When Wang Long stepped into the Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan was cutting an apricot blossom and inserting it into a vase. The vase has a curved neck and belly, floating with a layer of warm green jade luster, with the apricot blossoms obliquely inserted in it, like the bright and bright spring light by the Weishui River, all blooming on this branch of apricot blossoms.

"Let's be flat." Zhang Yan said casually, then raised her head, her eyes first swept lightly on her abdomen, and then saw Wang Long's flying eyebrows and bright eyes.

This is a woman who wants to fly.

Wang Long bowed for a while, then got up when he heard the words, put his hand on his abdomen, and smiled sweeter. "Empress Zhang lives in the Jiaofang Palace, and the concubines are concubines, so she should have come here to see her every day." She murmured.

"It's because I love to be quiet, and I don't like to see people." Zhang Yan shook her head excitedly. "I heard that the eighth son is already pregnant with the emperor, and as the queen, it is the responsibility of the palace to take care of the harem concubines. But Hongu is young and not familiar with women's pregnancy. It's not good to meddle around. Since she was the Queen Mother, please take care of the elderly palace people. Wang Bazi also quietly raised the fetus in the Qingliang Palace, so as not to make a mistake, not only sad, but also sad for the Queen Mother and Her Majesty. ”

"No."

The Lord has no intention of staying, nor does the guest want to stay. However, after saying a few words, Wang Long quickly retired, and before leaving, his eyes swept over the gorgeous curtains and couches of the Jiaofang Palace, smiled reservedly, and left.

"This Wang Long is too frivolous." Tu Yu's hands trembled, "Even if she can really give birth to a prince this time, the little prince has to call the queen mother, Wang Long is really not self-respecting." ”

Zhang Yan sniffed and lowered her head.

She thought that she would involuntarily be jealous of the woman who conceived and gave birth to him for him, but when she sat there, when she saw Wang Long visiting her, she seemed to be just facing a very strange person, and her emotions were not affected at all.

How can a little Wang Long be able to stir up her emotions? What can really make her sad and happy is always the man who values her very seriously in her heart.

He brought Wang Long to himself. Then I had to face her, and the sadness and humiliation that the child in her womb brought to me.

Zhang Yan suddenly got up and said, "I'm in good spirits today." Let's go to the small stove room and cook some side dishes. ”

Empress Zhang loves to taste delicious food, and Jiaofang Hall is famous in Weiyang Palace, and it is said that most of it is from the guidance of Empress Zhang. Food official Ling Cen Niang often learns cooking skills with Zhang Yan. It was also a common occurrence for her to set foot in the dining room.

When the female official was in the palace and instructed the maid to serve today's queen mother carefully, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind the palace, and the sound came from the imperial dining room. Taken aback, he hurriedly ran three steps and two steps and rushed out.

"Mother." She stepped in. Suddenly he lost his voice.

The stove was in a mess, and in the center of a round-mouthed stove that Cen Niang usually used on weekdays, the flames spewed out, and the burning case was pitch black. Only Zhang Yan seemed to have expected this, and hid far away. At this time, Slow Ristiao reached out and brushed his sideburns, except for a little dust on his face, not even a bun was messed up.

And the palace people standing around were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yan coughed, turned around and ordered, "Find someone and clean up here." Then let's move on. "The voice is clear.

"I don't have to." Cen Niang is a spirit. hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, if you want to eat." Command down. I will do my best to do it for you. Your golden branches and jade leaves, it is our honor to point and point on the side, why do you do it yourself? ”

"How?" Zhang Yan naughtily stretched out her index finger and shook it, signaling silence, and said. "Your Majesty loves to eat mushroom rice the most, and this palace will do it himself. It is also a piece of the palace's heart to His Majesty. ”

Her face smiled brightly as usual, like a spring flower, and her voice was sweet and soft, but it sounded like scraping ice slag, and there was a chill underneath.

Do you have such a heartfelt expression?

Everyone shuddered.

"Niangniang," Cen Niang's miserable voice came from the front, sounding very weak, "You don't have to be bitter when you make mushroom rice?" ”

"Hey, is this bitter wine?" Zhang Yan was surprised, "I thought it was sorrel." ”

Tu Yu listened from afar, couldn't help moaning, stroked his head and prayed in his heart, Your Majesty, if you ask for more blessings, today, at least today, don't come to the Jiaofang Palace.

However, the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, ten*. On this day, Liu Ying was in a good mood, even though there was a lot of political affairs backlogged in the Xuanshu Palace due to the patrol some days ago, and there was a smile on her lips when she approved it. Suddenly feeling tired, when he saw that the sky was approaching, he said, "It's not too early." I won't leave you all behind. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”

Xiangguo Cao waited for the ministers to retreat, but he was one step behind, and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the ministers don't know whether to say. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ying raised her head in surprise and said, "Cao Xiangguo is an important minister of the first emperor, and I have always relied on him. But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Cao Shen touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "When Your Majesty visited Xingpei County, the Queen Mother often came to Weiyang Palace to inquire about political affairs. ”

Liu Ying shook her head and said with a smile, "What should I do?" After I respect my mother, if there is something difficult to solve, I will also consult in Changle Palace. When the Queen Mother was on my trip, she occasionally cared about political affairs, which was not a big deal. ”

"What if it's not just occasionally?" Cao Shen said worriedly.

"What do you mean?" Liu Ying was stunned.

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are close relatives of mother and son, and they are one. The Queen Mother is the wife of the first emperor, not to mention that the first emperor laid down the Han Dynasty, and the Queen Mother also has a share of credit. Even when the ministers were not rich and noble in Pei County, they also had a deep friendship with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother can not be treated by ordinary women, and she holds the country steadily, sometimes even more than Her Majesty. Therefore, if there is something difficult to decide in the court, His Majesty must first ask Changle Palace. This is Your Majesty's benevolence and filial piety, and it is also the blessing of my great man. But Your Majesty, after all, the surname of this great Han world is Liu. His Majesty can share the world with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother should never bypass Her Majesty to meddle in political affairs. ”

And for most of the past half a month, the Queen Mother has asked almost everything in person. What's more, the officials don't ask about it, and they act arbitrarily. ”

Liu Ying was silent for a while and said, "Xiangguo will go back first." ”

He thought for a while and said, "Zhaolang Zhong ordered Chen Ping to come to the Xuanshu Palace. ”

After Chen Ping entered, Liu Ying asked about the details of personnel in Weiyang Palace recently, and then sat alone in the Xuanshu Hall for a while.

"Your Majesty," Han Changliu asked, "which lady are you going to go to tonight?" ”

In Weiyang Palace, Wang Bazi was a new upstart because he was pregnant, and he thought that the emperor would also visit Qingliang Hall on this day. Unexpectedly, Liu Ying's footsteps paced for a moment, and he looked up and said, "Hmm, let's go to the queen's Jiaofang Palace." ”

As soon as he stepped into the pepper room, he felt that it was quite different from the leisure of the pepper room in the past, and Tu Yu, who welcomed him in, glanced back, and his eyes seemed to carry a little pity. Liu Yingzheng was inexplicable, but when she looked up, she saw Ah Yan standing on the ladder in the hall, tiptoeing to take down a book from the top of the bookshelf, her body was weak.

"Be careful." He was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her down, frowning, and said, "There are so many maids in the Jiaofang Palace, you can call someone to help you at will." Why bother to pick it up yourself? ”

Zhang Yan smiled, if he was on the sidelines, someone would naturally stop him. But today he seems to be too angry, and no one in the palace dares to touch his moldy head. But then again, it's just climbing a ladder, and it's worth making a fuss about what can happen.

And how many beauties have been held by these arms under the wide sleeves?

Thinking of this, all the grievances that had been hidden in the past seemed to surface, Zhang Yan lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Your Majesty is in a good mood today?" ”

"Did you hear that?" Liu Ying was stunned, and said clearly, "You are the queen, and the affairs of Weiyang Palace naturally can't be hidden from you." ”

"It's getting late." She threw the book in her hand on the couch and said, "Let's have dinner." ”

Tu Yu came over slowly, and asked with his eyes for the last time, and saw that Zhang Yanzhuang's nod was unquestionable. So I had no choice but to order someone to bring in the prepared dinner.

It is Liu Ying's favorite mushroom rice, accompanied by a plate of preserved bamboo shoots, a plate of fried sunflower, a plate of boiled lamb, and a plate of mackerel. Liu Ying had something in her heart and called, "Ah Yan, what do you think ......?" After tasting a bite of rice, he suddenly felt a strange taste come out of his mouth, and coughed, "This, this rice ......?" ”

"What's wrong with this meal?" Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Oh." I came out of the Queen Mother today, and I heard that the eighth son of the king was pregnant, and His Majesty had a child, which was a great joy, and I was very happy for Your Majesty, so I personally made this meal for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, don't let down Ah Yan's heart. ”

Liu Ying's expression turned pale and asked, "Is this what Ah Yan did you cook yourself?" ”

"yes." Zhang Yan bowed his head heavily, stretched out his hands in front of him, and said, "Look, I cut my hand in order to make this soup for you." ”

She has a very beautiful pair of soft wattles, with slender and beautiful fingers, and the color is like white jade. On the index finger of the right hand, a cut was indeed drawn, and there was no blood, and it was contaminated with a faint smell of oil smoke, although it was washed with water, it had not all faded.

"Huh." Liu Ying reluctantly smiled, "Ah Yan, you are the queen, whatever you want to eat, just ask the food official to do it." You don't have to do it yourself. ”

"Yes." Zhang Yanyanran insisted, "What the food official does is the position of the food official. What I do with my own hands is my heart. She lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, and said abruptly, "This time I will go to Peijun with you." I heard the old people in Pei County say that when the new daughter-in-law of the people enters her husband's house, she has to wash her hands and make soup for her husband. When Ah Yan married into Weiyang Palace, she was still young, and no one told me that. I'm going to make it up now, can you try it? ”

Liu Ying was speechless for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Then what you used today was also made by yourself?" ”

Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "I am not diligent, I only made one person's weight, and I gave it to Your Majesty." As for herself, Cen Niang can just make it for me to eat. ”

He looked at the four identical side dishes on the dining table in front of her, and felt more and more fragrant.
