No matter how stupid Yuan Xi is, she understands, the Queen Mother wants to help her get the emperor's heart back, it is said that the Queen Mother really doesn't have to do this, after all, there is still the Queen of the Main Palace.

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother." Those who are happy and grateful immediately salute and give thanks.

"Call you stupid, really stupid." Yu'er reproached softly, "You forgot, what's in this Cining Palace?" ”

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, yes, there is the emperor's eyeliner here, but I am afraid that if there are strange words in the past, the emperor will misunderstand her.

But after thinking about it again, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, she really wants to say to Fulin: Your Majesty, don't forget me.

In this way, early the next morning, the queen went to Cining Palace to accompany the queen mother for dinner.

Counting the generations of her mother's family, the queen wants to call the queen mother aunt, as if because she is separated by generations, and she is not Wu Keshan's daughter, Yu'er treats the queen differently. really treats it as its own child, compared to Meng Guqing, he is much more affectionate, and easy-going and natural.

The queen also believed Concubine Tong's words, the queen mother always blamed her because she didn't hate her, but she really wanted to cultivate her well and let her stand in the middle palace.

On this day, Fu Lin dispersed the court and discussed coastal defense with several military ministers for a long time.

When Yu'er heard this, she told the queen and Yuan Xi that the former Ming Shui Division was an incomparably powerful naval fleet, and the Dutch, Portuguese, and British were all defeated under them.

The coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty was once invincible in the world, but with the weakening of the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer in the past, and now the remaining strength is also in the hands of the Southern Ming regime, and the Qing Dynasty's own naval fleet has to be built almost from scratch.

The queen said: "Eniang, Erchen doesn't understand the government and military, but Erchen knows that reducing the use of the harem, opening up sources and reducing expenditure, can save a lot of silver taels for the emperor, if you can use that silver to build an army, it is the creation of Erchen and the harem." ”

"Don't coax me with your bare mouth." Yu'er said with relief, "We have to do it and improve it little by little, we haven't reached the time when we can really enjoy it." The former Ming Dynasty left us a country full of holes, and there were various forces entrenched in the south to confront each other. ”

The queen said yes, turned her head and asked Yuan Xi: "You are the daughter of the general's family, can you talk to the emperor about these words?" ”

Yuan Xi bowed and said with a smile: "Back to Niangniang's words, when the emperor goes to Jingren Palace, the concubines are just serving tea and gossiping." ”

Yu'er knew that Yuan Xi's mouth was tight, even if she had the heart to talk to the queen, she wouldn't talk about those boudoir whispers.

And she wants to put herself and the queen aside, which is different from those concubines who were scolded in the past in order not to be punished.

However, even if Yuan Xi is unintentional, others will think that she is taking Xuan Ye to the Middle Palace, so as to ask for the favor of the third elder brother and plan for the future. Although Yu'er understands that Yuan Xi doesn't have this intention, who knows when the emperor will have a whim, he will let the queen conceive the dragonborn.

Once the queen gives birth to the prince, when the time comes, whether she wants it or not, Yuan Xi's position will not stand, and whether she can retreat with Xuan Ye depends on her creation.

Yu'er instructed Su Mala: "Send someone to tell the emperor that I, the queen and Concubine Tong are going to live in Xiyuan Nantai for two days, where the autumn colors are the most beautiful, and I want to go and see that it is going to be winter." ”

When the news reached the Qianqing Palace, Fu Lin had just dispersed with several military ministers, and was changing his clothes to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace, when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked Wu Liangfu: "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

Wu Liangfu said: "Listening to the words, there is nothing unhappy, it seems that he wants to go around on a whim." ”

In fact, Wu Liangfu understood what the emperor meant, and he was weak-hearted.

Since the draft, Dong E, who favors Xianfu Palace, may not be noticed by others, but when people are charming and pleasant, the queen mother must know that what the emperor actually likes is not Yue Chang, but the shadow of Dong Ejiayin on Yue Chang's body.

This is how unspeakable it is, if one day outsiders find out that the dignified emperor loves a woman, and he loves secretly, and even takes a stand-in to comfort, it will be a great shame for the heavenly family.

"Are they jealous of the Queen Mother?" Fu Lin asked Wu Liangfu.

"The slave really doesn't know, Your Majesty, you, you go by yourself, so you will naturally understand." Wu Liangfu didn't want to take any responsibility, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The empress dowager is now openly allowed to lead the thirteen yamen with the emperor's favor, who knows how many pairs of eyes have been sent to stare at him secretly, Wu Liangfu doesn't want to die, his good life has just begun.

Fu Lin said angrily: "Useless things. ”

He walked out of the door, suddenly stopped and asked, "Are they all still in Cining Palace?" ”

Wu Liangfu said: "If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother and Concubine Tong are here, and it seems that Yue Changzai and a few others have also been called." ”

Fu Lin felt uncomfortable, E-Niang still intervened in the end, who he liked or didn't like, whether he could help himself, what Meng Guqing said at the beginning was good, he, the emperor, was really a wretch.

The problem is that he is closer to a newcomer, doesn't he want Yuan Xi, and doesn't he ignore the queen? There is nothing at all.

But Fulin came to Cining Palace with a full stomach of unhappiness, but here it was a harmonious smile, Yu'er saw the emperor, and said: "Since the emperor is here, let's have lunch together, it's rare to have a complete today." ”

Fu Lin didn't understand in his heart, and glanced at Wu Liangfu, who was also confused.

So he could only bite the bullet and serve his mother for dinner, he and the queen sat at the same table with his mother, Balya and Yuan Xi were serving Bucai on the side, and Concubine Chen, Concubine Ning and Yue Changzai were all on the table on the side.

"Last time, I said that I was going hunting, but it didn't work out, so I prepared a lot of outfits for going out here." Yu'er smiled at Fu Lin and said, "I want to go out for a walk, Xiyuan is not far away, the emperor will come over to take a look if he thinks of me, and tell me to stay there for a few more days." ”

Fu Lin said: "Erchen will go over together and serve you." ”

Yu'er smiled: "There is the queen and Concubine Tong, and Barya to serve me, which is more comfortable than you." ”

She turned sideways and said to a few people on the table next to her: "Don't eat it, I won't take you there, some of you have been there, and you know that it is not as spacious as the palace, so this time you will stay in the palace and serve the emperor well, and then go with me next time." ”

Everyone got up to receive the order, and Yu'er said by the way: "The emperor is young and diligent day and night, you must be more considerate and advised, don't blindly coax and obey, it is not beneficial to the emperor's body." ”

"Yes......" Although everyone responded in their mouths, they all muttered in their hearts, what kind of wind is blowing in this Cining Palace today?

Yu'er said: "You are all the emperor's pillow people, although you are bound by the three outlines and five constants, but between your family and relatives, you should tell the truth." If the emperor has a bad temper and bullies you, I am still here. ”

Fu Lin sneered: "Dare to love the mother was sued by them to support them?" ”

Yu'er said good-naturedly: "Otherwise, you will be bullied one by one, the emperor must take care of his body, although the state affairs are heavy, how can he bear without a good body, they are all timid, where do they dare to say you." ”

Fu Lin got up to salute, but was pressed by Yu'er, and said gently: "The family is eating, you see that I am serious again, and I will make you uncomfortable." Eat it, the food is cold. ”

This lunch, eating well, was so comfortable, I came with a little resentment, but I didn't expect things to be completely different from what he thought, although I was also curious and wanted to study my mother's intentions, but a ball of harmony, what's not good.

His mother didn't deliberately target Dong E's family, and treated her like everyone else, which was even more comfortable, even if it wasn't a reproach, but a special treatment on the contrary, it would make him wonder if his mother did it on purpose.

"Good students prepare carriages and horses for Eniang." On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Fu Lin instructed Wu Liangfu to say, "Hurry up and let people go to Xiyuan to do something, and then organize two opera troupes to send them, and it is most comfortable to listen to the drama across the water in autumn." ”

However, in Cining Palace, after the young children dispersed, the smile disappeared from Yu'er's face, she didn't want to interfere with the emperor's sole favor Yue Chang, although she had the intention to get back some favor for Yuan Xi, but this was all dispensable, and it was not the focus of her trip to Xiyuan this time.

"Gege, those people, the slave will leave them behind." Su Mala walked up to her and said softly, "It's just that it will be too deliberate to make the emperor suspicious?" ”

"He was suspicious of me all the time." Yu'er said coldly, "I don't do anything, the result is the same, how do you know that there is no one with him there." ”

"But ......"

"Let's do it first, apart for a while, I want to listen to the affairs of the court." Yu'er said, "You can't let him go, and he is also reckless in government affairs." ”

Su Mala had no choice but to obey orders.

Yu'er commanded again: "Shuosai is dying, Ye Bushu and Bogol will definitely go to visit and send someone to keep an eye on them, I want to know what their brothers say in the end." ”
