Zhu Jianshen couldn't wait and was ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he bumped into the Queen Mother Zhou head-on.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"The son has seen the queen mother." Zhu Jianshen stopped, pressed his thoughts, and said: "The situation on the grassland has changed somewhat, so I will go to the military department." ”

"Just let Yu Qing's family come here, why should the emperor go there in person?" Zhou smiled, "The queen mother has an urgent matter here. ”

Zhu saw a hundred claws scratching his heart, but he had to be patient and asked, "What's the matter with the queen mother?" ”

"What else can I do, isn't this the end of the election," Zhou stepped forward with a smile and said in a low voice, "The twelve beauties have been selected, and the emperor might as well go and see it first." ”

Zhou still loves his son, and is afraid that the son he chooses will not like it, so he simply lets his son make a decision.

Zhu Jianshen was anxious to see the beauties, but he was not in a hurry to see the twelve beauties, "Marriage is a major event, the parents are in charge, and the queen chooses her mother." ”

"Let... Queen's Determination? ”

"Well, it's hard work." Zhu Jianshen bowed his head slightly.

"Good ......" her son respected her so much, and the Zhou family was even more excited, and after half a lifetime, she finally got through, she smiled and said, "The emperor can rest assured, the queen mother will choose a satisfactory queen for you." ”

"Hmm..."

Zhou saw that his son's eyebrows were anxious, so he said: "Since the emperor has official business, let's go and get busy first, and then the queen mother will go to check it." ”

"Well, the queen mother walks slowly."

Seeing the Empress Dowager Zhou go away, Zhu Jianshen immediately said to Xiao Hengzi, who was leading the guard of honor, "Let's go, go to the Huanyi Bureau." ”

……

Raccoon Bureau.

Zhen'er was frightened for a long time, and when she saw that the old eunuch did not harass her again, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued her work.

There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, so do more work in advance, and the two days of the New Year will be easier.

Zhen'er has followed the Sun family since she was a child, and she is literate and hyphenated, and this statistics is like a fish in water, and the small abacus crackles.

She has to know how many clothes to wash, which area to put after washing, and when someone will pick them up.

This job seems easy, but not everyone can do it......

She was doing an inventory when she suddenly heard a noise outside, and then the sound of worship came and went.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor's ......!"

'Smack! The brush fell, blurring the numbers she had just calculated, and she stood up in a panic, 'Whoa! The abacus was knocked to the ground.

Zhen'er didn't care about regret, and hurriedly hid behind the pile of clothes, her heart beating wildly.

Why did he come, why did he come to the Huanyi Bureau...... Zhen'er was very flustered, and she was extremely nervous.

In fact, she didn't know why she was flustered.

Is it because of Li Qing?

Apparently not!

Her secret is only known to Li Qing and Emperor Jingtai, and now the emperor can find it, it is very likely that Li Qing told the truth, so she doesn't need to panic.

Maybe it's just that he's suffocated in the palace and scattered here, not what I thought. ’

Thinking of this, she slowly relaxed, and then, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

She took out the small bronze mirror from her arms, and when she saw the face reflected in the bronze mirror, her heart was even more lost, and finally turned into a sigh, hugging her knees, her chin resting on her knees, lonely and speechless.

"Where's she?" Zhu Jianshen dispersed the palace maids in the courtyard and left, and asked Xiao Hengzi.

"There." Xiao Hengzi pointed to a large house that looked like a warehouse not far away.

Zhu Jianshen bowed his head slightly, and said, "Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Jian sighed deeply, resisted his excitement, and stepped forward...

'Squeak~' The door was pushed open.

'I'm coming. ’

Here he comes. ’

One is in the light, the other is in the dark, and the mood is very nervous.

The storeroom is not small, as large as several large houses combined, and there are scattered yards of washed clothes.

Zhu Jianshen glanced around and didn't see a figure, but he had a strong feeling that Sister Zhen'er was here.

"I'm coming for you." He said.

This small sound fell on Zhen'er's ears, but it was like thunder, making her heart tremble.

Don't come, don't come...... She covered her mouth, her body trembling, and her face was full of fear.

She was scared, scared to face it.

She...... is already old, the years are gone, how to compare to the twenty-eight Fanghua woman.

"I know you're here." Zhu Jianshen said, "Come out and see me." ”

Zhen'er didn't respond, but her body trembled violently, she was scared, but she was also surprised, after so many years, the prince still remembered her.

'What am I rejoicing in?' ’

Zhen'er asked herself, pondered for a long time, and finally came to the result.

It turned out that he never left, at first he was a cute child, then a likable younger brother, and now he is ......

Knowing her mind, she is even more reluctant to face it, what is she now? Just an old woman in her thirties!

Even if he wasn't an emperor, or even just a commoner, she wouldn't be worthy.

Don't come here, please...... She buried her head, her body trembled, and tears fell silently.

"Don't cry~"

A gentle voice rang out.

Zhen'er's trembling body stiffened, and then, her head was buried lower, she couldn't wait to die on the spot, she really didn't have the courage to face it.

Zhu Jianshen sighed softly, and simply sat beside her regardless of the image and took her hand.

Zhen'er wanted to struggle, but she didn't have much strength, and her little hand was easily held by him.

His hands are so warm......

She buried her head in the side of her face, and never dared to face it.

Zhu Jianshen didn't force it, just stroked the hand, feeling the roughness of the little hand, he felt very distressed.

"Zhen'er...... Come back to the palace with me. Zhu Jianshen called her like this for the first time.

Even though she couldn't see it, she could feel it, at this time, those eyes were burning and longing with supplication.

She didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Zhen'er calmed down and regained her composure.

She withdrew her hand, got up and walked to the opposite side of Zhu Jianshen to bow and salute, "Long live the slave and maid to see my emperor." ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly and slowly got up: "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhen'er got up and hung her head in silence.

Zhu Jianshen stepped forward and hugged her, but she took a few steps back and silently refused.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen stopped being strong, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for so many years, you ...... Lost weight. ”

Thin, is... Old? Or is it getting ugly...... Zhen'er burst out of these thoughts uncontrollably.

But I heard Zhu Jianshen continue: "But that Zhen'er is so good-looking, so cute." ”

Zhen'er's brain fluttered, she lost her mind in an instant, and when she looked up again, she was already in tears......

Zhu Jianshen stepped forward, took her into his arms, and whispered, "I finally found you, go back to the palace with me......"

~

Long Yuan drove out of the Huanyi Bureau, and a cold voice came from inside:

"If today's things are preached, everyone will be killed!"

"Yes."

The accompanying more than 20 people should be respectful, silent as cicadas.

"Xiao Hengzi, go back to the palace and arrange it to disperse the slaves and maids waiting in the Qianqing Palace."

"Yes." Xiao Hengzi saluted Long Yuan and hurriedly went.

Dragon's Rim.

Zhen'er lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corners of her plain dress, both happy and nervous.

That palace was not only beautiful, but also dark, but now, she didn't want to retreat.

"Too... Your Majesty, do you want to arrange slaves and maids in the Qianqing Palace? ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Jianshen naturally took her hand and kissed the back of her hand lightly, causing Zhen'er to bury her head lower.

My head was dizzy, and I didn't know what I was thinking......

…

Qianqing Palace, resplendent and warm as spring.

The charcoal basin is fiery red, emitting the smell of rosin, compared to the Huanyi Bureau, it is simply heaven.

Zhen'er's whole person has been in a state of confusion, just like a dream.

After a while, Xiao Hengzi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the hot water in the inner hall has been prepared, and the slave maid has found two well-behaved and sensible maidservants, do you want them to serve...... Empress? ”

Hearing the word Niangniang, Zhen'er's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this can't be done, slave maid ......"

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Jianshen didn't care, and said to Xiao Hengzi: "Let people come and serve." ”

"Yes."

After a while, two little palace maids walked in, they had already been instructed, one by one, Zhen'er was half-pushed and half-pulled into the inner hall......

Zhu Jianshen was in a good mood and patted Xiao Hengzi on the shoulder: "Good job, make persistent efforts in the future, as long as you are willing to do things for me, this position of eunuch will not be the second choice." ”

"Yes, slave understands." Xiao Hengzi's heart is full of joy, he has been busy for so long, for this sentence.

Zhu Jianshen said: "My big wedding is imminent, and Zhen'er's affairs should not be exposed......"

After thinking about it, he finally felt a little uneasy, and said, "Hmm... Don't let anyone else know about it without my permission, you watch. ”

"The slave obeys."

Seeing that the emperor had no other orders, Xiao Hengzi bowed, withdrew from the hall, went to gather the insiders, and threatened with cruel words.

——

After bathing, Zhen'er changed into gorgeous new clothes, and under the steaming of water, her skin was white and red, and she looked a lot younger.

In front of the bronze mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror, and her strong inferiority complex was a little lessened.

She's not young anymore, but she's still beautiful.

The two little palace maids groomed her, and this kind of extravagant life that she dreamed of living made her extremely satisfied, but she suffered from gains and losses.

She didn't know how long she could be pretty, but obviously, it didn't last long, and this feeling of just getting and about to lose it was not very good.

'It would be nice to be twenty years younger, even if it was ten years younger.'

She thought so......

"Mother, it's okay." The little palace maid reminded softly.

"Hmm...," Sada-a nodded slightly.

Another little palace maid said, "Niangniang, please come with the slave maid." ”

"What to do, what to do?" Zhen'er stammered.

Of course she knew what was going to happen next, and it was because she knew that she was nervous......

The little palace maid was about to answer, but when she saw the emperor coming in, she hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "The slave and maid pay homage to the emperor." ”

"Well, step aside."

"Yes."

Zhu Jianshen stepped forward with a smile, his eyes full of love, but he was too young after all, and he was still a teenager.

The love of teenagers is often mixed with a lot of love.

He put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the lips......

Zhen'er was confused, fluttering, and suddenly felt that her body was light, and she had been picked up by Zhu Jianshen.

"Where are you going?"

Zhu Jianshen just laughed, laughing badly......

…

The charcoal basin burned very vigorously, and occasionally sparks popped out, rippling the picture.

Turning low, the swaying sound of the spring shadow is slower;

Thousands of murmurs, the dew between the flowers has bloomed......
