After listening to the emperor's words, Qi Mo probably understood in his heart.

The emperor's intention is that he will not move the king of northern Ji, and now he still has to keep an eye on the situation in Jizhou Mansion.

Qi Mo continued: "The emperor is thoughtful, the queen mother has not been easy these years, and it is not easy to be able to live for a long time, so naturally I don't want to see the final scene." When the younger brother returns to Jizhou Mansion, he must keep an eye on the movements of the king of northern Hebei, and if there is any news, he will immediately return to the palace and report to the emperor. ”

Although Qi Mo is also the emperor's younger brother, he is not a biological mother after all, and everyone who is the queen mother is the emperor's courtier, and being a younger brother is naturally no exception.

No matter what decision the emperor makes, the courtiers can only follow.

Qi Mo comforted the emperor, but also agreed, and finally showed his attitude.

"Of course, I know that you haven't been back to the palace for a long time, and although the matter is urgent, I am not unkind. Give you a few days, rest a few more days in the mansion, and it's not too late to go to the Jizhou Mansion again,"

The emperor thought that the two had not returned to the capital for a long time, and that they had been dusty and hard along the way, so he forgave them, and asked them to stay for a few more days.

It was rare to see the emperor's extraordinary kindness, Qi Mo and Liu Liang hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Then again, eighth brother, you haven't come back for a long time, but the Queen Mother has also talked about you several times."

When Qi Mo was a child, because his biological mother went early, he and the emperor and the brothers were quite good among the princes, so sometimes the emperor went to the queen mother to sit down, and the mother and son occasionally mentioned Qi Mo when they talked.

"Yes, Qi Mo is guilty, but it makes the Queen Mother worry about it. The younger brother thanked the Queen Mother for thinking about it, and let the Queen Mother bother. The younger brother is not filial. "The Queen Mother said to herself, she must be grateful.

"Hey, what are you talking about! It is understandable that the Queen Mother is worried about you, when I was a child, I still remember that our brothers used to play together, and your mouth was like smeared honey, and you often coaxed the queen mother to smile, in the end it was more pleasing than my own son. Ha ha. The emperor obviously didn't want to talk about the king of Jibei anymore, and the two talked about it.

even joked about Qi Mo.

The emperor smiled heartily, and Qi Mo smiled embarrassedly, "The imperial brother said that he laughed, thanks to the love of the queen mother, the younger brother dared to be cheeky in front of the queen mother to please the queen mother." Where is the joy of the royal brother, the imperial brother will not make fun of the younger brother. ”

"That's it, since you have entered the palace today, it is better to stay in the palace and have lunch before going back to your palace. I happened to go with me to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is now afraid of the cold all day long, and she doesn't come out and walk around much, just see if you can persuade the Queen Mother and her old man! ”

"Since the royal brother has spoken, the younger brother is better than obeying his fate. Although the younger brother is not in the capital, he has always been worried about the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's body. Qi Mo said respectfully.

"The sky is very good, the sun in this early spring is very wonderful, I won't sit in a soft sedan car today, you can accompany me for a walk." The sunlight outside is just sprinkled on the palace road, shining on the people warmly, and it happens to be accompanied by Qi Mo, it is rare for the emperor not to sit in a soft sedan chair.

"Yes, my brother obeys."

"Ouch, Your Majesty, you have to put this mink on. Don't see the sun, it's still in the tail of winter, you can watch out for the dragon body, turn around and you are windy, and the queen mother will blame the minions again. Gonggong Gui saw that the emperor was about to step out wearing only his regular clothes, and hurriedly took a thick cloak and draped it on the emperor's body.

"Swing, Shoukang Palace!" The momentum of the royal travel guard is indispensable.

The group came to the palace of the queen mother, and the eunuch at the door saw that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly saluted the emperor, and quickly ran to report.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is here. There was also the eighth master who came together. The little eunuch who reported said to the Queen Mother.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the emperor had already walked in.

"The son took the eighth brother to see the queen mother." The emperor does not need to kneel down to salute the Queen Mother, but there is still a necessary bend. So the emperor made a light compilation.

Qi Mo can't do it. He knelt on the ground, saluted the Queen Mother, and kowtowed.

"Participate in the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." Qi Mo said loudly.

I saw the Queen Mother sitting there, her hands propped up on the table, and a small blanket on her legs because of the cold.

The Queen Mother is about 50 years old, and there are already clearly visible wrinkles on her face, but if she is properly maintained, although she is no longer young, her skin is still good, just a few wrinkles, her hair is still black and shiny, and she doesn't see a single white hair.

The Queen Mother used to be a noble daughter from a family, and her bearing around her body brought a great demeanor.

In the palace, after the battle between the open guns and hidden arrows of the concubines of the former emperor, and the current emperor ascending the throne, he naturally experienced a lot of things during this period.

So the Queen Mother has a vague and domineering taste in it.

Even if he is wearing a low-key and simple palace dress, his bearing should not be underestimated. has the majesty of the queen mother.

The emperor is busy with business on weekdays, and he can't fix the province every morning and dusk at a fixed time, and even accompany the queen mother to dinner.

It's rare for the emperor to come to see him today, how can a mother not be excited.

Seeing that the emperor also brought Qi Mo, the Queen Mother looked at the bottom of her heart with joy, and before she could make a sound, the smile had already climbed up her cheeks.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Good boy, you're back. "The Queen Mother still likes Qi Mo very much, and Qi Mo is still very pleasing when she is flamboyant.

"Hurry up, come to the mourning family, the mourning family hasn't seen you for a long time. When the emperor came to sit here in mourning, he often mentioned your hard work outside Beijing. When I saw it today, I really lost a lot of weight. The Queen Mother summoned Qi Mo to sit in front of her, and the smile really spread to the bottom of her eyes.

It's like a mother who has been waiting for her son for a long time.

"Yes. The Queen Mother is worried, Qi Mo is outside, and she often thinks about the Queen Mother's body, but she is afraid that the people around her will not serve the Queen Mother well. Qi Mo got up, stepped forward and sat down beside the Queen Mother.

"Look, eighth brother, I said early in the morning, when you come back, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, there will be no me. I'm not wrong, you still don't admit it, now you can see for yourself, whether I said anything wrong. ”

The emperor put on a jealous look, a middle-aged man, suddenly like a jealous child, which provoked the queen mother to cover her mouth and laugh.

"What the emperor said is true, you are in front of the mourning family every day, when the mourning family is cold and hot, the mourning family did not let the people around you take care of you, and finally your eighth brother came back, and he still ate this vinegar with the eighth brother. You, you, you. It's really a child. The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said with a smile.

"I'm going to disturb the Queen Mother, but today Qi Mo has to be cheeky and have lunch here at the Queen Mother. The imperial brother left Qi Mo to eat here today, but Qi Mo didn't care, saying that he would have to eat here at the Queen Mother today. Qi Mo deliberately coquettishly played to the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother laugh even more.

"Hey, you debt collectors, you were like this when you were young, and you are still like this when you grow up. That's it, the queen mother is usually lonely here, everyone is here today, so that the queen mother is also happy, today is the queen mother's meal, talk to the queen mother! ”

"Huh! Be! Talking to the Queen Mother, Qi Mo is duty-bound! "Deliberately making a serious appearance suddenly, I can't help but be more and more funny.

The three of them had lunch in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, and after the meal, they accompanied the Queen Mother to talk, the emperor and the Queen Mother had to take a lunch break, the emperor went back to the Yangxin Palace, nothing happened, the emperor allowed himself to go back to the palace.

So they came out of the Queen Mother's palace, and Qi Mo and Liu Liang returned to the palace.

At noon, the Queen Mother was in a rare mood, and the three of them also had a few drinks.

After Qi Mo returned to the palace, he instructed Uncle Chen to go to sleep for a while, so no one would disturb him, so he also slept.

It's not that Qi Mo doesn't drink well, it's just that he rushed back overnight last night, slept late, got up early in the morning, and kept a nervous mood in the palace at all times, lifting the spirit of twelve points, so after returning to the palace, he only felt tired after relaxing.

Uncle Chen got the order, and when he saw the blue color of Qi Mo's eyes, he was also distressed, and when he heard Qi Mo say that he was going to rest, he hurriedly let him sleep. Dinner was naturally used after Qi Mo got up.

As soon as Qi Mo slept like this, he slept until the sun set, and Meimei slept on his bed, Qi Mo felt much more relaxed.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that there was already a little darkness outside the window, and Qi Mo called the little guy in.

"Go and prepare hot water, this king will bathe." woke up, Qi Mo also tossed a lot in the palace today.

If you take off your court clothes, you always have to take a bath before you can change into the regular clothes in the palace, but Qi Mo is a person with a habit of cleanliness, everything in the house is convenient, and naturally what to eat and wear is in accordance with the rules of the palace.

After taking a hot bath comfortably and changing into clean clothes, Qi Mo came to the main hall. Uncle Chen ordered dinner as early as when he knew that he Qi Mo was up.

So when Qi Mo came to the main hall, the meal had already been prepared, just waiting for Qi Mo to come and eat.

The affairs in the palace are almost done, and the tasks have been arranged.

Qi Mo planned to stay in the mansion for three days and then return to Jizhou Mansion.

Uncle Chen still stood respectfully at the table, and Qi Mo walked over and lifted his robe and sat down.

"Has Uncle Chen eaten? If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together. Qi Mo has always regarded Uncle Chen as an elder rather than a servant, and knows that Uncle Chen has always been focused on his own affairs, so seeing Uncle Chen standing here, Qi Mo asked.

"Eat it, eat it, eat it. It's been a while since the meal was ready. If you don't eat it, it's cold. ”

Qi Mo knows Uncle Chen too well, every time he says that he has eaten, he actually doesn't eat it, he just watches that he finishes eating first, and then he takes care of eating by himself. Qi Mo felt very sorry for Uncle Chen.

"Uncle Chen, sit down and use it together. Don't I know about you yet? Every time, he only cares about me, and only when he is done with a casual meal. There are no outsiders here in the main hall, so there is no need for so much courtesy between you and me. Besides, I can't eat all the dishes by myself, so let's sit down and eat them together. ”

"Someone!" Qi Mo shouted to the subordinates outside the door: "Fill another bowl of rice and add a pair of chopsticks!" ”

Qi Mo invited Uncle Chen repeatedly, but Uncle Chen didn't want to shirk too much.

He was better than obedient and sat down generously.

After sitting down, Qi Mo said to Uncle Chen: "Uncle Chen, you are your grandfather, and you are an old man who has accompanied me for many years, and you and I are different from others. I have always remembered the sincerity you have ever had with me. Between you and me, there is not so much false courtesy. ”
