A few days later, taking advantage of the good weather and the middle of the court to rest, Su Zhiming and the county lord accompanied Su Heng into the garden.

Su Heng has been bored at home recently.

His son has become a senior official and is the youngest cabinet minister in the cabinet, but now he has a faint posture of being the master of the cabinet, and he is the second young chief assistant in the court-

The first is Ji Yushen back then, who is also a native of Lingnan.

It's a good thing that his son is a big official, but his father, a big official, doesn't have the mentality of showing off his might when he first entered the capital, he is only afraid that he will go out to socialize and accidentally cause trouble for his son.

The bigger the official does, the more people will come to the door to curry favor, and naturally, there are many people who are jealous and envious behind their backs.

Su Heng is very afraid of causing trouble to his promising son, so he rarely goes out to drink tea and play chess with the old ladies of other families recently, and he is so bored that he stays at home.

Only the occasional teasing of his grandson can make him happy.

But the grandson is too young, and he is afraid that he will often ask the nurse to tease the child and make the child hurt the wind, so he only teases the child with a cup of tea every two days.

It's good to be in the Imperial Garden now.

People from other families have ulterior motives, but the Queen Mother naturally will not harm their father and son.

As soon as Su Heng entered the garden, even his waist straightened up a lot, and the county lord secretly looked at it and gave Su Zhiming a look.

Su Zhiming could see what she meant.

He had to tell Su Youyi that it would be best for Su Youyi to call his father into the garden from time to time, thinking about this little thing, Su Youyi would not disagree.

Duofu led the way in front of him, and when he entered a heavy door, he turned around and smiled: "The old lady is afraid that she is tired of walking, so why don't you take a sedan chair?" ”

After that, he pointed to the sedan chair that followed all the way behind.

Su Heng turned around.

This sedan chair was greeted by Duofu outside the main gate of the Imperial Garden, only to see the carriage of Sufu coming, Duofu invited him to get on the sedan chair and enter the garden, saying that it was the grace of the Queen Mother.

But Su Heng felt that it was too ostentatious and refused to sit alive, so the four eunuchs who carried the sedan chair had to follow behind their buttocks.

Seeing that Su Heng was a little tired at this time, Duofu mentioned it again.

I didn't want Su Heng to wave his hand, and said to Duofu with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't be polite, although I am old, I can still hold up these few steps." I used to be a plain-headed common man who used to beg for a living in the countryside, how far has the mountain road not been walked? ”

He pointed to the scenery he saw along the way, it was late autumn, but the pavilions and pavilions in the imperial garden were not inferior at all.

There are also some evergreen trees and branches in the garden, which are carefully cultivated by craftsmen in a furnace so that they can bloom in cold weather.

"It's a pity if I don't see such a beautiful scenery while sitting in a sedan chair."

Duofu said with a smile: "After the old Su Ge entered the cabinet, the queen mother awarded the eldest a grade of purple gold Guanglu doctor, and posthumously awarded the first old lady a grade of the lady, how can it be said that it is a flat-headed people?" ”

"As for the scenery of the Imperial Garden, it is actually more beautiful in spring and summer. It's just that at that time, the concubines were busy moving the cages from the palace, and the queen mother's residence was also being repaired, and the garden was too chaotic, so the queen mother didn't bother to invite the old man to enjoy the scenery. ”

"Now it's all done, I'm afraid that after a few days, the first snow will come, and the Queen Mother will invite the old man into the garden to enjoy the snow!"

Everyone laughed when they said this.

Su Zhiming supported Su Heng on the one hand, and said to Duofu on the other: "The Queen Mother has been busy supporting the emperor to preside over the government all these years, and she is really tired. Finally, I was able to take a little rest this year, so that I could enjoy the leisure and enjoy it in the garden. ”

Duofu walked all the way forward and replied, "Isn't it? The slave was waiting by the Queen Mother's side, and he also felt that the Queen Mother had worked too hard in the past few years. The queen mother often talks about her family when she is free, why does Su Ge often take the county lord and the little boy to accompany the old man to talk to the queen mother, and the slave is inexplicably grateful! ”

The county lord was holding a child no more than a month old in his arms, and the child was lying in swaddling clothes and wrapped tightly.

His name was solemnly raised by Su Zhiming after rummaging through Chu Ci, called Su Guanfang, and it was taken from the sentence "Suddenly looking back to wander around, you will look at the four wildernesses".

The magnanimity can be seen.

After a short time, Duofu led the family to the courtyard by the lake.

Because it was quite cool in autumn, especially by the lake, the gazebo that Su Youyi liked to sit in on weekdays was empty, and she was not there.

Su Heng and the others were about to go in, when they suddenly saw a sick and crooked lady who looked like a noble lady being helped out by two palace maids, and hurriedly stopped.

He and Su Zhiming glanced at each other, the latter was only devoted to the affairs of the court, and he didn't know this sick and crooked woman.

However, the county lord took a second look and frowned slightly.

The woman approached, looked up, and then noticed that there was someone in front of her, and stood still holding the maid's hand.

I saw a pale face smeared with powder and rouge, but it looked like a mask, and the woman's sickness could not be covered by rouge and gouache.

She glanced at the county lord and saw the swaddling baby of the little doll in her arms, and she immediately understood the relationship between this group of people.

Duofu personally went out to greet him, and the sedan chair was still following outside the courtyard, so he was naturally an extremely noble person.

She bowed slightly, which was considered a salute, "It turns out that the old Su Ge family is here, and they are bringing their children to see the Queen Mother?" This must be an old lady, rude. ”

Su Hengzheng didn't know who the other party was and how to greet him, so he heard the county lord laugh softly: "It turned out to be Concubine Jue." The concubine had been recuperating in the palace before, when did she move into the garden? ”

Tortoise Princess?

Su Heng thought about it, and soon understood that this woman was the daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan back then, and the cousin of the emperor's mother today.

This tortoise concubine has always been not on good terms with Su Youyi, and she has been scheming against Su Youyi in the past, but now she has no competition, a few days ago, the only thing she was left in the palace was passed on as a joke, and Su Heng also vaguely heard it.

Because he had the title of Doctor Zijin Guanglu, and because he hated such people who were hostile to Su Youyi, he just bowed his hand and made a salute.

Concubine Ju smiled weakly and looked at the county lord, "My illness is getting worse day by day, and the noble concubine is a person who has not succeeded, where do you remember me?" But I tried my best to get my mother's family to beg the queen mother, and the queen mother was the master, so she took me out of the palace. ”

The county lord was secretly speechless.

She knew what kind of character Concubine Yan was, but she didn't expect her to hate Concubine Ling so much, and she refused to accept Concubine Ying to the garden after so long.

If it weren't for Su Youyi's mercy, I was afraid that her little life would be confessed to the palace.

The county lord looked embarrassed, "I think the concubine forgot it for a while, but there are also some of them." However, the concubine said that she would let her mother's family come to beg the queen mother ......"

Who else is in the tortoise princess's mother's family?

is from her mother's family, and Su Youyi is willing to give this face?
