"Drive, drive, hurry up, brother emperor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The little girl rode happily on Zheng De, riding a horse, no, it was a whip, not happy and happy. It's just that Zheng De suffered, and his knees knelt on the stone slab and felt a faint pain. Besides, I'm not really a horse, so you think I can run a lot.

But he said who this person was, the little girl was the lord of De'an, the daughter of his fifth emperor uncle Qihui King Zhu Youdi. Because King Qihui and the princess died early and had no children, the queen mother Wang took pity on her early and entered the palace alone. And the queen Zhang only has one son under her knees, Zhu Houzhao, so she is very fond of the lord of De'an. And in the last month that Zheng De has been in this world, he was bored and was also happy to see a cute little Lori, and he played with her when he had nothing to do. After going back and forth, the two got acquainted, which led to De'an becoming more and more dependent on Zheng De. There was nothing to pester, but in the end, it made him start to have a headache.

"De'an, don't mess around......"

A soft voice suddenly came, interrupting the two of them. Looking for prestige, a graceful and luxurious beauty came here surrounded by Liu Jin and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"Queen Mother, why are you here......"

The little girl got up from Zheng De with an excited face, and threw herself into the arms of the beauty like a bird.

"You, you, you're getting more and more nonsense......" The Queen Mother Zhang, who was originally strained in her face, couldn't pretend to be able to do it anymore. shook his head helplessly, "Zhao'er is a dignified tomorrow, the Venerable of Ten Thousand Vehicles, how can you ride on him?" ”

"Who let him lie to me?" The little girl pursed her lips with a disgruntled expression.

"You, you ......" Zhang shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, reasoning with a child is a pure waste of lips and tongues.

"The Queen Mother."

Zheng De glanced at the woman in front of him who looked to be in her early thirties. It was Emperor Xiaozong's empress Zhang, who was also his own cheap mother.

"The queen mother was enjoying the flowers in the palace garden, and when she heard Liu Jin say that you were here, she came over first." Zhang looked at his son, but he also clearly felt that he and this son had become less close than before in the past month, and he just came to greet him routinely every day. She didn't know the inside story, she really couldn't figure out what was wrong with her son, and she could only blame her son for growing up as an emperor. So when I heard Wang Yue say that the emperor was messing around with the lord of De'an here, I couldn't sit still and came over to take a look.

And Zheng De is always embarrassed every time he sees Zhang. After all, in terms of soul thought, he is Zheng De, not Zhu Houzhao, and he can't accept his cheap mother.

"I prepared some food in the palace garden, and accompanied my mother to the palace garden to sit down." The Queen Mother Zhang said a word, but Zheng De did not refuse, after all, it was his cheap mother.

On the Ruicheng Pavilion in the palace garden, Zheng De and the Queen Mother sat next to each other, some fruits and desserts were placed on the table, and the lord of De'an was taken aside by the palace maid to play.

Zheng De saw that Zhang's face was haggard and couldn't even cover the fat powder, so he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why is the queen mother's face so ugly?" ”

But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it. The husband had just died, and his face was so good.

Sure enough, it was a sad thing that touched my heart. Zhang's face darkened, his eyes suddenly turned red, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but take out a silk scarf and wipe it.

Zheng De really wanted to give himself a few big ear scrapers, mentioning what was not good, specifically mentioning other people's sad things.

Seeing that the woman in front of her was haggard, she must have been sleepless and tormented all night these days. And his only son by blood, in order to avoid embarrassment, has been avoiding her recently, leaving this poor woman to bear all this alone.

Thinking of this, Zheng De felt extremely guilty in his heart.

In any case, it is a fact that he took possession of his son's body. In this way, he can be regarded as indebted to Zhu Houzhao, no matter what, taking care of his mother, who is only left in this world, is the only thing he can do to compensate him. I also thought of my parents who were too late to honor because of a car accident, and the lonely and desolate life of being alone in the world. I couldn't help but blurt out with deep feelings, "Queen Mother, you still have me." ”

Queen Zhang looked up at the somewhat thin son in front of her, and her immature face flashed with firmness. I thought of the man who was also thin but had a body as wide as a mountain for him to rely on. The two figures gradually coincided at this moment, becoming clearer and clearer.

"yes, my son has grown up."

Zhang suddenly thought of such a sentence, and a rare touching smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, my family photo has indeed grown up."

Zheng De was stunned by Zhang's momentary style, and instantly became a little embarrassed, after all, this is his mother. Even though it was picked up cheaply, it can't be this expression.

Looking at the dessert on the table, he quickly changed the topic awkwardly, "Queen Mother, seeing that you have lost weight recently, eat some dessert." ”

Zhang smiled and nodded, "Zhao'er also eats." ”

It seems that he hasn't used it with his son for a long time, and Zhang didn't eat much, but just watched Zheng De eat with a smile all the time. The lord of De'an seemed very quiet at this time, and he was playing happily on the side.

Zheng De was stared at by Zhang's heart, "Why doesn't the queen mother eat it?" ”

Zhang said, "The queen mother is full. ”

"Uh......" Zheng De didn't eat much now, and he ate almost.

Zhang looked at him and suddenly remembered something, "I heard Wang Yue say, the emperor, you have been burning something in the Qianqing Palace for your father recently." Although it is rare to have this filial piety, but after all, your father has passed away, and people cannot be resurrected after death. ”

What is this, Zheng De couldn't laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, his act of destroying evidence was misunderstood, which he could never have imagined.

"Mother, the child will not be in the future."

It really won't be in the future, after all, I've let go of my worries. Although you still need to be cautious in doing things in the future, you won't have such a heavy burden in your heart as you have in the past month.

Zhang nodded, "In this way, I will rest assured that you are the queen mother." ”

"Speaking of which, the emperor is already fifteen, and you should get married on the sixteenth next year."

Big wedding? Zheng De was taken aback when he heard this. Although I am fifteen this year, I am only a virtual age, and I will only turn fifteen next year. In my previous life, I was still in school at this age, and it was too early to get married at this age, even earlier than early marriage.

He looked at his cheap mother with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly excused himself, "Queen Mother, my son, I'm still young, don't worry." ”

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!" Zhang grabbed Zheng De's hand and said earnestly, "Your mother only has you as a child, and you are the only male left in the royal family." Sixteen is also an adult, and it is time to reproduce heirs for the royal family. ”

"Sixteen-year-old adult? It's too early, and it's not even a year old. No, it seems that the age of majority in the Ming Dynasty had to be raised to eighteen years old. Zheng De thought about it, looked up and saw Zhang looking at him expectantly, and suddenly he couldn't resist it.

"......"

"It's nothing, but I'll discuss it with your imperial grandmother later. In a few days, I will choose a few virtuous and virtuous women to show you, and if you like whichever one you like, you will be selected as the queen and tell the world. ”

Zheng De suddenly remembered that in his previous life, there was a custom in his hometown, if an elder died, he must keep filial piety for three years without marrying. The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, and this custom must have been passed down since ancient times, and it is certainly okay to use it as a reason now.

"I want to keep filial piety for my father for three years."

Zhang didn't know why his son suddenly said this, but he still nodded with relief, "The emperor is so filial, your father will be happy in heaven." ”

"If you keep filial piety for three years, you must not marry or marry." Zheng De said his thoughts and looked at Zhang with a worried expression.

Hearing this, the Zhang family was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Zheng De, "Why does the emperor not want to get married so much, you must know that reproduction is the road of humanity." Although you must not marry or marry for three years of filial piety, your father and the emperor will only have one child for you, and the royal heir will wither. Even if you make an exception once, your father won't blame you. ”

Zheng De turned his head a little weakly, "It's not that the sons don't want to get married, it's that my father died young, and I always feel sad when I think about it." I especially want to keep filial piety for my father for three years, and I don't marry or marry to relieve my worries. Speaking of this, thinking of his parents who died young, I couldn't help but have a trace of sadness in my eyes.

All this was seen by Zhang, and she didn't know that Zheng De was sad for his parents in his previous life. Instead, he was infected and his eyes were slightly red, and he wiped it with a silk handkerchief, and his heart suddenly softened when he looked at his child.

"Three years later, the child is only eighteen, and he is still young, so why not." Afraid that the Zhang family would not agree, Zheng De said again.

Zhang reluctantly smiled and said, "The emperor has such filial piety, and the queen mother is very pleased, how can she not agree?" ”

Seeing that Zhang's agreed, Zheng De immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, marrying at such a young age, and marrying someone who has no feelings for him, he can't accept it under any circumstances. Of course, three years later, it is estimated that I will marry a person who has no feelings, after all, there was no free love in ancient times, although it is still a little unacceptable, but after all, it will be three years later, and things may not turn around after three years.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zheng De stood up and respectfully saluted Zhang.

Zhang smiled and waved his hand, "You kid, why are you still polite to the queen mother, sit down." ”

Zheng De, who let go of his worries, completely let go, sat down and listened to Zhang's talk about some parents' shortcomings, and said some jokes in the middle that made Zhang's laugh. Seeing that Zhang's cloudy face finally bloomed with a bright smile, Zheng De was also infected, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "Zhu Houzhao, I will help you take good care of your mother, after all, she is now my mother no matter what." ”

During this morning, Zheng De accompanied Zhang's and did not leave until after lunch.
