There is no wind today, the sky is clear, and there are no clouds. Sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Under the bamboo forest, there is a low table, two brocade piers, and a pair of men and women like golden boys and girls sit opposite each other. The young man dressed in purple, wearing a simple jade pendant on his waist, handsome appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a straight nose and thin lips is Zhang Ning. Dressed in a light yellow shirt, a plain white skirt embroidered with peonies, and a beautiful girl with very bright eyes, it is Youyou.

"I heard that Your Majesty specially asked you to be on duty for five days and take one day off?" With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations of you." ”

It turned out that the emperor asked me to work overtime, and I thought that Wang Zhen was planning to harm me in the palace. Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently, not feeling guilty at all for blaming Wang Zhen. Does the emperor look up to him? He pretended not to care, and quipped, "You're pretty well-informed." ”

Yoyo smiled slightly. With this smile, two small dimples appeared on his lips, and Zhang Ning's bones suddenly lightened. He loved these two charming dimples very much, and the reappearance at this time made him feel like he was back in the days when the two of them walked hand in hand on the campus.

"I heard that you offended the prince?" You picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in your mouth, chewed it slowly, and said softly.

Zhang Ning looked left and right, the maidservants were waiting in the distance, and he couldn't hear the two of them talking, so he said in a low voice: "I came to you this time for Wang Zhen." ”

On the way to be brought in by the old servant, he quietly put on a jade pendant, just to persuade Youyou to help. It's not that I'm worried about Youyou and him, but it's a big deal to bring down Wang Zhen, and Youyou is the daughter of King Zheng, so I have to think about it more.

Youyou originally felt that today's Zhang Ning was not as arrogant and unreliable as the previous few meetings, but as if he had changed as a person, he became polite and looked much more pleasing to the eye. But as soon as he spoke, it still didn't change.

He's still so arrogant.

"There are many people who want to deal with Wang Zhen, and you are not the only one." Her voice was lower, almost whispering: "Your Majesty has a blue eye for you, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, you just need to be your messenger in peace, and someone else will do it." ”

Is this for me to sit back and enjoy? It's a pity that the Empress Dowager didn't kill him when she was alive, and how could the Empress Dowager kill him with Zhu Qizhen's trust in him? If you don't do anything at this time, you can only wait for the tragedy of the Tumubao to happen again.

"Who's going to do it?" Zhang Ning scoffed.

Youyou lowered his head and muttered for a few breaths, and said: "The elders of the pavilion don't understand why the Empress Dowager always beats him, and they feel that although he is more extreme, he is okay on the big side." ”

That's the elders looking away. Zhang Ning slandered, how could he see it so thoroughly when he ignored it for a while? Was it the news she got in Beijing, or was it King Zheng's opinion? Although King Zheng was not in the capital, it was impossible not to pay attention to the situation in the capital.

"He is His Majesty's Mr. Enlightenment, who can control it?" Zhang Ning said.

Youyou frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't the brand set up by Taizu still there?" ”

Zhu Chongba once set up a sign that the internal servants were not allowed to interfere in politics, and there was no eunuch in power in this dynasty, which is also the reason why Youyou did not pay attention to it.

The sign cast by Taizu is there, the courtiers go in and out every day, and the chamberlains will see it whenever they leave the palace, who dares to disobey? Who dares to take the ancestors into law seriously?

"Hey, the people are gone, what's the use of just one brand?"

"Silence." Yoyo's face changed, and he warned solemnly: "You can just say this in front of me, but don't talk nonsense outside." ”

Zhang Ning's heart warmed slightly, and said, "You mean, our relationship is different?" ”

Although the marriage proposal was rejected, that was the meaning of the Empress Dowager, Zhang Ning would only think that in this evil old society, in the case of arranged marriage, his girlfriend could not make her own decisions.

This person is obviously talking about the right thing, but he is flirting with others in a frivolous tone. Yoyo glanced at him mockingly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

It looks more like a coquette. Zhang Ning smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can just watch it." I don't know how the Empress Dowager's body is? ”

"Why do you always say things that are forbidden? The jade body of the imperial grandmother was also passed down? Yoyo was speechless.

The physical condition of the core figures of the empire is indeed a top secret. Zhang Ning knew that he was speechless. He wanted to know how many days the Empress Dowager had and how much time he had to plan, so he didn't think deeply.

"I have something to ask you." Zhang Ning naturally changed the topic and said the purpose of today's visit: "Can you say a few words in front of the Empress Dowager at the right time?" ”

"What?" Youyou said, thinking that he was bold and reckless, but don't use himself to do nonsense, and added: "I don't have the ability to move him." ”

Who does not know his place in the emperor's heart? moved him to offend the emperor first.

"No, I want you to tell the Empress Dowager about his evil deeds at the right time." Zhang Ning looked at her sincerely and said, "How could I let you be in danger?" I won't let you say things against your will. What he did outside the palace, how could the Empress Dowager know everything? Needless to say, just say a few words that matter. ”

Both of them called Wang Zhen "he", although the maids stood far away, but the two were very cautious.

You are quite clever and want to borrow the hand of the Empress Dowager to get rid of him. The leisurely eyes stared at Zhang Ning for a breath, and bowed his head slightly: "Okay." ”

According to the truth, it doesn't hurt not to implicate Zheng Wangfu and not violate her conscience. She thought for a while, and said with a slight hesitation: "When Your Majesty was young, the first emperor died. His Majesty has treated him very differently over the years. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager won't be able to do too much. ”

The emperor's face is still very valuable, if he really cares about his face, how can he establish his majesty? If the emperor is not majestic, how can this son sit firmly, and how can the country be stable?

Is she reminding me that the Empress Dowager also has a last resort? Zhang Ning said: "I understand. Seeing that she was still staring at herself, she said again: "Understood." ”

It's good to understand. Youyou said: "My father wrote to say that Ling Zun personally wrote a letter to ask for your marriage, but he replied and refused. ”

It's not just a refusal, it's a great shame, and there is no need to tell him.

Zhang Ning received a reply from Daniel Zhang the day before yesterday, and mentioned the matter of asking for relatives very proudly, but did not expect that King Zheng had already refused. It seems that King Zheng and the capital have a special communication channel, which is faster than the military's communication. He thought for a moment and said, "King Zheng agreed, but the Empress Dowager refused to agree, so it's useless, right?" ”

"Yes." Yoyo said calmly.

Since she arrived in the capital and was named the county lord, she was deeply favored by the queen mother, and her marriage was not decided by her father.

Zhang Ning estimated that a quarter of an hour was coming, and when he mentioned it now, his heart was crossed, and he simply said: "Yoyo, if you can call the shots, will you agree?" ”

The nickname came out of his mouth so naturally, which made Yoyo have a very special feeling, both a little shy and a little happy.
