Congratulations on opening the coffin

Shen Ruo nodded after hearing the words: "That's okay, you lead the way."

But Fudelu hesitated for a while, looking at her: "Mother, you just dress like this? How do those people below do things? It's been so long, and they don't change your clothes for you."

Shen Ruo said disapprovingly: "Oh, they changed it, but they changed it back for me. That outfit is too troublesome. If I meet an assassin, I won't even have time to run."

"..."

Whose empress is thinking about meeting the assassin and escaping every day?
Oh, it's his mother, that's all right.

Now, the empress is the only one to be favored. In this harem, isn't it that her old man can do whatever she wants?

"Okay, then don't keep the empress dowager waiting, and ask your empress to drive you to Tsinghua Palace."

Riding on the phoenix, I staggered for a while, but I didn't expect it to be quite a long way. After walking for almost two quarters of an hour, I finally arrived at Tsinghua Palace.

This Tsinghua Palace is not the palace where previous empress dowagers lived, only because this empress dowager was tired of all kinds of noise in the palace, so she chose the most remote palace to live in, eating fast, chanting Buddha, chanting scriptures and burning incense every day.

If it weren't for Shen Ruo's escape, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager wouldn't have to be dragged into these mortal worlds anymore.

These contents, of course, were mentioned by Fu Fulu to her on the road, perhaps to ease her mood.

After all, when she was Princess Jing, she was often troubled by the empress dowager at that time. Even though the relationship between the two has eased a lot later, this psychological shadow has always remained.

It should be said that he is the elder of the three dynasties, the eunuch chief eunuch who has served three emperors, his heart is more than that of the lotus.

Shen Ruo held her hands and listened to Fu Lu who was following the sedan talking about this to pass the boring time.

When she arrived at Tsinghua Palace, the silence inside was a bit beyond her surprise.

In such a huge palace, there are only the Empress Dowager and an old nanny who was married into the palace as a dowry, these two people.

When she got out of the sedan chair, the old trees planted in the aisle on both sides were covered with a thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves. It seemed that they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

Stepping over the high threshold, the floor tiles in the hall are clean and clean. They should have been wiped carefully every day. The expensive vases around are also clean and bright as new. There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the air. Can calm the mind.

But before she approached, an old lady in coarse cloth and green clothes came over, holding a jade seal wrapped in yellow cloth in her hand, and handed it to her respectfully: "The Empress Dowager ordered the slaves to deliver the things to you." You, you don't have to pay special greetings."

Fudelu stepped forward, took the jade seal with both hands for her, and then asked in a low voice: "Is the empress dowager feeling unwell?"

This old nanny's face is covered with wrinkles. She is more than 70 years old. Among the ancients, she is already considered a long-lived person, but her body exudes a calm temperament, like an ancient well, everything is gone. It won't let her have the slightest disturbance.

She lowered her eyelids and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the empress dowager has always been in good health, but she doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders. Now that the phoenix seal is handed over to the new empress, the empress dowager has completed her mission."

Her eyes full of vicissitudes and calmness turned to Shen Ruo's face. After looking at it quietly for a while, she smiled slightly and said: "Princess Jing, the Queen Mother has a message for you, don't forget your true heart."

She bowed lightly, stopped talking, and turned around slowly and steadily to leave.

Fudelu couldn't help whispering: "This nanny is really old, why do you still call you Princess Jing?"

Shen Ruo didn't say anything, and went out of the palace straight away, and sat on Feng Huo when she came.

When she was walking halfway, she turned her head and forgot the gradually receding palace, which stood there quietly, showing decay and mottled by the baptism of wind and rain.

She sighed softly, afraid that she would not be able to fulfill the empress dowager's entrustment.

When she came back this time, she was ready to bid farewell to her past self.

In the evening, Xiao Chen, who had stolen a moment of leisure, came to Kunning Palace and had dinner with her as promised.

While the palace maids and eunuchs were serving food, he was holding Xiao Fengyin in his arms and playing with the little guy. The little guy was giggling in harmony, revealing his pink gums.

Xiao Chen seemed to be surprised to find something, pulled Shen Ruo and said in surprise: "Look quickly, a tooth has popped out of Xiao Fengyin's mouth, it looks thin and white, no wonder ordinary people always say it looks like a rice tooth. "

As he spoke, he stretched his hand in with a childlike innocence, and touched it with his fingertips, but Shen Ruo slapped it away: "Don't mess around, you will make his teeth crooked, and in the future, his son will be full of mouth. Crooked teeth, cry, don't come to me."

He immediately cleared his throat in embarrassment and said curiously: "Xiao Fengyin is almost six months old, and it's time for him to be able to talk. Come on, come and learn from your father, call him daddy, daddy!"

"Ah-"

"It's Dad, Dad!"

Shen Ruo couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes: "Children won't talk until they're about one year old. What are you in a hurry for?"

He said helplessly: "Isn't this the first time I've brought a baby? Lin'er doesn't kiss me, now I have to cultivate a good relationship with Feng Yin while Feng Yin is still young."

At this time, the dishes were all set, Shen Ruo first took a bowl of Sanxian soup to rest her stomach, and when he heard Lin'er was mentioned, she couldn't help asking: "Speaking of which, why doesn't Lin'er come to eat with us?"

Xiao Chen was teasing his youngest son to be happy, he didn't even bother to eat, and said disapprovingly: "He is still discussing with the prime ministers how to deal with the remnants of the Demon Cult in the imperial study."

"Those Demon Cultists are very loyal to Yun Qingxuan. Yun Qingxuan is dead, and they follow his order before his death to massacre martial arts people everywhere, and those who survived by chance are looking for Demon Cultists everywhere. In the hope of revenge, it turned the lives of the people into a mess, and even normal farming could not be carried out, and officials from all over the place were devastated."

"Besides, these days going south, the court has piled up a lot of government affairs, I'm afraid I won't have to rest for half a month."

He let out a long sigh, turned to look at Shen Ruo, and said with a smile, "When Lin'er is well trained, I will pass on the throne to him, and then we will be able to travel around the palace. Just be patient."

Shen Ruo drank the last sip of soup in the bowl, put the bowl back on the table, and said unhurriedly: "Since you have so many things to do, why don't I help you?"

"Huh?" Xiao Chen suddenly looked at her in surprise.

"Why, don't you want to? Still think I can't do it?"

"No, of course not."

He hastily vetoed it, with a look of disbelief, "It's just that you used to hate participating in these government affairs the most?"

Shen Ruo said calmly: "What I hate is working with those politicians who only want to climb to high positions and don't care about the lives of the people. But now I think about it. Instead of hating them and avoiding them, it is better to treat these unworthy politicians Guys are kicked out of positions that don’t belong to them.”
