This is an elder's love for her grandson, even if it is not Pan'er, she is grateful from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you, Madam, I must remember Madam's words, and take good care of the two children."

After saying this, she raised her head and smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, when I was choosing a nanny, I only planned to choose one, but the maids around me said that there are usually four nanny. There are many benefits. , the concubine thinks that there are few people, right and wrong, and I am not very good at managing people, so I can save a lot of things, I didn't expect to be praised by the empress."

Empress Fu talked about scenes in the front, and then she talked about her own feelings. If Paner only talked about scenes, she would not be able to continue the conversation today. At this time, she also said some words about herself, which was about the two children. Empress Fu couldn't help it. I just listened.

For this reason, Empress Fu called her frequently, and when the call finished, it was getting late outside.

Pan'er hurriedly said goodbye.

Empress Fu asked people to bring the two children up to have a look, and then let Pan'er lead them away. Before leaving, Empress Fu summoned Nian Qiu and asked her to send the plate out.

After sending people away, Nian Qiu turned back and saw Empress Fu lying on the kang with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Ma'am, this Su Fengyi is very polite. Before leaving, I stuffed a purse with my servant." Nian Qiu took out the purse with a smile and showed it to Empress Fu.

"You can take it if you give it to you. She is young, but she has a clear mind." Empress Fu said with a smile.

After a pause, she sighed again: "It's hard for people to harden their hearts for such a well-behaved person. Blessed are people who are transparent and obedient, even if they please others, they are not disgusting. You say I am a daughter-in-law What about the grandson?"

This is a bit difficult to answer. It seems to be a homely thing, but it has something to do with Donggong.

Nian Qiu and Nian Ci looked at each other, but Nian Qiu said, "Your Majesty, you should get close to whoever you like, and no one can say anything."

Empress Fu nodded: "That's the reason. You also know that I am soft-hearted, and I always feel that the princess is pitiful. But she is very thoughtful, so I don't need to be pitiful."

Mentioning this, Nian Qiu and Nian Ci didn't dare to speak anymore.

No one in the Kunning Palace knew what the Crown Princess had done before, but they changed their attitude towards the Empress and became more respectful. leg.

Empress Fu has no grievances with the one in the Palace of Compassion, but a daughter-in-law is fine with being close to her mother-in-law, and she should also be close to her mother-in-law, especially when combined with some private conflicts between the Crown Princess and Empress Fu before, the meaning of the Crown Princess is very clear .

She knew that she couldn't please Empress Fu, so she put all her strength on the Empress Dowager.

It stands to reason that it is right to do so. Smart people would think this way, but it is too smart. Smart people feel uncomfortable, especially Empress Fu herself.

"Forget it, childish and innocent, smart people have smart people's way of life, there is no need for us stupid people to worry about it. But the prince has a rigid temper. In the past, when Hu Liangdi came to get close to me, he didn't talk about me, but he often ignored others. Now My two grandchildren can't stand being left out, otherwise some ghosts and ghosts will appear, I have to beat him, and I will order someone to call the prince in the afternoon, so I can talk to him about myself."

Nianqiu and Nianci were busy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this probably means that stupid people have stupid blessings, right

The prince was called to Kunning Palace. He thought Empress Fu was discussing something with him, but unexpectedly he was beaten.

What Empress Fu said inside and outside the meaning was to tell him not to neglect Su Liangdi just because she came to get close to her.

Even if the prince felt that the situation in front of him was exactly what he wanted to see, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he went to Pan'er's yard again at night.

After I went there, I didn't mention eating and talking, and I didn't keep my eyes on the plate.

I could feel it when I saw the pan, and asked him what's wrong

Can the prince say that he is a little jealous? Empress Fu seemed gentle, but in fact she seldom defended anyone. Half of the prince's temperament was actually followed by Empress Fu, and the other half was cultivated by the environment in the palace.

This... words must not be said clearly, so thousands of words were turned into one sentence - "I didn't expect you to be capable, but after meeting you a few times, you won the favor of the queen mother."

Is the prince jealous

Pan'er smelled sour.

She humbled herself: "My queen doesn't like me, but she likes Yue'er and Chou Chou, and loves Wu Wu, so she looks at me differently."

The prince raised his eyebrows, clearly not believing it.

"Forget it if you don't believe me, but it's my skill to be likable. Doesn't Your Highness want the empress to like me?"

"You will mess around." He pinched her cheek.

Pan'er reacted a little loudly, immediately ouched, and fell onto the kang covering her face. The prince was a little undefended. At first he thought she was faking it, but seeing that she kept covering her face and didn't get up, she leaned over to have a look.

Who knew that she would see her big smiling eyes protruding from between her fingers.

"Your ability to deceive people is getting better and better."

"Who asked His Highness to pinch my face? My face is so tender, it can't stand His Highness's hand, you can see it turned red..." She leaned there, showing him a little bit.

Seeing that something was wrong, Fu Lu hurriedly made gestures to drive people away, and walked out with a stoop.

"I have never seen red."

"Look, it hurts so much." She leaned closer to show him, pretending to be.

"I just pretended to see you, and I didn't try my best." Having said that, the prince still took a look.

"I don't feel the strength of His Highness's hand, but my face is soft and tender, how can it be compared."

"Then what do you think?" In fact, what the prince meant was that I pinched it, so do you still want to pinch it back? Unexpectedly, this person beat the snake and climbed along the pole.

"Your Highness, kiss me, it won't hurt anymore."

She said it didn't count, and she had the cheek to lean over there. But the prince made the prince laugh, imprinted on it with his thin lips, and pinched her nose again.

"Tell me honestly, is this how the queen mother was coaxed by you?"

"It's not me coaxing, it's ugly. You don't know that this girl likes to smile. As soon as the empress empress hugs her, she will grin at the empress empress. She will be very cute."

"It's Wanwan, be careful if you call her ugly. Aren't you worried that you won't be able to get married in the future, and you'll still be called ugly?" The prince took this issue seriously and corrected her several times.

"But didn't you say that Gu's daughter is still worried that she won't be able to get married?" She straightened her back and put one hand behind her back, imitating the prince's usual tone of voice.

"Also said that you are not messing around."

The two had an argument, which finally stopped.

"Since the queen mother likes it, you should take more children there. I'm busy on weekdays, so it's not good to go to Kunning Palace too much. The second sister has a big family and they can't always go to the palace. The queen mother is lonely alone." said the prince. It was quite emotional.

So when the concubine finally recovered from her injury for more than a month, and was finally able to go out a few days before the Chinese New Year, she suddenly found that her backer had not yet been confirmed, but Su Pan'er had already found a backer for herself.

During Chinese New Year, the palace is always the busiest.

The servants are busy, busy serving their masters, and busy with big banquets in the palace. The masters are also busy, busy walking around to say hello, busy going to banquets everywhere.

After all the work, I was quite tired, but this year, a strange thing happened - the queen mother took the princess with her when she walked, and she looked at her differently.

Those who know the ins and outs will naturally understand why, and those who don't know can't help but ask around. During the Chinese New Year, there are many banquets in the palace, and there are many people at the banquets. In this way, the reputation of the princess's filial piety spreads.

The Compassionate Ning Palace is usually the busiest at this time.

Concubines from various palaces, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren below, as well as female family members of princes and ministers in Beijing, all of them came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

But usually the queen mother doesn't see people in the afternoon, Emperor Cheng'an is also busy these few days, he has to show his face during the big and small banquets, thinking that he hasn't come to pay his respects to the queen mother for two days, so he came here.

When I came here, the Queen Mother had just woken up from her afternoon nap.

The Empress Dowager is nearly seventy years old, her early black hair has long since turned into gorgeous hair, neatly combed and tied in a bun behind her head, and she doesn't wear a phoenix crown, just wearing homely clothes. Just looking at her face, she is a kind old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. She probably loves to smile, and there are fine and dense lines at the corners of her eyes.

"The emperor has been busy these few days. He finally sealed the seal, but he didn't take any time off. Linglong, hurry up and bring the soup for the emperor. You haven't come for two days, so I want someone to bring it to you. I'm afraid it's not the right time to send it, so you're just here, drink a bowl to replenish your vitality." After ordering the maids, the Empress Dowager said to Emperor Cheng'an.

Emperor Cheng'an was sitting on the lower part of her head, still wearing auspicious clothes, obviously he had just finished his work.

"I'm worried about my mother. There are indeed a lot of things these few days. I thought that my mother's place is also lively, so I specially picked this afternoon."

The mother and son were talking when Linglong came in with soup. The queen mother sighed a little: "You also have to take care of your own dragon body. Don't worry about me here. I am getting old. If I have energy, I will deal with it more. If I am not energetic, I will deal with it less."

"If the son saves it, the queen mother should also take care of her own body."

The queen mother nodded: "Speaking of this, I can't help but think of that time in the imperial garden, thanks to the crown prince blocking me, otherwise your mother's age, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up on the phoenix bed, but in the end She had her legs on the bed for more than a month. When people get old, they can't help but soften their hearts. The princess is filial, and she is willing to serve me, so I can't get rid of her."

It seemed like gossiping, but the queen mother was explaining to Emperor Cheng'an why she brought the princess with her during the Chinese New Year.

The so-called reciprocation, even if you are the master, you can't be too unfeeling on the surface, otherwise, what do the people below think? This is really the case, I am afraid there will be criticism behind it.

Emperor Cheng'an also understood this meaning, but did not add another word.

"If the queen mother really likes it, it's okay to keep it by her side."

After that, the mother and son talked for a while, and Emperor Cheng'an said that there was still something to do, so he left. After he left, Linglong couldn't help showing worry and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't blame me for this."

"Blame?" The queen mother smiled, patted her legs and said, "What can he blame me for? How can I say that I am also his aunt, if it wasn't for the fact that my son was gone, and if I hadn't recorded him in my name, he would I can't sit in this position. People must know how to repay their kindness, otherwise they will be stabbed in the back. He treats this palace with the utmost filial piety, so this palace will naturally be filial to his mother and son, but the emperor is a little narrow-minded. He explained it, and whether he can listen to it or not is his own business."

To put it bluntly, no matter what, she is still the empress dowager. She didn't want to have conflicts with the emperor, so she followed his wishes more. But if she didn't want to follow her wishes, the emperor couldn't do anything to her, especially for such a trivial matter.

The Empress Dowager felt that if the emperor could not even understand this point, the emperor would be in vain.

In fact, from the Empress Dowager's point of view, she didn't like Emperor Cheng'an, but at that time, she had no choice but to pull out the general from the dwarf. After getting along with her for so many years, she also knows a little about this son. He is not considered a virtuous man, but he is honest and does not cause trouble. However, he has been an emperor for a long time, and he has been raised a little self-righteous and arrogant.

Just like at present, the well-known prince of the middle palace doesn't pay much attention to it, but only pays attention to the sons raised by a few young women. Let the queen mother see that this is not the work of smart people, but it is a sign of chaos in the country. It's just that she is getting old after all, and her son is not her own, so naturally she can't say much, on the surface it's fine, but in private, she can't help but be a little contemptuous.

Linglong could hear the subtext in the Queen Mother's words, but she couldn't get involved in this matter, so she could only keep silent.

"By the way, I heard that Su Liangdi is called, the one who gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, Qin who went to Kunning Palace recently?" The queen mother suddenly asked.

The Compassionate Ning Palace naturally also has a news channel from the Compassionate Ning Palace, so they also know some things about the Kun Ning Palace. Linglong nodded and said: "Going back to your empress, this person's surname is Su. Not long after she was conferred the concubine Liang, she often takes two little emperor grandchildren to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the empress."

The Queen Mother nodded: "No wonder I said that the Crown Princess has been here very... frequently, her leg injury has not fully recovered. I saw her standing for a long time this morning, and when she turned around and went down, the clothes on her back were wet with sweat. Poor thing."

The Empress Dowager's tone was ambiguous, and Linglong was naturally difficult to answer. The master and servant stood and the other sat, and the warm winter sun came in through the window, adding a bit of warmth to the hall.
