***************

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi took their children to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager and prepare to leave the palace.

The Queen Mother's recent thoughts are all about the emperor's personal expedition. She is in a state of peace and cannot sleep well at night. Yesterday, Zhu Zhongjun's children came to make a fuss. The Queen Mother was in a good mood, slept peacefully at night, and she was in good spirits when she woke up early.

This is one of them.

She wanted to stay with Yanshan and Yanying brothers for two more days.

There are children in the palace.

But the children in the palace respect the Queen Mother. In the eyes of the children in the palace, the Queen Mother is not only their grandmother, but also the Queen Mother.

There is majesty here.

Zhu Zhongjun's children don't know this.

They only think that the queen mother is her grandmother, just like ordinary families. Especially Yan Ying, she wants everything she sees, which makes the queen mother feel that the dead things in the palace are also valuable.

She likes this very much, and that's the second.

After being lonely in the palace for a long time, I wanted the children to make a fuss. This is the previous mentality of the Empress Dowager.

She was very reluctant to part with Gu Jinzhi's children.

"Xiao Qi, you are also resting outside to take care of your baby. Why not stay in the palace and live until you are twenty years old before leaving the palace." The empress dowager said, "Ai's family has reviewed the almanac. Twenty years old is a good day. It is not advisable to go out today..."

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun both laughed.

The Empress Dowager pretended to be unhappy and saw through their thoughts. She did not help cover up, but instead laughed and expressed dissatisfaction.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to laugh anymore.

The two of them quickly looked straight.

"...Xiao Qi is still pregnant and eats food in the palace. It's more delicate than outside." The Empress Dowager said again, "If the Ai family can go out to see their grandson, they don't have to keep you like this."

Having said that, it's a bit tricky.

But there are also bitterness here.

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun looked at each other and they knew what each other meant.

Zhu Zhongjun said, "Mother, it's not that we don't want to stay, but we're just afraid of breaking the rules. Since you say that, let's disturb Mother for a few more days."

Now in this harem, the one who seals the queen.

The Empress Dowager kept Zhu Zhongjun's family and lived there. She still had to ask the Queen.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "How do you think of disturbing me here?"

Although the words were good, the Queen Mother still sent Aunt Cheng to talk to Kunning Palace first and talk to the Queen, so as not to feel unhappy.

The queen respects the queen mother very much. She never dared to refute the queen mother's words. It was not the first time that the queen mother kept Zhu Zhongjun's family in the palace, and Tan didn't mind.

She even came over and said in person: "The prince and the princess are accompanying the mother and queen in the palace to relieve her loneliness. I am very grateful to her, so I just keep it."

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun both stood up and thanked him.

Then, Gu Jinzhi and his children stayed in Renshou Palace and accompanied the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Zhongjun went to the outer palace.

The Queen Mother and Gu Jinzhi have a deeper relationship.

Gu Jinzhi looked at her face and asked her directly: "My mother, are you sleeping well recently?"

The Empress Dowager also spoke out bluntly and said to Gu Jinzhi: "...The situation in the capital has been stable in the past two years, and the emperor has personally fought for the emperor. The prince is too young, so the Ai family cannot let go. If there is a mistake in the capital, the personal army will lose its support. It is even more critical. The inner palace cannot interfere in politics, and the Ai family cannot reach it. The emperor is also afraid that the Ai family will be too worried. So he kept Zhongjun. The Ai family cannot eat well and sleep well..."

The inner palace not only cannot interfere in politics, but also cannot talk about chaos in the court.

But the Empress Dowager did not pay attention to these things in front of Gu Jinzhi.

She knew that Gu Jinzhi would not talk nonsense everywhere.

"My mother, I don't understand the military and national affairs. But I heard from the prince that if he didn't personally fight, the two tribes on the Mongolian grassland formed an alliance, and they would be even more devastating to the capital." Gu Jin's words, "Besides, the prince is a talented person, and you should relax with him."

The Queen Mother smiled, her smile a little reluctant.

The prince is a filial son and is very filial to the emperor and the queen mother; he is also a very good person, and he respects teachers and elders; he loves practice and keeps the couple in harmony with each other; he even hates evil and doesn't stand the injustice of time.

But as the prince, his political acumen is too low.

The emperor sent many teachers around him to teach him how to be a monarch, but his grades were not satisfactory.

The Empress Dowager still remembers that he made a decision with Gu Yantao a few years ago, just because of a private matter of his teacher Yuan Yuye.

As a student, he is undoubtedly qualified.

But as the prince, his shortcomings are too obvious.

This is because the children in the palace were too young. Before the birth of King Jin, there was only one prince in the palace, and King Jin was twelve years younger than him.

With Tan's escort outside, and there is no one who can replace him inside, he lives without a sense of crisis, is free and a little willful, and has not developed a kingly aura since he was a child.

Moreover, at that time, the emperor always wanted to replace him, but he had no intention of appointing him as crown prince, so he did not deliberately cultivate his monarchy when he was a child.

When he gets older, it becomes even more difficult to change his character.

Besides, the royal family does not have the reason why the emperor personally educates his son.

The Queen Mother found many reasons to convince herself that the prince was already adult and mature, but she was just worried about the prince.

The prince's ears are soft and prone to being provoked. This is not a day or two, and the queen mother is very clear about it.

It is because of the prince's personality that the queen mother is worried about his regent.

These words are difficult for the Queen Mother to say.

Even in front of Gu Jinzhi.

"...Ai's family also wants to live a peaceful life." The empress dowager sighed, "But there is no time for purity in this world? Ai's family hopes that after this war, the world will be more peaceful and the Ai's family will also enjoy peace."

"I will definitely do it, don't worry." Gu Jin's way.

The queen mother laughed and asked Gu Jinzhi again: "You prescribe a prescription for the Ai family? The Ai family has really not had a good sleep in the past two days..."

"Mother, you are only worried about major issues. There is no prescription to solve this." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "You can accompany your child, smile more, and have less worries in your heart, and you can sleep well. There is no need to prescribe the prescription."

The Queen Mother nodded.

One morning, Gu Jinzhi and his children were in Renshou Palace.

Yanying even wrestled with Yanshan.

Yanshan and Yanying both learned to fall from Zhu Zhongjun, but Yanying's grades were better. Although he was shorter than Yanshan, he was smart and powerful, and he could fall Yanshan down in an instant.

Yanshan didn't mind either. He was thrown down and got up with a smile.

The Queen Mother asked someone to lay a felt blanket on the ground, and it would not hurt if she fell down.

The two children fell with relish, and the Queen Mother looked interesting and laughed from ear to ear.

The Empress Dowager was inclined toward Yanying. Yanying looked like Zhu Zhongjun, and the Empress Dowager could always see the shadow of her son from him, so she loved Yanying even more.

The Empress Dowager was very happy to see Yan Ying so young that she could fall down her brother.

Yanshan was not discouraged. His humble appearance of tolerating his younger brother made the empress dowager even more disgusted.

The Empress Dowager was in a very good mood all morning.

They chatted and laughed with the Queen Mother and had lunch at Renshou Palace at noon.

During lunch, Concubine Su, Concubine De and Concubine Li also came.

Several princesses came to pay their respects.

The Queen Mother kept them for dinner.

King Jin is here too.

When Yanying saw King Jin, she pretended not to know him and refused to talk to him. When she woke up this morning, Zhu Zhongjun specifically talked to Yanying.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know what their father and son said. It was mysterious and mysterious.

But Yan Ying did not ask about the jade pendant anymore, and ignored King Jin. Let Gu Jinzhi know that Zhu Zhongjun's words worked.

Seeing that Yanying ignored him, King Jin looked at Yanshan.

Yanshan looked confused with no idea.

After lunch, Yanshan and Yanying were a little sleepy, so the Empress Dowager asked them to rest in the side hall of Renshou Palace.

When the two children left, the King of Jin seemed to have something to say to the Empress Dowager, but Concubine De winked him with a bit of cruelty.

Concubine De's eyes were looked at by the empress dowager. The empress dowager turned her head and saw the King of Jin who wanted to speak but stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?"

King Jin was about to speak, and Concubine De hurriedly stood up and smiled and said, "Before the Chinese New Year, the pair of blue and white porcelain plum vases you gave him were beaten by him. He was worried and said he was sorry for the emperor's grandmother..."

The King of Jin looked unwilling.

The Empress Dowager knew that Concubine De was lying, and this was not the case at all.
