The palace people opened the curtains, and Mingzhu walked into the hall and said coquettishly: "Then is my aunt willing?" If you don't bother me, I'll be with you. ”

The Empress Dowager, Cui Shi and the others were stunned and said with a smile: "What do you say?" Earlier, you were asked to come to live in the palace, but you always refused, thinking that this place was stuffy and locked up for you, but now you take the initiative to agree? ”

Mingzhu couldn't say that he actually wanted to stay and do a few things, so he rolled into the arms of the Empress Dowager with a salivating face, and behaved coquettishly: "I suddenly found out in my conscience that I want to accompany you, isn't it?" ”

The Empress Dowager has no daughter, only a son of Emperor Zhengqian, who died young, and her grandson has his own mother, and because of interests, he is not close to her, but he sees Mingzhu's niece as if she is eyeballs, and when she sees her coquettish, she smiles so much that her eyes narrow, and she says in a loud voice: "Okay, good, good, as long as your mother is willing, will I have less rice here?" ”

Cui Shi was very helpless, and still said softly: "It is her blessing to be able to accompany her mother, how can the concubine refuse?" He also warned Mingzhu: "You are not allowed to come nonsense, your aunt is old, no more than when she was young, and she has no energy to accompany you crazy." ”

Mingzhu smiled: "My mother always treats me as an ignorant child, I am now over sixteen, I know everything, I naturally want to honor my aunt when I stay in the palace, where will I cause her trouble and cause trouble?" ”

Cui Shi stared at Mingzhu for a while, and when he saw that she was serious, he believed her for six points, and told her carefully for a while, and only left with his daughters-in-law when he saw that it was late. The Empress Dowager's palace already had a room with pearls, and there were all kinds of utensils and clothes in it. Mingzhu went to the Empress Dowager to make a fuss: "Auntie, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”

The Empress Dowager laughed at her: "Hungry so soon? But I didn't eat enough at Concubine Min's birthday banquet before? ”

Mingzhu said: "Concubine Min is excellent, and the birthday banquet is also very good, but I am impatient to stare at those people like monkeys, so I sit for a while and go to see Sister Changhua." ”

The Empress Dowager asked, "Is she better?" ”

Mingzhu said: "There is still a cough, but I think it is a lot of heart disease." While speaking, he observed the Empress Dowager's expression, and saw that the Empress Dowager's face was a little cold, and he knew that the matter of Changhua and his relatives had almost been decided, and it was unlikely that he would turn around again. It's nothing if she can't go back, Mingzhu feels that she is unlikely to change everyone's fate, especially Changhua, who knows that the ending is good, she can't follow it. All she could do was to fight for more benefits for Changhua, so she glanced at the people around her and said coquettishly: "I have something to say to my aunt." ”

The Empress Dowager thought she was interceding for Changhua, and said lazily: "Say it, I'll listen." "Don't let the people around you go down as if waiting for someone to go down.

Mingzhu didn't do it, and said: "This is Sister Changhua's heart, she trusted me to tell me, I trusted my aunt to tell my aunt, it's not good to let more people know." ”

The Empress Dowager had no choice but to let Wanru and the others go down, but Mingzhu was still not at ease, so she ran outside to see that no one was eavesdropping before running back to the Empress Dowager, hugging her knees and whispering: "I went to see Sister Changhua, and I heard the palace people who led the way say that there was a nest of wild ducks in the reeds by Qingbo Lake in the Hanlian Palace, so I wanted to take out two of them for Sister Changhua to raise, but I encountered an incident." ”

Seeing her solemn expression, the Empress Dowager knew something was wrong, took her hand and said, "Say it slowly." ”

"Is that so?" After listening to Mingzhu's words, the Empress Dowager sneered with a gloomy expression.

Mingzhu waited quietly for a while, but she never saw her statement, so she was a little anxious: "Auntie? ”

Only then did the Empress Dowager say: "You mean, the palace people in Concubine Min's palace happened to tell you that there was a nest of wild ducks there, and then you were waiting on the shore, and you just happened to hear someone crying in the rockery?" And then there was no one outside looking at the wind, so you went to see it like this? You can't help but jump out, and the king of England comes running to cover your mouth and does you a favor? ”

Mingzhu nodded: "That's the case." ”

The Empress Dowager's expression became more and more unsightly: "The King of England told you that he didn't do it, but Yu Wenyou did it?" ”

"yes." Mingzhu was a little aggrieved: "Doesn't my aunt believe me?" I never lied to you. ”

The Empress Dowager was noncommittal and continued to ask: "You are waiting in the pavilion, and you see the people who walked out later. At this point, there was already a fierce color in his eyes.

Mingzhu didn't know what she meant, thinking that she didn't believe herself, and hurriedly said: "If my aunt doesn't believe it, she can ask the king of England." There is also the palace man in Concubine Min's palace, he also saw it. ”

The Empress Dowager shook her hand: "No need, you can forget about this matter for the time being, don't mention it to anyone, and don't show the slightest clue, your father and I have our own decisions." ”

Mingzhu grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously: "I don't want Yu Wenlong, I feel disgusted when I think of him." If you have to let me marry him, I'll castrate him!" Call him a man! ”

"Presumptuous! Who taught you this? The Empress Dowager shouted angrily and looked at her coldly: "Then who do you want?" In the past, King Lin'an was you crying and shouting that you must marry, and you were about to get married and suddenly regretted it, and now you are starting to find fault with King Anyang, what kind of person do you want to marry? ”

Mingzhu lowered her head and whispered, "Anyway, I won't marry these two people." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, it's great if you don't cause trouble to me and your father." ”

Mingzhu felt so wronged, her eyes turned red, and the Empress Dowager ignored her, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "You said Changhua just now, what kind of heart disease does she have?" ”

Mingzhu didn't dare to hurt Changhua because of her own affairs, so she hurriedly cheered up and said: "It's nothing, she just listened to some rumors, saying that the ......" She pointed in the direction where the Empress Dowager Min lived, and whispered: "Said that the son who wanted to marry her to Zheng Guogong was so sad that she fell ill." ”

Zheng Guogong has a heavy army, but he only has an unsuccessful son, who sleeps in flowers and willows all day long, and has a very bad reputation. Empress Dowager Min has been making frequent moves recently, buying people's hearts everywhere, and wants to marry Changhua, who has no support, to the prince of Zheng Guogong, in order to curry favor with Zheng Guogong. The Empress Dowager said disdainfully: "No matter how good I am, I won't let a good princess go with a wine bag and rice bag." Although the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, Changhua is my daughter, and it is up to me, the mother-in-law, to decide. ”

Mingzhu was confused, so she laughed: "I also comforted her like this, Sister Changhua also said that she has been taken care of by her aunt all these years, as long as her aunt opens her mouth and asks her to go wherever she goes, she is that person, she is not convinced." ”

The Empress Dowager wrinkled her eyebrows: "Nonsense, what kind of person?" That's the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother! Her eldest sister-in-law! ”
