It is said that Fulin and Jiayin spent a few days of peace and tranquility in Yong'an Temple, and their feelings for each other gradually increased, and some depression and troubles in their hearts were also enlightened and relieved under the guidance of Master Tongxiu of Yulin.

The emperor strongly invited Yulin Tongxiu to stay in the capital, but the master had already made up his mind, in order to live up to the king's hospitality, he left his apprentice Xingsen in the capital, thinking that the emperor and concubine would preach the scriptures.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother decreed that the wine banquet and entertainment should be avoided, and the silver taels saved would be used to help the victims.

This was a good thing, but Fulin was restless.

He didn't know what the ministers who were in the palace to meet the Queen Mother when he and Jiayin were not in the palace said to the Queen Mother, this year's tax relief had been set a long time ago, why the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was canceled.

Although Jia Yin comforted the emperor that there was nothing to say between mother and son, but what happened between mother and son, after all, only Yu'er and Fulin themselves knew.

It wasn't until the Mid-Autumn Festival that Fu Lin mentioned that during the Double Ninth Festival in the old year, E-Niang watched a three-day play in the garden in front of Cining Palace.

Yu'er said with a smile: "I was exempted from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I went back to watch the play, the world should say that the queen mother was fake, and this year until the moon, all the joy in the palace will be free." ”

Fu Lin was stunned, and he stopped talking, his face was very entangled.

"What's wrong?" Yu'er asked, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

"E-niang...... Around October, Jia Yin and Chen Concubine will give birth one after another. Fulin said, "The little princess was born, and the palace didn't celebrate?" ”

Yu'er smiled: "I actually forgot these things, you see, if you want to save money, how can it be so easy." ”

Fu Lin asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Yu'er said: "Do it according to your wishes, the imperial concubine has a noble status, and she really can't lose her dignity." ”

Fu Lin squirmed his lips slightly, always feeling like he had begged Jia Yin in front of Eniang again, and he was still stuck with the previous things in his heart.

At this moment, one didn't hold it, and poured it out in one go: "Eniang, when I was in Yong'an Temple, you met many ministers in Cining Palace?" This year, you haven't asked about the court, why do you suddenly summon them so often? Isn't it a son, what's wrong with it? ”

Yu'er smiled faintly: "First one or two people came to invite An Dao to congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard them talk about what happened this year, and I became more and more curious. ”

"But......" Fu Lin clenched his fists, his Adam's apple rolling uneasily, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say.

"Is there a minister who criticizes me and says that I interfere in the government?" Yu'er said.

"People who can criticize are loyal to you, so why criticize them?" Fu Lin smiled bitterly, "E-Niang is too worried." ”

Yu'er noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, although her son didn't say anything, but his thoughts were already written on his face, so he said straight to the point: "Fulin, are you suspecting that I am trying to interfere in the government and win over the powerful ministers to set you up?" ”

Fu Lin tensed and shook his head stiffly: "My son doesn't dare." ”

Yu'er said: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have met my old friends when you left the palace." Next time, I will not see you again, or when you are at home, with your permission, I will invite you aside to talk and drink tea. ”

"Why would E-Niang say such a thing?" Fu Lin was anxious, and his face turned red, "That's not what my son meant?" ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I, I ......"

The hall was silent, the mother and son stared at each other, Yu'er's eyes were not angry or angry, but in Fulin's eyes, it was as majestic as the sky, and he knelt down unconsciously.

"E-Niang is angry, please E-Niang is angry."

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry, I just want to know what the emperor wants to say to me."

Outside the palace gate, Yuan Xi came with a tea tray, he didn't know that the mother and son were in conflict, I thought that Sister Jiayin's complexion was getting better and better, and her relationship with the emperor had also improved, and Fu Lin's recent mood was excellent. Who would have thought......

"E-Niang tightly snare the ministers around her, is she dissatisfied with her sons, or does she have other intentions?" The emperor's voice came out of the hall, saying words that made Yuan Xi tremble, "E-niang, is she ready to replace her son-in-law at any time?" Become your most revered Wu Zetian and be the female emperor of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yuan Xi was so frightened that his hands were weak, and all the tea trays fell to the ground, and the emperor inside was furious, and rushed out and said angrily: "Who is it?" ”

"Yes, it's a concubine...... Yuan Xi knelt down in a panic, not caring to avoid the broken porcelain, and his knees hurt.

But Fulin said to her viciously, "Get out! ”

Yu'er sat in the hall and didn't come out to relieve Yuan Xi, she heard Fu Lin's words scolding Yuan Xi, and later, her son didn't come to seek his own response, so he left.

Reflecting on Fang Cai's dialogue, Yu'er's seemingly calm words also carried a bit of provocation, Fu Lin had long since ceased to obey her control, but in fact, Yu'er had never disciplined him.

There is no doubt that in everything, she and Fulin are at fault, mother and son cannot be harmonious, and government affairs cannot be of one mind, there will be contradictions and conflicts, which is very common.

However, this is not an absolutely bad thing, at least it can keep her and Fulin sober and look at the major affairs of the court and politics from many aspects.

The Qing Dynasty has not yet stabilized, and the current national conditions can be a little more proud than the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and compared with each other, thousands of miles away from the heyday of the Ming Dynasty.

But she ignored her son's feelings, and she didn't expect that seeing a few old friends in what she thought was ordinary would actually anger Fulin's sensitive and fragile nerves.

Nature...... She also admitted that she was already planning how to cultivate an heir for Fu Lin, but she never thought of replacing Fu Lin, she just hoped that her grandchildren would be more promising.

"Concubine Tong?"

"Mother, are you alright?"

The voices of the palace maids came from outside the door, Yu'er got up, and saw them supporting Yuan Xi, blood oozed from Yuan Xi's skirt robe, and she knelt straight on the broken porcelain just now.

"Let's go back." Yu'er said, "Forget everything you heard, don't mention a word again." These days, you don't have to come to Cining Palace, recuperate in your house, when will you be fine, and when will you come to see me again. ”

Yuan Xi owed her body to receive her life, and was helped away by the palace maids, her knees hurt so much that she couldn't walk, and finally took a soft sedan chair and sent Yuan Xi back.

Outside the imperial city, under the sunset, Xuan Ye was in the courtyard, blindly playing a set of punches, which still provoked pomegranates and nurses to applaud.

Su Mala beckoned the third elder brother to come over, wiped away his sweat, and asked gently, "What does the third elder brother do when he practices martial arts?" ”

"Protect Eniang, Imperial Grandmother, and Mama, Pomegranate, and Nurse, and Grandma......" The little guy counted carefully, and he was confused as he counted, "And Aunt Barya, who else is there......"

Everyone laughed and scrambled to ask the third elder brother if he would protect them, and when they were talking and laughing, there was someone in the palace.

As soon as Su Mala saw the face of the visitor, he guessed that it was not good, and when he heard that the mother and son had turned their faces, he immediately decided to go back to the palace.

"Mama......" Xuan Ye saw that Su Mala was leaving, ran to pull the hem of her clothes, and asked in a milky voice, "Mama is back to the palace?" ”

"Third elder brother, the slave will come back early tomorrow morning." Su Mala squatted down and said gently, "The third elder brother can't go back with the slave maid. ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were red, and he snorted, "Xuan Ye misses his mother." ”

Su Mala said: "The slave will tell the mother, the third elder brother is good." ”

She was ruthless, ordered Pomegranate to take Xuan Ye away, and hurried back to the Forbidden City on horseback.

When he returned, there was really silence in the Cining Palace, and Su Mala didn't want to rush in to see Gege in a hurry, so he went to change his clothes, washed off the dust, and then came with a cup of ginseng tea.

Yu'er was in the study, flipping through the scriptures that Jiayin had copied in Yong'an Temple a few days ago.

This child's handwriting is extremely beautiful, with a woman's unique grace and gentleness, the words are like her person, Dong Ejiayin is a beautiful woman, and being her daughter-in-law is a blessing for Fulin, and it is also her blessing.

"How did you get back?" Seeing Su Mala's hand put down the teacup, Yu'er knew who it was without looking up, and when she raised her head again, she saw Su Mala smiling gently.

"The slave suddenly missed you so much, so she came back." Su Mala said, "Do you have a heart?" ”

Yu'er brought tea to drink, and said angrily: "Which one wants to have a heart with you?" ”

After drinking tea, I looked out the window, it was already dark, it was so late, no one dared to ask the Queen Mother, if she wanted to pass the meal, I was afraid that the stove in the imperial dining room was still burning, and it was strange to toss people.

"I'm hungry." Yu'er said, "But the food in the imperial dining room is not delicious, you can get me some food." ”

Su Mala smiled: "They are doing it, the slave and maid teach it by hand, and they can't be wrong." The slave misses you so much that she doesn't want to leave for a moment. ”

Yu'er looked at her, smiled helplessly, and then sighed again: "Su Mala, let's go back to Shengjing." ”
