In front of hundreds of officials, the emperor granted Zhu Qiming a lot of convenience for walking in the Forbidden City, so convenient that he did not have to avoid the future concubines of the Son of Heaven, such a favor is not only because Zhu Qiming is a so-called young "gentleman", in the final analysis, or because the emperor no longer has any rewards that can be obtained, gold, silver and jewelry are not enough to weigh the weight of the two miracles before and after, and the prince's position is really unrespectable, and the prince cannot be divided into nine ranks, so that Zhu Qiming can become a first-class prince step by step, right?

At this time, the generosity of the Son of Heaven is more impressive than honoring and rewarding.

In normal times, the civil and military ministers will definitely attribute the convenience that Zhu Qiming can enjoy to the "palace relaxation ban", and everyone is vying to be the official who leads to the gushing public opinion, but unfortunately, on the special day that means that a comfortable day will come to the temple again, their mouths are obviously out of place at the moment.

Zhu Qiming didn't think much about the emperor's words, and his mind fell on the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty's reception of the Warat envoys.

The monarchs and ministers of the court must have acquiesced to the fact that Tokhtarbuhua was the supreme ruler of Warat, and suddenly there was a chaotic situation of etiquette. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of the two kings of the "King of Jingshun" and the so-called "King of Tokhova and Flowers", he only called Yexian the Taishi of the Northern Wara, called his spouse "wife", and never mentioned his identity as the king of the Ming Dynasty, which may cause the hatred of the first!

"The envoys of the Governor of the Northern Wara Araja Court have come to see you!"

In the voice of the inner servant, Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered a scene that Fang had accidentally seen: before the envoy left the palace, they had obvious eye contact with Xining, and Xining seemed to nod slightly at them!

How can a close minister who lives in the inner court know a newcomer?

Suddenly, there was a burning heat on his face, and he looked over and met Yang Pu's gaze, Yang Pu obviously also saw Fang Cai's scene, and was giving him a look at him at the moment.

"See His Royal Highness King Yue. Ah Ra Zhiyuan has heard of His Highness's name, and if those ignorant and reckless subordinates have any offense, please ask Your Highness Haihan! The Agar Zhiyuan will invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to come and visit His Highness in person at the appropriate time. ”

In contemplation, Zhu Qiming was awakened, looked up, and saw three Warat envoys kneeling not far away to salute him.

Have the envoys of the Ara-Zhiyuan seen it? Zhu Qiming glanced at the throne and saw that the emperor was sitting there with great ease, with an excited smile on his face.

On such a solemn occasion, how can a prince speak by himself! So, Zhu Qiming rushed to the envoy's head, and the three of them immediately got up and retreated.

The emperor walked down the royal platform with laughter, "The Ministry of Rites will set up a banquet in the Huitong Pavilion to entertain the envoys of Warat." I have ordered someone to hold a banquet in Yongsu Palace, you ministers may wish to put down the redundant affairs of the court, and we will have fun together! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!"

A large number of internal and external ministers surrounded the emperor and left the palace, and they gathered around Zhu Qiming and complimented him with nonsense.

"The three largest forces in Warat are all humble and heavy, vying to befriend my Daming, this grand occasion is unprecedented, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue has made great contributions!"

"Today's emperor is Shengming, and there is a good scheming and warlike King Yue who thinks that he is a humerus, why can't the Ming Dynasty open a long-term peace!"

"Hmph, some people always talk about regulations, but facts speak louder than words! If there is no pre-government of King Yue, how can there be peace in the north today? ”

"Some people just don't adapt to the times! Following the old system, holding on to the defects, I almost buried the gold of King Yue in the sand! ”

Yang Pu walked over quickly, and smiled at the civil and military officials who were cautious in their words and deeds on weekdays, and who were obviously a little too excited today, "The emperor has spoken, if anyone goes late, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a seat in the Yongsu Palace." ”

With a snort, everyone urged the old legs and ran out quickly after the emperor's back.

"Won't Your Highness go to the Yongsu Palace for a banquet?"

Zhu Qiming stopped, raised his eyes, and saw that there was no figure outside the hall, the honor guard of the brocade guard had already been withdrawn cleanly, and only he and Yang Pu were left in the hall. "No, I won't. There is a price for the prince's transgression, and it is not worth it to disobey for the sake of vanity! ”

Yang Pu then stopped, his eyes filled with deep meaning, "The peaceful days are coming again, and the monarchs and ministers are very happy now, but this heat will not last, and after everyone gets used to it in good times, everything will remain the same." His Royal Highness should understand that the court has already made a conclusion, that is, it is not worth having a bad relationship with Warat, and few people think that the Ming Dynasty can finally subdue Warat! Therefore, His Highness's merits are easily forgotten. ”

"Because of this, Xiao Wang has to do what he has to do, so as not to break out in the future, and someone will lie dormant on the temple and put the community in danger."

"Is Your Highness trying to deal with that person who is suspected of secretly communicating with Warat? It's a pity that Liu Ji's whereabouts are unknown, and it is difficult to convict him by relying on false speculation! ”

"It's okay, if this road doesn't work, you can find another way!" Zhu Qiming looked at Yang Pu, and had voted for this important minister of the tired dynasty with a crucial vote of confidence in his heart, "Xiao Wang only asks Yang Ge Lao for one thing, please ask Yang Ge Lao to persuade the important ministers of the court, at this time, don't take Xiao Wang's violation of the rules to say something, so as not to let Xiao Wang take care of himself." ”

······

With the emperor's will to reaffirm, Zhu Qiming finally let go of his hands and feet, and went to Qingning Palace to greet him without scruples.

The Empress Dowager's energy was declining, and her limited energy was all focused on the emperor's wedding and the selection of the empress, and after chatting with him, she could no longer find any suitable language to communicate, and even his military exploits were as if she had expected them a long time ago, and she lost interest in inquiring.

Zhu Qiming got up and said goodbye with interest, and went to Xianxi Palace to say hello, and found that the queen mother was not in Xianxi Palace, and he didn't see Wang Qing and Mao Gui who he wanted to see, so he had to leave Xianxi Palace and plan to go back to the courtyard to rest.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving Xianxi Palace, he saw a palace fight staged in advance at the fork in the road!

I wanted to turn around and avoid it, but when I saw Wang Qing in the crowd, he didn't want to move his steps.

The daughter of the Zhou family, surrounded by a large group of palace maids in Xianxi Palace and Wang Qing, blocked the way of the Qin family, and there was only a lonely attendant by Qin's side.

"People still have to take care of their own face, saying that the carriage was outside the Chengtian Gate and left Beijing immediately, but afterwards he was cheeky and begged the emperor, and the emperor didn't know why, he was bewitched by a fox!"

Zhou was dressed in a blue background colorful flower gown, and her bright-colored clothes lined her peerless face more and more gorgeous, and her large bright eyes should have been full of endless style.

Looking at the Zhou family's style, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but worry about the harem of the orthodox dynasty, if the Zhou family became the queen as he wished, he was afraid that the concubines below would not have a good life; If the Zhou family can't be the queen, then the future queen will be scared, and if it's not good, the drama after the abolition of the Xuande Dynasty may be staged again in the Orthodox Dynasty!

Look at the Qin clan again. She was dressed in a white background floral gown, and she looked elegant and refined all over her body, leaving an excellent impression, but in the harem, the fairy aura of her body can only be seen from afar. If you want to quickly enter the role and capture the Sacred Heart, the most reliable weapon is the style, like the Qin family, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the role for a long time. In the drama of countless women competing for a man, how can we believe in the beautiful legend that "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold"? One step behind, you will be trampled by the six palaces, and then you want to turn over the salted fish, how easy it is to talk about it!

Zhu Qiming didn't understand the mystery of the harem battle, and he didn't intend to worry about the Son of Heaven, he just felt that the Qin family at this time was different from the previous one, and there was a stubbornness hidden under her docile appearance.

"Is my sister doubting the emperor's sage?"

A tepid sentence dissolved the embarrassment of breaking his promise invisibly, and made the other party fall into the suspicion of arguing about the Son of Heaven, well, it's quite interesting!

Zhou gritted his teeth, "The Empress Dowager only granted me the right to enter and exit the harem cheaply, and you have not been authorized by the Empress Dowager, why do you frequently set foot in the forbidden places of the palace?" ”

"How dare my sister trespass on the forbidden land of the palace? The emperor's grace is vast, isn't there a sister Qian in Qingning Palace who is more convenient to enter and exit the harem? ”

Zhou's eyebrows were twisted, and his face was angry, but he couldn't make a sound there.

The grievances of the previous generation in the Forbidden City have been extended to the next generation, with the grievances of the previous generation, the Zhou family and the Qin family have been in a situation from the beginning, but it is far from enough for the Zhou family to be loyal to the empress dowager, because it is obviously not the Qin family that poses a huge threat to her dream of the middle palace, but the Qian family who frequently enters and leaves the Qingning Palace!

Zhou must have realized that she had mistaken her main enemy, but this did not prevent her from seeing Qin as a punching bag, and she seemed to be considering the words in order to bully Qin's lone son with her own strength.

Zhu Qiming walked over quickly.

"See His Royal Highness King Yue."

In the salute of the palace maids, the Zhou family and the Qin family turned around in unison and bowed slightly. Zhou had already suppressed his anger and looked at him with a smile, as if expressing some kind of kindness.

Zhu Qiming bowed his hand in return, and saw Wang Qing running over, "Your Highness, haven't you been to Xianxi Palace?" Hi, the Queen Mother is worshipping Buddha in the Buddha Hall at the moment, not in Xianxi Palace. ”

Zhu Qiming shook his head with a smile, "Who said it wasn't?" Ben Wang Bai turned around. When I went to Qingning Palace to say hello, I saw the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother's mind was all on the affairs of the future queen, and the king almost ate the closed door! ”

I saw Zhou's shock, and a trace of worry quickly appeared on his face. Taking advantage of this, Juan'er smiled at Zhu Qiming, and then led the Qin family to leave quietly.

Zhu Qiming turned around and left, and stopped after a while, "Wang Qing, there are a few treasures in the courtyard, this king wants to present them to the queen mother, you go with this king to get them, lest this king run again." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Qiming soon entered the courtyard, and the people were still on the road, when he saw Cui Mama squinting and squinting out of the main hall, "His Royal Highness King Yue is back!" ”

Yin'er and Qu Qinghuan trotted over happily, and Yin'er opened her mouth first: "Your Highness is finally back!" Your Royal Highness, the Queen Mother definitely didn't know that Her Highness would come to the other courtyard, but I was afraid that it would be too late to prepare dinner. It's better to be like this, the slave maid and Qu Qing went to Qingning Palace to prepare some meals, Your Highness, do you say it's okay? ”

Zhu Qiming nodded and looked at Yin'er. Qu Qing walked out of the courtyard gate, and then led Wang Qing to the corridor, "This king once said that he would offer treasures to the queen mother, and Mama went to pick out a few of the best things and handed them to Wang Qing." ”

Mama Cui answered, turned around and entered the main hall.

Zhu Qiming glanced at Xiao Chi by the railing, then turned his head to look at Wang Qing deeply, and was silent for a long time.

Wang Qing seemed to realize something, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he stomped his foot after a long time, "At that time, that person was sticking to the palace wall on the east side of Xuanwu Gate, he was ······"

Zhu Qiming still stared at Wang Qing and didn't say a word.

Wang Qing's eyes closed, and his shoulders began to tremble.

"He's ······ Xining! ”
