The Empress Dowager listened to Sizhen's question, and her eyes showed a look of approval: "Ah Zhen is very thoughtful, because I didn't know what was going on with you before, so I didn't discuss it with others." On the side of the outer court, Suke Saha has always been on the wrong side with him, and he is one of the four auxiliary ministers set by Shunzhi Ye, and his words have a lot of weight, which can be relied on, and there is also Wang Jieshu of Kangjun, who has the material of a general, your side is decided, and the mourning family and the emperor will discuss with them how to do it in the future. ”

After a pause, the Empress Dowager said: "As for the lack of preparation, there is no need to do it on the birthday of the mourning family, and after the birthday, the mourning family will say that they can't afford to be sick and leave you in the palace to serve the sick, so that they can dispel his suspicions and wait for the opportunity to act." ”

Sizhen heard this, in this way, she was afraid that she would have to stay in Beijing for half a year, but fortunately, this time she entered Beijing, she took Cheng Ze with her, but she didn't have to worry about her son, just thinking that Sun Yanling was in Guilin, and the couple separated this time, counting the distance before and after, almost more than a year, since they got married, the two have always gathered less and left more, a little helpless.

The Empress Dowager is a person who has come over, how she doesn't know what Sizhen thinks, she took her hand and said earnestly: "The mourning family also knows, in this way, it will make your husband and wife have to be separated for a long time, but this matter can't be separated from you, Guilin, you can stand firm, if you summon the forehead to enter Beijing together, I am afraid that it will give others an opportunity to take advantage of, so I have to let you two Lao Yan fly separately, and the mourning family will assure you that as soon as this matter is over, you will be sent back to Guangxi immediately, and the husband and wife will be reunited." Don't worry, Sun Yanling doesn't dare to mess around in Guangxi, if he has another woman, the mourning family will be the first to make decisions for you. ”

As soon as she heard that the Empress Dowager had said everything about this, Sizhen naturally didn't want to complain anymore, she smiled and said: "Look at what the queen mother said, we are not the young couple, after so many years, where can I worry about the forehead master, I just thought that Cheng Ze would not see his father for a long time, I was afraid that I would cry, and I didn't know how to coax him, so I was a little helpless." ”

"Cheng Ze is almost five years old, right? The next time I enter the palace, bring in the good grandson of the mourning family to show the mourning family, there are many games in the palace, maybe he will forget it. The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

Xuan Ye also said: "I remember that when I left Beijing, Cheng Ze had just left, carved in pink and jade, like a golden boy next to the Bodhisattva, Aunt Zhen would often take him to the palace to play in the future, and the seventh brother Longxi was less than eight years old, and the two could be companions." ”

Sizhen responded, and chatted with him before leaving.

After going out, seeing that Talma was still waiting in the outer hall, Sizhen couldn't help but feel strange.

Seeing her come out, Talma put down the tea in her hand, got up and said with a smile: "Ah Zhen, are you out?" Is the imperial grandmother going to say everything for a few years? I have been keeping you for a long time. ”

Although in the past, she studied with Jianning, Talma, and Alanduo to study and study female celebrities, and Talma also taught her a lot of Manchu, but because Talma had sent someone to stare at Sun Yanling, and never said a word afterwards, Sizhen was always a little alienated from her, although she saw that Talma asked kindly, she just replied with a faint smile: "The main thing is that the emperor wants to ask about the situation over there, so I stayed for a long time, and the queen mother is there, mainly to talk about some family things, nothing important." ”

If that's all, why do you have to come to Cining Palace to ask, and avoid people? Although Talma didn't believe what Sizhen said in her heart, she knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she changed the topic and said, "Then let's go out of the palace and go to Deyue Tower." ”

"What are you doing in Deyue Tower?" After Sizhen asked, he remembered what happened in front of Qianqing's door, and his face changed a little, "I want to go to you, I didn't promise anything." ”

"Ah Zhen, you also know that Uncle Seven Emperor is an idiot, if you don't make it clear to him face to face, I'm afraid that it will make a fuss like before, at that time, with the pressure of Lord Shunzhi, he doesn't dare to do anything. Could it be that you want to let the imperial grandmother come forward for this matter? ”

Seeing Sizhen's hesitation, Talma persuaded again: "The imperial grandmother is now old, we can not let her worry about things, it is better not to let her worry about it." ”

Sizhen thought for a while: "Okay, but I want to go to Ciren Palace to greet the Queen Mother first, you have to insist on this, and wait." ”

After speaking, Sizhen Shi Ran left, leaving Talma standing there, her face cloudy.

If it weren't for the fact that she received money, she wouldn't want to wade into this troubled water.

When Sizhen came out of Ciren Palace, it was already past noon, but Talma didn't dare to complain, and only urged Sizhen to go to Deyue Tower quickly.

Sizhen was not in a hurry, saying that his clothes were dirty, and he was willing to go when he went home to change his clothes.

Chang Shu ordered wine and food in Deyue Tower, called for singing and dancing, but never saw anyone coming, he was very unhappy, and when he heard Sizhen say that because the Queen Mother stayed in the palace, she had used it in the palace, and she felt that she was despised.

No matter how bad he is, he is also the uncle of the Seven Emperors of the dynasty, and there are only a few people who are afraid of him, how can he ever be so neglected? Anger rose in my heart.

But seeing Sizhen's apologetic smile, his anger calmed down strangely.

Sizhen changed out of the auspicious clothes that entered the palace at this time, carved gold under the big flamingo, wore a royal blue treasure bottle makeup gown, the neckline was inlaid with white phoenix feathers, inside was a golden Ruyi cloud pattern satin jacket flag dress, the double hair was loose, the small two heads were equipped with white hostas and bead flowers, the whole person was also as soft and delicate as a white magnolia, bright eyes and snow skin, a pair of eyebrows like Yuandai slightly raised, the face was like lotus paste, which made people forget to see.

Although Chang Shu still had a calm face, his tone was not angry, "To make amends to others, but to be so neglectful, is it possible, will I eat you later?" In this case, you are invited to this meal, have you brought enough money to Beijing? Why don't I put it on for you first? ”

The more he spoke, the more gentle his temperament became.

The food in Deyuelou is one of the most expensive in the capital, and Sizhen's appearance is really not like carrying silver with him.

Hearing Chang Shu's amicable tone, Sizhen Yingying smiled, "Although I have eaten, I have to eat a few bites of the good wine and food of Yuelou." Besides, although I don't have any money, Talma does, and according to our friendship, she is willing to help pay in advance, isn't it, Talma? ”

Talma was depressed, but at this time, if she said that her friendship with Sizhen was not enough, I was afraid that she would not be able to sit down anymore, so she had to squeeze out a little smile and said: "Although Ah Zhen sits with peace of mind, Uncle Seven Emperor is not such a stingy person, he said that he invited us, naturally he will meet the account, in case it really doesn't work, my mansion is close to here, let the next person go back and get it." ”

When Chang Shu heard that Sizhen was willing to eat a few more bites, his heart was already happy, and he didn't care about who paid the bill for a long time, and again, he was a man, and there was no reason to let women pay the bills, just said that, but because he waited too long, he was unhappy in his heart, and he vented a little anger.

He happily asked someone to show Sizhen a seat, and said softly: "With Seventh Brother here, how can you let you settle the account, but just kidding, what kind of tea does my sister drink on weekdays?" In winter, use some Pu'er bar, sexual warmth, go to cold, warm the stomach, drink it in winter, it can nourish the body, be good at storing yang energy, generate heat and warm the abdomen, and it is the most suitable for women. ”

Sizhen's smile did not change, but his words became cold, "Seventh brother doesn't have to treat me with the same way as other women, you and my brother and sister, just eat a meal as usual, don't be so deliberate, so as not to fall into the eyes of outsiders, and also say that our royal people don't follow the rules." ”

The fat on Chang Shu's face trembled, and he said with a little embarrassment: "But if you ask my sister what kind of tea she drinks, where is it unruly?" ”

Seeing the situation, Talma relieved the siege and said, "Doesn't the Seventh Emperor Uncle ask me what kind of tea I drink?" ”

Chang Shu said angrily: "Aren't you a woman?" Naturally, black tea is more suitable. Cloves, let them make a pot of good pu-erh—"

Then he said to Talma: "I heard that your tea ceremony is very good, why don't you go and help choose Pu'er?" There are also drinks and dishes, look at what you don't like, change it. Be good, greet your aunt Zhen, and your seventh uncle will thank you well. ”

Talma thought that Chang Shu was going to stay alone with Sizhen for a while, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Sizhen affectionately: "Ah Zhen, you sit with Uncle Seven Emperors for a while, and I will come over when I have picked it." ”

"Lilac, wait for you."

Lilac, who was standing beside Chang Shu, heard the order, answered in a low voice, and went out of the box with Talma and her maid.

Seeing Chang Shu wave his hand, the other maid standing behind him also retreated, Sizhen made a look, and accompanied her Lan Que to the outer room of the box.

Seeing that there was no one next to him, Sizhen smiled: "Other male masters, the attendants are all small servants or entourage, Seventh Brother is good, and it is the maids who are used to the fullest!" I know, I say that you are suave, but I don't know, and you are a general of the town who loves to roll in the pile of fat powder all day long! ”

Although Chang Shu loves to be a nymphomaniac, he is not ignorant of good and bad, knowing that Sizhen is a gentle reminder to remind him not to be mixed in the red powder tent for a long time and lose his fighting spirit.

This general of Zhenguo, Chang Shude, of course, has the reason why he is a relative of the emperor, but before he was hollowed out by wine, his body was only strong and not fat, and he was also a good hand at dancing guns and sticks, so when he heard what Sizhen said, he was a little melancholy.

He looked at Sizhen: black and straight eyebrows, two apricot eyes black and white, like the sun and moon in the sky, clear and noble, straight nose bridge, thick and thin lips, all show that she is a person who values affection and friendship, only the cold smile on her lips seems a little alienated.

Chang Shu smiled bitterly: "In my sister's heart, must be your seventh brother who is a wine-colored person?" But who knows, your seventh brother is bitter in his heart! ”

Today's imperial court, even the emperor has to concede three points to Ao Bai and his henchmen, Chang Shu, an idle imperial prince with the name of the general of Zhenguo, either colluded with Ao Bai, or was excluded, Chang Shu chose the third way, nostalgic for wine, self-abandonment, and made others no longer afraid of him, naturally no need to win over and will not be excluded.

Sizhen's smile was really three points: "Seventh brother, if you are like the refugees who were affected by the disaster, starving for a few days, you will not have so much suffering, compared with those who can't eat, what is your bitterness?" A good man is determined to protect his family and defend the country, Brother Seven, you are not a person with wine bags and rice bags, why do you want to say that you are so unbearable? ”

When Chang Shu heard this, his voice lowered a lot: "Sister, will I know what I mean by insisting on seeing you?" ”
