Since Emperor Hongzhi was beaten, the atmosphere of Kunning Palace has not been as relaxed as before, and at this time, there was silence in the palace, and the upper and lower levels did not even dare to come out. Even a few of the female officials who were most favored by the Empress Dowager Zhang stood there motionless, but their eyes were stealing glances at Wang Yue, the eunuch of Dongchang. After being silent for a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang gritted her teeth and asked.

"Say it again!"

"Queen Mother, the emperor went to the famous Qinglian Pavilion in Fanzi Hutong."

Although Wang Yue had expected Empress Dowager Zhang's fury, at this moment, a teacup smashed down on his head, and he knelt on the ground and he couldn't dodge and didn't dare to dodge, so he could only stubbornly bear it. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't have much strength, and the teacup had fallen in the middle of the middle, even so, the tea in it still splashed on the ground because of the teacup breaking, and the hem of his clothes was all soaked in the soup for a while. But compared to the end of something hitting his head, he was still very happy.

Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to scold Wang Yue, what are you all doing, but she actually let the emperor go to that kind of place, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered Zhu Houzhao's excited appearance in front of her, and she regretted it for a while. Knowing that Zhu Houzhao actually reacted like this, she should have spoken softer and more carefully at that time, and would not have given her only son such a big stimulus. After struggling for a while, she glared at Wang Yue angrily and shouted, "Get out, come back with the emperor's news!" ”

It wasn't until Wang Yue tiptoed out of the main hall that she couldn't support her body all of a sudden, and she fell down like this. At this time, several female officials suddenly panicked, some came up to help, some hurriedly went to make hot tea, and some went to the hospital to call someone. When they found that Empress Dowager Zhang was just out of strength and there was no big problem, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the surname Suo moved Empress Dowager Zhang to the couch in the Xinuan Pavilion with three or four people, and a close one took a fan to help with the fan, and said some comforting words that I don't know if they are useful or useless. It was easy to get the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but it was just those common sayings that made my ears calloused, and the Empress Dowager Zhang was angry and drove people out.

She lay down until dusk, and even when the female official came to ask for dinner, she waved her hand impatiently. It wasn't until a female official rushed in like a gust of wind that Wanfu saluted and said that the emperor was back, that the Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly lifted the thin layer of robe on her head and sat up straight, and asked urgently: "What are you waiting for when you come back, bring him to see me!" ”

"But ......" The female official hesitated for a moment, and saw that Empress Dowager Zhang was already annoyed, so she muttered, "The emperor brought Xu Xun into the palace as well." ”

The lesser of two evils, if she knew that her words would force Zhu Houzhao to go to the Qinglou to prove that she was a normal man, Empress Dowager Zhang would rather continue to listen to those gossip. At this moment, she angrily slammed her body under the couch and said sharply: "I was just about to look for him, but he was actually sent into the palace by himself!" Go to Chengqian Palace, and let the emperor come with him to see me! ”

Hearing that Empress Dowager Zhang asked her to go with Zhu Houzhao to see her, Xu Xun had to look at Zhu Houzhao with a little complaint, and sure enough, he looked at the little emperor with a smile. It's just that his mouth is hard, and Zhu Houzhao muttered as he walked: "It's those damn ear reports gods in Dongchang again, and I have to sue for this little thing, and I don't look at who sent them those money...... I'm waiting, and the expenses of the East Factory will not be allocated next year! ”

Xu Xun almost didn't give Zhu Houzhao these words and coughed out loud, secretly thinking that if Dongchang's throat was really so easy to get stuck, some civil officials in the court who were eager to take down all the factory guards immediately decided to rejoice. It's just that as soon as he arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, he saw an old eunuch blocking the door like a door god, seeing their line, he first saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then looked at Xu Xun with a smile and said: "Lord Xu, the Queen Mother has an order, first summon the emperor in, you kneel here." ”

He deliberately accentuated the word kneeling, and the smile on his face was a clear sneer. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao, who had a good look just now, suddenly slapped him with a big slap, and then shouted angrily: "How can the queen mother have such an outrageous order, it is obvious that you who rely on the old and sell the old are instigating behind your back!" ”

After scolding this, he immediately said to Xu Xun: "I almost forgot, it is difficult for my two uncles in this Kunning Palace to come in, let alone you as a foreign official." You go to my Chengqian Palace and wait, if the queen mother has any instructions, I will pass it on to you! ”

Although Zhu Houzhao asked him to return to the Chengqian Palace, but the Empress Dowager Zhang ordered to see him, Xu Xun knew that he couldn't just save face, so he glanced at the old eunuch who covered his face and didn't dare to say anything, and his heart moved, so he said to Zhu Houzhao: "The emperor is angry, the queen mother has always been very fond of the ministers, that is, the two uncles of the country as elders, and they also have a lot of mentions to the ministers, and the ministers have always been remembered. Now that the queen mother is scolding the ministers to kneel and wait, she must think that the ministers have some negligence......" said this, but Xu Xun did not have the slightest intention of kneeling and waiting in accordance with Yiyi's order, his eyes kept glancing at the main hall over there, deliberately slowing down his speech, and persuaded Zhu Houzhao in turn.

I only hope that after the Empress Dowager Zhang lost her husband, she would not still be so angry!

The emperor played the steward sign of Kunning Palace, and then couldn't help but say that he wanted to send Xu Xun back to Chengqian Palace, but Xu Xun finally didn't leave, and his words were sincere.

Although she was so angry, she knew best what virtue her son had fallen from his own body, not to mention that he had just made a mistake-so, thinking about it again, because Xu Xun's words remembered many of his past benefits, Empress Dowager Zhang was still more annoyed that the old eunuch couldn't speak and did something wrong, so she took a deep breath and gave two orders to the female official who reported the news.

Jia Shichun was confused, such a little thing actually made the emperor angry, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat as Xu Xun's kid...... You go out, let Jia Shichun slap his mouth twenty on the grounds of committing a crime, let him kneel in the courtyard, and call the emperor and Xu Xun in! ”

As the steward of Kunning Palace, it was said that the big guys who were the master of ceremonies were polite when they saw him, and they were the first to receive any reward, but today they were slapped because of a sentence, so Jia Shichun looked at Xu Xun, and there was almost fire in his eyes. Seeing Xu Xun persuading Zhu Houzhao there, he caught a glimpse of a female official walking out quickly as the curtain of the main hall moved over there, he deliberately raised his voice with a sad face and said: "Emperor Mingjian, the slave maid is really the order of the queen mother, if there is the slightest lie, the slave and maid will not die well!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the female officer in front of her said with a cold face: "Queen Mother, Jia Shichun committed disrespect, slapped his mouth twenty, and was punished for kneeling for an hour to reflect and reflect!" ”

After saying this, she didn't look at the dumbfounded Jia Shichun, and stepped forward with a smile and saluted Zhu Houzhao Wanfu and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please go in with Lord Xu." ”

"I know that the queen mother is definitely not that kind of person, and sure enough, this dog thing is pretending to spread Yi's will!"

Zhu Houzhao immediately became happy, and kicked Jia Shichun down angrily, only then did he turn around and hook his hand at Xu Xun, and after straightening his clothes, he stepped inside. And Xu Xun, who was following behind, saw that although Jia Shichun got up and knelt down with his hands and feet, and slapped his mouth again and again, he stared at him with resentful eyes, how could he not have a number in his heart.

If you have a lot of debts, you are not afraid of ghosts, if you offend, you will be offended, he will calculate Li Rong this time, and a mere Kunning Palace steward brand is nothing - if it is really the Empress Dowager Zhang's great favorite, how can she be humiliated so casually?

Kunning Palace, as Zhu Houzhao said before, is when the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang were the uncles of the country, it was difficult to come in once in a year and a half. So, at this time, Xu Xun came in all the way, and he didn't know how many female officials and palace maids looked at him quietly, those hot eyes were full of teasing and temptation, even Xu Xun couldn't bear it if he didn't squint, and he unconsciously gave birth to a deep vigilance in his heart.

Amitabha, it seems that this time he has to finish his work, otherwise if Empress Dowager Zhang gave him a female official on a whim, it would be a big trouble that he couldn't get rid of!

"Queen Mother!"

"See the Queen Mother!"

Taking advantage of the time just now, the Empress Dowager Zhang had already made up a little, and now she was sitting on the rosewood chair with the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix in the Dongnuan Pavilion, except for her slightly sluggish spirit, she couldn't see anything else. It's just that seeing this pair of young monarchs and ministers saluting in front of them one after the other, she still deliberately looked at the two of them, looked at them and looked at them, and she didn't know how many weird thoughts she had turned in her heart. After a long time, she snorted coldly at Zhu Houzhao.

"You still know to come back!"

Zhu Houzhao was brainwashed by Xu Xun on the road before and instilled a big phone call - knowing that the lesson would not succeed, Xu Xun only started from the situation of the Empress Dowager Zhang, what lost her husband, the two marquis mansions could not count on and could only rely on their sons, why did they only raise Zhu Houzhao for three children, and what was widowed at a young age...... All in all, in his mouth, Empress Dowager Zhang has become the most hard-working mother in the world - so, although she lost her temper at the door just now, and her mother was the first to say a strange word at this time, but Zhu Houzhao looked up and saw that the corners of Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows and forehead had indeed revealed wrinkles that were difficult to hide, and he didn't realize that his heart was empty.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the son knows that she is wrong."

From childhood to adulthood, Zhu Houzhao was smart and smart, but Mr. Qiran refused to read and sneak out of the palace to play...... Many deeds can also be regarded as bad deeds. Every time Emperor Hongzhi admonished, it took a lot of effort to make Zhu Houzhao admit his mistake, not to mention the even more impatient Empress Dowager Zhang. At this moment, listening to her son take the initiative to admit her mistake, she only felt that most of the anger in her heart had dissipated at once, and she stared at her son with a complicated expression for a moment, and then she said in a deep voice: "Since you know that you are wrong, do you know where the mistake is?" ”

"The son-in-law should not make the queen mother angry."

Zhu Houzhao said obediently, seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was really cloudy and cloudy as Xu Xun said, and the cloudy turned sunny, his hand behind his back couldn't help but give Xu Xun a thumbs up - it turns out that it is so easy to coax his mother to be happy!
