Xia Xiaomei rolled her eyes again, but her eyes turned,

"I came here today. I heard that my mother was unwell and never got up. I think it was because my mother was not in good spirits for a while and had neglected me. It was nothing if I was neglected. I was afraid that they would be careless and would make my mother wronged. It would be better for His Majesty to have a few men in the future, so that he could help her to establish her authority!"

Xia Xiaomei is just a rough-looking person and is too lazy to use her brain, but she is very careful. She always gives people a sense of carefreeness. If she really gets her mind, she is more unprepared than others.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao did not doubt what his wife said, and nodded after hearing this.

"What the queen said is! I will need to discipline them on behalf of my mother later!"

Xia Xiaomei smiled in her heart. The Queen Mother Zhang knew that her son was coming. She was waiting for her son to come and ask her to take advantage of the opportunity to let him meet the four concubines, so she left Xia Xiaomei in the side hall. However, she didn't expect that her son would go to the side hall to find the queen. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel depressed and ordered helplessly.

"Go and tell the emperor and the queen, and you will say that the Ai family has come out!"

The palace maids rushed to send a message. Zhu Houzhao in the side hall was watching Xia Xiaomei Niu drinking tea. Seeing that she was anxious, the tea overflowed from the corner of her mouth, she hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it away for her.

"You should be slower!"

Xia Xiaomei smiled and coughed twice but choked. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but blame her for feeling distressed.

"You are so stupid. Who dares to neglect you as the queen? Just punish the leader, why bother yourself!"

Sister Xia replied,

"I am thinking about my mother's discomfort and resting. If the noise is so big, will it alarm her!"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily,

"Then you can't be so thirsty!"

The young couple was considerate and sweet, but they heard a palace maid coming to spread the words of the empress dowager outside. The two of them hurriedly dressed and went to the main hall to meet the empress dowager. When the empress dowager Zhang saw his son and daughter-in-law coming to the hall to salute, she felt unhappy and pretended to be smiling and said to Zhu Houzhao.

"After finally, His Majesty returns safely, the Ai family has let go of their hearts!"

Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly,

"Mother, I'm sorry, you are worried!"

Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly pulled her son down, and ignored Xia Xiaomei and stood there aside. However, she didn't expect that her son was a lover of his wife. As soon as she lifted her robe and sat down, she waved to let Xia Xiaomei over.

"The queen... come and sit!"

Xia Xiaomei glanced at Empress Dowager Zhang, but pretended not to see her mother-in-law's gloomy face in an instant. She came over to sit down, but smiled and said to Empress Dowager Zhang.

"I came here today and heard that my mother was feeling uncomfortable, but I wonder if it was better?"

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded coldly, and then listened to her son,

"Where is my mother's body uncomfortable? Has the imperial physician seen it?"

Empress Dowager Zhang snorted,

"You ran out of the capital without saying a word, and went to Nanchang, a long journey. How can the mother of the Ai family not worry? They can't sleep for many days and nights. After a long time, they naturally feel a little uncomfortable..."

As he said that, he glanced at Xiaomei Xia.

"You are not three-year-olds anymore, you are so willing to do things!"

She said "you", but her eyes looked at Xia Xiaomei, and Xia Xiaomei said in her heart,

"Look... It turns out that what Qi Jie'er said is just the same. If you are a mother-in-law, you don't blame your son, you will blame your daughter-in-law!"

Because I was prepared in my heart, I was not angry, so I quickly got up and saluted.

"What the mother blamed is that the son knew he was wrong!"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had accepted her mistake, Empress Dowager Zhang naturally took advantage of the situation and wanted to show off her mother-in-law's power. She snorted immediately,

"Just just saying that you know your mistake, you may not admit it in your heart, but you are afraid that there will be a next time!"

Xiaomei Xia said hurriedly,

"My mother, I also feel that I am wrong in my heart. I am willing to accept all the punishments from my mother!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was secretly happy when she heard this, but she pretended to think about it,

"That's it, that's it..."

A slight dip in the way,

"The Ai family has been unhappy these days, so you can serve the sick at the Ai family!"

Xiaomei Xia knew that she wanted to take the opportunity to rub herself. She had just said that she could not disobey the empress dowager in the face of the emperor, so she quickly lowered her head and replied,

"My mother is not in good condition, and the son should be punished if he is sick, so he cannot be punished!"

"Um!"

Queen Mother Zhang nodded,

"He is a sensible child!"

At this moment, the palace maid standing beside her saw that the heat was almost right, so she came forward to report it.

"The Empress Dowager, Concubine Shun, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Zhao came to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. They have been waiting outside the hall for a long time!"

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao.

"Since His Majesty left Beijing, they were all here to accompany the Ai family to relieve their boredom. They were all smart and smart...hearted... people!"

As he said that, he looked at the queen again, but Xiaomei Xia smiled and nodded, as if she agreed very much. Queen Mother Zhang was not angry and said in her heart,

"Is this girl really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I can't tell that the Ai family is using words to squeeze her out?"

Zhu Houzhao had seen the Four Concubines outside, and nodded and smiled.

"I'm here to pay tribute to the Queen Mother, let them come in!"

Someone went out to announce the Four Concubines to the Hall. When the four of them came in, they saluted the Empress Dowager first, and then the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. When Empress Dowager Zhang saw them, she smiled very kindly.

"Don't stand, you all give me a seat!"

The four of them smiled and bowed to the Empress Dowager, and then sat down to speak. Among the four concubines, some were as lively and beautiful as Hu Xian'er, some were as charming as Kou Xiangxiang, some were as dignified and generous as Wang Qing, and some were as beautiful as Zhao Sujue. If they were just looking, they were all a choice, and they were better than Xia Xiaomei.

They talked about family matters with Empress Dowager Zhang, but their tone was intimate and warm expressions. At a glance, they knew that they often came to see the Empress Dowager.

This time, the Empress Dowager was supporting her behind her back. Everyone intended to ask me to give the Empress a bad look, so they deliberately made a lively statement, leaving the Empress aside. Empress Dowager Zhang also intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the Emperor.

Zhu Houzhao is a man, and his mind is not as delicate as a woman. When the empress dowager asks, he answers, and the four concubines intend to flatter him, so he asks the emperor delicately about his experiences going south. Zhu Houzhao is also a young man's character, so he naturally exaggerates and speaks it with a deep eloquence, which makes everyone listen with relish. He also hears the experience of capturing King Ning. When he talks about the thrilling point, he covers his mouth and exclaims. Hu Xian'er said to Zhu Houzhao with admiration.

"Only a mighty and brave man like His Majesty can calmly play King Ning in his palm, lure all his rebels out, and capture them in one net..."

Another Kou Xiangxiang also smiled,

"Your Majesty is truly both wise and brave!"

Wang Qing also nodded,

"Your Majesty, I studied when I was young, and I also read the heroic deeds of Taizu's early battles in the records of Taizu. In my opinion, Your Majesty inherited Taizu's legacy..."

Zhao Sujue covered her mouth and said with a smile,

"It's not only that! Your Majesty is not only brave and resourceful, but also loves the people as a son. The elder brother of the former concubine wrote a letter saying that Your Majesty was rectifying the administration of the landlords, which attracted praise from the people. Now there are still people who set up tablets of immortality at home to burn incense and pray for Your Majesty day and night!"

Zhao Sujue's brother was the prefect in Yangzhou and naturally knew about the emperor's deeds during the southern tour.

...

They were talking about it here. If someone else came here, they knew that they were left aside so intentionally, and they were afraid that they would be in trouble immediately. But who is Xia Xiaomei?

The big heart is thicker!

This room sat aside and watched coldly, not only not annoyed, but also secretly said in my heart,

"Jie Qi'er really had a clever idea. She calculated that the Queen Mother's biggest killer move to deal with me was this. Maybe she wanted to let the four concubines take turns to serve me, so that I could share my favor! Look... Isn't this coming?"

At this time, the Empress Dowager was in Qi Jie'er's calculation step by step, and she felt at ease. She just sat next to Zhu Houzhao with a smile. While listening to them, she was eating tea with a delicate little bite.

Although Zhu Houzhao talked to the fourth concubine, she was holding her eyes. Seeing that she was eating sweetly, she raised her hand to deliver the plate in front of her. She looked at the tea in front of her and saw that the cup in front of her was already seen, so she delivered the cup in front of her to her.

Xia Xiaomei was not polite, and she squinted her eyes at him, took a bite of tea, and when she looked up, Zhu Houzhao reached out to her and wiped off the debris from the corner of her mouth.

Their love was shown as if no one else was around, and the four concubines' eyes twitched. Queen Mother Zhang couldn't bear to look at her, frowned and curled her lips and said in her heart.

"I remember that in the Ai family's favorite harem, the old emperor did not treat me like this in front of others!"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sour.

But she didn't think that Emperor Hongzhi was a gentleman who paid attention to his emotions but did not reveal himself. The couple was so loving and loving that they could be in the room, but outside, they were considering the royal dignity and the dignity of men, and they could not lose their rules.

But his son Zhu Houzhao is different. He is a person who is unruly. He is indifferent to his emotions and love and hate, and he is the most distinctive. He always expresses his feelings and acts in his actions. He does what he wants!

The intimate understanding between the two queens made the four concubines feel hurt. Hu Xian'er suppressed the soreness in her heart and asked with a giggle.

"The Queen is so envious of her sisters when she can follow His Majesty south this time. I don't know what the Queen has seen and heard outside. It's better to say something to me and others to open my eyes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the queen was sinking and couldn't help but feel proud. She really didn't open the pot of the pot. The queen was annoyed that the queen had left the palace privately. How could the queen not be even more annoyed to the queen when she mentioned this matter repeatedly?

Even if I heard that the queen was "very knowledgeable" outside, I would be even more upset that she was lawless!

When Xia Xiaomei heard this, she clapped her hands, shook off the fragments on her hands, and said with a smile,

"Well... As the saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, your mind naturally needs to be more knowledgeable outside to be more open-minded!"

Her words mean something, and everyone's faces stagnated when they heard it, and then they heard her say,

"I have to say that I have seen this too much..."
