In terms of their identities and relationship, they are destined to be in a state of shallow exchanges.
They both knew each other well, so Pan'er didn't say much, and Concubine Hu Shu left after saying this.
After Concubine Hu Shu left, Cattail looked at the master with some concern: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks what Concubine Hu Shu said is quite reasonable, it must be the empress who wants to deal with you."
Pan'er smiled: "Okay, even if she really wants to deal with me, your mother-in-law won't do it, so let her deal with it. After all, she moved out of the big mountain of the empress dowager."
In fact, it was not Empress Chen who surprised Pan'er, but the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager has never been too fond of meddling with the affairs of the palace, and she also understands that if she meddles too much, she will offend people and make people feel disgusted. It is unnecessary in her capacity, so why did she help the Empress again this time
This time is not like the time when Zong Cong was still the prince. At that time, Zong Cong was the prince, and it was only natural for the elders in the palace to give concubines. The grandmother of the previous generation intervened, and the character of the Empress Dowager Ethernet really shouldn't be.
But whether it should or not, the matter has already happened, and Pan'er can only wait for the follow-up.
It's coming in a few days.
One afternoon, taking advantage of the sunny weather, Zong Cong asked Pan'er to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the scenery.
Pan'er was surprised when I went there, because Zong Cong is a character who only has government affairs and no leisure and fun, especially after he ascended the throne, this character has been fully interpreted. His daily free time is probably when the children are scattered. After school, he also finished his work, when he went to Jingren Palace.
So it was the first time I called her to enjoy the scenery.
After going there, the scenery in the imperial garden is really good.
It is a good time for flowers to bloom in April and May, and the imperial garden is also full of colorful and beautiful.
Pan'er gradually forgot the doubts she had when she came.
"This peony is nice."
Pan'er was looking sideways, when he felt a slight movement in his hair, he withdrew his hand and put it behind his back. She reached out and touched the soft petals, and couldn't help smiling.
While laughing, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a corner of crabapple red fabric flashing behind a tree not far away.
She felt a little familiar, and soon realized that she likes to wear begonia red the most, so she felt familiar. Only concubines can wear this color of clothes in the palace, and now the concubines in the East Sixth Palace are all old people in the East Palace, probably because they have not had the heart to compete for favor after a long time, and they will definitely not dare to do such a thing.
Those concubines will not wear this color, and it seems that there is no need to continue to guess who it will be.
"It turns out that you asked me to come out to enjoy the scenery today, not for the sake of viewing the scenery, but with ulterior motives." Pan'er glanced at him and said.
Zong Cong let out a laugh, and didn't hide it from her. Seeing that the flowers she wore just now were a little crooked, he stretched out his hand to straighten her up: "I also don't want to cause anything that would insult the court. I threw myself into my arms, and this matter has reached your ears again, don't you want to be jealous and petty with me again?"
Pan'er glanced at him, pretended to be displeased and said, "It's been a long time since my concubine has been jealous, but His Majesty remembers this little thing every day, it should be His Majesty's stinginess."
"If I hadn't been worried about you in everything, you would have been jealous of Hai Shengbo..."
After speaking halfway, Zong Cong stopped talking.
Pan'er looked at him, saw that his face was a little shy, and wanted to pretend to be serious to cover it up, smiled in front of him twice, then changed the subject and said: "Then according to what His Majesty said, His Majesty knows someone What do you want to do to disgrace the court?"
Zong Cong looked aside, Pan Er looked along, saw Fu Lu, and suddenly realized.
It should be that there are guests in the palace, and the empress dowager summoned them to the palace. Even concubine Hu Shupan can see what the empress dowager wants to do, but Zong Cong can't see it.
But he definitely couldn't rush to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to object, so naturally he had to let the people below watch more, so as not to cause any embarrassing incidents.
As for Fu Lu's ability, Pan'er also knew about it, so it should be that Fu Lu got some news, and this news was given to Zong Cong by him, so there is today's trip to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery.
"It's hard for His Majesty,... I sneaked out to accompany my courtiers and concubines to enjoy the scenery."
"Little heartless!" Zong Cong sneered, and said in a low voice, "I don't spend enough time with you every day."
"Naturally there are many, people are just talking about it."
Here he was pulling his sleeves and acting like a baby, while Fu Lu's eyes were slanted to the ground over there, and he didn't dare to take a second look.
"The empress dowager is also old, so she does some stupid things."
Pan'er can't intervene in this matter, after all, the Empress Dowager is an elder, even though Zong Cong complained a few words in front of her, he wouldn't say that in a human face.
"Forget it, if these people don't send you away after this time, I will take you to Xiyuan. I remember I promised you this last year, and I happened to go to Xiyuan to escape the summer heat. The weather is hot, and the ministers are working hard every day. , there are not so many rules when going to Xiyuan.”
Don't mention it, originally Pan'er thought that Zong Cong did it so obviously that the Empress Dowager should understand the meaning.
For those who have lived in the palace for a long time, the first thing they need to learn is to understand the subtext. After all, sometimes there are certain words that cannot be said in front of the face.
Just like this time, if Zong Cong went in person or sent someone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to explain what he said, he would be disrespectful, filial, and disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. The empress dowager's face was damaged, and what was naturally damaged was the love between grandparents and grandchildren.
The way they usually deal with each other is to show their attitude through something. The way of smart people is to read it clearly and stop quickly. But this time, this person who is recognized as the smartest person in the palace did not do something smart.
So another ten days later, Zong Cong ordered to go to Xiyuan to escape the summer heat.
Xiaoyu is one concubine in the harem, and he personally went to the Ningshou Palace, the Compassionate Ning Palace and the Yangxin Palace. Pan'er wasn't there at the time, and he didn't know what was going on in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. All in all, the matter was settled like this.
The people who went there were not only the Supreme Emperor, Noble Concubine Gao, and Zhouxian Dowager, but also the Supreme Empress, Pan Er, Concubine Hu Shu and others, as well as several princes and princesses.
Empress Chen didn't go, saying she wanted to show her filial piety in front of the Empress Dowager.
On the surface, there is absolutely no problem with these words, but Zong Cong was displeased because of these words. Just imagine, if the queen didn't go to Xiyuan and said that she would stay in front of the empress dowager to fulfill her filial piety, wouldn't it be unfilial for the emperor to leave the empress dowager to Xiyuan
Pan'er knew about this matter, and no one could see it on the surface.
The scenery in Xiyuan is beautiful, so it goes without saying that it is very suitable for visiting in summer.
However, unlike before, this time Pan'er followed Zong Cong to live in Yingtai. The scenery of Yingtai is the best in the South China Sea, facing the water on three sides, it is an excellent location for feeding fish and fishing.
Afraid of delaying the children's studies, Zong Cong specially selected two gentlemen from the upper study room to come to Xiyuan to teach the princes to study. Naturally, Wanxian and the others will not let go. Every day, the children study in the morning and play in the afternoon. Their lives are much more comfortable than in the Forbidden City.
Zong Cong has recently become more interested in fishing, which makes Pan'er feel as if he was back then.
During the last nearly ten years of Emperor Jianping in his previous life, because of his age and his poor health, he didn't like living in the Forbidden City very much, so he usually brought her to Xiyuan. At that time, he had an interest in fishing, and he could sit on the shore for an afternoon.
Full of determination.
She looked at that still handsome face again and again, and felt that the children were still young, and it was too early for him and her to grow old.
In his previous life, his dragon body had always been very good, but the reason why he declined so quickly later on was all because he worked hard day and night on government affairs, and hollowed out his foundation. In this life, she will definitely not let the old things repeat itself.
So Xiyuan is really a good place, you can come here more in the future.
She said as much.
Zong Cong smiled: "It makes you so happy that you can't think of leaving."
"I think you can relax if you come here more often. There are so many government affairs, and you can't finish it for two days. If you do one thing, there is another one. But one day has passed, and this day will not come back. gone."
There is a bit of Zen in a simple sentence.
Zong Cong tasted the product, but he also felt that this was the truth, but he thought about it. He indulged for an afternoon, and the next day he became busy again. Although he didn't have to go to court in Xiyuan, he summoned the ministers to discuss matters every day. Not a lot.
... He even summoned some ministers to Xiyuan for the convenience of discussion, but let them live near the East China Sea, so that it is convenient for him to call people at any time.
So within a few days, Pan'er discovered that there were more ministers entering and leaving Yingtai.
He also seemed to know that Pan'er didn't want to see him being so busy day and night. When he was in the Forbidden City before, he would finish all the things to be dealt with today during the day, and the night time would naturally be free.
Now we are concentrating on finishing things in the morning no later than late, so that the sun has not slanted to the west, and the sun outside is not as strong as before. The two of them walked around and occasionally went boating on the lake. Be happy.
Zong Yue and the others learned Fushui the year before last, and Zong Cong ordered someone to teach them to learn it. It's just that they didn't have time to get familiar with water, so many things happened later, and they were in control, so they naturally had no chance to go into the water.
This time I came to Xiyuan, so I naturally want to bring up the old things again.
When Zong Qian was still young, his so-called learning was to splash in the water with two swim bladders tied to his body, so this time it was mainly him who learned.
Zong Duo was very envious when he saw it. He knew that Zong Yue and the others learned Fushui, but his mother refused to let him learn it, saying that it would be vulgar to show his chest in broad daylight. .
This time he proposed that he also wanted to learn, Zong Cong hesitated for a while, and agreed.
