Dong Yun sent Ji Bi Long and others out of the palace, and the eunuch and palace maid who met along the way, they were all respectful when they saw her, Ji Bi Long saw it in his eyes, and when they separated, he asked Dong Yun: "Niang Niang is really in the palace now?" ”

"If you go back to the master, if there is anything in the palace now, you will come to ask Miss, and only if you ask Yikun Palace first, you will go to Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace." Dong Yun responded, "The emperor said that the empress dowager is old and the empress dowager is frail, so please worry about it if there is anything." ”

"The emperor said it himself?" Suppilon asked.

"Yes, it's not, anyway......" Dong Yun looked embarrassed, "Master, no matter what, the slave can feel that the people in this palace respect Miss, it's true." ”

He let out a long sigh and walked away in a depressed state, Dong Yun didn't know what the master had been through in the past few months, but it was a good thing that he would never scold the young lady again.

When Dongyun came back, he saw that the palace maids below were all guarding outside the door, and they said that Niangniang wanted to be quiet alone.

"How can it be quiet, there are many things waiting for her in this Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace." Dongyun was anxious and muttered to himself, "I'm not very happy since last night, what's the matter." ”

It is true that since last night, Lingzhao has been thinking about what she is doing, although the Queen Mother always uses Empress Xiaokang to persuade her to enlighten her, but Lingzhao knows very well in her heart that she may one day be able to achieve seven or eight points like her mother-in-law, but how can she be allowed to be in the top few.

Unless, Hesheri Shushu died, she would never have a chance.

On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Pomegranate left the palace and returned to Tong's house after a long absence, to visit Mrs. Tong, who was sick in bed.

Mrs. is still fine, she has an age, and misses her daughter and deceased husband, she always has to get sick at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and this time the emperor also sent several times to see the imperial doctor, and it is not a big problem.

When Mrs. Tong saw the pomegranate, she was naturally happy, and she was happy to chirp around her.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the emperor's brother, and my sister-in-law won't come to pick me up to play." He asked Pomegranate matter-of-factly, "Why are you ignoring me?" ”

The milk doll has grown into a little girl, and her eyebrows have gradually opened, although she is not as much like Yuan Xi as she was when she was a child, the daughter of the Tong family is a beauty, which is true.

Pomegranate smiled: "The queen said, why didn't Miss go into the palace to play with her, after a few days, the palace is not so busy, Miss must come." ”

Tilting Xian was happy now, and ran to his grandmother's bedside and said, "Grandma, listen, the queen's sister-in-law is looking for me." ”

Mrs. Tong didn't agree, nor did she refuse, and it didn't take long for her granddaughter to be taken away, and she said to Pomegranate alone: "You tell the queen that the strings are getting more and more naughty, and you don't dare to send her into the palace to make trouble, thank you for the queen mother." ”

Pomegranate actually understood Madame's intentions, so she didn't say anything.

Mrs. Tong asked: "Go back to the palace today, or stay for two days, has the queen allowed you to take a vacation?" ”

Pomegranate said: "Niangniang wants the slave to live for a few days, but the slave feels that it is not suitable, and she has come back to visit you, and she will leave before sunset." ”

Mrs. Tong looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Then go back early, I'm fine, I'll ...... later." Pomegranate, don't worry about me, be by the side of the mother in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"The slave knows." Pomegranate said.

"Pomegranate, which one do you say, granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter?" But Mrs. Tong suddenly said this sentence and looked at the pomegranate with a smile.

"Slave maid ......" Pomegranate thought for a moment and replied, "Old lady, you should probably ask the slave maid, grandson and granddaughter, which one is close." ”

Mrs. Tong asked: "That's naturally the same kiss, and I also asked you what to do." ”

Pomegranate said: "The granddaughter-in-law and the grandson are of the same heart, old lady, then in your eyes, the granddaughter-in-law and the granddaughter are naturally the same." If what the slave said is not right, please bear with me. ”

Mrs. Tong was very pleased, shook Pomegranate's hand and said, "Although my daughter is shrewd and capable, she is also kind-hearted, and she has never done anything unreasonable in her life. Leaning strings are my flesh and blood, and the queen is also Xuan Ye's heart, pomegranate, although you are a member of my Tong family, I hope you can treat the queen faithfully and take good care of her daughter-in-law for Yuan Xi. Even if one day, we lean into the palace, no matter if I am still there at that time, Pomegranate, I order you not to be biased, not to listen to her, not to listen to Guowei, not to be sorry for the queen. ”

Pomegranate's heart sank, she got up and left her seat, and said on her knees: "Old lady, the slave has written it down." ”

Mrs. Tong coughed a few times and sighed: "It seems that it is a matter of time before the strings enter the palace, but this child is spoiled, and I don't know if I can live until then." ”

In the Forbidden City, in the evening, Shu Shu returned from Cining Palace, and learned that Pomegranate had returned to the palace, she happily entered the door, but saw Pomegranate holding the gift box in a daze, and she didn't know how long she stood like this.

Shu Shu raised a smile and walked over generously: "The old lady is safe?" ”

Pomegranate came back to her senses and said busily: "If you go back to your mother, the old lady will be safe, and you will ask the slave to say goodbye to your mother." ”

"This is the best, and the emperor can rest assured." Shu Shu said: "It's hard to go back and forth, just rest early today, and I don't have anything to do here." ”

"Where is the Empress Dowager?" Pomegranate asked, "Don't you have to go over and take care of it?" ”

"With my aunt here, I don't need us." Shu Shu said with a smile, "The emperor said that he would let the imperial grandmother get along with her daughter for a few days, no one would enter the palace tomorrow, and there would be no need to go over in the morning to say goodbye, and the emperor said that he would let the eldest princess sleep lazily." ”

"The busiest days have passed." Pomegranate smiled, "Niangniang hasn't spoken to the emperor in the past few days." ”

Shu Shu glanced in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said with a smile: "There is always a time when you can speak, don't worry, you have the skill to talk to me, but I hope that the emperor can take a break and eat with peace of mind." Auntie, what do you mean by being an emperor, people in the world still think how comfortable and amazing he is. ”

Before the words fell, it was rumored outside that Concubine Zhao had arrived.

Shu Shu and Pomegranate glanced at each other, Pomegranate took the palace maid to collect all the gifts of the Tong family, Shu Shu sat on the warm kang, leisurely put a game of Go, saw Lingzhao come in, and said with a smile: "Is my sister coming from Ningshou Palace?" ”

After Lingzhao saluted, he was given a seat by the queen, and Shu Shu was even invited: "Sister let's play a game of chess together, I've been busy for two days, my head is messy, how good it is to play a game of chess quietly." ”

Ling Zhao lowered his eyes: "The concubine's chess skills are not good, and the mother forgives her sins." ”

Shu Shu disagreed: "Don't hinder, let's sit and talk." ”

But Ling Zhao didn't have anything serious, so he wouldn't come to Kunning Palace to gossip with the queen, so he said: "There are two things to ask the mother to decide, one is where to place the Lantern Festival banquet, and the other is who to invite to the banquet." ”

Shu Shu asked: "This matter has not been decided in Layue?" ”

Ling Zhao bowed and said: "It was the negligence of the concubine, and I thought it was decided, but I asked the people of the Internal Affairs Office today, and I learned that even where the banquet was placed has not been decided." ”

"Then you can do it according to the old rules." Shu Shu said, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are relieved of you, and so am I." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare to make decisions without permission, and wants to ask the mother to show her." Ling Zhao said, "What the mother commands, the concubine will do." ”

Shu Shu listed the black and white sons on the chessboard, and quickly calculated the purpose of Ling Zhao's trip in his heart, and the warmth in her words, could it be that for the eldest princess to return to Beijing, this person said that he would pull down his face.

Shu Shu smiled slightly: "How about the Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother came forward to feast on the clan relatives and nobles, it is also a decent thing, after all, the emperor is the first emperor's palace." ”

Ling Zhao hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother doesn't like to be noisy, and the backyard of Ningshou Palace is mostly the concubines of the first emperor's palace, if you ask people to go in and out there, it is really inappropriate." ”

Shu Shu took the chess pieces and looked at Ling Zhao with a smile: "Then sister said, where is it good?" ”

Ling Zhao said: "The concubine wants to ask the mother to show ......"

The contradiction was right in front of him, Shu Shu continued to place the chess pieces, and said lightly: "Even the Empress Dowager knows that I am lazy, what good ideas can I come up with, this matter will be left to you." There are still some days before the Lantern Festival, so there is no hurry. ”

Ling Zhao was so choked by herself that she couldn't say anything, she really couldn't think about what she was trying to do.

The pomegranate was on the side, and he also heard it inexplicably, and when he returned after sending off the guests, he asked Shu Shu what was going on, Shu Shu took back the chess pieces one by one, and said: "The eldest princess returned to Beijing, I didn't discuss it with her, she was unhappy." ”

"But ......"

"Yes, my aunt also thinks that she already thinks that the emperor and I should discuss everything with her, how long has it been?" Shu Shu's eyes revealed a sharp gaze that is rare on weekdays, and said coldly, "I hope that if she can't sleep tonight, she can think about it and think it clearly, otherwise, she is not the only one who can do things." ”

Pomegranate asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Shu Shu said: "Rong Changzai is a smart person and the biological mother of the eldest brother, don't waste talents." ”
