Emperor Li rarely comes to Defu Palace, and the task of asking the Queen Mother for peace on weekdays is basically done by Queen Chen.

But today, he came on this ordinary day, and Empress Dowager Ye knew that it must be for Jiang Yue's matter.

Fortunately, her niece can't be wronged in vain, this matter is just taking this opportunity to theorize, although she is not the emperor's biological mother, but in the end she is also the queen mother, if her niece is bullied, no one will take her in her eyes in the future.

As he spoke, the people in the outer palace lifted the curtain of the door, and Emperor Tianhe strode in.

In the inner hall, the eunuch and palace maid knelt on the ground, the Empress Dowager Ye sat up straighter, and the Emperor Tianhe stood still in front of her, leaned over and bowed, and said plainly: "Jun Li greets the Queen Mother." ”

He only called the Queen Mother, but never called "Queen Mother", only reported his name, but never mentioned "son-in-law". Empress Dowager Ye understands that she is not the biological mother of Emperor Tianhe, and people can respect her as the queen mother, but it is impossible to recognize her as a mother.

"How can the emperor have time to come to the mourning family today?" Empress Dowager Ye asked knowingly, "But I haven't come for some days, and the last time the mourning family saw the emperor was in the New Year." ”

"I was busy with state affairs in the previous dynasty, and I really can't take care of the queen mother's side every day, I wonder if the queen can come over the next day to say goodbye?" Emperor Tianhe didn't have a smile on his face, and he also looked at Empress Dowager Ye, but his eyes were cold and cold, and there was no trace of emotion.

"The queen often comes, and she comes the next day, and she has never been delayed." Empress Dowager Ye told the truth.

Emperor Tianhe nodded, "That's okay, the queen is the mother of a country, and she represents me in family affairs." I came here today for an important matter, and the Queen Mother knows that Jiang Yue is crying in the Qingming Hall at this moment! ”

Emperor Tianhe has never beaten around the bush when he speaks, and he doesn't even bother to do greetings and foreshadowing, so he goes straight to the topic.

The anger in Empress Dowager Ye's heart also came up, her niece came to cry, she hasn't asked the emperor to settle accounts, this emperor has come to the door? He threw the little eunuch out as soon as he opened his mouth, what is this for?

"Isn't Jiang Yue waiting for the emperor's little eunuch? He was crying in the Qingming Palace, and the emperor came to the mourning family to say what he meant? ”

Emperor Tianhe said expressionlessly: "Why is he crying, the Queen Mother knows it, if I have to say it too clearly, not only will the words not be very good, but the Queen Mother's face will not be too good-looking." ”

"Why is the face of the mourning family not good-looking?" The anger in Empress Dowager Ye's heart was a little uncontrollable, "That's right, the mourning family knows why he is crying, so the emperor came to Defu Palace this time to ask the mourning family Xingshi?" ”

"If the Queen Mother says so, it's okay." Emperor Tianhe stood with his hands in his hands, his face sinking terrifyingly.

Empress Dowager Ye was furious, "Because of a eunuch, the emperor actually found the head of the mourning family, and there is such a thing in the bottom of the world, it is really a joke to say it." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Tianhe's face was even more unkind, "What does the Queen Mother mean that my words and deeds in this Defu Palace will be spread outside?" Then the people in this Defu Palace must be judged well, punished if they should be punished, and killed if they should be killed. Falsely spread the matter of the royal inner palace, and the sin deserves death. Empress Dowager Ye shuddered, and quickly rounded her words back: The mourning family didn't mean that, or said it casually, and the emperor didn't have to take it to heart. It's just that the mourning family doesn't understand, even though Jiang Yue is serving the emperor with merit, but in the end he is still a minion, and the emperor thinks that because of a minion, he will make trouble

Is it appropriate to come from home? "Not suitable." Emperor Tianhe said it as a matter of course, "If this incident only happened outside the palace, I would never pay attention to it." Jiang Yue has the ability to go to the Wenguo Mansion to get his face back, and if he doesn't have the ability, he will continue to cry, I will not reason with the Queen Mother because of this. But I just heard that the second lady of the Wenguo Mansion has entered the palace, and she has entered the Defu Palace. Crying to come in and cry to go out. If the Queen Mother said that the second lady of the Bai family came to the palace just to visit her aunt, and you didn't plan to say anything else to me, then I would turn around and leave now. Jiang Yue was bullied, and I would ask Wen Guogong and the Ye family

, will never disturb the Queen Mother. What does the Queen Mother think? "Mourning the family......" Empress Dowager Ye didn't know how to answer this for a while. If she nodded, then she would no longer be able to make decisions for her niece, not only could she not be in charge, but she also had to watch the emperor go to support Jiang Yue. She is not afraid to toss the Bai family, but the Ye family is her home! She has experienced a lot of hardships in her life

What is the reason for all the hardships to get to the position of the queen mother? It's not for her Ye family.

Empress Dowager Ye was silent, and Emperor Tianhe nodded, "It seems that the second husband of the Wenguo Mansion has indeed not only asked his aunt for peace since he entered the palace. In that case, then I should come too. ”

"That's the niece of the mourning family." Empress Dowager Ye's posture softened, "Is the emperor unwilling to leave even this little face to the mourning family for the sake of a slave?" In the end, the mourning family is the queen mother of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, and the queen mother who left a legacy of the first emperor! "So what?" Emperor Tianhe was completely unmoved, "How did the edict of the first emperor stay, did the queen mother really not count it in her heart or did she forget it for many years?" Do you want me to remind you? In fact, I forgot about this matter originally, but since the Queen Mother needs to think about it, I will rely on you and think about it

Think about it. ”

"No, the mourning family didn't mean that." Empress Dowager Ye panicked, "The emperor is really too careful, the mourning family really doesn't mean that, but he just thinks that his niece is a junior, crying and begging to come to the mourning family, it's really unreasonable not to help." "Junior." Emperor Tianhe smiled faintly, "The Queen Mother may not know that I recently read the folds handed over by foreign officials a few years ago, and I have a feeling for the people's livelihood and people's feelings. So I decided to reduce the tax again this autumn, and in addition, I would recognize that Jiang Yue as my righteous son to show my care. already

However, he became my son, that is, the Queen Mother, your grandson, this grandson or niece, the Queen Mother should not be able to distinguish between distance and proximity, right? ”

"Does the emperor really want to recognize a eunuch as a righteous son?" Empress Dowager Ye was so angry that her heart hurt, and an emperor recognized the eunuch as his righteous son, which was simply ridiculous. Who has ever heard of such a thing?

But Emperor Tianhe didn't think it was strange, he just asked, "What?" What kind of decision do I have to make, and who do I want to accept as my adopted son, do you have any opinions, Queen Mother? ”

Empress Dowager Ye hurriedly shook her head, how dare she have an opinion, but if she has a little idea, Emperor Tianhe will immediately give her a hat of doing politics, and she, the queen mother, will not be able to sit comfortably. "It's good if you don't have it." Emperor Tianhe continued: "I believe that the Queen Mother is a reasonable person, and you will not even understand this truth, otherwise you will not care about the royal face. As the Queen Mother said before, if this matter spreads, everyone will say in the future that the Queen Mother is dedicated to your mother's family

niece, even at the expense of royal dignity, then how can you stay in this Defu Palace. In the entire inner hall of the Defu Palace, everyone who heard this was shocked. The emperor is warning the queen mother that the royal majesty cannot be damaged, even if you are the queen mother, in the eyes of the royal people, she is just a woman in the harem. All the honors are given by the royal family, once people want to receive them

Go back, that's just a matter of words.

Empress Dowager Ye was silent, but Emperor Tianhe turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "This matter depends on how the Empress Dowager chooses, if you want to take care of it, I won't stop it, I also want to see if this Eastern Qin Dynasty is my Jun's family or your Ye family." ”

The emperor left, but no one said a word in the inner hall of Defu Palace for a long time. The hall was so quiet that almost everyone's heartbeat could be heard, and all the palace people held their breath for fear of making a little noise to annoy the Queen Mother.

After a long time, the old lady finally let out a long sigh. She called for Quan Yan: "Go and deliver a message to Ye Rou and tell her that there is nothing the mourning family can do about this matter, let her ask for more blessings!" ”

In the afternoon of this day, Bai Heran took a subordinate and Bai Zhenzhen to move to Yinxia Courtyard. Her courtyard is under construction, and the craftsmen from the palace are looking at the courtyard where it is not pleasing to the eye, and they keep chanting: "What kind of broken courtyard, how can you wake up to the noble identity of the princess!" ”

Immediately following these words, it was demolished here, demolished there, demolished the main house, demolished the side pavilion, and went down with a few hammers, and the courtyard was demolished. She estimated that the project would not be completed in a month or two, so she simply moved. Yinxia Courtyard is the territory of the Hong family, Bai Heran can move here, and the Hong family and Bai Zhenzhen are naturally welcome, but she does not plan to live for a long time. After all, the Hong family is Bai Xingyan's concubine, Bai Xingyan always has to have a long relationship, and the Hong family also needs to use the identity of a favorite concubine to consolidate his position. she

It's too embarrassing to live here, and the most important thing is that once she lives here, it's impossible for Bai Xingyan to be willing to come again. She didn't hide it, and told Hong's mother and daughter about her consideration, and Hong's thought for a while and gave an idea: "It's better to ask the old lady to call the shots and divide a courtyard for the fourth lady." There are a lot of ready-made empty yards in the house, and you can live in a day or two, and the second lady will live with the fourth lady first, and so on

The new Nianxi courtyard was built and then moved. ”

After hearing this, she felt that this was indeed a good idea, so she asked Yingchun to tell the old lady, and she followed Bai Zhenzhen back to the room to clean up the place where she was going to stay temporarily for the next two days. Bai Zhenzhen told her: "My aunt's yard is not big, and I squeeze it together, so it is really difficult to free up a decent room for you." In the early years, I persuaded my aunt to change to a larger yard, anyway, there is silver, and it is a big deal to pay for it, just give a place in the house

Finish. But my aunt said that there were many places in the courtyard and house of Yinxia Courtyard that were arranged with the help of the eldest lady back then, and she was reluctant. Bai Zhenzhen sighed softly, took Bai Heran's hand and said, "Sister, I was too young to remember anything back then, and I didn't even have the shadow of the eldest lady left in my mind." But my aunt always talked about it, and as time went by, she felt that the eldest lady was very kind, as if she had always lived by our side and never left. Sister, do you still have an impression of the eldest lady? ”
