The reason why the Queen Mother was able to be elected as the queen was naturally not a stupid woman, she picked up the teacup and glanced at her own nephew and said, "Can't you understand what Your Majesty means?" ”

"Auntie, please!" Wang Lan glanced thoughtfully at the direction in which Zhu Youzhu had left, but asked his aunt for advice.

The Queen Mother had already realized that the emperor had enlightened, so she pinched the lid of the tea and gently poured the hot tea and said: "Your Majesty's meaning is obvious, if you want to be motivated, then you have to take Zhu Ji's evidence of guilt!" ”

"Auntie, Zhu Ji is the commander of the Jinyi Guard!" Wang Lan's face immediately showed a difficult color, and he emphasized with fear.

The Queen Mother stopped the teacup brought to her mouth, but said with a bit of mockery: "Hehe...... Then it depends on whether you want to be loyal to Your Majesty or Zhu Ji! If even Zhu Ji doesn't dare to offend, why should Your Majesty trust you, and why should he reuse you? ”

After witnessing so many years of harem fighting, she is no longer a political novice, but has already seen the current situation clearly.

Just now, Zhu Youzhu left without even taking a sip of tea, but she didn't mind at all in her heart, on the contrary, she admired this emperor with a great change in personality.

"The nephew naturally wants to be loyal to His Majesty, but ...... But Your Majesty didn't explicitly say just now that I would investigate Zhu Ji! Wang Lan found that things were more complicated than he imagined, so he said in distress.

Zhu Ji is not an ordinary commander, and he has the support of the civilian clique behind him. Not to mention whether he can succeed, even if he really brings Zhu Ji down, he will have to face a counterattack from the entire civilian-official group.

Their Wang family is different from the Zhou family of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Empress Dowager Zhou is His Majesty's biological grandmother, and her aunt is only a mother-in-law, so the protection power must be much smaller.

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup and said solemnly: "If Your Majesty shows your attitude, it is that he ordered you to do an errand as Your Majesty!" If you don't have his order, you will be able to bring down the incriminating evidence of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this is the name of him! Your Majesty has already shown his attitude just now without answering your words! ”

"Auntie, does Your Majesty really have so many eyes?" Wang Lan found that it was completely inconsistent with the image of the Long Live Lord that he had learned, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

The Queen Mother had no intention of drinking tea, so she simply put down the tea cup in her hand and said: "Although our Wang family will not be noble, as long as the mourning family is here, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life!" As for whether to collect evidence of Zhu Ji's crimes, you go back and think about it! ”

At this point, she didn't want to explain too much, let alone make this choice for the Wang family. Now that he has made a connection, it depends on his mother's family where to go.

The morning sun gradually rose, and the golden sunlight fell on the Chengxi Palace.

Zhang Yujiao yawned first, stretched out her hand lazily, and sat up from the bed.

"Niangniang is awake, come in and serve Niangniang!" Xiao Zi, the palace maid who was in front of the bed, hurriedly knelt in front of the bed, and at the same time beckoned the palace maid who was outside.

Since Zhang Yujiao did not set up a wake-up service, the palace maid here could only wait all the time, and now when she heard that Zhang Yujiao had woken up, she was a little flustered.

Zhang Yujiao sat in front of the bed, enjoying Zhu Youji's general wake-up service, and took these things for granted. Thinking of the beautiful dream of her mother just now, her face couldn't help but be filled with a touch of pride.

There are tens of millions of women in the world, and only she has been asserted by a fortune teller since she was a child to be a golden phoenix, and now she is only one step away from the position of that queen.

It is said that if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then she, the crown princess, will naturally be promoted to the queen. It's just that according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, the first emperor and the queen mother were canonized immediately, but the queen could only be canonized the following year.

After Zhang Yujiao washed, she cooperated with the palace maid to dress herself, but she asked: "Is there any movement over there in the Qianqing Palace?" ”

"Back to the master, long live the lord today, except for going to a few banquets to pay tribute to the emperor and visit the queen mother, he has been staying in the Qianqing Palace!" A female official of the Shangyi Bureau stood next to her and reported honestly.

Zhang Yujiao was not surprised that Zhu Youjiao went to the Several Banquet Palace, but frowned slightly and said, "Why did Your Majesty go to Renshou Palace?" ”

"I heard that the Queen Mother was infected with wind and cold, so Long Live Lord went to visit!" The female officer of the Shangyi Bureau seemed uncertain.

Zhang Yujiao actually just asked casually, sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked, "Your Majesty, has you set your sights on which palace maid in the Qianqing Palace?" ”

Zhu Youzhu probably didn't even think of himself, just because he glanced at the beautiful palace maid who was keeping vigil that day, and as a result, he had been quietly replaced here.

There is no beauty in the Qianqing Palace, there is just someone to carry the weight for him.

Although Zhang Yujiao's identity is still the crown princess, the Empress Dowager Zhou lives on Waidong Road, and now the Empress Dowager Zhang of the inner court does not care, so the power of the inner palace to manage the six bureaus has fallen into her hands.

"I didn't look at any palace maid in the Qianqing Palace, but the weather turned cold last night, and the steward and eunuch Feng Gonggong of the Qianqing Palace transferred a beautiful palace maid from the Shangqing Bureau to warm the bed!" The female officer of the Shangyi Bureau had already figured out Zhang Yujiao's temperament, so she reported carefully.

Zhang Yujiao was about to put light makeup on herself, and when she heard this, she immediately said angrily: "What is Your Majesty's reaction?" ”

"Long live the lord did take two more glances at the palace maid, but he directly sent the palace maid away, and did not stay to sleep!" The female officer of the Shangyi Bureau reported as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Zhang Yujiao was vigilant, so she seriously traced her eyebrows and asked, "What is the origin of that bed warmer palace maid?" ”

"The palace maid of the Shang Sleeping Bureau is called Erya, the daughter of a criminal official, I heard that she has a lonely and arrogant temperament, but she is really good...... It's pretty good-looking! The female official of the Shangyi Bureau immediately reported what she was about to learn.

Zhang Yujiao continued to trace her willow eyebrows, and said casually: "You personally go and warn her twice, if you are not sensible, you will find an excuse to bring her to the Caution Division!" ”

"Yes!" The female official of Shangyi immediately said respectfully.

At the time of the alternation of the old and the new, in fact, it is not only the court that is turbulent, but also the harem with a turbulent undertide.

At noon, the sun is in the middle of the Qianqing Palace, and the sun is warm.

After Zhu Youzhu returned from Renshou Palace, he still didn't pay attention to Xu Pu who came to see him, but only replied to the Ministry of Rites' recital: "I am deeply sad and guilty, and I can't bear to look at the court, but the government affairs are heavy and should not be absent for a long time." With the fourteenth day of the court, it has the honor to smell. ”

Although he knew that the entire civil official group was holding back bad intentions, since he was already about to take up this burden, he naturally still had to hold an early dynasty to compete.

Lunch, still the usual dish, has become noticeably lighter.

Qin Conggui is undoubtedly a self-motivated young eunuch, and when he saw Zhu Youzhu moving chopsticks, he silently began to observe Zhu Youji's preferences.

Zhu Youzhi is actually not very picky about what he eats, but after all, there is no fresh meat, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth.

Zhu Youzhu chewed carefully and found that the taste was really good, but he looked at the palace maid next to him, and finally realized that something was wrong and said, "What about Niu Mengmeng?" ”

When Qin Conggui heard this question, he also looked at the palace maids side by side over there, and found that the smuggling palace maid Niu Mengmeng was indeed not here.

"Long live Lord, Niu Mengmeng was beaten by the Prudence Division for fifty battles, and he wants to be locked up in the small black house for three days on a hunger strike, please be gracious!" The little palace maid who really made a mistake couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately knelt down and cried.

Zhu Youji's face immediately straightened, and he glanced at Liu Jin next to him.

Liu Jin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and explained in a panic: "Master, the slave and maid have already passed the word to the Caution Division, and the slave and maid did not know that they would punish them so severely!" ”

"Did you really bring my words to the Cautionary Division?" Zhu Youzhu put down the chopsticks in his hand and seemed to be seriously seeking evidence.

Liu Jin cherished the current honor and disgrace very much, and hurriedly kowtowed and explained: "Master, you are the heaven of slaves, how dare I disobey the yang and the yin!" The matter had indeed been brought in, and the steward of the Caution Division said that he knew what to do, and the slave and maid came back with confidence. If they knew that he was so bold and dared to use a heavy punishment against Niu Mengmeng, the slaves and maids would not let them do this, even if they didn't want to die, they would protect Niu Mengmeng! ”

"Caution!" Zhu Youzhu looked at Liu Jin, who was kowtowing violently, as if he was lying, and commanded in a deep voice.

Things have developed to this point, but it is no longer just a matter of Niu Mengmeng and a palace maid, but it is related to his prestige as an emperor.
