Chapter 580: Confession and Secret Conspiracy
Bing Xue is smart, how can she not know the purpose of these princes to get close to her, she naturally can't let the gifts given by these princes be seen by the emperor and the queen.
Therefore, Xu Zhaohua untied the crystal pendant from his waist and put it in his sleeve before entering the house and saluting Queen Zhou: "I have seen the queen mother!" ”
"Get up, it's all a family, you don't have to be like this, come and sit on my side, and let the queen mother take a good look at you."
Queen Zhou's doting eyes on Xu Zhaohua made Princess Changping on the side a little envious.
Xu Zhaohua is naturally grateful to the queen Zhou in her heart, but she also knows that she is a eunuch with a special identity, although the queen is a concubine is not related to the government, but she is the biological mother of the three adult princes, so she has to pay attention to keeping some distance.
Queen Zhou also seemed to understand her, and did not blame her for her silence and restraint, but still smiled and talked to Xu Zhaohua, asking some short words from the parents.
"I heard that the sincerity Hou said that your father did a good job in Xu Xianqing in North Korea, and even His Majesty praised your father as a person who did great things, and now the cabinet has promoted him to be the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the next time he changes cabinets, I am afraid that there will be hope to enter the cabinet."
Empress Zhou suddenly mentioned Xu Zhaohua's father, and Xu Zhaohua clearly remembered that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen had mentioned that he wanted them to forget about their clan and family, so at this time, she only nodded slightly, and did not say anything else.
Queen Zhou knew that the affairs of the court were very delicate, and she didn't say anything after mentioning it.
And at this time, it was Huiwang Zhu Cihong who walked in, with a smile with a strong spring smile:
"But isn't it, Mr. Xu is from Tanhua, talent is not to say, this time it is because he successfully persuaded the Korean state, so that my Ming Dynasty has a naval base overseas, my father was very happy at that time, said that Mr. Xu gave him a big gift, even the elder of the high pavilion said that he can be in charge of the foreign affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and he will not be able to run into the cabinet in the future."
Zhu Cihong had already changed his name to Xu Zhaohua's father Xu Xianqing as Mr. before his words, and expressed his good feelings for Xu Xianqing in front of Queen Zhou and Xu Zhaohua without scruples.
After hearing this, Empress Zhou naturally understood that Xu Xianqing might be Zhu Cihong's person, and then thought that Xu Zhaohua was a high-ranking official of the celebrant supervisor, and laughed for a while: "Since you are a person that Your Majesty values, you should also be close to the emperor, and learn more." ”
"That's what the Queen Mother said!"
Zhu Cihong saluted Queen Zhou, and then took the initiative to talk to Xu Zhaohua:
"When did my sister arrive?"
"Has my sister ever had lunch?"
"My sister is a southerner, and she is used to living in the north."
"These days, we and the queen mother are not by our father's side, we all rely on my sister to help us fulfill our filial piety, and here the royal brother first thanked my sister!"
"I haven't seen her for a few days, but my sister is getting thinner and thinner, and I should pay attention to my body at ordinary times."
"A few days ago, I got some fresh lychees, and I heard that my sister likes to eat lychees the most, so I will send some to my sister later?"
……
Zhu Cihong didn't say a lot of words to Xu Zhaohua, and they were all thoughtful words of hushing and asking for warmth, and the words all revealed his concern for Xu Zhaohua.
Queen Zhou couldn't help but smile when she saw this, she is also a woman, and her mind is naturally sensitive and delicate, how can she not see what her eldest son means to Xu Zhaohua, but she is happy to see it happen in her heart, so she didn't say anything, only opened one eye and closed one eye and pretended not to see:
"Okay, your sister has just arrived, let her rest for a while, even if you brothers and sisters have more considerate words, it's not too late to wait for a while."
"The queen mother is right, the son got carried away for a while because he saw his sister, and treated the queen mother coldly, it's really damn damned!"
Zhu Cihong slapped himself lightly in the face after speaking.
Queen Zhou smiled slightly, very disdainful of her son's dementia, but also felt that he was as cute as His Majesty was back then.
Princess Changping on the side sneered.
Xu Zhaohua was a little at a loss, she only now found that her relationship with the queen was not so simple, and even at some point, she began to get tired of getting along with these royal family members, and at the same time, she was also a little worried in her heart.
Naturally, her concern was her own father.
"Listening to the meaning of King Hui's words just now, it seems that the lord and King Hui's people are walking together, and I don't know what the lord thinks, do you really think that King Hui can be the prince again? Your Majesty doesn't like King Hui, and it's not like I haven't told the master, why is the master still so stubborn! ”
When Xu Zhaohua was in a trance, Zhu Cihong suddenly woke her up and held Xu Zhaohua's hand: "Sister, sister, what are you thinking, what do you have on your mind, tell Brother Wei, maybe Brother Wei can help you." ”
"Please respect yourself Your Royal Highness!"
Xu Zhaohua hurriedly withdrew her hand from Zhu Cihong's hand, and seeing that the queen had left at some point, she was also busy saying goodbye to Zhu Cihong.
"Sister, sister, sister wait for me, why should my sister be like this, doesn't my sister understand what I mean".
Zhu Cihong asked Xu Zhaohua.
"If His Royal Highness King Hui has any orders, just say it, if not, please forgive Weichen for accompanying him!"
Xu Zhaohua was anxious to leave Zhu Cihong.
And Zhu Cihong hurriedly stopped Xu Zhaohua:
"Alas, sister, don't go, I don't have any orders, I just want to ask you for something tonight, I don't know if you are free at three o'clock tonight, how about meeting in the water pavilion opposite, I have something to say to my sister, I don't know if my sister can promise me."
Xu Zhaohua didn't know what Zhu Cihong wanted to do, but she couldn't refuse the request of an emperor's eldest son, so she had to nod.
Zhu Cihong saw Xu Zhaohua nodding, and he was so happy that he thought that everything could be done.
And on this day, as soon as the three o'clock arrived, Zhu Cihong was busy asking Zhu Cihuan to send away the people here early and come to the Water Pavilion to see Xu Zhaohua in person.
As soon as he saw Xu Zhaohua standing in the water pavilion like a hibiscus out of the water, Zhu Cihong hurriedly ran over hungrily, and made a gesture to hug Xu Zhaohua: "My good sister!" I like you, I've liked you for a long time, and I don't want you all the time! ”
Xu Zhaohua was quite shocked in his heart, and at the same time he was also very afraid, so he hurriedly hid:
"Please respect Your Royal Highness King Hui! If His Royal Highness King Hui has something important to say to Weichen today, Weichen can help him, but if His Highness has any intentions, please take care of it as soon as possible! What are the consequences of collusion between internal officials and members of the royal family, presumably His Royal Highness knows better than Wei Chen! ”
Zhu Cihong knew that his father had repeatedly warned that they had to fight the idea of internal officials, otherwise they would be directly demoted to commoners, so he couldn't help but hesitate, and at the same time was a little annoyed:
"You, why are you like this all of a sudden, haven't you already had a heart for me?"
……
"Changping is here!"
Zhu Cihuan, the third son of the emperor, suddenly appeared and took Zhu Cihong away, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but say to Zhu Cihuan indignantly:
"What's going on, she accepted my gifts, but suddenly she talked to me about the rules!"
"I'm afraid that she hasn't prepared for this yet, or that she has something else in mind", the third prince suggested again:
"If the eldest brother really wants to get her, why don't you find an opportunity to use it directly, once one of her daughters' family is forcibly occupied, can she still sue the prince if she can't succeed, and then at most she will ask the queen mother to intercede."
"Wouldn't that be too much, in case she complains to her father?" Zhu Cihong asked.
"Do you think she'll tell her father about her defilement? Besides, if she follows you, if she follows Xia Wanchun, it won't be a loss, if you forcibly defile her, your father can't do anything to you, after all, the tiger poison doesn't eat children, and it is estimated that Xu Zhaohua will be given to you, after all, this can be regarded as holding her Xu Zhaohua's reputation;
Get a Xu Zhaohua and bring down a celebrant at the same time, why not;
Moreover, in this way, other internal officials in the future will not be able to look at your face and act in order to take Xu Zhaohua's back path for fear of being afraid of it? ”
As soon as Zhu Cihuan said this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be moved: "Then I have to rely on the help of the third brother in this matter." ”
