Domineering Daming

He snorted softly, pouted his lips, mixed some warm water, twisted the towel, and began to serve the four younger sisters and younger brothers.

Zhu Xu's three sons were very obedient, they were wiped by Yongning with their faces upturned, but Shuxian was different, she tilted her head from side to side, and even ran away smiling.

Xiao Yongning was not happy at all, so he ran up after dragging his shoes, chasing after you.

Xiao Shuxian was always troublesome, but when she saw her sister chasing her, she ran even more joyously, jogging around Ruanta, giggling endlessly.

The three boys all watched, and two of them also giggled, Cixuan and Ciyi even crawled behind them.

Instead, the maids around were startled, and they hurriedly followed to protect them, it would be terrible if they fell off.

Xiao Shuxian didn't run a few steps but was caught by Xiao Yongning. She pressed on the bed, covered her face with a towel, and rubbed her face "hardly".

Xiao Shuxian bared her teeth and claws, giggling, her little head was tilted, but she refused to wipe it.

Xiao Yongning took a lot of effort to wipe it off, and hummed in a low voice: "Your father bullied me, let's see how I bully you..."

Xiao Shuxian didn't know if she understood, she got up and ran away.

Xiao Yongning was just about to let the maid to wash the towels, but her little face suddenly showed a "fierce look", and she chased after her again.

Zhu Xu looked at the five little guys playing around endlessly, shook his head and said, "I asked you to wipe them to cool them down, to cool them down, you'd be fine...Go, take them to take a bath, and then think Way to put them to sleep."

This is also what Xiao Yongning is mainly responsible for recently, bathing the four little guys and putting them to sleep.

Xiao Yongning has already done it twice, and she is not as resistant as before. He groaned twice, got off his feet, put on his shoes, and asked people to prepare water, while thinking about how to "revenge" her uncle later these four children.

The little ones were pretty easy to deal with, and they were taken away one by one by Yongning, and Dongnuange was finally clean.

Zhu Xu continued to look through the playbooks. Most of the present playbooks are on the "worried" side. There is not much good news. The local cries seem to be on the roof of the Qianqing Palace, condensed and getting louder. The roof is about to come off.

Looking at the past one by one, giving instructions, staying in the middle school, and transferring to the cabinet, the mechanized work that has long been proficient is going on as always.

It wasn't until the sky was dark and the willows were above the moon that Zhu Xu raised his head from the vast Zouben Mountain.

Cao Huachun walked in from the outside and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Zhu Xu's mind was still a little stiff, and he said after a while: "Well, by the way, where are Yongning and the four little guys?"

Cao Huachun smiled and said: "Princess Yongning sleeps in the west wing with the three highnesses and the eldest princess. There are court ladies watching, so the emperor doesn't have to worry."

Zhu Xu picked up the herbal tea beside her, shook her head with a smile and said, "I asked her to take care of the four little ones, but she went to bed lazily..."

At this time, Zhang Yun came in from the outside with two court ladies. After some greetings, she said: "Your Majesty, the weather is too hot, and my concubine asked the imperial dining room to make summer tea, and specially brought it to the emperor."

Zhu Xu nodded, waved the others away, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I will rest for a while, and then send the four little guys back, let's go back to Kunning Palace together."

Zhang Yun had a pretty face and said, "Yes."

She has been in the palace for more than half a year, and her stomach has not moved yet. She herself is anxious, and not only there are some voices in the harem, but also outside the palace. Stabilize people's hearts, so as not to reproduce the "country-based dispute" and lead to more unpredictable chaos.

Chapter 1087 Freeze

A few days later, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the bureaucratic system of Ming Dynasty became increasingly restless with the temperature. Whether it was the "New Deal" or the "Qingfeng Movement", it put great pressure on officials, big and small.

This restlessness is implicit and subtle, but it has been reflected in all aspects of government affairs.

A part of the majestic pressure was even transferred to the harem.

Cining Palace.

It's been a while since Zhu Xu came to eat. One is his harem woman, who has more children, and the other is his uncle, widow and sister-in-law.Zhu Xu and Queen Mother Zhang tacitly avoided it.

In the evening, Zhu Xu, Zhang Yun, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Yongning gathered in the main hall and were eating.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the aggrieved and silent little Yongning, frowned slightly, raised her head and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have been running outside the palace recently?"

Zhu Xu didn't care, took a mouthful of cold food, and said, "Well, some departments are not clearly positioned, and they don't know where their powers and responsibilities are. I'm going to beat them."

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't understand, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Zhang Yun, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, women outside the palace are no better than those in the palace..."

It goes without saying that Empress Dowager Zhang will stop when she clicks.Zhu Xu was startled for a moment, a little dazed, and then he realized that he turned to look at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun's pretty face was slightly startled, she really hadn't thought about it before, seeing Zhu Xu looking over, she quickly said: "This concubine knows that the emperor is busy with government affairs."

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw it, she said angrily: "Okay, you don't need to tell the queen, there is a lot of noise in the palace, and the queen is covering it for you. Tell me, is there any woman outside the palace?"

Seeing Empress Dowager Zhang's appearance of breaking the casserole and asking the end, Zhu Xu smiled wryly and said: "Sister-in-law, I really don't have one. I'm busy with my feet not touching the ground now, so I don't have the heart to ask for flowers. If there is, I can just accept it into the palace." Now, why bother to run outside against the sun every day..."

Empress Dowager Zhang looked cold, as if I knew a man's virtue, and said: "Okay, I don't care about your affairs. I heard that Liu Zheng was dismissed, and the Military Law Department is going to go to prison for questioning? Or is it the death penalty?"

Liu Zheng, Liu Dai's grandnephew, that is, the grandnephew of Old Concubine Liu.

The old concubine is now in a daze and drowsy all day long. Everyone knows that she is dying and there are not many days left.

Hearing this, Zhu Xu also had a headache.Liu Zheng was the first batch of officers who were found to be "corrupt" during the "Qingfeng Movement" carried out by the Military Law Department of the Generalissimo's Mansion. Although there were few people in the Liu family to intercede, this matter was indeed tricky.

Let's deal with it. If the old concubine wakes up and finds out about this, what should she think? ——The old woman is ready to attack the Liu family before she's dead?Even if the old concubine understands righteousness and doesn't care about it, Zhu Xu himself can't pass this test in his heart.

If you don't deal with it, officials all over the world are staring at the actions of the Military Law Department. Isn't it a failure at the beginning, how can you continue?A series of reforms do not know how much they will be affected!

Therefore, when Queen Mother Zhang asked, Zhu Xu didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing Zhu Xu's expression, Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and said solemnly, "I don't care about your state affairs or plans. I only want to say one thing. Liu Zheng is the old concubine's favorite grandson. You can't kill him, at least not now!"

Empress Dowager Zhang had never made such a request to Zhu Xu, and in Zhu Xu's ears, one head and two big.

Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be afraid that Zhu Xu would find excuses to shirk, and then said: "I think Yongning has lost weight recently, so I won't go to Qianqing Palace in the future. I will personally train you. You can go busy with your state affairs, and don't use it to say hello if you have nothing to do."

Zhu Xu could clearly hear Empress Dowager Zhang's dissatisfaction. He didn't know whether it was his indifference to Liu Zheng, or because he "tortured" little Yongning. With a wry smile, he bit the bullet and said, "Sister-in-law, it's nothing serious, I'll take care of it." Alright, I heard that you are not in good health recently, I will send the imperial doctor over..."

"No need." Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted with a cold face, "I will do these things, and the empress is also watching, so the emperor doesn't need to worry about it."

Zhu Xu listened to Empress Dowager Zhang's undisguised dissatisfaction, his face was stiff, and he didn't know how to reply.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who make him feel wrong, and the emperor's wife who is also a sister-in-law and mother in front of him is ranked first!

It was the first time Zhang Jun saw Queen Mother Zhang and Zhu Xu "turning faces", and quickly smoothed things over and said: "Queen Mother, I believe that the emperor will handle it well, and I will definitely not embarrass you, and I will handle it properly. Let's eat, the princess is fine." hungry……"

Xiao Yongning has been pretending to be pitiful, seeing that her mother and Zhu Xu are about to fall out, she immediately put on a pitiful expression of being hungry.

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at Zhang Jun and glanced at Yongning. She seemed to have stepped down the stairs, and said to Zhu Xu with a more relaxed tone, "Okay, let's eat."

Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled into Zhang Yun's eyes.

Zhang Yun pursed his lips, picked a dish for Zhu Xu, and expressed with his eyes that she would try to persuade Queen Mother Zhang more.

The meal was rather boring, and Zhu Xu and his wife left the Compassion Palace before he let out a long breath.
