The New Year of the ninth year of Yongle seems to have passed until March, because the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Zhanji, was canonized as the emperor's grandson in early March, and the palace swept away the atmosphere of fear and tension brought about by the Lu case.

Gao Chi finally walked out of the East Palace and followed the grandson to meet the ministers, but the discerning person could see that the more the emperor loved the grandson, the more he refused to give the prince a good face, but he was so tired that the grandson made peace with him and told the emperor to dissipate his anger.

But one day, the emperor came and asked to bring Sister Yu beside Zhang Zhaohua over, Zhang Zhaohua followed, but was stopped at the door, and only asked Sister Yu to go in alone.

Zhang Zhaohua said: "I should have taken my sister to ask the emperor for peace, but there are many things in this palace, so I don't dare, why does the emperor suddenly want to see her?"

Ma Yun said respectfully and kindly: "The little county lord of Princess Yongping's family, taking the little emperor of the East Palace to play in Jinchi, the emperor has long known, and when he asked, the princess was confused, only saying that Sister Yuan is not very sensible, only knows frolic, does not know the danger, but it is absolutely impossible to say bad intentions." In this way, the emperor didn't ask, but only said that he brought the sister who saved the emperor's grandson to take a look, and when he saw it, he said that he was a good child. ”

"The emperor also knows that the little emperor and grandson have been wronged," Ma Yun said: "It's just that the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it's difficult for the family to do it, isn't it?" The emperor has already ordered, the county lord will not go to the Chunhe Palace, and if he doesn't go in the future, the mother can rest assured." ”

Zhang Zhaohua nodded silently, looked down at Sister Yu'er, and clearly saw her own expression from her ignorant and concerned eyes, which was also the same confusion and helplessness. There were countless ways she could deal with Yongping, but then she wouldn't be able to enter the Kunning Palace, which had now become the place where she felt the most peaceful.

Of course, Ma Yun still has some things to hide, such as when the grandson came back from Beijing, Jin Ying and Wang Jin around him brought a lot of things, all of which were playthings for the little girl. The emperor didn't say anything, didn't ask the grandson, and didn't say if this would work, but looking at today's summons, he didn't like Sister Yu at all, just scrutinized.

Ma Yun himself feels that he is like seeing flowers in the fog again, the grandson is getting older, and the emperor chooses concubines for the kings and princes and county kings every year, and he looks at it very carefully, and it seems that he will soon be so careful in the grandson. It is natural for him to choose a concubine like this, the grandson has grown up on the emperor's knees since he was a child, and the emperor can do whatever he wants to look like. In this regard, I am afraid that the crown prince and the crown princess of my own parents will not be able to be the master.

But Ma Yun felt that the crown princess was probably not convinced, nor was she willing. Otherwise, how could he choose such a clever girl to raise by his side, and promote a pair of childhood sweethearts early? Ma Yun also knows that the grandson likes this jade sister, where can Jin Ying hide something from him, it is said that the grandson eats a good bite, first asked the emperor, asked his parents, and the rest is worried about this sister, he doesn't believe that the grandson is like this, the prince and the princess don't know?

The crown prince and the crown princess said that they raised a daughter, who knows what the future will be, no wonder the emperor is unhappy, but if he drives him out directly, he is afraid that he will hurt the two families again, not to mention that this female doll has also saved the life of the little emperor and grandson.

Ma Yun shook his head in self-understanding, what does this word "love" have to do with him? They have long been rootless people, not only saying that they have no such thing, but that their ties with this world are shallow, and many of them are rootless duckweed. Sometimes I feel that I have something to rely on, but in fact, it is not the final destination at all. All the causes and conditions in this world have their own beginning, their own end, their own causes, and their own effects, but they have nothing to do with them.

In June, Zheng He returned from the West, this is his third mission to the West, this time, he is loaded with gems and spices from all over the world, and even Tianma, Shenlu, but the most amazing thing is that there are two unicorns on the ship.

These two unicorns are said to be tributed by the Banggara Kingdom, and she doesn't know where the Banggara Kingdom is, after all, Zheng He's sea chart is quite important, and he won't show it to her, but the Qilin is placed in the Rare Bird Garden, and the palace people are scrambling to see it, and they all say that they have never seen such a thing, and even the adults in the outer court say that it is a Qilin, so it must be a Qilin.

Zhang Zhaohua also looked at it, and almost choked back internal injuries at a glance. According to the description of ancient books, the unicorn is tall and has two feet, a body like Kang, a tail like a cow, and hooves like a horse, and the whole body is covered with golden lins, and the top of the head is round, with horns and meat, and it is equipped with weapons and does not harm it, so it is benevolent. To be honest, this thing is exactly the same as the appearance of the unicorn recorded in the ancient books, the size is enough, the physical characteristics also match the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and the short horns, and the yellow-brown markings on the body look like wearing gold armor from a distance, and this guy has a very gentle temperament, with hooves and horns but does not hurt people, but it is not a benevolent beast - but she knows that it is not!

This is clearly a tame giraffe!

"Hahahaha-" Zhang Zhaohua really couldn't hold back, and broke out into an earth-shattering laugh, which shocked the palace eunuchs who were feeding the branches next to them were stunned, and the two cute giraffes also stretched their necks to look at her, their innocent eyes widened, ran their ways, and ran away with a whoosh.

"Niangniang, what are you smiling at?" Zheng He's deputy Wang Jinghong didn't know why.

"Regardless of her," Gao Chi said, "I guess I thought of something ridiculous, you tell me about the habits of this unicorn......"

Han Dong came over to help her, and also felt that Zhang Zhaohua was smiling inexplicably, and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, what's so funny about this unicorn, this is a big auspicious rui!"

"Ah, Xiangrui, Xiangrui," Zhang Zhaohua wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter and said, "But don't you think this unicorn looks weird?"

"It's okay," Handong Hanshuang said: "Although it's not the same as what the slave maid thinks, but I heard that the unicorn is harmonious, it doesn't hurt people, it doesn't hurt people, it is spiritual, since the adults outside have watched it for many days, and everyone says that it is a unicorn, that is! It's the same as what is written in the book, who can still pass them?"

At this time, the emperor was also walking over with a group of ministers, the emperor has to come to see the unicorn every day these days, there are those who love to slip around and shoot horses, such as Lord Lu Zhen, who has already talked about the sycophancy of the unicorn all the way to the world, the peaceful and prosperous world, but although the emperor's expression is joyful, it is not particularly happy and excited.

"Oh, is it?" said the Emperor, looking at his ministers.

"That's true," Lu Zhen bowed and said: "The prosperous era will come out of the unicorn, in ancient times, every time the king of benevolence came to the world, there will be a unicorn appeared, in the past, King Wen met the unicorn on the shore of the Wei River, Confucius was born with a unicorn mouth spit jade book, the book wrote 'the son of the water spirit, the king of the declining Zhou and Su', Lu Aigong 14 years of the west hunting Lin, contained in the "Spring and Autumn", today's unicorn is in the world, indicating that the world is peaceful, contributing to the dynasty, this is the country Zuo Yongchang, the society is eternal, the minister is His Majesty congratulations, for the world to congratulate!"

Several ministers behind him looked at each other and congratulated Lu Zhen together, but they were not ashamed in their hearts, because this Lord Lu quoted scriptures, but half of them were things from side books and miscellaneous books, how could Confucius see the unicorn when he was alive?

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen was not finished yet, because he said that he had made another song "Qilin Fu" to dedicate to the emperor.

"Oh," said the Emperor, "you might as well read it to the people." ”

Lu Zhen cleared his throat and said: "The unicorn phoenix eye dragon head, the rhino horn cow hooves, the moose body and the lion's tail, the colorful body, the creation of the sun and the moon, and the blood and qi of nature; The rhythm of the sound is the rule, and the rules are in the step. Choose the soil and practice, politely show people with virtue. When it comes out, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful; the peach garden is quiet, the south palace is empty, the frolicking is like a swimming dragon, the play is dancing like a frightened phoenix, the cultivation is to hold the pivot of the sun and the moon, and the essence of heaven and earth is swallowed by nourishment. Whoa, the sacredness of Si Ling, can people reach it?"
