Xiangxiu still shook her head and fell under the queen's long skirt, she didn't dare to grab Zhang Erzhen's legs and clothes, she just kowtowed vigorously, and her forehead was covered with blood. Zhang Erzhen turned her head and stopped looking at her, how moved she was, how soft-hearted, if she forgave Zhu You's flail, what would happen to the thousands of soldiers who sacrificed for King Yu at that time, and what about their families. Although there is no absolute fairness in this world, Zhang Erzhen still has a scale in her heart, she can kill Zhu Youfang for the bright moon, why Zhu Youfang, who killed thousands of soldiers, would be an exception.

There are no exceptions, Zhu You's flail must die!

Xiangxiu was desperate in the plea again and again, she tried her best to restrain her urge to pounce, she still remembered her brother telling her over and over again: "Xiu'er, live well, live well, get out of the palace quickly, the palace is too dangerous." Zhu Youfang ordered her over and over again, Xiangxiu cried and shook her head, when she was the only one left in the world, how could she live well, her brother threw this most difficult question to her, but she walked freely. At this time, Xiangxiu's only wish was to die, but she also clearly knew that her life no longer belonged to her nine years ago, and she was burdened with the expectations of the entire Yuwang Mansion......

Xiangxiu was still sent out of the palace and was carried away by several healthy fathers-in-law. Zhang Erzhen sat on a chair wrapped in a silver-haired fox, her little head shrunk in it for a while, picked up the three locks left by Xiangxiu before leaving, and opened the small box, the pure white velvet was wrapped layer after layer, Zhang Erzhen opened them one by one, and her eyes flashed with a piece of golden light, and the neat gold bars were shining with a seductive luster, like a group of fierce beasts.

Zhang Erzhen took them out as she counted, no wonder this box was so heavy, it turned out to be this thing. There were fifty gold bars, and at the bottom was a yellowed piece of paper with a bright red seal printed on it, and Zhang Erzhen took a cursory look at it and put it away. If Zhu Youfeng comes out, with these things, it is not a dream to make a comeback. Zhu You's flail is too smart, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and he has already laid out the trick of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, if he really regains his freedom, he only needs to wave his hand, and the cronies hiding in the shadows will flock to him, and this turmoil in the country is another bitter battle.

At night, after Zhu Youzhu hugged Empress Zhang for a while, Zhang Erzhen still relayed the Empress Dowager's entrustment, and after the task was completed, she held the quilt and yawned. Zhu Youzhu scratched her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Just refuse directly, what's there to be embarrassed about." ”

Zhang Erzhen drilled into Zhu Youji's arms, and rested his hairy head on his chest, "Why do you refuse, they are all acquaintances, and I also know their character, and I can't lock them up in the East Palace for a lifetime, in the end, it's your person, you can't be too unconscionable, let people talk behind their backs." ”

Zhu Youji's eyes were deep, and he frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "You are a philanthropic person, you look like a competent queen, you can't wait to enrich my harem, do you think this palace is too deserted?"

"What did the emperor say, I didn't mean to be a concubine, it was the empress dowager who said so, I am the only one in the harem to serve you, don't say that the empress dowager is dissatisfied, didn't you mention this matter to the civil and military officials when you went to the court?" Feeling Zhu Youji's anger, Zhang Erzhen still felt wronged, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Youzhu above and continued to chatter: "This is just the beginning, maybe after a while, the emperor will be asked to expand the harem and the folds will be handed over." ”

"It didn't take a while, it would have been handed over a long time ago. Zhu Youzhu grabbed the queen's little hand and held it in his hand, touched her soft long hair and said softly: "If it is peaceful today, those small clans in the northwest and southwest dare not attack, the miasma in southern Yunnan has disappeared, and the 1,000 troops sent have also returned. In the future, whoever goes on this kind of boring play will be directly sent to southern Yunnan to open up the territory, and the province will have nothing to do every day. ”

Zhang Erzhen didn't think it was funny, poked her head out and asked: "What does the emperor mean, neither accepting Shi Chenghui and them to the harem, nor preparing for the draft, if you plan to be alone, the ancestors will not forgive you." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Shouldn't you be happy, or don't you dislike that there is no one under your hand to greet you, life is a little boring?"

"Where can it be boring, there are no concubines in the palace, but the empress dowager and the queen mother, the concubines are all fine, and it will take a long time to go to ask for peace next to each other......" Zhang Erzhen yawned indecently, looked at Zhu Youzhi's bronze chest with mist-filled eyes, and then looked at Zhu Youzhi's hard jaw, and continued: "But if you don't expand the harem, you can't reproduce royal heirs......"

"Who said it can't?" Zhu Youji's voice smiled, hooking the queen's small chin and laughing: "It's not a woman who is with me night and night?"

Zhang Erzhen glanced at him dissatisfied: "Even if I can give birth again, I can't compare with three thousand beauties......"

"Who said that it should be so comparable? My queen was born to be the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone else is born ...... His nemesis. What other women can do, I believe that you can do it too, isn't it ......" Zhu Youzhen's warm breath spit in Zhang Erzhen's ears, Zhang Erzhen subconsciously covered her abdomen and muttered: "Where is it so fast, the imperial heir is not in my stomach yet." ”

"I know," Zhu Youzhu smiled again: "So the queen has to make persistent efforts to get pregnant with the dragon heir as soon as possible to block those leisurely mouths." Before that, I had to deal with them every day. ”

Zhang Erzhen grabbed his slender hand and asked solemnly, "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

"When did I lie to you," Zhu Youzhu said while helping her sort out the clothes that slipped off her shoulders: "I have seen too many harem women These methods, more than 20 years, there is nothing new." Those people in the East Palace, when you are pregnant with a dragon heir, you will be sent out of the palace, and those who go home will go home, those who will enter the temple, and the niece of the Queen Mother will be sent back to the Wang family together. The Queen Mother raised me once, and she couldn't be too ruthless. ”

Zhang Erzhen didn't speak for a long time, and she and Zhu Youzhu closed their eyes in disbelief, let's sleep, maybe it's still in a dream......

Zhu Youzhu looked at the person in his arms pouting and didn't feel funny, he was not a person who was fascinated, but every time he saw the girl in his arms, he wanted to ...... with her And then what will the child she give birth to look like?

Zhu Youzhu looked at her flat belly, and was full of expectations, if they had children that belonged to them, those boring ministers wouldn't be verbose all day long, right......

Zhu Youzhu was reluctant to take Shi Chenghui and them into the harem, Zhang Erzhen was naturally happy to be at ease, but the Empress Dowager had to have an explanation, and she had to go to ask for peace. A few days ago, it was okay to say, just prevaricate a few words, but the more the days passed, there was still no movement in the East Palace, and the Empress Dowager began to knock on the side: "Queen, when is the day you chose, it's just that you don't have a position, and it won't be so lonely to live in the harem first." ”

Faced with this anxious grandmother character, Zhang Erzhen really didn't know how to deceive her, so she had to pretend to have a headache and said, "The concubine had a cold last night, and she was a little uncomfortable at this time, can you allow the concubine to go back to find a doctor first?" The Empress Dowager had to let go.

Zhang Erzhen, who returned to Kunning Palace, sat upright and waited for the arrival of the emperor. When Zhu Youzhu came over at noon, he saw his queen mother squinting her eyes and taking a nap in the sun, but she was still sitting very straight. Glancing at the people waiting on both sides with some dissatisfaction, Jin Qiu and the others did not dare to express their grievances, and quietly withdrew along the sides with their heads down.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward, his hands supported Zhang Erzhen's sides and wanted to pick her up, Zhang Erzhen woke up when he smelled a faint ambergris, staring at Zhu Youzhen's handsome face close at hand and muttering: "You can be regarded as here, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks Shi Chenghui when he will enter the harem every time she sees me, I can't pretend to be stupid every day, if she is angry with her old man, I can't afford it." ”

"Oh, is there anything you can't solve?" Zhu Youzhu saw that Zhang Erzhen woke up and sat beside her.

"How to solve this, it's just to tell the truth, but I'm worried that the Empress Dowager will be angry and will call for you to recruit a few beauties to come in......," Zhang Erzhen frowned and was slightly worried.

Zhu Youji said happily: "It turns out that you don't like them either." I thought that my queen was very generous, and there were a few more beauties who were happy. ”

"Not really. Zhang Erzhen counted with his fingers: "I just sympathize with them, since you don't like it, being sent to the palace is not a vase-like decoration, women, the best time is not a few years, and after these days, they will either be sent to the temple, or they may not live until that time, alas, it is not that they voluntarily want to enter the palace, it is not worth losing their lives......

"Do you know they don't want to?" Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhang Erzhen, and said meaningfully: "Not all women are like you, I remember that you were also unwilling at that time, and you were sympathizing with yourself at that time?

Zhang Erzhen smiled and said: "How can there be so many ifs, look at now, you are so good to me, what am I not satisfied with." "Handsome and rich have status, the most important thing is dedication, this kind of good man is a good man who can't be found with a lantern even in his previous life, Zhang Erzhen quietly thanked God, he suffered so many crimes, and finally came to the bitter end.

Zhu Youzhu let out a faint "hmm", but the corners of his mouth could not hide his cheerfulness. originally wanted to tell this little queen that the little son of the Zhang family had caused trouble again, and Lord Qian had sued the royal court, but when I saw her happy little expression...... Let's not talk about it. Zhang Yanling's kid was not honest, so he sent it to General Yao ****, the little queen probably has no opinion, as for the Zhang family's reluctance, it is not within the scope of the emperor's consideration.

Not long after Zhu Youzhu left that day, Mama Chu from Renshou Palace came, "The Empress Dowager asked the Empress Dowager to come over and talk." ”

"I just met the Empress Dowager in the morning, does Mama know what is going on here?" Zhang Erzhen, who had finished lunch, wanted to take a beautiful nap, and Mama Chu said with some embarrassment: "The emperor just went to Renshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager has some ...... Not very comfortable. Mama Chu said euphemistically, Zhang Erzhen heard it, jumped up and said loudly: "It's bad, it's bad, will the emperor say something to the empress dowager, let's go and see." The Empress Dowager is not feeling well, can you ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look?"

"The Empress Dowager didn't want the old slave to ask for a doctor, she insisted on seeing the queen's mother, the old slave didn't dare to delay, and came over directly......"
