Remember [800♂ Little ÷ Say → Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Tidy up the desk for the fat man, and see that the few books and scrolls he likes to flip through on the desk are a little old and worn, which is very unsightly, and the girl and I have obsessive-compulsive disorder for a while, so I went to get kraft paper, white twine, clear glue and other things, and planned to rebind them.

Book binding is a family heirloom of the Leng family, and my father is particularly exquisite, and he is also one of the best in the whole Jinling City. Before I crossed over to run "Guangmu Zhi", the Leng family basically only supported their family by receiving binding work, so Leng Xinyue and Leng Jiashu had learned some binding skills.

My father often said that making binding is a self-cultivation job, and when you put yourself into it, you will feel happy in it. I sat alone in the corner of the Siqi Hall where I could bask in the sun, punching holes, writing books, leads, and wrapping corners step by step, and it was rare to be calm, leaving behind many anxieties in the past few days.

I don't notice when a person is standing in front of me.

When I sighed with satisfaction and flattened the third book, I saw a pair of crested shoes with goose yellow face and emerald edges, and then a brocade skirt with colorful cloud and crane patterns, which was a typical low-key luxury with connotation.

I couldn't help but look up and see a dignified middle-aged woman standing in front of my desk, "You are ......"

"Bold!" As soon as I spoke, I was startled by the palace maid behind her, "Seeing the queen's mother, don't bow and salute!" ”

Emperor...... Empress?! I jumped up with a spirit, and quickly knelt down: "The female official of the East Palace is cold Xinyue, please say hello to the queen!" ”

"It turned out to be a female official, just keep it flat." The queen was kind, and took the "Li Weigong Asks Right" that I had just framed on the table, "This is what you pretended?" It's fine-tuned. ”

"Yes." I replied while looking at the mother of a country in front of me: the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, the original wife of Zhu Di today, and the biological mother of the fat man and the second prince.

Queen Xu looks no more than forty years old, with a kind face, and a bit of heroism between her eyebrows.

It is said that when this Queen Xu was young, she was taught by her father and brother, was good at riding and shooting, had a hearty temperament, and was a typical tiger girl.

"Nowadays, there are not many young people who can bind the craft." Empress Xu held the book in the palm of her hand, opened it casually, and saw that a red silk thread slipped out of the crack of the page.

Empress Xu's expression suddenly changed, her slender fingers picked up the silk, stared at it for a moment, and suddenly raised her head and looked up and down on my face, "You just said, what is your name?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the courtier's daughter Yang Qingyue of Jinan Mansion." I was a little hairy by her staring.

"Jinan Mansion, Yang Qingyue ......," Empress Xu muttered to herself, and then asked, "Where did you learn this binding technique?" ”

Her question made me a little confused.

The difference between my cold home bound books is that the white twine is the eight-eye needlework created by my father, which is worn to the bottom of the book with red silk thread to tie a jade knot, and then leave a three-inch long red silk thread to weave into a half-finger-wide lark line. This can not only play the role of strengthening the spine, but also beautiful and exquisite, but also a bookmark with the book, sandwiched in the pages of the book for easy flipping and finding.

This little bit of caution is my father's originality, which can be called the anti-counterfeiting mark of the cold home decoration book. However, looking at Queen Xu's expression, she had obviously seen this lark.

A strange feeling rose in my heart: Could it be that Queen Xu knows my father?

However, if Daddy really has a relationship with the emperor's wife...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!

In a blink of an eye, I had made a decision, so I replied: "Back to my mother, when I was young, my courtiers studied under a gentleman, who was good at binding, and taught her a lesson or two in my spare time. ”

Queen Xu's eyes lit up: "What's your husband's name?" ”

"The courtier's daughter was young at the time, and she didn't know the name of the gentleman, but she remembered respecting him at that time," I looked at Empress Xu's reaction, "Mr. Jingtai." ”

"Mirror stand...... Empress Xu's face ...... a flash of excitement visibly flashed on her face, and her hands holding the book trembled a little.

Empress Xu even knew my father's nickname when he was young, and she really had a lot of articles...... I can't help but admire my dad a little while gossiping: I have a story with the queen, dad you can!

"Do you know where this Mr. Kagami is now?"

I blinked, shook my head with a regretful expression.

I thought to myself: I'm not lying, it's not that I don't know, it's that I can't tell you.

Empress Xu's eyes flashed with a clear regret, and she was about to say something more, when she heard the voice of the fat man at the door: "The son is late, I hope the queen mother will forgive me!" ”

The regret in Queen Xu's eyes was fleeting, and she turned around and returned to her graceful and loving appearance, and said to the fat man: "My son doesn't have to be polite, there is nothing important in this palace, but I came to see you, and my imperial grandson." ”

The fat man showed a well-behaved smile, making him look as cute as Winnie the Pooh, "Thanks to the queen mother's concern, Lin'er and I are all well." With that, he stepped forward and took Queen Xu's hand, and went to the inner hall.

Empress Xu glanced at me before leaving, and said to the fat man, "You female official, you have made a good choice." ”

The pride on my face was seen by the fat man, and he smiled lightly: "It seems really good to be praised by the queen mother." By the way, the queen mother, the son happened to have an old matter that he wanted to ask......"

Seeing Queen Xu and the fat man leave, I continued to stay in the Siqi Palace, but I couldn't find the mood of the binding.

Pinching the red thread of the lark silk, I couldn't help but wonder: What is the relationship between my father and Queen Xu?

I once heard Uncle Zhou, the porter, say that when my father was young, he was not the same as he is now, drinking and playing cards, cynical appearance, but a genuine talent, not only outstanding appearance, but also a subset of history, poetry and songs, and obscene skills.

may be that the interests are too wide and there are too many distractions, so the imperial examination is not smooth, but after passing the examination, there is no way to advance, so he took over the family business of the Leng family, married a wife and had children, and lived an ordinary life.

Then when did he fall willingly?

I gossiped and thought: No, it has something to do with this Queen Xu, right?

I can't help but sigh: Our Leng family is too "promising", my father made the queen remember it first, and I turned a fat man's "heart" again...... This is going to let the emperor know, and it is estimated that he has the heart to behead my Leng family.

"What do you think? A sad look. The fat man's voice appeared in my ears coldly, and it startled me.

"My queen mother has always been dignified and dignified, and she seldom praises people. Today I praise you like never before. The fat man quipped to me, "You're so likable." ”

"Where, the queen just looks at my binding skills."

The fat man stepped back and sat down beside me, "I just asked the queen mother about the abolition of Concubine Shun. ”

"Oh?" mentioned to the fat man before, he said that the palace has always been silent about the concubines who entered the cold palace, so he is not very clear about the background of this waste concubine.

"I think about the harem, and no one knows more clearly than my mother. Sure enough, this waste concubine has some origins:

When my father, Emperor Long Qian, was the king of Yan guarding the northern border, he led an army to conquer Tatar, defeated the Alutai department, and expanded the northern frontier for more than 100 miles. The Great Khan of the Arutai Department asked the Ming Dynasty for peace and became a minister, and in order to show his loyalty, he also sent his own daughter Saihan to the court, and was accepted by my father as the side princess, that is, the later concubine Shun.

However, this Tatar princess is quite arrogant, arrogant and unruly, and has never been liked by my father. Later, not long after my father Emperor Jingnan ascended the throne, Aru Taibu thought that he was full-fledged, and he was not subordinate to my Daming, and my father was annoyed, and at that time he actually investigated and punished Concubine Shun Saihan and his father and brother secretly communicated letters, although it was only a family letter, but it made my father more and more disgusted with this woman, and simply cut her position and entered the cold palace, and now it has been more than five years. ”

"It turns out that Concubine Shun is actually a Tatar." I thought, "A nameless and powerless waste concubine has no use value, why is Ziyan related to her?" Reminiscent of eavesdropping on the corner of the Marseille race wall last night, and hearing her address to Ziyan, "Can Your Highness send someone to check if there is a middle-aged palace maid named Suxin next to Concubine Shun in the Qianxi Palace?" ”

"Okay." The fat man looked at me, his clear eyes looked quiet and soft in the bright afternoon sun, "Xinyue, I am in the position of the prince, but I still have to worry about your future and safety, what can I do." ”

I lowered my eyes when he looked at me, and a touch of embarrassment flashed in my eyes, "Your Highness once sacrificed his life to save me, this is what I owe you, and I should do my best." ”

"Really, only gratitude?"

"Yes."

The fat man sighed slightly in disappointment, "It's me, because the queen mother praised you, so I had some extra thoughts...... That's it, you girl, you're very stubborn. ”

The girl said in my heart: My reputation is so bad? Why do you evaluate me one by one, either "causing trouble" or "being very stubborn", I obviously have a lot of advantages, okay......

"Someone once said to me, you have a temperament like this, you can't stand being confined to the circle, as long as you do what you like, and you will be safe and happy in your life."

I really wanted to ask who was saying this, but after thinking about it, I couldn't ask.

The fat man smiled silently: "Now, I have the same mind, as long as I can protect you, peace and joy." ”

"Your Highness...... "My heart was warm and sour, and I didn't know how to speak, but I suddenly saw the fat man's brows frowning and his face changed, "What's wrong?" ”

The fat man's expression became more and more painful, and he opened his mouth but spat out a mouthful of blood with "wow".

"Your Highness!" I hurriedly grabbed the crumbling fat man, and called Gonggong Wei, who was waiting at the door, to call the imperial doctor, and I and the palace maid wanted to help him to the couch.

Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, the fat man was already weak in his knees and fell to the ground.

The little palace maids were frightened, and they hurriedly wanted to step forward to help, but they were all driven out of the door by the fat man waving his hand.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I've been poisoned?!" I knew in my heart that he only had an ulterior motive for leaving me by his side, in order to hide people's eyes, "Who poisoned His Highness?!" ”

In fact, in this East Palace, the person who can attack the fat man, I and he both know it.
