Chapter 104: Cold lips and teeth

The time for wealth seems to be here again. This year, people will be sent to pay homage to all over the country. The officials in Beijing are not rich, and filial piety is the trend in this place.

It’s not that Zhen'er didn’t see it, but it was useless to say it. Now the emperor can tolerate everything he likes. Lu Gao offended not only the officials of the capital, but also many people who were resentful to him among the civil and military officials of the court.

"It's useless." Zhu Ji said, "I have advised him too. If the emperor doesn't say anything, I'm afraid I'm even more reluctant to say it. The emperor may think that he is better than us."

"The court has started to be in chaos in just a few years..." Zhen'er said.

"You can't interfere in politics..." Zhu Ji said, "We can't interfere in this matter... It's a clean thing to see and really can't stand it. It's better to avoid the limelight. Maybe the two tigers fight each other... Let's just wait and see... I want to take a while off, and I hope you will give it to me... I'm afraid that I will get into trouble if I stay here."

"It's good that you're leaving, but you just have to do something for me... I want to leave too, but who else can I ask to approve the leave?" Zhen'er said.

"Your Majesty, why not take the prince back, read, write... No one can stop you from doing anything you want." Zhu Ji said, "I'm afraid there will be more trouble here. Menda supports Lu Gao, and now the emperor trusts him more."

Is this a escaping? There are three types of officials, and this is also one of them. Whoever is not afraid of death is afraid of death is not clear. But Zhu Ji didn't understand that the prince's life in the palace was not easy, but avoiding this time is a good thing for the prince. The prince can't stay here anymore. Although he was free to rely on Zhu Ji's side, it would not be safe now.

The prince refused to return to the Eastern Palace and insisted on staying. No matter how Zhen'er persuaded him, it was useless.

"You don't have that ability!" Zhen'er was really angry, "Since you call me master, you have to be obedient. When did the master harm you? When I arrived in the palace, I am still your sister Zhen'er. I can't stand it anymore. You are in the way here. If you make Lu Qianhu unhappy, I'm afraid it will implicate Zhu Ji..."

"I am the prince..." Jianshen said.

"So what about the prince? They are not even afraid of the emperor. Why bother with you, the prince? What's more, who is Lu Gao? Will he not know what you are looking for?" Zhen'er said.

"Will the father be afraid of him..." Seeing Shen panic when he thought of this, his father's life experience was a mystery. Will Lu Gao have mastered these... So the father pretended not to see anything.

"Some things cannot be said. This is the decency of your Zhu family and the peace of the Ming Dynasty. I think the emperor should understand, don't worry... The emperor is not simple. Since the empress dowager trusts him, you can rest assured to the prince..."

Jianshen trusted the woman around him very much, and she was ready.

Wangui also came back with Wanxi, which made the old father at least feel relieved when he looked at his brother. This time his father also brought him a new married woman.

"A Xi, my sister is going to go to the palace to accompany the prince this time. You have to serve your father well and never cause trouble again. Especially for what Lu Gao does, you must not learn, so as not to implicate your father..."

"Why do you want to enter the palace?" Wanxi exclaimed, "Sister, you are stupid. You can do anything outside... Now you tell my family not to accept those filial piety. Lu Qianhu has only been a few years old, and the family has more money than our Wanjia..."

"I have taken a lot of money, you should have enough money, but you just take less money. Some unintelligent and unconscienced money will be in trouble if you take it. Haven't you seen Shi Heng's family be confiscated? Shi Heng and Shi Biao died. You are so bold. If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't care..."

Wan Gui is a sensible person: "Zhen'er said, Ah Xi, you have to listen. Dad is a person who has experienced it. Your sister is helpless when entering the palace. Now Lu Gao of the Funeral Department has the final say, no one dares to say more..."

"Whoever the emperor likes can summon the wind and rain, right?" Wanxi was so clear that he understood what was going on.

"Since you know, why ask more questions?" Zhen'er said, "Did your father know that the fewer people know about Zhen'er's affairs, the better. Now the wealth of the Wan family is connected with the fate of the Jinyiwei, and my younger brother is also working there. Just try not to participate in some things..."

"Zheng'er, I know. I won't let her know that woman. Ah Xi, please be careful too. Don't call your sister or call her elder brother when you look at Zhen'er men's clothing. The servants hear it, it's not good."

"Yes..." Wanxi said, "This father is biased..."

The prince of the Eastern Palace came back, and Concubine Zhou was the first to arrive early in the morning.

"Son," she stumbled, "How are you outside?"

"Mom, I've only been out for a month, what's wrong?"

"The weather changed in more than ten days. I'm so anxious. Your father said you're fine, so I'll feel relieved. Are you okay outside?" said Concubine Zhou. "That Concubine Wan was so crazy this time. She actually colluded with Shi Heng. But the emperor was disliked Shi Heng. Look at her IQ..."

"Zhen'er," Concubine Zhou didn't dare to offend the nanny, "I also know that you are good to the prince. Actually, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a situation..."

Zhen'er was a little proud, but she seemed not to be herself in the end. Concubine Zhou added: "That's going to have a good life... After all, I am the prince's mother, and you are just a slave."

"Empress, it's better to be careful in this palace! The prince can't worry anymore. Without a slave like me, the empress is just like them... You must know that it's not easy to stay in this palace." Zhen'er said.

Seeing his mother and Zhen'er overwhelmed him, he quickly said, "Zheng'er, there is nothing to do with you here, go down."

Zhen'er has gone down.

Concubine Zhou's face looked ugly: "Isn't it just a girl? I really don't know myself if I know some kung fu..."

"Mother, why are you so angry? I rely on Zhen'er to protect her outside. She is nothing, she just has a bigger temper..." Jianshen said, "At that time, she also helped you... Our shop sells your handicrafts..."

"I remember that back then, it was so hard that the sisters got along well. Now Wan Qian'er often jokes about me. She is now a joke and is standing in the wrong team... Fortunately, I didn't ask anyone..."

"Mother, I don't think Niangniang is malicious either. In fact, my second brother is more suitable than me..."

"What nonsense?" Concubine Zhou was angry, "Are we doing something wrong? You are the eldest son of the emperor, you are not blind and stupid, why should you let it go? Only when you are the emperor can your mother become the queen, the most noble woman in the Ming Dynasty... In the palace, for the rest of your life, the women in this palace are not free, how can you know my mother's pain, we are all for a man..."

"Mother, I wish I had only one woman in my life...

"What are you talking about?" Concubine Zhou suddenly glared out, "How can the royal family be so thin..."

I felt so painful when I came back, and I was so tired of seeing it: "Mother, I'm going to the study... I'll pay my respects to you..."

It's great to leave, Zhen'er sighed, and she watched the prince go to the study.

"Aunt Zhen'er, the emperor proclaims you..." The little eunuch next to the emperor came.
