Zhu Zhijie was dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do. Obviously, the words of the two concubines are already mixed with old things in the palace that I don't know how much, and everything is hairy in my ears when I hear it. When she heard the princess say this, she hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said, "Rong ...... Let me come back another day to visit the two concubines. After saying that, he hurriedly stood up and walked out.

The princess didn't wait for the concubines to open their mouths, quickly bowed, and helped Zhu Zhijie to walk outside the hall.

Unexpectedly, the voices of the two came again:

"Remember, if you want to live long, don't have children!"

"That's right, my sister is right!"

"You're older than me, why do you call me sister?"

"Because you look ...... older than me"

Zhu Zhijie's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't care about the two of them talking nonsense behind her. The prince said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these two concubines are very old......

Zhu Zhijie hurriedly gestured, signaling that he didn't have to say any more.

"I know, the concubines may be afraid that I will be restrained when we meet for the first time today, and I can't remember those words anymore if I take some naughty jokes, and you don't have to mention them again."

The prince hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is a smart lord, so you don't need to say anything about the old slave." ”

Back in Zhaohua Palace, Zhu Zhijie settled down, and before she could sit down, Li Chongyan had already stepped into the hall.

"Where have you gone, that I may be found in the garden."

"I went to meet the concubines and do a junior salute."

"Concubine? How did you remember to meet them? Li Chongyan said strangely.

"The concubines are moving to the back mountain for us, I can't bear it, and I should talk and make amends."

"Hmm...... It's true in principle, but those old ladies talk upside down, and I hide from them on weekdays, but fortunately, they don't come out often, so you get up. ”

"Why do you say that, they are also elders." Zhu Zhijie persuaded softly: "I am an elder who has not had an imperial grandfather and grandmother since I was a child, and I am still avoiding me. You should be fortunate to have these elders who love you. ”

"I haven't seen my imperial grandfather and grandmother, except for the concubine you said, there are only my aunts and grandmothers left."

"Auntie, grandmother?"

"Oh, it's my imperial grandmother's sister, Li Taijun of the Taishi Mansion."

Zhu Zhijie suddenly remembered that her aunt Zhu Yuxiao had warned her before leaving that Li Taijun was a character who was not easy to mess with, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Chongyan saw her distracted, thinking that she didn't understand this generation, and said: "There are two sisters, the elder sister gave birth to my father, and the younger sister gave birth to Mu Yunyou and Mu Yunzuo, the twin sons of the Taishi. Li Taijun, I mentioned it to you before. When I was a child, I always went to her house to play, she loved me, my favorite is this aunt and grandmother, I'll take you to meet her another day, okay? ”

"Oh, it's Li Taijun who you plucked out half of her garden's herbs?" Zhu Zhijie suddenly remembered an anecdote in "The Prince from Evil".

"Huh, how do you know?" Li Chongyan was surprised, and suddenly came to his senses: "It must be your aunt, Princess Yinquan, who sued her, right?" ”

"You're so notorious, do you still need someone to sue?" Zhu Zhijie chuckled.

"Since they're all notorious, what ...... Don't you care about any more evil? Li Chongyan also smiled evilly.

He looked at Zhu Zhijie's green silk around his neck, his lips slightly opened, and he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and suddenly smelled a burst of breath, and his heart became more and more rippling.

"What are you going to do?"

"This prince suddenly has a bad heart, what do you say this prince is going to do?" Li Chongyan whispered.

After the wedding, when the two were like glue and inseparable, Li Chongyan flirted like this, and Zhu Zhijie was a little happy in her heart. But in front of a group of slaves and maids in the hall, she was really ashamed, she was busy straightening her mind, and asked seriously: "Tell me why my father is looking for you first?" ”

Li Chongyan suddenly lost his interest when he said this, turned around and found a chair to sit down.

"Alas, my father ordered me to stay in Jingzhou for a few days."

"Why so suddenly?"

"My father said that as the crown prince, I should learn how to manage government affairs and regent affairs."

"This is as it should be, my eldest sister became a prisoner of the country very early and handled the government affairs for my mother emperor. But why go to Jingzhou? ”

"My father said that this Jingzhou is a bitter place, and he asked me to hide the identity of the prince and go to serve as the county commander under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, he said that only in this way can I know the people's sufferings and gain some experience."

"My father is really well-intentioned...... So how long is he going to go? ”

"Two months, even though it's only two months, can ...... But I don't want to be separated from you. Li Chongyan cried with a sad face, completely ignoring the slaves and maids around him, and listened carefully with their ears pricked up.

Zhu Zhijie was really angry and funny when she saw this, and first said loudly: "You all go down." When only the two of them were left in the hall, he comforted them:

"Two months, such a long time, how can I want to be separated from you. It's just that you are the prince, and everything should be based on state affairs. Since my father has such a plan, he naturally has his reasons, and you must follow it well. ”

"I know, I know the truth. Can...... But just a few days after I got married to you, I asked my father if he could take you with him, and he said no. Ordinary county officials can't take their wives with them when they take office? Why can't I be the crown prince? ”

Zhu Zhijie was greatly moved when she heard this: "Husband, you can think of walking with me, this is enough, since my father wants you to concentrate on training, then how can I go to Jingzhou with you to share your heart?" I just hope that you will work hard in the past two months, so that your father and the Manchu Dynasty will be impressed by you. ”

Li Chongyan has been in the palace for a long time, and he is very clever about people's feelings, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Impressed?" Do you also think that I used to be the kind of prince who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it? ”

Zhu Zhijie really knows her husband, if you want to say that Wen Taowu is not compatible, when it comes to squirrel, she also has some habits. But as the only prince, he must have been pampered and raised since he was a child, and this is the same for everyone, and it is not his fault.

"I don't care what kind of prince you are, I just care if I can stay with you."

Li Chongyan changed back to a smiling face, he knew Zhu Zhijie's thoughts. The world said that he fell in love with her beauty, although he was indeed moved by her alluring appearance when he first met, but he loved her heart as pure as a mirror. With her by her side, I will feel very peaceful, like a boat entering the harbor, and everything is calm.

"Fortunately, in the past two months, I can't come back, my father allows me to take three days off a month and come back once."

"That's fine, I'll be sure to prepare your favorite dishes first, and wait for you to come back."

Li Chongyan nodded.

If in the past, if his father wanted to force him to do something, he didn't want to, he just had to play a scoundrel for a few days. If he doesn't do it, his father will not take him.

But this time, he felt that his father was a little different.

A year ago, before he sent to Bihai, he complained to his father about Mu Yun's domineering and autocratic power in the Evergreen Palace. A year later, his father suddenly brought up the old story, which was really unexpected.

Just now in the Evergreen Palace, my father asked himself, at that time he said that the Mu Yun clan was controlling the court, but the Mu Yun clan was indeed talented. Now that the Mu Yun clan is weak, and there is no one in the court, then as the crown prince, can he be able to take over the burden that the Taishi Mansion undertook in the past?

At that moment, I was speechless.

Suppressing the other party does not make you stronger, if you are a mediocre talent and become a mediocre monarch in the future, it really has nothing to do with the Mu Yun clan. At that time, how will Cangwu Kingdom gain a foothold in the world?

The father is so serious, Li Chongyan will not fail to understand his father's intentions. So this time, he didn't play a scoundrel and didn't have any bargaining. For the sake of the Li family, even if he wants to leave his beloved woman temporarily and stay in a poor and remote place for a while, he is willing. What's more, with his father here, he will definitely take care of the crown princess, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Princess, you're going to take it, right?" Zhu Zhijie asked.

"Well, he'll also disguise himself as my housekeeper."

"That's good, with the prince here, I'm relieved."

* * * * * *

In the South China Sea, the clouds roll up and the waves are rolling.

The huge Kuntou ship slowly sailed towards Nanhua Island, the first time in more than a decade that the Governor's Office of Southern Xinjiang had been so close to the gold-laden island. Only then did the people on the island remember that this Nanhua Island was still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Office.

Liu Mingyan actually didn't deliberately want to come to Nanhua Island to show her new identity as the king of Lijun, and although she knew about the smuggling of gold ingots on Nanhua Island, she didn't mean to startle the snake. She took the Kuntou ship because she received an urgent report from the sea cruiser battalion, and found an unknown fleet in the southern seas, not only suspicious, but also quite numerous, but soon disappeared without a trace, and could not be found again.

Coastal defense in southern Xinjiang is a matter of the highest priority and should not be taken lightly. Liu Mingyan has been fighting with red-haired pirates for many years, and her intuition tells her that the origin of this fleet is not small. So she decisively boarded the Kuntou ship and personally pursued this mysterious fleet.

But as soon as the ship arrived near Nanhua Island, the prefect of Cheongju sent someone on the island to invite her to the island to talk, saying that there was a secret message from Taiye City.

Taiye City?

Liu Mingyan snorted coldly, the gold ingot she sent to Fuxingtai must have been received by Zhu Zhiling. This so-called secret decree is probably her reply.

She knows Zhu Zhiling's ability very well, she doesn't know and doesn't want to know what the purpose of smuggling gold ingots is, but Zhao Wuyun on the pillow wants to be the second Lu Wenchi. But since you want to get under your nose, it's nothing to get a piece of the pie.

Since his accession to the throne, Zhu Yutang, the third generation of Ming Emperor, has always thought that the world is peaceful, emphasizing agriculture and commerce and ignoring military defense, and the military expenditure of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion has always been reduced again and again.

Therefore, taking advantage of this great opportunity, being able to be entangled with Zhu Zhiling's veins will be prosperous, and when she will take the throne in the future, it will also be a good plan for the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion to take precautions.

are all descendants of the Zhu family, if it comes to scheming, who is inferior to whom?

Liu Mingyan chuckled to herself, rode her snow-white "Jade Linglong", stepped on the gangway laid down from the huge deck, and stepped ashore steadily.
