Chapter 70 Fire in the Harem
Zhu Houzhao snorted and said majestic: "Yongchun, there is no rule at all, and he doesn't know how to salute me when I see you."
The cute and silly girl said, "Forget it, the emperor must be willing to follow the rules, and the queen mother is not worried about it. You are mine all day long, and you never call me a widow. What kind of courtesy do I see?"
Yang Ling stood behind the screen and heard Zhu Houzhao calling her Yongchun, thinking: "Emperor Hongzhi has one son and two daughters. This is Princess Yongchun, the youngest daughter of Hongzhi. I heard that she is only 11 years old, no wonder she is so naughty. The other one is naturally Princess Yongfu. What are these two little girls doing?"
Princess Yongfu is only thirteen years old, two years younger than Zhu Houzhao, but she is dignified and gentle, and is very polite. Her younger sister is naughty, and she smiles and ignores her. She still bows to Zhu Houzhao and performs formal court etiquette: "The emperor's sister Yongfu has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness has been thousands of years old."
Zhu Houzhao has always disliked the court etiquette. Although she scolded her younger sister just now, she actually liked her easy-going attitude. Seeing that Princess Yongfu was really giving a gift, she had to sit down and receive the gift. Then she raised her right arm like a puppet and said dryly: "The emperor girl is not a gift, you are flat, you never come to Chunfang. Is this today?"
Princess Yongchun rushed to say, "Brother Prince, the harem is in a big trouble now, go quickly."
Princess Yongfu suddenly coughed, interrupted her and said, "You all retreat, we have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes!" Gu Dayong was very alert, quickly agreed, waved his hand, and took the two little eunuchs out of the door, gently covering the palace gate.
Princess Yongfu sat next to the soft couch and said with a sad face: "Brother, please go to the harem quickly. My father has always loved you the most. If you come forward, you may be able to calm your father's thunderous anger."
Zhu Houzhao was confused for a moment and said in confusion: "Why did your father get angry?"
Princess Yongfu said: "Just just at noon, Grand Secretary Li impeached the Hou of Shouning, saying that he occupied a large amount of private land. He occupied nearly 1,800 hectares of fertile land granted by the royal family. He was not a problem to compete with the people for profit. He also encouraged his family to buy and sell 1.2 million yuan of residual salt in Lianghuai, and also occupied the houses and forced the brothel prostitutes as concubines. As a result, he had a big argument with Hou Shouning in court. The father was angry and put both of them in prison. This is alas!"
"Ah?!" Zhu Houzhao was stunned. How could it be like this? He was stunned for a moment, and he moved his eyes and said, "They were both in prison. It seems that someone had impeached the Marquis of Shouning before. His father had never been so angry. What happened this time?"
Princess Yongchun burst into laughter, jumped up and climbed over to climb on his arm and said, "Sir Li criticized the tyrannical relatives of Shouning Hou for being an independent person. There was a saying that the mother of Tiji, Zhang, was a prosperous and prosperous person. The lord of Shouning took the opportunity to accuse him of being a minister and saying that the queen was Zhang, which was very disrespectful and should be executed.
Mr. Li was furious and snatched the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the Golden Palace and chased the Shouning Hou. An old man in his 60s could not beat the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with the slept with
Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh when he heard this. He raised his lips and said, "How could this happen? Haha, cough, this." He said, sliding behind the screen at the corner of his eyes, but there were two princesses sitting outside, so how could Yang Ling dare to respond.
Princess Yongfu gave a blank look at the gloating little sister and said worriedly: "Brother, the father's health has never been very good. Now Li Dongyang has been put into prison. Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Liu Daxia led all the civil and military officials in the palace to knelt in the hall to plead with him. The father angrily avoided the harem, but the mother heard that the Shouning Marquis was arrested and cried to the father. The emperor and I came to see you when the situation was not good."
Although Zhu Houzhao was naughty, he respected his father the most. He hurriedly stood up and said, "I said, the father never allowed any woman to enter the East Palace to give lectures. How could you come today? I'll go to the harem now, you."
As soon as he said this, someone from afar shouted: "Your Majesty is here to the East Palace, and the prince comes out to greet you!" This is the eunuch who is responsible for singing the ceremony in the palace. His voice is loud and distant. Princess Yongfu jumped up and said in panic: "Oh no, my father is on the head of fire. If we don't listen to the order, we will be even more angry, this."
Princess Yongchun pulled the emperor's sister and said, "Hurry up, hide first. The father may be here to check the emperor's homework. We will come out after he leaves."
As he said that, the little princess Yongchun pulled the emperor's sister and hid behind the screen. Zhu Houzhao couldn't stop him. The two had already hidden behind the screen. After waiting for a while, there was no sound of surprise coming from behind the screen. Zhu Houzhao was puzzled. The palace gate opened and Emperor Hongzhi walked in. When he saw this, Zhu Houzhao quickly leaned over and bowed down and said, "Son-member, see the father."
"Get up," Hongzhi waved his hand and signaled to Miao Kui who was attending her side. Miao Kui hurriedly took the people and tiptoed back and gently closed the palace gate.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and quietly looked at the expression of his father. He saw that his father looked calm and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, which was not like he was furious. Then he felt relieved, and at the same time it was a little strange.
Once the palace gate was closed, Hongzhi no longer put on the emperor's airs. He casually sat next to the desk, patted the brocade bed and said, "Son of the emperor, sit down!"
Zhu Houzhao sat down next to his father. He was inconvenient to mention what had just happened in the harem, so he had to ask: "My father just finished the afternoon day, why didn't he rest? Look at you, you're sweating again."
Hongzhi looked at him kindly and smiled and said, "Your mother is pissing off with your father. My father comes to you to hide. Haha, the Grand Secretary has been busy with the Spring Examination these two days. Have you ever put your homework off?"
Zhu Houzhao pretended to be surprised and said strangely: "My mother is vomiting with you, why is this?"
Hongzhizhao looked at him with a funny look, and suddenly said with a full face: "Young son, do you really not know?"
Zhu Houzhao was shocked. Seeing his father's eyes, sweating was oozing from his forehead.
************************************
Yang Ling hid behind the screen and listened to these princes. The princess talked about state affairs as if they were family. The imperial family and the queen who was in the world turned out to be the same as ordinary couples. He was just listening to the fun, and then heard the shouting outside that the emperor was here. Then a fragrant breeze, two little beauties in palace costumes flashed behind the screen in a hurry. Yang Ling was stunned.
After a quick glance, I saw a girl wearing a bright yellow palace dress with a beautiful appearance and gentle appearance. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was holding a towering black cloud bun on her head, and a snow-white and charming little face under the cloud bun. Her eyebrows were like a crescent moon and her eyes were filled with autumn water. When she saw him, she was shocked that her cherry mouth opened into an O-shaped shape, and she almost screamed.
Another little girl was still a yellow-haired girl, wearing a crimson-purple palace dress and a small melon-shaped face. Although she was young, she looked cute. Her figure was as petite as a fan. When she saw Yang Ling, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, but when she saw her sister's desire to wait, she quickly covered her cherry lips and shook her head gently.
Princess Yongfu was covered by her sister's mouth, revealing only a pair of black and big eyes. She blinked and signaled to her sister. Yongchun then let go of her hand. The two turned their heads and stared at Yang Ling with two bright big eyes. Yang Ling had a bitter face, bowed first, then pointed to the outside, then pointed at herself, and finally bowed again, as if she was a pantomime.
The petite Princess Yongchun couldn't help but sneer, hurriedly covered her mouth, glaring at him with a smile. Seeing his appearance, Princess Yongfu couldn't help but smile. At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had already entered the house. The two of them were afraid of being discovered by their father, so they hurriedly leaned inward again, which made Yang Ling closer.
Yang Ling and Yongchun didn't care much, but Princess Yongfu was already a thirteen-year-old girl. For the first time, it was so close to a man, and she couldn't help but feel a little cramped. At that time, the ethics and education were in a relatively awkward period. Some great scholars no longer had the same demands on men and women as they had since the Song Dynasty, while others strictly required retroness, and the ethics and education were increasingly strict. For example, Hai Rui, just because his five-year-old daughter took a pancake from the man, he thought it was too much more than etiquette and forced her daughter to starve to death with her full reputation, which was a bit obsessed with.
Although Princess Yongfu Royal Tianzhou was generous, she was really uncomfortable to hide in the same place. Besides, there were very few men she had seen in the palace. At this time, she saw that the man was dressed like a servant next to the prince. He was handsome and tall, with a straight nose and square mouth, and was very handsome. His pretty face couldn't help but become even red. He was confused and could not hear what was being said outside.
Yang Ling was surrounded by two little beauties, and with his life's vision, he was not fascinated by it. In addition, the emperor and the prince had seen it, their identities might not be shocked. He claimed the guilt to the two princesses, but he didn't dare to speak out when he saw them. Then he felt relieved and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements outside. He only heard the outside whisper for a while. Then Emperor Hongzhi laughed, but he didn't hear what he said to the prince.
It turned out that the prince confessed to Hongzhi that he had collected evidence and instructed Li Dongyang to impeach the emperor. He was a little loyal and did not call Yang Ling out. Hongzhi laughed loudly after hearing this. He smiled and said, "The emperor, Li Dongyang's grandson of the dynasty, is agile. Can you hide these little tricks from him? But even if you know what's going on, there is nothing wrong with doing this."
The emperor laughed and said, "Some things are inconvenient to speak, so the ministers should come forward to clarify. The emperor, the nobles and royal families in the court have become more and more serious invading the people. It is not just the family of Shouning Hou. The father and several grand scholars are preparing to eliminate some bad policies and restrict the royal family's family from accepting land contributions and encroaching on the people's interests."
He glanced at the prince with compliment and said, "But the father has never found a place to enter the contract and successfully implement the new policy, so as not to arouse opposition from the entire royal family and the heroes and ministers. The father is worried about it. Haha, even if his father Li Dongyang was not a straight minister, he might not have dared to steal the golden gourd in the Golden Palace and use his fists. I just borrowed his hand to teach Hou Shouning a lesson."
Hongzhi frowned and sighed, "I have always been kind to the emperor, but the two brothers of Shouning Hou have been too presumptuous recently. If you keep him in a few days, it will be good to suppress his spirit."
Zhu Houzhao said at a glance: "It turns out that my father and father have long wanted to punish him. I said, why did Li Dongyang become so brave? It turned out that it was from his father's instructions, but why did his father even arrest Mr. Li?"
Yang Ling was secretly surprised when he heard it behind him. He really underestimated Li Dongyang, and even underestimated this somewhat obsessed fat emperor. Now it seems that he doesn't know who was used as a gun by whom.
Hongzhi patted his hand and smiled and said, "Silly child, if this is not the case, will your mother be even more reluctant to give up? State affairs are easy to deal with. If your mother refuses to forgive me, I will have a headache."
He said with a faint smile and said, "But the emperor has always been playful and never cared about state affairs. Those people from Gu Dayong can only please you and make some jugglers make fun of the East Palace. I don't know that this time you suddenly care about the sufferings of the people and have tried your best to make some passers-by's advice, but what did the Yang Shiyu think?"
Princess Yongfu was also eavesdropping on the screen and eavesdropping on the words of his father and the prince. After hearing this, she couldn't help but feel her heart moved and looked at Yang Ling. Her head was moving and her hair was sliding on the screen, making a squeak. Only Hongzhi and his son were talking in the room, which was surprisingly quiet. When they heard this sound, Hongzhi immediately said sternly: "Who? How dare you eavesdrop on me and the prince? Come out for me!"
Yang Ling looked at the two princesses and saw Princess Yongfu looking at him with a red face. Princess Yongchun's black eyes turned, and a slender finger was stretched out, and she pointed to Yang Ling, and then pointed outside. Yang Ling pointed at her nose with a bitter face. The little princess nodded gracefully, smiling very comfortably.
Yang Ling looked at Princess Yongfu helplessly, and saw her apologizing, but there was a look of pleading in her eyes. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "These two little princesses are really. Eavesdropping on your father's conversation is not a big deal. After saying that, he will be scolded at most. Why bother me to push the jar?"
