He paused and said again: "I still want to abolish the chief envoy of Jiaozhi."

At this moment, Qiu Fu couldn't bear it any longer, stood up again and cupped his fists and said, "The establishment of Jiaozhi Province was the achievement of Emperor Taizong. The current court not only does not defend it, but if it still abandons this place, I'm afraid..."

Xia Yuanji was a little agitated when he heard that Zhu Gaoxu was going to give up the loss-making place, and hurriedly and rudely interrupted Qiu Fu: "What the subjects of the world want is to live, work, live and work in peace and prosperity! The Holy One is wise and considerate of the people. Blame?"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said: "I didn't say that I would give up Jiaozhi, but only cut the province. You can refer to Jimi Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, first govern Jimi, and then make a long-term plan; otherwise, if you act too hastily, there will inevitably be local ambitious people who will continue to rebel, and the court will have to endure it." Many military expenditures to counter the rebellion caused casualties.”

The two people who advocated the most strongly calmed down a little.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but secretly sighed.No one understands his idea at all!He can only find another reason to explain it, and just implement his own philosophy.

Chapter 632 It's Perfect

The various departments in the palace have sent envoys to confer the title of Imperial Concubine Mu Zhen to welcome Mu Zhen into the palace.

Located in the East Sixth Palace area to the east of Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, the newly decorated Imperial Concubine Palace is magnificent.It is not as grand as the Kunning Palace here, but there are pavilions, pavilions, flowers and plants dotted between the palaces, making it more delicate and agile.The afterglow at dusk sprinkled on the glazed tiles, and the palaces and palaces were shrouded in the brilliance of various colors.

Both Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Zhen were wearing complicated dresses and sitting on two big chairs.The maid stepped forward and was pouring wine.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Mu Zhen, as if he had a thousand words to say, but at this moment, after a few polite words, the two of them were speechless.

Mu Zhen was wearing a Zhai crown and a blue and red two-color dress. Her delicate little face was blushing at the moment, with a hint of a smile on her face, but she looked very nervous and shy.She slightly raised her head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, but she avoided it as soon as she touched her eyes.Her rouge-painted red lips parted slightly, and her white teeth were faintly visible: "The Holy Majesty is very favored, and my concubine heard that the minister had objections, which made the Holy Majesty difficult."

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound.

Mu Zhen said softly again: "I remember that when the Holy Majesty was in Yunnan, he said that those who have great power should think about the future of all people in the world and the overall situation. Now that the Holy Majesty is finally the emperor, it is great for my concubine to enter the palace to assist the Holy Majesty in daily life." pleasure."

"The imperial concubine still remembers what I said." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

Mu Zhen said: "The concubine will naturally remember."

Zhu Gaoxu felt that there was something wrong with this way of talking.He thought for a moment, then waved his hand straight away, and said to the maids who served wine and stood by, "You all go down."

The people bowed their knees and said: "Slaves and maids wait for the order."

Mu Zhen's eyes flickered a little, and she took a few glances at the backs of the maids who went out.She watched them close the door of the bedroom, her face turned even redder, she seemed to be still nervous, and a pair of jade-white hands grabbed the skirt of the clothes vigorously.

"Today has kept you waiting for a long time." Zhu Gaoxu said gently.

When Mu Zhen heard these words, she seemed to be slightly relieved, she raised her head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "I am willing..." Before she finished speaking, she found that Zhu Gaoxu was carefully looking at her breasts and clothes, Immediately, he hastily avoided his face slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "I didn't feel frivolous that time, but I still saw the beautiful scenery. It has been unforgettable for many years, and it often comes to my mind."

Mu Zhen sat there with downcast eyes, speechless for a moment.The wine has not been drunk yet, but her face looks like she has drunk a lot of wine.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed her jade white hand wearing the Burmese ruby ​​ring, Mu Zhen's body trembled slightly, as if her whole body was frozen.

Unexpectedly, at this time Zhu Gaoxu took out a jade bracelet from his sleeve pocket, gently pinched her phalanx, and put the bracelet on her wrist.There are also two gold bracelets with hollow patterns on her wrists, together with the brightly colored green bracelets and ruby ​​rings, the jade-white hand looks even more beautiful.

Seeing this, Mu Zhen leaned forward and said, "My concubine, thank the Holy One for his kindness."

Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: other imperial concubines have them, it is a gift to make up.

"It's beautiful." Zhu Gaoxu played with her slender hands and said, "The emeralds from the Pingmian Xuanwei Division in Yunnan are considered items from our hometown."

Her body finally relaxed quite a bit, and she said quietly with a blushing face, "I've also recalled that embarrassing... side countless times."

Zhu Gaoxu felt her violent and subtle mood swings at this moment; from her eyes, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be able to feel her heart was in turmoil.Zhu Gaoxu cautiously let go further: "Is there any change now? The 'scenery'."

Mu Zhen glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, lowered her eyes and slightly pursed her lips.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Would you like to show me?"

Mu Zhen's breathing was a bit heavy, but her voice sounded like a mosquito flapping its wings: "Now is what it should be."

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Your name is very interesting. After I saw your body last time, I went back to my home and checked "Shuowen Jiezi", and then I suddenly realized that the word is really suitable for the occasion."

Mu Zhen was slightly taken aback, as if she had thought of something, her ears turned red with embarrassment, as if she wanted to hide it.She was speechless and unable to respond to Zhu Gaoxu anymore.

Zhu Gaoxu was very calm, he continued: "You undress in front of me again, I like to watch."

Mu Zhen sat there terrified.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "This time it is an imperial decree."

Mu Zhen raised her head to look at him, and they looked at each other, but Zhu Gaoxu noticed that her mood seemed to have changed many times in an instant.A beautiful smile gradually appeared on her blushing face: "I am willing to give you whatever the Holy Spirit wants."

...The emperor specially added the title of imperial concubine, and named the eldest daughter of Duke Mu Sheng of Qianguo as imperial concubine.These things are what people like to talk about in the court.

Ma Enhui, who was located in the south courtyard of the imperial garden, heard the maids whispering about this more than once.

This is not a cold palace, and the location is not remote; it is very close to the West Sixth Palace and the Imperial Garden.Moreover, Ma Enhui and the people around her can walk around to relax, and she sometimes goes to the Royal Garden for a walk.

The expenses and treatment given to her by the House of Internal Affairs in the palace are very good, and life is much better than in Fengyang; almost one is in the sky and the other is on the ground!

However, her feelings in the two places also have something in common, that is: leisure.

Ma Enhui has already left the center of power, whether she is in the outer court or the palace, she has reached the edge.Ma Enhui didn't need to participate in the various ceremonies recently, the ceremonies of the wives meeting the queen at the Dashan Hall, and the etiquette of the court concubines at the Kunning Palace; it can be said that she had almost nothing to do.

So her daily life became slower and slower, like tonight she took a shower and changed clothes, it took nearly half an hour.Anyway, it's not in a hurry. After taking a bath, she asked the maids to trim her toenails.Not long after living in the palace, she became even more beautiful than before under careful care.

Although it is very free, the days are not very boring, at least you can have a chat with the maids.In the palace, there are too many things to talk about.

The palace lady Qiaoer, who was carefully grooming Ma Enhui's nails under the palace lantern, was talking while she was doing the work: "A few days ago, another person lived in the nearby yard. Madame, guess who it is?"

Ma Enhui said casually: "The queen's sister, Mrs. Guo."

Qiaoer raised her head immediately, and said in surprise, "You already know?"

Ma Enhui smiled, and said in her heart: When I was a queen, you hadn't entered the palace yet.I'm not under confinement now, if I don't know about such important things in the palace, then how did I become a queen before?

She said casually: "I listened to what the slaves said."

Qiaoer immediately said enthusiastically: "I heard that she (Guo Yan) was originally the concubine of the abolished prince. Now the abolished prince's family has gone to Fengyang, and because she is a member of the Guo family, she is given preferential treatment. The empress said In other words, she just lives here, and there are more than a dozen people waiting for her. Noble, always noble..."

Qiao'er spoke bluntly, and seemed to realize that she was talking too much, so she quickly raised her head and glanced at Ma Enhui.Ma Enhui just smiled and didn't look unhappy.

Only then did the maid feel relieved, exhaled lightly, and hurriedly said: "Madam, you are also a noble person. I heard that even the Holy Majesty is thinking of your kindness. Now in this palace, there are people who are close to the Holy Majesty. Have a good life... Madame, why don't you go to Madam Guo's side and walk around?"

Ma Enhui nodded her head and said calmly: "Gradually, the weather is getting hotter. I remember there are still a few bolts of thin silk in the yard. You can take one out and wrap it up later. I'll send it to Mrs. Guo tomorrow."

Qiao'er suddenly looked a little complacent, as if she was quite happy because she thought well and the suggestion was adopted, she hurriedly said: "Yes."

After trimming her toenails, Qiaoer put on cloth shoes for Ma Enhui, and she went out with scissors and a tub.

Ma Enhui, who was calm and smiling just now, the smile on her face disappeared completely at this moment!
