It was day and night, the big plum retreated from the Qianqing Palace, ready to rest, walked on the road while stretching his muscles, passed the west gate of Kunning Palace, saw the pomegranate standing under the eaves with a lantern, he waved his hand, but the pomegranate did not see it at all.

"Father-in-law, do you want the slave to invite Aunt Pomegranate out?" The little eunuch on the side said earnestly, "Auntie, I'm afraid I haven't seen it." ”

"No need, goodbye tomorrow." Da Li Zi said, "You all go back, you can keep an eye on the errand of the Qianqing Palace, if the emperor can't find anyone at night after drinking tea, I won't spare you." ”

Everyone obeyed the order, handed the lantern to Da Lizi, and went back one after another.

Da Lizi took a few steps forward, a little worried, wandered on the palace road for a while, and sure enough, he saw that the pomegranate also came out alone.

But Pomegranate looked full of worries, she walked away with a lantern, she didn't look at anyone else, and she didn't notice it until she got to Da Lizi, but Da Lizi shouted that she found out.

"Something?" Da Li Zi said, "I just greeted you, and I didn't see it." ”

Pomegranate smiled: "That's me, now it's someone else, who dares to be disrespectful to Gonggong Li, who dares not to see Gonggong Li." ”

It's all a joke, Da Li Zi figured out the mood of the pomegranate, and didn't ask anything, and then the two went back to their respective residences separately and spent the night together.

The next morning, Xuan Ye dispersed and returned to the warm pavilion to change clothes, saying that he had made an appointment with Nalan Rongruo and a few people to shoot arrows in the Arrow Pavilion.

Da Li Zi was waiting on the side, and said softly: "The slave has something to tell the emperor." ”

Knowing that Pomegranate had something on his mind, Xuan Ye asked, "What happened in Kunning Palace?" ”

Da Li Zi said: "The slave only knows that Pomegranate went back to Tong Mansion yesterday." ”

Xuan Ye was silent, and after changing his clothes, he took people to the Arrow Pavilion, but unfortunately, Yatu was half a step late and did not meet the emperor.

Hearing that Xuan Ye went to the Arrow Pavilion, Yatu said happily: "I'll go and take a look, too." ”

On this side, Xuan Ye stretched out his bow and set up arrows, and the arrows were not missing, and all the arrows shot by Rong Ruo were shot down, and the audience applauded, but Xuan Ye looked sullen and couldn't be happy.

But as soon as I turned around, I saw my aunt appear, I had a little smile on my face, and I strode up and said, "Why is my aunt here?" ”

After Yatu saluted, he said with a smile: "I want to see the emperor's heroic appearance." ”

"It's not heroic, but it's familiar." Xuan Ye was humble and pointed to the young people on the side, "They are the hope of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Yatu said, "Your Majesty, can you let me try?" ”

Xuan Ye immediately agreed, and instructed Da Lizi: "Take the bow used by the woman." ”

Yatu stepped forward and said, "No need, my aunt has used it since she was a child, which is a man's bow." ”

She took the bow from Rong Ruo's hand on the side, pulled out the arrow from the quiver, opened the bow and set the arrow, neatly and crisply, with a wind sound, the sharp arrow flew out, and firmly stuck in the middle of the bull's-eye in the distance.

There was a moment of silence on the field, and then there was a round of applause, and Yatu smiled at Xuan Ye and said, "Auntie's kung fu, is it okay?" ”

Xuan Ye was very surprised, his depressed mood immediately became excited, and he nodded again and again: "Auntie, are you in Horqin, do you also practice archery every day?" ”

Yatu returned the bow to Rong Ruo, looked at the handsome young man, and walked over to Xuan Ye and said: "There are also busy things on the grassland, how can my aunt have the time to practice archery, in fact, this time, it is just luck." ”

Da Li Zi had already ordered someone to serve tea on the side, Xuan Ye invited his aunt to sit on the side, and said: "I have heard since I was a child that my aunt was heroic and braver than men when she was young, and the imperial grandfather often took you to hunt on horseback, and it was true. ”

Yatu smiled: "It's a pity that your imperial grandfather didn't have a chance to meet you, Your Majesty, your imperial grandfather is the overlord of the world and the world, and you will definitely surpass him." ”

Xuan Ye said humbly: "I am a trapped dragon in the Qianqing Palace right now, and I am still trying to break free from the shackles. ”

Yatu said: "On that day, my aunt will definitely return to the capital again to congratulate the emperor." ”

Xuan Ye said with a smile: "Bring Aunt Attu back, the imperial grandmother is very worried about you." ”

Yatu turned sideways and saw the teenagers who were still waiting on the field, so he said, "The emperor will go and practice archery with them, and my aunt will watch for a while and leave." Originally, I went to Qianqing Palace to tell the emperor that I would invite you to Cining Palace for lunch, and my aunt brought a cook from Horqin. ”

Xuan Ye returned to the field and practiced archery with everyone, Yatu took a sip of tea, sat down for a while, and left quietly.

But when leaving, I couldn't help but look back at my nephew, when she came just now, it was very lively here, and in the lively atmosphere, it seemed that Xuan Ye's depression was particularly obvious, there was no doubt that Xuan Ye had something on his mind.

In a flash, it was the seventh day of the first month, the day of the death of the first emperor.

On this day, Shu Shu hugged Chengrui, and for the first time took the prince with Xuanye to pay tribute.

Seven years passed in a flash, and Xuan Ye said that he couldn't remember Huang Ama's appearance, but he only remembered that at the end, his face was full of pustules.

Yatu is in Beijing this time, so he naturally wants to give his younger brother a pillar of incense, and today he also walks to Xiaoling.

After the ceremony, Cheng Rui couldn't stop crying, Shu Shu and the nurses walked around the little brother, Yatu and Xuan Ye happened to be alone, she smiled: "People who don't know, they still think that Cheng Rui is the queen's child, how can she have such a bearing and heart at her young age." ”

Xuan Ye helped his aunt down the steps and said, "Grandmother Huang said that Shu Shu is stronger than Eniang. ”

Yatu smiled: "Yes, your mother was a lot of worries at that time." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Xuan Ye, only to see Xuan Ye raising his eyes and looking at the people in the distance, with a little melancholy on his face.

Yatu saw that the ministers had all retreated, and only Da Lizi was accompanied by people, so he said with confidence: "In the past few days, the emperor's expression at this moment will be revealed from time to time, and I don't know if I think too much, or if the emperor really has something on his mind?" Politics? Or a harem? ”

Xuan Ye looked at his aunt in a daze: "Auntie, can you see it?" ”

Seeing that Xuan Ye was not disgusted, Yatu said more frankly: "Auntie, I've been worried about you these days. ”

Xuan Ye asked, "Does the imperial grandmother know?" ”

Yatu smiled: "I may know it, but the emperor has every opportunity, and it is natural to worry about state affairs." ”

Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "It's a family matter, naturally...... It's also about state affairs. Auntie, I'm worried about pomegranates. ”

The person who knows best what will happen in the future is precisely Xuan Ye, he knows who he may choose to enter the palace in the future, although the draft is a public and fair event, but the queen can bear a scar in the world, and many things are self-evident.

"Pomegranate is a member of the Tong family after all, her position will be very embarrassing in the future, even if Shu Shu completely trusts Pomegranate, I will ......" Xuan Ye said heavily, "Auntie, Tong Guowei is too shrewd, everything he has done for me now can be returned to me in the future, I am afraid that he will hurt the queen one day." ”

Yatu didn't expect that Xuan Ye was worried about such a thing, in comparison, what did Fulin do in those years?

"Auntie?" Xuan Ye was a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, my aunt is so happy." Tears appeared in the corners of Yatu's eyes, and she said to Xuan Ye, "Your Majesty, if you have this heart, you will never be fine, and my aunt will not worry about anything." ”

Xuan Ye was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Why don't I understand what my aunt said." ”

Yatu said: "Shu Shuhui is a great queen, don't worry too much, I heard Su Mala say that it was Shu Shu who asked Pomegranate to stay in Kunning Palace, so she must have thought about what she needs to face in the future." It's hard for her to know the way of checks and balances at a young age, whether it is the government or the harem, it is never possible for one person to be alone, such as the likes of Aobai, and will eventually perish. ”

Xuan Ye's heart was relieved, and he said gratefully: "I'm afraid that everyone can see that I have something on my mind, but no one dares to ask, it's still my aunt." ”

Yatu said: "The closest ones are naturally the queen, the concubine, and your children." ”

At the Lantern Festival banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xuan Ye was promoted to worship and curb Bilong as the Taishi, replacing the former Sony and being a very popular minister.

Under the repeated crimes of Aobai, abusing power for personal gain, and even indiscriminately killing innocent people, the emperor still gave such a high trust and treatment to a powerful minister, which not only chilled the ministers and the people, but also made more people cling to Aobai.

And these people, stepping into the Aobai Mansion with their front feet, and their names with their back feet, will be nailed to the "book of life and death" by the emperor.

In a blink of an eye, the midwinter passed, and the spring of Kangxi's seventh year came very eagerly, and there were several days of heat on the head in March, and when I walked a little faster under the sun, I was sweating.

The palace maids in the sewing room rushed to tailor the clothes for the masters, and at this moment the embroidery girls measured the size for Shu Shu, while chatting and saying: "Queen Mother, I heard that the climate is abnormal this year, I am afraid that it will be a disaster, and the slaves and maids are very afraid." ”

Shu Shu said: "Don't be alarmist, there was nothing to do, but it made people panic with false rumors." ”

The embroidered girl said: "It was Lord Nan Huairen who personally said to the emperor, the slave maid happened to be waiting in the Qianqing Palace that day, and she wanted to measure the emperor's head, and she heard it really well." ”

Shu Shu glanced at the embroidered girl, didn't speak, and glanced at the pomegranate.

This embroidery girl who loves to talk a lot will naturally not be qualified to serve in front of the emperor in the future, but the important affairs of the court cannot be delayed, if it is a year of many disasters, the inner palace should reduce the use and benefit the people.

"Please come to Concubine Zhao." Shu Shu commanded, "Say that I have something important." ”
