Hearing the words of the chief eunuch, the Queen Mother suddenly looked at her most trusted steward, the Grand Eunuch, with some surprise.
As for the Grand Eunuch, the Chief Steward of Changle Palace, he was very dissatisfied with the way the leader eunuch dragged him into trouble. However, seeing that this boy had given him enough money as a filial piety, the Grand Steward My father-in-law did not directly disown the relationship.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Xiao Dezi did report to me, saying that he went to Weiyang Palace to see His Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to come to Changle Palace to meet with the Queen Mother. As for what Xiao Dezi said after he went to Weiyang Palace to meet with His Majesty. What, that slave doesn’t know!” The Grand Duke in charge immediately reported back to the Queen Mother.
Hearing the words of the Grand Eunuch, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her eyebrows with dissatisfaction and said: "Who lets you make your own decisions about things like this? Whether the emperor comes to see me, an old woman, what I want is his sincerity and force. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it or not!”
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Zhu Jingxuan flattered the Queen Mother with a smile on her face: "What did the Queen Mother say? The Queen Mother has a graceful temperament and a generous manner. She stands with the child. People who don't know better think that the Queen Mother is the child's sister. , how can you say you are old?"
After hearing Zhu Jingxuan's remarks, the expression on the Queen Mother's face softened slightly, but her tone was full of disgust: "You are so smooth-talking, you know how to deceive me by saying these nice things!"
"What the child said is true, how dare you deceive the mother!" Zhu Jingxuan showed an expression of being wronged, and muttered aggrievedly. Then, Zhu Jingxuan changed the topic, "As for what the mother said before, I Why don't you come to visit your mother during this time... Isn't this the mother's oral instruction to the son? For this reason, the child has been worried for the past two days, worried that the mother has hated the son and will never want to see the son again. So, the child has been shutting up his thoughts in Weiyang Palace these days, just to let the mother see the child's sincerity, and then call the child to Changle Palace to talk to the mother."
Hearing Zhu Jingxuan's words, the Queen Mother suddenly asked with surprise: "What did you just say? The Ai family's oral edict? Why don't the Ai family remember that the Ai family had issued this oral edict?"
After saying that, the Queen Mother turned to look at the Grand Eunuch in charge with some surprise: "Did the Ai family ever give an oral order not to see His Majesty?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, no!" the Grand Eunuch, the steward, immediately leaned over and replied.
"No, then where did my son start talking about this?" The Queen Mother turned her head curiously and looked at the Emperor Zhu Jingxuan who was standing in front of her.
"The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother! This is the Emperor slandering the slaves! This is the Emperor slandering the slaves!" Before Zhu Jingxuan could answer, the leader eunuch on the side immediately stretched his neck and shouted, "The slaves have never falsely delivered oral instructions! I have never falsely conveyed the Queen Mother’s instructions! I just told Your Majesty that the Queen Mother will hold a flower viewing party in the Imperial Garden in the near future. I told Your Majesty that if you have nothing to do, please stay away as much as possible to avoid bumping into the palace. The noble ladies from all the families participating in the flower viewing party...the servants really did not falsely pass on the Queen Mother's oral instructions to prevent Her Majesty from coming to see the Queen Mother!"
Zhu Jingxuan did not argue with the eunuch's wailing, but bowed his head slightly in grievance, with a look on his face that he was hesitant to speak.
"My son, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it!" The Queen Mother noticed the expression on Zhu Jingxuan's face, and immediately spoke to support Zhu Jingxuan, "With the Ai family here, my son can speak freely and boldly. The Ai family wants to see it. Look, how rampant these slaves around the Ai family have become now!"
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Zhu Jingxuan immediately felt as if he had taken a reassurance, and poured out all his "heart" like pouring beans into a bamboo tube: "Although this father-in-law did say this to me, but, Matching his expression at that time... I'm scared, Queen Mother! I'm afraid that Queen Mother is tired of me and doesn't want to see me anymore, so I hurried back to Weiyang Palace to think about my mistakes behind closed doors. To this day, this father-in-law said that he was ordered by Queen Mother Come see me, I will meet you again!"
To be honest, the Queen Mother already somewhat believed Zhu Jingxuan's remarks. After all, she could only say that she understood the situation of Zhu Jingxuan, the so-called emperor.
During this period of time, Zhu Jingxuan came to greet and flatter him every day. In fact, the Queen Mother knew very well that this emperor did not necessarily respect her very much. The reason why he did this was most likely because he wanted to He wanted to please himself so as not to be bullied in the palace. In addition, he probably still had the intention of protecting him and not harming his life until the day he became a Zen monk.
Therefore, if she, the eunuch next to the Queen Mother, said the previous words to Zhu Jingxuan in a arrogant manner, the emperor, who only she, the Queen Mother, could rely on, would indeed hide in him in panic all day long. Not coming out of Weiyang Palace - As for what Zhu Jingxuan said about shutting up and thinking about it, the Queen Mother didn't believe it. She believed that there was a greater chance that Zhu Jingxuan was huddled in a corner of Weiyang Palace, fearfully waiting for the end to come. …
Of course, the Queen Mother actually doesn't care whether she is shutting herself up and thinking about her mistakes or huddled in fear in a corner of the Weiyang Palace. As long as she knows that Zhu Jingxuan is still the timid and fearful puppet emperor who desperately wants to please herself, she will enough!
As for the leader eunuch who was escorted to Changle Palace...
"The Ai family remembers that the Ai family took a nap that day and only left one sentence, 'You can retreat after seeing me outside the palace.' It seems that you were not asked to say anything else to my son, right?" The Queen Mother stared at the ground with cold eyes. The eunuch asked in a cold tone.
"The Queen Mother, please listen to my explanation. Those words... I am just worried. The Queen Mother has prepared a flower-viewing party for many days. If the Emperor's collision makes the banquet uneasy and disturbs the Queen Mother's interest, then it will be worse. It's not beautiful, so I thought of reminding Your Majesty in advance, and I didn't want to cause so many things later... But the Queen Mother, you have to believe in me, I will consider you wholeheartedly, and this is only God's intention. "Execution, the sun and the moon can teach us this, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive this little one!"
While expressing his love, the eunuch kowtowed to the ground with "bang", "bang" and "bang". After a while, his forehead became bloody...
