Although the capital has only experienced a small upheaval, the lives of most people have not been affected.

Empress Jiang's death was also completely quiet, and everyone's conversation focused on the victory at Shanhaiguan, as well as the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, Princess Dali is about to enter Beijing.

On the occasion of the Wanshou Festival, Emperor Hong Zheng accepted the news that he had returned to the Jade Concubine, and the neighbors knew about it, and many small tribes also moved their minds.

In addition to Miaojiang and Dali, the princess of Goryeo is said to have also handed over the paperwork and will study and live in Dazhou for a period of time in the future. They are all drunkards who don't mean to drink, which naturally makes the people in the capital happy to see and look forward to it.

After the state banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Hong Zheng went to Cining Palace.

The most noble mother and son in the world, like ordinary people, sit together, eat dried fruits and snacks, and chatter about homely things.

"Emperor, eat less dried longan and get on fire."

"Only the Queen Mother will say this, okay, don't eat it, eat walnuts. This pine nut is also good, the Queen Mother tasted it? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong peeled out the pine nuts and crushed them in the middle of the white cloth, and the outer skin flew off one after another, revealing the full kernel. Empress Dowager Zhong twisted it up and tasted it a few bites, and thought it was pretty good.

"Emperor, why did you let Xiao Jiu go back today? There is no small one in the palace, and it is not lively at all. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is now opening a mansion alone, and it is not suitable to stay in the palace." It's okay to let him go back, it won't be long before Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu will come back, and Mingzhu will also come back, and the palace will naturally be lively. ”

"Yes, Mingzhu's girl is also back, this time it can scare the mourning family enough."

Speaking of Gu Fanghua, Empress Dowager Zhong chattered endlessly, and Emperor Hong Zheng listened with a smile, echoing a few words from time to time.

"Emperor, you see that after the beginning of the year, Zhu Zhu'er will be fourteen. The daughters of ordinary families began to look at each other, and some of them should be closed for embroidery dowry after they were married, and she still ran around in the wild. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "It seems that the Queen Mother is very satisfied with Xiao Yao?" ”

"Well, the mourning family looks at this child well, I heard that on the city tower, he also sacrificed his life to protect the pearl. It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, it is rare to have lovers, and they are also talented and beautiful. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was full of praise for Xiao Yao and was very satisfied with this future grandson-in-law.

Emperor Hong Zheng also agreed: "The Queen Mother and I have thought of one place. According to Xiao Jing's recitals during his lifetime, I let his eldest son Xiao Lei succeed him as Marquis of Weiyuan, and also gave Xiao Yao, the title of Marquis of Yingyi. is considering that he had a meritorious service in saving the driver last time, and he also made meritorious contributions to the heroic killing of the enemy this time, and he is Xiao Jing's only son-in-law. ”

"Then this Yingyi Marquis, how did the emperor seal the law?"

According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the marquis is divided into four classes, the first class marquis is hereditary, the second class marquis is ten generations, the third class marquis is three generations, and the fourth class marquis is only one generation.

Emperor Hong Zheng groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "If he looks at the merits of one person, three generations are suitable." If he can marry our pearl, he will give him a second-class marquis, and he will make some contributions in the future, and he will naturally be promoted to a first-class marquis in the future. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was already satisfied with the second-class marquis, and said with a smile: "The second-class marquis is already good, the mourning family is old, and she just wants to look at the present, and she can't manage it for too long." ”

Mama Fang came in with a plate of chestnuts with a smile, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, how many fried sugar chestnuts have you tasted?" ”

Emperor Hong Zheng also smelled the fragrance of fried chestnuts with sugar, and replied with a smile: "Mama Fang, let them peel a few to taste." I still remember that year when my grandmother secretly came to see me, hid the freshly fried chestnuts in the cuffs, and her hands were red. ”

When Mama Fang heard this, her face turned into a flower, and she said with a smile: "The emperor still remembers?" ”

"Of course you remember? The sweetness of the sugar-fried chestnuts can be remembered for a lifetime. Anyway, in the imperial dining room, the chestnuts could be fried and sent to the Queen Mother's palace? ”

Faced with the doubts of Emperor Hong Zheng, who had been late for many years, Mama Fang explained with a smile: "The chestnuts in the imperial dining room, can they be sent to our palace?" Back then, our palace was no different from the cold palace. ”

"Where did those hot chestnuts come from?"

"Back to the emperor, it was the queen mother and the slaves, as well as Wenchun who fried themselves on the charcoal basin. The slave maid and Wenchun were holding the pot alone, and the queen mother personally fried it, without a suitable spatula, and used a small flower hoe to plant flowers. ”

When Mama Fang thought of the past, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, and Empress Dowager Zhong also remembered those days, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Emperor Hong Zheng was moved in his heart, revealed his true feelings, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhong sincerely: "Empress Dowager, I once said that as long as I can rule the world one day." must support the Queen Mother with the power of the whole country, and the Queen Mother has done too much for me. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong waved her hand and said angrily: "Xiuchun, it's all the old things of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds in the past few decades, and you still use it to invite credit, don't be ashamed." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng peeled the chestnuts with his own hands and sent them over, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, your kindness to me will not be repaid in my life." Sister Liuyue and Gu Dian went too early, and Mingzhu is my own daughter. Or, taking advantage of Mingzhu's meritorious service this time, I will reward her as a princess when I come back? ”

"For the princess? She's a foreign surname, I'm afraid it's not very suitable, right? ”

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that Empress Dowager Zhong was moved, but he was a little hesitant, and hurriedly said: "I said that it is appropriate, and it is naturally suitable." She is the pearl of my palm, even if she wants to change her surname to Yan, she can also enter the jade. ”

Mrs. Zhong was overjoyed, thought for a while, and said: "Gu Dian is just this bit of blood, Gu Yanzhang's old stubbornness will definitely not do it." You don't need to change your surname to enter the jade, just treat the emperor as if he has no daughters under his knees, and just accept a niece as a daughter. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng also had this intention, and discussed: "Then is it still titled Princess Mingzhu?" ”

"Well, Mingzhu is good, just Princess Mingzhu. In this way, she can recruit horses in the future, and she is not afraid that after the mourning family leaves, she will be bullied at her in-law's house. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was very happy, and when she said that she was excited, she couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Hong Zheng's heart was also slightly sour, and he hurriedly relieved: "The Queen Mother is in good health, and she can naturally live a long life." I can also protect the pearl for a few more decades, no matter how bad it is, there is still Rong Ling them. ”

"It seems that the emperor has identified Rong Ling. Also, the child is honest and diligent, and the mourning family likes him. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's words were very pertinent, and naturally it was the voice that Emperor Hong Zheng wanted to hear the most.

"Queen Mother, you are the former Queen Mother Regent, so your vision is naturally different. Since you also think Rong Ling is good, then I am more confident. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng is now counting, just Yan Rongling and Yan Shaoxun, reluctantly plus Yan Qihuo, counting three sons, naturally expensive.

Empress Dowager Zhong smiled, took the red dates and wolfberry lotus seed soup and drank two sips.

Wiped the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Emperor Hong Zheng: "It's just that Rong Ling has not had a good time under Jiang Yue over the years, and the emperor should not grasp him too tightly and let him learn slowly." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Emperor Hong Zheng said thoughtfully: "Well, I know." Rong Ling is still young, so he has to learn slowly. ”
