The departure of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai has no impact on the Yan family. They do whatever they have to do. Daohua, Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Yan Zhiqiang, who only know the truth, occasionally show worried looks.

In a blink of an eye, March has entered.

In March, the temperature gradually began to rise, people began to put on thin and beautiful clothes, and the number of gatherings began to increase.

While Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile were happily following Mrs. Li out for a visit, Daohua was hiding in her yard.

Ever since Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers left, she often felt stuffy and uncomfortable. She didn't want to move, and she was too lazy to move. Whenever she had free time, she couldn't help but think about where they were now, and how smooth the road was.

These things don’t go your way.

One day, Daohua trained seven little hunting dogs as usual, but after training the first and second little dogs, she felt bored. She handed the little hunting dogs to Bishi, went back to the house, lay down on the chaise longue, and picked up the new story book.

I started reading, but after only reading a few pages, I felt even more bored. I simply threw the storybook aside, lay down on the chair, closed my eyes and took a nap.

Looking at Daohua who was lazy and uninterested in anything, Guyu and Lixia were both a little worried.

Guyu: "Is this girl suffering from spring fatigue?"

Li Xia frowned: "But the girl didn't seem to be like this in the past few years."

The two of them looked at Wang Man'er and Gu Yu at the same time: "Sister Man'er, do you know what happened to the girl?"

Wang Man'er glanced at his girl and wondered what could be wrong, she was lovesick.

The girl's reaction was exactly the same as her reaction when Brother Liu went to the capital. At first, she didn't understand why. Later, when she went to the kitchen to get some food, the housekeeper saw that she was distracted, so she jokingly asked her if she was lovesick.

She didn't know she was sick until she got sick.

Fortunately, in February, brother Xiaoliu wrote a letter to the girl, and he also wrote her a letter. After reading the letter, she gradually got better.

She thought that when the young prince came back, her girl would naturally get better.

"Girl is fine, she will be fine after a while. Go and do your work. I would like to remind you that girls are most likely to lose their temper at this time. Don't get together to provoke the girl and let her punish you."

Hearing this, Guyu and Lixia quickly dispersed.

Daohua lay in a daze on the imperial concubine chair until noon. She went to Songhe Courtyard to have lunch with Mrs. Yan and then came back to lie down.

After lying down for a while, I felt that I couldn't do this all the time, and I had to find something to do to distract myself, so I asked Wang Man'er to bring over the account books from various farms.

"Have the 10,000 acres of farmland we newly acquired been sown?"

Wang Man'er nodded: "Last year, as soon as Zhuangzi got it, Brother Xiao Liu started to make preparations. Tenants, long-term workers, and part-time workers were all recruited early in the morning. So although Zhuangzi is big, it will not delay this year's spring plowing."

Daohua nodded and looked at the account book carefully.

......

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

Eunuch An raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and then at the emperor who was still immersed in reviewing the papers. He took a deep breath, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon. This morning the Queen Mother sent someone to convey a message, saying that she wanted to

I'm having lunch with the emperor."

After saying that, Mr. An stood still with his eyes, nose, nose and heart in mind.

"呲~"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Eunuch An thought he heard an inaudible sneer.

Just when Eunuch An's waist was about to bend, the emperor put down his pen, looked up at Eunuch An, and stood up: "Show me at Cining Palace."

After saying that, he strode out.

Mr. An breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Cining Palace.

Grandma looked at the sky and couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, do you want to start passing the meal around?"

The empress dowager and the old monk sat in trance, with eyes closed, quickly turning the beads with his right hand, and said lightly: "The emperor hasn't arrived yet, wait."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the eunuch announce, 'The Emperor has arrived.'

The Queen Mother instantly opened her eyes, and her expressionless face became kind and kind. She looked at the Emperor who walked into the palace and said with a smile: "The Emperor is here, please pass the meal quickly."

The emperor stepped forward and saluted, then calmly walked to the side and sat down: "There are a lot of things to do today. I am late. I hope the Queen Mother will not blame you."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed when she heard the Emperor's address.

The Queen Mother, not the Queen Mother, is sure enough, either she is her own, or she was not raised well.

The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It seems that the Ai family is delaying the Emperor's official business. It's just that you and I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the Ai family miss you very much, so they invited the Emperor to come over and have lunch with us."

."

After listening to these words, the emperor felt tired and panicked, but he smiled and said: "It's my son and minister who are unfilial. I will definitely visit the Queen Mother more often in the future."

At this time, the eunuchs and maids began to come in with plates of dishes.

After placing them, the Queen Mother signaled the Emperor to use his chopsticks: "Try it quickly. This is what the Ai family specially ordered for you. See if it suits your taste?"

The emperor picked up the chopsticks in a dignified manner and said: "The food cooked in the Queen Mother's Palace is naturally delicious, and I will have a good meal."

The Queen Mother immediately smiled and said: "If the Emperor likes to eat, then come and sit more often, and I will let the kitchen cook it for you."

The emperor nodded: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

They ate in silence and slept in silence. After that, the emperor and the queen mother didn't say anything and ate in silence.

The emperor briefly tasted a few dishes, then put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth with tea.

When the Queen Mother saw this, she also put down her chopsticks. Seeing that the Emperor looked like he had something to do, she didn't even bother to write. She said straight to the point: "Have you heard, Your Majesty? Duke Dingguo asked his eldest daughter-in-law to go to Zhongzhou. He said it was

It is inconvenient for Guo Kangyu to live alone in Ningmenguan."

The emperor looked surprised: "Really?" He said and smiled, "This is understandable. Over the years, Guo Kangyu has helped me take care of the military affairs in Zhongzhou, Fenxi and Jiguang, and there is no one around to help him.

Taking care of housework is really inconvenient now that I think about it."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor: "The ones who are following are their daughters."

The emperor smiled and said: "It is only right for a daughter to stay with her parents."

Seeing that the emperor deliberately avoided her intention, the Queen Mother could only make it clear: "The Guo family's mother and daughter will not go to Zhongzhou in the morning. But at this time, it is impossible for the emperor not to know what the Guo family's plan is, right?"

The emperor looked puzzled: "I really don't know, please ask the Queen Mother to clarify my doubts."

The Queen Mother was furious, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, don't forget that Ye Yang is still in Zhongzhou. Guo Kangyu's daughter is the same age as him. Isn't the purpose of going to Zhongzhou now obvious?"

The Emperor: "That's not the case. The daughter of the Guo family doesn't have to worry about getting married."

The Queen Mother sneered, thinking that was in the past. Ever since the Guo family rejected the Jiang family's marriage proposal last year and became enemies with the Jiang family, who would dare to come to ask for Guo Xueming's hand in marriage now?

Looking at the emperor who didn't care at all, the Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember how ugly the fight between Guo Ruomei and Xiaojiu was? Although the Guo family is Yeyang's uncle's family, if Guo Xueming is allowed to marry into the royal family,

I won’t agree to it.”

The emperor was silent for a while: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I know what's going on."

Seeing that the emperor did not give a clear answer, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment, and said with a look of remorse: "Ye Yang has been alone in Zhongzhou these years, with no one to take care of him. As a grandmother, I am really irresponsible."

After saying that, he waved to summon a nanny and said to the emperor.

"This is Grandma Jia. She has served the Ai family for more than ten years and is the most reliable person. The Ai family wants her to go to Zhongzhou to take care of Yeyang. What does the emperor think?"

The emperor sneered in his heart, this must be the real purpose of the queen mother coming to him.

It's not enough to raise Xiaojiu to death, but he also wants to control Yeyang's life.

Too lazy to listen to the false words of the Queen Mother, the Emperor stood up and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is kind and cares about Yeyang who is alone outside. How can I disagree?"

"The Queen Mother didn't mention it, and I don't think so. Speaking of it, I, as an uncle, haven't done much of my responsibilities over the years. So, if the Queen Mother gave her a nanny, I should give her one as well."

Hearing this, the smile on the Queen Mother's face was a little stiff.

Before the Queen Mother could say anything, the Emperor said: "I still have official duties to attend to, so I left on my trip."

The Queen Mother smiled stiffly and nodded.

When the emperor left, the empress dowager's face suddenly darkened. Aunt Jia, who was accused of going to Zhongzhou, said worriedly: "Empress dowager, if the emperor also goes there, I am afraid it will not be so easy for me to bring the young prince and girl Wanying together."< /p>

The Queen Mother quickly turned the prayer beads, and after a while she said: "You go and act according to the circumstances, just don't let Yeyang and Guo Xueming get too close." Only the prince's son, who has nothing to rely on, is the best to control.

Grandma Jia nodded immediately. All girls love face and reputation, and she can still do this.

On the other side, the emperor has returned to Qianqing Palace.

Thinking that the Queen Mother was looking for trouble for him today, the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne showed a hint of ridicule.

The queen mother wanted the queen to raise Ma's concubine's son, and in exchange, she specially promoted the Ma family and straightened up Ma's concubine in Xiaojiu's house.

During this period, he often went to Ma Bin's palace, boosting Ma Bin's arrogance. In addition, the Ma family had a prince and concubine, and a nephew who was very likely to inherit the prince's title in the future. Ma Bin's confidence was also sufficient, and she often I went to the Queen's Palace to see my son. I went more and more often and stayed longer and longer.

How can the Jiang family tolerate this kind of thing?

Sure enough, not long after, the Queen Mother could no longer sit still.

The purpose of sending people to Zhongzhou is simply to take control of Yeyang in order to be prepared to suppress the Ma family at any time.

The Queen Mother has not changed. Even at such an old age, she still cannot tolerate any disobedience from others. As soon as she notices it, she will immediately whip and suppress it.

And the Guo family...

The emperor's eyes narrowed. He was afraid that the Queen Mother might have guessed what the Guo family was thinking. Thinking of his increasingly outstanding nephew, the emperor waved to Eunuch An.

Eunuch An trotted over: "Your Majesty."

The Emperor: "The Queen Mother sent a nun from the palace to take care of Ye Yang. I will give you one here, and you can choose a more powerful one."

Eunuch An nodded, and just as he was about to retreat, he heard the emperor say again.

"The one on the Queen Mother's side is called Aunt Jia, and the one on our side is called Aunt Zhen."

The fat on Mr. An’s face suddenly twitched.

Fake grandma...

Really grandma...
