Li Deshun is more reliable than a bandit who will only take advantage of the opportunity. He carefully told him the taboos in the palace and the preferences of the three people in the palace. Xiangtian entered the palace together.

Zhuque Street runs through the north and south of Qingyang City, and when they reached the end of Zhuque Street, the carriage stopped at the main gate of the imperial city. After the gate guards checked routinely, the two changed sedan chairs and continued walking along the inner city road connected to Zhuque Street.

The palaces and pavilions in the imperial city are arranged symmetrically from left to right, and the prince's residence in the Guanshu Temple is distributed among them. The highest temple in the middle is the Zijin Temple, where the emperor goes to court every day.

Go straight on the sedan chair, turn right and go straight again, pass through the imperial city, and you will arrive at the boundary of Miyagi.

Miyagi is the residence of the emperor's empress dowager and her concubines. The empress dowager's residence is in Changyang Palace. On the east side of Miyagi, Fu Tian finally arrived at Changyang Palace after sitting in a sedan chair for half an hour.

The eunuch who carried the sedan chair carefully put down the sedan chair, and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, we're here."

Fu Tian opened the sedan chair curtain and came out, looking at the majestic palace in front of him, feeling a little unreal for a moment.

Chu Xiangtian's voice called him back, "Go in."

Fu Tian came back to his senses, smiled at him, and walked in side by side with him.

Wang Momo, who was serving the Empress Dowager, came out to meet them and led the way, "The Empress Dowager has been talking about it this morning, and she is now in the Songhe Palace."

Chu Xiangtian said: "Is the emperor's brother and sister-in-law not here?"

Wang Momo said: "My lord, don't worry, there is only the Queen Mother alone."

Before entering the palace, he was worried that the young master would be too nervous to see the three of them together, so he specifically explained that today he was only here to greet the queen mother.

Fu Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, if all three of them were there at once, he would be really nervous.

While speaking, he had already arrived at Songhe Hall.

There was already a court lady standing in front of the gate looking around, seeing them arriving, she blessed herself and went in first to communicate.

Fu Tian took a deep breath, straightened his back and walked in.

The earth dragon is burning in the hall.As soon as you enter the door, you can feel a warm warmth.The Empress Dowager sat at the head, wearing a maroon robe, she could not tell her real age just by looking at her face, only the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed a trace of age.

Handing over the thick fox fur to the maid, Fu Tian bowed in a polite manner, "I have seen the Queen Mother."

Chu Xiangtian took a step behind, and bent down honestly, "I've seen my mother."

The queen mother raised her hand and smiled kindly, "Sit down and talk."

The two sat down at the lower seats. Fu Tian sat upright, with a straight back and a solemn expression, looking obediently waiting for questions. pleasing to the eye.

The first impression was good, the Queen Mother's expression became softer, and she looked at Fu Tian with gentle eyes.

The young man who was sitting looked young, and his facial features were very delicate, especially his eyes, which were dark and clear, and his eyes were very clear, which just neutralized the overly gorgeous facial features. The nature of being a demon.

"Is it called You Ling? How old is this year?" the queen mother asked.

Fu Tian stood up and cupped his hands to answer. He was a little nervous, but his face was neither humble nor overbearing. Even the speed of his reply was not too fast, "Back to the Queen Mother, I am seventeen this year."

He's only seventeen...that's almost ten years younger than her son. Before she saw people, she thought she was a long-sleeved dancer who would figure out people's hearts. After all, her son knew that ordinary people couldn't easily tie him up.

But now that she saw someone, the Queen Mother realized that it was not necessarily that he had tied her son up with some means, but that her son didn't know what tricks to coax him into getting along with him.

The queen mother glanced at Chu Xiangtian lightly, and waved her hand to tell Fu Tian not to be too polite, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to stick to etiquette."

Fu Tian sat back as he said, and there was no mistake in his words and deeds. He was young and it was his first time entering the palace. It was already good to be able to do this.

The Empress Dowager was more satisfied in her heart, and the aura she had deliberately put on before dissipated, and her expression became more gentle, "The family is in business? But who else is there?"

Fu Tian: "The family is in the rice grain business, and there are mother and sister."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. Chu Xiangtian hid it too well before today, so she didn't know the situation of Fu Tian's family before today, "You are the only son in the family?"

Fu Tian didn't know why, so he nodded in confusion, "Yes."

The queen mother pinched her brows with a headache. There was only one son in the family. If he married a man, it would be tantamount to forcing the family to end their children and grandchildren. Now she even wondered if Chu Xiangtian used tricks to force the Fu family to agree. This marriage.

Glancing at her son, the queen mother asked softly: "Your mother... also agreed to the marriage?" She paused and then said hesitantly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, no matter what Feng Zhang said or did, if you If your parents don't want this marriage, you don't have to force it."

"Mother's mother!" Chu Xiangtian's expression changed, he never thought that his mother's mother would tear him down at this time.

The queen mother raised her hand to interrupt him, "Let Youling finish first."

Fu Tian looked at Chu Xiangtian's furrowed brows, then at the empress dowager's kind face, and finally understood the meaning of what the empress dowager said earlier - she thought that their marriage was forced by Chu Xiangtian.

Fu Huang couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He looked at Chu Xiangtian's tense face from the side, couldn't help but secretly smiled, raised his sleeves to hide the smile, and said seriously: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is true that the mother is married. Agreed, it's not because of the prince's persecution, it's just because of me...I have a pleasing relationship with him..."

When he talked about the love between the two, his cheeks were slightly red, but he still held back his embarrassment and continued: "My mother doesn't want to embarrass me, and she never obstructed it."

So the marriage was what he wanted, not someone forcing him.

His attitude of eagerness to maintain made the queen mother slightly startled, and after recovering, she waved to him.

Fu Tian stepped forward, the queen mother took his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then sighed: "Your mother... is very good, and you are a good child too."

She looked at Chu Xiangtian with a helpless smile, "When you were born, I went to Da Ci'an Temple to pray for blessings, and the host said that you are a blessed person. There are ups and downs but no major disasters, and you have a good destiny for a smooth life. I didn't expect it. He hit the spot.

If she were to put herself in the shoes of a man, she would not agree so easily to let her only son marry a man.

Chu Xiangtian's tense expression slowed down, and he said with a smile: "I thought the queen mother would beat the mandarin ducks with a stick."

The queen mother pulled Fu Tian to sit beside her, and glanced at him again after hearing the words, she was even more dissatisfied with this son, "It's hard to find someone who doesn't like you, can I really dismantle it for you?"

Chu Xiangtian frowned, and held back when he wanted to say something, but when Fu Tian heard it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The queen mother said that she would not care about him anymore, and turned her head to talk to Fu Tian in a soft voice. Fu Tian is really a very well-behaved and sensible child, with decent words and deeds, and knows everything that should be understood, but his mind is not deep, on the contrary, he is better than many people. Even purer.

The Empress Dowager asked some questions, and he answered them in full, neither concealing nor subtly taking credit for himself.On the contrary, the queen mother raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard that he was taking care of his family's business while taking care of his studies. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 16.

"Have you ever thought about becoming an official in the court?" He is young and has a good mind and knowledge. He is indeed a good seed worth cultivating. If he wants to, the Queen Mother doesn't mind giving him a push.

Unexpectedly, Fu Tian shook his head when he heard the words, and said with some embarrassment: "I originally took the imperial examination just to win my mother's breath, and never thought of becoming an official in the court. Besides, I have to take care of the family's business."

The queen mother patted his hand, half relieved and half envious, and said: "Your mother taught you very well." Without arrogance or rashness, he knows what he wants, and knows to shoulder the responsibilities on his shoulders. Such a person, Will not be easily lost eyes.

She sighed, "It's not like Fengzhang...he was not obedient since he was a child, and he didn't know who he followed."

The more Chu Xiangtian listened to him, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that if he let them continue talking, he would be demoted to nothing.

"Queen, do you think it's time for lunch?" Chu Xiangtian interrupted them in time by finding a reason.

He originally wanted to leave with an excuse, but he didn't want the queen mother to look at Fu Tian, ​​the more she looked at her, the more she was satisfied. Except for being a man, everything was in her eyes. As soon as Chu Xiangtian reminded him, he would drag Fu Tian to accompany her for dinner. "What do you like to eat? Tell Wang Momo, she will let the imperial dining room do it."

"Why don't you stay in the palace for a few days and chat with me. The emperor is busy with government affairs all day long, and Feng Zhang thinks I'm nagging, so he doesn't want to stay in the palace. It's rare that someone can talk to me."

The Empress Dowager smiled, with a loving face, "Let your mother and sister come into the palace some other day, and they will be in-laws in the future, so it's time to see each other..."

Chu Xiangtian: "..."

Fu Tian supported the queen mother, the two asked and answered, and walked slowly to the dining room. Chu Xiangtian yelled twice, but no one paid attention to him, and watched the two leave first.

Wang Momo followed happily, and said to him, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother so happy for a long time. It seems that she really likes Lord Hou."

The corner of Chu Xiangtian's mouth twitched, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment, seeing the posture of the queen mother, the number of times the young master will enter the palace will be inevitable.
