The Empress Dowager likes to be quiet, and in the early years, the emperor deliberately moved the Fushou Palace to the farthest secluded place of the palace, in order to facilitate the Empress Dowager to meditate and recite the Buddha.

Zhu Xiangxiang sat on the sedan chair and barely cheered up, lazily looking down at the head of the eunuch carrying the sedan chair, and felt a feeling called a man for the first time.

The sedan chair traveled for a while, and the eunuch who carried the sedan chair put down the sedan chair in front of a step, Zhu Xiangxiang looked up at the steps in front of him that were more than 30 steps long, and he didn't feel a little sigh in his heart: [This queen mother's legs and feet are really good. 】

[The host thinks too much.] 007 said, [This queen mother usually stays in the house to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, and she doesn't need to come out at all. 】

[She's not stuffy? 】

It is possible not to get stuffy.

According to the ancient model of early birth and early childbearing, the door does not go out, and the husband and child model of the second door are not stepping, and the queen mother is only about thirty or forty years old when the children grow up.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, she has been living in Fushou Palace, and she has lived for more than 20 years.

But a person who is bored in one place all the year round is really not tired of panicking?

007 complained: [The ancient queen mother was a turtle, we can't compare. 】

Zhu Xiangxiang nodded in approval: [That's right. 】

Xiao Su stood behind, a little puzzled by the princess's inexplicable nod, and said, "Princess, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhu Xiangxiang: "No."

How can you say what is in your heart?

As soon as he stepped up the steps, a eunuch came out with Buddha dust in his hand, and saluted Zhu Xiang respectfully, with a slight smile on his soft and fair face: "The slave meets Princess Jing'an, today is the day for the ladies to ask for peace, the Empress Dowager is still preparing at the moment, please wait here for a while." ”

The eunuch is Changhai next to the Queen Mother, when he was young, he had a sweet mouth, he was very good at talking and making people happy, and now he is getting older, and he is the one who understands the Queen Mother the most among many eunuchs.

Whether it is talent or sophistication, the Queen Mother is very happy with him, the Queen Mother trusts him extremely and reassures, and the Queen Mother will let go of many big and small things around him and take full power to deal with them.

The words of Changhai's father-in-law even represent the meaning of the Queen Mother in some ways.

Zhu Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Su suspiciously, Xiao Su was puzzled when she received Zhu Xiangxiang, and quickly reacted and saluted: "Meet Father-in-law Hai, don't blame Father-in-law, the princess has been too busy with reading recently, and she can't come to Fushou Palace for a long time."

But the princess's filial piety is always talking about the queen mother, and as soon as the school is closed today, the princess hurried over, wanting to be close to the queen mother. It's all to blame for the slave maid who forgot to remind the princess that today is a day of peace, and let the princess come early, which is really Xiaosu's sin. ”

"It's okay." Changhai said with a smile, "Princess Jing'an has been coming to Fushou Palace for a long time recently. Yesterday, the Queen Mother didn't see the princess, she missed it very much, and today the princess came, and now the Queen Mother can be happy all day today. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Zhu Xiangxiang still didn't understand anything, she didn't look at the yellow calendar when she went out.

The Queen Mother recites the Buddha all the year round, in order to meditate on the Buddha, it is hereby decreed that the palace maidens do not have to ask for peace every day, and they can ask for peace once a month in the middle of the month and the beginning of the month.

Originally, the princes and princesses in the palace also wanted to ask for peace every day, but the queen mother felt sorry for the grandchildren who got up too early, and they had to rush to the study before they had time to eat.

The emperor was busy with government affairs, and he didn't have time to deal with these red tapes, so he gave an order to approve it with a wave of his hand.

Later, if the princes and princesses missed the queen mother and the emperor, they would deliberately avoid coming to Fushou Palace when they asked the harem concubines to say goodbye.

One is to avoid suspicion, and the other is that too many people will disturb the Queen Mother's purity.

If you really can't avoid this day, the princes and princesses will come to Fushou Palace later to avoid the crowded hours.

Please be safe It's still early, Zhu Xiangxiang took Xiao Su to the side, and didn't accuse Xiao Su of pulling her up early in the morning, and said in a light tone to Chang Hai, who was holding Buddha dust in front of him: "It's the palace that forgot the time today." ”

Changhai smiled lightly and didn't say too much.

Standing in front of the steps I don't know how long I waited, Zhu Xiangxiang's legs and feet were numb, and the concubines of the harem arrived one after another, and Zhu Xiangxiang saluted them one by one.

Xu is a lot of people, Li Guifei in the crowd didn't say anything in the face of Zhu Xiangxiang's salute, nodded slightly, and continued to whisper to the surrounding concubines.

Concubine Li didn't react, and it was impossible for Zhu Xiangxiang to react to her, she didn't want to salute yet!

She had a quarrel with Concubine Li a few days ago, and it didn't make sense for her to hurry up and curry favor now.

But no, they are all the emperor's little lovers, her nominal mothers!

In ancient times, filial piety was valued, even if a few of these ladies had never even seen the original owner, but when they met, the etiquette for acting on the scene must be in place.

[The ancient emperor was so happy to have so many beauties. 007, if you give me the whole thing in the future, you let me try to be the emperor, and we will enjoy the fun. 】

007 Yanyan: [Host, isn't it good for us to be empress? Why be a man? 】

[The happiness of men and women is different, you don't understand. You just say that I have no chance to become an emperor in the future? 】

[Nope.] 007 coldly refused.

I wish Xiang Xiang is not unexpected, but I regret it with a fake appearance: [... It's a pity that I lost the benefit of holding a beautiful woman. 】

[Host, you are a girl yourself, isn't it okay for us to be empresses hugging men? Why do you have to be a man? 】

【... It's all said that you don't understand. 】

007 was silent for a moment, and complained: "If I understood, there would be no you. 】

【....】

That's right, but Zhu Xiangxiang doesn't accept it.

[Host, there are so many concubines here now, and the forces behind them should not be underestimated, you can win them over. 】

007 stared at the beautifully dressed women not far away, his eyes full of impatience.

Behind each of them represents a family force, and if one is co-opted, won't the affairs of the court be in your hands?

Zhu Xiangxiang quietly looked at the upright and luxurious concubines in front of him, and already had an idea in his heart.

patted the restless 007: [Don't worry. 】

A group of people stood in front of the steps and waited for a while, and the father-in-law of Changhai, who was standing in front of the steps, raised the dust of the Buddha and said loudly: "The time has come, please go and say hello." ”

The people who were laughing in a low voice immediately quieted down, and moved slowly one after another, and Zhu Xiangxiang didn't want to stand still stupidly anymore, so he followed everyone in.

Fushou Palace is large and quiet, with many chairs in the middle of the room, and an incense burner in the four corners, from which the burning spices float out and slowly dissipate into the air.

The faint scent of sandalwood filled this small square room, smelling this fragrance, Zhu Xiangxiang subconsciously frowned, looked at the square incense burner in the room without a trace, and paused at the door.

Seeing the concubines one by one, they walked to their own positions and stood still, and Zhu Xiangxiang was a little embarrassed to stand still at the door.

There was no danger in Fushou Palace, no one left, and she didn't have any reason to leave without permission.

Zhu Xiang said: [The first time I came, I met the scene of the Queen Mother's rectification of the harem, I knew that this was the case, and today I said that I would not come to anything, it was really unlucky! ] 】

007 said: [Host, it will not affect you much, rest assured. 】

Zhu Xiang said: [Although I don't plan to get married and have children in this world, it is very torturous to live better than death. 】

【.... Where is there a host that says so badly? Everyone's watching you, host, get in. 】

Seeing that the concubines were standing still, Zhu Xiang Xiang made up his mind, and he also raised his feet to go in.

Unexpectedly, a stalk of Buddha dust stopped her slightly, and the long sea standing at the door was like an old chrysanthemum smiling, and her elderly body was slightly rickety.

He said extremely respectfully: "Princess Jing'an, please go to the side hall and wait for a while." Please An Ri is a time for the Queen Mother and the concubines to get close to each other, and it is inconvenient for you to stay together as a royal daughter. ”

Zhu Xiangxiang was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked into the house, and saw that the eyes of the concubines in the room were full of ridicule, so she completely stopped thinking about it, raised her foot and turned in a direction, and said: "In this case, this palace will not disturb the rare moment of intimacy between the imperial grandmother and all the mothers, and it is good for this palace to go to the side hall and so on." ”

Changhai nodded slightly, smiled profusely, lowered his head and led Zhu Xiang into a side hall on the left.

The place is much smaller than the main hall of Fangcai, but the decoration is still exquisite, and there are four incense burners in the four corners of the room as usual, and the burning spices are fragrant and elegant, which is very pleasant.

Waiting for the palace maid to deliver tea and snacks, Changhai saluted slightly: "Please sit here for a while, the ladies may be a little long today." You get up early in the morning to delay sleeping, and if you are sleepy, you can take a nap on the couch in the temple. ”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the delicate couch next to the wall, and nodded with a light smile: "Thank you for your concern, I am tired of the princess Hai Gong to inform me that the palace will wait patiently here." ”

"That's fine." Changhai said with a smile, "The princess sits in peace, and calls the palace maid outside if she has something." The slave still has to go to the Queen Mother to return to her life, so it is inconvenient to stay here longer. ”

"Gonggong Hai is going to serve the imperial grandmother, there is no need to worry about this palace."

"The minions are gone."

Changhai shook off the dust of the Buddha and left, and there were only two people left in the side hall for a while, Zhu Xiangxiang and Xiaosu.

In the quiet, Xiao Su was a little uneasy: "Princess, why did the Queen Mother arrange you to the side hall?" ”

Could it be that the queen mother thinks that the emperor punished the princess lightly?

No, no, the Queen Mother has always been kind, and she has always treated the princess very well, and she is extremely distressed.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Su's mind, but in the end, they were denied one by one.

It's not that Xiao Su doesn't know that today is the day of greetings, but that today is deliberately early.

First, the emperor punished the princess not long ago, and he was able to brush up his impression points in front of the queen mother earlier.

The second is that in the past, there were also princes and concubines who asked An Ri to bump into each other, and the queen mother was not annoyed, on the contrary, she was quite happy.

There has never been a matter of the prince and the princess waiting in the side hall.

The princess gets late on weekdays, but today it was Xiao Su who advocated to pull Zhu Xiang up.

Yesterday, the personal palace maid peony next to the queen mother visited, and she did not inform the princess in advance afterwards.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Su pounced and knelt at Zhu Xiangxiang's feet: "Princess, the slave is guilty." ”
