After dinner, Zhu Houxi went to the East Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs, and Zhengde also returned to Kunning Palace with Empress Xia, leaving Empress Dowager Zhang alone in Renshou Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang said happily: "The day when the mourning family will see the emperor and grandson is not far away." ”

East Palace.

Zhu Houxi didn't say anything all night, and Zhengde didn't know about it, anyway, there should be some stories that shook the mountains. (PS: Please note that the story content cannot be received due to signal interference.) ）

At dawn the next day, before Zhu Houxi got up, a eunuch came to report.

"Your Royal Highness, the queen is here."

The sleepy-eyed Zhu Houxi heard that it was Empress Xia who came, and hurriedly got up to let the eunuchs wait for him to change clothes and wash, and when he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, Empress Xia was sitting on a wooden chair made of yellow rosewood and drinking tea.

I don't know why, Zhu Houxi feels that today's Queen Xia is obviously different from yesterday, as if her temperament is becoming more and more charming, and her expression is also radiant.

"Sister-in-law."

Hearing Zhu Houxi's voice, Queen Xia put down the tea cup in her hand, and asked with a gentle smile on her face: "The palace came over so early, didn't you disturb the imperial brother's rest, right?" ”

Zhu Houxi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "What's the matter, it's the younger brother himself who usually gets up late." ”

Since the successful rebellion of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are basically raising pigs, and sleeping lazy is the norm, Zhu Houxi, as the prince of Xingwangfu, loves to sleep lazy, for this, Queen Xia did not blame him, but made Queen Xia more convinced that Zhu Houxi had no ambition.

Empress Xia pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down, there is a happy event to tell you in this palace." ”

When Zhu Houyu sat down, Empress Xia began to tell him what the happy event was, and Zhengde planned to announce it early this day, canonizing Zhu Houyu as the governor of the Sihai Zhenhai General and the general military officer, and let Zhu Houyu supervise Tianjin Wei, and reward Tianjin Wei to Zhu Houyu as his second fief after the hereditary title of King Xing in the future.

Zhu Houxi learned that Zhengde began to fulfill his promise, and his white little face was smiling brightly.

Zhu Houxi left his seat and saluted Queen Xia: "Brother thank you sister-in-law." ”

Empress Xia quickly hugged Zhu Houxi and said: "Hurry up, what are you doing in the palace, Your Majesty wants to canonize you, and the palace is just here to send you a message." ”

Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law and eldest brother are one, and sister-in-law Xie and eldest brother Xie are the same. (PS: The emperor and queen are one, and this is not to drive!! Don't flash your waist...... ）

Queen Xia was praised by Zhu Houxi and said with a smile: "Your little mouth is like smeared with honey, and it is sweet to my sister-in-law's heart." ”

Zhu Houxi pretended to be flustered and said: "That's not possible, my sister-in-law can live in my sister's heart, if I let my eldest brother know, it is estimated that my brother's ass will be opened." ”

Seeing Zhu Houxi's slightly exaggerated expression, Empress Xia covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty is too late to hurt you, where are you willing to beat you." ”

Zhu Houxi said uneasily: "Then if the eldest brother wants to beat the younger brother, the sister-in-law must help the younger brother intercede." ”

Just as Empress Xia wanted to say something, Zhengde's voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.

"Who is going to beat the emperor's brother?"

"Your Majesty (big brother)."

Zhengde, who had just come to the East Palace after the next dynasty, stepped into the Wenhua Palace, and Empress Xia and Zhu Houxi immediately began to salute.

Zhengde was like a general who had won a battle, and said domineeringly: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty (eldest brother)."

Zhu Houxi and Queen Xia thanked each other, and then stood up.

Zhu Houxi looked at Zhengde, who was smiling, and asked, "What makes the eldest brother so happy?" ”

After sitting down, Zhengde said: "Don't you know, I have severely damaged the face of those civil officials today. ”

Zhu Houxi asked excitedly, "Big brother quarreled with those civil officials today?" ”

Zhengde said as a matter of course: "But no, I canonized you as the governor of the Sihai Zhenhai General and the chief military officer in the early dynasty today, and asked you to supervise Tianjin Wei, the ministers unanimously objected, and Yang Ting and several of their cabinet ministers even wanted you to return to the fiefdom, and wait until the hereditary title of King Xing was removed from the service, and never leave Anlu." ”

Without waiting for Zhu Houxi to say anything, Zhengde said again: "What do you think I am?" I directly asked people to pull out those imperial historians who opposed the canonization of you and punish them for twenty years, and now there are still many imperial historians who are not afraid of death kneeling outside the Forbidden City. ”

Zhu Houxi has a feeling of "I don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of me".

However, he is not the emperor, and he can't be the master of this matter, so he can only silently mourn in his heart for the imperial historians who were scepter, but fortunately, there are still many people kneeling outside the Forbidden City, and the backbone of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty is still there.

Zhu Houxi said with a flattering expression: "Big brother is wise. ”

Zhengde smiled and shouted to Wei Bin on the side, "Wei Bin." ”

Wei Bin handed the tray in his hand to Zhu Houxi, and on the tray was a holy decree with a bright yellow skin, as well as the seal of the general of the governor Sihai Zhenhai and the general military officer.

Zhu Houxi did not open the holy decree, because he knew that it must be the canonization decree for him, but his eyes were fixed on the seal that belonged to him.

Are you an official?

In the future, he will be regarded as an official of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Houxi took the tray in his hand, knelt on the ground and said, "Brother Chen's order is grateful." ”

Zhengde said impatiently: "Get up quickly, don't kneel down at every turn in the future, there are no outsiders here." ”

Empress Xia, who has walked to Zhengde's side, was immediately overjoyed when she heard Zhengde's words, although she is the mother of a country, but she is also a woman, Zhengde is not only the emperor, but also her husband, in this feudal era, whether she can get Zhengde's approval, of course, is very important to Empress Xia.

Zhu Houxi, who stood up, handed the tray to a eunuch behind him, and asked Zhengde: "Do you want to have breakfast with your brother?" ”

"You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Zhu Houxi was afraid that Zhengde would blame the eunuchs and palace maids for not serving well, so he quickly said: "The courtiers didn't have anything to do in the Xingwang Mansion before, so they usually got up late. ”

Zhengde's face that was about to lose his temper became better after listening to Zhu Houxi's explanation, and it also allowed the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of serving in the East Palace to escape a catastrophe.

Zhengde instructed Wei Bin beside him: "Wei Bin, let people spread kindness." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Soon a few sumptuous and simple breakfasts were served, Zhengde looked at Zhu Houxi, who was gobbling up, and said, "Eat slowly, and accompany me to the leopard room after eating." ”

Zhengde's words made Queen Xia, who was in a good mood, feel nervous.

What kind of place is the leopard house, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a large playground built by Zhengde himself in Beizhili.

There are all kinds of rare and exotic beasts in the leopard room, as well as the women who were gifted by others and abducted by Zhengde, Zhengde often calls it home, and even keeps running to the leopard room to live in the palace, so that Queen Xia is alone in the empty room, and Queen Xia is extremely resentful of the leopard room.

Now that I heard that Zhengde was going to take Zhu Houxi to the leopard room, it was strange that I was in a good mood.
