When Empress Dowager Zhou heard Jian Huaizhen's words, she was very unhappy to hear it. You said that this matter has nothing to do with Wan Zhen'er, does it have anything to do with the mourning family, thinking of this, she stood up, her face was pale. Asked Jian Huaizhen: "I don't know what the eldest princess means, what do you mean by this, this matter has nothing to do with Wan Zhen'er, does it have anything to do with my emperor?" ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his hand, and said calmly: "Empress Dowager Zhou, please don't be impatient, since the matter has reached this point, now that she is investigating who is right and wrong, there is no point in investigating it, what if you can find it out, can you give an explanation to the concubines in the harem?" Can you give an explanation to the ministers, can you give an explanation to all the diseases in the world? can still give an explanation to Empress Wu.

Jian Huaizhen's words were exactly what the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to hear, and when she saw Jian Huaizhen say this, she sat down again and asked, "I don't know how to solve it, princess." ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a long time, and said to the empress dowager of the two palaces in a serious voice: "Since the matter has come to this point, there are only two ways, the first is to kill Wan Zhen'er and explain to Empress Wu and the ministers. It's just that in this way, it is very unfair to Wan Zhen'er, she is innocent, not to mention that Wan Zhen'er is a person of the Empress Dowager Zhou, if she is killed, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the people of the world and the ministers to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw Jian Huaizhen's words, she was obviously on her side, and suddenly a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, what you said is very true. ”

Jian Huaizhen continued to say slowly: "There is another way, which is to make the emperor Nawan Zhen'er a concubine. In this way, it can not only appease the ministers, but also block the mouth of the world, the only person who is sorry is Queen Wu, but the emperor and the queen have been coming for a long time, so that the emperor will have time to slowly appease the queen in the future, I don't know what the queen mother of the two palaces wants. ”

Empress Dowager Qian has always felt that Jian Huaizhen is fair, but in this matter, she is inevitably a little biased in favor of Wan Zhen'er and a little unfair to Queen Wu. In any case, on the day of Empress Wu's wedding, the emperor actually fooled around with other women, which was unbearable for any woman. Therefore, Empress Dowager Qian said to Jian Huaizhen quite thoughtfully: "The eldest princess, the mourning family always thinks that this matter is handled like this, I'm afraid it is not good for Queen Wu, I don't know the eldest princess, is there any other way?" ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "There is no other way in this palace, and there are only these two ways that this palace can think of." The queen mother of the two palaces may wish to discuss with each other, and if she can think of a better way, the palace should also agree. After Jian Huaizhen finished speaking, he said: "The palace is also lacking, the queen mother of the two palaces will discuss here, and the palace will go first to rest," After speaking, he turned around and opened the curtain and walked in.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Empress Dowager Qian with some pride, and said in her heart, "How about it, you see that even the eldest princess is on the side of the mourning family, what can you do." ”

Empress Dowager Qian didn't know about Tang Jingran, she always felt that Jian Huaizhen was biased in dealing with Wan Zhen'er's matter, and she helped Wan Zhen'er, which was unfair to Queen Wu. Despite this, things have come to this point, and she can't think of a better way, so she has no choice but to do what Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Zhou want.

So, the result of the final discussion of the three of them was that Wan Zhen'er was named a noble person and served by the emperor's side.

Although Wan Zhen'er is older, she may be able to mention the emperor and make the emperor more diligent and love the people. After this incident, Empress Dowager Qian always had some guilt in her heart, she was sitting alone in the Yongshou Palace, secretly thinking about the ins and outs of this matter, but she heard her palace maid reply, saying that Jian Huaizhen was here.

Although Empress Dowager Qian was a little dissatisfied with Jian Huaizhen's handling of this matter, she didn't want to, and lost her etiquette to the elders, so she said, "Quickly invite the eldest princess in." ”

So, Jian Huaizhen walked in. When Jian Huaizhen saw Empress Dowager Qian, she was worried when she saw her. Then he asked: "Empress Dowager Qian, are you unhappy for the sake of Empress Wu?" ”

Seeing that Jian Huaizhen was straight to the point, Queen Qian told her the difficulties in her heart, so she nodded and said: "What the eldest princess said is true, the mourning family really can't understand why in this matter, the eldest princess would choose to wronged the child of the Wu family, and let Wan Zhen'er be a nobleman." If this happens to us, we may not be able to deal with it in our hearts.

Jian Huaizhen sighed, and for a moment he only felt that his mind was disordered and his thoughts were surging. She said to the Empress Dowager Qian: "What the Empress Dowager said is that we are just in the harem, deceitful and intriguing, and sometimes we can't control the whole situation, that's not okay."

Take this matter as an example, if Wan Zhen'er is really killed, how can the Empress Dowager Zhou be convinced in her heart, in this way, the mustard between the Empress Dowager Zhou and the palace, and the queen mother, will be deeper, and the queen mother of the two palaces will have a mustard, which is not a good thing for the entire harem. Although Jian Huaizhen said this, she had to admit in her heart that she had some selfish intentions and didn't want to cause any harm to Tang Jingran because of this incident.

Of course the Empress Dowager Qian didn't know, but when she heard Jian Huaizhen say this, her heart suddenly became clear, and what Jian Huaizhen said was not unreasonable, if the queen mother of the two palaces was not in harmony, the palace people would laugh at each other, and the harem would cheat, and it might become very chaotic.

Queen Qian said respectfully: "The eldest princess, what you said is very true, in the end, the mourning family wants to be bad." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly, silent. Then he said: "What the Queen Mother said is not unreasonable, now that I think about it, we still owe a person."

How did Empress Dowager Qian not know that the person Jian Huaizhen said was Empress Wu. Empress Wu did not get her husband's mercy on the wedding night, and she didn't even drink the wine, and it was a great shame for her to say it, and she was laughed at by the world.

Jian Huaizhen said to Empress Dowager Qian: "Empress Dowager, now that the matter is over, why don't we go and see Empress Wu and comfort her." Although she didn't find comfort on her husband's side, she could finally be comforted by our two old people, and her heart couldn't be more happy.

When Empress Dowager Qian heard Jian Huaizhen say this, she also had this intention. said in a loud voice: "What the eldest princess said is extremely true. In that case, let's go at once. ”

So, the two came to Kunning Palace hand in hand. It turned out that last night, the emperor pampered Wan Zhen'er in the Qianqing Palace, but did not come to Kunning Palace to drink wine with the queen, and soon spread to every corner of the palace, even the ministers in the court, and the people, there are many people who know.

Even though Empress Wu is virtuous, she also feels unbearable, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that this matter is unfair to herself, and the more she thinks about it, the more angry she feels. Despite this, she was just hiding and crying alone, and she didn't want to cause any trouble for the queen mother of the two palaces, she was hiding in the room and crying, but she heard the palace maid come to report that the queen mother of the two palaces was coming.

Empress Wu's heart sank, knowing that the queen mother of the two palaces must have come for last night's incident. She mustered herself and glanced at the candles burned to ashes above the candlesticks. Last night, she was alone, wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, on the high bed, waiting quietly for the emperor, waiting until dawn, the so-called wax torch turned to ashes, low tears, she felt that she was talking about herself. She forcibly suppressed her disordered mood, put on her appearance and walked out of the dormitory, and came to the main hall to meet Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian.

Seeing Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Knock on the Empress Dowager Qian, knock on the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Qian, Wanfu to the eldest princess." ”

Empress Dowager Qian and Jian Huaizhen glanced at each other, and the two saw that Empress Wu had some tears on her face, but they still forced a smile. There is pity and pity in my heart.

Queen Qian hurriedly took her hand and sat down, and said to her, "Child, you have been wronged. ”

Empress Wu felt very aggrieved in her heart, and when she heard Queen Qian's words, she couldn't suppress her disordered mood, she suddenly burst into tears, tears fell like rain, and she couldn't say a word when she sobbed.

Seeing her like this, Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but ask herself, "Could it be that I really handled this matter wrongly?" She sighed, and turned to Queen Wu and said, "Child, if you have any grievances in your heart, don't suppress it, just say it." ”

Empress Wu bowed down and said respectfully: "To be able to thank the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess to visit, the concubines have no grievances, and the concubines are full of gratitude." ”

Empress Wu's words were so sensible, which made Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian feel even more uncomfortable.

The two of them faced Queen Wu and picked up some nice words to comfort her, although Queen Wu was only sixteen years old, she was also a sensible child. In front of Jian Huaizhen and Queen Qian, she was very knowledgeable and understood the overall situation, even for Wan Zhen'er to be named a nobleman, she did not make any slight remarks. After Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian comforted Empress Wu, the two walked out of the palace together.

Jian Huaizhen looked at the spring flowers in the imperial garden, but seeing the beauty of the flowers, it was difficult to live up to such a grand scene. Isn't this such a beautiful spring flower like a queen in a good old age? Thinking of this, she felt a little more comforted in her heart.

She said to the Empress Dowager Qian: "The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry too much, although the emperor does not have a deep affection for the queen now, after all, both of them are young couples, the so-called young couples are old companions, they get along for a long time, and they will always understand." Jian Huaizhen's words caused layers of ripples in Queen Qian's heart.

Back then, she also married Zhu Qizhen at the age of sixteen, and in the following ten years, the two have been in love with each other. got married at that time, Zhu Qizhen did not have deep feelings for her, and the relationship between the two people was also slowly cultivated in the future, in the passing years. Thinking of this, she felt a lot of comfort in her heart, so she said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess is right, although we are forced by the situation to marry Wan Zhen'er to the emperor as a nobleman, but Wan Zhen'er is always thirty-six years old, and the queen is only sixteen, it is a good year, I believe that the relationship between the emperor and the queen will slowly get better."

Jian Huaizhen saw that Queen Qian could think clearly, and said in a loud voice: "What the queen said is that since things have come to this point, it is better for us to be peacemakers today and go to see the emperor." ”

Queen Qian looked at the unreachable sky, and there were geese singing from the sky in the distance. Guanshan thousands of miles of flying geese chirp, what a sad situation.

Empress Qian immediately agreed: "Since the eldest princess said so, "Let's go to the emperor." After speaking, the two went to the Qianqing Palace hand in hand.

Since last night, after drinking and having sex and pampering Wan Zhen'er, Zhu Jianshen has been upset about this incident. Wan Zhen'er is thirty-six years old, he is just an eighteen-year-old boy, not to mention that Wan Zhen'er is not the person she likes at all, and she has no feelings for Wan Zhen'er at all. Now he was pampered by mistake, but he did not go to drink wine with the queen, which caused an uproar. He believed that the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and Jian Huaizhen would not stop there, and the courtiers would definitely discuss this matter. Therefore, Zhu Jianshen didn't even go to the early dynasty, and kept staying in the Qianqing Palace to deal with official business, and heard the eunuch say back and forth: "Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess are here." ”

He immediately became a little impatient, and waved his hand in a little panic and said, "You go to inform the Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess, just say that I am not feeling well, and I don't see them, and when I am better, I will go to them in person to ask for guilt."

His voice had just fallen. Jian Huaizhen and Empress Dowager Qian had already walked in.

When Zhu Jianshen saw the two, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed look on his face. Jian Huaizhen smiled softly, her smile was like a spring breeze in March, very warm, and swept away the haze in Zhu Jianshen's heart.

She smiled and said, "Why doesn't the emperor want to see us two old people." ”

Zhu Jianshen looked at Jian Huaizhen with some embarrassment, glanced at Empress Dowager Qian, and couldn't say a word.

While Empress Dowager Qian was talking, she still sat down on the side. Jian Huaizhen walked to Zhu Jianshen's side and said, "Everyone in the palace already knows about last night's incident, but the emperor is worried about this matter. ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his head, looked at Jian Huaizhen solemnly and said, "Eldest Princess, what happened last night was really not intentional for Sun Er, and Sun Er doesn't know why he did such a stupid thing." ”

Jian Huaizhen sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: "You don't know, this palace knows that life is a lover, this hatred is not about the wind and the moon, and the word love is the most hurtful." Since you like to be shocked, you are naturally upset because of the big wedding, and it is not unforgivable to do such a thing. She thought so, but didn't say it.

She just said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, no matter what happened yesterday, the matter has passed, something big has happened, you are also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, aren't you?" Is there anything else that can make it difficult for you? ”

Jian Huaizhen's words greatly inspired Zhu Jianshen's determination. He raised his voice and asked Jian Huaizhen, "What the eldest princess said is true. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded seriously and said, "Seriously, what happened last night, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the Palace have already helped you deal with it." Although the emperor is drunk and disorderly, he has spoiled Wan Zhen'er, and since he has been favored, he has to give an explanation to others and the ministers. The queen mother of this palace and the two palaces have already made a private proposition to help the emperor accept Zhen'er as a nobleman, if the emperor doesn't like it, he doesn't have to see her, just give her a name and comfort her.

Jian Huaizhen's words were said word by word to Zhu Jianshen's heart.

Zhu Jianshen responded: "What the eldest princess said is very true, although her grandson is unintentional, she has always hurt others, and now she can give her a name, so that she is no longer enslaved like an ordinary palace maid, and her grandson has just passed away in her heart." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said, "Wan Zhen'er, you have been here, but what about Queen Wu?" Empress Wu is just a sixteen-year-old girl, and now she has been wronged like this, how do you say to compensate her, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Jianshen only felt frightened for a moment, he listened to Jian Huaizhen's words, put himself in the shoes of Empress Wu, and felt that what he had done was really wrong. Although he doesn't like Empress Wu, since he has already accepted her as the queen, he has no choice but to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and treat her better, instead of letting her endure such misery alone. He thought of Empress Wu, who was alone last night, crying alone at the red candle until dawn, and felt very unbearable in his heart. opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know if Empress Dowager Qian and the eldest princess have visited Empress Wu?" How is she now. ”

Empress Dowager Qian saw that Zhu Jianshen seemed to care for the Wu family, and felt a trace of comfort in her heart. Then he said: "Wu's child, but also know the general situation, last night's incident, the mourning family can also see that she is uncomfortable, the mourning family and the eldest princess went to visit her, but she did not complain, all the suffering, all the tears, swallowed to their hearts, such a virtuous queen, the world is really rare." Your Majesty, you have to cherish it no matter what. ”

Zhu Jianshen's expression was solemn, and he said to Queen Qian and Jian Huaizhen very solemnly: "Queen Qian, the eldest princess, don't worry, I will definitely treat her well and will not let her down." ”

"Okay, in that case, tonight, why don't the emperor go to Kunning Palace to accompany the emperor for a night," Queen Qian said with a smile.

Zhu Jianshen also wanted to make up for his mistakes, and when he heard Queen Qian say this, he immediately said: "Everything will be done according to what the Queen Mother said." ”

So, that night, Zhu Jianshen stayed in Kunning Palace.

Although Empress Wu is young, she is a very virtuous person in the end, she usually has no quarrel with the world and is indifferent to others. Although he was wronged on the wedding night, now when he sees the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, he comes to comfort himself in person. Seeing the emperor again and making amends to himself, he suddenly felt comforted in his heart, and the events on the night of the wedding were no longer to blame.

Zhu Jianshen saw that although the Wu family was not as beautiful as Tang Jingran, he saw that she was virtuous and virtuous, and her words and deeds were quite dignified and elegant, and he admired her a little in his heart. In this way, the relationship between the husband and wife became more and more harmonious, and eight or nine of the ten days between the two were mixed together.
