Emperor's Grace

Xia Wuyue Xinsi, Emperor Zhaoyang was honored by the Empress Dowager to the other palace in Beihai.

The other palace in Beihai was built when the Dayan Dynasty was founded. The pavilions and pavilions are all built along the water, and the green mountains are surrounded by the clear water.It is said that the founding emperor built this summer resort hidden among mountains and rivers in order to please his beloved queen. It is a rule that later emperors will come here to stay for a month or two every midsummer.

Zhu Yunjing didn't get up until Chen Shi was about to pass, so Emperor Zhaoyang knew about his laziness and decided to teach him a lesson, but he was always like this during these days, lack of energy, sleepiness and lethargy. It was changed to once every three days, and he could catch his breath.

Wang Jiu took care of Zhu Yunjing and changed into a stone blue brocade uniform embroidered with gold thread dark patterns. After the heat was getting hot, he couldn't wear too much even if he was afraid of the cold. Fortunately, his stomach was only slightly protruding at the moment. It can be easily covered up.

After breakfast and medicine, someone from the Empress Dowager asked Zhu Yunjing to come over, but they didn't say what was the matter. Zhu Yunjing was bored at first, so she went straight.

On the road, I met Zhu Yunxuan who sneaked out in the middle of studying, and said that he wanted to go with him. Zhu Yunjing was puzzled: "Why don't you come out to join in the fun with Gu if you don't study?"

Zhu Yunxuan giggled: "Brother Prince, you don't know yet, the emperor's grandmother invited a lot of official ladies over today, and they are all admiring the flowers in the garden at the moment. The emperor's grandmother told you to come over to let you see people with your own eyes."

Zhu Yunjing really didn't know: "...so what are you doing?"

"Help you choose your future wife." Zhu Yunxuan took it for granted.

Zhu Yunjing had no interest in this matter, and only wanted to procrastinate as long as she could.When we arrived in the garden, we could hear the sweet voices and laughter from afar. A dozen girls sat on both sides of the empress dowager, admiring the flowers, drinking tea, talking and amusing with her.

Zhu Yunjing didn't look sideways, and went forward to greet the Queen Mother. Even so, he could also feel the curious or scrutinizing eyes that fell on him. Zhu Yunjing was very unhappy. How could this be his choice of concubine? , it seems that he is being judged by others.

The Empress Dowager called him to the front, seeing that his complexion was not very good, she asked him a few words of concern, Zhu Yunjing answered absent-mindedly, the Empress Dowager mentioned that someone just wrote a poem with some artistic conception, but Zhu Yunjing didn't say it for a long time After answering the conversation, Zhu Yunxuan from the side came up to amuse the queen mother and relieved him.

Zhu Yunjing glanced coldly at the girls sitting below him, his gaze shifted over, the girls who had been peeking at him all shyly smiled and lowered their heads, Zhu Yunjing frowned, what's so funny?

After only staying for a while, Zhu Yunjing excused himself to go to pay respects to Emperor Zhaoyang and left first. Zhu Yunxuan followed and left with unsatisfied interest, and asked him with a smile: "Brother Prince, why did you lose your mind on such an occasion just now? What about Wangge?" The old granddaughter is a well-known talented woman, and the great writers who wrote the poem said it was good, but you didn't give me any face."

"Oh."

Zhu Yunxuan sighed: "You really didn't like any of them? The granddaughter of Wang Gelao is gentle and beautiful, and Zhou Shangshu's daughter is lively and delicate. I think they are all very good."

Zhu Yunjing glanced at him sideways: "I'll give it all to you, okay?"

"That's okay, everyone is going to be a princess."

"You are not young anymore, you can marry a concubine."

"I'm only less than fifteen, don't be in a hurry," the old god Zhu Yunxuan shook his head on the ground, and lowered his voice, "Brother Prince, you don't like this or that, don't you really think about that?" Xu Hanlin, right?"

Zhu Yunjing lowered her voice: "What do you think about a dead person?"

"Oh...that's my mistake." No wonder Zhu Yunxuan thought so, he had never seen Zhu Yunjing look at anyone other than Xu Shixian, and he couldn't imagine who Zhu Yunjing would choose. What kind of concubine, he didn't have the nerve to say that those girls just now were not as good-looking as his prince's elder brother, so it was really aggrieved for Zhu Yunjing to choose them.

But if you want to choose a male concubine, you still don't think it's appropriate. Even if it's Xu Shixian's outstanding appearance, it always makes people feel that there is something wrong with being a concubine.

After sending Zhu Yunxuan away, Zhu Yunjing shook his head and went to Emperor Zhaoyang.

He Huailing was also there, as if he was reporting the progress of the investigation to the emperor. When Zhu Yunjing entered, he stopped talking and saluted Zhu Yunjing first.Zhu Yunjing ignored him, and greeted Emperor Zhaoyang. Emperor Zhaoyang smiled and asked, "You just came from your grandmother's place? Your grandmother hosted a banquet for the daughters of various families today, have you seen them all? Do you like it?"

Zhu Yunjing did not expect that Emperor Zhaoyang would talk about this matter with himself in front of his foreign ministers, especially that person was He Huailing.

He Huailing's eyes darkened slightly, and she heard Zhu Yunjing say: "It's all good, I feel that each has its own merits, and it's fine for the father and grandmother to decide."

Emperor Zhaoyang didn't believe it: "Isn't there anyone who is particularly attractive?"

Zhu Yunjing smiled: "Father was joking, so many girls are together, how could I have the nerve to stare at them, in fact, I didn't even see what they looked like."

Emperor Zhaoyang was immediately happy: "Are you still going to be embarrassed?"

As he spoke, he sighed again: "I think it was the same for me back then. At that time, your mother and queen came into the palace together. I was called to see it, and I immediately fell in love with your mother. At that time, she was standing under the peach blossom tree and turned her head towards me. I still remember the way I laughed."

Zhu Yunjing didn't answer the words, he didn't believe it at all, everyone in the palace knew that his father favored Concubine He more, nothing else, it was just because Concubine He was born beautiful, it was nothing more than a country and a city, it's a pity that she didn't give birth to a daughter Now, the only son, Zhu Yunxun, doesn't look like her. In the He family, He Huailing has some similarities with her.

It's just that such a face as beautiful as a fairy's looks on a general like He Huailing, it's tantamount to reckless waste, and it's a waste.

Emperor Zhaoyang withdrew his mind, and told Zhu Yunjing: "Since you are not particularly satisfied, then I will make the decision for you. When I turn around and discuss with the Queen Mother, I will make an imperial edict at the end of the month. You have something in your heart." Just a few."

"My son understands," Zhu Yunjing responded, "It's just that we're getting married now...can we wait until next year to get married?"

Emperor Zhaoyang was puzzled: "Don't you want to get married as soon as possible?"

"I just want to have more time to prepare, so as not to treat the princess badly."

"Okay, it's good that you have this kind of heart, then wait until next spring to get married." Although Emperor Zhaoyang was very anxious to embrace the emperor's grandson, the marriage of the crown prince is related to the face of the Tian family, and it really has to be taken care of slowly. .

Zhu Yunjing was thinking about how to successfully give birth to this evil seed in his stomach, and then give him an identity. Even if he hated this evil seed again, once it was born, he couldn't really be bullied, after all, it was from him It popped out of my stomach.

After talking with Emperor Zhaoyang, He Huailing left with Zhu Yunjing. Zhu Yunjing didn't want to talk to him, so he walked away, and He Huailing followed behind him not far or near.

When passing by the pomegranate garden, Wang Jiu sighed casually: "The pomegranates are all in bloom, it looks so festive."

Zhu Yunjing stopped and took a look. Large tracts of pomegranate flowers fluttered in the wind like red lanterns. It was really festive to watch.The founding queen liked pomegranate flowers. The largest garden in this other palace is the pomegranate garden, and there are pomegranate trees planted by the emperor himself. It's embarrassing.

He Huailing stepped forward, picked off the most brilliant flower on the branch, and handed it to Zhu Yunjing.

Wang Jiu: "..." After hesitating, he silently led all the palace people back ten paces away.

Zhu Yunjing raised her eyebrows: "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

Because of the story between the founding emperor and empress, giving pomegranate flowers in person in Dayan Dynasty was a very clear act of showing love. Zhu Yunjing felt that this Dingyuan Hou was crazy?

He Huailing lowered her eyes, chuckled, and withdrew her hand: "No, I just thought the flower was blooming brilliantly, so I folded it off."

Zhu Yunjing sneered: "It was originally fine, but Master Hou just wanted to break it off, so it would wither within half a day."

"The flowers are blooming and the flowers are blooming," He Huailing murmured in a low voice, shook his head, and looked up at Zhu Yunjing, "I haven't congratulated Your Highness yet, Your Highness is about to have a Crown Princess."

Zhu Yunjing nodded coldly: "He Huailing, this has nothing to do with you."

He Huailing sighed: "Why does Your Highness have to reject people thousands of miles away?"

"How are you doing?" Zhu Yunjing said coldly, "What happened that day was just an accident, Master Hou had better forget about it earlier."

"I know." The smile faded from He Huailing's eyes, "It was the minister who overstepped the limit. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunjing didn't bother to say any more, he was already tired after tossing around for so long, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He turned around and wanted to leave, but when he raised his foot, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked He Huailing: "I heard that Zheng Zheng Is it your order that Yushi publicly impeached Jiangnan governor and others?"

"Yes, this matter has been reported to His Majesty."

"What did you mean by mentioning Fang Chengpeng in front of Gu? Are you testing Gu? Are you suspicious of Gu?"

He Huailing looked at him with serious eyes: "Du Tingzhong's first memorial was stopped by someone, and something happened to him after that."

"So? Do you think it was done alone?"

"I don't know."

Zhu Yunjing sneered: "Okay, you're fine, Gu is underestimating you, if you can really bring this matter to Gu, go ahead and do it! Gu wants to see what you plan to do!"

He Huailing frowned, and was about to say something more, when Zhu Yunjing's body suddenly shook, and the next moment he closed his eyes and fell down.

Wang Jiu's exclamation sounded behind him. He Huailing subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch Zhu Yunjing. A faint ambergris came over him. He Huailing lowered his head and hugged the fainted person in his arms tightly. At that moment, my heartbeat suddenly reached my throat.
