It was quiet in the Qianqing palace. The assistant political scholars left. Zhu Zhanji sat alone on it, holding a memorial in his hand.
Yu Jia glanced at the empty hall and felt that the emperor was really alone.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the palace is strange recently. The Empress Dowager hasn't come out for a long time. She hasn't even succeeded in pulling people.
The emperor went to say hello every day, but most of them came out with cold faces. Hu Shanxiang and sun's two sides are not going much.
The people in the palace naturally have smooth eyebrows and eyes and realize that something is wrong, so people are in danger and can't be honest.
Yu Jia hoped that Fang Xing would come back quickly and persuade the emperor, otherwise the palace would explode sooner or later.
A shadow rushed into the hall. Yu Jiazheng was ready to drink and scold. When he looked carefully, he smiled again.
Xiao Fang rushed into the hall, shouted at Zhu Zhanji twice, then bowed his head and sniffed in the corner. He wanted to lift his hind legs several times, but finally he held back.
He turned back and wagged his tail at the gate of the hall. Zhu Zhanji put down the memorial and shook his head. "The dog is too loyal, Wan Wan?"
"Brother Huang."
Wan Wan came in with her skirt. Xiao Fang met her and wagged her tail around her. Flattery is not good.
Zhu Zhanji came down, took a closer look, frowned and said, "haven't you come out recently? That's not good."
Wan Wan also frowned and said, "brother Huang, the queen mother is not happy! You are not happy either."
Zhu Zhanji's face was slightly dark and said, "don't worry about these things. I will naturally reconcile with my mother."
Wan Wan gave a sound, and then suddenly blinked. Some jokingly said, "brother Huang, Duanduan and I want to surprise our mother!"
Zhu Zhanji said gently, "don't be surprised to your mother."
……
In the palace in spring, the atmosphere is mild. Accompanied by a group of people, Duan Duan collects the budding branches in the garden, and then clumsily inserts them into the vase. With a wave of his small hand, he takes a group of people to find the Empress Dowager.
As the emperor's only child at present, Duan Duan can really walk sideways in the palace, so he went smoothly outside ningshou palace.
The eunuchs and maids of ningshou palace saw Duanduan and lost their eyes, so they hurried in to report.
The Empress Dowager is not in a good mood recently, and she has little food. She is in a daze with a straight face.
"Madam, the princess is coming."
The Empress Dowager wore a straight face all day. Everyone was worried. She was only more relaxed when she came, so when she came, everyone showed a relaxed smile.
The Empress Dowager's eyes moved and said with a smile, "what are you doing? Let her in quickly."
But when Li Bin came back again, he was embarrassed and said, "madam, the princess is angry! She won't come in."
"Duan Duan is so good. Who bullied her?"
The Empress Dowager was angry and got up to go out.
A maid in waiting came to help her, but she waved away.
"The palace is not old enough to walk. Today we should see who dares to bully Duan!"
The Empress Dowager went out all the way, but she didn't see Duan under the steps. She wanted to be angry, but a man jumped out on the left.
The Empress Dowager was startled. When she saw that it was Wan Wan, she couldn't help but say angrily, "you are a lawless man, and when your royal brother calls you a son-in-law, you will know..."
She was teaching Wan Wan a lesson, but a little girl appeared behind her.
She came in a hurry with a box in her arms, but it was a little cold today. She was clumsy and almost slipped.
People didn't fall, but they stumbled under their feet, so they bumped into the Empress Dowager's back in the screams of those people on the side.
The Empress Dowager turned around when she was surprised, and then she was held strong by Duan Duan.
With a bang, the wooden box fell to the ground.
The Empress Dowager was flustered when she saw Duan Duan. She quickly leaned over and hugged her, and then asked eagerly, "but your foot slipped? Look where you fell!"
Holding her thigh, he looked down at the broken wooden box and looked up again. His eyes were full of tears.
"Grandma Huang, something... Fell."
Duanduan burst into tears. Seeing tears falling from her eyes, the Empress Dowager immediately felt distressed. She coaxed: "what is so precious? It made Duanduan cry. Looking back, the emperor's grandmother picked out all the treasures here and took whatever she liked..."
Duan Duan cried with a shriveled mouth and said, "grandma Huang, it's Duan Duan... It's made by Duan Duan... Baby, it's for you..."
The Empress Dowager was stunned, then squatted down and picked up what had fallen to the side.
This thing is wrapped in a ball of cotton and has some weight in your hand.
The Empress Dowager knew why Duanduan almost fell. She touched Duan's face and said, "OK, grandma Huang received it. Look back slowly."
Shaking his head like a rattle, he choked and said, "I want to see, I want to see..."
It's natural for children to show off to adults.
The Empress Dowager remembered Zhu Zhanji's childhood in a trance. She smiled and said, "OK, let's open it."
At first, she was afraid that the things inside would be broken. At that time, Duanduan would be disappointed.
But children always cry!
The Empress Dowager vaguely remembered Zhu Zhanji's childhood, and then opened the ball of cotton.
Someone on the side wanted to help. Li Bin glanced at the man and sneered in his heart.
This is the closeness between the Empress Dowager's grandparents and grandchildren. At the moment, making a head will only annoy people.
Sure enough, the eunuch went over and looked at him before he squatted down.
A cold look!
The eunuch was cold in his heart. He stepped back with a strong smile, and then recalled the look of Li Bin just now, with great hatred in his heart.
Don't you remind me, this is to sit and watch our family be disposed of!
The Empress Dowager in the eunuch doesn't care at all. After going beyond that scope, he will deal with it directly. Several times, everyone will know what the bottom line in the palace is.
Seeing the Empress Dowager opening slowly, Duanduan squatted down and untied the package with her.
After opening it, there was a layer of cotton cloth wrapped inside. The Empress Dowager was curious, so she untied the cotton cloth, and then she was a little flustered.
This is a wooden statue. You can vaguely see that it is an animal, but you can't distinguish it.
If this wooden statue is outside the palace, it will probably be denounced as a naughty work of children, but in the palace
The Empress Dowager picked up the wooden statue and watched it carefully. Her smile gradually filled up.
"Who made this? It's beautiful."
The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, but she didn't look at Duanduan.
Duan Duan impatiently pointed to himself and said, "grandma Huang, it's Duan Duan's work, Duan Duan's work."
The Empress Dowager was surprised and said, "really? That end is really powerful."
"The empress mother commanded those people to do it."
Where can a child carve a wooden statue, so the Empress Dowager just asked knowingly so that she could show off.
The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "well, if you have filial piety, grandma Huang will accept it."
He clapped his hands happily, and then said sadly, "grandma, don't be angry with your father and emperor, will you?"
The Empress Dowager was stunned and her complexion gradually faded.
"Empress mother..."
Wan Wan helped the Empress Dowager up and advised him, "empress mother, the emperor's brother is worried about state affairs all day. Those civil servants always make trouble for him when they hear that they are restless. The emperor's brother is thin."
The Empress Dowager glared at her and said, "your royal brother is fat. You still say thin and nonsense."
"Grandma Huang!"
Holding the Empress Dowager's thigh, he raised his head and shouted, "father and Emperor are not going to the Empress Dowager's place. Grandma, you have to take care of it."
