Zhu Yuanzhang sat for a while and turned off the kerosene lamp. He couldn't approve the discount no matter what.
Get up and go to the harem.
Seeing that the light in Xianning Palace was not extinguished, Zhu Yuanzhang's breath stagnated.
Although Empress Ma scolded Princess Anqing so much during the day, they were mother and daughter after all.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so naturally we have endless things to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and stood outside Xianning Palace for a while, then mustered up the courage to open the door and enter.
"Daddy!"
Zhu Qing'er's eyes lit up and she rushed over.
Although Zhu Qing'er is almost thirty, she still behaves like a little girl.
It is enough to know how much Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his daughter before getting married.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Zhu Qing'er and forced himself to laugh twice.
Queen Ma sat up. When she saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she realized something was wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Qing'er on the back,
smiled and said,
"Qing'er, it's so late and you're still not sleeping."
Zhu Qing'er hummed like a puppy,
"Dad, I won't sleep and will leave directly tomorrow morning.
Mom is right, I am too ignorant about this matter.
Ouyang Lun is very kind to me, and I like him too. I shouldn't let him be so embarrassed.
Don't worry, Dad, Qing'er will never make such a mistake again!
I still have to take care of my father's face, otherwise others will think that the girl from Lao Zhu's family is ignorant! "
Seeing Zhu Qing'er's bright eyes looking at him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a pain in his heart.
Embarrassed,
"Well, Qing'er,
If it doesn't work, let's think about it,
You can leave two days later.
Even if you go back to worship our ancestors, you won’t have to rush back..."
Queen Ma glanced deeply at Zhu Yuanzhang, but didn't say anything.
Zhu Qing'er was a little dazed,
Although my father didn't say anything harsh this morning, his attitude was the same as my mother's.
I thought about returning to my husband's house quickly to see if I could catch up with the ancestor worshipers.
But why did dad's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees?
Zhu Qing'er chatted with Queen Ma all night and realized her mistake. She thought about getting up early and going home early tomorrow morning.
This time she was confused again.
Zhu Qing'er asked with a somewhat puzzled tone,
“Dad, do you mean to let me stay in the capital for a little longer?
But where my husband is..."
Zhu Yuanzhang forced himself to laugh twice.
He opened his mouth and said,
"We haven't seen him for a long time. We thought, after the ancestor worship is over,
Let him come to the capital and talk to us. "
Zhu Qing'er didn't have much money. When her father said this, her face lit up with joy.
He said happily,
“Dad, really?!
Very good! I can spend more time with my father and mother in Beijing! "
Seeing Zhu Qing'er's happy look, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to look directly at her and moved his eyes to the other side.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was tortured to the extreme.
This matter is too difficult to handle!
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Qinger,
said,
"Qing'er, it's getting late, go to bed quickly.
Since your father has told you to stay in Beijing for a while longer, there is no need to stay up late if you can't afford to leave early anyway. "
Zhu Qing'er nodded heavily,
said happily,
"I know! Mother!"
.......
Early next morning
Zhu Qing'er was too excited last night and went to bed very late, so Zhu Yuanzhang let her fall asleep first without waking her up.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were walking in the apricot garden,
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang,
asked,
"Chongba, what's going on?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, with huge dark circles under his eyes.
said,
"Sister, Ouyang Lun was caught smuggling tea horses by Yunxi."
Queen Ma's eyelids jumped wildly when she heard this.
murmured,
"I think Ouyang Lun is a good boy. How could this happen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,
"Then maybe we made a mistake."
Ouyang Lun, a common scholar, was extremely pleasing to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
When an old couple has known each other for a lifetime, it is inevitable that there will be times when they have bad opinions, but it does not make sense that they can both look at each other with bad eyesight.
Queen Ma was silent,
Empress Ma naturally understands the regulations of the Ming Dynasty Law. If Ouyang Lun takes the path of the Three Laws Division, Ouyang Lun will only die.
Then Qing'er will have to remain a widow.
Moreover, this matter was rushed too soon. It broke out just when Qing'er came to Beijing. The front foot beat the back foot, forcing Lao Zhu to become a different person inside and outside.
Queen Ma was thoughtful, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to understand why Ouyang Lun was like this.
However, after thinking about it, Queen Ma sighed again.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma looking like this, he
I couldn't help but ask,
"Sister, I just don't understand. Our son-in-law has everything he wants, and he doesn't look like a greedy person.
How could such a big disaster happen? "
Queen Ma sighed,
"The gap between Qing'er and Ouyang Lun is too big.
Ouyang Lun is a kid who wants to be strong and wants to prove himself, so he goes astray. "
Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about it in this direction.
But when he heard Queen Ma's words, the more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more sense it made.
In the marriage between Ouyang Lun and Zhu Qinger, Ouyang Lun was a poor boy with nothing.
Taking off the title of Jinshi means nothing, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of Jinshi.
It can be seen from Zhu Qing'er's daily performance that Zhu Qing'er is completely in a strong position, but Zhu Qing'er did not mean it.
Ouyang Lun is a man after all. There is nothing visible on his face, and he must be feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
As time went by, it got further and further down the road, and we got to where we are today.
Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot and looked at Queen Ma with complicated eyes.
sighed,
"Sister, we should have listened to you then and shouldn't have let these two children get together."
Queen Ma shook her head, what's the use of talking about it now?
Although Empress Ma liked Ouyang Lun, she was firmly opposed to Ouyang Lun and Zhu Qing'er being together.
It’s not that Ouyang Lun is not worthy of Zhu Qinger,
It's just that I want to be a good match.
Being well-matched is definitely not a remnant of feudalism. On the contrary, this idea contains the great wisdom of the ancients.
The two of them have similar backgrounds and similar outlook on life.
Only in this way can the relationship between husband and wife be harmonious, without one party overpowering the other.
And Ouyang Lun and Zhu Qinger,
A mud-legged man, a princess,
Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to deliberately eliminate these differences,
For example, every year Zhu Qing'er is required to pay New Year's greetings at her husband's house before going to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings.
But the innate differences cannot be eliminated by Zhu Yuanzhang in one or two sentences.
What does Zhu Qing'er eat on weekdays and who does she see?
What does Ouyang Lun eat on weekdays, and who does he see?
Completely two worlds!
If things go on like this, the gap between the two will only become wider and wider.
Because families are so different,
There is no way to understand what the other person said or did.
Ouyang Lun has been in a weak position for a long time, so how can he not be extreme in his thoughts?
Empress Ma had this in mind at the time and firmly opposed their marriage.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of guilt, and his heart was more inclined to keep Ouyang Lun.
