Super Smuggling System

As the birth mother, Princess Zhou, although the child was recognized by Zhang Yan, she still cared about her own flesh and blood very much.

In addition, since Zhu Cihong entered the palace, Princess Zhou has always been taking care of her personally, and Zhang Yan rarely intervenes in the life of the new emperor.

In this way, although Princess Zhou and Zhu Cihong have no mother-child status in the palace, they are no different from the Xinwang Mansion they lived in before, except that they have changed their living environment and have a group of court ladies and eunuchs around them.

It can be said that Princess Zhou's maternal love for Zhu Cihong did not decrease by half because she lost her mother's identity, and even late at night could not stop her from returning to Qianqing Palace.

However, as the queen mother, Zhang Yan personally persuaded her to stay, but it was hard for Princess Zhou to refuse her kindness.

Considering that Zhu Cihong didn't have her around, and there were also a group of eunuchs and court ladies waiting on her, it shouldn't be a big problem not to be around for a night, so she agreed to Zhang Yan's proposal.

On the phoenix couch of Renshou Palace, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law slept together.

After listening to Princess Zhou's explanation, Li Mu understood the whole story, glanced at the jade man sitting on the phoenix couch, and said, "Then why didn't you refuse when I kissed you just now?"

It seems that Princess Zhou was very cooperative when she opened the Yumen Pass at first, and the two became entangled in their lips.

"This, that." Li Mu's question made Princess Zhou feel a little embarrassed, her body sitting on the phoenix couch twitched non-stop, her face turned red to the base of her neck.

Taking a peek at Li Mu, he said as thin as a mosquito, "I thought it was a dream."

At first, when Li Mu kissed her, Princess Zhou really thought it was a dream, and she was in a dream at that time, so she couldn't help responding.

It wasn't until Li Mu lifted the brocade quilt that she felt a chill, that she woke up from the dream and realized that someone was trying to do something wrong to her.

"Dream?" Li Mu glanced at the embarrassing Princess Zhou, and then suddenly realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was dreaming at that time, and it was the kind of erotic dream that made him respond so actively.

It was no wonder that Princess Zhou was a few years younger than Zhang Yan at this time. Without Li Mu's intervention, she would not have lost her husband so early and become a widow who could not be remarried.

In this way, Li Mu is also responsible for Princess Zhou's dreaming. After all, Zhu Youjian will hang himself in Meishan more than ten years later.

Concubine Zhou will still have a normal married life for more than ten years, but she is doing well now, she can only rely on Chunmeng to solve her psychological and physical intolerance.

After being guessed by Li Mu, Princess Zhou's face turned even redder, she rolled her eyes, and blamed, "Don't say it."

After finishing speaking, he buried his blushing cheeks between his arms, not daring to raise his head.

Li Mu saw that Princess Zhou was like this, so he couldn't explain it further. Speaking of it, he was at fault first. In order to ease the embarrassment, he asked, "Princess Zhou, why is there a grand meeting today? What is it that requires the Empress Dowager to listen to the government?"

After the new emperor Zhu Cihong came to the throne, the court generally would not attend court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, unless something happened that related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

For general small matters, the Six Departments will deal with them first, and those that cannot be handled will be reported to the Empress Dowager Yi'an in the Qianqing Palace, also known as the Xiaochaohui.

According to Li Mu's understanding, the affairs of the imperial court can basically be resolved at the small court meeting, and there is no need to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to hold the big court meeting, it is still early.

Princess Zhou raised her head and asked in surprise, "You don't know? It's impossible."

Today, in the early court of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was only one thing that could be discussed, and almost half of the people in the Ming Dynasty knew about this matter.

Li Mu really didn't know, so he could only say helplessly: "Princess Zhou, I really don't know."

He just came back from his own plane, and Li Mu knew nothing about what happened in the Daming plane. When he was storing grain in Shanxi, he didn't ask the Eagle Guards around him. After taking the grain out of the system, he sent it directly After returning to the palace, even the thousand households from Shanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Office were not summoned.

How did you know what happened to the Ming court?

.....

After listening to Princess Zhou's speculation about the early morning court, Li Mu hurriedly said goodbye, and exited the Renshou Palace with a serious expression on his face, so that the maids and eunuchs who passed by did not dare to make a sound, and after a hasty salute, he ran away far away up.

The maids and eunuchs of Renshou Palace thought it was Princess Zhou's failure to agree, which caused Li Mu's face to turn pale, and he left in displeasure, feeling sorry for Princess Zhou in the Nuan Pavilion.

These court ladies and eunuchs at the bottom of the palace are the most well-informed people in the palace. No matter what happens in the palace, they basically know about it.

Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, these court ladies and eunuchs are also clear.

Now the real situation of the entire imperial palace of Ming Dynasty is best known by these court ladies and eunuchs. They know who is really in charge of this imperial palace.

It wasn't the Empress Dowager Yi'an, nor Wei Zhongxian, who wrote the pen before the imperial court, but Li Mu, the commander of Jinyiwei.

That's why they felt sorry for Princess Zhou. If she had followed in the warm pavilion just now, not to mention walking sideways in this palace, she would at least have a status.

It's not as special and embarrassing as it is now.

These low-level court ladies and eunuchs don't understand any major principles, they only know one thing, that is, the new emperor is too young to be the master of the palace.

As for whether he can make the decision in the future, it will have to wait for the new emperor to have a chance to grow up.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the women in this palace to belong to the new emperor. After all, the new emperor is not old enough to use women.

Since it does not belong to the new emperor, it can only belong to the real owner of the palace, which is Li Mu.

In the eyes of the maids and eunuchs, even the Empress Dowager Yi'an had to take off her clothes and bow her head. If Princess Zhou wanted to survive in this palace, she could only rely on Li Mu.

As for Princess Zhou being the new emperor's biological mother, in the eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs, it is really not a prominent status, especially since this status cannot be mentioned yet.

Because the new emperor Zhu Cihong has a mother, that is Zhang Yan, Queen Mother Yi'an, not Princess Zhou.

Judging from the understanding of the palace maids and eunuchs, the current Zhou Wangfei and the "Fengsheng Lady" Hakka are of the same status, but they know that there will be no more Hakka in this palace.

If Zhou Wangfei didn't want to be hidden in the cold palace that day, or kicked out of the palace, it was a good opportunity to be alone with Li Mu in the warm pavilion just now.

Chapter 248 The first year of Chongzhen

The reason why Li Mu came out of Renshou Palace with a serious face was of course not that Princess Zhou refused to obey him as the maids and eunuchs had guessed.

Why did you leave so soon?Could it be that Princess Zhou is not attractive?

That's not true, Princess Zhou is very attractive. Although her appearance is slightly inferior to that of Zhang Yan, who is known as the queen of beauty, she also has the color of overwhelming the harem.

Zhang Yan's beauty is complex. Before entering the palace, she was a lady, but she had a charming and gorgeous appearance. This combination of knowledge, rationality and charm is like a cup of poison that makes men want to stop.

Concubine Zhou, on the other hand, is like the antidote to relieve the poison of this cup, dignified and beautiful, with a state of beauty, just like the bowl of sobering soup that nourishes the stomach after drinking a cup of intoxicating strong wine.

Li Mu really wanted to stay in the warm pavilion of Renshou Palace for a while, chatting with the beauties about life, it would be a very wonderful thing.

But he heard a bad news from Princess Zhou, so he had to leave Renshou Palace in a hurry and rush towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Walking on the royal road of the palace, Li Mu played with the jade wrench in his hand while rushing towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony, recalling the news he had just received in his mind.

I learned from Princess Zhou that it has now officially entered the first year of Chongzhen, that is, 1628. Not only that, more than half of this year has passed.

Li Mu stayed in this plane for a month, and there was a nine-fold time difference between the two planes. Nine months had passed since he left in the Ming plane.

Nine months is enough for the Ming plane to enter the first year of Chongzhen, and consume more than half of this year.

This is not the most important thing, time has passed, and the most important thing is that the first grain harvest season has passed in the Ming plane.

The correction is that in the first year of Chongzhen, as recorded in history, there was a severe drought in the north, thousands of miles of barren land, and no grass grew. Since this year, Shaanxi has experienced severe drought year after year.
