I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Late at night, in the bedroom of Emperor Jingde, the Queen Mother suddenly came to the door with a stressful attitude and a plate of exquisite pastries.

Emperor Jingde and You Zhenzhen tidied up a little and then welcomed the Queen Mother in. With a standard smile, he said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, why are you here late at night?"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Jingde, raised her voice, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are joking. As a mother, it is not uncommon for me to want to see my son."

Emperor Jingde smiled and said: "What the Queen Mother said is that it is late at night and the Queen Mother is not in good health, so it is best to rest early."

"Your Majesty still has filial piety! She still cares about the health of the Ai family. It doesn't matter, the Ai family will go back and rest after giving you snacks!" The Queen Mother showed a warm expression and brought out the snacks.

"Look, Your Majesty, Aijia, I still remember that when you were young, you loved to eat the golden cake from Daming Mountain. The osmanthus blossoms are especially brilliant this year, and the golden cake is also very delicious! When you were four or five years old, you would eat it every time you came back. They are clamoring to eat it. Try it now!”

Emperor Jingde accepted the golden cake handed over by the Empress Dowager. He did not eat it directly, but handed it to You Zhenzhen, "Thank you for your trouble, Queen Mother. Come, Queen, let me taste what the Queen Mother wants."

You Zhenzhen cursed in her mind what the hell this old immortal was doing here, and her face was indeed smiling like a flower, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"

After a while of pleasantries, the Queen Mother finally said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning has won the first prize in the Autumn Hunt this time. Do you plan to let him command the army?"

Emperor Jingde's smile continued, "Ying'er is already twenty-four this year. He has no fiefdom and little money. In addition, he suffers from a hidden illness. I only have three sons. I can't favor one over the other. He is just a minor official and has thousands of sons. It’s good to let people around you to experience and practice.”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Have you forgotten the palace coup four years ago? Do you still dare to let him take charge of the army?"

"Children are young and energetic, and there will always be times when they are deceived and make mistakes."

"So, Your Majesty must protect him?" The Queen Mother said with hidden anger.

Emperor Jingde said calmly: "Well, it's not right for the Queen to say that. Ying'er made a mistake and I imprisoned him for four years. He has already repented. Besides, the prince doesn't often do this kind of thing." Do it?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The Crown Prince is not so imprudent in his actions."

Emperor Jingde chuckled, but his tone became inexplicably sinister, "Oh? Not long ago, the prince also transferred the Cangzhou army away from the station. I was frightened. I thought he was going to force the palace!"

Queen Mother: "..."

The Queen Mother cursed the incompetent prince inexplicably in her heart. She heard people say that there was treasure in the mountain, so she secretly mobilized her troops and trampled the mountain to the ground.

Emperor Jingde continued, "Empress, they are still young after all, and Ying'er suffers from a hidden disease. I really can't bear it! Besides, if Ying'er is asked to find something to do, won't the Empress's younger brothers be quieter? ?"

"If Ying'er doesn't take this position, who will it fall into? Is it the mother's seventh brother and his famous wife? Is it the mother's fourth brother and the Wei family who are eyeing it?"

There was something in Emperor Jingde's words that made the Queen Mother silent for a while.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's hesitation, Emperor Jingde hurriedly gave her a fatal blow, "Where is my younger brother who I have never met before?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was shocked and stood up immediately, "You!" After a moment of panic, the Queen Mother regained her composure, "What nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty! You are the only son of the Queen Mother and the daughter of the late Emperor. How can you have a younger brother?" Say it!"

Emperor Jingde stopped as soon as he saw the opportunity. His original intention was just to remind them that when their strength was not strong enough to shake the Zhuo family, they could only stay dormant.

Emperor Jingde felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't know how long this undignified hibernation would last, and when would dawn come in this endless dark night.

There are many factors to consider behind the Queen Mother, and Meng Ying and the northern forces behind him are only one of them.

No one wants to break this superficial calm. If this balance is broken one day, troubled times will come, and then absolute military strength will be the only way to win.

In this seemingly peaceful day, no matter which side, the only way out is to make every effort to develop its power.

The Queen Mother felt a little heavy, and could no longer keep her calm face. She shook her head and said to Emperor Jingde: "My son, the only Queen Mother is you! You and I are mother and son, and we have the most intimate and strong relationship in the world. Mother. I really don’t understand why the most well-behaved, sensible and obedient child in my childhood doesn’t listen to me today?”

When Emperor Jingde heard this, he only felt a little ironic. He laughed softly, stood up, and paced in front of the Queen Mother, with his hands behind his back. "The Queen Mother used to say that her son had a habit when he was a baby, that is, he could only sleep once at night. , if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she will never be able to sleep again and will cry until dawn, which will make the queen very sad."

"Mother, my son is ashamed. To this day, my son has not gotten rid of this bad habit."

Emperor Jingde paused, and his voice became much thicker. He said, "As long as you wake up, you will not be able to fall asleep until dawn."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became cold. She narrowed her eyes and raised her tone a little higher, "Really? Since Your Majesty is not willing to lie down and enjoy the blessings, then the only choice is to be awake and suffer..."

"It's late at night. Mother, please go back and have a rest early."

The Queen Mother's persuasion was fruitless, so she had to give up. When she walked to the door, she heard the voice of Emperor Jingde.

"Mother, my son has grown up and doesn't like sweets. There is no need to give him this golden cake in the future."

After the Queen Mother left, You Zhenzhen gave Emperor Jingde a thumbs up, "Your Majesty is so majestic today!"

She stuffed the gold cake without any politeness at all.

Emperor Jingde was speechless, "Aren't you afraid of being poisonous if you eat so much?"

"It's free if you don't eat it. Anyway, when your majesty handed it to me, I ate it all. If it were poisonous, I would have been poisoned to death!"

Emperor Jingde frowned slightly, "Is the Queen a little too gluttonous recently? She has a bad temper!"

You Zhenzhen continued to eat and replied, "It's not bad!"

Emperor Jingde felt that the matter was not simple, so he immediately sent for the imperial doctor.

After three or five imperial physicians took turns diagnosing the pulse, they came to a unanimous conclusion.

The queen is happy!

After Bai Zhi took a comfortable bath and applied the medicine, she came to Meng Ying's door.

Xiao Yang stood at the door, smiled at her, and then reached out to push the door open for her.

Bai Zhi stopped him. She didn't know what kind of expression she should use to face Meng Ying, and she didn't know whether he should continue to put his warm face on his cold butt.

When she was hesitating, Xiao Yang reassured her, "My lord, he has been thinking of you all the way."

This sentence is true.

Bai Zhi calms down and faces the problem head-on, which can solve most of people's worries.

Bai Zhi mustered up her courage and pushed the door open.
