The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's okay." I also asked the imperial chef to make this pair of carp, one for the emperor, and one for my palace, and Fu'er also tasted it. If you want to know what it's like, you can ask Fu'er. ”

Pushed out Yuwen Fu. Two big golden carps that are regarded as auspicious by the people below, one is for the current emperor Yuwen Bai to eat, and the other is for Yuwen Fu to eat. Because I was worried that others would think that Yuwenfu was not worthy of eating, so I made irresponsible remarks, so I asked people to send it to Changxin Palace and then reward Yuwenfu to taste. The Empress Dowager's attitude couldn't be clearer, and she had already equated Yuwenfu and Yuwenbai.

Mingzhu knew that she would probably never be as close to the Empress Dowager as before. Because she is Yu Wenchu's wife, they will still have children, and the Empress Dowager still loves her and feels sorry for her, but she will no longer trust her unreservedly as before. Otherwise, they would not have entered the palace until now, and the Empress Dowager has never asked about Fu Lin's injury.

From the time they left the capital to go to Daguan to now, in just over ten days, many things have quietly changed. Perhaps it should be said that after the death of Eunuch Congrong, the Empress Dowager is no longer the former Empress Dowager.

However, even so, Mingzhu can only continue to pretend to be ignorant, only in this way can she maintain the relationship between her and the Empress Dowager to the greatest extent, and turn around between the Empress Dowager and Yu Wenchu, and even between the Empress Dowager and her father.

Since the Empress Dowager said that it was not auspicious, just an ordinary big carp, then she should only be an ordinary big carp. Everybody eats, so there's nothing left. Mingzhu hugged the arm of the Empress Dowager and coquettishly said: "I wanted to eat that carp at that time!" But Your Highness won't give me food! Why don't you keep some for me, I really want to eat it. Speaking of which, she was really hungry and actually took a sip of saliva.

The Empress Dowager finally laughed from the bottom of her heart: "You girl, you can't get rid of this problem of gluttony in your life, I heard that the sixth child invited you to many famous chefs, and he didn't feed you." ”

"She's always so greedy, otherwise she wouldn't need so many celebrity chefs to serve." Yu Wenchu also smiled cooperatively, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

The Empress Dowager suddenly frowned slightly, turned her head sideways to look at Mingzhu's lower abdomen, which was still flat as usual, and she couldn't see anything. The Empress Dowager retracted her gaze again, smiled and said to Yu Wenchu: "You have been away for so long, and your mother is also very worried, you go to her first and ask An to accompany her, and then talk to her." I'm going to keep Mingzhu for a while, and I'll let her come and look for you later. ”

There was no room for negotiation, Yu Wenchu respectfully bowed and retreated.

Mingzhu was so sad, the two of them came together, but they had to leave in batches, and they were worried that the Empress Dowager was going to say something terrible when she left her, so she was even more sad, so she had to look at Yu Wenchu reluctantly. Yu Wenchu noticed her gaze, raised his head and smiled comfortingly at her, his eyes were gentle, and he did not see displeasure.

"Come and sit." The Empress Dowager got up and walked to the couch in front of the window and sat down, motioned for Mingzhu to sit down, and called Aunt Mu: "Let them soak her in green phoenix marrow." ”

Aunt Mu smiled and brought the green phoenix pith up with her own hands: "Niangniang always remembers that the princess loves this tea the most, and she is reluctant to drink it, so she keeps it for you." ”

"There's Aunt Law." Mingzhu took the teacup in Aunt Mu's hand with both hands, looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled sweetly: "Niangniang has always treated me well, so good that people are jealous." ”

The Empress Dowager touched her hair lovingly, and finally asked Fu Lin: "What's wrong with Ah Lin?" It's not good for me to go out of the palace to see him. ”

Mingzhu smiled, for the first time, she felt that it was so difficult to tell a lie, and the Empress Dowager was too good to her! Although she understands the truth, if she wants to tell a lie to the Queen Mother as a matter of course, she still feels that she can't cross the threshold in her heart. She weighed the words: "I've been asleep, Tang Chun said that the dose of his tranquilizing soup is too heavy, and it will probably affect his brain or something in the future, so he must reduce it." And he said that the arm was probably gone. ”

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, and sighed for a long time: "Presumably your father and brother are going to blame me." ”

Mingzhu hurriedly stood up and hurriedly defended: "No, my father and brother didn't say that, and encouraged Fu Lin to take good care of his injuries and not to collapse." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly: "Ah Lin is the heir of the Fu family, carrying the expectations of your father and brother, why don't I expect him to be as capable and responsible as your father and brother?" I feel sorry for him and regret it when he hurts me, but there is never a meal for nothing in this world, and if you want the glory of the family, you must exchange it with blood and sweat. Even if he is my nephew and your father's eldest grandson, if he is unarmed, even if he is in a high position, there will still be people who are not convinced, let alone protect the Fu family. ”

Mingzhu didn't know how to answer this, for fear that she would say too much wrong, so she only listened silently: "Ah Lin knows your expectations of him, and he has no complaints in his heart. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly: "I hope." ”

Mingzhu thought that the Empress Dowager would take the opportunity to talk to her about Yu Wenfu or something, but the Empress Dowager refused to say any more, and after drinking half a cup of tea in silence, she asked her: "It's been a few days since you got married, do you have any news?" ”

Mingzhu and Yuwen first got married in early autumn, and now it is late autumn and winter, so it is normal to have this question. Mingzhu was a little frustrated: "No." She thought that if she worked so hard, there should be good news, but this morning she saw a little blood stain on her bottoms, and it was time for her to count the small days, so it can be seen that she was busy again.

The Empress Dowager said: "Have you seen the imperial doctor?" ”

Mingzhu said embarrassedly: "There is no news, and it is in vain to see it." He lowered his voice and said very embarrassedly: "The little day is here again." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, and asked her a few more words about the affairs of Daguan Zhuangzi and the affairs of the house, and then said: "I'll let you send you to Guangming Palace, your mouth is sweet, don't always come to your mother-in-law." Fu Ning, just a fool, don't worry about her, I will take care of her. ”

Mingzhu thought of Funing and Liao Zhuangyuan's family affairs, and didn't know whether to rejoice for Liao Zhuangyuan or sigh for them. But it is conceivable that if Funing's marriage fails, this account will inevitably be counted on her head.

Mingzhu got up and saluted and retired, looking at the empress dowager's thin figure, and couldn't help but say: "I'm married now, I don't go to the palace to accompany you as often as before, you have to take care of your body, and remember to call the imperial doctor in time when you are uncomfortable, so that you can give birth to a good life." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled lightly: "Don't worry, my body is very good, I just happened to not rest well last time, so I scared you, and now it's all fine." ”
