The queen mother's return to the palace is another big event for the harem.

Although the current empress dowager does not intervene in the affairs of the harem and rarely stays in the palace, after all, she is the emperor's mother and has no less power than the queen. Some concubines had no way in front of the emperor, so they would go to the front of the mother to find their presence.

If you can be loved by the Queen Mother, even if you don't have a holy favorite, you can still be considered a guarantee in this deep palace.

And don’t look at the Queen Mother, although she doesn’t care much, but if there is an unresolved case in front of her, she will still come forward to solve it. The methods are very powerful and awesome.

But if you say that there are a few people in this palace who really like the queen mother, that’s not necessarily true.

After all, she was the last champion of the palace fight, not a good person. She could not remember how many lives and blood she had in her hands.

People in the royal family have endless wealth and power, but they can never enjoy the affection and warmth that ordinary people have.

In her later years, the empress dowager worshipped Buddha. When she was old, she began to feel fear and guilt when she recalled all the things in the past. Buddhism in particular pays attention to karma, and the queen mother is always worried that she will go to **** after death.

When Lin Di had just taken the throne, she actually intentionally stayed in the harem to help. After all, she knows what kind of storms and waves these women can bring out. With her in charge, the concubines will always be safer.

But it was probably the emperor who had enthroned her greatest wish. As soon as she relaxed, she began to dream of the people who died at her own hands that year. They couldn't sleep at night, which was frightening.

Finally, after listening to the advice of the eminent monk, she cruelly moved directly to Wutai Mountain where the Great Buddha was seated. She didn't know if it was really useful or for psychological reasons. She really stopped having nightmares, so she gradually settled down in Wutai Mountain and devoted herself to paying homage to the sins.

She was born beautiful when she was young, and she was a very unassuming beauty. Now that she is old, her skin is slack, and her facial features look very prominent, especially her cheekbones are high, showing a bit harsh and sharp appearance, which makes people feel scared at first sight .

The queen mother remembered that she scared and cried her little grandson. She cried as soon as she hugged her, which made the concubines panic.

Later, the grandchildren gradually grew up. Although they stopped crying, they were respectful and in awe in front of her. They were not close to her at all.

It seems that this is also her life, old age can not enjoy the happiness of children and grandchildren.

But for so many years with the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern, the queen mother also looked away, but didn't take it to heart. After a long journey, I finally returned to the long-lost palace.

Lin Di naturally brought a group of concubines and princes and princesses to greet him. When the queen mother got out of the chariot, she glanced casually and found that her grandchildren had grown a lot taller.

It's just that the eldest little girl stood next to the fourth and prince. She was the shortest of all children, with two tugging sticks on top of her head, and she was secretly looking at her with a pair of clever eyes.

The other grandchildren lowered their heads and looked down, with a respectful look. Only she seemed to be afraid of nothing. When she met her eyes, she hid back like a frightened animal, but there was no fear in her eyes. , Only curious.

The Queen Mother thought, could this be the little five mentioned in the emperor's letter?

Before she could take a closer look, everyone bowed to her. The empress dowager was old, Xijing, and traveled a long distance. After she received the ceremony, she returned to the Yiqing Palace with a sore back and back, and gave an verbal order that there is nothing to do to please peace, so as not to be annoying.

She had just returned to the palace today and was physically exhausted. Everyone naturally didn't dare to offend. She would wait until later if she had anything to do. After receiving it, they went back.

Lin Jingyuan accompanied Lin Feilu back to the Mingyue Palace, and casually folded a flower branch and danced in his hand, dancing and saying: "Little deer, how about it? Is the emperor's grandmother terrible?"

Lin Feilu said, "No."

Lin Jingyuan was not convinced: "Why not! There is no one among us juniors who is not afraid of her. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Da Huang!" He shouted to Lin Ting, who was walking in front, "Brother Da Huang! Are you also afraid of your grandmother? "

Lin Ting turned back and warmly rebuked: "Don't talk nonsense, the emperor's grandmother treats us very well, as a junior, she will only be in awe."

Lin Jingyuan spread his hands: "Listen, Brother Dahuang is a euphemism for fear."

Lin Ting smiled helplessly, but didn't refute it.

Lin Feilu stretched his hand across the flowers on the roadside, and said softly, "I'm not afraid anyway."

Lin Jingyuan looked at her lovingly, and sighed quietly, "Those who don't know are fearless."

His mind turned quickly, and he quickly put the topic behind him, and turned excitedly: "Little deer, your birthday is two days away. Guess what gift I have prepared for you?"

Lin Feilu thought about it seriously: "Writing brush? Inkstone? Ancient book? Gilt ink?"

Lin Jingyuan: "...So these terrible things are gifts to you?"

He thought about the nine-layer streamer in his palace that had been brought in from outside the palace with great effort, and felt that this gift might disappoint Sister Xiaolu.

Lin Feilu knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his annoyed expression. He rubbed his hand and crooked his eyes and said sweetly: "I like everything Brother Jingyuan gives!"

Lin Jingyuan straightened his waist in contentment.

...

Although the Queen Mother had an oral message, most people were not allowed to bother, but early the next morning, the queen and two concubines took their children to please peace.

Concubine Xi was still deserted. Although she had no heirs and no desire to fight for favor, Xi Gui was full of goalkeepers, and the queen mother treated her very generously.

Lin Ting and Lin Qing are the empress dowager's favorite grandchildren, one is meek and the other is elegant, and they are both courteous and studious. They are the benchmarks of the royal family.

The two bowed their heads and stood aside. Even when the Queen Mother called people to come and hold her hands to look at them, they looked cautious. The Queen Mother didn't care, and a few words told them to retreat.

They also asked the queen and the two noble concubines if there were any major events in the harem in the past year.

When it comes to major events, it is estimated that only Princess Mei has been demoted.

The queen said briefly.

The queen mother knew how much the emperor loved Concubine Mei. In fact, she doesn't like a woman like Concubine Mei very much. She didn't know how many such weak little white flowers were killed in the harem, so when she looked at Concubine Mei, she would remember the bad things before.

But she couldn't hold her son like it, and her old lady didn't want to be offensive, so she didn't say much.

Now I heard that Concubine Mei had fallen out of favor, but I was surprised. She knew her son's urinary sex. After listening to the queen's story, she quickly grasped the key point-his appearance was completely ruined.

Yeah, I got it.

In the afternoon, San Fei also brought the child over.

Once the four concubine changed into the third concubine, the queen mother felt a lot pleasing to the eye. Lin Jiwen and Lin Jingyuan were arrogant and domineering with their teeth and claws. When they arrived in front of the emperor's grandmother, they acted like cats, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.

After the queen mother greeted the two emperor grandchildren, she smiled and looked at Lin Nianzhi who was aside: "I haven't seen him for more than a year, but Nianzhi is much quieter than before. It's just that her complexion doesn't look good, isn't she healthy?"

Lin Nianzhi raised his head and glanced at the emperor's grandmother, then quickly lowered her head: "Xie the emperor's grandmother's care, the granddaughter just hasn't rested well recently, it's OK."

The queen mother said intently: "It's not a trivial matter that you don't have a good rest, Concubine Hui, you should have more snacks as a mother. Go back to the palace and call the emperor to see and prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and sleep.

Concubine Hui respectfully should be.

Among the four concubines in the past, the queen mother liked the concubine Hui the most. One is because she was the first to give birth to the emperor. Although she was a princess, she was also very likable. Secondly, the Queen Mother admired Hui's concubine for not fighting for the calm and low-key temperament. If there were more concubines like her in the harem, she would feel a lot of peace.

After Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu retired, the Queen Mother left Concubine Hui as usual for a little while.

As soon as Concubine Hui sat down, her eyes were a little red, and she said in a warm voice, "You should also come back to the palace more. Wutai Mountain is too deserted and there is no one to speak with you."

The queen mother was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch with a blanket on her legs, holding the Buddhist beads in her hands, and smilingly said: "When people are old, they love peace and live in this palace, but they feel noisy."

The two said a few words, and the queen mother asked: "The emperor still doesn't go to your palace often?"

Concubine Hui looked down and smiled: "Your Majesty is busy with political affairs, and I don't go to the harem very often this year. But if you know, your Majesty will come once a month."

The queen mother said: "That's not bad. Although Nianzhi is a princess, she is said to be caring. It is many times better than that of the fourth child. You entered the East Palace early, and you have been with the emperor for a few years. We need to help."

Concubine Hui nodded.

She has always known what the Queen Mother likes her, and she never oversteps her actions. She only picks what she likes when she speaks.

The queen mother suddenly asked: "Have you seen the five princesses?"

Concubine Hui was taken aback and nodded: "I have seen it. The fifth princesses have a good relationship with Nianzhi and often come to my palace." Before the queen mother asked again, she smiled and said: "The fifth princesses always send things to Yaohua Palace, what? Hand cream sachets and the like. Nianzhi received a gift from her sister and liked it, so she also gave her brocade gold jade. The two children are sisters."

She said this very wonderfully, but the queen mother heard another meaning.

The five princesses gave away little worthless things.

Lin Nianzhi returned all precious things.

It is inevitable that there is a suspicion of taking advantage.

On the way back to the palace, she had already inquired clearly from the palace people she was taking care of. It turned out that the five princesses were the daughter of Lan Guiren who gave birth to the foolish prince. There has been no such person before, which shows that the status and life of the five princesses in the palace are not satisfactory.

Then her behavior to please Lin Nianzhi is not surprising.

Only at a young age, there is such a scheming, the Queen Mother is unavoidable. I also thought that within a year, I would be able to change from an unknown princess to a state banquet for the emperor, and his eyes faded.

Concubine Hui didn't say much, she had always acted vigilantly, seeing the Queen Mother's eyes overflowing with dislike, even if today's goal was achieved. After a cup of tea, he retired and left.

Today, I received the concubine above the concubine, and the Yiqing Palace no longer let people in, so as not to disturb the queen mother's rest.

After dinner, the queen mother went out for a walk with the help of the palace people.

In the late spring, the palace is full of flowers and beautiful scenery. I am used to seeing the deserted scenes in Mount Wutai, and occasionally I am very satisfied to see the wealth and wealth of this world.

When I passed by Haitang Garden, I heard a quarrel, the voice was fine and broken, and it sounded a bit like a girl's voice.

The Queen Mother walked over slowly, and saw a small figure behind the shadow of Begonia Flower, with two twitches on the top of her head, a little familiar.

It's just that this little figure is wiping tears, and while belching, he said intermittently in a little milky voice: "You have... you haven't paid attention to me for ninety-eight days."

The queen mother didn't know that there was another person in front of her, and she changed her position in surprise, only to see a person standing not far away, looking back, she looked like Lin Nianzhi.

As I was looking at it, I heard Lin Nianzhi's dull voice: "I didn't ignore you."

The little milk voice sobbed and retorted her: "You did! I waved to you and you ignored me! I called you and you ignored me! You just saw me, and you ran..."

The more she talked, the more sad she got, and finally sat on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Lin Nianzhi stamped his feet twice and had to turn around and walk back. When he came to the little girl, he squatted down and took out the handkerchief in his arms to wipe her tears: "Oh, don't cry! Stop crying... Lin Feilu! Not allowed Cried!"

The cry stopped immediately.

The little girl pursed her lips aggrievedly and looked up at her pitifully.

The expression on Lin Nianzhi's face was extremely complicated, and she pinched the handkerchief to wipe away the tears from her face, then pulled her up from the ground, patted her ashes.

Lin Feilu tugged at her cuffs, eagerly: "Sister...Are you not angry with me?"

Lin Nianzhi said impatiently, "I am not angry with you, I am angry with myself!"

She seemed to be unable to understand, and looked at her with her head tilted.

Lin Nianzhi looked at her anxiously for a while, and finally held her hand in frustration: "Forget it, I'll send you back." Then he taught her: "You follow me so far, and you are not afraid of being caught by the bad guys!"

The little girl held her hand happily, her crying eyes were watery, but she didn't hide her happiness: "I'm not afraid with the eldest sister emperor here!"

Lin Nianzhi: "Humph!"

Lin Feilu: "Hey."

The two gradually walked away, and the queen mother stood behind the shadow of Haitang, her lips bend for some time.

She turned around and said to the palace man who had served for many years: "These two children remind me of my sister Ying and me." Her tone turned low, "It's a pity that sister Ying was killed by an adulterer and went too far. early……"

She didn't want to say more, and turned around: "Go back."
