Queen Chen came to the back of the main hall of the Rouyi Palace, but was stopped by the eunuch Hou Xian. Hou Xian said: "The queen is slow, the emperor is inside, discussing military affairs with Chen Jikuo's envoy. You wait first, and we'll go in and report later. ”

Chen knew a few days ago that Chen Jikuo had sent a messenger again; But she just learned that Zhu Gaoxu was in the Rouyi Palace, so she rushed over.

"There is Father-in-law." Chen said kindly.

As soon as the words ended, a voice came from inside the palace. The voice was so selfless that it could be heard even outside the temple door. Hou Xian, who was still talking about discussing military affairs just now, suddenly showed embarrassment. Chen looked at him, her face changed, and she was suddenly upset. Of course she knew what was going on, but it wasn't easy for the so-called "Zhengen" to be in such a situation the first time; Chen Jikuo's envoy is a beauty plan, and the woman sent to the palace certainly doesn't dare not be innocent.

"That...... The custom on the Jiaozhi side seems to be different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and the woman is used as a messenger. Hou Xian said embarrassedly.

Chen didn't reply, she was a little distracted as she stood on the brick floor. She inadvertently thought about the feeling of the "righteous envoy" inside, and couldn't help but think of the first time she saw Zhu Gaoxu in the manor on the outskirts of Thang Long City.

She still remembered the smell of Zhu Gaoxu at that time, he had just turned off the horse, and his body exuded a smell mixed with sweat; The handkerchief that Zhu Gaoxu handed her, and later she covered her nose and sniffed it vigorously, and it smelled the same thing. No wonder she remembers it so much.

Chen's brows furrowed, and he gradually showed an annoyed and troubled expression.

After waiting for a long time, the door of the temple opened. Seeing this, Hou Xian hugged his fists and said, "Let's go and report it." ”

When Hou Xian walked to the entrance of the hall, he saw a woman wearing a Taoist robe, a little flustered, walking out of it, her robe was a little wrinkled and messy. She held a book in her hand, deliberately placed it in a position under her robe, as if to hide some stains. The woman's hat was also slightly crooked, and as she walked, she was reaching out to stroke the sideburns that were a little messy under her hat.

The female Dao's face was very red, and she walked out quickly. As she passed by Chen, Nudao slowed down and fixed her gaze on Chen's face. The female Taoist seems to have seen that the Chen family is from Annam!

Because the robe worn by the Chen family is still very different from the clothes of the Han women in the Ming Dynasty in terms of cutting.

Chen also responded to the female Dao's gaze, staring at her with unkind eyes.

At this time, the female Taoist observed the Chen family for a while, and said in Annan dialect: "Since the queen is tempted by the emperor, why don't you stay in the Daming Palace with me?" ”

"You think anyone is as shameless as you?" Chen couldn't help but express the unhappiness in his heart, and stared at the position she deliberately concealed with ill intentions.

The woman didn't get angry, but she smiled and left quickly.

Chen turned his head to look at her, and the fire in his heart had nowhere to go, so he had to take a deep breath and endure it. She said in her heart: This woman's insight is not simple, and she guessed in an instant that I am the queen of Annam; But what did she say, and where did she see it?

After a while, the eunuch Hou Xian came back, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The queen is please." ”

Chen walked into the temple gate and saw Zhu Gaoxu sitting on a chair as if nothing had happened.

"Holy Lord, how does Chen Jikuo's beauty plan taste?" Chen asked with a sneer. She subconsciously puffed up her chest, far more plump than the woman just now.

Zhu Gaoxu's face seemed to be very thick, and he said with a calm look: "Generally, I don't have a lot of fun." But basing one's own happiness on the suffering of others is not what I want. ”

As he spoke, his fingers tapping slowly on the armrest, looking thoughtful. He seemed to be thinking about a deep problem.

Only then did Chen calm down and realize that his tone was not good just now. Thinking of their mother and son, they could only rely on Zhu Gaoxu, who had become an emperor and held great power, Chen hurriedly put away the injustice in his heart, and patiently bowed his knees and said: "The concubine visits the saint, and if it is rude, please surrender to the saint." ”

Her attitude changed very quickly, almost abruptly.

Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu also felt it, and immediately looked at Chen.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, the queen, I said that I would make Chen Zhengyuan the king, and then I wouldn't change easily." Not only because I am a man of promises, but also because this is not a personal matter. Major events often have no emotions at all, and it is even more difficult to rely on personal joys, sorrows, and uncertainties. ”

"Thank you for your great kindness, and the concubines dare not forget." Chen still said politely.

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Chen asked cautiously again: "That female Dao must be Chen Jikuo's henchman, who came with a mission. The saint is unwilling to canonize Chen Jikuo, and will it be inappropriate to keep her in the palace again? ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and said calmly: "Chen Jikuo is a puppet, as long as he goes to the emperor's name, he is not a troublesome character. If your prince wants to be a king, the key is to appease the warlords under Chen Jikuo; Coupled with the Ming garrison as the backing, Chen Zhengyuan's throne can be secured. ”

When Chen heard this, he immediately felt a little relieved, and he had a sense of dependence and trust in Zhu Gaoxu.

She sighed softly, how much he hoped that his son would also be a person like Zhu Gaoxu! Martial arts cover the world, you can defeat the political enemy with a small number of people, and you can control it with wisdom and stabilize your position. That way, she won't have to be terrified and displaced all day long.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Zhu Gaoxu staring at her chest that had just been erected. His eyes were hot and seemed penetrating, looking through her clothes, speculating on the shapes and gestures of things, and speculating on her thoughts.

The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they were understanding each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu's calm tone just now was no longer there, and suddenly became gentle: "Before I saw you, I often thought about it; When I see you, I feel that I really live up to my name. You are really beautiful, your face is beautiful and vaguely exotic, and your figure is also plump and graceful. No wonder Chen Xingwang didn't even care about his life for you. ”

When Chen heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice, he was not only full of gentle praise, but also with irrepressible excitement; She was suddenly happy. Maybe women also have the desire to conquer, and seeing the most powerful man in the world and being tempted by her, Chen's heart is very happy!

Her face flushed slightly, but her heart soon became messy again.

She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down...... What Chen wants is to return to Annan and let his own son get what he deserves! She knew she couldn't commit to Zhu Gaoxu. Not only because of her inconvenient identity, but also because she had a hunch that once she had a skin-to-skin blind date, she was afraid that she would fall into it!

Chen knew in her heart that she was already a little addicted to Zhu Gaoxu's breath and strength. If he accepts the contents of his body without reservation, and tastes the pleasure of intimacy; At that time, she had to leave thousands of miles away by herself, I am afraid that it will be very painful, and she may not be able to make a decision at that time!

She glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and her tone suddenly became cold: "Isn't it because of a big event that the Holy Lord helped our mother and son?" What is the difference between being beautiful and not being beautiful? ”

Zhu Gaoxu observed her expression. After a while, he nodded and said, "The queen is right, even if the queen is not beautiful, my consideration and decision-making for the Cochin region will not change. I will not force you, I also hope that in the future, the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of our two countries can be harmonious and peaceful, and the world will last forever; How can the queen not treat you with courtesy during her stay in Beijing? ”

Chen said: "Thank you for your courtesy. ”

Her breathing was even more uneven, and somehow she felt that Zhu Gaoxu's words and deeds were very good. He is not a pure-hearted person who does not understand amorous feelings, but he has the arrogance of an aristocratic demeanor; Once he realized that the woman had no intention, he very skillfully found the steps to go down without a trace, and respected the woman's wishes.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu patted the arm of the chair, and the person stood up vigorously. He walked down, and when he came to Chen, he said, "I still have official business, so I have to go back to the royal gate first." I hope the queen is still used to living in the Daming Palace. ”

Chen gently clenched his fists in his abdomen, and bowed his knees and said, "The concubine respectfully sends the saint." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to give up, he took advantage of the politeness, reached out and gently touched Chen's hand, and lifted it slightly: "The queen is exempt." ”

Chen subconsciously already trusted Zhu Gaoxu very much, she acquiesced to his frivolity, believing that he would not go against her will. So Chen didn't withdraw her hand, her face was a little hot, and she pretended not to feel the physical contact.

Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "I will not force you to stay, nor will it affect Chen Zhengyuan's throne." But what happened in this house, outsiders will not know. ”

He really wanted to lure Chen into making mistakes!

Chen lowered his head, bit his teeth, and finally said ruthlessly: "The saint is working state affairs, and the concubines dare not keep it, so send the saint!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu let go of his hand after hearing this, sighed and said, "There will be a period later." ”

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the retreat hall, but Chen still faced inside, maintaining a curtcy posture, motionless for a long time, she didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Only then did she stand up straight, frown, and hurried to her north quarters.

When Chan returned to her dormitory, she rummaged through a pair of closets for obscene clothes. When she took her clothes out, she frowned and said to the palace maid in front of the palace gate: "You go to the kitchen to boil some hot water, I want to bathe and change clothes." ”

The palace maid immediately squatted slightly, "The slave and maid obey the order, please wait for the queen." ”

Chen's body softened, and he sat down on a collapse, and sat there waiting for the bath water. She exhaled a long breath from her chest, sat for a moment, then lay on her side again, her head in her hands, her eyes staring blankly at a pair of shoes on the floor. But she didn't know it was a pair of cloth shoes, because her eyes were very blank, as if she were looking at something, as if she was looking at everything.
