In the eyes of outsiders, since Zhu Yiliu ascended the throne and became emperor, Empress Dowager Li has no longer been taciturn.

Its remarkable sign is that the sound of beating wooden fish can no longer be heard in the Buddhist temple of Cining Palace.

Secondly, from time to time, you can always hear the laughter of Empress Dowager Li teasing her grandson Zhu Changluo.

When I was lucky enough to witness Empress Dowager Li's appearance, I also found that she always had a smile on her kind-eyed face.

In short, it is in sharp contrast to her before, who was depressed and stayed in the Buddhist temple all day long.

In Zhu Yili's opinion, this should be the living conditions that Empress Dowager Li should have - to enjoy a happy life.

On the evening of the day when Hu Yixian arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yili went to Cining Palace after dinner.

Empress Dowager Li is coaxing Zhu Changluo to play.

Although Zhu Changluo can't speak, he has long laughed and has known people. It turns out that besides his mother Wang Shurong, he is very close to Sister Wang Xi.

Usually, as soon as I cry, as long as I put it in Sister Wang Xi's arms, I will stop crying immediately.

Now, after various efforts, Empress Dowager Li has successfully replaced Sister Wang Xi's position.

When Zhu Changluo saw Empress Dowager Li, he kept giggling. In Empress Dowager Li's arms, he never cried. As if he had forgotten his crying.

Whenever I see Zhu Yili, Zhu Changluo's small eyes always roll around, and then stare at Zhu Yili without blinking, as if saying that I don't know you who you are?

What's even more strange is that when Empress Dowager Li teased him, he always laughed, and when Zhu Yili didn't tease him, he always stared at Zhu Yili. Once he teased, as soon as his hand touched his face, he would close his eyes and clench his fists and cry loudly, and his calves kept kicking, as if he was not welcoming Zhu Yili.

Every time he encounters this situation, Wang Shurong always smooths out and says, "Chang Luo recognizes his life."

But Zhu Yili has been here many times, so when Wang Shurong said "Chang Luo recognizes his life", he had to nod and smile and go over. He couldn't joke that Chang Luo was too smart and seemed to hate him as his uncle?

Look, after having fun today, Zhu Changluo still cried.

Zhu Yiliu had no choice but to put it down and handed Zhu Changluo to his mother Wang Shurong's arms.

Wang Shurong hugged Zhu Changluo away. Although she also had hatred for Zhu Yiliu in her heart, she was more grateful to Zhu Yiliu.

After all, Zhu Yili lets Zhu Yijun go and leaves her child by her side.

For her, this was already very satisfying.

Because she knew that her son Zhu Changluo's life and death were only in Zhu Yili's thoughts.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Yili showed enough kindness to the mother and son, she would have enough respect and gratitude to Zhu Yili.

After Wang Shurong held Zhu Changluo and left, only Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yiliu were left.

"Is there anything wrong with Liu'er?" Empress Dowager Li asked first.

"Mom, there's something wrong."

"What? Look at you looking sad. Did you encounter any difficult things?" Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhu Yili with a distinctive look and asked.

"Mom, it's not really a difficult thing."

"Say, what's the matter?"

"On the way to the Eastern Front, when I reached the center of the strait, I was attacked by pirates, and the officials and civilians who accompanied me suffered heavy casualties."

"..." Empress Dowager Li changed her color in horror and asked immediately, "Then is your elder brother injured?"

"Mom, it is said that it is not. She was just frightened and dared not order to continue moving forward."

"What should I do now? They have reached the center of the strait, and they may encounter pirates or Japanese pirates again when they advance and retreat. What if pirates or Japanese pirates really come?"

"Mom, I have sent Nurhaci to support me quickly and can mobilize the Fujian army at any time. We have no other better way here. But please don't worry, I believe in Ma Dong's ability and can guarantee the safety of my elder brother."

"So good! So good!" Empress Dowager Li breathed a little relieved.

Zhu Yiliu said again: "The child didn't plan to tell his mother so that he would not worry and worry, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he should let her know."

"Your brother won't have any trouble?"

"Before leaving, the child told Ma Dong that he must ensure the safety of his elder brother and must send the elder brother to Dongban safely. According to the child, there would be no accident."

"Ji'er sent Nurhaci to support him quickly. Isn't he just worried that something might happen to your elder brother?"

"To be honest, my mother said that the child sent Nurhaci to the south and could mobilize the Fujian army to support at any time. It was not because he was worried that something might happen to his elder brother, but because he wanted to show the whole world his determination to protect his elder brother in a comprehensive manner."

"Oh." Empress Dowager Li nodded, and then said quietly, "Mom knew that after Liu Er was deprived of her title and demoted to a commoner, your elder brother had interfered with it on the way to Beijing twice. I was really afraid that Liu Er would be like your elder brother, and she would have the same style on the surface and behind her back."

Zhu Yiliang replied and smiled: "Is it like this in my mother's mind?"

"Of course not." Empress Dowager Li said confidently, and then murmured, "I don't think that at the beginning, my mother didn't believe that your elder brother was such a person!"

"Don't worry, mom, I don't know." Zhu Yiliu grabbed Empress Dowager Li's hand, "Actually, the eldest brother did this because he was worried that the child would threaten him. After all, it was a sign of disconfidence, but the child did not."

"Yes." Empress Dowager Li nodded and said, after all, she was super confident in Zhu Yiliu's "confidence".

"Mom, I'm not worried about my brother's safety, but I'm worried about another problem."

"What?"

"Even if there are no pirates and Japanese pirates attack again, the elder brother and the others may be penniless when they arrive in the Eastern Federation. Since gold, silver and jewelry were stolen and so many officials and civilians were injured, the elder brother would most likely ask the court for support after he arrives in the Eastern Federation, but the son did not want to give it, because the son would also reform the royal family and should not be polite to the elder brother."

"Then isn't it difficult for your elder brother to go to the East?"

"Yes." Zhu Yili nodded.

"..." Empress Dowager Li remained silent and asked again, "What about supporting your elder brother in her personal name?"

"How much can I support my elder brother?" Zhu Yili shook his head, "The child came here to remind her that she should let the elder brother lead those people to do it themselves. After all, we are not the solution, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Okay, although my mother doesn't believe in your elder brother, she finally believes in you. If Liu Er says he doesn't give it, he won't give it. But as long as your elder brother has news, whether it's good or bad, Liu Er must remember to tell her as soon as possible."

"The boy knows."

"Hey!" Empress Dowager Li sighed deeply, "It would be great if your elder brother had such confidence as you."

"Mom, besides the big brother, there is another thing that I need to report to you."

"What?"

"It's the women in Chuxiu Palace. The children want to find something for them, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the time."

"What do you want them to do?"

"Led by the queen, we helped them set up a nursery and an embroidery workshop."
