Coming out of Wuying Palace, my father will take you to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother as usual.

The queen mother of the Southern Han Dynasty is the queen of the old Han Dynasty, Liu Yan's biological mother, her mother's family is prominent and powerful, and the financial and tax expenses of the Southern Han Dynasty are basically in the hands of the queen mother's family. The queen mother herself is shrewd and capable, quite scheming, and has made great contributions in the open and secret struggle for the throne for her son. It can be said that if there were no strategies of the Queen Mother in front of and behind the scenes, the weak and young Liu Yan, although he was a descendant, was unlikely to surpass Liu Shen, the eldest son of the king who had already opened the government and established the government and participated in the supervision of the country for many years, and got the throne.

Your parents' family and the Queen Mother's mother's family are connected and have a close relationship, and many of the Cui daughters married into the Queen Mother's family, and the Queen Mother's family also had many daughters married into the Ding family. If you talk about kinship, your father can be regarded as the queen mother's distant cousin, your mother can be regarded as the queen mother's close cousin, and you can also be regarded as the younger generation of the queen mother's relatives. The Queen Mother has relied heavily on her mother's family, and has paid great attention to the young children of her mother's family for many years. Your father was one of the most trusted and respected ministers of the old Han king, and the old Han king had close contacts with his father during his lifetime, and he had a similar temperament, and he did not hesitate to bestow on your father the title of first rank duke, which was second only to the prince, and would come to his father's mansion in Tongcheng every year to show his intimacy. The relationship between all aspects made the Queen Mother very familiar with her father. When the two sides met, they felt very cordial to each other, and the conversation had a family atmosphere.

After the Queen Mother carefully examined you, she greatly appreciated your appearance and temperament, and praised her father. The Queen Mother said: "The King of Han is young, and when the first king was alive, he was young and frail, and he did not have much practical experience in political and military affairs. Now inheriting the unification, the country is surrounded by strong enemies, and the crisis is lurking, and the mourning family knows very well in their hearts that relying on the power of the Han King alone, where can the foundation laid by the previous king be carried forward. Only by relying on the concerted support and advice of our clan relatives can we achieve great things together. The more talents among the descendants of the clan, the more stable the court of the Han King will be. ”

The Empress Dowager Jiamian said: "In the past ten years, Dingguo Gong has been willing to love his family, let his children go to hardships and experience, and never spoil his children, which is really commendable." According to the mourning family, Jinglong, this child, although he is young, but his personality is very calm, he talks and behaves, walks, sits and lies, has strict self-discipline, has no slightest exceedance, and does not flatter him, he is bright and upright, honest and outspoken, and has not been contaminated with the slightest bad habit of being a gentleman, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. Nowadays, the city has been peaceful for a long time, and the world is extravagant, among the children of the family in our capital, there are really not a few ambitious and promising children like Jinglong. ”

She said: "Although I don't know much about the affairs of Wuying Palace, I just heard a few words from the internal officials. Guogong, Jinglong, don't care too much about the current title of King Han. Now if the king of Han wants to recruit the wise men of the world and revitalize the dynasty, he must be meritocratic regardless of his identity. Because I am afraid that others will say that the king only values the family and does not pay attention to the actual talent, for the younger brothers of the clan who have just come out, the title will inevitably be deliberately light. Fortunately, the future is long, a good boy like Jinglong has more opportunities to serve the imperial court, and he can emerge sooner or later. I hope you can understand King Han's intentions and don't care about the length of the moment. The son of the clan has always been the most relied on force of the Han King. This will not change no matter what. ”

The father hurriedly thanked him and said, "The old minister thanked the queen mother for the exhortation of the dog. The rain, dew and sunshine are all the grace of the king, we as courtiers, we should only be grateful and accept, think of loyalty to the king, how dare we pick the fat and choose the thin, and have something to desire. Jinglong is a child of the family, and it is his duty to serve his father's family and country, and his responsibility lies in his duty. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Hearing what the Duke of the Kingdom said, the old body is very pleased. Guogong is well aware of the righteousness, and he is worthy of being the minister of the humerus who was so appreciated and relied on by the previous king. Jinglong is also so sensible, and he is well-educated. If his mother is still alive, seeing such a good son, she must be able to have no regrets in this life. Alas, thinking of my hard-working sister of the Ding family, I am really sad in my heart. ”

You bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you to the Queen Mother for remembering her mother for so many years, every year on the day of her mother's death, the Queen Mother has a reward offering." Mother has knowledge under the spring, and she should also be grateful. ”

"Oh, good boy, get up, get up." The Queen Mother personally sat down and stretched out her hand to pull you up. She looked at your face again and said, "She really looks like your mother, and when I see you, I will remind the mourning family of what she looked like before she got married, and teach the mourning family a burst of joy and bitterness in their hearts." ”

The Queen Mother turned to her father and said, "Guogong, Jinglong has just returned from Qingchuan, and you haven't considered his family affairs yet." You chuckle inwardly, and your lips twitch very slightly. The Queen Mother turned around and looked at you again, and said, "It's really a talent, and I love it when I teach people to see it." Although the child is still young, the Duke of the Kingdom has a son-in-law of Jinglong, and it is a big deal to inherit the heir. I told him about the family earlier, and I had a happy event, so that the prince could hug his grandson as soon as possible, so that the sister of the Ding family could also feel stable under Jiuquan. ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, you knelt down beside her and said, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's care." Although it is also a major event to inherit the heirs, but the minister has just come of age, in the country and the court, has not yet achieved the power of a day, and has not built a size, I really dare not talk about marriage first, it is advisable to be the country before the family, first wholeheartedly, for the country. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "It's rare for you to have this ambition." You don't have to be nervous, the mourning family didn't say that they would give you a marriage right away. Even if you want to get married, you can rest assured, you will have to carefully choose a good girl for you, so that you can raise your eyebrows and be harmonious. The mourning family will not mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, so that you will not be able to talk about the hardships in your future life. Let's look at the marriage that the first king brought for your father, how happy it was. You bow your head and say, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

When my father heard this, he thanked him again and said, "The grace of the first king and the queen mother, the Cui family is unforgettable. The child's marriage, the old man will follow the queen mother's decree, pay more attention, if the queen mother has a favorite beauty in her heart, she also respectfully asks the queen mother to draw a red line for the children. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "That's natural, the mourning family will take good care of Jinglong." Now that the King of Han has ascended the throne and has the assistance of your loyal ministers and good generals, the mourning family does not have to worry about state affairs, and can worry about the children's lifelong affairs. ”

The audience ended in a joyful atmosphere. The father and son received the gift from the Queen Mother and quit.

Looking at the backs of the father and son, the Queen Mother smiled and said to the maid beside her, "Do you see it?" The mourning family can see that this kid has someone in his heart. It's a pity that the man is rough-hearted, and the prince is afraid that he still doesn't know anything. ”

The maid hurriedly replied: "The queen mother's eyesight, how can she be compared with ordinary people? ”

The Queen Mother said: "Alas, although his mother is miserable, she can be blind in the end if she leaves such a child." In her heart, she sighed to herself: "Heaven has mercy, if my words and appearance can be like him, it would be great." ”

When you walked out of Cining Palace, you took a deep breath in the cool air, and the nerves that had just been tense suddenly relaxed. At this time, you realize that your palms are already covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Feeling your breathing, my father looks back at you and asks, "Why is your face a little pale, isn't there anything uncomfortable?" ”

You shake your head and say, "No." It's just that the first time I met the two palaces, my son was a little nervous. The Queen Mother suddenly talked about her son's marriage, and the son was unprepared, so he was a little..."

The father smiled and said, "This is something that will be discussed sooner or later, and you don't have to be so shy." It's not too early, let's go back from the palace, the family is still waiting. ”
