Mama Fang exited the inner hall and walked to the outer hall, where there was a person standing under the stone steps.

He was slender, white-skinned, and in his fifties, with a clean countenance. If it weren't for the eunuch uniform on his body, that kind of bearing, he would go out and say that he was a famous minister of the court, and some people would believe it.

"Wan Meng, the Queen Mother said that she didn't want to see you, so let you guard the palace and wait for her to come back to marry the princess."

Mama Fang said with a smile, very happy to see Wan Meng's dusty face, with a helpless look. It's like the old man in an ordinary official's family, frowning at something difficult.

"The Queen Mother is old, and she still doesn't stop. What if something happens to this long journey, I'm not allowed to go with me! ”

Mama Fang walked out side by side with him, and said with a smile: "With me along the way, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts." How about I bring my head to see if there is one hair missing? ”

"Who cares about your head? When will she not lose her hair when she is old? I thought she was a regent when she was young, and she was out of line enough, but I didn't expect to be sixty years old, and she still wanted to play in the mountains and rivers. ”

Grandpa Wan's helpless words made Mama Fang laugh.

"Wan Meng, the Queen Mother has always said that you have taken the wrong word for Meng, and you should be called Wan Weak. If you are in the mood to say something and have not, it is better to help the Queen Mother take care of this palace. When the crown princess, the prince Liangdi and the concubines all entered the palace, the palace was lively again. ”

Grandpa Wan let out a soft "um", and Mama Fang asked again: "Then Ye Thirteen, what do you think, it's okay to be Qingluan, right?" ”

"No problem, that kid's heart is in the princess, and the princess has the grace to save his life and regenerate, and he will be loyal to death."

Father-in-law Wan spoke highly of Ye Shisan, and Mama Fang was silent for a long time before she said, "It's the same as you." ”

"No, he doesn't have a family background that has been raided and exterminated, and he is still a healthy person who can marry and have children. With his talent, it is not impossible to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister. ”

Mama Fang stopped and asked softly, "What, do you regret it?" If you had changed your name and surname, you might have done the same. ”

"No, I only regret that I entered the palace too late and didn't protect the Eighth Prince."

After speaking, Gonggong Wan and Mama Fang were silent at the same time. After being silent for a long time, it was Mama Fang who broke the deadlock and asked, "Then the affairs in the palace will be handed over to you." ”

"Well, I have already sent a letter to Ye Shisan, asking him to tie up Gao Yu's old puppet no matter what. I'm relieved to have him here. ”

Mama Fang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "He is just a ghost?" ”

"He is worried, and he still wants to return to his roots, and if he doesn't serve the Queen Mother well, I will dig up his ancestral grave!"

Mama Fang smiled happily: "In this way, there is no need for the doctor in the palace." ”

"Bring two with you, it's just a mouthful of food. There are more people, if you don't serve the Queen Mother, there will always be three illnesses and two pains in the maid guards. ”

Grandpa Wan was very thoughtful, Mama Fang nodded, signaling that she knew, and they had already come to the door.

Mama Fang watched Gonggong Wan drift away, still with a straight back, and her eyes were a little moist. In the blink of an eye, everyone is old.

In this life, that's it.

Early the next morning, as soon as the emperor came down to the court, he came to Cining Palace to ask for peace.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a round table in the hall, which was stacked with some of my favorite food, and I hesitated for a while.

"Emperor, come in, what are you doing at the door?"

Emperor Hong Zheng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, isn't this afraid of your Hongmen banquet?" ”

"What a Hongmen banquet, this is prepared for you by the mourning family himself."

As soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Emperor Hong Zhengdi with a suspicious look and corrected: "Don't look at the mourning family with this kind of eyes, the mourning family saw them prepare it with their own hands." However, this shallots mixed with tofu is mixed by the mourning family. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was not polite, sat down with rhino horn chopsticks, and sandwiched a chopstick of tofu.

I put it in my mouth and tasted it, nodded and said, "I believe that it was indeed mixed by the Queen Mother, and the vinegar is still a bit much." ”

"Emperor, your wings are stiff, aren't they? Dare to dislike it! ”

Emperor Hong Zheng saw that Empress Dowager Zhong had also tasted chopsticks, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "I am not lying, Empress Dowager, just say what you have to say." In this battle, I am a little weak-hearted. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's expression collapsed, not as graceful and luxurious as usual, and she smiled a little flatteringly: "Emperor, the mourning family wants to go out for a walk." ”

"The Queen Mother can leave if she wants, where to go? I came to arrange it, is it Hui'an Temple? Or Maitreya Temple? You wouldn't want to go to Wan'an Temple, would you? It can take three days to go back and forth. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng guessed a few temples, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhong but smiled silently, and looked at the expression, it seemed that he was still a little weak-hearted.

Suddenly I thought of a place, and I couldn't help but gasp.

Surprised: "Queen Mother, you don't want to go to Tangshan, do you?" That's at least ten days to go back and forth? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong waved her hand, and as soon as Emperor Hong Zheng put his heart at ease, he heard Empress Dowager Zhong say quietly: "The mourning family doesn't go to Tangshan, the mourning family wants to go to Jiangning." ”

"Jiang Ning?"

Emperor Hong Zhengdi's face changed, with a hallucinatory look, he stiffly turned his head and asked the princess: "Wang Ning, where did the Queen Mother say she wanted to go just now?" ”

The prince was also shocked, but he still replied: "Your Majesty, it's Jiang Ning." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng held his head with a little headache, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhong with hope: "Empress Dowager, are you joking with me?" ”

"Although the mourning family is not a golden mouth, they will not believe it? Right! The mourning family wants to go to Jiangning, which is the maiden home of the mourning mother, and the mourning family wants to go back for the mother to see, which can be regarded as returning home. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong's tone was very calm, it really didn't look like a joke, and Emperor Hong Zheng even began to throb in his forehead.

"Queen Mother, you are already sixty years old, this long journey?"

"What's wrong with sixty? Didn't you say that the mourning family Chitose Chitose Chitose? Are you afraid that your mourning family will die outside, and others will poke you in the back, right? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong lowered her face, and Emperor Hong Zheng could only kneel down and plead guilty: "Empress Dowager, I didn't mean that, I was just worried about your safety." ”

"Hurry up, you don't have to worry about this, the mourning family is accompanied by Mingzhu, and they also brought two accompanying imperial doctors, and you can send some guards from the Imperial Forest Army." This road is an official road, and the mourning family is going to visit the mountains and rivers, what is the danger? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong said it rightly, and Emperor Hong Zheng could only smile bitterly.

The Queen Mother is on patrol, who will come to assassinate and find death? I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is already old, in case there are three long and two short, wouldn't it be beyond the reach of the whip?

"Queen Mother, think again."

Empress Dowager Zhong slapped the table, her phoenix eyes were angry, and she said unhappily: "What are you thinking about?" The mourning family has had ups and downs for most of their lives, and they have not lived a few years of peace. Now that the mourning family is old, this one wish is not fulfilled, do you want to stop it? ”

These words were extremely serious, and Emperor Hong Zheng just stood up and knelt down again.

"Queen Mother, I'm not trying to stop it, I'm really just worried. This Jiangning is too far away, it will be a year and a half to come and go, if you want to see your grandmother's family, I will recruit them into Beijing. ”
