Mingzhu saw the movements of several of her people, and didn't care, just buried her head and walked forward, stayed in the North Palace, and went in stunned. Chang Jiu, the chief eunuch of the Summer Palace, happened to be in front of the door to enjoy the coolness, and immediately came to stop people with a straight face, Mingzhu just sacrificed her unreasonable appearance of walking sideways in the past, staring at her eyes, straightening her chest, pointing at Chang Jiu and scolding: "The dog thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to block my way?" ”

Chang Jiu is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Min, and said with a smile: "This is a palace specially set up for the concubines to pray for the first emperor, and the girl should also go to play elsewhere, so as not to alarm the concubines and delay their affairs, it will not be good." In other words, if you are disobedient and have to go inside, it is a great disrespect to delay the concubines to pray for the first emperor. Even if it is in front of the Queen Mother, there is a saying.

Seeing this, Mulberry hurriedly grabbed Mingzhu and persuaded in a low voice: "If the girl wants to see a few princes and princesses, she tells the Empress Dowager and summons them to Changxin Palace." ”

When Mingzhu heard this, she stopped breaking in, nodded and said: "You are right, if I break in, it will seem that I am too ignorant and arrogant and domineering, and I deserve to be punished and scolded, and my aunt and father will be criticized." ”

Mulberry breathed a sigh of relief: "The girl is reasonable. ”

Mingzhu looked left and right, pointed to a willow tree next to the road and said with a smile: "This tree grows so well, I haven't seen such a handsome willow tree for a long time." ”

Everyone looked at each other, what kind of new trick is this? Mingzhu had already walked over and hugged the willow tree, and said with a smile: "Brother Shu, I feel very kind when I see you, how about borrowing me a piece of land to sit on?" Then he sat down under the tree with a smile on his face, and asked the palace people, "What time is it?" ”

Mulberry hurriedly said: "It's almost noon (eleven o'clock in the morning)." ”

Mingzhu asked: "At this point, it's time for the imperial dining room to send pastries?" ”

Mulberry was overjoyed: "Exactly, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat the lotus leaf cake made in the palace?" The Empress Dowager ordered her to go down early in the morning, and she must have done it, and the slave and maid waited for the girl to go back. ”

Mingzhu waved his hand: "Not busy." I'll take a look at the tree first. ”

At this point, the princes who went out to study and be taught should come back. It stands to reason that the princes should not come back until the time of application, and they should work hard. But Empress Dowager Min knew that her son was insufficient, so she was afraid that others would surpass her son, and she wished that all these princes would become idiots. Under the intervention of the Empress Dowager, letting them read is already a deep hate, where will they be allowed to read well? Therefore, he made an excuse magnificently, the princes were still young, and they were afraid that they would read badly for too long, so they only released it at noon every day.

Everyone knows what is going on, but the Queen Mother turns a blind eye, and it is difficult for others to say anything. Mingzhu also thought it was too much in the past, and she once fought for these princes, and persuaded the Queen Mother to come forward to take care of it, but the Queen Mother just laughed at her childishness.

"There is only one emperor, and she is the emperor's biological mother in the end. I'm getting older, and I have too many big things to manage, and it's impossible to hold on to everything, and I have to take care of everything. One is that it can't be managed, and the other is that it can't be managed. I forced her this time, but next time? She is already angry in her heart, she is ruthless, and she will kill her. Didn't he hurt the children? They are all my own grandchildren, and I hope that they will grow up safely. Medioccrity is not necessarily a good thing, it's good to grow up peacefully and leave the palace. ”

At that time, the Empress Dowager said this, Mingzhu understood it, but she didn't understand it very well. Now she finally understands that if she wants to be good to a person, she must also look at the way, otherwise it will hurt others. So the person she wants to see is not without other ways to intercept people, but she is afraid that she will accidentally leak the news and let Empress Dowager Min know about it, so she will harm that person. It's better for her to come here and make a fuss, take a look at it all, make a fuss, and no one will pay too much attention to that person.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the temperature is also rising, Mingzhu doesn't feel hot when he sits under the tree, but the palace people standing outside are all hot with a layer of fine sweat, and he is about to persuade Mingzhu to go back, when he sees a group of palace people not far away surrounded by three boys walking towards this side.

The oldest of the boys is eight years old, and the youngest is only five years old, they are innocent, cats and dogs hate naughty age, but the three boys are all old-fashioned and wooden, and the palace people who follow them seem to be a little more energetic than them.

"Whoa!" When Mingzhu saw a few children, she stood up and happily beckoned to them: "Come here." ”

When a few children saw Mingzhu, their eyes were all glowing with a layer of light, and the youngest fourth prince walked towards her without thinking about it, but was stopped by the second prince Yu Wenfu, and I don't know what he and the fourth prince whispered, the light in the eyes of the four princes dimmed, half-hung their heads, and followed their brothers listlessly, slowly walking in the direction of Mingzhu.

Yuwen Fuchao Mingzhu made a gesture again, and his tone was light: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, my cousin has always been good?" ”

"It's okay, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. How are you? The smile on Mingzhu's face faded. She only remembered that these children were children who played with her when her cousin emperor was still alive, regardless of respect or inferiority, but she forgot that the situation was no longer the same as back then. The Empress Dowager refused to manage too much, because she had her good intentions, but these children may not understand, most of them only thought that the Fu family and the Min family were colluding for their own interests and were trapped in their fire, so these children were also defensive when they saw her.

Although Yu Wenfu was only eight years old, he had already assumed the responsibility of the eldest brother, and replied to her decently: "We are all good." Is my aunt from the Imperial Grandmother's side? How is the royal grandmother? ”

Looking at this board, it looks like a little old man. Mingzhu felt bored, but had to answer: "The Empress Dowager is very good, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and I was still talking about it yesterday." As soon as the conversation changed, he arrogantly said: "I haven't been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know a lot of things. Only then did I realize this time that you only care about your own happiness and don't go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, which is a big unfilial piety. Didn't your husband teach you? ”

The faces of the third prince and the fourth prince showed angry and aggrieved looks, and the expressions of the palace people were also wonderful. Yu Wenfu's eyes lit up, he quietly glanced at Mingzhu, lowered his head again, and said softly: "It is true that we are not filial, we are busy reading in this paragraph, and we only think about copying scriptures and praying for the emperor in our spare time, and I forgot to go to the emperor's grandmother to fulfill my filial piety." ”
