Zhu Qizhen nodded and smiled, "It's not easy for you to know your own advantages, insist on being yourself, and don't change for foreign affairs, this color is really good for you." What about you, Wang, your pink clothes are really bright, I look at it, and I feel that my eyes are bright, do you like to wear pink on weekdays?"

"Back to the emperor, little girls rarely wear this color. "Oh, then why did you choose this today?" "Back to the emperor, since entering Beijing, my father has often been unhappy, and when he got up early this day, he cried when he saw me dressing up, so I chose this dress in the brightest color, so that my father would not be so sad when he saw me happily enter the palace. ”

"That's the case, your father is reluctant to let you go, for fear that once you are selected, you will be wronged when you enter the palace. "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then after you enter the palace, what do you think of this place?" "Back to the emperor, the little girl only thinks that it is so big and there are many houses, but why is the garden so small? It is almost as big as the little girl's house." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Do you think the garden is too small?" "Yes, Your Majesty." The houses of large private families often have a larger garden than a house, but there are so many houses in the palace, but there is only one such a small garden. The little girl also thought that the mothers of each palace had their own small gardens, and each one was different. Who knew that after looking at it all the way, I realized that there were so many people in the palace, and there was only one garden in total, and it was still so small. ”

Zhu Qizhen laughed, "Your father didn't want you to enter the palace, he finally entered the palace, and at first glance, this garden is not as big as his own family, isn't this a marriage." When everyone saw him laughing, they dared to release their suppressed laughter.

Zhu Qizhen coughed a few times, and said, "This is the difficulty in the palace that is not known to outsiders, the emperor should take care of every opportunity, and he is the most unworthy person in the world. Speaking of royal gardens, there are still a few places, but they are not in the palace, you have to go to it, a few times a year, more is not enough, close the door to build a big garden, that is absolutely not allowed. ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhu Qizhen said, "The three of you are all very good, and the prince taking any of them as his wife is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life." The three girls hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Tie Ling didn't have the heart to care who Zhu Qizhen chose as his daughter-in-law, he only thought that the sun was setting slowly.

Listening to the gossip of everyone in the room for a long time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly said, "I shouldn't have mentioned this matter so early, but although you are young, once you are selected, you will be the master of the harem in the future." Since ancient times, it is difficult for monarchs to devote their lives to love, if you are the queen, but the emperor loves someone else, and even favors that person more than you, at that time, how will you deal with yourself?"

The three girls obviously didn't expect Fang Cai to be so relaxed and casual, but now they suddenly threw out such a heavy and sharp question, and suddenly they all calmed down.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "It's okay, you can speak freely." In fact, whether it is the emperor or the queen, sitting in this position, there is scenery, and it is more bitter, although it is a blessing to do it, if you don't do it, it is not necessarily a loss. Speak what is in your heart. Wu, let's start with you. ”

Wu Shi tried hard while thinking about it, "Back to the emperor, if the little girl is the queen, she must follow the ancestral teachings, the emperor is in charge of the previous dynasty, and the queen is in charge of the harem, the emperor is to favor another woman, and he can't violate the palace rules and mess up the rank." "But what if the emperor insists on going his own way, and even becomes dissatisfied with you because of this?"

"Back to the emperor, since he is the emperor, he has to take into account the overall situation, and there needs to be sacrifices in his actions, just like if the little girl is the queen, there will be sacrifices. If the queen will only blindly obey the emperor, everyone in the harem will be pampered and arrogant, and won't it be chaotic? Even if the people of the world see it, they will laugh at it. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed, "You are right, your words are contrary to your ears, since ancient times, there is a queen who dares to say that the emperor is not, it is the blessing of the emperor." Wang, what about you?"

"Back to the emperor, the little girl knows that her qualifications are shallow, and there are many beauties in the world like the sea? If the little girl is selected, but she is not loved by the emperor, the little girl must reflect on herself every day to see if she has not done enough, in order to improve. ”

"It's rare that you can think like that. Wang, what about you?" "Ah, back to the emperor, this little girl didn't think about it. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Indeed, this question is really difficult for you, no matter how many concubines there are in the big folk households, I'm afraid it can't be compared with the palace." "Back to the emperor, my father has no concubines. "Haha~ Then you can just say it, and say whatever comes to mind. ”

"Uh~ Yes, if the little girl marries the prince, it is the prince's wife, my father often says, the married couple is the most affectionate, how can a woman run out, the emperor loves her more than me? If the emperor got acquainted with her first, the little girl can still accept it, if she meets later, the little girl will definitely be sad. If that's the case, the position of the little queen should be given to her to sit down, and even the emperor's heart has been lost, so what's the point of the little girl fighting with her again?"

Zhu Suzhen was dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "It turns out that you are an unambitious person." There was no reproach in the words.

This topic did not continue to go deeper, and after talking for a while, the sky darkened, and dinner was passed on, and the conversation during the banquet was very pleasant, but it sounded like Zhu Qizhen and the three show girls' answers, and Tie Ling knew that the prince had stuttering, so he didn't think it was strange.

Several degrees of itchy hands, forcibly endured, and finally saw the moon in the sky, after the three show girls finished eating, they drank tea again, and said goodbye.

Tie Ling only listened to Zhu Qizhen in the house and asked the prince, "Who do you like?" The prince finally said the longest sentence so far: "Erchen belongs to the Wang family." ”

Zhu Qizhen suddenly became angry and scolded, "I knew that you rabbit cub had this idea!" The prince was silent for a long time, and said, "Doesn't my father also like her?" "I am me, you are you! Now I am choosing a daughter-in-law for you! If you let her be your queen, you will not be able to go to heaven? She will only let you come nonsense!"

The prince was full of grievances and couldn't make a sound with tears, the more Zhu Qizhen looked at him, the more angry he became, and finally said, "Forget it, you go back to the palace to rest, your marriage must be decided by me and your mother." The prince knew that it would be useless for him to fight again, and he had no ability to debate, so he had to bow his head and withdraw.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a long time, and sent a decree to drive the Hongde Palace, surrounded by a group of eunuchs. Tie Ling asked the palace maid beside her, "Doesn't the emperor go to see the queen?"

The palace maid did not doubt it, and said in a low voice, "The queen is sick and weak, and she will rest at night, and the emperor must be sleeping in the Hongde Hall tonight." By the way, you're new here, no wonder you don't know, there is just a beauty in the palace, it is said that Yan presses the palaces, and accompanies him in the Hongde Hall every night. She knew that Tie Ling was a newcomer who had just arrived in the womb from the Huanyi Bureau, and she was happy to tell her the latest gossip.

Tie Ling was overjoyed, and seeing that it was inconvenient to openly follow at this time, he retreated with the palace maids, found an excuse on the way, and escaped into the shadows.

Finally saw that the third was approaching, and quietly went to the Hongde Palace, Wan Zhen'er had already given her a detailed map of the palace, and marked the key points on it, Zhu Qizhen has been diligent in government in recent years, even if there is no beauty, he often stays in the Hongde Hall at night.
