Hearing that Zhu Youzhen came to ask for peace, Zhang Yan greeted her from Kunning Palace, "Fifth brother, you are injured and have just recovered, it is better to be careful, please be in a hurry." It is also a face of concern, but Zhang Yan's concern seems to be different from Wan'er's, as if the elders are both concerned and helpless for the younger generations.

After Zhu Youzhen visited the imperial sister-in-law, he looked up at Empress Zhang, who was highly evaluated in history and committed suicide and martyrdom when the city of Beijing was broken, was young, at most the age of high school students in later generations. "The imperial sister-in-law takes care of her on weekdays, please give the imperial sister-in-law a peace, and report her safety by the way, so as not to worry about the imperial sister-in-law in her busy schedule." Zhu Youzhen is telling the truth, Zhang Yan, as the head of the Six Palaces, has to assist Zhu Youxiao in managing the harem on weekdays, and has to fight against Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian. The mother's family is not a high-ranking official, and she can't support herself at a critical moment. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, harem women cannot come from high-ranking official families, that is, to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, Zhang Yan naturally does not get any support from her mother's family.

"The fifth brother has grown up and is becoming more and more able to speak." Zhang Yan smiled, her face was bright, she had the elegance of a southern woman, but also was dignified and decent, maybe this is the style of motherhood! Perhaps in order to give Zhu Youzhen a sense of home, she did not wear a phoenix dress and a phoenix crown, but an ordinary palace dress. A water-red silk blouse, faintly reflecting the dazzling brilliance, the waist was tied with a light blue ribbon, the hem of the ribbon swayed in the air with her movements, and under it was a white silk dress, the lower edge of which just touched the ground, half covering the soft-soled embroidered shoes. "I'm patronizing and talking, the fifth brother is in good health, sit down!" She doesn't call the palace, which makes Zhu Youzhen feel very kind.

"Sister-in-law Xie." Zhu Youzhen sat down on a mahogany chair with the guidance of the palace maid, and another palace maid brought him fragrant tea.

Zhang Yan found that Zhu Youzhen was a little cramped and uneasy, so she wanted to adjust the atmosphere, she thought that Zhu Youzhen's body was just healing and his energy was low, where did she think that Zhu Youzhen was the first to enter the palace?

"Is there anything wrong with Wan'er's usual care of the fifth brother?" Calling the monk a bald donkey, of course Zhang Yan would not be so tasteless, she knew that Wan'er took very good care of Zhu Youzhen, and the girl in the room was not an ordinary maid who could take responsibility, and the happiness of her life was in the master. Although Zhang Yan smiled and swept around Zhu Youzhen and Wan'er's faces, without the slightest intention of punishing Wan'er, Wan'er was still frightened, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhu Youzhen was also taken aback, although he didn't get along with Wan'er for a long time, he could feel that Wan'er took good care of him, if someone assassinated Zhu Youzhen, I believe that Wan'er would not hesitate to pounce on the murderer with her weak body. "Sister-in-law Xie is concerned. Wan'er took good care of her brother, and even thought of things that her brother didn't expect. After speaking, she glanced at Wan'er inadvertently, and Wan'er blushed and smiled gratefully.

Zhang Yan also glanced at Wan'er, with a faint smile on her face, as if she had an understanding.

Before you know it, the sun is almost overhead.

"Your imperial brother said, come over for dinner today, and the fifth brother will stay and eat together! Your royal brother is very concerned about your injuries! Since the fifth brother has recovered, it will also make your royal brother happy. Zhang Yan still smiled faintly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be more talkative than her small mouth.

Zhu Youzhen was about to talk to Zhu Youxiao about going to the barracks, he was a prince and a minor, without the approval of the emperor, he couldn't enter the barracks at all, and Zhu Youxiao had dinner, just looking for an opportunity, so he naturally wanted to stay, "So, thank you for the imperial sister-in-law." ”

"The royal family is thin, and the emperor doesn't even have an heir...... There are only two brothers in the royal family, so you should be closer and closer. The peace on Zhang Yan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by chagrin and grievance.

"Imperial sister-in-law......" Zhu Youzhen knows a little about the affairs of the royal family with the experience of two lives, Zhu Youxiao is his eldest brother, and his second, third, fourth and sixth brothers all died when they were minors. Zhang Yan has also been pregnant several times, and she has had an "accidental" miscarriage under the conspiracy of the eunuch party. Thinking that his adoptive mother also died of depression under the blow of the eunuchs, Zhu Youzhen didn't realize that his eyes were fierce, but he disappeared in a flash......

Zhang Yan waved her hand, didn't let Zhu Youzhen continue, and a flat smile regained on her face, as if she had come out of pain. Years of palace infighting have made her develop the habit of restraining her feelings, even when she thinks of the child who died young, the pain on her face is only for a short moment.

There were only three people for lunch, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen, and Zhang Yan. Many palace maids, including Wan'er, stood behind the side, ready to share the worries of their masters.

Although Zhu Youxiao also loves this underage younger brother, as the eldest son, he has always been worshiped by the ministers, who knows how to care about others, but Zhang Yan, who was born in a small jasper, is careful and meticulous, and always takes care of him as an eldest sister-in-law, "What kind of books does the fifth brother usually read?" ”

"Returning to the emperor's sister-in-law, it is nothing more than "The Mean" and "University". Recently, I have fallen in love with the long and short sentences of the Song people. "The Eight Shares of Scholars is the foundation of the civil system of the Ming Dynasty, and as a prince, learning must not be sloppy. But in addition to studying, there are some personal hobbies, which is understandable.

"Long and short sentences? Is it Li Qingzhao's, or Su Shi's? It can't be Liu Sanchang, right? Is our fifth brother pregnant? Hehe, Your Majesty, catch Ming'er to give the fifth brother Zhang Luo a family affair. Zhang Yan said to Zhu Youxiao, but her eyes were staring at Zhu Youzhen, smiling like a flower. In the Forbidden City, Zhang Yan is lonely, she faces the chaos of Wei Ke's party alone, and Zhu Youxiao trusts Wei Zhongxian and his nurse Ke Yinyue very much, unless it comes to her safety, Zhu Youxiao generally favors Wei Ke's party. Only today does she feel at home. She has no children, and unconsciously, she sprinkled her motherhood on Zhu Youzhen.

"Where, the imperial sister-in-law smiled. The younger brother not only read the long and short sentences of the Song people, but also wrote a poem and made up the repertoire. Zhu Youzhen almost made a big face, so he had to divert his attention.

"Sing it, then listen to it? Why don't you let Wan'er sing? "The current queen is not at all like the master of the six palaces, but more like a childlike little sister, today, she really feels that she is at home, a qiē palace secret fight, and put aside, tomorrow's wind will blow tomorrow.

"Wan'er can't sing it, this song is suitable for men to sing, so it has momentum." Zhu Youzhen was in a hurry, since Zhang Yan's curiosity gave him this opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Then the fifth brother will personally go out and let your imperial brother see what momentum you have." Zhang Yan is even more curious, what momentum can a minor have?

"Yes, Imperial Sister-in-law. Wan'er, pour a cup of tea. Zhu started the posture by searching, but he didn't know what effect his song would have.
