Chapter 239: Let me take care of the harem

One emperor and one queen, hugged each other tightly, carefully avoiding the palace people who were busy making things to trade in the inner market, and came to Jiaotai Hall.

Zhu Youxiao let go of Zhang Yan, placed the candlestick in one hand on the steps, sniffed a few breaths of heat towards his almost frozen hand, bent down, and tinkered on his own.

Leaving his arms, Zhang Yan suddenly felt cold again, frowned, looked down, and said, "Isn't this Jiaotai Palace? What treasures can be found here?"

Zhu Youxiao was also trembling a little by the air conditioner. He snorted coldly when he heard this and said:

"If you complain again, I will never take you out of the palace again."

Jiaotai Hall is not high in the Forbidden City, with only a single-story base. Zhu Youxiao squatted on one side of the steps and used his sword to dig the frozen soil.

Zhang Yan naturally wanted to leave the palace. Without the emperor's tacit approval, she really couldn't do this. After all, it was too boring to be idle in the palace all the time.

It's also quite interesting to go out to play with the emperor when you have nothing to do.

She didn't dare to gossip anymore, pursed her lips and looked curiously. The emperor dug a small hole, then threw down his sword, and took out a loose stone brick buried underground with both hands.

Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands, threw the stone brick behind him, and then turned around to continue fiddling.

It seemed that he heard something, Zhang Yan was curious, and she squatted down, lay half of her body on the ground, raised her butt, and looked into the black hole.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao rolled up his wide robe and sleeves, stretched half of his arm directly in. When it was cold and the end of the year, Zhang Yan saw that a layer of hot sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhu Youxiao looked inside for a while and finally smiled:

"Since you, come."

Zhang Yan quickly leaned over and opened her eyes wide.

I saw a small pot made of clay, which was taken out of the hole by Zhu Youxiao. The mouth of the pot was covered with a sparse bamboo curtain, and a layer of gauze was covered with a layer of gauze, tied with hemp rope.

Zhang Yan squatted there, tilted her head, looked at the can, and then looked at the Emperor of Apocalypse. She felt a little disappointed and said:

"How can this broken jar be called a treasure? There are many warehouses in the palace, and they are not used to throw them away."

Zhu Youxiao curled his lips and was used to dealing with court officials. He had already practiced this skill that was not moved by words thoroughly, so he did not care about it.

Besides, he also felt in his heart that Zhang Yan, a girl, must like this thing very much, and I will give her a surprise later.

Zhu Youxiao put down the jar, sat cross-legged, staring at the jar, and let Zhang Yan ask questions and want to go back without saying a word.

As soon as his body was caught in a cold, the emperor was imprisoned and froze. He was completely separated from the warm bedding and Kunning Palace. This scene made Zhang Yan feel more and more that it was worth it.

It was a cold weather, and the emperor sat on the ground and looked at the jar, without replying, and didn't know what he was waiting for, which gradually exhausted Zhang Yan's patience.

When he came up, he didn't ask Zhu Youxiao's permission and jumped to leave.

"Stop!" Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly changed his face, as if he could not feel the cold weather around him, his tone was a little angry, and said:

"Wait, you will thank me for bringing you this trip today in the future."

Long Yan was slightly excited. Even the queen of the current dynasty was so scared that she trembled. As soon as she stepped on her feet, she could not step on it.

At this moment, Zhang Yan stood aside honestly and stopped complaining.

The cold windows drooped the eaves and everything rested in winter, there was no movement, and the clay pot, like a dead object, made a clear cry of insects without warning.

Then, the second and third sounds, continuous sounds, from weak to strong, and the sad sound broke through the air.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.

The Forbidden City is prosperous outside, with a scattered trunk in it. Even the noisy and bustling noises in the inner city and the north wind passing through the city are not as good as the croaking of the insects at this moment, making people feel pleasant and pleasant.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw that she was moved. His eyes gradually became excited. He stood up and patted his butt, and smiled proudly:

"Last autumn, the eggs collected by the Sili Supervisor said they were kept outside the Jiaotai Hall and kept for the princes and grandchildren to play. Queen, I think of you, so I will take you a can first."

"The winter will be longer and longer in the future. It is rare to hear the summer insects scream in winter, let alone in the palace. Even I have to bring you secretly."

"How about it, is this thing considered a treasure in the palace?"

Zhang Yan had completely forgotten her previous little emotions at this moment and said happily:

"It is rare that His Majesty is working hard in state affairs and still cares about me so much. It is even more rare that the Forbidden City in winter. It is indeed a treasure to hear the sound of insects this time."

"Your Majesty, how does the Silis Office do it? Let me teach my euns in the palace."

"This..." Zhu Youxiao was in trouble and said:

"I haven't asked about this before. You are the queen, so you can't ask more questions. I just call the female official in your palace who is called Ai to go to the Silijian for a question. All the old staff are proficient in various professions."

"At that time, you will do it every season in the palace, so that you can relieve your boredom when you can't go out in winter."

"Now there are disasters everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and the people cannot continue to be happy. I want to have such opportunities with you in the future, but there are fewer ones."

Speaking of this, the light in Zhu Youxiao's eyes dimmed.

When the topic turned to the national affairs, Zhang Yan's joy faded. She held the jar given by the emperor in her hand and walked forward a few steps:

"Your Majesty, the inner city cannot be stopped..."

Zhu Youxiao paused under his feet, and after a long time, he sighed:

"I know."

"I have difficulties in this kind of thing. You are the queen of the Ming Dynasty. Except when we are together at night, we usually have to know etiquette and generality."

"You only coordinate the harem with the decision I made, don't ask too much."

"It's not the past now. Like Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi's affairs in the past, there will be things to do in the future. I can't help you all the time."

"Slowly, Concubine Liu should give up and delegate power to you. You are the queen, so you have to take on the harem and take good care of me."

"I have something to worry about in the matter before the court."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao sighed again, and wanted to speak but stopped. But he put down the instructions that came to his mouth and just walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Yan's feet, which were lifted in the air, fell down awkwardly, pouted, and asked for a while:

"Then...will your Majesty stay in Kunning Palace tonight?"

"Not to stay."

Hearing the reply, Zhang Yan asked again:

"Stay in other palaces?"

"Not staying." After returning, Zhu Youxiao stopped at the fork in the road, chuckled and said:

"After this moment, those ministers may be holding their pens and ink again, and they want to criticize me for being greedy and lustful, and abandoning state affairs."

After saying that, he changed into a sneer:

"Some things should be done."

......

Zhang Yan stood there, holding the clay jar tightly in her hand, looking at the Emperor's back as the weather was leaving, and for a moment, she even forgot the cold.

At this time, a gentle sound of footsteps came from the corridor on the side.

"Who is it!"

"Empress, it's me..." It was Yu Concubine Tong Jing'er who came out of the corridor without taking the maid.

When the emperor left, Zhang Yan also hid the weakness of her beloved and changed into coldness: "How long have you been hiding there?"

"I didn't peek!"

Concubine Yu was so scared that she stroked her chest exaggeratedly:

"I've been here forever, but you haven't seen me."

Zhang Yan has a pretty good relationship with Tong Jing'er on weekdays. The two are not of high origins and can play together in private. After hearing what she said, she knows that she is not lying.

However, Zhang Yan still glared at him and said:

"Critic teeth and sharp mouth."
