Chapter 28 Chapter 133 Women really hold up half the sky

Zhu Di returned to the harem with a heavy heart. Although he has several young and beautiful concubines, he still likes to come to the queen's bedroom when he has worries. Only here can he relax and rest. Zhu Di came to Kunning Palace, before he entered the palace, he heard a burst of laughter, childish and innocent, very lively, he couldn't help but frowned, knowing that it was his grandson who came.Zhu Gaochi and his wife often brought their son to the harem to pay their respects. Every time they would sit for a while, talk and chat with their mother, but the eldest son probably received more reprimands since childhood. Zhu Gaochi was more afraid of his father. Become dull.

The old son, the eldest grandson, this is what the old people love the most. Zhu Zhanji is not only beautiful, but also smart and sensible, especially to please Zhu Di. When the eldest grandson comes, Zhu Di's mood is much better. He hasn't entered yet. , the lines on the face have been softened. Daughter-in-law has seen her father! When the crown prince Zhang saw Zhu Di coming in, she rushed forward to salute Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji also ran over bouncingly, took his hand and said sweetly: "Grandpa, hello, hug, grandpa!" Well, well, grandpa hug! Zhu Di beamed, picked up his eldest grandson, and said to Zhang: "Get up, how many times have I told you, my family, don't be so formal in the harem!"

It sounded like criticism, but his demeanor was pleasant. Although Zhu Di didn't think much of his eldest son, he liked his eldest daughter-in-law and grandson very much.Ms. Zhang is the daughter of Commander Zhang Qicheng, Marquis of Pengcheng. She is intelligent and virtuous, treats people with kindness, and behaves dignifiedly. She is especially filial to the elderly. Her filial piety comes from the heart and is not pretentious. She is very popular with Zhu Di and Empress Xu. This Zhang family, in the original history, went through Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and the orthodox six dynasties, from a folk woman to a concubine, a concubine, and then to a queen, empress dowager, and empress dowager. She is kind and strict to her children, strictly controls her natal family, is a good wife and mother at home, and a generation of virtuous queens in the court. During her lifetime, the great eunuch Wang Zhen was afraid of her prestige and seriousness, and never dared to participate in politics. Evaluated as the female middle school Yao Shun.

Such a daughter-in-law, Zhu Di and Empress Xu naturally have nothing to choose. As soon as Zhu Di looked up, he saw Ming'er again, and couldn't help showing his face: Ming'er is here too, but you haven't come for a while, even though you're pregnant, it's good to move around, your sister has always missed you very much. As he said that, Zhu Di's eyes moved to his queen's face, and he couldn't help being startled when he saw it.He and Empress Xu have been husband and wife for many years, and they have always been in love. He can tell at a glance if there is something strange about his beloved wife. Although Empress Xu also has a smile on her face, he can see her strong face with just one glance. Laughing, her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be faint traces of tears.

As soon as Zhu Di's heart moved, he became suspicious, but it was hard to ask what happened in front of Ming'er and his daughter-in-law. Zhu Zhanji was held in his arms, playing with his beard, and twisting his face like asking him to tell him a story about the war. Zhu Di couldn't stand it, so he had to sit down with him in his arms, and told a story about how he fought outside the Great Wall. Zhu Zhanji applauded the story of Hu Chief Bolin Timur being captured alive in a battle in Checheer. But after all, the child is immature, and after hearing a story, he can't stay still anymore, and pesters his aunt Ming'er to accompany him to go fishing.

Zhu Di couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing: You naughty boy, Baoqing has grown up, and if you don't come to harm my goldfish, now it's you again.As soon as you come, grandpa's fish will suffer, hehe, go ahead, watch him, children are naughty, don't fall into the pond. Ming'er agreed with a smile, and took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and left. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly got up and said, "Father, Aunt Ming is pregnant, and my daughter-in-law is worried, so let's take care of her." Zhu Di said ah, slapped his forehead and said: Yes, yes, I forgot about this, now Ming'er is also a person who needs to be taken care of by others, well, you can go and take care of her!

Mrs. Zhang agreed and left slowly. Zhu Di leaned on his knees and cast a sidelong glance at Empress Xu. Empress Xu happened to turn her head, as if she was going to serve tea, and coincidentally avoided his gaze. Zhu Di waved his hand, and all the maids and servants in the palace saluted lightly, and all retreated. Zhu Di coughed and asked with concern: Do you have something on your mind? Empress Xu's hand just touched the teacup, she trembled when she heard it, she quickly shook her head and said: "I don't have anything on my mind, Your Majesty, don't be suspicious."

Zhu Di shook his head and said: Queen, how many years have you and I been married?Do you have something on your mind, I don't know yet? He walked over, gently folded Empress Xu's hand between his own, and said softly: "You have not been in good health for the past few years, and once you have a headache, you will be in unbearable pain, so you can't think too deeply!"You are the queen of the world, what else in the world can make you troubled?If you have something difficult to resolve, just tell me and listen! Empress Xu avoided his gaze, gently withdrew her hand and said: It's really nothing, just seeing that her grandson is already so old, and remembering that when the three brothers Gao Chi, Gao Xu, and Gao Sui were also at the same age, Playing together in the palace all day long, like mud monkeys, you get angry, the three brothers defend each other, brothers respect each other, they are so loving, I suddenly feel touched.

With a flash in Zhu Di's eyes, he faintly understood, and he couldn't help but ask solemnly: Does the queen have any thoughts on the matter of opposing Chu? Empress Xu hurriedly left her seat, and said in a respectful voice: "You are not allowed to engage in government affairs in the harem. This is the emperor's testament. How dare I disobey it."The concubine really does not want to participate in state affairs, nor does she dare to intervene, but the three sons are all the concubine's own flesh and blood. Regarding state affairs, the concubine does not dare to participate, but thinking about family affairs, I can't help but worry

Zhu Di didn't understand, so he frowned and said, "Why can't I understand what the queen is going to say?" Empress Xu hesitated to speak, but Zhu Di said displeasedly: Empress!You are Zhu Di's bedside person, a couple who have been together for a lifetime, is there anything you can't say? When Empress Xu heard this, two lines of hot tears suddenly flowed down. She took off her skirt, knelt down in front of Zhu Di, and said with tears streaming down her face: I have promised myself to the emperor, and I have never asked for anything.Today, there are only you and me here, and I have something to ask, I implore the emperor to read the love between you and me as husband and wife, and you must agree to me!

Zhu Di was very surprised. Seeing his beloved wife crying sadly, he was very distressed. He hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said repeatedly: "Queen, get up quickly, you and I, husband and wife, why can't we discuss things? Why are you still doing such a great gift? Get up, get up quickly." ! Empress Xu shook her head, her expression even more mournful. I just want to ask the emperor one thing! Zhu Di couldn't help her, so he said repeatedly: "You tell me, why bother to make such a gesture." Empress Xu said: "Establishing a reserve is a major national event. I am a woman and dare not interfere."The three sons are all born to my concubine, and I can't say that I am partial to anyone. As a mother, I only hope that my children will be peaceful and happy, and I will be content with Ankang for a lifetime.No matter which child the emperor chooses to be the prince, he must have the emperor's consideration. Zhu Di was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and said repeatedly: "Queen, tell me, just say it, I don't blame you, I don't blame you at all." Empress Xu said in a quiet voice: I have had headaches for the past few years, and it has become more and more serious. I have invited many famous doctors, and I have taken many prescriptions, but there is no effect. I am worried that I will not be able to serve the emperor for too long, let alone take care of him all the time. Since I have our child, I want to beg the emperor, if the emperor makes our eldest son the crown prince, then that's all. Gao Chi is kind and caring, and always loves his younger brother, so that it will not cause any human tragedy.But the two children Gao Xu and Gao Sui Empress Xu sighed softly, and said with tears: Gao Chi is your eldest son. Since Zhou Gong established the ceremony, all dynasties have established heirs. Now the emperor is worried about Gao Chi's body. It's okay if you choose Gao Xu. I'm afraid that in Gao Xu's heart, it will be a disease after all.Since they gradually understood the truth, their brotherhood has gradually weakened. After several years of experience in the army, the murderous spirit has accumulated, and the brotherhood is even more worrying. Once Gao Xu ascends the throne, he will definitely not tolerate his elder brother who threatens his throne. , and I can't tolerate Zhanji, a child. Seeing Zhanji's carefree appearance at that time and today, I feel emotionally and emotionally, so I feel sad.The concubine only hopes that if the emperor chooses Gao Xu, then no matter what, he can think of a way to resettle Gao Chi's family, or seal the feudal state and keep them away from the Central Plains, or alas!The concubine's body and mind are in disarray, and she can't think of a wise view of a woman's view, but I hope the emperor will keep this worry in mind! Empress Xu really revealed her true feelings, not because she listened to what Ming'er and Mrs. Zhang said, and launched a tearful attack on her husband on purpose, but because Ming'er's words really moved her.Knowing the children is better than the mother, she knows the temperament of the three sons, so she deeply agrees with what the younger sister said. If it comes to such a time, such a tragedy in the world is not very likely to happen, but will definitely happen, so she shed tears Come. Hearing the empress' concerns, Zhu Di blurted out and wanted to say: They were born of the same mother, and they were of the same flesh and blood. Swallowed it back. With his own will, can Gao Xu be his emperor with peace of mind?Zhu Yunxi wanted soldiers but no soldiers, no money, no power, and he had never even touched the side of the prince. Now he is locked up in Fengyang High Prison, and sent to be strictly guarded, and he is not allowed to contact anyone ?Gao Xu's elder brother is there, he once competed with him for the throne, and has been supported by so many courtiers, can Gao Xu really feel at ease? And with Gao Xu's temperament, once he became the emperor, would he care about brotherhood? Zhu Di unexpectedly remembered the scene that happened in the army back then: Fang Xiaoru resorted to countermeasures, pretending to instigate against the son, but in fact wanted to use his hands to get rid of Gao Chi, and he asked Gao Xu about Gao Chi's hostage in Nanjing. His performance, Gao Xu's words, a chill can't help but hit his heart Ming'er and Mrs. Zhang accompanied Zhu Zhanji to play by the pool. The fishing rod used by children was simple, but the fish in the pond were easy to hook, and they could catch one quickly, which made Zhu Zhanji lose the fishing rod. As if afraid that the fish would escape, he rushed towards him and hugged the fish in his arms, jumping up and down with joy, the cute appearance made Ming'er and Zhang Shi couldn't help covering their mouths. While having fun, Ming'er suddenly felt something. Looking back, she saw Zhu Di standing quietly under the corridor of the palace, looking at them from a distance. The meaning of depression, even if it is far away, it still rushes to the face
