As soon as His Majesty came back from Cihang Nunnery where the Queen was staying, he looked a little uneasy.
When he went to court the next day, he immediately announced in public that King Chen would be in charge of the Ministry of War.
His Majesty's decision shocked almost all the courtiers except the eunuch Li Changgui who showed no expression.
Everyone in the huge court was silent, and the ministers who didn't know what was going on looked at each other in confusion. Although the Zhou family members lowered their heads, their faces were clearly filled with joy.
Even the Minister of the Ministry of War had a look of shock on his face, asking an idle prince who had never managed the Ministry of War to help manage the Ministry of War. Just thinking about it, he felt that one head was as big as two.
King Chen, who had known the news earlier, also looked very shocked, "Father, I am afraid that I am not qualified for this job." He took a step out of the queue and knelt under the red jade carving the golden dragon.
His Majesty looked at King Chen who was kneeling in the middle of the hall with a very frightened figure, and felt even fainter in his heart.
"Can't you just learn it? Who is born with it?" His Majesty deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I have already made up my mind on this matter. Just follow the Minister of the Ministry of War and learn it. Is there anything you don't understand?"
Ask more and read more. Your brother, the Crown Prince, has already gone to the Cui family in Qinghe to pay the betrothal gift and will not be back for a few days. During his absence, you should quickly take over his affairs."
"Thank you, Father!" A hint of pride flashed through King Chen's eyes that were covered under his lowered eyelids.
There were officials who wanted to step forward to express their opinions, but when they heard what His Majesty said, they all stood in place. His Majesty's mind seemed unshakable, and there was no need for anyone to get into His Majesty's troubles at this time. They just had to wait.
If something went wrong with King Chen, they would be able to tell him.
Cihang'an
The sound of wooden fish came out from a quiet and elegant Zen room. Zhou Meijuan had been kneeling in the snow for a long time. She came here early in the morning and knelt down. It was still snowing in the sky, and she watched the snow slowly accumulate on her body.
White snowflakes appeared, and now it looks like a snowman.
"Your Majesty, if you let the girl continue to kneel down, I'm afraid she will have some health problems." Grandma Zhou lit three incense sticks, replaced the incense tails that were almost burning out, and whispered to the queen who was tapping the wooden fish with her eyes closed.
said.
"You still call her girl?" The queen did not open her eyes, and the sandalwood curled up around her body, as if a piece of light veil was fluttering, giving her face a more peaceful look in the green smoke, "
I’m afraid I’ll have to call her empress in the future!”
Aunt Zhou quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"She is so powerful!" The queen slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were deep and dark, making Aunt Zhou who always followed her a little confused. "I used to want to plot against Princess Anrong.
That's okay, after all, she has always disliked that girl Fu Mingyu, and I also look at that girl as a hindrance.
At first, she wanted to vent her anger for herself and me. But now, His Majesty has just come to see me, but I just have time to practice my homework. Let the girl bring tea and water to His Majesty, and then the girl can talk to Your Majesty.
They are rolling together, that is her biological uncle! What is she doing? Taking revenge on me? "
Grandma Zhou was speechless by the queen, and could only sigh softly, "My dear, the girl is also scared in this nunnery. When we first came here, didn't the girl just cry and say she wanted to go out?
"
"Did I not promise her that I would take her with me when I leave? What she is doing now is to use a pole to poke my heart, isn't it?" The queen gave a fierce force, and with a snap, the wooden fish was
The handle of the hammer was broken by the Queen, and the hammer head flew out.
This sudden change made both the master and the servant in the house a little stunned.
The queen was stunned for a moment and then lowered her eyebrows, "Go find another hammer to knock the wooden fish!"
"Yes." Aunt Zhou didn't dare to say anything more, so she quickly stood up and left.
Zhou Meijuan, who was kneeling outside the Zen room, saw Aunt Zhou walking out of the Zen room. Her eyes, which were already a little distracted, suddenly condensed. "Mommy!" She screamed in grievance, her voice was hoarse.
"Girl, please continue to kneel." Zhou Meijuan sighed, then lowered her head and wanted to go out and get another wooden fish hammer. She just walked past Zhou Meijuan and saw Zhou Meijuan's body softened and collapsed directly.
On the ground.
Aunt Zhou was shocked! She hurriedly knelt down and pulled Zhou Meijuan into her arms. She felt like she was holding an ice cube... Zhou Meijuan was wearing a monk's robe. The monk's robe was so thin that there was almost no cotton on it.
Inside, it was a cold and snowy day outside, and the snow was not falling heavily. Even so, Zhou Meijuan was turned into a snowman. It can be seen that she has been kneeling for a long time. How can this be done!
Grandma Zhou, who had almost watched Zhou Meijuan grow up, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mother, please help! The girl has fainted from the cold!" She shouted into the house at the top of her lungs.
Because it was Zhou Meijuan who did something she shouldn't have done, Zhou Meijuan didn't bring her maid with her when she came to apologize, and the queen only kept Aunt Zhou here, and the other guards were left outside the monastery by the queen. After all, her people are now
Young Master, most of the people brought out from the palace were the Queen Mother's informants, so she simply didn't let people around her, lest anything she said or did would be immediately known to the Queen Mother in the palace.
When the queen heard Aunt Zhou shouting, she frowned slightly, and then she smiled, but her smile was a bit grim.
The eagle has to endure it, and so does this man!
The queen felt that it was almost done, so she got up and opened the door, "Come in!" She called two maids waiting outside the Zen courtyard, and then moved Zhou Meijuan into the Zen room.
The old nun in the temple, the abbot, was named Huixin. She was good at medicine and would often treat nearby villagers. Not long after, the old nun Huixin was called over in a hurry. After seeing Zhou Meijuan, she said to the queen
He saluted and said, "Don't worry, Madam, the girl is fine. She just fainted because she was cold for too long. Can you give this place to this old nun? I need to wipe her body to keep her warm."
"Okay!" The queen nodded, walked out directly, and stood in the yard.
There is an old plum tree planted in the monastery, and now a few stars of flowers have sprouted. I think that when the plum blossoms bloom on the tree in a few months, the monastery will have a different scene.
The queen raised her hand and pinched a plum blossom bud. It was so small that it looked particularly pitiful lying on her fingertips.
The queen crushed the flower buds alternately, actually enjoying the process.
She really loved this feeling, just like Zhou Meijuan was between her fingertips, letting her roll around. The girl only felt that her plan had succeeded, but she didn't think about it, if she hadn't deliberately avoided it.
, and left a piece of spiced incense in the Zen room where His Majesty was. How could she, a little girl, seduce her uncle?
Is it just the purse she carries that is dusted with acacia powder?
