If another concubine had to say this, Concubine Chen would definitely respond, but she didn't dare to say it from Zhen'er.
Although she was favored enough, she also understood that she was still far behind compared with others.
Concubine Chen smiled and said: "Youqi missed my father and came with a lot of noise. If my sister doesn't like it, I will let him go back."
Zhu Youtiao raised his head and looked at his mother-in-law. He didn't know why she was lying, but he was sensible enough not to cause trouble.
The son does not say anything about his mother's fault.
"Don't worry, how vicious do I look like that?" Zhen'er said with a smile.
Zhu Jianshen was speechless: "I'm still here, so you guys are arguing and getting angry. If I'm not here, why don't you start fighting?"
After a pause, "Why don't you stop playing Wanbingtiao and have a fight? I have seen civil servants fight, but I have never seen women fight."
The women were shocked and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "I understand that I am guilty."
"Okay, everyone, get up."
"Yes." The women stood up, but they didn't dare to argue anymore.
Concubine Chen pushed her son and said, "Why don't you quickly meet your father, the emperor, and the imperial concubine and concubine Shu?"
Zhu Youqian hurriedly saluted: "My son has paid homage to the emperor, and has met the imperial concubine and concubine Shu."
Concubine Chen taught her very well. The little guy is less than three years old, but he is very sensible.
Zhen'er had objections to Concubine Chen, but she had basically no resistance to the child, and she immediately smiled.
Then, the ten thousand cake bars were put on the table and the atmosphere relaxed...
A few people were playing cards, and Zhu Youqiu sat quietly aside without making any noise. He took out a mini book from his arms and turned over page after page.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at it and asked with a smile: "Youqian, what are you looking at?"
Zhu Youyi quickly closed the book, walked forward with short legs, and handed over the book.
"Hey, college...what, you want to take the first prize?"
Concubine Chen was stunned and hurriedly explained: "Youqi just loves reading."
Zhu Jianshen smiled, nodded and said, "Well, it's good if you love reading."
He patted the little guy on the head and added: "Better than your big brother."
As soon as these words came out, Wanbingtiao couldn't fight anymore.
Zhen'er was shocked, Concubine Chen was surprised, and Concubine Ji Shu was panicked.
Anyone who is not a fool can hear what this means.
——The emperor's husband intends to change the prince?
This is a big deal.
Concubine Ji Shu was so distraught that she didn't know what to do. She didn't care about fame and fortune, but she couldn't impose this concept on her son.
As a mother, she naturally wants the best for her son, and she wants to fight for it.
But she really doesn't know how to redeem her dull temperament.
But she was very anxious.
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he realized that he had used too much force, so he patted Zhu Youqi's head and said, "You are still young, and growing up is the most important thing. Stop studying and go play with your elder brother."
"Someone is coming..."
"My slave is here."
"Go, take the second prince to the prince's place."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Zhu Youqian looked at his mother-in-law, and Concubine Chen said hurriedly: "Go, go, my mother-in-law will pick you up when the time comes."
"Yes." The child felt relieved and saluted his father: "My son, please leave."
Then, he bowed to Zhen'er and Concubine Ji Shu, and the two girls also smiled and signaled.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhao followed the slave and walked out.
Concubine Chen seemed to say unintentionally: "This child Youqi has always been sensible."
Concubine Ji Shu couldn't help but froze again after she had just squeezed out a smile. She was just dull, not stupid, so she couldn't tell that Concubine Chen meant something.
She said something and did something, but she didn't know how to help her son.
For a moment, my eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Zhu Jianshen felt some regret. He just wanted to make the prince feel a sense of crisis. The purpose was to temper the prince, but not to crush him.
This political signal was so strong that even the mild-tempered Concubine Shu almost cried. This went against his original intention.
Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to make amends: "These ten thousand cakes and strips are not interesting, so I won't play with them anymore."
There is really nothing left to play, and no one has the intention to continue playing.
Zhu Jianshen stretched himself, stood up and said, "Xiao Ji, come with me for a walk."
Concubine Ji Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes."

After leaving Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine walked aimlessly and remained silent.
Concubine Ji Shu somewhat broke the silence, but she didn't know where to start, so she couldn't help but shed tears in sadness.
"Why are you still crying..." Zhu Jianshen asked, "Who provoked you?"
"No, no, Feng Da was confused." Ji Shufei hurriedly shook her head to explain, leaving Zhu Jianshen speechless for a while.
Even if I give you a chance, you won’t use it!
After a while, Concubine Ji Shu seemed to have made up her mind and asked, "Your Majesty, do you dislike the prince?"
"Is there any?" Zhu Jianshen said in surprise, "No, I am very satisfied with the prince."
"But you..." Concubine Ji Shu looked sad, but she did not dare to accuse the emperor of her husband. She could only say, "Youtang is actually not bad. It is my concubine's fault for delaying him. Now that the emperor has invited your husband, he will definitely make up for it." Loss from time to time.”
"Yes, I understand." Zhu Jian nodded with a deep smile.
Concubine Ji Shu was still uneasy. She hesitated for a moment and then said with a heartbeat, "Concubine...it's still convenient."
"..." Zhu Jianshen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse, "I'll stay at your place that night."
After a pause, "Come to Qianqing Palace for dinner. It's been a long time since I've had a meal with you mother and son. It's just the three of us."
"Yes." Concubine Ji Shu saluted, touched her eyes, and smiled, "Then I will go and get ready."
"Well, go ahead."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, and then sighed again: This temper has indeed delayed the prince...
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on Concubine Ji Shu, as he, the father, takes the main responsibility.
But Zhu Jianshen also has difficulties...
"well…"
Zhu Jianshen let out a breath of depression and said loudly: "Here comes someone."
The little eunuch who was far behind immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My slave is here."
"Go, go to the Ministry of Industry and convey my order to renovate Marquis Yongqing's small courtyard in Lianjiatun'er. Furniture and other things will be provided." Zhu Jianshen hummed: "Be sure to ensure the quality. If it collapses or falls, , I will not take mercy lightly."
"My slave obeys the order." Xiao Huangmen was quite surprised, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly went to deliver the order.
Zhu Jianshen whispered to himself: "This way, he can live more comfortably when he comes back."

The side hall of Qianqing Palace.
The two brothers get along very well and can be described as brothers and sisters.
As he grew older, Zhu Youtang became more sensible and no longer jealous of his younger brother. Concubine Chen was very attentive to her son's education and guided him in a good direction. Although she had ideas, she would not tell her son son.
The brothers don't get along much, but it's always a pleasure.
Zhu Youtang was deeply influenced by his mother and concubine, and he was really eager to learn. Soon, he begged his eldest brother to teach him how to read and write. Zhu Youtang did not hide his secrets and taught him carefully.
Zhu Jian, who was walking, looked at this scene deeply, showing an old father's smile, and couldn't help but his eyes were a little moist.
very nice……
For a moment, he was a little wavered as to whether he should temper the prince or not.
After his emotions settled down, he firmed up his stance. The future king of a country must not be too smooth...
~
For dinner today, there were only Zhu Youtang, his father, and his mother.
Zhu Youtang was very happy, as if he had returned to his days in Anletang.
"Concubine, you look so beautiful today." He said happily.
Concubine Ji Shu was a little embarrassed and glanced at her son, "Nothing big or little."
"My son is right," Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "You look really good today, but you still have to dress up. You are just too casual."
Concubine Ji Shu nodded: "I have written it down."
"Okay, let's have a meal."
night.
Zhu Jianshen stayed in Concubine Ji Shu's bedroom as promised, but... the bedfellow did not enter.
It's not that he's not a womanizer, nor does he look down on Concubine Shu, but he knows that Concubine Shu is inconvenient.
It was rare to share the same bed, and Zhu Jianshen didn't want to neglect her, so he started talking...
It was still the same as before, he talked and she listened, occasionally saying a few words, but more often than not he was the one doing the talking.
She likes to hear...
~
Since the last time he used too much force, Zhu Jianshen's sense of proportion has become stricter. This not only makes the prince feel a certain sense of crisis, but he does not dare to go overboard. He always controls it within a certain range to achieve the purpose of spurring the prince.
The peaceful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the Chinese New Year again.
After a series of major actions such as the emperor clearing out redundant personnel, re-employing the Western Factory, cracking down on the smuggling trade with Japan, and returning the country to the countryside, the officials became honest.
We cannot tolerate their dishonesty. This Emperor Chenghua is difficult to fight, too difficult to fight.
Moreover, Emperor Chenghua always stood on the moral high ground. Whether it was clearing out redundant personnel in the bureaucracy, returning to rural areas, or cracking down on smuggling, he could not find fault.
The only way to find fault is to reuse Xichang.
However, now that Wang Zhi has become a supervisor, he no longer goes around investigating cases, so they have not been greatly affected.
Based on this, they did not impeach Xichang again because they were afraid of angering Emperor Chenghua and turned their guns on them again.
Being an official is not easy, so don't look for trouble.
Ming Dynasty has finally settled down...
Zhu Jianshen was well received and gave positive feedback. The red envelope given to him on the first day of the 15th year of Chenghua was thicker than that of the 14th year of Chenghua.
At the year-end meeting, he summarized the past, looked forward to the future, and even set a small goal——
Within three years, he was completely changed from a local official to a floating official!
This national policy can be said to benefit both civilian officials and military generals.
The reason is very simple. Civil servants are required to govern and educate chieftains, but the process of converting the chieftains back to their hometowns gave military generals the opportunity to perform meritorious service.
Therefore, this national policy is supported by both civil and military parties and is implemented very well.
With Wan'an as his boss in the cabinet, and Shang Lu as the person who handles practical matters, Zhu Jianshen's pressure was greatly reduced and he felt relaxed.
Ever since, he started the task of spreading the branches and leaves of the clan...
The effect was remarkable, and Concubine Chen became pregnant again.
This concubine is too ambitious. Not only is she pregnant, but she is also lucky. She will be a son throughout her life.
Not only Concubine Chen, Concubine Zhang also gave birth to twins and two princes as if she had cheated.
Zhu Jianshen gave a crooked smile: This is my true strength!
…
In the 18th year of Chenghua's reign, the reform of native land and returning to local people was fully promoted and implemented, and Zhu Jianshen began to implement another of his ambitions!
