In the twenty-second year of Chenghua, the good news that the Ming army in the northwest defeated the Mongols and captured the little Mongolian prince alive came, and the prince once again became the talk of the people, and there were many discussions in the streets and alleys, and praise continued. Daming has won several big victories in recent years, almost all of them have the figure of the prince, Daming can get this prince, it is the blessing of the people, there is no fear of war, just win. Then there was harmony everywhere, only Wanfu grieved, hung a white sail on the door, and waited for the body of the son of the Wan family to be transported back.

Li Yanyan, who was dressed in plain clothes, had already dried his tears and stood at the back with a cower. In the scolding and cursing of all the people in Wanfu, she almost felt the pleasure of relief. Since beating her and marrying into a 10,000 family, her father no longer cares about her, and her aunt is sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, the Li family has long had no support, but how does Wan Rong treat her? She is disgusted when she is beaten and scolded, humiliated and despised, and the concubines are piled up in the house! Now that Wan Rong is dead, and she has no sons and half daughters, what will happen in the second half of her life? Li Yanyan knows how bleak her position is, she hates her belly for not being angry, she hates Wan Rong for dying early, and she hates the Li family for being ruthless and unrighteous and not even replying to her letters. Listening to a cry outside the door, he actually laughed out loud, Wan Vieng died, died on the battlefield, it should have been a heroic and fearless death, but now it is ......

"I heard that the Mongols should have been defeated a long time ago, and it was the indiscriminate command of that son of the Wanjia family that caused a team of troops to fall into the trap of the Mongols and lose their lives in vain......"

"But it's not just that, Wan Rong was cowardly and afraid of death, and when he was caught, he cried loudly and leaked the mechanism that the prince had already arranged, which made the Mongols escape......"

"That's right, I heard that the prince rearranged it for several nights in a row, and conspired with General Yao and General Yu for a long time before he captured the little Mongolian prince in one fell swoop......"

"Poor General Yao's son-in-law, he died in battle because of this......!"

"If it weren't for that Wanrong's cowardice, General Yao Xiao would not have been killed by the Mongolian arrows in order to save him, creating evil, creating evil!"

"I also heard that Wan Rong did not listen to the command in the northwest, went with two boxes of cigarettes without permission, and was drunk and smoked all day long, and many soldiers were also addicted. The emperor is wise, but he can't condone the descendants of the Wan family and stay to harm others. ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor is wise, but he can't make the people feel cold!"

............

In mid-April, the army finally arrived in the capital, and the large army remained outside the city, and a small number of the army entered the city in a mighty way to give orders. The people stood on both sides of the road, cheering, and in the teahouse and restaurant, the scholar recited the poem loudly: Wu Gexi was rhinoceros, and the car was wrong and the soldiers were short. The sun covers the enemy like a cloud, and the arrows and fallen soldiers compete for the first. The people held high the basket and food, or threw the red silk at the army, and the scene was jubilant and lively.

Zhu Youzhi rode a horse in a military uniform and walked in the front, followed on the left by the silver-bearded and resolute eyes of the old general Yao, and on the right followed Wan Shangshu, who was about to be appointed as a powerful general, with a tired face and sunken eyes. Zhang Heling, who was crowned like jade on the top of the Ruyu Teahouse, watched the prince's army slowly walk by, and his face was sad and joyful. The prince returned safely, and my sister should be relieved......

At the end of the army, there were several coffins, including Yao Lian, a young general who died heroically, Wan Rong, who still couldn't escape death when he fled for his life, and many of the dead. The people were indignant, staring fiercely at Wanrong's coffin as the carriage and horse forward, and they couldn't wait to spit on it. When Wan Rong was oppressing, the people molested the women of good families, and did all kinds of evil, and before he died, he implicated the soldiers and took his life for no reason, such villains, it is difficult to escape the blame for death!

After Zhang Erzhen heard the news of the prince's return to Beijing, he was in a daze in Ningyun Pavilion for a few more days, and only then did he see Zhu Youzhu at dusk. At that time, Zhang Erzhen was holding a delicate silver spray-painted small bucket pot to water the flowers, hearing the man's heavy footsteps, Zhu Youzhu was just like when he left, wearing a blue Yunxiang rune bat pattern suit, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, only a white jade pendant, a slender posture, his eyes flowing, and he smiled.

He's black...... , Zhang Erzhen stared for a long time before he spit out softly: "You...... It's back. ”

Zhu Youzhu strode forward and dragged Zhang Erzhen's petite body into his arms. Feeling a strong heartbeat, Zhang Erzhen slowly raised her hand and attached it to Zhu Youji's broad back. Zhu Youji's body stiffened for a moment, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and the strength of his hands increased slightly: "When I leave...... , too late to tell you. ”

"It's good that the prince can come back safe and sound. Zhang Erzhen nested in Zhu Youji's chest with peace of mind, and said for a long time: "In the past few months since you left, many things have happened in the palace. ”

Zhu Youzhu led Zhang Erzhen in one hand and walked in, and his voice was cold: "When you come back this time, you won't leave." I have everything in the palace, so you don't have to suffer. ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled: "I didn't suffer, I didn't go out, and no one took me." Maybe this time, God is on our side. After the year, the Queen Mother took Concubine De and Meng Zhaoyi to the villa, and the Queen Mother summoned me before leaving, saying that as long as the emperor was good, she didn't care about the rest. ”

Zhu Youzhu took Zhang Erzhen to sit down, and the big palm attached to the back of Zhang Erzhen's delicate hand had a thin callus, "Wan Rong is dead, Wan Shangshu is slumping, Wan Jia's setback this time is bound to backfire, and then there is a tough battle to fight, you ...... Be more careful. ”

Wu Niangniang sent a message, saying that Wan Guifei's body couldn't stand it, the Gu worms had been in her body, and they were becoming more and more uncontrollable, and she couldn't find a way to lure out the Gu worms, and those few insects would rush out of her body sooner or later, and Wan Guifei would definitely ...... Seven orifices bled to death. Zhang Erzhen held Zhu Youzhang's warm palm with her backhand, and finally sighed in her heart, knowing that after he went to the northwest, she was worried and scared, and begged God countless times, don't let me be young and ......

Leave the bridle and send away the cup. Tears of shame, twisting green plums. Asked in a low voice when it would be back. Qin Zheng Yan urged, who is this night lined up. Jun goes, far Penglai. Thousands of miles, good faith. Lovesickness becomes the bottom of the disease. and troubles, find a convenience, send the future.

Zhang Erzhen didn't expect that she would have a day when she would look forward to your return. She helplessly took Zhu Youji's hand and stared at his handsome face for a long time before she said leisurely: "When will such days end." ”

The guilt in Zhu Youji's eyes flashed, and he was even more determined. Zhang Erzhen just looked at Zhu Youji's slender fingers in a daze, and then said for a while: "Your Majesty has been ...... recently is using women's blood to make alchemy, this thing...... Does the prince know?"

Zhu Youji's long eyelashes enveloped the darkness, and the corners of his mouth raised a touch of sarcasm: "Not only palace maids, but even a few little eunuchs have gone in." Fengzao Palace was also not at peace, and the Taoist priest who was smuggled in, the Gu master who was found in southern Yunnan, was probably dead a long time ago. ”

Zhang Erzhen was not surprised that Zhu Youzhu put a lot of eyeliner in the palace, and said with a smile: "They are so vicious, the prince can live safe and sound to this day, it is really the blessing of Concubine Ji." The nurse often whispered in her ear, how kind and intelligent Concubine Ji is, that is the elder worthy of respect, as for these in the palace now, one by one with a beast's face and a different heart, more like an old wolf with green eyes and abnormal hunger, which is frightening and full of combat effectiveness.

Zhu Youzhu shook his head disapprovingly, stroked Zhang Erzhen's cheek and said with a smile: "That's my fate, and it has nothing to do with their kindness." Zhu Youji's gaze crossed Zhang Erzhen's gaze on the delicate frozen blue glazed amphora on the Nanmu table not far away, and sneered in his heart, he endured humiliation for so many years, not their pity, not the blessing of his mother, it was himself, living like a cockroach.

............

At the banquet at night, Zhang Erzhen finally saw Wang Xiangqin, who had not appeared for a long time, with a snow-white and soft silk covering her face, a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be delicate and disgusting, looking directly at Zhu Youzhen who was sitting at the top, and occasionally looked at Zhang Erzhen with complicated eyes, and then suddenly shifted away to realize. Zhang Erzhen sat on the right side of Zhu Youzhen, feeling Wang Xiangqin's powerful resentment, she was very curious, what Wang Xiangqin's face had become, it was obvious that Wan Xian'er was also very curious, and said with a smile: "It is rare for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get together with us today, why don't Sister Qin take off her mask, looking at it like this, it is awkward." ”

Zhang Erzhen silently took a sip of soup, nodded in her heart, and Lu Zhaoxun became the second princess's iron fan after Shi Chenghui, and then said: "If my sister has been wearing a mask, how can she eat." No matter what my sister becomes, just based on my sister's beauty, it won't be outrageous, my sister is too worried. ”

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Lu Zhaoxun who spoke, and he couldn't even remember when there was such a person in the palace.

The tips of Wang Xiangqin's ears were red, and he looked at Zhu Youzhu with a very aggrieved look, twisting the handkerchief and not making a sound, Zhu Youzhen said: "Take it off, what kind of system." ”

Wan Xian'er was not surprised or pleased, Lu Zhaoxun looked surprised, Zhang Erzhen was expressionless, Wang Xiangqin became more and more aggrieved, but when the prince spoke, she didn't dare to disobey, and slowly lifted the veil. Seeing her dignity, Zhang Erzhen was a little disappointed, and the rest of the women were shocked, with an expression of "Concubine Qin is finished", Zhang Erzhen couldn't understand it, didn't she leave a few small pits on her left and right faces...... Of course, the left side of the face is slightly more serious, but Wang Xiangqin's natural beauty has not lost much.

Zhu Youzhu pretended not to see it and continued to sip his tea. As the veil was lifted, Wang Xiangqin finally couldn't stand the low sobbing, and after a while, he resolutely stood up, knelt on the ground and cried: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the master of the concubine, the concubine just went to Concubine Shao's flower-viewing banquet that day, and when she came back, she had a rash, the concubine was killed, His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine was killed......"

Zhang Erzhen glanced at Wang Xiangqin on the ground, and it happened that the resentful gaze of the concubine on the side of Qin skimmed over, and the next words were logical, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the concubine was killed! The concubine originally thought it was allergic, but after checking it out in the past few months, she found that the concubine was really victimized, it was her, it was Concubine Zhen, she did something to the concubine at the flower viewing banquet. The concubine likes flowers the most, and she has never had any rashes, but that day was strange, Concubine Zhen kept pulling the concubine to sit in the chrysanthemum pile, and poured flower tea for the concubine, and the concubine was ...... , I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master of the concubines, and the concubines will harm the concubines!"
