Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 375
Zhu Yan's death actually had a limited impact on the Ming Dynasty Hall, but had a greater impact on the clan.

Many people are watching eagerly, but judging from the current situation, some small thoughts of the clan may be difficult to achieve.Although King Jin Gong was gone, he didn't change the mind of the current emperor, and the Supreme Emperor didn't want to "turn the tide" either.

Xu Miaoqing is relatively calm at this time. Many princesses or princes who are not yet grown up in the harem want to go to the Qianqing Palace, including the prince who has already left to start a mansion. At this time, they also want to see Lao Zhu.

It's not about worrying that the Supreme Emperor will be put under house arrest by the emperor Zhu Yunying, but simply wanting to be filial, or to show a little bit at this time, to strive for more favors in front of Lao Zhu. The essential.

For example, Princess Ningguo and Princess Anqing, the two daughters-in-law are naturally easy to talk about, and they brought Lao Zhu's grandson into the palace to pay their respects.Zhu Xi also entered the palace obediently. As Zhu Biao's first daughter and Zhu Yunying's younger sister, she naturally had the dignity she should have.

As for the other concubines, although some of Lao Zhu's concubines are gone, there were 24 concubines at one time.It is impossible to see Lao Zhu, and even some concubines gave birth to Lao Zhu's children, and those who are not favored can't see Lao Zhu, which is almost the same as being thrown into the cold palace.

Now, if you want to see Lao Zhu, or ask Lao Zhu when he is sick or sad, you need Queen Xu Miaoqing's permission.

Regardless of seniority, these concubines cannot be regarded as Lao Zhu's "wives" or members of Lao Zhu's family. In Lao Zhu's eyes, they are equivalent to reproductive machines. This is the reality.

Just like some wealthy families, the status of those concubines is not high.There may be some glory and wealth, but don't expect to have any family status or social status. Some things are clearly decided from the beginning.

For example, Xu Miaoqing didn't pay attention to Concubine De Wang's.As for Wang's desire to overwhelm Lian Qiongqiong, it is probably because she gave birth to a son for Zhu Yunying, thinking that she can be more expensive than a mother.After all, the weight of the prince is still greater than that of the princess.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has gone to the Imperial Concubine's side." The female officer said while combing Xu Miaoqing's hair, "The Imperial Concubine sent someone over, saying that the person serving His Highness the Crown Prince will go there."

Xu Miaoqing nodded slightly, and said, "Then let people pass by, and keep an eye on the prince's entrance."

Although Lian Qiongqiong only gave birth to a daughter, it doesn't mean that Xu Miaoqing is not careful.Although she has a special status and a stable position, it's just that there is nothing wrong with being careful about some things.She doesn't need to worry about Zhu Yunying's other concubines 'rebelling', it's just something related to the country, so naturally she can't be sloppy.

The female officer continued, "Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Dading, and Concubine Zhao Gui have also sent people over. They want to go to the Supreme Emperor to pay their respects."

"Let someone tell Shuangquan that the Supreme Emperor will see you if he wants to." Xu Miaoqing said calmly, "I called Ruyu's wife and daughter into the palace. I want to see you in this palace. King Xu, Queen Mother Heng, and Princess Xu are also welcome. Come here together and call into the palace too."

This matter really needs to be taken seriously. After all, she is also the emperor's wife, and Xu Miaoqing should decide some things.

Lu Shi has been honest for a long time now, and she still had some unrealistic fantasies in the past.It's just that she has been honest a lot due to the continuous blows over the years.After Zhu Biao passed away, she was extremely responsible, and now she is guarding her three sons.

After being summoned by Xu Miaoqing, Mrs. Lu came over immediately, not daring to be sloppy.

When Da Zhu was around, the Lu family could still imagine that she would be a queen after Da Zhu ascended the throne. After all, it couldn't be that there would be no queen forever.Even if it is the Chang family, they can only be named queens. There should be queens in the Ming Dynasty.

But Da Zhu is gone, and Lu's family can only be the "first emperor's side concubine". In the future, she will not even be able to enter the Zhu family's ancestral hall. She is not a legitimate "wife". Her status has been clearly defined as a "concubine".

Arriving at the Hall of Spring Harmony, Mrs. Lu felt sore.This is the place she used to live in, and it is extremely familiar, but now, it can only be said to be familiar and unfamiliar.

The location and pattern of the palace have not changed much, but this is now the emperor's bedroom, and some regulations have changed, not just the East Palace.

"The concubine Lu paid her respects to Her Majesty the Empress, and met Her Majesty the Eldest Princess."

"Sister-in-law Ma visited His Highness Zunsister-in-Law Empress and met His Royal Highness Eldest Princess.

Xu Miaoqing showed a gentle smile, "There is no need to be too polite, we are all family."

These are polite words, and such politeness represents a kind of alienation.Lu Shi and Ma Shi are very clear that their status is rather embarrassing.Especially the Lu family, who was even more awkward when he saw Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi didn't bother to say hello to Mrs. Lu, but said to Mrs. Ma, "Okay, I will come and walk around often in the future. Speaking of which, Prince Xu's Mansion and Princess Mansion are also close, so I will come and walk around more often in the future. If the imperial sister-in-law is in the palace, if you don't Come on, outsiders are afraid to say that Brother Huang treated Xu Wang harshly."

This meant something, Madam Ma quickly knelt down, "What the eldest princess taught me is that the concubine knows her mistakes."

Lu's heart was sour, if her son became the emperor, people like Zhu Xi would just let her handle it.But now it was Zhu Yunying who was sitting on the dragon chair, and her daughter-in-law could only be cautious.In front of the princess, the majestic Princess Xu can only lie down and be small.

Xu Miaoqing smiled and smoothed things over and said, "I called you here this time to talk about Prince Heng's marriage proposal. His Majesty intends to marry Ru Yu's second daughter. You are the mother and sister-in-law of Prince Heng, and you should know about these things."

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "His Royal Highness, Ru Yu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a scholarly family, so the family style is naturally good."

"You mean it's not good for our royal brother to point out marriage?" Zhu Xi is not used to the Lu family, she still remembers a series of small actions of the Lu family in those years, "The imperial brother cares about the brotherhood and takes care of King Heng, don't you want to?" A woman's opinion!"

The Lu family realized immediately that she was only the mother of Prince Heng Zhu Yunxi. "Mother concubine" is not even counted, because Zhu Yunxi's mother concubine can only be Chang's.Including Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, their "real mother" has and can only be the Chang family!

Looking at the embarrassing and begging Lu family, Xu Miaoqing smoothed things over and said, "Don't worry too much. After all, King Heng is the fourth son of the late emperor and His Majesty's younger brother. He should be married if he should be married. Ru's second daughter, Ben Gong, also met her. , quite gentle and skillful, and a good match for Prince Heng."

Let Lu Shi and Ma Shi know about these things, it is to give them face, and if you let them know, it is definitely not their turn to make decisions.This is something that Zhu Yunying should decide, not only because Zhu Yunying is the emperor, but also his elder brother.

Zhu Xi also said at this time, "The five-year-old is about the same age, and I will ask him to write a booklet and ask him to return to Fengyang to observe his ancestors."

The Lu family became excited all of a sudden, returning to Fengyang's hometown may be sent to the high wall.But more, when the princes and grandsons of the right age returned to their hometowns to observe their ancestral business, and then returned to Yingtian Mansion, they would basically be canonized.

Zhu Yunxi's age is almost at the age of becoming a king, and it seems that the emperor intends to become a king.Although it may not be a "heavy number", Lu's heart has long since given up.Even if her eldest son became the emperor, at most her second and third sons would be named princes in a richer place.

It's a pity that today's emperor is no longer entrusted with land, so he can only nest in Yingtian Mansion.

Naturally, Mrs. Lu quickly thanked her. Of course, she also knew that no matter what, the emperor wanted to crown her three sons as kings. This was also to give Dazhu face, and this was also for the sake of the emperor's image.

However, if the emperor is really narrow-minded, none of her three sons should think about it, as each of them is basically at the mercy of the emperor.Thinking about what he did back then, Mrs. Lu somewhat regretted it, why was she so stupid and had thoughts that she shouldn't have back then.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret, and there is no way to undo what has offended the emperor.Of course, in Lu's heart, there are also some regrets.

For example, he didn't find the right direction, or he didn't have enough means to drive Zhu Yunying down or killed him.

For the position of Dragon Chair, Lu felt that even if she was a 'scholarly family', she would be crazy for that position.Of course she knew that the prince was honorable, but what she hoped more was that her eldest son could sit on the dragon chair, so that her son would be the ninety-five prince, and he would no longer have to look at other people's eyes.

Regret or regret, it is useless for Lu Shi, some things are doomed long ago, her methods or ambitions, etc., seem to be just a joke at this time.

While the female relatives were chatting, Xiao Xiaozhu rushed over, "Mother, we want to go out to play!"

Lu's heart was even more sour, her youngest son was almost the same age, and the emperor had not yet been crowned king.But the crown prince was registered as the crown prince when he was ignorant. Some of the regulations in the "Zu Xun Lu" are the most disobeyed by the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor.

What's more, it's Tian's family anyway, and the nobles of Tianhuang also need to follow the rules.But looking at it now, the emperor and the emperor always say "we", "I" and "I" from time to time, and they don't have the prestige of the Tian family at all.

This little prince is also affected, a good "mother queen" is not called, just like ordinary people, he is always called "mother".

Xu Miaoqing was a little helpless, and said to Xiao Xiaozhu, "Mother can't control it, your great-grandfather and your father are in charge. You still have to ride a horse this afternoon, so don't forget."

Lu's heart was even more sour, he didn't study Confucianism well, just like the current emperor, he didn't seem to intend to be a wise emperor.Think about our Yun Wen, he is so intelligent, benevolent and filial, and understands Confucian classics. If given the chance, he will definitely become a wise and holy king.

It's a pity, there are some things that Lu can only think about.

It doesn't matter what Lu Shi is thinking in her heart, she can only think about it now, and even dare to think silently in her heart.After all, who is in charge of the current Ming Dynasty, this is also known to everyone.

It doesn't matter what thoughts you have at the beginning, because it may seem a little hopeful, and you have to work hard if you have some hope, because it is a dragon chair.But it is not possible now, if there is any thought, the whole family will basically go to Fengyang to live on the high wall.

Little Zhu lay on Xu Miaoqing's lap, somewhat reluctant.

After all, she was born with a golden key in her mouth, and even though she is loved by thousands of people, Xiao Zhu is somewhat spoiled.

Xu Miaoqing continued, "After a while, His Majesty will order Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, and the opening of the mansion must be prepared. You should also use refreshments when you go back, and choose some reliable people for the fourth child."

In fact, the Lu family is now basically living in Xiaoling, guarding the tomb of Da Zhu.But Zhu Yunqi has already opened the mansion, but his two younger brothers are now living with the Lu family more.

And now that the fourth child, Zhu Yunxi, is about to get married, naturally he can't live with the Lu family all the time.Strictly speaking, Zhu Yunxi should have moved out after Zhu Yunying ascended the throne as queen, and he still has his own palace.

"The courtiers and concubines take the order." Lu naturally obediently agreed, but in fact he was also happy, "He also has eunuchs and maids who think about himself, and if he opens a mansion, he is not afraid that he will not have someone to send him."

Xu Miaoqing became serious and reminded, "It's not just enough to send people. His Majesty will give Huangzhuang and money at that time. After the fourth son opens the mansion, he must live alone. If there is no housekeeper or housekeeper in the mansion, it is also It’s a mess. You should be aware of these things. Now you’re not in the palace, and you don’t need to receive a salary every month.”

The children have grown up, the families have separated, and they have started a family. Naturally, there are some things that need to be discussed more straightforwardly.

For Xu Miaoqing's reminder, Lu's naturally echoed it again and again.As for Mrs. Ma, she was relieved. In fact, she didn't necessarily care much about Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi's two younger brothers. What she cared about was living with Zhu Yunqi.

What's more, now that she has children, taking good care of her husband and son-in-law is what she cares about the most.As for Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi, they are naturally taken care of by their mother-in-law, and the emperor should also take good care of those two younger brothers.

If Zhu Yunxi gets married, Ma's "burden" will be smaller.Zhu Yunxi became the king, and then she and Zhu Yunqi can justifiably not have to deal with Zhu Yunxi, and it is enough for each to live a good life.

Xu Miaoqing has also done her duty as a queen and sister-in-law of the emperor. This is her task and responsibility, and she cannot let outsiders talk about the emperor's reputation for treating his younger brother harshly.After all, the fact that Zhu Yunying favored his younger brother was not a secret at all, even a blind man could see these things.

As for Zhu Yunwen and others, we still need to take care of them.Even if you don't like the Lu family, you still need to give Zhu Biao face.As long as they don't mess around, Zhu Yunying doesn't mind taking care of these three half-brothers.

Don't say that Zhu Yunying is the emperor anymore, in such a feudal era, an elder brother should also do these things well.Identity sometimes represents responsibility and obligation.
