Zhu Yijun rushed to Cining Palace, got off the dragon chariot in front of the palace gate, pushed aside the little eunuch who was leading the way, trotted all the way, and hurried in.
As soon as she walked to the door of the main hall, she saw Queen Mother Li standing under the plaque of "Kindness Wins the Sea" in the main hall, with an unusually cold face. The third princess Zhu Yao'e and the fourth princess Zhu Yaolao were both kneeling in front of her, with their two slender bodies. Trembling in the shadow of his mother.
Zhu Yijun didn't dare to look any further. He knocked his head on the ground as soon as he entered the door and said, "An unfilial son pays homage to his mother."
"You still know that you are unfilial"
Queen Mother Li's voice came dryly, her tone as cold as the cold wind blowing under the Nine Netherworld.
Zhu Yijun twisted his body uneasily, forced himself to calm down, kowtowed and said, "My son is guilty, please punish my mother."
"Oh" Queen Mother Li's voice did not soften at all, she still asked coldly, "What are your crimes? Tell me."
"It is the sin of a son-in-law to make the queen mother angry."
Empress Dowager Li sneered, "You have been with Gao Pragmatic for ten years. Instead of learning his literary talents, you have learned his cunningness. It's easy to avoid important things."
Zhu Yijun swallowed secretly and did not dare to raise his head. He just replied, "I don't know what the queen mother meant. Please make it clear."
"Hmph, you don't know what the Ai family means by this." Concubine Li waved her hand to the maid beside her and said, "Show it to the emperor."
The maid did not dare to neglect, so she took a few pages of plain white paper and handed them to Zhu Yijun respectfully.
Zhu Yijun quickly took it and looked at it. The handwriting on the first piece of paper was quite beautiful.
Today and what night I am in the middle of the boat, today and what day I have to be in the same boat with the prince.
He was humiliated and was not ashamed of being good, and he was upset when he learned that the prince was uneasy.
There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches. My heart is happy for you, but you don’t know it.
Zhu Yijun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad.
Seeing Zhu Yijun completely motionless, Queen Mother Li said coldly, "This is written by Yao'e. The Ai family would like to ask the emperor who this king is."
Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Who knew that the matter was not over yet, Queen Mother Li snorted coldly and said, "There will be more later, you can watch later."
Zhu Yijun quickly took this page away and looked at the second page. Surprisingly, the handwriting this time was actually different from the first page. From a calligraphy point of view, the writing force was obviously slightly weaker, and the hidden edge was too sharp. When he goes forward, he is not decisive enough. In terms of Zhu Yijun's calligraphy skills, this is at most the level of his essay writing when he was eleven or twelve years old.
Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, could it be the word Yao?
But whether the handwriting is good or not is not the key, the key is what is written on it.
The words written on this paper shocked Zhu Yijun even more than the Yue song written by the third princess Zhu Yao'e just now, because what was written on it was Qiao
Look at Qi'ao and see the green bamboo. There are bandits and gentlemen who are like quarrels, discussions, grinding, harrassing, and arrogance. There are bandits and gentlemen, and they should never be ignored.
Looking at Qi'ao, the green bamboos are green. There is a bandit gentleman whose ears are clear and his ears are as sharp as stars. Se Xi Xi Xi Xi. He is proud, there are bandits and gentlemen, and he cannot be ignored in the end.
Looking at Qi'ao, the green bamboos are like bamboo rafts. There are bandits and gentlemen who are as good as gold as tin, as good as jade and gold. It's wide and broad, and heavy. He is good at teasing, not cruel.
Zhu Yijun is actually quite knowledgeable, so he naturally knows the meaning of these two poems.
There is no need to investigate the original meaning of the poem "Yuerenge". This poem has been handed down to this day. Everyone knows that the real key is the last sentence of the mountain.
Just now, the queen mother asked him who this "jun" was, which obviously meant the same thing.
Zhu Yijun secretly complained. It stands to reason that Yao'e only met Hou Gongchen once, so it's not right. Is Hou Gongchen really so outstanding? Yao'e fell in love with me so much after seeing him once, so that he never forgets me. Didn't see it
However, compared to Zhu Yao'e's Yue Renge, Zhu Yijun is now more distressed and finds it more incredible than Zhu Yao'e's Qiao.
Qi'ao comes from the Chinese style of the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs ranks first among the Five Classics. Zhu Yijun is naturally very familiar with it. This Qi'ao is a poem that praises the image of a man. Although it is difficult to say that it must be a love poem, the admiration implicit in it is The meaning is obvious enough.
Only then did Zhu Yijun think of it, Yao Yu was almost fourteen years old, already the age when love began. Zhu Yijun's own queen entered the palace at the age of fourteen. So what's so strange about Yao Yu having such thoughts?
But the problem is, whoever Yao Lao is interested in can’t be Hou Gongchen, that’s absolutely not possible.
Zhu Yijun only felt bitter in his mouth, and suddenly he broke into a cold sweat and his back was soaked with sweat.
When Empress Dowager Li saw it, she said coldly, "You don't need to read the rest. In short, these are the things." Then she paused and asked, "The Ai family will ask you again, to whom are these poems written?"
Zhu Yijun didn't know if Yao'e and Yao Lai had "honest confessions", so he took a chance and said weakly, "I'll report it back to my mother, but my sons and ministers don't know."
"How dare you lie?" Empress Dowager Li became furious and shouted, "Go away and the foreign minister is kneeling down in the palace. He is not allowed to get up unless he has the order of the Ai family."
Empress Dowager Li's sudden rage frightened Zhu Yijun so much that he didn't dare to say a word. He got up and walked out. When he got out of the palace, he turned around and knelt down. He was frightened and worried at the same time. Ashamed and annoyed.
What was horrifying was that the queen mother was so angry that it was scary, and she didn't know how she would be punished. What was embarrassing was that there were a lot of maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace, and she, the majestic king of the country, was exposed to such an ugly appearance.
The education he received prevented him from slandering his mother in his heart, but at this moment, he really wanted to gouge out the eyes of all these palace maids and eunuchs.
You can also hear the stern voice of the Queen Mother inside at the entrance of the palace: "You two, don't think that because of your royal brother's protection, you can ignore the ancestral law and kneel outside for the Ai family."
The imperial brother was too frightened to resist, and the two princesses naturally did not dare to tell each other apart, so they came outside trembling. As soon as the two of them went out, they both looked at the emperor secretly.
Zhu Yijun lamented in his heart and didn't know how to react. At this point, he did inherit his father, Emperor Longqing's love for his relatives. Although he felt that he must have been cheated by his two sisters, he could not afford to give birth to them. I was so angry that I had to smile dejectedly.
The two princesses did not dare to speak to him at the moment, and obediently knelt side by side behind him, their bodies trembling a little.
There was no sound coming from the main hall. The maids and eunuchs were all very cautious, not daring to make any movement, just like wood carvings or clay sculptures.
After a while, Chen Hong ran in excitedly from outside. When he saw the emperor and the two princesses kneeling outside the palace, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with gloating.
But immediately he stopped smiling, made a very sad expression, and hurriedly walked to the front of the palace. Without letting others pass the news, he said loudly, "The Queen Mother, the old slave is back."
Queen Mother Li's voice was much calmer at this time, but still very cold, "Come in."
Chen Hong went in, bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, I have found out the matter. In addition to going to Nancheng Temple to offer incense and to pay homage to the late emperor, the two princesses also went out of the palace once, and it was the emperor who took them there. "
"Pah!" The sound of broken porcelain came from the main hall, and it was not known what was damaged.
The anger in Queen Mother Li's voice clearly exploded again: "Okay, okay, he left the palace privately without telling me, and he even dared to bring his two younger sisters with him. The emperor is amazing, amazing, he obeys all the rules left by his ancestors." No more”
There was silence in the main hall. After a while, Queen Mother Li's voice came out again, "Where have you been?"
Chen Hong immediately replied, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the emperor and the two princesses went to Gao Yongshi's residence and stayed for nearly three hours. It is said that they were extremely happy when they came back."
"Bang" this time, the broken thing was obviously bigger than before.
