On the day of Sony's funeral, the road sacrifices of princes, nobles, and ministers of civil and military affairs crowded the main road leading from the capital to the outside of the city, and the funeral procession walked for half a day before reaching the city gate.

Fuquan sent the funeral here on behalf of the emperor, and Kabula, Suo Etu and others repeatedly asked him to return before he returned to the imperial city.

When the brothers in the Qianqing Palace met, Fuquan gulped down the iced black plum soup, and in addition to being full of heat, he said to Xuan Ye: "The road sacrifices of each family and each prefecture, stop and go, on such a hot day, the old lady of the Sony family is afraid that she will not be able to hold on, it is really a toss." ”

"How's the old lady?" Xuan Ye asked.

"Looks like it's fine." Fuquan grabbed another piece of dim sum to eat, looked around, and saw no trace of the queen, so he asked, "Is Niangniang okay?" ”

"She is with the imperial grandmother in Cining Palace." Xuan Ye said, "I'm done with it, I'll go see her." ”

"Please ask the emperor to say greetings for me." Fu Quan said, "Please mourn on Mother's Day." ”

Xuan Ye beckoned his brother to come closer, and showed him a drawing, which was the construction drawing of Prince Yu's mansion submitted by the Ministry of Engineering, which was the mansion that Xuan Ye wanted to give to his brother.

"Grandmother Huang said that if Concubine Ning is willing to go to live in the palace with you, it is okay." Xuan Ye said, "But for the sake of the system and rules in the palace, if the concubine Niangniang is unwilling to live with you, if you want to go back and forth between the palace and the inner palace in the future, you need the permission of the imperial mother, and you can't enter and leave freely." This is not to embarrass the concubine, it is the rules of the palace, don't misunderstand the second brother. ”

Fu Quan saw that Xuan Ye was so sincere, how could he be more restrained by the rules, he knew that Xuan Ye treated him well, at least for now, their brothers were not separated from each other.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fuquan retreated, wanting to kowtow and thank you, but was stopped by Xuan Ye.

"So......" After Fu Quan got up, his eyes were shining, he lowered his voice, and asked excitedly, "Is the emperor going to be in charge of the government?" ”

Xuan Ye smiled faintly: "After I become a politician, the second brother will also go to the court to discuss politics, and he will get up before dawn every day, but he is not allowed to be lazy." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the imperial grandmother is staring." Fuquan happily held the drawings of his home, satisfied.

Earlier, he was reluctant to separate from Xuan Ye, and after he became a family and had Fujin, he gradually felt restrained in the elder brother's office, but he didn't dare to propose to leave the palace by himself, but he didn't expect that Xuan Ye had already arranged it for him.

"Don't discuss this matter with the concubine for the time being, and don't say it to the second sister-in-law, after all, there are still some days." Xuan Ye said, "After I take office, I will do everything generously." ”

Fuquan already understood the importance of the government, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

In Cining Palace, Su Mala came to the Buddha Hall and told Yu'er and Shu Shu that Prince Yu had returned, and everything went smoothly for Lord Suo's funeral, and the funeral procession had left the city.

Shu Shu helped Yu'er to get up, and after Yu'er stood still, she looked at the child in front of her and said, "Sony's life is over, you don't have a grandfather, but with me, the imperial grandmother will protect you well." ”

Shu Shu burst into tears, took a step back, and respectfully saluted Yu'er, Su Mala stepped forward to help, and said distressedly: "I've lost weight in a few days, Niangniang, let's eat something with the Queen Mother." ”

"You go and prepare, make something Shu Shu likes to eat." Yu'er said, "I still have something to say to the child, and when I'm done, I'll go and find Concubine Zhao." ”

Shu Shu was not shocked on his face, but he knew in his heart that for yesterday's events, he always had to give an explanation in front of the Queen Mother.

She supported the imperial grandmother, slowly walked to the dormitory, and took the initiative to say: "Imperial grandmother, what you want to ask your grandson is yesterday?" ”

Yu'er bowed: "Why is Concubine Zhao crying, do you know." ”

Shu Shu replied frankly: "My grandson knows that he is not sad for my grandfather, he really can't do it." ”

Yu'er said: "Since she said it was for Sony's grief, that's it." ”

Shu Shu let go of his hand, stood respectfully, lowered his head and said: "Grandmother Huang, is it the grandson's, the grandson deliberately made her sad by being intimate with the emperor in front of her." ”

"Did you mean it, or did Xuan Ye mean it?" Yu'er asked.

"Yes......" Shu Shu raised his eyes and looked at his grandmother, why could his gentle and amiable eyebrows reveal the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, was the imperial grandmother really angry, or was she timid and weak-hearted.

"It's Xuan Ye, right?" Yu'er said, "But you also obeyed and approved." ”

Shu Shu hurriedly knelt down: "Ask the imperial grandmother to punish you." ”

Yu'er said: "Which queen have you heard of who was punished for being intimate with the emperor?" Get up, even in this Cining Palace, I don't know how many eyes are staring at us from invisible places, standing up your back all the time. ”

Shu Shu didn't dare to be stubborn, hurriedly got up and stood still, and honestly told the Empress Dowager what happened yesterday, she really didn't want to deliberately show off to Niu Hulu, but the emperor wanted to do that, she obeyed without hesitation, and it was also out of selfishness.

"Shu Shu, you are not the daughter-in-law of a small family, you have to be generous in everything you do." Yu'er said solemnly, "Behind closed doors, you and Xuan Ye can play around no matter what, you just take care of yours, and the imperial grandmother is happy for you." But in front of people, don't say it's a concubine, even if it's in front of me, or if the pomegranate is a big plum, you have to be measured. ”

"Grandchildren remember." Shu Shu said.

"I told you the reason, how to do it, or you choose." Yu'er said, "The imperial grandmother has done a lot of things wrong because of her selfishness, and Meng Guqing, who was originally matched by the first emperor, is somewhat delayed in my hands." Of course, not every child can be taught well, but I did let it go back then, which led to a series of tragedies that followed. You are still young, I have to mention you, don't complain about the imperial grandmother's verbosity, it's not that we are old and pedantic, but the road you are walking now is the road that the imperial grandmother once walked. ”

Shu Shu solemnly agreed: "Imperial grandmother, grandson must change." ”

Yu'er tapped lightly on her forehead: "Don't change it to a stereotypical wooden person, as long as you don't have the heart to deliberately show off, between you and Xuan Ye, how should it be, the imperial grandmother likes to see you talk and laugh, even if it is eyebrow-to-eye." But remember, everything has a degree, touch your own heart, know what you are doing, the good of you and Xuan Ye is yours, not to show others. ”

"Grandson has written it down, don't be angry, grandmother, but ...... It's good to talk about the emperor when you look back. Even though Shu Shu was in awe of the Empress Dowager, he had already regarded Yu'er as his own grandmother, and after being disciplined at this time, his heart was down-to-earth, and he said aggrievedly, "Sun Er said a lot of things to persuade him, but he just didn't listen." ”

"Xuan Ye doesn't like Concubine Zhao's affairs?" Yu'er immediately understood, and sighed, "You can't blame Xuan Ye entirely, Xuan Ye originally wanted to treat her well." ”

Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, supported the emperor's grandmother to continue to go back to the dormitory, and ordered the palace maid to fetch water.

It was also a little girl back then, in order to gain a foothold in the harem, she came to Cining Palace to prune flowers and plants pitifully......

"Imperial grandmother?" Shu Shu came with tea, and when he saw the tears in the Empress Dowager's eyes, he suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I miss your mother-in-law." Yu'er said, reaching out to hold Shu Shu's cheek, and said lovingly, "If she is here, she should hurt you more." ”

Shu Shu's eyes were moist, and he said sadly: "Your Majesty, he misses Eniang very much, and he thinks about it very much, but he can only think about it secretly and shed tears secretly." ”

"He cried in front of you, didn't he?" Yu'er asked.

"Yes......" Shu Shu said to himself, and the person who had just lost his grandfather couldn't help crying.

In Ningshou Palace, the Queen Mother heard that the Queen Mother wanted Lingzhao to eat, so she urged the child and said, "Go quickly, don't make the Queen Mother wait for a long time." ”

Ling Zhao put down the things in his hand and did not forget to tell the Queen Mother: "After you take a nap, you must remember to drink medicine." ”

Concubine Ning and Concubine Chen happened to come over, and when they saw Ling Zhao leaving like this, they both smiled and said, "The Queen Mother, it seems that she has a daughter." ”

Concubine Chen always spoke straight, sat down and said: "At first, I always felt that she was here to slap you, but after looking at it day by day, she is really a filial child." In the future, if our Changning Fujin can have half of Concubine Zhao's conduct, I will be satisfied. But ......"

Concubine Ning asked, "But what?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at them and said softly, "If it's superfluous, let's not talk about it." ”

Concubine Chen owed: "Yes, the concubine has nothing to say." ”

said this, until the two of them left the queen mother, Concubine Chen said: "It's a pity that her background is not good, she has such a father, no matter how good she is in the palace, Ao Bai Bilong will be blind in vain as soon as she makes a fuss in the previous dynasty." The emperor doesn't use her to be angry, it's already merciful. ”

Outside Cining Palace, after walking most of the harem from east to west, Lingzhao was so hot that he was sweating, and he didn't dare to enter the door in embarrassment, standing outside the door to wipe his sweat.

Su Mala came out from inside and said kindly: "The Empress Dowager's room is cool, waiting for you." ”

Ling Zhao stepped forward, but he didn't care so much, and asked, "Mama, do you know why the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me to dinner, and the Queen Mother is also there?" Isn't it...... For what I cried yesterday? ”
