Since the Queen Mother's health has improved, this is the first time Zhao Mingxu has seen her.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." Zhao Mingxu saluted respectfully.

"Get up and sit down." The Queen Mother was still leaning on the couch and said lightly.

Fu'an then moved a low stool to wait for Zhao Mingxu to take a seat: "The queen mother's body is better?" ”

"Imperial Doctor Luo has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and the medicines sent by the emperor are also valuable", the Queen Mother still had a tepid tone, "It's just that no matter how good the medicine is, it can cure the disease, but it can't cure the heart." ”

Zhao Mingxu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said: "The queen mother still remembers that when she was a child, her son was sick and didn't want to drink medicine, so the queen mother made candied fruit and coaxed her son to drink medicine. ”

The queen was slightly moved, and opened her mouth as if she had a lot to say, but in the end there was only one sentence left: "Now, you have grown up." ”

"No matter how old a son grows up, the queen mother will always be the queen mother." Zhao Mingxu said.

"You ......" The Queen Mother seemed to have something to say, but she didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Mingxu glanced at Fu'an, who was waiting, and lowered his eyes and said, "If the queen mother has anything to say, just ask, my son will never hide it." ”

Fu'an then quietly retreated, and even the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing in the hall also called out, guarding the door from afar, not allowing anyone to approach.

The room was quiet for a moment, and the Queen Mother exhaled a breath of turbidity, and finally asked the words that had been lingering in her heart for a long time: "The first emperor has passed away, but ...... you?" ”

"Yes", Zhao Mingxu replied without the slightest evasion.

The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, as if a heavy hammer had been smashed, although she had already guessed, but when she heard Zhao Mingxu admit it in person, she couldn't help but tremble: "But, he is your own brother." ”

Looking at such a queen mother, she is far from the mother in his memory, the years are ruthless, and the beautiful and kind mother who left her memory when she was a child is old after all. Zhao Mingxu pursed the corners of his lips and said calmly: "Although the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time and does not ask about the world, what happens outside can't escape your ears, how the imperial brother has treated me all these years, isn't it clear to the queen mother?" ”

The Queen Mother was like a deflated ball in an instant, excited and trembling ceased to exist, only her eyes were full of coldness: "The mourning family knows that he can't stop you." ”

"Our brothers, we have long been incompatible", Zhao Mingxu's eyes were distant and decisive, "From the moment he decided to kill me, from the moment he and Jia Qiao'er received it privately, from the moment he killed Commander Xiao and drove me down from the crown prince's position, between our brothers, it is destined to be a death and death." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned and speechless, until a mourning overflowed, and the old man who was close to the sixtieth year burst into tears: "It's all to blame for the mourning family, it was the mourning family who did evil in the previous life, and it ended up killing parents and children in this life, it's all blamed on the mourning family!" ”

"Queen Mother......" Zhao Mingxu knelt down before the Queen Mother collapsed, "My son knows that you blame me in your heart, but it's not me, it's the imperial brother, if it's the imperial brother who kneels in front of you today, what should you do?" ”

If the eldest son kills the younger son, the queen mother falls into a desperate conjecture, I am afraid that she will be even more sad at that time and will not be able to forgive the eldest son.

"Xu'er ......" The trembling hands of the Queen Mother gently stroked Zhao Mingxu's cheeks, and the pampered whiteness and the thinness of the young sixtieth appeared on the same pair of hands at the same time, which made Zhao Mingxu, a son of man, feel quite sad.

"Queen Mother", Zhao Mingxu held his mother's hand and said softly, "Although the imperial brother is gone, the crown prince is fine, and the son will give him a stable and prosperous second half of his life." ”

"You, are you really willing?" The Queen Mother was a little uneasy, after all, the battle for the throne is very dangerous, if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles.

"Chen'er hurt his head, and now his intelligence is like a child, let him live his life so innocently." Zhao Mingxu got up and returned to his seat, "The retainer plans to give him a knighthood and another house, and if the imperial sister-in-law is willing, she can also go out of the palace to live together." ”

The Queen Mother tried the teardrops in the corners of her eyes and said with emotion: "I think she is willing." ”

"Queen Mother, you also have to take care of your body." Zhao Mingxu said again.

The Queen Mother nodded, her mood had gradually calmed down, and her heart knots had been untied a lot.

The mother and son didn't say anything else, Zhao Mingxu said that the previous dynasty was busy, and soon got up to say goodbye.

Today's emperor and the queen mother's mother and son are considered a breakthrough progress, and Zhao Mingxu will come to ask for peace in the future, and the mother and son can also talk calmly, but if they want to return to the way before, I am afraid it is no longer possible.

The days passed quickly, and when it was close to the end of the year, Biluozhai was also arranged, and Liuli took Zhao Mingxu to visit, and the man also felt very good.

The pattern of Biluo Zhai has not moved, if in the current words, the glass is interested in "soft decoration".

On the delicate wooden double bed, it is a duvet newly made by the Inner Court Division, and from entering the palace to the present, three sets have been made, and it is finally Liuli's turn.

The bed tent is two layers inside and outside, the first layer of light yarn is hazy when put down, quite a bit dreamy, and the outer layer is slightly thicker, which is better for shading.

A room next to the bedroom,Let the glass be changed into a cloakroom,In the wooden cabinet that runs through the whole room,Rows of clothes hung with glass,Dressers and jewelry on one side,Liuli also made people stand a dressing mirror,Although it is not as clear as in the previous life,But it's still no problem to shine on the figure.。

Because the whole Biluozhai is Liuli living alone, there will be no one else in the future, and the east and west wings are also used by her, one of which has been converted into a study, and the other is a reception room.

In addition to the ear room where people live, large and small rooms are called glazed according to different purposes, and there is even an activity room, which has no furniture, but is covered with a thick carpet, and there are many down soft pillows thrown on it, and you can come to roll and take a nap in your spare time.

In the small kitchen, many new cooking utensils have been added according to Liuli's requirements.

Looking at it all the way, Zhao Mingxu felt quite relieved in her heart, seeing that Liuli was so carefully arranged, she really regarded this place as her home.

"Well, not bad." Liuli asked a little proudly.

Zhao Mingxu nodded: "That's good, but the reception room and study are a little empty, so I'll ask someone to send some things for you." ”

"Do you want to give me those precious things that will break when you touch them?" Liuli pursed her lips disdainfully, indicating that she didn't want it.

"If it is broken, I will go to my treasury to choose", but Zhao Mingxu was quite insistent, "It is not decent to be so empty." ”

"Okay", Liuli compromised, anyway, this Biluozhai is in Liuli's heart, and there is half of Zhao Mingxu.

Just like the cloakroom, the glass is only half used, leaving a general space, which is for him.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Xie Chun entered the palace and sent many things in response to Wei Zizhi's entrustment.

At the end of each year, Wei Zi, Zhou Shopkeeper and Xiaoshu will each present the year's accounts and silver taels, and Liuli will deposit the silver taels into the money bank after confirming that the accounts are correct.

In addition, the shopkeeper will also give the owner a New Year's gift, and the owner will give the shopkeeper and a group of guys New Year's Day red envelopes.

This year, Shopkeeper Zhou and Xiaoshu were far away in Xingping, there were corals to deal with, and Liuli didn't need to worry about it, but Wei Zi's things were directly sent to the palace by Xie Chun.

The profit of Shangjing for a year is very considerable, Wei Zi has already exchanged it for a silver ticket, and when it was sent to Liuli, she was stunned, this is less than a year, and the profit of Shangjing Rouge Pavilion is more than twice the profit of Xingping Rouge Pavilion in a year.

Liuli took out a few hundred taels, and asked Xie Chun to exchange them for gold and silver nudes, and kept them for the New Year's Festival.

In addition to the silver money, Wei Zi also sent a lot of lipsticks in, a complete set of lipsticks from the Rouge Pavilion, all kinds of colors, which were specially handed over by Liuli and sent by Wei Zi.

There is no other reason, Liuli looked at the girls around her who liked lipstick, and even had a little wave because of this matter, although she had dealt with it at the time, but she wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Festival to give each of them one.

Things have to start with the peach lipstick she gave them.

The peach is a character who can't hide things, and when he gets good things, he won't hide them, so he must share them with his good sisters.

She got lipstick on the first day, and on the second day, the whole palace knew it, Ziyue Lanxin and they were envious, and the peach generously said that she could lend it to them to use together, Lanxin happily accepted it, Ziyue because her skin was wheat-colored, and she was a little rustic with pink lipstick, she tried it once, and then she stopped using it.

Zhixia doesn't care on the surface, but he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, if only Zhiya is down, but why is the peach?

"Is it because she's stupid enough to please the girl?" Zhixia pouted and said to Zhiqiu.

Of the four personal palace maids of the "Zhi" descendants, only Zhiqiu has no lipstick like her, so Zhixia naturally divided Zhiqiu into an alliance.

However, although Zhiqiu doesn't like to talk, she is also a clear person, and she doesn't have much desire for these things.

"Don't say that", Zhiqiu is quite consoling, "It is also her ability to make the girl happy." ”

"Cut", Zhixia was quite disdainful, and pulled Zhiqiu to say, "You said that if you talk about intimacy, we are the same as Zhi Tao who serve the girl closely, in terms of doing things, are we worse than Zhi Tao?" Why did the girl only reward her and not the two of us? ”

Zhixia's words are a little out of proportion, as slaves and maids, they naturally take whatever the master rewards, where is there a reason to talk about beaks.

Although there are some small sexual concerns on weekdays, but it is not enough to say such unmeasured words, I think it is because the girl is too lenient on weekdays, and the summer of pampering does not know the severity.

"Is that what we can say? Summer, you don't have to forget who you are. Zhiqiu said with a bit of seriousness.

Identity.

- Zhixia's face burned red all of a sudden, thinking that she was just a palace maid, although she had reached this level, but she also looked at the scenery on the surface, in fact, what is the difference between her and those lowly women?

"You just said me, isn't Zhitao also presumptuous and bold on weekdays? I didn't see the girl angry", Zhixia gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that she still got this lipstick from the girl herself?" ”

"Who did you listen to?" Autumn didn't quite believe it.

"Who else but herself", Zhixia mocked, "It can be seen how eccentric our girls are." ”

Zhiqiu stopped talking, she felt that Zhixia's thoughts in recent days were a little extreme, and she persuaded her but didn't listen, Zhiqiu didn't want to be classified as "us" by Zhixia, and she deliberately avoided Zhixia in the future.

Zhixia was naturally able to detect it, and secretly mocked her for being stupid in her heart, and became more and more dissatisfied with Zhi Tao, and even more and more resentment towards Liuli's partiality.

There are many such emotions, and it is inevitable that they will not be expressed in their words and deeds on weekdays.

Zhiya was the first to find out, and said Zhixia twice in private, but she was scolded back by a few words, so she no longer persuaded her.

It wasn't until the emperor came over one time and finished dinner with Liuli and the two of them, and Zhixia made tea and served it, Zhao Mingxu took a sip and his face sank: "Who made this tea?" ”

Zhixia was a spirit, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply: "It was made by a slave maid." ”

"Are you here to make tea all the time, or are you only making it this time today?" Zhao Mingxu asked again.

Zhixia quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Liuli, and saw that she was playing with the teacup without a match, as if she hadn't noticed the movement here, so she had to lower her head and said in fear: "Slave maid...... I've been in charge of making tea. ”

"If that's the case, then it's not like I wronged you", Zhao Mingxu said lightly, "Come on, pull down the cane and punish twenty." ”

Zhixia was anxious all of a sudden, knelt down with a puff, and defended in a trembling voice: "The slave and maid don't know what mistake they have made, which has made Your Majesty unhappy, but please spare the slave and maid for the sake of our girl." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhiya's face changed first, and Zhao Mingxu only snorted coldly: "It's not good to be on an errand, but your mouth is sharp, if you really don't know what you've done wrong, why don't you go into the Shenshen Criminal Division and think about it?" ”

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! Zhixia was so frightened that the flowers were discolored, and they kowtowed again and again to ask for sin, "The slave knows that it is wrong, the slave knows that it is wrong, the slave and the maid are not careful about making tea, and they did not grasp the time for a while, and the tea has been placed for a long time, so the taste has changed, please forgive your majesty." ”

"Isn't that clear?" Zhao Mingxu said leisurely, "Come on, drag it down." ”

"Yes." Xiao Luzi beckoned, and immediately two little eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right, came to pull Zhixia's arm.

Although she doesn't need to enter the Shen Punishment Division again, it is not so easy to be punished with a cane, not to mention that she has made His Majesty unhappy this time, and the eunuch in charge of the punishment will not be soft.

"Girl!" Zhixia turned her gaze to Liuli, "Girl, please save the slave!" Girl......"

Liuli never looked up, and let the little eunuch drag people away.

In the house, Zhao Mingxu asked Zhiya: "Does your girl always drink such tea?" "It's cold and bitter, and this fine tea has been wasted in vain.

"It's not like this every day," Zhiya said, "Today is what Your Majesty happened to meet." ”

Zhao Mingxu smiled: "It's not easy to meet today." He glanced at Liuli, and said a little helplessly: "The subordinates can't use it, and if you send it away, why do you want to teach her through my hand like this?" ”
