The news of Qiu Di's visit was officially decided in mid-November, when Zuo Dan Yu Shuping and the Yan family, that is, the eldest princess of Guangyi, had already passed Xiliang, and this was the first time Qiu Di had seen him in decades, so Dayong paid special attention to it.

However, the importance is attached, Dayong is proud of the country, and because of the death of the eldest princess of Yiyuan, and in the early years of Changtai, Qiu Di took advantage of the fire to rob it, so the reception specifications agreed upon by the dynasty are just a little higher than the feudal state, originally according to the suggestion of the hussar general Zhou Zinan, Shu Ping is a vassal king, and in the end, Taishi Dao remembers the identity of the eldest princess of Guangyi, which must be higher than the vassal king.

It's so noisy, and the six palaces are also lively, just because the queen mother ordered the concubine to clean up the Qutai Palace - although the eldest princess Guangyi had a mansion in the imperial capital, but she didn't live for many years, and this time she came back to save her relatives, and the queen mother wanted to continue to keep her in Qutai Palace.

Originally, the craftsmen in the Shanggong Bureau were sufficient, and it would not be too late to get it before the eldest princess came back, but the last time because of Princess Rongshou, the Shanggong Bureau was angry and killed many people, and later Queen Zhou and Shen Shufei also punished a group of people into the court, and at this time there was a lot of lack of craftsmen.

Shen Shufei therefore went back to the Detai Hall again, and told the Queen Mother about it, this day was high and light, and the bright autumn sun shone in front of the palace, it seemed that the entire Detai Hall was much brighter, Danzhu, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yier all sat down with a handkerchief and accompanied the Queen Mother to talk about the interesting things of the Sixth Palace, and the Concubine Shu came in and finished talking about things, and the Queen Mother said: "What do you care?" ”

"The concubine thought, some of the craftsmen in the Shanggong Bureau last time were not the ones who went to clean up with Yi Qingzhai, and they were later attacked together and had already suffered a lot in the court, so why don't you let them out first?" Shen Shufei asked tentatively.

"Huh?" The Queen Mother immediately sank her face, "If it was Gan Tang who was frostbitten, would you come to be this good person today?" ”

When Concubine Shen Shufei heard this, she immediately got up from her chair in fright, knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine definitely didn't mean this!" ”

The Queen Mother said with a calm face: "All the craftsmen in this world are dead? Or the slave who doesn't have long eyes promised you any benefits! Co-author Rongshou was not born by you, so you can use her life and death to fulfill your virtuous reputation? ”

Although the queen mother beat the harem from time to time, she rarely spoke so harshly, and this time there was no warning at all, and Shen Shufei's tears immediately fell: "The concubine is wronged!" ”

In the palace, Danzhu and the three of them were also frightened, Zhou Yi'er naturally wished that Shen Shufei was as unlucky as possible, Danzhu had the softest heart, and he wanted to help intercede with the queen mother's face but didn't dare, Su Ruhui only pinched the corner of her clothes and didn't speak, only Qi Yun persuaded the queen mother not to be angry, so they opened their mouth and calmed the queen mother's anger.

"It's better for you to fight less on the Tingting's idea, since this matter has been reported, you should think about how to do it." The Queen Mother was persuaded to rest, and resumed her slow and logical tone, and said lukewarmly.

It's a cold day, but the queen mother is easy to get angry when she is old, so there are only two charcoal basins burned in the Detai Palace, Danzhu and others are wearing thick clothes, but Shen Shufei was born in a cold sweat, she thought about it for a while, Fang Zhuang said boldly: "The craftsmen used in the repair of Qutai Palace are all from generations of craftsmen, ordinary people, and they can't do such work, and they can afford to use the craftsmen of the world, in addition to the palace, there are only gate valves and families, it is better to call some people to the imperial capital, but you need to pinch the hour, and ask the guards to watch the entry and exit, and the time, It is also inconvenient for the six palaces to go out, Qutai Palace is very close to Renshou Palace, and on the day of greeting the Queen Mother, they will temporarily suspend work, so that they do not have to enter the palace. ”

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and snorted lightly: "Stop work? Where has Guangyi gone? The newly renovated palace room has just been varnished, so don't you even leave a day of dissipation? From now on, before Qutai Palace is cleaned up, there is no need to say goodbye! ”

Concubine Shen Shu cautiously agreed, and the Queen Mother called her up: "By the way, Rongshou's health has improved and he has temporarily lived in Zhaohua Palace, but where does the princess live, there must be a charter, since you are in charge of palace affairs, you should also worry about it!" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine thought that Sister Concubine De was lonely on her knees, so it would be better to let the princess be raised in Zhaohua Palace." Concubine Shu This is a hardship, Huo Guifei's birthday night, Changtai was coaxed by the concubine to go to Concubine De, that night Concubine De served diligently, and finally knelt on the ground and cried that she had been in the palace for many years, and she had nothing to do, and said that her parents died early, and there was only one widow sister in her mother's family.

Changtai and Lin are also accompanied by teenagers, although Lin was jealous in the early years, in the end, there is affection, over the years, Lin has become more and more peaceful, plus the recent palace has been pregnant news one after another, Zhaohua main hall is lonely and not lonely, Changtai's heart is soft, although she is still a little hesitant about the candidate she asked for the successor, but called Xu who is also in Zhaohua Palace to ask, how do you know that Xu's arrival, busy kneeling down and saying that his status is humble, he rashly asked to raise the prince, and it was not in line with the courtesy, but it was the queen mother and Changtai's extra kindness, Now that Ganmei is getting older, she feels more and more that she doesn't know how to teach, and if Concubine De doesn't give up, she can't ask for it.

Ganmei, who was summoned, also changed her name to the latter's mother under the urging of Xu's and Concubine De's expectations, and just like that, Changtai gave the matter in a daze. When the queen mother knew the next day, she only frowned, although there was no official decree in the palace now, but Concubine De seemed to have regarded herself as the mother of the fourth prince, and a few days ago she sent the head of the internal supervision of Zhaohua Palace to go to the study in person, and reprimanded some of the masters who had despised Ganmei in the past, especially the master who taught Ganmei to shoot salutes, was kicked several times by the father-in-law, and scolded the person for looking down on people and despising the prince.

Now the people around Ganmei have all taken on a new look, and even the masters in the upper study have all changed, and they don't dare to snub this Fourth Highness anymore. Concubine De was the one who dared to slap Concubine Shen Shu, who was born in Xiliang Shen in public, and the adopted son under her name, who dared not serve carefully?

Even the Third Highness Gan Tang is much more polite now that he has seen Ganmei.

Concubine Shen Shufei has been gritting her teeth for a long time for this matter, but she also understands that the general trend has gone, and Ganmei is also the grandson of the Queen Mother, of course the Queen Mother hopes that her grandson can live well, and Ganmei has a future under the name of Xu's name as well as Concubine De...... As for Princess Rongshou, it's not that Concubine Shen Shu is willing to leave this princess in Zhaohua Palace, after all, no matter how humble Rongshou's biological mother is, she is the only princess in the palace, unique, and always much more noble.

But this princess was brought up by the Xu family and Ganmei, in addition to these two in the palace, she was more affectionate to the queen mother who had hurt her a lot in recent years, not to mention taking her away from the Xu family and Ganmei, as far as Shen Shufei knew, she just called a grandmother in front of her, and the princess immediately cried to death, and the surprised Xu family was busy inviting Yu Taiqi, and someone told Concubine De that she called back Ganmei from the upper study, and Zhaohua Palace was busy, and Concubine De found out that it was the grandmother who was mouthy, and she was dragged outside and killed on the spot! Afterwards, he also complained fiercely in front of Changtai, and the words were that Shen Shufei stimulated the princess, causing Gan Tang to be angry, and a few days ago Changtai reprimanded him for not seeking progress, and he lost his temper for a long time when he went to Yongxin Palace to ask for peace.

After Concubine Shen finished speaking, the Queen Mother frowned, and said after a while: "Then stay first, there are many things at the end of the year, and we will talk about it when spring begins." ”

Concubine Shen Shufei heard that the Queen Mother didn't seem to approve of this, but since the Queen Mother said that she was going to discuss it again in the spring, her heart was slightly relieved, and she had a lot of things on her hands now, and she couldn't sit still like before, so she retired.

Concubine Shu just got up, but outside she told her that Changtai was coming. Because of the matter of Qiu Di, Changtai was busy with political affairs for several days, and he was not free to come to the Detai Hall to ask for peace, and suddenly came today, the Queen Mother was a little surprised, and said: "Please!" ”

Concubine Shu had no choice but to sit back and prepare to meet her.

When Changtai came in, his face was a little dignified and tired, obviously because he was tired of dealing with political affairs for days, Zhang An persisted in brushing the dust and followed behind him, and came in to salute the Queen Mother first, Danzhu and others avoided to the side, and waited for the Queen Mother to exempt Changtai's salute, and then stepped forward to salute together, Changtai said casually: "Flat, you all go down, I have something to say to the queen mother." ”

Su Ruhui guessed that it should be a political matter, but the biggest thing now should be Qiu Di, and I don't know if something happened to Princess Guangyi and her party? She thought about going out of the palace with everyone, Concubine Shen Shu was going to be busy, and the three of Danzhu went to Dongnuan Pavilion to take refuge temporarily, and after a while, Changtai left early, and then went in to accompany the Queen Mother.

Entering the East Nuan Pavilion, he beckoned people to send in a few pots of charcoal: "The queen mother's small kitchen has made a new chicken soup, and the slave maid will go and get some for the county lord and young lady to use some warmth." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." Danzhu and the others hurriedly thanked her with a smile, and said with a smile: "That's the Queen Mother's thing, the slave maid is just casually talking, and the Queen Mother is also the Queen Mother who hurts the county lord and the two young ladies, otherwise, the slave and maid don't dare to be this master!" ”

It didn't take long for the hot chicken soup to be served, Danzhu asked the eldest Zhou Yi'er to take it first, and then Su Ruhui, as the county lord, was the last to take it, Su Ruhui smiled and said: "You think about the order of the young and the old, but let us be respectful and inferior." ”

Danzhu was about to answer, but when he saw Zhou Yi'er with a cold face and didn't speak, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and whispered, "Sister Zhou, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"It's a cold day, it's cold from the outside to the inside, and it's cold to the heart, it's no wonder that I'll be comfortable!" Zhou Yi'er said in a weird way, Danzhu was a little embarrassed when she heard what she said, Su Ruhua said as if nothing happened: "Sister Zhou didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

In this way, the atmosphere between the three of them, which was at least polite, was destroyed cleanly, and they were not to say anything more.

After using the chicken soup, I sat quietly for a while, and the sleeve incense came back to pass the message of the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have important matters to discuss, and you don't need to be accompanied by the county lord and ladies for dinner tonight, and the Queen Mother tells you to go back to your residence early, so as not to be dark and cold." ”
