The long streets of the Forbidden City are very quiet at night, with the only occasional sound of banging and the occasional patrolling of the streets. Most of the palace maids and eunuchs rested, the black holes of the heavy eaves and heavy buildings were eerie, and the bright light of the lanterns on the eaves seemed to be cold.

At this time, a eunuch appeared outside Cining Palace, and the patrolling eunuchs saw that it was Liu Chao, not only did they not dare to interrogate, but also bowed respectfully to Liu Chao. Liu Chao swaggered into Cining Palace.

Liu Chao knocked on the side door of Cining Gate and asked the eunuch who opened the door: "Is the Holy Lady resting?" ”

The eunuch said in a low voice: "I'm waiting for news from Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, please come in." ”

The Holy Lady is the Hakka family, she now lives in Cining Palace, this palace was originally where the Queen Mother lived, but because Zhu Youxiao's biological mother and the Queen Mother were no longer alive, and the Hakka family was deeply favored by the emperor, she actually lived in this Cining Palace.

Liu Chao walked in small steps, the gorgeous palace, but the light was a little dim and a little old, making this magnificent place plain and full of haze and mystery.

I saw a bewitching woman sitting on a dark golden soft collapse, it was Hakka, her face was covered with heavy makeup, her lips were painted as bright red as blood, and the eyebrows above her single-eyelid eyes were also drawn long and thin, and the very sharp fake nails on her hands made her look weird and charming, like a demon girl.

Liu Chao knelt on the ground and called out to the Holy Lady Chitose.

Ke raised his hand slightly, and the eunuchs and palace maids next to him all bent over and withdrew from the palace in small steps. Only then did the Ke family say: "Liu Chao, what news, get up and say it." ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xie Sheng, Chitose." Liu Chao got up from the ground, bent down and said respectfully, "Yu Qinxin in Wang Tiqian's mansion saw Zhang Wen today. She brought out the words, saying that everything was going well, Wang Tiqian valued her very much, and she was about to seduce Zhang Wen, so that Wang Tiqian and Zhang Wen were incompatible, dog eat dog. ”

Ke Shi gently wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, the little finger was cocked, and the long golden nails on it were also cocked, "Ho, this slut still has some means, and he actually makes a eunuch and a eunuch ...... Ha ha...... I was emotional, and I really couldn't believe it at first. Liu Chao, tell me, how did the cheap deal with Zhang Wen? ”

Liu Chao immediately vividly recounted the scene when Zhang Wen wanted to listen to the piano, as if he had seen it with his own eyes at that time.

Liu Chao finally said: "Yu Qinxin said, what kind of man she has never seen, a person like Zhang Wen, who wants to be good-looking, rich, status-oriented, talented, talented, how can women not like such a man?" He must have been spoiled by women, thinking that as long as a woman sees him, she will be tempted, if she still looks like a like other women, Zhang Wen, who is used to this kind of thing, will definitely not even remember her. So Yu Qinxin met Zhang Wen's self-confidence a little, and asked him to remember her first, leaving a special impression in his heart......"

Ke raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly: "Not bad...... This slut is really a very useful person, Liu Chao, you tell her that as long as you do things for me wholeheartedly, I will not treat her badly. ”

Liu Chao said "yes" twice, then frowned and bowed and said: "Yu Qinxin also asked the slave maid to bring a message to the holy lady, and the slave and maid don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Say."

"Yes, Holy Madame. Yu Qinxin said that even if he succeeded in provoking Wang Tiqian and Zhang Wen, it would not necessarily be a good thing for us. She said that she hoped that the Holy Lady and Gonggong Wei would stabilize their status, and that these slaves and maids under them would have to rely on. ”

"Humph! I still need such a slut to talk about things? Ke's brows furrowed, "Could this slut really be moved by Zhang Wen?" ”

Liu Chao hurriedly said: "The Holy Lady is angry, the slave and maid look at Yu Qinxin, it is impossible to betray us, and she should know very well what the betrayal will be." Even if we can spare her, Wang Tiqian was deceived by her like that and can spare her? ”

Keshi said coldly: "You tell her, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, don't think about things you shouldn't think, and do what she should do...... Everyone has weaknesses, Wang Tiqian is a eunuch, self-proclaimed elegance, and he has not been caught by her for weaknesses; I believe that Zhang Wen must also have a weakness, so she must do this, otherwise there is a problem with her loyalty. ”

Liu Chao hurriedly echoed murderously: "Yes, the slave understands that if the slut doesn't get things done, the slave and the maid will ......."

Ke Shi sneered: "Zhang asks this little white face, he pretends to be smart, I want to convince him." ”

Liu Chao cautiously reminded: "Holy Madam, let's just say that our current situation is really not good...... Besides, Zhang asked this person is not simple, he is full of economy, and he always talks about things for 5,000 years, which seems to have some historical reasoning, and we don't know much about it......"

Hakka's eyebrows raised upward: "Liu Chao, let me tell you, no matter where, when, or what you do, people are doing it, as long as you understand what people are doing, it's enough." ”

Ke Shi took a teacup and took a breath to rinse his mouth, Liu Chao hurriedly stepped forward to wait, took another cup and carefully handed it to Hak, after Hakka rinsed his mouth, he spit the tea into the cup held by Liu Chao.

"Liu Chao, I also understand your worries, but if you have to believe it, just rely on Zhang Wen, it's not so easy to move me." Ke said calmly, "Let Wang Tiqian fall out with him first, so that he will lose the internal aid of the inner court...... There is another trick, the emperor's royal sister Princess Suiping has also reached the age of marriage, and I heard that the concubine who was finally chosen is a bald ugly monster. When the emperor saw this ugly monster, he was also angry, and wanted his sister to marry an ugly monster, how could the emperor bear it, but the edict had been issued, and it was another sad matter. Why don't we relieve the emperor's worries, what do you think of Zhang Wen? Zhang Wen is a rare beautiful man. ”

Liu Chao was stunned, then understood the mystery, and hurriedly said: "Holy lady Gao Jian!" ”

They were thinking about asking Princess Daming to say hello to Zhang, but they didn't have any kindness at all. The princess is noble, like a flower, ice and jade, is the best among girls, princesses of other dynasties, everyone is vying to marry, but this princess of the Ming Dynasty, as long as she is a nobleman, is not willing to get involved. Because according to the ancestral system, the entire family of the master of the horse is not allowed to interfere in the government. As long as it is a family with a little money and power, who doesn't want someone in the clan to be an official and glorify their ancestors? If a certain son marries a princess, the whole family will be implicated, so it is a taboo for the clan to marry a princess!

Ancestral system, the people of the horse tribe are not allowed to enter the court as officials, and those who have officials are dismissed. The ancestral system, in the Ming Dynasty, is the constitution, more effective than the law, and authoritative, even the emperor cannot be easily broken, otherwise it will be resisted by the whole world.

Ke Shi smiled: "Our princess of the Ming Dynasty, that is a golden branch and jade leaf, even if Zhang Wen divorces his wife and dismisses the official, it will be cheap for him." I think it's okay for Yang to serve that cheap thing to promote this good thing...... She thought I didn't know, crying in public in Kunning Palace, it was really the seed of infatuation, haha......"

Liu Chao bowed down and said, "The Holy Lady is strategizing, and everything is in the hands of the Holy Lady. ”

At this moment, suddenly a eunuch shouted outside the door: "Holy Lady Chitose, the emperor is here." ”

Liu Chao hurriedly said to the Hakka family: "It is not good for the slave maid to be seen by the emperor here, so the slave maid avoids it first. With that, it flashed into the screen.

After a while, I heard someone shouting, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The Hakka family stood up from the soft collapse unhurriedly and walked to the door to pick up the car, she lived in Cining Palace, which does not mean that she is the queen mother, in fact, the Hakka family has a lot of power in the palace, but it has no legal status, everything is because of the emperor's favor.

When she walked to the gate of the palace, she saw Zhu Youxiao walking down from the dragon, and she stepped forward quickly, making a gesture to worship. Zhu Youxiao hurriedly supported her and said, "I can't sleep today, I am dizzy and unwell, so I want my wife to come and sit here." ”

Ke Shi hurriedly asked with concern: "Has the emperor asked the imperial doctor to see it?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I've seen it." ”

The Hakka family invited him to sit in Cining Palace and called for supper. Supper is an ordinary lotus seed soup, originally the Hakka family has more luxurious food here, but she didn't dare to take it out to entertain Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao does not pay attention to luxury, and his living expenses are really low for an emperor.

After the waiting, the eunuchs and palace maids went down very consciously, leaving only the two people Ke and Zhu Youxiao sitting in the palace. Ke Shi ate and smiled: "Those slaves and maids are not good at waiting for the emperor, look at how boring the emperor looks." When the emperor went inside, the slave family got a new set of chairs, but it was comfortable, and the emperor tried it. ”

"It's okay, I've had back pain these days, let's see what chair is comfortable." Zhu Youxiao said calmly, then stood up and walked into the dormitory with the Ke family.

The Hakka family opened a curtain in the warm pavilion, and sure enough, he saw a chair with a complex structure placed there. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking, "What is the name of this chair?" ”

Keshi covered his mouth and smiled: "Family carnival chair." ”

At this time, the Ke family smiled and said: "By the way, I heard that Princess Suiping's future concubine is an ugly monster, and the emperor was very angry when he saw him, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhu Youxiao listened to what the Ke clan said, and immediately said indignantly: "Imperial sister Jin Zhi Yuye, these damn villains in the market, they have deceived the royal family!" I can't wait to break him to pieces! Destroy the Nine Clans! Ling Chi was executed! ”

Seeing the chilling murderous aura on Zhu Youxiao's face, the Hakka family also felt a chill in her heart, and after a pause, she forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the mourning family has an idea." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao has not yet calmed down from his anger.

Ke Shi smiled: "Since the emperor wants him to die, isn't it as easy as pinching an ant to death?" ”

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time, he understood what the Hakka meant. The edict has been issued, and the world knows that if the royal family wants to regret the marriage, it will cause adverse public opinion to the reputation, Zhu Youxiao still has a little bit of a sister's position in his heart, but it is not important enough to damage the royal reputation as a price. But the royal sister has not officially married, and at this time, if the ugly horse "dies of illness" and "accident", it is no wonder that the royal family.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "You can't act rashly in this matter. The royal family is in the spotlight of the world, and if there is something going on, the subjects will speculate a lot. If it is not handled properly, it will harm the royal sister. If the villain in the market died, the people outside would definitely guess wildly, saying that we killed him...... The Son of Heaven was not satisfied with the conditions of the donkey, so he killed it, and who would dare to enlist the colt in the future? Slightly better people will try their best to avoid disaster, and it is difficult to choose a horse, so wouldn't it be to let the royal sister die alone? ”

Keshi sighed: "It's the princess Suiping who took pity on the golden branches and jade leaves." ”
