There was a fire, and there was silence in the dark room.

Xiao Zhen could not sleep, she thought of Ren Jinxi, thinking of the noble concubine, thinking of so many concubine in the harem, but which of these women was sincere to the emperor?

What Runer said in the palace that day suddenly stamped his mind, "Father should be very lonely."His great generals and his wife have chosen an ordinary life, and the turbulent government has only left him.”

“What are you thinking?”Han Ziran turned around and put his hands on Xiao Zhen waist.

“The first emperor.”He did not shy away from talking about the first of the two.

“Does the Queen remind you of him?”

Xiao really huh.

“Heaven has the mission of the Son of Heaven, and he has left, and those who live will live.”Han Ziran said softly that he was naturally referring to Ren Jinxiu, and the noble wife said to them: "The Queen Mother really did have some things, but she has always been like this, and we will ignore it."

“I know.No, no, no. Go to sleep."Xiao Zhen turned around, his hands hugged his husband tightly, and heard the voice coming from the top of his head: "If one day you go to me first, I will not live alone, even if I must live, I will only have you Xiaozhen a woman in my life."

He hugged him even more: “I know.Me too.”

The weather ushered in the rainy season after a few months of clear weather.

The Queen Mother had no news since the time of the quarrel that day, and it was quiet after hearing that she had returned to the palace.

Although Xiao Zhen let Xia Xia give the emperor a list of compensation, but the happy did not go to the palace, in the eyes of the happy lady that is the emperor, should be far away, should be respected, but also should hold, so she did not want to take charge of this matter.

Xiao really didn't say anything.

But in the next few days, the emperor learned that his mother had fallen in the palace of the Prime Minister, or gave some rewards.

The rainy season is the most sticky, the home inside and outside are very wet, so in the rainy season, all the rooms are ordered with avelvet stove, driving away the wet and bugs.

Inside the house, Xiao Zhen looked at the book, happy to count the accounts, Liu's weaving line clothes, and Fang Xianger kept the ledger.

For a while, Xiao Zhen put down the book, interesting to look at the appearance of the abacus, happy to do so many years of business, that hands to dial the calculation fast, Xiao Zhen sometimes can not see clearly, and Xiang Er under the leadership of the happy is also to do the book very well.

"It's so old, I can't see it."Willow knitted a sweater while looking at the pattern, muttering.

Xiao Zhen listened: "Sin-a-side, your eyes are not good recently, so don't weave such eye-catching clothes anymore, Yo's children, she will be sad."

"She has been a child, where will she take the child?"The loss of Yu's daughter is there, but Yu's mother's eyes are better than mine, and this line of clothes can't be woven."

"Then go and buy, it will take at least a month for you to wear a line of clothes."

"Where we buy our own line is good, this is the upper line of the tribute of the Qiang people, I heard that the hair is used with a jade knife, the emperor also gave us so much."Liu pointed to the weaving method painted in the koi: "You say that this Qiang people, but it is really clever, if this butterfly is woven, it must be very good."

"The clothes that my sister-in-law used to knit for the children also looked good."Xiao Zhen said that the Qiang people are the people who feed the sheep on the other side of the western region, this line of brown is a big man who came from them decades ago, and was liked by women when they came in, unlike the cutting and looms of the Central Plains, but with two sticks, they could knit a good-looking and warm clothes, which was very convenient.

"After Hua, Yuan, Qiu's children are born, as long as I can move, I will weave them."Speaking of which, Liu’s face is satisfied.

Xiao Zhen sighed in her heart, the sister-in-law is all right, that is, love to worry, love to worry, the children are big, she also treats them as five or six years old, even to her are not reassured.But the sister-in-law is really good to them, in the face of this sister-in-law who is thinking of them, Xiao really can respect and respect.

"Speaking of children, sister-in-law, Hua Er's marriage should also have fallen, Yo's children are nearly three years old, Hua Er has not yet married."Happy to say at the end of the calculation.

Speaking of his own son, Liu's face is sad, this child is all right, just do not want to marry a wife, said that women are too difficult to engage.

"The marriage is destined, and when the other half of Huaer appears, you can't stop it even if you want to stop it."Xiao Zhen said that his nephew Hanhua was both clever and well-behaved from a young age, but he did not like to talk to women from where he began, and he had to take three steps to talk to his aunt, and she remembered that when she was a child, she did not like this.

"No, when he comes back in the evening, I'll go to Cui Cui and him again."Liu said.

"My sister-in-law, the last time Hua was rushed by you, she didn't come back for several days."Fang Xiang Er grinned, "You still don't hurry."

My sister-in-law started to worry again.

Just as a few people were talking about the children, Wu Yi walked in and said, "Sister, the queen took the princess back to the palace."

Xiao really picked up his eyebrows, although there was some surprise in his heart, but only a soft voice, without any statement.

“The expensive princess?”He said, “Didn’t the Queen always be very different from the expensive concubines?”Why did you bring people back to the palace?”

"I know, the mother-in-law is bored, I think there is a noble concubine can toss."Fang Xiang said.

“The truth is the smell.”Wu Yi shook his head and sat down to pour himself a mouthful of tea: "Sister, there is another thing, the three princes of the princess, two of whom have reached the age of the family, how to say?"

"It has nothing to do with us, so leave it to the Emperor."Xiao Zhenton said, "Let's talk about this kind of thing with your brother-in-law later."

“All right.I just think that the three princes are a pity, although they have been instiated by the Lu Guoguo before, but one by one is really learning, if the emperor can open their hearts to accept this brother, it will be of great help to the court."

In the case of the Lu family, the emperor did not mention the nine clans is already generous, so that these brothers can return to the court, Xiao really felt difficult.

As the days passed, Xiao Zhen returned to the day when he went to the tea house to listen to gossip.

Everyone at home is waiting for Han Ziran to return to his hometown.

Runer as the emperor's overall view also began to show a little, from the decision he made this year, Xiao Zhen felt that his cultivation of his son was not in vain.

Whether it is the people or the middle of the dynasty, it is a praise for him, and now the court or the revival, the killing of the former officials, now everyone still has those shadows in their hearts, so it is the emperor's best to be gracious.

The inside and outside can be said to be detailed and detailed.

There is still a year left before the three-year period, Xiao Zhen began to pay attention to the place where everyone wants to retire in the future, this matter she first asked the son, the place she can think of is Xiao Zhen aunt now living in Wu Yue, since the death of the emperor, Xiao family aunt returned to their hometown pond under the village.

For Han Ziran, his real hometown is not impressed, only the unhappy memories of his childhood are in his mind, and the impression is that he is in the village of Tongxiao in Zhuyu, in the operation, he and his wife are the same village people, where he is happy.

The so-called fall leaves to the roots, this matter Xiao Zhen still has to ask the meaning of Han's big brother and sister-in-law, by the way, the meaning of the son, did not expect the Han big brother and in the sister-in-law readily agree, Han's parents are dead, even the second brother of the Han family does not know, for them, the hometown is more sad.

At this time, the sister-in-law Liu's family had some regrets about marrying Yuan Er into the palace, they all left, leaving a little person who was far away, and then thought that Yoer and Hua were also there, which was much more reassuring in his heart.

Far away this two years grew a lot, some baby fat face also gradually grew, become the appearance of melon seeds, the appearance of the heart is a lookable, the more beautiful, this temperament is more and more quiet, to treat people are quite gentle.

The two mother-in-laws in the palace have always felt that the future Queen Mother's temperament is too gentle, and I am afraid that I will suffer in the future, but there is no way to wring it.

Xiao Zhen is not worried, each person has the blessing of each person, and the creation of the future depends on her own.She occasionally worried a little, that is, the emperor's mind to the distant children, these more than two years, whether it is the Queen Mother or the emperor once did not preach to the palace to play, although the marriage contract needs to avoid humility, but really have the heart, how can it not be announced once?

Seeing that the three-year period was approaching, Xiao Zhen called his second daughter to ask her if she meant to enter the palace.

Lu Xinyuan said instead: "Mother, the daughter has been studying for so long, the two mother-in-law and the daughter's ability, if not into the palace is not a waste."

Xiao Zhen: “...”
