Chapter 118: Concubine Zheng's Conspiracy (2/10)
But said that the emperor arrived at Changchun Palace, but he didn't see Concubine Zheng come out to greet him, you know, he didn't hide his figure, Luan was outside, such a big movement, shouldn't be inaudible!
With doubts in his heart, Zhu Yijun went straight into the warm pavilion, but saw Concubine Zheng kneeling on the futon, holding Buddhist beads, and in front of her was a white jade Guanyin, with words in her mouth, and did not notice his arrival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is praying for the blessing of the Queen Mother......"
Concubine Zheng didn't see it, but the two maids behind her turned around and saluted, and said in a low voice.
"Go down first!"
The palace maid led by Zhu Yijun was a little familiar to him, he didn't want to be transferred to Concubine Zheng's side, but when he saw that Concubine Zheng liked her, he put out his mind, and when she saw the emperor waving her hand, she was very discerning and retreated, but when she left, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.
Zhu Yijun found a place to sit next to Concubine Zheng and did not disturb her, until Concubine Zheng finished chanting and opened her eyes, only to find that the emperor was looking at her with interest from the side.
"Your Majesty, why are you here! These girls don't call me a word! ”
Turning his head to look around, he found that Zhu Yijun was the only one in the room, Zheng immediately understood everything, his tone was slightly disgusted, and then he got up and saluted.
"The most important thing in chanting is sincerity, how can you be disturbed!"
Holding Zheng's hand and sitting down, Zhu Yijun smiled and said.
He knew that Concubine Zheng believed in Buddhism, and he also knew that this warm pavilion should be a white jade Guanyin, but Concubine Zheng's behavior of praying for the Queen Mother today really gave him a new understanding of Concubine Zheng.
This can be seen from just now, if other concubines see that the emperor has been left out in the cold for so long, which one is not sincerely afraid of apologizing, and there are really few people like Concubine Zheng who still have the heart to blame the palace maid!
However, it is precisely because of such a deviant personality that she is not liked by the Queen Mother, Zhu Yijun sighed secretly, if Concubine Zheng also knew how to please her mother so much before, why would he be caught in the middle for so many years......
"I think my mother would be happy if she knew that you prayed for her so sincerely, counting the days, your grounding time is not short, I will find an opportunity to intercede with my mother in the next few days and lift your grounding!"
As soon as he was happy in his heart, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said.
You must know that Concubine Zheng's grounding this time was announced by Empress Dowager Li in public, so even Zhu Yijun didn't dare to cut corners, after all, it was not his turn to call the shots in this harem.
Now seeing Concubine Zheng so deferential, Zhu Yijun's heart began to live again.
"Thank you to the emperor, but the concubines pray for the queen mother, not to deceive the emperor to lift the ban for the concubines, but sincerely want to get along with the queen mother, so that the emperor will be less embarrassed!"
Concubine Zheng raised her head and said proudly.
But in an instant, as if he remembered something, Zheng's mood suddenly fell and he spoke.
"It's a pity ......"
Then he sighed, silently did not speak, and there was a lonely breath all over his body, which suddenly made Zhu Yijun feel distressed.
"What a pity? If you are bored in this palace, how about I go to my mother tomorrow and lift your grounding? ”
Zheng's eyes lit up, but even if it was dark, he turned around and said angrily.
"How could the emperor touch this nail, the reform is just coaxing the concubines, I'm afraid I will forget it when I turn my head!"
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, knowing that the Zheng family was playing petty again, but he still ate this set, so he had to be patient and continue.
"Concubine Ai laughed, when did I lie to you? What I promised, when did I not do it! ”
Well, as the king of a country, Zhu Yijun did have the confidence to say this, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it......
Zheng is a woman who knows how to measure, she rarely makes requests, and basically Zhu Yijun will meet the requirements she makes, and she can meet them, except for ......
"Your Majesty, has it been possible that you have forgotten the alliance of brocade boxes? Now the brocade box is still there, and Chang Xun is already eight years old, but what His Majesty promised has not been realized until now! ”
Zhu Yijun's old face turned red, but he had nothing to say.
This matter is indeed his fault, when Concubine Zheng gave birth to a daughter in the first child, he was very disappointed, and when she had the second child, she was not very interested and depressed, so in order to comfort her, Zhu Yijun didn't think much about it, so she promised Concubine Zheng that if she gave birth to a prince this time, she would be the prince, and she also set up a sentence and locked it in the brocade box.
That child was Zhu Changxun, at that time, Zhu Yijun had just been in power, and he didn't realize how troublesome the matter he promised was, and it wasn't until the ministers reacted so strongly that he understood how serious the matter was.
But it's hard to collect the water, and the words are all spoken, what can he do?
Jun has no jokes, is it difficult for him to admit to his own woman that he can't do it? The dignified son of tomorrow, he can't even decide his heir?
Zhu Yijun felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he kept in a stalemate with the ministers, and it was eight years like this! So far, there has been no result......
So when it comes to this, Zhu Yijun always can't help but feel embarrassed.
"Actually...... The concubines are not to blame the emperor! ”
Concubine Zheng is not a brainless woman, so she naturally knows that the heat should not be excessive, so she sighed faintly and continued to speak.
"Although this is the emperor's heir, the opinions of the courtiers should be taken into account, and the concubines also understand this, but Your Majesty, look at what Chang Luo has done since the child left the palace, Jing Concubine was born in Gyeongbok Palace, and repeatedly offended the concubines, saying that there was no Chang Luo's instructions behind it, do you believe it? For the sake of her lost son, the concubines didn't care about the concubines, and they stayed in the Changchun Palace.
But who would have thought that Chang Luo would not let go of the concubines, first slandered the nephews and uncles of the concubines, and bewitched the queen mother, and even the concubines were grounded in the palace, how could the concubines not feel wronged! ”
In these words, there is indeed no tone of blame, as if it is just a simple complaint and complaint.
But this behavior is the most effective.
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, but when he thought of the stubborn ministers of the foreign court, his anger suddenly leaked half, and now Zhu Changluo didn't make any mistakes, let alone punish him, even if he wanted to hold Zhu Changxun, he would be impeached by a bunch of people, which is also the reason why he has not let Concubine Zheng out, and it is not so easy to suppress the discussion between the government and the opposition.
So for Concubine Zheng's complaints, he could only smile bitterly......
"I don't want to punish this lawless boy, but he is very slippery, I can't hold his handle, how can I avenge you!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Concubine Zheng's eyes, and she knew that the time was almost up, so she was stunned for a moment before she spoke.
"In this case, Your Majesty might as well drive him out of the distance, if he is not in the capital, the life of the concubine will be better, not to mention that this vassal king vassal king, how can he be called the vassal king?" (To be continued.) )
