About the sunset was like fire, and at the beginning of the day, Mama Ye came over and said: "The emperor is busy in the Chunhui Palace, and he will come over after dinner." ”

Su Lian responded lightly and said, "Then let's pass the meal." ”

Xuan Ye didn't come to eat, so he kept it simple, only put it on the small table on the couch, as usual, a bowl of warm bird's nest chicken soup was appetizing, a basket of shark fin crystal wraps were small and transparent, pear slices with steamed civet cats were small and delicious, the five-spiced prawns of Shouzi were beautiful and attractive, the jade shoots and bracken were extremely tender, the pearl tofu was smooth and smooth, and a plate of exquisite bergamot gold rolls, a plate of golden wood rhino cake, a plate of persimmon frosted gummies, and a plate of milky white grapes were hearty in Su Curtain.

Asked the dining room to steam a bowl of tender egg custard, and Su Lian carefully fed it to the little monkey with a small spoon, although he had not yet grown teeth, he could eat such a soft thing. The little monkey has a very good appetite, and he puffs up his cheeks, and after a while he will open his mouth and eat again.

For children who are three or four months old, it's time to add complementary foods. At this time, eggs are pure natural food, the yolk is bright and pleasant, and the taste is also very delicious, just a simple egg custard, except for a little salt, there is nothing else, but it is so tender and attractive, it can be seen that the ingredients are good. Su Lian also tasted it, and felt that the eggs seemed to taste better than the usual ones.

Sixi replied: "This is the egg of the white-feathered pheasant, although it is small, it is very delicious!" ”

Su Lian had already heard the sound of Sixi swallowing saliva...... I can't help but laugh secretly, this girl is a gluttonous girl.

When Xuan Ye came over, the little monkey had already eaten and drunk enough and fell asleep, and asked the nurse to take care of it, so he took Xuan Ye to the bedroom, held a cup of boiled milk tea to him, and said casually: "Recently, there seems to be a lot of food in the government." ”

Xuan Ye lowered his head and took a sip, and only said, "It's about the ban on the Southeast Sea...... The argument is endless! As he spoke, his brows furrowed, "The sea is stormy and rough, and it was a bird boat that went out to sea." But not long ago, Mingzhu said: In addition to bird boats, there are other ships in Fujian, although they are not very large, they can also go to sea; Li Fei then said: If the ship is too small. Difficult to go to sea; Feng Pu also played: going to sea for trade is very beneficial to people's livelihood. ”

Su Lian's head was confused when he heard this, so he asked, "What is a bird boat?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled and explained, "It's 'Green Eyebrows'!" It is a sea ship in the coastal area of Zhejiang, and the bow of the ship resembles a bird's beak, so it is called a bird boat. There is a green eyebrow above the bow eye of the bird boat, hence the name green eyebrow. This kind of ship has three masts and five sails, of which the main mast is seven zhang high, and the length of the ship is ten zhang long, which is the largest kind of ship on the sea. ”

Su Lian nodded repeatedly. In fact, the sea was not completely forbidden in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is understandable that only bird ships were allowed to sail for safety reasons. Now there is an endless struggle over whether to open the sea or ban the sea. There is no doubt about it. Going to sea can make a lot of money, and now Western imported products are widely welcomed by dignitaries, so naturally there are many businessmen who want to go to sea.

In fact, the decline of the Qing Dynasty stemmed from the policy of banning the sea after the Qianlong Dynasty. Su Lian is a liberal arts student who can't even make soap, and it is obviously impossible to invent something that benefits the country and the people in this era. But he also wanted to do what he could to influence Xuan Ye, so he said: "People who go to sea are not stupid, for the sake of their own lives, they will definitely build the ship firmly!" Is there still a need to quarrel about this kind of thing? ”

Xuan Ye couldn't help but smile, "Su Su also thinks that the sea should be opened?" ”

Su Lian nodded immediately, "There is a lot of profit in going to sea." I'm afraid that a year's tax is not a small amount, and there is money to be made, so why not open the sea ban? ”

Xuan Ye smiled: "Yes, the treasury is empty right now...... That's it! Let them quarrel, just quarrel for a few days! "Say it. Then he changed the topic, lowered his head and sniffed lightly on Su Lian's shoulder, and said, "Have you been to the Shouxuanchun Yongdian?" ”

Su curtain body, dyed with the queen mother's only love of the smell of Jia Nan incense, this fragrance is long, do not go to the clothes, if you do not change clothes and wash again, you have to spend a day and a night before you can not smell. Su Lian secretly scolded the dog's nose, so he said frankly: "Where to stay for a while, the Queen Mother said a lot, meaning that she wanted to move to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother, and even Concubine Yi became a lobbyist." ”

Xuan Ye squinted his eyes slightly, revealing a few rays of cold light, and said, "Don't pay attention to it!" ”

Su Lian pouted and said, "Ignore it?" Since I said this, there is a first time, and there is a second and a third time, but I am afraid that it will be annoying! ”

Xuan Ye frowned slightly, took Su Lai's hand and sat on the bed, he gently patted the back of Su Lai's hand, and said in a low voice: "Su Su, it's not that I'm stingy...... It's—"

Xuan Ye let out a long sigh and whispered in Su Lai's ear: "My mother-in-law has not lived in Cining Palace for a day......

Su Lian immediately understood that although Empress Xiaokangzhang was Xuan Ye's biological mother, she was only the concubine of the first emperor after all, how could she compare with the Empress Dowager Borzigit of the first emperor's stepwife? Although she is the same Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a step lower than the Queen Mother. But as a son of man, Xuan Ye was unwilling to let his biological mother be inferior to his mother-in-law, even if Empress Xiaokangzhang had passed away.

"I understand......," Su Lian said quietly, "It's just the Queen Mother, and she won't die easily." After all, Cining Palace, nominally she is qualified enough to live in it, how can she be willing to be aggrieved in the Shoukang Palace of the concubines forever?

Xuan Ye sneered: "I have never treated the Queen Mother badly, I have a clear conscience!" ”

Alas, in the end, it is not the biological mother and child. Xuan Ye's filial piety to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's just brushing filial piety from her, so that everyone in the world can see his filial piety!

"She has lived in Kunning Palace for so many years, what is not satisfied! Hmph-" There is no lack of resentment in Xuan Ye's words, Kunning Palace is the residence of the mother of the country, the most noble place, and his mother has never enjoyed a day of dignity in Kunning Palace.

Su Lian smiled helplessly: "Shoukang Palace is the residence of the concubine, and it is human nature that the queen mother is unwilling to live." ”

Xuan Ye's eyes suddenly became more cold, "When I was young, the Empress Dowager repeatedly wanted to let my own mother move to Shoukang Palace!" Why did you change the queen mother, and you can't live?! ”

Su Lian's heart moved, it turned out that Empress Xiaokangzhang was so disrespectful to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager...... After all, it is impossible for the two queen mothers to go to Cining Palace, and one of them must go to live in Shoukang Palace, how can the queen mother be willing to make the queen mother and queen mother succumb to the queen mother? Naturally, he wanted to let Xuan Ye's biological mother move to Shoukang Palace first.

Su Lian couldn't help but say, "It seems that the Queen Mother was not in good health at that time, right?" Su Lian remembered clearly that Empress Xiaokangzhang lingered on the sickbed, and Xuan Ye went when she was young.

Xuan Ye clenched his fist at the bottom of his sleeve, "If they hadn't forced her to move the palace, Eniang wouldn't have aggravated her condition......" In the second year of Kangxi, Xuan Ye was only ten years old, and the Queen Mother Tong died of her death, and when she went, she was only twenty-four years old.

Xuan Ye's resentment, Su Lian really felt it, Empress Xiaokangzhang's health was not good, how could she withstand such persecution? Although the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will not force her to death, in the end this has become a weight for her to accelerate her death. Empress Xiaokangzhang has become a thorn in Xuan Ye's heart after all, a thorn that can never be pulled out......

Su Lian couldn't clearly analyze the ugliness inside, so he had to comfort him: "The Empress Dowager didn't mean it, people's hearts are selfish, and she will inevitably be partial to her own family." "After all, a body like Empress Xiaokangzhang will die sooner or later, and the Empress Dowager doesn't need to force her to death, which will make the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren even more alienated.

Xuan Ye's eyes were dim and his mind was imperceptible, and he murmured, "I know...... It's just that I won't allow the Queen Mother to live in Cining Palace too! In the second half of the sentence, the tone is full of unquestionable meaning.

Su Lian also felt a headache, the Queen Mother would not give up, and Xuan Ye refused to give in...... It's really become a dead knot that can't be untied, Su Lian said to himself: "Why don't you rebuild a new palace for the Queen Mother?" ”

Xuan Ye couldn't help but have a gleam in his eyes, "Rebuild the new palace?" ”

Su Lian just said casually, "Yes, the Queen Mother doesn't want to live in Shoukang Palace, you don't want the Queen Mother to live in Cining Palace, so why don't you just compromise and rebuild a separate palace?" ”

Xuan Ye couldn't help but have a smile line at the corner of his mouth, "I know ......it in my heart," he said, took Su Lai's hand, stroked it gently, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Su Lai's forehead, "Su Su is so smart." ”

Su Lian couldn't help but be proud, and smiled, but heard Xuan Ye jokingly: "A fool must have a thousand thoughts, and that's what I think is." ”

Depend on! Su Lian immediately jumped to his feet, his eyes were red with annoyance, and he shouted with his lips: "You are the fool, your whole family is a fool!" "Fool, that's what it means to be stupid, can Su Lianyan take it?

Xuan Ye didn't think he was angry at all, but pulled Su Curtain in his arms, and unbuttoned the auspicious buckle of Su Curtain's shirt with his hands......

After two or three days, Xuan Ye, who had just relieved his troubles, couldn't help but feel worried, and under Su Lian's several questions, he said, "Su Su...... In the palace now, only the former Dynasty Renshou Palace, Jiluan Palace, and Qifeng Palace are still quite spacious, but they have all fallen into disrepair, and if they want to be repaired, they are afraid that it will be a big project. ”

Su Lian said with a smile: "If you don't repair it slowly, even if it will not be repaired well for a while, the Queen Mother will definitely be happy when she hears the news." ”

Xuan Ye frowned, and said softly: "But there is not much silver that the treasury can use, my private treasury ...... They are all preparing to expand Changchun Garden. If the new palace is to be rebuilt, then the works here ......"

Su Lian understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Changchun Garden is already big enough, and it's nothing to stop." Let's do the Queen Mother first! "What's the point of such a big expansion? Do you keep Dosai's concubines? Su Curtain didn't mind not expanding at all, it cost so much silver, just to make the garden bigger and the palace more, Su Curtain didn't think it was worth it, so he said this without hesitation.

Xuan Ye stretched his brows, and his expression was very moved, but it made Su Lian a little upset. In the past two years, in order to repair and expand Changchun Garden, the silver has been spent like flowing water, the original Yude Garden has been merged, and the West Garden has been almost repaired, and the area of Changchun Garden has increased by at least one-third! There is nothing unsatisfying about Su Blind.
