Thinking that Lin Ruan was so careful, Mrs. Shen San's heart was moved, she touched the heads of the two children, and explained softly, "In the future, you must be good to your cousin, you know?" ”

Shen Tingyu kept nodding: "Of course you have to be good to your cousin, my cousin is amazing, and the toys I made for me have made those boys in the school greedy." They want to borrow it to play, so I won't give it to you. This is what my cousin did, and they want to go to their cousin! ”

The emotion on Mrs. Shen's face disappeared in an instant, she pricked up her eyes and grabbed Shen Tingyu's ear: "Little rabbit, did you sneak to the academy with toys again?" ”

A few days ago, she was invited by the master in the academy to talk about it, and now she blushes when she thinks about it, and when she comes back, she beats Shen Tingyu up. This kid promised well at the time, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he would make the same old mistake again.

Shen Tingyu screamed in pain, "Mother, mother, mother, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore." Ahhhh

Shen Tingzheng watched from the side, and shook his head helplessly, his younger brother is so stupid that he can't be helped.

The days flickered, and it was the end of the year.

Kyoto is lit up in preparation for the coming New Year.

The emperor also sealed the imperial pen, and all the civil and military officials took annual leave.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Ruan led his family into the palace early to attend the palace banquet.

Calculating the time, she has been back in Kyoto for less than two months, and she has already participated in three palace banquets.

Except for the freshness and curiosity when I participated in the palace banquet for the first time, I felt that it was not very interesting to participate in it later.

But tonight I can look forward to the performances of those daughters.

When she went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, the Queen Mother's mood was not high, and no matter how Mama Hong coaxed, she kept a straight face.

Seeing Lin Ruan coming, Mama Hong hurriedly asked Lin Ruan for help and asked Lin Ruan to find a way to coax the Queen Mother.

When Lin Ruan came, she was not empty-handed, she specially brought strawberries and cherries for the Queen Mother.

Opening the food box, Lin Ruan Xianbao walked to the Queen Mother with two fruits in her hands: "Grandmother Huang, look at what I brought you?" Big strawberries, and cherries. This strawberry is easy to get, and the cherry can cost my old nose, do you taste the sweetness? ”

The Queen Mother didn't have any appetite at all, but in order not to hurt Lin Ruan's heart, she still tasted a few of them, and then pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "It's delicious." ”

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruan knew that she was thinking about Xiao Jingchen, so he handed the food box in his hand to Mama Hong, and he gently patted her back from the Queen Mother's side, "Imperial Grandmother, if Jing Chen knew that you wanted him to be like this, he should blame himself." ”

The Queen Mother said sullenly: "If he knows that he blames himself, he will come back quickly." It's been more than half a year, and he hasn't come back to see the mourning family. He doesn't know that when people get old, maybe they will be gone one day? ”

Mama Hong was taken aback, "The Queen Mother wants to live a thousand years old, so you can't talk nonsense." ”

Lin Ruan was also busy saying: "Grandmother Huang is in good health......

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Don't say those nice words to coax me, although the mourning family is the Queen Mother, she is also a mortal child, even if she lives a hundred years old, there will be a day." The mourning family is not afraid of death, but the mourning family is afraid that when it comes, their children are not in front of them. ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother suddenly burst into tears.

Mama Hong's eyes were also red.

Lin Ruan's heart is not very comfortable, Xiao Jingchen will leave for as little as two or three years, and at most there is no fixed number. The Queen Mother is old, and it is normal for her to have such worries.

But she couldn't show any emotion, and still persuaded gently: "Don't be sad, Grandmother Huang, Jing Chen's mission is coming to an end, maybe he will come back in a few days." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "How many times have they told the mourning family about this kind of thing, but more than half a year has passed, and Jing Chen has nothing else except the occasional letter to the mourning family, and he hasn't even told the mourning family where he is." ”

The Queen Mother took Lin Ruan's hand and said, "Ah Ruan, tell the mourning family, where is Jing Chen?" Is there something you're hiding from me? The mourning family remembers very well that Chen'er had a conflict with the emperor at that time, did the emperor punish Chen'er and demote him somewhere? ”

Lin Ruan smiled and patted the Queen Mother's hand: "Imperial grandmother, you remember correctly, Jing Chen and his father did have a bit of an unpleasant quarrel at that time. After you fell and injured yourself, Jing Chen took care of you in the palace for several days, and my father was annoyed with him for a long time about this, and the two didn't care about each other, and neither of them refused to admit defeat. Who knew that there was a problem in the local area immediately afterward, and it was a little tricky, it was said that it was related to the king of Chu, and other people couldn't do it at all, so his father sent him out. ”

The Queen Mother will be skeptical, "Is this really the case?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded heavily: "Jing Chen really just went to run an errand, but the errand was a little tricky and took a long time." His subordinates, who are also with him, have not returned to Beijing for more than half a year, if you don't believe it, your granddaughter will call their families in a while, can you ask in person? ”

The Queen Mother really wanted to know about Xiao Jingchen, so she nodded in response.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager's mood eased a little, Lin Ruan found an excuse to leave Cining Palace for a while, let Luohua go to Yuxiu Palace, and let the Empress say hello to the elders and family members of Liang Twelve for a while, and string up a confession, so as not to be asked by the Empress Dowager to make mistakes.

After the queen received the news, she immediately sent people to wait at the gate of the palace, and as long as she saw the people of those families, they would be brought to Yuxiu Palace first.

With such an arrangement, Xiao Jingchen's subordinate family members all made a good statement in advance, and when the Queen Mother asked them, they also answered well.

Liang Twelve's mother said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother has superb martial arts, and there are so many guards around him, there is no problem with safety." It's just that this trip has been out for a long time, and when they left, the twelve children were only a little older, and now they can already walk a few steps with their hands on the table and chairs. Why don't I ask my child to walk you a few steps? ”

Older people are especially fond of children. Especially the baby of the Liang Twelve family is very beautiful and good-looking, grinning with a small mouth that has not yet grown all the teeth, and smiling brightly at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's mood is also a lot better, "Okay, hurry up and let him take a few steps to show the mourning family." The mourning family hasn't teased a child for a few years. ”

Qi hurriedly carried the child to the hall, then spread his hand, took a few steps back, and then clapped his hands at the child and called: "Bao'er, come quickly, come to your mother." ”

When the little guy was teasing, when he heard his mother calling him, he immediately smiled and squinted his eyes, and stumbled towards Qi as if he was drunk, and pounced on Qi's arms.
