Kyoto.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Tianzheng was reviewing the recitals, his mental state looked very good, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were bright.

At this time, a little eunuch came over, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian Niangniang has sent ginseng soup." ”

As he spoke, the little eunuch put down the tray in his hand.

Zhu Tianzheng snorted and said, "Since drinking the ginseng soup sent by Concubine Xian, I feel much better." ”

Huang Gong said fairly: "I heard that it was made by Concubine Xian Niangniang herself, which is naturally different." ”

As he spoke, he routinely checked the ginseng soup for any problems.

Zhu Tianzheng smiled and didn't speak.

After the inspection, I took a few sips.

Huang Gonggong continued: "Your Majesty's mood is not only related to Concubine Xian's ginseng soup, but also because of the front-line battle situation, congratulations to Your Majesty, the southwest victory, the Meizhou army has advanced all the way, and has captured several cities in Tibet. ”

Zhu Tianzheng laughed when he heard this, and seemed to be very happy.

After all, during this period of time, all kinds of things were piled up together, and people were panicking.

Now that the southwest has won a great victory, it has finally stabilized the government a lot, and the southwest one aside, the Meizhou army also made him raise his eyebrows.

The problem on the Tibetan side has been solved, there is a Night King in the north, and Jiangnan has also been pacified, and now only a group of rabble of the Red Lotus Sect remains, which is not worth mentioning.

Naturally, he was in a good mood.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Huang Gonggong reminded: "Your Majesty, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Tianzheng looked at the sky, "I'm in good spirits, and I'm not sleepy." ”

He paused, and then said, "Anyway, it's nothing, take a ride and go to the palace of the virtuous concubine." ”

"Yes!"

Huang Gonggong hurriedly received the order.

Yonghe Palace.

This is the dormitory where Concubine Xian lives in the palace, as one of the four concubines in the harem, Concubine Xian's status is respected, second only to the queen, and there are not many palace maids and eunuchs.

At this moment, in the palace, Zhu Kun was suddenly among them.

Concubine Xian had a look of worry on her face, and asked in her mouth: "Kun'er, why didn't your father react at all, will it ......?"

Zhu Kun whispered: "This is a good thing, because of this, no one will suspect us." ”

"But ......"

Concubine Xian was obviously a little worried, and her face turned pale.

At this moment, a sharp voice sounded outside the main hall, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Concubine Xian was a little flustered when she heard this.

Zhu Kun's eyes lit up and reassured: "Don't worry, the child promises that nothing will happen, and the mother concubine is just doing what a concubine should do." ”

Concubine Xian said 'um', and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"I've seen my father!"

Zhu Tianzheng stepped into the main hall, glanced at Zhu Kun, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhu Kun hurriedly said: "Back to my father, my son listened to my father's teachings, and wanted to accompany my mother and concubine more, but I forgot the time for a while, and asked my father to forgive me, and my son will retire." ”

Concubine Xian also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who stayed with Kun'er for a while." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Tianzheng nodded slightly, and hummed: "Look at your mother, I am dedicated to you, you are ......."

Zhu Kun hurriedly said: "Erchen is guilty. ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Tianzheng didn't want to blame anymore, waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business here, go down!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Kun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated.

Concubine Xian stepped forward, served Zhu Tianzheng to sit down, and instructed the palace maid and eunuch to prepare refreshments, and the people were busy quickly.

Zhu Tianzheng glanced at Concubine Xian, and when he saw that her face was abnormal, he asked, "Are you still worried about your precious son?" ”

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "Please forgive your majesty, the concubine is just afraid of the future...... That's why I stayed with Kun'er for a while......"

She said with red circles in her eyes, and said: "It won't be in the future, Kun'er should be punished if he does something wrong, Your Majesty is right, the state has national laws and family rules, Your Majesty can't cover it up just because it's his son, if that's the case......"

Zhu Tianzheng looked at her, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

After a while, he finally said: "I'm very happy that you can think like this, but I don't necessarily want his life, as long as he sincerely repents, I can't give him another chance." ”

Concubine Xian was overjoyed when she heard this, "Your Majesty, really? ”

Zhu Tianzheng smiled, "He is not only your son, but also my son." ”

Concubine Xian was overjoyed and cried, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Tianzheng seemed to be very happy to see her like that, and pulled her into his arms.

Concubine Xian was shocked and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you have been here for a few days in a row, and today ...... Isn't it time to rest for a night today......"

Zhu Tianzheng said: "What? Beginning to dislike me? ”

Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "How dare the concubine, only ...... It's just that the concubines are worried about His Majesty's body. ”

Zhu Tianzheng haha: "It's okay! My health is very good, and thanks to the ginseng soup of my concubine, I feel much younger all of a sudden. ”

"But it's ......"

Concubine Xian was hesitant, "The concubine asked people to withdraw the sandalwood." ”

Zhu Tianzheng said: "Why do you want to withdraw? I like the sandalwood of Yonghe Palace. ”

“……”

The palace maids and eunuchs quickly retreated, and the voices in the palace became smaller and smaller, only wisps of sandalwood rose from the incense burner.

Early morning!

Zhu Tianzheng left Yonghe Palace refreshed.

Concubine Xian looked at his distant back, with an anxious look on her face, "Quick!" Go and find the second prince immediately. ”

The eunuch was about to receive the order, but at this time, Zhu Kun had already arrived.

Concubine Xian hurriedly withdrew her subordinates, and then said: "Kun'er, good news, after you left last night, your father has promised to give you a chance to mend your ways. ”

What?

Zhu Kun was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, obviously a little surprised.

Concubine Xian continued: "Kun'er, you'll be fine, let's stop it quickly!" ”

Zhu Kun blurted out: "No! ”

Concubine Xian looked puzzled, "Why?" Kun'er, your father has promised you a chance, you won't have anything to do anymore, but it's your father, let's continue, he ......"

Zhu Kun hurriedly said: "Mother, we have no turning back since we took this step, once we stop, my father will be suspicious, and besides, my father only said that he would give the child a chance to reform himself, and he did not say that he would not pursue it, let alone say that he would make the child the prince." ”

"As long as the child can't become the prince, whether it is the fifth or the sixth child, he will definitely not let go of the child and the Qin State Mansion."

“……”

"But ......"

Concubine Xian was visibly hesitant.

Zhu Kun said again: "Mother, my father is just soft-hearted for a while, does he remember what he said last night, not necessarily, do you really want to see the child end miserably?" Even if the father can give the child a way to live, what about the fifth and sixth children? ”

"The child and the Qin State Mansion have no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death."

"Right now, our plan is almost successful, and no one will suspect us, Princess......"

Concubine Xian's face turned pale, and she finally collapsed in her chair.
