Deng Zhiqiu waved his hand and let the maid go.
When Zhu Ping came back, Deng Zhiqiu stepped forward and put his arms around his neck: "I don't want any official concubine's dress. I want to wear the queen's dress and phoenix crown."
Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment: "This won't work. This is a serious crime of transgression. It's not that I'm reluctant to do it for you, but I'm afraid of getting you into trouble."
Deng Zhiqiu pushed him, turned her back to him and wiped her tears: "Haha. When we were in bed, you gave me everything I wanted. It was really just to coax me into bed. Ever since we met, you have never fulfilled any of your promises. It’s my birthday in a few days, and I don’t want anything but this. Even if it’s just for one day. Can’t you just make me happy?”
Zhu Ming was anxious: "No, this is not a joke. You want gold, silver, jewelry, anything, but this queen's dress. You can't wear it randomly."
Deng Zhiqiu walked to the bed and lay down face inward without saying anything.
Zhu Ming could only say helplessly: "Then do it, but we can only close the door in the room and dress and play. We must not go out of the room."
Deng Zhiqiu sat up and hugged him: "Okay."
Zhu Xi invited several craftsmen, tailors, and embroiderers to start making the phoenix crown and back clothes in a remote corner of the house.
After hearing what the maids said, Wang Xiaoyue lowered her eyes, raised her lips slightly, and said in a helpless tone: "Oh... this woman really doesn't know how to live or die. Zhu Ping actually accompanies her to fool around. It's true that care leads to chaos, and lust is alluring."
The dress and phoenix crown were ready just in time for Deng Zhiqiu's birthday.
She and Zhu Xi drank a few more drinks, then got drunk, put on the queen's dress and phoenix crown and sat on the edge of the bed.
In order to make her happy, Zhu Xi even gave her a big gift.
As expected, Deng Zhiqiu clapped his hands and laughed.
Zhu Fang was also happy, and suddenly realized that by agreeing to Deng Zhiqiu's nonsense, he was actually making up for the shortcomings of his mother, Li Shufei, who could not be the queen.
If Concubine Li Shu was the queen, he and Zhu Fan would have to pretend to be estranged from Concubine Li for more than ten years.
Thinking about all the princes who were born as concubines, only Zhu Bai was the happiest, being able to see his mother in a legitimate way.
This is probably the reason why he harbors faint jealousy and resentment towards Zhu Bai.
-----
Lao Zhu received a letter of report saying that Deng Zhiqiu secretly made the queen's dress and wore it in the palace.
The report letter was also sent to Lao Zhu along with a corner of the dress that the maid secretly cut off.
Lao Zhu was furious and led Erhu and his pro-army captain to go and check.
Concubine Li Shu was extremely anxious, but she couldn't find someone to send a letter to Zhu Xi out of the palace, so she could only ask Queen Ma.
Empress Ma said coldly: "I advise you to calm down. Since the emperor doesn't like us interfering in government affairs, then you should leave it alone."
I have long had a problem with Zhu Xi. In the past, it was okay to dote on the side concubine and ignore the main concubine. As the vassal king that Lao Zhu and I valued most, Zhu Ping should have helped Zhu Biao guard the northwest. As a result, this bastard not only failed to fulfill his duty, but also allowed Zhu Bai to be captured by Wang Baobao.
I accompanied Lao Zhu through his narrow escape, and endured so much hardship and humiliation to be where I am today. What does Deng Zhiqiu mean by that little bitch? ! ! He even asked her to wear a queen's dress.
There is only one person in the world who is qualified to wear a queen's dress, and that's me! !
Isn't he standing up for his own mother, you, Concubine Li Shu?
Concubine Li Shu kowtowed and begged: "Mother, Your Highness the King of Qin must have been deceived and lost his mind, otherwise he would never have done such a bold thing."
Empress Ma raised her hand and said, "No need to say any more. The Emperor will make his own decision after the commander-in-chief of the army has found out."
When Zhu Xi heard that Erhu was coming, his heart beat wildly.
If it wasn't a big deal, Lao Zhu would never send Erhu away from him.
He hurriedly came out to greet the two tigers, and asked someone to release Wang Xiaoyue and bring him to the front yard to receive the order.
Erhu rushed to Zhu Chong and cupped his hands: "Your Highness makes atonement. The emperor's order is on you and you can't help yourself."
Zhu Ping: "Your Excellency suddenly came to visit, why?"
Erhu took out the imperial edict: "Your Highness will know after listening to the imperial edict."
After Zhu Xi knelt down, the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
How could Lao Zhu know what he and Deng Zhiqiu were doing in the boudoir?
Making something privately and then serving it is tantamount to conspiracy.
If convicted, Deng Zhiqiu would not be able to escape the death penalty.
Now I can only deny it to death.
He didn't believe that Erhu dared to search and could find it.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Xi stood up and said, "My lord, this is really unjust. Even if Deng Zhiqiu dares to do this, I would not dare."
Erhu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the truth can't be faked, and the fake can't be true. As long as I, Erhu, are here, no one in this world can frame His Highness. I was ordered to search the palace, and Your Highness has been offended."
Zhu Ping could only get out of the way.
Then Erhu led the people straight to the yard where Deng Zhiqiu lived.
Zhu Fang was extremely surprised: The Prince of Qin's palace is so big, and the two tigers have never been there, how do they know where Deng Zhiqiu lives?
It seems that someone came to check first.
Deng Zhiqiu had been escorted to the side and was kneeling, his face turned pale with fear.
Even if Zhu Xi felt distressed, he couldn't say anything at the moment.
Erhu went in and took a look around, and came out with a red Zhai coat with a gold cloud brocade pattern and a phoenix crown.
Zhu Fang was also surprised: he knew that this thing would bring disaster, so he took away all the dragons and phoenixes on it after that night, and then kept it in the warehouse and added several doors and locks. How could it appear in Deng Zhiqiu's wardrobe again, with the phoenix crown still there? was fixed.
Fortunately for Zhai Yi, the princess also has a phoenix crown.
But this phoenix crown is called "Nine Dragons and Four Phoenix Crowns" because it is decorated with nine jade-carved dragons and four phoenixes sewn with gold thread.
Only the Queen can use it, so there is no way to deny it.
Zhu Feng said loudly: "This is definitely framed by someone."
He knew the working style and procedures of the pro-military Duwei Mansion.
If he hadn't already questioned all the craftsmen and had solid evidence, Erhu would not have dared to go to Prince Qin's palace to search for anything.
But under the current situation, we can only delay it first and then think of a solution.
Deng Zhiqiu screamed at Wang Xiaoyue: "Did you, a bitch, ask someone to complain to the emperor?"
Zhu Xi became anxious and shouted at her: "Shut up!"
Isn't this just admitting the crime without asking for it? !
Wang Xiaoyue reminded Deng Zhiqiu in a gentle voice: "What you should be concerned about now is not this, but your own life."
Erhu took out the corner of his clothes and compared it with Zhai Yi's. After confirming that it was correct, he signaled to the captain of the army to put it away and escort Deng Zhiqiu away.
Zhu Ping stopped in front of Erhu: "My lord, can you allow me to respond to Tianxiang father's explanation with you?"
Erhu was a little embarrassed: "According to the rules, His Highness cannot leave the domain without the Emperor's order."
Lao Zhu only said that he would take Deng Zhiqiu back to the sky, but did not say that he would take Zhu Ping back.
Zhu Xi said: "If you make a phoenix robe and crown privately, wouldn't I also be a sinner? It is appropriate for you to escort me back to the capital."
Erhu thought for a while and sighed: "This is the only way, then the minister will be offended."
