Chapter Ninety-Three: The Little Couple

Zhu Qizhen was busy in the Qianqing Palace until the sky was dark and the lights were bright.

He suddenly saw a note, but it was played by Wangyi in Jiaozhou, Shandong, but it was to open the Jiaodong Canal to facilitate shipping.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that everyone knows my thoughts." ”

Because Jiaozhou Wangyi is just a county, before Zhu Qizhen classified the folds, such twists and turns could reach Zhu Qizhen's hands.

But that's just a theory.

After all, Zhu Qizhen sometimes can't deal with it, so he naturally needs the assistance of the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor.

After Zhu Qizhen made it clear that only heavy and urgent matters could be directly sent to the Qianqing Palace, but this matter of opening the canal, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be said that it is urgent, if it is heavy.

Zhu Qizhen didn't think for a while, where are there any canals on the Shandong Peninsula.

He felt that it was more that Wang Zhen was thinking about him, because this matter was related to water conservancy and shipping, and it was all something that Zhu Qizhen was thinking about. I think it's a realignment of priorities.

Zhu Qizhen readily commented: "Let's play the cause and effect of the Jiaodong Canal, and then discuss it." ”

Zhu Qizhen reviewed the final recital.

was about to wash up and sleep, but heard the little eunuch next to him remind: "Your Majesty, where is the queen?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned in his heart, and when he got busy, he almost forgot his wife. If it is another time, it may not matter, after all, between the emperor and the queen, it is not an ordinary couple.

is not only a husband and wife, but also a monarch and a minister.

He doesn't have any ill feelings towards the queen, but in his position, being unkind is the responsibility of the society, and it is really a kind of love, but it is a big bad thing for the big tomorrow.

Although he is only a teenager physically, his mental age is already more than thirty, and he has long looked down on those loves.

All I think is that you can't snub the middle palace, otherwise rumors will spread, making some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have, but it will make the harem out of order and a mess.

When he watched Gong Douwen back then, he was also relishing, but if he substituted himself into the role of the emperor, he would not be able to stand it a million.

Therefore, no matter what it is for, according to the etiquette law, showing the intimacy of the queen and consolidating the queen's position is the most worry-free way for him.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen doesn't hate Qian Wan'er either. Naturally, you have to give him face.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's go." ”

Someone led the way with a lantern. After a short time, Zhu Qizhen arrived at Kunning Palace. saw that Qian Wan'er had already dressed up and was waiting in front of Kunning Palace.

The weather in the spring, and a little cold.

Zhu Qizhen looked at her, not knowing whether it was the light rendering on his face, or the freezing red, which made Zhu Qizhen feel a trace of pity in his heart.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's go in, it's not early." What's the wind blowing here? ”

Qian Wan'er added a cloak to Zhu Qizhen with one hand and said, "Isn't this waiting?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "You don't have to wait in the future, if you want to see me, just come to the Qianqing Palace, and I will let the people below stay in the Qianqing Palace to keep a warm pavilion." ”

In fact, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not always call himself me. Among the holy decrees of Taizu Taizong, there are many who call themselves me. But although Zhu Qizhen has ascended the throne since he was a child, he has always had a sense of crisis in his heart, so he emphasizes his identity as an emperor on any occasion.

This little scheming, he probably didn't even notice it himself.

Now that the Empress Dowager is really back in power, he is also married, and his achievements in the Luchuan River have greatly increased his prestige, and the sea no longer regards him as a young master.

In this way, the nerves that have been tense in Zhu Qizhen's heart can be regarded as relaxed.

So when he was in the harem, he consciously or unconsciously used me more and less me.

Qian Wan'er greeted Zhu Qizhen into the inner room, retreated left and right, and personally changed Zhu Qizhen's clothes. But she had already inquired about Zhu Qizhen's habits, and knew that when Zhu Qizhen was sleeping, he didn't like people around him. Naturally, all the maids around him dared to go out. Let them serve outside.

Qian Wan'er said: "Your Majesty, the Qianqing Palace is an important place for the imperial court, and the concubines are concubines, so they can't go." ”

Zhu Qizhen opened his arms, asked Qian Wan'er to untie the knot under his arms for him, and said, "You are the queen, not the concubine." It's the vice president of the country, and there are some things you still have to understand. ”

Qian Wan'er was taken aback, knelt on the ground, and said: "The ancestors made the law, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines will never dare." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "Get up, I didn't let you do politics, it's just that you can do nothing, but you can't understand nothing." Just in case, once there is a just in case. I'm afraid the world still needs you to hold on. ”

Qian Wan'er was even more frightened and said, "Your Majesty, why do you say this? ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed, although he has the memory of later generations, but the memory of Emperor Xuanzong is also very profound. Naturally, Emperor Xuanzong felt a deep memory of the period from his illness to his death for no more than ten days, which can be described as unforgettable.

I know more that the fragility of ancient people's lives.

This is also the reason why he has always insisted on practicing archery and horse archery, not to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but to maintain a good body. I don't want to live a long life, I just want to be able to live every day.

It's just the mind of the Empress Dowager, and Zhu Qizhen can guess one or two. He himself had this idea, and Zhu Qizhen also gave up on the Queen Mother.

As for why Zhu Qizhen believed in Qian Wan'er so much, he met two sides and said such deep words.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen believes in how much Qian Wan'er loves him, but Zhu Qizhen believes that no one can give Qian Wan'er more than Zhu Qizhen

Big benefits.

As the mother of a country, Qian Wan'er will be the son of tomorrow for generations to come. Is there a greater benefit under heaven than this? Even Qian Wan'er is as strong as Wu Zetian, and she must compromise with the world.

Anyone can betray Zhu Qizhen, but Qian Wan'er will not.

Zhu Qizhen saw that Qian Wan'er was frightened, and said secretly in his heart: "It's not too late to say this in the future." He pulled it again and said: "In short, you are the queen, it is nothing to go to the Qianqing Palace, remember to stay in the Qianqing Palace in the future." ”

Qian Wan'er got up at this time, although she was slightly surprised in her heart, but when she thought that His Majesty was willing to do this for her, her heart was sweet.

Qian Wan'er said: "The concubine has thanked Your Majesty. ”

Qian Wan'er got up and changed Zhu Qizhen's clothes, and the husband and wife lay down on the bed. Zhu Qizhen smelled a faint fragrance, and couldn't find where the fragrance came from for a while. Zhu Qizhen asked while looking, "How are you in the palace?" ”

Zhu Qizhen asked casually, but Qian Wan'er was in a heartbeat, the Empress Dowager was harsh with her this morning, and she still had lingering palpitations. I had the heart to say it, but I thought: "How can this matter make Your Majesty upset, but I did a bad job, and when I go to say hello tomorrow, I just try my best to make the Empress Dowager happy." ”

Then she smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are very good to their concubines. Qian Wan'er found something from under the quilt and said, "Is Your Majesty looking for this?" ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at it, but it was a golden ball with a dragon and phoenix pattern carved out of layers of hollows, which seemed to be layer by layer, and with a slight movement, something inside rotated, and what was even more incredible was that there was a fragrance coming out of it.

What kind of spice is burning?

Zhu Qizhen stretched out his hand to take it, couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "This is actually an incense burner, I haven't seen it yet." I have seen it for a long time. ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what the principle was for a while, it seemed that he was using the center of gravity to make the incense burner inside always straight, no matter how it shook or turned, the incense burner would not fall, and even the incense ashes could not be poured out. I can even put it under the quilt. There will be no chance of a fire.

It stands to reason that the emperor used it to be extremely exquisite. It's just that Zhu Qizhen is either for the sake of true cultivation of virtue or for show. Anyway, he is simple in the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, it doesn't matter how simple it is, at least it is so simple that he can't bear the treatment of ordinary people. But in general, this kind of thing that is too delicate is not found in the Qianqing Palace.

Qian Wan'er said: "Your Majesty thinks that this fragrance is too strong, and the concubine can put it outside." ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Wait, let me take another look." For a while, Zhu Qizhen seemed to see it, a fun toy, fiddling with it a few times, if you want to see through the mechanism, it is best to disassemble it.

It's just the craftsmanship of the Ouchi craftsmen, if Zhu Qizhen can be dismantled with his bare hands, they don't have to live.
