Chapter 434: Self-defeating
Chapter 434 is self-defeating
The Empress Dowager Wang likes to be clean, coupled with her growing age and fatigue on weekdays, she naturally rarely goes out of Qingning Palace. &*.. The fastest update** And Emperor Hongzhi is only the Empress Dowager Zhang, almost all the old concubines of the Chenghua Dynasty have passed away, and the little emperor Zhu Houzhao has not yet accepted a concubine, and no one bothers her in the name of asking for peace on weekdays, and her life is comfortable.
However, on this day, Empress Dowager Zhang, who was only respectful to her on the face, stayed after greeting her for the first time. Although he was quite surprised by this, the Wang family knew the temperament of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and always listened to her talk about him with a smile. After going around in circles for a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang said what she meant.
"Since the death of the first emperor last year, the Ministry of Rites and the celebrant began to select for the good photo, and now it is finally about the same. I came today to ask the Empress Dowager to take one last look and pick three out of the ten people. ”
Although the Wang family is the empress dowager, but there is no intention of fighting for power with the Empress Dowager Zhang in this kind of thing, after hearing the words, he excused himself by using his poor health, but he couldn't help but persuade the Empress Dowager Zhang to live or die, thinking that Emperor Hongzhi is such a lone seedling, and he is not afraid of doing whatever he wants, so he has to pick a stable person to put it by his side, and finally agreed. However, others think that this is a matter of course, but Rong Shangyi's surprise is not light, and when Empress Dowager Zhang returns to Renshou Palace, she immediately quietly asks people to report to Zhu Houzhao, who has been indulging in sumo wrestling in Xiyuan these days.
Only two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Houzhao rushed into Renshou Palace in a hurry, and trotted all the way into the Dongnuan Pavilion, he didn't care about sweating profusely, and shouted loudly in anger: "Queen Mother, I heard that you invited the Empress Dowager to choose the queen concubine for her sons?" ”
"The ten people who were carefully selected before have been taught etiquette by my aunt for several months, and now it is natural to choose the final candidate, which is the right thing." Empress Dowager Zhang saw Zhu Houzhao stunned there, and mistakenly thought that her son was ashamed because of the imminent wedding, and immediately said with a smile, "The man should get married and the woman should get married, do you see that Xu Xun is not harmonious after marriage?" Now the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will also choose a beautiful girl for you with a good temperament and good looks. ”
"I don't want it!"
Zhu Houzhao brought Zhou Qiniang's circle around the boss, although he had never been able to kiss Fangze, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't expect that he hadn't asked, Li Rong and others still pushed the matter of electing the concubine to the point where it is now. At this moment, he exploded all of a sudden, and after shouting, he said angrily: "What ten people, Erchen has never seen the ten people they picked, how can you say that you have to pick a concubine for Erchen from inside?" ”
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't want Xu Xun's biggest trouble to be solved, and now that people are not in the capital, Zhu Houzhao is still so stubborn, and she couldn't help but be annoyed for a while: "You haven't seen anything important, I think your father and emperor only saw me on the night of candles in the last cave room, isn't it the same and beautiful?" Even if the Empress Dowager and I pick out the last three people, won't you make the queen by yourself when the time comes? Compared with the words of the matchmaker of the people's parents, blindly marrying and dumb marriage, you are already a great blessing! ”
"I don't want this blessing!"
Zhu Houzhao only felt that a fire exploded in his mind, and he no longer argued with Empress Dowager Zhang, but turned his head and left. Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she fainted, Rong Shangyi hurriedly chased her out, and finally intercepted Zhu Houzhao at the door of the main hall, and then said bitterly: "Why does the emperor bother to clash with the Queen Mother head-on like this, wouldn't it be good to be soft and say that you already have someone you like?" After all, the Queen Mother is your biological mother, and when the time comes, she may fulfill your wishes, and it may not be known that she will be a concubine. ”
Let the woman he likes kneel down to say hello to the queen who doesn't know where she came from? At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's head was in a mess, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "I forgot about it completely...... But Li Rong is really hateful, and this matter can't be shared with me! Needless to say, let me think about it first! ”
Seeing Zhu Houzhao walking fast, Rong Shangyi stood there stunned for a while, and finally turned around, racking her brains to stack a bunch of good words in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, but she never let the Empress Dowager Zhang go. On the other side, Zhu Houzhao angrily walked out of the Qianming Gate and returned to Xiyuan, and suddenly felt that the people around him were very boring, so he blew everyone away, leaving only Ruisheng, and walked forward along the bank of the Taiye Pond with boredom, and when he saw that he was about to arrive at the Taisu Palace, he hesitated for a moment and went straight in.
No one in the Taisu Palace knew that Xiao Zhu's father-in-law, who often came and went, was the emperor, and they all said that he was a celebrity of the celebrant eunuch, and he took a fancy to Zhou Qiniang, who was sent by the Queen Mother to serve the emperor - although it was not in accordance with the rules, but the emperor did not come here once, which shows that the chances of this Zhou girl being favored are slim, rather than waiting, it is better to have a good relationship with the imperial attendants. Therefore, as soon as he came in at this time, a few small firefighters did not come up to make fun, and they all smeared oil on the soles of their feet. Only Ruisheng stayed silent outside when Zhu Houzhao entered the back room.
Zhou Qiniang, who was immersed in needlework, heard the movement, and when she looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao breaking in angrily, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then put down the embroidery frame and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so angry?" Was he scolded by Father-in-law Li, or was he bullied by anyone? ”
"Seventh Sister ......" Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and suddenly said bluntly, "The emperor's wedding is approaching, and the candidate for the concubine will be determined!" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Qiniang raised her eyebrows in surprise, frowned and said, "This is not something that everyone knows?" I have screened so many channels over and over again, and now it's almost time to decide. But this is the affairs of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, what are you doing when someone who follows Gonggong Li is angry? ”
"I'm angry...... Of course I'm angry, the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, who is going to marry the queen can't listen to his own will, that's too pitiful, it's better than Pingbei Bo Xu Xun! ”
Seeing Zhu Houzhao say this, Zhou Qiniang remembered that the young eunuch had told him the story after the "Dream of Jinling", and also knew that Xu Xun and Shen Yue were not reunited after the catastrophe at all, but entered Beijing together at the beginning. Although she also envied that the two of them had successfully tied the knot as in the play, she knew that this kind of story was not comparable, so she was slightly stunned and pulled Zhu Houzhao to sit down with a smile, and personally went to the copper basin to pour cold water, wrung a wet towel and handed it to him. Seeing that he had taken it and wiped his face in a huff, she reached out and took it.
"How can this emperor be at peace with Northern Burpee? The emperor is the king of a country, and the queen mother and the queen mother are watching the rules and laws at the top, and there are civil and military officials and the people of the world watching at the bottom, but it is even more difficult to make his own decisions. After all, Zhou Qiniang had been in the palace for a long time, and she followed Rong Shangyi in Renshou Palace, and at this time she couldn't help but sigh again, "I used to hear that the emperor was the Son of Heaven and the most noble person in the world, but now that I think about it, the emperor is also difficult to handle." ”
Zhu Houzhao only felt that these words had reached his heart, and for a while he felt that he was not wrong, so he only nodded vigorously there. However, when Zhou Qiniang said this, she immediately shook her head and smiled: "However, it is a good thing that the emperor will get married as soon as possible." Listen to them, the emperor is addicted to fun all day long just hanging around in the West Garden, and rarely pays attention to government affairs, and after canonizing the queen and princess, I think they will persuade the emperor to be more diligent and diligent, so that the people of the world will be blessed. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and his radiant expression just now froze there, and he said dryly: "Seventh Sister really thinks that the emperor is such a person?" Zhou Qiniang was scrubbing the soft towel in the copper basin, and she didn't notice the change in Zhu Houzhao, so she said without looking back at this time: "I haven't seen the emperor again, it's just hearsay, that's why I think so." ”
"Then what if the emperor wants to make you a concubine?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qiniang was startled, her hand was too strong, and the water in a copper basin suddenly fell to the ground, wetting her skirt and shoes at once. At this time, she realized that she had overreacted, and immediately took a soft towel to wipe the water droplets on her hands angrily, and said without raising her head: "Nonsense, look at you scared me!" I'm not uncommon to be a queen and princess......" After a pause, she said angrily, "Besides, the queen mother assigned me here, I haven't seen the emperor once in so many days, you can say less about this kind of thing in the future, don't make trouble for yourself!" ”
When she raised her head, she found that Zhu Houzhao had disappeared, and this surprise was not trivial. She hurriedly chased out, and saw that the familiar figure disappeared around the corner, she called Xiao Zhu twice, and saw that the person did not react and was about to catch up and ask what was going on, but it could be seen that she was full of messes, but she could only give up for the time being, and hurriedly went back to the room to clean up, but she wondered very much in her heart.
Although this kid is usually irritable and temperamental, he has never been like this, what is going on today?
Others don't know what to do, but Latham and Watson, who followed Zhu Houzhao, have a little bit of understanding in their hearts. After all, he heard every word of the conversation in the room. He had the heart to persuade this little emperor who was very good to him, but every time he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he could only secretly complain that he was clumsy, and in the end he could only follow Zhu Houzhao silently.
"Addicted to fun...... It is not uncommon to be a queen and princess...... It turns out that in her eyes, the emperor of mine is such a person! ”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly stopped, slammed the willow tree by the Taiye Pool, and then lowered his head in despair. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling for himself, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Liu Jin running over.
"Oh, Your Majesty, a great show is going on on on the school field, and that day Ben plans to fight ten at a time! Hey, if we have such a skill on the battlefield, wouldn't a hundred of us be able to defeat a thousand Tartars? ”
Hearing Liu Jin say this, Zhu Houzhao, who was originally depressed, suddenly snorted and suddenly clenched his fists.
Addicted to having fun? When the time comes, I'll lead my troops into battle for you to see!
"Let's go, go to school!"
