Chapter 69: Marriage
Sun entered the warm pavilion and said, "You are strange to be warm here. ”
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Since the queen mother likes it, let Ruan An transform it in Kunning Palace for the queen mother, it's okay." ”
It's also very simple to say.
Such a transformation will not touch the main structure of Kunning Palace. In fact, it is just doing some tricks in the decoration.
Sun smiled slightly and said, "I have suffered your filial piety." Then Sun waved his hand and said, "Come, drink this bowl of medicine honestly." ”
But in a small white porcelain bowl, a bowl of Chinese medicine was brought out.
When Zhu Qizhen saw it, he immediately felt a bitterness spreading from the depths of his throat. He didn't notice, his face wrinkled, and said, "Queen Mother, my body and bones have long been healed, don't believe you." ”
Zhu Qizhen also bent his arms, as if he wanted Sun to see his muscles.
It's just that he wears thick clothes in winter, even if it's because of the warm pavilion, Zhu Qizhen has taken off one layer, but his body is still wrapped in several layers, and he can't see his muscle curves at all.
Sun smiled: "Come on, drink it for another day, you don't have to drink it, good." ”
Zhu Qizhen knew that he couldn't talk about the Sun family. I could only take the bowl and pinch my nose and drink it all.
It's just that although Zhu Qizhen's mind is an adult, his body is not. After drinking this one, I only felt that the indescribable taste was sour, bitter, and astringent. It exploded in the throat at once.
Zhu Qizhen's tears burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't control it at all.
Sun immediately brought a bowl of honey water. Zhu Qizhen took it and drank it all again. With this bowl of honey as a base, Zhu Qizhen felt a lot better.
The tears slowly stopped, and the wrinkled little face stretched out little by little.
Sun and Zhu Qizhen gossiped a few words, and suddenly said: "I have something to say to Your Majesty, you all go down." ”
"Yes." The palace maid below immediately agreed to come down and slowly retreated.
Zhu Qizhen immediately had a bad premonition and asked, "Queen Mother, do you have anything to say?" ”
Sun looked at Zhu Qizhen, stepped forward to tidy up Zhu Qizhen's clothes, and said, "My son has grown up, it's time to find you a daughter-in-law." ”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "I'm only ten years old, where is my age." Zhu Qizhen immediately had a bad premonition and said, "What does the queen mother mean?" ”
Sun said: "There is a daughter in the Chengguo family, who is just right for your age. As long as you marry the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion, Cining Palace will not dare to do anything with you? ”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he couldn't help but murmur secretly in his heart: "Mother, mother, I know that you are good to me, but can you not help." ”
Zhu Qizhen understands that his future queen must be a person he has not seen, and it is impossible to have feelings before getting married.
But he still didn't agree with Sun's arrangement.
Not really, Sun's arrangement is not good.
The Chengguo Mansion can also be regarded as a member of the top Ming Dynasty, and it can't be better. But this is contrary to the Ming family law.
Zhu Yuanzhang has already set the rules. The royal family married a small family. I won't marry these big families. 、
Zhu Qizhen said: "Queen Mother, this is not easy to do, you also know my family's family law?" ”
Sun said, "So what? At this time, it is an extraordinary move, if it weren't for the strength of the mother's family in Cining Palace, would my son be subject to her? In the future, when you become in power, you can just change it back. ”
Zhu Qizhen shook his head secretly, is the prestige of the Empress Dowager just that his mother's family is from the heroes of Jingjing? It couldn't be more wrong.
Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to say for a while, so that Sun could understand that she was doing her a disservice. It doesn't hurt Sun's heart. said: "Queen Mother, you can rest assured that the Empress Dowager is very good to me." Now in the palace, we are weak, and it is better to move than to be still. It's good if you can't move, when Jian Gong went, he said, let the child do nothing, just wait. ”
"That's what Gong Jian said." Sun said.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Exactly. So the queen mother, it's best not to anger the mother in the future. ”
Sun said: "That's fine, but I'm afraid she will hold a grudge." ”
The abolition of the latter was a dead knot in the hearts of both parties. Sun seems to have been reckless, but in fact, it is the empress dowager who is under so much pressure in her heart that she almost collapses.
Zhu Qizhen appeased for a while before calming the Sun family and asking her not to mention this matter again.
After Zhu Qizhen sent the Sun family away, he suddenly thought in his heart: "No, how did the queen mother connect with the Chengguo Mansion." ”
However, Zhu Qizhen underestimated the Sun family. But he didn't dare to underestimate the Empress Dowager.
The Imperial Palace is the basic plate of the Empress Dowager.
If there is any trouble, the Empress Dowager will know before him. Daming Palace is strictly forbidden, and it is not easy to pass on news inside and outside, unless there are capable eunuchs.
Zhu Qizhen immediately thought of one person, and that was Wang Zhen.
There seems to be communication between Wang Zhen and the Chengguo Mansion, and the news is still reported by Jin Ying.
However, Wang Zhen and Jin Ying made small reports to each other.
Zhu Qizhen has long been accustomed to it.
There are some things that you just need to know, and you don't have to chase them.
Thinking about it at this moment, he immediately locked Wang Zhen and immediately asked Wang Zhen to come over.
Zhu Qizhen stood with his hands in his hands, and as soon as Wang Zhen came in, Zhu Qizhen immediately asked: "The queen mother just said that she wanted to take the daughter of the Duke of Chengguo, did you do this thing?" ”
When Wang Zhen heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid will never dare to do such a thing beyond Your Majesty?" ”
"Oh." Zhu Qizhen turned around, looked at Wang Zhen and said, "So how did the queen mother contact the Chengguo Mansion?" ”
Wang Zhen said: "The slave maid doesn't know, maybe when the wives of each family entered the palace, the queen mother knew that there were daughters in the Chengguo family. ”
Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "Really? ”
The wives of each family, it is not that Zhu Qizhen underestimates the wives of each family, and other marriages are just discussed by them. It's about the queen's choice, and they really have the power to decide.
Who would dare?
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to pursue Wang Zhen more. After all, Wang Zhen is still his right-hand man. Command the eunuchs in the palace on his behalf. Jin Ying seems to be reliable, but in Zhu Qizhen's heart, he is still not as good as Wang Zhen.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Daban, you have been by my side since you were a child, and I also want to be good with you, some things can be done, some things can't be done, you think about it well, today's things will pass." Let's do it for ourselves from now on. ”
When Wang Zhen heard this, his heart was bitter. said: "Thank you for your magnanimity, but this matter is really not the work of slaves. ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "That's the person in the palace who has the Chengguo Mansion, do you know what to do?" ”
When Wang Zhen heard this, his heart sank, and he said, "The slave understands. ”
In fact, several Guogong mansions have eyeliner in the palace, which is also normal. These eyeliners are more of a friendship with the public of various countries, and they just leak a little news for the government of the country.
Sometimes, though, it's time to clean up. Not much. 、
Wang Zhen cleaned up the eyeliner in the palace, but there was no need to say much.
It's just that this one thing is not what Zhang Xuan said, and it ends here.
After the imperial physician confirmed that the emperor was well, Zhu Qizhen immediately went to Cining Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, and the Empress Dowager immediately brought up the matter again.
"I heard that your mother fell in love with the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion for you?" The Empress Dowager seemed to have no intention, but she asked intentionally.
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "My grandson has refused, this is not in line with the ancestral family law." ”
The Empress Dowager said: "It's just not in line with the ancestral family law, so in this way, your marriage should also be prepared." ”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He overlooked one point.
It is the emperor's wedding, and many times it is the prelude to the emperor's personal government.
The Sun family wants Zhu Qizhen to get married, not necessarily just because of the Chengguo Mansion. The big wedding itself has a big political element.
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "My grandson is still young, I don't need to rush this matter, and it's not too late to talk about it when my grandson is eighteen years old." ”
Zhu Qizhen finally understood one thing, the honeymoon period between him and the Empress Dowager was over. In the future, I may not be able to speak as well as I used to.
Perhaps, this is the normal state of two political creatures.
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows relaxed a little, and said: "Where can it be delayed so far, when you are fifteen, I will naturally prepare for your marriage." You don't have to rush. ”
