After laughing for a while, the Queen Mother said: "Now that the Lord is young, the affairs in the court are all handled by the four auxiliary ministers, and the Lord is in the Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament, what news he hears, let us know a thing or two, lest we be in the harem, become the deaf and blind!" ”

The Empress Dowager also said this before, Sizhen and Sun Yanling both understood that the Empress Dowager was still young, and when she said this, she was instructed by the Empress Dowager, so she became more cautious in her heart.

Sun Yanling hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "What the Queen Mother said, the minister must always keep it in mind. The minister respects the long live lord, and does not dare to have half a point overstep, the minister is the courtier of the long live lord, and is deeply favored by the emperor, so he naturally looks forward to the long live lord and the horse, please rest assured that the queen mother. ”

Sizhen also said: "The Queen Mother just rest assured, although the emperor is young, he is extremely smart, the dragon and the phoenix are raised, and they are raised by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, and there will be no such thing as the strong minister and the weak master, and another one, Jianning also talked about it with the concubine before, there are two foreheads in the court, if there is any news, I must tell the inner palace to know." ”

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, and stretched out her hand to Sizhen, "Ah Zhen, come here." ”

Sizhen affectionately handed her hand over, sat on the foot of the queen mother's phoenix couch, and looked at her.

The Queen Mother looked at the bright moon standing at the moment, and said to Sizhen seriously: "You grew up in the palace since you were a child, how the women in the palace are doing, you can't be clearer, in this palace, even the mourning family is so noble and noble, they are all pitiful." Although the mourning family does not approve of some of the emperor's actions, they can understand it for the sake of the Qing Dynasty......"

The Queen Mother straightened Sizhen's dress and said slowly: "You are an understanding person, and you have suffered so much, you know how to live to be happy." That man, he likes it now, maybe he won't love it anymore, and he doesn't have a character. Even if you are in love with your forehead this time, you can't offend the emperor's mother for these things. ”

After Sizhen thanked him and stepped back, the Queen Mother warned Sun Yanling again: "The mourning family used to be Ah Zhen is sister-in-law, and now treat her as their own sister, Sun E, you and Ah Zhen have worked hard to be together, you must cherish it, Ah Zhen has a quiet temperament, what do you have to say to be bitter in your heart, you are a man, you must be more considerate, husband and wife, have a good life, don't blindly respect and lose closeness because she is a princess." ”

Sun Yanling said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is an understanding person, and your teachings are kept in mind." ”

After talking for a while, the Queen Mother reluctantly said to Sizhen: "Okay, you go back, if you are free, enter the palace and come to the mourning family, the mourning family is happy, but you don't have time to come, as long as you are good outside, the mourning family is just as happy......"

At the end of the words, she choked up a little: "No matter what, Ah Zhen, you must not be separated from the mourning family." ”

Sizhen thanked him, and although he didn't say anything more at parting, his two eyes kept looking at the Queen Mother, and the concern hidden in it made the Queen Mother more and more sour.

When I arrived at Jingren Palace, I greeted the Queen Mother and Mary, and it was also very smooth.

Since that year, after Xuan Ye was taken to the elder brother's house, the Queen Mother was snubbed by Shunzhiye, and it was rare to see her son, and later she was frightened by Xuan Ye's pox plague, and her body and bones have not been very good.

The Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary asked people to take a brocade box out and hand it to Sizhen: "This is a pomegranate ornament of the Queen Mother who used to appreciate the mourning family, the mourning family likes it very much, it used to be placed in the room to watch all day, and now the mourning family does not need it, but this pomegranate ornament carving is good, the omen is good, it is a pity to put it away, you and Sun Eyu are newly married Yan'er, and the mourning family will reward you with this thing, and I hope that you and Sun Egu will have many sons and many blessings, and give birth to a noble son early." ”

The pomegranate ornament carved by the white jade, the jade is white and delicate, the flowers, leaves, and fruits are complete, the fruit is full, the flowers are in full bloom, and a cicada is carved on the stem, the form is vivid, delicate and ingenious, the meaning is auspicious, and people love it at a glance.

Sizhen looked at the pomegranate ornament and was a little stunned.

The Queen Mother said: "Are you looking at this ornament a little familiar?" ”

Sizhen nodded and said with a smile: "Xu has seen it here in the Queen Mother's place before, it is really a good thing, so I still have some impressions." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Didn't you see it here at the Mourning family, but at Queen Duanjing, right?" She that, and the mourning family this is a pair, when Queen Duanjing was pregnant with the fourth elder brother, the emperor gave one to her, she also likes this ornament, placed in the bedroom every day, later, she went to the fairy, the ornament was put into the Ziguan together, the mourning family this, it became a unique ......"

She reminded Sizhen that she had indeed seen it in the dark cloud beads, and because she also had a pomegranate ornament in her own library, she took two more looks.

"Originally, I entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother, but I got a good thing from the Mother, and when I left the palace, I rewarded a lot, this ornament is the Niangniang's beloved thing, the Mother still stays, this is the Queen Mother's gift, how can the concubine take love?" Although Sizhen liked the pomegranate ornament very much, when he heard that it was the beloved object of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's appreciation, he hurriedly declined.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Something like pomegranate means many children and grandchildren, but the mourning family is a lonely and widowed person, where can it be used!" This thing is left by the mourning family to watch, but it is just a sad thing, it is better to give it to you, and it can also take a good omen. As she spoke, she winked mischievously: "Perhaps, if you get this ornament, you can also give birth to a smart little bessel like the emperor like the mourning family." ”

The Queen Mother said this, it would be inappropriate to refrain any longer, Sizhen and Sun Yanling hurriedly knelt down to thank her, although it didn't matter to Mingyue, but they both knelt down, and she had no choice but to salute respectfully.

Out of Jingren Palace, Sun Yanling said with a smile: "I only said that the Empress Dowager loved you before, but I didn't expect your relationship with the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces to be so good." ”

Sizhen said in a low voice: "I have a good relationship with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is in the palace, she has always been cautious and cautious, and she is silent. Maybe it's because the emperor and I learned archery, so I value it. ”

What Sizhen didn't say to Sun Yanling was because Lord Shunzhi took a lot of care of her, and there was a saying that there were dark cloud beads in the palace because they looked a little like her and were favored...... After Wuyunzhu entered the palace, the Queen Mother was snubbed, so that the little emperor was carried to the elder brother early, and later contracted the pox epidemic because of poor care, and the Queen Mother actually never treated her very much.

In Sizhen's view, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary showed her grace today, perhaps because after the little emperor ascended the throne, the mother and son were able to see each other from time to time, and the Queen Mother heard the little emperor praise her, so she thought about rewarding something to win people's hearts.

When I went to the Qianqing Palace to thank the little emperor Xuanye, I ran into a little trouble.

When Xuan Ye ascended the throne, his father, Emperor Shunzhi, appointed him four auxiliary ministers - Sony, Sukh Saha, Kupilon, and Aobai.

Sony, Suppilon, and Ao Bai are the ministers of the two yellow flags, and after the death of Emperor Taiji of Chongde, they swore allegiance to the death and supported Emperor Shunzhi. During the Regency of Dolgon, they were all demoted: Sonny was stripped of his office; Suppilon was dismissed, and most of his family property was registered; Ao Bai successively broke the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army, but he was punished for his merits, especially after Zhang Xianzhong returned from the great service of pacifying the Daxi Army, he died twice within ten days, and almost lost his life.

Although Suke Saha belonged to the White Banner and was a close attendant of Dolgon, the backbone of the White Banner, he was not good at sycophancy, and after Dolgon's death, he and Zhan Dai and Mu Zilun conspired against Dolgon during his lifetime, so that Emperor Shunzhi could justifiably pursue Dolgon's crimes.

In order to ensure that the auxiliary ministers could not abuse their powers, the edict of Emperor Shunzhi stipulated that the four auxiliary ministers must coordinate together no matter what they requested, and only after obtaining the permission of the empress dowager and the emperor can they issue the edict in the name of the edict.

Emperor Shunzhi did not still choose the kings of the clan as auxiliary ministers at that time, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Dolgon, fearing that Xuan Ye was young and the auxiliary power of the kings of the clan was too powerful, so he would rely on the power of the generations and despise the young lord, posing a threat to the emperor.

However, among the four auxiliary ministers, Soni in the first place is old and sick, Sukh Saha in the second place is still shallow, and the third is cowardly in the second place, and only the fourth in the fourth place is Aobai Kong, who is strong in military force and martial arts, and is arrogant and domineering, tyrannical and irritable, and often has political disagreements with Sonny and Sukh Saha.

However, at this time, Ao Bai was still very respectful to the little emperor in general, and when Sizhen and Sun Yanling arrived at the Qianqing Palace, they happened to meet Ao Bai talking about political affairs to the little emperor.

Seeing Sizhen enter, Xuan Ye shouted happily, jumped off the dragon chair and ran towards her: "Aunt Zhen, I was looking forward to you coming over early in the morning, if there is something wrong, I will go to the palace of the imperial grandmother to wait for you." ”

Ao Bai reminded with a smile next to him: "Your Majesty, you can't use 'me' anymore, you should say 'I'." ”

When he said me, his voice was loud and full of energy, and Sizhen raised his eyes to look, but he happened to meet Aobai's gaze.

This man's eyes are so sharp!

This is Sizhen's first feeling of worship.

Ao Bai's eyebrows were stiff, a pair of narrow eyes flashed like a sword out of the sheath, and the murderous aura that came out of a hundred battles on his body couldn't be hidden, Sizhen and he looked at each other for a while before moving away.

Seeing that Sizhen was completely fearless of himself, Ao Bai was a little surprised, he was a general who was born and died, and ordinary people didn't dare to look at him with such scrutinizing eyes, he didn't even dare to look at each other, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Xuan Ye smiled and introduced to them: "Aunt Zhen, this is Aobai, one of the four auxiliary ministers of Huang Ama as my finger, he has a high level of martial arts, you can compete with him!" ”
