[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

On June [-]th of the tenth year of Zhengde, the sky was fine and there was no wind. It was a rare good weather for a wedding in June.

When the sky was just dawning, the imperial city was still filled with a faint mist, and the fragrance of the grass was pleasant and elegant, revealing a thriving atmosphere.However, the imperial palace, which was supposed to be peaceful at this time, had already started to become bustling.

No, the word lively is no longer enough to describe the atmosphere of the palace. Although the clothes of the palace people who shuttle back and forth are brand new, they have joyful smiles on their faces.However, if you look closely at everyone's eyes, you can see that most of them are worried.

I don't know if this worry is about the big event that is about to start at this time, or for their own lives, but everyone is doing things quietly.

The emperor's big wedding in the Ming Dynasty had a complete set of etiquettes that had already been stipulated in every link from the election to the canonization, collectively called the big wedding ceremony.However, the wedding ceremony that Emperor Zhengde wanted to hold was completely different, because it was impossible for Jiao Shizhi, who was in a coma, to complete a series of rituals such as flattery, kneeling, and entering the palace.

Emperor Zhengde didn't want to restrain him like this, not to mention that Shizhi was not a woman, so she didn't need to abide by such rituals.

When the emperor gets married, he should pray to the heaven and the earth, sacrifice to the Taimiao and the gods of the country, but these are all attended by the emperor himself, and the queen can only go to worship one by one in the future.

However, Emperor Zhengde directly omitted everything, and after sending the horoscopes of the two to Qin Tianjian, he directly combined the worship with the big wedding.

Does Queen Mother Zhang know?She does know.Shocked?It is indeed very shocking.

She never thought that Zhu Houzhao would do this.Don't say that after marrying a man, such things have never happened before. It is already too much to take Jiao Shizhi to the Taimiao and worship the Sheji.

When the imperial convoy left, she pushed back all the palace people, and knelt alone in the small Buddhist hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace to chant scriptures, twisting a bracelet of Buddhist beads in her hand, counting them one by one until Bai Lai couldn't calm down. calm down.

... All Buddhas are above... the faithful woman has no shame in her heart, but the matter of Shou'er has never restrained him.If the gods and Buddhas in the sky punish this matter, it will fall on the believer, so that he will not be embarrassed again...

The heavens and the earth, the gods of the country, the ancestors... the mighty team, during the long process, Zhu Houzhao bowed down step by step with the right one in mind.

That probably took all the patience and devotion in his life.

When the emperor left the palace, he was accompanied by thousands of military officers. When he returned to the palace after worshiping, the cold light of the gun tip still warned everyone not to approach.However, the people on both sides of the road kneeling and looking around filled all the gaps, and even the carriages of other officials retreated again and again, so they had to avoid going to the alley.

Yang Tinghe lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the silent but magnificent scene outside, his face trembled twice, and he sighed helplessly.All the officers and soldiers around the emperor are not guarding against others, maybe they are officials.

It has been more than ten days since he was dismissed from the court, and the emperor really had no contact with anyone, and all matters were left to the cabinet and the chief inspector.

He put down the curtain, turned around and looked at the other people in the carriage, and said helplessly, "Master Shoufu, why did you call us all here?"

Li Dongyang said: "If you are here, there may be fewer officials going to the palace gate." It is not unreasonable for Li Dongyang to say this, in fact, when they saw Emperor Zhengde's seriousness when he was traveling, they knew that the emperor knew it well of.

Yang Tinghe wanted to say something, but he sensed bad news from Li Dongyang's words, "Could something have happened?"

The old god Li Dongyang said on the ground, "Of course there is. I heard that the imperial prison is full." Although the matter is handed over to the cabinet, Jin Yiwei has always had independent power, and even the cabinet cannot be shaken.

Yang Tinghe smiled wryly again and again, but his face was not as ugly as that of Jiao Fang next to him. In fact, he was a little depressed during this period of time. Even when Jiao Qiong came home and brought up this matter, he was scolded bloody by him. See how angry he actually is.

Xie Qian glanced at him indifferently, glanced sideways out of the window, looked at Li Dongyang and said, "Although it is indeed much calmer than imagined, can the emperor's actions really convince the people?" Inclination, but Xie Qian does not believe that everyone is like this.

Li Dongyang shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Of course not. There are still a lot of people who are disgusted with this, especially many students. I heard that there have been dozens of games in Jiangnan. learned, and the same is true of the successive outbreaks of controversy.”

Xie Qian asked this question, and after getting the answer, he fell silent, not planning to say anything more.In fact, what Li Dongyang said, the rest of the people can also predict, the common people are the easiest to please and the easiest to appease.The matter of the royal family is too far away from them, maybe it's just a long talk in the future.But the students are different. After all, the world is supported by the three-year Jinshi, and their comments are more important than others.

Today's student protests cannot be ignored. After all, the Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to speech, otherwise the speech officials would not be so willful.

Of course, this is only the thinking of some people. For Emperor Zhengde, what he cared about was precisely the common people who were ignored by ordinary people.As Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.The common people seem simple and simple, but it is not so easy to gain their trust.As for the students...

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang chuckled lightly, and now he could imagine what the emperor would say about it.Although they were forced to read the sage books for more than ten years, they, the emperor, have not been impregnated with Confucianism at all. They really failed as teachers.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Li Dongyang, seeing that the chief assistant was still smiling, he couldn't help saying: "Master Li, aren't you in a hurry?" here?If it hadn't been for Li Dongyang's mention of the imperial edict just now, Yang Tinghe might have ordered the carriage to detour to the gate of the palace.

Li Dongyang said in a low voice: "I'm just laughing at ourselves, eating salty radish and worrying less."

Yang Tinghe was startled for a moment, and then he said angrily, "What does Mr. Li mean by that, I can't accept it!"

Li Dongyang shook his head and sighed, his eyes shone with wisdom, "We are so filled with righteous indignation, apart from the regulations of our ancestors, we also think about the country and the country, and hope that the emperor will have descendants to continue." Yang Tinghe nodded, even Jiao Fang was distracted. with him.

He continued: "However, you may not know that the emperor has ordered the adoption, and the escort team will soon enter Beijing."

"what!"

Yang Tinghe and Jiao Fang turned pale with shock, even Xie Qian's eyes flashed with astonishment, he couldn't believe what he heard.Jiao Fang said anxiously: "I never knew about this! How could the emperor pass me and order directly!" Li Dongyang put down the teacup with a "click" and gave him an indifferent look, "He is the emperor, if Do you really want to do something beyond us, how can we know? If it is not because the emperor ordered me to supervise the country, how long will it take for me to find out about this matter?"

"The emperor did it on purpose."

Li Dongyang said.

First, the emperor wanted to marry a man, and then the emperor planned to adopt the prince. The two incidents in succession caused the cabinet to be silent for a while. After a long time, Yang Tinghe said awkwardly, "Since Mr. Shoufu knows about this, why don't you advise the emperor? People who don’t think you’re going to hold back from it are.”

Li Dongyang waved his hand and sighed: "There is no need to be carried in a sedan chair. When I learned about this yesterday, I really planned to enter the palace. But the emperor doesn't even allow me to enter."

"But today..." Yang Tinghe was interrupted by Li Dongyang before he finished speaking, he said softly: "I discovered something yesterday, maybe you should listen to it before making plans."

"The emperor may have plans to abdicate when the prince turns 15."

Li Dongyang's words were very light, but it was not the case at all when it fell into the ears of several elders!They all looked at Li Dongyang in surprise, as if what he just said was a tiger and a beast!

He was obviously still talking about the prince just now, but in the blink of an eye he jumped to the prince again?And... abdicate!

"You don't have to look at me like that. I said before that the emperor did it on purpose." Li Dongyang said leisurely, his voice slightly confused.Deliberately ordered him to supervise the country, deliberately left these things, deliberately let him know so many things...

Emperor Zhengde just put the reality in front of them and slapped them in the face.In their view, Emperor Zhengde didn't care about such an important position.The days confined in the palace are not as broad as the outside world. Once you have seen it, it will be difficult to look back.

Yu Jia slowly disappeared at the end of the official road. Amidst the sound of drums and the bustling crowd, a few unremarkable people were followed, knocked unconscious and taken away. They were young, and the people who shot were also very quick, as if they had been eyeing them from the beginning.

This action was silent, and no one could perceive what happened.

Royal Palace.

The palace had long been decorated with colorful flowers, but Emperor Zhengde didn't have the heart to look at it.Sitting in the imperial car and hugging Shizhi, he touched his heart inch by inch with his palm, feeling the weaker heartbeat, and his chest seemed to be infected with secret pain.That pain haunted him day and night, or it would continue to follow him.

Although the Kunning Palace was sorted out according to the usual practice, Emperor Zhengde didn't intend to go there. Yujia stopped directly at Qianqing Palace, and Emperor Zhengde carried Jiao Shizhi inside without any help from others.

The appearance of Qianqing palace is quite different from before.Even the corners have been carefully decorated to make it more festive and bright, with red ribbons everywhere.Emperor Zhengde's eyes fell on the two dragon-patterned red candles, he snorted, looked at Le Xiao who followed silently behind him, and said, "Why don't you spend your mind on other things when you're such a ghost?"

Le Xiao sneered and said: "Your Majesty, if the villain's thoughts fall here, it is the villain's business, and the other places don't need the villain's efforts, right?"

Emperor Zhengde looked back at Jiao Shizhi who had been placed on the bed with his own hands, and waved his hands and said, "Everyone should retreat, unless I order, no one will disturb you, even the queen mother."

Le Xiao nodded, and quietly led the people away.

Emperor Zhengde glanced around the room, and suddenly remembered the idea that had flashed by him in the Leopard Room. He hoped to give Jiao Shizhi a grand wedding... At first, he thought it was a delusion, but he didn't expect...

Standing in the room, Zhu Houzhao shook his head, really didn't expect it.

The imperial robes worn by him and Jiao Shizhi were specially made by the Shangyi Supervisor, and the styles were the same.This is the first time that Emperor Zhengde expressed his relationship with Jiao Shizhi in this way.He walked into the room slowly, his fingertips ran over the silky sleeves, leaving some ripples, and the outer shirt fell outside the room.

He walked towards Jiao Shizhi step by step, knelt on one knee at the side of the bed and looked at the man's handsome appearance, took his fingertips and kissed him lightly, with endless lingering meaning, "Shizhi, you and me, Finally, we can no longer be separated."

Even after a hundred years, no one can separate them.Even if they cannot sleep in the same coffin, life and death cannot be separated.

Zhu Houzhao pecked and kissed the cool fingertips again and again, Wendy's lips seemed to make that place hot, "I love you."

Nothing happened that night, Emperor Zhengde just slept peacefully with Jiao Shizhi in his arms, and the person in his arms was his supreme treasure, which he could never let go of.

……

Emperor Zhengde seemed to be dreaming.

He dreamed of a child's growth, from a babbling to a naughty child step by step, and then growing up smoothly under the pampering of his parents, and then a sudden change.

Zhu Houzhao knew that he was dreaming about his own past.

That person is himself.

But the strange thing is that Jiao Shizhi didn't exist in all his dreams.Eight years old, ten years old, 12 years old, 15 years old... When he in the dream became emperor, the people closest to him... were Liu Jin and others.

Zhu Houzhao knew clearly that he must be dreaming, but he couldn't move and couldn't wake up from the dream.

The scenes in the dream quickly passed before his eyes, marrying a wife, playing, playing, breaking with courtiers, going out to war, King Ning's rebellion, falling into the water...death.

Emperor Zhengde saw his own life, the one without Jiao Shizhi, his life.

When he opened his eyes again, the top was just replaced by the bed curtain, the mottled light quietly slipped in through the gap, the candles in the room were not extinguished, and they were silently lighting up. burning.

Emperor Zhengde turned over subconsciously, only to find that the place beside him was icy cold.

Appropriate? !

Zhu Houzhao sat up suddenly, looking at the dragon bed where he was alone, a great fear suddenly rose in his heart.The scene in the dream still flashed in his mind, he lifted the bed curtain all at once, before he even had time to put on his shoes, he strode to search the house.

"Appropriate, appropriate!"

There was a shrill tremor in that voice.

"emperor."

These words were like the warm sun in winter, which suddenly melted away the restlessness in Emperor Zhengde's heart, so soft that he was afraid that his voice would be blown away by the wind.

"It's suitable...?"

The person he was dreaming of was standing quietly by the window and looking at him. Even though his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, he was alive and could move and laugh.

That's his Jiao Shizhi.

……

When Jiao Shizhi was awake, he didn't notice anything unusual, but the feeling under his body was not like the simple bed board in the military medical camp.

However, in his feeling, he just lay down and took a nap in the military doctor's tent, and he couldn't help being surprised by the scene that appeared now.

Because of the familiar and unfamiliar environment.

Because of the appearance of the emperor.

He stretched out his hand to touch the emperor's face, the slightly rough appearance made Jiao Shizhi's heart tremble, he didn't know how long it was since he had seen the emperor's appearance.Although it was his idea to choose to leave Datong and go to Tatar, it was not Jiao Shizhi's original intention to bring so many people with him in the end.

Even Shivadu...

Jiao Shizhi suffocated, got up from the bed lightly, opened the curtain and wanted to get out of bed, but was surprised when he saw the furnishings in the house, candles everywhere... No, Jiao Shizhi corrected in his heart, his eyes were red candle.He walked gently to the two huge dragon patterned red candles in front of the table. At this moment, they had burned half of their length. Judging from their size, they might have to wait until tomorrow morning to completely burn out.

……what?

Puzzles quietly arose in Jiao Shizhi's heart. As soon as he turned around, his eyes fell on the Mianfu beside the bed, and there was a slightly larger same dress casually thrown on the ground.Jiao Shizhi bent down to pick it up, and walked to the shelf beside the bed. Comparing the two, there was no difference at all.

But this is Fu Mian... Jiao Shizhi silently felt inappropriate.

This is the Qianqing Palace, but his last memory still stays at the moment when the snow fell in Datong. He walked slowly to the window, and before opening the window, he noticed something from the warm temperature, and stood there in a daze.

So...has it been so long?Such a season, such a temperature, is approaching early summer.

Then his conjecture was not wrong.

Jiao Shizhi lightly closed his eyes, recalling how he looked back then.It is not difficult to choose to swallow medicine for the emperor. The ability of foresight has been in Jiao Shizhi's body for many years, and there has never been a problem.But there were only two fluctuations.

Once when Emperor Hongzhi died, and once in Datong.

Jiao Shizhi had never seen such a chaotic appearance, but he understood something that should have been clear in the blink of an eye.If nothing ever went wrong, what he saw at that moment meant all possible futures.

But for him, there was no choice at all.

After Jiao Shizhi knew that the medicine was useful, he never thought about other problems.No matter where the medicine came from, and no matter what will happen to him in the future, if the medicine is useful to the emperor, this is the best answer.

He doesn't care about other things, and he doesn't want to care so much.

Therefore, he never knew that he and Emperor Zhengde had already stood at a very wonderful turning point.Compared with the history he knew, the changes they had made were too many, so many... enough to make the behemoth of history move quietly.

Countless branch lines are intersected, and history is not static. It is like the roaring Yellow River, which goes forward indomitably. However, if the terrain has a huge impact, even the Yellow River will have to change its course.

The accumulated changes were like the heights built up day by day, and finally one day, when they were stuck at the critical point of breaking the dike or exploding, Jiao Shizhi chose to feed the pill to Emperor Zhengde.

Of course Emperor Zhengde survived, and then history happily swept away to the established destiny.

It's a pity that Jiao Shizhi never knew this.

And Emperor Zhengde didn't know either.

If it hadn't been for Emperor Zhengde's willful decision, if he hadn't kicked another new world with one kick at the door, perhaps the ending would have been no different.

The male queen... This is truly unprecedented.

At this time, they didn't know the danger, Jiao Shizhi leaned against the window lattice and didn't know what to think, until a shrill call came from behind, which made Jiao Shizhi's heart ache.He turned around and looked at the embarrassing emperor behind him, with a warm stream trickling from his heart, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty."

He looked at Emperor Zhengde's eyes full of disbelief, which turned into complete joy in an instant, and stepped forward in twos and threes to hug Jiao Shizhi suddenly, with such strength that even a slightly weaker man felt a little uncomfortable.However, feeling Zhengde's out-of-control strength, Jiao Shizhi didn't want to break free. He leaned on Emperor Zhengde's chest, feeling that too much time had passed.

He is back.

Jiao Shizhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he came back.

"Appropriate, appropriate..."

Emperor Zhengde murmured softly, afraid that he was still in a dream, biting the palm of Jiao Shizhi's back fiercely, until the blood was dripping, and then suddenly hugged the living body in his arms.

He's really sober, he's really sober!

Only this thought remained in Zhu Houzhao's mind, and he laughed lowly. The laughter was overjoyed at first, and then gradually took on the color of desolation, and even choked with almost imperceptible sobs, "Why do you have the heart to keep scaring me like this?" I?"

Jiao Shizhi felt the trembling strength, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of painful struggle Emperor Zhengde had endured, he knew that he had been in a coma for so long, and the emperor must be very worried, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. gone."

"No, Shizhi, don't say that."

Emperor Zhengde stood up straight and looked seriously into Jiao Shizhi's eyes, "It's not your fault, it's my fault. If I had never brought up such an idea, you wouldn't have thought of going to Tartar. From now on, I will never act recklessly again, I just want you to be safe and sound."

At this moment, Jiao Shizhi couldn't say the righteous words of the country. The emperor's palm was so cold that he even saw the scar on his left hand. Jiao Shizhi suddenly closed his eyes and sighed softly: "You Don't say that."

This made him really ashamed.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Jiao Shizhi's reopened eyes, and was caught by Jiao Shizhi's flickering panic, and felt a pain in his heart. What happened during his coma?Thinking of this, Jiao Shizhi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, how long have I been in a coma?"

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and said after a long time, "More than two months."

Jiao Shizhi's eyes were full of surprise, no wonder he was in Qianqing Palace now, but... "Your Majesty, why did you stay in Qianqing Palace?"

Jiao Shizhi remembered that as early as a year ago, the emperor had completely settled in the Leopard Room, and only came back here occasionally in the Qianqing Palace, and had no plans to stay overnight in the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Zhengde said indifferently: "Since the marriage is going to be held, it must be held in the Qianqing Palace, otherwise how can we shut the mouths of those old foxes."

Jiao Shizhi: ...? ? ? ? ? ?

He looked up at Emperor Zhengde and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

Emperor Zhengde dragged him into the house, put on his coat, and then replied: "Shizhi is so smart, I don't need to repeat it again. I, and you, are married. The decoration of the Qianqing Palace should be Makes that very clear."

Jiao Shizhi was speechless for a moment, then said seriously: "I guessed it, but... I thought the emperor just held it in private."

Emperor Zhengde smiled lightly and said, "How can I be perfunctory in the face of your matter? Shizhi is too contemptuous of himself."

But Jiao Shizhi was not fooled by Emperor Zhengde's relaxed appearance, he looked into Emperor Zhengde's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me seriously, this matter is only circulated in the harem, or all the officials know about it. , or... have you announced it to the world?" Jiao Shizhi said the last sentence with extreme caution, as if saying it was a crime.

Emperor Zhengde caressed Jiao Shizhi's hair, and was so distressed that he found that the ends of the hair were withered and yellow. He replied, "What does Shizhi think?"

Jiao Shizhi smiled helplessly, and the answer was clear in his chest, "Your Majesty, what can I do to make the Emperor make such a big sacrifice?"

Emperor Zhengde knelt down to look at Jiao Shizhi, and said in a low voice, "Shizhi thinks this is a sacrifice? No, you are wrong. The person who sacrificed was not me, but you. The eyes of the whole world will fall on you, on you In your title of so-called male queen, this is the biggest burden for you."

"If I knew you would wake up, I would definitely not push you to the fire pit now." What Li Dongyang once said was not false.

Giving Jiao Shizhi the title of so-called queen is not a good thing for him.But...that was the extravagant wish that Emperor Zhengde couldn't extricate himself from in desperation, except for Jiao Shizhi's factor, he actually didn't regret it.

Jiao Shizhi shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, how did you think that you could put the title of Queen on me?"

"You are dying, what else can I worry about?"

Emperor Zhengde's sudden words made the atmosphere that was still warm just now suddenly cool down. Emperor Zhengde stroked Jiao Shizhi's wrist, which was a completely different feeling from before, with warmth from Shizhi's body.

Such a completely different difference made Zhu Houzhao feel deeply afraid, if Shizhi didn't wake up...

Emperor Zhengde cruelly cut through this possibility in his heart, and threw it to a place where he would never see it again.

The emperor's words made Jiao Shizhi's body stiff, and he finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, over the past two months, have I..." Emperor Zhengde's fingers landed on Jiao Shizhi's lips, blocking his mouth. Jiao Shizhi asked, and whispered: "It's okay, as long as you wake up, nothing will happen."

Although Emperor Zhengde said so, Jiao Shizhi still sensed something inappropriate from the emperor's actions.If it's just so ordinary, why is the emperor so anxious?And the words that blurted out just now... is he dying?

This doesn't look like it's okay at all.

Jiao Shizhi vaguely knew what had happened, his heart ached, and he held Emperor Zhengde's palm with his backhand, "Your Majesty, I am here."

It is self-evident where it comes from and where it goes.

Emperor Zhengde laughed lightly when he saw him, stood up and hugged Jiao Shizhi, and before he could react, he carried him directly to the bed, "I almost forgot, today is our bridal chamber wedding night, if you spend it like this Isn't it a waste?"

Jiao Shizhi frowned helplessly, "What is the emperor's plan?"

Emperor Zhengde laughed wantonly, "What do you think?"

Jiao Shizhi...Jiao Shizhi stopped talking.

On the hanging curtain of the bed, in the flickering candlelight, two intersecting figures were reflected on the curtain, their indistinct movements mixed with faint groans, hoarse and dull, touching the heartstrings.

After great joy and great sorrow, it is a completely different scene.

On the second day, when Le Xiao saw Jiao Shizhi coming out of the room, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, staring blankly at the young man in front of him as if he didn't recognize him at all.

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly and said, "What's the matter, but I haven't seen you in two months, don't you know me? Is it because I'm too thin to be seen?"

Le Xiao was quite sad at first, but was confused by Jiao Shizhi's words, she shook her head helplessly, "Master Jiao, it's great that you wake up."

It's really, really good.

Jiao Shizhi felt the pain in Le Xiao's words, and said to him: "The emperor is not awake yet, please tell me about this period of time first." He had just finished speaking when he heard another slap , looking sideways, there was another palace man panicked, as if he had revived his soul.

Le Xiao laughed and said, "You've been in a coma for too long, everyone is a little worried." Jiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows, he didn't look worried like this, it must have reached the level of horror.

Le Xiao and Jiao Shizhi walked into the courtyard. It was almost early summer, and the atmosphere was much milder.Jiao Shizhi's previous memory has been stuck in winter, and he was a little bit overwhelmed when he was suddenly in such an environment.

"Lord Jiao, the villain's reaction just now was really rude. But the villain is really happy that the adult can recover."

Le Xiao's words were sincere, which made Jiao Shizhi smile, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

If he was really as he had guessed before, then they really worked hard.

Le Xiao smiled wryly and said: "It's not a villain who has worked hard, it's the emperor who worked hard. When you were in a coma, the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't find out the symptoms. Although they summoned famous doctors from all over the world, they came and went to no avail. And your body is getting weaker day by day, I am afraid, afraid..."

For fear of something, Le Xiao didn't continue.

"More than half a month ago, the emperor ordered Qin Tian to monitor the day, and then ordered the Shang Yi Supervisor to rush to make the crown uniform. A few days later, he announced the big wedding to the world."

Le Xiao knew what Jiao Shizhi wanted to know, skipped some unnecessary details, and told Jiao Shizhi what happened before in a simple and quick manner.

After Jiao Shizhi heard everything, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything, he just said calmly to Le Xiao: "Thank you for telling me about this."

Le Xiao waved his hands again and again, "What is Master Jiao doing, and..." He took a step back, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "The villain just ran into Her Highness the Empress, please forgive me."

Jiao Shizhi froze in place... What the hell is this!

Queen?Your Highness? ?

When Emperor Zhengde talked to him last night, although Jiao Shizhi noticed it, most of his mind was on Emperor Zhengde, so he didn't realize what it meant at all.

But today's reality clearly told him.

After pulling Le Xiao up, accompanied by the voice of "His Royal Highness" walking all the way, Jiao Shizhi felt his face was numb.

"What order did the emperor give? How on earth did you come up with the title Your Highness the Queen?" He sighed helplessly.

Le Xiao said: "The emperor didn't ask for this, but yesterday you and the emperor were married... Husband, so the villain has to prepare the title in advance." Because Emperor Zhengde didn't pay attention to these trivial matters at all, Le Xiao I can only think of one first.

Jiao Shizhi: "...you just wanted to talk about husband and wife?"

"Your Highness, don't think too much." Le Xiao showed a perfect smile.

Jiao Shizhi's smile was more thoughtful than Le Xiao's, "Le Xiao, if you want to call me queen again, then I will let the emperor listen to the opinion of the 'queen' on you."

Le Xiao's back felt cold.

Back in front of the main hall, Jiao Shizhi still wanted to say something to Le Xiao, but he saw Emperor Zhengde leaning on the door and looking at him quietly.

As if that was all.

Jiao Shizhi frowned, and the corners of his mouth naturally curved slightly, walking towards Emperor Zhengde, "Your Majesty, I am here."

I know.

Emperor Zhengde held Jiao Shizhi's palm, hugged him into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I know."
