The demonic light of the dark night flows beautifully and silently in the moonlight.

The glazed gold tiles of Ziwei Shrine are not resistant to sudden heat, reflecting the moonlight, like a thin coat covered with a layer of white jade.

The crow, with no branches to rely on, stood silently on the roof, looking down on the deep palace with a ghostly gaze.

A flock of homeless bats, roaring with hideous rage, swooped out from under the eaves, shaking and tearing apart the night sky like jade, with a ghost that looked at death as if it were home. Disappear without a trace.

The moon and stars are scarce, and on the palace road from Zichen Hall to Cining Palace, the lights of the Queen Mother's guard of honor cannot illuminate the haze under the feet of the sedan chair man.

The bluestone pavement, without the warmth and heaviness of jade in the daytime, under the coercion of the demon light, had no choice but to put on a miserable white helplessness.

A wandering black civet cat, curled up on the lonely palace wall, in the moonlight, round beaded eyes, glaring at the lights that are getting closer and closer.

"Watch out for that wild cat!" Wei Gonggong signaled the sedan chair man to put down the sedan chair, took out a mud ball from his arms, and threw it at the already angry wild cat.

"Aim...... Aiming at ......" tearing roar, piercing the silent night sky. Eight palanquin bearers, all took out the projectiles in their pockets.

Just pretending, before he could throw it out, the wild cat had already escaped from the wall.

The sedan chair drivers stuffed the projectiles into their pockets and continued to carry the sedan chairs.

"In the past two years, there have been more and more night owls in the palace." Gonggong Wei was worried that the Queen Mother would be frightened, so he quickly explained.

"The palace wall is so high, it's definitely not the wild cats outside coming in. I don't know which master raised it. We only dare to pretend to scare and scare, where do we dare to really hit them with projectiles. The leader of the sedan chair man carried the sedan chair steadily, while talking to Grandpa Wei next to him.

"I'm sorry for you." Father-in-law Wei saw the Queen Mother closing her eyes on the sedan chair to recuperate, and she also chatted with the sedan chair.

"It depends on the master to beat the dog, and it depends on the master to beat the cat. The beasts of the masters are also more valuable than us slaves. The head of the sedan chair said honestly.

"The palace has repeatedly ordered that animals are not allowed to be raised, and the Queen Mother has been old in recent years, and she is too lazy to ask."

"Father-in-law Wei, the slave looked at the cat just now, it seemed to be raised by Xue Guifei. According to the people in the palace, this cat has been foraging for food recently, and it has also scratched and bitten people. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"The slave also heard that in the palace, except for Concubine Kang and a few masters in the first few years, there were a few of them, that is, Xue Guifei, this is just a black civet cat."

"Don't talk nonsense, carry the sedan chair well." When Gonggong Wei heard the sedan chair man say the words 'Concubine Kang', he hurriedly used words to shut up the sedan chair head.

Father-in-law Wei turned his head, and the Queen Mother really opened her eyes and looked at the road ahead.

"I'm afraid Yuyan won't be able to get out."

Gonggong Wei stared at the big eyes and asked: "The prince just left, I'm afraid he hasn't arrived at the palace gate yet, how does the queen mother know?" ”

"The mourners heard it."

Gonggong Wei leaned on the side of the sedan chair and asked, "Queen Mother, this place is far away from the palace gate!" Close your eyes and rest for a while. We won't talk to you. ”

"Hey ......" The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and said, "Go get some ice, Yuyan has been afraid of heat since he was a child, and it is too hot today, he must be too hot to sleep at night." ”

Gonggong Wei smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the prince just said that he will go back to the palace tonight, you take these ices, the prince will not need them." ”

The Queen Mother suddenly calmed down again, and said with a light smile: "The mourning family is confused." Confused. Yuhiko said to go home tonight. ”

Only then did Gonggong Wei breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Queen Mother, you haven't slept for the past few days, let's sleep today." ”

"Get some sleep, it's time to get some sleep."

The sedan chair crossed the Mianshou Bridge steadily, and was carried step by step in the direction of Cining Palace.

As soon as he entered the gate of Cining Palace, the little mouse of the guard beside Prince Rong rushed over at a gallop.

"What's wrong, so urgent?" When Gonggong Wei saw the little mouse running sweaty, he knew that something was wrong.

"Queen Mother, just now the prince stabbed a guard at the door, and then he went out."

As soon as the Queen Mother walked in front of His Majesty in Cining Palace, her feet stopped for a moment, and she stepped on the steps again.

"The prince asked you to come and report the news?" Grandpa Wei asked.

The little mouse shook his head and said, "No, the guards stopped the prince alive and dead, and the prince stabbed their foreman to death, and went out by himself, and I was stopped by them." ”

"Got it, when you enter Cining Palace, talk quietly, don't babble. Got it? Gonggong Wei raised his hand and gently motioned for the little mouse to stand back.

Helping the Queen Mother into the Dongnuan Pavilion, Gonggong Wei leaned in front of the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, you are really a god, separated by 108,000 miles, how do you know that the prince was stopped by the guards?" How do you know that the prince broke out? ”

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "Hey...... has lived too long, and the mourning family has become a spirit, an old goblin. ”

The Queen Mother said and sat on the kang, and Gonggong Wei knelt on the ground and took off the embroidered shoes on the Queen Mother's feet.

"Queen Mother, I can't hide anything from you. You know everything, you can count everything. ”

The Queen Mother sat cross-legged on the kang and sighed uncertainly: "What's the use of knowing?" Now it's a useless old waste. ”

Father-in-law Wei poured a cup of warm tea, handed it to the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, General Li Muguang asked to see me yesterday, wouldn't it be more foolproof for you to meet and ask me?" ”

"Where is there anything foolproof in this world!" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea.

"Queen Mother, your step is too risky. In case the king of Dong'an County doesn't take the bait, we won't even have a way back. ”

"How could they not take the bait?"

"Queen Mother, the slave was in a hurry yesterday, and the slave was really worried that there would be a change in the plan of the palace."

"They want to change the guards in the palace, but they definitely can't do it without a valid reason, rather than the two sides in the palace when the net is broken, it is better to change the henchmen of the mourning family to the suburbs. They wish to replace the palace guards with their people, and the mourning family will simply plan and exchange our people out, and when the time comes, they will retreat to the suburbs, and they can feel at ease with our people staying there. ”

"Queen Mother, you really thought it through."

"No way, it's been ten years, I've been waiting for ten years, if I don't come on this day, I can't sleep peacefully for a day, it's good to come, success or benevolence? It's been a day or two. ”

"Queen Mother, the slave feels sorry for you. Look at how you've aged over the past decade. ”

"You say this again, the mourning family is not blind, look in the mirror every day, can you not know!"

"The slave feels sorry for you, master!"

"Okay, okay, let's say something happy about the mourning family. You still don't think your heart is heavy enough and annoying enough! ”

Gonggong Wei quickly wiped his tears, thought about it for a long time, thought of Wanying's pregnancy, squeezed a smile and said, "Queen Mother, do you say that Concubine Rong's baby is male or female?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, it was really cloudy and sunny, and she smiled: "The mourning family hasn't seen her in her arms, but it must be a son." ”

Father-in-law Wei burst into tears and smiled: "Queen Mother, the slave didn't even see it, you are still patriarchal?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled heartily and said, "What a patriarch! You can really see it in front of you, and the mourning family feels much more sorry for Huichang than Yan'er. ”

"That is, the Queen Mother said this, and the slave can testify. Back then, the princess and the queen mother were more eccentric. ”

"The princess of the royal family was born to marry her relatives, and the mourning family only hated that she didn't love Huichang more back then."

The topic unconsciously talked about the eldest princess of Huichang, who had passed away, and in order not to let the queen mother think more, Father-in-law Wei quickly diverted the topic and said: "The queen mother treats the prince too harshly. The sister and brother quarreled, and you reprimanded the prince without asking. The emperor made a mistake, and the prince was punished on his behalf. Sometimes the minions can't stand it, and they feel sorry for the prince for you! ”

"A small tree can't be grown if it is not cultivated! The mourning family is also for Yan'er's good. ”

"When the prince was a child, you always complained that the prince was naughty and disobedient, and would rather have three more princesses than this one prince, have you forgotten the queen mother?"

Father-in-law Wei mentioned the old anecdotes, which caused a smile on the Queen Mother's face, as if she was also immersed in the happiness of the past, and said: "How can you forget!" When Yuyan was a child, he was naughty. The mourning family really broke his heart for him. Or Huichang is sensible and obedient. Although the princess is good, it's a pity that we are an emperor's family, and we can't do it without heirs. The mourning family also wants to have a few more princesses, and they are pretty and beautiful around the mourning family to laugh and amuse, but what if there is no male heir? The ancestors didn't agree either! ”

Father-in-law Wei said with a smile: "Concubine Rong looks like a child and grandson with many sons and blessings. ”

The Queen Mother laughed even deeper, and said dotingly: "The mourning family really didn't expect that Concubine Rong would be able to conceive so soon." The mourning family saw that she was always soft and weak, and thought that her heirs would be difficult, but they didn't expect it to be a good life. ”

"The slave heard Mama Li from the palace say, 'Concubine Rong was just pregnant for a while, and she liked to eat sour, so she must be a son of the world.'"

As a parent in the world, the happiest thing is to hug your grandson, although the grandson has not been hugged yet, but when the child in Wanying's belly is mentioned, the smile on the queen mother's face has not dissipated.

"Whether it's a man or a woman, the mourning family is happy. If a man is born, the ancestors are happy in heaven; If a daughter is born, the mourning family is happy. ”

"The slave just said, the queen mother has never been a patriarchal master." Father-in-law Wei wanted to say that the Queen Mother was very spoiled to Princess Huichang back then, not like a patriarchal mother. But when the words came to his lips, he changed another article.

"If it's a princess, the mourning family will be raised by her side and raised well."

"Gotcha! Minions get it! Before the little master was born, the queen mother was already pampered in her heart! The slave looks at Concubine Rong's birth, whether it is male or female, it is unspeakably expensive! ”

"The mourning family is estimated to be old in the past few years, and there is not a day when they don't want to hug their grandson. The emperor has been married for so many years, and he has no son and half daughter, Yan'er is twenty-six years old this year, and her daughter-in-law has just been pregnant. If the concubine Yu, the mother of the king of Beiping, is alive, it is estimated that she will be a great grandmother, and the mourning family is not even a grandmother. ”

"In the past few years, the prince has fought in the south and the north, if it weren't for the delay in state affairs, he wouldn't have survived to this day."

"It's twenty-six this year...... "The Queen Mother said and shook her head.

"Queen Mother, the so-called good things are grinding, and they come naturally. Now that the prince and the princess are in harmony, are you still afraid that you won't be able to enjoy the blessings of your knees? The slave looks at the queen mother's great fortune behind! ”

"Good things grind, good things grind." The Queen Mother muttered and repeated the words of Gonggong Wei.

Father-in-law Wei carried the teapot and poured another cup of warm tea into the Queen Mother's empty cup.

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "The mourning family has been busy and confused recently, and they have forgotten this important event. ”
