The Empress Dowager was looking through the folds, and when she heard that Yu Wenchu and Mingzhu were coming, she raised her head, she was obviously a little haggard than some time ago, and her tone was still very kind: "The little couple has a good complexion, and I am relieved to see that the two of you are doing well." ”

Mingzhu didn't know whether the emaciated Empress Dowager was due to her aggravated illness, or because of the death of Eunuch Rong, or because of her busy political affairs. In her impression, the Empress Dowager never brought the song back to Changxin Palace for approval, but now she actually brought it back to Changxin Palace, which shows that the Empress Dowager has a tighter grasp of political affairs and takes it more seriously.

The Empress Dowager received Mingzhu's worried eyes, smiled at her, and said kindly: "I haven't seen you for some days, it's weird, come and sit here with me." "I didn't give Yuwen Chu a seat and tea.

He and the Empress Dowager sat snuggled up, leaving Yu Wenchu standing there alone, usually I don't feel anything, but now this atmosphere makes people feel inappropriate, as if they are deliberately isolating Yu Wenchu. Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, walked to the Empress Dowager's side and hugged the Empress Dowager's shoulders affectionately, but did not sit down next to each other as usual.

The Empress Dowager didn't seem to notice her small movements, and affectionately put her hand on the back of her hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "The Zhuangzi over there in Daguan is fun, right?" I remember passing by the lotus root farm, didn't I? Lotus Leaf has already been defeated, right? ”

Seeing that the topic mentioned by the Empress Dowager was relaxed, Mingzhu also relaxed, and talked to the Empress Dowager about the interesting stories in Daguan Zhuangzi and Cao Jinran, and wanted to say a few good words for Yu Wenchu: "Your Highness taught me a lot of things, I didn't know that Nongsang was so interesting before." ”

I was about to say that Yu Wenchu wanted her to learn to raise silkworms next year, but suddenly she understood, closed her mouth suddenly, and looked at Yu Wenchu. He asked her to learn to raise silkworms, make clothes for him and wear, in fact, it was not just as simple as letting her learn to raise silkworms, but it was related to the queen's silkworm ceremony.

Yu Wenchu stood aside calmly and gently, not unhappy because of the empress dowager's intentional or unintentional snubbing, and when he saw her looking at him, he smiled back at her.

The Empress Dowager noticed this sudden pause, and said with interest: "Really? The sixth child was also good at farming, and I only knew that you only loved business and financial management, and now I know that you are not only careful and bold, but also very knowledgeable and intelligent, and have a wide range of hobbies. ”

These words sounded like praise, but it was not the same thing when they fell into Yu Wenchu's ears. Even Mingzhu heard the difference, the Empress Dowager was not a fool, of course she could see Yu Wenchu's thoughts, and she was even more vigilant, this was beating Yu Wenchu.

Yu Wenchu gave a tepid salute to the Empress Dowager, and replied with a smile: "It is the kindness and generosity of the Queen Mother that the sons and daughters can have today." He glanced at Mingzhu with affection and said with a smile: "What Erchen is most grateful for is that the queen mother married Mingzhu to Erchen, and her wish has been fulfilled for many years, and she is satisfied." ”

Mingzhu could see that he was showing weakness to the Empress Dowager and did not want to clash with the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager did not appreciate it, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I want to ask the King of England one thing, the King of Zhongshan has a twist and turn, thinking that the royal family is withering, and the major palaces should quickly finalize the candidates for the concubines if they have no concubines, and those who do not have side concubines should also be decided as soon as possible.

Jiang Shanshan, the second daughter of the Marquis of Changxing, was married to you a long time ago and was your candidate for the main concubine, and then by mistake, you and Mingzhu became married, but they left her aside. I wanted to compensate her many times and give her a good marriage, but unfortunately the chance was always unlucky, and I finally picked Liao Guang, and Fu Ning fell in love with Liao Guang again, but I was shameless to see the Changxing Marquis Mansion. What do you think you should do? ”

Mingzhu tightened her sleeves, she was not worried that the Empress Dowager would get a side concubine for Yu Wenchu to block her, but she was worried that the Empress Dowager would be ruthless in cleaning up Funing. For a princess to be in the boudoir, it is a very lucky thing to be married to someone who is in love, and if this happiness is broken in an instant, it will definitely be a heavy blow.

Yu Wenchu smiled, and did not say that Liao Guang and Funing were brought together by tricks, but knelt down calmly and took the initiative to take the responsibility: "It's Erchen who didn't discipline Funing well." ”

The Empress Dowager refused to let him go, and said lightly: "Liao Guang, young and talented, with a tough character, if he can polish more, he will become a pillar of the country in time." If you are a princess, you can no longer be a real job, which is a pity. Now that the emperor is young, Jiguo, Wusun, Xiongnu, and Zhou and Tang in the south are eyeing each other, and the talents in my court are withering, which is really worrying. ”

It means that this family affair can no longer be counted. Although there is no joke in the king, the status of the empress dowager is noble, and the words she says are Yi's will, and there is no intention to change it casually, but she has previously withdrawn the first emperor's marriage to Mingzhu and Yuwenyou, and then canceled the marriage of Jiang Shanshan and Yuwenchu, and even the fact that she was going to marry Jiang Shanshan and Liao Guang was changed to Funing rationing to Liao Guang, so now it is nothing to regret it and take back the will of Funing and Liao Guang's marriage.

No matter what, it becomes a habit to do it a few more times.

Mingzhu looked sadly at the Empress Dowager and Yu Wenchu, the war between these two had begun, and she was destined to be the one caught in the middle. People like her who are stupid, who can only walk sideways and don't know how to tell lies left and right, what should I do!

Yu Wenchu's face was still that kind of calm and quiet: "It's Erchen who didn't think it through." But he didn't take the initiative to say that this family business was done.

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Go and discuss it with your mother." As for Funing's attitude and feelings, they were not in her consideration at all.

The atmosphere froze all of a sudden, Mingzhu looked left and right, and said in vain: "In the imperial village where lotus roots are raised, we saw a pair of big golden carp. said that it was auspicious, Cao Jinran said that he wanted to offer it, I don't know if he offered it? Did the Empress Dowager see it? ”

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Mingzhu, smiled kindly at her, and said softly, "I saw it." But this is not auspicious, I have seen a lot bigger than this before, I also ate it, I don't think it is auspicious. ”

Eaten! Mingzhu felt that she couldn't answer, but instinctively felt that she couldn't let this awkward state continue, so she asked unwillingly: "Is that delicious?" ”
