The moment the queen held her wrist, Ling Zhao couldn't help but tremble, but she tried her best to hold back, and she didn't withdraw her hand until she was far away from the Qianqing Palace, and she couldn't hear the sound of worship, and the queen naturally let go.

Although Shu Shu let go, she still smiled, saying that there was a banquet in the palace before, and she secretly thought in her heart, I don't know what she will do with these things in the future, and whether she will embarrass the Empress Dowager, but she didn't expect to come so soon.

"We must give the imperial grandmother a long face." Shu Shu said with a smile as he walked, "Let outsiders know that not only can the emperor be in power, but we can also be independent." ”

Ling Zhao pursed her lips and nodded, her heart was full of entanglements, her ears seemed to be wrapped around the big voice of Aobai, and then looking at the queen's light figure and happy smile, the tip of her nose was sour for no reason, and she stopped.

Shu Shu just turned around, and when he saw her like this, he walked back a few steps and asked, "Uncomfortable?" Dizzy? ”

Ling Zhao's eyes were red, tears were shining, his chin was almost on the neckline, and he snorted: "Niangniang, are you afraid of worshipping?" ”

Shu Shu replied without thinking: "Of course I'm afraid, he is so tall and loud, you can hear his voice across the Jiaotai Palace." My palace maids all stood outside the door with their ears covered, and later Pomegranate was afraid that they would be afraid, so she gave them new shifts, so that they didn't have to stand there every day and be afraid. ”

Ling Zhao listened, unconsciously raised her head, she saw melancholy on the queen's face, but her heart was a little more steady: "Niangniang, the concubine is his daughter-in-law, but this is not the concubine's willingness, that day the concubine was suddenly called to the front hall, Ama He forced the concubine to kowtow to Ao Bai to recognize his father, so many people stared, the concubine was really ......"

Shu Shu felt a little compassionate, although she was also burdened with the family, everything she encountered was a hundred times stronger than the Niu Hulu clan.

Ling Zhao choked up and said: "On the day the concubine fell ill, he said a lot of unbearable words to the concubine outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, asking the mother to forgive the sin, the concubine is really difficult to speak, and he can't tell you what he said." “

Shu Shu smiled: "I didn't plan to ask you, it's good that you're well." As for Ao Shaobao, he is a person who has contributed to the Qing Dynasty, and we are afraid of him, probably the same as we are afraid of the majestic gods and heavenly generals in the temple. ”

"Mother's ......"

"If Ao Shaobao is disrespectful to you, it is his sin, but the matter is big, it is related to the government, and the emperor should still worry about the affairs of the court."

Ling Zhao lowered his eyes: "Yes." ”

Shu Shu said gently: "Let's hide our fears, just talk to each other, and don't show them to outsiders." The next time you go to the Qianqing Palace, you will pass behind the Jiaotai Palace, and you will not meet the minister. Even if you have to meet Ao Shaobao again, since he is disrespectful to you, don't be polite, ignore him, walk in front of him with his head held high, I don't believe he dares to do anything to you. ”

Ling Zhao pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "The concubine listens to you." ”

Shu Shuwaner: "Let's pass the past, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August 15 can't afford to delay, I'm so nervous now that I'm out of breath." ”

Ling Zhao said: "When the concubine was at home, she helped her mother organize several family banquets, although it can't be compared with the big banquet in the palace, but she also knows some things. ”

Shu Shu naturally had such an experience, but he was not a serious learner, but he was just helping Eniang and his grandmother, but at the moment he just smiled and said with a sigh of relief: "Oh, I have a bottom in my heart, don't tell the imperial grandmother and Su Mala for a while that you have done it, let's hide it quietly." ”

The queen's affectionate words, like true sisters, Ling Zhao was happy and uneasy in her heart, thinking that she was really useless, she had been in the palace for two years, and she still didn't know anything about the emperor and the empress.

After that, I sat in Cining Palace for most of the day, and about the palace banquet, the people of the Internal Affairs Office went back and forth countless times, or displayed the utensils for the ladies and ladies to see, or compared the past menus, or introduced what is fashionable all over the country at the moment.

Later, the Queen Mother couldn't sit still, and begged for mercy: "Huang Eniang, I feel dizzy when I hear it." ”

Yu'er said angrily: "Look at it, the daughters-in-law are listening with their eyes wide open and their ears pricked up, so you are lazy." ”

The Queen Mother got up and said with a smile: "Erchen is a blessed life, and you can't stop it." ”

Yu'er said angrily: "When you were a child, your skin was not so thick. ”

But as he spoke, he still instructed everyone: "It's okay today, they can't remember it all of a sudden, and Lingzhao is in good health, so be more leisurely." Lingzhao, you and the queen mother go back, rest early, and come over with the queen tomorrow, you Su Mala is itching. ”

The Empress Dowager took Ling Zhao away from Cining Palace, she has always loved Ling Zhao, and she is also the only person in the Forbidden City who can say a few words in the Forbidden City in the two years since Ling Zhao entered the palace, and the only favor she earned for herself.

When the Queen Mother learned what she said to the queen, she smiled and said: "That's how it should be, the queen is a kind and cheerful person, since she calls you sister, she really treats you as a sister." But in fact, I have never heard her call your sister, so it can be seen that the queen can distinguish what is noble in front of people and what is intimate in the future. If you fall on both sides, you'll have to weigh a few points, at least that's what I think. ”

"Queen Mother, is the concubine really qualified to be sisters with the Queen Mother?"

"Your mother-in-law and I are sisters." Speaking of Yuan Xi, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, thinking of Yuan Xi's goodness, and wanting to try my best to enlighten her daughter-in-law, the Queen Mother said: "Of course, there is a first come, first come, she must be closer to Barya Fujin, but we are the same without saying anything." She respects me, is willing to be close to me, and takes care of everything for me. ”

Ling Zhao bowed: "The concubine has also heard of it at home, Empress Xiaokang is like a sister to you." ”

"Child, you have to be happy, don't force yourself to scare yourself every day, it's not that I said, anyone in this palace is kinder than your mother's family." The Queen Mother said.

"Yes, even if she is a mother-in-law, she is afraid of Ama and does not dare to speak for her concubines, not to mention that she is soft-spoken." Ling Zhao said sadly, "The others, let alone mention. ”

The Queen Mother gently patted the back of Lingzhao's hand: "You are now the imperial concubine, and in front of your family, you must also have the dignity and dignity of the imperial concubine, don't worry about the past things, you have to let yourself go." Lingzhao, get along with the queen and the emperor in the future, this is the life you want to live in this life. I can't say persuasive words, and I can't use my brains, but I've lived in the Forbidden City for so many years. ”

Ling Zhao burst into tears and was grateful: "Queen Mother, the concubine must listen to you." ”

The Queen Mother stopped and lovingly wiped the tears from the corners of Ling Zhao's eyes: "Don't cry, you look so good when you smile, but you always cry to the emperor, how can it be?" ”

But the more this was the case, the more Ling Zhao couldn't help but be wronged, the Queen Mother couldn't cry or laugh, and took her back to Ningshou Palace, knowing that she ordered someone to send Ling Zhao back in the evening.

And Shu Shu's side, after returning from Cining Palace, he was dizzy after listening to trivial matters for a long time, and he was too lazy to do anything for a while, so he fell on the couch and said to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously.

After a sweet sleep, when he woke up, he saw the emperor reading a book on the side, Shu Shu rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was still in a dream, but Xuan Ye sat at the end and rubbed the soles of her feet with his feet: "Awake?" ”

"It was the emperor who woke me up." Shu Shu stretched his muscles lazily, and deliberately complained, "It's not good to go where to read, come here." ”

Xuan Ye hooked his hand: "Come here, sit with me for a while." ”

Shu Shu crawled over slowly, and fell into Xuan Ye's arms, Xuan Ye stroked her head lightly, and said angrily: "It's like a kitten." ”

"The emperor is not in a bad mood." Shu Shu raised his head and looked at Xuan Ye, "Something happy?" ”

"Nothing happy, that's all." Xuan Ye said, "But there are a few new things to do, which are quite interesting." ”

The two nested together, Shu Shu took Xuan Ye's book and turned two pages, and said, "I saw this book in my grandfather's study." ”

"Sonny used to be the emperor's grandmother's husband, and the books in his study are only afraid that they are not less than the books in the inner palace." Xuan Ye said, "In the future, if there is a chance, I will go home with you to save my relatives, and you will take me to see your grandfather's study." ”

But when he turned around, he saw Shu Shu folding his fingers and holding his head high to calculate something, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shu Shu smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, grandpa is the husband of the Empress Dowager, and with such a generational count, the emperor should call me an aunt." ”

"Auntie?" Xuan Ye sat up, forced Shu Shu into the corner, and raised his thick eyebrows, "You want to call your aunt, right?" ”
