The brown and red lichen in the Changxin Hall is prosperous and sturdy, and the eight dancing girls and bronze figures on both sides hold bright palace lamps, hang down their long sleeves, and hang their eyes lightly, with an elegant expression. Empress Lu raised her eyes and looked at her son and daughter-in-law, with a faint expression on her face, the hall was originally full of laughter and banquets, but as soon as she said this, she suddenly fell silent.

Liu Ying's brows furrowed tightly, obviously very reluctant to Tongzi, and she was also a little resistant to her mother's opinion.

On the side, the nurse Wen Niang He had seen this kind of formation in the heavenly family, a nervous, the strength of holding Tongzi in her hand was a little tighter, Tongzi felt quite uncomfortable, and cried loudly.

Zhang Yan raised her head, a pair of apricot kernel-shaped eyes with an inexplicable bright and firm meaning, and stepped forward and said, "Tongzi, what's wrong?" Naturally, he took his son from Wen Niang's arms, shook it gently and coaxed, "Oh, oh, Tongzi is a good baby." Kiriko smelled the reassuring breath in her mother's arms, gradually quieted down, danced her hands and feet like lotus roots, and laughed out loud.

Empress Lu sat on the couch of the first Xuanxuan, looking at Zhang Yan's loving scene coaxing Tongzi, without speaking, but her eyes were very obscure.

"Queen Mother," Zhang Yan turned around, hugged Tongzi and smiled at her, "Your Majesty and I are very clear about your love for Tongzi. We are also very willing to let Kiriko stay by your side to fulfill our filial piety instead of us, but Kiriko is still too young to leave her parents......"

Empress Lu has been looking forward to such a grandson for so many years, and Zhang Yan does not doubt that she loves Tongzi in her heart. But as a mother, Zhang Yan can't bear to let her child out of her care. And boys always have to grow up by their father's side, so that they can grow up better, get a broad, brave and responsible attitude, and be able to bear the ups and downs they will encounter in the future.

What's more, Tongzi is different from other children, he is Liu Ying's only prince at present. The child who wants to inherit Liu Ying's throne in the future will be separated from Liu Yingsheng because of the separation of the two palaces, it will be an indescribable loss for his mother and son.

"Erchen thought, it's better to wait for Tongzi to follow me until he is half a year old, and then we can send him to Changle Palace for a month, and then go back to Weiyang Palace for a month, and so on, what do you think?"

The corners of Lu Hou's lips pursed slightly. looked at Zhang Yan in front of him.

Zhang Yan stood on the hall and looked back at the past lightly. The eyes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law collided in the hall, and her eyes were bright and she had no fear of retreating.

Empress Lu looked at it for a while, lowered her eyes, and said lightly. "Since the queen said so, let's do as you say!"

……

The afterglow of the setting sun renders the western sky of Weiyang Palace into a red color, and the pavilions and pavilions of the palace are shrouded in such a twilight, as if covered with a layer of crimson tulle, which is very beautiful.

Since the destruction of the road between the two palaces that day, Liu Ying is out of a knot. Refused to rebuild the road again, after which the Son of Heaven and the queen came to Changle Palace to worship the Empress Dowager Lu, and returned to the old way when the road was not established. From the yellow gate of the palace to call the police in advance, dismiss the people of Zhangtai Street, everything is ready, and the royal driver has never come out of the east of the central palace and entered the west of Changle.

Entered the east gate of Weiyang Palace. Liu Ying simply abandoned the chariot and walked back to the Jiaofang Hall with Zhang Yan. Tongzi lay in Wen Niang's arms. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, I screamed excitedly, very happy,

"Ah Yan, when I was in Changxin Palace just now, I was really worried that you and the queen mother would quarrel again,"

Liu Ying held Zhang Yan's hand and said with a smile, "You see Tongzi as the same as the root of life, I thought you would not let Tongzi out for a star and a half!" Later, he agreed to take turns raising Kiriko with his mother, which surprised me very much. ”

Zhang Yan looked at him sideways and said angrily, "Ah, is it because I can't bear Tongzi?" Your Majesty will be willing to do it? ”

"Reluctantly." Liu Ying smiled, "Where can I give up?" Looking at Tongzi with a smile, to this day, he has Ah Yan by his side, and he has the precious son of Tongzi, he really feels satisfied, cherishes everything around him, and is unwilling to recall those unsatisfactory things in the past.

He turned his head, looked at Zhang Yan who was behind him, and said strangely, "What's wrong with you, you refuse to leave?" ”

Zhang Yan stopped, looked at Liu Ying, in the twilight, her complexion looked three points strange, three points sad, and said softly, "Your Majesty still doesn't know?" The queen mother is already very sick. ”

"What did you say?" Liu Ying Huo Ran changed color.

"Your Majesty, don't go." Zhang Yan hugged him and said hurriedly, "The queen mother is going to be strong for a lifetime, and she is unwilling to be looked down upon by her relatives at this time." That's why every time she sees us, she holds on to it, and lets the people of Changle Palace hide her illness from her. It's me, if it weren't for Imperial Doctor Dong inadvertently missing some words, I wouldn't have found out. ”

"Before we went back to Peijun, the queen mother had fainted two or three times, and these days, I often have heart palpitations and insomnia, and I look very bad."

Liu Ying was stunned for a long time, and Fang asked gently, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”

"The imperial doctor said that the root of the disease in his early years was left in his bones, and over the years, he often exhausted his energy, worried more and slept less," Zhang Yan said softly, "If you don't take care of it, you're only afraid of ......."

Liu Ying stood in place for a long time, and Fang said softly, "It's me who is not good." ”

He turned his head with his hand and looked at the direction of Changle Palace, where the high platforms and pavilions stretched, and the horns flew up, in the twilight of the sky, like an eagle with wings ready to fly, solemn and solemn. The first half of his life with his mother in Changle Palace was not very happy, "If it weren't for the fact that my son couldn't relieve all her worries, why would the queen mother think about ruining herself so far!" ”

The setting sun stretched his back into a long shadow, dragging it on the ground, extremely tired, Zhang Yan looked extremely uncomfortable, hugged Liu Ying, and muttered, "Hold it, don't worry, everything will be fine!" ”

The couple stood in the forbidden garden, the palace people around them had long known the opportunity, and they retreated far away, and the sunset twisted their shadows together, looking very intimate.

After a long while, Liu Ying recovered from her grief and said calmly, "You are right, the queen mother's temperament, I, as a son, know best." She didn't want us to know, so we pretended we didn't. It's just that we should pay more attention to the imperial doctor's body in the future, and be more filial to the queen mother. ”

"You can't use this, you can't do it?" Zhang Yan glanced at him, "The queen mother is not only your mother, but also the grandmother who has loved me since childhood." Of course, I hope she is doing well. ”

She pursed her lips and chuckled, and said in a crisp voice,

"I've thought about it, the queen mother feels sorry for Kirito, and I'm very happy that Kiriko can relieve her serious illness and depression a little. Kiriko is still young, the queen mother is ill with lack of energy, can not take care of him, when he is a little older, let him go to accompany his eldest mother more, we often pick him up. Don't miss it too much. ”

"That's really the best." Liu Ying nodded, held Zhang Yan's hand, and said with a smile. "Ah Yan, it's my luck to have your good wife!"

In the summer of May, Xinwei, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to ask the hundred officials of the court to discuss the honorific titles of the Emperor Taishang's concubine, Mrs. Zhaoling, and Emperor Gao's brothers and sisters, Marquis Wu Ai and Mrs. Xuan. After the ministers' meeting. Chen Ping, the prime minister of Zuo, wrote to him, asking Mrs. Zhaoling to be the queen of Zhaoling, Marquis of Wu Ai to be the king of Wu Ai, and Mrs. Xuan to be the queen of Zhao Ling.

In the Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan instructed Wen Niang, "Take good care of the second prince." Although I think about him all the time, after all, sometimes I can't take care of him. The status of the second prince is precious, and you are his nurse. is the person who takes care of him closely, the second prince is well, he will remember your good when he grows up, and I will also miss your love. But if you have any selfish slackness, I will never spare you. Remember? ”

Wen Niang looked respectful and bowed deeply. "Promise."

Zhang Yan asked, "How is the eldest princess these days?" ”

Chu Fumu replied with a smile, "The eldest princess is very sensible, and she has recently finished studying "Urgent Chapter" and began to read and write poems with Sang Niang. ”

The corners of Zhang Yan's lips curled slightly, and she got up and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

The side hall of the Jiaofang Palace, where Princess Fanyang lived, was very brightly arranged, and the crimson Luo gauze curtain gently rose with the early summer south wind blowing in from the open branch window, rippling out light folds like water waves. Sitting on the brocade couch, holding a purple frost pen, lying on the vermilion lacquer luodian nanmu bookcase with something written. A girl of this age seems to be growing every day. Zhang Yan looked good, as if she was a little taller than a year ago, wearing a white ice silk shirt, embroidered with dark flowers of the same color on the collar and cuffs, and the scarlet long skirt was like a lively* flower blooming in the field, with slender limbs, and she had begun to show a moving style.

Zhang Yan looked at her daughter, and suddenly didn't remember that she was like this at her age.

Sang Niang and Bai Guo, who were standing on the side of the hall, saw Zhang Yan and hurriedly wanted to salute, Zhang Yan made a gesture and quietly walked behind Haohao.

Seeing the shadow cast on the snow-white paper, he raised his head, with a happy look on his face, and called, "A-Niang." ”

Zhang Yan hugged her daughter and said with a smile, "What are you painting?" ”

"It's nothing," Hao suddenly became shy, and hurriedly turned around and lay on the desk, covering the graffiti on the paper, "Auntie, don't look at it." ”

Zhang Yan gestured, "Really don't show it to A-Niang?" Then A-Niang is leaving. ”

After pursing her lips for a while, she finally moved her body out of the way, revealing the note on the bookcase.

There are three people drawn on the note, two large and one small, holding hands together, sketching with only the simplest lines, and the painting style is very immature and cute.

"Yo," Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "What is this painting?" ”

Pointing to the older one on the right, "This is Ah Weng," pointing to the slightly smaller one on the left, "This is Ah Niang," and the little child in the middle is good. We are a family with love and affection. ”

Zhang Yan smiled, looked at the good expression, and hurriedly held back desperately, and praised, "It's very good to draw." But why didn't you draw my brother? ”

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Ah Weng A-Niang has a younger brother, so don't be good." "It's very depressed.

"Who said that?" Zhang Yan said angrily, holding it in her arms, "Ah Weng would be sad if he knew that his most beloved daughter spoke like this!" Na, Tongzi's younger brother has just been born, and at this time he needs to be taken care of the most, so it seems that when Tongzi was so young, A-Niang was also staring at it all the time. However, Ah Weng and Ah Niang will not forget it. ”

looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously, "Really? ”

"Really."

After taking a good breath, his expression became lively, and he complained, "But the last time I went to see Brother Kiriko, Kiriko didn't talk to me?" ”

“…… My brother is still young, and when my brother grows up, he will be able to talk to each other. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he threw himself on the case, picked up the pen and added a smaller person to the painting, and said to himself, "Ah Weng, Ah Niang, good , and Brother Kiriko, our family is dear and loving together." …… Ah, by the way, I'll make up for the dango brother too! ”

When Zhang Yan heard the last sentence, the corners of her lips brushed down.

"Queen Mother," when she returned to the dormitory, Tu Yu stepped forward to serve her and changed into a plain green swallow dress, and cautiously persuaded,

"The eldest princess is still young, and when she grows up, she will know which one is her close sibling and which one is someone else."

Zhang Yanxing's eyes raised slightly, "I don't care about her children." ”

But your tone is no different from that of a child, and Tu Yu whispered in his heart.

Zhang Yan took the tea cup handed over by Shi Nan, took a sip on her lips, put it on the table next to her, and called, "Dongshou." ”

Shen Dongshou, a female historian dressed in a vermilion female official costume, closed the Tong Shi in her hand, walked out of the corner of the silent Jiaofang Palace, and bowed to Queen Zhang, "I don't know what the queen has to call the slave maid?" "Look respectful.

Zhang Yan pondered for a while, and then asked, "You are the female history of the palace, responsible for recording and teaching the rules of words and deeds of the concubines, and you are the most familiar with those concubines in the court, I have a question for you: If I give a sum of money to the women in the court and let them leave Weiyang Palace, do you think they will be willing?" ”

Shen Dongshou suddenly raised his head and looked at Empress Zhang, "What does the queen mean by asking?" ”

Zhang Yan had a slight doubt in her heart, but she still said, "Although Your Majesty doesn't want too many people to know, with your friendship with me, I don't intend to hide it from you: I felt that there were no concubines in the palace in the palace, and I was a little pitiful, so I pleaded with Your Majesty and wanted to let them out." When I had just given birth to the second prince, His Majesty promised me in the delivery room. I'm thinking about figurines now, and I want to ask your opinion. ”

Empress Zhang said eloquently, and the voice echoed in Shen Dongshou's ears, which seemed to be very close and far away. Shen Dongshou's body trembled slightly due to extreme excitement, and after a long while, he raised his head, knelt on the big red tuanhua lichen in Jiaofang Hall with a bang, and said, "The slave begs the queen mother for something," the voice was clear and resolute!
