"The inner court of our Zhu family?" Zhu Youxiao repeated these words in a whisper, suddenly showing a somewhat sarcastic smile.
The young prince raised his head and looked towards the numerous palaces to the west.
He was silent for a moment and then murmured: "Master, do you know that in our Zhu family's inner court, the one who loves me the most is Auntie Ke."
Zheng Haizhu was stunned.
This carpenter emperor, who was criticized a lot by later generations, lacked the cold and cold nature of male animals. He was really a double-edged sword.
Let’s see how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and select the best and eliminate the worst.
Zheng Haizhu followed the prince's gaze and looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace, sighed quietly, and adjusted her words in time.
"Keshi loves you more than his own son. I believe this, but so what? Your Highness, on the first day of my talk, I dealt with you as a wet nurse for several rounds, and I felt that she loved you. , still like a female cat to a milk cat, wishing they could never leave each other, wishing they could follow your eyes wherever you look, where your butt sits, when you drink tea, when you eat milk, and when you can return to the dormitory from the Wenhua Hall. Follow her wishes."
When Zhu Youxiao heard about "eating milk skin", he recalled that he was quite intolerant of guests at that time. It was true, as Master Zheng said.
Zheng Haizhu's eyes fell almost at the same time as Zhu Youxiao's, and they touched each other, but at this moment, the female master raised her chin slightly and took a few steps back magnanimously.
"Your Highness, you have grown up. Even Sun Hanlin, Xu Hanlin and I, who are masters, cannot even think of giving you advice! You can't just be a good boy of the wet nurse, nor can you just be a good disciple of our master. . Your Highness, you will be the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, and you will be the husband of any lady in the future. More importantly, you should be yourself."
Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes slightly confused.
The emperor's father reprimanded him and his younger brother Youjian to obey their masters, but what Master Zheng said today was different.
The young man then lowered his fisted hands, which made him less tense and tense like a small beast a moment ago.
Zheng Haizhu's tone became more and more kind: "Your Highness, if we talk about the deep love for licking calves, wouldn't Long Live Lord love you anymore? That day he specifically told me to repair the turtle boat you made, and he would put it on the dry In the Imperial Study Room of the Qing Palace."
The curvature of the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth suddenly changed, and a flash of light flashed in his pupils.
Zheng Haizhu felt that if he continued to use mind-attacking techniques, it would go too far, so he decided to stop and said with a relieved smile: "Master Sun should still be talking about the Analects of Confucius in Wenhua Hall today. Confucius said, don't worry about what others don't know, worry about what you don't know. I don’t know. No matter how well the sages said it, Master Sun’s explanation must be even better. Your Highness, don’t miss classes anymore.”
Zhu Youxiao avoided the gaze of his teacher, his Adam's apple was obviously protruding. As if he still needed to think about what he wanted to say, he bowed to Zheng Haizhu as a student, and turned to the pavilion. Look at the little self-ringing bell in the middle.
…
Two hours later, Cao Huachun got into his carriage while staring at Zheng Haizhu's two female assistants at Donghua Gate, and then hurried back to the vicinity of Ciqing Palace.
He led Zheng Haizhu and walked close to the easternmost wall of the imperial city, thinking silently in his heart: "The sky is spirited and the earth is spirited. All empresses named Wang in the sky must show their spirits. Those who should be in Yikun Palace are in Yikun Palace, and those who should be in Yikun Palace are in Yikun Palace. The ones from Kunning Palace are in Kunning Palace! Don’t bump into us, don’t bump into us.”
Zheng Haizhu looked sideways at him and comforted him with a smile: "Eunuch Cao, don't be so nervous. When we were fighting the Tatars in Liaodong, I heard that the generals were fishing leisurely before the war."
Cao Huachun was sent on a secret mission by Wang An today, and he would not treat Zheng Haizhu as an outsider.
He made a "cough" sound, pursed his lips and said softly: "Mrs. Zheng, if I don't want to be embarrassed, if Cao had to kill his son and beg for food in the Forbidden City, he would rather go to the border to fight the Tatars." .You have no idea how difficult it is to deal with these women in the Forbidden City."
"Okay, they are all pitiful people. Besides, the current Long Live Lord's mother and wife, the two queens, aren't you still talking about making amulets?"
Cao Huachun sighed: "Those two empresses are really kind and kind people. Alas, they returned to the West early because they were not ruthless enough and had no skills."
Zheng Haizhu said: "My father-in-law, for the sake of the prince and myself, we must be careful of the villains around us. The eldest son of the emperor's eldest companion, Wei Jinzhong, must be more careful."
Cao Huachun rolled his eyes: "Madam also knows about him? Has he brought misfortune to Madam by acting as a nanny for a guest?"
Zheng Haizhu said: "That's not true. But I met him before in Tongzhou because of Huangzhuang's invasion of land. He is a slippery man, he has the power of the city, and his brain is not stupid. Eunuch Cao, Wei Jinzhong is not Concubine Zheng's. , let alone Donglin allies like you, in my opinion, he should stand on his own, squeeze out the princes, and become the second Liu Jin."
Cao Huachun was able to be favored and trained by Wang An, and the holes in his heart naturally disappeared. He understood that Zheng Haizhu could only be the prince's lecturer because of Wang An's kind words in front of the emperor. This time, Ke Yinyue was kicked out of the palace. Wei Jinzhong must have held back his anger and hated Wang An even more.
Cao Huachun then said meaningfully: "Thank you madam for the tip. Cao will definitely keep an eye on Wei Jinzhong for his godfather."
The two of them murmured to each other, but they were really lucky and didn't encounter the concubine or Da Xun along the way, so they turned into the antique house in the north corner of Dongwu House without any problems.
In the majestic Forbidden City with nine palaces and ten miles of terraces, the small antique house seemed remote and secretive. Under the sunlight of this late afternoon day, it still showed a somewhat deep and desolate atmosphere.
Cao Huachun turned to Zheng Haizhu and whispered: "Madam, do you understand why Eunuch Wang arranged this time?"
"Well, it would be a little strange if Long Live Lord came later. In the afternoon, it's rare to be interested and come over to take a look. Besides, Concubine Zheng and Xili should be taking a nap at this time, right?"
Cao Huachun raised his thumb and waved to the two young eunuchs who had been waiting here to pick him up, while he led Zheng Haizhu up the steps.
The door of the room opened immediately, and those waiting inside were not the chamberlains, but four imperial guards.
"Open the box and put the people out." Cao Huachun ordered.
The Imperial Army did as they were told, and in a moment, two men in gray were dragged out of the big box in the corner of the room and thrown to the ground.
The two were prisoners on death row in the Ministry of Punishment. They escaped when the new king came to the throne and granted amnesty.
Wang Wenyan had listened to Zheng Haizhu's suggestion before, and when he went to choose test subjects, Zheng Haizhu specifically mentioned that two people who had committed rape were easy to become addicted to sex and deserved it.
Wang Wenyan understood, and then lamented that this woman knew right from wrong very clearly, and at this time she did not want to hurt those prisoners whose crimes were not against the laws of nature and human ethics.
At this moment, Zheng Haizhu went up to inspect the two men whose mouths were gagged with cloth strips.
They were in their thirties, relatively strong, but their faces were not very human. Even under the golden and warm autumn sun shining through the window, they were still dark and gloomy, with black bags under their eyes.
What's even more disgusting is the stench coming from their bodies.
Several Imperial Guards turned away in disgust.
Zheng Haizhu commented expressionlessly: "It's not urine, it's feces. It only took a few hours to bring it in, right? It's like this. If the amount of afurong is increased, it is an aphrodisiac. If the amount is suddenly reduced, it will be a laxative more powerful than croton." "
Cao Huachun was also a little surprised. Just when he was about to answer, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. He turned around, took a look, and knelt down.
"Long live the Lord is here, long live the Lord be well."
