There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind her, and Nuan Nuan's little hand grabbed Yuan Xi, she didn't have to look down, she knew that it was her son.

"Where did it come from?" Yuan Xi asked.

"I just went to visit my second brother and second sister at my brother's office." Xuan Ye said, "The elder brother is so lonely, the second brother said that he wanted to go back to the study, and he was so stuffy that he even had to go to the study." ”

"Xuan Ye, you are doing the emperor's business, does the second brother know?" Yuan Xi asked.

"I know, my second brother and sister have kowtowed to me." Xuan Ye said with some grievances, "Eniang, I feel uncomfortable, I am a younger brother." ”

"This is a courtesy of a king." Yuan Xi gently explained his son, "They bow to you to respect you, and you accept their salute well, which is also a respect for your subordinates." ”

"Erchen remembered." Xuan Ye said, "Eniang, after a few more times, I must get used to it." ”

"Good boy, let's take our time." Yuan Xi said.

"E-niang...... Are you here to mourn the Emperor? Xuan Ye said, "The imperial grandmother didn't allow me to cry anymore, the imperial grandmother said that only when Ama was buried, I would cry to the ministers, and besides, I was not allowed to cry for the emperor Ama again." ”

"The imperial grandmother is right, tears will not be exchanged for anything, your ministers do not need to see your pity, they will not sympathize with you and pity you."

Yuan Xi said, seeing that the tip of her son's nose was red, knowing that it was frozen, this empty palace did not burn charcoal, and it was so cold that people's bones hurt, she hurriedly took Xuan Ye out, took the hand stove from Da Li Zi's hand, and stuffed it into her son's arms.

looked at Da Li Zi again, and said: "The queen mother left you by the emperor's side because she trusted you to be steady and smart all the time, and serving the emperor is a chore, not only to take care of the emperor's diet and daily life, but also to deal with the ministers." The days to come will be very long, I hope you will abide by your duty and don't follow the old path of Wu Liangfu, in this palace, no second Wu Liangfu will be allowed. ”

When Xuan Ye heard his mother say this, he asked Da Li Zi in the tone of an adult: "Did you hear what E-Niang said?" ”

Da Li Zi agreed repeatedly, swearing to the sky that he would serve the emperor with all his heart.

But Yuan Xi said: "The emperor is still a child after all, and it is inevitable that when he is childish, don't indulge him, don't deceive his superiors and subordinates for him." She looked down at Xuan Ye and said solemnly, "Don't bully Da Lizi, if you are the emperor, you will do whatever you want, Eniang will never spare you." ”

Xuan Ye pouted slightly, hugged Eniang's lap, and Yuan Xi said angrily: "You are all emperors, are you still coquettish?" ”

"Then I'm also Eniang's son." Xuan Ye said, "I'm only seven years old. ”

"You......" Yuan Xi sneered.

After that, he put on the snow for his son, let Xuan Ye lead the way, and went to Ningshou Palace, where the queen moved.

At present, in addition to the queen, several Mongolian concubines, as well as Chen Concubine and Ning Concubine, are also here. They live at the back of the Queen Mother's main hall, they don't go deeper, they can't see, and they can't come out casually anymore.

"Empress Dowager Tong is auspicious." Gao Wa greeted her from the door.

Yuan Xi bowed his head and looked at Gao Wa carefully, I haven't seen her for a long time, this girl's complexion is better than before. Xu no longer has to worry about the queen, for her and the queen, Fulin's departure, if not a good thing, is by no means a bad thing.

Because the two empress dowagers have not yet been officially canonized, the palace people call Yuan Xi the Empress Dowager Tong to distinguish them.

Emperor Daxing died, and the queen of the middle palace is naturally the justifiable queen mother, but the mother of the new monarch can only become the queen mother after being canonized, but in fact, at the moment, Yuan Xi does not have the identity of the queen mother, and everyone shouts like this, but it is polite.

But Yuanxi is too lazy to care, others call her the same thing, don't you call her the queen mother or the concubine, can Fulin come back to life?

I haven't seen her for a long time, and when the queen saw Yuan Xi, tears fell like rain, and the two held hands silently, and after a while, she calmed down.

But looking up at Yuan Xi, a good person, there was not a single tear, the queen was stunned, and asked, "Yuan Xi, are you okay?" ”

Not only the queen, but everyone in Jingren Palace felt that Yuan Xi didn't cry, she was holding it in her heart, and she was going to be sick, maybe it was, but Yuan Xi didn't feel depressed, she just couldn't cry.

"I'm fine, I've come to see you, it's time to go to Cining Palace." Yuan Xi said, "The Queen Mother temporarily allowed me to live in Jingren Palace for a year, and it just so happened that Xuan Ye still had to live there, so I could take care of him." After Xuan Ye ascends the throne next year, he will move to live in Sister Barya's small courtyard, closer to the Queen Mother, so that it is convenient to serve the Queen Mother. ”

"Yuan Xi, Eniang, she is the Queen Mother." The queen said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that at the age of twenty, I would become the queen mother." ”

Yuan Xi said: "In the past, we were together, and we will be in the future. ”

The queen smiled bitterly and sighed heavily: "I know you are very sad in your heart, after all, the emperor has had a relationship with you, and you have been held in his heart by him, and what about me, whether he is alive or dead, whether he is there or not, in fact, it is the same." I've just changed my place to live, I've changed my name, how I lived in the past, and how I will live in the future. ”

"Relax your mind." Yuan Xi comforted the queen in turn, "Everything will be fine, and the emperor will bless us in heaven." ”

The queen shook her head: "Don't worry about me, don't worry about me." ”

At this time, Gao Wa came over and said to the two: "The concubines and concubines in the backyard are coming to greet the Empress Dowager Tong." ”

Yuan Xi politely refused: "Come to Japan, please take care of each other, I don't want to see them for the time being." ”

"Yes." Gao Wa said, and said, "Concubine Ning asked the Queen Mother for another decree and wanted to visit the second elder brother. ”

The queen said: "She comes to beg me every day, and she is also pitiful." Although the ban on the Forbidden City has been lifted now, my brother can't go casually, although she is pitiful, I am also embarrassed. ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and got up: "Please come to Concubine Ning, I'll go see her." ”

Xuan Ye was on the side, following his mother out of the door, Ning Concubine came in a hurry, as soon as she saw the mother and son, her heart seemed to be crushed on the ground, even if she knew that she had no chance of winning, even if she knew that she didn't have to fight, she still expected Fu Quan to become the emperor, but unfortunately she didn't even have a dream, and she woke up.

"Concubine Ning is polite." Xuan Ye owed to Concubine Ning, although he is now the emperor, but his father's widows are all elders and concubines, so he should treat each other politely.

Concubine Ning smiled awkwardly and saluted Yuan Xi.

"The emperor returned from the elder brother and went to visit the second elder brother, and he was full of life and very healthy." Yuan Xi said, "I was in the place of smallpox twice, and all the blessings were gone, which shows that the name given by the Empress Dowager and the first emperor for the second elder brother can bless him for a lifetime." Then I hope that Concubine Ning can also take good shelter for your son. ”

Concubine Ning swallowed her saliva, bowed down and said, "Listen to the concubine." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Taizong Guifei, she is still alive, she lives not far from here, and when you have time, you can go and ask for peace." ”

Concubine Ning tensed all over, not hesitating to stare at Yuan Xi, of course she knew what happened to Namu Zhong.

Yuan Xi said: "I hope that Concubine Ning can bring the best influence to the second elder brother and guide him to the right path." ”
