After dawn, I still couldn't sleep, my body was tired, but my spirit was even more excited.Seeing that there seemed to be some movement in the holy hall, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out, got in front of his mother before the ministers, and called "A Niang" at the door without waiting for the palace guards to announce. It came from inside, melodious and melodious, after a long time: "Come in, you are still sick, why are you up so early?"

I put up my skirt and went inside, and from a distance, I saw my mother standing inside with loose clothes. After a hasty obeisance, I got up: "I have seen all the things in the wooden box that Auntie gave me, and I am here to report to Auntie." "It's not that important, it's just that I didn't sleep last night, the palace people had to report to my mother, if she blamed Shouli for this, it would be bad, why don't I say it myself, so as not to hurt the little guy.

My mother squinted at me: "Just for this?"

Seeing that she was in a good mood, I leaned over and said with a smile, "I just finished watching it after staying up all night, so I came here to talk to Auntie." My mother immediately frowned and said, "Whenever you don't see it well, you just want to read it." At this time—is it because of observance?"

I don't know where Shouli has offended my mother, and why all the bad things can be brought to his head. I complained in my heart, and hurriedly argued: "His son went to bed early, so what is he doing? But I sleep too much during the day." , Sleep less at night, look for something at random, and if you don’t think about it, you will be fascinated.”

The mother was still a little displeased, but she didn't say any more, she just said: "Now that I've finished reading, I'll ask someone to get some more for you. Don't read it today, I'll take care of it in the palace, don't come out at will."

I hurriedly said: "Once I caught a cold, I'm much better now, don't make such a fuss, being confined in the temple, how boring."

My mother glared at me: "If it's boring, I'll write the anecdote with Wan'er and skip it. It just so happens that many states and counties have sent a lot of birthday memorials, and it's time to use you." While talking, I got dressed and left me in Qisheng In the hall, he went out by himself in a chariot.

Wan'er was also left here, I looked at her, and she ordered the palace people to pack up her mother's things, so she came to ask me: "Princess, should I go to lie on the couch for a while, or read some memorials first? There are more books than last year, I am afraid it will take some time, or you can take it back and read it slowly."

Memorials are the country's top priority. Even memorials such as birthday celebrations and auspicious offerings are counted and kept by special personnel. For example, those who extract the summary for my mother, such as me or Fengge Luantai, can only be assigned to The past memorials are also kept in the secret pavilion, and they are not allowed to be read by the prince or prince, but Wan'er asked me to take them back——I glanced at her suspiciously, and said vaguely: "Let's just watch it here."

Wan'er knew my concerns, so she just smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I will ask them to set up a seat for the princess." Go out and give some instructions, and when she comes in, she nods to me, and I will follow her to the side hall.There is an armchair and a large table in the middle, which is obviously the mother's seat, and there are several seats on each side, only the last seat on the west side and the first seat on the east side have a desk.

There is a small incense burner on the left of the last seat on the west side, and the remaining incense in the burner is not exhausted; the book case on the east side is obviously newly set up. In addition to the seats, there is a thick brocade mat on that one. On the small table, there is a pot of freshly brewed tea, a plate of hot four-color pastries, and a plate of candied sweets. A stove and an incense burner are placed on the table.

It was halfway through February, so it wasn't very cold, but five large copper stoves were lit in the hall, one in the center and one in each of the four corners, to keep the room warm—but the windows on both sides were all open, The small door leading to the outside room was also left open, not only because the charcoal gas would hurt people, but also because the hall was too hot.

Wan'er and I sat down on the left and on the right, each doing their own things before the case, but she was meticulous, kneeling in front of the case, except for the hand holding the pen, her whole body was almost motionless.However, I was aroused by the warm and fragrant heat in the room, and I felt a little drowsy. I read a few volumes, my eyelids were heavy, and I looked at Wan'er embarrassedly, but she smiled and said: "The queen mother has ordered that if the princess If you are tired, go to the back and lie down on the couch for a while."

Following her guidance, I saw a room separated by a screen behind the armchair, and there were couch, chair, dressing table and other things inside, so I fell down on the couch, and when I woke up, I heard someone's voice, it turned out that it was my mother coming back Yes, meet the minister outside.This kind of occasion is never something I should participate in, but I am here again, feeling a little panic in my heart, so I got up and went to the side of the screen, and there was a palace attendant standing there, and when he saw me, he quickly waved his hand , Let me go back, I saw that my mother knew that I was behind, so I felt relieved, moved back quietly, sat on the couch and listened to them.

There are not many people outside, the person who is speaking now has a high-pitched voice and full of energy, one can tell it is Pei Yan: "The Empress Dowager's mother comes to the world, she should show it to the world and even her father-in-law, how can she be private to her relatives, and only see Lu's defeat? "

Recently, these prime ministers all love Empress Lu, they are afraid that their mother will become the ruler in the court and break the rules of the court, but they don't know that their mother will even be the emperor in the future, so why are they afraid of "the defeat of the Lu family"?Sure enough, she heard her mother speak leisurely, and said calmly: "The Lu family appoints the living with authority, and seals up relatives, but I only chase after the dead. What harm does it do to the country and family?"

Pei Yan was in a hurry, and said in a high voice: "Preventing the passing of time and taking precautions is the long-term way for a sage."

Mother sneered: "In the past, Empress Lu, all the political affairs in the court came from Zhu Lu, but now, Wu Chengsi just inherited an ancestral Zhou Guogong, and Wu Sansi was appointed as the successor, and he was recently dismissed from political affairs. Do you think there is something comparable between my Wu family and the Lu family back then?"

Pei Yan was silent, I held my breath involuntarily, paying attention to catch the movement outside, but I couldn't hear anything.The hall was as quiet as night, except for the clinking of tea bowls when my mother drank tea, there was no other sound.

After a long time, until I couldn't hold back any longer, Pei Yan finally opened his mouth again when he secretly took a breath: "That's it, minister, obey your orders."

Mother put down the tea bowl and made a muffled "bang" sound: "Do you have any objections, gentlemen?"

I heard Wu Chengsi's voice resounding and authentic: "I have no objection." Then there were several other people echoing sparsely.

There was a bit of complacency in the mother's voice: "Since there is no objection, let someone handle it." When the person left, he specially called Pei Yan: "King Huo is in the capital, Mr. Pei will not walk around with his in-laws?"

Pei Yan said: "Recently, things are busy, I have been staying in the province, and I haven't returned home in time, let alone moving around with relatives and friends."

The mother laughed and said: "King Huo is an elder of the clan, he is very old, and he is also Qing's in-laws. It is rare for him to come to Beijing. No matter how busy he is, he always wants to see him."

Pei Yan promised to leave again.

I figured that everyone was almost gone, Fang poked his head from behind the screen, and saw my mother sitting there waving to me, so he hurried out, was about to salute, but was waved away by her first: "I want to chase after the king's ancestors, What do you think about setting up seven temples of Wu's family and making them ancestral halls, and let Zheng Bo follow Wu Sansi to worship the Lord?"

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that my mother was going to send Zheng Bo back to Wenshui on business, so I came here to ask my opinion, and said with a smile: "It would be great if he could do things for Auntie and offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Wu family. gone."

My mother corrected me: "He is not doing things for me, he is doing things for the country."

I said: "I know that A Niang's mother is here in the world, and A Niang's private affairs are also the state's public affairs. However, Aye and A Niang are originally one body. Although A Niang's father is called a grandfather, he is really like a grandfather to me. Although I don't follow A Niang's surname, how can a blood relative be distinguished by a mere surname? My selfishness is to treat the Wu family just like the Li family, so offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the Wu family, although it is a public matter of the country, is also my private matter, son-in-law Since it is doing this matter for the country, it is also doing my private affairs for me, and I am really happy with my public and selfish intentions."

My mother laughed when I said it, but said grimly: "The words are beautiful. I asked you to do some small things. I didn't write a word. She is already asleep and can't wake up."

I said: "Naturally, things should be prioritized. For example, birthday celebrations and other things are common practice. Don't worry about it later or later. Pursuing ancestors is a big thing, and you can't be careless. That's why I even heard it in my dream. Woke up all of a sudden, and hurriedly came to help Auntie's worries—it's a pity that Auntie can make her own decisions and don't need me."

My mother patted me: "I gave you another box, take a good look at it, don't be lazy. I will go back to the city tomorrow, and you will go back with me, or go home and stay for a few days before entering the palace?"

I naturally said: "My son will accompany A Niang back to the palace." Thinking of A Huan, my heart and eyes are full of joy.
