Chapter 6: The Emperor's Thoughts

Zhu Yijun returned to the palace in a good mood with the lamp, and when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace and changed his clothes, Zhu Yijun hung the lamp in a conspicuous place and looked at the lamp.

"Your Majesty, there's nothing unusual about this lamp?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled, as he looked at it, this lamp was full of ghost paintings.

"You don't know the goods." Zhu Yijun said that he was taught to read and write since he was a child, and this writing is based on Zhou Zheng, and Xi's hand is good, but Zhu Yijun highly respects cursive in his heart, "There are many cursive writers, and there are many people in the world who are sought after by them, but this one has the same vision as me and likes Huaisu everyone." Zhu Yijun said. This word is wonderfully written, and it is not possible to write this freely without Sanjiu's hard practice. ”

"Such a good word, should it really be written by that young lady?" Zhang Cheng asked, "Why didn't she admit that she did it?" ”

"The girl's family is thin-skinned, and the lamp she made herself was taken away by a foreign man, so I'm sorry." Zhu Yijun said, "Do you remember where she is, go back and ask someone to write her name." ”

"Yes." Zhang Cheng responded that this girl has been created.

"Your Majesty." Feng Bao came in, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shoufu is asking to see Your Majesty outside the palace." ”

"What's the matter with him at such a late hour?" Zhu Yijun said.

"Lord Shousuke knows that His Majesty is out of the palace." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.

"Oh." Zhu Yijun said, "You go back, I already know what Mr. is going to say, I have returned to Luan now, what lessons are there tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shoufu is already waiting outside the palace." Feng Bao lowered his head and said, Zhu Yijun couldn't hold back, and the candlestick in his hand was thrown to the ground by him, "Isn't this curfew in the palace a joke for Zhang Shoufu?" ”

The people in the hall knelt on the ground.

After three breaths, Zhu Yijun adjusted his mood first, "Get up." Mr. Xuan's audience. ”

Zhang Juzheng is already dying, but he is in great spirits, and his well-built beard is full of spirit, he came in and saluted Zhu Yijun, his knees have not completely bent down, Zhu Yijun has already come down to support, "Mr. is exempt, come here, show Mr. a seat." ”

"Minister, thank you for your grace." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Your Majesty, I'm out of the palace today." Zhang Juzheng said.

"I can't hide anything, sir." Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said, "I said before that the Lantern Festival lights were held in the palace, and Mr. said that the people in the world are limited, and the harem should not be extravagant and wasteful, and I deeply think so. The people's spontaneous lights are in full bloom, and I want to have fun with the people. ”

"Your Majesty, the lord of the world, the white dragon fish suit went to the people, if there is a mistake, what face does the minister have to go to see the first emperor." Zhang Juzheng said, "Your Majesty has to go to the people to have fun with the people for the Lantern Festival, so how can you be worthy of the ardent expectations of the first emperor and the queen mother's teachings." ”

Zhu Yijun's hand clenched into a fist under his sleeve, "What Mr. said is that I will not do such a thing in the future." ”

After Zhang Juzheng left, someone from the palace of Empress Dowager Li also said that the Empress Dowager wanted to see the emperor, but Zhu Yijun looked bad, "I am tired, the queen mother wants to see me, and I will go again tomorrow." ”

As a result, on the second day, he was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Li before he was early, and Zhang Cheng was also punished by Feng Bao to go to the master of ceremonies and beat him for twenty boards, and Zhu Yijun sat in the Qianqing Palace and only felt that nothing was going well.

The emperor brought a lamp from outside the palace, which was naturally in the hands of the Queen Mother, and Zhang Cheng, who was beaten to the board, was taken to Shoukang Palace after a little repair, and the Empress Dowager Li sat on the top, "The mourning family heard that last night in the small lamp market of Andingfang in Deshengmen, a lamp of three thousand taels was marked away. ”

"No, no." Zhang Cheng hurriedly shook his head, "The lamp that Your Majesty took only cost three taels, and it was all cut silver horns, and there was no palace mark on it." ”

Empress Dowager Li bowed her head slightly when she heard this, it is normal for the emperor to spend three taels of silver to buy a lantern, if he spends three thousand taels to buy a lantern, it means that the previous dynasty will also make a trouble. "What's so special about that lamp that the Emperor brought back?" Empress Dowager Li asked again.

"It's just a simple marquee." Zhang Cheng replied, "Your Majesty still likes the words on the lamp very much. ”

"The lamp with the inscription is probably not made by a lady." The grandmother next to the Empress Dowager Li said that she said so because she knew the Empress Dowager's worries. "Have you seen that lamp of three thousand taels? What does it look like? ”

Zhang Cheng concealed that this lamp was made by a lady, not only that, but His Majesty had also seen people, and said that he wanted to make a note that her house was going to be selected to enter the palace, he bowed his head and replied, "The slave has not seen the bidding process, and I don't know which lamp it is?" ”

I don't know in the palace, but the people know that the lantern made of 2,000 gold in Wang Qianhu's house was taken away with 3,000 taels, who wants to spend so much silver to buy a lantern, it can be seen that the drunkard does not mean to drink. Later, it was faintly rumored that the emperor had come to Andingfang Xiaodeng Market that night, and the rumors were even more terrible.

Later, it was the emperor who visited Andingfang at night, saw the beauty of Wang Erqianjin, was shocked, and fell in love at first sight, so he spent 3,000 taels to buy Wang Erqianjin's lantern as a love token, and 2000 gold was going to enter the palace as a mother.

Because of her daughter's beauty, Cui Shi used to be very keen to take her daughter out, otherwise how could her daughter's beauty be praised by others, but now she is uneasy. As soon as such rumors come out, what can I do about my daughter's marriage?

The woman was only concerned about such a problem. Wang Wei taught his daughter a lesson when he went back that night, "Is your father a high-ranking official or a rich man, you use such good materials to make lanterns for relieving boredom, and someone will come to investigate your father tomorrow." ”

Wang Zhixi was accompanying his wife at home, and she was scolded for splitting her head and covering her face without knowing anything, and her eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her face with a handkerchief. Cui's emotions that were finally calmed down were ignited again, and he yelled at Wang Wei, "Isn't your eldest daughter also used for gold and silver, how can she use it, the second daughter can't use it." ”

"The big girl is only used at home, does she take it out to show off?" Wang Wei, "Wealth is not exposed, don't you know this?" ”

"It's okay to have a big girl, but it's not good to have a second girl." Cui Shi said, "Xi'er, you are not loved by your father, it's not your fault, it's your mother's fault, it's your fault that you weren't born in Zhang's belly." ”

"Are you crazy?" Wang Wei said angrily, "How many years has the Zhang family been dead, and you are still so resentful." I said that the second girl and the third girl are not close to their sister, all because of you. ”

"If you care so much about the Zhang family, why did you go to great lengths to marry me back then." After Wang Wei finished speaking, he left.

This was just a small episode that happened in the main courtyard, and the next day, the people of the Lantern Festival sent silver to Wang Wei, saying that the second lady's lamp was sold for a high price of three thousand taels yesterday.

"How can there be so many?" The old lady was surprised and said, "Why did you send the silver here, wasn't it the rule of the previous years to send it to Tzu Chi Monastery together?" ”

"The first amount is too big, and the second lady's lamp seems to be expensive." The person who came laughed and said,

"So I still have to ask Wang Qianhu's opinion."

"Let's do it according to the rules of previous years." Wang Wei said, "Both horizontal and vertical are children playing indiscriminately. The inner room is too fond of children, and the gold and silver used for jewelry are also taken out for the children to mess around. ”

In the afternoon, it was rumored that His Majesty the Emperor had bought the lamp, and Wang Wei's face darkened. "You guys don't go out lately." Wang Wei said to Cui Shi and Wang Zhixi.

The old lady was also very worried, "It's just a lamp, how can such a thing happen, so what can I do about the marriage of the two girls in the future?" "Can quietly take out three thousand taels to buy lanterns is not a simple family, this rumor comes out, people who do not have this family background will not come to ask for marriage with the second girl, if there is really such a family to ask, how can they be worthy of such a family background, the second girl can have a comfortable life when she marries. There are also rumors of His Majesty the Emperor, now even people with family backgrounds have to wait and see, if the second girl is selected into the palace, is it a simple place in the palace? The second girl looks like this, everyone has to guard against her and attack her. If you don't enter the palace, it's even worse, even if you are ridiculed, if you are Mingzhi, you have to spend a lifetime of the ancient Buddha.

"Go tell the master, let him inquire when the selected father-in-law will come to Deshengmen." The old lady made a decision in an instant, "The second girl should be on the list of selections." ”

Wang Ronghe was holding Wang Yuqing's hand and writing, "Auntie, that person said to go back to the palace yesterday?" Is his home a royal palace? ”

Wang Ronghe was stunned, "Did you really hear him say that he went back to the palace?" "Thinking back to that person yesterday, he didn't have any extravagance, nobility, and a dragon type behind him, just an ordinary person, tall and thin.

Wang Yuqing nodded. Wang Ronghe held his little hand, "His home is not the palace, but a place called the palace." "Wang Ronghe wrote Gong on the paper." Qing'er only told her aunt about this, and no one could say anything about it in the future. ”

Wang Yuqing nodded.

Wang Ronghe thought it was better not to tell the third brother, the third brother might have offended yesterday, and those who didn't know were not guilty. Tell him that he has also shown his whereabouts. She looked at the note in her hand that no one cared about, horizontal and vertical block letters, and the pen edge could be seen to be years of practice.

This is a royal pen. Wang Ronghe shrugged his shoulders and thought, rolled it up and threw it into the large porcelain jar where the scroll was placed, a small roll, and soon disappeared.

Wang Yaliang was still pestering Qi Da today, "The lamp that your friend took yesterday, why do you say he will give it to me." "I have to go and see that person in person before we discuss.

Qi Da was very distressed, His Majesty said that he would hide his identity, and where would he go to become a friend.
