Zhu Song was beautiful in his dream, and he felt that someone was pushing him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Queen Xu.

Seeing Queen Xu's glance, Zhu Song smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Fourth sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Empress Xu looked at her younger brother who was older than her son and nodded.

"Yes, this palace is fine, old twenty, this is all your credit, I owe you too much!"

Zhu Song smiled brightly, and his heart was very down-to-earth.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you have your own natural appearance, you will be fine, by the way, it is estimated that the news of your fainting yesterday has spread outside the palace, I didn't go home last night, it is estimated that they know that you are sick, or let Miaojin enter the palace to accompany you for a few days, right?"

Queen Xu was considered to have been closed by the ghost gate, and when she was in a coma, she thought about her husband and children the most, that is, her sister, Xu Miaojin.

She was not born to her mother, but now she is the daughter of the Xu family but she is married to someone else as a concubine, to be honest, the queen still owes Xu Miaojin more or less in her heart.

So Zhu Song proposed to let Xu Miaojin enter the palace to accompany the queen, and the queen naturally agreed without thinking about it.

"Okay, it just so happens that I miss her too, twenty brother, you can't repay me for your great kindness, and the same is true for our family, with me and your fourth brother here, in the future, wherever you have a useful sister-in-law, just talk to your sister-in-law."

Zhu Song said with a smile: "How embarrassing is that, fourth sister-in-law, the two of us can be regarded as kissing and kissing now, I am your brother-in-law, or your brother-in-law, I am really a relative, don't talk about that!" ”

Although Empress Xu listened to Zhu Song say not to say that, she still made up her mind in her heart, if she really left first, she had to do everything she could to protect Zhu Song's thoughtfulness.

In the later years of Emperor Taizu Gao, because of the successive widows and children, his temperament changed greatly, and he began to massacre heroes, Empress Xu was really worried that one day she would leave, and the reins tied to Zhu Di would be gone.

Zhu Song stood up and greeted the crown princess.

"It's not dawn yet, it's cold outside, hurry up and help the queen mother in."

The crown princess nodded again and again, and then stepped forward to support her mother-in-law and returned to Kunning Palace.

Zhu Di walked in front of Zhu Song, stretched out his fist and gently pounded Zhu Song's chest.

"Okay, I owe you more now, I don't care about that girl's affairs, you put her up to the command of Tongzhi, there is me on the side of the civil and military officials, but you can remember, just this time, whether it is a woman from now on, it can't be a third-grade official, nor can a fourth-grade official, if it is, if it is, and it is really talented, six or less."

Zhu Song arched his hand and said: "I know the emperor, but the minister wants to ask the emperor for a leave today, the minister has been here all night, this back hurts, the cabinet will not go today, anyway, they are also impeaching the ministers back and forth, and the ministers can't be deducted yet, which is really annoying." ”

Zhu Di couldn't hold back his joy.

"Hehe, that is, you, can use this trick to ask me for leave, and you have stayed overnight, I see that you slept well here, if the queen hadn't called you, maybe you would still be here."

"Go home, go home, you have a good rest, let Miaojin come over to take care of his sister for a few days, I will also go out to hide these days, let the prince take care of those things for the time being."

"I've basically arranged the affairs of the Customs Department, how is the white sugar over there?"

Zhu Song said: "It's basically almost, these days can produce more than a dozen catties of white sugar, and when you go to the West, you will definitely be able to get hundreds of catties." ”

Zhu Di patted Zhu Song's shoulder happily when he heard this.

"It's decided, the boss doesn't give silver, and now I can only use the top of the ship in the Hongwu period for the time being, and I'm afraid that the new ship will have to wait until there is silver in the future."

Zhu Song thought about it in his heart when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, if you send a fleet to sell sugar in the South Seas, it will probably take less than three months to come back, in fact, there is a closer route, that is, Dongying, where there are many rich people, and there are a lot of silver mines, but now Dongying is very chaotic, and the navigation route to Daming on the sea is not very peaceful, otherwise sugar is a good place for Dongying."

Zhu Di just has a headache.

"But it is not an easy thing to sweep away the pirates and pirates, now we have to ask for silver to fight, we don't have silver, and when we have money later, you can go first."

Zhu Song left Kunning Palace, and when he arrived at the palace gate, the palace gate had just opened, and the first thing Zhu Song saw was his own princess, Concubine Zhao, Xu Miaojin and Ye Biqing, who had accompanied him all night.

The princess, Concubine Zhao and Ye Biqing were all relieved to see Zhu Song come out, but Xu Miaojin was still worried, and when she saw Zhu Song coming out, she hurriedly ran over.

"How's it going? How is my sister? ”

Zhu Song waved his hand: "Don't worry, your sister is fine, I said a recipe last night, and it is almost good now, the imperial doctors have been guarding all night, and the queen mother came out for a walk in the morning, and there is basically nothing to do." ”

When Xu Miaojin heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if my sister was fine.

Zhu Song continued: "By the way, I told the emperor and the queen mother, you have been taking good care of the queen mother in the harem for the past few days, and the queen mother has not seen you during this time, I can see that she misses you very much." ”

"By the way, when you enter the harem, you have to say more about my kindness to you in front of the queen mother! Did you hear that? ”

Xu Miaojin almost didn't laugh when she heard Zhu Song's words, and she was also on the line for a while, and said immediately.

"I'm biased, I'll just say that you abused me, didn't let me eat at dinner, and locked me in a small courtyard alone, that's what I said!"

Zhu Song pointed at Xu Miaojin with his finger.

"Okay, you, open your eyes and talk nonsense, that small courtyard is obviously what you want!"

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Song, and finally burst out laughing.

"That's it! I will say that you are good, and you are not bad to me in the first place, this time I really thank you for saving my sister. ”

Zhu Song waved his hand: "Little thing, it is also the queen's mother's own natural appearance, it just so happens that I have malaria, it just so happens that I know the formula for treating malaria, but whenever I change a disease, I can't do it." ”

"Okay, don't say more, you go to the palace quickly, you will come back in a few days and send someone to tell me, I will call someone to pick you up."
