Xuan Ye stretched out his hand over the chessboard and shook hands with Shu Shu: "We will spend a hard life together, under the glory, there is forbearance and helplessness, and it is an ordeal that ordinary people can't know and experience." Shu Shu, can you understand my words? ”

Shu Shu nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, the concubines understand." ”

Xuan Ye's eyes were Shu Shu's gentle and solemn smiles, and each other's eyes seemed to be connected to each other's hearts.

He smiled at Shu Shu, but with his other hand, he suddenly picked up the chess pieces and gently placed them on the chessboard: "I won." ”

Shu Shu was stunned for a moment, quickly looked down at the chessboard, pouted unconsciously, and raised his eyes to look at the emperor: "Trick." ”

Xuan Ye leaned on the mat with a big grin: "If you want to win, you can afford to lose, it's a big deal, I don't ask you to ask for something." ”

Shu Shu leisurely sorted out the chessboard, and there was the arrogance of a noble daughter in his eyes: "If you are willing to lose the bet, the emperor can do whatever he wants, as long as the concubine can give it." ”

Xuan Ye propped his head in one hand, looked at Shu Shu and said, "I don't lack anything, I can't think of it for a while, and when I think of it, I'll tell you." ”

"But......" Shu Shu put the chess pieces into the chess box, but when the words came to his mouth, he stopped again.

"What?" Xuan Ye was curious.

"Everything about the concubines is given by the emperor, even if it is from the family, it is also given by the emperor." Shu Shu said, "The emperor must think of something, which is something that the concubine herself can give you." ”

Xuan Ye didn't think twice: "Isn't that you?" ”

Shu Shu blushed, and after looking at Xuan Ye seriously, he went to the cabinet with the chess box in his hand, Xuan Ye observed his words and looks, realized that Shu Shu was unhappy, and got up and said, "Did I say something ridiculous?" ”

"Yes......" Shu Shu replied frankly, lowering his cheeks, "Your Majesty, don't say such things easily in the future, if you get used to it, it's not worth anything." You're joking now, what about in the future? ”

Xuan Ye promised: "I know, I will compensate you." ”

Shu Shu hurriedly shook his head: "That's not going to pay for it." ”

Xuan Ye said: "Don't tell the imperial grandmother, I don't want to be scolded." ”

Shu Shu smiled like a flower: "I must not say it." ”

But the emperor took her hand: "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, let's go and see, I will tell you which flowers were planted by Eniang." ”

In Cining Palace, the four auxiliary ministers and the princes and princes filled the hall, and Yu'er looked at Sony, who was pale and thin to only a handful of bones, and felt faintly uneasy.

As soon as Sony leaves, how can he stop worshipping?

Indulge him and buy time for Xuan Ye to grow up and become stronger, lest he hurt the hearts of loyal ministers and the people, and he is even more afraid of angering his clan relatives and making them think that Xuan Ye and himself are incompetent and want to replace him.

If you confront Aobai head-on, you are afraid of a bloody storm, and the result will be too dismal, and it will become Xuan Ye's incompetence, which will also threaten the imperial power.

"The Empress Dowager, the emperor is still young, and after the pro-government, the heavy pressure on the court may not be conducive to the growth of the emperor. The first emperor was fourteen years old, and if he was in power earlier than the first emperor, he was afraid that the world would criticize the emperor for his unfilial piety. What Kubilong said was naturally the meaning of Aobai, and Aobai was fixed on the side like a stone sculpture without saying a word.

Sonny coughed lightly, and said in a weak breath: "Back then, Dolgon's power was leaning towards the government and the opposition, and he was the only one, if he hadn't been killed by accident, the first emperor might not have been able to govern at the age of fourteen, and he might not be able to rule the world at the age of sixteen or eighteen." It can be seen that age does not mean anything, in contrast, the bearing and wisdom shown by the young emperor today have long been better than the blue. The old minister thought that the emperor had the ability to pro-government. ”

Ao Bai said quietly: "Lord Sony, you haven't been to the court for a long time, where did you see that the emperor has the ability to pro-government?" ”

I didn't expect Ao Bai to say this, Sony was rarely choked, but this is normal, the emperor's road to pro-government must be obstructed a lot, if Ao Bai is not hindered or hindered, it is worth strange panic.

Sonny smiled and asked rhetorically: "Does Lord Ao think that the emperor is not worthy?" ”

Ao Bai sneered: "Lord Suo, you can't talk nonsense, the Empress Dowager is here, do you want to trap me in injustice?" ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "What's wrong with you, it's only April day, and it's getting hot?" If you have something to say, discuss things, and reason, I will listen to them. ”

Ao Bai got up and clenched his fists, and his voice was like a drum: "The Empress Dowager, the minister thinks that it is too early for the emperor to be in power, but when the minister says this, he must call some traitors and villains to criticize the ministers for trying to control the government." The minister's loyalty to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty can be seen from the sun and the moon, the empress dowager, the emperor's pro-government affairs, I hope you will think twice. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Sonny suddenly coughed violently, and the eunuchs and palace ladies quickly came to serve.

Su Mala ordered someone to send Master Suo to the side hall to rest, Yu'er glanced at her, and Su Mala took the opportunity to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time for the Empress Dowager to worship the Buddha is almost up, do you want to leave the palace first, or wait for the Empress Dowager to worship the Buddha before discussing?" ”

Knowing that it was time for them to go, everyone got up to say goodbye, but when Ao Bai was about to leave, Yu'er asked him to stay.

"We opened up." Yu'er and amiable, "Lord Ao, do you think the emperor is not suitable for pro-government, what is missing?" ”

Ao Bai was unceremoniously: "The Empress Dowager, with all due respect, the emperor is still a child, and you still have to worry about everything now." Although everyone says that the emperor is smart and has the air of an emperor, but the emperor grew up under the favor of you and the queen, in your opinion, the emperor's mind must be stronger than the previous emperor? ”

Yu'er was silent and looked at Ao Bai calmly.

Ao Bai continued: "What the minister said is a great disrespect to the first emperor, but it is also a fact. If the empress dowager does not want the emperor to follow in the footsteps of the emperor, she hopes that after the emperor has more experience and growth, she will invite the emperor to rule the world. Before that, the ministers must do their best, for the empress dowager and the emperor, to protect the Qing Dynasty. ”

"You're right, I'll think about it." Yu'er said, "But you also listen to my advice, don't target Sony everywhere, he doesn't have many days left, and all he asks is to do more for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty when he is alive." ”

Ao Bai said coldly: "Empress Dowager, I'm afraid that Lord Suo thinks that after he dies, the ministers will cover the sky with one hand and harm the interests of the Hesheri family." He wanted to use the emperor's pro-government to get rid of the ministers, and what he thought and thought was not for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, but for his own selfish interests. ”

Yu'er smiled: "You are angry, I won't persuade you." As for the emperor's pro-government, I will take what you say to heart, and in three days, you will come to Cining Palace to make a decision. ”

Ao bowed and bowed, bowed and retreated, only waiting for him to leave Cining Palace, Su Mala came to invite Yu'er, Sony was in the side hall, and Yu'er wanted to see him.

"The Empress Dowager ......" Sonny saw Yu'er, so she struggled to get up, Yu'er ordered him to sit down, and said, "Don't toss, I just hope that you will live one more day." ”

"The emperor's pro-government matter, the minister expected that it would not go well, but this matter was put forward, so that there could be a follow-up." Sonny said, "There is an uproar today, please forgive the Empress Dowager." ”

"You are dedicated to Xuan Ye, I blame you for what you do." Yu'er sighed, "Although Ao Bai has selfish intentions, what he said is also reasonable, and we can't help but consider it carefully." ”

"Yes." Sonny replied, "In the future, the only way to do this is to rely on the Empress Dowager to support everything for the emperor, if the minister dies, it will be difficult for someone to say these words again, so no matter what, the minister must bring it up before he dies." ”

Yu'er said: "You calm down, don't get excited, Xuan Ye will be pro-government sooner or later, and Ao Bai can't be obstructed all the time, even if you can't see it alive, after Xuan Ye is pro-government, I will let him go to your grave to sacrifice a glass of wine." ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be."

"Sony, I'm glad I did." Yu'er said with a smile, "The relationship between Xuan Ye and Shu Shu is getting better and better, there is a lot of discussion in case of trouble, Shu Shu, this child is calm and calm, and she is cute and lively, she will definitely become the greatest queen of the Qing Dynasty in the future, you can rest assured, this granddaughter, I will take care of it for you." ”

Sonny looked at the Empress Dowager with grateful, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I'm afraid that the old minister will no longer have the strength to enter the palace, the Empress Dowager, can you allow the minister to go to Kunning Palace to meet the empress?" ”

"Su Mala, you go and report." Yu'er immediately agreed.

Outside the imperial garden, Shu Shu and Xuan Ye enjoyed the flowers, and when they got the news that their grandfather had come to Kunning Palace to meet them, they hurriedly separated from the emperor.

Coincidentally, Ling Zhao happened to return from Ningshou Palace, and from a long distance, she saw the queen and the emperor together, and she saw more clearly that the queen's hand was taken from the emperor's hand, and they were holding hands before they separated.

However, Xuan Ye didn't see Ling Zhao at all, and after separating from Shu Shu, he went straight to the study, and when Ling Zhao walked here, the emperor and queen had already disappeared.

"Miss?" Dongyun helped Ling Zhao and said, "Do you want the slave to inquire about something?" ”

Ling Zhao shook his head and slowly walked into the imperial garden, walking towards the flowers and plants planted by Empress Xiaokang.

"Miss?" Dongyun felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Do you think that in the future, will I always be alone to enjoy the flowers?" Ling Zhao's hand trembled and stretched out to the flower, but he didn't dare to pick it after all, and muttered to himself, "He must have forgotten, he must have forgotten." ”

"The emperor, the emperor is still young." Dongyun said, "Miss, you're thinking too much. ”

Ling Zhao smiled bitterly: "Did I think too much, you will know in the future, everyone in this Forbidden City is biased towards Kunning Palace." It's my bad luck that I entered the palace with her, even if I came back in three years, it wouldn't be the current situation. In this life, I can only be her foil forever. ”

"But the emperor treats you very well." Dongyun persuaded, "Weren't you quite happy before?" ”

Ling Zhao turned around and walked out: "I hid it in my heart, but everyone forgot about it." ”

In Kunning Palace, Shu Shu saw his grandfather, Sony wanted to bow to the queen, Shu Shu said with tears: "Grandpa, I understand it, please don't make me sad, I understand the meaning of this worship, I really understand." ”

Sonny trembled and held her granddaughter's hand and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry about the old minister, take care." For major events of the family and country, there is no mistake with the Queen Mother, please take care of yourself. ”
