The next day, Ye Lizhu went to Ye's house to bring Ying'er over, and entered the palace with Ying'er. The Queen Mother has not seen Ying'er for a few days, and she misses her a little.
After entering the palace, Ye Lizhu's chariot was stopped by several eunuchs on the way before it reached the Queen Mother.
It was Eunuch Ban, the eunuch beside Zhao Yun.
Ye Lizhu opened a corner of the curtain and listened to the honest man: "Princess Qin, please stay."
Ye Lizhu said calmly: "What's the matter with Eunuch Ban?"
Ban Gong said impartially: "Your Majesty has not seen the young prince for several days, and is missing him in his heart. I hope that you, princess, can take the young prince to the pavilion next door so that your majesty can meet him."
Ye Lizhu nodded: "Father-in-law, please lead the way."
After a while, Ye Lizhu was helped off the chariot. A bright yellow figure stood in the hexagonal pavilion nearby. Ye Lizhu and Zhao Yun had not met many times, and they were not familiar with each other. After passing by, Ye Lizhu took Ying'er and bowed: "I have met His Majesty."
Zhao Yun gave her a weak support: "Auntie, there is no need to be polite."
He leaned over and hugged Ying'er, and tapped Ying'er's nose with his fingertips: "We haven't seen you for a few days, and the prince has become fairer again."
When Ying'er was in Xianzhou, he often stayed outside. The wind and sun would inevitably make his little face rough. Now that he has come to the capital, he reads and writes with Ye Jiayou all day long. There is no sunlight in the room, and his face naturally becomes rough. When she is white, her face is as white and tender as watery tofu.
Ying'er hugged Zhao Yun's neck: "Cousin, I want to learn to ride a horse."
"Horse riding?" Zhao Yun said with a smile, "This won't work. You are too young and will fall off the horse. When you are older, my cousin will give you a pony, okay?"
Ying'er nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Yun then looked at Ye Lizhu: "Auntie, please sit down. We are all members of the same family, so there is no need to be polite."
As soon as Ye Lizhu sat down, a palace maid offered her a cup of tea.
Zhao Yun said: "The government has been very busy recently. Thanks to my uncle's help, I am not too overwhelmed. The ministers and the Queen Mother are urging me to draft a queen next year. I don't want to waste energy on the draft, and I don't want to waste time on the harem. There are many people in the harem." The Queen is enough.”
Ye Lizhu remained calm, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "Oh? I wonder if your majesty has anyone you like?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Ye Lizhu and said with a gentle smile: "I have my favorite candidate, the little princess in Prince Chen's mansion. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother is not too satisfied with it. This time my aunt is going to the Queen Mother's place. If the Queen Mother mentions it, can my aunt put in a good word for me? I should be grateful."
Ye Lizhu lowered his eyes, fluttered his long eyelashes twice, and then said: "If I can speak well, I will naturally help your majesty."
Zhao Yun thanked him again.
Ye Lizhu drank the tea in her hand and left with Ying'er.
Ti Xiao and Zhao Yun are related by blood, and she has no relationship with Zhao Yun. She only needs to be okay on the surface. Ye Lizhu doesn't like to get close to others. If she can help Zhao Yun by saying a few words this time, she will naturally help.
Before getting married, Ye Lizhu and Tao Meiwen had a good relationship. Ye Lizhu knew that Tao Meiwen had a good temperament and character. If the Queen Mother had more contact with Tao Meiwen and got to know her better, she would also like Tao Meiwen.
This place was actually not far from the Queen Mother's palace. Ye Lizhu took Ying'er's hand and walked forward.
Ying'er raised her head and said, "Concubine, is my cousin getting married?"
Ye Lizhu said with a smile in his eyes: "How did you hear that?"
Ying'er said: "I can hear it. Concubine, when will I get married?"
Ye Lizhu pinched Ying'er's nose: "You, it's still very early."
Ying'er said to Ye Lizhu: "Last time my uncle and I went to play at someone else's house, and we heard a few maids from that house secretly saying in the corner that their lady wanted to marry my uncle. When will he get married?"
Children always have a lot of questions and chatter non-stop. Ye Lizhu said: "Your uncle hasn't decided to get married yet, and it will take a few years for him to get married."
Ying'er nodded: "Okay, I have to think carefully about who I will marry when I grow up."
Ye Lizhu couldn't help but smile when she saw Ying'er's little bun's face wrinkled, as if he was thinking about a major issue.
She said to Ying'er: "You are not allowed to say these words in front of the Queen Mother's aunt, and you are not allowed to talk about the meeting between the mother-in-law and her cousin later. Does Ying'er know?"
Ying'er nodded obediently: "I understand."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the Queen Mother's side.
The Queen Mother was naturally happy to see Ying'er and asked Ying'er to sit next to her.
Ying'er's hair is not very long yet. It was tied into two little horns today. His little face is white and tender. Aunt Lanxin gave her an osmanthus cake. The Queen Mother asked Ying'er to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Ying'er said it politely. "Thank you, Aunt Queen Mother," he took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to eat. His little face bulged after eating, and his skin was already white and tender, which made him look even more cute.
The Queen Mother's kind eyes fell on Ying'er: "Good boy, drink some tea."
She wiped the pastry crumbs next to Ying'er's pink lips with a handkerchief, and said to Ye Lizhu: "You are so lucky, what a lovely child."
Ying'er usually eats a lot and is not too picky. Tixiao is tall, and Ying'er is also a bit taller than other children of his age. Although Ye Lizhu is weak, he is not as weak as Ye Lizhu.
He will definitely look more like Tixiao when he grows up.
The Queen Mother was also lonely in the palace, and she also hoped that she could have children to accompany her.
The Queen Mother said: "Yun'er is not young anymore. Others at his age have married and had children. He has become an emperor, and he insists on being a celibate. He is not even as good as when he was a prince. It has been three or four years. , I don’t want anyone around me.”
Ye Lizhu touched Ying'er's little head and said: "The Queen Mother said last time that Your Majesty likes Tao Meiwen..."
The Queen Mother frowned: "The Ai family knows that she is not an economical person. She usually makes noises and has no etiquette. If she enters the palace, she will probably cause uproar in the entire harem."
Ye Lizhu lowered his eyes and whispered softly: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have a deep love for each other. If you don't agree, Your Majesty may keep wasting it. Your Majesty is young and can withstand wear and tear, but Meiwen is a woman, and the best time is not. In the past few years, she has been willing to spend time with His Majesty, so she must have a lot of affection for His Majesty."
The Queen Mother took the tea handed by the palace maid and tossed the tea leaves: "Who knows if she is thinking of climbing up the dragon and attaching herself to the phoenix and placing her bet on Yun'er."
"The Queen Mother has no confidence in Tao Meiwen, nor does she have confidence in Your Majesty? Does Your Majesty really have no vision?" Ye Lizhu said, "I am not speaking to Tao Meiwen for Your Majesty, I am just worried about you, the Queen Mother. Isn't the Queen Mother worried? If you have been If you block this matter, in the long run, will it chill His Majesty's heart and affect the relationship between mother and son?"
Ye Lizhu's words indeed hit the point.
The Queen Mother was actually worried about this matter.
Ye Lizhu saw the Queen Mother lowering her head and drinking tea slowly, and then said: "The Queen is His Majesty's Queen. She mainly serves Your Majesty. Even if a virtuous woman enters the palace, Your Majesty does not like it and does not favor her, no matter how virtuous she is. This is the final step to establish a queen for Your Majesty. What matters is His Majesty’s preference.”
Ye Lizhu usually doesn't speak much and rarely says this to the Queen Mother.
But what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and the Queen Mother also understood these truths.
Zhao Yun is not a person without vision. The Queen Mother follows her own wishes and allows Zhao Yun to be surrounded by women he doesn't like, which will only weaken the relationship between Zhao Yun and the Queen Mother as mother and son.
Emotions are the least able to withstand the torment.
The Queen Mother didn't like the late Emperor either, so she naturally understood the feeling of staying with someone she didn't love.
However, when the status was reversed and she became the one who made all the decisions, what she considered most was not feelings.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said: "The Aijia think about it again. The emperor is the queen, and he will be the one who will serve him in the future. If one day he regrets it, don't blame the Aijia for not stopping him."
Seeing the Queen Mother's relaxation, Ye Lizhu smiled slightly and continued: "The Queen Mother may not be familiar with Tao Meiwen, and has only heard about her from others. But it is better to understand the rumors yourself. What you have heard about Tao Meiwen is that she is not She is observant of etiquette and behaves frivolously, but if you think about it from another angle, maybe Tao Meiwen is informal and has a cheerful personality?"
The Queen Mother thoughtfully said: "The Ai family will ask someone to invite her into the palace one day to take a good look at her. The Ai family has seen her several times before. Her clothes are too gaudy and her figure is too charming. She doesn't look like a serious girl. I don’t like it when I look at it.”
"Tao Meiwen is in good health. If she can enter the palace, she might be able to give birth to a little princess or a little prince soon."
The Queen Mother looked at Ying'er, who was quietly eating cakes on the side. Ying'er had big, watery eyes, long eyelashes, red lips, soft little face and hands. Such children are the most lovable. The Queen Mother also wanted to let the palace There are a few more children inside.
Realizing that the Queen Mother was looking at her, Ying'er raised her head, took a piece of pastry and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Auntie, do you want to eat it?"
Seeing Ying'er being so good, the Queen Mother smiled like a flower: "Auntie won't eat, Ying'er eat more."
Good children generally cannot do without their mother's guidance. The Queen Mother carefully recalled what Ye Lizhu said just now.
Although Ye Lizhu usually doesn't like to talk and is quiet, she is not a short-sighted person. That's right, Ye Fu'an's daughter, even if she is not a world-famous talented woman, is not that stupid. I don't usually speak, probably because of my personality, and because I know that if I talk too much, I will make mistakes, so I only speak more when it is critical.
Ye Lizhu has good looks and a gentle temperament, but Ti Xiao is not a good-tempered person. The Queen Mother knows that Ti Xiao is cold-blooded and ruthless, so the two can get along well. There is a certain reason why Ye Lizhu can be held in the palm of Ti Xiao's hand.
In the evening, Ye Lizhu took Ying'er back to the Prince Qin's Mansion.
During this time, Ying'er learned to read with Ye Jiayou and learned a lot of words. He was smart and could even memorize the Analects of Confucius in its entirety. Ye Lizhu tested him on a few sentences, and he could answer them fluently.

At night, Ying'er entangled Ye Lizhu and slept with Ye Lizhu. Ye Lizhu couldn't sleep, so Ying'er whispered: "Concubine, don't you miss your father?"
Ye Lizhu pinched Ying'er's nose: "Go to bed quickly."
Ying'er said: "My father is not at home, and my mother and concubine are not very willing to smile at others. They are cold all day long."
Ye Lizhu turned around and said, "Concubine, it's time to go to bed. If you don't go to bed, Ying'er, the tiger will catch you at night."
"Hey, I'm not afraid of tigers. My father has captured several tigers when hunting. I will be as powerful as my father," Ying'er chirped.
When Ye Lizhu heard Ying'er mention Tixiao, she always felt empty in her heart. Although it was nice to be in the capital, she had her own father and brothers here, and she was familiar with this place. However, there was no Tixiao here, and no matter how good it was, Ye Lizhu still felt that her heart was still empty. An empty piece.
When Ying'er saw Ye Lizhu ignoring her, she became a little anxious: "Mother, concubine, did I make you cry? Do you miss your father too much and don't want me to talk about him?"
Ye Lizhu closed her eyes: "No."
Ying'er knew that his mother-in-law loved to cry. Although he did not cry in front of her, he often saw his mother-in-law and his father together. Sometimes, his father could always make his mother-in-law's eyes red with anger, and then his father would The king would hold his mother and concubine in his arms and comfort her.
When Ye Lizhu fell asleep, Ying'er got up secretly and went to find a pen.
Ying'er had just learned to write from Ye Jiayou, and her writing was not very proficient. It was crooked, but she could barely see what he was writing.
Ying'er actually misses her father. Although his father always doesn't allow him to stick to his mother and concubine, his father is still a good father. The last time Ying'er destroyed his father's calligraphy and paintings worth thousands of gold, he was not beaten.
Ying'er wrote crookedly that her mother and concubine missed her father, and she secretly shed tears every night, hoping that her father would not forget her mother and concubine. Then she folded the paper, and on the next day, Ying'er solemnly handed the letter to General Lin, who had left it at the mansion, and asked General Lin to send the letter to her father.
General Lin just thought that the young prince had learned a few words and wanted His Highness to know them, so he sent them to Wenzhou.
