The fifth prince's reaction was unexpected and reasonable.
Under the guidance of Gu Yu and Junze, the fifth prince was no longer the willful child who vented his emotions wantonly.
Gu Yu quietly observed the Queen Mother's reaction.
Like Junze, she was very curious about the attitudes of her grandfather and grandson.
The Queen Mother didn't seem to remember the past events in her mind. She raised her hand, touched the fifth prince's face, and said, "She looks very much like your mother."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him became nervous again and looked at the fifth prince quietly.
The fifth prince shook his head, his eyes full of regret, and said: "It's a pity that I have never met my mother."
The Queen Mother smiled gently and said, "Then you should get closer to your aunt and your cousin."
The fifth prince said: "I have always been close to my aunt and cousin."
The Queen Mother took off the Buddhist beads on her wrist, then took the fifth prince's hand and put it on his wrist.
The Queen Mother said: "When I first arrived in Mount Wutai, the abbot of the temple gave this to me. Small-leaf red sandalwood, which has the effect of calming the body and calming the energy. I have carried it for sixteen years and have become tainted with Buddha nature. Now I give it to you. It is the imperial grandmother.
of my heart.”
The fifth prince imitated the appearance of a monk, holding Buddhist beads, clasping his hands together, and said: "Thank you, Grandma Imperial."
The meeting between the fifth prince and the queen mother was unexpectedly peaceful.
After reminiscing about old times, the Queen Mother's chariot followed everyone back to Beijing.
Gu Yu observed that a eunuch with a burned face was mixed in with the Queen Mother's honor guard.
Junze obviously found out too.
The two looked at each other from a distance and knew that this was Hua Jincheng.
The Cining Palace, which had been empty for sixteen years, once again welcomed its owner.
The Holy One put down his political affairs and came to see the Queen Mother.
Seeing the Queen Mother's simple appearance, she was also surprised. After saying goodbye, she said to the people accompanying her: "How do you serve me?"
The Queen Mother sat at the head of the main hall of Cining Palace, finally looking a bit like a Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family are used to being clean in Mount Wutai, so there is no need for the Holy One to criticize them harshly."
The Holy Spirit asked: "How can this be done?"
The Queen Mother looked at the dazzling array of ornaments in the room and said to herself: "It's so luxurious. Why haven't I noticed before that ordinary people can't afford any thing here?"
The Holy One said: "It is a good thing for a queen mother to pity the common people, but as the queen mother of a country, she still needs these things to decorate her."
The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family are half-Buddhists, and now they take things outside of themselves very lightly. I heard that the Holy Master is kind and has released many palace servants this year, so I will convert the things in the Ai family's house into cash to supplement them.
.”
The Holy Spirit said: "If you insist on doing this, your son can only do it."
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The Ai family came all the way and are a little tired. Your Majesty, please go back first. We will have plenty of time to talk in the future."
The Holy Emperor hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Is the Queen complaining that her son was cruel and invited you to Mount Wutai?"
The Queen Mother seemed to be confused and said: "When the Jun family forced the Holy One to give an explanation, you were in a dilemma. Why did the Ai family blame you?"
The Holy Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the Queen Mother really practiced in Mount Wutai for so many years and had her character destroyed and wanted to live her life in the palace.
If it is false, the Queen Mother sixteen years later is no longer as domineering as she was sixteen years ago, and she is not the same Holy Emperor who was restrained in every aspect when she first ascended the throne.
The Holy Sage said: "Mother, take a good rest, and my son will retire."
----------------------------------------
"Fifth Prince!"
"Fifth Prince!"
"Fifth Prince!"
"Wake up!"
The fifth prince suddenly woke up from the table, with panic on his face and cold sweat on his forehead.
The person who just woke him up was Gu Yu.
The Sixth Prince and the Young Master beside him were all watching him.
Gu Yu handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat and said, "Fifth Prince, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"
The fifth prince took a few breaths and said, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
After inviting the Queen Mother back to the palace, the fifth prince has been absent-minded, and even fell into a nightmare in class today.
Gu Yu understood immediately after thinking about it that the death of Queen Xiaomin had always been a psychological shadow for the fifth prince.
Now that the culprit has returned to the palace, it would be strange if he didn't live there.
After the classes in the South Study Room were over, Gu Yu suddenly stopped the fifth prince and said, "Fifth prince, these beads are not convenient for writing or practicing martial arts, so I'd better not bring them with me."
The fifth prince touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, which were given to him by the Queen Mother.
The fifth prince said: "I like this string of Buddhist beads, it can make me calm down."
Gu Yu confirmed again that there was nothing wrong with the beads.
So what can make the fifth prince feel calm, is it the Buddhist beads or something else?
There was a fog in front of me.
In the evening, Gu Yu met Junze at Fei Restaurant.
Gu Yu came up and said: "The fifth prince will marry the prince's concubine next month. It's time to ask the Holy Father to let him participate in politics."
Perhaps the return of the Queen Mother has stimulated the fifth prince, who has been working very hard recently.
Gu Yu could see the ambition of the fifth prince, and thinking of Uncle Fei Bai whose health was deteriorating, Gu Yu felt that it was time to add fuel to the fire.
If she wants revenge, Junze will be her biggest obstacle.
But behind the fifth prince, there is not only Junze, but also many supporters who are helpless against the current situation.
They knew in their hearts that His Majesty favored the fifth prince among several princes, but the delay in establishing a prince made them feel uneasy.
As long as the fifth prince has desires, it is not difficult to incite these people.
Junze said: "Is this why you came to me to tell me this?"
Gu Yu's eyes were full of calmness and he said: "This is a troubled time, I hope the prince will take it seriously."
Junze seemed to have guessed Gu Yu's plan, and said, "I heard that your side wife has many contacts with Mrs. Chang's family?"
The Chang family is one of the forces supporting the fifth prince.
He wanted to push the fifth prince to the throne as soon as possible, so that he could achieve the success of serving the dragon and raise his family's status to a higher level in Kyoto.
Gu Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said, "I don't know much about the interactions between women."
Seeing that she didn't admit it, Junze didn't say anything more.
The purpose of the warning has been achieved. If you talk too much, you will have another quarrel with Gu Yu.
Junze picked up the topic just now and said: "Letting the fifth prince participate in politics too early is harmful to his character."
Gu Yudao: "The fifth prince is already sixteen years old. It's time to go to the court and hone his skills."
Junze said: "Let's wait until next year and let him enter the court with the Sixth Prince."
The Holy Emperor has a strong desire for control. If the fifth prince enters the court and participates in politics alone and his power is taken away, he will definitely be sensitive.
If the fifth prince and the sixth prince are together, they can share the attention of the Holy Emperor.
Gu Yudao: "Getting married and starting a business. The fifth prince is about to get married. This is the best time."
Junze retorted: "Gu Yu, you know clearly whether now is the best time."
Gu Yu's eyes became colder and colder, and he said: "It doesn't matter what you or I say, but you can listen to what the fifth prince thinks."
Junze frowned. He was glad that Gu Yu could follow the fifth prince.
But now, he sensed that something was getting out of his control.
