At this time, the Queen Mother was also pondering in the palace, what was this Ye Mu so anxious to enter the palace? It stands to reason that Mrs. Mu should have told Ye Mu's meaning that she meant, Ye Mu's suddenly rushed into the palace, is it unwilling? Or was there something else in her mind?

The Queen Mother was thinking about things in her heart, and she didn't feel that time passed slowly, and when the palace maid came in to report that Ye Mu's had arrived, the Queen Mother came back to her senses and nodded: "Mrs. Xuanye come in." ”

After the palace maid went out for a while, Ye Mushi followed Xia Changshou in, walked to the middle of the room, and leaned over to salute: "The concubine has seen the queen mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up, it's clear that you should call your aunt the mourning family, you want to call it like this, there are no outsiders here, so it's okay to be presumptuous, sit down." The Queen Mother smiled and raised her hand, and pointed to the chair next to her.

Ye Mushi stood up, sat diagonally on the chair next to her, her face showed some uneasiness, and she smiled reluctantly: "Empress Dowager Xie is very loving, but this etiquette must not be abolished." ”

"What can't be abolished, it's not an outsider, in this Cining Palace, the mourning family can still be the master." The Queen Mother smiled, and thought that Ye Mu's nature was wrong, the girls of the Mu family have always been well-behaved, although Ye Mu's is a little distant, she looks dignified and polite.

When Ye Mushi heard this, he showed some eagerness and pursed his lips: "Having said that, it's just ...... Niangniang, the concubine has something to inquire about, and please step back! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to the people around her: "These are the henchmen of the mourning family, and not half a word will leak out, you just have to rest assured." ”

Ye Mushi hesitated again and again, and shook his head: "Please forgive the concubine for being rude, this matter is really a big matter, if you don't hold back, the concubine will definitely not dare to speak...... Grant me the concubine! ”

The Queen Mother was helpless, and waved her hand to the palace maids serving in the palace: "Go down, you are not allowed to come in without my summons." ”

Xia Changshou answered yes and led people out, and when the footsteps in the hall fell silent, the Queen Mother raised her eyelids: "Anyway, what's mysterious and mysterious?" ”

Ye Mushi stood up and walked a few steps forward, walked in front of the Queen Mother, said rudeness, rolled up his sleeves a little, and showed the Queen Mother the pair of mandarin duck bracelets: "Look, that's what it's for......"

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, her brows furrowed deeply: "This ...... Isn't it the 'Phoenix Ring' at the beginning? ”

Ye Mushi sighed and answered in a low voice.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and stroked the pair of jade mandarin duck bracelets, and fell into contemplation: "This pair of jade mandarin duck bracelets is emerald green, and there is no variegation on the whole bracelet except for a touch of blood...... I remember that the emperor gave this bracelet to you when he was young, and then you lost another one? Why, now you find it? ”

Ye Mushi nodded and shook his head, and said with some trepidation: "I lost one, the saint was confused for a while, and the concubine didn't know how to measure, so she accepted this priceless treasure in a daze, and then lost another one, and the queen mother didn't care about it, and the concubine remembered five things, and now this bracelet is reunited again, but, but this other one was returned by the emperor!" ”

"What? According to what you say, the other bracelet has always been in the emperor's hands? The Queen Mother was startled, and her face changed a little.

The concubine didn't dare to say so, because this bracelet was not received by the concubine, and the emperor asked Tang'er to go out on letterhead, and bought this bracelet for Tang'er in the pawnshop, and said that Tang'er would find the concubine to ask for another one, and make a pair of mandarin duck bracelets...... Although this bracelet was sold by someone else and the emperor bought it, the concubine thought to herself, this is too coincidental! Why is it so coincidental, this bracelet has been lost for more than ten years and has no news, how can it be that someone used it when the emperor went out? It just so happened that the emperor went to the pawnshop again and bumped into the bracelet! Besides, the emperor said that again, and the concubine was really a little bottomless in her heart......" Ye Mushi hesitated to say the whole thing.

The Queen Mother frowned and fell into deep thought, and it took a long time to raise her eyebrows: "You have done a good job in this matter, and the future will be handled by the mourning family, so you don't have to worry." ”

"The concubine thanked the queen mother, and the concubine didn't dare to ask for anything, so she begged Tang'er to be safe and sound, but like this, the concubine really couldn't let go of this heart, so she had to come to you to ask for an understanding, this scorpion sting, but teach you to laugh...... Alas, Tang'er's life is uncertain, and the concubine always has no bottom in her heart! Ye Mushi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"What Tang'er's life is not set for a day, are you blaming the mourning family for not making a clear decree? The mourning family has already spoken, so you just put your heart in your stomach! The Queen Mother frowned, a little displeased.

"The queen mother is angry, the concubine doesn't mean this, the concubine just feels that Tang'er doesn't have anyone now? If you are willing to appreciate your face, you can help Tang'er look at each other, and the concubines do not ask for any imperial power and wealth, as long as they can be good to Tang'er, the concubines will be satisfied. Ye Mushi lowered his head slightly and said with sincere fear.

"What are you talking about? Didn't the mourning family say a long time ago that they wanted Tang'er to be the crown princess? Why are you saying that again? The Queen Mother frowned, becoming more and more puzzled.

"Ah, how can Tang'er be so virtuous, how can you be so loved by the Queen Mother, the concubine really doesn't know about this, if the concubine knows, she won't say this, if Tang'er can serve by His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the blessing of the Ye family, don't say it's the princess, it's the side concubine, and the concubine is also willing!" Ye Mushi looked surprised, and smiled in an instant.

"How...... Did you find out about it? The Queen Mother was stunned.

"Yes, if the concubine had known the news, she wouldn't have said that, wouldn't she have slapped herself in the face? The concubines often think privately that if Tang'er's wishful husband is said to be the best of the Prince, but although the concubines have this idea, they have always regarded it as an infatuation, and now they can get the queen mother's wishes, and the concubines are grateful. Ye Mushi said with a smile.

The Queen Mother frowned deeply, and nodded after a while: "Well, you know what the mourning family means, now that you know the meaning of the mourning family, don't rush to find someone for Tang'er, you have to wait for a while." Now that your heart is at ease, go back first. ”

Ye Mushi smiled and retreated, and left satisfied.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then called Xia Changshou in and asked him, "When you went to find Mrs. Ye, what was her situation?" ”

mentioned this matter, Xia Changshou opened the conversation: "When the slave went to find Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye was talking to Mrs. Mu at the Mu house, you said that this matter is ridiculous, the slave announced that Mrs. Ye entered the palace, and as soon as Mrs. Ye came out, an old woman in the backyard of Mu Mansion rushed out and said that Mrs. Mu had fainted, and she had to leave Mrs. Ye behind. You say it's ridiculous...... The slave talked a lot, and the queen mother was angry. ”

Xia Changshou was halfway through speaking, when he saw that the Queen Mother's face was getting heavier and heavier, she thought that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately stopped her mouth and confessed.

The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head: "I don't blame you, it's the mourning family's own thoughts." ”

"Queen Mother, what do you think?" Xia Changshou was stunned.

"Yes," the Queen Mother sneered, "this kind of thing is probably called 'married daughter, spilled water'!" ”

Xia Changshou pursed his lips and lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

"That's it, when it comes to the status of the mourning family today, do you still ask them for anything! They don't take the words of the mourning family seriously, and the mourning family will not rely on them! None of them give the mourning family peace of mind! The Queen Mother rubbed the corners of her forehead, and her face became more and more difficult to look at, "Xia Changshou, go and invite the emperor to the mourning family." ”

"Niangniang, your face is not very good, or you should ...... slowly"

"Go!"

Xia Changshou was interrupted by the Queen Mother's loud shout, Xia Changshou made the Queen Mother tremble, and she didn't dare to say more, so she honestly bowed down and asked the emperor to come over.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." After a while, Qi Jingzhi hurriedly came in civilian clothes to give a salute to the Queen Mother.

"Get up, sit." The Queen Mother's face was not very good-looking, and she said lightly.

Qi Jingzhi was confused, sat down according to his words, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is in a hurry to summon her sons today, but is there anything important?" ”

"Let's talk about it, about the 'Phoenix Ring', you scared Cunning, the girl handed me a sign early this morning, and went back to Mu's house to find Mrs. Mu to ask Xin'er, what do you think? Give the mourning family a quasi-word, and it will save you a thought, and the mourning family is another thought here. The Queen Mother sighed and said.

"What can Erchen think?" Qi Jingzhi smiled, a little dazed.

"The mourning family said it directly, it is the girl of the Qing Shang, the mourning family has the intention to refer to her as the crown princess, Yu'er can't wait for three years, what about the emperor? What's going on with that? The Queen Mother said with a straight face, but there was a tiredness between her eyebrows that was difficult to hide.

At the mention of Ye Tanghua, Qi Jingzhi pondered for a while, thinking of her similar appearance to Mu Cunning when she was young, but she was a little more clever than Mu Cunning, and couldn't help but laugh lowly: "This son hasn't thought about it yet, let's put it off." ”

"Although Qing Shang is good, he is only too young, but it is just right to match Yu'er, the emperor has all over the world, so why should he be obsessed with one person?" The Queen Mother sighed, and her words meant something.

"Others said that the sons and daughters might still consider it, and it was the most unconvincing for the queen mother to say this, how much did the father and the emperor beat the queen mother than the queen mother? Let Erchen think about it...... You're in your twenties, right? Qi Jingzhi smiled.

"Twenty years old." The Queen Mother sighed again and rubbed her eyebrows: "Okay, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, the mourning family can't be managed, the mourning family only has one sentence, whether it is the emperor or Yu'er, don't let Qingshang fall aside, that is a female Zhuge who does not let her eyebrows, it is difficult to have a better woman than her in her generation, the emperor should always consider for the country!" ”

"The sons can save it, and the queen mother can rest assured." Qi Jingzhi took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile.

"Having said that, the emperor has also gone too far, you can take the 'Phoenix Ring' and keep it, you shouldn't just give it to someone, the loss of Cunning is a good one, if this is a person who doesn't know the depth, and shouts out, how can it be counted?" The Queen Mother calmed down, remembered this again, and couldn't help but reprimand Qi Jingyi.

"Queen Mother, the 'Phoenix Ring' was really met by Erchen in the pawnshop, it wasn't Erchen who sent someone to get it back, and it wasn't Erchen who took it for a few years." Qi Jingzhi couldn't cry or laugh a little, the bracelet was lost weirdly at the beginning, but how could the Queen Mother think that he sent someone to steal it?

"Oh, that thief is so stupid, he stole such a valuable bracelet for more than ten years and didn't make a move, and he let you bump into it as soon as he made a move, how could it be so coincidental! The emperor deceived the old man and didn't know what to do? The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"This matter is also unclean, now someone has been sent to investigate this matter thoroughly, the pawnshop Chaofeng said that he was born with a handsome young descendant, a mouthful of the state accent, and the state people have always been obedient, there are evil people is not surprising, there are white feathers riding out of the horse, I think it will be a few days to have eyebrows, and please rest assured." Qi Jingzhi smiled helplessly, and could only express his doubts and the measures taken.

"Let's see." The Queen Mother nodded and smiled slightly, and the sorrow between her eyebrows finally loosened a little.
