Zhu Sijia was shocked: "Yuan Xi is her biological son, and he is also one of the only two men in Prince Yan's palace. Yuan Cun has been won over by His Majesty. Why is Aunt Yun dissatisfied when all this wealth has been poured out on her?"
Zhu Siying sighed: "That's why I'm surprised. Sister, don't be angry. That day, my father and my brother had a fierce quarrel, and my brother moved out of the palace."
"In a rage, my father announced in public that when Yuan Xi turns sixteen, he will ask Your Majesty to make him the Crown Prince of Yan."
"At that time, I paid special attention to Aunt Yun's expression. The smile on her face was more like a forced smile. I thought I was worrying too much, but I really couldn't worry about it, so I bribed her personal maid to pay more attention to me. she."
Aunt Yun was not from a good background.
Before she entered Prince Yan's Mansion, she was a singer in Prince Mu's Mansion. On the eve of King Mu's departure to Jiangdong to become a vassal, she attracted King Yan at the banquet with her singing voice like an oriole out of the valley, and was taken into the mansion as his concubine.
And the personal maid who is following her now is also recruited from within Prince Yan's palace, so she is naturally not loyal to her.
Zhu Siying: "In the end, I found out...finding her was not very good for Yuan Xi."
Zhu Sijia: "Is this still happening? It's true that Yuan Cun never told me about family affairs when he was on duty in the palace. Where did he move to?"
Zhu Siying stuck out her tongue: "Brother is afraid of being scolded by you for being ignorant, so he bought a small house with two entrances in Chongling Yi and only brought his personal servant to live there."
"I couldn't help but go and see it with him. The courtyard has a beautiful view, so he won't feel wronged."
There are currently six imperial mausoleums in Da Qin. The mausoleums near the imperial mausoleums are where high-ranking officials and wealthy people gather. Among them, Emperor Gaozu's Chongling City is the most prosperous and has the most stable public security.
Zhu Sijia smiled and said: "I don't care whether he is sensible or not. Yuan Cun is becoming more and more stable now, which makes me feel more at ease than staying in the academy. I will tell him to just let go and do whatever he wants."
"What I'm most worried about is his safety. Since he was appointed by His Majesty, how many pairs of eyes have been staring at his position? Once he loses the shelter of Prince Yan's Mansion, I'm afraid there will be people who can't wait to attack him."
Zhu Siying blurted out: "Sister, don't worry, don't the Ren family also live in Chongling City? My brother's courtyard is just across the street from the Ren family. He and Chiayi Bon are colleagues. If he is really in danger, the Ren family will never Stand back and watch.”
Zhu Sijia calmed down: "That's good, I feel more relieved. The matter between Aunt Yun and Yuan Xi must not be made public. Siying, you have done a good job."
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on her until the weird things about her are completely eliminated. Otherwise, you and your mother will be in danger as long as she is in the house."
The two sisters chatted until dawn again. Zhu Siying couldn't stay long, so she yawned and left the palace to go home.
Zhu Sijia just closed her eyes and lay down to rest. Less than two hours later, she was woken up by Xin'er's hands and feet:
"Jieyu, please get up and freshen up quickly. The Queen Mother is coming to Changle Palace!"
Unexpectedly, Queen Mother Zhang personally came to vent her anger on Zhang Wanyao's behalf so soon.
Zhu Sijia stood up quickly and finished packing and walked out of the bedroom. It was already past time. Queen Mother Zhang's face was darker than the clouds in the sky.
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Zhu Jieyu is so arrogant. She dares to show off to the Ai family by relying on His Majesty's sole favor. What time is it now? Do you usually serve His Majesty like this?"
Zhu Sijia knelt down and confessed: "I didn't know that the Queen Mother's visit to Changle Palace was not intentional. I hope the Queen Mother will atone for her sins."
Forgive me? When Empress Dowager Zhang came up, she deducted her monthly salary for three years.
Empress Dowager Zhang walked around Changle Palace, looking at everything from Zhu Sijia's food and clothing to her clothing and appearance.
Wherever she looked, she could pick out a hundred thousand dissatisfactions. Zhu Scarlett said nothing, bowed her head and followed behind her respectfully.
Perhaps because she had already told the truth, Empress Dowager Zhang herself felt her mouth was dry. Finally, she clarified today's purpose:
"I wish Jieyu, the throne of the Great Qin Dynasty will not be reserved for those who are envious of talents and talents. If you want to sit in that position, you should set an example and advise Your Majesty to be loyal to the public and restrain yourself."
"You are living in seclusion in the harem, and you can't hear the gossip of the previous dynasty. The Ai family only warns you, it's only three things. Our dynasty officials are by no means idle people, and we can't have a second Li Ji. Do you understand ?”
Today, the Central Plains is divided into three parts of the world, and literati and poets all blame Li Ji hundreds of years ago, calling her a witch of a generation in troubled times, and even the country fell apart for hundreds of years.
Empress Dowager Zhang was so bold in scolding people. She was ignorant after all. She did not hesitate to scold Zhu Sijia in a roundabout way and was a disaster for the country and the people, and she was not afraid of her words becoming a prophecy.
Isn't it because Yan Xiu has too little desire for other women? Why should she be blamed for this?
Is she not confident in her biological son, or is she, like those men, naturally hostile to beautiful women?
Zhu Sijia responded to her: "I understand, I will follow the Queen Mother's teachings."
Hongmei supported Queen Mother Zhang back to Zhangtai Palace.
Naturally, Zhu Sijia reported back to Yan Xiu word by word about being called a witch.
Yan Xiu was reviewing the memorial, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched: "Did the Queen Mother really say that?"
Hongmei didn't dare to look at her master's face: "My subordinates dare not commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."
How could a queen mother of a country use Li Ji to describe her concubine? Doesn't this mean that Sang scolded Huai and called him a foolish king?
This is not how you should curse.
Yan Xiu smiled angrily: "Go down."
That night, the news came out that Yang Bixue had been summoned by Yan Xiu to stay in Taiji Palace, causing turmoil in the harem again.
It was windy at night, and the north wind howled like a giant beast that devoured everything.
Zhu Sijia was wearing the thin pajamas that Zhu Ya had modified for her. Not only was it lighter, but it was also extremely close-fitting. It was better than a spring day in the palace, but she stood in front of the bedroom window, staring at the laurel tree as if she had lost something:
"Perhaps, Your Majesty has to really let them sleep with you this time."
What responded to her was the cold wind outside the window. Zhu Scarlett covered her mouth, sneezed lightly, raised her hand to close the window, and unexpectedly caught a pampered hand. The smoke-colored ring on her little finger was particularly special. Eye-catching.
"ah--"
Zhu Scarlett's own hand and scream were quickly covered in her mouth by this big hand.
"Tsk." Yan Xiu opened the window with his other hand and turned over, "Cicada, you actually dare to assassinate the emperor."
Even though she is a small person, she has a lot of strength to close the window.
Zhu Sijia was surprised and happy: "Your Majesty?"
Yan Xiu closed the window and looked at her clothes with a look of disgust on his face: "Wearing so little, are you sincere?"
Sincerity freezes his body, sincerely refuses to let him worry, sincerely confronts him.
Zhu Sijia said in an aggrieved tone: "I don't have my concubine. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I can just replace her."
Yan Xiu picked her up and walked to the bed: "Let's not talk about this. Tonight, let's be a cowardly king and an evil concubine."
Zhu Sijia's eyes widened: "Wait a minute! Isn't His Majesty going to favor Ambassador Yang in Taiji Palace tonight? Why did he show up at Changle Palace?"
She doesn't want to have her monthly salary deducted for the next thirty years.
