The doors and windows of Qingning Palace are double-crossed and four-fold rhombic flower style. The pen is made www.biquge.info by two wooden mullions, and at the intersection of petals attached, and become a radial rhombic pattern.

Looking out from the inside, the rhombus seemed to be hanging in the air, and as the night gradually came, it became clearer and clearer. Zhu Youzhu is very familiar with this Qingning Palace, and every time he comes, he always feels intimate.

But today, he felt weird.

Looking back at the delicate dishes on the table, all of them were his favorite foods, but Zhu Youzhu had no appetite at all. Eating with him, in addition to the Queen Mother, there is also his queen, Zhang Lezhi.

And Zheng Jinlian stood beside him, constantly spreading vegetables for them.

"Ji'er, why don't you eat it? Isn't it to taste? "The Empress Dowager speaks easily and is always correct and round. But every time he spoke to Zhu Youji, the doting tone always overshadowed all the majesty.

From childhood to adulthood, in Zhu Youji's impression, the empress dowager has her own means for both the emperor and the courtiers. But for him alone, she has always been sincere, and she can even be said to be obedient.

If the two disagree, the Empress Dowager will also let him.

But this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Zhu Youzhu glanced at the queen, and his first reaction was to leave under the pretext, "The queen mother, my grandson is full." It's cold at night, and Sun Er and Lezhi have to go back to see the photos. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, when the concubine came over, Hou Zhao was asleep, presumably because he was a little sleepy in the spring, and he couldn't wake up for a while."

Zhu Youzhu looked at the queen in shock, not expecting her to send him like this at all. She lowered her head slightly, and the light left a shadow on her sideburns, which disturbed the string called "guilt" in Zhu Youji's heart and tensed instantly.

The Empress Dowager hummed with satisfaction, and said with the situation: "Zhang'er, you and the queen can be taken care of, and it can be regarded as God's mercy." Now that Houzhao is about to enter the East Palace, the queen's mother is expensive with her son, so she should have no worries. ”

Zhu Youzhi stretched out his hand to cover the back of the queen's hand, and said with a light smile: "The Empress Dowager, after so many years, you know best, Lezhi never needs any mother and son to be expensive, as long as I am still in power for a day, she will not have worries."

The queen looked up slowly, tears in her eyes.

"Zhang'er," the Empress Dowager did not show any displeasure because of Zhu Youji's rebellion, but on the contrary, she persuaded earnestly: "You also said it, so many years." For so many years, the mourning family has always relied on you, even if you are full of expectations, have you ever been persecuted against your will? Now that the queen has given birth to a dragon son, everyone is happy, and what Zhang'er said at the beginning, the queen should naturally understand. ”

What did Zhu Youzhu say......

He himself remembers.

It was a quiet rainy night, the wind was mummy, the rain was melting, and the East Palace, which should have been calm and peaceful, was shrouded in shadows.

The imperial doctor confirmed that the crown princess's abdominal injury had healed, but it was difficult to give birth from now on.

This news was undoubtedly like a thunderbolt, and Zhu Youji, who was present, and the queen mother at that time were speechless.

Before the young Zhu Youzhu could react, the Queen Mother had already begun to consider accepting the crown princess. Zhu Youzhi was excited, hurriedly knelt down and begged, he said:

"Grandmother, don't treat your granddaughter-in-law badly! The imperial doctor only said that it was difficult, but did not say that it was completely hopeless. The grandson can't be so ungrateful, fly alone when disaster comes! ”

"Hey, you child, you have been a soft-hearted ...... since you were a child" The Queen Mother looked at him, and then looked back at Zheng Jinlian, who was staring at him distressedly, "However, the royal family can't be without a queen, and the mourning family can rest on the crown princess, but we have to find a few more side concubines for you, so that you can rest assured." ”

Zhu Youzhi was about to answer, when Zhang Lezhi's heart-rending cry suddenly came from the bedroom! After Zhang Lezhi married him, firstly, the two were still young, and secondly, he was indifferent to the affairs of men and women, and his heart was full of the imperial court, so he had not yet had sex together. But at this moment, the cry sounded to him, as if the rain from the water tank in the courtyard had been poured on him, penetrating his heart.

He cannot be an unrighteous man.

"Grandmother, forgive your grandson for not being able to rely on you. We are all still young, and the future is not yet known, grandchildren, we can't do such a thing. ”

The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for decades, how could she pity an outsider who has just married into the heavenly family, and naturally she will not agree.

Zhu Youzhu had no choice but to retreat and advance, "Grandmother, your grandson knows your concerns, and your grandson doesn't dare to be a descendant of the Zhu family." Shall we ask my grandmother to give us five years to discuss this matter at that time? ”

………………

This was originally an excuse that Zhu Youzhu used to prevaricate her, but now that five years have passed, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to bring up the old matter again.

"The Empress Dowager chose a concubine for her grandson, but she was worried about Lezhi's body. Now that Lezhi is in peace, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore, right? ”

"This is exactly what the mourning family wants to say, since the joy is already safe, there is nothing you two can't let go. The mourning family is old, and I don't know when I will die ......"

As soon as the Empress Dowager said this, several juniors panicked and said: "The Empress Dowager is longevity and Tianqi, don't say such unlucky words!"

"What the mourning family said is the truth," the empress dowager has been eating calmly, and at the moment she put down her chopsticks, "Recently, the mourning family has felt more and more that many things are more than enough but not enough. Zhang'er, you have been with the mourning family since you were a child, and the mourning family has never asked you anything, because the mourning family understands that you are a good child, you have your own way of behaving in the world, and you can also control the government very well. Last month, Mr. Zhou, who had served the mourning family all his life, also left, and the mourning family was thinking, one day, maybe it would be the turn of the mourning family...... The mourning family has ups and downs in this life, and everything must be managed and competed for, in order to leave no regrets. Now the mourning family has another wish, because of the tolerance of the child, it has not yet been realized......"

When she said this, she inadvertently looked at Zheng Jinlian, and finally simply took Zheng Jinlian's hand, the intention couldn't be more obvious. Zhu Youzhu sighed secretly, he really couldn't bear it in his heart, and his momentum weakened suddenly, "Grandmother, if you say such a thing, you are really going to break it." Although Jin Lian is a small palace person, but she has been with our ancestors and grandchildren for more than ten years, there is no credit and hard work, and Ji'er has regarded her as a sister since she was a child, so she will naturally not treat her badly. When he is busy with the affairs of the crown prince, he will choose an auspicious day to choose a good family for Jin Lian and do the right ......"

"Then wait until the crown prince is established," the empress dowager snatched the words, "When the time comes, the golden lotus will be the concubine, and the last mortal heart of the mourning family will be gone." ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to succeed in convincing Zhu Youji, Zheng Jinlian, who had been beside her with a complicated expression, suddenly knelt down, "The Empress Dowager is in love." Long live the Lord, the queen's mother, the slave and maid dare not take credit, let alone climb the heavens, Long live the Lord is right, the slave and maid are just a little palace man......"
