I only heard Zhu Houzhao snort, and said quite majestically: "Yongchun, there are no rules at all, and I don't know how to salute when I see me."

The delicate girl's voice said: "Forget it, the imperial brother must be willing to talk about the rules, and the queen mother is still less careful, you are mine all day long, never called a lonely widow, what kind of etiquette did I see?" ”

Yang Ling stood behind the screen, heard Zhu Hou call her Yongchun, and said in his heart: "Emperor Hongzhi has one son and two daughters, this is Hongzhi's youngest daughter Princess Yongchun, I heard that she is only 11 years old, no wonder she is so naughty, the other is naturally Princess Yongfu, what are these two little girls doing?" ”

Princess Yongfu is thirteen years old, two years younger than Zhu Houzhao, but she is dignified and gentle, very polite, the little sister is naughty, she also smiled and ignored her, and still gave Zhu Houzhao a courtesy, and performed formal court etiquette: "The imperial sister Yongfu has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

Zhu Houzhao has never liked court etiquette, although he reprimanded his little sister, he actually liked her easy-going attitude, and then saw that Princess Yongfu really gave a big gift, so he had to sit down and accept this ceremony, and then raised his right arm like a marionette, and said dryly: "The royal sister is exempt from etiquette and flat, you never come to Chunfang, what is it today?" ”

Princess Yongchun hurriedly said: "Brother Prince, the harem is making a lot of trouble now, you go quickly."

Princess Yongfu suddenly coughed, interrupted her and said, "You all retreat, we have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes!" Gu Da was very alert, hurriedly agreed, waved his hand, and withdrew from the door with the two little eunuchs, and gently closed the palace door.

Princess Yongfu sat next to the soft couch and said with a worried face: "Brother Huang, go to the harem quickly, your father has always loved you the most, and you may be able to calm your father's thunderous anger." ”

Zhu Houzhao was confused for a while, and said suspiciously: "Why is my father angry?" ”

Princess Yongfu said: "Just now, at noon, Li Daxue impeached Shou Ning Hou, saying that he*, widely occupied private land, and occupied nearly 1,800 hectares outside the nearly 4,000 hectares of fertile land given by the royal family, not to mention competing with the people for profit, and instigated his family to buy and sell 1.2 million yuan of salt in two Huai privately, in addition to occupying the people's houses, and forcibly asking for the daughter of Qinglou as a concubine, as a result, he quarreled with Shou Ninghou in court, and his father was angry and put both of them in prison, alas! ”

"Huh?!" Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, how could it be like this? He was stunned for a moment, then moved his eyes and said: "Both of them have been imprisoned, it seems that someone has impeached the Marquis of Shouning before, and my father has never been so angry, what happened this time?" ”

Princess Yongchun smiled, jumped up and grabbed his arm and said: "Master Li made a moment of loss of speech when he accused Shouning Hou's relatives of dictatorship, and there were words about the glory of the Zhang family, and Shouning Hou took the opportunity to accuse him of being a subordinate and slandering the queen as Zhang's family, which is a great disrespect and should be punished."

Master Li was furious, snatched the golden gourd warrior's sleeping melon hammer and chased Shou Ning Hou on the Golden Palace, he was an old man of nearly sixty, where could he beat Shou Ning Hou, but Shou Ning Hou took the golden gourd and kicked him twice, his father was furious, saying that they were rude in front of the king, so they went to prison together.

Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh when he heard it, he curled the corners of his mouth and said, "How can this be?" Hehe, cough cough, this", he said, the corner of his eyes slipped behind the screen, but there were two princesses sitting outside, how dare Yang Ling respond.

Princess Yongfu glanced at her gloating little sister, and said worriedly: "Brother Huang, my father's body has always been not very good, and now Li Dongyang has been sent to prison, Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Liu Daxia led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to kneel in the hall to plead, and the father and emperor angrily avoided entering the harem, but the queen mother heard that Shou Ninghou was arrested, and cried to my father and the emperor, and I and the imperial sister saw that the situation was not good, so we came to see you."

Although Zhu Houzhao was naughty, he respected his father the most, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up and said: "I said, my father never allowed any woman to enter the East Palace to teach, why did you come today, I will go to the harem, you."

As soon as he said this, someone in the distance shouted: "Your Majesty is coming to the East Palace, and the prince is coming out to greet you!" This is the eunuch in charge of singing in the palace, the voice is loud and long, Princess Yongfu jumped up and panicked when she heard it: "Oh no, my father is on fire, if I see that we don't listen to the will, I'm afraid I'll be even more angry, this and this."

Princess Yongchun pulled the imperial sister and said, "Quick, hide first, my father may be here to check the imperial brother's homework, and we will come out when he leaves."

Saying that the little princess Yongchun pulled the imperial sister to hide behind the screen, Zhu Houzhao couldn't stop it, the two of them had hidden behind the screen, waited for a while, and saw a sound of surprise behind the screen, Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, the palace door opened, Emperor Hongzhi walked in, Zhu Houzhao saw it and quickly leaned down and said: "The son sees the emperor."

"Get up", Hongzhi waved his hand and glanced at Miao Kui, who was accompanying him, and Miao Kui hurriedly led someone to tiptoe out and gently closed the palace door.

Zhu Houzhao got up and quietly looked at his father's expression, only to see that his father's expression was peaceful, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes, not like he was angry, so he was relieved, and at the same time a little strange.

As soon as the door of the palace was closed, Hongzhi no longer had the emperor's shelf, he casually sat next to the bookcase, patted the brocade couch and said, "Emperor, sit!" ”

Zhu Houzhao sat down next to his father, and it was inconvenient for him to mention what had just happened in the harem, so he had to ask: "My father just left the Wu Dynasty, why don't you take a break, look at you, you're sweating again."

Hongzhi glanced at him kindly, and said with a smile: "Your mother is vomiting with your father, and your father is hiding from you, hehe, these two scholars are busy with the affairs of the Spring Festival, have you ever put your homework on hold?" ”

Zhu Houzhao pretended to be surprised, and said strangely: "The queen mother and you are vomiting, why is this?" ”

Hongzhizhao glanced at him funny, and suddenly said with a whole face: "Huang'er, don't you really know?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's heart was shocked, and when he saw his father's heartfelt eyes, his forehead was oozing sweat.

******************************

Yang Ling hid behind the screen and listened to these princes and princesses talking about state affairs as usual, the queens of the emperor's house and the mother of the world turned out to be the same as ordinary couples, he was listening interestingly, so he heard the shouts outside that the emperor was coming, and then there was a fragrant wind, and the two little beauties in palace clothes hurriedly flashed behind the screen, Yang Ling couldn't help but be stunned.

At a glance, I saw a girl in a bright yellow palace skirt, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle demeanor, only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a towering black cloud bun on her head, and a snow-white and charming little face under the cloud bun, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and her eyes were full of autumn water.

Another little girl is still a yellow-haired girl, wearing a purple palace skirt, a small melon seed face, although she is young, but she looks lovely, her figure is as petite as a pendant of a fragrant fan, she couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw Yang Ling, but when she saw her sister wanting to be surprised, she quickly covered her cherry lips and shook her head gently at her sister.

Princess Yongfu was covered by her sister, only revealing a pair of big black eyes, she blinked, signaled to her sister, Yongchun let go of his hand, the two turned their heads, and two pairs of bright big eyes stared at Yang Ling. Yang Ling made a bitter face, first made a gesture, then pointed outward, then pointed to himself, and finally arched his hand, with a sad face like a pantomime.

The petite Princess Yongchun couldn't help but sneer, quickly covered her mouth, and glared at him with big eyes. Seeing his appearance, Princess Yongfu couldn't help but smile in her eyes, at this time Emperor Hongzhi had already entered the house, and the two of them were afraid of being discovered by their father, so they hurriedly leaned in again, and this time Yang Ling was closer.

Yang Ling and Yongchun didn't care much, but Princess Yongfu was already a thirteen-year-old girl, and it was the first time she was so close to a man for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel a little cramped. At that time, the Great Defense of the Rites and Rites was in a relatively embarrassing period, some Confucians no longer had as strict requirements for men and women as they had been since the Song Dynasty, and others were strict with retro, and the requirements for Rites and Religions became more and more stringent, such as Hai Rui, just because his five-year-old daughter received a cake from a man, he thought it was too polite, and forced his daughter to starve to death to the full name, which was a little crazy.

Princess Yongfu Royal Celestial, although her surname is generous, but it is really uncomfortable for a young man to hide in one place like this, and besides, she is in the palace, and there are very few men she has really seen. At this time, I peeked at it, and this person was dressed as a waiter next to the prince, handsome and tall, with a straight nose and a square mouth, very handsome, and his pretty face couldn't help but turn redder, and he didn't hear what was said outside in a daze.

Yang Ling was accompanied by two little beauties, and with his vision for several lifetimes, he was not fascinated, and the emperor and the crown prince had seen each other, so their identities might not be able to shock him. He confessed his sins to the two princesses, and when he saw that they did not dare to speak up, he relieved himself, pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside, only to hear the whispering outside for a while, and then Emperor Hongzhi laughed, but he and the prince said something but did not hear.

It turned out that the crown prince confessed to Hongzhi that he had collected evidence and instructed Li Dongyang to impeach the emperor, but he was still a little righteous and did not recruit Yang Linglai, Hongzhi laughed when he heard it, he smiled and said: "Emperor, Li Dongyang is a scholar of the dynasty and a shrewd person, you can hide these little tricks from him?" But there are some things that are okay to do even if we both know what's going on."

The emperor laughed and said, "There are some things that are inconvenient for me to speak, so the courtiers should come forward to find out." Emperor's son, the encroachment of the royal family of the noble relatives in the court is becoming more serious, is it not only the Shouning Hou family, the father and several scholars are preparing to get rid of some malpractices, and the royal family of the royal family is restricting the acceptance of land donations and encroachment on the people's interests."

He glanced at the crown prince approvingly, and said: "It's just that my father has not been able to find an entry point to smoothly implement the new policy, so as not to attract the opposition of the entire imperial family and the meritorious heroes, and my father is worried about this." Hehe, if it weren't for his father, Emperor Li Dongyang, although he was a direct minister, he might not dare to snatch the golden melon and show his fists and feet on the Golden Palace, I just borrowed his hand to teach Shouning Hou a lesson."

Hongzhi frowned and sighed: "I have always been kind and generous to the emperor's relatives, but recently, the two brothers of Shouning Hou have indeed been too presumptuous, and it is good to lock him up for a few days and frustrate his spirit."

Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded: "It turns out that my father and father have already meant to punish him, I said, how did Li Dongyang's courage become so big, it turned out to be from his father's instructions, but why did his father arrest Master Li together?" ”

Yang Ling was secretly surprised when he heard it in the back, he really underestimated Li Dongyang, and even more so on this fat emperor who was a little obsessed, and now it seems that he doesn't know who was used as a gunman by whom.

Hongji patted his hand and smiled: "Silly boy, if this is not the case, wouldn't your queen mother be even more unwilling to give up?" State affairs are easy to handle, if your mother does not forgive, I will also have a headache."

He smiled faintly as he spoke, and said, "But the emperor has always been playful and never cared about state affairs. Gu Da used those few people to blindly please you, and made some jugglers mess around in the East Palace, I didn't know, this time you suddenly cared about the people's suffering, and took great pains to make a passerby's advice, but that Yang Shi read out the idea? ”

Princess Yongfu was also leaning against the screen to eavesdrop on the conversation between her father and the crown prince, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and looked sideways at Yang Ling. She slid the screen with a beaded hairpin, squeaking loudly, only Hongzhi and his son spoke in the room, surprisingly quiet, as soon as he heard this voice, Hongzhi immediately said sharply: "Who?" Dare to eavesdrop on me talking to the prince? Come out to me! ”

Yang Ling looked at the two princesses, only to see Princess Yongfu looking at him with a red face, Princess Yongchun's dark eyes rolled, stretched out a slender finger, nodded at Yang Ling, and pointed outside. Yang Ling pointed to his nose with a bitter face, and the little princess nodded very elegantly, smiling very pleasantly.

Yang Ling looked at Princess Yongfu helplessly, only to see her apologetic face, but there was also a pleading look in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: "These two little princesses are really, eavesdropping on your father's conversation is not a big deal, at most I will be reprimanded twice, why do you want me to top the tank?" ”

He didn't know that Hongji was only very lenient to the prince, and the discipline of the princess was still very strict, and in the eyes of a child who was afraid of his father, his father's reprimand was of course a very heavy punishment. Yang Ling had no choice but to walk out, he didn't dare to raise his head, hurriedly walked two steps, fell to his knees and said: "Chen Yang Ling has seen the emperor, the emperor has arrived, and Weichen can't dodge, so he has to hurriedly avoid behind the screen, I don't want to startle the holy car, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”
