green bamboo dream

Seeing that the eldest grandma was trembling with anger at what she said as usual, Aunt Gao's eyes showed a look of satisfaction—the eldest grandma is not in good health, so she can't be too angry.

But in the blink of an eye, she saw her breasts heaving twice, she even smiled slightly, and said flatly: "Since it's for the sake of the master, there is nothing to blame."

Her pupils shrank, and for a moment, her gaze was fixed on the smiling slender figure beside the grandma.

...Looks very young, wearing a very light lotus root color satin gown, only slightly embellished with flowers and grass patterns on the skirt and cuffs, and a simple suet white jade magnolia flower hairpin in her hair, bright and beautiful Refreshing, like the morning dew in the mist.

Seeing that Aunt Gao quickly turned her eyes to her, Yu Zhu secretly praised her keen mind, and went up to her without hesitation, until Aunt Gao looked away uncomfortably.

"Okay, since the kitchen hasn't been finished yet, you can go down first."

But Yuzhu held her sleeves, leaning on the bright red Shoushan Fuhai group flower cushion with a gentle smile: "Sister, you forgot, Aunt Gao just said that she made a big stall for Brother Tan to eat well, and she hasn't cleaned it up yet. How long does it take for people to go? Let Ruyi and Donggua follow along to help, so as to open your eyes, what kind of complicated and exquisite desserts are, every time I am tired, my aunt is half dead... Remember to be sweeter and learn once. If you don’t know it, ask your aunt to teach it a few more times.”

"A few more people can do it. It must be more convenient and comfortable for brother-in-law Tan to eat. Aunt Gao, don't you think so?" Yu Zhu smiled sweetly, with soft words, like warm spring rain, without any strength .

Aunt Gao was startled, and it took a moment to realize that Yuzhu wanted her to teach the two maids of the grandmother to make desserts. Just kidding, she didn't want to reveal the secret recipe anyway, so she laughed and said, "It's all made up of random thinking." , I can't be grandma's attention..."

Yu Zhu waved his hand impatiently, and said heavily: "If you don't want to teach, forget it, who cares?"

After dismissing the anxious Aunt Gao, Yu Zhu immediately changed into a playful face, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Sister, your aunt is also interesting, look at her face just now."

"Interesting?" Ruqing pinched Yu Zhu's face angrily, and said helplessly, "I only see a stomach full of bad water, so why is it interesting?"

It's funny if it can be funny... But she only dared to say this in her heart.

After talking a few words, Yu Zhu realized that it was almost noon, and if he didn't leave Tan's house, he would stay for dinner out of politeness, and there would be all sorts of troubles for a big family... Let's keep the long story short.

"Sister, don't worry. I usually secretly inquire about the origins of Zhang Daopo. Not to mention the details of her hometown, at least there must be some clues. Then send someone to talk to me. In any case, the best way is to learn from this Daopo. Start."

Brother-in-law Tan is the only son, if the knot in Mrs. Tan's heart is resolved, then she will take care of the only daughter-in-law who gave birth to her own grandson and was wronged.

Without Mrs. Tan's support, Aunt Gao and her like would not be able to get on the stage at all.

Seeing that Yuzhu was leaving, Ruqing was very reluctant, and took her hand all the way to the outside of the courtyard.Hearing that Brother Yuan woke up and asked for his mother, he stopped walking.

After being bumped and bumped by the carriage for another hour, he returned to the Qingyuan Courtyard.

The first thing to do was to run to Brother Xi's son's room. No accident, the child was sleeping soundly, with his little hand squeezed into a fist as big as a jujube and placed it on his cheek, with a childish look in his eyes.

The wet nurse and two maidservants standing beside him hurriedly squatted down to salute.

Yu Zhu reached out and touched his son's cheek, asked how many times he ate milk and urinated in the morning, and only after getting assurance from the nanny that everything was normal, did he back out gently.

After leaving the door, Hua Ruo smiled and said, "The young master is getting whiter and fairer, and this servant looks like a little jade."

"...What are you talking about, I'll be embarrassed." Yu Zhu accepted all the answers cheekily, and went to the main room while talking.

Seeing a circle of people surrounding the corridor from a distance, he couldn't help being surprised, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Madam is back..." The maids stepped aside one after another, revealing an old woman inside.

"Mother Yu?" Yu Zhu was taken aback, why did she come here.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and Yu's mother has aged several years almost all of a sudden. Following the radiance of Princess Zhuyi when she first entered the door, she has disappeared. Scattered a lot.

Hearing the sound, she slowly raised her head, and seeing Yuzhu surrounded by maids and women, her eyes lit up, as if seeing a life-saving straw.

"Second wife, the princess wants to see you..." Mother Yu muttered, "...how about you go with the old slave to see her?"

Yu Zhu paused, glanced at her mother's wrinkled face, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The old slave doesn't know, but..."

"no need"

A rigid male voice came from behind, and Yu Zhu turned around in surprise——

Cheng Xunxun was dressed in a sapphire blue straight gown with dark silver lines, his face was covered with frost, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he walked up to him in a few strides.

"It seems that no one takes my father's order seriously. Chunxi Residence is so far away from Qingyu Courtyard, and I can let you come here." His voice was faint, and there was not even much ups and downs, but once he said the words, The surrounding maids and women all lowered their heads, and they were also at fault for letting Yu's mother in.

Two women came forward and pulled Yu's mother out.

Mother Yu didn't struggle at all, and let the women drag her out, her eyes full of heavy sadness.

Yu Zhu followed Cheng Xunxun into the room, noticed her frowning, and asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"

In her memory, a man has never shown such an expression.

"...This princess has caused us a lot of trouble." Cheng Xunxun hesitated for a while, but still took Yuzhu into his arms, and whispered in her ear.

……

In the Cining Palace, the carved jade curtain hangs down, and the five-legged lotus pattern of lying turtle and lotus with gilt and silver handles is equipped with a silver incense burner. The white smoke curls up, and there is a strange fragrance.

The queen mother sat quietly on the phoenix seat paved with brocade mats, her eyes were slightly closed, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

"How long has Eunuch Zhou been out of the palace?"

"It's almost two hours." Aunt Yu said cautiously, and added at the end: "I should be returning to the palace soon."

"Really, that's good." The queen mother played with the seal in her hand and returned to silence.

Aunt Yu led the serving maids to the side, not daring to make a sound.

It wasn't until a shrill "The Emperor is here" came from outside that the eerie silence of the hall was broken.

Quickly blinking away the deep emotion in her eyes, the Queen Mother slowly raised a loving smile:

"Go and serve tea to the emperor."

Aunt Yu bowed her promise, and hurriedly turned around and went to the side hall.

"Mother, good news, good news." The moment the young Emperor Yuanxi stepped into the hall in a dragon robe, the gloom and coldness in the hall receded completely, leaving only the sun shining on the embroidery. On the dragon robe of the five-clawed golden dragon, a halo of golden brilliance shone brightly.

The Empress Dowager's smile froze on her lips, she stared blankly at the bright yellow figure approaching from far and near, and only woke her up from the daze when she got close.

"...what good news?"

Standing up as if to cover up, looking into the emperor's excited eyes, he said with a smile: "Let our emperor be so happy, tell me quickly to make Aijia happy too."

Looks as usual.

The emperor restrained his doubts, and said with a smile: "Mongols were very troubled a while ago, and it has finally been resolved."

The Empress Dowager's originally smiling and gentle face suddenly changed color, and said anxiously: "It's solved? Didn't it just happen yesterday..."

She suddenly realized something was wrong, quickly cut off the conversation, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, tell me quickly."

"The urgent letter just received, Geercha has dropped."

"Gercha? Isn't he the younger brother of the new Khan?" The queen mother was still a little confused.

The emperor frowned, and said with a smile: "Even if he said he was blessed by the ancestors, it would be very difficult if his face was torn apart, but Xu Liewu destroyed the city wall by himself, so we can't blame us."

"The emperor must be cautious, beware of the Mongols' deceit"

"Mother, don't worry, the news is indeed true. Xu Liegu forcibly married Geercha's engaged wife, and the hatred of taking his wife away... Even the soft-tempered people will be angry, let alone the violent-tempered Mongols. Although Geercha is far less powerful than Xu Liewu, once there is internal chaos, how can he have the strength to harass me at the border?" After taking a sip of the hot tea sent by Aunt Yu, the emperor was in a relaxed mood, with a warm smile on his lips. The smile, as captivating as a poppy, attracted several palace maids to secretly look at her with blushing faces without fear of death.

The late autumn wind had already been tainted with a few wisps of winter's chill, blowing in from some gap, wandering wantonly in the empty palace, the queen mother couldn't help trembling.

"This is really great news." She reached out and stroked her sleeves, she didn't know whether it was cold or shock, but there was still a gentle smile on her face: "It's rare that the emperor wants to tell Ai's family, but it saves a lot of burden." Heart...how is it now? There are still a lot of things, the emperor should go back quickly, don't be too happy and miss the business."

"The queen mother taught me that." The emperor laughed loudly and saluted: "Then I will go back to the imperial study first, and the queen mother will rest."

The Empress Dowager smiled softly and said, "Go, and pay attention to your body."

At this moment, there were several screams from outside, and then a group of fiery figures broke into the palace gate.

——It was the princess of Zhuyi

She was wearing a gorgeous bright red dress with wide sleeves embroidered with Lingyun pattern, and the precious Baodian flowers bloomed brightly on the side of her bun, which was so bright and beautiful.But what surprised the palace people the most was a long silver hairpin with a lotus head wrapped in gold thread in her hand, and the sharp tail of the hairpin shone coldly against her delicate and fair neck.

"How is this going?"

The emperor's smile froze on his lips, and he asked sharply, "Who dares to be disrespectful to the princess?"

Eunuch Zhou, who was standing aside and trembling like chaff, saw the emperor's cold eyes like blades sweeping over him, he was so frightened that he knelt heavily on the stone steps, looked at the queen mother for help, kowtowed and said:

"I was afraid that I would disturb the emperor talking to the empress dowager, so I... just wanted to let the princess of Zhuyi wait for a while, but I didn't think the princess would force her way in."
