Looking at Sizhen's bright appearance, although he feels pleasing to the eye, he is not a very feminine person, and Sizhen's identity is just good-looking, and it is impossible to make a mistake at the moment, so he smiled: "Thank you Brother Sun for your kindness, but in this New Year, many relatives have not gone to visit the New Year...... Let's talk about it another day, talk to the old lady and sister-in-law for me, and I'll take my leave. ”

"Lord Ao really forgot to sleep and eat for the sake of state affairs, and even in this New Year, he can't be clean......" Sun Bao said a basket of flattering words, Sun Hu was light, although he was respectful, but he didn't have any stammer.

Thinking that the third aunt Li is also self-conscious on weekdays, Sizhen is a little impressed by their couple.

After saying goodbye, she said to Sun Hu: "Third uncle, if it is convenient for you, go to the outer city to pass a message to the princess, and don't forget to go to the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to ask the empress dowager for peace." ”

Just send a little guy to do such a thing, why do you have to explain it to him? Sun Hu glanced at Sizhen in surprise, and immediately understood, and arched his hand: "It just so happens that I will go over in the afternoon, and if the princess says, I will definitely bring it." ”

Sizhen put her mind at ease and knew that Sun Hu understood her intentions.

No matter what the use of Ao Bai borrowing Dai Liangchen was, Sun Yanling knew about it and would arrange for his people in Guangxi to investigate the matter.

After Sun Bao got out of the inner courtyard, he complained to Sun Hu for a while: "The third brother doesn't say anything on weekdays, I think what kind of person Lord Ao is, when I go to the princess's mansion today, what a rare opportunity, you are silent like a muffled gourd, don't you understand, he just said a word, and it was like playing to raise us to a few levels......"

"Erlang, they are going to return to Dingfan sooner or later, it's not a good thing for the vassal king to make friends with important ministers, although the princess is not the king of Dingnan, but she is in charge of the king's affairs, of course we can't drag her back......"

"The third brother is confused." Without waiting for Sun Hu to finish speaking, Sun Bao interrupted him, "The princess is just a noble status, but she has no real power, where can she compare to the high position and power of Lord Ao, calling the wind and rain?" Nading Domain is the land of the Southern Barbarians, with dense mountains and forests, many insects and ants, and fierce folk customs, making a living by grazing, hunting, and cultivating grass, how can it be compared with the prosperity of this capital? It's easy for us to take advantage of Erlang's marriage and return to the capital, so we naturally want to stay for a long time. Niang Ke said, our brother came back this time, and he will find an official in the capital, and when Erlang and they return to Dingfan, this princess mansion needs to be taken care of by their own people, so we will move in to accompany my mother......"

"I'm not moving here." Sun Hu said in a sullen voice: "Erlang is outside, people laugh at him for being a husband and wife, plus our family takes advantage of the princess, doesn't it make people laugh?" It's not like we don't have land to live in, what are we doing here? I want to come, you will come, I will not come. ”

Sun Bao said angrily: "For my brother's kind way to remind you, you made such an ambitious appearance to ridicule me?" Let's go, let's go for a few years, since the second brother died in battle, the family business has declined, you don't know, the scenery is still the same on the surface, don't you know what is going on inside? A few days ago, your daughter-in-law was the head of a set, isn't this chilling? What's wrong with the princess's mansion? The second brother died for their Kong family, and their Kong family owes us, so it should be like this......"

But no matter what he said, Sun Hu just said "I won't move", and Sun Bao was so angry that he shook his hand and left.

Sun Hu had lunch, then rode a fast horse to the outer city, and learned the words of Ao Bai to the mansion to Sun Yanling, and Sun Yanling arranged it himself, which is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.

**

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Kangxi, Sizhen and Sun Yanling took the chariot of the princess's mansion to the palace gate, because the carriage and horses could not enter the palace, the two got out of the car and changed to a small sedan chair.

went to Cining Palace first and said about Aunt Yue, but the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, only said that she would find a time to let Aunt Yue enter the palace and ask before dealing with it.

Sizhen knew that the Empress Dowager was a cautious person, and it was impossible to just listen to their words and tell Aunt Nayue what to do, but according to the shrewdness of the Empress Dowager, as long as she was willing to ask, she would naturally know the truth, so she didn't say much, and only accompanied the Empress Dowager to gossip.

The queen mother and queen mother are still the temper of the square, seeing Sizhen, a rare smile on her face, very kind, everything is thoughtful and meticulous, Sizhen has to enter the palace every month to ask for peace, she is a frequent visitor to Ciren Palace, Sun Yanling also feels that she is more comfortable in Ciren Palace than Jingren Palace.

Staying until noon, the Queen Mother and Queen Mother left them for lunch, and Xuan Ye did not leave.

The four of them were sitting in the banquet hall of the Ciren Palace, when the Queen Mother came.

After entering the hall to greet each other, she smiled and said to the queen mother: "In the palace today, there are some water chestnuts from the south of the Yangtze River, the water chestnut skin is crispy and the meat is beautiful, fragrant and sweet, sister, I let people go to make the water chestnut roast meat, the most is to tonify the kidney, nourish yin, and benefit qi, my sister must eat a few more bites later." ”

In front of Xuan Ye, the queen mother of the two palaces has always been sisterly and affectionate, and she laughed at the moment: "Sister has a heart, I will definitely eat a few more bites later." ”

Not only did the Queen Mother eat some water chestnut roast pork, but Sizhen, who likes sweet food, also served half a bowl more, and persuaded Sun Yanling to eat a few bites, only Xuan Ye was blocked by the Queen Mother, saying that the dish was not suitable for children, and even the chopsticks on his plate were found by the Queen Mother to change the plate and leave.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother prepared a table of good dishes, and Xuan Ye was persuaded, so he changed to eat other dishes, and he was just as happy.

On weekdays, what Xuan Ye can see in the palace is the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Concubine and others, no matter what he does, there are always people who persuade him to stop him, and when Sizhen enters the palace, he can let her accompany her to ride and shoot, talking on paper, which is a rare game for the nine-year-old Fulin.

Sizhen narrowed her eyes slightly, and she was satisfied with eating.

In the eyes of others, she is a lover who can be very happy when she eats what she likes.

The Queen Mother secretly pursed her lips: Just such a master who can eat and smile for the same food, Xuan Ye loves to be close to her, and those who don't know will think that Xuan Ye is her son.

Seeing that the palace maid gave the queen mother another chopsticks and water chestnut roast meat on the plate, the queen mother smiled slightly.

I have eaten a lot of imperial food in the palace, and I will naturally feel fresh and delicious for the dish she specially chosen.

Looking at the water chestnut roast meat that had already gone down for a small time, the Queen Mother of the Virgin was even more exquisite, and warmly beckoned the Sizhen couple to eat this and that, as if they were in her Jingren Palace.

On weekdays, the palace is silent about food, but when the Queen Mother speaks, naturally no one will accuse her of not, and even the Queen Mother and Queen Mother also said a few words of homely things.

When the chestnut beef came up, the Queen Mother said: "The mourning family heard the imperial doctor say that beef has the effect of nourishing the qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, and strengthening the muscles and bones. ”

Xuan Ye looked at Sun Yanling's powerful and beautiful figure enviously, "Then I will eat more beef and chestnuts in the future, hoping that one day I can be as strong as Sun Yanling." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "I can't digest the chestnuts if I eat too much, the emperor is still young, and his spleen and stomach are still weak, so he can't stand this, just eat the beef." ”

According to what she said, the palace maid only gave Xuan Ye a chopstick beef.

The Queen Mother advised Sun Yanling to eat more.

Sizhen saw that the Queen Mother was so kind to them today, knowing that it was because of Xuan Ye's presence, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between them, so she smiled and said, "So it works?" Then I will eat more, so as not to be overtaken by the forehead master during the weekday drill. ”

As soon as he heard the exercises, Xuan Ye asked excitedly: "Aunt Zhen, do you and Sun Eyu practice together every day?" You win more, or you win more. ”

Sizhen glanced at Sun Yanling, and said with a smile: "The forehead master has been on the battlefield with a real knife and a real gun, and he is of course stronger than the courtier's fist and embroidered legs, and the courtier's wife is also in archery, and she can compare with him." ”

Xuan Ye showed admiration for Sun Yanling, in his opinion, Sizhen was very powerful, but he didn't expect Sun Yanling to be even better.

Listening to Sizhen's words to defend him, a smile appeared on Sun Yanling's face: "In terms of strength, the minister is a man, so he is naturally stronger than the princess, but in terms of dexterity and eyesight, the minister is not as good as the princess." If you talk about military strategy, the minister, who is not well-versed in literature and ink, cannot be compared. ”

The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled: "You are touting each other like this, it is obvious that you have a very good relationship, and the mourning family is relieved." ”

Sizhen Jiao said angrily: "The Queen Mother, the courtiers are obviously telling the truth, where is there any praise!" The forehead lord is diligent, and he has to practice for an hour every day, and you see that the courtier's hand has a thin cocoon with too many swords......"

Seeing the flow of the four chastity and autumn waves, the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary thought that her young widow was all due to her and Wuyunzhu, and she hated her heart, but asked Sun Yanling with a slight smile on her face: "The master is still practicing hard in this capital, do you want to take over the class of the king of the south?" That's right, you are the son-in-law of King Dingnan, and the Dingfan is Ah Zhen's, isn't it just like yours! ”

Hearing the provocative meaning of the Queen Mother, Sun Yanlingyun replied lightly: "Whether or not to return to the Dingvassal depends on the needs of the process, but the minister is a person who practices martial arts, and it would be a pity if he put it aside because he lived in the capital for a long time!" Even if you are a civil servant in the court, you must have a good body, otherwise when the dynasty is in power, the hours will be longer, and you can't even stand on your feet, and another one, although the former Ming Dynasty has been defeated, the Qing Dynasty is now the country and the people, but as a general, you have to be prepared all the time, and you can't grind your guns when you are in battle......"

Just talking, chatting and eating, I ate a lot of lunch.

Because there are many types of imperial meals, the people at the table, whether it is water chestnut roast pork or chestnut beef, only ate two or three chopsticks, and Xuan Ye only ate a piece of beef in the two items, the Queen Mother ate a mouthful of water chestnut and ate a piece of beef, and the others were mostly greens, but the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and the four Zhen couples, under her persuasion, ate a lot.
