Zhu Youzhu heard that Qingyun Hou was in Qingning Palace, and even guessed what was going on.

When he was guarding filial piety in the palace of several feasts, the Marquis of Qingyun had already openly asked for land from him, and this person's greed can be seen.

It's just that this is also a major feature of the Ming Dynasty's relatives, these relatives from ordinary backgrounds are not opponents of the civil official group at all, so they are usually not involved in the struggle of the court, but they have a soft spot for land and wealth.

As the younger brother of the Empress Dowager of Zhou, Qingyunhou is the maternal uncle of Emperor Chenghua, and also his own uncle, so he can be said to be the closest relative to the blood relationship.

Now seeing that he is young and easy to talk, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to open his mouth so as to fill his appetite for wealth, but five hundred hectares is really a bit crazy.

"Master, the slave thinks that the Empress Dowager's summons this time is related to Qingyun Hou!" Erya saw Zhu Youji, who was deep in thought, and said what she thought.

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that this palace maid who warmed the bed was still quite smart, so he nodded lightly and said: "When my father just died, Marquis Qingyun had already asked me to give him a piece of land, presumably now I am here for this matter!" ”

"Now that the master has guessed, this time it is the slave and the maid who are too talkative!" Erya saw that Zhu Youzhu already knew it, and even if he admitted his mistake.

Zhu Youzhu knew that the people next to him couldn't all be loyal servants, so he looked at this woman who was dressed and encouraged: "Next time, I will warn you more, you are much more useful than warming my bed now!" ”

Erya's face was slightly blushing, but she was also secretly happy in her heart.

Even if she is a low-level palace maid, she doesn't want to just entertain people with sex, but also wants to play other values for herself. What's more, she thinks that she has strong wisdom and ability to do things, so she also wants Zhu Youzhi to see other shining points in her.

Waidong Road, Qingning Palace.

Since this place has been upgraded to the palace of the Empress Dowager, the liveliness of this dormitory has increased unabated, especially today, when the family of Qingyun Marquis came, which made it even more lively here.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou is nearly sixty years old, her skin is well maintained, and her thick hair is rarely white, so she looks very energetic.

Not only does she have many grandchildren, but her mother's family is also scattered. Because the royal affection is relatively thin, especially she is not liked by Yingzong, so she is more cordial to her mother's family.

The Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Zhou Ying, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family, had given birth to a child and was brought over, so she stretched out her hand very happily and said, "Come, let my aunt and grandmother hug it!" ”

Zhou Ying's daughter-in-law Li Shi was more restrained, and when she saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou was going to hold her son, she also carefully handed her son over.

Wow......

When a baby meets a stranger, he even cries and cries.

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the door, and when she coaxed the little baby, she said, "Be good, don't cry, my aunt loves you!" As he spoke, he said to the crowd next to him with emotion: "The mourning family brought up the first emperor, and Your Majesty was also brought up by the mourning family, but the most obedient is Your Majesty, and you really won't cry at all!" ”

"Fortunately, you are protected, otherwise I am afraid that I will harm that demon concubine!" Zhou Shou heard the sound of footsteps outside, and immediately echoed loudly.

Zhu Youzhu walked in from the outside and naturally heard this conversation, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

Not to mention whether Wan Guifei is as vicious and jealous as written in the history books, these words are undoubtedly for themselves, showing their merits.

It's just that in my memory, after I was taken out of the cold palace, there was a lot of turmoil about my custody.

Emperor Chenghua undoubtedly favored Concubine Wan, so he was forced to leave his biological mother at the beginning and was arranged to live in Dezhao Palace.

Due to the sudden illness of his biological mother Ji, even if a cabinet minister stood up and proposed that he live in Qingning Palace, he could be closer to his biological mother, but he was rejected by Emperor Chenghua.

The matter originally ended here, but not long after, Wan Guifei's biological father Wan Gui died, and her biological mother also died of illness, so her custody only went to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The Empress Dowager Zhou won the battle for custody, and she had the grace to raise herself, but it would be an exaggeration to say that she protected herself from the clutches of Concubine Wan.

As an imperial concubine, she has to do everything possible to murder the crown prince of the dynasty, especially an imperial concubine who is quite favored by Emperor Chenghua, this thing doesn't sound very reliable.

Of course, we can't argue about these things now, after all, Concubine Wan Guifei is dead without proof, but now that she is alive and sitting on the throne, she has to be grateful to them, and it can only be said that the Empress Dowager Zhou and Huai En have good calculations.

"Slave maid to meet Your Majesty!" When the eunuchs and palace maids standing here saw Zhu Youzhu coming in, they immediately saluted.

Qingyunhou's family also hurriedly got up to salute, and Qingyunhou said with a little unhappiness on his face: "Xiaohou to meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother!" When Zhu Youzhu came to the front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he also brought his accompanying eunuchs and palace maids to greet him.

When the Empress Dowager Zhou saw Zhu Youzhu appear, she said very kindly: "Your Majesty is exempt!" Come up and take a look, it's a little similar to when you were a kid! ”

Zhu Youzhu stepped forward to take a look, but found that this little baby had not yet grown, how could it be similar to himself? This is undoubtedly playing the emotional card.

"Concubine, please say hello to Your Majesty!" Zhang Yujiao was also invited here today, and at this time, she also stepped forward to give a salute.

At the same time as she gave the salute, she also glanced at the man, and things were getting more and more out of her control. Since inheriting the unification, the emperor in front of him is like a different person, not to mention obeying his own words, and now he has not even set foot in his own Chengxi Palace.

"None of us are outsiders, let's all get up!" Zhu Youzhu knew that there was no need to quarrel with the Empress Dowager Zhou, so he pretended to be close and raised his hand.

Zhou Shou listened to "We are not outsiders" to describe the relationship between each other, and his face eased slightly, this emperor finally has some human touch, knowing that they are a family.

Empress Dowager Zhou returned the baby in her arms, pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat!" ”

Since Qingning Palace does not need to receive courtiers, and the invitations are usually women's dependents, this living room is not too much, but there are quite a lot of chairs.

Zhu Youzhu sat down in his seat, followed the Empress Dowager Zhou to say a few words, and picked up the hot tea sent by the palace maid. Although he already knew what these people were thinking, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, there is a piece of fertile land in Baodi that can be developed into farmland, about 500 hectares, what a pity for this wasteland, please give that land to Benhou!" Zhou Shou seemed a little anxious, and immediately got straight to the point.

Empress Dowager Zhou's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't like this younger brother to be so anxious, but she still looked at Zhu Youzhu next to her like a spring breeze on her face.

Although it is said that the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, but the world belongs to the Zhu family, and now that his mother's family is begging for 500 hectares of land, he naturally wants to fully support it.

"As far as I know, it has been more than 100 years since the capital was moved, and the fertile land in Gyeonggi has already been opened up by the displaced people, so I am afraid that there are already many displaced people cultivating there, right?" Zhu Youzhu pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the hot tea, but he directly exposed the lie.

Zhou Shou was not embarrassed, and waved his hand disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, that piece of fertile land has indeed opened up more than a dozen acres of land, and there are several families cultivating on it, but how many families occupy that piece of land?" As long as you assign that piece of land to Xiaohou, Xiaohou will drive those families away, and then develop it into farmland! ”

"Mark me that piece of land, and I'll send someone to investigate it today!" If it's really as you say, there are only a few families farming on it, and it doesn't hurt that I allocate it to you! Zhu Youzhu took a sip of tea and made concessions.

Zhou Shou suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, but he directly played the emotional card and said: "Your Majesty, we are all our own family, don't you still trust Benhou?" ”

"Yes, we are all our own family, presumably Qingyunhou will not lie about this matter, Your Majesty will give that field to Qingyunhou!" The heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou is towards her mother's family, and she is helping to ask for authenticity.

"Imperial grandmother, it is precisely because of my own family that I have to investigate clearly, otherwise Qingyun Hou will commit the great crime of bullying the king!" Zhu Youzhu didn't want to do anything about forcibly seizing people's land at all, so he was serious and authentic.

Emperor Chenghua beat the Mongolian side to cry and cry his mother, and now the land of Gyeonggi is very peaceful, where is there any fertile land. According to the glorious tradition of Chinese industriousness, fertile land must have been developed into farmland long ago.

If he agrees to assign that piece of land to Qingyunhou, the people there will definitely be expelled, which is equivalent to allowing Qingyunhou to forcibly seize the people's land.

"Your Majesty, your words are really chilling, but it's just a mere five hundred hectares, so why don't you allow this marquis?" When Zhou Shou saw the rejection, he immediately became angry and said.

Zhu Youji's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't expect Zhou Shou to dare to tear his face with him.

"Qingyun Hou, you are presumptuous, how can you talk to Your Majesty like this, this is disrespectful!" Niu Mengmeng, who was guarding beside Zhu Youji, narrowed his eyes and immediately stood up to defend His Majesty's majesty.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was also holding back her anger in her heart, and taught Niu Mengmeng, who jumped out to accuse her younger brother, and said: "Where did the little palace maid come from so ignorant of the rules that she dared to shout and tell right and wrong here in the mourning family?" Come on, drag it out, slap it thirty! ”
