Zhang Ru opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

Cui Keji frowned slightly, and his fingers tapped a few times on him, and then Zhang Rucai regained his ability to speak: "Oops, it hurts me to death." ”

"I also know the pain, why didn't I see you think about the result when I decided to provoke Wantong." Cui Keji slapped Zhang Ru on the head and said with a cold face.

His tone was cold, but there was love in his words.

Zhang Ru said with a hippie smile: "Master, it's not that you are always here, and nothing will happen anyway." ”

"If you are not good at learning, you dare to get an axe in the class, and after you go back, you will practice for me, and next time you are so embarrassed, you will not come to the rescue as a teacher." Cui Keji stood up coldly, glanced at Mu Bin, and then turned to leave.

Zhang Ru helped Mu Bin into an inn, and waited until Mu Bin recovered before leaving. From beginning to end, Zhang Ru ignored the white-clothed scholar named Wang Shangbin.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and soon, two months have passed.

Cui Keji will let people urge Zhang Ru to enter the country from time to time, and each time the person sent is a little stronger than the previous one, if Zhang Ru wins, it is fine, if he unfortunately loses, then it will be Cui Keji's personal teaching.

Who could have imagined that a fifteen-year-old boy carrying a hundred pounds of iron sand on his back would run like a tiger in the huge Forbidden City, and who would have to imagine that after the early autumn, Zhang Ru would have to soak in the icy spring water for two hours before he could go to bed shivering?

Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicinal materials in the palace, with the prescriptions written by Cui Keji, plus the precious Chinese medicine in the palace, although Zhang Ru has had a very hard time in two months, he has not suffered any substantial damage.

Every day he has less time to study and more time to practice martial arts, and the only thing that can't be shaken every day is to go to the Empress Dowager Zhou who lives in Renshou Palace to say goodbye.

On this day, Zhang Ru, who got up and ran around the inner palace for a long time, finished bathing, and hurriedly ran to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

"Oops!" The person who was hit turned out to be a woman, and after being hit by the reckless Zhang Ru, she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Zhang Ru to help the woman on the ground up, the voice of the Empress Dowager Zhou came from the pavilion on the side: "Xiaoyao, what's wrong?" ”

Then, a head emerged from the lush bushes, and it was Zhu Youjiao, whose face was red.

He winked at the overwhelmed Zhang Ru, and trotted to help the woman on the ground, who was about twelve or thirteen years old: "Huzi, you're late." ”

Zhang Ru pointed to the beads of sweat on his head, and then pointed to the woman who was supported by Zhu Youjiao, and said in his heart If I hadn't come late, where would I bump into this little girl.

"Imperial grandmother, it's okay, Brother Tiger is here and accidentally bumped into Xiaoyao." Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhang Ru with bad intentions.

This look is very familiar to Zhang Ru, every time he is soaking in the well, Zhu Youzhu throws a poisonous snake below. He said badly in his heart, and was about to speak, but he saw that the gray-haired Empress Dowager Zhou had already walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Ru's blushing face, the Queen Mother, who was not too old, teased: "Little Qian, you are a lot late today!" ”

After coming to Daming for a few months, this old queen mother is the best person for herself, she has no blood of the Zhu family, but her old man really treats herself as a grandson.

Therefore, no matter when, no matter what happens, as long as he is in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he is always respectful.

Zhang Ru's face turned red and wanted to explain, but Zhu Youzhu shouted: "Ah, it's all bleeding." ”

Following Zhu Youjiao's gaze, I saw that the palm of the little girl who was called Xiaoxiao was red, and the blood had stained her white silk scarf.

At this time, Zhang Ru was even more embarrassed, he knew his strength, and he recklessly knocked a weak little girl into the air, and only such a small injury was considered a big life for the girl.

The little appearance of the pear blossom with rain made him feel a lot of guilt in his heart in an instant, and anxiously, he took a few steps to the little girl's side, and grabbed the little girl's hand regardless of his identity. Before he could escape the gold sore medicine in his arms, the soft palm quickly pulled his big hand.

He was stunned for a moment, and his right hand holding the gold sore medicine froze in the air.

Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily: "Xiao Qiu, Xiao Yao is still a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and you are also a half-grown child, so you don't know how to be proportionate." ”

Zhu Youzhu added oil and vinegar to the side: "I think Brother Hu is moved by his heart, look at his eyes when he looks at Xiao Yao, they are almost straight." ”

Zhang Ru glared at Zhu Youjiao, and then arched his hand at Xiao Yao, who was full of red clouds: "Little girl, I'm really sorry, Zhang Ru dreamed of a wave." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand: "Okay, it's not a big deal, Lan'er, take medicine for Xiao Yao, his medicine is configured by Cui Keji's little bastard himself, and it is more effective than the medicine of the imperial doctor." ”

The pretty little palace maid who had served the Empress Dowager Zhou for four or five years immediately took the medicine bottle in Zhang Ru's hand and ran to the side to give medicine to the little girl. When her fingers touched, Xiaolan shrank as if she had been electrocuted, and then she took the medicine bottle with her orchid fingers.

All of this was seen by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and Zhang Ru, who was a partial-side party, was like a second monk, scratching her head and saying to herself: "I'm not a tiger, why are you so afraid of me." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou beckoned to Zhang Ru: "Little Monkey, come here, let grandma take a look." ”

Zhang Ru walked over in a daze, and under the scorching gaze of the Empress Dowager Zhou, it looked extremely unnatural.

"Tell grandma, why are you late?" Empress Dowager Zhou caught on to his lateness.

Zhang Ru looked a little flustered, and muttered: "Grandma, it's nothing, Huzi is just late." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou asked in disbelief: "Really?" Don't lie to grandma. ”

Zhang Ru smiled dryly: "How dare you deceive grandma." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was furious: "What a little monkey, now I don't even blink my eyes when I lie." Grandma heard that you were a little unwell last night! ”

Zhang Ru was shocked, and glanced at Zhu Youzhu very embarrassedly, he was indeed unwell last night, this is this physical discomfort but unspeakable physical discomfort.

Do you want him to say that he ran away last night in front of a few little palace maids who are twenty-eight years old and a little Lori who is only eleven or twelve years old?

Empress Dowager Zhou's words made him immediately understand what was going on, and he didn't know if the small Nene, which he had cut out of Su embroidery, was now soaked in the wooden barrel in the room. Perhaps, it has become a magic weapon for a certain palace lady to curry favor with the Queen Mother.

"This, Grandma Rongyu, I. I." I opened my mouth several times, but I couldn't explain it, and I stammered for a long time, and there was nothing else but me, me, and me.

Mrs. Zhou's color was a little dark: "Okay, it's all a normal reaction, what's there to be ashamed of." I remember when you first entered the palace, you were still a child, and you were so cute, and you were so big in a blink of an eye. Time flies! Grandma is also old. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Grandma's longevity is boundless, where will she be old." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou pulled Zhu Youzhu into her arms, stroked his hair kindly, and showed a melancholy look in her eyes: "Idiot, if you are a human being, you will grow old one day, and grandma is not a monster, how can she not be old." But seeing your children grow up healthily, grandma is just old, and it's worth it. ”

Over the years, the two people who have relied on the support of the Empress Dowager Zhou can't help but feel sad, and even Zhang Ru, who came to the Ming Dynasty inexplicably after wearing it for hundreds of years, can't help but be affected by the memory of the original Zhang Ru, and his eyes are wet when he hears the words.

Xiao Yao, who had already changed the medicine and wrapped the wound with gauze, followed behind Xiaolan timidly and appeared in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou again. She handed the bottle containing the best gold sore medicine to the Empress Dowager Zhou and said a blessing: "Thank you to the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily: "Silly boy, thank you, it's all because the old body wants you to enter the palace to accompany me, and you suffered such an unwarranted disaster." ”

Zhang Ru once again bowed his hand to the little girl: "A thousand mistakes, they are all the boy's fault, please forgive the girl." ”

"Huzi, this girl is very good, you are still your own family, you and Youzhu are like brothers, if you want to make up for it, why don't you think she is a righteous sister!" Empress Dowager Zhou said intentionally or unintentionally.

Surname Zhang? Is he about the same age as Zhu Youjiao? Is this little girl in front of her the only woman in history Zhu Youjiao?

If that's the case, then what is the purpose of the Queen Mother telling me all this? Could it be that you want me to make a match?

That's not right! If you match, the Queen Mother can match it herself, so why let me get involved?

Don't.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ru's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and after thinking for a while, there was only one answer he could find, the queen mother meant that this girl was Youjiao, don't get involved with it, you kid.

After figuring out the joint, Zhang Ru smiled bitterly in his heart, I just don't have any taste, and I won't fall in love with a little girl with no breasts and no ass!

Empress Dowager Zhou's voice pulled him back from his thoughts to reality: "Huzi, don't you want to?" ”

Zhang Ru hurriedly said: "How can Huzi not want to, it's just grandma, Huzi's parents are dead, if you recognize this little girl as a righteous sister, you will inevitably be a little wronged by her." I think Youzhu is not young anymore, the little demon girl is a good match for Youjiao, it is not as good as grandma, let Youzhu marry her. ”

"Presumptuous, little monkey, grandma doesn't need you to teach you how to do things." Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and shouted: "The bigger your mouth, the oilier you are, when do you have to talk to the emperor and let you go outside to suffer a little." ”

Zhang Rushen nodded approvingly: "Grandma is very right, and Huzi is about to go crazy." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, seeing that you are annoyed, hurry up and practice, if you dare to be lazy, let Cui Keji's little guy clean you up." ”

Zhang Ru's face changed slightly: "Grandma spare her life!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand impatiently, still with a smile on her face: "Words and deeds are formless, roll." ”

Zhang Ru borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and quickly left the boundary of Renshou Palace.

After leaving, he immediately realized that he could not stay in the palace any longer. Not to mention that now that I have grown up, it is not very convenient to be in the palace, just say that the attitude of the Queen Mother today is a big problem.

He decided to find time to go to Emperor Chenghua for an official position, and took the opportunity to move out of the palace, so as not to be seized by someone with a heart and kill himself.
