Huo Cheng and Qiu Jin accompanied Shu Mei around the Jiqing Palace, and told her one by one what the emperor personally instructed the Inner Government Bureau to replace and what arrangements were made yesterday. Shu Mei couldn't see the bad things about these replaced objects, but he felt that being able to live in the place where Ling Li's brother was born and raised would be extremely happy and satisfied.

"What is this?"

Shu Mei suddenly pointed to a pillar beam in the main hall and asked, Qiu Jin took a closer look, and found that there were scratches on the pillar, and immediately said: "Xu is careless in the Inner Government Bureau, I didn't see the scratches on this pillar, and I asked someone to repaint it when I turned around." ”

Huo Cheng said: "Niangniang, this is the trace left by His Majesty's height measurement when he was a child. Every year on His Majesty's birthday, the Empress Dowager will order someone to carve a mark here. Well, the bottom one was carved when His Majesty was six years old, and this one was carved when His Majesty was ten years old. ”

Shu Mei stroked the notches on the pillar beams, and said in surprise: "It turns out that Brother Ling Li is so tall at the age of ten?" ”

Hearing Shu Mei's address to Ling Li, Huo Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty likes to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, and he grows fast. The old slave still remembers that on His Majesty's birthday when he was ten years old, Uncle Guo presented His Majesty with a Xuantie Dragon Scale Gun of more than 50 catties, and His Majesty was able to pick it up......"

"Where's that Darkiron Dragon Scale Spear?" Shu Mei was curious for a moment.

"When His Majesty left the palace, he took it to the Autumn Pavilion. If the mother wants to see it, the old slave will go back to report to His Majesty and go to the Autumn Pavilion to get it. ”

"What is Huo Diantou going to the Qiu Di Pavilion to pick up?"

A laugh sounded behind him, Shu Mei turned around, and saw Dong Yuejiao, who was wearing a red brocade jacket with a hundred butterflies and five phoenixes hanging beads, walked in from outside the hall with a group of palace maids.

"I've seen Concubine Xian, Niangniang Jin'an." Huo Cheng and Qiu Jin hurriedly bowed down to say goodbye.

"Sister Dong is good." Shu Mei also hurriedly folded his sleeves and saluted.

Dong Yuejiao hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Don't, don't, don't, don't, the mother salutes the concubine, the concubine can't stand it." ”

"Sister Dong laughed." Hearing Dong Yuejiao call herself "Niangniang", Shu Mei said embarrassedly.

"Where's the joke?! Although Niangniang was named Concubine Mu other than the four concubines, it sounds like the rank is not as high as the concubines, but Niangniang stayed in the Funing Hall last night, which is a treatment that only queens can enjoy. ”

Shu Mei was stunned when he heard this: Staying in Funing Hall is the treatment of the queen?!

"It seems that Your Majesty wants to canonize Niangniang as the queen. The concubine heard about it today, so she hurried over to meet the future queen mother. After that, Dong Yuejiao actually knelt down towards Shu Mei.

"Sister Dong, don't be like this." Shu Mei panicked and hurriedly helped her, "Sister Dong has served Your Majesty for many years, and she has worked hard, but the concubine was rude, so she didn't take the initiative to go to Yanqing Palace to see her sister, and begged her sister for forgiveness." ”

"I'm just taking care of this big empty garden in the harem for Your Majesty, how can I have a sister who works hard to serve Your Majesty?" Dong Yuejiao raised her eyebrows and asked, but she didn't wait for Shu Mei to answer and smiled: "We are still sisters after all." Now that my sister is newly married to His Majesty, I am afraid that my sister's body will not be able to withstand it, so I specially asked people to pick up some nourishing things and send them over. ”

"Concubine Mu, this is the best Nansha ginseng that our mother selected for you, which is the most nourishing yin and nourishing qi." Qing Yu bowed down and presented a brocade box.

Shu Mei's face turned red instantly.

Seeing Shu Mei's reaction, Dong Yuejiao leaned closer, and said with her lips close to her ear: "Your Majesty is a tiger and wolf who doesn't know the severity, but my whole body fell apart back then, and I couldn't get out of bed for several days, so my sister has to take care of herself." ”

Shu's eyebrows stiffened, and he was stunned.

After Dong Yuejiao left, Shu Mei lazily leaned on the Yunjin leaning in the dormitory, looking at the box of Nansha ginseng on the table, stunned.

For some reason, she suddenly lost interest in visiting Jiqing Palace.

- "Your Majesty is a tiger and wolf who doesn't know the severity, but my whole body fell apart back then, and I couldn't get out of bed for several days, so my sister has to take care of herself." ”

Dong Yuejiao's words kept recalling in her mind. She knew she was telling the truth. On the night of Rouge Island, she was also scattered all over. Now, as long as he thinks that Brother Ling Li has been like this with other women, there is an indescribable feeling of trouble in his heart.

"What are you thinking, so distracted?"

After Ling Li finished handling the government affairs, he hurried to Jiqing Palace. He had been thinking about her all day, but when he walked to her, she didn't notice it, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.

Hearing Ling Li's voice, Shu Mei hurriedly got up to greet him, "Brother Ling Li, you are here." ”

Ling Li held her face, looked at her eyes carefully, and found that she was looking at herself at the moment, there was no joy in her eyes, and she couldn't help frowning: "Ah Mei, aren't you happy to see me?" ”

"Happy." A smile squeezed out of the corners of his lips.

"And what have you done today?" Ling Li sat down on the low couch and took her into his arms.

"Huo Diantou and Aunt Qiu Jin took me to visit the house and courtyard of Jiqing Palace, and I found the pillar that Ling Li's brother measured his height when he was a child......" Shu Mei leaned her head in his arms, reported what happened after she separated from him, and also interceded for Wei Shen by the way, but when it came to Dong Yuejiao's visit, she paused.

"Nothing else?" Ling Li asked.

She didn't want to tell him about Dong Yuejiao, so she smiled and shook her head.

"You didn't miss me?!" Ling Li's face turned cold on purpose.

"I thought about it." Shu Mei raised his head and said seriously.

"Just thinking about it? I've been thinking about you! Ling Li was a little indignant.

Hearing this, Shu Mei's originally gloomy eyes suddenly lit up with stars, "I've also been thinking about Brother Ling Li." I want to see my brother when he was six years old, when he was ten years old, and I want to see your fifty-pound Xuantie Dragon Scale Spear......"

A smile appeared between Ling Li's eyebrows, and he finally felt satisfied. He thinks of her, and he wants her to think of himself like this.

A moment later, Huo Cheng came in and reported that dinner was ready. Ling Li took her hand and went to the dining room to eat together.

"So many dishes?!" Seeing a table full of food, Shu Mei's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is the first time that our husband and wife have officially sat down to eat together, and I asked the imperial dining room to cook all the delicious dishes to see which ones are to your liking."

"It's not the first time, we've also eaten together in Lucheng." Shu Mei said as he lifted the lid of the stew pot on the front ring, picked up the spoon and soup bowl, and served the quail soup for Ling Li. The palace maid next to her wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by Ling Li's gesture.

"In Lucheng, there is always Juanjuan by her side, I want to hold your hand, I have to beware of being seen by her." Ling Li took the soup bowl she handed over, took her hand, and said with a smile: "I said husband and wife, but you think about it for the first time." ”

Shu frowned and blushed, and quietly glanced at the palace maid standing next to him with lowered eyes.
