"Queen, Queen!"
Outside Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi rushed in overjoyed. Although he was a little rude and reckless, Xiao Jing and others accompanying him all had smiles on their faces.
Empress Zhang was originally serving flowers and plants in Kunning Palace, but when she suddenly heard the emperor shouting, she quickly threw her things and came out to welcome him.
"Concubine, see you..."
"Oh, Queen, don't be too polite." Hongzhi smiled broadly and took Queen Zhang's hand and said excitedly: "Queen, do you remember that yesterday Zhao'er came to plead for mercy and you spared the two palace ladies? "
Queen Zhang's eyes were a little confused, "Yes... there is such a thing."
The atmosphere seems to be a good thing?
Over there, Eunuch Xiao covered his mouth and smiled, just like a little daughter.
If he hadn't been used to seeing eunuchs posing like this, he would probably feel a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, what exactly... happened?"
The emperor showed a memorandum to the queen: "Those who are forgiving are moved by heaven and earth, those who are forgiving are remembered in history, and those who are benevolent are invincible in the world. The queen knows that this is a secret from the king, and congratulates Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, for his forgiveness, forbearance, and benevolence. To be honest. I know that sometimes I can’t do anything to my ministers. But my prince is very popular with them!"
"Really?" Empress Zhang was also surprised. Now she thought about it carefully, "That's why Your Majesty brought up Zhao'er's plea to me. At that time... I didn't think much about it at that time. I was just coaxed by Zhao'er. After a few words, I agreed to him."
"Good promise." The emperor slapped his thigh, still smiling proudly, "The queen may not know it in the harem, but the foreign ministers have already praised me and the queen's child to the sky!"
Xiao Jing flattered him at the right time, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, my great Ming Dynasty has a successor!"
Empress Zhang covered her chest, as if she was about to shed tears of joy.
"Zhao'er, really...?"
Emperor Hongzhi explained the details of the matter clearly to her, otherwise she would have thought it was very simple, "Song Renzong left many beautiful stories. According to this matter, this matter is similar to some of Song Renzong's stories. I guess it is a storyteller on the streets of Beijing." It’s time to talk about everything.”
The emperor has always had this concern since he ascended the throne.
First of all, he must have a son, otherwise who will pass the Ming Dynasty to?
Later he got married and gave birth to a son to his wife.
At that time, the whole court congratulated him, and he himself was very excited, so that he would have an explanation to his ancestors in the future.
When he really has a son, the courtiers next to him will start to say that he himself will have the same idea: that is, to raise the child into an adult.
Let him become a person who can entrust the world with heavy responsibilities.
Zhu Houzhao was born to be an emperor, and Emperor Hongzhi also expected the same for his son. He was very angry when some people said that his child was not talented.
Now that the prince has received such recognition, he is also very excited.
"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor smacked his lips, thinking of thousands of words, but these three words were the last ones.
"Pass the decree. The young master of Zhan Shi Mansion, Zhan Shi Wang, is a man of great virtue, hard work and loyalty. He has taught the crown prince a meritorious service. He is given a bullfight uniform to comfort his ambition and to be honored!"
Wang Hao had just been promoted, so it was obviously inappropriate for him to be promoted again.
But for this meritorious service, the emperor wanted to reward him just to show the prince's virtue.
Granting service originally had the function of making up for the fact that some ministers did not meet the promotion standards but deserved to be rewarded.
Of course, bullfighting uniforms are generally given to senior officials of level three or above.
But Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shi's mansion, was a fourth-grade official. The emperor's use here also highlights the importance he attaches to Wang Nao.
"I just want people to know that if I teach the prince well and serve him well, I can give him any favors and honors."
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Zhao'er!"
The news reached the East Palace,
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised.
Now everyone says that when he begged for mercy that day, he used the phrase he had just learned: "Being a king ends with benevolence."
It happened that Wang Kuo taught him that day.
But in fact,
Only some people know that it was Yang Tinghe who first taught him...
Zhang Tianrui was still talking to Yang Tinghe. He was okay because he had retreated that day, but he felt a little sad when he mentioned this colleague, "Jie Fu, His Highness studied half of the university that day, so he should..."
It should include that sentence.
Doing the same thing, completely different fates.
Yang Tinghe was originally an open-minded person.
But the continuous bad luck made him a little depressed.
"When times come, heaven and earth all work together to transport heroes without freedom."
Only Luo Yin's negative poem could express his inner feelings.
While talking,
The two maids rescued by Zhu Houzhao that day also walked into the Xiefang Palace. They were asked by the crown prince to serve tea in the East Palace.
When I arrived at the East Palace, I happened to find Zhu Houzhao practicing calligraphy in front of the writing desk.
The little young man was sitting in front of the desk with a serious face. There was a cup of tea beside him, and the heat was swaying upwards.
The Crown Prince was still a child, with a delicate complexion. The silk and satin he wore was not wrinkled at all, and it was so clean that it was not stained by a trace of dust.
In terms of nobility, who in the world is more noble than this crown prince?
Listening to the instructions given by him and the servant beside him, his speech was also so slow and gentle.
Ming Dynasty, is this going to usher in a crown prince who will be supported by all the people?
If people all over the world can live a good life with him around, then their families should also suffer less.
In just a few days, these two little girls experienced life and death, and the many emotions in their hearts seemed to be unstoppable.
But when he arrived at the East Palace and really saw the prince, he seemed to become calm again.
"My slaves, Qiuyun and Dongyu, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. I thank His Highness for saving my life."
Zhu Houzhao also realized that someone had brought them here, and while writing, he said, "How is the injury on your butt?"
Dongyu is too young and dare not speak out.
As for Qiuyun, she is older and knows better, but words like butt still make her a little shy.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just a minor injury. It's much better after applying medicine."
"Okay, then just raise it and then add value."
Qiu Yun plucked up the courage, suddenly saluted, and touched his head to the ground, "How can I deserve your highness to plead for mercy with my humble life? I can't repay the kindness of rebirth. I can only serve with all my heart. I dare not save the time for recuperation." Read it. Please, Your Highness, fulfill the wishes of this servant and Dongyu."
Zhu Houzhao put down his pen and looked at them carefully.
Qiuyun is taller and has soft and bright black silk, with a few strands falling on her white forehead. She has a small oval face, her face is extremely plain, and she has a bit of a bookish look between her eyebrows.
Dongyu's face is wider, his eye sockets are a little deeper like those in the Western Regions, and his large double eyelids are also very distinctive.
The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were still different. The photos left by the queens and maids of the Qing Dynasty broke too many future generations' beautiful imagination of the palace.
But it’s useless no matter how beautiful your imagination is.
Zhu Houzhao is now in the pocket of the poor - no hair!
Liu Jin, who was hunched over at the side, spoke up at the right time: "Your Highness, these two girls don't look very big. They have been through the ghost gate in the past two days. I'm afraid they will be frightened. Moreover, it is ordinary for Your Highness to show such a great kindness." Even wild beasts are always thinking about repaying their kindness day and night, let alone humans? If they are just raised, I am afraid they will feel uneasy in their hearts and suffer even more pain in their skin and flesh."
"Really?" Zhu Houzhao was really surprised.
Qiu Yun couldn't say Liu Jin's flattering words, but since they said it for her, she could only admit, "Eunuch Liu said exactly what he said."
"How could you have such an idea?" Zhu Houzhao also felt that people are really pitiful, especially in front of two beautiful and exquisite little girls, the man's tackiness also increased, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind, "How about that?" Let Yang Tinghe take them back as goddaughters?!"
Liu Jin's eyes lit up. Yang Tinghe would be extremely uncomfortable if this happened, because it was His Highness who brought these two people back from the palace as their goddaughters. They were basically two ancestors.
"Your Highness! I think this plan is very clever!"
