In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Mingchen Hao sat behind the bright yellow bookcase, and in front of him was a stack of folds and four treasures of the study. Le-Wen

Father-in-law Su stood aside with a slight cat and waited, and the entire hall was silent.

Suddenly, Mingchen Hao's pen hand stopped, and he turned his head to look at Gong Su on the side and said, "Gong Su, what do you say he is going to the Snow Moon Hall for?"

When he heard his subordinates say back and forth that Ah Qing went to the Snow Moon Hall today, and stayed in it for almost half an hour before coming out, Mingchen Hao felt a little lost in his heart. Ah Qing can come to him if he has something, it seems that he hasn't seen him for a long time.

Gonggong Su lowered his head: "Maybe the national teacher is going to comfort the Queen Mother." ”

Who knew that Ming Chenhao smiled sarcastically: "Comfort? Hehe, that woman deserves it, even if there is no such thing, don't think that I don't know how the Xia family behind her grew up." I just turned a blind eye to Ah Qing's face, and now that the Xia family has ended up like this, it is really still the sky. ”

Father-in-law Su bowed his head and did not speak.

At this moment, a maid came in outside, and Gonggong Su saw that she was Yunyue, who was waiting close by the queen mother's side, so he didn't move forward to stop her.

Ming Chenhao obviously knew the identity of this palace maid, he stared at this maid and did not speak. In the past, that Yun Yi heard that it was because he offended that An Yun, so he disappeared. Now this one was brought up by the imperial grandmother to serve her personally.

"The slave has seen the emperor. The maid made a great salute after some distance from the bookcase.

Mingchenhao didn't ask her anything, but still looked at her lightly: "What's the matter?"

"The Queen Mother invites you to go to the Jiaolan Hall for dinner with her in a moment. ”

Mingchen Hao thought for a while and said, "When you go back to return to the imperial grandmother, you will say that when I am done with the things at hand, I will pass." The length of this hour is uncertain, if her old man is hungry, she can eat first, and there is no need to wait for me. ”

"Yes. The slave and maid retired. The maid's voice in response was full of surprise, and after she withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, she hurried to the Jiaolan Palace. But he said in his heart: During this time, the queen mother has sent her over several times, each time in vain, I never thought that the emperor agreed today, and I thought that the queen mother would be happy to hear the news for a while.

As for what the emperor said it might be later, this is not a problem, she believes that no matter how late it is, the queen mother will definitely wait for the emperor to arrive before letting people pass the meal.

It was getting late and late, and Gonggong Su saw that the dinner time had passed a lot, but the emperor on the side was still seriously reviewing the folds.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you promised the Queen Mother before, saying that you would go to Jiaolan Hall to accompany her for dinner tonight, but it is not early now." ”

Mingchenhao glanced at the sky outside the window, and sure enough, it was already pitch black.

He put down the pen in his hand, moved the muscles and bones of his whole body again, and then got up and said: "Then let's set up the Jiaolan Palace, now that she is old, don't let her go hungry." ”

Gonggong Su followed behind him, and when he heard his words, he reacted, it turned out that the emperor was deliberately cooling the queen mother.

Jiaolan Temple

The queen mother, who was waiting for Mingchen Hao's arrival, was sitting in her own place, holding her head with one hand, and was closing her eyes to recuperate.

There was no angry look on her face, she was not worried that the emperor would not come, she knew that although this Hao'er no longer listened to her now, she was a person who spoke well. He said he would come over for dinner tonight, and he would definitely come, so she wasn't in a hurry at all.

"The emperor has arrived!" came the voice of Gonggong Su at the door.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes and got up and came to the door to greet her, looking at Mingchenhao's eyes full of smiles.

was about to go forward to help him take off his cloak, but Ming Chenhao inadvertently leaned to the side, avoiding her movements: "It's just a trivial matter, why bother the imperial grandmother," after saying that, he took off the cloak and then threw it to Gonggong Su, who was following him.

walked to her side again, held her hand, and said with a guilty look: "Such a cold winter night, and making the imperial grandmother wait for a long time, is really grandchild's, grandson will help you in." ”

The original unnaturalness on the queen mother's face gradually recovered, patted his somewhat cold hand and scolded with a smile: "You also know that this winter night is cold, why don't you know how to wear more." This Father-in-law Su is really, and he doesn't even know to remind your master, now that he is wearing such a thin outfit, even his hands are blown by the cold wind, hurry in, it's not good to catch a cold after a while. After the words fell, he instructed Yun Yue, the maid who replaced Yun Yi's position before, and said: "Yun Yue, you go and bring the winter cold cloak and jacket that the mourning family made for the emperor a few days ago, and when the emperor goes back in a while, it can be used." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. Yun Yue replied in a low voice, turned around and went to get it.

When Father-in-law Su on the side heard that, he didn't speak, but just lowered his head a little lower.

Mingchen Hao smiled and said, "It's still the imperial grandmother who loves her grandson." However, let those subordinates in the palace do these things, and the imperial grandmother is now old, so she can't do these things anymore, so as not to tire her eyes. ”

"It's too late for the mourning family to be happy when you do these things for Hao'er, I just hope you don't like it when you look at it for a while. ”

"How come, as long as it is made by the emperor's grandmother, the grandson naturally likes it very much. ”

As he spoke, the two had already entered the inner hall, and when the Queen Mother heard what he said, the smile on her face became a little more real: "That's fine, then let them start passing the meal." ”

Mingchen Hao nodded, first helped the Queen Mother to sit down on top of her, and then came to the position opposite her and sat down.

After a while, I saw seven or eight maids walk in with a delicate silver plate in their hands like a fish entering the sea, put the silver plate in their hands on the table, and after lifting the lid, they went out from the other side along the front.

The more people there are, the faster the food is served.

Mingchen Hao glanced at the dishes on the table, all of which were his favorite food, and then smiled again: "Let the imperial grandmother bother." ”

"If you like to eat. Come, try this jade ginseng pork rib soup first, the imperial doctor said, now that the winter is cold, drink more soup can play a role in the maintenance of the spleen and stomach. The Queen Mother got up and personally served a bowl of soup to Mingchen Hao, and let Yunyue on the side bring it to Mingchen Hao. The so-called jade ginseng is actually white radish, which can be conducive to ventilation.

"This soup tastes really good, and the imperial grandmother has a heart. Mingchen Hao took a sip and said politely.

The smile on the queen mother's face became a little brighter, and she said while eating: "In a few days, the New Year will be celebrated." In the past, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, those women outside the palace who had orders entered the palace to accompany the mourning family to observe the New Year, this year, the mourning family wanted to come different, I don't know if the emperor might agree?"

Mingchen Hao's hand holding the silver chopsticks paused slightly, then returned to his senses, and said with a smile: "They are here to accompany the imperial grandmother to celebrate the New Year, and how the imperial grandmother wants to arrange it is naturally up to the imperial grandmother to decide." It's just that the grandson really wants to know what kind of different method the imperial grandmother wants this time. ”

"It's good that the emperor agrees, as for this arrangement, it's not different, I just want those ladies to bring the descendants of the family into the palace when they enter the palace, so that the Jiaolan Hall of the mourning family can be more lively, what does the emperor say?"

Mingchen Hao's slightly drooping eyes flickered slightly, and then nodded: "What the imperial grandmother said is that it has been the grandson's negligence all these years, and with them here this year, presumably the imperial grandmother can also be happy." ”

The Queen Mother nodded hurriedly: "Yes, thinking that I could see so many cardamom years at once that day, the young girls, the mourning family began to look forward to it." ”

"It's good that the imperial grandmother is happy. After that, Ming Chenhao put down the silver chopsticks, got up with a slight apology on his face and said: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson has already eaten well, and now it is almost a year old, and my grandson still has a number of things on hand that have not been dealt with, so I will retire first." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, but she didn't hold back, got up and sent him to the outer hall, took the cloak and jacket in Yunyue's hand, and personally draped Mingchen Hao and tied the belt.

Mingchen Hao made any of her movements, just like an obedient baby. Looking at the color and embroidery of the cloak, he praised: "The cloak is very good-looking, and it is very warm on the body, and the grandson has bothered the imperial grandmother again." ”

He looked at him lovingly and said, "If you like it, it's fine." The mourning family knows that Hao'er is an emperor who cares about the people of the world, so you are so diligent in government, and the mourning family is very happy. Remember that only a monarch who is dedicated to sharing the worries of the country and the people can sit in the position for a long time. There is a sentence that has some meaning.

Mingchen Hao nodded, turned around and left the Jiaolan Palace.

Sitting on the emperor's coffin in the palace of returning to the heart, he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

This time, the imperial grandmother proposed to let the descendants of various families enter the palace to accompany her to celebrate the New Year, and he didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

In the palace, in the first half of the night of the New Year's Celebration, he, as the emperor, also had to accompany his elders, which was no different from folk customs.

She wants to let herself be the first to see those women, if she likes them, she can pay attention to them early, and she can directly enter the final selection at the draft banquet next year.

If he doesn't fancy any of them, it is estimated that there will be no more of these women at the next draft banquet.

Now, however, he is making a different calculation. If he remembered correctly, An Yun, who was next to Ah Qing, was already more than 7 months pregnant at this time.

can take advantage of this opportunity to push out that An Yun, anyway, her identity is no secret now. He also took this opportunity to see what was different about this woman, who could make Ah Qing so loyal to her.

It's just that she has always been very closely protected by Ah Qing now, what kind of reason should he use to invite her out?

Mingchen Hao, who was contemplating, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes: By the way, Moyan Dao Temple.

"Father-in-law Su. Mingchen Hao greeted Gonggong Su, who was following next to Bu Bao.

Father-in-law Su hurriedly approached him and lowered his head: "Your Majesty." ”

"You go back and tell the Queen Mother now, since her headache in the past was cured by that An Yun, then you should reward her well, so that she can not forget to send a message to the Flue Temple when the time comes. "Being able to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to celebrate the New Year can be regarded as a supreme grace for those ladies who have a fate.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Father-in-law Su answered, turned around and ran in the direction of Jiaolan Palace.

Here, the Queen Mother waited for Father-in-law Su to leave, and then sighed leisurely, her face full of sorrow.

How could she not know what the emperor was planning at the moment, it was nothing more than to make Na An Yun ugly in front of all the ladies and ladies of the family, after all, with her current body, that stomach could not be covered.

It was said by the world before, as long as those people didn't see it with their own eyes, they could only say it. If this is seen with the eyes of those ladies who are good at long tongues, they don't know what it will be like after leaving the palace.

Hao'er is confused, such a wrong decision, if the teacher who left the country is angry, I don't know what the consequences will be.

However, what can she do? If she doesn't follow him, I'm afraid that next year's draft banquet will not even be able to choose a talented girl. That's it, she can only try to protect Na An Yun on the night of the New Year.

Within two days, the Empress Dowager asked people to go to the Moyan Dao Temple to announce a will, and Li Yan, who was waiting for Su Qingmo in the other courtyard that afternoon, had already received the news.

Seeing the news sent by Xiaoliu, Li Yan didn't react for a long time.

Turning his head to look at Ji Qingshui, who was also at a loss, he said: "You say, that old witch, what are you crazy about this time? Hasn't her headache been cured by Mo'er? Why did she still announce her to enter the palace at this juncture? Could it be that her brain is starting to go crazy again?"
