The matter of the Emperor's Mausoleum was like a snowstorm, and soon the entire Taiji Palace, and even the Chang'an Sect and the noble mansion were involved.

The saint strictly ordered a thorough investigation of the emperor's mausoleum, all the palace nobles and female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau and the palace maids who participated in the emperor's mausoleum were carefully investigated, and the people in the Chang'an Guifu were also panicked for a while, lest disasters fall from the sky, after all, this is a major crime of rebellion, once it is implicated, it may be the end of the family and the extermination, no one dares to underestimate it.

The originally lively Taiji Palace also calmed down, and the palaces were closed, not teaching people to enter and exit at will, for fear that it would cause trouble, and this snow did not stop for several days, and it seemed lonely, and even the palace people who walked around were much less.

The earth dragon was burned in the Ganlu Palace, and the thick carpet was spread out in the warm hall, and the Queen of Heaven sat on the table in a homely dress and pointed to Gu Mingzhu and Princess Anping cutting plum branches with a smile: "...... That branch is too long, it should be cut off, and there are too many side branches, and it will be scattered when you look at it, and only the main trunk should be left after repairing. ”

While laughing, she took silver scissors and straightened up, cutting off a few branches of Lamei: "You must know that the main and secondary are clear, don't be reluctant to let these idle branches, these are not able to grow flowers, and it is useless to keep them." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart moved when she heard this, and she glanced at the queen of heaven, only to see that she didn't look at the two of them with a smile, but just looked at the pot of plums, as if she was really talking about pruning flower branches, and she couldn't see if she meant anything else.

However, Princess Anping happily used scissors on the left and scissors on the right to prune a plum into bare branches, and then looked at it and pouted: "Why do you look uglier." ”

The queen couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, and said with a smile: "You cut off all the flower bones like this, and you want to see it again!" ”

Princess Anping was suddenly deflated, put down the silver scissors, covered her mouth and yawned: "This is too boring, I still can't learn, A-Niang still don't let me learn." ”

The queen of heaven looked at her, shook her head helplessly, and said angrily: "You don't do your homework well, and the needlewoman has never learned, and now you can't even learn this, but how to marry in the future, I really don't feel at ease." ”

He smiled with Gu Mingzhu and said: "Mingzhu can learn it, and he can also have a method of self-cultivation in the future." ”

Gu Mingzhu responded softly, and used small silver scissors to cut off an idle branch on the plum blossom, and then sat down on the side.

Xu Siyan opened the curtain and entered the hall, and said softly: "The county lord of Changping is asking to see him outside the hall. ”

Zhou Chuchu is here.

The queen smiled lightly: "With such a big snowstorm, it's hard for her to come to the Manna Hall in person, let her in." ”

There was no joy or anger on his face.

Zhou Chuchu, who was dressed in a rose sable mouse Zhaojun set, helped the maid's hand into the hall, she had always been dressed up at this time, but her face was not powdered, Rong Chang's face was pale, faintly with a hint of sickness, and he walked to the queen of heaven and bowed down on his knees: "Niangniang is well, and the courtiers ask Niangniang to say goodbye." ”

He saluted Princess Anping on the side in a dignified manner, and even saw Gu Mingzhu's courtesy, so he got up and stood aside.

The queen of heaven still smiled kindly: "I haven't seen you for a while, and my face doesn't seem to be very good, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Chuchu was uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't hear whether the queen of heaven was dissatisfied with her in her words, so he had to show his weakness, and replied softly: "Some time ago, when the sun left the palace, I was windy, and some of them were cold, although I didn't worry about it, I was still afraid that I would give the nobles a sick breath, so I raised it in the Splendid Hall, but it was not good. ”

She coughed a few times, raised her eyes and looked at the queen of heaven, her face was full of a supple and careful smile: "It is also that A-Niang heard that Niangniang's health is not very good these days, and she is very worried, and wants to enter the palace to ask Niangniang to ask for peace, but she is afraid that Niangniang will not see her when she is recuperating, so she ordered someone to send the high-grade Goryeo Yeshan from Liaobei day and night to participate in the tiger bones. ”

She coughed a few times while covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and then turned back and ordered the things to be brought to the temple, and then retreated to the side and waited for the queen to speak.

Looking at the heavy boxes, the queen's smile deepened: "Such a precious and rare object is difficult to find for your aunt, she has been in the palace often to walk around, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I still think about it." ”

Zhou Chuchu seemed to hear a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly bent his knees and said: "A-Niang has always been thinking about entering the palace to greet Niangniang, and instructed the courtiers to serve Niangniang well, and not to be slack." ”

The queen of heaven smiled: "That's it, I accepted your heart first, thank you for me." ”

At this moment, the big stone in Zhou Chuchu's heart finally fell, and he hurriedly agreed, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

The queen of heaven still kept Zhou Chuchu in the palace and talked for a while, as if she had no problem with the previous matter, Princess Anping was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to speak rashly, just pulled Gu Mingzhu and whispered: "Is it possible to look at her in the future?" ”

Gu Mingzhu shook her head gently, pursed her lips and smiled with her, and whispered softly: "Let's see what Niangniang does." ”

She wouldn't believe that the queen of heaven would be the kind of soft-hearted person, since Zhou Chuchu chose Han Guifei, she should no longer think that she could please the queen of heaven and hide unharmed.

While he was talking, King Xian and his wife also came to the Ganlu Hall to meet the Queen of Heaven, and they were already waiting outside the hall.

"It's lively again." The queen of heaven seemed to be talking about homely things, and said to Zhou Chuchu and Gu Mingzhu with a smile, "It's so cold, don't let them wait outside, please come in and sit down." ”

Li Yu, who was dressed in a lynx fur, strode into the hall, looked at the queen of heaven with surprise on his face, and hurriedly bowed down: "Queen Mother." ”

Straightened up, his eyes were slightly red: "These days, the sons and daughters have been sleepless at night, just because of the queen mother's body, the queen mother's serious illness has not healed, and the sons and daughters are worried every day, and they don't even dare to alarm the queen mother with a big gift, I really hope that the queen mother can get better as soon as possible, and now I finally get my wish, the son, the heart of the son-in-law ......."

His voice was a little choked, and his handsome face was even more sad and joyful.

The princess Xian who followed him in was dressed as a princess, and her demeanor was a little similar, she came forward to salute the queen of heaven, and retreated behind Li Yu obediently, occasionally looking up at Li Yu with admiration and some awe in her eyes, not as unscrupulous as she was at the beginning.

Her gaze quietly swept over Zhou Chuchu and Princess Anping, and finally landed on Gu Mingzhu, which tightened imperceptibly, and quickly lowered again.

The queen of heaven looked at the two of them, as well as the sincere look on Li Yu's face, and laughed: "I know your intentions, you can also sit down." ”
