Yuan Xi slowly cooled his face and said, "Ling'er, you go to Beigong again, and ask the nurse to bring the child back immediately." ”

Ling'er answered, and asked, "What if the Queen Mother refuses?"

Yuan Yue stood up and said, "If you are willing, I will go with you." ”

Yuan Xi grabbed the silk silk on Yuan Yue's waist: "Second sister, don't go, this is a matter between me and the Queen Mother, don't pull Prince Bao's Mansion in." asked Ling'er to go with Mother Zhong. If the queen mother does not allow it, you will go to invite the emperor along the way, no matter what the emperor is doing, just say that there is a big matter in Zichen Palace and ask the emperor to make a holy judgment. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go. Ling'er pulled Mother Zhong and walked out of the dormitory.

Yuan Yue raised her chin slightly, and said with a straight face: "That's right, this is my third sister." ”

Ling'er and Mother Zhong entered the North Palace one after the other, and when the Queen Mother saw these two people, she was overjoyed. turned his face sideways to talk to the women in the flower hall, but he didn't see these two people. Ling'er and Mother Zhong have already eaten closed-door soup once, and they are used to it. stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Slaves and maids see the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at it, still pretending not to see it. Just smiling and talking to the other women, there were two people kneeling in front of them, and the attention of the other women was inevitably attracted by the two slaves and maids, and they were distracted from them.

Ling'er frowned, and bowed to Mother Zhong again.

The Queen Mother glanced at her face slightly, and the two little palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to pull them, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, Mother Zhong, I was going to bring you fruit just now, why did you leave? The Queen Mother is talking to the princess and the princess and the ladies, you two will wait next to you for a while, and when they are all gone, you will talk about your business." Anyway, there's no hurry, let's eat something. ”

The little palace maid said that, she pulled them to the tea room, and stuffed them with fruits in their arms, what citrus bergamot, what golden silk cake, what osmanthus sugar, this was not stingy, and the enthusiasm almost exposed the back molars. It's just that as soon as they mentioned their intentions, those little palace maids pretended not to hear.

Ling'er and Mother Zhong glanced at each other, and smiled at the two little palace maids: "It's enough, it's enough, and I can't finish it." You go with your business first, and the two of us greet ourselves. ”

When the two little palace maids saw that they were really eating, they left with a smile. As soon as the two of them left, Ling'er and Mother Zhong put aside the things in their arms.

"It seems that the Queen Mother really doesn't plan to return the prince to the mother. Ling'er said urgently.

"I'm not afraid, she won't pay it back, we can find it ourselves. It's just that this north palace is so big, and I don't know which dormitory the little prince is in. Mother Zhong sighed.

Ling'er's eyes rolled in his sockets: "With the queen mother's temperament, she should sleep with the little prince, maybe the little prince is in the queen mother's bedroom." ”

What Ling'er said was not unreasonable, and Mother Zhong nodded: "Then let's go." ”

Sure enough, Ling'er stretched out her head to look into the dormitory, and the nurse was dangling in the dormitory with the little prince in her arms, humming a song that she couldn't hear clearly.

"Look at it like this, it's to let the little prince live permanently. Ling'er pursed her lips and pushed open the door of the dormitory.

There is only one nurse in the dormitory, and today the palace maids in the north palace are busy taking care of all the wives, so that the guards of the dormitory are so lax.

When the nurse saw that it was Ling'er, she said, "Miss Ling, why did you come in?"

Mother Zhong looked down and saw that the little prince was sleeping sweetly in the nurse's arms. This little thing is really heartless, and it can fall asleep anywhere. Mother Zhong stretched out her hand and hugged the little prince over. Xu was shaken a little, and the prince grinned and began to cry.

The child's cry was already loud, and the size of the dormitory made it even louder. The palace maid outside heard the children crying in the dormitory, so she stretched out her head to look inside. As soon as she saw that it was Mother Zhong and Ling'er in the dormitory, she suddenly shouted.

The Queen Mother had already ordered that no one could take the little prince away, so the palace maids in the North Palace all shouted. As soon as there was a disturbance in the backyard, it alarmed the Queen Mother, who heard that someone was going to take away her grandson, and hurried back to the dormitory regardless of the princess's wife.

"The bold slave and maid dare to take away the emperor and grandson of the mourning family without permission! Do you know the guilt?" the queen mother looked furious.

"Yo, isn't this the maid in the queen's palace?" The princess of the third prince saw her for the first time today, and somehow, she could actually recognize the maid in the queen's palace. I guess I did my homework before I came.

The Queen Mother glanced at the third princess and said to herself: "Didn't the mourning family say it? The little prince is asleep, so I tell you to come back later." The mourning family is not an outsider, why should the queen be so anxious?"

Ling'er frowned, when did the Queen Mother promise to come back to hold the child later?

But she is the queen mother, and Ling'er is not good at poking her in person, so she just said: "Back to the queen mother, this emperor was born, and my master only hugged her once, and I hope that the queen mother will be sympathetic to the master's heart and love the prince." Let the slaves and maids take the prince back, and if the queen mother misses the prince, the slaves and maids will bring the prince back. ”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, and this little girl spoke with spikes, as if she was a wicked mother-in-law. The daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and she was only allowed to hug her once, as if she was not allowed to meet the mother and son.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly and said: "What I said, the queen loves the prince, doesn't the mourning family love the prince?

Mother Zhong raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, but she only saw the Queen Mother's raised jaw.

"You go back first, and when the prince wakes up, the mourning family will naturally send someone to send the prince back. The queen mother pulled her skirt and smiled at the ladies behind her: "The queen is still young, and she is a little anxious, and she can't leave this child for a moment, as if the mourning family can dominate the child." ”

The third princess turned her head and smiled: "Even if the queen mother keeps the prince by her side, it is for the good of the prince." The Queen Mother is well-informed, and with the Queen Mother personally raised, the little prince will definitely be able to be smart and outstanding. ”

As soon as the third princess finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the queen mother.

Ling'er raised her head: "Hmph, she really deserves to be the princess of a scholar, and it is an article as soon as she speaks." ”

Mother Zhong hurriedly covered her mouth: "Silence, this is the North Palace, there are many people, why are you still arranging the third prince?"

Ling'er pursed her lips: "What now, the Queen Mother has already promised, and the child will be sent back to Zichen Palace when he wakes up, do we still want to invite the emperor to go?"

Mother Zhong stood up and pondered for a moment: "How do I think that the Queen Mother's words are for those noble ladies?" However, the words of the third princess remind us that the Queen Mother will never return the prince. ”

Ling'er stared at her: "You mean, the third princess is not flattering the queen mother, but ......"

The third master has not been close to the queen mother since he was a child, and now he is the same as the prince. He has always been respectful of the Queen Mother and the emperor, and he has a posture of being an idle writer who does not care about the world, so when Xiao Rongshen was a pseudo-emperor, he never had the idea of the Three Princes' Mansion. Even the third master didn't bother to ask about the affairs in the palace, so why did the third princess flatter the queen mother?

Mother Zhong lowered her eyelids: "It's good to understand in your heart, don't say it." ”

Mother Zhong pulled Ling'er and quietly left the North Palace, and after a long time out of the North Palace, she could still see the palace maids in the North Palace staring at them.

Mother Zhong snorted indignantly, this person in Beigong is really going to take revenge. The queen had just saved the queen mother, and she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone. knew that she was such a kind of person who would take revenge, so it was better to let her be poisoned by Zhao Kezhen's strange poison.

Such thoughts can only be wandering around in their minds, and if they say it, the queen will reprimand them.

The renovated Imperial Study has been renovated and has changed its previous layout to become more magnificent. The painted cloister, covered with layers of glazed tiles, is shiny when the sun shines. It took only three months to rebuild the imperial study, and the palace was able to be built so grandly, which shows that the designer put a lot of thought into it.

Mother Zhong and Ling'er walked up the steps and saw Qin Shun guarding the door.

As soon as Qin Shun saw someone coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Why are you here?" The emperor is discussing matters in the imperial study, if you are not in a hurry, just wait." ”

Zhong's mother glanced at Ling'er, although Yuanxi said that no matter what the emperor was doing, he would be invited over, but Zhong's mother vaguely felt that this was just an angry word from the queen. If you really break in to report a trivial matter between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when the emperor is deliberating, you really don't know the general situation.

Qin Shun saw that they didn't break in, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ling Er glanced at him angrily: "Big deal." ”

Qin Shunle said: "What's the big thing? there must be a cause and effect, right?"

Ling'er raised her head: "Is the matter of the queen mother and the prince a big deal?"

Qin Shun nodded: "Naturally, it's a big deal." ”

"Now someone wants to stop the queen from seeing the prince, do you think this is a big deal?"

As soon as Ling'er's words came out, Qin Shun covered his mouth, and he shouted in a low voice: "Do you want to lose your head?"

Ling'er broke away from his hand and muttered, "I hate it." ”

Qin Shun twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "Isn't what you are talking about the North Palace? The Queen Mother carried the prince to the North Palace, so those women went to the North Palace to celebrate, and no one went to the Zichen Palace, right?"

Ling'er said stubbornly: "No, I'm talking about ......"

Qin Shun waved his hand: "Almost, the Queen Mother wants the prince to live in the North Palace all the time and be raised by her old man." Isn't that the thing?"

Ling'er nodded, surprised: "You know?"

Qin Shun sighed, not only did he know, but the emperor already knew.

He smiled: "Actually, the queen mother is also a good intention, the queen mother is still young, if there is a child by her side, not to mention the care, it will delay the emperor...... Isn't the Empress Dowager personally raising the prince just to make room for the emperor and queen? This is a good thing. ”

Ling'er took a sip: "Crooked, what kind of crooked reason are you?"

Mother Zhong was stunned for a moment, and vaguely heard some clues, so she stopped Ling'er and asked Qin Shun instead: "Commander Qin, what you just said, should it be ...... Is that what the emperor meant?"
