Seeing that Shu Shu was interested in her, Pomegranate also said frankly: "If the slave and maid come forward in this matter, the adults in the mansion must think that the Tong Mansion wants to empty you and let you cut off contact with the Hesheri clan, and even suspect the intentions of the Empress Dowager." ”

Shu Shu's expression was solemn, she entrusted Pomegranate, but it was because she didn't have this ability yet, but she ignored the most important thing.

"Auntie, I trust you completely, and please trust me." Shu Shu said, "Although the elders all said affectionately that we are still children, but a child like me who was born at the age of seven or eight understood a lot of human feelings and sophistication, even if I wanted to be innocent and cute, I understood everything in my heart." ”

"Slaves and maids know." Pomegranate said, "The slave maid also looked at Queen Xiaokang and came step by step." “

"I know what my family expects from me, but I still want to pin my life on the emperor and the queen mother. From now on, I am a member of the Aixin Jueluo family, as for the family, as long as I am well, they will not be bad. Shu Shu said, "Since the emperor gave me the jade Ruyi, I have thought that if I vacillate between the two, I will not be able to take care of either end in the end, and there will never be a good result." ”

Pomegranate burst into tears: "You are so sensible, if Miss is still alive, it should be gratifying." ”

Shu Shu smiled at Pomegranate: "Auntie, I will become the emperor's queen well, so that Eniang's spirit in the sky can rest in peace." ”

Pomegranate sniffed, and then said: "The four people sent by the mansion don't have to be driven out, if they are driven out, not to mention the trouble, the mansion will still send people again." At the moment, you can still see these four people, and if there are a few people you can't see in the future, you will have no bottom in your heart. After a few years, the emperor will be in power, and the harem will change, so let's make plans. ”

Shu Shu agreed: "Just do what my aunt says." ”

Pomegranate said: "The most important thing about Empress Xiaokang during her lifetime is that she will never tell what she hears and sees everywhere, so the slave and maid will never let her down." Niangniang, don't worry, all the words you say to the slave and maid, the slave and the maid will hide it in their hearts, and they will never turn around and tell the queen mother. ”

"Auntie, get up." Shu Shu said, "Tell you, I feel very comfortable." ”

Pomegranate folded the quilt for Shu Shu and said, "Niangniang rest early, tomorrow Mongolia's Gege arrives, and the people of Horqin are coming, and you have to go to receive it together." ”

Horqin's experience, it was not the right time, the capital had just experienced an earthquake, and the imperial court really had no time to entertain them, so Yu'er set up two tables of family banquets in Cining Palace, which could be regarded as catching the wind.

This time, the child they sent was less than ten years old, and in terms of seniority, it was Yu'er's cousin's niece, and Xuan Ye had to call out his cousin.

But no one said that this child was going to be a concubine for Xuan Ye, Yu'er said that the ten-year-old child was pitiful and was raised in the palace first.

The imperial court was busy rebuilding after the earthquake, and the people of Horqin did not stay long, so Yu'er said that it was difficult to walk in the snow in the future, so she invited them back early.

What's more, Yu'er still owes Xuanye a thing to do, Ao Bai instead of the Empress Dowager to send the Horqin nobles out of Beijing, and then return to Cining Palace to resume their lives, Su Mala put down fragrant tea and snacks, Yu'er said: "Sit down, let's discuss one thing." ”

Ao Bai's brows trembled slightly, he didn't know how to eat the refreshments, and only said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager, if you have anything, just give orders, and the ministers will do their best to do it." ”

"How are you going to end John Tang's case?" Yu'er went straight to the point and said frankly, "I hope the court can open up and let them go." ”

"The Empress Dowager!" Ao Bai looked serious, "Isn't it a verdict of such concessions, I am afraid of foreigners?" ”

"It's not that serious, but you see, how serious this earthquake is." Yu'er said, "By taking advantage of the natural disaster, I just gave each other a step down, and the right was to give the court an amnesty and spare their lives." ”

Ao Bai lowered his eyes and was silent, resisting with silence.

Yu'er said: "Naturally, I should take care of your face even more, so John Tang wants them all to leave the capital and send them to the south, without the will of the imperial court, they are not allowed to go north." At the same time, missionaries are also forbidden to preach doctrine along the coast, and violators are guilty of stealing the country. ”

Ao Bai pondered for a moment, but opened his mouth and asked: "The minister really doesn't understand, why you and the emperor have to protect a foreigner who is full of nonsense." ”

Yu'er said: "It's not Xuan Ye's intention, he just conveyed my mind in the court." Ao Bai, Fulin has liked John Tang since he was a child, and often goes to his church to sit, Fulin has suffered too many grievances in this life, and I'm really sorry for him. I just want to be able to leave something he likes and people he likes, that's all. ”

Ao Bai's face turned pale, and he bowed down and said: "The Empress Dowager, the minister has offended, and I ask the Empress Dowager for forgiveness." ”

Yu'er said: "It's the selfishness of a woman's family, and I shouldn't be entangled with the national court, but I ...... Aobai, we have been friends for decades, so for the sake of Taizong's face, how about fulfilling the heart of a mother who has lost her son? ”

Ao Bai's heart suddenly softened, and he bent his knees and said: "Yes, the minister doesn't know the hard work of the empress dowager, and the minister deserves to die." ”

Yu'er said: "You have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and you are a person who wants to leave a name in history." I know that people outside have criticized you a lot, but I never took it seriously, I brought you from Hetuala, and I knew I wouldn't choose the wrong person. Aobai, I handed over Xuanye to you, this time, we must cultivate a prosperous monarch for the Qing Dynasty. ”

Ao Bai is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, the Queen Mother's words reminded him of his hard work and honor in the past few decades, the Queen Mother has asked for this, he really can't be tougher.

"In the case of John Tang, the ministers will convene all ministries to discuss again." Ao Bai said, "Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager." ”

Yu'er drank tea, raised her eyes and quietly glanced at him, and said, "Get up, it's cold on the ground, and there is one more thing, Sonny is sick, do you know?" ”

Ao bowed his head: "Yes, the minister has visited yesterday." ”

Yu'er said: "Sonny is old and frail, although he is the head of the four auxiliary ministers, he is unable to do it. So in the future, big and small things will fall on you, and I hope you will also take care of your health. ”

As she spoke, she called Su Mala, who had already prepared and sent a huge and stout wild ginseng, Yu'er said: "The Northeast just sent it this year, and it is the best to replenish the body." ”

"Such a valuable thing, the minister does not dare." Ao Bai hurriedly excused himself.

"Lord Ao, you can accept it, the Queen Mother saw this wild ginseng for the first time, and she said that she wanted to keep it for Lord Ao." Su Mala said with a smile, "If you refuse, won't you live up to the Queen Mother's wishes." ”

"The Empress Dowager is loved, but the ministers are disrespectful and deserved." Ao Bai took the wild ginseng and kowtowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager." ”

Yu'er asked him to excuse himself, and after discussing a few more things, Su Mala personally sent Ao Bai out of the palace.

Ao Bai all the way to the palace that the earthquake damaged the palace has not been repaired, I am really sorry for the Queen Mother and the emperor, Su Mala echoed, saying that Ao Da is concerned about the world, worried about the people, and takes the world as the first Yunyun, saying all the compliments.

On Yu'er's side, in order to prevent Aobai from having eyeliner in the palace, the grandparents and grandchildren were not in a hurry to meet as soon as he left, until Xuanye came to ask for peace in the evening, and then told him that Aobai promised to give in.

But Xuan Ye was not happy, what qualifications did he have to be happy with the result of this request with the dignity of the imperial grandmother, and respectfully kowtowed to his grandmother, saying that the imperial grandmother had worked hard.

"You said that you should avoid conflicts with Aobai, and tolerate three points in the future." Yu'er said, "One day, when you grow up and can trample him under your feet, then don't let him get up again." Xuan Ye, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

After sunset, Kubilong quietly came to Aobai Mansion, entered the study, and saw a huge wild ginseng on the table, he was busy complimenting: "This thing is priceless, and you will be able to live a long life if you eat it." ”

Ao Bai snorted coldly: "It is a reward from the Queen Mother." ”

Curb Bilong hurriedly said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful. He smiled again and said, "Have you heard, the emperor is very affectionate to my family Lingzhao, not only shushing the cold and asking for warmth, but also in Nanyuan during the earthquake, the emperor even pulled Lingzhao to escape, hugged her and protected her." ”

"Really?" Ao Bai squinted his eyes, "It seems that the emperor likes Lingzhao?" ”

"Anything else can be pretended, the most popular moment of crisis, the emperor can't be wrong with Lingzhao." "In four or five years, if Ling Zhao can give birth to the emperor's eldest son, he will ...... then."

Ao Bai sneered and touched his beard: "I went to see Sony yesterday, and he was very sick." ”

Ji Bilong stepped forward and suppressed his voice: "When the time comes, I want to drive the Hesheri clan out of Kunning Palace, and wait for Lingzhao to enter the Middle Palace, and from then on, the Qing Dynasty will be the world of your father-in-law." ”

Ao Bai glanced at Kupilon with disdain, walked away with his hand, turned his back to him and said, "This is the world of Aixin Jueluo. ”

In this way, at the insistence of Xuan Ye and Yu'er's "pleading", Tang Ruowang's case finally came to an end, and he saved his life, but Qin Tianjian changed blood, and the "Shixian Calendar" handed down from the former Ming Dynasty was also abolished.

Tong Guogang was entrusted by Xuan Ye to visit Tang Ruowang, the old man couldn't help but be imprisoned, although he was spared death, but he was extremely weak, and he was afraid that it would not last long.

Xuan Ye was very sad, but he couldn't protect it clearly, so he could only ask his uncle to think of his son and send someone to take care of him.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth year of Kangxi, and this year's emperor's new harem should have been celebrated. However, the Empress Dowager issued an order, saying that the Empress was worried about the suffering of the people, and requested that the New Year's Celebration of the Palace be halved this year to relieve the victims, and that the people could also spend Chinese New Year's Eve in peace.

Naturally, this is not Shu Shu taking the initiative to bring it up, she is still a child, don't talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the affairs of the harem are not yet in power, so she cannot interfere without authorization. But Yu'er wants to give her granddaughter-in-law a good reputation and spread it all over the world, and such a good thing is naturally counted on her.

Before Chinese New Year's Eve, the family members of the concubine entered the palace to pay respects and send gifts, and the Niu Hulu clan naturally could not be left behind.

Kubilong said to his daughter unabashedly: "You see, in the name of the empress, the empress dowager has reduced the inner palace to relieve the victims, such a good thing can only be the queen, no matter how much the emperor likes you in the future, even if you give birth to the crown prince for the Qing Dynasty, as long as you are not the queen, everything must stand aside." ”
