"Your aunt? Is your aunt in the palace? ”

"Hmmm! I just saw her! They say she lives in the palace! ”

Qin Chuyu was confused.

Staying at the Royal Palace? Only the masters in the palace really live in the palace, such as the queen mother, the queen concubine and their princes, etc., but there are a lot of palace maids and grandmothers in the palace, maybe one of them is the aunt of the little friend?

"What's your aunt's name?" Qin Chuyu asked.

"My aunt's name is ...... It's called ......" Xiao Jingkong remembered that he didn't know his aunt's name for a while, "I don't know!" ”

"This ......," Qin Chuyu sighed, "If you don't know the name, it will be difficult to find, there are more people in the palace than there are students of Guozijian." ”

Xiao Jingkong recalled it carefully, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "They call her the Queen Mother!" ”

"Ahem!" Qin Chuyu choked, "Too, the Queen Mother? Your aunt is the Queen Mother? Are you a member of the Zhuang family? ”

Xiao Jingkong thought for a while and said rigorously: "I am a farmer in the countryside, but now that we have moved to the capital and no longer farm, we should not be regarded as a farmer." ”

Qin Chuyu: What does this have to do with farming? Why is it not the Zhuang family when you move to the capital? Can this be changed at will?

The two children talked to each other for a long time, and Qin Chuyu didn't understand whether Xiao Jingkong was the Zhuang family or not.

He is only eight years old, say he understands, he doesn't understand, but he doesn't understand, he knows that the queen mother and Zhuang Guifei are not dealing with each other.

Qin Chuyu said with a straight face: "If you are the Zhuang family, I will not be able to play with you in the future." ”

Xiao Jingkong glared at the round eyes and said, "But I'm not a farmer anymore!" You can play with me! ”

"Well, okay then." He was quite reluctant to let this little friend go, "But I can't take you into the palace today." Recently, my sister-in-law is sick, my brother is in a bad mood, and I will make him unhappy when I take my little friend to the palace, so if you wait for two more days, I will definitely take you into the palace. ”

Small Headroom: ...... That's all there is to it.

Empress Dowager Zhuang returned to Renshou Palace, which had been absent for more than a year.

Everything in Renshou Palace is the same as before, and even the palace people are the same as before she left the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang returned to the palace in a high-profile manner and did not communicate with the emperor in advance, which really gave the emperor a big "surprise"!

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat on the phoenix chair on the steps of the main hall, wearing a dark red embroidered gold phoenix robe, and a golden phoenix crown on her head, graceful and luxurious, but also domineering.

The emperor stood on the white marble floor in front of her, with a respectful and filial expression: "The queen mother is in good health, it is really a great blessing for the country." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang's gaze fell lightly on the emperor's face, and she said without being salty: "It's good that the emperor understands." ”

The emperor's eyes moved, and he said with a smile to the Empress Dowager Zhuang: "The palace is far away, and the queen mother is tired along the way, so the son brought the imperial doctor Liang to ask for peace for the queen mother." Imperial Doctor Liang! ”

"The minister is here!" Imperial Doctor Liang, who was over fifty years old, stepped forward with a medical kit, knelt down, and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Zhuang, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang sneered, stretched out her hand, and said casually: "The emperor is filial, and the mourning family will not brush the emperor's heart." ”

The emperor gave Imperial Physician Liang a look and motioned for him to ask for a pulse for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Imperial Physician Liang walked to the feet of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, put the medicine box on the ground, opened it and took out a clean silk cloth and put it on the wrist of the Empress Dowager, and then called the Empress Dowager through the silk cloth.

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Liang, how is the pulse of the mourning family?" ”

Imperial Doctor Liang withdrew his hand, put the silk cloth away, and arched his hand: "The Queen Mother's pulse is stable, and she seems to be three points healthier than before. ”

The Emperor frowned without a trace.

Empress Dowager Zhuang lightly hooked the corners of her lips: "The emperor is disappointed? ”

The emperor hurriedly said: "How come? The son has always hoped that the queen mother will recover as soon as possible, be safe and smooth, and live a long life. ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang sneered: "Inheriting the emperor's auspicious words, the mourning family will definitely live a long life, and the mourning family will also watch the Zhao country grow stronger and stronger, the people will have enough food and clothing, and the world will have a peaceful and prosperous era." ”

The Emperor's hand, buried under his wide sleeves, clenched into a fist.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a smile: "The emperor's filial piety and mourning family know, if there is no emperor, go and be busy, the mourning family is not there, presumably the emperor is very busy." ”

These words are a little meaningful, what is the emperor busy with? Whether he was busy dealing with government affairs or cutting off the queen mother's henchmen, it is unknown.

The emperor said: "The son will go first, the queen mother will take care of the phoenix body, and the son will come to visit the queen mother another day." ”

"No need." Empress Dowager Zhuang said.

The emperor was slightly stunned.

In the next second, I heard Empress Dowager Zhuang say: "I can see you tomorrow morning, why bother to run again?" ”

This means that the curtain will be lowered again.

The emperor didn't know what mood he was in when he walked out of Renshou Palace.

He asked Gonggong Wei to retreat and asked Imperial Doctor Liang: "Is the Queen Mother's pulse really okay?" ”

Imperial Doctor Liang said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's pulse is indeed better than before leaving the palace, and her body is much harder." ”

The emperor said suspiciously: "How can you still be tough after living in the people for so long?" What about her leprosy? ”

Imperial Doctor Liang shook his head: "There is no leprosy." ”

The emperor frowned: "Does the absence of leprosy mean that she has been cured, or has she not had it at all?" ”

"This ......" Imperial Doctor Liang didn't know how to judge, it was he who diagnosed leprosy for the Empress Dowager Zhuang in the first place, he was sure that he was not wrong, but leprosy is an incurable disease, but the Empress Dowager was cured like a normal person-

Forget it, it's useless to delve into these things now, Empress Dowager Zhuang has come back safe and sound.

The situation was even worse than the emperor expected, I thought that in the more than a year that the Empress Dowager Zhuang was away, the emperor had secretly cut off or subdued many of the Empress Dowager Zhuang's henchmen, but she only returned to the palace this morning, and the situation in the imperial city was reshuffled in the afternoon.

The emperor urgently summoned several elders, but half of them said that they were sick and could not come, and most of those who came were playing sloppy with him.

They swore allegiance to him the day before!

Emperor Long Yan was furious, but he couldn't really kill them, so Empress Dowager Zhuang would definitely come forward to save them, and they would be more loyal to Empress Dowager Zhuang.

The emperor was so angry that his heart ached, and he summoned the old sacrificial wine overnight.

The old sacrificial wine left a subordinate in the rented house, and the emperor sent someone to summon him, and his subordinates would come to Bishui Hutong to inform him.

In fact, the emperor summoned him several times earlier, when the emperor was in power, he did not come, and when the emperor was in decline, he came.

The emperor was naturally moved, walked out from behind the desk, and held his hand: "I know that Aiqing is the person I can really trust!" ”

The mood of the old sacrificial wine was very complicated, he understood that the time he had been waiting for had finally come, and at this time, he would definitely be able to get His Majesty's absolute trust and respect, but he was not happy.

Not only for himself, but also for Rokuro.

Rokuro's entry into the court as an official means that he has to be the enemy of the entire dealer, and it is impossible for him to let Rokuro go.

But can he still regard Zhuang Jinse as the former Empress Dowager Zhuang?

The emperor said excitedly: "I canonize you as the prince of the country on the same day, and the holy decree will be announced to the world tomorrow!" ”

The old sacrificial wine knelt down and saluted in a deep voice: "Minister...... Thank you, Lord Longne! ”

Father-in-law Wei sent the old sacrificial wine out of the palace.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, I met the Empress Dowager Zhuang's Luan.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's appetite is not very good, and her mood is also a little irritable, obviously it is still the same palace, but somehow, Empress Dowager Zhuang feels lonely.

The secluded and deep palace is not that it has never been lonely, but this time it has brought a little loneliness.

"Niangniang, would you like to have some more snacks? You ate too little for dinner. A little palace maid said with a plate of delicate and delicious rose cakes.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has no appetite.

The old priest stood behind the flowers, looking at her steadily.

Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was wearing a phoenix robe, had a fierce aura, her eyes were like knives, and she was like an out-of-body sword if she didn't speak, and no one dared to plunder its edge.

Gonggong Wei stopped beside the old sacrificial wine, looked at the old sacrificial wine, and then looked at the Queen Mother, and whispered: "Lord Huo, but you are going to see the Queen Mother?" ”

The old priest shook his head.

What if you see it? She doesn't remember.

She will no longer use a knife to hold on his neck and rob him of his private money, nor will she force him to go to the stove house to make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes for her, nor will she hide the half-eaten candied fruit in his house, and will no longer take him to serve tea and pour water when playing leaf cards.

"Let's go." The old sacrificial wine said abruptly.

Gonggong Wei looked at the back of the old sacrificial wine, how did he feel that Lord Huo and the Queen Mother were a little depressed?
