Chapter 353
Mother Wang is a person that Princess Anhe is afraid of. Zhu GuanLiang asked mother Wang to teach Zhou Leping the rules. After two or three days of learning, Zhou Leping made great progress instead of retreating. This result was far beyond the expectation of Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu is very satisfied with Zhou Leping's performance, thinking that she will be young soon. Before that, she called Zhou Leping into the palace to have an examination.
Zhou Leping and Mrs. Yu had friction before, and the conflict was even so big that they had to fight. But that was before. Now Mrs. Yu is her mother-in-law. No matter how old she is, she has to keep her temper.
Before entering the palace, Mammy Wang specially told her what to pay attention to and what to avoid. Zhou Leping also wrote down one by one, and inquired about Mrs. Yu's preferences. After going out, she bought cakes and brought them into the palace. When she saw Mrs. Yu, she happily offered them, "this is what I bought for you."
The maid next to Mrs. Yu took the cake and didn't rush to bring it up. First, she tried the poison with a silver needle, and then tasted it after the maid tried the silver needle. After confirming that there was no problem, she brought it up for Mrs. Yu to taste.
Yu Fu said, "this is the rule of the palace. You don't mind."
Anyway, she used to walk in the palace before. Knowing this rule, she didn't care. She shook her head and said, "don't mind, don't mind. What's the matter? Do you like it?"
Lady Yu took a bite and frowned, "is this Tang Xinzhai's cake?"
"Yes, I wish... The official said that you like Tang Xinzhai's cakes, so I bought some on the way to the palace."
Official these two words from her mouth appear awkward, Yu lady impatient wave a hand, "don't deliberately in front of me so call, you usually how to call him so come on, son big not from Niang, he likes you, I this do not have to accommodate him."
Zhou Leping couldn't take the words and giggled.
Mrs. Yu looked silly and stunned at her appearance. Although she looked much better than when she saw her several times before, it was obvious that she was so uncomfortable because she was bound by the rules and couldn't let go of it, and she was always tense.
She was so uncomfortable that Mrs. Yu frowned and asked the maids to step down. "Don't pretend to be in front of me. I've seen your virtue before. It's not like that. I have a headache."
As expected, Zhou Leping breathed a long breath, and his whole body relaxed, thumped his back, and immediately became comfortable.
Lady Yu rolled her eyes. "I know you can't be expected to learn well. How long have you been pretending that you can't? In the future, my son will succeed to the throne. If you are in charge of the palace, you have to meet your wife and be in charge of the draft. That's a long time. Even if you pretend, it's your ability to deal with these occasions. "
Zhou Leping lowered his head and said, "anyway, he will marry another woman in the future, seventy-two concubines from three palaces and six courtyards. I know what kind of person I am. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be in charge of the east palace."
Mrs. Yu rarely looked at her with new eyes. "It's surprising that you think so. But people are ambitious. Don't you want to be a queen?"
"Isn't Madame a queen?"
Lady Yu nodded, "it's true, but I'm not without ambition. Although I'm not the queen, I can't find a woman in the harem who is above me."
Zhou Leping said, "I have ambition, but the so-called queen is actually more like an official position to me. She is not like a husband and wife to the emperor, but more like a colleague."
It's hard to say that Yu Fu's heart is in trouble. Mrs. Yu nodded wildly and agreed, "you are very similar to me in this point, and I think so, too."
"But..." Mrs. Yu said again, "you are so indisputable, don't you care because you don't like my son so much?"
Zhou Leping said, "if you don't like it, you won't marry him."
That's what she said, but her expression still worried Mrs. Yu, "but I think every time you mention him, you always have a calm expression, no special surprise, and it doesn't seem to be very excited."
"We only met when we went out."
"That's not what I'm talking about."
"What's that?"
Madame Yu gave up and suddenly felt sorry for her son. This kind of woman can't speak to her too deeply on this matter. She really can't understand.
When Zhou Leping was with Mrs. Yu, they had a good time together. The relationship between Zhu GuanLiang and the sage was not so easy.
It's well known that sage loves his son, but recently there are frequent conflicts between father and son.
The reason is that the old emperor of Yong Dynasty, who was about to die, ordered his envoys to send a letter, which said that he asked Qi to return Yunyu. He also apologized for Yunyu's behavior and said that he was willing to exchange two commercial routes.
During the reign of the old emperor, no one can compare his ability to manage the country and earn money. It's not hard to guess what Yun Yu did in Huaicheng. The two commercial routes are valuable, but they are nothing to the Yong Dynasty.
Qi had no plans to be the enemy of Yong Dynasty, so the sage wanted to meet this condition. Money was not enough.
But Zhu GuanLiang insists that we should not let the tiger go back to the mountain. Yun Yu is ambitious and knows the key to their mechanism. If he wants to let him go back, it will not be worth the loss if he cooperates with Zhao Shiqian to counter his plan.
The sage thought that Zhu GuanLiang had helped Zhao Deng ascend the throne, and that it was not reliable for the two countries to form an alliance. Now that they have the opportunity, they even disagree. The central court is also divided into two sides. On one side, it supports Zhu GuanLiang. Most of them are young officials, and there are also some senior officials who are encouraged by Zhu GuanLiang. On the other hand, I agree with the sage that the value of the two trade routes is a huge income in a year. Why not? For this reason, the father and son had a fierce fight. Until lunch, the sage was still suffocating. But Zhu GuanLiang is just like a person who has nothing to do. He should eat and drink. From time to time, he gives Zhou Leping a few chopsticks, just like no such thing. On the way back after dinner, Zhou Leping said, "your father hurts you enough. If he quarrels with you like this, he will answer you. If it were my father, he would have pulled out the sole of his shoes." Zhu GuanLiang held her fingers and rubbed the top of her hair“ Ho! It's a common practice. Once I was beaten by my husband when I didn't write an article. When I came back, my father knew that he was going to beat me when he picked up the door bolt. I ran all the way to my uncle Qi's house and arrived at the door. My father took the collar and pulled it back for me. Then I was beaten and knelt all night. "“ Haven't you heard that you still have an uncle? " Zhou Leping recalled with emotion, "it's Qi Si and Qi Miao's father. A general under my father's hands is also his father. Uncle Qi is much more amiable. Qi Si and Qi Miao don't suffer as much as I alone."
