Chapter 18 Mother's Parents

The sheep house sandwich road is located outside the Xuanwu Gate, inside the Bei'an Gate.

In fact, it is the corridor between the imperial city and the palace city, because the two sides are high palace walls, and because this is the place where the royal sheep are raised, it is called the "sheep house road".

On the west wall of the sheep house, there is an inconspicuous doorway, which is the cold palace that the palace people talk about.

Zhu Di ran through the layers of palace gates with Zhu Zhen on his back, and only put him down until he arrived here, and then knocked on the closed palace door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

The appearance of the familiar road made Zhu Zhen stunned for a moment. If he hadn't known that there were only women in the Inner Anle Hall, he would have wondered if the fourth brother had also been sent to the cold palace.

There was no one outside the door, and the entire sheep house was empty, only Zhu Di's urgent knock on the door was echoing.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"

It took a while for there to be movement inside.

"Who? Do you know what this place is? A rude female voice replied.

"King Lone is Yan, and the King of Chu are here to deliver a decree to pick up people, don't open the door quickly!"

"Your Highness, is it really fake?" A woman's muttering sounded inside.

"Are you stupid? Who dares to impersonate His Highness in the Forbidden City? ”

After grinding for a while, the door finally opened a crack, and a middle-aged female official wearing a blue jacket skirt and a green armor came out.

Seeing the two highnesses wearing dragon robes, the female official hurriedly knelt down and claimed to be Si Zheng Niu of the Inner Anle Hall.

The two highnesses were too lazy to take care of her, and they were about to walk inside.

"Your Highness, slow down." But he was stopped by the Niu Sizheng who got up and said, "Please also announce the edict and enter again." ”

"Xuan, Xuan......" Zhu Di touched his cuffs impatiently, his expression suddenly changed, and his hands hurriedly touched his body. What about the Lord's Order? Why can't I find it? ”

"Did you fall off the road?" Zhu Zhen was also anxious.

"Two daredevils, here." The two of them were in a hurry and were about to turn back to look for it, but they saw the eldest brother who was following behind and holding the edict in his hand.

"Ah, big brother, did you pick it up?" Zhu Di's old face flushed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I guess it's halfway through." ”

As he spoke, he was about to reach out to take it, but the prince did not give it to him, but handed it to Zhu Zhen.

"Sixth, you come to Xuan."

"Yes, big brother." Zhu Zhen hurriedly took it with both hands, took a deep breath, and opened it to take a look.

Fortunately, there are no words that I don't know in the vernacular, which is easy to understand throughout.

That Niu Sizheng also hurriedly opened the main door and knelt down with a few men to listen to the order.

"As soon as the Anle Hall is in charge, the concubine Hu Shisi has expired, and she can return to the palace. Immediately send it back and return it, such as the edict. ”

"Your Excellency!" Niu Sizheng responded loudly, received the edict with both hands, and after checking that it was correct, he got up and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please." ”

Zhu Zhen hurriedly walked in.

Zhu Di also wanted to keep up, but was stopped by the eldest brother.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it yet." Zhu Biao gave him a full collar and said softly: "The two of them are reunited, let's not join in the fun." ”

"Yes, fourth brother, Xiaoliu is the protagonist today." Zhu Hu also said softly.

"Yes, it's me who steals the show too much." Zhu Di nodded suddenly, and said with a sneer: "It's good that the sixth child can see his mother again and rescue her from the cold palace, it's really good......"

Thinking of the picture of the sixth mother and son hugging their heads and crying, his nose was sour, and he hurriedly turned his head to the corner of the wall.

~~

Zhu Zhen, under the leadership of Niu Sizheng, walked quickly inside.

The inner peace hall is unexpectedly large, the courtyard is one into the set, and there are cross-courtyards on the left and right.

Because the Forbidden City has only been completed for a few years, even this cold palace is also new. The red walls and yellow tiles, the bucket arches and cornices, look no different from the inner palace.

It's just that the strong smell of medicine that permeates the courtyard, and the coughing and moaning sounds coming from the palace from time to time, all make Zhu Zhen very uneasy.

"My mother, are you okay?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu asked astringently.

"Of course Niangniang is fine, but she ......" Niu Shanggong pointed to the innermost courtyard, and stopped talking: "Alas, Niangniang is inside, Your Highness should go in and see it yourself." ”

Zhu Zhen's heart was like being caught, I don't know what happened to my mother?

Is she crazy? Silly? Or were you being bullied by your subordinates? You're not being forced to clean the toilet, are you?

In those palace fighting dramas, the tragic experience of the heroine after being beaten into the cold palace flashed in front of Zhu Zhen's eyes, making him breathless.

He took three steps and two steps, and rushed to the small courtyard, where he heard the noise of a woman inside.

"Hello sister and son!"

"Eight horses......"

It's like a liquor order.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but be furious, these people are too presumptuous! The mother concubine was just beaten into the cold palace, and she was not abolished, she is still a thousand years old! How dare they be so arrogant, drinking in front of her eyes before it gets dark?

Sure enough, it was the tiger that fell into Pingyang and was bullied by the dogs, and the phoenix that lost its hair was not as good as a chicken......

You must clean them up and make your mother angry!

He slammed open the door, ready to angrily rebuke these slaves who bully their masters!

Then his mouth was like an egg stuffed, and he couldn't make a sound and opened his boss.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was stupid......

He thought about many scenes when mother and son met, some hugged their heads and cried, and some broke their liver and intestines...... Even when the mother concubine was bullied, she imagined how she would be mad.

But I never expected that it would be such a scene-

I saw that in the clean patio, there was a red-hot charcoal stove, and the stove was roasting and eating, and the rice wine was scalding.

Several women in palace clothes sat around the fireplace, drinking and punching.

It's nothing, just after listening to the movement, he imagined this meeting.

But the problem is that the big beauty who is sitting on the right seat is his mother concubine who 'suffered a lot in the cold palace'.

I saw that the hem of Concubine Chong's skirt was high, and one leg was stepping on the stool. Holding the wine bowl in his left hand, he stretched out his right thumb and index finger forward, as if comparing to an eight.

"Five leaders, ......" Concubine Chong Niangniang shouted the wine order, and while following the prestige, she also froze.

The movements are similar to those of the female officer she punches, except that her right hand has an extra middle finger than hers.

"Six-six-six! Haha I won, mother, you drink ......"

But I saw that Niangniang seemed to be immobilized, and her drunken face was full of embarrassment with a capital letter.

"Son, son ......" But immediately, Concubine Chong became excited again.

"Mother, I'm here to pick you up." Zhu Zhen forced himself to ignore the chicken and duck bones all over the ground, melon peel and fruit pits, and regain the excitement of reunion.

Several female officials who accompanied Concubine Chong to drink also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly kowtowed to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and then withdrew in a gloomy manner, and closed the courtyard door.

"Zhen'er, why did you come here?" Concubine Hu Chong got up excitedly and stepped forward, but her body staggered.

"Mother, are you drunk?" Zhu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and was able to support her.

"No, I've been squatting for too long, and my feet are numb." Concubine Hu Chong smiled, but her lines were very thick, and she was about to leave the embarrassment behind, hugged her son tightly, and kissed and kissed him on his chubby little face.

"My precious son, I miss my mother. Woo, my mother can't sleep when you think about it......"

Her mouth was full of wine, Zhu Zhen couldn't hide and couldn't dodge, and almost choked.

As a result, maybe because she was too excited, Concubine Chong turned her head away and started first.

Zhu Zhen patted her on the back while looking up to the sky and sighing.

Die young, how can you be such an unreliable mother!
