"Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the imperial area, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders. I have been working hard all night. Look up to the ancestors of Mo Lie. Entrusted. Cheng Ao Yanqing, end in Yuanliang. Prince Yuji, Japanese Tablet Yingqi. Gifted and beautiful, he lives in the Mandarin Hall and has full authority to handle state affairs. My beloved son is like a pancreatic mixture. The country is harmonious and prosperous. For the prosperity of the country, Yongchangji, I have decided, and I have been crowned - the fourth prince Zhu Youqi is the king of Xing, the fief of Huguang'an Luzhou, the fifth prince Zhu Youqi is the king of Qi, the fief De'an, the sixth prince Zhu Youbin is the king of Yi, the fief of Jianchang Mansion, the seventh prince Zhu Youyi is the king of Heng, the fief of Qingzhou, and the eighth prince Zhu Youfang is the king of Yong, the fief of Hengzhou. In Beijing, the prince enjoys the privilege of the domain, cares for the people and loves the son, and performs the gift of fiefdom. Carry the ceremony, bow down to public opinion. I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community. Chin this. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The content of the decree was beyond everyone's expectations, and before the ministers could react, the emperor had already been helped away by Grandpa Huaien.

Zhu Youzhu said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the dynasty is over this morning, please go back." ”

Wan Shangshu glared angrily, looking at Prince Yun's indifferent appearance and anger, but he couldn't help it, and then flicked his sleeves and strode away. The heir under the name of the imperial concubine is the Nine Emperor Princes, and they have not yet been crowned kings, and they still have hope!

Five, six, or seven princes are all happy, and they can be crowned kings and go to the fiefdom, which is the best destination for them who have no ambitions.

The gloomy appearance of the eighth prince, Zhu Youzhu, was very scary, and he strode out of the main hall and went to the harem.

Zhu Youfang said leisurely: "Congratulations to the prince, keep the clouds." ”

"Rejoice and rejoice. Zhu Youzhu hooked the corners of his lips and smiled mockingly, and also walked away.

"Huh. Zhu Youfang watched Zhu Youji's back disappear around the corner, his heart sank, he didn't give him a fief, and kept him in the capital, whether he was too relieved of him or not about him.

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

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clothes began to slowly thicken, the autumn mood became more and more intense, and the anxiety in Zhang Erzhen's heart became more and more intense. She was worried that something had happened to Zhu Youji, and she hadn't dreamed of him for a long time......

The uneasiness in Zhang Erzhen's heart became heavier day by day, the food was tasteless, and she couldn't sleep at night, so it repeated for several days, and finally in the early morning of the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the high wall remembered the heavy bells,

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

"Three times...... Three times ......" Zhang Erzhen looked in the direction of the bell, except for the dimness, there was no light.

The sound of Xiao in his ears was slow and smooth, this was a happy voice, but Zhang Erzhen was not happy.

She asked Jin Qiu in disbelief, "Did you knock three times just now?"

"Side concubine, yes...... Be...... Three voices...... "Jin Qiu trembled and put on clothes for the side concubine."

"Do you know what that means?" Zhang Erzhen gathered his clothes and looked up at the night sky without half a star.

"Know...... Be...... It's ......"

"Yes, the emperor is dead...... Zhang Erzhen muttered......

"It's the emperor who died......"

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, a generation of kings fell at the age of forty-one. The temple of the first emperor is called Xianzong, and the name is Jitian, Ningdao, Cheng Mingren, reveres the emperor of Wensu, Wuhongde, Shengxiaochun, and is buried in Maoling. Ming Xianzong was wise and generous, rehabilitated Yu Qian's unjust case, appointed virtuous ministers to govern the country, fought bravely and skillfully in southern Yunnan, and had the demeanor of a king in the early years of his reign. During the world, the atmosphere of the times was clear, and many virtuous and handsome men in the imperial court were exempted from taxes and reduced punishments, which were praised by the people.

Zhang Erzhen thought of her understanding of today's saints at the beginning, and those things engraved into her mind poured out, but this emperor was indeed like this in his later years......

Zhang Erzhen muttered in her heart, did the reputation of Ming Xianzong I be ruined in the hands of Wan Zhen'er......

The emperor died, and the life of the high walls remained the same.

Zhang Erzhen kowtowed a few times in the direction of the capital, burned some paper money, and the people in the courtyard began to eat vegetarians. Zhang Erzhen knew that Jin Qiu and Yinqiu were happy, because the emperor's death meant that they were one step closer to the day when they would walk out of the high wall. But the joy was consumed in the waiting day by day, until the Chinese New Year's Eve of the twenty-third year of Chenghua arrived, and Jin Qiu Yinqiu finally realized in despair that perhaps the prince had long forgotten them.

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

If Ming Xianzong is still alive, this year should be the twenty-fourth year of Chenghua.

At noon on the first day of the new year, Xiangxiu pulled Zhang Erzhen into the room, and the burning hot earth dragon made the room very warm. Xiang Xiufu wrote on the side of the desk: "Do you want to go out?"

Zhang Erzhen sat on the chaise longue surrounded by fox fur with a hand stove, tilted her head and thought for a long time, "...... It was too cold to go out. ”

Xiangxiu continued to ask without being discouraged: "You don't want to know what's going on outside?"

"Hmm...... There was a heavy snowfall last night, and the snow outside probably hasn't melted yet, so the enthusiasm of the children to build snowmen and have snowball fights should be very high, and it should be quite lively outside. You want to have fun, so let's go play too?"

Xiangxiu stared at Zhang Erzhen for a while, Zhang Erzhen was defeated in Xiangxiu's angry eyes, and said helplessly: "It's the New Year today, can't we talk about something happy." ”

"Now in the capital, who is the emperor, don't you want to know, don't you be curious?" Xiangxiu asked very bluntly.

Zhang Erzhen asked her with a smile: "I naturally want the prince to ascend the throne smoothly, but I don't know who Xiangxiu is thinking about." ”

Xiangxiu hated that iron could not become steel, and wrote: "No matter who it is, you really aren't curious? If the crown prince ascends the throne, why doesn't he come to pick you up, or is your relationship already bad, and he doesn't care about you anymore?"

Zhang Erzhen tilted her head and thought for a while, and said lazily: "It's been so long, you ask me, I don't know." It's Xiangxiu, who do you want to be the emperor?"

Xiangxiu put down the pen and sat down, looked at Zhang Erzhen for a long time and sighed silently, Zhang Erzhen had a fluffy silver-white fox around her neck, her little face was hidden inside, she stared at Xiangxiu with a pair of round eyes and smiled, and said after a while: "I have a hunch, you are about to go out." ”

Xiangxiu looked at her suspiciously, and Zhang Erzhen said quietly: "It's nonsense, it's a New Year's gift for you." ”

Xiangxiu picked up the pen again, grinded it slowly, and struggled and hesitated for a long time before putting down the pen, "If I can go out, I will definitely take you with me." ”

"Hmm...... , I know, Xiangxiu, thank you in advance. Zhang Erzhen was a little indifferent and hung her legs on the table, Xiangxiu looked at her with some sympathy, and Zhang Erzhen slowly closed her eyes.

She knew that Jin Qiu Yinqiu and Xiangxiu pitied her, pitied her for dying of old age here at a young age, and pity her for having been forgotten by the prince. But she can't wash her face with tears, waiting is the only thing she can do now. As for sneaking out, it doesn't matter if she is cowardly, or if she is cautious, if she meets Ruyue again and kidnaps her regardless of it, what if Zhu Youji can't find her......

Zhang Erzhen knew that Xiangxiu wanted to sneak out, but she wasn't worried, Xiangxiu couldn't lift the heavy bed in the tunnel alone.

This winter passed quickly, the snow was melting, and the sound of depression was still there. The snow plum is proudly red, and the pear blossoms of thousands of trees bloom again and again, gradually turning into spring water and falling to the ground, and the soil is wet again and again. The dead branches gradually became green, and the green leaves appeared to wrap the pink flower bones, and the sound of Xiao was still the same, and when it became cheerful, it was already March.

"Golden autumn and silver autumn, I can get the sun today, take out the quilt quickly, it's going to grow hair." Zhang Erzhen lay on the newly woven bamboo chair leisurely, her face was lightly covered with a pink light veil, and she still had to protect her facial skin in the sun, and she would not be beautiful when she was old.

Jin Qiu Yinqiu walked with two thick quilts alone, and Xiangxiu hurriedly stepped forward to take the handle and put the four quilts on the bamboo poles. Jin Qiu took a small bamboo pole and knocked on the quilt and said: "It's spring again, Concubine Fang, should we put up a kite to fly again, the wind has become stronger these days, and it is a good day to fly kites." ”

"What kind of kite to fly, let's take out the bacon I got back last year and bask in the sun. ”

"But they're all hairy, concubine, or throw them away. Yinqiu looked at it cautiously, Zhang Erzhen didn't answer, Jin Qiu nudged Yinqiu to the house, and whispered: "The side concubine will let you dry it, you will talk a lot." ”

Yinqiu was a little aggrieved, and whispered: "Every time I take it out to dry, and then hang it back, I don't eat it, what do you say is wrong with the side concubine, will it be ......?"

Jin Qiu glared at her fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, the side concubine is in a bad mood, can't you see it?"

"I know that Concubine Fang is in a bad mood, Jin Qiu, what should I do if Concubine Fang is going to get sick if I go on like this, I shouted several times when I called Concubine Fang yesterday, but she didn't hear it. ”

"Alas, the side concubine is worried about the prince. Jin Qiu took off the hanging bacon and whispered, "...... There is no news every day, maybe it's bad news......"

"Golden Autumn...... , you said that if the side concubine will never be able to get out......"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you let the side concubine hear it, you will have to think about it again. Let's get to work, there are a few more over there, bring them to me, too." ”

"Oh. ”

Although Zhang Erzhen covered her face, she didn't plug her ears, and she heard some of the conversations of Jin Qiu and Yinqiu. She stretched her legs comfortably, but she still sighed in her heart. She was worried about the capital, but compared to the panic in her heart when the first emperor died, her heart has become more down-to-earth these days.

After settling down, I won't be cranky, but the atmosphere of Fengyajian is not very good, and they are careful to talk all day long, which is not good, let's play mahjong together, and the atmosphere is active.

"Jin Qiu, after hanging up the bacon, take out the mahjong cards, let's rub a few more rounds. ”

Jin Qiu agreed in a daze, and after hanging up the bacon, he went to the house to hold the box containing mahjong and put it in the courtyard, "I didn't see Xiangxiu, the slave went to find Xiangxiu." ”

"Well......" Zhang Erzhen responded lazily, lifted the veil and sat down at the table to shuffle the cards. This mahjong was made a few years ago, four people carved wood blocks for several days, and then Zhang Erzhen wrote a pen for a day, and then dried for three days. They played a few times during the New Year, and now this mahjong card is polished smooth and smooth, Zhang Erzhen laughed while rubbing, picked up one and threw it in the middle and shouted "Hongzhong", the voice was loud, and the foot of the middle was so angry that Yinqiu who was still sorting out the bacon not far away was scared, Yinqiu stroked his chest and sighed: "The side concubine is really a little ...... , or secretly return the soul at night......"
