I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

Qin Zhao met Emperor Yuan Qi in the Wuji Hall. Emperor Yuan Qi sat high on a bright yellow slum, and below stood several courtiers in official uniforms.

These courtiers kept their noses in their mouths and their hearts in their mouths. They lowered their heads and refused to say a word. Even when Qin Zhao came in, they refused to even raise their heads.

Qin Zhao wondered, Emperor Yuan Qi called these people here to...

Emperor Yuan Qi took a sip of tea and said to those people: "My lords, you are clan relatives. Now tell me about Qin Zhao's restoration of the status of prince. When should I explain to my ancestors?"

Qin Zhao thought in his heart: So he is from the Qin family.

One of the old men stood up and saluted Emperor Yuan Qi: "Return to Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with the matter of the sixth prince going to the ancestral temple to worship."

Emperor Yuan Qi obviously didn't expect that, the smile on his face disappeared: "What did you say?"

The old man fell to his knees with a "plop" and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince has been raised outside the palace since he was a child. It is already a scandal in the Tian family. Now his majesty wants to let the sixth prince come back and go to the ancestral temple to worship with great fanfare." , isn’t this spreading the scandal to the world?”

Emperor Yuan Qi pondered for a moment: "This matter..."

"Your Majesty, I think...it's not as good as this..." Another person stood up and knelt down and said: "It's better to announce to the public that the sixth prince has been unwell since he was a child and has been recuperating outside the palace. Now that he has grown up, he is specially taken back to the palace." Middle. As for going to the ancestral temple to pay homage, it will be fine to go with the princes when it is time for the annual festival.”

Emperor Yuan Qi looked at Qin Zhao, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

Qin Zhao pretended not to see the guilt-ridden eyes of Emperor Yuan Qi, she was startled innocently, and then opened her mouth: "Ah?"

But he made a mouth shape and made no sound.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Emperor Yuan Qi couldn't help smiling a little more in his eyes.

When Emperor Yuan Qi looked at the ministers below again, all the smiles in his eyes disappeared, he thought for a while, and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, then declare to the outside world that he was recuperating from an illness since childhood, and now I'm back... I can't wait until the day of the New Year's Eve, so I'll tell the Ministry of Rites that next month all the princes will go to the ancestral temple to worship, and the sixth child will also go!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Emperor Yuan Qi was certain, and the courtiers naturally spoke in unison.

After all the courtiers left, Emperor Yuan Qi waved to Qin Zhao, who had been silent all the time, and Qin Zhao obediently walked over.

Emperor Yuan Qi pointed to the soft person next to him: "Sit."

Qin Zhao was not polite to him, thanked him, and sat down in a proper manner.

Zhao Dewang snickered at the side, and immediately served tea to Qin Zhao.

Emperor Yuan Qi asked her: "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Qin Zhao rubbed his stomach and shook his head: "Not yet."

Emperor Yuan Qi looked at Zhao Dewang: "Order the imperial dining room to bring some sweet fruits."

Zhao Dewang went immediately.

Qin Zhao sat with Emperor Yuan Qi for a while, the heater in the hall was turned on too much, she was so hot all over, Emperor Yuan Qi coughed one after another, the whole person seemed to be out of breath come the same.

The people from the Imperial Dining Room soon arrived, brought her pastries of various colors and put them on the small rectangular table in front of her. The entire table was packed densely, and the pastries were all of different colors, red, green Ones, white ones, yellow ones, and they all have different patterns, so it can be seen that the master of the imperial dining room must have great cooking skills.

Qin Zhao looked at the snacks. She was indeed hungry and wanted to eat, but Emperor Yuan Qi didn't say anything, so she sat very reservedly and didn't move.

Emperor Yuan Qi saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, don't starve to death."

Qin Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Emperor Yuan Qi nodded: "Yes."

While Qin Zhao was eating snacks, Emperor Yuan Qi wanted to cough again, but seeing her eating, he held back. Zhao Dewang had quick eyesight and quick hands, and was about to send someone to send ginseng tea to Emperor Yuan Qi.

Emperor Yuan Qi drank ginseng tea, and finally looked better.

At this time, a little palace maid came in from outside the door, saluted Emperor Yuan Qi and said: "Master Guoshi just sent his disciple to report, saying that he will refine the longevity pill for His Majesty this month, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days."

Emperor Yuan Qi waved his hand: "I see."

Qin Zhao ate his mouthful of cakes calmly. They were sweet but not greasy. Instead, they tasted like various floral fragrances in his mouth. He didn't know how the imperial chef did it.

Just now...

The national teacher is actually refining longevity pills for Emperor Yuanqi?

Qin Zhao couldn't help thinking a little tangled in his heart. The original text seemed to say that Emperor Yuan Qi died suddenly in a hurry, and that on the day he was about to die, he suddenly collapsed in the big tent, spitting out big mouthfuls of black blood .

It sounds a bit like being poisoned.

"Is this fruit delicious?" Emperor Yuan Qi asked her with a smile.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes: "Well, it's delicious."

Emperor Yuanqi laughed loudly: "The imperial dining room is the same every year. I liked to eat these when I was a child. Later, when I went to the fiefdom in the north, I couldn't eat them anymore. Afterwards, I entered the capital again, and I ate them for several times. Day, I don’t want to eat anymore.”

Qin Zhao pretended not to understand: "Huh?"

Emperor Yuan Qi changed the subject: "I'm telling you, don't eat too much of what you like, or you won't want it next time."

Qin Zhao nodded, and obediently put back the snack he just picked up in his hand, and said to Emperor Yuan Qi, "Then I won't eat it."

Emperor Yuan Qi smiled, waved his hand, and asked people to remove all the things.

After the idle palace people had withdrawn, Emperor Yuan Qi said to her: "Zhao Dewang will send you to the palace later, and when you arrive at the palace, if you see what is missing, tell him."

Qin Zhao nodded.

Emperor Yuan Qi looked at her: "I'll find you a master later to teach you the lessons."

Qin Zhao nodded again: "En."

"About the empress..." Emperor Yuan Qi paused, and looked at her: "How do you think about the empress wanting to recognize you as her son?"

Qin Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Emperor Yuan Qi saw that she had always been pretending to be calm and old-fashioned on her small face just now, and now that the queen had finally changed her appearance, he couldn't help but find it very interesting, and said with a smile: "The queen is also caring about you, and today I personally leave Prince Qi's mansion took you back to the palace, her intention...do you understand?"

"Ah..." Qin Zhao shook his head, "I don't really understand."

Emperor Yuan Qi clapped his palms and smiled lightly, and sighed: "She told me that she saw you with a kind face, and fell in love with you. So she wanted to let me be the master and recognize you. Yesterday she asked for an order from me in advance, so early this morning I will go out of the palace to pick you up."

Qin Zhao could not help being distracted when he heard the wind starting to blow outside the house, and murmured, "Why does she take a fancy to me?"

After she said it, she felt something was wrong, but it was too late to take it back, but Emperor Yuan Qi smiled at her: "I asked her the same question before."

Qin Zhao looked up: "Then how did she answer?"

Emperor Yuan Qi said: "She said, you are the most different."

Qin Zhao frowned.

This answer is too ambiguous. As a human being, everyone looks different and is an independent individual. Therefore, Gu Junran's answer does have some sense of coping.

But it doesn't matter, things are already like this.

She entered the palace, met the emperor, and then followed Zhao Dewang to her bedroom.

Qin Zhao followed Zhao Dewang all the way to the north, and when the little eunuchs on the road saw her, they knelt down and saluted her, calling her "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince".

Perhaps the palace had already ordered something in advance, and she felt that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was not as impressive as Prince Xiao Qi, after all, there were five above the Sixth.

Qin Zhao followed Zhao Dewang into his palace, and the little eunuchs and maids inside knelt down in order. Qin Zhao waved his hand, and they stood up quickly again.

The decorations in the hall are not bad, they are carefully designed, and many of them are worth a lot of money, Qin Zhao is not very interested in these, Zhao Dewang laughed at the side: "Sixth Highness, what do you need in the future? , Just tell Xiao Shengzi that he is the slave's apprentice and the most obedient one, or you can come and tell the slave directly."

Qin Zhao nodded, and Zhao Dewang sent her there, and left with peace of mind.

After Zhao Dewang left, Qin Zhao glanced at the young eunuch standing beside him: "Xiao Shengzi?"

The little eunuch immediately saluted cleverly: "Yes, my servant greets His Highness the Sixth Highness."

Qin Zhao smiled: "Ang."

This was a greeting, and then Xiao Shengzi took the palace ladies and eunuchs to work. Qin Zhao didn't know what they were busy with. It stands to reason that the palace had already been cleaned and wiped, and everything was clean. , but there is still a little maid sweeping the invisible dust with a feather duster.

At noon, Gu Junran's people came.

When Qin Zhao heard the announcement, she thought it was Gu Junran who came in person. She was really afraid that Gu Junran would be able to tell her about his mother just by meeting her.

Fortunately not.

Gu Junran just asked someone to send her a bunch of scattered things, everything for food and play.

It's just... Gu Junran sent it back.

She can understand brocade clothes, and a box of delicate pastries in the shape of small fish, she can also understand.

but……

Qin Zhao picked up a rattle with no expression on his face, rang "DuangDuang" twice, and asked the big court lady named Jinli: "The empress gave me this?"

Jinli just saluted, and said: "Our master said that a mother should give her son a rattle. Sixth Highness, please turn inside, and there is also a longevity lock."

Qin Zhao: "..."
