At any time, it is not very proper for the inner palace to receive foreign ministers.

This is also the rule that the Ming Dynasty has set since the time of Lao Zhu, concubines, including the queen, only choose small families.

Even if you have to see it, you have to be decent and try to avoid being criticized.

Although this is an extraordinary period, Queen Zhou came to see Xu Changqing late at night, no matter how you look at it, it is not compliant, but Queen Zhou has a reason to come......

Xu Changqing's military discussion just now has made the matter very clear, and the nobles in the capital must work hard to save them.

Although she is a queen and has a phoenix robe, she always has a family.

Even if Zhou Kui is not authentic, she is still her father after all, she still has some ability, how can she not be saved when she dies?

What's more, there are many people in the palace, including the former emperor's empress Zhang Baozhu, several concubines, and even the older Li Xuanzhi and others, no matter what level it is, she has to talk to Xu Changqing about this matter.

Especially...... There is another reason that cannot be said......

The question of her subsequent treatment......

In the midst of the entanglement, Queen Zhou suddenly found that she was already sweating......

Just when she was about to lose her hold, Dong Yu's voice finally came from inside, "Xu Changqing let her in." ”

This made Queen Zhou a little relieved, and hurriedly glanced at Dong Yu gratefully, took a small step, and cautiously entered the tent.

"Minister Xu Changqing, I have seen the queen's mother......"

Seeing Empress Zhou coming in, Xu Changqing struggled to get up and salute.

Empress Zhou hurriedly greeted her, "Uncle, you are unwell, don't be polite." ”

Saying that, she hesitated, but still mustered up her courage and stretched out her hand to help Xu Changqing lie down.

Xu Changqing could clearly feel that her little hand trembled like an electric shock the moment it touched her arm, and her hand seemed to be a little cold......

However, in the adult world, there are many things that do not need to be said too clearly.

Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, and then said: "Queen Mother, I don't know it's so late, what are you looking for a humble position?" ”

Empress Zhou stood beside Xu Changqing, her tears couldn't help but fall again, and she complained: "Uncle Zhongyi, this palace knows that if this matter is spoken, it will definitely embarrass you, but this palace is not alone, the family of this palace...... Hongu really can't just watch them fall into the hands of thieves. ”

Although he asked knowingly, Xu Changqing still pretended to be surprised and said: "Queen Mother, do you mean Zhou Guoye?" ”

Anyway, it was tacit acting, and Queen Zhou let go after a while, and she pitifully begged for tricks in front of Xu Changqing.

Looking at her lovely appearance with pear blossoms and rain, Xu Changqing had to sigh for a while, this woman is really very tasteful.

In this era, for ordinary women, they are basically half-old at this age, but Queen Zhou, as the master of the harem, her living nutrition conditions are definitely not comparable to ordinary women, which makes her similar to many women in later generations, and she is at the peak of her life.

Even though the level of appearance is not the highest, it is far inferior to Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen, including Mi Zhou'er, and they are well-behaved, but this kind of lofty temperament, graceful and luxurious posture, and the charm between a smile and a smile, Gu Hengbo and them are not comparable at all.

The so-called 'delicate flesh' is nothing more than that.

Seeing that Xu Changqing seemed to be in a state of thought, Queen Zhou bit her delicate red lips, and couldn't help but increase her bargaining chips again: "Uncle Zhongyi, the family in this palace is only one aspect, but there are also some people in the palace, including the queen of the first emperor, as well as many concubines, as well as the concubines of Lord Taichang back then, if it is possible, I still have to bother Zhongyi Bo to bother a lot......"

If Empress Zhou hadn't said this, Xu Changqing would have thrown this matter out of the clouds, after all, the imperial city was attacked by thieves, and it was also the most severely affected area that day.

But Queen Zhou is definitely not stupid, since she came out to talk about this, she must be prepared.

"The queen mother means ......"

Xu Changqing looked into Empress Zhou's eyes.

Queen Zhou bit her red lip again: "Uncle, this, this kind of thing, we, we always want to see people in life and corpses in death...... The thieves have taken possession of my Jingshi, and they want to replace me with the Ming Dynasty, if they don't do a good job in this matter......"

Although she did not continue, the meaning was already clear.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but glance at Queen Zhou even higher, this woman's ability is indeed possible.

To put it bluntly, it's no wonder it's dirty water.

Although there are many garbage things in the Wandering People's Army, it is not an exaggeration to be full of evil, but after all, they occupy the general trend at this time, and it is much easier than Xu Changqing, who is a courtier after all.

But what Queen Zhou said can allow Xu Changqing to seize part of the initiative, especially if she puts this into the negotiation, she will definitely occupy more initiative.

It must be known that the thieves are in trouble in the Central Plains and the north, and even if Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, He Yilong and others are added, they only occupy a part of Huguang and Sichuan.

And these places are not the core!

Daming, two capitals and thirteen provinces!

Nanjing, the real core, as well as most of the southern part of the Yangtze River and the coast, were not affected, and these places were not only wealthy, but also controlled the discourse of Shilin.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, just about to speak.

At this time, there was a sudden report from the soldiers outside, and Luo Xiushen came over again.

This made Queen Zhou's face change greatly!

Luo Xiushen is still in the capital, in case he sees himself and Xu Changqing here...... It's just yellow mud falling into the crotch of your pants, isn't it......

Seeing that Queen Zhou was panicked and wanted to escape, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile.

Even if Queen Zhou has good ability, she has the foundation and the means, but she has not been beaten by wind and rain, and she is still thin and tight.

"Queen Mother, otherwise, you go and rest first, Luo Xiushen should have something important to discuss with me."

Xu Changqing pretended not to understand Queen Zhou's worries, and said with a smile.

“……”

Queen Zhou also came back to her senses, and her silver teeth were about to be broken for a while, Xu Changqing, a bastard, was clearly blatant...... Flirting with her......

But there really wasn't anything she could do at this point......

After a while, Queen Zhou simply let it go, blushed and pretty, and said in a coquettish voice: "Uncle——, you here, if Luo Xiu sees that this palace is here, how should you explain your reputation and the reputation of this palace to the people of the world?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing pretended to come back to his senses, slapped his head hard, and said embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, this matter is not considered for consideration." ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing pretended to investigate and said, "Queen Mother, or, you, you should be wronged first and hide behind your humble position?" Wait for Luo Xiu to come in, and he won't let him rely on the front of the lowly position, he won't see it. ”

“……”

Empress Zhou hurriedly stood on tiptoe and carefully checked the position behind Xu Changqing.

Although Xu Changqing's marching bed occupies a lot of space, if he wants to hide behind Xu Changqing and not be discovered, he must stick to the bed very close......

In particular, there is a part of the bed that is vacuum......

This means that if Queen Zhou wants to avoid Luo Yang's investigation, she must stick to the edge of the bed, and then use Xu Changqing's quilt......

But at this time, Queen Zhou had no choice, so she could only grit her silver teeth and nodded: "Uncle, yes, offended ......"

Listen, what is the truth of this, it is obvious that Xu Changqing deliberately wants to play tricks on her, but she still has to say, 'offend ......'

For a while, Queen Zhou really had the urge to cry.

She is a dignified golden phoenix, when did she actually fall into such a field.

It's a pity that she understands that if she leaves Xu Changqing, not only her, but her son, including the countless people who have been attached to her, will be like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and there will be no one to rely on.

In particular, Xu Changqing is not only young and heroic, full of manliness, but also extremely responsible and humorous......

Empress Zhou hesitated for a moment, then came to Xu Changqing's side, and then carefully lifted some of Xu Changqing's quilts......

Xu Changqing experienced it for more than a minute, and this was the way to recruit Luo Xiu in without delay.

"Humble Luo cultivates himself, I've seen my uncle!"

"Hehe, self-cultivation, no need to be polite, how is the situation in the city?"

This little field didn't make a big deal in the face of Xu Changqing at all, and looked at Luo Xiushen slowly and methodically.

But under the quilt, Xu Changqing inadvertently grabbed Queen Zhou's little hand.

Queen Zhou was busy struggling, but she couldn't match Xu Changqing's strength, and after struggling for a while, she also gave up and didn't dare to move......

"Uncle Hui, the lowly brother, has already met Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng agreed to meet with your uncle in principle to discuss some affairs, but it is ......"

Luo Xiushen said, looking at Xu Changqing carefully, not daring to say it for a while.

"It's okay to be straight!"

"Yes......"

"Uncle, Li Zicheng said, you, you are not equal to him, if you don't have the same conditions as him, then there is no ...... to talk about"

"Huh."

Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing.

He already knew that Li Zicheng would definitely put forward conditions, but he didn't expect this guy to be pretended, what does it mean to be unequal?

However, Xu Changqing quickly calmed down.

Don't say that Li Zicheng is just a small pretend at this time, it is directly slapped into Xu Changqing's face, and Xu Changqing will spit on himself for a moment.

You can't be tough with the son of the plane when he is at his strongest, right?

This is not the work of the wise.

Not to mention, Li Zicheng was far from angering Xu Changqing, he just wanted to show his current superiority.

I'm afraid that only by showing this sense of superiority in front of Xu Changqing can he be more comfortable.

Li Zicheng said that Xu Changqing was not equal to him, but in fact, he always regarded Xu Changqing as a great enemy of life and death, and even a 'friend'.

He has a point. In this way, you go back, immediately let your brother go back to him, I, Xu Changqing, still have a lot of respect for him, but there are some things that must be discussed. I, Xu Changqing, have shown the greatest sincerity, if Li Zicheng really doesn't want to talk about it, I can only stop leaving! ”

"Well, it's ......"

sent away Luo Xiushen, for a long time, Queen Zhou came out from under the quilt behind Xu Changqing, her pretty face was already blushing, I don't know if it was hot or ashamed, and whispered: "Are you crazy?" Are you still so badly injured? ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "I've had bad skin and thick flesh since I was a child, and there is no problem anymore, don't believe it, you can help me take a look." ”

“……”

Queen Zhou's pretty face couldn't help but turn redder, and she took a sip of anger.

But Xu Changqing's safety was too critical, she still carefully lifted the quilt and checked Xu Changqing's wounds.

Immediately, her delicate body couldn't help but freeze suddenly.

Although she had long expected that Xu Changqing's injury would not be light, she really saw it at this time, and she only understood how much Xu Changqing had endured, and it was never an exaggeration to 'scrape the bones to heal the wounds'.

Busy is looking at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled self-deprecatingly: "Queen Mother, I, Xu Changqing, have sold my life to your heavenly family, but what your heavenly family has done is really chilling!" ”
