The high palace walls seem to block the Queen Mother and Yingyun in two worlds, and no one can contact each other. "Dream of Red Mansions" was flooded in the capital, and a large number of reprints were made, and manuscripts were everywhere, and the price gradually fell.

In this way, the Queen Mother's desire to find the person who copied it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After searching for a few days, there was still no useful news.

The Queen Mother sighed leisurely: "Perhaps, the will of heaven is so. ”

Outside the hall, a shrill announcement was suddenly heard: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The Queen Mother put away the scroll in her hand, sat upright, and saw the emperor come in with the curtain lifted, and walked to her to say goodbye.

"Say hello to Galeries Lafayette." Since the empress disappeared, it was rare to see a smile on the emperor's face, and his face was sallow.

"Sit down." The Queen Mother pointed to the side of the warm kang.

"No," the emperor said lightly, "I have come to ask Lafayette, I don't want to go to the garden this year, if Lafayette thinks the palace is stuffy, I can arrange for you to go to the Old Summer Palace." ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "After so long, you are still complaining about me, aren't you?" ”

"My son doesn't dare." The Emperor bowed respectfully.

"Don't dare?" The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a year, if the queen has news, it should have been there a long time ago." How long will the emperor wait? Now the one in Yikun Palace can't be hidden for a long time after all. ”

The emperor's eyes were silent, and he said, "I have always felt that the empress is still alive, in a place that I don't know. I will guard the Yikun Palace for her and wait for the queen to return. Empress...... I'll definitely come back to me. "Fish fish

The Queen Mother looked at his lonely and helpless expression, felt a lot in her heart, and her eyes moistened, and said: "That's it, I won't go to the garden this year, I will accompany the emperor, stay in the palace to guard Yikun Palace, and wait for the queen!" ”

"Galeries Lafayette?!" The emperor looked up, saw that the tears in the corners of the queen mother's eyes had not dried, and asked in surprise: "Lafayette, ...... are you?"

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's nothing, I just read a book, and I was moved by the story in it." As she spoke, she handed the scroll to the emperor and said, "This story is very well written, and the emperor can read it when he has time to relieve his boredom." ”

"Yes," the emperor took the scroll, bowed, and said, "My son is busy with government affairs, and if Lafayette has no other instructions, my son will retire first." ”

"Go ahead." The Queen Mother waved her hand and turned into a low sigh.

Mama Xiangzhi sent the emperor away, packed up the uncooled tea, and sighed: "The emperor this year, although he came over every day, he never sat down to drink a sip of tea, and as soon as the queen left, the emperor seemed to have no soul, and the servants were distressed when they saw it. ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "Crazy men and women, in this world, there is only one love word that hurts the most." ”

Xiangzhi Mama said again: "In this year's draft, the emperor has not given instructions for a long time, and the show girls of the Eight Banners are waiting, which is not a problem. Perhaps, with a newcomer entering the palace and adding a few good-looking ones, the emperor will slowly let go. ”

The Queen Mother was suspicious: "Why did you suddenly mention this?" ”

Mama Xiangzhi said in a low voice: "Lafayette, you promised Wang Sige's daughter to enter the palace, but now there is no news to be delivered, so they naturally want to ask." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "I really forgot about this, the emperor has no intention of drafting, you go to Yanxi Palace and let the imperial concubine take the draft on your behalf." Since I promised Wang Sige, I can't break my trust with him. ”

"Yes."
