Cheng Ziyu smiled and nodded.

The queen was very smart, she saw the situation clearly, and knew that it was difficult to get what she wanted from the emperor, so she started from herself.

In her previous life, Cheng Ziyu had several fights with the queen, and she knew the queen's temperament and methods very well.

This time, the queen was only afraid of being taken first, and even the detour and negotiation process were saved, and she directly showed her hole cards, and even said taboo words that should not be said, which shows her sincerity. She did her best to fight for herself......

The queen came up and took Cheng Ziyu's hand.

"Of course, if you can serve your husband well and raise your offspring, the position of concubine is not unavoidable."

Cheng Ziyu looked at the queen, but the corner of her eyes kept staring at the princess's handkerchief.

Sure enough, the veil trembled violently again, and then wrinkled a large ......

The queen doesn't mind, but the crown princess may not. The concubine, the prince, the favor, the confidence, and the need to ensure that she lives a long life, it is strange that the princess does not have a mustard in her heart.

Even if it was just a pie drawn, it was enough to make the crown princess panic.

Cheng Ziyu smiled.

"But the Queen Mother just asked Jinxi about this, and Jinxi was showing no desire at that time, and suddenly someone chose to ask for it...... It doesn't seem right. ”

"So? That's okay too. Find a chance to bring it up. As long as you have this heart, there is always a chance. ”

"Can you let Jinxi think about it?"

"It's okay, but you have to know that without further ado, Hongu's patience is limited. There is no room for delay, and you'd better make a decision sooner rather than later. ”

"Yes."

Today, the queen is especially enthusiastic, and she has prepared a lot of supplements for Cheng Ziyu to bring to He......

Not long after Cheng Ziyu withdrew from the queen's courtyard, she met the fifth prince on the road.

Zhu Changzhe walked away at her, did not shy away from her, did not change his route, smiled and came openly, which made Cheng Ziyu startled.

His goal was too clear, attracting the attention of many palace maids and guards.

"I'm looking for you!" He looked right, and that kind of casual domineering made the air show a trace of ambiguity.

He pulled out the drawings.

"I have some new ideas, you can help me take a look."

Cheng Ziyu opened the picture, but heard him say in his ear:

"I'm serious! What the theater said was carefully thought out by me. I admit that there is a relationship of interest in it, but I want to get you as a person. Before, I was only a little excited, but today there was a moment when I was very unhappy. He softened: "To be precise, it's very uncomfortable. ”

Although Zhu Changzhe's mother's identity and family background are good, he is small, and he has no mother to help him shelter from the wind and rain since he was a child, and he can grow up safely, largely due to his own efforts. He has known how to restrain his edge since he was a child and grew up inconspicuously. He also knows very well what he wants, if he wants to live, if he wants to live well, he must climb higher than others.

The throne, he wants. Therefore, he is quietly working towards this goal. However, today, when the saint made it clear that he wanted to give her a marriage, and Concubine Zhao came forward to ask for marriage, and Zhu Changan came to stimulate him again, he was obviously heartbroken.

A strong desire suddenly rose, and he found that the woman, too, wanted. In addition to the interests, her smile and her people, he seemed to want more. He had a faint urge to keep her behind him.

He has always been restrained, because the more desires a person has, the more handles he has. So he usually has nothing to look at, but his mind can't be still.

He was so eager to try that he almost got up. Fortunately, the queen went out first, and he breathed a sigh of relief at the time, knowing that it was not so easy for Zhu Changan to get his wish.

And when the saint turned his head to ask him, he did not hesitate to play a little cautious. In addition to some accompanying purposes, he wanted her to see him, to know his thoughts and intentions, and he wanted to walk into her sight.

He heard that the queen was looking for her, so he ran to block her, and on the way he panicked, afraid that she would be abducted by the queen. But what the queen can give, how can he respond? What he can compete with is his heart.

So, he had to talk to her face-to-face about what he wanted to say, and he wanted to hear what she really thought.

"I don't want to miss you, I like you very much, I'm very comfortable and down-to-earth with you by my side. It's the first time I've felt this way about a woman. I have only one thought, and I can't let you go. If you nod your head, I will fight you with all my might. Think about it! ”

"I ......"

Cheng Ziyu wanted to refuse politely, but when she thought of Zhu Changzhe's scheming, she was afraid that he would find something, so she decided to shut up.

So she was noncommittal, saluted and left.

She shook her head to herself.

Without Li Chun, she would not have chosen Zhu Changzhe.

He could never give up on his future. So what he said made no sense and no confidence. She married him, and he couldn't fight for the throne. And then what? Waiting for him to kick himself away after using it like Zhu Changan in his previous life? ……

Cheng Ziyu is self-aware. In front of the powerful throne, flesh and blood relatives can be sacrificed by these people, let alone women? ……

After resting for an hour, the night tour began.

Changed into a light yellow placket with narrow sleeves and waist, and a moonflower skirt with water ripples, the whole person felt relaxed and dexterous.

This skirt is a handmade sketch by herself on those days when she traveled west by boat with the painting, and it is really extraordinary when she puts it on at this moment.

The skirt is layered with the cyan color of the transition from light to dark, with the silver line hook that seems to be absent, and when you walk, it is like a circle of water lines are blurring, and the sporadic diamonds on the skirt are like sparkling waves, shining and shining during the day, and the night is more like a quiet lake with a mysterious brightness, which is beautiful and brilliant.

Just a few days ago, the Queen Mother appreciated a set of light cyan hosta flowers of Hetian jade, and at this moment, the hairpin complements each other.

Dressed like this, her whole person is like a fairy coming out of the water, with layers of aura.

The Queen Mother looked at her and liked her very much, and couldn't help but sigh at her jade-like temperament.

"You still wear jade and look good, and the mourning family will reward you again when you get good jade!"

Along the way, she walked beside the Queen Mother and once again became the center of attention. After the farce of today's theater, the previous disdainful eyes on her disappeared.

The promising girl of good fortune may not be able to go anywhere, so even those noble girls look at her with a bit of a stammer......

The so-called night tour is actually to clear the street near Pan's house in Jinling City. This street is very prosperous, and there are no houses, it is not difficult to empty it, and it is most suitable for the Queen Mother to "experience folk customs".

The Pan family, the richest man in Jinling, and the leaders of the local government took several of the most famous families in Jinling to carry out this event together.

On both sides of the road, except for a garden left by the ancestors of the Pan family, the rest are lined with shops.

Tonight, all shops will only be open to the royal family and guests. No one else is allowed to enter.

The streets have long been emptied, and there are officers and soldiers guarding both ends of the road, so there will not be a single idle person, so from the Empress Dowager to all the guests can rest assured that they can enjoy the night tour of the south of the Yangtze River and the unique culture.

When everyone arrived, it was the beginning of the lanterns.

The sunset is like fire, and the clouds are like a dream.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, such as tea houses, restaurants, theaters, pawnshops, etc. There are many serious craftsmen on the street, merchants who sell flowers, melons and fruits and roasted goods, carts that sell pastries and wontons, and even jugglers who are stepping on stilts and breathing fire......

The Queen Mother has not walked on the street for decades, and her eyes are wet for a while.

"Mother, you can have fun on this street tonight! You can eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and play as much as you want. ”

The emperor lowered his voice, "From the restaurant to the vendors, all the food has been inspected and controlled layer by layer, and all the things that appear to be eaten and drunk are freshly made today, absolutely no problem." Even the bowls have been checked. ”

"The emperor has a heart." The Queen Mother was extremely happy, this was what she wanted.

"I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! It's all Zhe'er's idea and arrangement! The emperor nodded at Zhu Changzhe, and the queen mother also stepped forward and patted her grandson's hand.

"Thank you, the mourning family likes it very much."

focused the fire of jealousy on Zhu Changzhe, but he was still silent and unrevealed. can endure this, which made the emperor look at him a few more times.

Cheng Ziyu sighed secretly, there was no such night tour in his previous life, it turned out to be Zhu Changzhe's handwriting.

The emperor waved his hand and let them move.

A group of young sons and girls scattered.

"Emperor, this man and woman are mixed, do you want to avoid it?"

"The queen mother is relieved, do you see the people walking around? It's all our people, and nothing can happen. ”

The Queen Mother suddenly realized.

She also said that the emperor was not afraid of accidents, and brought so many people to participate, it turned out that they were all his own people.

"That's it!"

The Queen Mother looked at the whole street, and finally pointed to the most luxurious restaurant.

"If you want to play, let's go play first, and the mourning family will try this authentic Jinling cuisine first!" The Queen Mother went straight to the third floor for dinner. Cheng Ziyu is considered half a landlord, so he is naturally a companion.

The queen has not been to the market for more than ten years, and at the moment she is on the rise, the princess pointed to the juggling in front of her, and the queen's heart flew away. Surrounded by a group of concubines, they went forward.

The emperor took a few princes to have fun, and there were not many people who stayed in the restaurant. But even so, there were several tables of people.

It's also very interesting for everyone to talk and laugh.

From the third floor of the restaurant, you can have a panoramic view of the street scene of several streets, during the big birthday, the whole Jinling City has opened a night market, the lights are bright, the traffic is busy, and the air is full of songs and laughter.

The Queen Mother sat by the window, lamenting the prosperity of the world, and inexplicably felt sad.

Cheng Ziyu was about to open her mouth to persuade, but she heard a little girl with a round face and almond eyes laughing at her.

"Sister County Lord, your dress is so beautiful. Is it custom-made by this Jinling? ”

The Queen Mother suddenly came back to her senses, pointed at the girl and said with a smile: "Jinxi, don't be deceived by her, she is usually courteous, she must be planning to make a plate." ”

The girl stomped her feet and laughed, Cheng Ziyu laughed, but she only felt familiar, and she really couldn't remember who it was.

The Queen Mother pushed her to Cheng Ziyu.

"This monkey is Miss Miao Ba of the Heyang Bo family, so you can call her 'Little Ba'. She is lazy to eat, drink and have fun, I heard that this time in order to follow her to Jiangnan, she made a fuss at home for many days, and almost went on a hunger strike. Later, when the queen was laughing with the mourning family, the mourning family decided to give her grace and brought her with her. ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother is Xiaoba's great benefactor and saved Xiaoba's life. Xiaoba must tie the grass ring to repay the mother's great kindness. That Miss Miao Ba knelt on the ground with a smile, kowtowing while talking, countless cute and cute.

"The mourning family didn't save your life, you hurry up for the mourning family! You don't give the mourning family a lot of climbing, send all kinds of food to the mourning family every day, and the mourning family has gained a lot of weight in the past few days, skin monkey, hurry up and go away! The mourning family doesn't want your things, and don't want to be your benefactor! ”

Miao Ba smiled, "The people take food as the sky, everything can be left behind, only foraging is serious." What's the meaning of Xiao Bayi eating it, good things naturally have to be dedicated to the Queen Mother first! ”

"Go, go, you send a trip to eat, the mourning family will be rewarded once, you come a few more times, and the mourning house will be emptied by you."

Everyone laughed.

That Miao Bayi stomped his feet.

"Queen Mother, if you drive me again, I'm going to cry." Her eyes were really red.

The Queen Mother was stunned.

"Didn't you see? This dish is coming up, and my chopsticks haven't moved, so you're going to drive me away, I'm ...... I ......"

The crowd laughed again.

The key is that this Miao Ba is not acting, she is really delicious, which can be seen from her pink little round face.

"This girl, it's also a shame that you're a concubine, and you don't know that your mother is a person, and you can't deceive people with your round face, otherwise you'll be so hard, and those who don't know think you're a little girl who is mistreated! If you eat too much, who will dare to marry you in the future? You are poor in eating. ”

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Miao Ba flattened her mouth again.

Sitting next to her was the fifth lady of the Guozi Priest Wine Fang family, who also covered her mouth and laughed: "The Queen Mother Shengming, I heard Mrs. Miao complaining before, saying that Zhang Luo, the eighth lady in the southbound first month, bought a lot of books. At that time, Uncle Miao was shocked, and Miss Eight of the Heart Dao grew up. I didn't know that when I looked in the room of the eighth sister, it was all geographical chronicles, and dozens of pages of excerpts were made, and all of them were food plans......"

"What is a food plan?"

Miss Fang Wu smiled and trembled: "The records of the delicacies in various places, the plans for eating the delicacies, and the calculation of the amount of money ...... cost."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

For a while, the atmosphere was much better.

Relaxed and casual, he speaks a lot more freely.

Cheng Ziyu glanced at Miss Miao Ba several times, vaguely such a person, but she couldn't remember what happened in her previous life.

Miss Miao Ba was embarrassed by Miss Fang Wu in public, snorted in a low voice and glared at the past.

As soon as Miss Fang Wu raised her chin, she didn't overdo it.

Obviously, these two people are not dealing with each other.

But...... Miss Fang Wu, Cheng Ziyu remembered that she should have been promised to the prince later. Her relationship with the crown princess was also confusing, and in the end it probably broke up because of something......

Eating and drinking, Miss Miao Ba was very talkative, she sat beside Cheng Ziyu familiarly, and the food on the table was like a few treasures, innocent but not annoying.

And she pestered Cheng Ziyu to ask this and that, what she couldn't do without was food, Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but quietly look her up and down a few times......
