In Cishou Palace, after Zhao Mingxu asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the mother and son sat down to drink tea, which was quite harmonious.

"The queen mother looks much better." Zhao Mingxu said.

"New Year, New Atmosphere" The Queen Mother regained some kindness, "The mourning family was rushed by the joy of this New Year's Festival, and they are much better." ”

Zhao Mingxu smiled and took a sip of tea, and the Queen Mother continued: "Early this morning, the first queen came. ”

"The imperial sister-in-law has come to pay New Year's greetings to the queen mother." Zhao Mingxu said.

"It's a New Year's greeting, and it's also a thanksgiving." The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Mingxu, "You can let their mother and son out of the palace and mourn the family's ......"

"Queen Mother", didn't let the Queen Mother say the following words, Zhao Mingxu said, "The imperial sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong, Chen'er is also innocent, and her son is not the kind of person who kills everything." ”

Looking at her youngest son, who used to be so worrying, and now he has achieved that supreme position, the Queen Mother sighed: "If it was ...... back then" If Zhao Mingjing thought the same way back then, and had to be forgiving and forgiving, I am afraid there would not be so many tragedies later.

It's just that this is not suitable to be mentioned again after all, the Queen Mother paused, and turned to the side: "Although the affairs of the previous dynasty are busy, the emperor should not forget that the harem is, and now that there is no owner in the sixth palace, do you have a favorite candidate?" ”

"It's a big deal after the start, and my son wants to take his time, but he is not in a hurry at this time." Zhao Mingxu said.

The Queen Mother nodded, thinking about Jia Qiao'er's behavior in the past, it was estimated that it hurt the emperor's heart, so she said: "It's good that you want to be cautious, but now that you are not small, you should add a few more people to the harem to extend your heirs." ”

"I was about to say this with my mother", Zhao Mingxu said lightly, "My son has a woman who loves women, and he has been with him since the end of the year, and it is rare to have a deep affection. ”

The Queen Mother paused, thought for a moment and said, "But the little lady surnamed Song from the previous one?" ”

Zhao Mingxu smiled: "It's her, the queen mother still remembers." ”

"The mourning family still remembers that you were right to her at the beginning, but it was just a moment of freshness." Xu recalled the time when the mother and son got along in the past, and it was rare for the Queen Mother, with a hint of ridicule in her words.

As soon as Zhao Mingxu was about to speak, the Queen Mother continued: "The mourning family knows, you are afraid that someone will endanger her, so you deliberately said this." ”

Zhao Mingxu arched his hand: "The queen mother is wise." ”

After a while, the relationship between mother and son became a little closer.

"Since you like her, seal it." The Queen Mother said, she didn't take this too seriously, and asked Shushen again: "Remember the mourning family, there is another one from the palace?" ”

"Yes, the beauty given by the emperor at the beginning was called Shushen, and she was also made a concubine." Zhao Mingxu said.

"Hmm", the Queen Mother nodded, "It's just that there are fewer people after all." ”

I wanted to mention the draft, but Zhao Mingxu opened his mouth first: "Now that the treasury is insufficient, there are many places where the imperial court uses money, and the harem can save money and save money, my son really doesn't want to work hard for the draft, and now it is enough for the two of them to wait, and the rest will be talked about later." ”

Hearing him say this, the Queen Mother was not in a hurry at this time: "Since you insist, let's do it for the time being, it's just that the continuation of the heir is a big deal, and the emperor must take it to heart." ”

"My son understands."

As he spoke, a palace maid came in outside to spread the word, saying that Concubine Shen had come to greet the Queen Mother.

"Call her in." The Queen Mother said.

"Then the son will retire, let Shen Concubine accompany his mother to talk." Zhao Mingxu got up.

The Queen Mother nodded: "Yesterday kept the New Year, and today is early, you go back to rest." ”

When Concubine Shen entered, she ran into Zhao Mingxu coming out, and she hurriedly retreated to the side and knelt down: "The concubine participates in the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Let's be flat." Zhao Mingxu said casually, and walked away without stopping.

Xinyue helped Shushen to get up, and the two continued to walk inside, and it was another big gift in front of the Queen Mother.

"Get up, and tell the mourners to see." The Empress Dowager's kind voice came.

Shushen got up, Ying Ying walked up to the Queen Mother, and lowered her head slightly.

Xu is people hate to death, and the Queen Mother now thinks of Zhao Mingjing more often, and she also feels a little closer to Shushen, the person rewarded by Zhao Mingjing: "It's a neat appearance." ”

"The concubine is a concubine, and thanks to His Majesty's refusal to give up, she can serve the left and right." Shu Shen said softly.

"Now that he has been sealed as a concubine, he can be regarded as a serious master, and he should not be arrogant." The Queen Mother said.

Shushen is a blessing again: "Yes, the concubine remembers the teachings of the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Sit down." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Holding the handmaid's hand and sitting down, Shushen couldn't find anything wrong with her words and deeds, and the queen mother was a little more satisfied.

"There are not many people in the harem now, and it is still hard to serve the emperor on weekdays?" The queen asked.

Shushen bit her lip, as if she was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty thinks about the first emperor and abides by etiquette, except for going to Sister Liuli every day to sit, he rarely comes to the harem, but it is not hard." ”

"Your Majesty is courteous, you must always think about Your Majesty, and take care of your daily life." The Queen Mother said.

Shushen immediately got up and knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the concubine's poor service, please punish the queen mother." ”

"For the New Year, the mourning family will punish you for what to do, but I have to mention you a few more words." The Queen Mother said, "Get up." ”

"Yes, thank you Queen Mother, the concubine has written it down." Shushen got up and sat back in her chair.

The Queen Mother continued: "The glass you just talked about, but the little lady surnamed Song? ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming is the younger sister of the Song family, and now she is living in the side hall of the Yangju Palace", Shushen said respectfully.

"The Residence Palace?" The queen mother was slightly surprised, the emperor only said that he would take people to live in the palace, but he didn't say that he lived in the side hall of the palace, "Why don't you live in the harem?" ”

"The concubines don't know," Shushen said with some sincere fear, "I think it's more convenient to live in a side hall." ”

"That's not like that." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

"The Queen Mother can rest assured, Your Majesty has chosen Biluozhai for Sister Liuli to live in, and she will move over in the near future." Shu Shen said again.

"Oh? No wonder I heard about Biluozhai renovation a few days ago, it was for this. The Queen Mother paused, glanced at Shushen in front of her, and said lightly: "The emperor has an old affection with her, so naturally she will be more pampered. ”

Shushen immediately knelt down again: "Queen of Heaven Mingjian, the concubine will never dare." Sister Liuli is young, the concubine is a few years older, she should take good care of her sister, and the concubine has prepared a thin gift, just waiting to congratulate Sister Liuli on her housewarming. ”

Saying this, Shushen's back was already soaked with sweat, she was too anxious, and she said these words when she met the Queen Mother for the first time.

And it seems that the Queen Mother is also a shrewd person, and the meaning of the words is obvious, Shushen secretly said that in the future, he must be more careful when he speaks and does things in front of the Queen Mother.
