"The queen is reading to Chen'er again?"

Yuan Zhi came in from outside unexpectedly, startling the queen.

She looked up and saw that it was Yuanzhi, and immediately put down the book and hugged the child up, "Why is the emperor here?" Chen'er just woke up and listened to the book for a while, and the emperor hugged her. ”

Yuan Zhi took the child over and raised it with a smile, "Chen'er is so well-behaved, I listened to it in the courtyard for a while, but I didn't hear him cry." The voice of Queen Xu is reading is so good, I want to listen to it here. ”

Empress Zhou lowered her head shyly, "The emperor made fun of his concubines again, where is it good?" It's just that the emperor doesn't dislike it. As for Chen'er, he couldn't help it if he wanted to, he couldn't speak. ”

Yuanzhi hugged the eldest prince for a long time, and said to Queen Zhou: "You continue to read, I hold Chen'er and listen." ”

Empress Zhou had no choice but to continue to read that page of the book, and Yuan Zhi sat on the side with the child in her arms and listened quietly, quite a feeling of being quiet and good.

The shadows of the sun outside gradually became clear, and the shade of the trees cast dappled shadows that swayed on the courtyard floor.

When Empress Zhou finally finished reading this page, she raised her head and saw that the eldest prince had fallen asleep in Yuanzhi's arms.

She gently put down the book and took the eldest prince over, "Your Majesty, let the child go back to sleep." ”

The nurse came up and hugged the eldest prince back.

Empress Zhou then remembered what was going on, and said to Yuanzhi: "What did the emperor do at this time, isn't there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I heard some gossip, related to Min Guiren."

Empress Zhou nodded after hearing this, "I was about to tell the emperor about this, Concubine Li's palace maid insulted Min Guiren, it seems that it was because Min Guiren slept last night." It happened that Dan'er went to find Min Guiren, so he disposed of those palace maids in accordance with the palace rules, fifty boards per person, and sent them to Xin Zheku on an errand. ”

Dan'er is Queen Zhou's right and left hand, and when the palace maid violates the palace rules, she can deal with it on behalf of Queen Zhou.

She has always been fair in her life, so the masters and servants in the palace are also convinced.

Yuan Zhi nodded after hearing this, "It's handled very well, and it's worthy of being the person called by the queen, and it's very sensible." ”

Dan'er stood aside, and when she heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to thank her, "Thank you for the emperor's praise, the slave is ashamed." ”

Motoji smiled, "Get up." However, I am afraid that this matter is not only the problem of those palace maids, but also the poor discipline of Concubine Li, the master. She is the head of the first house, how can she be so indulgent to her palace people? ”

Dan'er said: "Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't understand this matter." Regardless of whether Concubine Li is not well disciplined, the slaves and maids can only deal with those palace maids, and they dare not speculate about the master at will. ”

This is said to be even more well-behaved and impeccable.

Even Yuanzhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Good girl, no wonder the queen feels sorry for you." You've done the right thing, and I should reward you. ”

After that, he glanced at Xiao Jizi, and Xiao Jizi smiled: "Please Miss Dan'er follow me to the main hall to receive the reward." ”

Dan'er hurriedly knelt down to thank her, and looked at Queen Zhou, who nodded slightly at her, "Go, this is the emperor's reward, but it's disrespectful." ”

Dan'er had no choice but to follow Xiao Jizi obediently, only to hear Queen Zhou say: "The concubine also knows that Concubine Li can't get out of this matter, but after all, she didn't directly participate, and punishing her palace maid can be regarded as a warning." ”

When Motoji heard this, he smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

It is inevitable that the harem concubines will be jealous, he doesn't care, and he doesn't need to care.

It's just that from today on, he doesn't really want Concubine Li to sleep anymore......

"The next time the queen goes to the academy again, I will go with you. Listening to P6 and P7, the children love to listen to your lessons. ”

Yuanzhi changed the topic, and Empress Zhou smiled a little shyly, "If the emperor wants to go, the concubines have to prepare well." However, the concubine heard the sixth brother and the seventh brother talking about it yesterday, saying that they were going to some kind of horse race, and they were going to go with the children in the school. ”

"Horse racing?"

Yuan Zhile was happy, "Where to go for horse racing on this hot day?" I'm not afraid of heat stroke. ”

Queen Zhou said: "The concubine is also worried about this, so she specially asked." said that the queen mother had already agreed, and wanted to come to the queen mother to be thoughtful, so that they would not suffer from heat stroke. ”

Yuanzhi said: "If this is the case, I will go with you to see it at that time." The scenery in the Imperial Garden is just right, but the flowers and gardens are too quiet, and you really need something noisy. ”

Empress Zhou waited for his words, and said with a smile: "Then thank you to the emperor, when the time comes, bring the sisters of the harem together, and let everyone take a fresh look." ”

The harem women have lived in the house for many years, and such activities are rare.

Queen Zhou was especially unlucky, two years before they entered the palace, the palace also held various military competitions, and the concubines of the harem were full of eyes.

Didn't the eldest princess pick the pony at that time?

At the mention of the harem sisters, Yuan Zhi couldn't help but think of someone, he waved behind him, and instructed the palace people: "Send someone to the Queen Mother to inquire about how this horse race is made." ”

Empress Zhou raised her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that the emperor is really relieved about this matter......

"Horse racing?"

The weather was hot, and Duofu was lying on the rocking chair under the porch to enjoy the shade, when he saw a familiar little eunuch walk into the courtyard and look at the people around the emperor.

He scrambled to his feet from his rocking chair.

After hearing that the little eunuch had come to inquire about the news of the horse race, he sat down with relief, "Come, sit down, on this hot day, drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup and I'll tell you slowly." ”

"Hey, thank you Father-in-law."

The little eunuch also sat down, and Duofu drank the sour plum soup himself, and said to him, "That's the case. Didn't the Queen Mother let the forest in the northwest corner be cleaned up and played with by the Sixth and Seventh Princes? I've been running a horse in it before. A newly opened river was added to the back, and from here to the forest, you can take a small boat to the forest, and the scenery is good all the way. ”

"Two days ago, the sixth prince and the seventh prince grinded the queen mother, saying that they hadn't run a horse for a long time, and those students in the school wanted to meet their little ponies. The Queen Mother said, since this is the case, just hold a small horse race, so that those little sons can not only see, but also ride it themselves, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

"That's how the horse race was decided, and the Queen Mother also said that she would take a lottery out for everyone, and the first place could be rewarded!"

After Duofu finished speaking, he took another sip of sour plum soup.

The little eunuch nodded again and again, and then said, "So that's what happened." I heard the emperor and the queen discuss this matter, and the emperor said that he would also come to see it, and he would bring the queen mother and other mothers and children in the harem. ”

Duofu smiled: "How come even the emperor and the queen know about this?" Then I'm going to tell the Queen Mother, and I'm going to make preparations early. ”

The little eunuch also stood up, "I'll also go back to tell the emperor, thank you father-in-law for the soup." ”

……

Su Youyi took a nap and woke up to find out about it.

After listening to Duofu's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Wouldn't that be cheap for Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi?" The emperor and queen are here, and they have to add color to them. ”

Duofu said: "If this is the case, the servants will let people prepare the forest, and wait for the emperor, the queen and the masters of the harem to go." ”

Su Youyi said: "Since this matter is so big, even the emperor and they have to come, it's not good not to invite all the concubines." You send someone to tell the concubines and let them have fun. ”

"Yes."
