Father can be an enemy to the country

Fortunately, there was a commotion outside the door, and the female officials who were drinking with the concubine came in quickly and helped the concubine clean up the mess and wiped the floor clean.

A tall female official who looked very familiar to Zhu Zhen brought another sour bamboo shoot soup to sober up the drunkenness.

After Concubine Chong choked, she felt much better. He took the big bowl and finished it in one go.

Comfortable! Concubine Chong wiped her mouth with her backhand and announced with a relaxed look, I'm alive again!

That gangster look is only a million miles away from the image of a dignified and elegant imperial concubine.

At this time, Na Niu Si was jokingly announcing the good news that the empress had regained her freedom and was about to return to the palace.

The female officials of Anle Hall cheered in the crowd, and some said sadly: It's just that I can no longer drink with you.

Alas... Concubine Hu Chong also felt sad for a while, and turned to Zhu Zhen and said: My dear son, I will love you well when I return to the palace. I will say goodbye to my sisters first.

Then he ordered the tall female official: Miao Shanggong, go and invite all the people in the hall and let them think about if they need my help. Let them just say that there is no such shop in this village. .”

Okay! Miao Shanggong responded in a rough voice, and walked out with heavy steps.

At this time, the prince also led King Yan and that so-and-so in to pay his respects to the concubine.

Although Concubine Chong was a little informal, she respected the prince very much. She saluted and said, Thank you for taking care of me, Your Highness.

It's all as it should be. Your Majesty is too outspoken. Isn't Xie suffering any grievance here? Zhu Biao asked respectfully.

Who dares to bully the old...well, I mean, we are all old sisters for many years, and we have a good relationship. Concubine Hu Chong smiled coquettishly. Seeing that Miao Shanggong had already brought someone in, she said to the princes:

You guys, stay here and warm yourself by the fire. I'll go inside and say goodbye to them.

Your Majesty, please.

~~

Concubine Chong and others went into the room to talk, and the Zhu Biao brothers sat down around the stove.

There was a new copper plate on the stove, and there were roasted longans, chestnuts, oranges, glutinous rice cakes, and some meaty meats such as dried fish and bacon. The variety was very rich, just in time for dinner that night.

Zhu Di was busy flipping and roasting food, while Zhu Biao peeled chestnuts and longans for his brothers.

Zhu Zhen was responsible for eating it while it was hot... He would eat the same thing that his eldest brother and fourth brother put in his bowl.

Does Concubine Chong know all the people in Anletang? Zhu Di was busy and mouthing into the room, and reluctant sobs could be heard from time to time.

It's impossible to know them all, but I think most of them know each other. This Anle Hall is not only home to the condemned palace residents, but also a place to house the elderly and sick palace residents. Zhu Biao carefully tore off the thin skin inside the chestnut. Then he put it in Zhu Zhen's bowl.

These people are basically the old people from Prince Wu's Mansion and Duke Guo's Mansion. At that time, there were few people in the back house, and it was more like a big family than now. The empress was also a warm-hearted person who treated everyone equally...

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Zhen, whose cheeks were bulging and chewing, and said: Besides, we have to wait for the concubine Ding to come, and spank the child on a rainy day - even if you are idle, you are idle.

Uh... Zhu Zhen almost choked.

What, the concubine Ding is coming again? Zhu Di made a fuss: How is that possible?

Then I have to ask the sixth man. Zhu Biao wiped his hands, poured a cup of tea for Zhu Zhen and said, I saw Wang Defa entering Changyang Palace on the way. I can't be sure that I went to say thank you on your behalf.

That's so rude. I have to come and say thank you in person. Zhu Zhen took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he...fuck, did he really go to invite the concubine? Zhu Di was shocked for a hundred years.

Otherwise, how shameless would it be for my mother and concubine to go back in such a disgraceful state? Zhu Zhen's thick eyebrows raised, especially if he thought it was insignificant: Supposedly it would be best for my father to come, but we also know that is unrealistic.

You have such a strong tone. You have to tie the bell to untie it. It would be great if Concubine Ding can come. Zhu Biao scolded with a smile and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Is this what you cried for? Zhu Di felt that he had missed watching a few episodes.

No, my voice is hoarse from crying. Zhu Zhen cleared his throat and said seriously: Fortunately, the empress is soft-hearted and can't bear to see the child cry, so she reluctantly agreed.

Nonsense, can that woman be soft-hearted? It's useless even if you cry and become dumb. But Zhu Di shook his head. This was not in line with his knowledge. Isn't it just wishful thinking on your part, or is it misinformed? I still don't believe she can come...

Before he finished speaking, he heard Eunuch Wang's high-pitched communication voice from outside:

Concubine Ding has arrived...

You're really here? Zhu Di's mouth opened wide.

So fast? Even the prince's brother was surprised. He glanced at the harmless lao Liu and said softly: It seems that it was agreed in advance.

Well, can I still brag? Zhu Zhen looked innocent.

Okay, good job Lao Liu. Zhu Biao smiled playfully, took out the handkerchief and wiped his fingers.

You kid, you must be hiding something from your brothers. Zhu Di grabbed Zhu Zhen's neck and pulled his chubby cheeks. You still haven't told me the truth!

I'll go tell my mother and concubine. Zhu Zhen broke free from the clutches of his fourth brother and ran into the house.

Don't run away... Zhu Di wanted to catch him, but was stopped by his elder brother. Holding the fourth brother's arm, the prince stood up gracefully and said: Welcome to the concubine Ding.

I'm too lazy... Zhu Di subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then smiled and said: That's fine, let's go to the theater.

You, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement. Zhu Biao rolled up his sleeves and pointed at him, but there was a smile on his eyebrows, and he seemed to have the same intention.

~~

Concubine Da Ding is indeed here. This is the condition negotiated with Lao Liu.

But when the honor guard arrived at the door of Nei'an Le Hall, she made no movement.

Wang Defa's warning did not force her down from the sedan chair.

Why don't your mother-in-law go in? Wang De asked Hou Lixie.

How can my wife, with her rich body, end up in such an unlucky place? Hou Lixie glanced at him and said angrily: Waiting here for your wife to come out, isn't it enough to give me face?

Hou Lixie, you should slap me! Wang Defa was so angry that he stomped his feet, pointed at the orchid and cursed: Not only my mother-in-law, but also His Royal Highness and several princes are in there. Do you dare to say that there is bad luck in it?!

That's right. Could it be that we are full of bad luck now? Zhu Di's displeased voice sounded, and the figure of the prince and someone also appeared at the door of Inner Hall.

Oh, your Highness, forgive me! Hou Lixie quickly knelt down and kowtowed: I made a mistake, I didn't expect that the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Yan are here too!

You really should slap me! Zhu Di snorted.

Hey... Hou Lixie thought he was unlucky and was about to raise his hand to give him a big showdown.

But there was a crisp 'click' sound next to her. It was Concubine Ding stepping down from the sedan chair.

The palace maid quickly opened the sedan curtain and helped the empress to step out of the sedan.

Greetings to the empress. The prince and his two younger brothers bowed politely.

Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince, may you both be blessed. Concubine Ding greeted her politely, glared at Hou Lixie who was still raising his hand to be slapped, and said, Go away, don't show your eyes here!

Hou Li thanked him for being granted amnesty, kowtowed and retreated, retreating in embarrassment.

I will teach you a lesson on my own, so I won't bother His Highness King Yan. Concubine Da Ding smiled at King Yan again.

Except for the prince, she didn't dare to mess with him. She was really not afraid of other princes.

... King Yan curled his lips. He secretly thought that this old woman was still as fierce as ever, and she didn't know how Lao Liu managed to control her.

Zhu Biao put down his hand and told King Yan to back off, and asked knowingly: We are here to accompany the sixth son to take the concubine back to the palace. I wonder what the purpose of the concubine is here?

Oh, I'm also here to take Sister Hu back to the palace. Concubine Da Ding maintained the most beautiful smile and said: How can we say that we are still sisters, can we still be at odds with each other?

Your Majesty is really broad-minded. Zhu Biao praised and asked, Then why don't you go in?

Haha, it's probably coming out soon, just wait here. Concubine Da Ding said with an awkward smile.

Okay, then we will wait with the queen. Zhu Biao nodded, being civilized and polite as always.

The night is long and boring, so it’s always good to have something to watch.

Thank you all for your rewards. I will remember the rewards from all the alliance leaders and we will update them together when they are released!
