Chapter Forty-Eight: Concubine Ning

Sun Yunqi half-got up, brushed his hair with his hand, looked at Zhu Ao and said with a smile: "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, has the prince forgotten, when we got married, who was the messenger?" ”

Zhu Ao's eyes lit up, and he didn't care to appreciate his beloved wife's delicate body, and said in surprise: "You mean Wuding Hou?" "Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, like Geng Bingwen, is one of the few founding fathers who has survived to the present, followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and the north, and made a lot of great contributions, and was wounded by more than 70 people.

But what made Zhu Ao excited was not him Guo Ying himself, a meritorious general, who would not play much role in the future of a prince, but his sister, Concubine Guo Ning.

Concubine Guo Ning followed Zhu Yuanzhang when she was in Haozhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not developed at that time, and she was also one of Lao Zhu's concubines, and her qualifications were relatively old.

After the death of Queen Ma, Concubine Li Shu, who was rumored to be the biological mother of the crown prince, King of Qin, and King of Jin, temporarily took charge of the six palaces, and soon Concubine Li Shu also died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Concubine Guo Ning to take the six palaces, which was equivalent to acting queen.

If you can be on the list of Concubine Guo Ning's thighs, with the wind blowing in her ears, the impact of those gossips that reach Lao Zhu's ears will be reduced a lot.

Zhu Ao was very excited, turned over and pressed Sun Yunqi under him, couldn't help but ravage her, and said with a smile: "Aifei, why are you so smart?" Why didn't this king think of it before? ”

Sun Yunqi was rubbed a few times by him, and his delicate lips gasped lightly: "The king and the prince have won the award, and the concubine also thought of it by chance, as long as it can be good for the prince, the concubine is willing to rack her brains." ”

Zhu Ao stroked her delicate face, with a smile full of affection on her face, but said in a very domineering tone: "Who allowed you to rack your brains? You racked your brains, who will accompany this king to a princess who is both smart and beautiful? ”

Sun Yunqi's heart was sweet, women, no one can resist the domineering favor, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your pity, it is the honor of the concubine to serve the prince." ”

Zhu Ao looked at his beloved wife's innocent appearance, and couldn't help but feel cruel and evil, and smiled evilly: "That king will honor you for a lifetime." After speaking, he began to do bad things to Sun Yunqi again.

The next day was the day to see Lao Zhu, so although Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi were very tired, they still stood up strongly, and under the service of Tingwei and Yinhe, they hurriedly got dressed, Zhu Ao wore a crown dress, and Sun Yunqi wore Zhai clothes. The two ate two bites of breakfast, then took a sedan chair and went straight to the Forbidden City, and entered the palace from the east gate under the praise of the palace people.

Since today is the day of King Su's great joy, no matter how much Lao Zhu usually doesn't love Gao's family, he has to call her today. But according to the etiquette system, Gao is not the protagonist of this scene. Because today is Zhu Ao and the princess to meet the emperor and the empress, because Empress Ma is dead, the role of the queen temporarily has a cameo appearance by Concubine Guo Ning, who is the chief photographer of the six palaces.

Zhu Ao took Sun Yunqi's hand and slowly walked into the palace, and the husband and wife both knelt down and kowtowed: "Erchen to see his father and mother, may my father live long live, long live." ”

Lao Zhu was dressed in leather clothes, and Concubine Guo Ning was dressed in Yanju clothes, and sat in the hall and received four bows from Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi. Seeing that his son married a beautiful woman, Lao Zhu couldn't help but smile happily and said, "Get up, if you become a parent, you will be an adult." The way forward is up to you. The Father will send you only one word; "If you want to ask about the road on the mountain, ask the people who have come by", if there is something, ask your seniors for advice, you can't be wrong. ”

Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi both kowtowed and said, "Father Xie mentioned it, and the sons must remember it." ”

Seeing that his son had finally grown up and become a parent, Gao Shi next to Lao Zhu sobbed excitedly. Lao Zhu glanced at her with a slight hint of disdain in his eyes, and said: "Your mother is so happy, as a parent, who doesn't want their son to start a family and live a peaceful life?" Today you have taken the most important step in your life, and it is natural for your mother to be excited. From now on, live well and do not disappoint your mothers. ”

Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi knelt on the ground and replied in unison: "Erchen remembers the teachings of his father and will never let his father and mother down. ”

In front of Lao Zhu, Gao Shi had no qualifications to speak, so he didn't say a word, just shed tears of excitement.

At this time, Concubine Guo Ning, who had not spoken, finally spoke, because she had seen a lot of winds and waves in her life, coupled with the precipitation of the years, she naturally exuded a calm and solemn temperament that was not angry and self-assured, and said: "King Su got married today and married a beautiful woman, which is really gratifying." Come and set up a banquet to entertain King Su and Princess Su. ”

Zhu Ao raised his eyes and glanced at the legendary Concubine Guo Ning, only to see that although this woman was old, she still couldn't hide her charm, which showed how beautiful she was when she was young, no wonder she was favored by Lao Zhu for so many years, and said: "Thank you for the banquet." ”

Sun Yunqi and Zhu Ao intended to tie up Concubine Guo Ning, so they patted Concubine Guo Ning's ass from time to time at the banquet, but after all, their biological mother was also present, and the two were not too obvious, so as not to make their mother sad.

After meeting Lao Zhu, the next step is to see the East Palace.

Zhu Ao was wearing a leather clothes and Sun Yunqi was wearing Zhai clothes, and they also went to see Zhu Yunwen early in the morning. Zhu Yunwen personally waited outside the door and introduced Zhu Ao and his wife into the hall, which flattered Zhu Ao.

According to the etiquette system, Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi had to bow to Zhu Yunwen four times, and Zhu Yunwen sat down. But Zhu Yunwen didn't put on the grandson's stand at all this time, stood and accepted four bows, and replied twice, saying: "The fourteenth uncle and fourteenth aunt don't need to be polite, you are elders, and it stands to reason that Yunwen should worship you." ”

Sun Yunqi is a very good person, she knows that although she is an elder, but after all, Zhu Yunwen is the prince, and he will be the emperor in the future, if he is disrespectful, it will not be good for the prince and herself, and she smiled softly: "Taisun is too polite, you are the prince of the country, of course you should be worshiped by us, although the family law is strict, but after all, there is no national law." ”

That's a very apt remark.

Zhu Yunwen said modestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Yun Wei should listen to the teachings of the fourteenth uncle and fourteenth aunt. ”

Zhu Ao and his wife were polite to Zhu Yunwen for a long time before leaving the East Palace. Zhu Ao knew in his heart that the reason why Zhu Yunwen was so polite to himself was not because he had given up his defenses, but because he had a more powerful enemy, Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Not long ago, Zhu Di, who has been performing well in the military, got a new appointment from Lao Zhu, and it is also the most important appointment in his life - to control the soldiers and horses along the border. This means that Lao Zhu's 800,000 troops stationed on the northern border have theoretically become Zhu Di's subordinates. This has also become a huge capital for Zhu Di to raise troops, most of the border guards sent by the imperial court to fight Zhu Di are his subordinates, and many people surrender as soon as they see Zhu Di, which makes the southern army very passive.
