Rong Chang was drinking, and when he suddenly heard this, he didn't dare to laugh, and if he didn't laugh, he couldn't bear it, so he choked on the wine for a while, and coughed continuously while holding his handkerchief.

Li didn't know how thick the sky was, pulled her and smiled: "Sister, I'm not wrong, isn't it like that?" ”

Their movement here attracted Concubine Zhao's sideways, and although the Li family did not dare to make another time, he muttered unconvincingly in his mouth: "If you don't talk and laugh at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, do you still cry?" ”

The imperial dining room came to present the meal, Su Mala put the dish in front of Yu'er, took a chopstick and sent it to her bowl, and said softly: "Young man, be lively, don't be angry, the slave will send someone to remind you." ”

Yu'er said: "Young people should be lively, you don't have to remind them, you look at Xuan Ye and Shu Shu, they didn't raise their eyelids." ”

Su Mala said softly: "Ao Bai suddenly didn't come, the emperor and Niangniang are calculating in their hearts." ”

Yu'er chewed the delicious food in her mouth slowly, her eyes wandered to the empty seat, all kinds of delicacies were almost piled up, and there were palace maids on the other tables who took down the plates one by one, and they were stunned to worship the seats.

"Is that what Shu Shu meant?" Yu'er asked Su Mala.

"Exactly, Niangniang said that even if Lord Ao does not attend, he cannot be missed, which is the dignity that a hero of the Qing Dynasty should have." Su Mala replied, "But...... Don't you think it's strange to watch? ”

Yu'er said: "They want the princes and ministers to see that the emperor's grace is mighty, but some people don't pay attention to it." ”

Su Mala said cautiously: "I'm afraid that someone will say something ugly, and ask Ao Bai to make a fuss." ”

Yu'er smiled leisurely: "Then let's do it, is it possible that he can't even eat when he is old, and wants Xuan Ye to feed him in one bite?" ”

At this time, Da Li Zi came to report that the firearms battalion and the fire prevention squad were all ready, and asked the Empress Dowager and the emperor to move to watch the fireworks.

Yu'er said happily: "Then hurry up, I want to blow the wind after eating." ”

Everyone gathered around the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to watch the fireworks outside the hall, which was also very particular about the position of the outside standing, Rong Chang was humble in their status, and they must not stand in a row with the Empress Dowager, even if they were concubines, they should take a few steps back.

But Concubine Hui relied on her mother's family, so she squeezed out of Concubine Zhao's position, and supported the Queen Mother affectionately on the side.

Although Ling Zhao was angry, he would not be angry on such an occasion, and stood aside in a reluctant voice.

However, the enthusiasm for watching the fireworks is gone, not to mention that all this prosperity is carefully arranged by the queen, and for her, it is a threat and a frustration.

"Concubine Zhao." Da Lizi suddenly came up from behind and said softly, "Niangniang, the emperor invites you to come over." ”

Ling Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked at the emperor, and Xuan Ye actually beckoned to her.

The light of the fireworks illuminated the emperor's eyebrows, and seeing his mildness with a smile, Lingzhao's heart turned over and over, and he actually had the urge to cry.

She was pushed over by Dong Yun in a daze, and Xuan Ye said, "You are short, you can't see when you stand there, come here." ”

Ling Zhao looked at it again, Fang Cai was sandwiched between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and the Hui Concubine and the Queen Mother were on the other side of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.

Now it is the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother side by side, and the Queen Mother is still supporting the Queen Mother, but on the other side of her is the Emperor, and the other side of the Emperor is empty.

I don't know when or why, but the emperor is willing to leave the other side to her.

Ling Zhao settled down and stood next to Xuan Ye, but in her eyes, she could no longer see the fireworks, and all she saw in her eyes was the emperor's smile.

Xuan Ye looked at her inadvertently, the two looked at each other, and he said angrily: "What do you see, the fireworks are almost over." ”

This was the happiest Chinese New Year's Eve that Ling Zhao had spent in so many years, because he was afraid of the empress's ability and worried that he might no longer be needed, all disappeared with a bang.

At the end of the fireworks, Shu Shu said to Ling Zhao: "The people of this firearms battalion and the fire prevention squad are really difficult to deal with, they are all iron-faced and selfless, for this fireworks, how many times they toss back and forth, they will ask the emperor for an order, but they may not be able to nod." I don't know how you got to that trip, but you're so good-tempered that I don't want to deal with them anymore. ”

Ling Zhao was in a very good mood: "What Niangniang said is that in their eyes, a little spark can cause a big disaster, and they are extremely cautious and difficult to deal with." ”

Yu'er saw that these two children were decent and sensible, and then looked at the mother's family around the Queen Mother, she was very helpless, and even the Queen Mother saw it in her eyes and knew that Yu'er was angry.

After the New Year's Eve Tujili, the Queen Mother endured it for two days and didn't say anything until the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, when she called Hui Concubine to her.

The queen mother will not scold people with her head and face, and she has never spoken loudly in her life, but she just persuaded Hui Concubine to be self-respecting, and she cannot encroach on the dignity of the queen concubine, don't think that if the queen mother doesn't say anything, she can't see anything.

Who knew that Hui Concubine cried and cried: "I have sealed a concubine, not even a concubine, I want to call me a dwarf, if I am on an equal footing with Niu Hulu, what will happen to me standing there?" ”

The Queen Mother was speechless, but Gao Wa was more powerful, and said: "Niangniang, you know best in your heart that the Queen Mother can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime, and the living example is right in front of you." ”

Hui Concubine left Ningshou Palace with a belly of fire, and met a few people who often came to ask the Queen Mother for peace on the way, Li is a person who swaggers everywhere, twittering and joking, so that Hui Concubine heard it and was even more annoyed, and rushed forward to scold: "What are you laughing at?" ”

In Cining Palace, Shu Shu was teaching Yu'er to play chess, and after a game of chess, Yu'er sighed that she was getting older, and learning things was getting slower and slower, saying that when she was young, she also had the ability to never forget.

Shu Shu said: "The imperial grandmother will definitely be able to learn and win the emperor's last game when she turns around." ”

Yu'er smiled: "Can't you win against Xuan Ye?" ”

Shu Shu said: "Grandmother Huang, next time you can talk about the emperor for your grandson?" Every time the emperor won me, he laughed at his grandson's bad name, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became. ”

Yu'er laughed badly: "Xuanye, this kid, will bully people." ”

Shu Shu said: "The emperor never let me, and I am not happy to play chess with him." ”

Yu'er said: "It's not, what's the point of always losing, but Xuanye just ate you, and now I'm not even lazy to coax." ”

Shu Shu blushed: "Imperial grandmother, what do you say." ”

I saw Su Mala coming from outside the door, put a pillow on the back of Yu'er's waist, helped clean up the chessboard, and said leisurely: "In this New Year's month, I don't know where Concubine Hui is angry, and she punished Nalan Changzai and Li Changzai to kneel in the snow, saying that the sun can only get up when the sun sets." It's windy now, how can they kneel on the wind-piercing palace road. ”

"Where, no one cares?" Shu Shu asked, "What did they do wrong?" ”

Su Mala said: "Not far outside Ningshou Palace, I heard that Concubine Zhao happened to pass by, and after asking, Concubine Hui said that Li Chang was giggling at their Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and asked Concubine Zhao if she didn't care." I don't know what she said in the end, Concubine Zhao left, leaving a few people kneeling there. ”

Shu Shu glanced out the window: "It's not yet noon, kneel until the sun sets, they should freeze to death." ”

Yu'er said coldly: "What are you doing here to disturb us, can't you call the shots, relying on her to mess around?" ”

Su Mala hung his head and was silent, and Shu Shu saw that the Empress Dowager was angry, and she also stood up.

She knew very well in her heart that she had long noticed that Mama Wang, who was responsible for serving and raising Hui Gege in Zhongcui Palace, was unreliable, but she ordered Pomegranate not to ask. In the past three years, the mother-in-law has pulled Huige into crooked little by little, Shu Shu knows that he is an executioner who "kills" without seeing blood.

"Imperial grandmother, grandson will take care of this matter." Shu Shu said, "You dissipate your anger, and your grandchildren will see Hui Concubine more in the future and tell her the truth of how to behave in the world." ”

Yu'er didn't say anything, and after Shu Shu saluted, she retreated.

Su Mala sent the queen to the door, asked the queen to be careful about the snow and slippery roads, and when she came back, she saw Ge Gewu fiddling with the chess made of crystal stones, and said leisurely: "Our emperor and queen are so compatible." ”

"What do you mean ......"

"They are all ruthless masters." Yu'er smiled bitterly, "Sonny gave birth to a good granddaughter. ”

Su Mala was worried: "Queen Mother, isn't it good?" ”

Yu'er shook her head: "How good, it's appropriate to put it anywhere, this is Xuan Ye's blessing." The only thing to worry about is whether she can curb the expansion of the family in the future, after all, with such a glorious queen, who can bear it. ”

Su Mala smiled: "The Tong family has an emperor's grandson, aren't they honest?" ”

Yu'er said angrily: "What has Tong Tianxian been taught to look like, and he is still honest?" ”

In this compartment, Shu Shu sat in a warm sedan chair and came to the place where Nalan and Li and others were punished and knelt, the north wind was howling on the long street, and they were staggering to support each other.

"The Queen's Mother......"

"What do you often cry about in the first month?" Pomegranate spoke first, "Don't stop yet." ”

Shu Shu walked forward slowly, and saw the Nalan clan kneeling on the side, the people who laughed at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that day were the Li clan and the Ma Jia clan, and the Nalan clan was obviously innocently implicated, but she knelt quietly and looked extremely honest.

"Get up." Shu Shu said gently, "You don't have to kneel. ”
