Chapter 942: Lu Zheng and the Imperial Concubine
Leaving the Lu family, Lu Zheng had nowhere to go.
He is a crown prince who cannot be ignored by anyone, and he is a distinguished guest wherever he goes.
However, at this time, after Gu Yao and Gu Jin left Beijing, he couldn't find a place to make his heart feel at ease.
Lu Zheng laughed at himself, saying that he didn't care about Lu Heng, but every time Lu Heng, the prince of Zhenguo, made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
The prince of Zhenguo looked at Lu Zheng who was riding on a horse and heading towards the palace, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a touch of contempt flashed in his eyes.
One day, he will let his father understand that the seed of evil is the seed of evil!
The only person who can inherit all the honors of the Lu family is him!
At the gate of the palace, there were several carriages side by side, and the little chamberlain carefully carried the cage to the carriage, and there was the leader of the eunuchs standing on the side, holding a booklet in his hand, counting everything, and urging in his mouth, "Slow down, slow down, if it is broken, you can't afford it, this is all rewarded by His Majesty to the Marquis of Yongle." ”
After Lu Zheng dismounted, he paused for a moment and visually inspected the number of cages.
Even if the fourth uncle is not in the capital, the reward is the only one among the courtiers, and it is more than the reward sent to the Zhenguo Mansion.
No wonder the recent rumors that Zhenguo Gong is not as favored as Yongle Hou have been noisy and spread very strongly.
provoked the eldest princess to sit still, and asked Zhenguo Gong to help the virtuous people.
"Say hello to Master Hou."
The attendants at the gate of the palace greeted Lu Zheng one after another.
"Your Majesty rewarded the Marquis of Yongle?"
"Yes."
The leader of the eunuchs felt Lu Zheng's gaze, and hurriedly handed over the booklet in his hand, "All of them are tributes for this year's tribute, there are a lot of food, drink, and play, and Your Majesty will only reward Yongle Hou alone." ”
Lu Zheng glanced at it quickly, even Zhen Guogong would be jealous.
He nodded, threw the booklet to the chief eunuch, and stepped into the palace.
Emperor Longqing has returned from the temple, Xu is abstinence in the temple for too long some time ago, after returning to the palace, Emperor Longqing is often nostalgic for the harem palace concubines, most of the day in the harem.
Lu Zheng was the only foreign minister who could go to the harem to see Emperor Longqing.
The eldest princess forced the town to rescue the talented people, and Lu Zheng thought that it would be better to make the talented people more sad!
If he is not happy, can he still make the virtuous and talented people live well?
After the salt tax silver was sent to the capital, Lord He and the others finally came up with a reward for Gu Siye.
The imperial court recognized Gu Siye's merits, Gu Jue was the one who gained the most, and he was already the same acquaintance of the Shenji Battalion, and he was only one step away from the commander of the Shenji Battalion!
It's hard to say that Lord He has no selfishness, and by the way, Gu Sanye's official position has also been promoted, and his authority in the Internal Affairs Office has also increased a little.
Lu Zheng thought that two days ago, he heard that many people went to congratulate Gu Sanye on his promotion, and the Gu family was very lively.
In order to reward Gu Siye, Lord He worked hard, and I heard that he lost a handful of hair for this.
When Gu Jin finishes investigating the matter of the river embankment, God willing, Lord He will not become bald!
Lu Zheng's somewhat gloomy mood gradually brightened, and Gu Yao made his whole heart sweet.
Yaoyao's relatives made him feel happy.
Lu Zheng has the right to enter the harem, but he can't take a sedan chair in the harem, which is the prerogative of the imperial concubine.
Sixteen people carried a sedan chair, followed by more than a dozen palace maids, and the imperial concubine's sedan chair stopped in front of Lu Zheng.
The imperial concubine let people get off the sedan chair, and she helped the palace maid out of the sedan chair.
The years seem to favor her very much, her face is still the same, and her figure is as slender as a girl.
Her penny is beautiful and graceful.
Lu Zheng still remembers that when he entered the palace at a young age, the imperial concubine was gentle and gentle, and at that time, Lu Heng, the prince of Zhenguo, put the imperial concubine's father in prison.
But the imperial concubine still took care of him very dedicatedly, and never allowed others to talk about his identity as the emperor's illegitimate son.
The days spent in the palace of the imperial concubine were the most quiet and comfortable period of Lu Zheng's life in the palace.
Later, Concubine De was favored, and the imperial concubine was sick, so he moved out of the imperial concubine's palace.
But he didn't let Concubine De take care of him anymore, Lu Zheng was directly taken to Emperor Longqing's side, and was raised and taught by the emperor himself.
"Lord Lu, can you accompany this palace for a walk?"
"It's good that this palace has raised and taken care of you for a while, and Hou Ye Lu doesn't miss the old feelings so much?"
The incense fan in the imperial concubine's hand shook lightly, and said lightly: "This palace also has a reward for Mrs. Yongle Hou, and I also want to give Miss Gu a dowry, but I don't know what Miss Gu likes?" ”
"Your Majesty is in Cuipingxuan, if you go over at this time, it will only ruin Your Majesty's interest."
She walked out a few steps first, looked back and smiled: "The new talents who have entered the palace are particularly loved by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has been resting in Cuiping Xuan for the past two days. ”
Lu Zheng hasn't paid much attention to Emperor Longqing in recent days.
He is half a step behind the imperial concubine, and the two of them are one after the other, and they will not look very rusty if they are not close.
"In two days, the palace plans to summon Mrs. Yongle Hou into the palace."
The imperial concubine heard Lu Zheng's breath stagnate, "What? Aren't you happy? ”
"You shouldn't involve innocent people in the harem anymore, Your Majesty has issued a clear decree that foreign women are not allowed to enter the palace."
Lu Zheng knows very well how serious Emperor Longqing's facial syndrome is, and he really doesn't like Mrs. Li now, but let Emperor Longqing see a woman who can remember, who can guarantee that Emperor Longqing will not think otherwise?
He didn't want his future mother-in-law to have anything to do with Emperor Longqing.
The imperial concubine smiled: "The daughter-in-law has not yet married into the door, so she has begun to protect her mother-in-law?" Lu Zheng, do you know your mother-in-law's strength? ”
"Your aunt and I have been trapped by love and can't help ourselves, but Mrs. Yongle Hou is not as good as us, and her knowledge back then is not as good as ours, and she has no talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she can always take me as the mainstay, and the person who really makes the choice is never Your Majesty, but Li Yueniang!"
Lu Zheng: "......"
I heard the irrepressible resentment of the imperial concubine.
"With the flick of her fingers, more than ten years have passed, and she is now smarter and more transparent than before, but this palace found ......"
The imperial concubine looked particularly cheerful, and the smug energy seemed to be a child who had been waiting for a long-awaited treasure, pure happiness.
"She's going to be emotional, too! She didn't hide from it in the end. ”
The rising tail note is enough to show the schadenfreude of the imperial concubine.
Lu Zheng subconsciously replied: "Mrs. Li is emotionally attached to the fourth uncle, and she will still put herself and her children before the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle doesn't say anything, he is deeper than Mrs. Li, Yaoyao said, whoever is emotional first and who falls deeper will lose the initiative." ”
The imperial concubine pursed the corners of her stiff mouth, and her smile faded a little.
"The fourth uncle is out of the house, and he has never touched any woman, and he has refused gifts from many local officials, he said that he doesn't like fakes! The group of officials who took great pains to please the fourth uncle all touched their noses, and they looked down on the fourth uncle by pretending to be smart. ”
Imperial Concubine: "...... Lu Zheng, you talk like this, didn't Gu Yao beat you? ”
