464,

It was Xingmei who cooked the porridge. In terms of quickness of hands and feet, Xingmei was sometimes better than Xinggui, especially when it came to housework.

Xingmei neatly covered the porridge with a cotton cover and carried it by himself. Naturally, he wanted to accompany Twenty-Twenty.

This has been a common practice for many years, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But this time, Twenty-Twenty took a look at it quietly and said slowly, "It's getting cold. Xingmei, please give this porridge to the third princess, and send some to the fourth princess. Just ask Xinggui to carry these." .”

Xingmei raised his eyebrows and had no choice but to let go.

Xinggui reached out to take it and said softly, "Master still loves you. This damn Lenghantian, Master is reluctant to send you on errands."

Xing Mei curled his lips and said nothing. He just turned around to deal with the porridge that was going to be sent to the princesses.

Twenty-two felt a little unhappy in her heart, but still walked away firmly.

There was a strong cold wind in the long street, and Xinggui said softly, "Master... Xingmei seems to be a little unhappy."

No. 22 nodded, "When the Emperor's affairs are over, let's arrange for her to leave the palace. You will all be twenty-five next year, so it's time."

Xinggui sighed softly, that was all he could do.

.

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, Nian and Twenty first went to the Taishang Emperor Zi Palace to salute, and then walked into the study room with vegetarian porridge.

The emperor nodded happily and stretched out his hand from afar, "You're here."

Twenty-two presented the plain porridge, personally helped the emperor fill a small bowl and handed him a small spoon.

The emperor swallowed a few mouthfuls and said warmly, "How are the children?"

Nian Twenty nodded, "It goes without saying that the third and fourth princesses are both grown girls. Although Miankai was restless in the past, he has become a lot more sensible these days. Now he spends all day quietly in his own room. Yes, I don’t dare to make any noise or make a fuss.”

The emperor nodded happily, "He also knows that Huang Mafa is no longer here..."

Twenty-two held back a sob and slowly told the emperor about the ten princesses' entry.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the porridge bowl, and squeezed Twenty-Twenty's hand, "You handled it very well. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to make a fuss on the spot and want to see someone."

After all, the tenth princess was Princess Gu Lun, and she was also the daughter whom the Supreme Emperor loved dearly in his later years. If she got into trouble, the emperor would not be able to punish her easily.

Twenty-Twenty sighed softly, "I can only know the pros and cons. She can make trouble, so I will remind her what will happen after the trouble... If she makes trouble for He Shen now, what will she want to do in the future? What’s left to do?”

For a woman, her father-in-law is important, but after all, it is not as important as her husband and small family. If the ten princesses really broke up with the emperor and the twenty-twenty at this time, the emperor might not be able to do so during the mourning period of the emperor. I will tolerate her for once, but what about the future?

Does she want to ruin even the future of the ten-faced prince-in-law Fengshen Yinde?

"Fortunately, the princess is not confused at all. She is the Emperor's daughter after all, and the Emperor's sister. Even though Concubine Dun is confused, she still understands the importance."

The emperor nodded, "If she can go back to comfort Heshen's family, I can rest assured and have my hands free."

The candlelight swayed alone in the cold night of the first month. Even though it was fire, it could not warm the wind and cold of the winter night.

Nian Twen stared at the candlelight and said softly, "Your Majesty, He Shen is missing. The tenth princess has already noticed that there must be people in the harem who are more sensitive than the tenth princess. If the delay lasts too long, it will make people's hearts wander."

The emperor nodded slowly.

N22 stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's hand, "I am good at making decisions. I have told the tenth princess that He Shen will 'go home' in the next few days... I think that the emperor will make a decision to kill, so this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

.”

The emperor nodded, but also frowned.

"I was also a little hesitant. Khan Ama had endured Ertai and Zhang Tingyu for ten years; but at this time, Khan Ama's body was still cold..."

Nian Twen understands that although everyone knows it, when the former emperor's assistant ministers come to the new emperor, not many of them will die a good death.

The desire for power sometimes makes a powerful minister forget the distinction between monarch and minister, and forget that he is just a minister and slave. Therefore, the new emperors all chose these auxiliary ministers as targets for establishing their authority.

.

However, after all, the Supreme Emperor had just passed away in front of us. If we deal with the late emperor's favorites so early, if we are not careful, there will be an uproar.

Twenty-Twenty's eyes turned slightly, "I am Niu Hulu, and I have been raised with green teeth since I was a child, so I have always paid close attention to the reactions of wolves when hunting - they can follow them for a long time, for days and nights.

They lie in ambush and wait, but when the opportunity comes, they will definitely pounce on it decisively, bite the prey's throat decisively, and never let go!"

"Because they know how precious the opportunity they have been waiting for for so long is. The opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. If there is a slight hesitation when attacking, and the prey escapes, there will be endless troubles - even if the prey itself is also

If it is serious, it may trigger a backlash, and then it will be too late to regret not resolutely biting its throat."

The emperor was shocked, and Shen Shu held Twenty-Twenty's hand again.

Twenty-two raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "Sir, Khan Ama is watching from the sky. If he really did not allow me to touch Heshen, then he would not firmly regard me as the crown prince in these years. His intention has never been the same for more than 20 years."

Change."

"Besides, to the Supreme Emperor, what is He Shen? He is just a slave, a hawk and a dog. And who is I? I am the successor of the Supreme Emperor, the continuation of the Supreme Emperor's bloodline, and the person entrusted by the Supreme Emperor to bring about the great Qing Dynasty!"

"Who can't tell the difference between a slave and a son? Only a fool would think that a slave is more important than a son, right?"

When Twenty-Twenty said such deliberately childish words, the emperor couldn't help but chuckle. He took Twenty-Twenty's little hand and pressed it again and again.

"I just like your spirit, which is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. What's even more rare is that you are already in the middle palace, but your spirit is still undiminished. As I get older, I tend to look forward and backward."

Twenty-two raised his hand and touched the emperor's chin, "My beard has been growing very fast these past two days."

The emperor gently closed his eyes and held Twenty-Twenty tightly in his arms, "...lucky to have you."

There was a slight sound at the door.

Twenty-six was startled and asked quickly, "Are there any mice in the study?"

She is a wolf girl herself, and she has raised wolves since she was a child. She is not afraid of wolves, but is afraid of mice.

It was also because my family was poor when I was young, and even the houses I lived in were rented. During those years, I moved here and there. Some houses were no longer occupied for some time, so you could see mice as soon as you entered the house. There were times in the 20's.

I was packing up the cabinets in the newly moved house, but as soon as I opened the drawer, I touched something soft and alive... I left something behind and was afraid to go away.

The emperor was also alert and asked in a serious voice: "Who is outside?"

There was a cotton curtain on the door, and with the sound of clothes rustling, a man walked in. Without daring to raise his head, he knelt down at the door and said, "My son, please give me a greeting, my little mother's greetings. That's my son."

My son apologizes for disturbing Khan Amma and Xiao'e Niang."

Nian and Twenty breathed a sigh of relief first, "It turns out to be the second elder brother. It's so late, are you still studying?"

Ever since they got married in Mianning, Nian and Twenty has long been known as "Second Brother" in front of others, and no longer calls him by his first name like he did when he was a child.

The emperor's study room was a filial piety, but the second elder brother still had to go to the study room to study. Therefore, he came earlier and came home later every day, trying his best to fulfill his filial piety to the emperor.

Mian Ning lowered his head and replied, "Khan Amma misses Huang Mafa and thinks about his family and country, and often stays up all night. How can my son dare to slack off at all? He can only learn from Huang Mafa and Khan Amma and do his best.

.”

Nian Twen nodded happily and said softly, "I'm here to deliver some vegetarian porridge to your Khan Ama. Second brother, please use some too."

The emperor also said, "Your Majesty Mafa and I both know your filial piety. Get up and have some porridge."

Mian Ning stood up respectfully and retreated to the side to eat porridge quietly.

The night was like a dark curtain, hanging quietly in this area of ​​​​the sky and earth, separating the emperor from 220 and Mianning invisibly.

Nian and Twenty did not disturb the second elder brother while he was eating porridge, and spoke softly to the emperor about unfinished words.

"...Tomorrow, I have to go and see Seventeenth Fujin. By the way, my second elder brother happened to catch up today, so I will ask my second elder brother Fujin to come with me. The seventeenth siblings are the second daughter-in-law's biological aunt.

Going there will make Seventeen Fujin feel more at ease."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Hmm? Are the seventeenth younger brother and sister sick? But these days, the flags have been raised in mourning, have you caught a cold?"

Twenty-Twenty said softly, "Seventeen Fujin has often caught cold in winter and early spring in the past two years. This is the period of filial piety for Khan Ama, and she must have been heartbroken by grief, so she fell ill again."

The emperor nodded, "Let's spare her from having to gather together to mourn tomorrow. I'm busy, so I can't take care of them for the time being. Old Seventeen is with me all day long, so it's inevitable that I won't be able to go home."

No. 22 nodded, "The Emperor has just granted the title of Duke to the seventeenth younger brother. This is all a happy thing. The seventeenth younger brother and sister are sick at this juncture, which makes people really worried."

The emperor quietly raised his eyes and stared at Twenty-Twenty.

After getting along with her for so many years and looking like this, the emperor knew that she had something to say.

The emperor glanced at Mian Ning from a distance and saw that Mian Ning abided by the rules and ate his porridge quietly without raising his head or eyes. He didn't even look at them. The emperor felt relieved and squeezed Twenty-Twenty's little hand.

"Why don't you just say it?"

Twenty-two also quietly looked back at Mianning first.

It was also strange that Mianning had not finished eating just a bowl of porridge for such a long time. Since he had not finished eating, it was difficult to throw it away.

There was already noise coming in from outside, the key was about to be placed, and she had to finish her sentence quickly.

Nian and Twenty thought, talking about Yonglin, he was also Mianning's biological uncle, and besides, there was nothing going behind his back, so it didn't matter.

The 220th brother said softly, "...it is natural for me to make my seventeenth brother the county king. It's just that the seventeenth brother is different from the eighth brother. The eleventh brother, after all, the seventeenth brother is also the native emperor of Empress Xiaoyi.

Ah Ma...the two elder brothers have both been granted the title of prince, and the seventeenth brother has only been granted the title of county prince, so I feel a little unhappy about this."

The emperor let out a soft "heh" and couldn't help pinching him again, "You are the only one who cares about him! No one else dares to mention this to me, but you are the only one who does it for him."
