"Mother?"
"Um?"
"My father...the emperor, is a very powerful person, right?" the little guy asked.
Miss Li's expression changed, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown: "Who taught you this?"
"No one teaches you, but children can see it." He was a little proud.
Miss Li was very happy and asked with a smile: "Then how did you see it?"
"Mother is afraid of the emperor, and so are those without beards, and..."
"Okay." Miss Li interrupted him, "Just study hard at your age and don't think about anything else."
"Oh~" The little guy scratched his head and asked again: "Mom, can you study hard and become the emperor?"
"No!" Miss Li shook her head, "Never say such words again."
"Why?" The little guy was puzzled, "Daddy can do it, why can't I?"
He was a little unconvinced, "When I grow up, I will also be the emperor!"
Miss Li's face suddenly changed, and she said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I, I..." The little guy was frightened. He had never seen such a mother before. He shook his head tremblingly, tears welling up in his eyes: "I don't know either... Mom, don't be angry."
My mother was not angry, she was... scared... Miss Li was no less frightened than her son, even worse.
She didn't have much knowledge, but she also knew that her son's words would bring great terror. She was worried about it, so... she beat her son.
Got a good beating.
My son also cried, and she also cried...
Finally, the little guy fell asleep in his mother's arms, his little body still shaking, sobbing from time to time, his face full of tears, looking pitiful and helpless.
Miss Li blamed herself and felt distressed. At the same time, she was also uneasy and full of fear.
Children's words are taboo, but they also have to pay attention to what they say. Some words are taboo even if they are children's words. At the same time, it will inevitably give people the feeling that someone is instilling certain thoughts into the children.
Not to mention that her son was just a concubine, and she was also a chieftain. Even if the legitimate prince said he wanted to be emperor, that would be a sign of the real dragon's inverse scale.
Moreover, the emperor was in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period. Even if the emperor is old and decrepit, he must not say such unfaithful words. If he does, he will definitely suffer disaster!
Miss Li had no choice but to use this clumsy method to minimize the risk of disaster as much as possible.
She held her son and shook it gently, her face full of worry...

After Zhu Jianshen returned to the palace, he went to Yongning Palace.
Zhen'er was reading a little book. When the servant said that the emperor was here, she just changed her position and kept holding the scroll.
She has always been unruly in Yongning Palace. Of course, this is what Zhu Jianshen is used to. Who makes him affectionate?
Women, if you are far away, you will be resentful; if you are close, you will be disrespectful.
After a while, Zhu Jianshen walked in, and Zhen'er put down the book and stood up, "I have met the emperor."
"Yes." Zhu Jianshen went to sit next to her and pulled her down, "Are you reading the little book again?"
When the slaves saw this, they retreated with great discernment.
"I'm just passing the time when I'm bored." Zhen'er glanced at her little ancestor who looked guilty and curled her lips, "Go to Anletang?"
"Ang, I went to check it out when I have free time today." Zhu Jianshen nodded. For some reason, every time he came back from Anletang, he felt guilty about stealing from others.
Maybe... this is a side effect of the setting of Ming Dynasty's most affectionate lover!
Zhen'er didn't say anything, but just said: "Next time, I'll take my concubine with me. This concubine is quite boring, and it's not easy to go out alone all the time."
"What's the matter? If you feel bored, just go out for a walk. Who dares to say that you..." Zhu Jianshen said in surprise, "But the queen mother gave you little shoes to wear again?"
"That's not true," Zhen'er shook her head, "Since the last incident, she didn't care much about me, and she didn't have much trouble. It's true that the sky has eyes... Ahem, the emperor is a lot more relaxed, right? "
"..." Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly and nodded.
He knew that the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not be resolved, so he simply changed the subject: "I want to tell you something."
"Your Majesty, tell me." Zhen'er leaned forward and teased him like a cat.
Zhu Jianshen cleared his throat and said, "After the first day of the new year, I want to stay overnight in Anletang. You can protect me."
Zhen'er froze, left his embrace, and hummed: "It's easy to say, the emperor has an order, how dare I disobey it?"
"Uh... are you jealous?"
"How dare I, my concubine?" Zhen'er picked up the little book and continued to read it. She was completely different from just now.
Zhu Jian touched his nose deeply and said amusedly: "Zhen'er has always been generous, but why this time?"
"Come on? You know how to wear a high hat on me." Zhen'er rolled her eyes. She was not really jealous, it was just a flirting method. Who would let the little ancestor just accept this.
Zhu Jianshen also knew that she did it on purpose, but he just sighed softly: "I owe them a lot, mother and son. However, the current situation does not allow it. Otherwise, if I bring them into the palace, they can also be your companions."
"That's true." Zhen'er nodded and became serious: "Your Majesty, Anle Hall is not bigger than the Imperial Palace. If you go there, you must bring more guards."
Zhu Jianshen nodded with a smile and said jokingly: "No one dares to disobey Zhen'er's orders."
"De Xing..." Zhen'er muttered, then leaned over, "Your Majesty, by the way... you should also work hard to expand the royal family!"
"Zhen'er is so charming, I have no time to care about her!" Zhu Jianshen hugged her and put his hands on her.
"Concubine, I'm serious." Zhen'er swatted away his mischievous hand, "The emperor only has three princes so far, and...
Alas, the emperor was trying to consolidate the imperial power before, but now that the emperor is in power, it’s time to work hard for the clan. Common people’s families believe that many children will lead to happiness, not to mention the emperor’s family..."
She sighed softly: "Nowadays, in both the inner and outer courts, the emperor's childless status is placed on the concubines. If there are no more children in the palace, I am afraid that the concubines will be listed in the history books of future generations..."
"Who dares?"
"I don't dare to do it openly, but I may not dare to do so in private..." After a pause, Zhen'er smiled and said, "I think that Concubine Chen is very good. She will definitely give birth to a big fat dragon son for the emperor."
The last time I took away the evil mother-in-law's treasure, it was thanks to Concubine Chen's talk. Zhen'er must repay her kindness.
Zhu Jianshen thought about it. It had been ten years since Chenghua, but apparently no prince was still alive. It was really unreasonable.
Those who didn’t know, thought he wasn’t good at it.
He chuckled and said, "But before that, I have to make my Zhen'er happy..."
There is a seventeen-year age difference between the two, but because of this, they are very compatible.
One is in the age of a tiger, the other is in the energetic stage...

The New Year is coming, the streets of the capital are bustling with people, and the people's faces are filled with smiles. After working hard for a whole year, they can finally enjoy themselves.
However, the elites in this city are not happy at all.
It is an unwritten rule not to cause trouble during the New Year, and of course, they cannot cause trouble.
The human emperor didn't break the unspoken rules, so he just mentioned it and then nothing more happened.
Unless the emperor said it, they couldn't take the initiative to bring it up, but everyone knew that sooner or later, this matter would be put on the agenda.
Although it hasn't happened yet, they already have a headache.
In my heart... I am really worried!
Anyway, they are not having an easy time this year.
Compared to the nervousness of the ministers, Zhu Jianshen felt at ease. He had a pleasant face in Fengtian Palace and never blushed once. He was called a polite and virtuous corporal.
But the more he acted like this, the more uncomfortable the officials felt. They were not fools, so how could they not see that the emperor was holding back his bad intentions.
Combined with the fact that the emperor had made several eccentric moves and precise strikes before, they became increasingly uneasy.
The Chenghua Emperor had always planned and acted later. Several major decisions had achieved strategic goals, so that before the war even started, they had lost their belief in victory.
Although Marquis Yongqing is not in the capital,... the emperor is already full-fledged and well versed in the art of the emperor.
It’s just…difficult!
With an uneasy feeling, I finally got through the Chinese New Year.
The tenth year of Chenghua is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Boss Zhu summarized the current situation and looked forward to the future. He was extremely confident in the future development of Daming Company. He looked like he would become bigger and stronger and never mentioned layoffs.
The year-end bonus is also generous, not only increased by 10% compared with previous years, but also paid out of one's own pocket.
Holding back the bad, he must be holding back the bad...óΠъ.oяＧ
The officials were not happy after taking this money, they felt it was too hot to handle.
They could even imagine what the emperor looked like when he twisted his mouth...
~
Zhu Jianshen was in a very good mood, sent away the ministers, and took Zhen'er to Kunning Palace.
Since the last time, Queen Mother Zhou seemed to have changed. Even towards Zhen'er, she no longer raised her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows. With the blessing of the New Year atmosphere, getting along with her was actually a pleasure.
With only these few days of leisure in a year, Zhu Jianshen got interested and made a game.
I played Wanbingtiao with my beloved concubine and my mother.
Playing for a whole afternoon...
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhu Jianshen took a sedan chair to Anle Hall, and this time, Huaien followed him.
The emperor wanted to spend the night outside the palace, so the security work couldn't be sloppy, so he naturally had to follow him.
After watching the emperor enter the house, Wynn immediately mobilized Dongchang and Jinyiwei to patrol the Anletang area closely, just in case.
In order not to show off his appearance, Wynn used most of the guards in the factory in Beijing to wander around the streets.
It is said that the emperor loves the people like his son, in order to prevent some people from being hungry and cold during the Chinese New Year and disturbing the good people.
The factory guards didn't know what was going on, but the eunuchs and eunuchs in charge of the ceremony and eunuchs had all been punished personally. They didn't dare to be careless and patrolled round after round.
Fortunately, it was Chinese New Year, my wife and children were all at home, and there were no people on the street, so I didn't disturb the people.
Anletang, the backyard.
A family of three sat around the table, which was covered with fresh vegetables, fruits, snacks, and slices of fish, mutton, and other meats;
In the center, the hot pot is boiling and the soup is gushing.
The little guy is dressed warmly, like a penguin, which makes him even more naive.
He looked at his father on the left and then at his mother on the right, grinning silly, he was very happy.
Zhu Jianshen took out a red envelope from his arms and said warmly: "This is your lucky money."
Even though it was late, he still wanted to make it up.
"Thank you, dad." The little guy took it and asked curiously: "What can I do with this new year's money?"
He still vaguely remembered that his mother gave him this at this time last year, but took it away afterwards.
Zhu Jianshen chuckled: "I can buy a lot of candies."
"Really?"
"Of course!" Zhu Jianshen nodded firmly.
The little guy smiled even more happily, his big eyes curled into a line.
He didn't know what happiness was, but at this moment, he felt it...
