Inside the Kunning Palace.

It was late at night, Zhang Yue was leaning on the bed reading "Tang and Song Poems", and Zhu Youzhu sent someone to tell her in the evening that she was going to discuss matters with the ministers tonight and stay in the imperial study.

Zhang Yue has read this "Tang and Song Poems" many times, but he is still confused about the rhyme.

As she was drowsy, a man flashed into the inner sanctum. As soon as Zhang Yue wanted to see who it was, he was swept into a hot body, and a familiar ambergris came.

Zhang Yue asked suspiciously, "Isn't the emperor going to spend time in the imperial study with his ministers tonight?" How do you get back...... Uh-huh-hmm....."

Before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by two hot lips, and Zhu Youjiao, who has always been gentle and self-controlled, was anxious and abnormal today, and kept kissing Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue gradually lost, and the two fell into the spring tent......

Late at night, Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue, who was tired and asleep beside him, lightly imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and then put on his coat and walked out of the hall, Xiao Jing stepped forward quickly.

Zhu Youzhang's eyes were bottomless, and he said in a deep voice, "The palace maid Zheng is secretly locked in the cold palace and guarded, and she is not allowed to contact outsiders. The matter of giving birth to a child in the womb shall not be mentioned again in the future. ”

"Slaves obey!" A layer of dense sweat oozed from Xiao Jing's forehead, and he hurriedly answered.

Zheng Jinlian was still lying in the side hall of the West Palace at the moment, she couldn't understand that the emperor stood up, and instead of coming to her, he left here quickly. After being excited all day, she is still complete.

The door of the hall was pushed open with a creak, and hope surged in Zheng Jinlian's eyes, "Your Majesty, the slave knows that you will come back." She said coquettishly.

No one answered her, a group of eunuchs walked in, lifted the quilt, and put a rag on her indiscriminately, Zheng Jinlian panicked, "What are you going to do?" Do you know who I am? I'm the emperor's woman, the emperor? Emperor? You're here to save ...... Woowoo woo ....."

A eunuch shoved a rag into her mouth and stopped all her words. Several eunuchs wrapped her in a quilt and carried her out of the palace, Zheng Jinlian looked helplessly at the dark night, her eyes full of fear and unwillingness......

In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of the first month of this month, Zhu Youzhu took Zhang Yue to Cining Palace according to the usual practice to greet the two queen mothers.

Before entering the gate of Cining Palace, I heard bursts of laughter in the hall. The two walked into the hall, only to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother Wu sitting on the top seat, and the Queen Mother Wu was laughing with a young girl next to her with a smile on her face.

"Erchen greets the two queen mothers!" Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue gave a salute to the two queen mothers.

Empress Dowager Wu turned her head and looked at the two,

"The emperor is here, no need to be polite, sit down."

Zhu Youzhu straightened up, gently helped Zhang Yue up, and the two sat on the seat below.

"Wu Liang'er sees the emperor long live, and the queen mother is a thousand years old."

Zhu Youzhang's body stiffened slightly, and he looked at this woman, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Liang'er, I didn't recognize it just now, why are you?" Hurry up. ”

Zhang Yue looked at Zhu Youzhang's expression and seemed to be very familiar with the woman, and then looked at the woman carefully, only to see that the woman had long black hair, fair skin, and a pair of watery eyes on the face of the melon seed were looking at Zhu Youzhu with affection.

The woman bowed and replied, "It's my aunt's kindness, and I entered the palace yesterday." ”

Empress Dowager Wu said with a smile, "Liang'er has been transferred from you to Nanjing Xiaoling as a palace maid since she was a teenager and has now been ten years old. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, and said with a sense of feeling, "I haven't seen you for many years." I remember that I was not even eight years old when we were separated. ”

Zhang Yue understood next to him, daring to love whether this Wu Liang'er was the palace maid who took care of her when Zhu Youzhu was young, or the niece of the Empress Dowager Wu. Not only did he look at her a few more times.

Wu Liang'er said softly, "Liang'er misses her aunt and ... Emperor. often recalls the days when he served the emperor, and now he can return to the palace to see the sky again, and he has no regrets in this life. As he spoke, tears seemed to roll in his eyes.

Empress Dowager Wu frowned slightly, "What are you talking about, Wan Zhen'er's demon woman framed the emperor many times back then, and it was you who secretly guarded many times at a young age. Only now can the emperor inherit the unification. You are a meritorious person, and you should be rewarded! What do you say, Your Majesty? ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded slightly, "What the queen mother said is very true. ”

Empress Dowager Wu said, "The emperor is now empty in the harem, Liang'er and you are childhood sweethearts, and they have shared hardships since childhood, and it is better to seal her ...... if the mourning family sees it."

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, and his eyes looked at Zhu Youjiao.

"I named her the lord of Huimin County, and gave her a mansion in the capital, ten thousand taels of silver." Zhu Youzhu interrupted Empress Dowager Wu's words at the right time.

Empress Dowager Wu's face was ugly, "Your Majesty, if the mourning family remembers correctly, Liang'er was originally two years older than you, and now she is over twenty years old." Ordinary girls have long passed the age of marriage at this age. Liang'er is naturally beautiful, if she hadn't offended Wan Zhen'er for you back then, how could she have been demoted to the filial piety tomb to be the palace maid guarding the tomb, and how could she not be married now. ”

A trace of guilt flashed in Zhu Youzhang's eyes, but he didn't answer. Empress Dowager Wu continued: "Now that your harem is empty and you have no heirs, it is time to recruit concubines, you don't like others, Liang'er and you have a relationship when you are young, and your virtue and appearance are excellent." It is the most suitable to be your concubine. The mourning family knows that you love the queen, but Liang'er made the concubine a concubine, which does not affect the queen's status in the harem, on the contrary, it can also assist the queen in managing the harem. The queen understands the righteousness, and for the sake of the country's longevity, she should also approve of the mourning family's doing, right? ”

Saying that, Empress Dowager Wu glanced at Zhang Yue meaningfully. Anger rose in Zhang Yue's heart, and he talked about Guozuo again, and just wanted to refute it.

With a faint smile on his face, Zhu Youzhu gently held Zhang Yue's hand, and inadvertently glanced at the Queen Mother who had been silent beside Empress Dowager Wu.

The Queen Mother said slowly beside her, "Sister, it is quite appropriate for the mourning family to see that the emperor first named Liang'er as the lord of Huimin. In any case, Liang'er has suffered a lot over the years. The status of this county lord is completely deserved. She has just returned to the palace, and there are some things that don't have to be rushed. ”

Empress Dowager Wu's face looked better, "The mourning family has been inseparable from Liang'er for the past two days, and the emperor won't let her go to live in the mansion outside the palace." Give her a place to live in the palace, and it will be convenient for her to accompany the mourning family. ”

Zhu Youzhu hurriedly nodded, "What the queen mother said is very true, so give Liang'er the fragrant pavilion closest to Cining Palace to live." ”

Wu Liang'er knelt on the ground and hurriedly thanked the emperor.

Next, the two queen mothers asked Wu Liang'er about some things in Xiaoling, and Wu Liang'er kept recalling some interesting things about Zhu Youjiao's side when she was young, and glanced at Zhang Yue with deep meaning from time to time.

Zhang Yue was extremely uncomfortable when she was glanced at by Wu Liang'er, Zhu Youzhu pinched her little hand in a timely manner, and left Cining Palace with Zhang Yue on the grounds that there was something wrong with the previous dynasty.
