The maid helped Lizhu dredge her hair and massaged her scalp.

Lizhu closed his eyes and asked, "Where has Your Majesty gone?" ”

Lizhu waited for a while after asking, and found that the maid did not answer. She opened her eyes in an instant, sat up, stared at the maidservant and said viciously, "Could it be that Your Majesty went to that little slut again?" ”

The maid shrank and shook her head, "That's not true, Your Majesty is out of the palace." ”

Lizhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Tuoba Tao often went out of the palace to the military camp stationed outside Pingcheng. As long as you don't go to that maid, you can go anywhere.

Lizhu lay back in the circle chair and closed his eyes, "Do you know where you went?" ”

"White, white."

Lizhu got up again in a rage, angrily sweeping everything on the dressing table to the ground, "Zong Ai is right, she is a demon girl. If you don't enter the palace, you still stuff people into the palace! This is to hook His Majesty's soul and make His Majesty worry about her! ”

Lizhu stared fiercely at his face in the bronze mirror, "March 3, Shangshi Festival, the month of mid-spring, the men and women of the Linghui." Your Majesty really knows how to choose a day! ”

Lizhu took a few breaths before calming down, "Help Bengong make up." The palace is going to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”

When Lizhu arrived at Shou'an Palace, the Queen Mother was listening to her grandmother reciting Buddhist scriptures. Although the Queen Mother is still in good spirits and is by no means ambiguous in handling political affairs, her eyes can no longer see clearly, even if people stand in front of her, they can only see a figure in a trance.

Lizhu stepped forward to take the bamboo slip in Mama's hand, word by word, and read it seriously for the Queen Mother.

After reciting a scripture, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand, and Mama and Lizhu stepped forward at the same time to help the Queen Mother up from the futon.

The Queen Mother patted Lizhu's hand, "After so many years, listening to your Bible reading is the most calm." ”

Lizhu said with a smile, "Being able to recite a sutra for the Queen Mother is a blessing for the concubines." The concubines were rewarded to Her Majesty by the Queen Mother, and they rarely had the opportunity to recite scriptures for the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother also smiled, "It is important to serve Your Majesty." The mourning family heard that His Majesty loves you the most, and you have to take more care of him. ”

Lizhu replied with a gloomy expression, "Oh." ”

The Queen Mother was puzzled, "What's the matter, why is it so unrefreshing to listen to the voice?" ”

Lizhu said, "The concubine also wants to contribute more to Your Majesty, but now in Your Majesty's heart, there is only that Tan Yuyu, and even a maid beside her is held in the palace by Your Majesty." I heard that Lord Liu Jie was belittled for participating in Tan Invite Yu, and the concubine was really worried that the master and servant would become the Daji and Bao Xi who brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

The Queen Mother was helped to sit down in the circle chair, closed her eyes and said "um", "Your Majesty is not young, it's time to make a queen......"

Lizhu was frightened, what did the Queen Mother mean by this? Do you want to set up Tan to invite rain, or do you plan to support a queen to squeeze out Tan Yu?

"The Queen Mother already has a candidate for the queen in her heart?" Lizhu tentatively said?

"Don't worry, don't worry, I have to look at ......" The Queen Mother's voice was slow, and she seemed to be very tired.

Lizhu knew that she should take the initiative to retire at this time, but she was really anxious about it. She knew in her heart that her identity had nothing to do with the queen's position.

But who the queen chooses determines whether she can continue to be the favorite concubine in the harem.

"Why don't the Queen Mother arrange a banquet and let the ladies of all clans come to the palace to talk to you, and you can look at each other." Lizhu felt that instead of letting Tan invite rain into the palace, it would be better to have a queen of the clan daughter.

The rule in the Northern Wei Palace is that the son and mother die. When the middle palace gives birth to a son-in-law, she will inevitably be made the crown prince, and then the queen can only die to protect her son's status. And the prince will be handed over to the nanny or favorite concubine to raise him. This is the case with today's Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother? Dowager? Lizhu waited for a while and didn't see the Queen Mother talking, so he whispered a few words.

The grandmother standing on the side stepped forward to take a look, and apologized to Lizhu, "Niangniang, the Queen Mother is asleep." Recently, the Queen Mother has always been sleepy, and after reciting the scriptures all morning, I am afraid that she is tired. It's better to go back to the palace first, and come back to the queen mother to say goodbye later. ”

Lizhu didn't expect the Queen Mother to say that she would sleep when she slew, she sighed lightly, "Okay, then the palace will go back first." ”

"Mother, go slowly."

After Lizhu left with her maidservant, Mama walked up to the Queen Mother and whispered, "Queen Mother, the person has left." ”

The Queen Mother opened her increasingly yellow eyes, and said with some regret, "She used to be a good child. Now in order to compete for favor, I have been careful. ”

The old lady said, "At the beginning, she didn't listen to the queen mother's advice, she couldn't bear it, and climbed the dragon bed without permission, and then it was sweet or bitter, and she could only bear it herself." It's just that Lizhu said that this sandalwood girl, the Queen Mother really doesn't plan to ask? ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, "What's the matter?" His Majesty has already enlisted himself, he has his own idea, that is, the mourning family asks, will he really listen? ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes again, her eyes would be a little sore when she had seen more things recently, "The mourning family heard that His Majesty said about this Tan girl, she is capable." Now this girl would rather move to a nunnery than enter the harem, so arrogant, I don't think she is the kind of person who only knows how to invite the king. ”

The old lady was still worried, "But this girl's father is the general of the Southern Song Dynasty." If she enters the Middle Palace, may she really be able to devote herself to His Majesty and Da Wei? ”

The Queen Mother is really tired this time, "The position of the queen is definitely not good." Even if the emperor likes this girl again, she can't afford it. Maybe Lizhu is right, it's time to call all the nobles of the clan into the palace and talk to the mourning family......"

The old lady said distressedly, "You better rest for a while." Your Majesty's northern expedition to Rouran has been going on for half a year, and you have worked too hard. Now that Your Majesty is in the palace, you can enjoy the blessings. ”

The Queen Mother sighed, "The mourning family doesn't have much time left. The major events in the middle palace need to be decided as soon as possible, otherwise the mourning family will have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. ”

The old lady hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." Don't talk nonsense, you still have to teach your grandchildren. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, but did not speak.

-- The Dividing Line --

The restaurant building was wrapped up by Tuoba Tao today, but this does not mean that no one in the building can come in except them.

The second floor was emptied of idle people, etc., and was tightly surrounded by Tuoba Tao's guards.

Upstairs there were two tables full of tables, and there was no repetition of the dishes. It is estimated that the chef of the restaurant has used his housekeeping skills.

Compared to the upstairs, the downstairs is very lively.

Tuoba Tao really put a lot of thought into it this time, and found a juggling team to perform outside the building. You can see it clearly by sitting by the window. In the lobby on the first floor, there are several stalls, some of which are for flower sticks, some are pitchers, and there are one that holds stone locks.

The door on the first floor is open, and there are special people at the door to beckon pedestrians on the road to come in and have a handful of fun, and those who win will be rewarded.
