The master and servant returned to Cining Palace, Yatu just came back, she went to visit Qifujin outside the palace, the weather is getting warmer, but Qifujin's health is getting worse.

Yu'er is very sad, people of the same age and generation are leaving one by one.

"I don't recognize anyone anymore." "They're preparing for the aftermath of Zhang Luo." ”

"In the future, there will be no one who can speak, I don't like to take care of people when I am young, and I am afraid of loneliness when I am old." Yu'er said, "I can only pretend that I love Qingjing." ”

"You can't be busy right now, I'm in front of you, I can't say a few words a day, that's what Rili Wanji said." Yatu hugged her mother and said with a smile, "It's better to be busy, and your days are full." ”

"Next month, Fulin's aftermath will be done, you should go back early, it's hard to walk on the road when it's hot." Yu'er said, "I want you to be by my side, but now that you have your own home, children and husband, you will also be a mother-in-law and a grandmother in the future, and your mother can't trip you." ”

"Why do you talk about grandmother, your eldest grandson doesn't like girls, and no one wants to marry him." Yatu smiled and said, "How old am I to be my grandmother?" ”

Yu'er said: "At that time, I was the youngest in the Shengjing Palace, and even if there were a few new arrivals later, they were not a few years younger than me. I always feel like I had a lot of time, and now that I think about it, I really wasted it. ”

Yatu said, "If you are wasted, will others live?" ”

Yu'er shook her head: "That's not the reason, so E-Niang wants you to go back early and be with your family." ”

Yatu understood her mother's intentions and finally agreed: "I know, I'll go back next month." ”

It is the eighteenth day of the month, it is Xuan Ye's birthday, this child has not had a birthday since he was born, and now that he is the emperor, his birthday has become a birthday festival, and everyone will rush to congratulate the emperor.

But not long after the death of Emperor Daxing, although Xuan Ye has been relieved, he still attaches importance to filial piety, and on this day, he bowed to his grandmother and grandmother, and his biological mother, even if his birthday has passed.

Yu'er feels sorry for her grandson, she knows how to be patient and thoughtful at a young age, but Yuan Xi said to Yu'er that Xuan Ye has never been sad about not being able to pass his birthday, and this child doesn't like to worry about these things, such a personality is really rare.

Yu'er felt more and more that Xuan Ye was better than Fu Lin in all aspects, and his childhood had clearly experienced so many twists and turns, and even walking through the ghost gate did not affect his mind.

He is cheerful and lively, filial to his elders, and friendly to his brothers, Su Mala said that she did not really bother to teach in the days when she accompanied the third elder brother outside the palace. On the contrary, my aunt taught Fulin very hard, but Fulin failed to grow into what they expected.

It was God who kept the Qing Dynasty, it was the hope of the Aixin Jueluo family, and it was also a slap in the face to Yu'er.

She self-righteously decided that Dorgon was not suitable to be the emperor, but in the end, she pushed her son, who was even more unsuitable to be the emperor, and forcibly sat on the dragon chair for eighteen years.

In this life, how many detours do you have to take in order to find the right direction, Yu'er only hopes that when she is alive, she can escort Xuan Ye as much as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was the season when the flowers were in full bloom in the Forbidden City, and on April 17, Emperor Shizuzhang was cremated in Jingshan and moved to Zunhua Ma Lanyu for burial.

The tedious and solemn funeral lasted for several days, and Xuan Ye returned from Zunhua and came to greet his grandmother.

Xuan Ye and Fu Quan went out for a trip, and when they came back, they were tanned, and Yu'er asked them to go back to rest earlier, but before they finished speaking, there was an eight-hundred-mile rush from the south, and Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan from the Dutch.

Yu'er ordered Su Mala to arrange for several ministers to come to see her, but when she turned around, she saw that Xuan Ye was still in front of the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "My grandson is in Wuying Palace, and I heard them mention Zheng Chenggong, and I knew that Zheng Chenggong went to fight Taiwan." ”

Yu'er looked at her grandson in surprise: "Do you remember all these things?" ”

Xuan Ye nodded and asked his grandmother solemnly: "Several ministers have discussed, is it to move the boundary and ban the sea, grandmother of the emperor, what is the relocation of the border and the forbidden sea?" ”

Yu'er said: "In this matter, they also mentioned to me that in order to prevent the inland people from uniting with Zheng Chenggong's forces, they should implement a sea ban, and move the people in the coastal areas of Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to the interior for 30 to 50 miles, respectively, and no ship or person will be allowed to go to sea without authorization in the future." ”

Xuan Ye asked, "Can't the foreigners go ashore again?" ”

Yu'er responded: "It depends on the situation after that before making a decision, Xuanye, what's wrong?" ”

Xuan Ye said regretfully: "If that's the case, a person like Grandpa Tang can't come to Daqing, and he can't bring Western fresh things, but I like the Western clock in Qianqing Palace." ”

Yu'er said patiently: "The ministers decided to ban the sea after a lot of considerations, naturally they have their reasons, not a word or two from the imperial grandmother, who can explain it to you clearly." But if the door is closed, it can be opened again, and in the future, if the national conditions are different, you can open the door again. ”

Xuan Ye nodded again and again: "Imperial grandmother, in the future, I will persuade Zheng Chenggong to surrender and let Taiwan be included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty." When I grow up, Zheng Chenggong will be old. ”

Yu'er smiled: "It's good that you have great ambitions, but the imperial grandmother hopes that you can learn to pretend to be stupid and don't let the minister see through your mind." If there are ten sentences, it would be good to say seven to them, and three more for them to figure out for themselves. The ministers are trying to figure out the holy will on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must guard against being preempted by others, and only by letting the ministers have competition and checks and balances, can you really control them. ”

Xuan Ye felt that these words were not easy to understand, and looked at her grandmother in embarrassment, Yu'er said patiently: "Next time, we will talk about it in detail, you are tired, go back and rest first." ”

"Yes." Xuan Ye agreed, but when he walked to the door, he retreated and said to his grandmother, "E-niang wants to live in Jingshan for two days, just two days." ”

Yu'er bowed: "I've been approved, don't worry, in a few days, someone will be sent to take your mother back to the palace." ”

Two days later, Yatu came to Jingshan to take Yuan Xi back to the palace on behalf of his mother, and when he came, he happened to meet Yuan Xi standing on the observation deck, looking at the Forbidden City from afar.

"I'm going back to Horqin." Yatu said, "I'll leave the day after tomorrow, I don't know when I'll come back, I want to take you back to the palace to get together." ”

"So urgent?" Yuan Xi said, "Why doesn't the eldest princess accompany the Empress Dowager more?" ”

"I also have children, and a lot of things that I can't put down, and I have to raise horses for Xuanye." Yatu smiled, "Don't you think that when I leave, you have to go to Cining Palace to serve Eniang again, aren't you happy?" ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "It is said that it is to serve the Empress Dowager, but all along, it is actually the Empress Dowager who has been passing the time for us to relieve boredom." Otherwise, for so many years, every day has been the same, and it would have been boring. As for the work of serving tea and water, some palace maids do it. ”

Yuan Xi's gaze slowly returned to the sky above the Forbidden City: "Eldest princess, stand here and look, the Forbidden City is really big, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never been to many places." ”

"The Shengjing Palace is very small, and when I was younger than Xuan Ye, I walked all over the corners." Yatu said while pointing to the palace, "Looking at it this way, Jingren Palace is really the closest to Qianqing Palace." ”

Yuan Xi bowed: "It was the intention of the first emperor back then." ”

Yatu said: "At that time, Ama promised E-Niang that after arriving in Beijing, except for the Middle Palace, E-Niang could choose any place to be her dormitory. At that time, we already had the drawings of the Forbidden City, guess what? ”

Yuan Xi couldn't guess, Yatu said: "E-Niang didn't look at the drawings at all, so she said that she wanted to choose the closest place to Amma." ”

"The nearest place?" Yuan Xi muttered.

"Actually, Fulin, very much like Eniang." Yatu said, "It's just that the temperament of a woman is placed on a man's body, and it will look different, but they are really biological mothers and sons, and in this life, they have fallen into a love word." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "But I don't think, Fulin loves Dong Ejiayin, why should he love a woman, so much so that she can't be tolerated by the world?" ”

Yatu smiled and asked, "What about you?" Yuan Xi, what do you love about Fulin? ”

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded, avoiding the gaze of the eldest sister-in-law: "I can't say it." ”

Yatu said: "Unconditional love is eternal, and it will not change because he is old, poor, and depressed. ”

Yuan Xi burst into tears: "But I'm not reconciled, the love between him and Dong Ejiayin is not worth ......."
