Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 157 Qing Ben Jiaren, the emperor will not go to court today
Wang Chengen stood aside, looking at the busy Emperor Chongzhen at his desk, with a bit of hesitation in his brows, he wanted to go forward to say something, but he was afraid of delaying his own emperor.

After returning to the inner court, apart from taking a hot bath, his royal lord has been staying in the East Nuan Pavilion, dealing with the memorials submitted by the inner court. It has been almost an hour.

"Wang Banban, send someone to send all the memorials that I have read to the Supervisor of Rites." Emperor Chongzhen put down the ink pen in his hand, frowned and said, "Order the Supervisor of Rites, and other supervisors, to report the situation that I have annotated. , carry out rectifications one by one, tomorrow I will summon them."

"The servants lead the order."

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's heart tightened, and he immediately clapped his hands in response, and then signaled to the eunuchs waiting in the hall with his eyes, to send these memorials for review to the Supervisor of Ceremonies as soon as possible.

It seems that many things done by the inner court are dissatisfied by the emperor.

Wang Cheng'en, who was sorting out the memorials beside the dragon case, thought to himself that the outer court was uneasy, and the inner court could not be peaceful either.

"Wang Banban, as soon as possible, select a group of eunuchs who know everything from the inner academy."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, frowned slightly and said, "In the future, as long as they come to take turns in Dongnuan Pavilion, other idlers are not allowed to come in and out. Do you understand what to do?"

"The servant understands."

As the important place of Qianqing Palace and his daily location, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want eunuchs who didn't know the basics to bring out a few words here, which would be detrimental to his future layout.

Especially during this period of time, he wanted to carry out an in-depth purge of the inner court, especially when it came to Huangzhuang. Those house thieves who were attached to him must be completely and resolutely eliminated.

"What time is it now?"

After thinking about what to do next, Emperor Chongzhen relaxed his tension, looked at Wang Chengen and said.

"Going back to the emperor, it's already past the unitary hour." Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said, "My lord, the empress sent someone to deliver a message at Shenshi, saying that in Kunning Palace...the royal meal was prepared for the emperor, slaves..."

Queen Zhou?

Hearing what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen froze for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the face of Empress Zhou appeared in his mind. Since he came here, after knowing the situation he was in, he had never been to the harem, and even 'he 'Empress Zhou, whom I love so much, never went to see it.

At that time, the family was almost broken by Jianlu, so there was no way to have any love for children.

But now it is different, the crisis of Daming has been lifted for the time being, it is unreasonable not to go to the harem, not to mention that Queen Zhou is still pregnant at this time.

"Go to Kunning Palace."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked out of Dongnuange. Seeing this, Wang Chengen quickly followed up, arranged for the eunuchs outside the palace, prepared the dragon chariot, and drove the Kunning Palace.

Speaking of which, in the second year of Chongzhen, Jianlu's invasion of Daming not only caused great harm to Daming, but also caused considerable harm to Queen Zhou.

She was pregnant at that time, and Daming was in a situation of losing ground, which inevitably led to her premature delivery, and her second son, Zhu Cixuan, died not long after.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, seemed a little restless at this moment. How should I put it, he is a foreigner after all, and he did not return to the harem before, so he was also a little worried about whether his actions would be different from the original owner.

But what has to be faced, still has to be faced. It cannot be said that he will not return to the harem for the rest of his life, especially if he does not see Queen Zhou, it would be unreasonable.

Emperor Chongzhen still knew about this woman, Empress Zhou. She was self-denying and thrifty, and did not ask for anything from her natal family. She knew etiquette and righteousness, and silently supported her husband with actions.

It is the members of the Zhou family, especially the head of the country Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, it is true...

"My lord, the Kunning Palace is coming soon." Wang Cheng'en, who was accompanying him, reminded in a low voice: "Send someone, please tell the queen first..."

"No need." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "The empress is pregnant, don't disturb her, just go there."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had completed his psychological construction. After all, he was now the Son of Heaven, and everything he still accepted had to be accepted as it was.

After arriving at the Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen went to the bedroom where Empress Zhou lived. On the way, all the eunuchs and court ladies were rude.

"Empress, you have to take care of your phoenix body. Let your servants make these small clothes. If you want to wait for the emperor to come, you don't dare to work too hard."

"It's okay, I make some small clothes for the child in my belly, that's what a mother should do..."

Emperor Chongzhen, who came outside the palace, couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the voice coming from inside. The gentle and elegant voice shocked his heart, and the touch from the depths of his blood made his hanging hand tremble slightly. .

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, with a smile on his face, stepped into the palace, saw Queen Zhou, and said, "Queen, how are you?"

"Emperor~"

Empress Zhou, who was originally sitting, trembled when she heard the familiar voice, and the little coat in her hand fell off. She subconsciously turned around and said with a slight trembling.

"Queen, don't move."

Seeing the agitated Empress Zhou standing up, ready to walk towards him quickly, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "You are pregnant, don't be alarmed."

Empress Zhou, who was reminded, came back to her senses at this time, touched her belly with her right hand, her eyes were slightly red, and she stood there with a complicated mood.

The man in front of him was dark and thin, and Ming Dynasty was in danger, but he kept it from himself, fearing that he would worry.

"Queen, during this period of time, the country is not peaceful. I am busy with government affairs, so I haven't returned to the harem to see you."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with a smile, held Queen Zhou in his arms, and said softly: "It's all right now, don't blame me in your heart."

Seeing this scene, Wang Chengen and others bowed their heads and left the palace.

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, so how can the concubines blame the emperor?"

Empress Zhou, who was a little emotional, couldn't help sobbing, "Your Majesty, don't carry it alone when you encounter problems in the future, my concubine loves you..."

"Ha ha…"

Hearing what Queen Zhou said, Emperor Chongzhen laughed, stroked his woman's beautiful hair, and said, "I know, I will tell you anything that doesn't go your way in the future."

"Your Majesty, are you hungry?" Empress Zhou raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and said, "The concubine has prepared imperial meals for you, all of which you like to eat..."

Listening to what Empress Zhou said, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen felt that his empty heart seemed to have a home. In this ruined Ming Dynasty, in his backyard, there was a woman who cared about him. There are many difficulties, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
