Although there is Taiye Pond Qionghua Island in the West Garden, there are countless strange flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts, but except for Zhu Houzhao and other emperors who love to run out, most emperors of the Ming Dynasty often only go to the Qiongyuan behind the Kunning Palace.

Qiongyuan is outside the Kunning Gate of the north gate of Kunning Palace, and the garden is a rockery that is piled up by Suzhou famous craftsmen with Taihu Lake stone, the name is called Duixiu, and a small octagonal pavilion is built on the rockery. If you stand in the pavilion, you can have a clear view of the scenery of Qiongyuan, what Wanchun Pavilion, Qianqiu Pavilion, Yuxuan, Qingwang Pavilion, Jinxiang Pavilion, Yucui Pavilion, Le Zhi Zhai, Quliu Pavilion, Four Shrines, Flower Viewing Palace...... All the pavilions and pavilions are in full view, coupled with all kinds of strange flowers and flowers, in the palace where it is difficult to find trees everywhere, Qiongyuan is the most colorful one.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who was at the foot of the rockery named Duixiu, wearing a small black gauze hat and a cyan chest and no flower collar shirt, was coaxing Zhou Qiniang with a salivating face: "Just for a while, and I won't delay your business!" You don't know if you don't see the scenery of this Yujing Pavilion, and you don't want to come up when you go up. There is no one here, and if you miss this village, you won't have that shop. ”

"You will go to Kunning Palace to camp all day, and you are not afraid that Gonggong Li will punish you!" Zhou Qiniang is really helpless about Zhu Houzhao, to say that people do what they say, and they have assigned themselves an errand that everyone in the palace envies, although it is not what she wants the most, but she is naturally grateful in her heart, but the little guy is obsessed with the kraft candy energy, but she can't bear it.

At this time, Zhengse reprimanded Zhu Houzhao, and when she saw that people didn't care at all, she had to soften her tone and said, "Little Brother Zhu, it's not that I don't want to go up to see it." I am a new palace maid in Kunning Palace, I always have to know my duty, this Yujing Pavilion is a place for the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager to enjoy the scenery, how can I go up? If I am seen by others, it is small for me to be punished alone, and if I am seen that you are here, will I not be punished with you? ”

Zhu Houzhao was so crying and laughing by Zhou Qiniang that he secretly thought that he had let Liu Jin and others guard the gates of Qiongyuan, but now except for the two of them, there is not a single ghost here. Thinking of this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly turned around and climbed up the rockery steps. When Zhou Qiniang came back to her senses, she found that Zhu Houzhao had already gone up, startled, she lowered her voice and screamed twice, seeing that people didn't listen to her at all, she hurriedly grabbed her skirt and gritted her teeth and chased after her as soon as she stomped her feet. When it was easy to climb to the highest Yujing Pavilion, she was already sweating and panting, and when she saw Zhu Houzhao leaning against a pillar and smiling at herself, she couldn't help but be angry, and stepped forward to train her again.

"Be careful for people to see, come down!"

Where does Zhu Houzhao care about this, he dragged Zhou Qiniang to the side with one hand, he pointed down and said: "Seventh sister, look, that is the fish pond, the koi in it are all good species that are difficult to find in the world, and the pavilion above is Fubi Pavilion...... Oh yes, there's a fish pond here! He said and dragged Zhou Qiniang to the other side, pointing to the small pavilion built in the middle of the fish pond and connected by curved bridges on both sides, and said, "That's Chengrui Pavilion, the fish at the bottom are the most interesting, they will reunite when they see someone feeding, and the most greedy ...... gone."

Zhou Qiniang couldn't help but be dragged by Zhu Houzhao to look at this, and then dragged to look at that, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, but although she was the oldest among the palace maids who were selected this time, after all, she was just over sixteen years old, and suddenly saw such a beautiful scenery, and before she knew it, she had forgotten those rules, and she only felt that her eyes were a little busy. Fortunately, she was self-controlled, and in the end she chose her surname to ignore Zhu Houzhao's gushing introduction, and dragged him down after seeing a loophole.

"Seventh sister, I haven't explained it to you yet, there is still the Qin'an Hall directly north......"

"What Qin'an Palace, I just know that if you continue to mess around, then you will not only be beaten by the board!"

dragged Zhu Houzhao and walked a few steps, Zhou Qiniang was wearing embroidered shoes after all, and it was more inconvenient to go down the steps than to go up the steps, so she let go of her hand unconsciously, and walked down carefully with her skirt in both hands, just when she looked at the road where there was still more than half of her head left, she was stunned, and suddenly a hand was stretched out next to her to hold her arm steadily. When she turned her head sideways, she saw Zhu Houzhao with a well-behaved face, and she couldn't help but swallow the scolding that came to her mouth, but she still couldn't help but glare at him.

"If you do this again in the future, I won't dare to see you again!"

"Don't...... Seventh sister, you dissipate your anger, I will listen to you in the future, and I will never dare to let the surname Hu Lai again! Zhu Houzhao hurriedly smiled and made amends, and muttered softly there, "I didn't think that you just entered the palace, and you have lived in that kind of aggrieved place for so long, so I took advantage of the fact that there was no one in Qiongyuan to take you to relax!" ”

"I appreciate your kindness, but you also have to think about yourself. How many little fathers-in-law in the palace want to be blue-eyed by Gonggong Li, but you are already in the master of ceremonies, and you should work hard to be motivated. If you come to such a place recklessly, if you are seen and sued, you will be pleased? What's more, you sued Father-in-law Chen before, and I don't know how many people you offended......"

Seeing Zhou Qiniang's fingers hurrying to his forehead, Zhu Houzhao was submissive on his face, but his heart was happy. It was easy to wait until Zhou Qiniang's lesson was over, he hurriedly helped people to continue to walk down, and finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain, seeing Zhou Qiniang sweating profusely, he had to pay compensation again and again...... When he sent Zhou Qiniang to the empty west gate of Qiongyuan, he still didn't move, and finally sighed when he disappeared.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"

This low voice made Zhu Houzhao excited, and when he turned his head, he found that Liu Jin didn't know when he slipped out, and couldn't help but hum angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry, be careful that she sees you, and I will give up all my efforts!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave maid will let people watch it, if she turns back, she will report immediately." Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's radiant appearance, knowing that the little emperor was sincere, and couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was ahead of Li Rong, and immediately diligently helped Zhu Houzhao to walk through Qiongyuan to the east gate of Qiongyuan, and said in his mouth, "The emperor can rest assured, the slave maid has asked Gonggong Gao and Rong Shangyi to say hello, and will definitely take good care of Miss Zhou. ”

"You can do it!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and when he went to the gatehouse at the east gate of Qiongyuan to change his clothes, he deliberately went around in a big circle to return to Chengqian Palace. As soon as he sat down and drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, a little eunuch suddenly slammed the curtain into the room, knelt on the ground and said angrily: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”

Poof-Zhu Houzhao was frightened, and took a sip of tea and sprayed the little eunuch in the face. recognized that it was Ruisheng, and saw the pitiful appearance of the person kneeling on the ground, he put the teacup aside and scolded with a smile: "How many times have I taught you, don't be reckless in doing things, this is also thanks to Liu Jin next to you, so someone else will not scold you bloody?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sin, it's a small one to forget ......"

Seeing Ruisheng kowtow, Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's face that didn't look like anger at all, immediately drank him, and said angrily: "It's not the first day by the emperor's side, why are you still so brainless!" What the hell is going on? ”

Ruisheng raised his eyes and glanced at the little emperor, and then he calmed down, and then said in a low voice: "The prince of Shouning Hou snatched a person out of the Dongchang factory, and at this moment he was kneeling in Dong'anmen, saying that he wanted to ask the emperor to administer justice!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Houzhao, who thought that there was something wrong with those ministers, was stunned all of a sudden. He glanced at Liu Jin, and saw that Liu Jin was also full of astonishment, so he immediately stood up: "Don't talk nonsense, take me to see!" ”

Although the outside of Dong'an Gate is not as crowded as the Chengtianmen, and there are not as many people in and out as there are the left and right gates of Chang'an, it is also an important road in the palace, and the people of Shouning Hou Shizi are too eye-catching, and a passer-by will glance over there, that is, they dare not watch. Even the guards of Dong'anmen stood straight, but their eyes were glancing over there.

In the face of these curious eyes, Zhang Zong, the son of the Hou of Shouning, said that he was already kneeling so that his knees, waist and legs hurt everywhere, if it weren't for the breath in his heart, he would have been unable to support it a long time ago. I don't know how long it took to endure, he finally saw a group of people walking out quickly from Dong'anli Gate not far away, although the person in front of him couldn't see his head and face clearly, but just by looking at the dress, he knew that it was the current Zhengde Tianzi. So, he pressed his hands on the ground almost without thinking and bowed down deeply: "Please ask the emperor to be the master of the ministers!" ”

If it was only said that Hou Shizi of Shouning had escorted someone to come and kneel at Dong'anmen, Zhu Houzhao would not have come over in such a hurry - he hit the Dongchang factory and snatched someone out, he couldn't have imagined that this kind of action could be done by Zhang Zong. At this time, he walked quickly to Zhang Zongshuo, he looked at it with his hands behind his back for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "Get up!" Anyway, he is also my cousin, and even Dongchang dares to fight it, and he can be regarded as a good man, don't look so useless now! ”

Zhang Zong said that he heard Xu Xun say that Zhu Houzhao loves hard bones, and there didn't seem to be much anger in the little emperor's tone at this time, so he immediately got up and mustered up the courage to look at the emperor. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao looked at it for a while, he raised his chin and nodded slightly, he no longer hesitated, and told the whole thing in one go, and pointed to Zheng San who looked like a puddle of mud on the ground at the end.

"This is the guy who did that for my father. In order to find him, the family searched the entire capital, and also went to the Shuntian Mansion Yadaxing County Ya and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to report to all of them, who knew that people would be in the East Factory! Your Majesty, Dongchang detains such a person but keeps it secret, this is obviously ill-intentioned! ”
