waved Wang Jingshu away, and the queen ordered the palace maid to find King Ning, even if she didn't pursue the matter of Yuanfang at this time, she had to do it as soon as possible.

She waited left and right and didn't come to King Ning, but she waited for the eunuch who came to the Lizheng Hall to trot, and immediately knelt down, "Queen Mother, the holy car is coming to the Fengyi Palace, you can take it quickly." ”

The emperor is coming?

The emperor came here without warning, and the queen was not ready yet. When Mama Chang heard this, she beckoned the palace maids to get ready, and woke up again, "Niangniang, why don't you change your clothes and take over?" ”

"No need," the queen lowered her eyes and looked at a lake blue dark pattern regular dress she was wearing, which was very good, why change it again? The emperor must have come here without warning to discuss things again, but not to ask her to accompany her at night. She had quite an idea, "The concubines have to see that the emperor mostly chooses festive clothes to wear, if I change those colors again, I won't let the emperor get tired of looking at them." ”

"Yes."

Immediately, the queen straightened her clothes, and helped the sideburns with a peony hollow tassel golden step shake, this step shake was rewarded by the emperor, she loved it very much, and went out of the palace with a dignified smile to wait to greet her.

Seeing the royal palace coming slowly, she couldn't say how happy she was in her heart, but the queen's appearance gradually became dislike after a long time, she just smiled, but she still couldn't hide her good mood.

About a quarter of an hour, the emperor landed on the ground, and Emperor Zhu Yuanming got down. Immediately, a mountain called for long live, "Please say hello to the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed." ”

"It's all exempt," Zhu Yuanming strode forward to personally pull up the queen, and he was willing to give this face in front of the palace people, "The queen gets up, and she doesn't have to go out of the palace to greet her in the future." ”

"Your hands are cold, I see how thin you are."

The queen chuckled and led him into the palace, "Your Majesty, go in quickly." ”

The emperor entered the hall and sat upright, and after a while, the palace maids served tea, and brought warm water, and the queen personally washed the face towel, and asked the emperor to put on his face, "Now in autumn, the emperor has come all the way to the wind and sand." This will be a warm application of water, and the face will be more comfortable. ”

Although the relationship between the emperor and the queen has nothing to do with love, the emperor is still deeply considerate of the queen. Zhu Yuanming covered his face, waved away a group of palace maids casually, and closed the palace door. The queen knew that he had something to say, "Does the emperor have something to say?" ”

Zhu Yuanming took out two notebooks from his sleeve and threw them on the coffee table casually, "The queen will take a look for herself, and now I will also come to ask you what you mean." ”

Could it be a fold? The queen looked down on him, didn't seem to be angry, felt a little more at ease, took the fold, and she read it carefully. The content of the two books is the same, only one of them is written, and two words are accurate.

——The son implored his father to issue a decree to give the Chen family to the son as a side concubine.

"This is the fourth child's recital, I wrote two words accurately a few days ago, but I forgot to give the order. Now that he's on the fold again, I remember that I should discuss it with you. ”

If he is another prince, he can make his own decisions, and he doesn't have to ask the queen. But this is the fourth child, the queen's own son, he still has to give this face, the side concubine is not as good as the rest of the concubines, and the side concubine is the same as the princess, and she has to go to the royal jade. At the very least, I should talk to the queen. Therefore, after dealing with the government today, I came over to ask her what she meant.

"Tell me, you queen mother, what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanming added, "It's not the first time that the fourth child has folded it twice, he has folded it many times, and I'm afraid that he is determined to welcome the Chen family as a side concubine." I had also told him before that Chen could welcome her into the palace at any time if she was of the rank of Liangdi Zhaoxun, but he insisted on welcoming her as a side concubine. ”

The queen also thought about this matter, and she agreed to talk to the queen mother about this matter, but now that the emperor said this, she hesitated. The princess has not yet rounded up there, and she has to welcome the concubine here, if this matter reaches the Wang family, wouldn't Wang Dana's old slippery head be more loyal to the East Palace. I'm afraid this is not right.

The queen refused this, "The concubine thinks it's inappropriate." Not to mention how Chen's character is qualified to become a prince and concubine. said that the princess side, they were married for less than half a year, and there was one more Zhao family in the back house, and now there was a side concubine, although she didn't dare to complain, but if there was anything bad in the imperial city, it was not good, this is called how the princess faced and how to think. ”

When Zhu Yuanming heard this, he felt that it made some sense. It seems that Wang Aiqing's side is not easy to explain. "That being the case, this is pressed beforehand." ”

turned his head and talked about the marriage of Princess Anqing's daughter, and the future candidate should also look at each other, so as not to cause discord between husband and wife in the future. Zhu Yuanming is very fond of this daughter, and he wants to choose the best man in the world for her to be her concubine.

The queen smiled and said nothing. The emperor's favorite princess Anqing is an honor.

"I heard Defu say that the princess of the East Palace has a temper? Do you know this? ”

Princess Defoe? Could it be that the matter of the crown princess of the East Palace was sued by her?

Zhu Yuanming was unhappy when he thought of this, a good princess sent a nameless fire, angry at a lady who ordered her, and she had to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the face of the monk, the husband of the family is a second-class official in the imperial court, and the future queen is angry like this because she wants to make the East Palace unstable.

And the queen did not fall into the well this time, but helped the princess speak, she had her own considerations, "The concubine has heard of it, but the princess has always been virtuous and generous in all aspects, presumably it was the inappropriate words of the lady who made her unhappy, so she became angry." It shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Zhu Yuanming stared at her face carefully, but didn't see anything, and began to lower his eyebrows again, touching the jade wrench, "Princess......"

- Father, since ancient times, the throne has always been inherited by the eldest son, because the prince's brother is your eldest son, so you set him up as the prince of the East Palace, and everyone is convinced. But the prince's brother has been married for many years, and the princess still has nothing to do, and there are no other heirs in the East Palace. The princes inevitably started to think about Yi Chu, once the incident of seizing the heir happened in the future, it would be a danger to the society of the country.

- There is no one to inherit the patriarchal law of the East Palace, and she has the responsibility of the crown princess. Erchen thought that only by deposing the crown princess and setting up a new crown princess with both virtue and ability could the East Palace prosper and uphold the country.

- Everyone knows that the prince has many internal favors, but for many years, the wives and concubines of the East Palace have not given birth to a boy and a half girl, and they either died in childbirth or slipped the fetus, which is a bad omen. Only the prince's brother gave birth to a daughter with a woman outside. What is the reason for this? Could it be that the crown princess can really get rid of the involvement?

Defu's words have been ringing in Zhu Yuanming's ears over and over again these days, and it seems that what this daughter said is not unreasonable.

But the deposition of the crown princess is a major national event after all, the Ji family is a famous family, a family of important ministers in the court, and the Ji family was established as the crown princess because of her family background. If it is not necessary, the Ji clan should not be easily deposed. And even if the Ji family is really deposed, then which family should the next crown princess go to.

The ancestors of the Ji family and the ancestors of the Zhu family were brothers, and later they rose up together to fight the world together, and later the Zhu family sat in the country, and the Ji family was a powerful person in the court, with real power but not from pride, more loyal. It can be said that he is the best ally of the Zhu family.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanming chose the Ji family as the crown princess, in order to ensure that the Ji family would be loyal to the prince.

"You choose a girl with a dignified character and beautiful flowers among the family members, and I want to make her the prince's concubine."

Zhu Yuanming took great pains to stabilize the prince's throne, and he had selected three side concubines with outstanding families for him. This is the fourth place.

After all, it is eccentric, and there are always only two side concubines, and there are actually four in the East Palace. No matter how dissatisfied the queen was, she could only slander in her heart, and replied on her face, "Yes, the concubine must find a good girl, thinking that the royal family is scattered." ”

Instead, she mentioned, "Two days ago, the Queen Mother mentioned that Princess Chongfu had not entered the palace for many days. She missed it a little and wanted to take the princess into the palace for a few days. ”

Speaking of this Chongfu princess, the queen could instantly feel that the emperor's mood was a little lower.

The queen had no hostility towards this princess, but she was a poor person. He was married at the age of fourteen, and in less than two months, he was widowed for more than eight years. A woman's best years have all become gloomy, even as a princess, fate can't make her own decisions.

"The princess has been widowed for eight years and rarely enters the palace, but this time, taking advantage of the fact that the two princes are about to get married, she will be taken into the palace to live for a while. The emperor also stayed with the princess for a while longer, and the father and daughter were close to each other. "The queen knows that he has been regretting and escaping for so many years," the concubine said, they are all ministers who are matchmakers, and they know that the concubine is seriously ill, how can they dare to use him as a candidate for the concubine for you to choose, and you chose the sick one without noticing for a while, which ruined the princess's life. ”

"You have good intentions, thinking that the horse was born into a big family, and his parents are very affectionate, and they are the most amiable people. Princess Chongfu will be able to treat her well when she marries, but she didn't think about it, and she concealed the most important serious illness, and the princess's wedding ceremony was not completed, and the horse couldn't stand it and fainted. ”

Back then, before the ceremony was held on the wedding night of Princess Chongfu and the concubine, the concubine fainted, and the whole imperial city knew about it. Therefore, everyone in the imperial city also knows that Princess Chongfu is still a virgin.

"I don't know which minister it is, and I dare to hide this kind of thing, this is the crime of deceiving the king! Could it be that the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves married in the past, and in their eyes, she was happy because the horse was seriously ill? If it is rushed, it is a noble horse, and this joy is not rushed, and the princess has become the surviving person of the horse, and she will be widowed for a lifetime. This abacus is really fine, and they don't lose anything. ”

When Zhu Yuanming heard this, his face became heavier, but he raised his eyes to look at the queen, and he had some doubts in his heart, "In the past, when you mentioned Chongfu, you always just pitied her. What's the matter, today I turned over the old accounts of being a matchmaker? ”

The queen sighed lightly, "It's not Anqing yet, you said that you would find a horse for her, and the concubine also ...... If Concubine Fu'an has a spirit in the sky......"

Zhu Yuanming suddenly understood that she was just pushing herself and others, and she didn't seem to have any other thoughts. After taking the fold, he was about to leave, leaving only one sentence, "Chongfu, take it into the palace to live." Arranged by the Queen! ”

"Yes. Congratulations to the Emperor—"

The queen saluted, and did not get up until the queen left, and her legs were stiff. Until Mama Chang Chun entered the palace to serve, she instructed, "You go quietly and say, Princess Chongfu's matter is going to be done-"
