Chanjuan listened to Xiao Jinzi's instructions, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart, so she went out of the inner room, lowered her head and thought for a while, before turning the screen and heading towards the inner hall.

In the inner hall, the emperor and Queen Chen were there, and the two of them sat on the arhat couch that Xiao Li Meiren used to do needlework on weekdays in the inner hall.

The window has been opened, the sun is not heavy here, but the light is very good, there is no wind, Emperor Zhou Sheng and Empress Chen sat face to face on the Luohan couch, there was a chessboard on the small few in the middle, the two of them held two bullets, quiet but leisurely have a little bit of chess, falling.

"Your Majesty, is this girl really sent by Liufu?" Empress Chen picked up a white chess piece, hesitating how to land, and did not look up at Emperor Zhou Sheng, but asked casually.

"Hehe, really, I heard that the second girl of the Liu family has liked these mysterious techniques since she was a child, and this girl has been following her for several years, and she is even better at learning than the second girl of the Liu family." Emperor Zhou Sheng propped one hand on the small table, and the other hand leisurely placed on his right leg that was not sitting on the Luohan couch, and his fingers flicked lightly.

"But this metaphysics is the most terrifying, every time the concubine sounds it, she will feel a little hairy in her heart." Empress Chen raised her eyelids and glanced at Emperor Zhou Sheng coquettishly.

The understanding of this can be seen in two aspects, on the one hand, I want to see Emperor Zhou Sheng's views on women's study of metaphysics, and on the other hand, I have to think of a way to excuse the Liu family if the situation is not good.

He laughed gently, reached out and patted a hand that Empress Chen put on the table, "You, you just have a lot of heart." ”

Chanjuan turned out, seeing such a comfortable and harmonious scene between the emperor and the queen, her heart was sour, she knew that she shouldn't think like this, but she couldn't suppress it no matter what, so she choked into her nose sourly.

When Empress Chen saw Chanjuan who turned out from behind the screen, why was her face so ugly? His eyelids jumped, and he quickly withdrew the hand that Emperor Zhou Sheng was clapping on, and hurriedly asked, "Chanjuan, what's wrong with your master?" Isn't it good? ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng squinted at Chanjuan, he was not like Empress Chen, he really knew this kind of face and eyes very clearly.

It is true that "greed" begins with what we see every day!

Chanjuan saw that the emperor's face had changed, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, lifted her breath, walked into the two of them a few steps with small steps, and then knelt on the ground and truthfully told Xiao Jinzi what she had asked her to do.

Empress Chen peeked at Emperor Zhou Sheng, who had an unkind face, turned her gaze, looked at Chanjuan and said, "Then what do you mean......?" What do you think is wrong? ”

Chanjuan squeaked for a while, Queen Chen couldn't hear what she said carefully, her brows were furrowed, but her tone was still gentle: "If there is anything wrong, go back and talk about it, you go to find a few children first, and then let the emperor take a look at it again." ”

This is obviously to help Chanjuan speak.

Emperor Zhou Sheng shook his head, helplessly glanced at Empress Chen, who was smiling apologetically at him, and turned to look at Chanjuan and said, "You go to the Qinzheng Palace, find the Third Highness, and let him do this, and you will be responsible for finding the futon." After a pause, he continued: "Look for a straw futon, not the one you use on weekdays." ”

Chanjuan was stunned and looked at Emperor Zhou Sheng, who was pleasant because of Empress Chen's words, and when she saw Emperor Zhou Sheng coming over, she quickly lowered her head, listened to the order, and retreated quickly, even forgetting to salute Empress Chen.

Empress Chen smiled and watched Chanjuan's back leave in a panic out of the inner hall, only then did she look back at Emperor Zhou Sheng, and teased: "I didn't expect that your demeanor has not diminished back then......

Emperor Zhou Sheng was amused by Empress Chen's words, nodded and said: "Yes, I told you a long time ago, my charm has not diminished back then, and you still don't believe it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, your charm is unparalleled in the world! By the way, you just asked her to find a straw futon, what does this mean? ”

Empress Chen picked up the chessboard and put it on the inside of her seat, and then motioned to Aunt Ying to bring a set of tea sets. He asked as he made tea.

"Xiao Jinzi's method, yesterday you asked someone to send a letter, and she asked me for instructions, because there is a kind of ...... involved here" Emperor Zhou Sheng tilted his head and thought about it, then remembered, patted his thigh and said: "This is called psychotherapy, Xiao Jinzi said, looking at the situation reported by the waiter, it is obvious that Chun'er has a heart disease, this heart disease is the most difficult to treat, she said that when she was in Liufu, the second girl of the Liu family told her about this psychological therapy, and said yes, maybe you can give it a try, and I will allow her." ”

took a sip of the teacup, sighed and said: "Chun'er is not worried about the fourth child, I am afraid that he will not have a good time after he goes, unsatisfactory, and it is also a kind of heart disease of motherhood, this straw futon is a trick that Xiao Jinzi thinks, thinking that Chun'er will see that the fourth child has ascended to heaven and has become a fairy, maybe, I can let go of this heart and slowly recuperate, maybe it can be better." ”

Soon, the third prince Zhou Minrui took three children, followed by the children's parents, Chanjuan received a huge straw futon from the sacrificial bureau, she couldn't hold it alone, so she had to carry a little eunuch from the sacrificial bureau with her.

Chanjuan saw that the third prince had found three children so quickly, and they were all boys, so she had a sudden attack in her heart, how could it be so fast? You know, it is very difficult to find a child in the palace, the palace maids, who have given birth to children, have been released out of the palace to marry, in the palace, it is nothing more than to find a eunuch to be the right food, or to serve the master for the end of his life, or to successfully hug the emperor or the princes' thighs, as a mother or concubine, all the men who are on errands in the palace, except for the royal guards, none of them are real men, how can there be children?

But His Royal Highness found the children so quickly, and they were all boys, obviously they had already discussed with Xiao Jinzi, maybe they had already discussed with the emperor......

Chanjuan regretted a little that she had said so many stupid things just now...... How will the emperor see himself?

"Father, mother, you see, these children, is it feasible?" Zhou Minrui sat on the chair that was temporarily moved, looked at Emperor Zhou Sheng and Empress Chen with a serious expression and asked.

Emperor Zhou Sheng glanced at the three pairs of parents who followed behind the children, all of them were not from the court, they looked a little submissive, when they first came in, they didn't even know how to salute, they only kowtowed, and they were obviously not the courtiers' families, Emperor Zhou Sheng was very satisfied with this result, and looked at Zhou Minrui and nodded.

Empress Chen obviously pays attention to the child, with Emperor Zhou Sheng, she doesn't need to spend any other effort, she never does that smart, women, it is more important to take care of their own affairs, to men, to be respectful and respectful, it is also her limit, let her pay more affection and effort? She asked herself if she couldn't do it.

The three boys, all of whom looked to be four or five years old, each of them wore a small landlord's hat, and their clothes could be seen to be brand new, staring at the people they didn't know in front of them, looking left and right for a while, very clever.

Empress Chen turned her head to look at Emperor Zhou Sheng and said with a smile: "These children look very clever, and they have the shadow of the fourth child. ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng also looked at the child, yes, there is the shadow of the fourth child, when the fourth child was alive, he was the most lively among the sons, and he was also the most afraid of himself, such a good child......

Rao was born, grew up and became an adult in the most ruthless imperial family, and Emperor Zhou Sheng, who was about to grow old again, couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Your Majesty......" Empress Chen called softly.

Emperor Zhou Sheng's eyes seemed to be a little moist, and he patted Empress Chen's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng coughed lightly and said to the trembling parents standing behind the child, "I thank you. ”

These pairs of young parents, hearing the emperor's thanks to them, quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people are terrified. This sentence was obviously also taught by the three princes temporarily, because they read it so consistently but unfamiliarly.

The children are the most innocent and do not have so many concepts of dignity and inferiority, two of the children saw their parents kneeling, "wow" and cried, while the other child, staring at his round eyes, looked back and forth at his parents, the two crying children next to him, and the man in yellow sitting on the big wooden bed.

The voice was immature, and he said in an incomprehensible tone: "Daddy, mother, why are you so afraid?" That big daddy looks good, he's a good guy. ”

"Da Lang, don't be rude!" The child's father snorted, and seemed to remember that the person in front of him was the emperor, and quickly apologized: "Your Majesty...... Belch...... Children are rude, children are not sensible, don't be angry. ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, look at you, it's not as good as a child, you see, the child knows that I am a good person." ”

The child's father was terrified, and he wanted to laugh when he was told by Emperor Zhou Sheng's tone, and his expression looked very strange.

Emperor Zhou Sheng didn't care about the disrespect of the child calling himself "Big Daddy", because the title of "Big Daddy" is the name of the male who is older than his father, and waved his hand to let the other two children and their parents retreat, and instructed Queen Chen: "You go to comfort and comfort, it is inevitable that the child is afraid of life, don't let the parents chill." ”

Empress Chen also had this intention, and quickly nodded yes, and took Aunt Ying to accompany the crying children and their parents to exit the inner hall.

Emperor Zhou Sheng beckoned to the child and said, "Come here, show the big daddy." ”

The child looked back at the parents with panicked and surprised expressions, pouted and didn't know what to think, and after a while, he walked crookedly into Emperor Zhou Shengdi a few steps, and then raised his eyelids to look at him and said, "Big daddy, can you let my father and mother kiss each other?" It's cold on the ground, and my mother has a leg pain. ”

"Good!" Emperor Zhou Sheng smiled and promised the little baby, then looked at his parents and said, "Get up, give a seat." ”

"Your Majesty." The simple couple stood up and performed awkward and unfamiliar etiquette to Emperor Zhou Sheng with a grateful face. Zhou Minrui smiled and let the two of them take their seats, and then instructed his chamberlain Xiao Shanzi to pour tea for the two.

The child was happy, he knew that the yellow-clothed daddy in front of him was a good person, jumped up and down to Emperor Zhou Sheng, turned around and sat on Emperor Zhou Sheng's lap with a small buttocks, and then tilted his head to look at the tea set on the small table, and said with bright eyes: "Big daddy, what is this?" Such a small cup? Can I drink water? It's so small......"

The child asked curiously, Emperor Zhou Sheng hugged him, smiled and patiently explained, the child's parents eyes were also bright, where could they have thought that one day, they could come to the palace in person, and sit face to face with the emperor, their own children, can actually sit on the emperor's lap? This is simply a great blessing from God.

The child's parents were restrained, happy, drinking tea in the palace, the child was curious, happy, looking at Emperor Zhou Shengdi asking questions, Emperor Zhou Sheng's rare patience, with a pleasant face, explaining to the child those his curiosity, Zhou Minrui thought, his father is really old, I heard that people, the older they are, the closer they are to children, and when they are older, they will become children......

****************

Chanjuan was alone in front of a big futon, looking at Xiao Li Meiren who was sleeping heavily on the bed, and felt sad.

"Chanjuan, you have been with me for so many years, and I have nothing to give you, when Minxiang is a little older and not so tired, I will tell the emperor that I will officially accept you, so that you can also have a title, and we sisters can always be together."

Back then, Xiao Li Mei gave birth to four princes, and in her heart, she was all loving, maybe people who just became mothers have soft hearts, right? She said that to herself back then, although she said that she refused, but in her heart, she couldn't help but yearn for it. In this life, if she can really become a mother one day, Chanjuan thought in her heart at the time that she must work hard with Xiao Li Meiren to raise the four princes to grow up, and if she is lucky, she can also have a son and a half daughter, and in this life, she will really be content.

But...... Wait, wait, Xiao Li Meiren has never mentioned to the emperor that he accepted himself, and the emperor has always been the emperor's attitude towards the palace maid, and there has never been a trace of superfluous emotions...... No matter how hard you try.

However, Chanjuan still can't figure out how the four princes were killed? Why has Xiao Li Meiren always been so sure, it was the virtuous concubine Niangniang who killed the four princes?

Chanjuan asked herself, that is, for a period of time, Concubine Xian seemed to be deliberately trying to win her over, but she never promised her, and the four princes have always been cared for by themselves and Xiao Li Beauty, how did Concubine Xian Niangniang move? Whose hand is it looking for?

Chanjuan remembered that Concubine Xian had been demoted to a martial concubine by the emperor, and she was no longer one of the four concubines, hehe, Imperial Concubine? That's no longer possible! Although Chanjuan is not so sure that Concubine Xian did the death of the fourth prince, she doesn't like Concubine Xian, and it was a long time ago.

Xiao Jinzi turned out of the screen from the inner room and gave a blessing to Emperor Zhou Sheng, Emperor Zhou Sheng promised her that she would be allowed to do non-major activities, and she didn't have to kneel, the child's parents and parents widened their eyes when they saw Xiao Jinzi come out, so small? The child's mother secretly glanced at Emperor Zhou Sheng, and said strangely! Men like young women, and they look at the father of the child again. The child's father was inexplicable, and seemed to react at once, and smiled at his wife with a wry feeling.

Zhou Minrui smiled secretly, this child's father, thought that he had looked at Xiao Jinzi a few more times, and made the child and her mother unhappy, alas...... This poor husband and wife are so undignified, such a trivial matter, the wife has to be jealous, and the man is even more unproductive, so can he be so slapping his daughter-in-law? What a lack of masculinity!

What Zhou Minrui didn't expect was that many years later, he turned out to be the man who was most afraid of his daughter-in-law in Manjin Beijing, and there was no one, and only he knew who it was! Alas...... That was years later, and I won't show it for now.

Xiao Jinzi took out a string of golden wooden flat beads from his arms, shook them at the child, and said with a smile: "Do you want to know what this is?" ”

Not only the children, but even the parents of the children and Emperor Zhou Sheng were attracted, you know, in the current technology of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the beads have not yet been made into a flat shape, the more rounded, the smoother the polished, the better, the string of flat beads in the hand of Xiao Jinzi, not like polished, but like natural wood in such a shape, it is really rare to see.

The child was curious, but he didn't have a strong sense of hierarchy, so he slipped off Emperor Zhou Sheng on his calves, ran to Xiao Jinzi's side, tiptoed to see her raised beads, and asked, "Sister, what is this?" ”

Xiao Jinzi raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Zhou Sheng, and after receiving instructions, he said to the child: "I want to know, let's come in with my sister and take a look?" Good no good? ”

"Good!" The child agreed, as if remembering his parents, and quickly turned his face to look at his father.

The child's father nodded to the child, and the child, with the consent of the parents, happily took the little gold hand and went into the screen.

"You don't have to worry, let's go, I will take you to visit and participate first, it's rare to come to the palace once."

The couple quickly knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Visiting the palace, or the emperor himself took the visit, this is really a blessing from the previous life.

Xiao Jinzi took the child into the inner room, saw Chanjuan wiping her tears and looked over, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as we work hard, Niangniang will be fine." ”

Chanjuan nodded, looked at the child who came in with Xiao Jinzi, her eyes widened, and she stuttered: "It seems to be ......."

Xiao Jinzi shook his head, this is a psychological hint, Chanjuan is under too much psychological pressure, so she will feel that this child is imaginary with the fourth highness who has died.
