After a short rest, Anqian came over and quietly woke up Xingzhen, "Queen Mother, Cheng'en Gong is here, and now I handed over the sign and asked to see it." A little drowsiness was swept away, Xingzhen hurriedly supported herself from the kang, and said again and again, "Please come in quickly, Fan'er, you go and invite the master and Brother Xiang'er, Anqian quickly wash my face and wear homely clothes." Wearing a snow-gray satin embroidered four-season flower basket cotton robe, covered with a tea-blue satin embroidered peony jacket, Xingzhen nodded, and hurriedly asked others to help her, rolled up the Nanzhu curtain of the East Warm Pavilion, and wanted to go straight out of the palace door, Anqian hurriedly stopped, and persuaded in her mouth: "Niangniang, now you are the lord of the six palaces, although Cheng'en Gong is a relative, but the etiquette should still pay attention to something." ”

Xingzhen clapped her hands happily, turned around and sat on the throne in the main hall, "Then I'll wait for them here, by the way, you go to Xinuan Pavilion to see if the eldest brother is awake, if he is awake, take it out and show it to his father and Brother Xiang." ”

"Yes."

As soon as Anqian went out, Tang Wufu entered the main hall, called a thousand, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Cheng'en Gong and Yun Cavalry Captain have brought it." ”

"Come into the temple quickly."

The curtain at the entrance of the main hall was lifted again, and the second-class Chengen Gong wearing official uniforms, Guanglu Temple Qing Hui Zheng and Gui Xiang entered the main hall together, Hui Zheng did not dare to raise his head first, walked to the atrium, and Gui Xiang knelt down on his knees and asked Da'an, "Slave Hui Zheng, slave Gui Xiang, please give the queen mother, the queen mother Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

"Get up quickly, five blessings, sit down, and serve tea." Xingzhen couldn't hold back her excitement, and saw that Gui Xiang, who was only eight years old, was ignorant and followed her father meticulously bowing, and when Gui Xiang got up, she hurriedly beckoned to Gui Xiang, "Brother Xiang, come, come to the big sister." Gui Xiang looked at the noble man who was full of jewels and jade, and was the eldest sister who loved him the most before, hesitated for a while, and then looked at the father on the side who had no objection, so he obediently stepped forward, Xingzhen hugged the little brother who was reborn and played with the back of his buttocks, hugged his chest and smiled

On the fourth day of the first month of February, he saw Cheng'en Gonghui Zheng father and son in Chuxiu Palace, and said that his father said: "The family of the field, although it is salt and cloth, can finally gather the joy of family, although it is extremely rich and noble, all parties have no fun!" Hui Zheng also said with tears in his eyes: "Minister, the grass is reckless, and among the doves and crows, how can you want to recruit the Rui of Fengluan. Today's nobles are on Xi Tian'en, under Zhao Zude, this is the essence of the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, the ancestors of the far virtue of Zhong in one person, fortunate and Hui couple. And now the great virtue of the creatures of heaven and earth, the grace that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, although the liver and brain are smeared, how can the courtiers be rewarded in case! However, I am loyal to my duties, and I wish you a long life, which is the same happiness for all people in the world. The queen mother must not think of the old age of Hui Zheng and his wife, and pray for self-cherishment. However, the industry is conscientious, diligent and prudent, and the servant is worthy of the thoughtfulness and affection. The queen also instructed "only focus on state affairs, maintain it for a while, and don't remember" and other words.

Well, the above is the news released in the official tone that has been reviewed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in fact, the newly released Zhengpai Guo Uncle Gui Xiang looked at his nephew carefully for a while, and lost interest in the baby who couldn't speak in the swaddling clothes, and pulled the sails to go to the palace to see the scenery, Xingzhen hurriedly ordered, "Take Brother Xiang to the Imperial Garden, don't go anywhere else." ”

Xingzhen and Hui Zheng are left in the hall, Xingzhen looks at this thin middle-aged man who is nominally his father, although he has not seen Hui Zheng after being reborn, but in the correspondence between Hongyan, he can experience his delicate love for his daughter, maybe Hui Zheng's talent is not a capable minister of the world, but he wants to follow the meaning of his letter, transfuse blood to Zeng Guofan, leave silver to Li Hongzhang, and make every effort to protect half of the military salary of Liangjiang, not only earned himself the title of a second-class Chengen Duke, also let his daughter, who was originally in crisis, jump up and enter the position of Concubine Fengyi, thinking of this, Xingzhen spoke.

"Father, is everything okay at home?"

"If you go back to Niangniang, everything is fine at home, Mei'er can also help Mrs. Zhending manage housework at home, although Brother Xiang is not interested in learning in the flag, but he does not rely on Niangniang's power to be arrogant outside, and the slave is waiting for Niangniang to give Mei'er and Guixiang a good marriage, and the slave will be at ease." Hui Zheng replied with relief.

"Father, don't be a slave, in this Chuxiu Palace, I don't even let the palace people who serve me call themselves slaves, my father is still you, me, you and me, it's just that, our mother and daughter are talking, the emperor is not here, father, don't be so restrained." Xingzhen was a little unbearable, her father called himself a slave, and hurriedly asked Hui Zheng to change his words.

"Yes, Niangniang Rende."

"Father, although I am in charge of the internal affairs office in the palace, I don't get any errands for the family, I don't know if the relatives at the head of the family have a lot of complaints about me, a hard-hearted woman?"

"What gossip do they dare to have, Niangniang, your stable position in the palace is the first priority, and there are not many relatives in our family, I only have a few uncles and brothers of the same clan, the family population is simple, less trivial, and it is not a good thing."

"That's also there, but I'm not afraid of what they say, even if it was the imperial concubine before, it was not right, I was inconvenient to meddle in this internal affairs office, I want to arrange some people, to be honest, I have enough spare energy, not to mention, there are others in the internal affairs office now." Xingzhen said indifferently.

Hui Zheng thought slightly, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, are you talking about Su Shun?" ”

"Exactly, he is also one of the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should also hear the previous things, father, he is now the first proud courtier of the foreign dynasty, and in one sentence, the emperor's plan to appoint me as the queen is not over, if it weren't for the fact that the queen mother owed me a favor before, I don't know that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey can be in the middle palace, and I will have to settle this account with him sooner or later!" Xingzhen's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a little ruthlessness.

"Yes, Niangniang, I will do my best to help Niangniang outside."

"I'm not in a hurry at the moment, now that the emperor wants to rely on him to raise food, I don't want to have more bad thoughts, I think privately, father, if Sushun and a group of people cause a storm in the city outside, the first one in our family can't stand it and jump out, and endure it."

"What Niangniang said is very true, I remember, I told them to keep a low profile when I go home."
