At the beginning of the morning sun, the forest garden is purple and red, and the clothes are fragrant and the temples are curling.

The queen mother and queen took the phoenix, and the concubines above the fifth rank took the sedan chair, and the rest walked to it. When they arrived at Shanglin Yuan, the Queen Mother ordered to go down, and Queen Zhou also followed and personally put her arm around the Queen Mother, and on the other side were Huo Qinglian and Danzhu.

Dan Zhu is dying of age, I don't know if it is because of walking with Huo Qinglian, he is wearing very light, but he wears a goose yellow half-arm with a light blue pleated skirt and a gold ring in his hair.

And Huo Qinglian is a rose-colored skirt, covered with moon-white half arms, girdle gilt cloud belt, a pair of silk shoes slightly exposed under the skirt, a pair of fluffy balls sewn on it, full of green silk and high pulls, obliquely inserted a butterfly wearing a peony hairpin, a string of beaded shells fell from the peony stamens, just fell on her sideburns, and helped the Queen Mother to stand among the flowers.

Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er arrived early, and knelt down with the concubines at this moment to salute the queen mother and the queen, and the queen mother waved her hand kindly and shouted, "Today, the mourning family passed on you to come, because I feel that the flowers in Shanglin Yuan are blooming very well, so I asked everyone to come and see, don't be restrained, if anyone has good skills, you might as well perform it, if it is good, the mourning family and the queen have rewards." ”

"The queen mother is helping everyone to get a reward!" Empress Zhou smiled and played, "Sisters have to be dedicated, and there are a few young ladies." ”

"Obey the decree of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!" Everyone said in unison, and then they hugged the Queen Mother to enjoy it along the way.

Zhou Yi'er held Su Ruhua's hand, walked in the middle of the team, and suddenly pouted, "Ruhua, you see!" ”

Su Ruhui looked in the direction she was looking at, but it was a somewhat lonely crimson figure, slender and charming, combing a flying fairy bun, scratching her head with a dragonfly lotus style, holding a few silk flowers, holding the hand of the palace maid and walking slowly, looking at Huo Qi beside the Queen Mother from time to time.

"Lord Huaizhen didn't come?" Su Ruhui recognized that it was Zhang Xuan, since Song Caisu was repatriated to the family, she was the only girl in the Weiyang Palace, so she got closer and closer to the county lord Huaizhen who often entered the palace.

"Probably not, I guess I'm making some kind of mystery!" Zhou Yi'er sneered, she originally had no hatred with Huaizhen, but when the eldest princess Guangyi had not yet been officially canonized, the harem thought that the queen mother and Changtai intended to abolish the queen, rumors spread everywhere, and some people had ulterior motives and secretly added fuel to the fire, which made the Zhou family very panicked.

Later, the dust of the canonization of the eldest princess Guangyi settled, and the queen mother personally decided the matter of the six palaces, and the rumors after the abolition gradually stopped. The matter of the war, the queen mother and Changtai did not want to make the matter of the six palaces affect the government of the previous dynasty, so the Zhou family had to swallow it secretly, but since then Zhou Yier has no good impression of the county lord of Huaizhen, and the two met by chance and stabbed each other from time to time.

Although the county lord of Huaizhen is the canonized county lord, Zhou Yi'er has no grade, but the latter is raised by the queen mother's side, and the county lord of Huaizhen suffered from Su Ruhui in his early years, and he did not dare to go too far.

As for Zhang Huan, it was because of the white jade golden ginseng that he almost officially turned his face with the Zhou family. Even the Wudehou Mansion was complained about this matter, and it was also because of the north. For the sake of the war, the Queen Mother personally came forward to order Mrs. Changyang County not to be entangled. After Zhang Huan fell into the lake, because he was finally rescued, the injury was extremely serious, Changtai was still a girl who was beginning to show charm and good health, because of the wind chill caused by falling into the lake, it almost turned into tuberculosis, fortunately in the north. The felling went smoothly, Dayong got a lot of precious medicinal materials from Beirong, and the Queen Mother deliberately sent back a white jade golden ginseng with an emergency of 800 miles, so that she was rescued from danger.

But Zhang Huan has become frail and sick since then, and she fell ill at both ends in three days, and Queen Zhou even specially transferred a medical woman to serve her, because of this matter, there are often filthy disputes between Wei Yuanbo and Wu Dehou, and it is impossible for Su Ruhui to meet and talk with Zhang Huan kindly, but in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress, the two of them are regarded as strangers, and there will be no conflict.

"Why bother with her? You see, the flowers are really blooming today. Su Ruhui glanced at Zhang Yingjiao's timid back, turned her head with a smile, and said.

"Yes." Zhou Yi'er nodded, and the two of them concentrated on admiring the flowers in the forest garden, and in the middle Zhou Yi'er took a fancy to a hexagonal red, and the layers of pink petals were blooming, and the branches were slightly bent, she looked at it nostalgically for a long time, and Su Ruhui pushed her and said, "What's the hurry?" After a while, the Queen Mother will ask someone to perform skills, if you get the lottery, ask the Queen Mother to go to Lumingtai. ”

"If you get it, you can help me too." Zhou Yi'er said.

"You are from the Zhou family, where can't you get a leader in poetry?" Su Ruhui said with a smile.

How do you know that Zhou Yi'er said with a straight face: "It's not six years ago, there is only one concubine in the palace who is famous for her talent, Jing Jieyu, who entered the palace in the twenty-seventh year of Changtai, Liu Xiurong, who was hired in the twenty-eighth year of Changtai, and An Baolin, who was drafted into the palace in the thirty-year year of Changtai. are all talented people, how can they let go of the days when they stand out in front of the Queen Mother today? ”

"Oh? There are so many talented women in the harem? Su Ruhua was surprised.

"Then An Baolin is still the Duke of Suguo......" Zhou Yi'er's voice did not fall, but he heard someone in front of him tell him that the prince and several princes came to greet the queen mother, and they were outside Shanglin Yuan at the moment.

The Queen Mother said: "It's all your own family, what are you waiting outside?" Come in. ”

The crown prince Gan Lin is the eldest son, and now he is sixteen years old, the so-called fifteen bundles of hair, if it is an ordinary prince, he should leave the capital at this age, and it is naturally not suitable to meet the concubine again.

However, it is one thing to have the Empress Dowager Jiayi here, and after a while, Gan Lin carried the second prince Gan Ran, the third prince Gan Tang, and the fifth prince Gan Pei in his hands. The four princes fell a few steps behind them, but the four princes were luscious, holding a little girl about two or three years old in their hands, this girl was extremely delicate, but there was a cower hidden in her big eyes, and it seemed that it was the first time to attend so many occasions, and she was very afraid of life.

This girl is the only princess in the palace now Rong Shou, born in the twenty-ninth year of Changtai, the biological mother is a lady, she died of dystocia when she gave birth, because the princess in the palace has not been able to raise, the concubines are not very afraid to take over, Princess Rongshou is from a humble background, not enough for the queen mother to raise, and finally Xu Cairen took the initiative to take over this errand.

Princess Rongshou, like her adoptive mother and fourth brother, has been silent in the palace, and if she hadn't appeared on this occasion, few people would have remembered who she was.

"Rong Shou is here too?" The Queen Mother took a look, and suddenly showed a sincere smile, speaking from the heart, the Queen Mother values the most is of course the emperor and grandson, but now there are six royal grandsons in the palace, but there is only this one princess, naturally the princess is more noble, but the Queen Mother has personally raised Princess Le'an to the age of twelve, but unfortunately died unexpectedly, to Princess Rongshou here, it is inevitable that there are some things to think about, often have rewards sent to Xu's place, but do not often call Rongshou to meet.

Now that I saw her unexpectedly here, I liked it very much, and even became gentle to Lumei, and beckoned: "Xiaosi brought my sister to the mourning family to see." Saying that, he asked Huo Qinglian to remove his armor for himself, so as not to hurt Princess Rongshou.

"Rongshou, please say hello to the imperial grandmother!" Lunan took a few steps forward, put Princess Rongshou on the ground, and coaxed softly.

Princess Rongshou glanced at the Queen Mother a little timidly, and was pushed and urged by the fourth brother a few times before she made a salute, and said in a milky voice: "The emperor, the emperor's grandmother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

"Good boy, come to the Imperial Grandmother!" The Queen Mother was very happy and motioned for her to come closer to her, but Princess Rongshou first looked back at Lumei, and when she saw him nodding, she took a few steps closer and arrived in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother picked her up and weighed her, and said with pity: "This child is much younger than Gan Peidang, Xu Cairen is so dedicated to raising her, but he still has some lack of bones." Xu Cairen in the crowd hurriedly came out to ask for guilt.

Queen Zhou was afraid that the Queen Mother would think of Le An and the princesses who died before, so she hurriedly interrupted; "Gan Pei is greedy, and the daughter-in-law looks at the princess's ruddy face, presumably because of the girl, she looks thin, but her muscles and bones are not bad."

The Queen Mother was told by her, took a closer look, and found that Princess Rongshou's face was really white and red, and she pinched her cheek with satisfaction and said, "Xu, you really put your heart into it!" ”

Xu Cairen knelt down to thank him, and said: "It is all the blessings of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and the concubines dare not take credit." ”

"It's not easy for you to raise this child, and you have to take care of Lumei, what Rong Shou looked like when he was born, the mourning family knows very well, it's really hard to raise such a child." The Queen Mother saw Rong Shou's gaze fall on her wrist, and took off a jade bracelet for her to play with, and said.

Xu Cairen hurriedly kowtowed, and he was humble.

Xu's attitude made the Queen Mother very satisfied, Queen Zhou observed her words, approached the Queen Mother and whispered a few words, the Queen Mother nodded slightly, and let Xu's go down, but handed Princess Rongshou to Sleeve Xiang to hold.

At this time, Gan Lin waited for the prince to come over, and said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother saw Rongshou, but she left us aside!" ”

Gan Tang has been used to being coquettish with the Queen Mother since he was a child, and pretended to complain: "Doesn't the imperial grandmother love Gantang anymore?" ”

The queen mother was very happy, and was amused by the emperors and grandchildren, and first said to Gan Lin: "They are all people who discuss politics in the last dynasty, do you still want to fight with your sister for such an idea?" He pointed to Gan Tang and said to Shen Shufei, "Concubine Shu didn't come out to say a fair word?" Is the mourning family still less painful? This son actually ate the vinegar of Rongshou, your sister is young, and she is the only princess in the palace, is it possible that a group of men will compete with her? ”

The queen and the concubines were all snickering, but they saw a figure rushing over, hugging the queen mother's legs, and almost didn't take the queen mother back, so frightened that the queen and Huo Qinglian hurriedly helped the queen mother, Queen Zhou looked at it, but it was her young son Gan Pei who caused trouble, and couldn't help but annoyed: "What are you messing about!" Anxia took him out and grounded him for a month! Punish copying the Book of Filial Piety five times! ”

Gan Pei heard the grievances and said: "Pei'er hasn't seen the emperor's grandmother for a long time......"

Queen Zhou wanted to say more, but the Queen Mother had already waved her hands and laughed: "What is the Queen afraid of?" Could it be that the mourning family will still talk about this idea with their grandchildren? Pei'er is young, has the queen forgotten how naughty Ran'er and Tang'er were at his age? At that time, the six palaces were worried when they saw them! ”

The Queen Mother said that Gan Ran and Gan Tang were used to it since they were children, but they just smiled together, and the mothers of the two, Huo Guifei and Shen Shufei, invariably Feixia on their cheeks, were extremely embarrassed.
