After breakfast, Xie Zhi went to Kunning Palace with Zhu Houzhao.

This time, since Zhu Xiurong's accident, Xie Zhi met Empress Zhang for the first time.

The current Empress Zhang is a lot haggard compared with before, there is a little less light in her eyes, cloudy eyes, and miserable face, if it is not for the support of noble light makeup, I am afraid that she will be even more haggard.

At this time, Empress Zhang was accompanied by Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's wife.

However, although these two nobles are dignified uncles and wives, their actions and actions are no different from ordinary market women.

Xie Zhi really didn't have a good impression of the two of them, and after saluting Queen Zhang, he just said hello to them lightly.

The two women didn't care about Xie Zhi's attitude at all.

Mrs. Zhang Heling praised with a smile: "Uncle Yun Zhong's young age is really a good skill, such a big matter as King Ning's rebellion can be solved so easily, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks of the Zhou family are not good things at first glance, I can't imagine that they dare to rebel and dare to kill the king."

The murder of the monarch was not successful, but it was a pity for Her Royal Highness the princess, and the concubine was only the niece, and the good one was murdered by Zhou Ping, who killed him that day. ”

Originally, Empress Zhang's eyes were a little blank and her face was a little haggard, but after Mrs. Zhang Heling said this, Empress Zhang's face was instantly full of tears.

The tears were like beads with broken threads, falling down vigorously.

Queen Zhang is Zhu Houzhao's mother, Zhu Houzhao may be a little unreliable when he usually does things, but he is definitely filial.

Seeing his wife like this, he didn't care about any elders or etiquette, and yelled directly at Zhang Heling's wife: "Shut up in this palace." ”

After all, Zhu Houzhao is the crown prince, and if he has some relationship with the Zhang family, it is different from the monarch and the minister.

Zhu Houzhao roared like this, which was still very effective.

Mrs. Zhang Heling shrank and didn't dare to say more, her eyes shrank and looked at Zhu Houzhao and didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Houzhao scolded again: "Go out to the palace, the palace has something to say to the queen mother." ”

Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was reprimanded, Mrs. Zhang Heling nodded again and again as if she had been amnestied, and replied: "The courtiers will go out here, and they will go out here..."

Mrs. Zhang Heling ran away, and Mrs. Zhang Yanling was left to leave.

After a while, he pointed to himself and asked Zhu Houzhao what he meant.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand angrily and said, "You get out too!" ”

Mrs. Zhang Yanling ran out of the door like the wind, Xu was in a hurry, and collided with the door frame.

In fact, it's really not to blame Zhu Houzhao's bad attitude, every time these two enter the palace, they have to take something good for themselves and bring it back.

During this time, Empress Zhang didn't have the heart to worry about the things in Kunning Palace, and these two took away more.

The name is that he came to accompany Queen Zhang, but in fact, he was paid for by the palace for food and accommodation.

Every time you eat, you have to order food.

Although it is a vegetarian dish, it is also seven or eight.

Empress Zhang had no appetite, but in the end, they all fell into the mouths of those two.

After sending the two away, Zhu Houzhao said: "Queen Mother, my sister is no longer there, and the queen mother has to be careful of her body, the sister's matter has exhausted my father, if the queen mother has three long and two short, how can my father be good?" For the sake of the father and the emperor, the queen mother should also get out of grief as soon as possible! ”

It's easy to say, but it's not so easy when you actually put it into practice.

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Empress Zhang took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said, "This palace knows." ”

As he spoke, he reluctantly pulled up a smile, and greeted Xie Zhi with a smile: "Uncle Yunzhong, come, come to the palace!" ”

Xie Zhi was not polite, walked directly to Zhu Houzhao's side, stood next to Queen Zhang, and shouted with a standard smile: "Niangniang! ”

Empress Zhang took Xie Zhi's hand and said: "This palace knows that the person who killed Xiurong is King Ning behind the scenes, and this time escorting King Ning into Beijing is your first merit, and it is also your own work to avenge Xiurong." ”

Xie Zhi could also guess that Empress Zhang must have been talking about this when she called him over.

As a mother, when she learned that her daughter had taken revenge, she had to meet the person who avenged her in person.

To Empress Zhang's words, Xie Zhi pulled up a smile, and said with a smile: "This is the minister's redone, Niangniang beware of her body, the minister looks at Niangniang this haggard a lot, presumably the appetite is not very good, the tofu produced by Xuezhuang in the clouds is famous, the powerful and rich in Beijing and there are people who have traveled thousands of miles to procure from it, and the minister will return to the clouds in a few days, and after the minister goes back, the minister will send some into the palace, Niangniang should enlighten herself as soon as possible out of this shadow, Your Majesty loves Niangniang deeply, if Niangniang has a three long and two short, the blow to Your Majesty will be greater. ”

The only people who can say such persuasive words are those who truly care.

Such words were never said by Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

As long as the two entered the palace, they shouted to seek revenge on the Zhou family, but as for their own situation, they never really cared.

Thinking of this question, Empress Zhang's heart hurt even more.

After a while, Empress Zhang asked: "Xie Zhi, Your Majesty and Zhao'er both believe you, this palace wants to ask you, I hope you can tell the truth with this palace." ”

Empress Zhang said this, why was Xie Zhi a little nervous.

However, since Empress Zhang opened her mouth, Xie Zhi could only say: "Niangniang, please ask, this person has always been sincere, and he must know everything, and he must say everything, Niangniang, please ask." ”

After receiving Xie Zhi's assurance, Empress Zhang said: "You tell the truth with this palace, can the Zhang family become the second Zhou family?" ”

This question may have been considered by Empress Zhang when it was revealed that the Zhou family was involved in the assassination of Zhu Xiurong, right?

On top of this question, Xie Zhi answered very sincerely, and said: "Yes, it is very likely that people's ambition is infinitely inflated, and when the children of the Zhang family are not satisfied with the existing glory, ambition will prompt them to do irreparable things." ”

In fact, the Zhang family did not have the courage to rebel.

Besides, as far as Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are concerned, even if they want to rebel, they won't even go far away from the Zhou family.

After Xie Zhi answered, Empress Zhang said: "This palace knows that the descendants of the Zhang family cannot be rich forever, and this palace only hopes that they can be safe. ”

As she spoke, Empress Zhang said, "Take the jade from the Mu family in Yunnan and give it to Xie Zhi." ”

The main reason why Empress Zhang rewarded these things was because he avenged Zhu Xiurong.

Xie Zhi didn't excuse himself, and replied directly: "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

These jade objects are a set of bracelets, earrings, and hairpins.

Although Xie Zhi doesn't know much about these things, it should be good to look at this color.

In any case, how could the tribute to the palace be bad.

Xie Zhi took the thing, thank you.

After that, Empress Zhang immediately said: "Your Majesty decreed to marry you and the eighth sister of King Ning, and the palace learned the news from the mouth of the Marquis of Shouning, since it was Your Majesty's decree, presumably the woman should also be a good person, and the matter of Xiurong should not be involved in her, so you can give her this jade." ”

Although Zhu Xiurong's matter has nothing to do with Zhu Hui, after all, it also has something to do with King Ning.

Empress Zhang can accept it so easily, and her open-mindedness is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

What can Xie Zhi do, there is only thanks.

took Empress Zhang's jade, and Xie Zhi went out of the palace and returned home.

Zhu Hui had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when she saw Xie Zhi coming back, her face was obviously relieved.

Xie Zhi's sisters-in-law, who were beside Zhu Hui, joked with a smile and said, "Zhu Hui has been looking at it early in the morning, and she is very worried. ”

Xie Zhi was not shy about this kind of joke, and said with a smile: "This shows that a certain woman cares about a certain thing, a good thing." ”

As he spoke, he took out the jade given by Empress Zhang and said, "This is for you by Niangniang." ”

Xie Zhi took out his earrings in front of several sisters-in-law and said, "Come, help you put them on." ”

Several women couldn't stay any longer, and said with a smile: "I won't disturb the fifth brother when I wait." ”

A few people left, and Xie Zhi said: "Zhu Gongtiao, Your Majesty has promised to keep him alive, as for how to deal with King Ning, the three law divisions will decide, but in the end, you should also be prepared." ”

Although Zhu Hui was a little lonely, she still nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Xie Zhi put on earrings for him, put on a hairpin, and said again: "You will have to go back to the clouds in a few days, so you can stay at home." ”

Zhu Hui didn't, and said, "What about the clouds? If you can go, the little woman can go. ”

This character, he likes.
