Under the backdrop of colorful lanterns of different shapes, the palace is not only majestic. Strict, magnificent, and described, so beautiful that it no longer seems to be in the world.

But the fierce looks of the Empress Dowager and the people around her added a gloomy atmosphere to this fairyland-like place, and the people in it did not have a sense of leisurely and happy, only a sense of panic and anxiety.

The atmosphere is not good, but Shen Zhujun is brilliant and extraordinary, after the initial shock, he reacted, and replied without humility or arrogance, "Empress Dowager Xie allows me to justify, the meaning of this embroidered screen 'joy from the same root' is that the roots are the same, and they share each other's meaning, share joys and sorrows, and share joy." Dare to ask all the scholars and monks, can the meaning of the same root only refer to compatriots and brothers? "

Because there was a dispute between the empress dowager and the empress, one by one they all came to this courtyard, and all the harem concubines and princesses, eldest princesses, princesses, county lords, and lady of the decree, and young ladies, together with the princes, concubines, and ministers of the court, all came to this courtyard.

The crowd whispered, but no one answered positively. Because no matter how you answer, there will be the result of either offending the Empress Dowager or offending the Empress.

After a while, Shen Zhujun asked and answered himself: "The brothers of the same mother and the same brother and sister are the same root, the half-brothers and sisters are the same root, and the blood relatives of the same family are also the same root, which is about the same root, a country is also a big family, the people of the French Dynasty are born from the same root, and the friendly neighbors who are willing to make friends with the French Dynasty are also the brother states of our dynasty, or the same root." "

She paused as she spoke, because she saw Han Zexi also pacing forward, throwing encouraging glances at her.

Everyone then found out that the emperor was coming, and they knelt down to say goodbye, and the queen mother also bowed her head to salute.

Han Zexi held his hands weakly, motioned for everyone to be flat, and then smiled at the Empress Dowager and said, "The Empress Dowager is happy and healthy, I don't know if the lanterns can be seen tonight?" "

They are not mother and son, not even stepmother and stepson, so they do not use titles such as "queen mother" and "emperor", only honorific titles.

"The lantern is okay, but the meaning of the embroidered screen is profound, and the mourning family is extremely puzzled, so I want to ask the queen to explain carefully." The Queen Mother squinted at Shen Zhujun.

Han Zexi looked at Shen Zhujun with an affectionate smile: "I would also like to hear about it." "

With Han Zexi's support for Shen Zhujun, he was more confident, his spirit was bright, his phoenix eyes looked around everyone, and he said calmly, "Broadly speaking, everyone in the world is brothers and sisters, and all living beings in heaven and earth can be regarded as the same root, but there is always a difference between people, between living beings and living beings, so the two children on the embroidered screen are also fat and thin."

The distinction between fat and thin does not mean that the mother favors one over the other, but that the mother treats the children equally, no matter what the difference is.

People are tall, short, fat and thin, high and low, and there are many kinds of creatures in the world, and there are countless of them, but Mother Earth does not favor or dislike any living beings, but all living beings and souls fight endlessly because of their own jealousy and greed.

In other words, the peace of the country and the people is not the responsibility of one person and one family, but the responsibility of the people of the world, which is the 'joy of the same root'. "

As soon as the words fell, the crowd did not know who took the lead in applauding, and the applause was thunderous for a while.

Someone else shouted: "The emperor's benevolence, the blessing of all the people; The queen is virtuous, and the common people are lucky! The others chanted.

Han Zexi chuckled gently, pressed his hands down, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then bowed to the Empress Dowager and said: "It is all thanks to the Empress Dowager's teaching, kindness and generosity that can the country prosper and the people be happy." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled awkwardly and looked at Shen Zhujun, "It is the emperor who has a virtuous helper who has the rule of Zhongxing today." ”

has been in the palace for many years, I don't know how many words I have said, but this time it is the most disobedient, but Shen Zhujun has not given the high hat to others again, but just bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly, the Empress Dowager felt that she accepted the praise.

Han Zexi turned to everyone again and said, "The Empress Dowager, all Aiqing, please see, now that the four seas are leveling, is the mother on the embroidered screen smiling very kindly and gratifying?" "

Maybe it's psychological, that weird smile becomes very kind; It may also be that he didn't dare to disobey the emperor, anyway, everyone even claimed to be.

Cold sweat oozed from the corner of Cao Beidao's forehead, and he said to Shen Zhujun: "After listening to Niangniang's words, the minister understands the deep meaning, forgive the minister for being foolish, and speculate in vain that he does not know the true meaning." "

Fa Luo also said with a smile on his face: "The old man is shallow, and his understanding of the meaning of 'joy of the same root' is too narrow, so I ask the queen to forgive me." "

"It's just an embroidered screen, you don't have to dig too deep into the original meaning, discuss it together, and express your own opinions to show the unity of the monarch and the minister." Shen Zhujun didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he smiled and stretched out his hand.

Han Zexi immediately held her hand and walked towards a lotus lantern with her.

The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable, what happened just now seemed stingy and mean, but it was not good to make things difficult for Shen Zhujun again, and reluctantly said a few polite words to the ladies who came to greet her.

Cha'er was even more unwilling, the dug pit was not only jumped over by Shen Zhujun, but also took advantage of it to show off the limelight, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Cheng Haofeng casting approving glances at Han Zexi and Shen Zhujun in the crowd, and her heart was even more jealous, angry and hateful.

The Empress Dowager and several concubines in the palace looked at the emperor and queen who were chatting and laughing hand in hand, they also had the love of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and now the past has become a thing of the past.

Seeing them like this, Cha'er had a plan, the empress dowager is already old, and the concubines left by Emperor Deyuan are still in their prime, but after Emperor Deyuan's death, he can only be widowed until he is old, and it must be uncomfortable to see Han Zexi and Shen Zhujunlang's concubines.

So she said in a weird way, "The emperor and the queen are really in love, envious of others, if the emperor can fall in love, the queen must be a great benevolent person in the tenth generation." "

"Without the accumulation of virtue in the previous life, it is difficult to enter even the palace, let alone the world. But the queen's words and deeds are not dignified, today's monarchs and ministers are happy, and they should take care of the royal majesty in front of the ministers, but her behavior is the same as the sympathy of the market woman Lang Guanlan. A concubine who was once favored by Emperor Deyuan said.

The Empress Dowager glared at her, and when she saw that Han Zexi and they didn't hear this, she said, "Celebrate the whole world tonight, and spare you for the crime of disrespect." If you dare to talk nonsense again, drag your palm to your mouth! ”

The concubine covered her mouth and retreated to the corner, and the other people who followed the Empress Dowager trembled and did not dare to speak again.

After a while, Cha'er smiled and said: "I really admire the queen's mother, being rich is the virtue of her previous life, and making the harem peaceful is her grace and power, and she is well-managed." She has unique insights and a big pattern, unlike us ordinary women who only know some small things in the boudoir, she must have a close relationship with Hu Yuanjun and have learned a lot, so she has such a transcendent fairy spirit. "

The others nodded dryly and echoed a few words, but Cha'er didn't say any more, but looked at Duan Mengrou with a smile.

Duan Mengrou was not interested in how Shen Zhujun was, but for Hu Xianxian, who also had the title of Heavenly Concubine, it would attract Duan Mengrou's attention.

Duan Mengrou's hearing was extraordinary, she walked with her head held high, and said to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager is smart and enlightened, why do you need to learn anything from others?" What's more, Hu Yuanjun is impulsive and reckless, how can he compare to the queen's mother? "

Hu Xianxian and Shen Zhujun are not people who can be discussed casually, Cha'er did not refute, and others did not dare to answer.

Ke Yarun, who was in the corner, nudged Ke Yajie, "You also go and say a few words, show your talents, otherwise you will be buried." "

Ke Yajie nodded reluctantly and walked to the Empress Dowager's side, "The Empress Dowager is happy for the Lantern Festival." He said to Duan Mengrou again, "Well, Hu Yuanjun and the queen are both female models, so let's not be superior." "

Duan Mengrou snorted lightly, Cha'er was secretly happy with Duan Mengrou's attitude, this little episode that was not in the calculation gave her plan a chance to turn around.

"Concubine De is virtuous and virtuous, and she is so approachable, she is really a role model for women in the world." Cha'er praised Ke Yajie again.

The Empress Dowager frowned, took Ke Yajie's hand and said, "You all learn from her, be filial and do things properly, not publicity, and will not do embarrassing actions." "

Everyone and Ke Yajie had no conflict of interest and had been favored by her, and they all praised her, Ke Yajie couldn't help but blush.

Even Cao Beidao came to answer: "Concubine De's words and deeds are indeed the most in line with women's etiquette, of course, Hu Yuanjun is not bad." Although she is not meticulous in her work and does not know how to consider the feelings of others, she is a woman with a true temperament, but it is difficult for me and other ordinary people to get along with her. "

"Only national teachers in the world can afford it, haha." Falloy laughed loudly and looked at Cheng Haofeng.

These words were said to Cheng Haofeng, but he walked as if he hadn't heard it, looking at the lanterns casually, and they were still ridiculing Hu Xianxian even more unscrupulously.

Because Fa Liu's voice was loud, Shen Zhujun noticed that they were talking about Hu Xianxian, and frowned and looked over.

"Hear them say that your best friend, upset? I don't blame others for saying that she is indeed acting too perversely. Now she has gone to Qinzhou Yunhuaguan, so as not to give birth to right and wrong because of her. There is no one to help you manage the affairs of the Six Palaces, so you can invite your mother and Grandma Li into the palace to help you. Han Zexi couldn't get used to Hu Xianxian.

Han Zexi felt that it was okay for Hu Xianxian to do big things alone, and his usual rude and rude words and deeds made him lose face more than once, and he didn't have the slightest fear of him as an emperor.

But when Shen Zhujun heard him say this, he stared at him as if he didn't know him, "Are you afraid that Sister Hu will cause us trouble?" How much effort did she make for us, and how much did she contribute to the French Dynasty? Think about the past, and I'll reason with them. ”

Han Zexi wanted to stop her, but she had already walked away, and she didn't have much to say in front of everyone, so she had to watch from afar.

"The Queen Mother, is it only an honest and well-behaved woman who is worthy of admiration? A woman like Hu Yuanjun should be ridiculed? May I ask if the Empress Dowager still remembers being held hostage by Gonggong Li? Shen Zhujun asked aggressively.

The Empress Dowager blushed, and then her face turned pale, "Remember, it was Hu Xianxian who rescued the mourning family, and the queen mother accused the mourning family of being ungrateful?" ”

"Don't dare to accuse, and saving the Empress Dowager is also Hu Yuanjun's duty as a minister. But when you are enjoying the honor, will it chill the loyal and righteous people to belittle those who are desperately trying to protect the country and the king from the fire in their blood? After Shen Zhujun finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then looked at Han Zexi.
