That night, Qi Min ordered someone to send a colorful head into the palace, and I opened the flat box, and saw that inside was a collar of mutton fat 'jade', decorated with ruby, sapphire, jade, amber, lapis lazuli and red coral. Under the candle flame, it shines brightly, and if it is worn in the sun, I am afraid that it will be 'lost' from people's eyes.

"Put this away, it's so dazzling, you can't wear it at this time. I instructed the 'spring' to be put away, and after thinking about it, I said, "I remember that he once gave me a white 'jade' hairpin, put it together! ”

In the spring, I opened the treasury and put it in one place, found a fan cover for me, and said: "The slave and maid see, the mutton fat 'jade' in this circle is the same as the 'jade' of the hairpin, and I don't know if it is cut from a piece of 'jade'." ”

"Yes. "I didn't dig deeper. Instead, he picked up the fan cover, found the silk thread of the same 'color' again, faced the light, stayed up all night to finish it, and then put it in the brocade box, and ordered it to be sent to the 'spring'. "Let's just say that the color head is just a joke, and the regent of Lao broke the fee, which is a return gift. ”

'Spring' took it with a smile and went to the golden 'flower' to send it in person.

Now Qi Min is living in gold, and he hardly returns to the palace.

After returning from the 'spring equinox', he said to me: "The prince said, thank you for your kindness, the hot day is the time to use the fan, and your return gift is very suitable for his heart! After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled.

I glanced at her, pretending not to pay attention to it, and only asked Lixia to prepare this morning's breakfast more sumptuously.

After going down to the court, Qi Min and Run came over to say goodbye, saw a table of porridge and water snacks, and said with a smile: "Seeing so much deliciousness, Weichen is really hungry, thank you for the empress dowager's compassion." ”

I said, "The regent is a member of the country, and his hard work is high, which is nothing. ”

Yuan Xi and Baoyue also got up and came over, and their eyes lit up when they saw such a sumptuous breakfast. When he was using it, Yuan Xi said: "It would be nice if my father came to have breakfast every day." ”

Qi Min smiled and asked, "Oh, does Yuan Xi like his father to accompany you?"

Yuan Xi said: "In this way, the Empress Dowager will make a lot of snacks in order to entertain her father, and we can eat more." ”

When I saw the embarrassed smile on Qi Min's face, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Qi Min quickly said: "Well, in order to let our Yuan Xi and Baoyue have a lot of dim sum to eat in the morning, my father will come every day in the future." ”

Yuan Xi grinned, I pinched his face, and said with a smile: "You little gluttonous cat!"

Baoyue laughed, Yuan Xi lowered her head embarrassedly, and Qi Min looked at me with deep affection in her eyes.

Runxian put down the chopsticks and said with compassion: "The emperor uses so little, is he not feeling well?" Runxian hurriedly said: "No, I get up early every day, and the emperor's grandmother has instructed the small kitchen to make me snacks, so that I can eat and go to the court." So, I'm not very hungry yet. ”

I said, "He's still young, and it's time to grow his body, so he can't compare to you." ”

Qi Min nodded and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager is very thoughtful. ”

After breakfast, Qi Min went to review the recital, and the three children stayed to play, and after playing for a while, I checked their homework. Among the three, Yuan Xi is the most intelligent, and he can almost never forget it, and he can recite it. Baoyue is playful, even though her talent is not bad, but she refuses to pay attention, anyway, she is a 'girl' child, so I went with her. It's run, the talent is not high, and the acquired effort is not diligent, in the end it is limited.

I sighed, put down the book, and said helplessly, "That's it, let's stop here today." ”

Run lowered his head in shame, and Yuan Xi said: "It's okay, the emperor, didn't the teacher also say it? Hearing the Tao has a precedence, and there is a specialization in the art industry, maybe your specialty is to be the emperor, do learning or something, just 'hand' it over to me!"

I thought it was funny, so I asked, "Does Yuan Xi want to be a scholar in the future?"

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said: "Only by doing a good job of learning can you become a virtuous person, so that you can assist the king and make the king also a virtuous king." ”

I was stunned, beckoned him to come over, squatted down, looked at him carefully, stroked his eyebrows, and sighed: "Yuan Xi, do you know? You look more and more like your father...... Father. ”

Yuan Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, "But the Empress Dowager, everyone else says that I look like my mother, and some people say that I ...... Say I look like you!"

Tears welled up in my eyes and I held him tightly in my arms. Yuan Xi, my Yuan Xi...... How pleased I am that you carry the blood of your father and mother, but how afraid I am that you will become more and more like us!

Baoyue pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Queen Mother, and me!"

I smiled and stretched out my arms to carry her in, and said with a smile: "Okay, and you little naughty!", but when I touched Run's envious gaze, I also reached out and pulled him in, and said, "You three! If you grow up, I won't be able to hold it." ”

Baoyue said: "Then we will never grow up!" I kissed her face and smiled: "Say stupid things again!"

The days are rare and simple, and Qi Min really comes over for breakfast every morning, two adults and three children, as if they are a family. I thought that the rest of my life would go on like this, and it would be a good choice to think about it, but one sunny morning, there was still one thing that worried me the most.

In late May, the weather gets hotter and hotter than usual. Especially in the afternoon, the three children went to class and came back from a walk, and their little faces were flushed. I saw this situation, and prepared to let Yuan Xi and Baoyue go to Penglai Mountain to escape the summer in June. Although Run can't go with him, I want to avoid his morning and dusk and study in the Nanxun Palace.

In the morning, I was thinking about this matter and arranging which people to follow. Cao Hong ran in at a trot, threw herself on the ground and said, "The Queen Mother, it's not good, something is wrong!"

I suddenly felt in my heart and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Hongyu said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is going to the court, and suddenly fainted, and now the people have been carried to the Nanxun Palace, and the imperial doctors have rushed over, and the two princes have called the servants to come and go quickly." ”

My fingertips trembled, and I said in a trembling voice: "How can this be? What happened to the emperor? But he was suffering from heat stroke?" "I shouldn't think about it! It's early in the morning, and the sun hasn't completely come up!" As he spoke, he went down the stairs and said in a continuous voice: "Swing, drive! The mourning family will go to the Nanxun Hall to have a look! It must be that you are not serving well, the emperor is already weak, if there are any three long and two short, see how I clean you up!"

When I arrived at the Nanxun Palace, I saw Run's face, and my heart "sighed", and then when the doctors finished diagnosing the pulse, Shen Qi whispered to me: "The Empress Dowager must have seen it, the emperor is not sick, but poisoned!"
