The red knotweed took people to rummage for a long time, and only then did they find three satisfactory things in the storage room of Kunning Palace.

Back in Xianxi Palace, after learning about the turmoil in the morning, Hongli was a little uneasy, and regretted that she forgot to remind the Queen Mother a few words before leaving.

If the matter ends here, it doesn't matter much, after all, it is the duty of the queen mother to control the harem and discipline the prince, even if the words are heavier, it is inconvenient for others to put their beaks away. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is unwilling to stop and accidentally violates the taboo of the harem to interfere in politics, which will set off stormy waves.

Hearing that the Queen Mother was sleeping alone in the West Pavilion and refused to have lunch, Hongli hurried to the West Pavilion.

When the Queen Mother saw the red knotweed, she immediately came to her senses. "It's really a blessing, the mourning family didn't see the emperor in the morning, but let that cheap maid get her wish!"

"The emperor and the king have a deep brotherhood, you can push the boat down the river and become the virtue of the son of heaven. Fortunately, you didn't see the emperor, otherwise, the front dynasty and the harem would have been in an uproar at this moment! ”

The Queen Mother owed her body, and Hongli quickly stepped forward to help her sit up.

"Are you confused? Is it possible to mourn the family and make it uncomfortable for them? The Queen Mother said.

"Now the situation is very different from the past, the emperor has taken the throne, and from now on, no one can make the queen mother uncomfortable."

The Queen Mother could hear that there was something in the red words. The queen mother understands that she used to compete for favor, but now she is a mother who is more expensive than her son, as long as her son is in power, her position is naturally more and more honorable day by day. But the past competition for favor has left too many shadows, which makes it difficult for her to let go. "The mourning family has made too many enemies in the past, so many concubines, who secretly does not have some power in the DPRK and China? Now these forces are united and belong to the Wu mother and son. Not to mention, just say that after the kid left the palace and moved into the palace, Hu's brother was the commander of the Xicheng soldiers and horses, and the Wu family's brother was the commander of the Dongcheng soldiers and horses, wouldn't that kid be like a fish in water! ”

The red eyes are flowing, the red lips are slightly opened, and the urgent things are put in her mouth, and they are always eloquent. "That force is indeed not to be underestimated, but the artifact of the Son of Heaven in charge of the country, how wise the Empress Dowager is! Auxiliary ministers are not idle people, and they can be dissolved into intangible. Besides, His Royal Highness has to live in the palace to have external power to borrow, how easy is it to give the young prince a mansion? The Empress Dowager has no such intentions, and the emperor has no such intentions, unless someone invites herself, if that is the case, it will cause a lot of discussion, and if someone takes the opportunity to get up and down his hands, then he can't complain about others. ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized, and then got off the bed. Red Lady hurriedly helped her to the side of the desk and sat down.

"In this way, staying in the palace is also a matter of adulthood, and it is the same for the early king and the late king." After saying this, the Queen Mother glared at Meizi outside the hall, it was this girl who talked too much in the morning, which made her upset and lost her sense of proportion for a while.

Hongli chuckled: "Staying in the Jingzhong Royal Mansion as an adult? Not necessarily. As far as the word '郕' is concerned, the fiefdom should be in Henan. ”

The Queen Mother chuckled a few times and started to eat.

"Have you picked a prize?" The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said gently.

"The slave maid chose three things related to reading, all of which are extraordinary, but I am afraid that there will be nothing to stand out in the entire Forbidden City."

"The things you picked must be excellent, the mourning family doesn't look at it, I can trust you, send it quickly."

"Sister Hong, have you ever been to the Yue Palace?"

"Sister Hongli, is the Yue Wangfu magnificent?"

"Sister Hongli, is there a royal city in the Yue Palace?"

······

Mao Gui and Wang Qing, who were less than seventeen years old, went out of the palace on an errand for the first time, and they were very excited to ask each other on the carriage to the Yue Palace.

Hong Lily was amused by the curiosity of the two, covered her mouth and snickered for a long time, and then replied in one breath: "I haven't been to Yue Wangfu." At that time, Emperor Taizu Hongwu had the regulations of the royal palace, and the prince's palace was equivalent to the Forbidden City, which was a small one, with the left ancestor and the right society in front of the door, and the front hall and harem in the house; There are walls around it for defense, and moats for moats; There are four gates in the royal city, the south is called Duanli, the north is called Guangzhi, the east is called Tiren, and the west is called Zunyi, which takes the meaning of 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom'······ That's it, don't say more, you'll see later, what's the hurry? ”

Mao Gui was still unsatisfied, and asked: "Sister Hongli, King Yue is the concubine of the Empress Dowager, the uncle of the Emperor of Heaven, and the age of the order is above King Xiang, it can be said that he is the most noble prince in the world, and the Yue Wangfu must be the most prominent prince's mansion in the world!" ”

Hongli was amused again, and said with a smile: "The nobles and not the nobles vary from time to time, and there were no noble princes during the Hongwu and Yongle periods?" The king of Yue is a well-known king of leisure, not luxurious. It is said that the Chu Wangfu in Wuchang and the Daiwang Mansion in Datong are far more magnificent than the Yue Wangfu. ”

Mao Gui suddenly rolled his eyes and made a fool. It's no wonder that he, a little chamberlain who has never seen much of the world, suddenly asked him to extend the concept of space from the capital to Huguang and Shanxi, and then trace the concept of time from the Xuande period to the Hongwu period for parallel comparison, it would be too difficult for him, and the brain capacity was obviously insufficient!

At this time, Wang Qing's curiosity came up again, "Sister Hongli, King Yue is the King of Freedom, it is said that the Yue Palace's Mansion is like a courtyard outside the world, this family has nothing to do with Xianxi Palace, why does the Queen Mother have a blue eye for Prince Yue?" ”

Hong's eyes froze, and he muttered, "Prince Yue is very smart. ”

"No matter how smart he is, he is also a seven-year-old child, not to mention that he will most likely go to the domain when he becomes an adult, and his life's achievements are limited to taking care of a small palace far away from the capital, what does this have to do with the Forbidden City?"

The red knotweed slightly lifted the curtain, saw the bustling cityscape, the people were prosperous, and the thoughts were flying in the smoke and clouds of Beijing.

"Perhaps, after today, everything will be different." After a long time, the sound of red knotweed seemed to float from the sky.

Just when Mao Gui and Wang Qing were puzzled, the Yue Wangfu had arrived. At the front door outside the Duanli Gate, the carriage slowly stopped.

The three of them got out of the carriage, and the prince's "big companion" Huang An led more than a dozen palace attendants to respectfully greet him.

Huang An is in his early twenties, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes reveal a bit of Lianda that does not match his age. He was originally a palace attendant, and six years ago he was designated by the Empress Dowager to come to the Yue Palace, to serve the Yue Prince, and his identity was different from others, so Hongli and Mao Gui and Wang Qing hurriedly returned the salute.

Raise your eyes and look at it, only to see a plaque above the front door, a line of golden small characters on the upper right: "Yongle 22 years of erection", and three gilded characters under the book: "Yue Wangfu".

King Yue and King Xiang are the same mother and brother of the first emperor, and they were crowned kings together in the 22nd year of Yongle, the difference is that the idle and leisurely King Yue stayed in Beijing, and the extraordinary King Xiang went to the domain.

Interesting!

Red Tate's heart was slightly touched, and then she shook her head and walked through the front door. A huge wall engraved with a double dragon play bead pattern comes into view.

Hongli stopped and stared at the wall, feeling that it revealed the extraordinary grandeur of the Emperor's House, and this alone was far from being comparable to the mansions of the Third Duke and the Nine Qings.

It is said that there is a more spectacular nine-dragon wall in the Daiwang's Mansion in Datong, Shanxi, and I just hate that I have no chance to go to see what is going on in this life!

This thought flashed in Hongli's heart, and Huang An stepped forward with a smile, inviting the three of Hongli to board the palace sedan chair separately and lay down the curtain cage. More than 20 sedan chair drivers lined up from the side room, carried three large sedan chairs, entered the Duanli Gate, and walked through the long road paved with white marble. The three of them enjoyed the courtesy of a chase.

The inner chamber, the Cheng Feng Division, the Changshi Division, the Dining House and other internal offices of the palace are lined up along both sides of the road, the red wall and green tiles are hidden in the green pines and cypresses, the rockery and strange stones, the flower beds and water pavilions, the vines and roses and bamboos, dotted in the meantime.

Through the subtle gaps in the sedan curtain, I only feel that the warm breeze is blowing, the insects are chirping and the birds are crying, and the spring is at ease in my ears.

Entering the carrier door, the sedan chair landed steadily, and the sedan chair driver quickly retreated.

A group of maids who had been waiting for a long time came forward to help Hongli off the sedan chair.

The red knotweed raised her eyes and looked around, and her mood gradually returned to peace.

The Yue Wang's Mansion in front of you is the same as the legend, like a worldly courtyard away from right and wrong, disturbed one after another, magnificent and secluded.

Although it is not as magnificent as the Forbidden City, the flower forest paths, small bridges and flowing water, everywhere exudes tranquility and serenity, and even the maids around her have a sense of simplicity that has not been deliberately carved, not at all like the palace maids in the Forbidden City.

The heart of the red knotweed seems to be integrated into the tranquil and leisurely courtyard atmosphere, and the whole body feels extremely relaxed.

After a while, my heart moved, and a trace of melancholy was inadvertently written on my face.

She feared that with her arrival, the fire in the Forbidden City would eventually spread to this quiet and intoxicating Yue Palace.

Bypass the carrier hall, the circle hall, into the heart of the palace, only feel to a world of cockroaches, the arch and the four walls, the seat is all decorated with the pattern of the cockroach, even the red gold hanging tent with the wind is embroidered with the lifelike cockroach.

Hongli fixed her mind, saluted to Princess Yue, who was dressed to greet her, and her eyes immediately fell on Zhu Qiyue, the prince of Yue on the side.

Red Tweed's face was shocked.

Finally met this little prince with a prophetic aura and a mysterious color!

The little prince who recites at the age of four and writes at the age of six can be called a young man of flowers, which is unforgettable!

I saw him wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, wearing a red Luo brocade over-the-knee gown, his face was like jade, his eyes were like paint, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

Especially the clear eyes, the eye waves are smart, brilliant and impressive.

"The heroes of the world, Jiang Zuo's beautiful husband", although the saying goes, "seven years old looks small", the little prince is not yet old enough to see the old, but Hong Lily still suddenly remembered this couplet, and seemed to believe that his future must be as in the poem.

Thinking of the sixteen-character proverb again, for a while, the red knotweed was quite entangled, and I didn't know whether it was sad or happy.

"A copy of Huanghuali's bookcase!" At this time, Mao Gui sang the queen mother's reward list.

Huang An took the bookcase from Wang Qing's hand, and everyone looked at it, only to see that the bookcase was surrounded by wonderful carving, carving, and inlay craftsmanship with the natural texture of the yellow rosewood on the case, which lined the bookcase with a bit of harmony in the exquisiteness, and at a glance it was known that it came from the hands of the skilled craftsmen in the palace.

So, in astonishment, everyone opened their mouths wide and almost didn't let out a scream.

"A red sandalwood jade interstitial!"

The small interstitial screen is obviously a supporting item for the bookcase, with red sandalwood as the base and inlaid with green fan-shaped jadeite, as if it was naturally generated. As soon as this treasure appeared in the hands of the inner attendant, everyone was startled and sighed in unison.

"A letter from Raden!"

This is a mahogany box containing no brush, the surface of the wooden box is embedded with luminous snail shells, at first glance, colorful, under careful inspection, Fang found that the snail pieces are polished very smooth, embedded tightly, as if naturally grown in the wood, can be called ingenious!

At this moment, no one was amazed, and the sound of excited chuckles could be heard everywhere in the hall.

The palace attendants and maids have a very high vision, but after seeing the three rewards sent by the queen mother, they suddenly sighed that there is a sky outside the sky, and the queen mother made a casual move, but the reward was only seen in the palace!

In the eyes of everyone, with this generous reward, the status of the little prince in the heart of the Queen Mother must be extraordinary!

Hongli's gaze lingered on Princess Yue's face for a moment, and then moved back to Zhu Qiyue. "The Queen Mother is concerned about His Royal Highness the Prince, and personally chooses three things in the study, in the hope that His Royal Highness will benefit His Royal Highness's studies."

At this moment, there is no need for laughter, no need for laughter, the festive atmosphere silently fills the heart hall, and lives on everyone's faces.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your generous reward!" Princess Yue looked very excited, and under the excited gaze of everyone, she pulled her son together and bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City.

The reward handover ceremony ended quickly, and Princess Yue greeted Hongli and invited her to sit down for tea.

It was only at this time that Hongli glanced at Princess Yue, and was immediately shocked by her peerless appearance, but the gentle charm of the corners of the princess's eyes and eyebrows warmed people's hearts like a wisp of wind, which made Hongli quickly regain her composure.

"Thank you for the kindness of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen Mother has orders, and the slaves and maids dare not stay."

The princess said "regret", and actually stepped forward to hold Hongli's arm and personally sent her out of the palace.

The palace maid in charge of Xianxi Palace, although her identity is a slave, her status is not inferior to that of a female official, so she did not give much courtesy to the princess this time.

With one foot stepping out of the Heart Palace, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Lezi, the chief servant of Concubine Wu's palace, leading several people, holding gift boxes, and hurriedly walking towards this side.

When Xiao Lezi's eyes swept to this side, he looked very natural and decent, without the slightest hint of panic. There even seemed to be a hint of excitement in the corner of his eyes when facing a challenge.

Hong's heart sank, and an ominous premonition passed through her mind.

The Queen Mother planned to envelop Prince Yue, but she didn't expect that Concubine Wu also had this intention!

The fire in the Forbidden City seems to have spread to the Yue Wang's Mansion!

Looking back, he glanced at Zhu Qiyue, the prince of Yue, for some reason, at this moment, Hongli was worried about this little prince who had seen him for the first time.

Before she realized it, her own troubles had already arrived.
