Min'er smiled embarrassedly: "If you don't mention it, I really forgot." ”

Qingya took off her coat for her and said: "That fan was given to the emperor by the queen mother after the emperor took the queen mother into Beijing. In the past, regardless of cold or summer, the emperor would hold it in his hand when he was free, and the fan bone made of black jade was heavy and serious, and it was strange to look at. ”

"Is Grandpa Zhou still looking for it?" Min'er asked.

"Yes, I made two other fans and presented them to the emperor, and I didn't like it." Qingya said, "Zhou Huai has searched everywhere in the palace, but Shangyang Hall has not yet, but the slave has said it many times, we don't have it here." ”

"It's embarrassing for him, why don't you tell him the truth, I threw him into the pool of too liquid, so that he won't look for it everywhere." Min'er is open-minded.

"I can't say, Niangniang, let's put this matter on hold for now." Qingya thinks that the atmosphere between the emperor and the queen these days is very good, how to say that the fan is also given to the emperor by the queen mother, although a fan is not unusual, but since it is lost, it is not a big deal, why bother to turn it out and explain it, in case it annoys the queen mother or the emperor. After a long time, the relationship between each other is stable, and this trivial matter is not trivial.

Min'er didn't care, and said casually: "It's okay." ”

Qingya brought tea to the queen and said with a smile: "The emperor and Niangniang, for the first time, they have been talking for so long, and the slave and maid have been hanging their hearts, and they finally did not break up unhappily." ”

But Min'er didn't think about it according to Qingya's meaning, but recalled the past that Lord Song and the emperor said.

She also knew about the harsh government and heavy taxes of the year, and the people there in Yuanzhou also resented the imperial court for oppressing the people, and the news of the changing sky spread from the capital to Yuanzhou, and when she learned that the new monarch was exempted from paying taxes in various places for two years, the people beat gongs and drums and were happy, killing pigs and slaughtering cattle like a New Year's celebration, the emperor of the emperor, is really deserved.

"Come to think of it, the emperor has only been the emperor for three years, no wonder the queen mother often said that in the past, as long as she guarded the border passes, she managed the food and clothing of the people of Jizhou. Now, the affairs of the whole country fall on the shoulders of the emperor. ”

Min'er said to herself, she always felt that the emperor was not like the emperor, but she had only been an emperor for three years. After seven years of fighting, I am afraid that the anger in my body has not yet dissipated, but I have calmed down to serve the country and the people, putting aside the inexplicability of his treatment of himself, Min'er is not qualified to deny that Xiang Ye is a Ming Jun.

Qing Ya saw that although the queen didn't think about what she wanted, what she said was to praise the emperor's merits, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are really a great emperor." ”

Min'er bowed her head, but asked Qingya again: "You have been in the palace for twenty years, what is the difference between the past seventeen years and the current three years?" ”

Qingya was stopped by these words, but she couldn't help but answer, thought hard, and responded: "Most of the rules in the palace are in accordance with the past, and if you really want to say it, it looks orderly, but I always feel that something is wrong." She was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so she hurriedly curtsied and said, "The slave should die, the slave is too self-righteous." ”

Min'er let her get up and said gently: "I also think it's a little worse, and I'm even worse than you, I don't know what the heavenly royal family should look like, but it's just thinking nonsense." ”

The queen mother in the longevity palace heard that her son and daughter-in-law had talked for a long time, and she was really happy, and even the melons and fruits that had just been served were sent to Shangyang Hall by Mama Lin, and Mama Lin smiled helplessly: "How can there be less mothers, slaves and maids are not so dissatisfied." ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "If they are really good, I will be relieved, if I can hold my grandson in two years." ”

Mama Lin persuaded: "Your Highness and Your Second Highness are also grandsons, you can't be partial." ”

As soon as these words fell, words came, saying that the emperor ordered the eldest prince to be punished with twenty rods, in order to punish him for abusing the palace maid in the study in the summer, this time has been hit, and the emperor also sent someone to supervise the punishment, saying that no one can protect it, and naturally the queen mother must not stop it.

The Queen Mother was distressed and helpless: "That child did such a murderous thing, it would be impossible not to fight, but Ye'er himself was not good, he never cared about the child." The children are still young, and when they grow up and they are old, they are not afraid ......"

Mama Lin persuaded: "You relax, isn't the emperor in charge?" ”

The Queen Mother held her heart at the door and said: "How good it was in Kishu in the past, in this palace, everything is important, I can't relax at all, and I'm useless." ”

In the Begonia Palace, Wang Jieyu stood in front of the palace gate in despair, and finally saw someone carrying her son back, she hurriedly ran forward. The twenty big board almost killed his son, he didn't even have the strength to cry, and the eunuchs who were in charge of the punishment were not soft, and the pants under his waist were bloody.

"Xuan Taiyi, quickly Xuan Taiyi." Wang Jieyu personally picked up her son and sent her back to the room, cut open his pants for him, and cleaned his wounds. The child woke up in pain and screamed, and when the doctor came to take medicine, he couldn't bear the pain and punched and kicked, and was pressed by others, and tossed for a long time before he fell asleep from exhaustion.

When the imperial doctor left, he told Wang Jieyu that they would come on time to change the dressing for His Royal Highness, and after the broken wound healed, they would rub it from time to time to help the blood disperse.

Wang Jieyu was already sweating, after the imperial doctor retreated, she sat on the edge of the bed, gently shook the fan to coax her son to sleep, lifted her clothes and looked at the scars on her son's buttocks.

At this time, there was a movement outside the door, and soon, her palace maid Xiangwei came in with two porcelain bottles and told her: "Master, it was the lady concubine Pelzhen who sent the stick medicine." ”

"The doctor prescribed medicine, so don't use these." Wang Jieyu frowned, thinking that she went to ask Concubine Shu for help yesterday, and Concubine Shu promised to say a few good words for her in front of the emperor, could it be that now her son is beaten to death, is it the result of her saying good things? Since you want to fight, even if you tell yourself in advance, so suddenly, you can fight when you say it.

But Xiangwei said: "Er Zhen said, last night Concubine Niangniang went to ask the emperor, saying that this matter was mentioned at that time, the emperor said that he was busy, and said that he would discuss it again today, such a result, Concubine Niangniang did not expect it, please don't misunderstand." ”

Wang Jieyu frowned and looked at her palace maid, she is not a beauty, she can only be said to be not ugly, she was the strongest maid in the palace kitchen back then, and it was only after she gave birth to a child that she became thinner and thinner and became the appearance that she seems to be weak now. And the master doesn't have to regenerate the fire to cook, under the decoration of brocade clothes, no one mentions it without saying a word, and I can't see that she was once a fire girl in the kitchen.

She is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, and no one can deny this status, but no one takes her seriously.

"You mean it has nothing to do with Concubine Niangniang?" Wang Jieyu asked.

"The slave and maid can't say it, but I heard that before the emperor ordered to beat His Royal Highness, he was with the queen mother, and not long after he broke up with the queen mother, he sent a decree to the study to beat His Royal Highness." Xiangwei told her master what she heard, and speculated, "Didn't the emperor discuss it with the queen?" Concubine Niangniang specially sent Erzhen to pass the word, which may not mean this. ”

Wang Jieyu pursed her lips, turned her face away in a daze, and tears slid down her face: "This is my son, why didn't the emperor come to discuss with me." ”

She loves to cry, everyone in the palace knows that she is a master who will shed tears at every turn, some people pity her for being weak, and some people are annoyed that she is hypocritical, Lin Zhaoyi and the others hate her so much, naturally because she gave birth to her eldest son. When he heard that the eldest prince had been beaten, he gloated and waited to mock the Wang family in the future.

The queen mother heard that her grandson was fine, so she sent someone to greet and tell her a few words, and that's it, this nephew was about to come in to say goodbye, and she hadn't seen her for a few days, and she was even more worried about the child she had raised, and she was worried about the incense of their Shen family.

So coincidentally, Min'er was about to come to the Longevity Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and the two met unexpectedly, if it was in the past, after such an incident in Qinzhou, even if they were innocent in each other's hearts, it was impossible to act as if nothing had happened, and even Qingya felt embarrassed.

Especially at this moment, I have to go to see the Queen Mother. If Min'er retreats, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of deliberately avoiding suspicion, even according to the rules, and it should be Shen Zhe who waits and waits for the queen to leave before going to see the queen mother.

But Mama Lin greeted her, and when she saw that they had all arrived, she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is talking about it, Niangniang and the general, please hurry." ”

Mama Lin led the way in, Shen Zhe bowed down and asked Min'er to go first, Min'er came to him and said calmly: "Thank you to the general for sending me back to the palace that day, I think of it, I haven't thanked the general." ”

Shen Zhe was silent, he didn't know what to say. Min'er fell seriously ill after returning to the palace, and his heart had been hanging high for the past few days, but it was his brother who was with Min'er, and he didn't even have the qualifications to think about it.

Seeing the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sat beside Min'er, looked at her nephew, and then looked at her daughter-in-law, and said frankly: "You once had a relationship, and the emperor made such a ridiculous thing, and it was embarrassing to see each other from now on, even if you are both frank children, how can you not mind." ”

Min'er was silent, and the Queen Mother said: "But tell me to let go, from now on, those who are harmonious are all members of the family." ”

"After the son-in-law listened to his mother, this matter should not be mentioned again." Min'er said.

"Auntie, my nephew entered the palace today and asked for something." Shen Zhe suddenly spoke, and was laughed at by the Queen Mother, "If there is anything you say, it's still crepe." ”

Shen Zhe said calmly: "My nephew is not young, it's time to start a family." ”
