Zhang Kuishan led hundreds of brocade guards to escort two carriages into the palace.

"Grandpa Zhao!" Zhang Kuishan arched his hand at Zhao Dequan, the chief eunuch who was coming on.

"Commander Zhang!" Zhao Dequan responded politely.

"Did the people bring it, the emperor is waiting inside, quickly bring people in to meet the emperor." Zhao Dequan glanced at the two carriages behind him and asked Zhang Kuishan.

Zhang Kuishan nodded, and invited the red lady and her two attendants to get off the carriage, while Dong Xiaowan and her maidservant in the other carriage were still in the carriage.

"This is the Red Lady? Didn't you say that the red lady was a woman? How is it a man? Zhao Dequan glanced at the red lady dressed as a man and said strangely.

"It's just a woman dressed as a man, and my father-in-law can see it if you look closely." Zhang Kuishan replied with a smile.

"I see." Zhao Dequan glanced at the red lady carefully, and nodded in realization.

"Hey, Commander Zhang, who is in the other carriage? Why don't you come down together? Zhao Dequan noticed another carriage, frowned, and asked strangely again.

Zhang Kuishan smiled, and whispered into Zhao Dequan's ear rather mysteriously: "There is a big beauty in that carriage, the emperor is very interested in her, and Zhao Gonggong must be well settled, and he must not be lazy." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Dequan's heart moved, he glanced at Dong Xiaowan's carriage and smiled ambiguously, and nodded understandingly.

"Father-in-law Zhao, take the red lady to see the emperor first, and I will hand it over to my father-in-law here." Zhang Kuishan said to Zhao Dequan, and then led the red lady towards the Qianqing Palace.

"Red Girl, please."

The red lady nodded, and after glancing at Dong Xiaowan's carriage worriedly, she sighed secretly and followed Zhang Kuishan towards the direction of Qianqing Palace. Although she didn't know what Zhang Kuishan had just said to the chief eunuch, but looking at the ambiguous smile of the chief eunuch, she had a faint bad premonition, afraid that she would really implicate Dong Xiaowan, but she didn't know whether it was Dong Xiaowan that Commander Zhang had taken a fancy to, or the emperor himself.

Thinking of this, the red lady shook her head, it shouldn't be the emperor himself, because as far as she knows, since the Ming Emperor came to Nanjing City to ascend the throne, except for the time of his personal expedition, he has hardly been out of the palace, and it is impossible to see Dong Xiaowan, besides, Dong Xiaowan was originally a famous prostitute in the Red Mansion, although she has been good and very beautiful, but how can she not be favored by the emperor, after all, as an emperor, what kind of woman does she want, how can she risk the opposition of hundreds of officials to provoke a Dong Xiaowan.

It is precisely because she doesn't know what is going on that the red lady is even more worried, and she has the heart to intercede for Dong Xiaowan, but she is now a prisoner herself, how to speak, thinking, it is better to wait until she sees the Ming Emperor first, and see how the situation is.

After Zhang Kuishan took the red lady into the Qianqing Palace, Zhao Dequan personally arranged Dong Xiaowan's master and servant to live in a side hall close to the Qianqing Palace, and arranged several palace maids to serve.

"Sure enough, it's a big beauty!" Before leaving, Zhao Dequan looked at Dong Xiaowan with a smile and praised it.

When Dong Xiaowan first got off the carriage, she was still a little confused, and after being invited to the room in the side hall, sitting on a stool, Dong Xiaowan gradually reacted.

Eyelashes trembled, blinking her beautiful eyes, Dong Xiaowan looked at this splendid palace and the luxurious furnishings in the room, and was suddenly shocked, and the jade hand grabbed the corner of the pale cyan clothes and asked the maid Qiao'er nervously: "Qiao'er, what kind of place is this, how did we get here." ”

"Ouch! My Miss" Qiao'er patted her forehead and said speechlessly: "This is the palace, Miss, are you scared stupid, why did you react now." ”

"The Imperial Palace!" Dong Xiaowan's mouth opened wide, she was frightened again, and bit her pink red lips: "Qiao'er, why were we brought here, who brought us in." ”

"Miss, Qiao'er doesn't know, but the person who brought us in seems to be called Commander Zhang, and he should be a big official." Qiao'er shook her head and thought for a moment.

Dong Xiaowan's face turned pale, and she muttered in despair: "Could it be that I, Dong Xiaowan, have worked so hard to get out of that place, and in the end I will inevitably become someone else's plaything?" ”

Dong Xiaowan immediately, her eyes were foggy, and tears gradually flowed, and her desperate appearance was pitiful.

The little maidservant girl immediately stepped forward to comfort her, and finally calmed Dong Xiaowan down.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Kuishan took the Red Lady to meet Zhu Cihong, only the Red Lady was alone, and her two attendants who were also dressed as men were left outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the red lady will bring it."

"The red lady meets the emperor." The red lady bowed.

I didn't want to bow down, but I thought that my father-in-law didn't know what to do, in order to avoid angering the Ming Emperor, the red lady tried her best to bow down and kneel on one knee to worship.

"Excuse me." Zhu Cihong handed the unfinished recital in his hand to Lan Xiang beside him, and sat up from the warm couch.

"Emperor Xie!" The red lady stood up.

"You are Li Yan's wife, the red lady?" Zhu Cihong carefully looked at the red lady who was dressed as a man, although the red lady was wearing men's clothes at the moment, and she had two beautiful mustaches, but Zhu Cihong knew that her woman would naturally not treat her as a man.

"Back to the emperor, it's the red lady." The red lady paused, reached out and tore off the two mustaches, and ripped off the crown of hair on her head, scattering her long hair, and restored her daughter's body.

"Sure enough, she is a heroic beauty, Li Yan can have a wife like you, it's rare!" Zhu Cihong nodded, smiled very mildly and praised it.

The red lady does look good, but the most rare thing is that she exudes a heroic posture and heroic spirit, this is like a woman who can fight on the battlefield, Zhu Cihong appreciates it very much, and is very happy, Daming can have Qin Liangyu, there will definitely be a red lady in the future, Zhu Cihong is very confident in subduing Li Yan and his wife, and it is imperative.

"Thank you for your praise." The red lady smiled heartily.

When Zhu Cihong looked at the Red Lady, the Red Lady was also looking at Zhu Cihong. Although I always knew that this Ming Emperor was still very young, but when I really saw Zhu Cihong in the bright yellow dragon robe, the red lady was still a little shocked.

I saw Zhu Cihong with a gentle smile on his face, full of stability, not at all like an emperor who was not yet sixteen years old. At the same time, the red lady knows her beauty, and she also knows that because of her perennial battles, she has a heroic spirit that other women do not have, and she is very tempting to men.

The red lady secretly admired, the Ming Emperor was not very old, and with this unusual stability, watching her recover her daughter's body, there was nothing wrong with her eyes, just appreciating, she was better than Li Zicheng and others, I don't know how many times.

The red lady was convinced, in fact, just now she deliberately restored her daughter's body without scruples in front of Zhu Cihong, that is, she had a little temptation of the Ming Emperor in it, and sure enough, the Ming Emperor was not a lustful mediocrity, and she was not disappointed.
