Chapter 111: Marriage

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Yunmo. ”

Yunmo's body trembled, knelt on the ground, and said, "The slave is here." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Among all the maidservants, Huang'er likes you the most, and I also like you the most, so when Huang'er goes south, I only let you follow, I am relieved, but will you do this to show me?" ”

Yunmo didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Yunmo is guilty." ”

Yunmo knew that Empress Dowager Wu seemed to be very talkative, but it was best not to talk back to her, saying what to admit, even if it was wrong, Empress Dowager Wu knew afterwards, and she would definitely be compensated. If you talk back, you will definitely be punished heavily, even if it is wrong, you must make a mistake. And Yunmo was also ashamed in his heart, feeling that he couldn't stand the Queen Mother. Naturally, he honestly confessed his guilt.

"Queen Mother, for the sake of the child's face, spare Yunmo." Zhu Houhuang said. Zhu Houhuang looked behind Empress Dowager Wu and found that an extremely beautiful girl did not seem to be from the Yongwang Mansion. I couldn't help but take a few more looks.

And Xu Lan also had a strong curiosity about Zhu Houhuang being praised by his second brother, and couldn't help peeking at it, but the result was no coincidence, and the eyes of the two collided together. Suddenly, each other's eyes flashed, and they all avoided more.

Empress Dowager Wu saw it in her eyes. glanced at Zhu Houhuang fiercely, and wanted to reprimand Zhu Houhuang loudly, but she rolled her eyes and saw the people behind Zhu Houhuang, all of whom were Zhu Houhuang's subordinates. "It's not good for me to be in front of Huang'er's subordinates and not give Huang'er face." Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Wu snorted coldly and said, "Get up." ”

Zhu Houhuang and Yunmo got up, Zhu Houhuang introduced the people behind him to the Empress Dowager Wu one by one, and the Empress Dowager Wu respected Tang Yin the most, after all, Tang Yin's talent and fame, even if he was far away in Beijing, he had heard of it. The rest of the people are not very much in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Wu, and they don't blame the Empress Dowager Wu, look at the talents under Zhu Houhuang, a Wu Xingzhi is just an account room at the moment, Li Liangqin is just a thief with an army, and it can't be compared with Tang Yin at all, that is, Xue has let the Empress Dowager Wu look high, but it is not high to anything.

Needless to say, turn over the wind and wash the dust. Because Empress Dowager Wu is a female guest, subordinates at all levels, she just showed her face, and the person who really picked up the wind for Empress Dowager Wu was Zhu Houhuang alone.

The mother and son sat opposite each other and set a table of good dishes. It was made by the cook brought by the Empress Dowager Wu. Zhu Houhuang smelled the familiar smell and salivated for a while.

Since the expansion of Dongyong, Zhu Houhuang has really not eaten a good meal. Although the food eaten every day is also a small stove, Zhu Houhuang has not done anything special, and there is not much difference from what some officials eat by Tang Yin and Wu Xingzhi, it is nothing more than Yunmo's craftsmanship is better, and the ingredients are the same. It's been a long time since I've seen such a chef's handiwork.

Zhu Houhuang had just said a few words to the Empress Dowager Wu when he was attracted by the dishes on the table. I forgot to say something, and I can't wait to get straight to it, and eat the food in a big gulp.

If Zhu Houhuang dared to eat like this when he was in Beijing, Empress Dowager Wu would immediately teach Zhu Houhuang a lesson and let him know what the rules were, but at this moment, Empress Dowager Wu only felt distressed.

It's really distressing, as soon as she looks like this, Empress Dowager Wu knows how many days Zhu Houhuang hasn't eaten such a banquet, and when he was in Beijing, when the family was most embarrassed, what he ate every day was similar to today. How could Empress Dowager Wu, as a mother, not feel sorry for her children. Empress Dowager Wu barely moved her chopsticks, so she let Zhu Houhuang eat most of it.

Zhu Houhuang was half-full, only to find that Empress Dowager Wu had barely eaten, and said, "Mother, please." ”

Empress Dowager Wu put down the chopsticks and said, "Huang'er, let's go back to Shandong, you have a good relationship with your imperial brother, go to plead for mercy, and go to Shandong to go to Tibet." Even if it doesn't work, then let's go back to Hengyang is much stronger than this place. ”

"Mother, haven't I told you this question several times?" Zhu Houhuang was a little depressed, and said: "The child doesn't want to be a vassal king who eats and waits for death, but wants to do some business, the child has been out of Beijing for more than half a year, if he is sealed to other places in this half a year, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything?" But the child has already planned three cities, and in a few more years, there will be three counties under the rule of the child. These are all listening to children, and I don't know how many times stronger than those vassal kings who eat and wait for death, and can't even command a single official---"

Zhu Houhuang wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager Wu, so he naturally picked it up and said it, and Zhu Houhuang never said these words to others, and he talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Empress Dowager Wu seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, she was not listening to what Zhu Houhuang said specifically, but looking at Zhu Houhuang's expression. Zhu Houhuang was the kind of eyebrows he had never seen before, and his expression was flying.

Zhu Houhuang has darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight during his time in Dongyong, but at this moment, Zhu Houhuang looks more energetic than before.

"Hey. Huang'er's mind may not be shaken. Empress Dowager Wu thought to herself. As a mother, she never wanted Zhu Houhuang to create any achievements, nor did she want Zhu Houhuang to achieve any career, she just wanted Zhu Houhuang to live a stable life, but seeing Zhu Houhuang's current appearance, she was both proud and distressed.

Proud of his son, compared to any other vassal king, there are a few of the current Ming vassal kings who dare to go to the battlefield, and Zhu Houhuang is in the Northern Xinjiang War, life and death twice, and in the barren land, to create a different foundation, although she does not know such a foundation, is it good, is it bad, but it is much better than those who have nothing to do, eat and wait for death.

"Well, I'm not going to stop you. But there's one thing you have to do for me right away. Empress Dowager Wu said.

"Queen Mother, please speak." Zhu Houhuang said: "As long as you can do it, the child will definitely do it." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "You get married." ”

"Marriage." As soon as the chopsticks in Zhu Houhuang's hand were loosened and fell on the plate, Zhu Houhuang hurriedly grabbed them again and said, "Queen Mother, what kind of family is it, I am very busy here, where is this idle effort." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "What are you pretending, you have sent people to me, I don't know what you mean?" Isn't that what you mean to test me? I agreed, you should get married. Empress Dowager Wu sighed and said: "It's good for Yunmo to follow you, but after all, he is a slave, and some things are not good for you, you look at yourself, what you have made yourself look like." If I don't find you a woman, you won't be able to see anyone. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Wait, Queen Mother." Who did I send to you, why don't I know? ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "Wasn't that Xu Lan sent by you?" ”

"Xu Lan?" Zhu Houhuang thought silently in his heart. said: "Is it Xu Dong's sister?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu sneered: "Do you still say that you don't know?" Empress Dowager Wu looked at Zhu Houhuang's appearance, and she understood a little in her heart, and said secretly: "It's not that I misunderstood." "Xu Lan is a girl, Empress Dowager Wu has something to say, it's not good to ask directly. Thinking about it at the moment, Xu Lan has never admitted that it has anything to do with Zhu Houhuang, but a woman's specialty is to mess around, and said: "I don't care, Xu Lan is good, you hurry up and marry me, if you are not satisfied with Xu Lan." You find it yourself, anyway, you have to get married this year. “

As soon as Empress Dowager Wu remembered the news from the previous paragraph, the news that Zhu Houhuang almost died, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." Your father, you don't care for yourself as long as you have any blood or bones. Okay, it's okay if you don't cherish it, leave me a big grandson first, and in the future, you can do whatever you want? I don't care, and I don't care who you marry, anyway, the matter of marrying is nailed. ”

When Zhu Houhuang saw Empress Dowager Wu like this, he slandered for a long time, but he didn't dare to say it.

Although Zhu Houhuang was a four-year-old soul who wore this body, Empress Dowager Wu raised him since he was a child. The relationship of more than ten years is not fake, Zhu Houhuang has long regarded him as a mother. Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to refute, so he had to say yes, and said secretly in his heart: "Drag it out first, and then talk about it, when you get busy, who still cares about this matter." ”
