However, Shu Shu has a heart for Xuan Ye, not necessarily powerful, and her grandfather is seriously ill, which means that she will soon lose her most powerful protection.

Although Ama is alive and well, he is the eldest son of the eldest family who will inherit the family business in the future, but Shu Shu can almost foresee the future of the family, which is bound to become a plate of scattered sand after the death of his grandfather.

Ama is mediocre and upright, the third uncle is shrewd and tricky, and the grandmother is eccentric......

Shu Shu sat back on the beauty couch and closed her eyes, she was not qualified yet, she was sad for the emperor's sadness, and for now, she should think about her own affairs first.

Soon after, the pomegranate really returned, pinching the hours of nearly midnight, to serve the queen to go to the Fengxian Palace.

After the ceremony, Yu'er told Shu Shu and Ling Zhao to go back to rest earlier, but Ling Zhao suddenly asked: "Empress Dowager, tomorrow is the life taboo of Empress Xiaokang, can the concubines do anything for Empress Xiaokang?" ”

Yu'er said: "You don't have to do anything, just keep it in your heart, when she was alive, she didn't be extravagant on her birthday, she wasn't there, and she couldn't toss." ”

Ling Zhao felt slightly embarrassed and responded timidly.

Shu Shu glanced at Lingzhao, whether she really cared about the emperor, or just to be a filial daughter-in-law in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, it was difficult to guess.

Yu'er didn't want the two children to send her back to Cining Palace, and also sent the Empress Dowager back to Ningshou Palace early, Shu Shu returned to the dormitory, and saw that the Qianqing Palace was still brightly lit, and she asked Pomegranate: "Does the emperor not sleep on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"Sleep, it's just ......," Pomegranate lowered her eyes, "After the death of Empress Xiaokang, the emperor will keep an hour alone for his mother on Chinese New Year's Eve night." ”

"Auntie, if Concubine Fang asked just now, in fact, I want to ask too." Shu Shu said frankly, "Although I can't do it, I also want to do something for Eniang." ”

Pomegranate's tears fell in large pieces, and she had to turn her back to wipe them.

The queen has always called Miss Eniang in front of her, and she called Eniang affectionately and warmly, but Miss never had the opportunity to listen to it with her own ears.

"Auntie?" Shu Shu asked guiltily, "Did I make you sad?" ”

"No, no, Niangniang, how could it be......" Pomegranate calmed down, sniffed and said, "The slave is happy for Queen Xiaokang." ”

Shu Shu handed his handkerchief to Pomegranate: "Then can I do something?" ”

Although Pomegranate was full of gratitude and relief, she understood that no matter what the queen did, she could not erase the emperor's sadness, and if it was self-defeating and did bad things with good intentions, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of the two children.

"The slave said something that shouldn't be said, Niangniang, the Queen Mother gave the best answer, that is, to put it in her heart." Pomegranate said, "If you really put it in your heart, you will unconsciously reveal it from your words and deeds, rather than deliberately showing it, what do you say?" ”

Shu Shu bowed, as she thought, she is not qualified to share the emperor's thoughts now: "That's the reason, I'm young." ”

"You're already amazing." Pomegranate said, "It's so amazing that it hurts." ”

Shu Shuwaner: "What do you do when you feel sorry for me?" I'm the queen, the most honorable person in the world, what's there to feel sorry for? ”

Pomegranate asked, "Then do you feel sorry for the Empress Dowager?" Do you feel sorry for the emperor? ”

Shu Shu was suddenly asked, revealing the side of a child: "It's still my aunt who is amazing, I just think I'm smart." ”

An hour later, the lights of the Qianqing Palace were really extinguished.

But at this moment, there was still light in the bedroom of Yikun Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids came to look at it several times, only to see Lingzhao sitting behind the table, holding a letter in his hand, his face full of confusion.

Only Dong Yun knew that when the old man came to give a gift in the new year, he explained one thing to the young lady, she had a bad time all year, and she was full of troubles about it, saying that the old man lion opened his mouth, which was crazy.

However, Dongyun didn't know what it was, and he wasn't sure.

"Miss, it's late, the lights in the Qianqing Palace are out." Dongyun couldn't help but say, "If you don't sleep during the New Year, people outside don't dare to sleep." ”

Ling Zhao came back to his senses and crumpled the letter paper in his hand: "Sleep, let's sleep." ”

Although New Year's Day is the birth of Yuan Xi, there is also the death day and birthday of Fulin, which should be a day of solemn mourning and worship.

But the first month is the beginning of the year, and the new monarch is established, Yu'er has already planned to gradually dilute the weight of these days.

Mourning and mourning, the royal family should have a new atmosphere, it should be festive and prosperous, and the Shunzhi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty has already turned the page.

After the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, Yu'er promised Shu Shu to allow her to go home to visit Sony, but this matter could not be done in a dignified manner, so a carriage and the guards secretly followed and protected, and Shu Shu was sent back to her parents' house.

The family was surprised and delighted when they suddenly saw the queen returning, but Shu Shu said steadily: "Don't make a show, I'll go back to the palace when I sit down, are there any relatives at home?" Go ahead, and don't alarm them. ”

Mrs. Sonny took her granddaughter to her husband's bedside and said happily, "Sir, look, who's back?" ”

Sony, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Shu Shu, the corners of his mouth immediately rose: "Niangniang, are you here?" ”

"Grandpa, are you safe?" Shu Shu said, "Have you taken the tonic I sent?" ”

Sonny stretched out his hand to his granddaughter with relief: "Shushu, sit closer and let grandpa take a good look." ”

"You grandfather and grandson are talking, I'll go to the small stove to see how the medicine is decoctioned." Mrs. Sonny stepped back with a wink.

Shu Shu saw his grandmother leave, and looked back and smiled at Sony: "Grandpa, do you miss me?" ”

Sonny squinted his eyes and looked at his child intently, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes: "Shu Shu, grandpa is sorry for you, this old bone, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”

The tip of Shu Shu's nose was sore, and he held back his sadness: "Grandpa, if you take my tonic, you will definitely be fine, don't think nonsense." ”

Sonny said: "Before grandpa dies, there is one thing that must be realized, we must support the emperor's pro-government, only the emperor's pro-government, the Qing Dynasty can have hope, otherwise, worship that ...... Ahem......"

"Don't get excited." Seeing that his grandfather was talking about the excitement and coughed violently, Shu Shu hurriedly gave him relief, "You speak slowly." ”

Sonny breathed heavily: "Even if it's not for anyone, just for my granddaughter." ”

Shu Shu couldn't help but reddened his eyes: "Don't say it, I don't like to hear it." ”

Sonny said: "Shu Shu, after grandpa leaves, you remember, don't let your third uncle be at the mercy of you, let alone do bad things to give people a handle." People, a lifetime of frankness and openness, can be truly comfortable. ”

Shu Shu smiled bitterly: "These truths have always been to persuade good people to be good, and worship such people, is he not at ease?" Show your grandson that he is very comfortable. ”

Sonny gasped and laughed, patting the back of his granddaughter's hand: "Only when there is righteousness in the world can it survive." Take Aobai as an example, is he really comfortable? At least that kind of 'comfort', our ancestors and grandchildren don't look down on it at all, not to mention that he lives with his head every day. ”

Shu Shu put a pillow on his grandfather's back and said with a smile: "You're right, your grandson wrote it down." ”

Sonny said: "Go back and tell the emperor that in a few days, I will go to the fold and ask the emperor to govern himself." ”

Shu Shu's eyes trembled slightly, and he asked his grandfather, "Can I say it directly to the emperor?" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, you know it, and ......"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that his granddaughter wanted to stop talking, Sony became worried, "Did you have a conflict with the emperor?" ”

Shu Shu shook his head: "The emperor treats me very well, he is gentle and generous." But grandpa, I don't want to look at it in front of the emperor, he has already said that I am not like a twelve-year-old girl, I look like an adult, and it is boring. ”

Sonny couldn't help frowning: "The emperor said it himself? ”

Shu Shu said: "It's not blame, it's not a quarrel, I chatted with the emperor occasionally and mentioned it in passing." ”

"Then you see, what does the emperor mean?" Sony was cautious, "It doesn't matter if it's annoying or not, there's a big difference here." ”

Shu Shu smiled: "Grandpa, if I knew, what would I ask you to do?" ”

Sonny was stunned, and immediately laughed, but his vitality was greatly damaged, and he even bothered to laugh, and then slowed down for a while before he spoke again: "Between monarchs and ministers, we have to figure out each other's thoughts, but between husband and wife, this is not necessary." Shu Shu, grandpa is not good, you shouldn't be asked to pass the word, husband and wife are husband and wife, and monarchs and ministers are monarchs and ministers. This matter of pro-government, you put it in your heart first, anyway, in a few days, the emperor will know. ”

"Yes."

"Then again, does the emperor mean to be pro-government?" Sony asked.

Shu Shu was silent, and after a moment, the grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other and smiled.

Sony knows that there are some things that his granddaughter can no longer say to him, but if he can't say it, it means that the relationship between the emperor and the queen is getting better and better, which is more important than anything else.

Soon after, Mrs. Sonny brought a decoction, and Shu Shu waited for her grandfather to drink the medicine, and it was time for her to return to the palace.

"Take care, Grandpa." Shu Shu endured reluctance, resigned from her grandfather, she promised the Queen Mother, this is the last time.

Back in the Forbidden City, Shu Shu changed his clothes and was about to go to Cining Palace to resume his life, but before his clothes were dressed, someone came in outside the door, saying that the emperor had arrived.

Xuan Ye paced around the screen, and asked through the screen, "Is Sony feeling better?" ”

"Grandfather is safe." Shu Shu said, "Thanks to the blessing of the emperor and the empress dowager." ”

Xuan Ye paused, as if he was in a hurry: "Haven't you dressed yet?" ”

The palace maids retreated one after another, and Xuan Ye strode in: "Sony's body is really good?" ”

Shu Shu shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not getting better, just the concubine ...... it."

Xuan Ye motioned to Shu Shu not to explain: "I know. ”

Shu Shu said: "If the emperor has nothing else to do, the concubine will go to Cining Palace." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it's the imperial grandmother who agrees with you." Xuan Ye said, "You didn't run out by yourself. ”

"The concubine promised the imperial grandmother, this is the last time." Shu Shu said, "But the concubine didn't tell my grandfather, Your Majesty, if you have the opportunity to see your grandfather again, please don't tell him." ”

"If anything happens to your grandfather, worship him......" Xuan Ye sat down, sighing at a young age, "It's just the beginning of the year, and he has tossed it, and he has to exchange land with two white flags in the name of me." ”

Shu Shu didn't speak, turned around silently, smoothed his clothes, but Xuan Ye's voice came from behind: "You must be very sad in your heart." ”

"Yes." Shu Shu turned around and said frankly, "For the concubine, she is the closest relative, and she is leaving." ”
