Compared with the excitement of Concubine Shugui's entanglement of resentment and hatred, the girl seemed much calmer, as if she was unconditionally obedient, and as if she had determined her fate before Concubine Shugui, she would become the queen, and she must become more amazing than Qiu Min'er.

Two days later, the holy driver left Yuanzhou, together with the old lady Qiu, who had lived in Yuanzhou for nearly 30 years, also returned to Beijing, for the people of Yuanzhou, the emperor's preferential treatment for many years may disappear, and the old lady Qiu will not come back.

However, in order to thank Yuanzhou for bringing her thirty years of peaceful and peaceful life, Mrs. Qiu instructed Min'er when she left, and when she died, she would be buried back in Yuanzhou, at least for the next few decades, she could also use the glory of the queen to protect this side of the water and soil.

The elderly old lady has made arrangements for the future of many people, but she has no instructions for Min'er, but she just said that she originally felt that she was too old and weak, and she enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this life, and she had no nostalgia to leave with peace of mind, but now she really wants to see the children in Min'er's womb born safely, and even watch them grow up again. Naturally, that's all for later.

The advance troops sent the news to the capital early, Shen Zhe and Yunshang personally chose a secluded and peaceful courtyard, and sent people to clean up day and night, and the team returning to Beijing was slower than when they went because of the old lady and the queen's pregnancy, and when they slowly returned to the capital, it was mid-July.

The early autumn is still hot, the emperor and his entourage arrived in Beijing, and sent Mrs. Qiu to the other courtyard, Xiang Qin and Shen Zhe and his wife took their daughter Shen Qing to wait here, Yunshang became intimate when he saw the two elders, the old and the young helped each other to go to the depths of the courtyard, Min'er inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emperor and Shen Zhe's eyes intersecting, one seemed to be asking something, and the other quickly gave an answer. Although the emperor barely mentioned it, he left Beijing for Yuanzhou in the first place, just because of the Assassins.

The two men soon flashed to the side, and when Min'er saw that her grandmother and mother were happy, and that Yunshang was chattering, and that the children were gathered together, she also threw herself into their pleasures, and put aside the unpleasant things.

Although the place where the annex is located is quiet, it is not an inconvenient place to travel in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is only a quarter of an hour's walk from the back gate of the imperial city. It's just that the queen returned to the palace to go through the back door, and had to leave the courtyard, and then came back from the main palace gate in a dignified manner, and then greeted the queen mother, and packed up their things.

A pair of daughters were left in the courtyard, only the son who got out of school was by his side, Xiang Runzheng copied the calligraphy neatly, and asked his mother from time to time: "Can Erchen go to see his great-grandmother tomorrow?" ”

Min'er came up to look at his writing, touched his son's head and said, "Your mind is all playing, and after a few days, this word has gone back." ”

Xiang Run puffed out his mouth and whispered: "Father's words are also unsatisfactory, Queen Mother, I think I am already stronger than my father." ”

Min'er smiled: "What's wrong with being stronger than your father, you have to be stronger than yourself." ”

Xiang Run muttered: "My sisters can play all day long, I can't be lazy for half a day." When the second sister went out today, she didn't forget to tell me to remember to practice calligraphy after returning to Hanyuan Palace. ”

Min'er smiled and said nothing, pointing to the lack of her son's handwriting on the paper, and said, "Just write these words a few more times." ”

After saying this, it was rumored that the second prince Xiang Feng had arrived, and Min'er led his son out to see him. Xiang Feng said that everything was settled, and he wanted to go back to Anle Palace to ask the queen if she had any other instructions.

"I've worked hard for you this time, go back and rest." Min'er said gently, "Tomorrow morning, I should follow your father to the early court, I really can't be idle for a moment, and your father doesn't know your hard work." ”

Xiang Feng said heartily: "My father has been in power for 20 years, and he can't stop for a day, and my father has never said hard work lightly, and his sons are nothing to do." ”

Min'er bowed: "With a son like you, he is relieved even if he works hard." Okay, go and rest, don't be greedy for the cold at night. ”

After saying this, Xiang Feng retreated, Run'er stood beside her mother without making a sound, and when her brother left, he said to Min'er: "Queen Mother, I want to continue to go back to practice calligraphy." ”

Min'er nodded, her son turned around and ran away, and Qingya whispered on the side: "With such an elder brother as an example, our four highnesses are not convinced." Or the mother understands her son, not a slave and maid to talk big, if she is replaced by the imperial concubine, she must be in a hurry, and she can't wait to force the child to read and write day and night. ”

"The ambition is his own, I force him will only backfire, proper guidance is enough, whether he has the heart to learn well or not, maybe it is destined from the moment he is born." Min'er said lightly, "It should be his, I won't let people get involved easily, and I will never force it if it shouldn't be his." ”

Qingya said: "But you have cultivated the second prince and the third prince with extra care. ”

Min'er gently lifted the tulle on the crook of her arm, and the light of wisdom flashed in her eyes: "Didn't you also say that with a good brother as an example, the little guy will be unconvinced." ”

Over the years, although she is a mother-in-law, in fact, for the second prince and the third prince, Min'er's identity is almost no different from that of her stepmother, and the most difficult thing to do in this world is her stepmother, but for more than ten years, no one can find fault with the queen.

She tried her best to cultivate the two princes, in the eyes of others, this is completely to make trouble for the future of herself and her son, she can completely let the children grow up in a daze, let them become mediocre people, but Min'er did not, she made the emperor's son the best person, and became a person who threatened Run'er's future.

In fact, for the emperor, whether he is a concubine or a concubine, it is his flesh and blood, he may prefer Min'er's children, but as the lord of the world, considering the future of a country and the royal family, it cannot be measured by selfishness. As an elder brother, he didn't feel his younger brother's admiration for his brother, but felt that he was responsible to his younger brother because he was an elder brother, and he also hoped that the fourth prince could also have younger brothers and sisters, and he could also understand the meaning of responsibility from an early age.

But Min'er is different, her own son is her child, no matter how intimate Xiang Feng and Xiang Hao are, they are other people's flesh and blood after all, she has done something sorry for their mother, so she must not treat their brothers badly. When the brothers and sons look back on the past, they can remember their mother's cultivation intentions, at least except for the grievances of their biological mother, they themselves have nothing to hate. As for Min'er's intentions for them, most of them are also for her son, she needs to give her son the best example, so that Run'er understands that only better can surpass her brothers, instead of feeling that her brothers are inferior to herself since she was a child, and she is self-righteous and complacent all day long.

She and Qingya walked back to the study, and saw Run'er concentrating on writing, and every stroke was extremely serious, Qingya smiled: "You haven't told Your Highness that he is going to be a brother." ”

Min'er said: "This is something that even I didn't expect, now I don't know if it's too late, having a boy and a girl has a great impact on Run'er, the emperor is already at this age, and no one can say what will happen in the future." ”

Qingya said: "The emperor is the life of longevity, and the mother doesn't have to worry." ”

Min'er smiled: "Is it because he is worried about his long life, and he will wait for another twenty years?" Thirty years? The princes should complain if they are princes for a lifetime, I look forward to the emperor's longevity, but I don't want him to be an emperor for a lifetime. ”

"Mother?"

"It's still early, how old is Run'er?" Min'er Yun smiled lightly and instructed Qingya, "The two girls won't come back today, but I'll pick them up tomorrow, this is the capital and not Yuanzhou, they don't forget their identity." ”

It's night, the night sky is clear, in the end it's autumn, it's not as irritable as midsummer, you can get a burst of coolness by shaking the Luo fan lightly, after bathing in fragrant soup, Xiang Qin is sitting under the window, her sister is combing her hair, Yuan Yuan, who has always been grinning, will always ask gently when taking care of his sister: "Does it hurt, does it hurt?" ”

Xiang Qin would ask her sister: "Is my sister hot?" ”

"The capital is hotter than Yuanzhou." Xiang Yuan said, "It's a pity, we will never go to Yuanzhou again, my grandmother and grandmother are going to settle in the capital and will not leave again." ”

Xiang Qin said: "In the future, when we grow up, we can go by ourselves, if my sister likes Yuanzhou, and in the future, the princess's mansion will be set in Yuanzhou, what's not to do?" It's just that it's a little troublesome to travel to and from the capital, and when your father and queen mother miss you, you can't see you all the time. ”

"I've grown up, what about you?" My sister suddenly came up from behind, hugged her sister's chest with both hands, and touched the bulging little ball, Xiang Qin screamed and avoided it, it was painful and shy, and her face was red. Outside the door, the nurse came in in a panic and asked what was wrong, and the sisters laughed again and sent everyone away.

Xiang Qin covered her chest and said softly: "Sister, don't mess around, you can't touch it there, we are all big girls." ”

Xiang Yuan whispered softly in her ear, the little girl's face became redder and redder, and she said goodbye: "Sister is talking nonsense again, I am going to sue the queen mother." ”

The two sisters snuggled together, Xiang Yuan shook the fan loudly, and said softly: "Qin'er, I met an amazing person in Yuanzhou." ”

Xiang Qin tidied up his clothes and asked nonchalantly: "What kind of person, three-headed and six-armed?" ”

"yes, maybe it's the three-headed and six-armed one." Xiang Yuan is immersed in her own world, she understands very well that she meets He Jingxuan Pingshui, but after getting along for a day or two, she doesn't know each other at all, and her identity as a princess is also the most unspeakable, they will never see each other again in the future. And that person will continue to exist in her memory as she imagined, and after a long time, He Jingxuan will not be He Jingxuan, but will become the person she imagined.

The sisters' minds were not at all in the same place, and Xiang Qin said: "Brother Yun didn't come today, he will definitely come tomorrow, sister, you haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Xiang Yuan didn't hear it at all, he still thought about the beauty of Yuanzhou, and muttered to himself: "I'll never see you again." ”
