While the imperial court showed great ambition and Zhou Yuji was full of glory, the Liu family also continued his special treatment.

Just when Mrs. Liu was about to faint in the heat, she finally reached her destination. Liu who got off the sedan chair was a little surprised, in front of him was a palace-like building with carved beams and paintings, no matter the house and the surrounding scenery are all extremely exquisite, in this exquisite at the same time, this palace also faintly reveals a kind of majesty.

Several maids had disappeared, and only a few female officials were left around them, and these female officials gracefully led Liu into a side room of the palace building.

"Please accept the etiquette of Madame, and the Queen Mother will summon Madame."

A female official spoke, and Liu also understood, this tossing and turning turned out to be the Queen Mother wanting to see her.

Mrs. Liu is very good at dancing guns and sticks, and she can shoot strong bows in archery, but she is not very good at etiquette, especially the etiquette posture of these female officials and professors, which is simply a living crime, especially in this hot day.

This is a royal favor, and Mrs. Liu has no courage to refuse. Tired and tired, several female officials soon despaired, this Hou Yefu is simply a village woman, a basic etiquette has to be learned for a long time, as for reaching the standard, don't even think about it, Mrs. Liu's movements are as stiff as wood, and several female officials want to die.

Several times someone had come to urge her, and several of the female officials in charge of teaching etiquette had completely given up on their dreams, and the noble marquise was not saved.

Cining Palace in Nanjing.

Emperor Hongguang's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Zou, has been waiting for too long, and all kinds of refreshments have been tasteless, urging several times, and the person who wants to wait finally appeared.

"The humble woman Liu meets the Queen Mother!"

Entering the hall, Mrs. Liu saw an old woman sitting in the first place, this old woman was kind and well-dressed, but she was not gorgeous. Look at the posture and the seating. It must be the emperor's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Zou, and Liu hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit.

"No courtesy, the mourning family has heard for a long time that Mrs. Fu Chenghou is gentle and virtuous, and I finally saw it today!" Mrs. Liu's movements were too stiff, but the Queen Mother didn't care, she smiled: "This is Concubine Sun Guifei, and Mrs. Fucheng Hou has also come to see it." ”

Not far from the Empress Dowager Zou sat an extremely beautiful young woman, this young woman's costume was extremely gorgeous, with a beautiful face, which made the Liu family ashamed.

"The humble woman Liu visits the noble concubine."

The young and beautiful Concubine Sun also smiled: "Madam, please excuse me." ”

"Sit down." Empress Dowager Zou also understood. This Mrs. Fu Chenghou was a little nervous, and at the same time she didn't seem to be very proficient in etiquette, so she hurriedly asked someone to sit for Liu, and then served tea.

"Let's all go down!" Seeing that Liu sat down a little stiffly after returning the salute again, Empress Dowager Zou waved her hand, and there were three people left in the room.

Liu is not good at words, but Empress Dowager Zou is very kind and good at communicating, and the topic was quickly opened by her. With a common language, Liu soon lost her restraints, and the large palace was much cooler than the outside, and she spoke and sat freely.

Soon. Empress Dowager Zou talked about this battle along the topic, and kept praising Zhou Yuji's heroic martial arts, followed by Zhou Huchen.

"Fucheng Hou and his wife teach their children well, and Xiaohu is a rare general in my Ming Dynasty. The future is immeasurable, and the mourning family likes it very much! ”

"Little play, the Queen Mother, you praise it!" Liu doesn't think so. This is also called teaching children in a good way? I am afraid I can't count how many fights Zhou Huchen fought, and recently he has been even more lawless, and he actually killed two Qincha, and the only thing that is remarkable is his combat ability, which is said in the past.

"Mrs. Fucheng Hou, Bixia has a princess who is about to be canonized, and she is ready to be canonized as Princess Yongqing, I heard that Xiaohu has never married a wife, why don't you let Xiaohu still have a princess, and it is better to canonize it as soon as possible, what do you think of Mrs. Fuchenghou?"

Shang is the meaning of marrying, this is a special title of the royal family, the princess can only be called a princess after canonization, the Empress Dowager Zou is not drunk this time, she actually fell in love with Zhou Huchen.

Princess, only the emperor's daughter can be called a princess, haven't heard that the emperor has a princess? How did a princess come out now? Besides, Zhou Huchen already has a fiancée, and he is very satisfied, how can he agree.

But the Queen Mother personally proposed, this is to give marriage! Unable to refuse, Liu's brain began to buzz, she was really dizzy this time.

Looking at the stunned Liu, Empress Dowager Zou showed a kind smile again: "The mourning family knows that Xiaohu has a wife who has not passed through the door, but it is not suitable to withdraw from the marriage in order to assist the reputation of Chenghou, so it doesn't matter, there is a history of concubines to marry, and she can marry in the future, and it is not a grievance against her." ”

The son is a concubine, and he doesn't care about letting Zhou Huchen marry his original fiancée, he can blatantly have another concubine, this royal favor is boundless, there is no precedent Liu doesn't know, but she knows that refusal seems to be impossible.

"The princess is a lady, her name is Shuhuan, she is gentle and virtuous, Duanli is a perfect match, and Xiaohu is an absolute good match, this Xiaohu mourning family also likes it very much, Bixia is also full of praise, don't shirk Mrs. Fucheng!"

Empress Dowager Zou is still kind, this Yongqing princess must be thrown to Zhou Huchen, and the emperor is also carried out.

Liu didn't dare to refuse, so he could only drag it out: "The humble woman will go and inform Mrs. Tai, and let her mother-in-law"

"Mrs. Tai came from the mourning family, and the mourning family immediately issued an edict to invite Mrs. Tai to come to Nanjing to live, and also to accompany the mourning family, which can be regarded as coming to Beijing to enjoy the blessings. As for Fuchenghou, Bixia came forward, and it is estimated that Fuchenghou will not refuse. ”

This offensive is wave after wave, this kind Empress Dowager Zou is so powerful that it is simply impossible for the Liu family to parry, as for refusal, don't even think about it.

Emperor Hongguang really has no daughter, his only daughter has died many years ago, and the princess who is about to be canonized is actually the daughter of Zhu Youzhen, the king of Yixuan. Zhu Youzhen, King of Yixuan, is the grandson of Zhu Yijun, King of Yixuan, and the son of Zhu Changhu, King of Yunxi. In the winter of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Ciyan, a king of Jing in Zuihou, died of illness, and in the first month of the second year, Zhang Xianzhong captured Qizhou, and the Jing domain perished. Zhu Changhu, the king of Yunxi, the king of Jing, fled to Fujian after the fall of the Jing Domain, while Zhu Youzhen fled to Nanjing.

Zhu Youzhen took his daughter with him when he ran to Nanjing, and this year happened to be the year of Jilu. The prince's daughter is called the county lord, and the county prince's daughter is called the county lord, which means that the emperor's daughter is a princess, and this Zhu Shuhuan is actually a county lord.

However, Zhu Shuhuan was lucky, because of the need, the advice of the great eunuch Lu Jiude made her a princess. For political purposes, Emperor Hongguang listened to Lu Jiude's advice, and he quickly recognized Zhu Shuhuan as his daughter before Zhou Yuji came to Nanjing, since she was the emperor's daughter, Zhu Shuhuan was of course a princess, which was called Jin Feng.

To put it bluntly, this princess is a product of politics, a product of trying to envelop Zhou Huchen's father and son.

These political and court methods are very easy for the royal family to use, although Liu is a super noble lady, but unfortunately, she doesn't know the connotation of these things, and she can't deal with them at all, the only thing she can do is to agree temporarily. But the consequence of a temporary promise is that it's not a joke – it's impossible not to say yes in the future

Soon after the Liu family walked out of the palace gate, the entire Nanjing city had already spread; Taking the opportunity of this great victory, in order to show the royal favor, the emperor Bixia specially gave marriage to the eldest son Zhou Huchen, and Zhou Huchen will still be the princess of Bixia, that is to say, Zhou Huchen will become the first concubine of the dynasty.

It's not a leak, it's deliberate. This rumor is equivalent to kidnapping Zhou Yuji, in order to take care of the royal face, in order to stabilize the court and the people, Zhou Yuji will have no room for maneuver. (To be continued......)
