Chapter 439: Lord of the Ice Mountain
Kunning Palace.
The eternal light shone slowly and the palace ladies were obviously careful, for fear that the lights would be blown out with the wind when walking.
All kinds of pastries and dried fruits were placed on the case, and the eunuchs with their eyebrows were distributed around the hall, with their heads hanging down and silent...
Queen Zhang put on heavy makeup today, wearing a phoenix crown and red glow. In her dress, her beautiful figure looked a bit bloated. Queen Zhang has never liked to wear the Empress's court clothes, but today's life is different, so she wants to entertain Princess Longting who has just entered Beijing.
It is said that Princess Longting is related to the court, but it is very unusual anyway. The Queen is sympathetic to the emperor's painstaking efforts and naturally has to share some of it for him. Although she cannot entertain Prince Gao, she is just right for her to make Princess Longting feel at home.
Outside this Kunning Palace, there was a vast white snow covering a lot of places. The eunuchs originally wanted to clean it, but Queen Zhang seemed to love the snow, so she deliberately kept it. However, the roads leading to the palace were cleaned up.
After a while, an eunuch finally trotted outside Kunning Palace and said in a long voice: "Empress, the princess has passed Lantingzhai."
Queen Zhang's voice came from the palace and said, "Go and welcome, serve you very well."
"yes."
The harem was full of flowers, but when it was winter, all the trees withered. If it weren't for the snow decoration, it would be a bit dilapidated. The roads everywhere were full of eunuchs and palace servants walking in groups of three or three. However, today, it was obviously different. These slaves were obviously much more urgent than before. Even walking was low and they walked, not daring to make a sound.
"Is this the Forbidden City?" Bi'er's face was full of longing. She followed Princess Longting carefully, followed step by step, raised her little face and looked around. If the eunuchs from various prisons saw her, she would definitely scold her for not understanding the rules. However, at this time, the eunuch Jiang, the eunuch who led the way in front, obviously had no intention of scolding her. Instead, she smiled and led the way, saying, "Of course this is the Forbidden City, the Empress is inside."
Bier said huh. There are eunuchs in the Ning Palace, but the eunuchs in the Ning Palace are obviously much more vicious than the eunuchs here. How could she know that it is not that there is a distinction between eunuchs, but now and now. The identity of her princess is different. In other words, in the Ning Palace, the princess is just an adopted daughter, but here the princess has become a VIP guest, and the relationship between the royal family naturally becomes more particular.
"Princess, look, the snow is so beautiful." Bier couldn't help but scream happily.
There was no smile on Princess Longting Zhu Yueluo's face. The delicate face was still like a glacier, and the lotus feet under the skirt walked forward lightly without saying a word.
On the way, a woman in a pretty outfit was wearing a fox fur. It seemed that she had been here for a long time. When the Eunuch Jiang, who was leading the way, saw it, he quickly saluted and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."
"Get up, who wants you to salute?" Duoduo put on light makeup, looked arrogant, and put his hand behind him. He was also stunning, but it was a little more ostentatious than Zhu Yueluo. He looked at Zhu Yueluo with his eyes up and down and said, "Are you Princess Longting?"
Zhu Yueluo quickly blessed her body and said, "Have you seen Your Highness the Princess?"
Bier was also panicked and was busy performing her greetings.
Duoduo wrinkled his nose and said, "Everyone said there is no need to treat him, I just come and take a look." Then his face became a little unpleasant: "It turns out that my cousin is so beautiful, but that boy is cheap."
Then he told me what it was, so he called him: "Okay, I'm leaving. Eunuch Jiang will tell his mother later, and he said that I won't have dinner in Kunning Palace at noon."
After Duoduo said that, he hurriedly left. When a building blocked Zhu Yueluo and others, Duoduo couldn't help but caress her little breasts, as if she was taking risks just now.
Zhu Yueluo and his group arrived at Kunning Palace. Eunuch Jiang went in first to report. Queen Zhang quickly made a move and said, "Please come in."
Bi'er couldn't go in, so she could only wait outside. Zhu Yue Luolian walked into the hall and saw Empress Zhang sitting in court clothes and graceful faces on the bed. She immediately bent down and said lightly: "I've seen the Queen."
Queen Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "Get up, come, sit next to me, and let me take a good look at you."
Zhu Yueluo stood up, walked over, sat down on a brocade pier beside the bed, and said, "Empress Xie."
Queen Zhang couldn't help but laugh and said, "This child is indeed worthy of being born by King Zhou. She is so sensible, but when she gets here, she has to be like her own family, without so many rules."
Queen Zhang was not a stupid woman either. She knew that the emperor wanted to alienate Zhu Yueluo from King Ning, so she deliberately said that she was the King of Zhou's child. However, when she talked about her home, a trace of gloom flashed across Zhu Yueluo's face. To her, the word home was so strange. The Zhou Palace was once her home, what was the result? Later, the Ning Palace was also her home, but this home was even more lonely and indifferent.
Seeing that Zhu Yueluo did not speak, Queen Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "Come and eat some dried fruits and vegetables in the middle of winter. These dried fruits were tribute from Lingnan. They taste quite delicious. Come and eat some."
Although Zhu Yueluo didn't say much, he was very obedient and obediently took a dried fruit from the bronze carved pot and put it into the mouth of the cherry.
Queen Zhang looked at her and said, "How does it taste?"
Zhu Yueluo nodded: "Okay."
When she met someone, she always seemed to be a little cautious, and it was even more so when she arrived in the palace. This made Queen Zhang feel a little embarrassed. Often those destined women came into the palace and were shy, but their mouths were sweeter than the other. When Zhu Yueluo came, it seemed that she had the meaning of keeping people out of the house. Such people were difficult to deal with.
But since he was invited, he had to talk. Queen Zhang couldn't help but smile and said, "If you eat more when you have delicious food, yes, I will take you to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow later. I wonder where Duoduo's girl has gone. It's better to have her with you, it's better to be close to you sisters."
Speaking of enjoying the snow, Zhu Yueluo couldn't help but frowned slightly.
This inadvertent action taught Queen Zhang to see the woman's carefulness, not to mention that Queen Zhang had already looked at the princess secretly. To be honest, Zhu Yueluo's first impression was not that good. She always felt that she was cold. Queen Zhang couldn't help but say, "What? It turns out that Yueluo doesn't like to watch snow?"
Zhu Yueluo was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes."
Queen Zhang felt a little strange. She also had many people, from noble people to destiny women, and those younger generations, there were really few who didn't love snow, so she couldn't help asking: "Oh? Why is this?" When she asked this, Queen Zhang felt a little regretful. After all, as the queen who was the mother of the world, she asked a little rudely.
Zhu Yueluo raised her face, and there was no fluctuation of expression on her delicate face, but said lightly: "It snows, the ragged people will be frozen."
Queen Zhang couldn't help but stayed stunned for a moment.
She could not have thought that such a princess would answer such a sentence. In fact, this sentence seemed familiar to Empress Zhang. Her husband, Zhu Youting, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also hated snow. She said that every time it snowed, many people would suffer and that someone would starve and freeze. However, the emperor said this, which could be said that the emperor loved the people, but such a princess said such words, but it was a bit incredible. Empress Zhang couldn't help thinking: "This princess seems not simple. Look at her speaking and behavior, she looks like someone who has experienced something."
At this time, she was kind and nodded and said, "You are right, but I heard that the people's lives are still acceptable near the Gyeonggi. Although it has snowed a few days ago, I have never heard of anything cold."
Zhu Yueluo said: "What I am talking about is Nanchang Prefecture."
Queen Zhang immediately understood and sighed, "It's rare that you have this intention." So she gave up the idea of going to see Xue Jing and couldn't help but say funny: "You are a princess, but you know the general idea. However, this palace is the noble of the mother of the country, but you lack words and deeds."
Zhu Yueluo shook his head and said, "Empress is kind, my daughter has heard of it for a long time, but the empress has never seen the ragged victim."
Queen Zhang couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that she is a sensible girl. It's not unfair to marry Liu Chengfeng."
Zhu Yueluo heard Liu Chengfeng again at this time, but there was no emotional change on his face. As he heard too much, he gradually became numb. Even if he was a future husband, he would not have much dealings in the future.
When Queen Zhang saw Zhu Yueluo's face so calm, she felt even more strange. She felt that the princess's temperament was really strange. Other women heard her future husband, some were shy and some were angry. Whether they were willing or not, they would always have rich expressions. But it was Zhu Yueluo, but she seemed to have heard the name of a stranger. Longting County was mainly scheming and had great concentration.
"You have been to Beijing from all the way. What does the emperor mean with me? It's because people outside talk too much. Before getting married, they simply moved to the palace to live. Anyway, they are all their own family. It's okay. The emperor has been polite and caring for you. He has ordered people to clean up a palace. What is missing? Even though I told me, yes, you have lived in Nanchang for the past few years. It is said that it is a place where all seasons are like spring. I asked someone to go to the treasury to pick some tributes sent from Jiangxi to give you. You just need to keep in mind and don't think about anything else. There are very few people in the harem in this palace. If you have time, come to my palace to talk. OK?"
