Chapter 181: News from Outside the Palace
"Shen Jiaxing, the Phoenix Girl is ...... What does this mean?"
The shopkeeper read it on the side, confused.
Gong Wu and Gong Wen glanced at each other, their expressions were solemn, they burned the letter, and then said, "It seems that the master wants us to build momentum."
"Momentum?"
The shopkeeper was even more puzzled.
Gong Wen explained: "Go ahead, spread the news that Shen Xiuzhi, the daughter of the Shen family, is the Phoenix Daughter of the Heavenly Mandate, and the only person in the world who is qualified to be the Empress Xuanyuan, the bigger this movement is, the better."
If you want to build momentum, it is very simple for Cinnabar Building, and when the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't say much, and quickly took the order to go down to do things.
Although Zhu Jiu was in the palace, he had been paying attention to the movements outside. qδ
According to the information she got from Zhu Tai'an, now in Xuanyuan Country, the person in charge of the Cinnabar Building is Gong Wen and Gong Wu, these two people she had met ten years ago, they are shrewd and cautious, and they are twins, and they complement each other in doing things, and when the letter is sent, the two of them must also understand what she means.
She sat in the courtyard, looking at the chess game on the table, holding black and white chess pieces to play against herself, at this time the white characters had reached the endgame, and Zhu Jiu's mind also appeared in the current situation in the capital.
Since the letter was sent, two days have passed, and now there are nursery rhymes sung all over the capital, saying that Shen Xiuzhi, the daughter of the Shen family, is the only person who is qualified to be the queen, and even the Huangcheng Temple has spread such news, the Huangcheng Temple is closely related to the imperial court, and every word and deed there will soon affect the imperial court.
In the morning, I heard Hanmei say that when Xuanyuan Che went to court, he didn't have time to sit down on a stick of incense, and he was so angry that he left the Taiji Hall by a group of admonishing people.
And Shen Xiuzhi originally entered the palace once, but was later sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Xuanyuan Che for offending her, and she was actually the person the courtiers most wanted to sit on the queen's throne.
First, Prime Minister Shen Cheng's qualifications are old enough and his seniority is high enough, although outsiders don't know what the relationship between him and Xuanyuan Che is other than that of the monarch and ministers, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is different from Shen Chengxiang to them.
Therefore, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen is the queen, and the Shen family can suppress Your Majesty a little, and you don't have to let Your Majesty be arbitrary and domineering in the court.
Second, these people don't look down on her identity as Zhu Jiu, she has been Tuoba Ye, Zhu Jiu, and now she is married by His Majesty as the princess of Gaoxin Guoyan, and the layers of titles have been stripped off, which is not in line with the rules of Xuanyuan Guohou.
If Xuanyuan Che really rejects public opinion and makes her the queen, I'm afraid the whole world will have to see the jokes of their Xuanyuan Kingdom!
said that he was the king of a country, but he married a female general of the enemy country as his wife, don't say that Xuanyuan Che has no opinion, even the courtiers will be ashamed to death by these rumors.
But when the news of the Destiny Phoenix Maiden was released, the chess game that Zhu Jiu must have been designated as the queen by Xuanyuan Che was reversed.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Che was in a bad mood in the past two days, but Zhu Jiu was in a good mood.
What if she can't leave the Xuanyuan Palace for the time being?
There will always be a day when Xuanyuan Che begs her to leave!
When she was focusing on the chess game, Zhu Jiu had just hooked the corners of her lips and wanted to fall Bai Zi to turn the table, when she felt a figure coming from behind her, so she looked at it with her spare eyes, and after catching a glimpse of the corners of the black robe with gold lines, she quietly put Bai Zi back, turned around and saluted: "See Your Majesty."
But as soon as he leaned down, he was helped up by the man's hand as thin as white jade.
"Why should you and I be so polite?"
As soon as he spoke, Zhu Jiu noticed that his voice was a little tired, and it seemed that he was being tortured by the cabinet ministers.
Zhu Jiu was in a happier mood, poured him a cup of tea on his face, and sat peacefully opposite him, but she didn't speak, and Xuanyuan Che didn't speak, so the two sat like this for a while.
Hanmei brought fresh fruit from outside, and while walking into the courtyard, she said happily, "Master, don't you know, the winter persimmons in the imperial garden have fallen today, and they are red and fragrant! Do you smell it?"
After finishing speaking, she saw that there was one more person sitting next to her master, and suddenly, Han Mei hurriedly saluted, "See Your Majesty!"
"Get up."
Xuanyuan Che just glanced at her, raised his hand, and motioned for her to stand down.
His Majesty has not been to Changle Palace in the past two days, and this son Hanmei saw that he finally came to see his master, and he didn't know how happy he was!
So without saying a word, he hurriedly put down the box of red persimmons in his hand and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing Luo Zheng guarding outside the door, she couldn't help but stand to the left of Luo Zheng, the two of them looked, one was wearing a pink coat and the other was wearing a blue coat, but they really looked like a fairy boy guarding the door.
But Luo Zheng was in charge of guarding in a serious manner, and Hanmei next to him kept glancing at him, it was difficult for him to ignore it, so he had to look at her helplessly.
Han Meile winked at him: "Brother Luo, you are still prescient! Next time, I'll come out early and stand with you!"
Luo Zheng had to look at her and make a silent gesture, for fear that she would disturb the master inside.
Hanmei quickly nodded and shut up.
It was quiet outside, and in the courtyard, Xuanyuan Che withdrew his gaze from the weeping flower gate, took a persimmon and peeled it, and said to Zhu Jiu, who was drinking tea, "Have you had a very happy life these days?"
Zhu Jiu thought for a while and looked at him with a smile: "Seeing how busy you are, I'm really happy, and I hope you'd better forget about me."
Xuanyuan Che snorted, and the hand that peeled the persimmon paused, then straightened out the broken skin on it, and gently handed the peeled persimmon to her: "Lone eats here today."
Suddenly, the smile on Zhu Jiu's face disappeared, and he took his persimmon and put it on the table, not moving, "I'm not eating today."
"Uh-huh......
Xuanyuan Che seemed to respond, but he lowered his eyes, obviously thinking about something, and after saying this, he sat with her for a while, and then went out of Changle Palace.
This time he stayed in Changle Palace for a long time, and Hanmei was very happy, so he didn't nag in Zhu Jiu's ear, just curious about what His Majesty said, and he was afraid that Zhu Jiu would be unhappy if he asked too much, so he endured it all the time.
Zhu Jiu was still helpless, and when she saw that she was about to suffocate herself, she said slowly, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, only that she wanted to eat here."
"Huh? It's true? That's great!"
Hanmei jumped up excitedly, and said angrily: "Master, you didn't say it earlier, so people are only starting to prepare now, what if there are no delicious ingredients in the imperial dining room?"
"Wait," Zhu Jiu stopped her and knocked her on the head, "Don't be so anxious, what does he want to eat, the people in the imperial dining room will be in charge, aren't they more thoughtful than you?"
Hanmei suddenly realized, and then she quieted down and did her own thing honestly.
But Zhu Jiu didn't expect it, she thought that her refusal was obvious, but she didn't expect Xuanyuan Che to come when it was time to eat at night.
But he had a chill on his body, as if he had gone somewhere, and he was cold.
Zhu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked someone to add a pair of chopsticks to him, looked at his frosty white face, and frowned slightly: "Where did you go?"
