Chapter 19: White Ruoji

Zhang Erzhen felt that there were many miserable people in the palace, such as today's queen mother, such as Ruo Zhaoyi just now.

Zhang Erzhen sat on the cloth and swayed all the way back to the East Palace, thinking that at that time, she had any other choice as to whether or not to enter the palace? Would she have jumped into it knowing that it was a deep pit? If Zhaoyi was not arranged by Zhu Youzhi to enter the palace? Did she have such a tranquil appearance as Ruo Zhaoyi and faced her sweetheart's new love? Maybe Zhu Youzhi didn't know Bai Ruo's deep friendship with him, maybe he knowingly made a mistake? Want to use such a young and beautiful skin and elegant soul to share Wan Guifei's exclusive favor for decades? Zhang Erzhen didn't know why, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Zhu Youzhu was scheming, and her palms were covered with sweat.

She asked herself, was she really calculated by him?

At night, Zhu Youzhu was still resting in Ningyun Pavilion. At that time, Zhang Erzhen was already sitting in front of the dressing mirror with her hair scattered, wearing a peach-green silk shirt, looking young and fresh. Zhu Youzhi looked tired, sat on the edge of the bed and watched Zhang Erzhen not move for a long time, a little impatient: "Are you going to sleep there today? It's cold at night, what if you get sick, come over quickly." ”

Zhang Erzhen stared at herself in the mirror for a while, then got up and sat down on the small pestle next to the bed, and asked, "You don't have to go anywhere else tonight? Are you sure you won't eat me alive?"

Zhu Youzhu pulled Zhang Erzhen's thin wrist, dragged Zhang Erzhen into the quilt, tightly wrapped the girl's cool body and said unhappily: "You want to let me out virtuously?"

Zhang Erzhen lay in Zhu Youji's arms, "Of course not, it's just curiosity." After all, I'm the one who faces them every day, and I may not be able to guard against them. Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should be ready, don't come back one day and won't be able to find me, but what can you do? Zhang Erzhen is only thirteen years old, at least her own mind is pure and immaculate, and she doesn't feel awkward lying in her husband's arms, feeling Prince Zhu's powerful heartbeat, Zhang Erzhen's hairy head moved to the side, and said: "I saw Ruo Zhaoyi today." ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't hear what the little girl in his arms said clearly, his strong arms tightly wrapped around her small body, and said sullenly: "I knew you weren't so virtuous." "If he hadn't succeeded, I don't know how happy she would be now.

Zhang Erzhen muttered a few words dissatisfied, and then said again, "I see Zhaoyi today", and then clearly felt Zhu Youji's tightened arms, and Zhu Youzhi replied after a long time: "...... She was a concubine......"

Zhang Erzhen's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned over and escaped from Zhu Youji's arms, wrapped in a soft quilt and only revealing a pretty face without powder: "You said that if Zhaoyi is a concubine?!, then what is she...... How...... Came to the palace?"

Zhu Youzhu stared at the person in front of him dissatisfied, blushed slightly when he lowered his head, got out of bed and poured himself a cup of tea, and then turned over and stuffed Concubine Zhen into his arms: "If you want to listen, be honest." A fierce voice came from above, and Zhang Erzhen's gossip genes began to haunt him again, and he nodded busily. After all, Zhang Erzhen has not seen many concubines, and Li Yanyan who has only heard of it is enough to refresh the three views.

Zhu Youji's deep voice said slowly: "You know how absurd Wanrong's gang is, how many young women are carried out from his mansion, and Bai Ruo's sister is also one of them." Zhang Erzhen thought that she understood the direction of the development of things, was it that her sister avenged her sister and entered the palace for the concubine to try to trample the enemy under her feet? Zhang Erzhen was about to sharpen her knife Huo Huo, Zhu Youzhu had already seen her angry look, and continued with a smile: "You are right, they have a deep relationship, and they are both concubines, they have relied on each other since childhood, Bai Ruo's sister is only two years older than her, but she is kind and precocious, she didn't want to come to the capital soon after she entered the eyes of Wan Rong, and she never came out of Wanjia after entering Wanjia. ”

Zhang Erzhen was full of questions: "How do you know so clearly, is it really you who can enter the palace?"

Zhu Youzhu sighed with emotion: "It's also a coincidence, at that time you happened to leave the capital, I passed by Wanzhai and noticed Bai Ruo staring at Wanfu from afar. I rescued her and sent her to the palace, all of which she volunteered to do. Now it seems that it should be useful, and the Holy Lord has been resting in the Zhongcui Palace for three consecutive days. ”

Zhang Erzhen's heart suddenly contracted, and she suddenly felt distressed about Ruo Zhaoyi, what kind of mentality did she have when she served the saint.

The person in her arms fell silent, and Zhu Youzhu unconsciously ruffled a strand of her hair: "Do you think I shouldn't do this?"

Zhang Erzhen muttered, "Later...... She may not want to enter the palace. ”

Zhu Youzhu laughed out loud, his chest fell together, and he tapped the corner of the villain's forehead: "Everyone has their own life, if Bai Ruo doesn't enter the palace, there are about two ways out, one is to be brought into the mansion by Wan Rong and become a dead person like her sister, and the other is to be given to others as a concubine by his powerful father." I wasn't so ruthless, she was able to enter the palace, she begged me. Zhu Youzhu tightened his arms and said softly: "If you still want to know, I will tell you, you are in this deep palace, I may not be able to protect you." ”

Zhang Erzhen was a little angry, irritable and inexplicable, but after a while, the anger disappeared, she opened her eyes, and asked for a long time: "...... Back then, was that snowman I built shoveled out by you?"

Zhu Youzhu thought that he had auditory hallucinations, and it took a while to react to the events of that winter, and said with a sullen smile: "It's about when the sun comes out and melts, you are very smart, you know that nature is always magical, isn't it?"

Zhang Erzhen stretched out her fingers and pinched Zhu Youji's muscles through her clothes, "It doesn't matter if you shovel it off, I gave it to you, whether you take it or not is another matter." "Just like we are now, what you can do I can do, just do your best.

"You always have to calculate so clearly, but I remember that the Zhang family does not have a person who is very good at keeping accounts, probably because you inherited the Zhang family's uncle's business mind?"

Zhang Erzhen knew that Zhu Youzhu sarcastically mocked her for being calculating and ruthless, like a businessman-like philistine, she said leisurely: "Aren't you treating Ruo Zhaoyi like this?"

Zhu Youji's body stiffened for a moment, and Zhang Erzhen continued: "You know it, and you sent her into the palace, aren't you ruthless?"

Zhu Youzhu thought of Bai Ruo's helpless eyes when he looked at him, Bai Ruo knelt in front of him and kowtowed respectfully a few times before entering the palace, and when he turned around, he seemed to become distant. Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment before replying: "Before I met her, I never thought of sending a holy beauty to share the favor of ten thousand concubines. I deal with Wan Wan and Wan Guifei, there are ways to deal with it. But she begged me, and begged me on her knees, and I obeyed her. "Zhu Youji, as the crown prince, what kind of warbler Yanyan has never seen, but such a good woman is the first one, he only feels that it is a pity to miss it, her appearance should be fascinated by the emperor, so he relied on her.

Zhu Youzhu praised Bai Ruo unabashedly, Zhang Erzhen's heart was slightly sour, but he nodded in agreement: "But it's like this, if a woman like Zhaoyi, who doesn't feel moved." But if Wan Rong died at the hands of the Northwest Mongols, wouldn't it be meaningless for her to enter the palace?" Bai Ruo's goal was to avenge her sister, her enemy was Wan Rong, but when she entered the palace as a concubine, the enemy was Wan Guifei, and the difficulty rose by more than one level.

Zhu Youzhu didn't make a sound, Zhang Erzhen also felt that he was a little aggressive, Zhu Youzhu was already in dire straits, where could he still have compassion to give to others. He sympathizes with others, who will sympathize with him? Zhang Erzhen silently arched his head upwards and gently leaned on Prince Zhu's chest, if nothing else, this will be her lifelong partner, she wants him to be good, what kind of poison, what calculation, what kind of throne, as long as the person is good, it is enough. Zhang Erzhen thought so, but she also knew clearly that Zhu Youji now had no other choice, and she would not give up that person.

He wants to be the emperor, what else can she think.

The days after becoming the crown prince's concubine were also very boring, and she had to go to Qingyun Pavilion every morning to ask for peace. On the third day, as usual, I went to ask the princess to say goodbye before dawn, Zhang Erzhen staggered to Qingyun Pavilion, but the princess had not yet arrived, only the three low-grade beauties were sitting. A little similar to Zhang Erzhen is Shi Chenghui, with a slender figure and a gorgeous appearance, especially a pair of beautiful eyes, full of water. Sitting opposite Shi Chenghui was Liang Chenghui, looking very kind, and then down was Lu Zhaoxun, looking a little younger, looking naΓ―ve. The three of them saluted Concubine Zhen first, and Zhang Erzhen walked slowly to her seat, leaning lazily on her soft back, not planning to talk to them.

Lu Zhaoxun said in a snort: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested in Sister Zhen's house again, Sister Zhen is so blessed." In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested in the study, and it was easy not to go to our room. "Lu Zhaoxun was originally the youngest, compared to the two Chenghui sisters who were seventeen or eighteen years old, fifteen-year-old she has always regarded herself as a little sister, and she will always have some advantages when she is young, but at this time, she sees that the new side concubine Niangniang is younger than herself but so favored, she can't help but be sour.

Zhang Erzhen smiled and said casually: "What kind of blessing is not blessed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, sister, I can't drive him out, I'm really afraid." ”

Shi Chenghui, who was at the bottom, looked like "I understand your embarrassment": "No, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince willing to go, how can we put our beaks." She glanced at the still smiling concubine, and secretly rubbed her veil, she didn't look down on this concubine, she always felt lazy and proud, and there was no one in her eyes after only three days, and it was an eyesore.

Zhang Erzhen agreed: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

There was a sound at the door, and Wang Xiangqin, who had a bright spring face, walked in with a gentle footstep and said, "You are talking so lively, come and tell me." ”

Zhang Erzhen squeezed out a smile again, only laughing and not answering. Shi Chenghui said with a smile: "Let's say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Concubine Zhen, and he rests in Ningyun Pavilion for three days in a row, or does Concubine Zhen like the prince more?" ”
