A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Wang Chen turned his head and looked at the incoming person, with a faint smile: "Four brothers."

"Fifth brother." Yun Yanze walked from the dark to the candlelight. He did not look at the Zheng family in the cell. He nodded slightly to Liu Zhongbao and turned to Wang Wang and said, "Why did the fifth brother come here?"

"I should ask the fourth brother about this question." Wang Chen looked at Yun Yanze, who was dressed in white and incompatible with this jail: "You are not in the sixth house of Zhang to recuperate, what are you doing here?"

Yun Yanze slowly turned his head and looked at the Zheng family in the prison: "Please rest assured, my fifth brother, I am not here to intercede for my uncle and aunt. I just came to see them, don't think too much."

"I didn't think about anything." Chen Wang wrapped his arms around his chest: "Now that people have seen it, you should go."

"His Royal Highness." Zheng Zhen said: "We are all wronged, please find a way to save us."

"Cousin, the father is dedicated to the people, and the Minister of Korea and China will enforce the law impartially. They will definitely pay back your justice." Yun Yanze looked at the Zheng family: "If you have any shortcomings, tell me, I will send it to you. ."

Madam Zheng laughed sorrowfully. Of course, there was nothing in the prison, but even if his Highness sent it, they couldn't keep it. What I want now is not something to eat or drink, but I want to get out of here.

"Auntie." Yun Yanze smiled apologetically to Madam Zheng: "Please forgive my incompetence, I can't pay you back innocence right away. Now... Now the mother concubine has been relegated to a beauty, I am deeply in the palace, and I can't take care of many things. . But there is one thing you can rest assured that the little cousin is locked up in another courtyard, and I will arrange for someone to take good care of him."

"I believe you are innocent." Across the cell, he smiled softly and like a jade: "You guys cooperate with the investigations of the six adults, so don't worry about the little cousin. Everything is with me."

Mrs. Zheng's hand holding the railing tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened: "With your Royal Highness watching, I'm relieved."

"It's good for my aunt to understand." Yun Yanze turned his head to look at Liu Zhongbao: "Daddy Liu, can I send someone to send some clothes to my uncle and aunt?"

"His Royal Highness wants to give the Zheng family something, you can draw up a list to the old slave, and the old slave will send it for you." Liu Zhongbao smiled and said: "His highness is kind, and the old slave understands it, but the prison has the rules in the prison. , Please don’t embarrass old slaves.”

"Thank you Liu Gonggong." Yun Yanze paused, then turned to look at the Zheng family: "Then I won't disturb the fifth brother and Liu Gonggong, and leave."

Yun Yanze left when he came, leaving nothing, asking nothing, it seemed that he was really only here to care about his uncle who was imprisoned in the jail.

Wang Chen gave a mocking smile and raised his hand to the dragon guard standing next to him: "Don't be stunned, take Zheng Wangnan to the bidet room."

"I said, I said." Big drops of tears rolled down Madam Zheng's cheeks, and she choked up: "The master and the old lady don't know about these things. I did everything."

Master Zheng, who was lying on the ground, was stunned, and then looked at her in astonishment: "Madam, why do you want to do this, that's a big crime of beheading!"

"I am to blame for all this." Madam Zheng covered her face and wept bitterly: "I am all to blame."

"Mother, how come?" Zheng Zhen always thought that his family was framed by a concubine, but he didn't expect all of this to be true?

"Twenty years ago, the concubine and the imperial concubine met in a teahouse in the capital. The imperial concubine and the imperial concubine looked like a god, and the sinner was jealous. After the imperial concubine entered the palace, the sinner came to the palace as a guest. I felt more resentful towards the imperial concubine. Later, when your majesty became the throne, the criminal woman learned that the imperial concubine was going to drive south, so she felt harmful.

"The sinner knows she has committed a heinous crime, and she does not ask for forgiveness from the empress and her highness, but please do not involve the innocent." Mrs. Zheng repeatedly kowtows to the king and the king: "The sinner is willing to bear the punishment of thousands of swords to redeem her sins. ."

"Because of jealousy, so a young Madam Houfu sent countless killers to assassinate the noble concubine and prince of the holy family Zhenglong." After hearing Madam Zheng's words, Wang Chen laughed aloud: "This story is a very good story, but it's a pity. This king doesn't believe it."

"His Royal Highness!" Madam Zheng looked at Wang Chen in astonishment: "This matter is indeed the work of a criminal woman."

"Before this king came, I specially read the family tree of his wife." Wang Chen shook his head and said with emotion: "Madam's family has two older brothers and one younger sister. I heard that you have two older brothers and even grandchildren. The little baby is white and tender. Very likable."

"You committed this serious crime. If the Zheng family is willing to divorce you, they can naturally save the life of the whole family. It's just that you have pity for your brothers and sisters, who don't know anything, but you will suffer your troubles, be convicted, and go to jail. , Children and grandchildren will also enter slavery." Wang Chen looked at Madam Zheng: "Madam, won't you regret it?"

Madam Zheng knelt on the ground, shrugging her shoulders and weeping, Wang Chen stood for a moment, but did not hear her say a word of regret. Turning his head and looking at Master Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, Zheng Wangnan, who dared not speak, suddenly felt very tired, and said: "Put Madam Zheng in solitary confinement. If she suddenly died, the Zheng family wanted her to commit the crime to the whole family. Killed her."

"If she is alive, she will act according to the law. Infants under the age of nine and elderly people over eighty can be free from involvement." Wang Chen turned and walked out, and left a sentence: "Let the bear child of the Zheng family also come in. , Just stay with...Mrs. Zheng."

Walking out of the prison, Wang Chen let out a long sigh and looked up at the sun hanging in the sky: "Trouble Grandpa Liu to stay with me for so long, please do it yourself."

"The old slave retire." Liu Zhongbao said goodbye to King Chen, went directly to Taiyang Palace, and told the original story of what happened just now to Emperor Longfeng.

"This child has a character that has been unwilling to suffer losses since he was a child." Emperor Longfeng laughed out loud after hearing this. "When he was a child, he did the same. He heard the guards who guarded the mansion say bad things about me. He is a seven or eight-year-old little peasant. , I dared to rush up to fight with others, and came back with a swollen nose and swollen face. He told me triumphantly that he grabbed a lot of the other's hair."

"The old slave still remembers that at that time, the little majesty's forehead was swollen with a big bag, and his trousers broke." Liu Zhongbao smiled: "When I was eating at night, my highness ate half of your meal."

When he was confined in the hidden mansion back then, his life was particularly hard, and even the rice was rationed. The little majesty had a big appetite and a lively character. The royal concubine was in the backyard and planted some sweet potatoes. She was too hungry at night, so she cut out a sweet potato from the ground, peeled it clean and continued to sleep.

Recalling the past, Emperor Longfeng smiled, even he himself did not expect that the girl who was sent to the palace by her biological father would accompany him through the ups and downs for so many years.

His mother and concubine were born humble, and every woman in the palace was not his own choice. Only Meidai, he saw her being sent to the palace by her father, crying so pears and rain, very pitiful, if he was driven away, there might be nowhere to go, so he nodded and let her stay.

"New Year is coming soon." Emperor Longfeng looked at the blooming red plums outside the window: "Go pick a few well-opened branches, and I will take them to Mingyue Palace."

"The old slave is going now." Liu Zhongbao trot under the plum tree and stirred up the plum blossom.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Jiuzhu lay on the wall adjacent to his home and his uncle's house, waiting for his sixth brother to come back.

Wait and wait, there was finally movement in the yard. She saw Ming Cunfu walking into the yard with a smile, and she knew that the marriage was complete.

"Brother Six, Brother Six." Jiuzhu waved at him at the top of the wall: "Congratulations Brother Six got what he wanted."

"Young Master Six, you can count as coming back." The Spring Equinox smiled helplessly at Ming Cunfu: "Miss is not going anywhere today. I have waited here for a full hour."

"Thank you for my sister's concern." Ming Cunfu took out a purse from his arms and stuffed it to Jiuzhu across the wall: "You use the money to buy rouge."

"Thank you Brother Six." Jiuzhu took it happily, and it was the best choice to wait for Brother Six to come back here as expected.

The Zhanxi money given to her by the sixth brother, the New Year's money given by the elders, and the New Year gifts issued by the Palace Province to the county lord, all of these were added, and she had the money to bring it into the palace.

After getting the money, Jiuzhu decisively got down from the fence, turned around and left in a good mood.

Ming Cunfu looked at his sister's ruthless back and suspected that she was waiting here for so long to get him to pay for it.

No, how could he think of his innocent and lovely sister so much!

He is not a competent brother.

"Twelve!" Jiuzhu opened the purse Ming Cunfu gave her and laughed happily: "Sixth brother is so generous today!"

She put the silver in the box and counted the contents back and forth.

"Miss." The vernal equinox fed her a piece of fruit and reminded her in a low voice: "On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in previous years, the managers of every village and shop would come to the mansion to pay the profit."

Smart juniors, when the elders count money, they must learn to serve tea and water. When the elders are happy, won't the money be available?

"Thank you Sister Vernal Equinox, I'm going to talk to my mother." Jiuzhu hurriedly swallowed the fruit, and ran to the main courtyard with her skirt.

"Oh." The Equinox glanced at the small box that had not been closed, and helped Jiuzhu put the box away.

Ordinary parents and children get along, but the old lady and the young lady have been waiting for happiness for 16 years.

"Jiuzhu." Shen's counted Liyin, and saw the daughter who was probing her head at the door, and beckoned to her: "Come in, come in."

"Mother." Jiuzhu looked at the consistent copper coins in cloth bags, and exclaimed sincerely: "A lot of money."

"This is the harvest of Zhuangzi last year." Shen grabbed the broken silver and stuffed Jiuzhu with a gentle smile: "Take it, sit by the side and play, don't bother me afterwards."

"Thank you, mother." Jiuzhu put the broken silver into his purse and sat beside him obediently, watching Shen's abacus crackling.

"If it's boring, just go play." Shen looked up at her daughter: "Don't be bored with yourself."

"It's not boring." Jiuzhu shook her head seriously: "When my daughter came to the city when she was a child, when she saw the proprietress selling steamed buns settle accounts, her daughter sat next to her and waited for her. She gave her five copper plates."

Speaking of this, Jiuzhu smiled: "Mother is much more generous than the boss, and gave me a handful of silver."

Shen paused with the abacus, she stood up, walked to Jiu Zhu, and hugged her into her arms.

Jiuzhu, her child.

She must make her the happiest girl in Beijing.

"Mother." Jiuzhu hugged Shen with her backhand, rubbing against her like a puppy, "Father said I'm Xiemu today, why aren't you at home?"

"He." Shen touched his daughter's head: "He went to settle the accounts."

Jiuzhu was puzzled: "I have some annual accounts, do I need my father to go out and calculate?"

"Of course." Shen smiled: "It's almost the New Year, and it's getting cold. I have to get back the debt I owed."
