After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Mu Zheng had no choice but to smile and shook his head.

This girl, in front of him, really became more and more unscrupulous.

She didn't treat Mu Zheng as an outsider, but she played into Mu Zheng's arms.

If Lin Youyi really became obedient and polite one day, then Mu Zheng would not be able to adapt.

Moreover, Mu Zheng especially likes to see Lin Youyi playing tricks.

As far as the wishful thinking in her heart was concerned, Mu Zheng could hear it clearly two streets away.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager's longevity was approaching, Lin Youyi sent the congratulatory gifts, along with the gifts from the officials, to Changning Palace early in the morning.

On the same day, Mu Zheng also entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

While chatting with Mu Zheng, the Empress Dowager listened to the old mother beside her, counting the birthday gifts sent by the officials.

Listening, the Empress Dowager slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and hummed lightly.

"It's like this every year. Apart from being expensive, these birthday gifts don't have any intentions. It's really better not to give them!"

"The empress mother is trying to instruct my son. She dislikes my son's birthday gift and has lost her mind!"

"You!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and glanced at Mu Zheng.

The old nanny, who was counting the congratulatory gifts, also spoke softly.

"In terms of value, no one is more valuable than the Seven Treasures Exquisite Stupa sent by the emperor. In terms of care, no one cares more than the one you have worked so hard to find, my lord. It was translated by Kumarajiva during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. "Miaofa Lotus Sutra". The empress dowager has been reading this scripture, but you, my lord, have not stopped looking for it. Your filial piety, my lord, is probably incomparable to anyone else!"

"Honoring the queen mother is a matter of course and righteousness, what is the right way!"

"My son and the emperor's filial piety, the Ai family certainly sees it. All good! All good!"

The Empress Dowager smiled in relief, and reached out to pat Mu Zheng's arm.

The old mammy glanced at the gift list in her hand, and then spoke again.

"Empress Dowager, apart from the emperor and the prince, there is a lady from the family this year who sent a very thoughtful gift. Thinking about it, it must have been a lot of thought."

"Oh, is it? It's not bad to think it can get into your eyes. What is it?"

"It's a Baifu quilt. Just now, my servant went to look at it. The quilt was soft to the touch, as light as a feather, exquisitely embroidered, and densely stitched. The servant touched it and found that the quilt was not filled with brocade cotton, but fine down. What's more, the quilt is embroidered with the Vajra scriptures, which is really done with great care."

In fact, Mu Zheng had already guessed it long before the old mammy opened her mouth.

What she wants to talk about must be the birthday gift that Lin Youyi prepared for the Queen Mother.

Afterwards, Mu Zheng talked about how Lin Youyi chose the Fushou and Charity Houses, and how to gather all the hundred blessings, seemingly lightly.

After listening to the Queen Mother, she really nodded with joy.

"Well, I really have a heart! I don't know, whose family's female relatives sent this birthday gift?"

"Back to the empress dowager, she is the fourth lady of Chengyang Houfu."

"It's her? Heh! It's your trick for her again, right?"

The joyful expression on the Empress Dowager's face suddenly sank, and immediately, she glanced at Mu Zheng with displeasure.

"The queen mother has wronged my son. When my son learned that the birthday gift prepared by that girl was Baifu, she had already prepared it. Moreover, she had to ask the Marquis of Chengyang to gather it together. Baifu satin."

"Hmph, it turns out that you are bullying others. What good fortune can you say about the Baifu quilt you got in this way? No education, no bottom line, this kind of Baifu quilt, don't worry about it!"

What the Queen Mother doesn't want to hear the most right now is Lin Youyi's name!
One must know that Mu Zheng has never disobeyed the Empress Dowager's will since he was so old.

However, ever since Mu Zheng got acquainted with Lin Youyi, the disasters happened one after another without stopping.

Not long ago, Mu Zheng contradicted the Empress Dowager in public for Lin Youyi.

Now, the relationship between their mother and son has just eased up, and this Lin Youyi jumped out at an untimely time. How can this not make the Queen Mother angry!

Mu Zheng wanted to make the empress dowager change her view of Lin Youyi, so he naturally persuaded her with gentle words.

"Mother, you have wronged that girl. She just asked the Marquis of Chengyang to select a few soldiers with high parents and complete brothers and sisters in the barracks, and find them in the city of Xiangjing, who have five generations living under the same roof, have happiness within a year, and cultivate both good fortune and longevity." A family with complete morality and goodness exchanged five grains for blessings and satin, just to add blessings and longevity to the mother."

The Empress Dowager was completely speechless by Mu Zheng's explanation.

The old nanny at the side softly persuaded.

"Empress Dowager, please forgive this old slave for talking too much. Although the Fourth Miss of the Marquis of Chengyang is not very old, she acts in a proper and considerate manner. The old slave heard that the time before, the emperor held a banquet for Confucius in the palace. , this fourth lady is ordered to dance in front of the imperial court."

"Unexpectedly, she was persecuted and almost lost a leg! But she didn't know it, and lived until the end of the dance! Moreover, after the incident, it was the fourth lady who tried her best to prevent Chengyang Hou from tracing the root cause. It can be regarded as A good boy who is sensible and general."

After the old mother finished speaking, she deliberately observed the complexion of the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked gloomy and cold, and glared at the old mother with displeasure.

"You know so much! You are the most cautious in your words and deeds on weekdays! You have said so many good things for others today, I'm afraid you have someone's instruction!"

"Hehe, empress dowager, you know this old slave best! Instead of saying that this old slave is speaking well of Miss Fourth of the Hou Mansion, it would be better to say that this old slave is speaking well of that bed of beauties!"

"This old slave also wants to add blessings and longevity to the Empress Dowager, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the exquisite and clear thoughts of the Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion. For the old slave, as long as it is for the good of the Empress Dowager, who will say good things for someone unintentionally? What's the matter?"

Hearing what the old mother said, although the empress dowager still looked very serious, the angry eyes just now had gradually faded away.

Mu Zheng also knew that if he wanted to change the Queen Mother's impression of Lin Youyi, he should not be in a hurry.

Therefore, he did not say any more.

After sitting with the queen mother for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

When the old mother sent Mu Zheng out of the palace, Mu Zheng thanked her specially.

"Thank you for your words of help just now, my majesty is very grateful."

"My lord, what are you doing? You're going to kill this old slave! To put it bluntly, this old slave watched you grow up, your lord. It's rare for you to have a caring person, and this old slave wants to watch you, too. My lord, you could have someone who knows the cold and the hot to serve you earlier."

"The queen mother..."

"The empress dowager advocates Buddhism, but no matter how rare the Buddhist treasure is, it may not be as good as the prince. You should start a family earlier and continue to have an heir for the royal family!"

"The king saves it, and the mother will be taken care of by Nanny Lao."
