"It's just that His Majesty is too cruel. Everyone in the palace thinks that you, Jieyu, are his special case. I didn't expect that your birthday is coming, and he can be so ruthless in grounding you. It's really... um... um."
Before Du Xian finished speaking, Yu Xin reached out and covered his mouth.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable. No one has the qualifications to be equal to the emperor, let alone the woman who is the emperor.
If there is such a thing that seems to sow discord, it is enough for each other to understand each other tacitly, and there is no need to say it outright.
Yu Xin asked Zhu Sijia: "If we can enter Changle Palace today, we must be able to enter on Jieyu's birthday as well. If Jieyu doesn't mind us being noisy, how about we also come to accompany you on your birthday?"
Changle Palace was deserted, and today they came together to visit her to gain some popularity. How could Zhu Sijia think they were noisy?
Zhu Sijia: "If you are willing to come as a guest, I will definitely welcome you. Changle Palace has a lot of weird and delicious food."
Although this birthday fell during her confinement period, Zhu Sijia didn't feel regretful when she thought about having someone by her side to accompany her.
Several people stayed in Changle Palace until they had dinner before leaving.
The news that Yu Xin and others broke into Changle Palace to play with Zhu Sijia reached Yan Xiu's ears.
A few of them were already on good terms with Zhu Sijia and dared to use the omissions in his words to trick the Imperial Army into entering Changle Palace. What about those who were against her, such as Zhang Wanyao? Would they take advantage of this loophole and enter Changle Palace to ridicule her?
He was not blind to what was going on outside the window. Once Zhu Sijia fell out of favor, people in the palace had different opinions. There were many people who wanted to use this to make her worse. If they all flocked to Changle Palace...
Yan Xiu called Hu Shunhai: "I have given you an oral order that no one is allowed to visit Jieyu in Changle Palace during the period of confinement. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished with thirty canes."
Just as Hu Shunhai left, Queen Mother Zhang took Zhang Wanyao into the Tai Chi Palace.
After the Empress Dowager Zhang exchanged a few words of greetings, she said as if nothing had happened: "Since Zhu Jieyu made a mistake and offended His Majesty, the Aijia will take back the phoenix seal in her hand. The Aijia has already said that she did not learn the rules well enough, and one day she will inevitably It will make you unhappy."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to abolish her right to co-manage the Sixth Palace."
On the way to Tai Chi Palace, she was determined to win. Zhu Sijia dared to use the Laba Banquet to get rid of her people last year. She has not yet settled this account with Zhu Sijia.
In the past few days, I heard from the palace people that Zhu Sijia had made some mistake that made Yan Xiulongyan so angry that he even punished her severely. I guess I have stepped on Yan Xiu's bottom line and made Yan Xiu intolerable. Isn't this a good time to take back the Phoenix Seal and take the opportunity to suppress her?
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiu glanced at her lazily: "I hope Jieyu will not be guilty of this. I am not punishing her severely. I am teaching her the rules myself, so I won't bother the Queen Mother."
"Even if she is grounded, the palace accounts will still be sent to Changle Palace for her to handle, and she will definitely not cause trouble to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother has nothing to do, why not go back to Zhangtai Palace to worship the Buddha."
Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry at Yan Xiu's attitude that she reluctantly returned to Zhangtai Palace.
Zhang Wanyao said tremblingly at the side: "The Queen Mother, I said that Your Majesty did not sincerely punish her, but he clearly still had her in his heart. If she had really lost the king's heart, he would have been demoted by Your Majesty."
Empress Dowager Zhang sneered: "Position? Are you embarrassed to raise a position with the Yi family? You haven't even climbed up to this position yet! Your Majesty also favors you, but there has been no movement in your belly. Why, you and I Is Zhu Scarlett as frail and unable to give birth?"
patronize? How could Zhang Wanyao dare to confess Yan Xiu's "favoring" method to her? If she told her a word, she probably wouldn't even know how she died.
Zhang Wanyao: "It's all my fault that I made a mistake."
…
Hu Shunhai passed the oral instructions into Changle Palace, and Zhu Sijia could hardly maintain her elegant posture.
Yan Xiu, does he really hate her to this extent?
Zhu Ya quietly defended her: "Your Majesty's magnanimity is really an eye-opener for this servant. How can I not see you like this?"
How could anyone treat a woman they like like this? Even if he was angry again, he shouldn't rely on his high position and power to suppress her everywhere or neglect her too much.
This is not a normal dispute between lovers, it is an outright oppression by power.
Zhu Ya now looks at Yan Xiu as if she were her best friend's boyfriend, and there's nothing she doesn't like about him.
Zhu Sijia: "I know you care about me, but this matter really happened because of me. If I hadn't said hurtful words, he wouldn't be so indifferent...and His Majesty's actions are always unpredictable to ordinary people. This matter has changed." Well, there is nothing wrong with us celebrating my birthday peacefully in Changle Palace."
As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. Naturally, she did not tell Zhu Ya why she and Yan Xiu quarreled.
Otherwise Zhu Ya will look at her in a different light.
…
The news that no one in the palace was allowed to visit Zhu Sijia spread everywhere, but it did not reach Jingfu Palace.
Zhu Yuancun was fed well with food and drink in Jingfu Hall for a while, but Yan Xiu ordered him not to wield swords or guns. He could only read military books and play with the sand table to simulate combat every day to relieve his fatigue.
One winter passed, and Zhu Yuancun had not changed much to the naked eye, but when he put on his brand new spring clothes, he was surprised to realize that he had gained a lot of weight without knowing it.
People become useless when they are idle. Zhu Yuancun touched the soft flesh on his cheek and secretly determined to practice martial arts secretly so that he could return to the court as soon as possible.
But today is no longer an option. Today is Scarlett’s seventeenth birthday.
Zhu Scarlett Palace had many treasures. After much thought, he couldn't think of anything he could get, so he simply decided to make a bowl of longevity noodles with his own hands and send it to Changle Palace.
Growing up, he had eaten food cooked by his mother and his sister, but he had never cooked it for anyone else.
Zhu Yuancun poured flour all over the kitchen and finally made this bowl of longevity noodles full of blessings and heartfelt wishes.
He carried the food box and ran all the way, wishing he could ride his horse in the palace so that he could deliver the steaming bowl of longevity noodles to Changle Palace as quickly as possible.
He knew that Zhu Sijia was banned. At first, he was worried about Zhu Sijia's situation, but he didn't have enough manpower to send him to Changle Palace to investigate.
But a few days ago, he heard that Yu Changshi and others had taken advantage of the opportunity to enter Changle Palace, and he was relieved. It turned out that His Majesty was just showing off to outsiders.
He will definitely be able to watch Zhu Sijia eat the longevity noodles today.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Changle Palace, Zhu Yuancun was stopped by the imperial army:
"Uncle, your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter Changle Palace, and Zhu Jieyu is not allowed to go out to meet people. Please don't embarrass your subordinates."
The Imperial Guard guarding the post today happened to be Zhu Yuancun's general, and they had a good relationship with him.
Zhu Yuancun winked and said: "Do you know what day it is today? Today is Jieyu's birthday, she is my younger sister! The rule is that the dead are alive, don't you know how to adapt? How do I usually teach you? of."
The guarding army was in a dilemma: "Of course I don't dare to offend my uncle and Jieyu, but I don't even dare to disobey the emperor's order. I still ask my uncle to go back first."
