Chapter 418: The Queen's Temptation
As soon as Zhang Yan arrived at Zhu Hao's camp, she was blocked by the guards guarding the camp.
Zhang Yan knew that the time was urgent, so she didn't talk nonsense and directly reported her identity.
As soon as the camp guard heard that it was the queen's mother who was coming, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to Zhu Hao, who was already preparing to rest, to report the situation.
When Zhu Hao heard this, he was also startled, and suddenly felt sleepy, so he hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him in person.
After Zhu Hao left the camp, he found that things were a little embarrassing, and he had not seen Zhang Yan.
Because at the beginning, when his emperor's eldest brother, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, got married, he was still on the battlefield in Liaodong.
Therefore, although Zhu Hao knew that his emperor's eldest brother was married and knew the queen's name, he had never seen him.
At this moment, someone came to see him and said that it was the queen Zhang Yan, which made Zhu Hao difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while.
Therefore, when Zhu Hao saw Zhang Yan, he was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Zhang Yan, who was only wearing the costume of an ordinary maid, he couldn't help asking:
"Are you the Queen?"
Zhang Yan didn't expect that when she met Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao didn't give her a gift for the first time, but instead interrogated her, which made her a little annoyed, and said with a sullen face:
"What, doesn't King Shin look like this palace?"
"I don't know what King Xin thinks it should be like to be the queen of the dynasty?"
The reason why Zhang Yan can recognize Zhu Hao at a glance is because Zhu Hao and Zhu Youxiao look very similar.
Otherwise, when Zhu Hao met Guo Mengdie, Guo Mengdie would not have recognized Zhu Hao as Zhu Youxiao.
Zhang Yan asked Zhu Hao to comment that being the queen of the dynasty is definitely a bit of a curse.
However, Zhang Yan had no malicious intent, she said this just to test Zhu Hao's character.
After all, this is still the first time the uncle and sister-in-law have met, and they don't know each other very well.
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Yan's words, shook his head slightly, and said:
"When the queen of the dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, she is the Ming Dynasty, and the prosecutor is the Ming courtier, how dare you comment on it!"
"As for you, until you prove your identity, please forgive you for the offense!"
"Please, let's prove your identity first!"
Zhang Yan listened to Zhu Hao's words, nodded secretly in her heart, and said in her heart:
"This king of faith can respect me so much without seeing me, presumably because of his deep brotherhood for Your Majesty."
Although Zhang Yan already has a preliminary good impression of Zhu Hao.
But Zhang Yan did not give up, testing Zhu Hao, she continued to speak:
"His Royal Highness King Xin, what a big temper!"
"I don't know if I can prove my identity, what should I do if I believe in the king, and what if I can't prove my identity?"
Zhu Hao didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, and immediately said:
"If you are really the queen's mother, you should treat each other politely and pour tea to make amends!"
"If not, then this king will not embarrass Mrs., but this military camp is an important place, please don't mess around here, and leave quickly!"
Zhang Yan listened to Zhu Hao's words, nodded slightly, and said secretly in her heart:
"What a king of faith, reasonable and modest, advancing and retreating in moderation, neither losing manners, nor bullying women and children!"
"No wonder His Majesty trusts him so much!"
Thinking like this in her heart, Zhang Yan couldn't help but evaluate Zhu Hao a few points higher.
However, Rao is like this, Zhang Yan still did not give up, and for Zhu Hao's test, she continued to speak:
"I tell you, before I can prove my identity, I don't know if I can ask His Royal Highness to answer me a question first!"
Zhu Hao observed Zhang Yan's conversation and behavior, and most of them were convinced in his heart that Zhang Yan was the queen's mother.
Zhu Hao thought that with Zhang Yan's demeanor, even if Zhang Yan was not the queen's mother, her identity would inevitably be unusual.
Therefore, Zhang Yan's words, as soon as they were spoken, Zhu Hao politely said:
"Madam, please say, this king must know everything!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness King Xin, he is really a cheerful person!"
"Then I won't go around the bush!"
Zhang Yan's words came to this, Zhu Hao hugged his fists and said:
"Please speak up, ma'am!"
Zhang Yan nodded with a smile, and then spoke:
"I heard that King Xin returned to Beijing this time to prepare to establish himself as emperor, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Zhang Yan's words are not direct, they are simply earth-shattering words, Rao is Zhu Hao is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he was also stunned at this moment, and immediately shouted angrily:
"This king, Mrs. Guan's words and deeds are also knowledgeable people, and I don't want to say such a big rebellious word!"
"You are so believing and confusing the people, this king will not keep you!"
"Come on, take down this demon girl!"
With Zhu Hao's order, soldiers stepped forward on the left and right, Zhang Yan was not flustered when he saw this, and took out a piece of jade pendant in his hand and said:
"Wait!"
"Does King Xin know this?"
Zhu Hao looked at the jade pendant in Zhang Yan's hand, crystal clear, and there was a lifelike phoenix carved on it, he was shocked at the moment, he stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers who wanted to step forward to take down Zhang Yan.
The reason why Zhu Hao did this is because the jade pendant in Zhang Yan's hand is one of a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, which is a thing handed down during the Chengzu period.
In Zhu Hao's early years, in the palace, he saw this phoenix pendant from the hands of Queen Guo, so he naturally knew this thing.
After Zhu Hao motioned for the soldier to stop, he immediately lifted his robe and bowed:
"Brother Zhu Youzhen, I didn't know that the queen mother was coming, there were many offensive things about the mother just now, please punish the mother!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yan said with a smile:
"Brother Huang, please get up quickly, this palace can't afford to worship you, this palace knows that His Majesty has already given you, free from the big gift, how dare this palace resist the decree!"
"Brother Huang, hurry up!"
After Zhang Yan's words were finished, Zhu Hao did not get up, but still knelt on the ground and said:
"The younger brother just offended Niangniang, he is a guilty person, and he doesn't dare to get up!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan shook her head and said:
"What the imperial brother said just now is not inappropriate, this palace can't blame you, besides, the imperial brother, I didn't know the identity of the palace just now, even if there is a mistake, it belongs to those who don't know and is not guilty, how can this palace be blamed!"
"Brother Huang, get up quickly, otherwise it will seem that this sister-in-law in this palace is too stingy!"
When Zhu Hao heard this, he stood up, and then bowed to Zhang Yan to apologize, and then Zhu Hao made a gesture of please:
"It's windy outside, please come in, and the younger brother should serve tea to make amends!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan shook her head and said:
"Forget about making amends, the royal brother didn't know the identity of the palace just now, and the purpose of the palace's trip has been achieved, the big tent will not enter the palace, and the palace will return to the palace now to report to His Majesty!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Yan's words, and combined with Zhang Yan's earth-shattering words just now, he instantly figured out what was going on, which made him secretly cry out that it was dangerous.
Zhu Hao knew that if it weren't for his lack of antipathy, if it weren't for Zhang Yan's lack of malice, I am afraid that since tonight, the Ming Empire will no longer have a place to stand.
