Chapter 257: Don't want to let

It was just the first month of the year, and the palace was full of joy, and the empress dowager invited a troupe to perform. It was very lively. Zhen'er would come over to watch a few times when she was free. Fei Bai was even a drama fan and would come every day. Whenever she saw Fei Bai's children, Zhen'er felt sour. The child was already talking very casually and spoke clearly, unlike the emperor who kept stuttering when he was nervous. The palace maid and eunuch around Fei Bai seemed to treat herself as a ghost, and the child had only seen it from afar, Fei Bai didn't let him get close to him. The emperor was busy every day, but he didn't go to other concubines to rest. He always liked to call Zhen'er to serve in the Ganqing Palace.

"Isn't this woman back?" said Empress Dowager Zhou, "She can bear to give up the status of the imperial concubine. It's strange. Why is she so idle recently? She has never seen her come when the show started last year." However, Empress Dowager Zhou was not satisfied with her other daughter-in-law, Concubine Bai, and she is still loyal and honest. Zhen'er has a good look at people. This Empress Wang is quite fair in handling internal affairs, but she has never seen the emperor get close to her. In fact, except for Concubine Wan, the emperor is not close to anyone in the palace, and now it is even more amazing.

"Mother...Mother... Many places were hit by disasters in the first month of last year. My sister was not in the capital for those days," Queen Wang knew the most, "This year's scenery is still good, and the most difficult days in Shandong and Henan have passed, and finally we have reached a good harvest. The world is peaceful, and the emperor said he wants to come and accompany you."

"Although it's so peaceful, the emperor is still so busy every day, forget it..." said Empress Dowager Zhou, "You have to hurry up."

"Mother, I'm not healthy. The emperor also came to Kunning Palace the day before yesterday. But I asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said I don't have much hope. In fact, Sister Wan is the same. She has not been well prepared since she was overly sad last time..."

"What about those people in the harem? You are the queen and send more sensible girls to the emperor. Isn't it difficult? Didn't you just send a group of girls before the New Year? Have you all been resettled?" said Empress Dowager Zhou.

"I have given a few titles, but the emperor has not seen any of them. I have already stared at a few clever ones."

"You don't know about Concubine Bai Xian's ambition. You should find some trustworthy daughters among those people to cultivate them well. In the future, the end of Emperor Xuan and Empress Hu. Empress Sun had a good job at that time and could not give birth to her. She found a son of a palace maid to be the legitimate son. Now I heard that... there are also pregnant women in our palace..."

"My mother, where did you hear it?" said Queen Wang, "Why didn't I hear it? The emperor only has Wan Zhen'er in his heart. How could he be with the palace maids?"

"Then aren't you afraid of Concubine Bai?" said Empress Dowager Zhou, "I really don't think you will suffer if you are a good boy..."

"I don't care about my life. I've picked up my life. When my stepmother abused me... I've come alive... I'm soaked in a honeypot every day, and I'm already satisfied. Even if I'm abolished in the future, I won't be left on the streets. As long as I'm asked to accompany the Queen Mother, I'll be satisfied."

Wang Zhongying's mouth was indeed sweet... Empress Dowager Zhou smiled: "Actually, I am not demanding anything. If Wan Zhen'er gave the Ai family some face, the Ai family would not be in trouble with her. After all, the late emperor had already been buried, and Queen Qian had left. What else can I do... This palace is in order, and the Ai family can't let this woman suppress me." Wang Zhongying nodded: "Let me talk to my sister."

"My wife Zhen'er greets her mother and queen." Wan Zhen'er didn't know when she arrived. She never called herself a wife, and it's not her fault. She was about the same age as Queen Mother Zhou, and she stayed in the palace together. There was a rumbling gong, and it seemed that a new show was about to start.

"Zhen'er, the Ai family is not a stingy person. These days, I have figured it out that as long as you treat the emperor sincerely, I will not be skeptical about anything with you. Although your surname is Wan, it is not that fox charm. I shouldn't have made any mistakes at all. In fact, I should understand the reason why Empress Dowager Sun entrusted the emperor to you for care. Only you can protect him, and it is normal for him to like you."

"The best thing the Empress Dowager can think so much... Zhen'er has rules for doing things. If you don't believe the Empress Dowager, you can ask a few adults. Zhen'er is not a woman who has never seen the world." Wan Zhen'er said.

Empress Dowager Zhou could not resist her son and gave in. Unexpectedly, Wan Zhen'er was still so tough, but she couldn't help but give herself face, so she smiled backwards: "The harem is safe, the Ai family will feel at ease. The emperor still wants you to take more care of yourself. Isn't it the most reassuring thing for you?"

"My mother... I just think that the mother should take into account the face of the late emperor, and the late emperor's mother, Empress Sun, will be at ease. Do you think that separation of flesh and blood is a merit? The emperor's fate is not short of offspring... I have asked the uncle of Dajue Temple, and the queen should be at ease."

Empress Dowager Zhou’s brother was the host of Dajue Temple. What was this? Empress Dowager Zhou felt uncomfortable and had nothing to say to him. She snorted and said, “Watch the show.”

Zhen'er suddenly felt very comfortable, and it was not so eye-catching when she saw the child who was hugging her.

"Master," a little eunuch ran in, "The emperor urgently summoned you to Donghuamen and asked you to prepare men's clothes for accompanying you."

Why... This is often important. As the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is about to pass, the Xiyuan has already been decorated with lights. How can I go to Donghuamen? I still wear men's clothing. The emperor will not easily propose to accompany him as an Jinyiwei. If there is an urgent matter, it is urgent. Seeing that it is getting dark, why do you still run out of the palace? Zhen'er didn't have time to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager and wanted to rush back to Zhaode Palace. He walked fast along the way, and how could the maids and eunuchs who accompanied him keep up. As soon as he stepped out of the theater, he always felt something was wrong.

"Stop following, go back to watch the show..." Zhen'er turned around and said. The leading eunuch quickly bent down and asked, "Empress, this..."

"No need for you, it's probably an errand..." Zhen'er said, "Just just pretend that I have never left the theater and put down the curtain in front of my seat."

The eunuchs and maids were very sensible, so they retreated. Zhen'er went to the Qianqing Palace, changed her clothes, and rushed to Donghuamen. Reading.com

The emperor in front of the door had already been waiting for her, but he was wearing casual clothes and seemed to want to leave the palace in vain. He was walking back and forth there.

"Zheng'er...you're here, Sun Zhi...my uncle is critically ill..."

Sun Chuan has been living at home in the first year of Chenghua. He is nearly eighty years old. He is the brother of Empress Dowager Sun. Empress Dowager Sun is against Zhen'er... At that time, his Sun family was also a hero who could restore the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty.

"Why don't you go to the Sun family with pride? He is a hero."

"Etiquette... is another cumbersome etiquette... Go faster this way..." Zhu Jianshen suddenly said: "This is strange, I asked you to go with you. The old man has always been in good health."

That's right, Sun Zhibaodao is not old and is still very energetic a while ago. How could he get an acute illness?

It was still cold, so I rode my horse and whipped it to Sun's manor. Sun Chu did not live in the city. He lived in a manor near the suburbs of the capital. At this time, the city gate was closed, and only the only ones who could enter and exit the capital were the Jinyiwei, who was not afraid of the heavens and earth, and were not afraid of the emperor's mission.

"The old general has been in good health a few days ago, how could he be like this?" Zhen'er said: "If you are young, you should send someone to check."

"Actually, I'm also surprised. I met Zhu Ji today. He said he has been following up on this matter. Later, we can see him in the Sun Mansion."

The thick city gate was opened for them, and the bright moon shone on the ground. It was clear that the road was not desolate outside the city, because it was the capital, trees, villages, and shops that were lighted... It didn't seem deserted. But people outside the city wanted to come in. When the city gate was opened, the few people sitting outside the city gate stood up.

"Let us in... It's not that the court opened a porridge factory in Dongcheng," they surrounded them, "If you stay outside the city, you will starve to death..."

"Go back..." the soldier guarding the gate shouted, "Don't block the upper man from handling the case..."

"Who said that the disaster victims in the capital have been resettled?" Zhen'er said, "It seems that there are people under the emperor's feet who are dereliction of duty."

"There are limited houses in the city, and those old people... all said that it is appropriate to place them in the suburbs," Zhu Jianshen said. "At worst, let them open more porridge factories."

"Sir... I'm sorry," I don't know which beggar pushed everyone away and stood in front of their horses. "There are not many places outside the city that can shelter from wind and rain. The Dragon King Temple is full of people... If you don't starve to death, you will be frozen to death..."

"Go away..." Cao Duoer, who was accompanying him, raised his whip, "Go quickly, go find the local official if you have anything to do... We are going to handle the case."

Those people scattered... although they were still muttering.

"Duoer, you are so majestic..." Zhen'er said.

Cao Duoer smiled: "Mr. Wan loves to joke. These people are not fierce, but they don't know how to live or die."

The Sun family lives not far away. However, these victims gathered around the Sun family, who live in simple straw sheds...

It was the time to serve the porridge. Several families were busy at the door.

"Have your master recovered from illness? We'll visit him specially." Cao Duoer said, "Go and report it quickly, saying that Cao Duoer and others came to visit him."

A family member took the famous post and looked around, and the victims who were sitting and drinking porridge while drinking porridge while standing, Zhu Jianshen asked, "Your family is..."

"The old man is sick, so he should do more good deeds..." said a family member who was giving porridge. "It's been ten days. The more good deeds you do, the worse the disease will be. It shouldn't be."

After inquiring, I found out that the old grandson, Sun, had a cold of wind and cold ten days ago. I thought it would be fine if I rested for a while, but I didn't know that my condition had worsened and I still remained unconscious.
