The atmosphere in the internal affairs office was tense, and all the departments began to prepare for today's events a month earlier, and they tensed their bodies one by one, not caring about standing in the snow on a cold day, and their frozen toes had a headache.

Since the beginning of autumn, Concubine Zhao has been ordered by the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress to assist in the affairs of the six palaces, from the clothes and utensils of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to the punishment and dispatch of the eunuchs and palace maids.

Everyone can see the hard work paid here, and the young imperial concubine really survived the entire Forbidden City.

Compared with Concubine Zhao's hard work, the queen is like a rich idler, and at this moment she is taking Rong Changzai and Dong to promise to visit Xiao Chengrui, who is breastfeeding, at Brother's house.

The eldest brother Chengrui, who was born and was sent to the elder brother's office, was in the middle of the night on the day of delivery, Rong promised that it would not be difficult for a young man to give birth, Xuan Ye was awakened by Da Li Zi in his sleep, saying that Rong promised to give birth to a little brother, and he had a son.

When Xuan Ye arrived, Shu Shu was already there, because she knew that Rong promised to give birth in a few days, she sent someone to keep an eye on it every day, and she came immediately as soon as there was any movement, without delaying for a moment.

Xuan Ye was in Shu Shu's arms and saw his first son, although he kept telling Da Li Zi that he had no excitement about being a father, but seeing the vivid little life, the eyes and nose, the arms and hands, in the end, moved his heart.

The name Chengrui was given by Xuan Ye, and he hoped that his son could inherit the blessing of his ancestors and be auspicious.

Yu'er didn't ask Xuan Ye to have a father's responsibility immediately, the nursing doll didn't understand anything, and when Chengrui grew up and Xuan Ye matured, everything would go naturally.

She was heartbroken for Fu Lin back then, in addition to the entanglements in the harem of the imperial court, the most painful thing was the estrangement and suspicion between mother and son, but all this did not appear in Xuan Ye.

For so many years, the ancestors and grandchildren are close and trust each other, grandma is grandma, grandson is grandson, Xuanye who became Amma, did something wrong and made a mistake, he was still punished and trained, and sometimes Shu Shu was implicated and punished.

Therefore, there are many rumors outside the palace, saying that the emperor and queen are still like children, and they don't grow up, so the queen mother is very worried, and Concubine Zhao, who is not very favored, has begun to be the master of the house and takes care of the affairs in the palace meticulously.

However, Shu Shu doesn't care about such a reputation, she just wants to play with Xuan Ye, and the more the ministers look down on them, the more they fall in love with Shu Shu and Xuan Ye.

"Queen Mother, Madame has entered the palace." A palace maid came from outside the door, bowed down and said, "Madame said that Niangniang is not in the palace, she doesn't dare to trespass, wait under the Kunning Gate, it's so cold, please go back to pick up Madame into the door as soon as possible." ”

"Rong Chang is here, you stay, and accompany the eldest brother more, I will tell them not to rush." Shu Shu sent the child in his arms into Ma Jia's arms, and teased the little doll again, "Chengrui, the emperor will come to see you next time, you have to be good." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen." Rong Chang was holding his own flesh and blood steadily, and he bent his knees with everyone, and after getting up, he was helped by Dong Yu to sit aside.

Dong promised: "Sister Rong, the queen mother is very considerate of you, and every time she comes back to the elder brother's office, she takes you with her." ”

"yes." Rong Chang looked down at the child who was not yet 100 days old in the swaddling clothes, "I really didn't expect that the queen mother would be so considerate." ”

Dong promised to ask softly: "Sister, I heard that the Internal Affairs Office is about to restore your green card, after the eldest brother is 100 years old, will you be able to serve the emperor again?" ”

Rong Changzai's cheeks were crimson: "People from the Internal Affairs Office, I have come to ask a few times, and my body has recovered." ”

"There's one thing, sister knows?" Dong glanced out of the door and said softly, "The emperor and the queen's mother, it seems that they haven't had a round house yet?" ”

"Really? But the emperor has already stayed in Kunning Palace. "Rong Chang is in the way," the same is true of the regulations of the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"Whether it's true or not, no one knows, I only know that it was the Queen Mother who didn't agree earlier, saying that the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhao were too young." Dong lowered his eyes, blushed and said, "But our emperor has long been not small." ”

Rong Chang sneered, and gently pushed Dong with his elbow: "For more than a year, the emperor has loved you a lot." ”

Outside the gate of Kunning Palace, Shu Shu hurriedly returned, received his mother who was waiting here, covered Eniang's hand in his arms, and said angrily: "My daughter's house, how can I not enter, Eniang is too particular." If the Empress Dowager knew, she might blame me. ”

Madame smiled: "If the Empress Dowager blames the mother, then she also loves the mother, so she will take care of the concubine." ”

Shu Shu sent everyone in the palace down, pulled Eniang to sit on the warm kang, threw away the queen's dignified and steady, like the little daughter in the boudoir in the past, and said softly: "Eniang, you are in charge now, are you used to it, is anyone embarrassed for you?" How many aunts are there at the bottom, but are they still safe? ”

"It's all good, although you Ama are honest, you are not stupid. What's more, the rules of the ancestors, the young and the old are orderly, if they dare to make mistakes, even if you Ama can't deal with it, they won't look at who our son-in-law is. Madame said proudly, "Ama and Eniang gave birth to you, and they have accumulated virtue in their previous lives." ”

Shu Shuwaner: "The important thing is that everyone in this palace loves me, if I meet a difficult mother-in-law, a ruthless husband, and become a queen, then it is not a virtue, it is a sin." ”

"What did you say, kid?" Mrs. shook her head again and again, touched Shu Shu's cheek, and sighed, "When I was a child, my fleshy cheeks were gone, and my mother's Shu Shu has grown up." ”

"The emperor said that I am getting better and better." Shu Shu's eyes were full of pride, and he pretended to be disgusted, "Anyway, he'll make me happy if it's okay." ”

But Mrs. thought about it and asked a little embarrassedly: "E-Niang didn't mean to urge you, E-Niang just asked, did you have a round house with the emperor?" Doesn't the Empress Dowager still agree? ”

Shu Shu shook his head: "The Empress Dowager has long since relented, but it's just ......"

Mrs. asked embarrassedly: "Shu Shu, what do you not understand, can you talk to Eniang?" Before you left the cabinet, E-Niang thought you were too young, and she was afraid of scaring you, so she was always reluctant to speak. ”

Shu Shu smiled brightly, and pushed the dim sum in front of her mother: "What is it, of course the daughter only asks Eniang, Aunt Pomegranate, or the grandmother in the palace, it is difficult to speak." But right now, since my daughter doesn't ask anything, everything is naturally fine, what do you say? ”

Madam breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, Eniang doesn't mean anything else, it's just worried about your body." ”

Shu Shu's heart was very warm, and he said happily: "Although I am not filial, but every time my grandmother comes, everyone is unhappy, and now my grandmother is not in good health and cannot enter the palace, so I will talk to my mother and me, clear and quiet, as if I have returned to my childhood." ”

Mrs. ate a snack, remembered something, and asked, "According to the rules, it should be the draft next year, will the emperor choose it?" ”

Shu Shu smiled gently: "Eniang, don't ask, I just like to hear you talk about family affairs." ”

Madame knew that she had trespassed, and hurriedly said: "Here's the thing, Nalan Mingzhu of the Internal Affairs Office, do you know?" ”

Shu Shu shook his head: "The emperor has been very important to him recently, he was promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Inner Hongwen Academy last month, and his eldest son Nalan Xingde is one year younger than the emperor, and he has also wrestled together." ”

Mrs. said: "I am in the study, listening to your third uncle and your Ama theory, speaking of this pearl, Nalan Mansion and our family are world friends, your third uncle and Mingzhu also sat at the same table when he was in the country, but now when he is mentioned, he is gritting his teeth, saying that he will please the emperor, shrewd and cunning." ”

Shu Shu disagreed: "The third uncle has always been like this, he can't see anyone better than him, why should Eniang care." ”

Madame said: "I heard him say to you Ama that the Nalan clan also has a woman of the right age, and with Nalan Mingzhu's personality, he will definitely arrange to enter the palace, he wants you Ama to come and tell me, ask me to enter the palace to remind you." ”

Shu Shu smiled: "Did Ama say it?" ”

Madame shook her head and said, "How can you Ama care, but ......"

Shu Shu touched his mother's hand and said, "Look, the third uncle succeeded, he knew that Eniang would worry about me, because Eniang is also a woman, because Ama also has a concubine, you can understand your daughter's feelings." ”

"Shushu." Madame's eyes were slightly hot, "In the next twenty or thirty years, you will reach the age of Eniang, but there will be a teenage show girl entering the palace, and the emperor will ...... him at that time."

Shu Shu shook his head at his mother: "Today is a small year, E-niang doesn't want to cry, go to the queen mother for dinner in a while, and let her old man see it." Eniang, no matter how many people come, they don't want to do anything with me, there will always be only me in this Kunning Palace. ”

But at this moment, someone outside the door said: "Queen Mother, the emperor sent someone to greet Madame." ”

The lady hurriedly calmed down, wiped her eyes, and asked her daughter to see if she had a gaffe, Shu Shu helped her mother to help the hairpin, and ordered someone to come in.

Three little eunuchs from the Qianqing Palace came, one holding brocade, one holding jewelry, and one opened the box, in which lay a stout and magnificent wild ginseng.

Xuan Ye sent a message, asking her mother-in-law to excuse herself, and her wife did not worship, she carried the silver with her, and asked the pomegranate to reward her, and then said to the pomegranate: "My aunt is not short of gold and silver, and I can't always think of anything good to send, so I can only go to the temple every month and burn incense and pray for you." ”

Pomegranate hurriedly said: "The slave and maid don't dare to be a slave, serving the mother is a blessing for the slave and maid." She said to Shu Shu, "Niangniang, Rong Changzai promised Dong that he had already gone back." ”

Shu Shu bowed: "I know, my mother brought some gifts, and you send someone to send them to them." ”
