Zhengde listened to the discussion of these palace maids, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. Suddenly, he had a trace of hatred for Liu Jin.

In the past, he couldn't get along with Jian Ning, and he was angry that Liu Jin was not sensible at most. But before Jian Ning put down his body and gave him an idea to help him get through the difficulty, he turned around and slapped Jian Ning in the face like this, this is no longer a battle of will, this is clearly Liu Jin's small temperament, not a gentleman!

He dared to do this, he didn't care about his feelings at all, where is this still a loyal person?

Zhengde's senses for Liu Jin are very complicated, so complicated that he can't explain it himself. To put it irreverently, Liu Jin actually played the role of father and mother in his life.

Although he is the only surviving child of Emperor Hongzhi and the Empress Dowager, the parents can spend little time with him after all. For as long as he can remember, it was Liu Jin who was taking care of him. This affection will not be less than that of biological parents, which is why Zhengde tolerates Liu Jin so much.

And now, this tolerance has finally reached the extreme. Dragons have reverse scales, and they die when they touch them. An emperor is an emperor, and no matter how good Liu Jin is, he is just a house slave. The slaves relied on their kindness to make it difficult for the emperor again and again, and no matter how benevolent Zhengde was, it was inevitable that hatred would arise.

After all, in his ideal, Liu Jin should be a woman who can perceive her own mind and love her like her own heart.

All the anger finally turned into a trace of resentment at this moment. Especially when I heard that Liu Jin was so bold that he withheld the money of the palace people, I felt like I was being played like a monkey. With a gloomy face, he stepped through the gate of Chengqian Palace, entered the main hall and went to the cubicle.

The orange candlelight casts a warm hue over the entire hall. In the candlelight, the slender figure was busy.

With a glance of his eyes, he knew which dishes on the table were made by her. Although there are many cooks in the palace, there is no one else who may make Jiangnan side dishes so poetic, only her.

These dishes are all her specialties, and there are sweet and sour pork ribs that she loves to eat. Looking at the busy figure and thinking about what she experienced today, Zhengde's heart became more and more guilty.

"Long live Your Majesty."

When the palace people saw Zhengde coming, they knelt down and saluted. Jian Ning turned around and said with a smile when he saw that it was Zhengde: "You're back?" Let's eat. ”

The words were flat, as if she were an ordinary woman waiting for her husband to return home, and his angry heart was comforted and slowly softened.

"Let the next person do these things."

He stepped forward and shook her hand, "I wanted to come over to accompany you earlier, but something happened in the court, and the discussion lasted for a day......"

He paused and asked, "What have you done today?" Can you still get used to it on the first day of entering the palace? ”

"It's all good."

She smiled and said: "I talked with the Queen Mother for a while, and then came back to eat and sleep, and wrote something for a while in the afternoon." ”

did not mention the fact that the palace gate was splashed with filth, which made Zhengde feel more and more guilty in his heart, and at the same time hated Liu Jin more and more.

"You're talking nonsense again."

He said, "I've heard it all. ”

"What did you hear?"

Jian Ning smiled, "Could it be that little promise?" ”

Pulling Zhengde to sit down, "I made a silver chrysanthemum soup ball today, which is made of dried white chrysanthemum, dried lily and glutinous rice flour." I sifted this glutinous rice flour several times, and it took a lot of effort to make it. This soup pill is the best to drink with soup, so try it, Your Majesty. ”

"You don't care at all?"

Zhengde was a little surprised, "The palace gate that I just moved in was ......"

"Wasn't it accidental?"

Jian Ning smiled, "Everyone has been punished by the Queen Mother, what do you care?" Your Majesty, do you really think that someone is going to plot against me? ”

She shook her head, "I have nothing to lose, besides, it was said that it was instigated, but what about the evidence?" You can't talk nonsense without evidence, can you? Your Majesty is tired for a day, don't worry about these trivial things, let's eat first. ”

Zhengde nodded, not dwelling on this topic anymore.

If there is no basis and no evidence, it is indeed not appropriate to pursue it further. It's just that no matter how you look at this matter, it looks like Liu Jin did it, even if there is no evidence, you can't let him go, you have to give him some color, otherwise he won't know who the owner of the dog is!

"Your Majesty, drinking on an empty stomach hurts your stomach, and wine is not a good thing, Your Majesty should drink less."

"I've found myself a housekeeper......

Zhengde took a sip of wine and looked melancholy, "King Anhua has rebelled." ”

"King Anhua?"

Jian Ning was stunned, and then remembered the books she had read, and couldn't help but be happy.

This King of Anhua, as described by the author of those things in the Ming Dynasty, was really born aggrieved and died obscenely.

If you rebel, you will rebel, and you will stick to it! As a result, he didn't even survive twenty days, and was captured by his subordinates. I didn't even get it done internally, and I dared to rebel, and it was so funny that it was hard not to remember this paragraph.

She looked at Zhengde's face, knowing that the confidence that the bear child had just established had been hit again, so she couldn't help pursing her lips and comforted: "Your Majesty has been focusing on the people and state affairs since the edict was issued. Maybe it was taken down before it left Anhua. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The world is too peaceful, who do you say has nothing to do when they are full and has nothing to do to lose their heads? King Anhua wants to rebel, but it doesn't mean that others also want to rebel. ”

Zhengde smiled bitterly, "Since he can do something, he must be prepared." He did not rebel against me, but in the name of punishing Liu Jin and Qing Jun. Liu Jin has been arrogant in the past few years, and he has lost his dignity in his eyes, and he doesn't know how many bad things he has done behind my back, if he uses this excuse to rebel, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will respond. ”

He paused, drank the wine, was silent for a while, as if he had made a great determination, and said in a low voice: "Although Liu Jin has served me for a while, I don't want him to end miserably in the future, so I am ready to send him down and let him go to Nanjing." ”

Jian Ning's eyelids jumped, and shock flashed in her heart.

Zhengde actually took the initiative to send Liu Jin? Why? The reason why she has been tolerating Liu Jin is because Zhengde has complicated feelings for Liu Jin. When he was growing up, he was compensated by his father's love and mother's love from Liu Jin, and he was not just a chess piece.

Many ministers did not understand this, and lost their careers and even their lives in vain.

What the ministers didn't understand, Janine did. Zhengde, an emperor with a controversial personality, has always been the object of study by historians. With the information of later generations and contact with Zhengde, it is not difficult for Jian Ning to guess what Liu Jin's position is in Zhengde's heart, so she has never said anything about punishing Liu Jin in front of Zhengde.

In other words, she didn't think about putting Liu Jin to death. Because, she knew that someone would clean up Liu Jin, and Liu Jin would be cut by a thousand knives just this year, so she just had to wait and didn't need to take risks.

But what did she hear now? Zhengde actually wants to send Liu Jin to Nanjing to retire?

She was silent for a moment and said, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ......?"

"Yun Shu, he bullied you......"

Zhengde closed his eyes, and a trace of pain flashed across his face. Jian Ning waved his hand, asked everyone to step back, held Zhengde's hand, and said: "Gonggong Liu has been by your side since you can remember, I know that he means a lot to you, and his feelings have long surpassed that of a slave, so I don't care if he can't think about it for a while." Anyway, with you to protect me, what am I worried about? You don't have to attack him for this little thing. Give me some warning, and he understands. ”

"So ......"

Zhengde opened his eyes and looked at Jian Ning fixedly, "Do you also suspect that Liu Jin did this today?" ”

Jian Ning lowered her eyes, "This Chengqian Palace was given to me to live in, and the Queen Mother also sent someone to decorate the palace, how could there be any damage?" Even if I don't want to be careful, it's hard...... Alas......"

She sighed, "Liu Jin is also a poor person." These castrated people are pitiful. Without the favor of nobles, they are nothing, and anyone can bite them and step on them. Didn't they give up their roots just to have food and clothing and not be humiliated? Gonggong Liu just tasted that His Majesty treated me so kindly......"

"Whether I am a king or not, whether he is a slave or not."

Zhengde drained another glass of wine, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened involuntarily, "Just talk about the human feelings in this world...... He! Liu Jin shouldn't have done this! ”

His face was gloomy and terrifying, "Although Liu Jin took care of me to grow up, I didn't treat him well, and gave him the greatest right in the world, I don't know how many times the words 'Emperor' have entered my ears, and I'm not a fool?" How can you not understand what these words mean? And how powerful is it? The ancients said that friends should treat each other with sincerity, and what friends think, when have you ever seen someone difficult for your friend's wife? He has forgotten ethics and morality, not to mention that I am still the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty! ”

His face became more and more gloomy, "He has the emperor's grace but he can't even tolerate the people I like, so selfish and narrow-minded, how can I not chill?!" Thinking of the master and servant, he sent him to Nanjing, leaving him to retire with peace of mind. ”

Jian Ning didn't speak, only served Zhengde with vegetables, "Let's think about anything else after eating a full meal." ”

As he spoke, he took his wine cup from his hand, "In the future, you are not allowed to drink without eating first, and besides, you can only drink three glasses a day." ”

She said as she handed the small wine cup in front of her, "Three glasses like this." ”

Zhengde was chilled, but when he looked at the small wine cup, he couldn't help but shout, "It's a big sip of such a small wine cup when all of them are combined, Jian Yunshu, you want to bully me too?!" ”

Jian Ning rolled her eyes, "I'm good for you, I don't want you to die young, I have no support in the future." ”

"You Nizi!"

He twisted her face, "You're really getting bolder, dare to say that?" Aren't you afraid of losing your head? ”

"You want me to take my head."

She pouted, "The honor and disgrace of my next life are tied to you, I haven't heard that you can still leave the palace if you marry into the heavenly family, if you don't live a hundred years old, how can I live?" ”

"You just say that you want to grow old with me."

"Phew!"

She took a sip of him, rolled her eyes, and said, "Then do you want to eat first?" Co-authored all the dishes I worked so hard to make in vain? You can't taste this ball? ”
