Ling Zhao was undecided about traveling with Hu, and she didn't have a so-called "sister" in the palace, and she couldn't discuss it with Dong Yun.

The next day, she came out of Ningshou Palace and met Su Mala's grandmother, but Lingzhao had something in her heart and didn't look at the road, until Su Mala saluted in front of her, she suddenly woke up.

"Mama is here?" Ling Zhao blamed himself, "I'm really, I don't know what I'm thinking, I didn't even see Mama, Mama, don't be surprised." ”

Su Mala smiled: "It should have been a slave maid who came to ask for peace from the mother." ”

Ling Zhao said: "Mama, please, the Queen Mother is playing chess with Concubine Shu." ”

She politely accompanied Su Mala in, and after talking for a while, she withdrew together.

Su Mala saw that Ling Zhao was still preoccupied, so he said: "The slave dares to ask, what is the mother thinking about so distractedly?" ”

"Don't hide it from Mama, I do have something on my mind." Lingzhao's ability to govern the palace was mostly taught by Su Mala, although Cining Palace and Kunning Palace were closer, but Su Mala unreservedly passed on all the experience she had accumulated for many years to herself.

Ling Zhao has always respected Mama as an elder, and when he mentioned it at this moment, he said frankly: "I can't make up my mind about the queen's mother asking me to go to Shengjing with me." ”

Su Mala smiled: "Niangniang must not be able to let go of the affairs in the palace?" ”

Ling Zhao smiled: "Mama, don't laugh at me for being too self-righteous, as if I can't leave this palace without me, but I can't leave the things in the palace, and then there is half a year to be the birthday of the Queen Mother, I really don't dare to delay." ”

Su Mala said: "Concubine Shu is still healthy, Concubine Ning is also a smart person, the masters above leave the palace, and there are only a few mouths left in the Forbidden City to eat, it's not a big deal." As for the Empress Dowager's birthday, isn't there still more than half a year? ”

Ling Zhao's face was full of entanglement: "Mama said yes, but I ......"

Su Mala smiled: "The slave and maid ask a lot, Niangniang, don't think about anything else, do you want to go?" ”

Ling Zhao's cheeks were slightly red: "I want to go." ”

Su Mala said gently: "Then go, with you all the way, the Queen Mother will be happy." ”

"Mama......" Ling Zhao was very uneasy, "Can I really go?" ”

Su Mala said: "The slave maid will instruct the Internal Affairs Office to prepare the carriage and horses of the mother." ”

Ling Zhao was afraid that if she said a few more polite words, people would say forget it, but she really wanted to go, she wanted to go to the outside world with the emperor to take a look and follow the path that Xuan Ye had walked.

Su Mala returned to Cining Palace with this matter, Yu'er was copying scriptures in the study, and after listening to Su Mala's chatter, she raised her head and said: "This child loves to hesitate, which makes people feel distressed and annoyed that she is not transparent." ”

"Who is perfect, if you can learn to be obedient and no longer entangled with the family, you should be more painful." Su Mala said with a smile, "Where to find such a capable and cautious child, the emperor now knows how to cherish it, and he is no longer as impetuous as he was earlier." ”

Yu'er put down her pen and said, "Is she worried that if she goes, it will make the queen feel uncomfortable and doubt the queen's true intention of inviting her?" ”

Su Mala said: "The slave and maid can't guess. ”

Yu'er came over to wash her hands and said with a smile: "She underestimates Shu Shu too much, even if everyone goes with her, Shu Shu is willing, she can act as if everyone doesn't exist, even you and me." ”

Su Mala said angrily: "Is this eating the vinegar of the granddaughter-in-law?" ”

Yu'er sighed heavily: "The days are getting closer and closer, after half a lifetime, what is Shengjing like now?" The plants and trees in his mausoleum have all grown into towering trees. ”

Su Mala comforted her: "If you promise the emperor to go, you will go happily, but don't change your hexagram temporarily." ”

Yu'er smiled bitterly: "You still know me, I hesitate every day, don't forget it." ”

Fortunately, everything went well, Yu'er's hesitant mind dragged on until the day before departure, and she didn't have to open her mouth if she wanted to, and now the money was spent, how much manpower and material resources were spent, if she was disappointed at the moment, it would be too undignified.

On the day of travel, the mighty guard of honor is ready to go, and the carriages and horses are lined up from the Taihe Gate to the Qianqing Gate.

Xuan Ye came to serve his grandmother and grandmother to board the car, Shu Shu hugged the second elder brother and the Queen Mother, and Xuan Ye went to the Queen Mother's side, and Ling Zhao was waiting on one side.

"You rarely go out, and you're afraid you'll faint when you ride in the car." After the Queen Mother got into the car, Xuan Ye called out to Lingzhao and handed her a sachet, "If you faint and smell it, it will be more comfortable." ”

Ling Zhao held the sachet blankly, and Xuan Ye said, "Get in the car quickly, and set off immediately." ”

The emperor had already left with someone, and Ling Zhao was still holding the sachet in a daze, and was caught up by Dongyun and a few people and sent into the carriage.

The golden whip opened the way, resounding through the Forbidden City, Ling Zhao, who was sitting in the carriage, held the sachet in her hand, as if in a dream, she really traveled with the car, and the emperor specially sent her a sachet for motion sickness.

Walking and stopping along the way, going back the way she came in the past, Yu'er couldn't remember the situation back then, except for teasing Chenghu and playing, she hardly talked much.

Later, Shu Shu took the noisy child back to her carriage, and Yu'er was completely quiet, she kept looking out of the car in a daze, and even she didn't know what she was thinking.

Twelve days later, the holy car arrived in Shengjing, the old prince and the officials of Shengjing lined up outside the city to wait, this is the first time since the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, arrived in Shengjing, and it is also the first time that the empress dowager has returned after nearly 30 years of absence.

Luan drove directly into the Ten Kings Pavilion, after Xuan Ye got out of the car, he came to serve his grandmother first, Yu'er held her grandson's hand, got off the carriage step by step, looked up, and couldn't help but say: "What...... It's all getting smaller? ”

In my memory, how open it was in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion, Huang Taiji ordered troops and generals here, congratulated every New Year's Day, and Yatu and Attu ran wildly.

But when you raise your head again, even the Phoenix Tower, which was once high above, is no longer so majestic and majestic.

It's just that the Forbidden City is too grand and too majestic.

Xuan Ye helped Yu'er forward and said, "Imperial grandmother, you live in Qingning Palace, Huang Eniang lives in Yonghe Palace, and Concubine Zhao lives in Yanqing Palace, do you think it's good?" ”

Yu'er smiled and asked, "What about Shu Shu?" ”

Xuan Ye said: "The queen follows me and lives in the Phoenix Building, and there are several rooms in the Phoenix Building. ”

Yu'er sneered: "Qingning Palace is where the main palace lives, let Shu Shu live in Qingning Palace, you are traveling with your concubine, and only take the queen with you, is this appropriate?" ”

Xuan Ye had nothing to say to his grandmother: "Sun Er is thinking, Guan Ju Palace is not suitable for anyone to live, and Linzhi Palace is only afraid of living in the diaphragm in his heart, so he ......"

Yu'er bowed her head: "You are busy, our mother and son will discuss it on their own, and we will stay for a total of ten days, it is important for the emperor to do serious things, you are not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

Xuan Ye didn't dare to joke: "Grandson knows." ”

At this moment, the Queen Mother got out of the carriage, Shu Shu and Lingzhao also followed, they had never seen the appearance of the Shengjing Palace, but they had only heard the old ladies from Shengjing in the palace describe the scene here.

Knowing that the Shengjing Palace was small, I didn't dare to think that it was so small.

"You can imagine how amazing the Han people are." Yu'er said to the children, "They built such a magnificent palace more than 200 years ago, and Shengjing has land, but we don't have the ability." ”

Yu'er exempted the prince's ministers from saluting, and said that she would wait for tomorrow's tomb to meet everyone.

Standing downstairs in Phoenix, Yu'er clenched her fists tightly to control her emotions.

Su Mala said to the children on the side: "The Queen Mother, you take the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhao, go in first, the Queen Mother wants to stay alone for a while." ”

Shu Shu responded first, looked at Lingzhao, understood each other, and then helped the Queen Mother to take Chenghu and climb the stairs.

The palace maids and eunuchs all followed in one after another, and hundreds of people disappeared from here, and the surroundings suddenly opened up again.

"Su Mala, I want to go to the study to see, do you remember the way?" Yu'er asked.

"Remember, slave and maid will take you." With tears in her eyes, Su Mala helped Gege to walk to the study, brick by brick, evoking all the memories, as if she could see the once young and bright figure on the road.

The furnishings in the study are still the same as when they left thirty years ago, the place where they used to stay every day, even where the tables, chairs and bookshelves are placed, Su Mala can remember it with her eyes closed, and as soon as she enters the door, she sighs: "It's hard for them, everything remains the same." ”

Yu'er walked around the room, looked at her seat, and saw the scene of coquettish frolicking with Huang Taiji in the past.

At that time, he was not old, and she was as delicate as a flower.

Su Mala Ping retreated from the palace maid who was going to serve, put down the tea, walked to open the window, Yu'er looked back, and the sound of the mountain calling long live came from the Chongzheng Palace, just like every morning back then.

But the current emperor is Xuan Ye, a good grandson who Huang Taiji failed to look at.

"Su Mala......" Yu'er burst into tears, "I miss him so much." ”
