"The slave and maid meet the queen's mother, the mother is blessed with Jin'an......" Zhen'er knelt down and kowtowed, respectful to the extreme.

She is very afraid, everything has a shelf life, and she is not confident enough to the point that the emperor has always favored her.

Even if the emperor has been favoring him unabated, he can't be presumptuous, after all...... The emperor can't tie her up, take her wherever she goes.

This harem, after all, is still the world of the queen mother and queen.

has been in the palace for thirty years, which is clear to her, not to mention ...... She's also weak-hearted!

Although she knew Zhu Jianshen earlier, this is not a capital, on the contrary, the Wu family is the main palace that Ming Media is marrying, even if it is placed in an ordinary family, she is only a concubine, and she must be respectful to her wife.

In this era, if the concubine is rude, the wife will be killed, and she will not be punished severely.

Not to mention the harem, a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

Zhen'er grabbed the ground with her head, and she didn't dare to breathe.

"Get up." Wu Shi said lightly, she had emotions in her heart, but because of her status as the queen, it was not easy to attack.

Eating an old palace maid's vinegar is too cheap.

"Xie Niangniang." Zhen'er got up, stood respectfully aside, and bowed her head silently.

Wu didn't know what to say, to be honest, she was quite speechless, and it was still unbelievable until now.

After a long time, she asked, "You and the emperor...... When was this? ”

"Back to my mother... It's just a matter of a few days. Zhen'er said in a sneering voice, always ready to meet Wu's trouble.

However, the Wu family did not make any difficulty, just nodded, and said: "The emperor is still young, it is the age of greed, don't serve people in order to be favored, the emperor can be tied to the people of the world." ”

"Yes, mother, slave and maid, remember." Zhen'er is obedient and very well-behaved.

Wu sighed lightly and said, "Look at your ugly face, but you're sick?" ”

"The mother's eyes are like torches, slaves... It's a bit uncomfortable. Zhen'er said with her head down.

"Then let's rest." Wu got up and said: "You don't need to worry, this palace is not as knowledgeable as you, and it is your blessing to be favored by the emperor, but ...... If you are pampered and arrogant, and you are invisible, this palace will not spare you. ”

"Yes, the slave doesn't dare."

Zhen'er lowered her head a little more.

Wu said 'um' and walked out of the inner hall.

"Slave and maid send the queen mother......" Zhen'er bowed again, and only after confirming that the queen was far away did she dare to raise her head.

After such a fright, she sweated and was not so cold.

Just thinking of the difficulties she will face in the future, she is uneasy, the little queen is okay, the right to speak is not big, it is the queen mother who is difficult, and the civil and military officials of the outer court.

Zhen'er didn't dare to think about how these people would attack her if they found out.

"Alas... Let's take it one step at a time. Zhen'er muttered to herself, "I hope ...... All the best. ”

At this time, the two palace maids came in with hot water and said respectfully: "Niangniang, it's time to bathe." ”

"Hmm..."Zhen'er came back to her senses, her mood suddenly improved a lot, she has been serving people, and now she is being served, which is a wonderful feeling.

"No, resolutely no, isn't this nonsense?" Zhou was rarely angry: "Last night, I felt that the servant girl was a little familiar, I didn't want to be her, I really had the courage to ......"

"Queen Mother, can you calm down?" Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly, "It's just a concubine, can you use it like this?" ”

"Of course!" Zhou's stance was firm, and even some of the defenses were broken: "How old is she, if this spreads...... Where is the royal face? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou snorted: "I want to make her a concubine, unless the palace is dead." ”

"Queen Mother...... Keerchen really likes her. "Zhu Jianshen played the emotional card.

But it didn't work!

Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily: "It's not promising, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into her?" ”

"No, I just like her." Zhu Jianshen said, "Queen Mother, the imperial grandmother used to be a palace maid, you know this." ”

"What? You still want her to be the queen? ”

"That's not true, I just want to give her a name." Zhu Jianshen shook his head, "I like her, but I won't lose my mind, I love beauties, and I love the country even more." ”

"......" Zhou was speechless, and said irritably: "This palace doesn't care about this, it's not allowed anyway." ”

"Erchen likes her!"

"Do you like that?" Empress Dowager Zhou raised her forehead, "Son, you are sick, you have to be cured!" ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Not this time!" Empress Dowager Zhou still didn't let go, and said bitterly: "See Shen, you have just ascended the throne, and the hundred officials have not yet returned to their hearts, if you do such a ridiculous thing, what do you make the hundred officials think?" ”

Zhu Jianshen disagreed: "Why don't you just accept a palace maid as a concubine?" ”

"It's not tight to accept a palace maid as a concubine, but it's too tight to accept a palace maid as big as your mother." Empress Dowager Zhou was angry, "You, you, you let the queen mother say what you are good ......"

"The queen mother asked you, is it important for a woman to have a country and a hundred officials?"

Zhu Jianshen was silent for a long time, and nodded lightly: "Then don't canonize it first, and wait until the situation is completely stabilized, and then canonize the hundred officials, is this good?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou: "...... Do you have to be canonized? ”óΠъ.oяＧ

"Queen Mother, Erchen likes her, I really like her." Zhu Jianshen said seriously.

Zhou was bitter, but more often than not.

In the past, Zhu Qizhen was also affectionate, but the object was not her; Now, her son is like this again, and he does not hesitate to contradict her repeatedly.

She...... It's uncomfortable!

"Whatever you want, anyway, you are the emperor, and this palace can't persuade you." She said lonely.

"Queen Mother...... Erchen knew that he was wrong. Zhu Jianshen hurriedly said that he was obedient, pulled Zhou to sit down, pinched her shoulders and beat her legs, looking like a filial son, but it soothed some of the old mother's injured heart.

…

In the small courtyard, when Li Qing arrived home, Li Hong was chopping dumpling filling.

After so many years, Li Qing's craft has been learned by many young and old.

After the little girl was reprimanded by Li Qing, she also became honest, rolling dumpling wrappers on the side, and when she saw Li Qing, she just called out obediently: "Uncle Li." ”

I didn't even dare to ask for a red envelope.

Li Qing stopped the two, "Today's New Year, my godfather said to make food for you, talk and count, let's go play." ”

As he spoke, he took out the silver tattoo from his two sleeves: "The emperor's hair, I haven't covered it yet, take it." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

"Thank you, godfather."

The two took the New Year's money, knelt down and kowtowed, and gave Li Qing New Year's greetings.

"Alright, let's all go play." Li Qing walked to the water tank, scooped up a scoop of water and washed his hands, "Just wait to eat something delicious." ”

"Godfather, I'll help make the pot."

"No need, go ahead."

Li Qing sent them away, rolled up his sleeves and got busy.

In previous years, every New Year's Day was his busiest day, and now when I look back, I can only sigh......

The New Year is always happy, even every household is filled with the aroma of rice and meat, and the New Year is always a good meal.

After lunch, Li Qing fried some meatballs, steamed steamed buns, and then led the donkey out of the door.

The donkey is getting older and older, but his spirit is still good, and his hooves and feet are also neat, walking with Li Qing, listening to the nagging, from time to time 'um~ah~' twice......

Now, Li Qing's broken thoughts can only be confided in the donkey, after all, ...... It doesn't speak.

But it seemed to understand, and when Li Qing was gloomy, it would arch Li Qing's palm and snort warmly......

~

In the blink of an eye, the annual leave has passed, and it is the day of the last dynasty, but Li Qing has not been affected and is still living his own comfortable life.

But he knew that he wouldn't be comfortable for long.

The situation on the grassland will probably be sent back before and after the Lantern Festival, and no matter what the result is, he will not be able to stay at home.

The two sides of the grassland have been holding back for these years, and now they are bursting out, which will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on the future pattern, and the Ming Dynasty must pay attention to it.

Li Qing was a little worried, calculating the time, the honest Rose Boyan Timur was also old, and it was estimated that it would be only in the past two years.

If this affectionate leader of Warat is gone, then Daming's control over Warat will also be deeply affected, what should be the way forward?

It is foreseeable that after the shock of the war, there will be many tribes to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, the reason is very simple, they have been seriously affected, they have no ability to gain a foothold in the grassland, and it is their best choice to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

But this is time-limited, in short, only this wave.

"You still have to plan ahead...... Li Qing said to himself.

Imperial Palace, Inner Hall of Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Jianshen said seriously: "Zhen'er, don't worry, when I stabilize the court situation and settle the hundred officials, I will canonize you as a concubine." ”

Zhen'er nodded, and shook her head again: "Your Majesty, it's actually good like this, slave maid ......"

Zhu Jianshen stretched out his index finger and pressed it on her lips, "Call her a concubine." ”

"Minister... The concubine is now content. Zhen'er said: "It's nothing more than an identity, the concubine doesn't care about this, and if it's really public......"

"I care." Zhu Jianshen said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about anything, when the time is right, I will give you a name." ”

Zhen'er wanted to say more, but her lip flap was blocked......

…

Since she moved into the inner hall, Zhen'er has been favored by her, and she also persuaded Zhu Jianshen to get wet with rain and dew, but Zhu Jianshen didn't listen, so he spoiled her, and spoiled her......

While Zhen'er is happy, she is also a little apprehensive, after all...... The queen and the queen mother all know about her existence, and if it goes on like this, she will have no good fruit to eat.

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubine and the virtuous concubine are all rare beauties." Zhen'er persuaded, "If the dragon son can be born earlier, the hundred officials will be more able to return to their hearts, slaves... Concubines are ...... When you are older, there is nothing more important than wasting energy on your concubines. ”

Her eyes were moist: "The emperor thinks of the concubines in his heart, and the concubines are very happy, but you are also the husband of the queen mother, and the queen mother is still anxious to hold her grandson." ”

"I know what I know." Zhu Jianshen smiled: "The queen mother is anxious to hold her grandson, but what if you give birth to a dragon son for me first?" ”

"I... I'm ......"

"What, are you not confident in yourself, or are you not confident in me?"

"I ......" Zhen'er was heartbroken and looked forward to it......

However, she soon calmed down: "Just let it be, the emperor didn't snub the queen, let's let her ...... first"

'Bell bell bell ~' The knock on the door sounded, the emperor was not in a hurry, the eunuch was in a hurry, "Your Majesty, the time is up." ”

Zhen'er blushed and pushed him, "Your Majesty, get up quickly." ”

Zhu Jianshen reluctantly got up and dressed, and as soon as he left the inner hall, Xiao Hengzi stepped forward and added in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is looking for you, it seems that ...... Very dissatisfied with the emperor. ”

"Hmm... I see. Zhu Jianshen sighed, "The Queen Mother is in Kunning Palace, right?" ”

Xiao Hengzi Gong claimed to be.

"What a headache...... Zhu Jianshen muttered, and set off to Kunning Palace, ready to meet the storm......
