Return to the Qing Dynasty(18)

They all said there was an emergency, so I had to see you even if I didn’t see you.

Lin Yutong nodded towards Zhang Qilin, "Call the fourth child to come in."

Tong Jia stood up quickly and went to help Luo Shi. She should have avoided it no matter what.

Lin Yutong saw that Luo Shi had just sat down not long ago, and the old man had not bothered enough to get up and sit down, so he said: "Sit peacefully." There are really things that need to be said while avoiding others, so he took Hongli out with him.

Already.

Jue Luo sat still and didn't move. She understood what her daughter meant. Do you just feel sorry for your mother-in-law? But this is not an ordinary family. She can be regarded as the grandmother of the prince's brother and a serious elder. After all, the royal family is

He is a man of dignity. When meeting the prince's elder brother, he must stand up and bow to him.

With this thought in mind, I got up.

"Old madam, please sit down." The curtain was lifted, and a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old came in. He was wearing a brocade robe and a golden belt around his waist. After entering the door, he threw his cloak to the waiter at the door.

, came in and smiled at himself, "Old madam, please sit back and relax, you are not an outsider."

This should be the fourth elder brother.

Jueluo moved and looked like he was about to stand up. Hongli quickly asked him to sit down, "At Huang's mother's place, we only talk about family etiquette. You are the grandmother, and I am your grandson..." He looked very affectionate.

, "Besides, from the clan point of view, you are also a serious elder..."

While chatting and laughing, he turned around and said hello to Lin Yutong, "Hello, mother."

Whether Lin Yutong likes it or not, he can't show his attitude on his face. At least on the surface, he must treat Hongli the same as he treats Hongshi Hongzhou. With a smile on his face, his tone is very gentle, "Get up

Well, there is no need for these false gifts. Didn't you go to the study today? Are you going out again? "

Hongli stood up and said with a smile: "My son went out today and got some good things, so he brought them to his mother for reward." He replied that Tong Jia had already received the gift. He then said

He gave me a hand and said, "Auntie, sit down safely. You are not an outsider."

Tong Jia hurriedly stood up and stepped back. Xindao saw that the relationship between the queen and her concubine was harmonious. The mother was kind and the son was filial. Even if the empress had no son, having such a concubine would be a good choice in the future.

Lin Yutong nodded to Hongli, pointed to the chair next to him and asked him to do it, "You are just going out, but you are using the banner of your elders..."

Hongli immediately called Chong Tianqu, "It's really a good thing. Take a look..." Then he shouted outside, "Bring it in."

Bi Tao came in with the plate, which the fourth brother had given to her before.

The hot cakes were brought in, and the steam was still visible. Bi Tao whispered: "It was still hot when I brought it."

Before Lin Yutong could speak, Tong Jiashi exclaimed, "This is a snack from a pastry shop called Li Ji."

Hongli hurriedly said: "That's right. I ate it once when I went out. I thought it tasted good. With my mother's taste, I must like it. But this shop is also very strange. This pastry is baked once a day. I want more.

It’s gone. No matter who buys it, it’s gone.”

"No!" Tong Jiashi turned to look at Lin Yutong, "This shop hasn't been opened for decades. It is said that it was closed because it refused to make one more batch for the nobleman, and the business could not continue in the capital.

I didn't expect that the door would open again now." He laughed and said, "My queen, if you try it, you may be able to remember it. Your favorite snacks before you left the palace were not the snacks from this restaurant. I will send the girl there one day.

I was waiting in front of the store. Eight times out of ten, I couldn't buy it. When I came back, I started to make trouble with E Niang..."

The Jueluo family who said this also sighed with emotion, "Yes! These are such snacks. You can only buy six at most at a time, and each one costs one penny."

It is extremely expensive for ordinary people.

Now that the queen is behind her, of course she doesn't care about the price. What's more, the concubine bought it specifically, so the meaning is even different.

Hongli looked surprised, "Surely it is the taste that E Niang likes?" His face showed a bit of complacency that only a teenager can have, "It seems that the tastes of my son and E Niang are very similar."

Lin Yutong smiled as she took the snack, put it into her mouth and smacked the taste. It was indeed unique. She could still remember the taste, so she just said: "You are interested!"

It's not intentional. I even found a snack that I loved to eat when I was a girl. The timing of delivering it was so coincidental. It happened to be when Jueluo and Tongjia came. Huang's mother stopped calling and simplified it to

Damn it.

This close person! Those who didn’t know it thought he was his biological son. Even at that time, Hong Yun was still called the emperor’s empress, and he never went beyond the rules. Even if they were kissing again, they still knew that he and Hong Yun were the same.

The difference between Hui and Hui is that I never expect the word 'direct'.

Tong Jiashi said hurriedly: "The fourth elder brother is considerate to the empress, which is also her blessing."

Jue Luo was speechless and a little annoyed. She couldn't say what the emperor was like casually.

Lin Yutong ignored Tong Jiashi and only asked Hongli, "How did the errand go? I delayed the errand. I'll see if your Majesty Ama doesn't beat you up."

Hongli chuckled and stuck out his tongue, "Then my son will leave. I'll come back to pay my respects to E Niang."

"Go!" Lin Yutong waved his hand, "We have guests today, so I won't keep you any longer."

Hongli responded with a smile, got up and let the girls put on their cloaks, and exited the room. The people inside could still faintly hear Hongli's voice, "...last time I was here with E Niang.

The sauced duck tastes great. Sister Bitao, remember to mention it to Eniang..." She looked like she was greedy for duck.

Tong Jiashi flattered Lin Yutong inside: "The fourth elder brother is really filial to the empress."

Lin Yutong was speechless and waved to Zizhu: "Take Mrs. Hou to the flower room to have a look."

Zizhu responded and helped Tong Jia. Tong Jia's face changed slightly and she was a little embarrassed. Apparently she didn't say the right thing and the queen didn't like to hear it. She reminded herself that the mother and daughter should have their own words.

She didn't dare to complain, so she got up obediently and followed Zizhu.

While Zizhu helped Tong Jiashi go out, she whispered: "The daffodils in the greenhouse are blooming very well. Madam, you will know if you go and take a look..."

Jueluo's eyes narrowed, and he waited until they were far away before saying, "I'd better take this girl Zizhu away."

Lin Yutong patted Jue Luo's hand and said, "I sent her to serve A Niang." It's nothing to worry about relatives outside the palace, but if you try to influence yourself as the master, you can't keep it. I started thinking about it some time ago.

Regarding Jue Luo's birthday, it would be weird if someone didn't want to use her mouth to blow her hair. I haven't touched her during this period, just looking for an opportunity. I didn't expect to be so indifferent.

Seeing that there was no one waiting in the room, Mrs. Jueluo hurriedly said: "Mother, if you say something you shouldn't say, you should be careful. If others don't look at you, you only look at E Niang. In the house these years, you have been the leader.

Those brothers, some were left behind by their original wives, some were concubines...Have I not treated them well over the years? I didn't mean it sincerely, but I finally tried my best. But in the end..." My daughter married into the royal family.

, she is still the legitimate wife of the prince. She was fine in the early years, but since she lost her eldest brother... her status in the palace has also plummeted. "If I can give birth to a child, I will give birth to one by myself. People say, 'Forty-eight, you will get an autumn melon.' Empress."

It's still early to reach forty-eight." He said with a pause, "But it's still you who matters. If you really don't have it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you sit firmly in the queen's position, everyone has to hold it."

He didn't say a word about Hongli, but everything he said was that he was not born by himself, which is totally unreliable.

Jueluo didn't dare to go into detail. It was true that the empress was his daughter, but she was only thirteen years old when she got married. Now she has been married for thirty years, and she is his empress. This affection is really great.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid she really can't be compared with Long Live Lord. Even though she has been unhappy these past few years, when talking about the people close to her, the first thing that comes to mind is Long Live Lord.

But what can be done?

She sighed, "Really speaking, if a couple has a good relationship, the other half will make people feel more at ease than having children."

That’s true!

When people grow old and become widowed, even if their children are filial, they still feel very pitiful when they are alone. I think Luo is the stepmother, much younger than Fei Yanggu, so after all, she has been a widow for forty years.

Lin Yutong sighed, "If you don't feel comfortable living in the palace, live in the garden outside the city. I will send someone to serve you." Anyway, I don't think I will live in the palace permanently in the future. It will be very convenient to meet each other then.

.

Jue Luo Shi shook his head, "It's a slap in their faces if they continue to make trouble like this. It's good to live in the mansion. You have to care about the face of the dead as well as the living. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you, Ama, down below."

"And another one..." She lowered her voice and pointed outside, "They all have very big hearts. I have to watch them from the house so that they don't cause trouble for you accidentally."

In the eyes of others, this woman is naturally tied to her natal family. But her current situation has nothing to do with her natal family's sincerity.

Lin Yutong didn't have any feelings for Jue Luo, but to be honest, knowing that the other party was not a confused old lady, it was easy to talk to him no matter what. After the mother and daughter talked, Lin Yutong didn't bother to leave any food, and asked someone to call Tong Jia.

He asked them to be sent back, "Zizhu wants to follow."

Zizhu was stunned for a moment, "Yes! My slave, the old lady, and my wife will come back as soon as possible after they return home."

Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Just serve the old lady on my behalf."

Zizhu's face suddenly turned pale. What does this mean?

Everyone in the Nuan Pavilion, whether they were masters or servants, was as silent as a shudder. Tong Jia's face turned pale. She knew who the queen was coming for. It turned out that she had never been asked to enter the palace. Turns out she was here. They all treated her as the master's wife.

How much I trust this girl Zizhu, it turns out it’s nothing more than that.

Lin Yutong asked someone to pack Zizhu's things and rewarded her with money, "You are serving the old lady for me. In the future, I will make the decision for you and find a good marriage."

Zizhu's face turned pale. Do you dare not to agree? Can you not agree? She remembered what her empress asked her a few months ago, asking if her family was in the Cheng'enhou Mansion. What did she say at that time?

It's really not a big deal that the Queen lacks a serving girl. It's not as important as paying attention to what the Queen rewarded her mother. Considering Luo's face, Lin Yutong didn't reward him less, but it was just something that the little girl's family liked.

Ask the old man to take it back and play with the granddaughters. Some people are flattering him, which is just to relieve his boredom.

In addition to the reward given by Lin Yutong, the Queen Mother also sent people to give rewards. Before Jue Luo Shi came, she sent people to Cining Palace to inquire. Seeing that the Queen Mother was very busy and had time after her death, she could take Jue Luo Shi there to say hello. The Queen Mother is a smart person.

, I have never been someone who likes to make things difficult for others. I came here at a young age, and the distance I came from was not short, and I kowtowed and said hello. Even if I accompanied you and said common words, I had to think about it three or five times in my heart before I dared to do so.

It wasn't enough to talk about going out, so I just said I caught a cold and disappeared. But when I left, I gave a heavy reward to the Ulanala family. From the Jueluo family to the child who was still nursing,

Not a single one was missed, giving Lin Yutong a lot of face.

Even the concubines who had not left the palace were very generous and generous.

Only then did Jue Luo take Lin Yutong's hand and pat it hard. She didn't know what Long Live the Lord was doing to her daughter, but since her daughter-in-law was getting along with her mother-in-law, her life was destined not to be too sad. She felt so relieved that she left the palace.

His steps are much lighter.
