Early in the morning, in the Yongxin Palace, Concubine Rong was changing clothes for Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Cousin, can the acting king really return to Beijing in the afternoon?" In private, Concubine Rong called Emperor Wu of Zhou "cousin". Since she was a child, she has followed Emperor Wu of Zhou, and her cousin is long and her cousin is short. "It's not going to be night, is it?" At night, the gates of the capital will be closed, and Yun'er will not be able to enter Kyoto if she wants to.

"I can go back to Beijing in the afternoon." Emperor Wu of Zhou gave Concubine Rong a positive answer, "It's not time to arrive." ”

"If it doesn't come in time, then I'll be relieved." Concubine Rong said, her brows furrowed, and a worried look appeared on her face, "This kid has always reported good news and not bad news, this time he went to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, the situation is very dangerous, he must be injured, and he must let everyone hide it from us." She sighed softly, "Alas, I don't know how many times he was injured this time, whether he was seriously injured?" ”

"I didn't hear that he was seriously injured."

"Cousin, you used to be like this, every time you were injured, you kept it a secret, and didn't let any of us know. When you come back, your injuries will be healed. Concubine Rong pointed to Emperor Wu Zhou's chest and said coquettishly, "If I hadn't found the scars on your body, I really wouldn't have known that you were injured." The Acting King is the same as when you were younger. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou held Concubine Rong's finger and said with a smile: "It's normal to be injured on the battlefield, there's no fuss. ”

Concubine Rong said angrily: "Yes, yes, as long as you don't die, it's a small injury." ”

"That's right." Emperor Zhou Wu stretched out his hand and patted Concubine Rong's buttocks, "The second child is not a child anymore, so don't worry too much." ”

"Your father and son are one virtue." Concubine Rong said helplessly, "When I was young, I was often worried that you would be injured on the battlefield. I didn't expect to be old, and I had to worry about whether my son would be injured on the battlefield. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou pinched Concubine Rong's chin and shook it gently: "You just love to worry too much." ”

"Women just love to worry. Besides, my husband and son are fighting outside, how can I rest assured. Concubine Rong stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Emperor Zhou Wudi's waist, tilted her head slightly and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to worry about you now." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and kissed Concubine Rong on the lips: "Okay, it's time for me to go to the court, you can sleep for a while." ”

Concubine Rong stood up and kissed Emperor Wu of Zhou on the lips vigorously: "Cousin, go slowly." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled and walked out of Concubine Rong's bedroom.

After Emperor Wu of Zhou left, Concubine Rong returned to bed and fell asleep. As for going to Zhaoyang Palace this morning to greet the queen, she left it behind.

Today is the fifteenth, and the concubines are going to greet Queen Xie. The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when the concubines greet Queen Xie.

It stands to reason that the concubines should greet Queen Xie every day. Empress Xie also hoped that the concubines would come to greet her every day, but unfortunately Empress Xian didn't think so. She felt that it was too troublesome for the concubine to come to greet her every morning. Also, it will make the concubines not sleep well every day. She felt sorry for the concubines, so she changed the rule of asking for peace every day to the first and fifteenth days of the first month of each month.

It is difficult for Empress Xie to change this rule set by the first queen. If she changes to ask for peace every day, she will inevitably be said that she is not virtuous, and she is not as good as the queen first.

In the Kunde Palace, Zhao Yao and they were having breakfast.

"What a coincidence." Yu Meiren said, "Today is the day to greet the queen, and the acting king will return to Beijing today." ”

Pan Caidao: "Concubine Rong is going to fight with the queen again, we have to be careful." "Pan Cairen is most afraid of going to Queen Xie on the first and fifteenth days of every month to say goodbye. Every time I go to ask for peace, I will inevitably have a sword and a sword.

Liang Zhaoyi comforted Pan Caidao: "The queen mother and the concubine can't take care of us. ”

The poppy said, "Let's just sit quietly." ”

The fifth princess pouted slightly and said, "I don't want to go." "Every time I go to say hello to the queen, she is very nervous and scared." Mother, can I not go? ”

"I can't." The poppy didn't want her daughter to go, but she couldn't help it, she had to go. "If you don't go, it's disrespectful to the queen."

The fifth princess looked at Zhao Yao with envy at this time: "It would be good if I were the tenth brother, so that I don't have to go to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace." ”

Zhao Yao said angrily: "There is only this benefit left in reading." As he spoke, he suddenly gloated and smiled at the fifth princess, "Fifth sister, you have to be obedient." ”

The fifth princess glared at Zhao Yao fiercely: "Tenth brother, you have to study hard, don't be beaten by Mr. ”

"Although I am not smart in reading, I am very well-behaved, and my husband will not beat me."

"Tenth brother, otherwise, I will study on your behalf, and you will go to Zhaoyang Palace for me to ask for peace." The fifth princess thought she had a very good idea.

Zhao Yao directly gave the fifth princess a white eye, and gave her two words: "Dream!" ”

"Tenth brother, don't you like to study......" Before she finished speaking, her little head was beaten by a poppy.

"Is Wende Hall a place you can go?" Yu Meiren taught the fifth princess with a straight face, "Such a big person still talks nonsense all day long. ”

The fifth princess pursed her lips and said, "I'll go, can't I do it." ”

"Fifth sister, fourth sister, they definitely won't talk about you today." Zhao Yao knew that the fifth princess didn't like to go to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace, and there was another important reason, that is, she didn't want to see the fourth sister.

Before the second concubine and the fifth sister moved to Kunde Palace, they lived in Yong'an Palace. Yong'an Palace is the palace of Concubine Liang, and the fourth princess is the daughter of Concubine Liang.

When she was a child, the fourth princess often bullied the fifth princess and took pleasure in bullying the fifth princess. The fifth princess was bullied by the fourth princess and was afraid, and when she saw the fourth princess, she couldn't help but be frightened.

Later, with the help of Liang Zhaoyi, Yu Meiren took the five princesses to live in the Kunde Palace.

On weekdays, the fifth princess stayed in the Kunde Hall and did not go out. The fourth princess dislikes the remoteness of the Kunde Palace, and it is unlucky to be close to the cold palace, so she will not take the initiative to come to the Kunde Palace to bully the fifth princess.

The fourth princess only bullied the fifth princess on the first and fifteenth days of each month. Other times, the fourth princess wanted to bully the fifth princess but couldn't find anyone.

In the past, the fourth princess had sent someone to Kunde Hall to ask the fifth princess to go out to play. Actually, I just want to bully the five princesses. However, he was rejected by the fifth princess. With the timid nature of the fifth princess, she didn't dare to refuse, and it was Liang Zhaoyi who sent Gui Xing to refuse.

When the fourth princess saw Liang Zhaoyi supporting the fifth princess, she was naturally angry and instigated her mother, Concubine Liang, to teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson. Concubine Liang didn't look down on Liang Zhaoyi, and she was not interested in bullying a little Zhaoyi, but her daughter wanted her to help her get angry, so she had to put up a good concubine to teach Liang Zhaoyi a lesson.

Concubine Liang taught Liang Zhaoyi a lesson on the front foot, and Emperor Wu of Zhou knew about it on the back foot. Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Empress Xie to choose two grandmothers and re-teach the etiquette rules of the four princesses. Not only that, but also punished the four princesses to copy the "Female Ring" a thousand times, and not a word was missing. As for Concubine Liang, although Emperor Wu of Zhou did not directly punish him, he did not go to Yong'an Palace for several months.

Queen Xie took advantage of this matter and scolded Concubine Liang and her mother and daughter fiercely in front of all the concubines and princesses. Concubine De naturally did not miss this opportunity, and unceremoniously fell into the trap of Concubine Liang, which made Concubine Liang's mother and daughter become a joke of the entire harem.

Since then, whether it is a good concubine or a virtuous concubine, they dare not rely on their status and teach low-ranking concubines at will. The princes and princesses don't dare to bully people casually.

After this incident, the fourth princess never bullied the fifth princess again. However, she would bully the five princesses verbally on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

In the past two years, the fifth princess's temperament has become more lively and bolder, but she has a psychological shadow on the fourth princess. In front of the four princesses, she would not feel cowardly and dare not resist the four princesses. The fourth princess said a few words to her, and she would not lose a piece of meat, so she let the fourth princess talk about her.

"Why don't you say me?"

"Because the protagonist of today's invitation is the second emperor brother, you go to ask for peace, all the topics revolve around the second emperor brother, and the fourth sister can't take care of you."

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, the fifth princess felt a lot more relieved: "That's good." ”

Liang Zhaoyi saw that it was not too early, and reminded his son: "Yaoyao, you eat quickly, otherwise you will be late for study." ”

Zhao Yao stopped talking to the fifth princess, and drank the porridge quickly with his head down. After drinking the porridge, he hurried out with Tongxi.

Walking out of the Kunde Palace, Zhao Yao obviously felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was very different.

"The second emperor brother is coming back, and the palace will immediately become lively." Not only is it lively, but it also becomes festive.

The Liangzhou victory is something to celebrate. When the king came back, the palace naturally became jubilant.

"Isn't there a celebration in the palace at night?" Tongxi said, "Your Highness, aren't you most looking forward to tonight's celebration banquet, aren't you happy?" ”

"I'm glad." As soon as he thought of being able to eat beef and other delicious foods at tonight's dinner, Zhao Yao's little face showed a bright smile, "I hope it will be evening all at once." ”

"Your Highness, then you have to eat less at noon today, so that you can have a delicious stomach to eat at night."

"You're right."

At this time, in the Chengguang Palace, the ministers were still in the early dynasty.

The atmosphere of the morning dynasty today is also different, and it is also full of festivities.

Although many people do not want the king to come back, Emperor Wu of Zhou is happy today, and the ministers dare not sweep the prosperity of Emperor Wu of Zhou, so they can only be happy with Emperor Wu of Zhou.

The main content of today's early dynasty is whether to add beads to the king.

I have been arguing for so many days about adding beads to the acting king, but there has been no conclusion. Today, the acting king is coming back, and if you don't add beads to him, you have to give him a good word.

No matter what the ministers said, Emperor Wu of Zhou just didn't give the right words. This left the ministers unsure of what he was thinking.

The emperor's heart is a needle.
