Liuli was very calm, unhurried, and said: "Today is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, as early as five months ago, the Queen Mother brewed plum blossom wine for His Royal Highness the Prince, counting the hour, there is still half an hour, and the wine will be opened." This plum blossom wine, the last step after the opening of the altar, is the most careful. You have to do it yourself. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head and said: "The queen has a motherly heart, and the mourning family is quite moved when she hears it." Not to mention the crown prince? ”

"Zhaoyun, you go and take a look, and see how Liuli does this final deployment. I learned it, and I have time to mourn Ming'er's family, and I will also brew some for the emperor. The Queen Mother said.

"Isn't Mama going to fetch the streamer palace brocade for Mrs. Beauty? It's better for the slave and maid to go back first, and then go to the Kunning Palace to find the slave and maid when the grandmother is done. "Liuli Road.

"It's okay", the Queen Mother said, "Let Zhaoyun go back with you, and I can help you with your work, otherwise we will learn your skills and not pay any tuition, wouldn't it be unkind?" Let the little girls do the trivial things of picking up things. ”

"Zhaoyun, you follow." The Queen Mother has already given an order, which means that there is no need to discuss.

Liuli couldn't, so she had to raise her eyes slightly and look at her master for instructions. The queen frowned, but she had to nod slightly.

Liuli saw her master's instructions, and it was worth taking Mama Bo back to Kunning Palace together.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything inconsequential, but said something that was true. Otherwise, let Mama Bo follow, but there is no plum blossom wine, how should she end?

When the queen saw that Liuli and Bo Zhaoyun had gone out, she didn't continue the previous topic, but got up and said, "Queen Mother, the sons are worried that Liuli is not doing it properly, so the concubines should follow and watch it for themselves." The concubine told ......"

"Don't worry", the Queen Mother raised her hand slightly and restrained her farewell, "The mourning family still hasn't finished talking to you, but they were all interrupted by their commotion." After dealing with this matter, the mourning family will talk to you, and it will not be too late for you to go back. ”

"This matter is between the crown prince and King Chen, now that the imperial concubine is not present, but the son is here, it seems that it is always unfair to King Chen. Erchen still went back first, and when the third child finished arguing about the matter, Erchen came back to talk to his mother. "Queen's Road.

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to continue to say the words of retention, King Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the queen's compassion." To be honest, the queen mother is here, and the ministers are a little uncomfortable. The prince's brother has the protection of his mother, but I don't. ”

The queen mother listened to King Chen's meaning, as if she wanted to leave by the queen.

Although he was puzzled for a while, he didn't say anything about retention.

Although the queen's face did not change, she was still dignified and calm, but in her heart, she was muttering.

What's going on? Didn't King Chen see that she wanted to move the emperor? Although the third child looks like a fool on weekdays, he has never been that stupid person. How could it be that you were so frightened because of this?

"Queen, even so, if you really want to leave, the mourning family will not leave you. We'll talk another day when we have time, it's not a matter of great deal anyway. But if you want to stay, stay and wait. Seeing that the queen was silent, the Queen Mother reminded gently.

"Yes......" The queen responded, but she paused for a while before she said, "The son-in-law thanked his mother for his understanding, and the son-in-law retired first." ”

I have already said all the reasons why I should leave, how can I sit back now? Whether to go to the emperor or not, that's a later story, in short, she can't stay in this Cining Palace.

The prince was also confused in his heart, and he really couldn't quickly figure out whether to let the queen mother go to his father according to the original plan, or give up the plan and end the matter. Therefore, when the queen looked at the prince, the prince could not give the queen any eye contact.

The queen left Cining Palace, and the queen mother said: "Hui Meiren, listening to your words, I am really wronged." The mourning family was negligent for a while, but it made you feel humiliated. When the mourning family is old, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are not thoughtful, so don't take it to heart. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare to ......," Qin Yingyue said.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, if you don't dare, why do you have to compete with the mourning family?" Hurry up. ”

Qin Yingyue pretended to hesitate, looking extremely embarrassed, but in the end, she still said, "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

"Imperial grandmother", Qin Yingyue was just about to get up, and the crown prince said, "Please imperial grandmother Mingjian!" There are some things that my grandson thinks, and now I can't say it. ”

"You say." The Queen Mother said lightly.

"The imperial grandmother may not know, in fact, when he was studying Taixue, the third brother has always been in love with Yue'er. It's just that Sun Er didn't know about it at the time, and it was only after Yue'er followed Sun Er that Sun Er determined it from the third brother's actions and other people's words. Sun Er knows that the third brother has never forgotten Yue'er, which is why he has today. ”

"Imperial grandmother, grandson is not the elder brother who doesn't love his younger brother, if the third brother really likes his grandson's beauty, whatever it is, grandson will definitely give it to him. But this Hui Mei is different, Hui Mei is also the person on the top of her grandson's heart. But in fact, if it was only because of this, the grandson would not have come to the imperial grandmother. The grandson came to Cining Palace, not for himself, but for the good of the third brother. ”

In order to delay time, the prince deliberately made a short story and said a long story, and he was about to say everything he would say when his father came: "The third brother is used to being romantic, and there is no restraint, if it continues like this, maybe this person will be ruined." As the elder brother, the grandson must use this incident to let the third brother understand what a manly man is, and he can afford to let it go. Let the third brother understand what is a trade-off, what are the rules......"

The Queen Mother smiled at the corner of her mouth, and did not pursue his words in detail. just asked: "Then what should Lin'er do?" ”

"The imperial grandmother should punish the third brother heavily, and set a rule for him, if he is in love again in the future, what crime should he be guilty ......of?" said the prince.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Lin'er's words are also reasonable, you brothers, look at the mourning family, it is more appropriate for the second child." But in the end, there was a joke from a while ago. You, I'm afraid you've forgotten all the poetry and etiquette you've learned. ”

"That's it", the Queen Mother said, "In this matter, you all have your own opinions, and the mourning family is old, and you really can't tell whether Chen'er is telling the truth or Lin'er, you are telling the truth." It's just that Lin'er's last words are right, your third brother can't always be like this, without restraint. Since the mourning family can't tell the difference for a while, and you are the elder brother, you should naturally put the eldest brother first in everything. The mourning family listened to you and punished your third brother. ”

When the prince heard the Queen Mother's words, he did not feel the slightest relaxation. Although the Queen Mother has been in the deep palace for a long time, it seems that except for the affairs of their children, she does not ask about the affairs of the court and the harem. But in fact, the Queen Mother is also quite jealous of Zhou's relatives.

are both relatives, the Chen family and the Shen family, and their power is simply not the same as that of the Zhou family. Whether it is for her mother's family or for the stability of imperial power, the Queen Mother hopes that the power of the Zhou family can be reduced. Therefore, because of this, among herself and King Chen, the Queen Mother is naturally partial to King Chen.

Now although the Queen Mother has promised to be punished, she is afraid that the punishment will not be painful.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother said: "Chen'er, since you have forgotten the etiquette of poetry and books, go home and copy the four books and five classics to the mourning family." The mourning family limits you to complete the transcription within ten days and send it to the mourning family. ”

"Huh? Ten days? Imperial grandmother, grandson just doesn't sleep, eats or drinks, and can't copy all the four books and five classics! What you can't copy for a month without sleep, you let your grandson copy it in ten days? ”

"That's what restricts you and keeps you from going out and messing around." The Queen Mother said.

"That being the case, the third brother will concentrate on copying books at home, and don't go to the court tomorrow, lest those gentlemen see the third brother and ask the third brother to drink flower wine. When it comes to human feelings, the third brother is not easy to shirk. I hid for a few days to calm my mind. How is it? The prince said.

King Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, then you won't go to court." It's just that if the father asks, the eldest brother will have to plead guilty for the younger brother. ”

"This is nature," said the prince, "as long as you sincerely repent, I will naturally help you." ”

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you two, this is like a brother......

King Chen said that if he didn't go to court in the sky, the prince would naturally not believe it. Verbal words, and not the queen mother's requirements, and there is no gambling oath guarantee, King Ming'er Chen will definitely go to the court, and when the time comes, just perfunctory him?

It's just that it's not so easy to perfunctory him at will.

As soon as he comes, maybe his father will come in a while. If he can hold out until his father comes, he will directly tell his father the queen mother's decision and the things he said to King Tongchen. Second, if his father does not come, and King Chen will go to court tomorrow, he will be surprised in public and ask, "Third brother, why did you come to the court?" directly made the third child faceless in the court.

Moreover, today is her birthday, and the mother concubine will definitely find a chance to see her father, and she will definitely reveal the third child's presumptuous behavior to her father first.

After delaying for a while, seeing that the emperor did not come, the prince did not delay any longer, and got up and said goodbye.

Anyway, this time he planned well, there are several ways to go, even if one fails, there is the next one.

The queen mother saw that the emperor did not come, and King Chen also had the intention of leaving, so she did not stay, and said a few words of concern before letting them retreat.

Qin Yingyue said that she didn't want the streamer palace brocade, and when they retired, the queen mother smiled and said: "Since the Hui Meiren don't want the palace brocade, the mourning family will not send someone to get it, and if there is something suitable for the Hui Meiren in the future, the mourning family will reward it to you." ”

"Concubine, thank you for the Queen Mother's love." Qin Yingyue said respectfully.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, let's all step down." ”
