After killing Sima Wei, the king of Chu, two years passed peacefully. In the past two years, Zhang Hua has become a real minister of the humerus, handling the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. The emperor now goes down to court relatively early every day, and when he comes back, he can hide in the bedroom and fight crickets very comfortably.

In this way, it seems that it is the same whether you return to seclusion or not. Anyway, it's a day to go anywhere. If there is a reliable person to help take care of the government, and he will never covet the emperor's throne, then what else does the emperor have to worry about? The Emperor of the peaceful and prosperous era should be very good.

I didn't expect that in the spring of this year, the emperor would bring up this topic again, which seemed to have long been forgotten in his memory.

That day, looking at the peach blossoms in front of the Mingguang Palace, he said with emotion, "I miss the peach blossom mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, Nanfeng, when can we go there?" ”

I looked at him and asked the emperor if he wanted to go there to see it, or did he want to go...... "Retire for a long time, and never ask about the prosperity and decline of the world?"

His eyes were full of fascination, "Of course I didn't just go to see it, I want to go with you to the old mountains and forests, and from then on I will be with you to grow forests and grasses." ”

Looking into his eyes, I realized the seriousness of the problem. If he really thinks so, and intends to put it into practice. Then you have to plan ahead. Otherwise, if it is not done well, the peaceful and happy day that our Great Jin Dynasty has finally obtained will be over.

I tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, now that Zhang Hua and Ji Shao are helping you deal with the government anyway, you have nothing to worry about, why do you have to go into hiding?" ”

He said solemnly, "That's why I want to." Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the four borders are stable, and the people are rich, I will leave at this time. is also worthy of the people of the world. ”

I know he wants to go without regrets. Gone, don't leave any infamy behind. And now. It seems like the time has come.

His expression also seemed to say that if you don't leave now, when will you stay?

That being the case. I won't stop him anymore, as long as he's happy, it doesn't matter if he's an emperor or not. Anyway, I've been a queen for so long, and it's enough.

So I said to the emperor, "If you really want to leave, then we will have a good idea with Zhang Hua and Ji Shao. Fastest update. It is better not to cause too much fluctuation in the imperial court. Also, Wang Yan's second daughter is also fourteen years old this year, and she can get married. After marrying him, and then passing on the good governance to him, your father will be worthy of him. ”

The emperor nodded, and then asked me, "Our meow and Xiaoxiao, do you want to recruit horses for them before leaving?" We could take them to Peach Blossom Mountain in the early years, but now we can't. can't delay her daughter's youth. ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when I mention it, I get worried. Because, Meow Meow is almost ten years old this year. I don't know how many people reminded me that Meow Meow should get married. How old is my own daughter, and I don't know how old I am? But she has to be willing to marry. I don't force her to have a colt. Force her to marry.

After the emperor found out, he asked me several times in wonder, "Why don't you want to meow?" Men should get married, and women should get married. This is a necessary stage of life. ”

I can't answer this question either, the so-called son is not up to the mother, and when the daughter is older, she can no longer be like when she was a child, and her father and mother will decide everything for her.

I said to the emperor a little worriedly, "Meow Meow is a little weird during this time, sometimes I see her here tending to flowers and plants, doing it, but actually stopping and starting." ”

When the emperor heard this, he laughed happily, "Haha, my daughter has grown up and started to have something on her mind." Don't worry, it's not that she doesn't want to marry, it's just that she hasn't met anyone she wants to marry for the time being. Meow Meow is the eldest princess, her identity is so noble, how can she look at ordinary ordinary people? Naturally, you have to pick a good one. You're also a person from the past, don't you know that once a girl likes to be in a daze, she has a sweetheart? When he said that, I squirmed a little. The emperor's words should just be a matter of facts, and there will be no deep meaning, right?

It shouldn't be, King Qi has been going to Xishan to meditate for two years, and the past has long since turned into nothingness in the years. Thinking of this, I felt a sense of melancholy. Once upon a time, I was also the same as Meow Meow, a young girl who would sit in a daze. Now, my daughters are all of this age.

The emperor suddenly changed the topic and said to me: "Nanfeng, I haven't seen Uncle Wang for two years, I really want to meet him."

It's a bit of a problem, how can you see it? Decree summoning him to the Hajj? It's not suitable, people are now people outside the world, and they shouldn't bother him anymore. Again, even if he is called, he may not come. ”

I told the emperor my thoughts, and the emperor immediately said, "I don't plan to call him, he is my imperial uncle, and he is a man outside the world." I want to see him, of course, and I will go up the mountain to see him myself. ”

It turned out that even this had been thought about, so it could be seen that it was not a momentary thought, but really planned to go up the mountain to meet King Qi.

I asked him, "When does the emperor plan to go?" "Will he go alone, or will I go with him?

"After I get married, my wish has been fulfilled at that time, and I have nothing to worry about, just in that kind of place far away from the red dust and have a long conversation with people who are far away from the red dust."

Since he had thought of everything, I naturally tried my best to fulfill his wish. I proposed, "It's better to invite the concubine here, and let the emperor talk to him about the big wedding first, and see what he wants and plans." ”

When the emperor talked to Tai, I went to Meow Meow's bedroom to find Meow Meow. Their fathers talked earnestly, and we talked earnestly with mothers and daughters.

I made up my mind, I didn't alarm anyone, and went to Meowmeow's place alone. Xiaocui brought someone to follow, I waved my hand and said, "No need, I'll go to Meow Meow's place, I want to talk to her alone, it's better not to be present." ”

Passing around the backyard, I heard from afar that there seemed to be a lot of people in the house, babbling into a mess. What surprised me even more was that when I walked all the way from the backyard, there was not even a person to pass on. What is going on, until I walked into the hall, I saw a group of palace maids rolling the dice together. Is this still talking? When did the princess's dormitory become a casino? I yelled, "What are you doing? ”

The palace maids hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed one after another to apologize.

I'll leave them alone for now, and I'll find my daughter first. I asked them sharply, "What about the princess?" ”

"The princess was picked up by His Royal Highness as soon as she came back from Niangniang in the morning."

"Did you say go

"This, the princess doesn't explain, and we don't dare to inquire. Only when I accompanied the princess to Di Ah Huan knew. ”

I was furious, "What's the use of you?" You don't know the whereabouts of the princess, and the affairs of the palace are also abandoned like this. ”

"Mother's life!"

"Get out there for me! Now that I've got the princess back, I'll consider whether or not to spare your lives. ”

Actually, at this time, qi is still secondary, and I am mainly anxious. The princess was missing from the palace, and none of the servants knew where she had gone.

I sat in Meowmeow's palace until the evening and didn't wait for her to come back. Sent someone to the East Palace to inquire, and said that Tai had not come back either. As for where Tai went, they couldn't say clearly, and said that Tai's recent actions were always very mysterious and not let anyone know.

It's really bold, what a noble identity my cat is, and an unmarried girl, it is already very undesirable to smuggle her out of the palace, how can she still stay outside the palace?

I wanted to go back to the palace to discuss with the emperor first, to see if I should send the forbidden army to search the city. But I saw Xiaocui running in in with a panicked face and said, "Niangniang, there is news from the Taiwei Mansion that Mrs. Tai is not very good."

I hurriedly ran out and asked her, "What did the visitor say?" ”

Xiaocui said, "I didn't say anything specific, I just said that the condition is serious, please go back." When the emperor got the news, he immediately sent me to inform you, and he himself was arranging a chariot and horse honor guard, and he wanted to accompany you back. ”

I know he was afraid that my mother would get sick this time. As a son-in-law, he went to see her off the old man for the last time. If my mother's illness is really serious, I will have to stay at the bedside to serve the decoction, so what will happen to Meow Meow?

I got into the chariot full of anxiety and returned to my mother's house in the Taiwei Mansion at night.
