Mingzhu put Zhuang Zhuang into the arms of the Empress Dowager and whispered, "I'm still asleep." ”

The Empress Dowager did not speak, gently opened the swaddling clothes, looked at Zhuang Zhuang silently, and then said, "He looks more like his father." ”

Mingzhu Xin said, in fact, Zhuang Zhuang looks more like her, right? But since the Empress Dowager feels more like Yu Wenchu, it's like Yu Wenchu.

The Empress Dowager weighed her weight again: "This child is very strong, and this little name is good." The name is Pu, right? ”

"Yes." Mingzhu stared at the Empress Dowager's hand tightly, for fear that she would accidentally get Zhuang Zhuang to the ground. The Empress Dowager noticed it, so she didn't return Zhuang Zhuang to her, but hugged Zhuang Zhuang and talked to her: "This child has a good heart, and he sleeps really well." ”

Mingzhu said: "Like me." ”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyes and glanced at her, noncommittal, and lowered her head to gently touch her sturdy little face. saw Zhuang Zhuang open his small mouth and yawned, then opened his eyes and stared at the Empress Dowager for a while, suddenly grinned, smiled extremely sweet and bright, and then reached out and grabbed one of the Empress Dowager's fingers.

The Empress Dowager was stunned, looking at Zhuang Zhuang in a daze, Aunt Mu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, this child likes you, look, he looks at you and smiles so happily." ”

The Empress Dowager showed a smile to Zhuang Zhuang with some embarrassment, and when Zhuang Zhuang saw her smile at him, he immediately struggled to sit up, and then as a matter of course, he lay on the Empress Dowager's chest and grabbed her collar, and then began to gnaw.

This child is so unrecognizable. Mingzhu was both relieved and afraid that the Empress Dowager would be annoyed, so she hurriedly reached out to grab the food from Zhuangzhuang's mouth and wanted to take him over: "The child is not sensible, and he has been teething recently, so he always likes to gnaw everywhere." ”

"Did you get him a teething stick?" The Empress Dowager returned Zhuang Zhuang to Mingzhu, did not care about the collar that was wet with saliva, and did not show a look of disgust on her face, but said calmly: "Originally, I still had a few teething sticks used by children in this palace, but I won't give them to you, you can bring two in by the way when you let people pack up their things." Don't be wooden, easy to be soaked in saliva, but also love to drop wood slag, not easy to clean, preferably ceramic or glazed. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Yes, it's just that he doesn't like teethers, so he likes to grab and gnaw everywhere." ”

"It's like when you were a kid." The Empress Dowager stared at Zhuang Zhuang for a while, and then said, "Actually, I still look more like you when I laugh." ”

Well, when I hated it, I felt more like Yuwenchu, but now I feel pleasing to the eye, it's more like her. Mingzhu didn't bother to care, and handed Zhuang Zhuang to the nurse: "It's time for him to change his diaper." ”

Aunt Mu asked her to take the nurse and Su Lan to the next room, while she herself was busy serving hot tea and fresh pastries to the aunt and nephew, who rarely spoke well.

The Empress Dowager motioned for Mingzhu to sit down beside her: "I will keep you and Zhuang Zhuang for a few days, and I will send you out when the king of Yanping County successfully ascends the throne." ”

Mingzhu said: "Auntie thinks it's good to be down-to-earth." ”

On a deeper topic, neither of them was willing to talk about it in detail, and the Empress Dowager turned to ask about Fu Cong's situation: "I heard that it has stabilized." ”

Mingzhu nodded: "That's right, it's stabilized for the time being." ”

The Empress Dowager asked Cui again: "Still the same?" ”

"It's the same, but she should be able to hear and understand when talking to her, but she can't wake up."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time and said, "I got along very well with your mother in my early years, and I am also very sad that she is like this." And your father, I don't want him to be like that. ”

Mingzhu said softly: "Father and mother, as well as me, also wish my aunt to live a long and healthy life." ”

The Empress Dowager did not speak, and said for a long time: "You go down and rest, if the King of England comes, you don't need to see him, so as not to fight and startle the child." ”

Mingzhu silently retreated, and returned to the place where she had lived before with Zhuang Zhuang as usual. At night, Wei Tiande sent a bunch of her and Zhuangzhuang's change of clothes and daily necessities in, knelt on the ground and told her: "Your Highness has been here before, and the Empress Dowager does not allow him to come to see the princess, but He promises His Highness that as long as the King of Yanping County can ascend the throne safely and smoothly, you and Brother Zhuang'er will be safe." His Royal Highness ordered the slave maid and the princess to say, please rest assured, take care, he is always there. ”

Mingzhu nodded: "I see." Tell His Highness that my child and I are fine, this is what I used to live in, and no one will disturb him, please rest assured. Also, please rest a lot for Your Highness, things can't be done, please take care of his health. ”

Wei Tiande rubbed his eyes: "The slave knows." ”

In the next few days, Mingzhu had a good time. In fact, in addition to being unfree, life here is quite good, pure, there are not so many people and things to disturb her, and she can temporarily separate from Yu Wenchu, and each other can calmly digest the impact of the previous incident and consider how to get along in the future.

The most important thing is that she took a big advantage, so she didn't have to follow the wives and go to the cold wind to cry and guard the bastard thing of Yu Wenbai. Although she has rough skin and thick flesh, she can't help but kneel and howl like this, hiding in the house and baking the fire like now, holding the child to make amusement, wanting to eat, wanting to sleep, and not worrying about people saying strange things, saying that she is not loyal to the monarch and patriotism, hiding and enjoying happiness by herself, how happy.

If there is anything that can't be let go, it is Fu Cong's injury and the person who claims to be the "Jiangzhouzi" deity.

Mingzhu rolled on the bed with Zhuang Zhuang in her arms, lifted him high to her, and made a gesture to throw him down, Zhuang Zhuang was so happy that he smiled "Gege", and the mother and son were both happy and laughed very happily.

Not far away, the Empress Dowager heard the laughter and couldn't help frowning slightly. Fu Zifei hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I'll go and remind my aunt, during the national funeral, it is indeed inappropriate for her to make the child laugh like this." ”

Yu Wenguang raised her head and glanced at her, she lowered her eyes, and looked very worried: "In the past few days, many people have been asking why my aunt didn't go to cry. ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "If they ask again, they will say that I left the British princess, and if they have any opinions, they will come to me directly." It's really not good to laugh and make a fuss during the state funeral, but it can't be on the milk doll for a few months. ”

Fu Zifei was choked and speechless, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "Grandmother is right." It's me who didn't think it through. She seriously doubted that in fact, it was fake that the Queen Mother locked up Fu Mingzhu as a bargaining chip to force the British king, and she wanted to take the opportunity to make Fu Mingzhu more comfortable, right?

Yu Wenguang withdrew his gaze, helped the Empress Dowager, and said slowly: "Since the imperial grandmother has arrived here, then the grandson will accompany you to see the sixth emperor aunt and little brother." ”
