After Bai Fangrui's body recovered a little, she left Xuyi and went to Jinan, but there were a few more people around her, the personal palace maid Cuihe sent by the queen mother, the personal palace maid Xiangyun sent by the queen, and the eunuch Yin Fang sent by the emperor, these people all brought some people over, and they didn't arrive together, Cuihe arrived first, followed by Xiangyun, and then the emperor, Bai Fangrui saw these people, and felt a little uncomfortable, but at the same time let go of some worries. She let the two palace maids wait outside, still waiting with green willows around her, Yin Fang was in charge of all the guards, and Dong Wugu and Xie Sanniang were in charge of her personal safety. These people all received the order, which made Bai Fangrui's heart feel a little calm.

When he arrived in Jinan, Yin Fang arranged everyone in a manor on the shore of Daming Lake, with more than 500 guards and attachés, so some people were also arranged to live outside. Sheng Yong, the commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, was ordered to increase the number of sentry posts nearby, although he did not know who lived in the manor.

Bai Fangrui was quietly resting on the fetus, and at the same time inspecting the situation in Jinan, to set up a textile workshop in Jinan, and its strong financial resources burst out, which immediately caused a shock in Jinan's textile market......

Although Bai Fangrui has extraordinary knowledge, it is a pity that she was born in a merchant and is rich, but she does not know the real court. If she was from a family of eunuchs, it would be impossible for her to do so, and she would not even dare to think about it. Although she was smart, she didn't understand what it meant for a concubine to walk outside, and she didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was doing behind her.

Maybe it's because of the memory of later generations, Zhu Yunwen admires Bai Fangrui's independent and free character, when she suddenly left, although he was sad, but he was unwilling to force her, maybe he hadn't learned to use power to force people, I hope that the person he loves can also be willing, if not, he would rather give up.

However, he still made a final effort, wrote a holy decree to canonize her as a concubine, and wrote a handwritten letter, which attached the "Partridge Heaven" by Nalan Xingde in the later generation, expressing his thoughts and hoping that she would change her mind, although he knew that it was unlikely.

After Liu Zhen left, he immediately went to Ma Hui for help, but when he finished speaking, Ma Hui was contrary to his usual grace and generosity, and was furious: "Your Majesty, Bai Fangrui is obviously pampered and arrogant, but you are so indulgent to her, where is the queen of the concubine?" Where is the ancestral ritual law? A concubine is not in the palace and walks in the rivers and lakes, how to ensure her chastity? How to ensure the purity of the royal blood? Also, if she is pregnant, will she let the royal blood flow outside? ”

Ma Hui's angry accusations and a series of questions made Zhu Yunwen find that he was a little Meng Lang, the queen's questioning is not unreasonable, a young woman walks the rivers and lakes, what if she meets someone she likes? In later generations, it will be called cheating, what is it called now? It seems that she does not keep women's morals. Although he believed in Bai Fangrui's feelings for him, who knew what would happen in the future? If there is such a concern, then how can the child's pedigree be guaranteed? Now I can't do genetic testing, can I recognize relatives by blood?

But since it has been done, I have to continue walking, Zhu Yunwen cheekily took Ma Hui's hand and said: "Liu'er, you and Rui'er are good sisters, she doesn't want to enter the palace, and I can't bear her, can't you help?" ”

"These are two different things," Ma Huimeng withdrew his hand and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine and Sister Bai are indeed sisters, just like sisters, but the concubine, as the queen of the Ming Dynasty, has to think about the dignity of the royal family and the future generations of the Ming Dynasty." Once there is a scandal in the royal family, how can the concubines face the ancestors and the queen mother? ”

"But, but," Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to do, he went to pull Ma Hui to get up, but Ma Hui couldn't get up on his knees. In the end, Zhu Yunwen also knelt in front of Ma Hui, Ma Hui was shocked and hurriedly wanted to pull him up, but he couldn't pull him up.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma Hui with tears in her eyes, and said: "Liu'er, I really can't let go of Rui'er, but she doesn't want to enter the palace, so far, can you help me?" ”

Ma Hui looked at Zhu Yunwen's appearance, both sad and painful, and couldn't help crying: "Your Majesty, are you trying to force your concubine to death?" What can a concubine do? ”

Finally, looking at Zhu Yunwen's pitiful appearance, Ma Hui softened her heart and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines can agree to this matter, but Sister Bai must have my people by her side, I want to know all her circumstances, and there can be no scandals, this is my bottom line." ”

"Okay, I agree, but the people you send must listen to Rui'er and don't bully Rui'er."

"Alas, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this, the concubines have their own proportions."

After settling the queen, Zhu Yunwen went to find the queen mother Lu again, but after the queen mother heard it, she was even more tempered than the queen, and sternly refused, and wanted to arrest Bai Fangrui back, and if she resisted, she would be executed immediately.

Zhu Yunwen was shocked, hugged his mother's leg and begged bitterly, and knelt outside the Yongshou Palace for half the night before the Queen Mother agreed, but the conditions were the same as the queen, and someone should be sent to monitor her.

In fact, the Queen Mother was moved by the Empress's words, and the Empress told the Emperor what the Emperor had done with her as it was, and then begged the Empress Dowager to agree to the Emperor's request. After hearing this, Lu Shi couldn't help but be discouraged, pulled the queen, stroked her hand, and said: "This unconscious thing, still kneeling outside, this palace really doesn't understand, this Bai Fangrui really has such a great charm?" I've seen people, but they're not as beautiful as Liu'er. ”

"Hehe," Ma Hui smiled bitterly, "Maybe the emperor likes her kind of character." Now that the emperor has been kneeling outside for half the night, it will not be good if it is rumored to be outside the palace, which will damage the emperor's reputation. ”

"And I think Sister Bai is also a chaste and self-guarded person, as long as more people are arranged around her, there will be no accidents."

"In other words, if anything happens, it will be dealt with according to the palace rules."

The queen mother's body was shocked, she looked carefully at the queen with a calm expression, sighed slightly in her heart, and agreed.

In the end, the emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager reached an agreement, and they all sent people to Bai Fangrui's side to serve Concubine Shu while also being responsible for monitoring Concubine Shu.

After knowing that Bai Fangrui was pregnant with the dragon seed, the queen and the queen mother regretted it a little, but in the end they decided to send more manpower, and secretly ordered Sheng Yong to secretly protect the commander of Shandong.

Although this matter passed relatively satisfactorily, it is a pity that the three parties did not really understand the stakes. The Lu family was promoted from the crown princess to the queen mother, she was not clear about many things in the palace, she had never been a queen, she had never managed the palace concubine, and Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines were already by his side, and the Lu family was in an embarrassing situation where there was no one to teach and no opportunity to actually practice, so she agreed to Zhu Yunwen's approach.

Anything, if the inheritance is broken, it will take a very high price to get it back. Because of the Lu family, Ma Hui's road to queen is getting longer and longer.

And Zhu Yunwen, although he has the insight of later generations and knows the direction of historical development, but this also affects his views on certain things, he will take some things very seriously, such as the threat of King Yan, and will also take many things very lightly, such as the character of the literati, persistence and pedantry, and the anxiety about the country and the nation.

In short, the three most honorable people of the Ming Dynasty have too much to learn, of course, provided that when the storm in the north passes, they still have the opportunity to practice.
