Chapter 440: Princess Longting
readx;
Empress Zhang meant to ask Zhu Yueluo, but she had already explained in her words that the emperor had asked people to clean up an attic, and the things used were also prepared in the palace, and there was no possibility of refusing at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhu Yueluo bit her lip and seemed to hesitate for a moment, which made Empress Zhang angry and funny, this girl really didn't know how to raise a cautious surname.
Zhu Yueluo pondered for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the grace of the emperor and Niangniang." ”
That's what you can think of as a promise. Empress Zhang smiled, but at this time she had a good impression of Zhu Yueluo, although she didn't like to talk very much, and she was a little more cautious, but her demeanor was quite decent.
She couldn't help but say: "When you enter the palace, you don't have to be restrained, Duoduo is the same age as you, you are together, you also have a companion, yes, stay later, and dine with the palace." After that, he instructed the palace people, saying: "Make more Jiangxi dishes, the county lord of the province is not used to eating." ”
She was so considerate, but she taught Zhu Yueluo to be a little uncomfortable, and said busily: "Niangniang, I don't like to eat Jiangxi dishes." ”
Empress Zhang was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "The palace almost forgot, you are from Kaifeng, and it is said that the Shangshan supervisor also has a Kaifeng imperial chef, yes, ask him to cook a few more Kaifeng dishes." ”
Zhu Yueluo still shook his head: "Kaifeng dishes, I don't like them either, just follow my mother's wishes." ”
If it was someone else, maybe Empress Zhang would have been a little displeased, but Zhu Yueluo's resignation seemed to have a different meaning, Empress Zhang frowned slightly, and said, "Oh? This is strange, how can there be a reason not to like the food of your hometown, where is your mother from? ”
Empress Zhang is also a smart person, and when she asked about Zhu Yueluo's mother, she was probably thinking, presumably her mother's concubine was not from Kaifeng, so what she usually eats may not be Kaifeng dishes, and this little Nizi Xi's surname is mostly influenced by her mother.
Empress Zhang thinks like this, she also lives by herself, her ancestral home is in Shandong, so even if she enters the palace, she usually eats with a bit of Shandong's characteristics.
When Zhu Yueluo heard the word "concubine", her eyes were a little red, and she choked up after a long time: "The concubine of the courtier's concubine has long since passed away, and she was also from Kaifeng in the past. ”
Hearing this, Empress Zhang suddenly woke up, and suddenly remembered Zhu Yueluo's life experience, in fact, the background of the county lord of Longting had already been reported to her, but she didn't care much at the time, and now that she thought about it, she immediately guessed a few points, Princess Zhou died, presumably she was not happy for her concubine this week, and was later taken to Nanchang Mansion, King Naning was probably just to gain a reputation, and took people away, not necessarily how good it was to her, no wonder her surname was so unfamiliar, a motherless child, tossing around, Although it is said that it is a noble world and has no worries about food and clothing, but the family affection is weak, but it is also very pitiful.
Empress Zhang has no mother since she was a child, her father is a prisoner, after losing her wife, the surname Suo took her and her two younger brothers to Beijing to study hard, but she fell off the list several times, and her mind was all on reading, this Queen Zhang was young, relying on a little rice grain from the court to his father, and brought up the two younger brothers, and then made a trace, at this time, I couldn't help but say: "The child has no mother, I don't know how difficult it is, poor baba, I don't even have a confidant, no wonder you are so silent." ”
When these words came to Zhu Yueluo's heart, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, but there was no squeak.
Empress Zhang also caressed her back lovingly: "I don't have many heirs, but I see what you like very much, it's better to be like this, from now on, you will be my adopted daughter, and you can also come to the palace more often in the future to talk to me." She blurted out these words, and soon, she seemed to become firm, and seemed to have some persistence for this bold idea, and then said: "Where is the emperor?" ”
The palace said: "Your Majesty is inviting the high king to dinner at the banquet. ”
Empress Zhang said: "I will mention this matter to the emperor, Yueluo, are you willing?" ”
Zhu Yueluo heard that she was being taken in as an adopted daughter, but she was silent, she also had an experience of being adopted by King Ning once, but the situation was not good, not that King Ning was mean to her, but she entered King Ning's Mansion, although she was as rich and beautiful as King Zhou's Mansion, but the people around her were still indifferent. She also wanted to agree impulsively at this time, at least Empress Zhang was more kind than Princess Ning, but after being hurt once, how could she be willing to trust others at will, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Niangniang is very loving, and the courtiers keep it in mind, but I am afraid that I can't climb high." ”
Empress Zhang smiled and said, "What are these words?" Your surname is Zhu, I am the queen, King Ning can be adopted, can't this palace be impossible? Besides, this time you arrived in Beijing, you have to live in Beijing in the future, with this title, you can also move around more, it's all your mother's family, when you enter the palace, you are not as old as you, there are two brothers in your mother's family, there is nothing, this taste is not good. This is decided, I will tell the emperor later, and the emperor will definitely be happy. ”
Zhu Yueluo had no choice but to follow and said, "Xie Niangniang." ”
Empress Zhang bit her lip and smiled: "You want to call the queen mother." ”
Zhu Yueluo hesitated and didn't know what to do, but Empress Zhang couldn't help but smile: "Everything has to come slowly, yes, come here to eat later, now the palace will teach someone to send you to settle down first, and then I will call someone to invite you." ”
She made up her mind, so she called a eunuch and asked someone to lead Zhu Yueluo to her residence, and Zhu Yueluo got up to say goodbye.
When Zhu Yueluo left, the chief eunuch Jiang Gonggong, who was still standing on the side, couldn't help but say happily: "Congratulations to Niangniang for having another pearl in her palm." ”
Queen Zhang couldn't help but smile and said: "Just your sweet mouth, this girl, although it is different from the surname Duoduo, the palace still likes it, there are not many heirs in the palace, only a son and a daughter, no one under the knees, but it is also strange and pitiful, accept her, there will be a companion in the future, she is a quiet surname, presumably she can also sit still, in the future, you can call more into the palace to knees to Chenghuan, but it is also a beautiful thing, besides, it is originally a noble world, and there is nothing to be born, and the bones are still connected to the tendons." ”
Gonggong Jiang smiled and said, "This is, this is ......"
Empress Zhang pursed her lips, in fact, there was a reason why she didn't say it, after all, Empress Zhang is the mother of the country, and she naturally thinks more deeply than others, if she just likes it, she won't make such a promise easily, after all, she has a daughter, and it is enough to shake the government and the opposition, at least the Zongling Mansion will be busy for a while. The reason why she was willing to make this determination, in addition to what Fang just said, she also had a consideration.
The existence of Liu Chengfeng has huge benefits for Queen Zhang, in fact, others think that Liu Chengfeng is a tide file, in fact, the tide file is indeed not wrong, but Liu Chengfeng also has an identity, that is, the back party, Queen Zhang has some things to do with the foreign court, it is inconvenient to come forward, inform Liu Chengfeng, and always be able to do it properly, plus in Liu Chengfeng, I don't know what huge benefits have been obtained, only this one, Queen Zhang can't do without this Liu Chengfeng. Therefore, Liu Chengfeng continues to be favored, it is the interests of Queen Zhang, with Liu Chengfeng, the prince is taken care of, and the Zhang family can continue to be rich for several generations, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone?
But now, Liu Chengfeng wants to marry King Ning's adopted daughter, although it is only an adopted daughter, but after all, it is always implicated, and now although the emperor says that he doesn't mind, he trusts Liu Chengfeng, and it is impossible for him to be suspicious of Liu Chengfeng because of King Ning's little relationship. But some things are always impermanent, who knows who will chew their tongue in front of the emperor in the future, and what will the emperor think?
Men's affairs have always been unreliable, just like Liu Jian, how deeply trusted by the palace is, and now it's not over?
Queen Zhang saw it in her eyes, although she didn't say anything, but she also pinched a handful of sweat, if Liu Chengfeng fell, not to mention the prince, just say that most of the Zhang brothers who depend on each other have to finish playing, after all, the Zhang brothers and Liu Chengfeng are almost wearing a pair of pants now, and the palace is suspicious that Liu Chengfeng will more or less implicate the Zhang family, even if she is the queen, she can leave her surname and title, but I am afraid that such a dispatch as building a road is no longer possible, and the treasure building, Most of the dry stocks in Jubao Commercial Bank, which are enough for the Zhang family to be used up for generations, will most likely be empty.
Therefore, this queen's heart is like a mirror, Liu Chengfeng must not be involved in the slightest with King Ning, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any variables in the future. But now, with Zhu Yueluo as her adopted daughter, this matter has been solved. Since she was adopted in the palace, that person is the daughter of the dignified Empress Zhang, who dares to say that she is King Ning's implication? With this identity, Liu Chengfeng has rightly become his own family member since then, and he has no relationship with King Ning, and it can make Zhang Liu's two families more connected.
What Queen Zhang is doing now, in fact, is planning for the future, although she is now in the harem to make decisions and rely on the emperor, but the emperor's body is getting worse and worse, she has to plan for herself, she can endure some hardships, but the wealth of the Zhang family has to be saved. There is one more foreign aid in the foreign court, and with such a person as Liu Chengfeng, it is equivalent to an additional barrier.
As for the emperor's side, it is actually very easy to persuade, the emperor deeply hates King Ning, and now Liu Chengfeng wants to marry King Ning's adopted daughter, but I am afraid that there will be a pimple in my heart, so that everyone is happy, King Ning's daughter has become his daughter Zhu Youzhang, Liu Chengfeng can't be obediently dedicated to his life?
