Bright Spring

"Hey!" Zhu Di responded, then turned to ask the eunuchs, "What are you doing here?"

An eunuch said: "The servants disturbed the emperor, please punish the emperor! The grandson wants to hang the cat, and the servants have to dissuade it. That cat is the favorite of the concubine! If you see the grandson hanged How can the slaves explain to the concubine the princess..."

Zhu Di casually asked Zhu Zhanji, "The cat's fur is so white and as beautiful as snow. Why did my grandson kill it?"

Zhu Zhanji raised his head and said, "This cat stole the fish raised by the emperor's grandfather. It made a mistake and deserves its death!"

"Ha!" After Zhu Di heard this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't expect that he could only hold back what he wanted to say, but his grandson said it very decisively.

Instead of being angry, Zhu Di smiled, pointed at Zhan Ji, looked around and said, "My grandson is very similar to me. He has a degree of reward and punishment, and can distinguish right from wrong. You let him hang the cat to death! Where is the concubine? I asked Shisun to do it."

"Slaves and servants wait to obey the order!" The eunuchs kowtowed.

So the eunuchs, who were dissuading them, stepped forward to help, tightened the rope around the cat's neck, and asked the grandson to hang it on a log in Langwu. Struggled up there.

Zhu Di left Dongnuange and went back to Fengtianmen by imperial chariot.After sitting for a while, Ji Gang came to see him, handed over a list of prisoners in prison, and then bowed and stood aside.

Zhu Di flipped through the pages calmly, and the sound of "squeaking" paper was very rhythmic, neither fast nor slow but never stopped.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, looked at the file and frowned, "Fang Xiaoru is still alive?"

When Ji Gang heard this, he bent down even lower, but didn't say a word.Zhu Di didn't blame him, he closed the file and threw it beside the case, "Take it."

"The minister leads the decree!" Ji Gang picked up the file with both hands and walked out of the imperial gate.

Chapter 175

/ P>

Because Empress Xu summoned her, Miao Jin only entered the palace yesterday.

She knew that Zhu Gaoxu was married, but she didn't go to watch the ceremony; she didn't come to Kunning Palace until today, wanting to see the appearance of Princess Gaoyang County.

Miao Jin is still wearing Taoist robes and combing her hair in a bun. Today, the cotton material of this robe is softer than before, and the cut fits better.There is nothing strange about the clothes, but because of her person, her figure is not concealed a little, so that her desolation seems to be heroic, and her gentleness is like charming.The soft material was supported by her body, and she inadvertently remembered the peppers and spring bamboo shoots that Zhu Gaoxu had said, and her ears felt a little hot.

Walking into the majestic and spacious Kunning Palace, the maids and eunuchs all respectfully called "Chiyue Zhenren", after all, he was someone the empress cared about.

Miao Jin is reticent and doesn't pay attention to the palace people, she is just not in the mood to talk... Her mind has been tossed and entangled thousands of times.

At first, she was very sad, seeing the person she committed herself to marry another wife, Miao Jin felt very sad.

However, isn't it reasonable for the dignified emperor's son to get married at the age of 19?With Miao Jin's status, it is difficult to become the princess of that county.

If she was just the daughter of Yushi Jingqing, and she didn't get involved in the imperial power struggle before, and came here just to become a princess when she first met Gao Xu, maybe she still had a chance.However, fate is so bad, Miao Jin can't blame Gao Xu, or even that strange princess.

Since you cannot be with him, you should not commit yourself to others.Thinking of this, Miao Jin felt ashamed and annoyed.But who would know that in the end she didn't have to kill herself?

Alas, the world is unpredictable, always so wrong.

At this moment, several people walked into Kunning Palace.When Miao Jin turned around to look, besides the palace maids and eunuchs, there was the eldest concubine Zhang and a strange young lady in Zhai clothes.Only princesses and concubines can wear that Zhai garment, so she must be the concubine of Gaoyang County.

Miao Jin immediately looked at the princess of the county, and saw that she was still young, fair and delicate, with a shy face, dignified and reserved manner.For some reason, Miao Jin has an inexplicable sense of closeness to the concubine who "robbed" King Gao Yang... Maybe that thing was not something that Miao Jin could get in the first place, so she has no complaints about being taken away.

"Hey! My little aunt is also in Kunning Palace." Mrs. Zhang greeted.She then enthusiastically said to the Princess of the County, "My aunt is the adopted sister recognized by the empress, younger brothers and sisters can also be called my aunt."

The princess of the county stepped forward and slightly bent her knees, holding Yubai's hands in front of her abdomen in a dignified manner, with a clear and gentle voice, "I have seen my little aunt."

"I'm a monk, so you can call me Chi Yue." Miao Jin looked indifferent. She was turned into a nun a few years ago, and she was used to it.

Miao Jin was wondering: It's just that he didn't see the emperor and queen, why didn't he see King Gaoyang come with him?

But Miaojin is not a person who breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line, she didn't ask.But Mrs. Zhang has already taken the initiative to speak: "The queen mother is going to change clothes, she will be here later. Gao Xu saw his elder brother, the two of them were talking outside, we women should not talk too much, so we will come in and wait for the queen mother."

Miao Jin ignored it, pretending that she was not talking to herself.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang said to the eunuch and maid next to her: "Let's talk to the sisters-in-law, you go down."

"Yes." The servants retreated one after another.

Miao Jin has seen it many times before, Zhang's mouth is very eloquent.Sure enough, she was acquainted with each other, and soon became like sisters with Princess Xinjun, chatting non-stop.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang said again: "I heard that my brother and sister are old with Lianying's daughter?"

The princess of the county nodded slightly: "I have met my sister-in-law several times. Even my sister is about the same age as me, so I can talk."

"It turns out that they are good friends in the boudoir. The fortunes of people are really incomparable. How lucky are the brothers and sisters. They married a majestic prince, and look at the daughter of the Lian family, how miserable!" Zhang said in a low voice, "Then Lian The girl was guarded day and night by those Qiu Ba, and she was tortured to death even when she had menstruation."

Not to mention the princess of the county who is still a little girl, even Miao Jin is pale.Fortunately, she stood behind Zhang's side and did not let Zhang see her expression.

Of course Miao Jin knew how Lian Ying's family was convicted because Lian Ying wanted to assassinate|kill the emperor in public!When Miao Jin heard this, she was still faintly afraid.

The face of the princess of the county turned pale with fright, and her eyes were red. After all, even the girl is someone she knows.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the princess of the county, but she didn't mean to shut up. She still whispered: "Even after the girl died, she was dragged out by Qiuba and let a group of vicious dogs share the food, and the skin on her head was ripped off. , that bloody..."

The princess of the county kept shaking her head when she heard this, and cried "woo woo woo", her eyes were as red as peaches, and tears flowed all over her face, staining the rouge and powder.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "The empress is here!"

Mrs. Zhang finally stopped talking and stood up hastily. The princess of the county also got up from the stool, her face was full of tears, but she finally held back her crying.

Miao Jin was very anxious when she saw the appearance of the princess of the county.At this moment, the princess of the county cast her gaze over; Miao Jin hurriedly seized the opportunity to stare into the eyes of the princess of the county, and then shook her head gently.

Empress Xu had already walked to the door, Miao Jin couldn't speak, but she wondered if this innocent-looking girl understood.

"Oh, my daughter-in-law, why did you cry like this just after passing the door? Which of you bullied her?" Empress Xu looked at the princess princess in surprise.

Mrs. Zhang bowed her knees to salute, but said nothing.

The princess of the county said sadly: "Sister-in-law was talking to the concubine just now, and the concubine suddenly remembered that the lovely parrot at home died, and couldn't hold back her sadness for a moment..."

After hearing this, Empress Xu looked around and said, "Gao Xu's daughter-in-law is really soft-hearted." Then she said, "Don't be sad, I suddenly remembered that there is a parrot in the harem, a rare thing from the Western Regions. Gansu came to Beijing and brought me a gift. Someone, bring that parrot here, and I will give it to Princess Gaoyang."

"Yes." The eunuch replied.

Empress Xu said with a smile, "Don't cry anymore. Gao Xu is very fierce, many people are afraid of him, and no one dares to bully his wife."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is so kind." The princess said obediently.

Empress Xu smiled when she heard that, and said: "Okay, okay. Don't say I like this daughter-in-law, Gao Xu also likes it very much. Before that, I was worried that my son Gao Xu would be dissatisfied, but now it seems that I worry too much. I heard Zheng He said, on the day of the wedding, Gao Xu treated you like a treasure, and he was afraid of bumping into you."

The princess of the county said: "The queen mother loves you, and the prince does not dislike it. This is a blessing from the concubine's previous life."

At this moment, Miao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.When she silently looked at Shizi Concubine Zhang, although Zhang had a smile on his face, his smile was very stiff.

After a while, the prince and Gao Xu also came in, saluted Empress Xu and said hello.
