"Your Highness, His Majesty said that he's not available!"
After Huang Dog'er finished speaking, he somewhat didn't dare to look at Lu's face.
This daughter-in-law, who was once praised by the emperor himself for being virtuous in the style of the late empress, didn't know how she had annoyed His Majesty, and now she couldn't even see his face.
And Lu was more than aware of what the three words he was unavailable represented, representing that the emperor did not want to see, was unwilling to see, and did not care to see. These three words coming out of the emperor's mouth represented a lot of things.
There are no secrets in the world, in less than an hour, it will be rumored in and out of the palace that the emperor has some opinions about her, his daughter-in-law.
The emperor's dislike of a person often represented danger.
On the way back, Lu was a bit distracted and disoriented.
The palace was a city, and the people in the city were the smartest in the world, and the most perceptive in the world, and at the same time the most mischievous in the world.
Lu thought about it all the way, wondering what she did wrong to cause the emperor to dislike her, cause him to dislike her, and cause him to have an opinion of her.
After thinking about it, there was only one possibility.
Because of one person.
Zhu Yun Yun.
Thinking of this name, Lu's eyes became stern.
Since the day of the Crown Prince's funeral, that oldest three who had always been deliberately suppressed by her and despised by her, how did he suddenly enter the Emperor's eyes? Suddenly became the emperor's favorite grandson?
Zhu Yunzhu, how suddenly in the emperor's heart, replaced the position of Lu and Zhu Yunzhu mother and son?
"What did he say in front of the emperor at that time?"
"It must be that the Emperor thought that I was a mean woman in private!"
"It must be that the emperor thought that Zhu Yunzhu used to be that way because he was afraid of me?"
Instantly, Lu thought of many answers.
Instantly, her heart turned cold.
If this was really the case, the emperor would not only have a grudge against her. I'm afraid that this resentment will also be grafted onto his own son, Zhu Yunzhu.
If you die, you die, but your own son?
What she has done for so many years is all for her son?
Thinking, Lu gradually in the palace, walking in the wrong direction.
"Your Highness, this is not a return to the palace, it's to the University Hall!"
A palace maid, quietly reminded behind Lu's back.
Lu stopped walking and turned back.
The gentle and dignified face looked like it was flooded with a soft light under the early summer sun.
She smiled, slightly moving the corners of her mouth.
But the words that came out were chilling and gut-wrenching.
"Where does this palace go, do you need to be in charge of this bitchy servant girl? "
"Your Highness forgive me, the slave girl was talking too much! "The palace maid instantly knelt down, her face pale.
"Heh! " Lu smiled gently again, then turned her head, her eyes became unusually grim, "Wu Gu'er, slap her mouth! "
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
The red Forbidden City sandwich road, under the crisp green shade.
Lu was still walking forward as usual, the soft cloth shoes on the soles of her feet stepping on the stone slabs without any sound.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Behind her, under the weeping willow, her eunuchs were slapping a palace maid's mouth left and right.
"See the Empress ....... "
At the entrance of the University Hall, the saluting guards and courtiers did not bow loudly under Lu's gesture.
"This palace looks at King Huai reading! "
With a faint sentence, Lu left the palace people around her and walked towards the school hall alone.
The wind in the afternoon was somewhat soft, and under the sunlight were the shadows of the green trees, as well as the occasional fallen leaves that swayed in the wind.
The windows of the academy were open, and from the outside, one could see what was going on inside.
Those young imperial princes and feudal lords, unmotivated to listen to the lectures, all tilted their heads and looked at the roof of the room out of their minds.
They were probably thinking about getting out of class early and going back to have some good food and fun.
"A bunch of losers! "
Lu's gaze swept over Zhu Yuanzhang's young sons with disdain.
Then her gaze landed on the front of the academy, the teenager who was concentrating on asking for advice from the teacher and had a somewhat slim figure.
Instantly, her eyes became soft and filled with pride.
That was her son, her backbone, her future, the treasure of her heart, Zhu Yunzhu.
Zhu Yunzhu held a book and pointed it out to Hanlin scholar Qi Tai in.
The latter showed a smile of a child's teachable smile, and then took great pains to explain.
"Your Highness, Emperor Wu of Han burned out on politics in his later years and lived a lavish life. At the same time, listening to rumors, father and son were at odds, resulting in the crown prince being forced to commit suicide."
"The cause of the matter is witch ......"
Lu stood outside the window and listened silently, listening to the Hanlin scholar explaining to his son about the gains and losses in history, listening to distant stories about intrigue and bloodshed.
Then Lu slowly turned around and found several of her Hanlin scholars studying in their office rooms, demurely jawing their heads and departing wordlessly.
As she departed, she was still all smiles.
This is Zhu Yun Yun's first time out of the palace, for him, everything in this era is curious.
Yingtian, as the capital city of Daming, was the most prosperous place in the world.
The streets were wide and straight, and even though they were not all stone roads, the dirt floors were tamped down to a solid level. On both sides of the road are thick weeping willows, there are peddlers sitting under the green rest, there are goods sellers hawkers yelling.
By the side of the road, there were also those three-storey tall merchant houses with signboards and fronts. Cloth sellers, grain sellers, wine sellers, sugar sellers.
An endless stream of pedestrians, dressed in all sorts of clothes, wandered leisurely along the road. There were ordinary people, scholars with boys, old men with grandchildren, soft sedan chairs, horse-drawn carriages, and so on.
Everything here looks so lively, people here look so peaceful, everything here is full of hope, people here have a face with vigor.
Zhu Yun Yun was wandering around the streets in plain clothes, and his pair of eyes were simply not enough to look at. This prosperous Ming, any ordinary scene, in his eyes are the most beautiful scenery in the world.
He was surrounded by the same plainclothes jinyiwei, as well as the palace guards, eyeing the surrounding crowd, each like a leopard that is ready to strike at any time to build up its strength.
After reviewing the elites of the Ming who were about to leave for battle, Zhu Yunzhang took the guards with him in disguise and wandered around the capital. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang had given him a day, and he also happened to want to see the true face of this era.
"Third Master!" Liao Yong behind Zhu Yunzhang whispered, "Go back?"
"What's the hurry!" Zhu Yunyun smiled and said, "It is not easy to come out for a time, how also have to stroll around the capital!" Said, the hand of the folding fan in the other side of the broad shoulders patted, laughed, "You do not understand, this is called immersive!"
Liao Yong did not understand, can only slightly bend over to facilitate the King of Wu patting him, at the same time vigilantly looking at the four directions.
He does not understand what is immersive, but he knows that if the King of Wu has any failures, they all have to lose their heads.
Everything was fresh in Zhu Yun Yun's eyes, used to seeing the skyscrapers carved out of a mold in the later world, the streets and alleys of this era were so humane.
There is no car roar on the street, no cranky drivers, no those who have written on the face of the hard life of the workers.
What is there is the unique peace and nourishment that belongs to this era.
Here, it should be the paradise of this era.
"Third master, back to it?" Liao Yong some brake continue to say.
Zhu Yun Yun shook his head helplessly, these guards were afraid that someone suddenly drilled out to harm him.
But think of their duties, if they continue to be like this, I'm afraid that they go back to be chastised.
Just wanted to speak, his eyes fell on a store selling candy on the roadside.
"Come out for a trip how also have to buy something to go back, there are two sisters at home, buy some for them!" Zhu Yun Yun smiled, striding in.
The candy store's fellows, seeing a young master with a group of long followers coming over, were busy greeting with warmth from their waists.
"This young master, please come inside! I have sesame candies from Shandong, plum candies from Yangzhou, chestnut candies from Suzhou, and osmanthus candies from Hangzhou."
"There's dragon beard sugar from Fujian, coconut sugar from Guangzhou, cane sugar from Guangxi, malt sugar from Pangzhou, and cheese sugar from the Seychelles!"
A series of words came out from the mouth of the little fellow, both playful and nice, saying many in a row without gasping for breath and stuttering.
Zhu Yun Yun's eyes flicked around the store and asked with a smile, "Little girl, and what kind of candy does the old grandpa eat? Come on two pounds!"
Carrying a few packs of candies in his hand, Zhu Yun Yun steps out the door, taking another look at the bustling street scene, surrounded by his guards, he walks in the direction of the Forbidden City.
He was extraordinarily happy today, meeting the Huben of Daming and this era of affluence and ease. He had a smile on his face all the time, not one that he usually put on, but one that came from the bottom of his heart.
But his smile, soon froze.
Eyes, changed.
