First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 268 Mother and Child (one more)

  "Your aunt? Is your aunt in the palace?" Qin Chuyu asked

Xiao Jingkong nodded: "Well! I just saw her! They said she lives in the palace!"

  Qin Chuyu was at a loss.

  Live in the palace? Only the masters of the palace, such as the queen mother, the emperor's concubines, and their princes, really live in the palace. However, there are many maids in the palace. Perhaps one of them is the aunt of the little friend?

   "What's your aunt's name?" Qin Chuyu asked.

   "My aunt's name is... called..." It took a while for Xiao Jingkong to remember that she didn't know her name, "I don't know!"

   "This..." Qin Chuyu sighed, "If you don't know the name, it will be difficult to find. There are more people in the palace than students in the Imperial College."

  Xiao Jingkong recalled carefully, a flash of light in her mind, and said: "They call her the queen mother!"

   "Cough!" Qin Chuyu choked, "Madam, queen dowager? Your aunt is the queen dowager? Are you the Zhuang family?"

Xiaojing thought about it for a while, and said rigorously: "I am a farmer in the country, but now we move to the capital and don't farm anymore, so we shouldn't be regarded as a farmer anymore."

  Qin Chuyu: What does this have to do with farming? Why is it not the Zhuang family after moving to Beijing? Can this be changed at will?

  The two children Niutou talked to the horse's mouth for a long time, and Qin Chuyu didn't fully understand whether Xiaojingkong was the Zhuang family.

  He was only eight years old, said he understands, he does not understand, but he does not understand, he also knows that the mother and concubine Zhuang have nothing to do with each other.

  Qin Chuyu sternly said: "If you are the Zhuang family, I will not be able to play with you in the future."

   Xiao Jingkong's eyes widened and said: "But I am no longer a farmer! You can play with me!"

"Well, okay." He was also reluctant to bear this little friend, "but I can't take you into the palace today. Recently, my sister-in-law is sick, and my brother is in a bad mood. If I take my little friend to the palace, I will provoke him. Happy, then, if you wait two more days, I will definitely take you into the palace."

  Small headroom: ...that can only be so.

The Queen Mother Zhuang returned to the Palace of Renshou where she had been away for more than a year.

  Renshou Palace is the same as before, and even the people in the palace are just like her before leaving the palace.

  The Queen Mother Zhuang returned to the palace in a high-profile manner, and did not ventilate with the emperor in advance, which really gave the emperor a big "surprise"!

   Empress Dowager Zhuang sits on the phoenix chair above the steps of the main hall, wearing a black and red embroidered golden phoenix robe and a golden phoenix crown on her head.

  The emperor stood on the white marble floor in front of her, with respect and filial piety: "It is a great blessing for the country that the queen is healthy and healthy."

   Queen Mother Zhuang's gaze fell on the emperor’s face lightly, and she said indifferently, "It’s good for the emperor to understand."

  The emperor’s eyes moved, and said with a smile to Queen Mother Zhuang: “The journey to the palace is far away, and the queen mother is tired along the way. The son-in-law brought the Emperor Liang to ask for the pulse of the queen mother. Liang Yu!”

  "The minister is here!" The Emperor Liang, who was over 50, walked forward with a medicine box on his back and knelt down. The Queen Mother Chongzhuang kowtowed, "The minister welcomes the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

  Queen Mother Zhuang sneered, reached out her hand, and said casually: "The emperor is filial, and the mourning family will not give the emperor's mind."

  The emperor winked at Yu Doctor Liang and motioned to him to ask for a pulse for Empress Dowager Zhuang.

  The Imperial Physician Liang walked to the foot of Queen Mother Zhuang on his knees, put the medicine box on the ground, and opened it, took out a clean silk cloth and put it on the Queen Mother’s wrist, and then used the silk cloth to signal the pulse of the Queen Mother.

  The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile but a smile: "Doctor Liang, what's the pulse condition of Aijia?"

  The Imperial Physician Liang retracted his hand, placed the silk cloth, and said, "The empress dowager’s pulse is stable, and it seems to be three points healthier than before."

  The emperor frowned without a trace.

   Queen Mother Zhuang faintly curled her lips: "The emperor is disappointed?"

  The emperor hurriedly said: "How come? The son has been looking forward to the early recovery of his mother, safe and smooth, and a long life."

   Queen Mother Zhuang sneered: “According to the emperor’s auspicious words, the Ai’s family will surely live a hundred years, and the Ai’s family still has to watch the Zhao Kingdom grow stronger, the people are well-fed, and the world is in a peaceful and prosperous age."

  The emperor's hands buried under his wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a smile: “I know the emperor’s filial piety, and the emperor should go to work if there is nothing to do. If the mourning family is not there, the emperor must be very busy.”

  This is a bit meaningful, what is the emperor busy with? It is not known whether he is busy dealing with government affairs or cutting off the Queen Mother's party feathers.

  The emperor said: "The son is leaving first, the mother will take care of the phoenix body, and the son will come to visit the mother and the queen another day."

   "No need." Queen Mother Zhuang said.

  The emperor was taken aback for a moment.

  In the next second, I heard Queen Mother Zhuang say: "I will see you tomorrow morning, why bother to run again?"

  This means that we are going to listen to politics again.

  The emperor didn't know what mood he was walking out of Renshou Palace.

  He told Wei Gonggong to retreat, and asked Yu Doctor Liang: "Is the Queen Mother's pulse really OK?"

  Yuan Liang said: "Yes, your majesty, the queen mother’s pulse is indeed better than before leaving the palace, and her body is much stronger."

  The emperor said suspiciously: "How can she be tough after living in the people for so long? What about her leprosy?"

  The Imperial Physician Liang shook his head: "There is no leprosy."

  The emperor's eyebrows frowned: "The absence of leprosy means she is cured, or does she never get it?"

"This..." Yu Doctor Liang didn't know how to judge. He was the one who diagnosed Leprosy for the Empress Dowager Zhuang at the beginning. He was sure that he did not make a mistake, but the leprosy is incurable, but the Empress Dowager was cured like a normal person. Different——

  Is there a **** who has cured the queen mother’s leprosy?

  No, only Yan Guo can cure leprosy.

   Forget it, it's useless to study these deeply now, the Queen Mother has come back safe and sound.

The situation was worse than the emperor expected. I thought that in the more than a year that the Queen Mother was away, the emperor had secretly cut off or conquered many of the Queen Mother Zhuang’s gang members, but she only returned to the palace this morning, and the situation in the imperial city was cleaned up in the afternoon. Cards.

  The emperor summoned a few elders urgently, but half of them said they could not come, and most of those who came were sloppy with him.

  Ming Ming, they also sworn allegiance to him the day before!

  The emperor Long Yan was furious, but couldn't really kill them. Then the Empress Dowager Zhuang would definitely come forward to rescue them, and they would be more loyal to the Empress Dowager.

The emperor was so angry that he summoned Laojijiu overnight.

  Old Jijiu left his servants in the rented shabby room. The emperor sent someone to summon him, and his servants would come to Bishui Hutong to inform him.

  In fact, the emperor had called him several times earlier. When the emperor was in power, he did not come, and when the emperor was in decline, he came.

The emperor was naturally moved. He walked out from behind the desk and held his hand: "I know that Aiqing is the one I can really trust!"

  Lao Jijiu's mood is very complicated. He understands that the time he has been waiting for has finally arrived. At this time, when he returns to the court, he will definitely receive the absolute trust and respect of his majesty, but he can't be happy.

   is not only for myself, but also for Rokuro.

  Rokuro's entry into the court as an official meant that he would be an enemy of the entire dealer, and he could not leave it alone.

  But can he still regard Zhuang Jinse as the former queen mother?

  The emperor said excitedly: "I can now enshrine you as the Imperial Prison to sacrifice wine, and the imperial decree will be announced to the world tomorrow!"

  Old Jijiu knelt down and bowed in a heavy salute: "Chen...Thank you Lord Longen!"

  Wei Gonggong gave the old sacrificial wine out of the palace.

  When passing by the Royal Garden, I met the Queen Mother's Luan.

  The Queen Mother Zhuang has a poor appetite, and her mood is a bit irritable. She is obviously still the same palace, but somehow, the Queen Mother feels lonely.

  Youyou deep palace, it’s not that I have never been lonely, but this time it also brings a little loneliness.

   "Niang Niang, can you have some more snacks? You eat too little for dinner." said a little palace lady holding a plate of delicate and delicious rose cake.

The Queen Mother Zhuang has no appetite.

  Lao Jijiu stood behind the flowers and fixedly looked at her.

  The queen mother Zhuang wearing a phoenix robe has a sharp aura, her eyes are like a sword, and she is like an out-of-the-sheath sword without speaking. No one dared to take her sharp edge.

  Duke Wei stopped beside Laojijiu, looked at Laojijiu, and then at the Queen Mother, and whispered, "Master Huo is going to see the Queen Mother?"

  Lao Jijiu shook his head.

  What about seeing you? She can't remember.

She will no longer use a knife stand on his neck to rob his private money, nor will she force him to go to the stove to make her brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, nor will she hide the half-eaten preserves in his house, not to mention When I go to play the leaf card, take him to the side and pour some tea.

   "Let's go." Old Jijiu said sadly.

  Gonggong Wei looked at the back of Old Jijiu, how did he feel that both Mr. Huo and the Queen Mother were a little down?
