"It's so quiet here!" Zhu Qiming stopped in front of Zhu Yuxuan, looking at the patina on the door knocker, his face was dignified.

"Several eldest princesses have already landed, and it is naturally quiet here." Lu Xiyu's gaze swept over Zhu Qiming's face and landed on Zhu Yuxuan's closed doors and windows, "Ten years from now, there may be a large group of young princesses living here in Dongyuan, and it will be impossible to be quiet at that time." ”

"Yes, the silence in any corner of the Forbidden City cannot last, and in ten years, this will be the world of a new generation." Zhu Qiming started again, his eyes swept to Biyunxuan in front of him, "Biyunxuan is the former residence of Princess Shunde, you can't let Saihan toss by temperament." ”

When the gust of wind hit, Lu Xiyu's clothes fluttered, the skirt gently brushed Zhu Qiming's body, and the faint fragrance penetrated into his nose.

"Don't worry, Saihan is not a heartless person, she has become a lot quieter these days. The subordinates she brought could not enter the palace, so He Sizan assigned two sensible palace maids to her, and there was a way to stop Saihan from going out of line. ”

A burst of piano sounds floated in, and most of the piano sounds seemed to fall on the key, which could be heard as "Plum Blossom Three Alleys".

Lu Xiyu covered his mouth and chuckled, and his starry eyes swept towards Zhu Qiming, there seemed to be a hint of mockery in it. "In a few days, I'm afraid your piano skills won't even be comparable to Saihan."

Cut, you look too high at the Tartars!

"His Royal Highness King Yue." He Ye came out of the Jade Pavilion and came forward to greet him.

Zhu Qiming bowed his head, took a few steps, stepped into the main hall, and saw that Saihan's attention was all on the music of the qin, and he didn't even raise his head, so he chose a chair to sit down, thinking about his thoughts.

I don't know how long later, the sound of the piano stopped, and two snickering voices floated over, one high and one low, and the laughter was mixed with words like "little old man".

Zhu Qiming turned his head to look and ran into two completely different pairs of stars. Lu Xiyu's gaze is subtle and gentle and lovely, with a little concern in it; Saihan's gaze was slightly bold, and there seemed to be some curiosity in it.

"Look at your soulless look, busy with your go, I'll just practice the piano with my sister." Saihan said lightly.

If Zhu Qiming received amnesty, he walked out of Biyuxuan quickly, and almost trotted all the way to Qingning Palace. The Empress Dowager exempted him from the big gift and called him to sit close.

"Do you have a mind?" The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and looked at Zhu Qiming's face for a long time, and then said quietly.

There was a feeling of being stuck in his throat, and the taste of not vomiting and unpleasantness was repeatedly rushing against his reason, and Zhu Qiming's gaze instantly became extremely sharp. "Imperial grandmother, an auxiliary minister like Yang Shiqi is actually very sad, although he will not be convicted, but if he wants to be liberated during his lifetime, there is only one way to lose his reputation."

"What do you want to say?"

"Let's take the grandson as an example, the court has already made a decision, and the emperor has also opened the golden mouth, and the grandson must wait until he is an adult to go to the domain, so if the grandson wants to go to the domain in advance, everyone, including the grandson, I am afraid that they will not be able to speak."

"So what?"

"If someone wants their grandson to go to the domain in advance, and there is only one way for the grandson to go, then the grandson has committed a crime!"

"Are you saying that because of the verdict of the previous court and the emperor's Chrysostom, it is clear that letting you go to the vassal in advance is to go back on your word and cause the discussion to boil, although you still can't allow it, so you can only secretly find your stubble, so you can find a reasonable excuse for your early visit to the vassal domain?"

The Empress Dowager sighed slowly, rested her head on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened her eyes. "The imperial grandmother said, you must not be resentful, you must not be concerned about the society, but also have to bear the grievances, no way, this is your life, the imperial grandmother can't help."

The Empress Dowager's words were like ice rain, hitting Zhu Qiming's heart, and the boundless chill instantly froze all expectations.

Hongli walked in, glanced at Zhu Qiming, and walked quickly to the Empress Dowager's seat to salute, "The maid in charge of the Xianxi Palace knocks on the Empress Dowager." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the Queen Mother has a few new unique fans, and the slaves and maids are sent to honor the Queen Mother."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhu Qiming, didn't look at the red lily, stood up with a cane, and covered her forehead with one hand, "Alas, I have a headache." He immediately glanced at the three palace maids, "You all come to serve." ”

"Sit by yourself." The Empress Dowager's words before leaving were obviously for Zhu Qiming.

The three palace maids hugged the Empress Dowager into the inner room, and only Zhu Qiming and Hongli were left in the main hall. Hong Lily slowly walked to the desk next to Zhu Qiming, there were several bottles of flower arrangements on the case, which were slightly messy, and Hong Lily bent down to fiddle again.

"Your Highness should not underestimate the eyes of the Queen Mother, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness can stay and use, and King Yu must not stay or not."

Zhu Qiming reached out and took the tea cup on the table, moved the cup and took a sip, but tasted a taste of aging. "It's all tied together, what's the difference between it and not?"

Red Tatewi glanced back at the inner room, turned her head, took out the flower arrangement in the bottle, and reinserted it into the bottle one by one. "Of course, there is a difference, and the Queen Mother's immobility is proof of this."

Zhu Qiming reluctantly swallowed the tea in his mouth, frowned and put down the teacup, "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has been in the throne for seven years, and he naturally knows the truth that the mountains are the great calamities of the country, and there are many scheming people who offer advice from the side, and the Son of Heaven has already dissolved the power of the harem in the previous dynasty into nothingness, and the two palaces cannot take advantage of the external situation, so they are slow to act." ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong! How can you do such a thing with the help of external forces? Of course, the power of the family is more reliable. As long as the Empress Dowager uses the power of the Sun Mansion, it is not difficult to find the palace on the side of Zhuolu Mountain, and the Xianxi Palace has hesitated so far, just because she is worried that she will accidentally injure Her Highness. The Queen Mother only wants to hurt one side. ”

Zhu Qiming glanced at the red lily, and then reached out to take the cup, regardless of the taste of the tea, he raised the cup and drank a few sips.

Hongli took off the flower arrangement in another vase, "Fu'an Palace is still reluctant to waste the hard work of many years ago, it is said that the shape of the palace is quite like a temple, so Fu'an Palace turned it into a temple, and there are many monks living in it." ”

"Ahem, cough, ······" Zhu Qiming was choked by the tea, coughed a few times, and hurriedly put down the teacup, his eyes were blank.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Hong Lian stopped his hand, "I'm afraid it's the opposite on the Qianqing Palace's side, and the Qianqing Palace is worried that it will hurt King Yu by mistake." After finishing speaking, he got up and left, leaving deep doubts in Zhu Qiming's eyes.

An imperial chamberlain hurriedly walked in, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, His Royal Highness the Emperor will go to the Qianqing Palace for hearing." ”

Hearings? It's coming so fast! Zhu Qiming got up and glanced at the inner room, at this moment, the inner room was very quiet, so he dressed up and followed the inner servant out of Qingning Palace.

The inside and outside of the Qianqing Palace were heavily guarded. The emperor sat on the throne with a gloomy face; Wang Zhen and Wu Long stood in front of the side of the throne on the left and right, Wang Zhen was expressionless, and Wu Long could not hide the smug look on his face.

As soon as Zhu Qiming saluted, he saw the Queen Mother hurriedly walking in with plums. The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhu Qiming a little anxiously, and then looked at the throne with a puzzled expression.

The emperor's slightly gloomy face was slightly gloomy, "Why is the queen mother here?" ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly tilted her head to the side, "The Empress Dowager handed over Qi Ming to the Mourning family to take care of, the Mourning family can't help but come, otherwise, the Mourning family still looks like a queen mother!" ”

At this time, Concubine Wu and Immortal Master Jingci both walked in, and saw the Queen Mother staring at Concubine Wu fiercely, "Yo, some people are weak-hearted, and they finally can't sit still!" Moving his eyes to the Jingci Immortal Master, "Hmph, I also called a brave one!" ”

The gentleness on the face of the Jingci Immortal Master suddenly dissipated, "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" There are only a few people in the Forbidden City, no matter how poor the concubines are, they are also the elders of King Yue, so it is difficult that they are not qualified to come and see the truth! ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and waved his hand to the inner attendant at the door in annoyance, and the inner attendant led the queen mother, Concubine Wu, and Jingci Immortal Master into the inner room, but when he saw the white shadow flickering, the bead curtain at the door of the inner room was lowered, covering the figure inside.

Suddenly, I saw King Yu break in, followed by the palace maid named Yanluo. Yanluo's figure seems to be a little strange, as for how it is different, Zhu Qiming has no time to think about it.

"Brother Huang, those rumors must be untrue, I implore Brother Huang not to let King Yue be wronged."

Rumor? In this way, did the emperor and the king reveal their words? Zhu Qiming closed his eyes and left a wry smile in his heart.

"What are you here to do? Get out! ”

King Yu twisted his neck and fixed there, showing a rare stubbornness.

This is a protest decree, will the emperor let the king go? Zhu Qiming let his mind temporarily free himself from the shackles of the oppressive atmosphere and began to think about this interesting question.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Stay in the side hall honestly, don't come out without being summoned!" ”

The king was not reprimanded, and reluctantly took the smoke into the side hall on the west side.

The emperor's gaze lingered on Zhu Qiming's face for a moment, and then turned to Wulong Nunu's mouth.

Wu Long straightened his slightly curved posture, "His Royal Highness King Yue, someone reported that His Highness has built a secret palace on the side of Zhuolu Mountain, which can hide 10,000 soldiers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many passes for a large number of troops. ”

Strange injustices in the world! Zhu Qiming only called out in his heart, and immediately looked at the emperor, he had no way of knowing whether the emperor really didn't know that the master who left the palace was someone else, or pretended not to know.

When he set his eyes on Wu Long's face, he saw a proud face that was in his hands.

"If this king exceeds the law, he has his own three law divisions to investigate, and the Zongren Mansion inquires, you are a eunuch who is a celebrant and a pen, and you don't leave the inner court, how can you know the whereabouts of this king? Who is qualified to question this king? ”

"Coincidentally!" Wu Long twisted his neck, there was no cowardice in his eyes, "The two groups of people have found the Sprinkle family one after another, and they have made it clear what His Highness has done, and they can be witnesses!" As a close courtier beside His Majesty, how dare the Sprinkle family have a trace of concealment? The Sprinkle family asked today, with His Majesty's authorization! ”

The emperor swept Zhu Qiming with cold eyes, "It's better to speak clearly here than to hand it over to the Zongren Mansion for trial." Yan Bi waved his hand in front of the door.

"Bring a witness!"

With the sound of the waiter in front of the door, an old man and a young man were brought into the hall by the brocade guard, Zhu Qiming glanced at the two, and only felt that the young man had a kind face, as if he had seen it there.
