However, the farce in Chuxiu's palace was like a gust of wind, and after two days of uneasiness in the palace, nothing happened.

The nobles went to Kunning Palace every morning to wait for peace, and they also stood for half a day and dispersed, and they did not see the queen, nor were they troubled by her.

The end of the month was the emperor's birthday, and there was no celebration in the palace, so Fulin took Yue Le, Jidu, Bogol and other princes and disciples to Xiyuan Nantai. Two days later, Wu Liangfu returned to the palace and took away Barya Fujin and Yang Guiren, seeing that the emperor would have to stay for a while before coming back, the affairs of the court naturally moved there.

At the beginning of February, Qifujin entered the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and frankly said that the matter of Chuxiu Palace still spread out, and he was concerned: "You are fine, right?" ”

Yu'er also knew that there were few peers who could gossip now, and Qifujin was safe, so she couldn't help pouring bitter water on her, but Qifujin said: "The emperor is so steady, you can look at the emperor's face." ”

"I'm angry, but I'm not going to interfere." Yu'er sighed, "It's just that I'm uneasy, where is like you, I can happily sit and enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren." ”

Qifujin smiled bitterly: "That's just the surface scenery, I haven't seen anyone who likes women more than your eldest nephew." One left and one right in the family, giving birth to so many children, don't laugh at me, this is just the cost of the family, if it weren't for the emperor's attention to him, I'm really afraid I wouldn't be able to raise it. ”

Yu'er said with a smile: "Go back and take the two and send them to the palace to raise, and I will share some of them for you." ”

As the two of them were talking, they heard movement outside, but soon it was quiet, Qifujin looked at the door and asked the Queen Mother: "This is the noble Tong, the daughter of the Tong Tulai family, how can you take care of the flower garden here?" ”

Yu'er asked, "Do you remember her, you've seen her before?" ”

Qifujin said that in the past, it was also a matter of seeing the child when he was a child, but now he has seen it once in the palace during the New Year's Festival, and said that such a beautiful villain can't be forgotten at a glance.

Yu'er said: "Is it more beautiful than your daughter-in-law?" ”

Qifujin nodded again and again: "Beautiful, but ......" She thought for a while and said, "Queen Mother, do you know the Eshuo of the White Flag?" ”

Yu'er disagreed: "What's wrong?" ”

Qifujin said: "I heard that his daughter entered the second selection during the draft, but was put off the brand, and then returned to his own family, and has not received the will of the boss so far. ”

Yu'er frowned slightly: "Do other families have such a thing?" ”

Qifujin said: "There are a few, but they all took the initiative to ask the emperor for instructions and gave their daughters a place to go, and then there are all said that the daughters of the Eshuo family are very beautiful, and they are famous in Jiangnan at that time." ”

"So what?" Yu'er asked.

"This ......" Qifujin was stunned, feeling that the Queen Mother was not going well, and lowered his head and said, "Everyone outside is speculating about what the emperor means." ”

There was another movement of turning the earth outside, and Yu'er seemed to say to herself: "Yes, what does he mean by Fulin." ”

When Qifujin left Cining Palace, he saw Tong Guiren holding his sleeves and holding a small hoe in the soil in the pine flower garden, and chatted with the little palace maid who led the way when he left the palace.

From that day on, she came to Cining Palace every once in a while to play with flowers and plants, but the Queen Mother rarely saw her alone, and after she served flowers and plants every day, she retired by herself.

"Noble Tong, you haven't slept yet, have you?" Qifujin asked curiously.

The palace maid replied: "Yes, everyone thinks it's strange, Tong Guiren is much more beautiful than those people." ”

These few innocuous gossips are naturally still true, and no matter how deep they are, Qifujin doesn't dare to ask, and the little palace maid doesn't dare to answer, for example, where did the queen go.

Yuan Xi retreated from Cining Palace every day, always bypassing Kunning Palace and returning to Jingren Palace, and one day he met Ning Guiren who went out for a walk, nodded to each other, and didn't say anything.

But a few days later, Xiaoquanzi told her that the queen was under house arrest by the emperor, but only in Kunning Palace, and did not let outsiders know.

It can be said that outsiders don't know, but outsiders still know, no wonder Ning Guiren and them can go out for a walk leisurely, and they are not afraid of meeting the queen.

In the blink of an eye, halfway through February, I thought that the emperor should come back from Xiyuan Nantai, but a carriage sent back Barya Fujin and Yang Guiren, and took Ning Guiren and a few others.

Yuan Xi and Bal Ya hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they met, they heard her mention the situation in Xiyuan, only to know that the emperor was diligent day and night, so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and she and several nobles were responsible for waiting for tea and dinner.

Yesterday she accidentally coughed, and the emperor felt that they had worked hard, so he sent the person back and changed a few more.

Barya said: "The people in the palace, they must be thinking about how to sing and dance over there, right? No, the emperor calmed down and dealt with the government. ”

Yuan Xi couldn't help but praise: "The emperor is so good, diligent and loves the people, the Ming monarchs in history are like this." ”

Barya said: "It's just that Mingjun doesn't have a virtuous queen. ”

Yuan Xi reminded: "Sister? ”

Barya covered her mouth, looked around in a panic, and said softly: "Good sister, I won't say it again, it's really damn it, it's just that I really feel sorry for him when I see the emperor working so hard these days." ”

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly, she couldn't even feel distressed, she had already made a plan, and she would spend her life in the Forbidden City playing with flowers and plants.

Barya sighed: "You don't know, those noble ministers are fierce, and they speak so loudly to the emperor that my heart trembles." Several times when they left, I went to see the emperor, and the emperor would be alone for a long time, but after that, he would definitely cheer up again. ”

She covered her heart and said: "In the past, when the regent was here, although the emperor was unsatisfactory, no one dared to speak to the emperor so loudly. ”

Yuan Xi suddenly remembered one thing, after she met the emperor by chance, she watched the regent take him away, and Yuan Xi didn't recognize the emperor at that time, but she recognized the regent.

"Sister? Are you scared by me? Barya asked.

"No...... Yuan Xi came back to his senses, smiled perfunctorily, and took Barya to Cining Palace to see her newly turned soil, saying that she had sprinkled seeds.

Although the sisters talked and laughed, she was thinking in her heart, the emperor didn't like her, was it because of that incident? But since you don't like her, what did you choose her to do in the palace? Such a beautiful sister Jiayin was not chosen.

After retreating from Cining Palace on this day, Yuan Xi unconsciously walked to the road of Kunning Palace because of something on his mind, and Pomegranate couldn't help asking: "Miss, what should I do if I meet the queen?" ”

Yuan Xi came back to his senses, looked up at the quiet Kunning Palace, the gate was closed, as if no one was there, and said to Pomegranate: "Let's go, don't get in the way." ”

They passed through the Kunning Gate safely, walked to the vicinity of the Chengqian Palace, and saw the palace people hanging lanterns with ladders, Yuan Xi stopped to watch for a while, and several little eunuchs saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Yuan Xi said: "You guys come to Jingren Palace in a while, I have some snacks there, you can take them and eat them." ”

As she spoke, she walked towards Jingren Palace, only to hear Pomegranate ask behind her, "Okay, how did you change the lantern?" ”

Those little eunuchs said: "Chief Manager Wu went back to the palace today to confess, saying that it was rainy in spring, and the paper lanterns could not hold back the rain, and they were replaced with glass lamps that could withstand the wind and rain." ”

Yuan Xi stopped, and Pomegranate asked, "Why did Chief Manager Wu order it?" ”

They responded: "It has always been ordered by Chief Manager Wu, and on the first day of the first lunar month, a message was suddenly sent to find a lantern to hang, but how busy it was on New Year's Day, we didn't hang it until the night, and we were almost scolded by Chief Manager Wu, saying that he was not good at explaining to the emperor." ”

Yuan Xi turned around and looked at the people behind him, Pomegranate really realized it, and then asked, "So, this lantern was ordered by the emperor to be hung?" But there's no one living here. ”

They laughed and said: "What you said, Tong Guiren goes in and out, how can it be good to be blind in the dark?" ”

Pomegranate ran to the young lady and asked curiously, "Did you hear that?" ”

Of course Yuan Xi heard it, but what did the emperor mean?

"Give them some refreshments and pieces of silver." Yuan Xi said, turned around and walked back to Jingren Palace, and after sitting for a while, he opened the drawer of the cabinet on the kang and took out the jade wrench.

When Pomegranate entered the door and saw this scene, she sighed lightly, retreated, and sent the little eunuchs outside the door kindly. ”

"What's so strange about that? Don't you go out for the rest of your life? Pomegranate was only secretly glad that he hadn't met it.

Xiao Quanzi gasped and said, "I heard that I am going back to Horqin." ”
