It was only after seeing Yu Suisui that the Empress Dowager realized that she had not seen Emperor Qianlong for some time.

What's strange is that she didn't remember me even though we haven't seen each other for such a long time.

"I think the emperor is in a good mood recently." It is really much better than before. Although he still has some tantrums from time to time, it is only occasional.

The Empress Dowager: "Is the Emperor still summoning eminent monks from all over the country?" Before, Emperor Qianlong summoned eminent monks from all over the country to the capital, saying that they were praying for the late emperor.

"No." Yu Suisui replied, "The emperor is now busy with state affairs and rarely sees monks." Qianlong summoned two living Buddhas to Beijing, but both died on the way.

This third living Buddha may have already returned to secular life?

Yu Suisui felt that their Living Buddha was incompatible with the capital.

But the biggest possibility is that the world consciousness in this novel has a strong sense of self-awareness.

Qianlong had too many dreams.

The Empress Dowager finally relaxed her brows. She had always felt that she had been in a daze during this period of time. How could she and the Emperor, who had been mother and son for so many years, not see each other for so long?

"That's good. Has the emperor been eating and sleeping well recently?" the Queen Mother asked again.

Yu Suisui replied: "Not bad." Whenever he had time, he would come and snatch her food and occupy her big bed. There shouldn't be any big problem with Qianlong.

Except that he was under the influence of precognitive dreams.

Speaking of this predictive dream, Qianlong had not had such a dream for some time. However, when he dozed off at noon, he dreamed about Nara again.

This time, the empress dowager in the dream was simply Nara’s biological mother, and she considered everything for Nara.

Qianlong was so frightened that he stood up immediately and took Wu Shulai to Changchun Garden to find the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was originally chatting with Yu Suisui about Qianlong's daily affairs, but halfway through the meal, Qianlong arrived.

"The Emperor is here!" The Empress Dowager quickly reached out to help Qianlong, who was paying his respects, up, "Is your lunch ready?" The palace was the same as the garden, with two meals a day. Breakfast and dinner were the most important, but the lunch was up to you.

How to eat and when to eat is all up to you.

The Empress Dowager had been chatting with Yu Suisui and the others for a long time. They had finished their tea and snacks, so lunch was postponed.

Qianlong observed the empress dowager carefully and found that this was different from what he had dreamed of. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, I have used it before."

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Yu Suisui, and then to Madam Niu Hulu.

"My aunt is here." Qianlong said. He knew that the person who had the closest connection with my mother and the people in Nianhulu's family was this aunt. After my grandmother Guo Luomama (my grandmother) grew old, it was my aunt who would come to the palace to pay respects on behalf of my grandmother most of the time.

Madam Niu Hulu smiled and spoke in a friendly tone, "Your Majesty, I came here today to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. How is Your Majesty doing recently?"

Mrs. Nianhulu was naturally happy to see Qianlong at this time, as meeting the emperor was not an easy thing.

Qianlong also smiled and said, "I'm fine. How are my grandmother and uncle?" He was actually very satisfied with Nianhulu's family. There was nothing wrong with them. Knowing that he was not capable, he just accepted a nominal title and lived his life happily.

She did not beg the Queen Mother to promote the men in her family, nor did she ask for her daughter to enter the palace.

Mrs. Niuhulu's face was full of smiles, "Everything is good, everything is good. Not long ago, the old lady was still talking about the emperor, saying that the emperor loved to eat the eight-treasure duck when he was a child, and she said before that she would make it again for the emperor." The old lady is now in her seventies, and she is still in good spirits, but her legs and feet are not as nimble as before.

The last time we made Eight Treasure Duck at home, the old lady also mentioned the emperor. When the emperor was young, during every New Year and other festivals, the late queen would allow her daughter’s family to come to the mansion to see her, in order to ease the family’s homesickness.

At that time, the empress dowager was not like she is now. At that time, she lived in a small courtyard with only three main rooms and two side rooms, and there was not even any east or west wing rooms.

The old lady felt sorry for her for having to go into the palace as a concubine at such a young age, so when she had the chance, she took money and food with her. The Eight Treasure Duck was the old lady's specialty, and she hadn't made it for nearly ten years.

When Qianlong heard the old lady's words, he remembered when he was a child, the first thing he did when he saw his grandmother during the New Year and other festivals was to give her a red envelope. It was not much money, but it was a happy thing. The second thing he did was to make eight-treasure duck for him and his mother.

But such times were very rare. Although his mother allowed it, he often had to stay in the study to study by his father. Later, after he entered the palace to study, they could only see each other during the Chinese New Year every year.

"It's okay as long as she is a good person. I will go to see the old lady some other day." Qianlong thought of his grandmother's age. She was over 60 years old now, so he had to go and see her.

Mrs. Niuhulu was so overjoyed that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Qianlong.

The empress dowager hurriedly asked someone to help him up. She was also happy that Qianlong was so close to the Niuhulu family, so she did not interrupt their conversation.
