Alas, the Empress Dowager Ming sighed in her heart, who doesn't have children around her knees to enjoy the family at this age. But it's a real headache to have such a bull son!

Besides, it's definitely not a problem to keep going like this! She secretly wondered if she should make another decision and take that Chu Xiruo back.

Xiao Luo obviously heard what the Empress Dowager Ming said, but he ignored her words and remained silent, just bowed his head and drank steaming tea, drinking three bowls, as if he hadn't quenched his thirst.

The Empress Dowager Ming looked at him coldly, and said in her heart that the "Neutralization Festival" needs the emperor and queen to work together to cultivate and show peace and tranquility to the world, but how can there be a queen now?

It is no wonder that he came to him early in the morning, thinking that he had come to ask for ideas.

Empress Dowager Ming sighed, and simply mentioned it directly, "It is said that life and death are unknown, I have been looking for this for almost a year, and I probably can't come back."

Xiao Luo paused slightly in his hand when he heard this, and slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.

This is the first time since Meishuang's accident that the Queen Mother and him vomited for more than half a year took the initiative to talk about Meishuang.

He came today to talk about it.

In fact, he already knew what the Empress Dowager Ming meant, although Meishuang had made great contributions, but after all, her fate was thin, and if she was gone, she would be gone.

It's certain that I'm distressed at this time, but as far as the harem is concerned, if the country can't be left without an owner for a day, this harem can't always let the seat of the middle palace be empty.

In fact, speaking of which, looking at the palace, those concubines who are like flowers and jade, except for the difference in family background and face, really have no extra brilliance, which makes it difficult for anyone to be the master of the harem.

"Although you originally planned to make the holy decree after the seal, didn't you have time to read the frost before it was gone? Then don't count."

The Empress Dowager Ming said, and at the same time sighed in her heart, which dynasty and which generation has a precedent of the emperor being abolished twice in a row after the emperor ascended the throne for two years, not to mention that it was abolished and then sealed, like a child playing at home, and it was passed out to laugh and be generous.

"In the opinion of the mourning family, you should choose one from the concubines, in terms of qualifications and family background, Concubine Chen should be able to"

When Empress Dowager Ming said this, even Aunt Yu beside her was taken aback. You know, the emperor's most annoying concubine is about Concubine Chen, because of the last sour plum soup incident Concubine Chen is a harmful spirit in the emperor's heart, almost locked her up, and then didn't see her for half a year, and now the Queen Mother has mentioned letting Concubine Chen take on this important responsibility, presumably the mother-son relationship that is not harmonious because of Meishuang is stiff again.

Xiao Luo raised his eyes, and he couldn't see any look in his dark eyes, so he only said lightly, "Concubine Chen can't do it." ”

“”

Empress Dowager Ming couldn't hold her breath anymore, and raised her voice three degrees unhappily, "Then who do you say?" ”

Xiao Luo was silent for a while and got up, "Children have their own decisions. ”

Seeing Xiao Luoyingting's figure disappearing outside the palace, the Empress Dowager Ming came back to her senses for a long time, and she was so angry that she pounded the bed, so frightened that Aunt Yu hurriedly stepped forward to beat her back, for fear that she would be angry.

Empress Dowager Ming came to her senses and almost shed tears, "Why is the life of the mourning family so bitter, when he promised Shuang'er to him, he was reluctant, but now that Shuang'er is gone, he can't look down on others anymore, it's really sad."

Aunt Yu comforted, "The Queen Mother is angry, don't hurt your body, the emperor is not a child, he must know what to do." ”

"It would be nice if he knew! In the future, the mourning family is too lazy to pay attention to him! Empress Dowager Ming said heavily.

After a while, she suddenly remembered something, "Jinyu, you said that although the people who went with Shuang'er were also sick, they were not as sick as Shuang'er at that time!" Also, after a long time, there is no one alive or dead. Is she really gone? ”

Aunt Yu felt a "sigh" in her heart, and said that the Queen Mother was not sick and confused, this Meishuang was not only very sick at the beginning, but also fell into the river, so what is good?

"Queen Mother, in fact, the slave and maid looked at the emperor and didn't seem to believe that Miss Frost had gone, but now there is no sign that Miss Frost is still there."

Empress Dowager Ming sighed and said no more.

――Out of the Queen Mother's Palace, the sky was already bright, Xiao Luo looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the sky, but his heart was extremely dark.

Gonggong Li, who was beside him, saw that the emperor's eyebrows were frowning slightly, and seemed to be in a daze again, so he hurriedly bowed down and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the concubines of the palace are ready, just wait for the emperor to go over and start the ceremony of worshiping the sky."

Xiao Luo came back to his senses and said coldly, "Spread the edict, this year's 'Neutralization Festival' I will worship the heavens with all the ministers, and the concubines in the palace will also wear cloth clothes and participate together."

Gonggong Li was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the middle palace was vacant, and it seemed that the emperor had deliberately omitted the procedure of farming with the queen mother this year.

To put it bluntly, even if the position of the middle palace is vacant, the emperor would rather lack than abuse.

After Gonggong Li passed the decree, the fastest change in his face was Concubine Chen, who was still satisfied. The other concubines didn't care, anyway, it wasn't their turn to compare with the emperor, and it was a feast for their eyes to be able to worship the sky with the ministers, and they were happy as if they were celebrating the New Year

-- Not only did the royal family attach great importance to spring ploughing, but also the people attached great importance to the day when the "dragon raised its head". Although the customs of the north and the south are different, they are both extremely solemn on this day.

On this day, the people of the north eat noodles, fried oil cakes, and popping corn in every household, in order to pray for the ascension of the dragon king, the clouds and rain, and the abundant harvest of grains, in order to show auspiciousness; And the people in the south of the Yangtze River regard this day as the "Flower Dynasty Festival", the above is the birthday of the god of flowers, everyone will go to worship the temple of flowers, catch the temple fair, and put the "flower god lamp" at night......

Early in the morning, there was a long queue in front of the shaving shop next to the "Honey Travels the World" hall on the side of the canal in Beijing, most of them were children, and the winding was 100 meters long.

Lin Tian'er leaned against the window on the second floor, looking tired and excited.

However, a steward named Si'er in the guild hall looked at the long queue at the door of his own guild hall, and was a little unhappy, sticking his head out through the window to let the children who were still giggling and playing in line get out of the way, so as not to block the business of the guild hall.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian'er stopped it in time, Lin Tian'er waved her hand, "Forget it, now that business is booming, where can they stop it?" On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and they all paid attention to the child's 'shaving the dragon's head', and then it was just the time, and it would open the door to welcome guests. ”

Although Si'er was a little uneven, she suddenly remembered something when she turned around and went down, and stood at the top of the stairs and asked, "Sister, do you think the order in this month should or shouldn't?" ”

"What order?" Lin Tian'er leaned her elbows on the table and asked absentmindedly while looking outside.

"It's the wives and daughters of several retainers in the imperial city who are relatives of the emperor and the country, and they want to go to Jiangnan to have a look......" Si'er replied.

"Oh," Lin Tian'er said lazily, "yes, Lin Yuan should have arrived in Jiangnan, and he should be able to pick up the group in the middle of the month, if it is convenient for them, it will be more beneficial for us to push it to the end of the month......"

"Okay," Si'er agreed quickly, and glanced enviously at Lin Tian'er, who is now so big that his business is so popular that half of the capital is in the sky, that posture, that confident appearance, this is the real boss style.

Hearing the sound of Lin Tian'er going downstairs, Lin Tian'er turned around and specially instructed, "Don't use knives, scissors, needles and threads today, so as not to hurt the dragon's eye and ...... bad luck."

Si'er agreed again and again to go downstairs.

Looking at Si'er's slender figure disappearing at the staircase, Lin Tian'er smiled bitterly.

The fate of life is going round and round, who can grasp it?

This Si'er is the daughter of the florist's family who rejected Lin Yuan before, and I don't know how she got along with Lin Yuan.

remembered that Lin Yuan went to get drunk because she was so sad, so she met Lin Shutong by accident, and since then, the fate of their family has been closely linked to Lin Shutong......

Now that the person is gone, the past cannot be traced, and the thought of never seeing Lin Shutong again, Lin Tianer couldn't help but cry sadly.

Since Meishuang left, Lin Tianer has been deeply hit.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the tall decoration in the hall, remembering that Lin Shutong had agreed with her half of the profit for one person, she could only sigh again and again, if Lin Shutong was there, she would be happy.

Since the opening of this "Tianmi Tour World", in accordance with Lin Shutong's original instructions and her own ingenuity, according to the different service objects have developed a number of tourist routes, Miss Qianjin of Beijing, the prince and minister, the giant businessman and other people are her service objects, and later developed a mid-range tourist route, and even some tourist routes are given away as gifts or rewards.

Almost overnight, the gold-lettered signboard of "Honey Travels the World" has a foothold in the capital, as a leading fashion and elegant trend, it has set off a revolution that makes the women in the boudoir brave to go out. But all those who have participated in the "Honey Tour the World" activity will come back happily to promote the "long knowledge".

For a time, the business of "Tianmi Tour the World" was booming, and the employees who had been trained to work were full of enthusiasm, Lin Tianer summarized the possible problems and solutions left by Meishuang, and implemented the work solidly, in less than half a year, the turnover rose sharply, and the group in February this year was fully booked at the end of last year, and now the orders have to be pushed to the second half of the year.

……

Alas, no matter how good the performance is, Lin Shutong can't see it, and Lin Tian'er, who fell into memory, was afraid that she would cry, so she hurriedly got up and went to the back room.

Before entering the house, I heard the sound of "oh oh" from the stairs, accompanied by a joyful voice, "Sister, Lin Yuan has sent a letter, saying that he has arrived in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, safely." Yangzhou's Yunjin is good-looking, in the past, only the palace lady was dressed in style, and I actually saw it there, this time the daughters who went to the capital were eye-opening, and Lin Yuan also asked people to bring a few horses back to make clothes for us......"

Lin Tian'er didn't have the heart to listen to this, and said perfunctorily, "Okay, you can do it yourself......

――Yangzhou, the famous hometown of Yunjin.

Because of the Flower Festival on the second day of February, every household is busy, and the flower branches of each family's courtyard are hung with seven-colored threads, or tied with red and green ribbons, to express their congratulations to the flowers.

Even the flowers and trees on the street are like this, and the ribbons on the countless branches flutter in the wind, forming a unique scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

This year's "Flower Dynasty Festival" lives up to its name, and the flowering period is nearly half a month earlier than in previous years. When the spring in the north is cold, the peach blossoms and cherry blossoms in Yangzhou have bloomed one after another, and the branches are pink or white delicate.

The first thing Lin Yuan did when he arrived in Yangzhou was to ask the people from the local branch of "Tianmi Tour the World" to pick up the daughters in the capital who followed him here, and they arranged their clothing, food, housing and transportation in a unified manner.

He changed his costume and left the hall.

"Hey, where are you going?"

As soon as Lin Yuan got on the horse, he heard a crisp female voice from behind.
