Just when the group walked out of the back garden and rushed to the Zichen Hall with Zhao Xin in their arms, in the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao Cui's family did not know anything about the turmoil outside.

Since being placed under house arrest by the emperor, she has not stepped out of Yong'an Palace for a long time.

Although the emperor did not deliberately reduce her use in terms of basic living needs, the palace people and eunuchs who should be matched were also rationed in full according to the rules.

But the Empress Dowager Zhao Cuishi still feels that Yong'an Palace, like herself, is gradually dying.

Even on such a summer day, there was a slight cold illusion in Yong'an Palace.

Zhao Cuishi reclined on the soft couch in the pavilion, his eyes seemed to be watching the scenery in the garden through the veil, but in fact his eyes were not focused.

Several palace people next to him waited cautiously, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

The whole pavilion, and even the whole garden, seemed to be silent, extremely quiet, or rather silent.

Even the wind seems to have no sound.

Or the wind didn't move at all, and the entire Yong'an Palace would still flow, probably just the silent time and the sun overhead......

"What time has it been? ”

Zhao Cuishi suddenly said faintly.

"Back to my mother, I have been in the middle of the day. ”

The palace man replied cautiously.

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Cuishi responded slowly, and then there was silence again.

I don't know how long it took for Zhao Cuishi to come back to his senses, and sighed lightly: "Pass the food, the mourning family will have food left now." ”

For her sigh, or self-sigh, the palace people did not dare to speak.

just leaned over and reported: "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty just sent someone to send a food box." ”

"Food box?"

Zhao Cuishi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face suddenly turned pale, and he sneered sadly, "Has the emperor finally decided to send my wife back to heaven?"

After speaking, he angrily swept all the things on the table in front of him to the ground.

He said angrily in his mouth: "The mourning family is already like this, isn't it enough?"

If the mourning family doesn't eat, you, you, and you, go and tell him that if you want to kill the mourning family, let him use the knife, and the mourning family is not afraid ......"

Seeing that Zhao Cui's was still looking lazy just now, but suddenly became hysterical, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

Hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Niangniang misunderstood." ”

"Recently, the Shanglin Yuan Ling in Beijing presented a kind of Jiahe that can produce ten stones per mu, and His Majesty was very happy, so he invited the virtuous and virtuous people in Beijing to hold a Jiahe feast.

For the grand event, His Majesty and the Queen Mother personally cooked a delicacy with this Jiahe to entertain all the virtuous people.

And let people also send a copy to the mother, please have fun!"

The palace people recounted the ins and outs of the matter one by one, and then leaned over again and said: "Your Majesty is the king of benevolence and filial piety, how can you do something rebellious, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry!"

"Golden Harvest Feast?"

When Zhao Cuishi heard the palace man's explanation, his face was still uncertain, but his expression slowly calmed down.

But then he looked at the palace people kneeling on the ground and sneered, "Please mourn the family and have fun, hehe, the emperor has filial piety, since this is the case, let's present it." ”

"Whoa!"

The palace man got up and waved his hand to bring the food box up.

Then he touched the Queen Mother with his own hands.

Zhao Cuishi opened the food box and took a look, and saw a jade bowl in the food box, which was a kind of food she had never seen before.

The color shape looks like acorn soup, but it is different.

"This is the delicacies made by Golden Harvest?"

Zhao Cuishi gently stirred it with a silver spoon, then carefully scooped up a little soup, and hesitated for a moment before putting it in his mouth.

I found that it didn't seem to be poisonous, and the taste was unexpectedly good, so I couldn't help but look moved, and I was a little interested.

After two more bites, I felt more and more delicious, and I no longer had the timidity I had before.

And I learned to use the sauce next to it without a teacher.

Before I knew it, I found that this bowl was actually all eaten, and I felt that I was still a little unsatisfied.

But he didn't say another one.

I washed my hands in the clean water that the palace people next to me encountered, rinsed my mouth again, and took the hand towel handed by the palace people next to me and wiped my mouth.

His face was a little flushed compared to before, and his expression returned to a lazy state, and he said lightly: "The emperor has a heart." ”

Although the tone seems to be a little sarcastic, the heart is a lot calmer.

At the same time, I was also speculating in my heart whether the emperor had any purpose.

Could it be because my brother is growing up and the emperor is afraid, so he wants to ease relations with the mourning family.

If that's the case......

Zhao Cui's heart had a little activity at this time, and he vaguely seemed to see a little hope again.

was about to say that he would let the palace people help him to walk in the corridor.

Suddenly, I heard the slight sound of footsteps, and when I turned around, I saw a chamberlain cautiously approaching me.

This chamberlain is an old man in her Yong'an Palace, although he is not a cronie, but he is also familiar with it.

However, since the emperor took control of Yong'an Palace, most of the old people in Yong'an Palace have been transferred, and some of them are only responsible for outside chores.

Naturally, those who are close are all emperors.

At this time, I saw this familiar chamberlain come in, but no one stopped him.

Zhao Cuishi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the palace person next to him, and saw that the latter did not react.

Then he asked as if he didn't care, "What's the matter?"

". ”

The chamberlain cautiously leaned over to the ground and responded: "Cui Wenhao, the eldest son of the imperial doctor, is asking to see him outside!"

Zhao Cuishi was suddenly shocked when he heard this, "What?"

subconsciously wanted to say "please", but then realized that all the people in this Yong'an Palace were Zhao Xin's people, how could they allow the Cui family to come to see the mourning family?

Is my brother finally coming to the rescue of the mourning family?

Thinking like this, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart on his face, and said casually: "Let him in." ”

It's just that the hand hidden in the sleeve is subconsciously pinched tightly.

In order not to let her excitement be seen, she sat down again.

But there is no peace of mind.

After a while, she finally saw Cui Wenhao.

But the people behind Cui Wenhao made her stunned.

The excitement was poured with a bucket of cold water at once.

'Wen Hao, this kid came to see the mourning family, why did he bring outsiders? And isn't the person behind him the emperor's side?'

Zhao Cuishi didn't know Wang Xuance's name, but he knew that he was a close confidant of the emperor.

The Cui family, which she had been looking forward to day and night, finally came, but they came with Zhao Xin's cronies, which made Zhao Cui's heart numb and a little confused.

"Minister Cui Wenhao visits his aunt and the Queen Mother!"

Just when Zhao Cui's mind was not confused, Cui Wenhao had already come to the front and fell to the ground.

Wang Xuance also walked into the pavilion, but he just bowed and said, "The minister Wang Xuance pays a visit to the Queen Mother!"

"Get up, it's cold on the ground. ”

Although his heart was very chaotic, seeing Cui Wenhao kneeling in front of him, Zhao Cui's heart couldn't help but feel excited, with a smile on his face.

But looking at Wang Xuance again, her expression was a little stupid, she snorted, and waved her hand, "Excuse me, my old woman can't afford it." ”
