The Queen Mother took them into the house, and then immediately a palace maid served tea.

Looking at the two of them, the Queen Mother said with a slight surprise: "The emperor came to write and said that it was the prince and the second lady of the Guogong Mansion who came to pick up the mourning family back to the palace this time, why did you come first?" ”

Li Zeyi raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Grandson and Zhuohua are recuperating in Jiangnan, and Ben is also going to return to Beijing a year ago. ”

"How's your body?" The Queen Mother showed a little worry in her eyes when she heard this, and then looked at Lin Zhuohua and said, "What about you, I heard your grandmother say that you started to be afraid of cold after falling into the water last time, and it is warm and suitable for recuperation in Jiangnan." ”

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips: "Well, it's okay anymore, Empress Dowager Xie cares." ”

The Queen Mother patted her hand lovingly, and said lovingly: "You are also a child I watched grow up, and you can rest assured that you can mourn your family well." ”

Lin Zhuohua knew what the Queen Mother was talking about, she nodded and said, "The matter has passed, and Zhuohua has not taken this matter to heart. ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything more, just turned her eyes around the two of them, and then said with a smile: "You two look good." ”

Lin Zhuohua's cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Li Zeyi saw that the little girl was a little shy, and hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson's body has improved a lot, is this thanks to Zhuohua, she has been conditioning her grandson's body." ”

The Queen Mother knew some news about going to Beijing, and naturally knew that Lin Zhuohua worshipped Doctor Ning as a teacher. No wonder the emperor does not object to Zhuohua being with Yi'er, at least the two of them are together, and Yi'er's body can gradually get better.

"You have been on the road for a few days, so go down and rest first. I asked Mama Yin to arrange a place for you to live, and we'll talk again tomorrow. ”

Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi both got up and saluted and left with Mama Yin, Lin Zhuohua's residence was next to the Queen Mother, and Li Zeyi was arranged to a place specially prepared for male guests. It's just because of his identity, and it's also a small yard where he lives alone, so he won't bother leisurely.

After a day of rest, Lin Zhuohua got up and was called over by the Queen Mother's people as soon as he finished washing, and accompanied the Queen Mother to breakfast. When she arrived, Li Zeyi was already sitting at the table.

The Queen Mother watched her come in and immediately asked her to sit beside her and let the queen have breakfast served.

The three of them had breakfast, and the Queen Mother was going to attend the morning class. Lin Zhuohua had nothing to do anyway, so he accompanied the Queen Mother to listen to the morning class.

Li Zeyi also wanted to go, but Sui Feng appeared to report something, so he left with the wind.

The queen mother's morning class was given by the host alone, and when she saw Lin Zhuohua, the host was slightly stunned.

The Queen Mother looked at the host, thinking that he had seen one more person, so she said: "This is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, who is here to accompany the mourning family, and the host can just give a morning class as usual." ”

The host retracted his gaze and nodded: "Yes." ”

Listening to the host's morning class, Lin Zhuohua thought that he was sleepy, but he didn't expect that the host spoke very well and would not make people feel sleepy. After listening to it, she felt a sense of peace.

After the morning class, the Queen Mother asked Lin Zhuohua to go back first, and she still had some things to ask the host alone.

Lin Zhuohua nodded and got up to leave.

After Lin Zhuohua left, the Queen Mother looked at the host and asked, "The host has been looking at the little girl, but what's the problem?" ”

"No, there's something strange about that little girl's life. The fate is sinister, but there was a twist not long ago, and the fate after that is unspeakably expensive, but the ending is covered with a layer of fog that makes it difficult to see, which is really strange. ”

When the Queen Mother heard that it was unspeakably expensive, she raised her eyebrows. Then he returned to normal, and then said, "What about her marriage?" ”

"The red luan star moves, and the marriage is happy. And she has the life of a prosperous husband, and her future husband will only be as good as possible. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded to the host, didn't ask anything more, and turned to leave.

Lin Zhuohua didn't go far, and when the Queen Mother came out, she saw her waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and then she took Mama Yin's hand and walked over.

"Why didn't you go back, the weather here is still quite hot, you stand under this sun and be careful of heat stroke."

Lin Zhuohua is afraid of cold, but not afraid of heat. She showed a bright smile and said softly: "Zhuohua came with the Queen Mother, so naturally she will go back with the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and reached out for her hand on the other side for her to hold.

Back in the courtyard where the Queen Mother lived, Lin Zhuohua chatted with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked them a lot about these days. The two chatted happily, and when Li Zeyi came, he happened to see the Queen Mother smiling very happily.

"What's the matter with the imperial grandmother, smiling so happily?"

Seeing Li Zeyi coming, the smile in the queen mother's eyes became thicker and thicker.

"Zhuohua's little girl's mouth is like honey, and I don't know how much honey she has eaten."

Lin Zhuohua smiled: "What Zhuohua said is the truth, senior brother, do you think the Queen Mother looks very young and stands with me as if she were a sister." ”

It's a bit exaggerated to get up, but Li Zeyi won't tear down his little girl's stage.

"Well, the imperial grandmother looks very young."

"Alright, don't coax the mourning family to be happy."

Lin Zhuohua's eyes rolled, and she took out her newly made skin cream from the small pocket she was carrying.

"This is my own skin cream, do you want to try it? There is also this jade skin pill, one for internal use and one for external use, to keep your skin better and better. ”

The Queen Mother is very well maintained, and she doesn't look like a person her age at all. If he used these, Lin Zhuohua felt that he would look younger.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and the Queen Mother naturally likes it too, she opened the box, and the milky white creamy paste inside exuded a faint fragrance. Just the taste, I like it very much.

"The old slave is waiting for the Queen Mother to wash?"

Mama Yin has served the Queen Mother all her life, so she naturally knows the Queen Mother's thoughts, and immediately speaks.

Seeing the Queen Mother nodding, Lin Zhuohua immediately spoke: "Mama Yin, let me come."

Saying that, she helped the Queen Mother into the inner room, and Mama Yin saw that the Queen Mother did not object, so she gave up her position, and then ordered someone to fetch water.

Lin Zhuohua waited for the Queen Mother to wash, and then helped her sit down in front of the dresser.

She gave the Jade Muscle Pill to the Queen Mother, and then began to groom the Queen Mother. After applying the skin cream, the Queen Mother felt that her face was moisturized and very comfortable. The makeup on the back turns out to look very long and natural.

She looked at herself in the mirror, who seemed to be several years younger, and was slightly stunned.

Lin Zhuohua had already helped her comb her hair bun at this time, and then was choosing jewelry in the jewelry box. After all, it was in the temple to pray for blessings, Lin Zhuohua picked out a few simple vermilion hairpins and inserted them in a bun.

Then he chose a set of plain clothes and put them on for the Queen Mother.

After finishing everything, she helped the Queen Mother to the mirror, and asked with a smile, "Is the Queen Mother satisfied?" ”

In the mirror, the Queen Mother is wearing a plain long skirt embroidered with dark patterns, looking much younger but dignified and noble.

The Queen Mother was a little stunned, she never thought that she could look so good in such plain clothes.

Lin Zhuohua sighed in his heart, the Queen Mother is worthy of being the first beauty at the beginning, even at this age, her face can still fight.

"Satisfied, satisfied. I didn't expect you to have such a craft as a little girl, and the mourning family can't wait to let you be by your side. ”

She said with some regret, if she detained people by her side, this little girl's grandmother would definitely have a trouble with her. Thinking of this close friend who grew up together, the Queen Mother looked at Lin Zhuohua's eyes more and more lovingly.

Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this: "How does Zhuohua's craftsmanship compare with the people around you, it's just that this skin cream is the base and makes the makeup more compliant." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she glanced at the skin cream on the table: "This thing is good." ”

Lin Zhuohua left the things for the Queen Mother, and then promised to let people pick them up when they were gone, and she provided them for free.

The Queen Mother is the best spokesperson, that is, a living signboard.

The days of living in the temple passed very quickly, and it was rare for Lin Zhuohua to relax the whole person, probably because in the temple, she followed the queen mother to listen to the morning class every day, and her mood became more and more peaceful.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhuohua was called by the Queen Mother, and at this time, the Queen Mother was already sitting at the table with breakfast on it, but she did not see Li Zeyi.

"Yi'er went out in advance in the morning and will come back in the evening."

The Queen Mother asked Lin Zhuohua to sit beside her, and then began to eat breakfast with chopsticks.

After breakfast, the Queen Mother spoke: "The people who came to pick up the mourning family will arrive today, you go back early to clean up, and tomorrow we will leave to go back to Beijing." ”

Lin Zhuohua was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that it would take about half a month to travel from Shangjing to here, and they would not arrive today.

"Okay." She nodded obediently.

The Queen Mother asked Mama Yin to bring a box, and then handed it to Lin Zhuohua.

"This is given to you by the mourning family, and you are not allowed to refuse."

Although Lin Zhuohua didn't know what was inside, just looking at the box was worth a lot of money. She wanted to refuse, but when she looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, she could only swallow back the words of refusal.

These days, she accompanies the Queen Mother to eat, and every time she quietly mixes spiritual spring water into the water she drinks. The Queen Mother's health is better than in the previous life, and she thinks that even if she is frightened by the assassination, she will not get worse and worse when she returns to the palace.

Back in his yard, Lin Zhuohua asked Bai Yuhongzhu and them to pack up their things. He sat on a low couch with one hand on his chin.

Thinking of seeing the prince and Lin Youran today, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. She remembered that in the previous life, the emperor personally came to pick up the queen mother back to the palace, and was assassinated halfway.

The target of this assassin is the emperor, and the queen mother is just implicated. The emperor was furious and let people investigate. Then all the evidence pointed to King Lu, who was usually like an invisible man, and then King Lu was stabbed to death, and his family was not involved in it but was exiled, never able to return to Beijing.

But Lin Zhuohua knew that King Lu was actually the one who secretly supported King Yi. But whether these were designed by the prince or not, she really didn't know, she knew that she had also heard this from the prince by accident again.

Her thoughts gradually drifted away, and she didn't even notice that Li Zeyi was sitting down opposite her.

"What are you thinking, so distracted?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhuohua retracted his thoughts, raised his head to look at him, and said in surprise: "Didn't you go out for something and come back at night?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's been taken care of."

mentioned this, Li Zeyi was angry. He also thought it was something big in a hurry, but it turned out to be some trivial things, and he had to come forward to solve it.

But of course he wouldn't tell the little girl about this, he still had to maintain a tall image.

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, will I accompany you to the back mountain today?"

I heard that the scenery behind this temple is very beautiful, Lin Zhuohua has always wanted to go, but Li Zeyi always has something to go out, and she is unwilling to go alone, now that he has time to accompany him, she naturally will not refuse.

"Okay."

When the team of the prince and Lin Youran arrived at the temple, Li Zeyi was sitting in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain with the little girl eating snacks and enjoying the scenery.

Look at the magnificent waterfall in front of you, and the butterflies fluttering from time to time in the flowers on one side. The air is filled with a faint humidity, warm and comfortable.

"I didn't expect such a good view here, it's quite suitable for seclusion."

Lin Zhuohua couldn't help but sigh, she actually hoped that she could find a place like a paradise in this life to escape from the world with her family and beloved.

Li Zeyi's eyes flashed when he heard her words.

"You like that kind of life?"

Lin Zhuohua was silent for a moment when she heard this, and she just said that. She knew that Li Zeyi wanted to compete for that position, and once she sat in that position, it would naturally be impossible to find a hope.

"It's okay, it's not too early, let's go back?"

The mountain air is humid, with occasional winds blowing with a hint of coolness. She rubbed her nose and sneezed.

Li Zeyi saw that she was a little cold, so he immediately got up and pulled her back.

When I returned to the temple, I saw the Imperial Guards guarding the outside. When I saw them, I saluted and let them go.

There is no one in Shangjing who doesn't know King Yi, but they are a little strange, shouldn't King Yi be recuperating in Jiangnan at this time? How did it end up here?

Even though there are some doubts in their hearts, this is not something that these little people should care about.

When Lin Zhuohua came back, she picked a lot of medicinal herbs and rare flowers in the mountains, of course, some of them she transplanted to the medicine house when Li Zeyi didn't pay attention. With the improvement of her mental power, she can now move things to the medicine mansion with a consciousness. What started out as something small could now move an entire tree into it, and she believed that it would get bigger and bigger in the future.

She came back all the way, and it can be said that she has gained a lot.

returned to his courtyard, changed his clothes, and followed Li Zeyi to the queen mother's courtyard.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard Lin Youran's voice coming from inside.

"The Queen Mother looks so good, she looks like she is several years younger." Her voice is soft, her eyes are moist and clear, and the corners of her mouth are raised in just the right curvature, not flattering or humble.

The Queen Mother looked at her and sighed in her heart, this Lin Guogong Mansion really knows how to raise girls, and a concubine can teach so well.

Originally, she was still a little worried, it was not too good for the prince to ask to marry a concubine, but now she looks like a thoughtful one. Even if she didn't like Lin Youran very much in her heart to snatch her sister's marriage, she had to admit in her heart that Lin Youran was more suitable for the prince.

Zhuohua's temperament is actually not very suitable for being a princess. She told the old Duchess about it. Now that Zhuohua can dissolve this marriage contract, she looks at Tong Yi'er more appropriately.

The Queen Mother had a gentle smile on her face, but if you looked closely, you could find that the smile was like a formula, completely different from the smile at Lin Zhuohua.

"Take the reward prepared by the mourning family for the future crown princess."

Mama Yin immediately walked into the inner room, and then came out with the box in her hand, and she sent the things to Lin Youran's hands.

Lin Youran took it, pressed the excitement in his heart, but his face was still calm: "Thank you leisurely for the reward of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother gave something to express her recognition. The heart she was carrying was put down, as long as the Queen Mother didn't dislike her.

She also took out the incense she had configured and handed it to Mama Yin: "This is the incense that the courtiers have mixed by themselves, which can make people feel relaxed, I hope the Queen Mother likes it." ”

Mama Yin saw the Queen Mother nodding, so she stepped forward to take it.

The prince stood aside, very satisfied with Lin Youran's performance. At this time, there was also a warm smile on his face, and he said softly: "Grandmother Huang rested early today, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." My father knows that you are going back, but he is very happy, and he has been missing you all this time. ”

Speaking of the emperor, the queen mother's eyes flashed with love: "How is your father's health?" ”

"Father, everything is well."

The crown prince was talking with the queen mother, and most of what he said was about his father, and sure enough, there were more and more smiles on the queen mother's face.

Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi walked in, and the prince looked up and saw them, and he was slightly stunned.

"Why are King Yi and Lord Ronghua here?"

Lin Zhuohua and Li Zeyi first greeted the Queen Mother, and then symbolically blessed the prince.

"I was just about to go back to Beijing, and I came to visit the imperial grandmother when I passed by here."

After Li Zeyi finished speaking, he pulled Lin Zhuohua to sit aside.

The prince didn't say anything when he heard this, after all, he had already passed by here, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't come to visit the queen mother.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to see that the atmosphere between the two was not right, she looked at Lin Zhuohua lovingly and said, "How is it, the scenery of the back mountain is good, right?" ”

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "Well, it's very beautiful, Zhuohua can't wait to live here and not leave." ”

"Haha, you can't stay and not leave, your grandmother knows, and you can't fight with the mourning family." The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood, she said with a smile. Then he looked at a few people and pondered for a moment: "You all go down and rest, and you have to get up early tomorrow to leave." ”

The Queen Mother was also a little tired, and the others naturally saw it, and everyone got up to leave.

Early the next morning, the group left for breakfast at the temple.

Lin Zhuohua was asked by the Queen Mother to get into her carriage and let her chat with her to relieve her boredom. This just fits her mind, I don't know if there will be assassinations in this life, if there is, she can also protect the Queen Mother from being injured and frightened.
