In the side hall of Kunning Palace, the candle flame was flickering, and Emperor Hongzhi was lying on the bookcase, putting his mind on the pile of recitals in front of him, until Empress Zhang pushed open the door of the hall and came in, he only looked up from the pile of recitals.

Before she could speak, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "The concubine arranged for the palace people to serve Xiurong to take a bath, and she came to talk to her husband for a while." ”

Zhu Youzhu seemed to have guessed what she wanted to talk to herself, but she still asked, "What does Shujun want to say to me?" ”

Empress Zhang didn't rush to speak, and said to Xiao who was standing in the hall: "Father-in-law Xiao, you go out first, and let the palace talk to Your Majesty for a while." ”

"Whoa."

Xiao bowed and agreed, silently withdrew, and closed the door of the temple.

Empress Zhang leaned over and dragged a brocade pier to the side of the bookcase, and then sat down by herself, looking at Emperor Hongzhi with a pair of eyes, still with a gentle smile on her face.

Then he showed a deep thought, and after a while, Empress Zhang spoke: "Concubine Rongchen think about it, before today, the husband was full of praise for that Xia Yuan, and praised his teachings and reading, and praised him for his suggestions for the country.

The concubine didn't know what the offer was, but it should be a good policy to be praised by His Majesty, and the sugar business, as soon as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver entered the house every month, the husband was overjoyed, and praised it again and again. ”

"But today, no matter how you look at it, I don't like it, and it seems that there are many prejudices, what is the reason?"

Empress Zhang's tone of helping others speak, Zhu Youzhu didn't like it at all, and his brows furrowed, "Why do I think you seem to like that kid quite much?" ”

Empress Zhang also felt that Emperor Hongzhi's tone was very unpleasant, with some questioning, not at all as gentle as before.

So he pretended to sigh desolately, and said sadly and complainingly: "The concubine is not as good as Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a nobleman, and the concubine is from an ordinary person's background, just a country fool, she has never read any books, and she doesn't know what the truth is."

The concubine only knew that now her daughter's return was all the credit of the son-in-law, if he hadn't been cheeky enough to ask His Majesty for his life, how could he have today's joy. ”

"It's just that the concubine never expected that just helping to say a few words made His Majesty unhappy, and the concubine felt in her heart."

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang sighed aggrievedly, stretched out her slender jade hand to cover her heart, and then continued: "It's not a taste. ”

“.”

Emperor Hongzhi's face can no longer be hung up, this is not only a yin and yang weirdness, but also a gun and a stick in his words, what is called His Majesty is a nobleman in the sky, and the concubine is a fool in the countryside, it was nothing here.

But then there was a sentence that I didn't know the truth, and then I talked about the loss of this daughter.

Combined with the previous words, she understands the truth of a country fool, but she, a nobleman, doesn't understand.

However, they have been together for more than ten years, and they have long known each other very well.

Zhu Youzhu has long had experience, but whenever something makes her unhappy, she always has to talk to herself in this tone of gloom and resentment, and she has to be weird in the open and in secret, which is a trick that the queen has always liked.

But even if he knew that it was just a trick, Zhu Youzhu would lose every time, and this time he was no exception, this aggrieved tone made him feel a little guilty and blame himself.

Then he sighed: "How can I not understand what Shujun said, I am not such an ignorant person, I am very grateful for this matter, I can't wait to tie the grass ring, but I can't be grateful to that kid in my heart." ”

"How old is our Xiurong, and now he is only fourteen years old, and he has never reached the end of his life, and he is still the kid he married last year, and he was even more cardamom at that time.

At such an age. It's a human courtesy, and her body is so petite, and I don't know how much I have suffered in the first place, every time I think of it, my heart hurts terribly."

Saying that, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but feel pain in his heart again, and scolded that bullshit son-in-law thousands of times in his heart, brute! Beast!

As if he was afraid that these words would not stand, Emperor Hongzhi endured the pain in his heart and continued: "When Shujun married me, she was sixteen years old, and her body was much richer and taller than Xiurong now, and she couldn't walk in pain afterwards, let alone Xiurong, she deserved."

At this point, Zhu Youzhu covered his heart, and he didn't want to say any more.

“.”

Hearing this, Empress Zhang was silent and blushing, but she finally understood why Zhu Youzhu looked like this.

As a person who has come over, how can she not know how to suffer from the first ceremony, and now when she thinks about it, her heart is also painful, and she can't help but feel more resentful about the so-called son-in-law.

The husband and wife sat silently for a long time, and Queen Zhang finally opened her lips lightly, "But, but you always have to go through this experience, right?" What's more, this son-in-law is also a good match, with good looks, morality, and talent, all of which are outstanding.

What's even more rare is that Xiurong is very fond of him, and Xiurong also has a deep affection for him, since today's behavior of the two, the concubines can see it, and the one who asked for his wife's life before, even more so.

At that time, he didn't know that this wife was actually a princess, and she was still married on behalf of her, just to find a birth for her wife, and not to teach others to gossip, so he had the courage to ask His Majesty for his life.

How many men in the world can treat their wives like this? ”

"And the concubine looks at this princess of the Ming Dynasty, which one is not wronged in the matter of marriage?"

"Taizu Taizong was still better at that time, and the people below didn't dare to be presumptuous when they chose the horses, but what happened later?

This ancestral family law is in charge of everything, even this horse needs to be selected from the people, and this matter is not up to the emperor to decide, those who are under the head are in collusion, one by one to see the money, they can't be blamed, can't interfere, once this is the case, move out of the so-called ancestral system, move out of the so-called ancestral law. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang's face was full of coldness, "When Emperor Chenghua chose a horse for Princess Jiaxiang, the dog slave below accepted the silver of the Huang family, and actually married the princess to a sick ghost, and died within a few days of marriage, Princess Jiaxiang was humiliated, and she was looking for death every day, and then committed suicide by hanging herself from the beam in the princess's mansion, did Your Majesty forget about this?" ”

"And the princess Guangde, didn't she also fail to find a good match, and then died of grief?"

"According to the concubine, there are few princesses of the Ming Dynasty who can live comfortably when they get married, and the concubines said to Your Majesty more than ten years ago, we Xiurong don't have to marry people in our lives, so as not to make a big mistake in the future."

"Now that I am married to that Xia Yuan, the concubine is very happy in my heart, although my daughter is married, she has also found a good match, and she should be happy."
