In the throne room, Cao Zhengchun came to Zhu Yijun's side humbly and said very intimately,""Your Majesty, this old servant has collected many rare treasures outside the palace…"
"Moreover, we have also gathered many beautiful wives for His Majesty. If we disguise ourselves and leave the palace, no one will find out.”
Cao Zhengchun looked like a treacherous official.
This was simply the appearance of a great villain, tricking the monarch into indulging in pleasure.
In the palace, Feng Bao served as the eunuch of the palm print and the governor of the East Chamber. He discussed everything with Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet.
In Feng Bao's opinion.
The Emperor was only a ten-year-old youth who had just ascended the throne. All the power was held in the hands of the Empress Dowager and the cabinet…
An emperor without imperial power was just a canary in a cage, not a fierce tiger!
In the East Chamber, Cao Zhengchun and Feng Bao formed two opposing forces.
Although Feng Bao was a eunuch with a seal and the supervisor of the East Chamber, his martial arts skills were not high, and he was not as ruthless as Cao Zhengchun. The East Chamber's hounds were controlled by Cao Zhengchun, the deputy supervisor of the East Chamber. Feng Bao was only the supervisor of the East Chamber in name.
Cao Zhengchun's reputation in the imperial court was in shambles and he had countless enemies, but Feng Bao was on good terms with the cabinet's assistant minister…
Cao Zhengchun was indeed trying his best to curry favor with the emperor.
He was not Feng Bao. He did not have the ability to gain favor from both sides, nor did he become a eunuch with a seal. He also did not make many friends. Even Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, was his distinguished guest. In the harem, the two empress dowager also looked at him differently.
Cao Zhengchun was only the Deputy Governor of the East Chamber. He had made countless enemies in the court, and the only thing he relied on was the imperial power.
He knew that the Emperor would grow up sooner or later. If the Emperor regained control of the imperial power one day, he, Cao Zhengchun, would be the most favored official.
As for those who looked down on the emperor, they would probably be killed!
Cao Zhengchun had to let the Emperor gain power as soon as possible. Only when the Emperor gained power could he become the most favored official in the court!
He would not be like Feng Bao, always pretending to be noble in front of the emperor.
Cao Zhengchun was a treacherous official who wanted to coax the emperor. If the emperor wanted to eat, drink, and play, he would do everything he could to satisfy the emperor.
In Cao Zhengchun's opinion, this was what eunuchs should do.
Feng Bao has put the cart before the horse. You're always trying to please the Empress Dowager and not the Emperor. One day, you'll suffer!
Zhu Yijun looked at Cao Zhengchun's solemn expression.
"Won't I be discovered when I leave the palace?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This old servant will cover for you, and the Empress Dowager will not know that you left the palace!”
Cao Zhengchun's appearance made Zhu Yijun sigh. No wonder the emperors favored eunuchs. Which emperor could refuse a eunuch like Cao Zhengchun?
Zhu Yijun changed into casual clothes and left the palace in disguise.
Cao Zhengchun followed Tian Zi closely.
After leaving the palace, Cao Zhengchun was preparing to follow the plan and accompany the emperor to West Stream Garden.
It was the most interesting place in the capital. There were many rare animals, such as elephants, leopards, lions, tigers, and so on…
"Your Majesty, let's go to West Stream Garden. This old servant has set up a pavilion next to West Stream Garden. There are many singers and beauties in the pavilion…"
Before Cao Zhengchun could finish, Zhu Yijun said,""Where does Yu Dayou live?"
Cao Zhengchun was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
He had brought the Emperor out of the palace to play, so why did the Emperor ask about Yu Dayou?
"Your Majesty, Yu Dayou has been demoted and is idle at home.”
"Accompany me to see Yu Dayou!"
Cao Zhengchun was stunned…
What was going on?
Cao Zhengchun had brought Zhu Yijun out of the palace to play, but the Emperor wanted to see Yu Dayou and did not have the leisure to play at all.
Cao Zhengchun immediately stopped letting his imagination run wild. Wherever His Majesty said, he would go immediately!
There was no need to ask any unnecessary questions.
His Majesty's words were the heavens!
Cao Zhengchun was still relying on the Emperor. He believed that one day, the Emperor would take back the imperial power and he would become the Emperor's most favored subordinate!
What he wanted to do was to do his best to help the emperor govern!
Only when the emperor personally ruled could he gain power!
Cao Zhengchun's heart was as clear as a mirror!
……
In the Imperial Palace, after Feng Bao left the royal study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill run down his spine. Especially when the Emperor asked about Yu Dayou, it gave Feng Bao the illusion that the Emperor had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
Was this an illusion?
That's right!
It was an illusion!
The Emperor was only ten years old, and his mind was still undeveloped!
Feng Bao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and went to Chuxiu Palace to report to the Empress Dowager.
There were two empress dowager in the harem, one empress dowager and one empress dowager.
Empress Dowager Chen lived in Ciqing Palace, the former emperor's main palace. Empress Dowager Li was Zhu Yijun's birth mother and lived in Cining Palace.
Because Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, Zhu Yijun's mother, Empress Dowager Li, was promoted from Imperial Consort to Empress Dowager. She and her sister, Empress Dowager Chen, were in charge of the harem.
Empress Dowager Chen was honored as queen, but she did not give birth to a dragon heir and treated Zhu Yijun as her own daughter.
The two empress dowager were in charge of the harem, and it was quite peaceful.
When Feng Bao entered Cining Palace, the two Empress Dowager were chatting and laughing in the palace.
"Greetings, Empress Dowager…"
"Rise!"
"Yes."
"Jun 'er, have you had the lotus seed soup? I made it myself for six hours…."
As Empress Dowager Li's voice fell, Feng Bao seemed to hesitate and wanted to say something.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows.”
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, His Majesty didn't drink a single mouthful…It seems like he has something on his mind.”
Empress Dowager Chen heard Feng Baozhi and said,""Jun 'er's only ten years old. Feng Bao, stop trying to sow discord here!”
When Feng Bao heard the Empress Dowager's words, he immediately knelt on the ground.""I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense!”
When Empress Dowager Li heard the Empress Dowager's words, she did not ask too much. Although Empress Dowager Li was Zhu Yijun's biological mother, the Empress Dowager was the master of the harem. She only became the Empress Dowager because of her son.
"You may leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
After Feng Bao left, the Empress Dowager looked at Consort Li and said,""Sister, they're just exaggerating. Jun 'er must be tired of drinking lotus seed soup. What's on her mind? You shouldn't listen to others. You should trust Jun 'er!”
Lady Chen was weak and sickly, so she liked Zhu Yijun very much. Empress Dowager Chen had the habit of taking afternoon naps, but Zhu Yijun liked to play with her since she was young. Even during afternoon naps, if Zhu Yijun came, Lady Chen would not feel sleepy at all.
Every time Madam Chen heard the sound of the child's running shoes, she was very happy. Madam Li wanted to teach Zhu Yijun not to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, but Empress Dowager Chen said that it was fine and played with Zhu Yijun...
Miss Chen was very young and beautiful. Although she was the Empress Dowager, she was only 26 years old…
Zhu Yijun's biological mother was only twenty-seven years old this year…
The Empress Dowager usually did not get involved in the matters of the Li Consortium and the Emperor.
But today, the Empress Dowager had some words to warn Consort Li.
"I heard a few days ago that you sent Zhang Baigui into the palace to reprimand Jun 'er and Feng Bao to keep an eye on her.”
When Empress Dowager Li heard the Empress Dowager's words, her expression changed slightly. She hurriedly stood up and said,""Sister, I'm doing this for Jun 'er's sake!”
"I know you're doing this for Jun 'er's sake, but she's already the emperor. She's not the crown prince. Although he was not in charge of the government, he was still the emperor of Ming Dynasty!”
"Zhang Baigui is teaching Jun 'er how to govern the country, and I shouldn't be asking. But we sisters have some things to say. If Feng Bao keeps spying on Jun' er, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!”
After the empress dowager finished speaking, she said with a cold expression,"Eunuchs are eunuchs, after all. Eunuchs can't ride on the emperor's head. A few days ago, I heard that Jun 'er was playing in the imperial garden. Feng Bao went to tell you, and you reprimanded Jun' er for wasting her time and making her stand all night…Jun 'er is obedient. She respects you and Zhang Baigui, but you can't bully Jun' er like this.”
"Today is the last time. If I ever find out who dares to punish Jun 'er again, I won't let it be a eunuch! Aijia will never forgive even the cabinet!”
Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er's gaze was extremely stern.
In his opinion, Empress Dowager Chen and Feng Bao had gone too far. They were too strict with the Emperor. Jun 'er was already Emperor, but she was still a ten-year-old child…
"Sister is right to teach me a lesson. Sister knows her mistake!”
Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er left Ci Ning Palace and returned to Ci Qing Palace to rest. Chen Xiao' er was Ming Mu Zong's second wife.
Emperor Mingmu's first wife, Crown Princess Li, had already passed away when he was still King Yu.
Empress Chen was from Tongzhou, and her father was Chen Jing Xing, the Deputy Thousand Households of the Brocade Guard.
After the Ming Mu Zong's princess died, she was chosen as the new princess.
At that time, Empress Chen was weak and sickly, and her face was haggard. She did not enter the eyes of the Ming Mu Sect. Even after she married Prince Yu, she had not seen her once. She was moved to another palace to live, and to a certain extent, she was banished to the Cold Palace.
The Ming Mu Sect had more than a hundred concubines. From the beginning to the end, he had never had physical contact with Empress Chen, so Chen Xiao 'er was still a virgin.
It's a big joke in the world.
Who would have thought that the Empress would actually travel the same path as the Emperor!
Most of the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards had never seen the emperor, but they had to stay in the palace for the rest of their lives…
Fortunately, the Ming Mu Sect did not have any concubines that were specially favored, and their reign was short, so Empress Chen's status was not threatened in any way.
……
During the reign of Mu Zong, Zhu Yijun had already been made Crown Prince.
At this time, Zhu Yijun had a very good impression of his nominal mother, Empress Chen.
At that time, he was also very young and probably did not know much about the politics of the harem. He often went to Empress Chen's palace to pay his respects and play.
When he was the Crown Prince, Zhu Yijun would visit Empress Chen's palace every morning after paying his respects to Fengxian Hall, Mu Zong, and his birth mother. Then, he would play for a while before leaving.
Empress Chen did not have a son, but she was very fond of this little prince. Every time she heard footsteps outside the hall, she would smile and prepare all kinds of fruits to play with Zhu Yijun.
After a long time, it became a habit, cold and hot.
At that time, she was only twenty-one years old. She was innocent, romantic, and graceful like Lin Daiyu. She spoke lightly and treated Zhu Yijun very well.
After Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he remained the same. Because of Zhu Yijun, the relationship between Empress Chen and Empress Dowager Li was also very close.
After the empress dowager returned to Ciqing Palace, she said to the eunuch beside her,""Ask Feng Bao to come to Ciqing Palace."
"Yes, sir!"
It didn't take long for Feng Bao to rush into Ciqing Palace. The Empress Dowager was in charge of the six palaces, and her status was far higher than that of Empress Dowager Li. Originally, Li Cai 'er had no chance of becoming the Empress Dowager. It was only because the Empress Dowager was generous that she had granted Li Cai' er special permission to be promoted. Otherwise, how could there be two Empress Dowager in the harem?
"Greetings, Empress Dowager."
"Feng Bao, do you still have this widow in your eyes?”
Empress Dowager Chen Xiao 'er looked coldly at Feng Bao.
"I dare not disobey the Empress Dowager…"
"Go to the Punishment Division and receive twenty strokes of the Tingzhang. In the future, if aijia hears that you speak ill of me again, I will not forgive you easily!”
"Thank you Empress Dowager for your mercy."
When Feng Bao left, he thanked him profusely. After he walked out of Ciqing Palace, it was as if he had been pardoned.
He also knew that the Empress Dowager forgave him this time because it was his first offense. If he committed it again, he would not have such a good ending.
"Let's go see Jun 'er…."
The Empress Dowager set out to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
