Mama Su Mala smiled so kindly, nodded slowly and said: "Life is inherited like this, all the advantages of the mother will reappear in the children, the brothers will inherit your wisdom and talents, and the princesses will have the same beauty and conduct as you, and you will look at them in the future, just like the queen mother and the slave maid look at you now, how much you like the children in the future, how much we like the mother." ”

"It turns out that Mama is the most boastful, and I am going to float to the clouds." Lan Qi was very happy, and said even more jokingly, "Don't just praise me, the emperor should be anxious when he hears it, and there is nothing wrong with him." The emperor must say when he looks back, the good ones are his, and the bad temper and small problems are mine. ”

Mama smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, the two of them spent the warm afternoon relaxedly, more than an hour later, the Empress Dowager got up, Lan Qi went to the pantry to serve tea, Su Mala combed the master's hair, the Empress Dowager said: "I dreamed in my dream that you were laughing, what a happy thing, this dream will go on forever." ”

Mama hurriedly said guiltily: "Is it that the slave is arguing with you?" After you rested, the slave and maid basked in the sun together, said some jokes, and indeed laughed from time to time, arguing with you, right, the master didn't sleep well? ”

"So you're really laughing?" The Empress Dowager didn't care, and said very curiously, "That is, I heard your laughter, and I had the same dream, that dream is down-to-earth and comfortable, how good it is to smile, people should live happily." ”

Mama is relieved, fix the bun, hold the jewelry box and let the master choose a few hairpins, the queen mother is old, this winter after a snow is urgent to dye the green silk, but the old man is most willing to clean himself up properly, even if it is just crooked on the kang with a fake sleep clock, sit up must be the palace maid to cut her hair, even if it is decided not to see anyone all day, no matter how simple the clothes and hair buns, they are all Zhou Zheng ironing.

Lan Qi prepared the candied date tea that the Queen Mother had liked for many years, red dates to nourish her face, the old people often said that she drank it every day over the years, so that her skin became more and more delicate than before, Xuan Ye was most greedy for the tender skin on Lan Qi's face, and she always wondered if it was because she loved to drink this tea. At this time, she came in with tea in her own hands, and was about to enter the inner hall, but when she heard the Empress Dowager and her grandmother talking, she only hesitated whether to go in, but she couldn't move her steps anymore, and listened to those words into her ears.

The Empress Dowager said: "This year, I feel that my body is getting heavier and heavier, and I want to live for more than ten or twenty years, and my body understands that now is the time for God to give me my last days, two years or three years, or longer?" I just want to live happily every day, no matter what. If you have flexible legs and feet, you really want to go back to Horqin again, and you want to walk around the north and south of the river, and also use your feet to measure the land of the Qing Dynasty, do you think I'm too greedy? ”

"It's been your wish for years." Mama said gently, "I thought back then, when the first emperor was growing and the country was stable, you would go back to the grassland to take a look, but the first emperor died young, and you had to carry the imperial court alone. ”

"Yes, I can't walk now if I want to, such a long road, the road is bumpy, I'm afraid I'm going to die on the road first." The Empress Dowager laughed at herself, but she didn't seem to be so pessimistic, she just affirmed the reality in front of her, and said, "In the early years, I was still very uneasy, thinking about what to do if I left Xuanye, he was a poor child without a mother, and he always lacked a piece of his heart than others." He has relied on me for more than 20 years, and now I feel that the burden on my shoulders is lighter, this child does not look at him as if he is thirty years old, he is still the same as when he was a child, he will not do it on his face, but in his heart he is completely dependent on the people around him. ”

Mama Su Mala smiled and asked, "Is the master lost?" The emperor now relies on Concubine De and no longer relies on the old grandmother? ”

The Empress Dowager actually laughed out loud and said very happily: "Of course he still depends on me, relying on the old grandmother can be generous and not afraid of people's jokes, does he dare to let people know that he relies on his own women?" After that, he sighed, "But he shouldn't rely on me anymore, otherwise I will suddenly leave one day, how pitiful Xuan Ye is?" ”

"Master......"

"Su Mala, last time I was sick, I prayed to God, prayed to the gods and Buddhas not to let me be delirious when I was dying, and let me leave this world with clear ears and eyes, I want to take a good look at my Xuanye and my grandchildren before leaving." The Empress Dowager seemed to be looking forward to something good, and her tone was so peaceful and gentle, "I want to take a good look at this majestic country again, and I will go underground to find him in the future, and I can tell him that after we entered the customs, not only was we not driven away by the Han people, but also governed this country into prosperity and wealth, and I can tell him that I have completed his hard work and ambitions for him." ”

Mama Su Mala smiled and said, "You just said that you want to be happy, why do you think of these things?" ”

The Empress Dowager also smiled: "Their brothers have fought all their lives, fighting for the country and women, what do you say will happen if you meet underground?" ”

Lan Qi was holding the tea outside, she was a little confused when she heard this, she thought that the Empress Dowager was talking about Emperor Taizong, so who did "their brothers" refer to? I couldn't help but feel a little unsure, but I still carefully held the tea and left, telling the palace maids that the tea was not ready, and I had to brew it again, and I was busy in my hands, and I couldn't help but remember what I said just now. She knew that it was the regent Dolgon who led the troops into the customs and welcomed the first emperor into the capital as emperor, and the empress dowager said "his hard work, his ambition", this "he" is Emperor Taizong, or the regent who has been deposed by the knighthood?

Lan Qi's heart was pounding, she hadn't heard the rumors from decades ago, it was still when she was a girl at home, listening to the gossip of the elders in the family, no one mentioned it after entering the palace, but today she heard it coldly, but it came from the mouth of the empress dowager herself, and when she thought about that magnificent era, she couldn't help but feel blood surging in her heart.

Halfway through the rebrewed tea, Mama came to urge her why for so long, saying that the Empress Dowager was afraid that Lan Qi was burned, Lan Qi did not hide it, saying that she heard some words just now, and she withdrew timidly for a while, but she didn't mention any of the regent's hard work and ambitions, and Mama didn't make a fuss, only comforted her: "The Empress Dowager said this kind of thing, and it was repeated several times, I listened to it with her, and she felt comfortable when she said it, so many years of involuntarily being involuntarily, there should always be someone around her who can listen to her talk." ”

silently disagreed, and said to Lan Qi: "If the Empress Dowager says this to you, you can also listen to the story, don't think she is verbose, she has worked hard all her life, and she can't match the hard work of these words in her heart." ”

In addition, Mama didn't say anything else, Lan Qi didn't dare to ask curiously, and then met the Queen Mother, the old man was already calm and calm, drinking tea and talking with Lan Qi, in the afternoon, a few Fu Jin entered the palace to ask for peace, and in the evening the prince came to ask for peace to the great grandmother, she accompanied the side, and spent the whole day peacefully.

The Empress Dowager has a fixed number of living days, and it should be the time to sleep, and she will not delay for a moment. On the way back from Cining Palace, Lan Qi thought of what the Empress Dowager said for no reason, as well as what Su Mala said later, she always felt that such a person seemed familiar, and she always felt that she had seen such a person somewhere, but she didn't remember which one she was after thinking about it for a long time, and laughed at herself because she had probably watched too much drama. And the things that the Empress Dowager hid in her heart were not the pain of the old man, she didn't want the Empress Dowager to tell her what was going on as if she had uncovered her scars, and then calculated the age, this must be an existence that even Xuan Ye didn't know.

Back in Yonghe Palace, Yinzuo had already been sent back by the Queen Mother, he was still naughty and refused to fall asleep as always, and today he refused to sleep under the excuse of not seeing Eniang, which made the nurses helpless. Lan Qi changed his clothes to see him, and wanted to teach him a good lesson with a tiger face, but as soon as his son was softly coquettish, the mother surrendered, and patiently listened to him chirp about today's events, but he was holding his son, and the mother and son fell asleep together.

Lan Qi slept with her son until the middle of the night before she woke up, and when she saw that the lights outside were dim, she didn't want to toss the palace maids anymore, so she continued to sleep with her son, and only waited for her son to wake up early the next day, so she brought the nurses to take care of the child.

went back to her room to wash and change clothes, and listened to Huanchun say what things to do today, Lan Qi didn't have to worry about the affairs of the six palaces now, and she didn't feel very idle, but that time in Concubine Rong's house, listening to Ji Xin's instructions on what her master was going to do next, she was confused.

But Concubine Rong not only remembered everything, not only replied with a simple "I know", but also carefully instructed Ji Xin how to deal with it, she admired the five-body throw on the side, but Concubine Rong laughed at her: "How difficult do you think it is, once born and twice cooked, what are you afraid of so smart?" ”

At this time, she was saying to Huanchun: "Sister Rong said that Zuo is just a big deal about the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the small family, you said that the next time my mother enters the palace, can I ask her?" ”

The master and servant were laughing, there were guests outside, thinking about who would go out so early in the morning, but seeing that Concubine Rong had arrived, Lan Qi joked that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, but Concubine Rong had a straight face as if she was unhappy, and sat down before saying: "Last night the concubine called Wan Chang in my house, I didn't care about what happened, and I happened to be uncomfortable and went to bed early, and then Jixin and they didn't dare to alarm me, and only this morning did they see her being carried back, saying that they knelt in Xianfu Palace all night, and I heard the palace maid say what happened yesterday, what are they." , Guifei is coming for you, Lan Qi, you have to have a number in your heart, is she crazy again? ”
