In the Longevity Palace, a sumptuous lunch has been set up, and the Queen Mother originally intended to let the emperor and the queen have a meal together and talk about last night.

As a result, the queen arrived, but only Zhou Huai came to Qingming Pavilion with his eyebrows lowered, saying that the emperor was busy and couldn't come.

"Well, you remember to serve him and eat well." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, took Min'er's hand and said, "In the three years since I entered Beijing, I have not seen the emperor for seven or eight days out of ten days. ”

Min'er's clear eyes smiled slightly, not flattering or perfunctory, it was a smile that anyone would like to see it, and what she said was: "In the future, there will be concubines to accompany the queen mother to eat and talk, as long as the queen mother does not think the concubines are noisy and annoying." ”

Although the morning incident was somewhat embarrassing, the queen was filial to her biological mother, which was unreasonable but reasonable, but the queen mother heard that the emperor ordered that the queen's biological mother should not be allowed to enter the palace again, plus last night's incident, she always felt that her son was too wronged.

No matter how complicated the affairs of the previous dynasty were, it should not involve an innocent woman, and the queen mother's attitude towards the queen mother was a little unaccustomed.

Serving the Queen Mother and sitting down, Min'er cleaned her hands, picked up the jade chopsticks and porcelain plates to personally arrange dishes for the Queen Mother, she didn't ask Mama Lin what the Queen Mother liked to eat, nor did she ask the Queen Mother, but a few dishes picked up were placed in front of the Queen Mother, so coincidentally the Queen Mother loved to eat.

The Queen Mother was a person who couldn't hide things in her heart, so she asked: "Before you came, did you ask them what I like to eat?" These are the things I like on a daily basis. ”

Min'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "After returning to my mother, the concubine just picked a few foods that grandmother likes to eat, and did not ask your preferences in advance, which is the negligence of the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother didn't mind: "You are sincere, I heard that the old lady is the same age as me?" ”

Min'er said: "Yes, my grandmother is a stepfamily, and when she married into the Qiu family, she was the same age as her father, a few years older than you." ”

The queen mother ate the food in the bowl slowly, motioned for the queen to sit down and eat too, and asked about the queen's past life.

Min'er is generous, her words are kind and easy to understand, and she doesn't have to think about what people say between words, she simply sketches the scenery in Yuanzhou Village for the Queen Mother, and tells the Queen Mother to eat a good meal, and her appetite is better than usual.

The Queen Mother sighed: "You kid doesn't know how to be born, we just met for the first time, and we seem to have known each other for many years." ”

Min'er sincerely said to the queen mother: "Please forgive the queen mother, the concubine has been with the grandmother for 18 years, and now she is suddenly separated, and she can't worry about it in her heart, and when she sees that the queen mother's body and temperament are similar to that of her grandmother, she unconsciously puts that mind on you." ”

The Queen Mother sighed with emotion: "I heard that after the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion picked you up, they left Yuanzhou on the same day, although you will get married sooner or later, but the old lady must not have expected it to be so sudden, and now she must also be thinking about you." It's better to take the old lady back to the capital in a few years, and it will be easy for you to meet. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about these common things in a very good atmosphere, and Mama Lin quietly withdrew, and sure enough, Father-in-law Zhou was still outside the door and did not leave, Mama Lin said angrily: "Since the emperor is busy, why don't you go and serve." ”

Zhou Huai smiled awkwardly: "Mama, do you know ......?"

"What do I know?"

"This ......" Zhou Huai pursed his lips and stepped forward and said softly, "The slave wants to see the situation here, so that he can go back and tell the emperor." ”

Mama Lin glanced at the door, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were smiling happily, she shook the shawl on the crook of her arm, and said to Zhou Huai: "You just go and tell the emperor that the queen mother is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law." The queen is an extremely smart person. ”
