After explaining the matter, Wang Chengen saw Zhu Ping'an's solemn expression and knew that he needed time to digest these things, so he didn't say anything else, but walked to the door and told the eunuch to call someone.

After a short time, the eunuch brought in a man dressed in the uniform of the general of the Great Han Dynasty in brocade clothes, about thirty years old, with a slender figure, a short beard on his chin, and he looked energetic.

The man entered the duty room, and after giving Wang Chengen a salute, Wang Chengen led him directly to Zhu Ping'an. "Lord Zhu, there is no need to worry, you have the full support of the emperor behind you, just let it go!"

Zhu Ping'an agreed, but his mind was still muddy, and he was still in shock after hearing about it.

Wang Chengen pointed to the person who had just entered the door, "Lord Zhu, this person is our family's henchman, his name is Guo Chai." I have been on an errand in Jinyiwei, and now that you are going to Shandong to take up a job, he will be by your side, and a qiē message can be sent to him to contact our family! ”

Zhu Ping'an knew that this was the spy placed by his side, but he had no choice but to agree.

Looking at the sun outside, it was already past noon, Wang Chengen ordered the eunuch to get some food, and said to Zhu Ping'an with a smile: "Lord Zhu, forgive me, please use some snacks here to satisfy your hunger, Your Majesty ordered, and our family will accompany the adults to meet the queen mother in a while!" ”

Zhu Ping'an's head suddenly became as big as a fight, what is this called! After staying in the palace for a day, my whole body was sore, but I still had to cheer up to deal with all kinds of people in this palace, which was really physically and mentally exhausting!

No way. Zhu Ping'an could only obediently obey Wang Chengen's arrangement, and simply ate something and used some tea in the duty room.

Wang Chengen and Zhu Ping'an sat opposite each other, but Zhu Ping'an always felt that Wang Chengen's slender eyes were constantly looking at him, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart, but fortunately, he didn't feel any malice from this gaze, Zhu Ping'an felt that this kind of eyes was full of a kind of elder's love for his children and nephews, which made Zhu Ping'an feel a little warm at the same time, but also worried in his heart.

A moment later, the eunuch outside the door came to report. said that someone outside asked to see Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen stood up. He bowed slightly at Zhu Ping'an, "Master Zhu, let's go!" ”

Zhu Ping'an respectfully followed Wang Chengen out of the duty room, and saw an old man standing on the steps not far away. Dressed in a purple cotton robe. The jade belt around his waist and the various colored rings on his fingers glittered in the reflection of the sun.

Wang Chengen lowered his voice and said, "This is Jiading Bo Zhoukui." Although this person rarely intervenes in the court, he loves money by nature, and only gold and silver are in his eyes. But there is no trace of human affection, you must be more careful when you have fellowship with him! ”

Wang Chengen's quiet words made Zhu Ping'an stunned inexplicably. What does this Chongzhen's henchman eunuch mean? Are you reminding yourself? But he didn't know him, so why did he help him like this?

Talking and laughing, Zhou Kui moved his fat body to greet Wang Chengen. There was a lot of laughter between the two of them, and they seemed very close.

Wang Chengen pulled Zhu Ping'an over, "Uncle, this is the newly promoted deputy chief soldier of Shandong Dengzhou Mansion, Zhu Ping'an, and the ...... who wants to accompany us to meet the queen mother today!" ”

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, Zhou Kui had already jumped over with an arrow step, and grabbed Zhu Ping'an's hand with both hands, and Zhu Ping'an was taken aback by the speed of his figure. "Oops, it turned out to be Lord Zhu, the old man Zhou Kui has been famous for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really a young hero!"

Saying that, towards Zhu Ping'an is squeezing his eyes.

has cooperated with Zhou Kui for so long, but it was the first time they met, and the two put on a look of familiarity at first sight in front of Wang Chengen. Zhou Kuiqi is a person, there is no need for Wang Chengen to remind him, Zhu Ping'an also knows what is going on. A person who can push his own grandson to the enemy who destroys the country and destroys the family at the time of life and death can show his character.

But Zhu Ping'an was still a little hesitant, and couldn't help but ask in person, "Uncle, father-in-law, there is still something unknown about the lower officials, but I don't know, why did the queen summon the lower officials?" ”

Zhou Kui laughed, "Anyway, it's a good thing, you will know if you go, you will know when you go!" ”

The two of them were killed without showing their mouths, and Zhu Ping'an was also helpless, anyway, from the words and words of the two, this should not be anything, so I had to see the move.

After coming to Kunning Palace, the internal officials entered the interior to report, and after a while, they summoned three people inside.

The furnishings in the Kunning Palace are extremely simple, in addition to the female officials and internal officials who are waiting, the solemn sitting is a woman about thirty years old, Zhu Ping'an knows that this is the current queen Zhou, and immediately bowed to the worship. Empress Zhou is also dressed in cloth, and even the decoration on her head is extremely rare, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen's requirements for the harem are also extremely strict, and now the entire harem is simple and beautiful.

And out of the corner of her eye, there was a teenager standing next to Queen Zhou. Looking at the bright yellow service on the young man's body, Zhu Ping'an knew that this should be the current Royal Highness of the Crown Prince, Zhu Cihong.

Sure enough, Zhou Kui opened his mouth first, "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here, and the old minister has seen the ceremony!" ”

Zhu Cihong hurriedly stopped, "Grandpa doesn't need to be polite!" ”

Wang Chengen introduced Zhu Ping'an to the queen and the crown prince Zhu Cihong. But as soon as Zhu Ping'an's name was mentioned, Zhu Cihong's eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Ping'an and couldn't help nodding. How Zhu Ping'an got on the line with his father Zhou Kui, Queen Zhou is not very clear. But since Zhou Kui and Zhu Ping'an joined forces, they have really done a beautiful thing. This Zhu Ping'an Yunwen Yunwu couldn't help but make his own military exploits, and he also dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Tian Hongyu, Yang Sichang and others in the court, which was also equivalent to indirectly helping the Queen of Zhou's family.

Now, Tian Guifei's youngest son Huaiwang is seriously ill, and Tian Hongyu has to die down because of the affairs of Yang Sichang and others, and the situation in the harem has also stabilized.

Seeing Zhou Kui and Zhu Ping'an, Queen Zhou's mood couldn't help but feel much better, and after giving the seat, she and Zhou Kui started a family routine, but Wang Chengen was waiting respectfully by her side.

Speaking of the prince's intention, Queen Zhou couldn't help but chuckle, Zhou Kui observed his words, and hurriedly asked, "But is it for the prince's choice of concubine?" ”

Empress Zhou smiled and nodded, "The crown prince has grown up and has his own ideas, so it is inconvenient to come to the palace and say that he wants to add a favorite woman to the list of concubines!" ”

Empress Zhou turned her head and asked Zhu Cihong, "Which family is the lady of the prince just talking about?" ”

Zhu Cihong stared at Zhu Ping'an viciously, only then did he come to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head, "Queen Mother, let's talk about this later!" ”

Queen Zhou was not happy, "Your grandfather is rarely able to enter the palace, the prince might as well say it, and let your grandfather take a closer look!" ”

Wang Chengen looked at the prince expressionlessly, and a subtle sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

The eunuch behind Zhu Cihong thought that his master didn't dare to say it because he was shy, and immediately picked up the words, "Back to the queen mother and Uncle Jiading, the prince is the daughter of Mr. Mu Yanzi, who is now studying in the East Palace!" ”

Zhu Ping'an was stunned on the spot, raised his head, and looked at the prince for some reason.

Zhu Cihong's face suddenly turned red, his facial features became a little distorted, and he put a foot on the eunuch's ass, "I want you slave to talk more!" ”

Empress Zhou immediately sank her face, "Prince! ”

Zhou Kui smiled wryly, "This is a good thing, there are things that need to be done by the old man, just let Niangniang and His Royal Highness tell me!" ”

Wang Chengen coughed lightly, walked up to the queen and gave a deep salute, "Qi Yu Niangniang, this matter is not appropriate!" ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly jumped up, "You old thing, what nonsense!" Miss Mu is also a clean white family, what's wrong? ”

"Presumptuous!" Queen Zhou's face was a little unbearable, Rao is she has always boasted that her son is dignified and polite, but today's appearance really surprised her and disappointed her to the extreme.

Wang Chengen was still Gujing Wubo, and said to the queen and the prince: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Your Highness." At today's court meeting, His Majesty has already promised to marry in the court, and he will marry Mu Yuling to this Lord Zhu! ”

"What did you say?" Zhu Cihong instantly fell into a state of madness, and swooped over and grabbed Wang Chengen's placket, "Old man, what did you say?" It's impossible, it's impossible for my father to make such a will, it must be some conspiracy and trick that this Zhu Ping'an has done! I'm going to go to my father and persuade him to take back his fate! ”

"Your Highness, calm down!" Wang Chengen did not resist, "Your Majesty has already issued an order, all the ministers of the cabinet, the celebrant and the eunuchs are all present!" ”

Queen Zhou fixed, "Since this is the case, then follow the will of His Majesty, the prince chooses a concubine, among which there are thousands of ladies, and the prince will choose another one from them!" ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly cried, "No, this palace is just Miss Xu Mu's family, and other people and others can't look down on this palace!" ”

Zhu Cihong saw Zhu Ping'an sitting next to him in a daze, and immediately pounced, "It's all you, why do you want to win Miss Mu's family." As the master of the East Palace, this palace will now order you to choose a wife to remarry and go to your father to ask for guilt! ”

Zhu Cihong was already in a big mess at this time, and what he said was upside down and illogical. made Queen Zhou furious, "Come on, don't send the prince back to the East Palace, and blame him for thinking about it behind closed doors, no one can let him out without the edict of the palace!" ”

At this time, the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao had just stepped into Kunning Palace, and she was also startled when she saw Zhu Cihong yelling at Zhu Ping'an like crazy.

Zhu Ping'an stabilized his mind, slowly stood up, and saluted the prince, "Return to Your Highness." Chen and Mu Yuling grew up together since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, and they don't marry if they are not gentlemen! His Royal Highness's order, please forgive Weichen for not obeying his orders! ”

A group of eunuchs ran into the palace in a panic, and pushed Zhu Cihong, who had been carried away by anger and jealousy, but the scolding never stopped until it was getting away.

Queen Zhou sat back in her seat with a pale face and looked around, "Today's events, no one is allowed to spread them, and those who violate them will be killed!" ”

Everyone was terrified and agreed. (To be continued......)
