Chapter 560, Fit
Zeng Rong really didn't think about the fact that someone would assassinate them after leaving Beijing, or rather, she hadn't had time to think about it, after all, this idea was improvised by Zhu Heng and had not been discussed with her.
And she didn't expect the Queen Mother to target her so quickly, after a little thought, she bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, yes and no." The Second Highness liked to sit alone in the pavilion on the rockery of Cining Palace or on the city wall on the summoning platform long before his granddaughter-in-law met him. He said that he likes to close his eyes to perceive the wind passing, the rain falling, the flowers, the movement of the birds and the smell of the sun, fantasizing that he walks in the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River to see the pavilions, in the sunset of the long river to see the tired birds return to the nest, in the lonely smoke of the desert to see the vast heaven and earth, and in the lychee bushes in Lingnan to taste the pleasure of eating 300 lychees in the sun, and the granddaughter-in-law entered Beijing from Anzhou three years ago, and the scenery and scenery along the way also really left a deep impression on the granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, the granddaughter-in-law wanted to accompany His Second Highness to fulfill his wish. Please also rest assured that we will definitely not go to dangerous places, but only go around the Jiangnan area. ”
Although Zhu Heng changed his mind without consulting her, she believed that he must have some special reason, so she had to stand with him.
"Hearing you say this, I am also a little moved, I have been the emperor for all these years, and I have long thought about the next trip to Jiangnan, but I haven't thought about it for almost thirty years." Zhu Xu said with emotion.
After calming down, he felt that the decision of these two people was not unreasonable, first of all, he knew that Zhu Heng's treatment had been going on in secret, and now he was in such a hurry to move out, it must be that the treatment had reached a critical period, and it was inconvenient to stay in the palace.
Secondly, it's good to go out and take a look, just so that he can see who else is secretly ready to move, and who ignores his royal authority and dares to attack behind his back.
Who knew that the Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she heard Zhu Xu's words, and she changed her smile, "Since the emperor said so, it is better for the mourning family to join in the fun, and the mourning family has not returned to their hometown for more than 40 years." ”
She is a person who has passed the age of sixties, if she doesn't take this opportunity to go out for a walk, in her lifetime, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of this capital again.
One more thing, with her following, those behind the scenes have to be more or less scrupulous.
Zeng Rong and Zhu Heng never expected that the style of painting would change so abruptly, the two glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.
"It would be great if the imperial grandmother could follow her grandson, just when the grandson could still listen to the imperial grandmother talk about the ancients, when he was young, the grandson listened to the imperial grandmother talk about Huizhou, saying that the houses in Huizhou are the most distinctive, saying that the mountains and rivers in Huizhou are very spiritual, and also saying that the food in Huizhou has a unique flavor. Oh, and there are the best inkstones, rice paper, and inkstones in Huizhou, and it just so happens that my grandson has long wanted to see what kind of outstanding people can make such world-famous and elegant things. Zhu Heng said with a smile.
There is no way, the old man of this age has homesickness, if he does not fulfill it, I am afraid that it will become a lifelong regret.
"Okay, okay, I can't wait for you to say that." The Queen Mother smiled comfortably, without the slightest hint of depression.
"Queen Mother, are you serious?" Zhu Xu didn't expect that his casual remarks would arouse the interest of the old man, but this stupid son still coaxed him, which was a troublesome thing.
"What, no?" The queen mother glanced at her son, it was rare that she was interested in doing something, and her grandson also agreed, but her son was not happy, is this okay?
"After returning to his mother, my son didn't dare." After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Zeng Rong as if unintentionally.
Zeng Rong knew that the emperor had already had the heart to go to the south of the Yangtze River, but she knew better that the household department did not have this financial support, especially this year, the cost of Zhu Heng and Zhu Wu getting married made the household department even more stretched.
Therefore, there is no need to ask, the emperor must be worried about this expense.
"Back to the emperor, you just said that you want to go down to Jiangnan is also serious?" Zeng Rong asked weakly.
"How about being serious, and what if you're not serious?" Zhu Xu asked her rhetorically.
"If it is serious, the daughter-in-law has a proposal, the father and the emperor will bring the imperial grandmother and us in the form of a private tour, and the cost should not be much, and we will bear it ourselves; If you are not serious, the daughter-in-law also has a proposal, we follow the imperial grandmother, the daughter-in-law and the second highness everywhere they go, they will definitely record what they have seen and heard truthfully, and after returning to the palace, they will be presented to the father and emperor, as if you were there in person, how about it? Zeng Rong said thoughtfully.
This marriage, Zeng Rong turned into a rich woman, there were 4,000 taels of gold at the bottom of the box alone, the queen mother, the emperor and the Qian family each gave 1,000 taels, as well as 1,000 taels of gift money when giving dowry, and 21,000 taels of silver, of which Zhu Heng gave 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and the Xu family gave 1,000 taels of silver ingots.
"What kind of nonsense is this, you mean to let me watch you eat, drink and have fun all the way, leisurely and happy, and I can only draw bread to satisfy hunger and plum to quench your thirst?" Zhu Xu blew his beard again, how could he be so bullying?
He's the emperor, he's the emperor!
"Emperor, I think my granddaughter-in-law has a good idea, so it's decided, leave early, come back early, we Wu'er should be married in five months." The Queen Mother said.
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, it is better for the grandson to accompany the emperor's grandmother, and the grandson is also very yearning for the human geography and natural treasures of the south of the Yangtze River." Zhu Wu said with a smile.
Because of the relationship between his mother and concubine, Zhu Wu knew that he had never been favored by the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother in his heart would not take him with him, but the words had to be spoken.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother rejected him without even a moment's hesitation, the reason is sufficient, he is going to get married, how can he still walk around at will?
"The Queen Mother, the queen mother can't leave the palace to serve, the second princess has to take care of the second prince, and the queen mother can't be without a proper person to serve her, if you also ask the old man to bring the concubine and Min'er, Min'er is not small, just can go out for a long time, and the concubine can also do her filial piety for the emperor and the queen." Concubine De laughed.
Over the years, she has been trying to survive in the gap between the queen mother and the imperial concubine, and it is really not easy, and now that the imperial concubine has fallen out of favor, she must find a way out for herself and her son again.
"That's it, this matter has not yet been decided, so don't add to the chaos one by one." Zhu Xu spoke.
He knew the purpose of Zhu Heng and Zeng Rong's trip, how could he take these uneasy ones?
Zhu Xu spoke, and a few others who were eager to try had to shut up.
After the meal was over, Zeng Hua and Zhu Heng returned to Chuhua Palace, and when there were only the two of them left in the house, without waiting for Zeng Rong to ask, Zhu Heng took the initiative to explain the reason for his temporary change of mind.
But what he didn't expect was that he and Zeng Rong were so compatible, and the two worked together almost seamlessly.
Zhu Heng had to sigh, it turned out that there was really a good couple, and the person he chose was different!
