All the way, Zhou Li tried his best to coax Mingzhu and coax her to be happy.

Zhou Li escorted them to safety, crossed the area where there was a possibility of thieves, and he was going back.

"Mingzhu, I'm leaving." Zhou Li looked at Mingzhu with a thick reluctance in her eyes, and her fingers gently scraped her delicate and ruddy face, feeling the temperature on her face, warming her heart.

"Well, I'll write to you." Mingzhu raised her head to look at him, and quickly lowered her head, with some struggle and hesitation in her eyes.

"Well, I ...... Let's go. Zhou Li wanted to speak and stopped, and walked away step by step.

The Queen Mother looked at Mingzhu, "Won't you tell him something?" She had basically acquiesced to the marriage.

"Is it right now?" Mingzhu is not an impulsive person, more rational and emotional.

"It may be dangerous for him to go this time, your grandfather will not do a business without capital, do you want to send him off." The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Mingzhu sighed and got out of the carriage, "Blue, give this to him." Mingzhu took out a simple purse from her sleeve, and there seemed to be something in it.

Bilan nodded and chased after him, and handed the things to Brother Qi, meaning to let Brother Qi send them, so that the transfer of one hand would not affect Mingzhu's reputation.

Brother Qi opened his purse and took a look, pouting and not being very happy, but still rode a horse to chase after him, "Brother Li, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

Zhou Li glanced at him suspiciously, "You chased me just to greet me?" Looking up and down at Brother Qi, there was something wrong.

Brother Qi hesitated for a moment and threw him a purse, "Let's go, let's go, remember to come back with all the mustaches and tails." "If you're missing an arm or a leg, I'm sure I'll sweep you out of the house.

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment and smiled when he saw the embroidery of the purse in his hand, and happily opened it to see that there was a roll of green silk inside, the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger, with a little light in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly.

Brother Qi glared at him angrily, "What are you yelling at." Like a fool, get out of here! He stretched out his foot and kicked him hard.

"I'm gone, waiting for me to come back."

"Alright, alright, let's go. What are you hypocritical about, if you die, you must fill your hole, don't worry about this. "Brother Qi doesn't forget to add fuel to his life, and if Brother doesn't go well, he can't make you happy.

Zhou Li almost fell off the horse in anger, and glared at Brother Qi with hatred. He galloped away on his horse and never looked back.

The Queen Mother was very curious, "What did you give him, how happy he was?" ”

Mingzhu blushed slightly, "Purse." ”

"Huh?" The Queen Mother tilted her head sideways with a skeptical expression.

"Hair."

"Oh! I said, why is he happy like that? The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled, like an old naughty boy.

Mingzhu blushed and was embarrassed, and quickly jumped out of the car and rode a horse to play.

The Queen Mother said proudly, "It seems that I should ask the emperor for his will soon." ”

She clapped her hands happily with a look of relief.

Zhou Li walked back to the barracks, while Mingzhu and the others walked leisurely on the road. Where they go depends on the mood of the Queen Mother.

Different places can always see different scenery and special cultural landscapes, which make several children breathtaking.

Mingzhu and the Queen Mother and their entourage stopped and stopped, pretending to be businessmen looking for relatives and doing business, and saw a lot of scenery along the way, and every month there would be letters sent back to the capital.

At first, he just wrote about some miscellaneous things such as scenery and cultural anecdotes, and the emperor was very happy to read it, and the mother was happy to be a son, and she felt that she had made a good decision.

But slowly, they went to more places, saw more injustices, and the things written in the letters of the Queen Mother and Mingzhu gradually became different. There are a lot of evaluations of local officials, as well as descriptions of poor people, and so on.

These made the emperor attach great importance to them, and he believed that his mother, Mingzhu and Brother Yi would not lie to him, which also gave him an extra pair of eyes to understand the real situation outside. Instead of letting the people below fool themselves, the exchange of letters between the emperor and the Empress Dowager Mingzhu and others became more and more frequent, and the emperor made some requests in the letter, asking them to ask the people more, how is the local magistrate's reputation, and what good things have been praised by the people? There are also more requests such as these.

It was three years for the group to leave. In the past three years, they have traveled almost a lot, went to Jiangnan, and deeply admired the cultural atmosphere there, Brother Yi and the students in Jiangnan compared poems to pairs, etc., and lost quite miserably, the emperor laughed when he saw the letter.

Of course, it also let the emperor know about the extravagant chaos in Jiangnan, as well as some things that Yan Zheng couldn't see people, and they were truthfully reported to the emperor.

The emperor's favorite letter from Mingzhu among everyone's letters was only sent to the Shangguan family at first, and only one was sent to the emperor during the New Year's holidays, but Mingzhu had his own views and ideas on many injustices and some government affairs.

Especially after a long insight and listening to the voices of the people, many things are more objective and targeted, and the emperor inadvertently found that his uncle's upbringing of Mingzhu is not inferior to that of men, and even more far-sighted than men.

Therefore, he took the initiative to write a letter to Mingzhu to ask, and every time he replied to the letter, the emperor would ask the Shangguan family to bring him the letter that Mingzhu gave them, and he became more and more satisfied with Mingzhu's impression.

Three years later, they returned to the capital at the beginning of spring, and they did not return to the palace for three years, and a lot happened in the capital.

Zhou Li went to live in the northwest for three years, and in these three years, he went to many places, and got the assessment letters of the generals stationed at all levels in the northwest and went back to the old man to check them. At the same time, he also used his own efforts to get a lot of small military achievements, adding a resume to himself.

King Rong was also extremely proud and pleased with this son, and slowly handed over some of his connections to Zhou Li.

And Shuyi had a bad time in the palace at the beginning, and the Seventh Prince resented Shuyi because of her refusal to help her, and wanted to torture this sister and teach her a lesson, so that she could know who was in charge.

But he didn't want to let the queen's opponent know in a crisis, so he took advantage of the opportunity, and the director Zhan Shuyi broke her arm in another winter, and it took half a year to get better.

This person is the queen's deliberately sad concubine in her early years, because the queen killed her child with a knife, and she was infertile for life and lost the emperor's favor.

Shuyi became a victim and almost killed her, so she couldn't help but fall on her arm, rolled down the steps, knocked her head and was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up.

The emperor was furious and dealt with Jing Concubine after a thorough investigation, and also found out that the Seven Princes contributed to it, which made the emperor very disappointed and angry, and then he didn't expect that it was his own brother who wanted to kill his sister, and the emperor quietly disposed of a batch of various nails in the palace through Jing Concubine's matter, but he sent a grandmother to Shuyi, which was regarded as a kind of protection, and Shuyi recovered some favor through this incident.

The Seventh Prince leaned up again to ask for warmth, the emperor smiled and said nothing, Shuyi accepted the gift but refused to say a word again. After experiencing the queen's ruthlessness, her brother's ruthlessness and the threat of death, Shuyi's last luck and hope were shattered, and after the injury, she realized that her mentality became more and more gentle and peaceful, and she looked at the queen and her brother as if they were strangers, polite and alienated.
