Chapter 23: Pimping Yongle
Zhu Di was inexplicable: "What good things?" ”
It was raining today, and in the afternoon the masters gave a lecture to the princes.
Originally, Zhu Di liked to listen to this the most, but at this time, he was dragged by Zhu Baisheng to stand on the roof of Chengtianmen Tower.
Zhu Bai stuffed the telescope into Zhu Di's hand: "When it is time to arrive, the fourth brother will pay attention to the people who enter the palace." ”
Zhu Di smiled: "Although I don't know what you want me to see, but what can you see when you look at this rain?" ”
The rain outside had no intention of stopping, like a dense curtain connecting the heavens and the earth, and no one could be seen within twenty steps.
Zhu Bai scratched his head: This is indeed a problem. Zhu Di can't go out casually, otherwise he can have an umbrella and have an encounter or something.
Miss Xu's crossing of Chengtianmen is only a matter of a matter of a minute or two, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again.
Wait a minute, if Queen Ma also takes a fancy to Miss Xu, this matter is basically a certainty, and it can't be changed.
"That's good." Zhu Bai muttered.
Zhu Di smiled: "Then you make a law." ”
Zhu Bai sighed: "How can I have that magical power......"
Those who can call the wind and rain are either monsters or gods.
Not to mention that an ordinary man like him can't do it, even if it is Zhuge Liang, it is calculated that the east wind must blow before he can "borrow".
Zhu Di said: "Since I can't do the Fa, then I'll go, I can't see anything anyway, it's better to listen to the master's lecture on the military." ”
Zhu Bai grabbed him: "Don't." It's coming. Maybe the rain will light up soon. ”
As soon as the words fell, the rain turned out to be really light.
Zhu Bai and Zhu Di stared wide-eyed.
Zhu Bai didn't dare to move, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It would be better if I could stop for a moment and a half." ”
Then the rain really stopped.
Zhu Bai shouted in his heart: I'll go, Taishang Laojun, Jesus Christ, no matter which way the gods helped, thank you anyway.
Then a string of horses' hooves came from far and near.
Zhu Bai frowned: To be reasonable, Miss Xu is a woman and should come in a sedan chair.
However, during this time, he has seen so many strange things, and he is no longer strange.
Two horses stopped under the Chengtian Gate. Zhu Di and Zhu Bai raised the binoculars together.
Dismounted was a middle-aged man and a young woman.
The man's face is loyal and calm, and he is dressed in a first-class public uniform.
This must be Xu Da.
Hey, that woman is really Miss Xu.
looks calm and atmospheric, and is above the people in the posture, not the kind of beauty at first sight.
Tsk, but also rode a horse to face the saint.
I don't know if he, the fourth brother who has always disliked publicity, can't stand it?
Miss Xu and Xu Da got off the horse and reported that they were led by two eunuchs, one into the inner palace, and the other went to the imperial study.
Well, I'm done. I guess it's no fun.
Zhu Bai put down the binoculars and found that Zhu Di still maintained the same action just now, staring over there blankly, motionless.
Grass, is he being scared silly?
Zhu Bai was a little worried, and called him in a low voice: "Fourth brother." ”
Zhu Di's body trembled slightly, as if the lost soul had only been called back at this moment.
He put down his binoculars, his cheeks flushed, and asked, "Is this Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and his eldest daughter Xu Changying?" ”
Now it started to rain again.
Zhu Bai was in the same heavy mood as the weather, and sighed: "Yes." ”
originally wanted to take Zhu Di to see the beauty, but there was no surprise, but there were a lot of shocks.
"She came on horseback. The first time I saw a woman who could ride a horse. Zhu Di muttered, "What an extraordinary woman." ”
Zhu Bai blinked:, why are the brain circuits of the men of the Zhu family stranger than the other?!
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Bai, his eyes flashed like stars: "Thank you, Twelfth Brother." The queen mother said, my father helped me determine the eldest daughter of the Xu family as the concubine. I'm still wondering if I'm going to dislike her. ”
What does this mean, do you like it very much?
Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought about it: Yes, Zhu Di is a fierce man, and it is not surprising that he has a special taste.
Zhu Di arched his hand at Zhu Bai: "I have one thing to ask for the twelfth brother." ”
Zhu Bai hurriedly returned the salute: "Fourth brother, please say, you don't have to be polite." ”
Zhu Di said: "I'm old, it's not easy to enter the harem. I was afraid that the queen mother would not like Miss Xu, so I wanted to ask the twelfth brother to go to the queen mother for me to see the situation and say good things. ”
You're afraid that you won't be able to marry your sweetheart.
I'm hoping that you owe me a favor, and if there is really no place to hide in the future, I can hide in your Beiping.
Zhu Bai smiled: "Okay." Since the fourth brother likes Miss Xu so much, I should try my best to help. ”
Zhu Bai said goodbye to Zhu Di and went straight to Kunning Palace, where Queen Ma lived.
Queen Ma is generous and tolerant, so the little prince under the age of ten does not need to be notified in advance when he comes to her, so that the little prince can find her immediately if he is wronged.
At this time, Xu Changying had just entered Kunning Palace.
In fact, I heard the palace people say that Xu Changying came on horseback just now, and Queen Ma chuckled in her heart.
At this moment, seeing Xu Changying dressed up as a man, he became more and more secretly bad.
Lao Zhu promulgated a strict uniform system, from the emperor to the concubines of officials at all levels, to the peasant pawns, all of which were customized, and they could not be worn indiscriminately, otherwise they would be punished.
How to wear it at home, as long as no one reports it, it's fine, but today Xu Changying is in the palace, and he is still so casual......
I don't know if I did this on purpose, or if I entered the palace in a hurry and forgot the etiquette.
As soon as Queen Ma waited for Xu Changying to come in, she immediately ordered someone to close the palace door.
Xu Changying saw that he hurriedly knelt down: "The folk girl is panicked, and she doesn't know where to displease the queen." ”
Queen Ma sighed: "Alas, you and Lord Xu have been in Beiping for a long time, and you have forgotten the rules in this palace." Let me ask you, according to the dress code promulgated by the emperor, what clothes should you wear when you come to see me? ”
Xu Changying looked down at herself, suddenly realized, and suddenly panicked.
Heavy rain the day before yesterday slowed down their trip. At the end of the afternoon, they arrived fifty miles outside Yingtianfu, and they received a holy decree that Teman would come to the palace to face the saint at the beginning of the day.
Xu Da's official uniform has always been prepared. But Xu Changying was just given five products by Queen Ma, and he didn't have time to be a wife before he could do it.
I came on horseback in order to hurry, so I ......
This matter can be big or small, if it is big, it can make Xu Da's whole family suffer, and if it is small, she will be disciplined.
"It's the concubine who doesn't understand the rules, so she begs the queen not to punish her family."
Queen Ma frowned: "I won't punish you, but if you go out like this and are seen by the officials, you have to babble a few words in the emperor's ear, and the emperor will be in a dilemma at that time." If you are not punished, the decree will not be enforced, and you will be punished, and you will feel distressed. ”
The key is that she doesn't like Xu Changying anymore, and hesitates to let her be Concubine Zhu Di.
Xu Changying was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
Queen Ma is also meditating on how to deal with it.
The huge palace was suddenly so quiet that it made people nervous.
"Squeak......
There was a soft knock on the door, and it was pushed open, and then Jubber stepped in with one foot.
