The minister is a soldier, and it is his duty to fight in all directions to recover the territory. The minister does not seek to be promoted, nor does he want any Danshu iron coupons, but only wants to enjoy his old age in the big mansion given to the minister by the Lord of Long Live after the four seas are subdued. Zhu Siwan said: "You old fox, what are you worried about, did my words just now touch you?" Ma Jinzhong was noncommittal, and Zhu Si said: "If everything is foreseen, it will be wasted if it is not prepared, and the reason why I pretended to talk about this matter is that I don't want to bear the infamy of mutilating my siblings." I can't afford it. Only by saying everything in front of you is truly responsible for you heroes. ”

said goodbye to Ma Jinzhong and returned to the harem. Since returning to Nanjing, most of the imperial concubines have lived in the West Sixth Palace, which is probably his Sixth Palace Fandel. In the west of the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, there are the West Palace, the West Sixth Palace and the West Fifth Palace, and there are many palace rooms. Zhu Si most often lived in the West Palace, and this was also the common residence of him and Su Pei. Shu Yao and Mu Qing were still used to living together, even when Zhu Si went to them. Mei'er also lives in the West Sixth Palace like Shu Yao Muqing, but the palace room is a little back. Anyway, the West Sixth Palace does not have as many Sixth Palaces Fandel, so it doesn't matter if it meets the level or not.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces lives in the Great Shan Palace, and the Chunhe Hall is where the prince lives, but now Zhu Si has not yet established the prince, so whether Zhu Cixuan or Zhu Ciye has not, they have never lived there, but with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces living in the Great Shan Palace. So there is an interesting phenomenon, a huge harem inner courtyard, everyone lives in the west of Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace.

There is another thing that needs to be explained, Mei'er gave birth to a little princess Su Zhen since Shu Yao, and also gave birth to a son for Zhu Si, named Zhu Wei. Soon after, Mu Qing gave birth to a prince named Zhu Ciyi. Although the prince who came out of the concubine was also a prince, he was not treated by Ci Xuan and Ci Ye, not only could he not live in the palace of the imperial grandmother, but he could not even live in the residence of Mei'er and Mu Qing. These are all the rules of the harem, and the queen mother of the two palaces dares to destroy it, but others cannot.

Zhu Si returned to the West Palace, and the four women were sitting together chatting, knowing that Zhu Si hurried to greet him after he came back. Zhu Si asked, "What time is this, why don't you sleep yet?" Su Pei replied: "Your long-lived lord hasn't come back yet, do the concubines and sisters dare to go to sleep first?" How are they, are White Gate and Deng Kai okay? I will call her to the palace another day, and I will say that the concubine misses her again. "Okay, okay! Not to mention, I went to eat their wine, and asked the imperial sister to give away a hundred taels of silver and a jade pendant. When Mei'er heard this, she got angry: "Kou Mei is so bold? It's really disrespectful, long live the Lord to congratulate her, and she still stretched out her hand to ask for money? The sisters gave her so many dowries, and weren't so many wine shops on the Qinhuai River also given to her by the Lord Banzai? Xiao Quanzi, tell me what's going on? ”

Xiao Quanzi replied: "Hui Niangniang, it's all a joke, long live the Lord and the big guys to have fun together, it doesn't matter." "Okay, you're a little whole, and you're talking for outsiders." Mei'er didn't follow, and Zhu Si comforted: "Okay, okay, when I talk to you, it's a joke, why are you still serious?" The husband and wife have done so much for the court, why do you even have to keep this little money in mind? Seeing that Mei'er was also quiet, the atmosphere seemed a little tense and weird. Zhu Si neither spoke nor refused to leave, a few women, you look at me, I will look at you, and finally Kou Mei stood up, and said with a soft gaze: "It's not early, Shiro, let Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu accompany you tonight, it's inconvenient for concubines." ”

Shu Yao's face was unconsciously overflowing with a smile, who knew that Mu Qing also got up and said: "Two days ago, the two of us and Sister Mei'er served Long Live Lord, according to ordinary habits, these two days should also be the queen's mother." You are the main palace, but why do you always let us? "Since Mu Qing has already said so, Shu Yao and Mei'er have also been blessed with her and withdrew." Little sister, when are you inconvenient, will I still be unclear? ”

Zhu Si sighed, kissed Su Pei's forehead and said: "Now the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, and it is only in the evening to sweep away Hu Yu." "Although I am a woman, I have been married to you for so long. Although it is not clear about military strategy, it is still generally clear. This time is extraordinary, Dolgon, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, has been looking for an opportunity to fight you. Compared with this battle, the previous battle is absolutely incomparable. It's going to be a showdown, don't lie to me. ”

"Then after I leave, you will lock the door of the room, and accompany the queen mother and the mother concubine to chant the Buddha every day, and then within a month or two, I will be able to return to the court victoriously." "I'll go to Dingsheng every day, don't worry, but I won't leave this room, I can't bear your taste."

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Fulu came to wait for Zhu Si to get up, and said by the way: "Long live Lord, Deng Kai has come to ask you for his guilt." "Where are the others?" "Wait outside the palace gate for your will to enter the palace." Zhu Si said again: "Then let him in." "Zhang Fulu went to call Deng Kai, Zhu Si turned around and said to Su Pei: Go to Concubine Xian to get a hundred taels of silver, this is the wine money owed to Kou Mei yesterday, Hao Yongzhong took it for me, and I will ask you to return this money to Hao Yongzhong later."

"Long live Lord, are you really giving it?" While speaking, Shu Yao and Mu Qing both came outside. "Why don't you give it? You don't have any jokes, not to mention that I had to go to her Yiyue Building yesterday, and as soon as I go, Yiyue Building will definitely not be able to operate. Who knew that Xiao Quanzi also played a careful trick with Kou Yatou, saying that he would only charter one floor for a banquet, but he was still asked for a hundred taels of silver by Kou Yatou. ”

"The minister is guilty, please long live the lord to punish him!" A voice appeared behind him, and as soon as everyone turned around, Deng Kai was already kneeling there to plead guilty. "Okay, get up, it's just a few jokes from my family, I married the royal sister to you, and I still care about that little bit of silver?"

Deng Kai actually didn't hear what Zhu Si and the others were saying just now, so he said: "Long live Lord, Weichen has come to ask for sin, not for the matter of silver, but for the poem on the wall." "Isn't it just a crooked poem, and you haven't declared a rebellion, what are you guilty of?" It must be known that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. ”

Deng Kai hurriedly replied: "Long Live Lord Shengming, after you left last night, the princess ordered someone to copy one hundred and ten copies of Long Live Lord's poems and post them in front of the palace gates of the Gongyuan, Taixue and Qu Shiyun. "Kou Yatou is clearly looking for fault." Deng Kai said: "Weichen also wants to make big things small, but he persuades him not to listen to the princess. Zhu Sidao: "Since you are husband and wife, you can't let her do everything, whether it's right or wrong." But since Kou Yatou has already posted the poem everywhere, she doesn't care about it. A bunch of nerds, can't turn the sky. ”

Several women didn't comment, and after Zhu Si went to the court, Shu Yao Muqing carefully asked Su Pei about the story that happened last night and this morning. Su Pei talked about Zhu Si writing poems and scolding Qu Renjie in the restaurant last night, everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and Mu Qing said: "Our official family, this childishness really can't be changed." ”
