The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

After the disaster relief work was arranged in an orderly manner, Lu Zhaolin finally had some free time here.

He stood up, stretched his muscles, and then said: "I haven't gone to pay my respects to the queen for a few days. Let's go to Shoukang Palace."

He didn't even take the royal chariot, but walked to Shoukang Palace with his people.

From Ganquan Palace to Shoukang Palace, you will pass through a small garden.

Now the flowers in the garden have faded, the trees have withered, and branches of "pear blossoms" are everywhere as far as the eye can see.

As soon as I entered the garden, I heard the sound of a piano. Listening to the sound, it was "Linjiang Immortal" played.

Lu Zhaolin frowned and glanced at Yao Xingde.

Yao Xingde's heart tightened, thinking to himself that someone in front of the emperor was short-sighted and leaked the news. He bowed and said, "I'll let someone go check it out right now."

Lu Zhaolin said nothing and continued to lead the people forward.

When passing the hexagonal pavilion in the small garden, I saw a slender woman sitting inside playing the piano. Looking from the side and behind, for a moment, he thought he was back a few years ago, and the name on the tip of his tongue was about to come out in the next moment.

When the person playing the piano heard the movement of the imperial driver, he stood up, turned around and saluted. It turned out to be Dong Cainv.

"Concubine, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Dong Cainu bowed down with a graceful figure.

Lu Zhaolin felt a little disappointed, but also a little indescribably relieved.

At the Wanshou Festival family banquet, he knew what kind of trick Dong Cainu was going to play, and he didn't know who had suggested it to her.

It's a pity that he doesn't like this.

Not to mention that Yu Zhaoyi himself was still staying well in the palace, so there was no need for him to find a substitute for himself.

Even if Yu Zhaoyi is gone, finding a substitute still makes him feel sick.

Dong Cainu was worried and didn't know why His Majesty didn't wake up.

Her thighs were so sore that she was about to lose her support. Only then did she hear two heavenly words: "Get up."

Then, Lu Zhaolin asked her: "Don't you feel tired from imitating other people?"

Dong Cainu did not expect that he would be so straightforward. After being stunned for a moment, she denied it: "I have not imitated others. I wonder why your majesty said this?"

Lu Zhaolin sneered and was too lazy to argue with her on this topic.

He looked at her body and asked, "Aren't you cold?"

It was a cold day, but Dong Cainu only wore a single coat. Lu Zhaolin felt a biting chill as he looked at it.

Dong Cainu felt happy and secretly guessed, is His Majesty caring about her?

But there was just a faint smile on her face and she said: "It's cold at first, but when I played the piano, my whole body and mind were devoted to it, as if I couldn't feel the cold and heat of the outside world."

Lu Zhaolin said: "In that case, then you can wear this dress and play here for an hour before going back."

Dong Cainu was stunned, but she saw Lu Zhaolin turned around and told Yao Xingde: "Leave someone here to keep an eye on her."

Then, he went to Shoukang Palace without looking back.

Shoukang Palace was very lively at this time.

Jiang Shiying was a frequent visitor, and it happened that Fang Zhaorong and Ning Bin also came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

A few people were sitting in the conservatory, cutting window grilles together and chatting about homely matters.

It was Jiang Shiying's first time to cut window grilles.

Oddly enough, she is also a very clever person and has always been very skillful with her hands. But with the scissors and red paper in her hands, she just refused to obey.

The Queen Mother was teaching her herself, and she guaranteed to teach her.

At this time, she looked at the pile of waste paper in her hand and said, "Qingshan, come and teach Ah Ying. The Ai family has given up, and the Ai family can't teach her."

Qingshan smiled and said "Promise", moved closer to Jiang Shiying, and patiently guided her.

At this time, Ning Bin finished cutting another piece.

Fang Zhaorong came over to take a look and praised: "Ah, what a lively puppy."

After the words fell, the Queen Mother became extremely curious and asked Ning Bin to take two steps forward and carefully look at the red paper in her hand.

Jiang Shiying also leaned over and looked at the puppy that Ning Bin had cut, and then at the messy thing that she had cut, and sighed: "Oh, I wish my hands were half as dexterous as Ning Bin's. .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall laughed.

Fang Zhaorong said: "Sister Ning Bin, please teach me how to cut this puppy. Jin'er just raised a little Jingba a few days ago, and he loves it so much. If I cut a puppy for him, he will Designated to like.”

The Jin'er that Fang Zhaorong was talking about was the third prince under her knee, Lu Qijin, who was exactly six years old now.

Ning Bin said: "Not to mention the third prince, Xun'er has been talking about being his third brother's puppy for the past two days."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother smiled and said: "It's just a little Jingba. If Xun'er likes it, just ask Baofang to send him one too."

Ning Concubine said: "It's not that I don't want him to raise him, it's actually the time when Xun'er's hands are neither light nor heavy. I'm afraid that he accidentally pulled the puppy and hurt it, and then bit him again. He takes one bite. He really likes it. It’s not impossible to raise him in two years when he is older.”

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "As a mother-in-law, you are very thoughtful."

As she spoke, Ning Bin had already moved closer to Fang Zhaorong, giving her step-by-step instructions on how to cut.

Soon, the red paper under Fang Zhaorong's hand turned into a cute little Pekingese.

Fang Zhaorong bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Master Ning, for your guidance."

Ning Bin said: "Sister Fang, this disciple is very smart, and I am very happy to be my teacher."

Jiang Shiying sighed and said, "Well, in this entire hall, I am probably the only one who cannot make Master feel happy the most."

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.

At this time, the eunuch heard a message saying that His Majesty was here.

Jiang Shiying quickly put down the red paper and scissors, stood up, and took two quick steps outside.

Then he suddenly realized that he was in Shoukang Palace, so he stopped abruptly and saluted, "I have seen your majesty."

Lu Zhaolin was ready to hug her into his arms. He had already stretched out his arms. At this time, he helped her up and said, "No courtesy."

Fang Zhaorong and Ning Bin looked at each other and stood up to salute him. Lu Zhaolin shouted.

The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother smiled and said: "I really can't cut it anymore, but luckily the emperor came and quickly put down the scissors and red paper."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter again, Jiang Shiying said with a blush on her face: "Oh, Queen Mother, please don't expose me."

Lu Zhaolin didn't know what they were joking about, but looking at the harmonious atmosphere, he felt that the unpleasantness he had just felt in the small garden was instantly dispelled by the sunshine.

He pulled Jiang Shiying forward a few steps, and then bowed slightly to the Queen Mother: "My son, please give my regards to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at him angrily: "What are you doing with all the emperor's gifts? Come and sit down."

The Queen Mother sat on the soft couch at the top, and Lu Zhaolin sat on the other side of the soft couch, asking Jiang Shiying to sit directly next to him.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother had a smile in her eyes and asked, "Have you finished all the things ahead?"

Lu Zhaolin said: "I'm almost busy. My son is unfilial and I haven't been able to come to greet you these days."

The Queen Mother said: "Political matters are important. Besides, if you don't come, I am here every day. Aren't Fang Zhaorong, Ning Bin and the others also there? The Shoukang Palace of the Ai family is not lonely at all."

Lu Zhaolin said: "They honor their mothers on behalf of their sons, and it is their sons who should reward them."

He said "them", but his smiling eyes only fell on Jiang Shiying, as if he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes.

Then, he ordered Yao Xingde: "Send a box each of the tourmaline beads and cat's eye stones that we just brought in a few days ago to Fang Zhaorong, Chun Zhaoyuan, and Ning Bin's palace."

The three of them thanked each other for the reward.

Lu Zhaolin asked: "Just now outside the door, I heard laughter all over the room. What are you talking about? You are so happy?"

The Queen Mother said: "Qingshan, please bring those 'window grilles' that A Ying just cut and show them to the emperor."

"Oops." Hearing this, Jiang Shiying lowered her head and looked at the ground, and said while looking at it: "There is no crack in the ground of Shoukang Palace, so that Ying can go in and hide."

After the words fell, everyone laughed again.

At this time, Aunt Qingshan had already brought over all the paper-cut "works" Jiang Shiying had just made.

Lu Zhaolin took it, put it on his lap, and then picked it up and looked at it one by one. He had already made up his mind that no matter what her haircut looked like, he would always praise her.
