Emperor Wuding returned safely, and after the Empress Dowager An learned that Emperor Wuding had returned, she was very happy and came to visit her as soon as possible.

"My son is finally back, and I'm going to worry about this palace." Empress Dowager An looked at Emperor Wuding with tears in her eyes.

"What does the Queen Mother say about these falsehoods? When I was a child, my son was sent by my father to live alone, and I didn't see any signs of worry. Emperor Wuding sat on his chair and looked extremely tired.

"Look at what you said! What is your father's temper? Does he listen to me? Besides, that's different, it's to exercise your ability to be independent, but this time you're on patrol. Running all the way on the road, shouldn't I be worried? Empress Dowager An said.

"Queen Mother, the sons and daughters said casually, don't take it too seriously." Emperor Wuding rubbed his temples and said.

"Ding'er, look at your crumpled clothes, it's like escaping. Let the queen let the tailor make you a few new outfits! Empress Dowager An looked Emperor Wuding up and down, looked at the clothes on Emperor Wuding and said, and then arranged for the maids around her to call the head of the tailoring warehouse. The head of the tailoring warehouse carefully measured the size of Emperor Wuding, and planned to make twenty sets of new clothes for Emperor Wuding in one go, five sets each in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"Queen Mother, the woman is in Jiaohua Palace, she has suffered a lot along the way, you can ask the head of the tailoring warehouse to add a few new sets of clothes for her! By the way, Xiao Gezi, the coachman, Qiu Yue, and Tang Yi were each rewarded with a new set of clothes. Emperor Wuding said, Empress Dowager An nodded, and asked who Tang Yi was? Why have you never heard of this person, is it a new maid?

"Tang Yi is the concubine of Erchen on the road." Wu Ding confessed.

"Nonsense! Your micro-service patrol this time is to observe the people's feelings. How can you take a concubine? Empress Dowager An was a little displeased.

"Queen Mother, everyone has come in, and the sons have already accepted it, can the water still be recovered?" Emperor Wuding looked at the Empress Dowager An and said, but the Empress Dowager An didn't say anything more, but said that she wanted to go to Jiaohua Palace to see the woman, and asked the head of the tailoring library to follow.

"Son-in-law, please give peace to the queen mother!" As soon as the woman saw the Empress Dowager, she saluted.

"Don't be polite, you have worked the road this time, this palace specially asked the head of the tailoring library to measure your size, two sets of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, a total of eight sets. Is it enough? Empress Dowager An asked.

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Enough is enough! The woman replied, and the manager of the tailoring warehouse hurriedly stepped forward to measure the woman's size......

"Good woman! You've lost a lot of weight on this tour. Empress Dowager An looked at the woman and said distressedly.

"Really? It may be because the carriage was bumpy all the way on the road. The woman said.

"Alright! It's good to come back safely. After measuring the size, you go with the palace to the Cixin Palace to talk about divination. What do you think? Empress Dowager An asked.

"No!" The woman replied, "How dare you disobey your mother's command."

The woman followed her mother to the Cixin Palace, the Cixin Palace is spacious and bright, and the smoke rises inside, exuding a faint fragrance, the Empress Dowager An has not slept well recently, and there are some small obstacles, so it is necessary to smoke incense in the palace.

"What does the queen mother need her sons to do for you?" The woman asked cautiously.

"A parrot that has been raised in this palace for a long time is gone, I don't know where it flew, whether it is still alive now, can it fly back again?" Empress Dowager An said anxiously.

"The queen mother is just a parrot, why do you bother about it, and your shape is withered?" As she spoke, she sprinkled a handful of turtle shells on the ground, and the turtle shells fell to the ground. "Judging from the appearance, the parrot you mentioned is still alive, but it doesn't want to come back, 'after a long time in the cage, it can return to nature'. After finally returning to the nature that belongs to it, how can it return to the world like a cage? The woman said.

"In this way, it dislikes that the palace is not free here, and flies to the place where it wants to fly," Empress Dowager An asked, looking in a trance. The woman looked at her and nodded earnestly.

"Alright! I see, thank you, good woman. You can go back to Jiaohua Palace to rest. Empress Dowager An was a little tired, sitting at the table with her head supported by her hands, her eyes slightly closed.

"Son's farewell." And the woman withdrew.

Bei Yin Cuicui learned that Emperor Wuding only brought a woman with him on patrol, and she was jealous, and her heart was itching with hatred. Emperor Wuding favored the woman alone, and other concubines could not compare with her, so Beiyin Cuicui regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Just as she was sitting by the pond in the palace and watching the fish playing happily in the water, in stark contrast to her sullen at this time, she felt even more angry.

"Niangniang, it's windy outside, beware of catching a cold, let's go back!" Zhi'er persuaded from the side. Bei Yin Cuicui ignored her at all, and it just so happened that the woman Hao came out of her Cixin Palace and beat her by the side, and the woman had also heard of Bei Yin Cuicui's femme fatale, but there was no evidence. The two looked at each other, Bei Yin Cuicui's eyes seemed to be filled with jealousy, but the woman's eyes were full of vigilance. Zhi'er watched from the sidelines, stunned, and the scene was very embarrassing and cold. The woman walked over, but Bei Yin Cuicui was a thief, flustered, and said to Zhi'er: "Go!" Let's go back! ”

Back in the dormitory, Bei Yin Cuicui sat still, as if her mind was seen through by others, and in the eyes of the woman, it seemed that she was naked. She warned herself that she had to be more restrained in her future actions, otherwise she might not be able to gain a foothold in the palace.

"Niangniang, please drink Gyokuro tea." Zhi'er brought a cup of tea and frightened the master, Bei Yin Cuicui spit it out after taking a sip, and muttered in her mouth: "What kind of tea is this?" What a bad smell! Then he spilled the rest of the tea out the door.

"Maybe the mother is not in a good mood, and I feel bad when I drink this jade dew tea!" Zhi'er whispered.

"King Wuding has arrived!" The guards outside the door reported that Concubine Cui panicked, she didn't expect that Emperor Wuding would come back to visit her, and there was a hint of joy and surprise in her heart. She hurriedly straightened her temples in front of the bronze mirror. King Wuding walked straight over, but stepped on the tea water and almost fell.

"Beware, King!" Cui Fei hurriedly shouted.

"Why is there so much water on the ground?" Emperor Wuding almost fell, and he was a little annoyed.

"Please forgive the king, this is when the concubine was standing at the door drinking tea, she accidentally spilled the tea." Concubine Cui hurriedly bowed and pleaded guilty.

"How is Concubine Cui recently?" Emperor Wuding helped her up and asked with concern.

"King Xie cares, everything is safe and sound." Cui Fei said.

"I heard that during my time on patrol, my cousin Sisi came, and I heard that she lives with you and is accompanied by you. Did she say anything important about entering the palace this time? Emperor Wuding asked.

"She doesn't have anything particularly important, just come into the palace to visit." Concubine Cui replied, "But according to Ren Sisi, your uncle often misses you, his nephew of Wuding. Beiyin Cuicui also met Ren Sisi by chance in the palace, and it was she who invited Ren Sisi to live with her, after all, she wanted to win people's hearts and please King Wuding's cousin.

"Oh, I see." Emperor Wuding got up and wanted to leave.

"The king is not staying here today?" Concubine Cui asked anxiously.

"Lone left the palace this time to take care of political affairs, and there are still piles of bones on the long table of the Qilin Hall that need to be checked by Lone." After Emperor Wuding finished speaking, he left, although those bones have been taken care of by the minister, but he must look at it and know it in his heart. Concubine Cui looked at the back of Emperor Wuding, her heart was a little desolate, she felt as if she was living in a cold palace, and it seemed like cold rain was blowing in front of her.
