Qian Niang and others all bowed to Queen Mother Sun, the mother-in-law. The smile on Queen Mother Sun's face became even stronger, and she was also extremely happy for Naren, whom she met for the first time...
"Let Aijia take a good look at you. Haha, you are such a beautiful person. Even your hair is like gold. It's so shiny. It's so beautiful." Empress Dowager Sun was quite curious about Naren's exotic style. However,
He didn't feel unhappy because of this, but he praised Naren so much that her fair face was filled with red clouds.
Looking at the tall, slender and beautiful Naren, Queen Mother Sun couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart. "Speaking of which, the Ai family has to thank you properly. If the emperor didn't have your help,
, I don’t know when I will be able to return to the Ming Dynasty safely.”
"Mother-in-law, don't say that. He is my man, and he should do these things." Naren raised her head and glanced at Zhu Qizhen, who was staring at her with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a little hot on her pretty face.
But he still mustered up the courage to speak.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun nodded frequently and said hello repeatedly. "It is his luck that the emperor has a concubine like you. Emperor, treat her well, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, the child will definitely not betray the four of them." Zhu Qizhen cleared his throat and stood up, his expression extremely serious and respectful. After hearing this, Queen Mother Sun was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on
He looked at Wan Zhen'er who timidly lowered his head and clutched the hem of his clothes, as if he didn't know where to hide it. He couldn't help but smile and glared at Zhu Qizhen, and then smiled at Wan Zhen'er.
He waved. "Zhen'er, what's wrong? You are close to the Ai family. Why are you acting like this today? Come here quickly and let the Ai family take a good look."
"My slave, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother..." Wan Zhen'er bit her red lips and walked to the Queen Mother Sun, bowing down and saying.
"Haha, little girl, you have been working really hard these days. Look, you have already lost weight." Empress Dowager Sun helped Wan Zhen'er up with pity and looked at this charming and intelligent person.
, couldn’t help but sigh.
Wan Zhen'er raised her head and saw the gaze cast by Zhu Qizhen. She thought of what Zhu Qizhen said to her outside the capital city today and when he held her hand.
, the warmth that was conveyed made me feel sweet in my heart, "Replying to your Majesty is what a slave should do. It is a slave's blessing to be able to serve His Majesty."
"Zhen'er, the Ai family did not misjudge you."
"Emperor, it's very windy and cold outside right now. Let them stay in Renji Palace tonight. They will move out tomorrow so that I can see my good grandchildren more. Okay?" A reunion.
After the intimacy, when she saw that Qian Niang and others were extremely tired from the long hours of driving and horseback riding, Queen Mother Sun said very considerately, "I still have something to say to you."
"I'll listen to my mother. Just stay at Renjie Palace today. When the weather gets better tomorrow, I can go to Xiyuan to stay." Zhu Qizhen chuckled and nodded. He turned his head and looked towards the palace.
Reluctantly, Qian Niang and others gave some instructions.
In a short time, someone came to take the four and three princes to other halls of Renjie Palace to rest. Soon, except for the personal female officer beside the Queen Mother, everyone else in the room had already retreated.
Outside the palace.
The mother and son were sitting on the warm couch, on the table next to them. The light on the candlestick stood upright, quietly exuding a warm brilliance. ^//^
Looking at the son sitting in front of her, who was still upright and majestic, the doting look in Empress Dowager Sun's eyes became even deeper. "In the past few days, things have finally become peaceful in Beijing. In the past few days, my mother's heart has been
Bian is also very worried. Your uncle said that you only have less than two hours of rest every day, which is really hard on you."
Zhu Qizhen's heart warmed up, and he laughed and said: "Don't worry, mother. The child is young, so it's okay to sleep less. Although these days have been a bit busy, the Ming Dynasty's ruling and opposition parties have finally been able to restore calm. Finally, there is no
If something goes wrong, this is more important than anything else."
"Look what you said, what does it mean to be young? It doesn't matter if you sleep less." Empress Dowager Sun glared at Zhu Qizhen angrily. "You are not only the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but also my son. Although state affairs are the most important thing,
But there is something wrong with your body and bones, what will you do as a mother?"
Zhu Qizhen heard the annoyance in Queen Mother Sun's heart, and quickly smiled and said: "Mom, if the child knows this, he will never be so reckless again in the future. Just don't be angry."
"You, don't do one thing in front of your face and another behind your back. If you let me hear someone say that you don't even pay attention to your own body for the sake of national affairs, my mother will be really angry." Seeing Zhu Qizhen's honest face,
With such a shameful face, Queen Mother Sun's anger turned into helplessness. "You have suffered a lot in the past two years, but you are indeed much more mature and decisive than before.
Come, but I can’t understand it.”
"Mother..." After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen smacked his mouth and was about to explain, but Empress Dowager Sun smiled and shook her head. "You don't need to explain. How can I not know your thoughts? You are the one
Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although my mother doesn’t quite understand your thoughts, she also knows that what my son wants to do must be something big. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in the Xuan Mansion, planning to pacify my century-old enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
You would not clearly have an advantage, but then abandon it and only lead a small number of troops back to the capital to regain the throne..."
"...In the past, I felt that you were like your father and grandfather. You were kind-hearted, seldom argued with others, and were too tolerant to your subordinates. Although this is a good thing, some people..." mentioned
When this happened, Queen Mother Sun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking of Zhu Qizhen's way of dealing with people in the past.
Even the words of my mother-in-law are not as effective as those of the eunuch named Wang Zhen. This can not but be said to be a kind of sadness. As the mother of a son, she can only watch her son let that treacherous eunuch...
He was so deceived that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and eventually fell into the hands of the thief.
"Mom, please don't be sad. Those are all things in the past. Now the child is no longer the young emperor who is ignorant of worldly affairs and listens to everything others say." Zhu Qizhen saw the redness in the eyes of the Queen Mother Sun.
Her heart softened, she held Queen Mother Sun's hand and said firmly: "Now that the child has grown up, he knows what is good and what is bad, and also understands who is good to me. Please rest assured, mother, the child will never
Doing something out of character like that."
Empress Dowager Sun smiled, raised her other hand, gently stroked Zhu Qizhen's hard-lined face, and said happily: "Now, although your heart is still the same, but in your behavior, I feel that you are more
Like your great-grandfather, this is the most gratifying place for my mother."
"By the way, I heard that Shi Heng and other ministers were detained in the palace by you to think about their mistakes?"
When the Empress Dowager Sun asked about this matter, Zhu Qizhen did not hide it. He told the Empress Dowager Sun all the reasons and ins and outs of the matter. Similarly, he also told the Empress Dowager Sun some of his thoughts. Finally, Zhu Qi
Zhenpo said helplessly: "...these ministers are full of intrigues. I am afraid that half of their thoughts will be used to serve the court and the country of the Ming Dynasty. It is already an extravagant hope."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Queen Mother Sun gritted her teeth with hatred. "These ministers are really lucky that my son's temperament has changed now, otherwise... Haha, okay, my son must not forget, no matter what you do
, the queen mother, your grandpa, and your uncles will all stand by your side, do you understand?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother. I understand," Zhu Qizhen let out a long breath and nodded vigorously. No matter what, his mother could understand what he was doing and could make his mother clan stand on his side. This is a great blessing.
It was a great help to myself.
"By the way, let's talk about my good grandchildren. Originally, my mother had no heirs, and you were not in the capital at that time, so my mother had no choice but to let Jian Shen become the prince...
..." Having said this, Queen Mother Sun turned her face and looked at Zhu Qizhen.
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen, who knew that his mother was worried about the estrangement between him and him because of this incident, couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, I think the child is the oldest, and she is kind-hearted and generous.
, Moreover, after being with the child for more than a year, the child looks at his character and really feels that you have chosen the right person, mother."
"If you think so, my mother will be more relieved." Looking at Zhu Qizhen's face that was not unhappy at all, and his frank words, Queen Mother Sun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "But, Qian Niang
She is your queen, and now she has given birth to a legitimate prince."
"Mom, don't worry. Qian Niang understands the child's thoughts. What's more, the reason why Qi Yu lost his moral character and lost his heart was precisely because of his desire to destroy others. It can be seen that he has deep blessings. What's more, he is the eldest son of the child.
As the prince, all the ministers have agreed, so there is no need for further trouble." Zhu Qizhen shook his head and explained patiently.
This is the truth. In fact, when Zhu Qizhen was first captured, Queen Mother Sun decisively appointed Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince. At that time, many ministers were quite resentful and believed that such a young prince was not enough to deal with the crisis of the Ming Dynasty. However,
Later, after Zhu Qiyu received the edict from Zhu Qizhen and became the new Emperor of Tomorrow, the ministers turned their attention to how to surround and unite with the new Emperor of Tomorrow to fight against this terrible crisis.
.
After the crisis was over, Zhu Qiyu began to plan to make his son the new prince. His previous actions had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. In addition, the Sun family
Support at the back.
Therefore, the battle for the crown prince became a dispute between the emperor and his ministers, and the ministers who were originally prejudiced against the young prince Zhu Jianshen also worked together to protect Zhu Jianshen's crown prince and stood on Zhu Jianshen's side.
.
As a result, Zhu Jianshen's position as prince has become the future successor of the Ming Empire in the minds of the ministers, or in their subconscious. Moreover, although Zhu Jianshen is young now, his character is quite calm.
, he is also very organized when doing things, which makes Zhu Qizhen appreciate this biological son who is not his biological son even more.
Therefore, from the beginning, Zhu Qizhen never thought of waiting for Qian Niang to give birth to a child, then depose Zhu Jianshen and then establish a new crown prince. The important thing is that there is no need for this at all. They are all of their own blood.
Zhu Qizhen did not want his children to be separated because of the will of their elders.
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's explanation, Queen Mother Sun nodded in agreement, took the tea from the confidant female official and moistened her throat.
