Chapter 10 Milk Tea
That night, Zhu Youzhen finally ate a hot meal with peace of mind.
After eating, Zhu Youjian ordered Gao Qiqian to be called, then handed him a drawing, and instructed him to find someone to build this thing according to the drawing.
Gao Qiqian took the drawings, was a little surprised, and said secretly, "Your Majesty, don't learn from the emperor, just play carpenter work if you have nothing to do."
After sending away Gao Qiqian, Zhu Youzhen was a little restless, and wanted to go to the queen to sit down.
People have just moved, and it stands to reason that they should go to the warm pot.
Zhu Youzhen comforted himself, and then walked out of the back door of the Qianqing Palace and went to Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhou had just finished eating at this time, and she was sitting at the table in a daze, secretly thinking about whether His Majesty would come tonight.
If you don't come, do you want to take the initiative to send some warmth to Your Majesty?
At this time, it was during the national funeral, so there was no need to think about the issue of waiting, but after a long absence, Queen Zhou still missed Zhu Youzhen very much.
When I was distracted, His Majesty arrived, like a warm wind blowing across the mirror lake, blowing a pool of spring water.
The corners of Queen Zhou's mouth quickly curled, and then she was busy straightening her clothes, and her body floated lightly to the main hall.
"I'm just here to see if you're used to it? No need to be polite. ”
Zhu Youzhen stepped forward to personally help Queen Zhou, looked at each other, but saw that his Queen Zhou turned out to be a girl.
In fact, earlier in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen saw Queen Zhou, but due to the large number of people and the distance, he did not take a closer look.
At this time, when I looked closely, I saw that Queen Zhou had a fair and delicate face and a well-proportioned figure, but she was sixteen or seventeen years old.
I was a little speechless for a while.
But Zhu Youzhen didn't realize that he was only sixteen years old this year, and it was just the memories of later generations that made him feel mature.
Seeing Zhu Youzhen looking at herself blankly, Queen Zhou was a little at a loss, thinking, Your Majesty has to control it, now is the period of national mourning.
Queen Zhou, who was thinking about how to refuse, suddenly found that the hand holding her arm had already been released.
She suddenly realized that she was thinking too much, and instantly a flush flew on her face, and she was a little embarrassed.
Zhu Youzhen went straight around the Kunning Palace, looked around, and found that it was quite properly cleaned up, so he was relieved.
Then the two sat down and talked for a while.
Judging from his appearance alone, Zhu Youzhen is still quite satisfied with this queen who fell from the sky, but he doesn't know what his personality is and whether he will get along with him.
But that's all that will come later.
After staying for a while, Zhu Youzhen realized that he should go, and if he didn't leave, it was estimated that tomorrow Yushi would impeach him for violating the norm during his mourning.
Before leaving, Zhu Youzhen left a bag of milk tea for Queen Zhou.
Of course, the packaging was removed, and Zhu Youzhen put it in a delicate porcelain jar.
Milk tea, girls will like it.
"Life in the palace is boring, just tell me if you need anything."
After leaving these words, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly left Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Youzhen's departing back, her heart was warm, but she felt that this emperor was a little strange.
Zhu Youzhen didn't have such patience with himself in the past, and a trace of a feeling that he had never felt before came to his heart.
Empress Zhou looked at the porcelain jar quietly, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and finally knew what that feeling was.
Understanding and respect, and understanding and respect that flow naturally.
Scoop out the snow-white milk tea, rinse it with boiling water, stir well, and take a sip of Queen Zhou.
Well, that's sweet!
Zhu You checked out Kunning Palace, and when he saw that the moonlight was just right, he walked around the Forbidden City twice.
After eating, walk a hundred steps and live to ninety-nine.
Zhu Youzhen took a big breath of fresh air, and then did stretching exercises.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly there was a cry from the corner of the wall.
The guards around him were immediately alert, and then stepped forward to check, only to see a small eunuch curled up in the corner.
The little eunuch was soon brought to Zhu Youzhen.
Raising the lantern, he looked at it, although he was a little eunuch, he looked like a child about ten years old.
Hey, a child less than ten years old was cut and sent to the palace, how could this parent be ruthless.
Zhu Youzhen felt pity, and then slandered his parents.
In fact, what Zhu Youzhen didn't know was that in this era, being able to enter the palace as a eunuch is a very promising job.
In order to get this iron rice bowl, many people not only need to self-palace, but also have to spend money to dredge.
For this reason, the Ming Dynasty also issued a separate decree prohibiting the people from castrating on their own, and the violator was forty rods.
"Why are you crying?"
Although he was a little eunuch who didn't enter the stream, he still knew the dragon robe, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid just fell, wiped her face, and was in some pain, so she couldn't help crying."
Although it was the first time to face the saint, this little eunuch was nervous, but he was still very clever and did not tell the truth.
In fact, he was bullied by the eunuch from Zhu Youzhen's mansion, but he didn't dare to say it.
Now in the palace is the time when the old and new forces are alternate, and it is cool to take the opportunity to complain to the emperor at this time.
But in the long run, the eunuchs of the Hidden Mansion Conglong will be in power sooner or later, and they can only endure it.
Thinking of mercy, His Majesty is likely to uphold justice for himself, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the emperor cannot always protect himself, as long as he sues now, then there is only a dead end waiting for him.
There is a way to survive in the palace in the palace, he is like an ant, although the opportunity comes at this time, he does not dare to stretch out his hand.
Zhu Youzhen took the lantern from the guard's hand, and then shone it on the little eunuch's face.
This is obviously not a fall.
"You got beaten up today, didn't you?"
Seeing that His Majesty had seen through it, the little eunuch still didn't dare to answer, bowed his head and was silent.
Zhu Youzhen was puzzled, thought about it, and also thought of the joints here, for Gao Qiqian's behavior in the palace today, Zhu Youzhen was acquiescing.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, regardless of whether they are high-ranking officials and dignitaries or low-level slaves, dumping is everywhere.
However, judging from the response of this little eunuch, he is also a person with seven tricks, and he should be able to survive this crisis, and helping him at this time will hurt him.
"Bear with me, bow your head more in case of trouble, and it will be fine in two days."
Zhu Youzhen, who has been a person in two lives, naturally did not have the urge to be a blue sky at this time, and after some encouragement, he gave up.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his brain suddenly jerked.
"What's your name?"
"Back to Your Majesty, slave Wang Chengen."
The little eunuch's voice was extremely soft, but Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to hear it.
"Say it again, what's your name?"
Zhu Youzhen was a little excited for a while, it was the excitement of seeing a historical figure, which made the guards around him a little puzzled, I don't know what His Majesty was excited about this little eunuch.
But they have been in the palace for a long time, and they are naturally elves, and they all pretend to be background boards at this time, standing left and right, but they feel in their hearts that this little eunuch is going to be lucky.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is called Wang Chengen."
The little eunuch said again with some horror, and at this time his voice was a little louder, but there were more trills, probably frightened.
"Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen, haha, good, yes, he is a loyal minister!"
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he laughed.
The laughter was particularly clear in the silent palace.
