In Kunning Palace, Chang Yu bowed respectfully to Queen Zhou. This was the second time he met Queen Zhou after returning. The first time he met Queen Zhou was secretly, but this time he was fair and aboveboard.
And Chang Yu probably knew why Queen Zhou wanted to see him. It was most likely that he brought the box of silver bribed by the Zhou family to Chongzhen last night...
Sure enough, after the greetings, Zhou Huanggong first smiled slightly: "I would like to thank you very much."
Chang Yu pretended not to know: "Why did the Queen say this?"
"My mother-in-law has always been stingy, but she is always greedy and always reaches out for something. It is really rare that she has given you so much money this time." Zhou Yufeng said with a long sigh.
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "So that's what happened. At first, I thought it was given to me. I didn't dare to take bribes, so I gave it to the emperor. Now I know that it was given to the queen with the help of me."
Zhou Yufeng knew that Chang Yu was joking, so she smiled to save her face.
"I have already broken up with my mother-in-law, and we will never have contact with each other until we die. Since they gave us money, why don't I accept it? In the past, I often took things from my hands." Zhou Yufeng said with a somewhat angry look on her face, which showed that she still had a dream for the prince. She was worried about the saying that women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong. It didn't matter what their parents did to her, they could tolerate it, but she couldn't bear to kill her three sons!
This is also the reason why Zhou Yufeng remained unmoved when Zhou Kui pretended to be sick when he begged for an audience outside the palace, and even asked his mother to kowtow outside the palace to beg for an audience and show affection.
"This is the Empress's family affairs. I can only listen and cannot give you any opinions or suggestions. But the Empress must have other things to do when she summons me here today, right?" Chang Yu didn't want to waste too much time on Empress Zhou's family matters, so he Change the subject.
Zhou Yufeng retracted her hatred, coughed lightly, took a sip from the tea beside her, and said, "I heard that you will leave Beijing and go north to attack the enemy in the near future, right?"
"It's due today, I'm waiting for a message from the emperor!" Chang Yu said truthfully.
Zhou Yufeng groaned, obviously not expecting him to leave in such a hurry.
"I am not involved in government affairs, so I don't know the inside story, but seeing you leaving so urgently, over there..." Zhou Yufeng's face was full of anxiety: "Are you sure..."
"Empress, my head can be cut off and blood can be shed, but I won't let the Qing army take another step south!" Chang Yu stood up and held his hands in his hands with a firm look on his face.
Infected by it, Zhou Yufeng stood up with clenched fists and walked to Chang Yu: "My Daming, my Zhu family is so lucky to have a person like you to assist me. You, you are my Daming and the benefactor of my Zhu family. I am Miyashiro Zhu family, thank you..." As he said this, he actually leaned over and knelt down.
"Queen, no!" Chang Yu was shocked and quickly reached out to help her. He really didn't expect that his status in the queen's heart was so high and that he had such trust.
Feeling this, he warned himself, no matter if his body is broken into pieces, I, Chang Yu, will be the pillar of the Ming Dynasty!
"Why does the Queen do this when it is a matter of ministerial duty!"
Zhou Yufeng took advantage of the situation and stood up. Chang Yu helped her back to her seat. It took a while before her mood stabilized, and she said softly: "I called you here today. I wanted to trouble you with an errand, but I learned that you were leaving Beijing at any time. Then you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
"I am a servant of the royal family. If the queen has any errands, just ask her, why bother?" Chang Yu said quickly, feeling a little proud in his heart. Zhou Yufeng really loved him so much that he was extremely polite in his words.
Zhou Yufeng forced a smile: "It's not a big deal at all. I just want to tell you. The war has been going on recently, and the emperor is busy with state affairs. Although I have good intentions, I can't do much to help. I can only pray silently. I wanted to go to the Temple of Earth to serve the royal family. Pray for blessings, but the noise of my coming out of the palace is too great. Firstly, I am afraid of ostentation by laboring with people, and secondly, I am afraid that I will be impeached by the court officials for being inappropriate."
There are two altars of heaven and earth in the capital. The heaven altar worships the emperor and the sky, and the earth altar worships the "emperor and earth god". As the name suggests, they worship their own throne and bless their foundation for thousands of years.
However, this work has always been done by the emperor himself. It seems a bit inconsistent with etiquette for the queen to go, but there is no explicit rule that the queen cannot pray for her husband.
"So, what the queen means is that you want me to help you go secretly..." Chang Yu was startled, what a joke, taking the queen out of the palace privately, the screenwriter wouldn't dare to make it up like this.
Sure enough, Queen Zhou smiled and waved her hands quickly: "You kid, how can this be done!"
Hearing the words "child", Chang Yu felt hot in his heart and barely restrained his emotions: "Then, what the queen means is..."
"Kun Xing said that she would go to pray for her father on behalf of me. I think this child has been bored in the palace recently. I want to take the opportunity to go out and get some fresh air... Of course, I can't and don't want to attract a large number of people. I only regard this as a matter of course. It’s a family matter of the Zhu family, my wife and children pray for their father and this family, that’s all.” Zhou Yufeng sighed softly.
Um... Chang Yu understood this psychology, but he was still a little confused.
Throughout the dynasties, it was a custom that princes and princesses were not allowed to leave the palace at will. Needless to say, the prince was more lenient. Although the princess was relatively loose, if she was caught leaving the palace at will, the eunuchs and maids serving around her would be punished or even beaten to death. However, usually the emperor would not directly intervene in this matter, because it fell within the business scope of the harem and should be handled by the master of the harem.
Generally, the queen handles these matters relatively gently, but if she is not a concubine, she will be stricter, and her own daughter will be punished even more severely - she will be punished for copying articles!
And now Zhou Yufeng plans to let Chang Yu take his daughter secretly out of the palace to pray for blessings at the Temple of Earth. The implication is that she can take her shopping with her.
This is a beautiful thing, Chang Yu couldn't ask for it!
As for the matter of the princess leaving the palace privately, of course, the appointment must be made as secretly as possible, and it must be left to someone she trusts. Of course, the person Queen Zhou trusts the most is Chang Yu.
But at this moment, I only felt deep regret. Yes, he was leaving Beijing at any time today and had no time at all.
I feel unwilling but helpless: "If it were yesterday, I would still be able to..."
"That's all, you are busy working for the emperor, and you also have to supervise the army in Beiguan. The state affairs are of course important. Let's discuss this matter later." Zhou Huanggong sighed slightly.
"Empress, I met Zhou's consort in the palace yesterday...Zhou Shixian, he must have come to the palace for the princess's wedding. This is a happy event, how can the princess return..."
Zhou Yufeng smiled and said, "You don't understand the worries of a girl's family. She is annoyed when she is unhappy, and she is also annoyed when she is happy." Then she sighed slightly: "Kunxing's marriage has not yet been put on the agenda. At this time, the war is going on. Si Qi, how can the emperor have any thoughts... But maybe he will arrange a wedding soon, eh, it's time for R's son's marriage..."
Hearing Zhou Yufeng's casual thoughts, Chang Yu was distracted. Is Ah Jiu really going to get married like this?
Chang Yu absent-mindedly talked to Queen Zhou again and then left.
Empress Zhou knew that he was leaving the capital and was busy with official duties, so she didn't try to persuade him to stay. She just said "peace" and watched him leave the palace.
After leaving the main hall, Chang Yu still seemed to be out of his mind. He followed a little eunuch who led the way and walked north, intending to leave the palace through Xuanwu Gate.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly smelled a scent. When I looked up, I saw the most familiar cold face, still frowning.
Seeing Chang Yu, Princess Kunxing was a little surprised. She briefly relaxed her frown, as if she wanted to say something to Chang Yu, but in the end she held it back, just nodded slightly, and walked towards Kunning Palace. go.
I was surprised to realize that I didn't show my lovesickness. It turned out that it was just because I didn't know where it started. I didn't know where it came from. I couldn't find my hatred. I fell asleep with a smile. There are so many beauties in this world, but you are the only one I love.
Chang Yu looked at his back and groaned in a low voice.

Chang Yu forced a smile: "I'm just a dog with a dog's tail, and it's hard to reach the level of elegance."

However, after finally thinking about it, Chang Yu smiled bitterly and turned to leave.
After leaving the palace gate, Chang Yu was relieved of his previous dullness and looked back at the palace gate with a warm smile on his face. It is for you that even though there are thousands of people, I will go!
