Xu Changqing was in a good mood, and was preparing to 'six out of eight', and had a good chat with Dong Xiaowan in the evening, talking about life, and talking about ideals, but he didn't expect Queen Zhou to invite him to dinner.

If you are an ordinary person and are invited to dinner by the queen's mother, you must definitely bathe and change your clothes, pray to God and worship Buddha, and thank the eight generations of ancestors for their luck.

But Xu Changqing is not an ordinary person.

To be honest, Xu Changqing is quite cautious about contacting the Heavenly Family now, even with Zhu Yujiao.

There is an old saying: "When the tide recedes, you know who doesn't wear the bottom. Pants. ”

At this juncture, many things are about to be exposed, and Xu Changqing can't help but be cautious!

But Queen Zhou has already released this 'goodwill', which can be regarded as goodwill for the time being, and Xu Changqing is not easy to refuse......

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Changqing personally went over to reply to Gonggong Zheng and went to the appointment on time in the evening, but as for Dong Xiaowan's side, he could only push it back.

In the afternoon, a regular meeting was held in the Political Affairs Bureau, and a deeper understanding of the current situation in Xiahai City was obtained, and in the evening, Xu Changqing came to the new official hall on time.

However, unlike what Xu Changqing thought, this was not a large-scale family banquet, and there were no people, even Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were not there.

Xu Changqing came to the courtyard with some doubts, and suddenly found that Queen Zhou was wearing an apron and was stir-frying in the kitchen herself.

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, she smiled sweetly like a girl: "Uncle Zhongyi, you are here." Wait a while, I'll stir-fry a few more side dishes, and it will be ready in no time. ”

"It's ......"

Xu Changqing couldn't touch Queen Zhou's mind for a while.

But even if you think about Xu Changqing with your ass, you can understand that this is definitely not 'Peach Blossom Luck', and it may be a bit too much to say that the 'Hongmen Banquet', but you must not be unguarded.

Ignoring Queen Zhou's side, Xu Changqing came to the living room, sat on the sofa, looked around carefully, and did not miss a detail.

At this time, the defense of the new official hall is completely controlled by Xu Changqing's pro-military camp, and it is difficult for Queen Zhou to do anything yin.

Not to mention, Xu Changqing's strong physique is not very afraid of poison.

Soon Xu Changqing found that he seemed to be a little worried, and there were only Queen Zhou and an old palace maid who was very confidant of her in this courtyard.

As the old palace maid continued to bring a few side dishes that were not too good-looking, and the wine was well purchased, it was completely like a family banquet.

After a while, the old palace maid brought a plate of cold mutton and a plate of sauced beef, and then turned around and brought a large plate of crispy fish.

These hard dishes were obviously not made by Queen Zhou herself, but bought ready-made, as if she was afraid that the portion would not be enough, and Xu Changqing would not be able to eat enough.

Just as Xu Changqing was stunned, Queen Zhou had already walked up with a pot of steaming fish soup and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyi, let me make you laugh, I haven't cooked for many years, and today I suddenly had itchy hands and made a few small dishes from my hometown." ”

With that, Ying Ying sat opposite Xu Changqing.

The old palace maid also went out immediately and closed the door.

"The queen mother is so loved, she actually cooks herself, and Changqing is flattered."

Although there was no one around, Xu Changqing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest before figuring out Queen Zhou's purpose.

In later generations, Jin Da borrowed the mouth of Zhang Wuji's mother-in-law Yin Susu and said a wise saying that is enough to be passed down through the ages: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people!" ”

Throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have capsized in this inconspicuous little gutter?

After a few words of greeting, seeing that Xu Changqing was so rigid and obviously full of caution, Queen Zhou was a little aggrieved, and pouted like a girl, "Uncle Zhongyi, are you so jealous of this palace?" Hongu has always wanted to find a chance to thank you, but he has never had a chance. Today, I finally took advantage of the fact that they all went to the Haicheng Hotel to participate in the cocktail party, and you are still ......"

As she spoke, tears began to roll in her eyes.

Xu Changqing looked at Queen Zhou carefully, and found that it didn't seem to be a fake, so he relaxed slightly, and couldn't help but think of the slightly ambiguous scenes with Queen Zhou when he came before, and he was a little fluttery for a while, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, when it comes to this, Changqing is ashamed." Changqing actually wanted to have a good chat with the queen mother for a long time, but unfortunately, there are many people and many things......"

"That's not the end of it."

Queen Zhou suddenly sneered, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "Come, Uncle Zhongyi, try the craftsmanship of this palace." ”

As she spoke, she took the lead in eating, testing the poison and tasting every dish.

Xu Changqing was obviously not afraid of poisoning the food, and he also smiled and ate it.

After a while, after eating a lot of dishes and drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere between the two relaxed slightly, and Queen Zhou finally said her purpose, "What reward does Xu Changqing want." ’

After all, this is the most central thing at this time.

Figuring out Queen Zhou's purpose, Xu Changqing also smiled: "Thunder and rain are all Jun's grace." Queen Mother, you have embarrassed Changqing. ”

Maybe it was because of the relationship of drinking some wine, Queen Zhou 'poofed' and smiled, "Uncle Zhongyi, how much you pay to Daming, others may not be able to see it, but this palace can see it clearly." In the battle of the Forbidden City that day, it was you who sacrificed your life and forgot your death to save our orphans and widows. This kindness will be remembered by this palace for the rest of his life. Moreover, Uncle Zhongyi, this palace has always thought that we can't be affected by many affairs, and if we can be sincere, we should be sincere. ”

Looking at Queen Zhou's delicate appearance, there is no longer the dignity of weekdays, Xu Changqing also sighed for a while, this woman is really okay.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The queen is very loving, and the evergreen will be big." Queen Mother, in fact, Changqing has always been thinking about guarding the country for the Ming Dynasty, driving out the Tartars, and restoring the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. I don't dare to look at the ancestors, but I also want to do my best for my Daming. After escorting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the throne, the minister Xu Changqing is willing to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty forever! ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Uncle Zhongyi, what, you, don't you go to Nanjing? That, that palace and the prince orphans and widows......"

At this time, Queen Zhou was stunned.

She had thought about thousands of thoughts before, but she didn't expect that Xu Changqing didn't want to go to Nanjing?

What is this operation?

Xu Changqing picked up the wine glass, signaled to Queen Zhou, and said with a drink: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the orthodoxy of my Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, although they are a little close, but after all, they are still my Ming courtiers, and the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do not need to worry." At that time, if the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince are in need, I will be a model army, and I can send a part of the officers to help the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince train a part of the Royal Forest Army. ”

"This ......"

Queen Zhou really didn't expect that Xu Changqing would have this kind of awareness, and for a while, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Looking at her pretty face, Xu Changqing sighed slightly in his heart, and suddenly found that coming over this time was not a bad thing.

In fact, in his thoughts a long time ago, Xu Changqing went to Nanjing, and even washed Nanjing in blood, and reopened the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

However, the matter of Dingwang Zhu Cijiong also sounded a wake-up call for Xu Changqing.

If you do, you're going to have chaos!

Although the military aspect is not a big problem, the political aspect is certainly embarrassing.

Because Xu Changqing has no system among Wenchen.

Although Xu Changqing has been working very hard in this aspect, it is far from an overnight effort.

Instead of taking this risk, it is better to let Empress Zhou and Zhu Cijiong toss themselves.

The party struggle of the Ming Dynasty has long been engraved into the deepest part of the bone marrow of this dynasty.

Let's not talk about the rest, just now, whether it is Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, or Huang Shu, who is still sticking to Kaifeng, including Shi Kefa, and even Qian Qianyi, who has retired for more than ten years, including Hou Sui and others, they are all big mountains.

At this time, Xu Changqing had already grasped very accurate information, in Nanjing, Ruan Dacheng was jumping very happily, and Ma Shiying was already gearing up.

Coupled with the Wei Mansion and many other Nanjing left-behind nobles, it is definitely a big drama.

You don't have to do anything, the cabinet and the six ministries are out.

Instead of fighting in person and getting the title of a target for all people, how can you watch the fire from the other side and slowly control all this?

After all, if Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong hadn't experienced that kind of twists and turns, how could they understand the value of peace?

"Uncle Zhongyi's fist is bare-hearted, this palace is really ......"

At this time, Queen Zhou also wanted to understand how powerful it was, and tears welled up again.

Looking at her lovely appearance, Xu Changqing suddenly had some irrepressible impulses, at this time, it was definitely an excellent opportunity......

In the end, though, calmness triumphed over impulse.

This thing looks delicious and exciting, but it is definitely a poison that pierces the intestines......

……

A dinner can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, Xu Changqing and Queen Zhou both felt their respective demands, and at the same time found a combination of interests.

At this time, it was already raining outside, and Queen Zhou sent Xu Changqing outside the door with a slight resentment: "Zhongyi Uncle, I hope that our Zhu and Xu families can be like ancestors, sharing hardships and prosperity!" ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Borrowing the auspicious words of the queen's mother, the minister Xu Changqing will never give up!" ”

Looking at Xu Changqing, he was about to stride into the rain.

"Huh? Loyalty, righteousness, and slowness. ”

Queen Zhou hesitated, but still shouted.

"What other instructions does the Queen have for you?"

Xu Changqing didn't dare to stay here any longer at this time, tonight, the conditions in all aspects are really too perfect, Xu Changqing's own concentration in this regard is not very good, and he really doesn't want to linger in danger anymore......

Queen Zhou suddenly lowered her head, her pretty face was a little red, in this quiet rainy night, through the surrounding firelight, it made her more mysterious and charming.

However, Queen Zhou didn't speak for a while, obviously entangled.

Xu Changqing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Really.

After a moment, Queen Zhou raised her head faintly, looked into Xu Changqing's eyes and said, "Over there in the Lotus Garden, you, what are you going to arrange?" ”

“……”

Although Xu Changqing had known for a long time that it was difficult to hide this matter from Queen Zhou, she didn't expect that she would find out so quickly......

But it's a relief to think about.

Empress Zhou is the master of the harem, even though she is in exile at this time, she wants to see Yuan Guifei, and Yuan Guifei has no reason to refuse at all.

And she has lived in the palace for more than ten years, Tian Guifei is not her opponent, how can she not see the changes in Yuan Guifei?

In particular, Yuan Guifei's early pregnancy reaction was a little serious......

"The queen, the minister, the minister doesn't quite understand what you mean? Lotus Garden, do you mean Yuan Guifei? How? Isn't the concubine's body still well? The minister immediately sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor......"

Although it is very embarrassing, at this time, it must not be easily admitted, Xu Changqing can only be cheeky and not understand.

Queen Zhou didn't speak, but her tears fell, and she whimpered.

"Queen Mother, you are ......"

Xu Changqing was also a little speechless, what kind of routine is crying if you don't agree with this word?

Queen Zhou cried even more sadly, but she was silent.

A few minutes later, Xu Changqing was a little helpless.

Even if you are not afraid of being seen by others, the guards around you are all your own people, but Queen Zhou is doing this, who can stand it?
