If you think that Miss Zhu is only capable of being willful and spoiled... haha, then you will definitely be badly betrayed.
For example, the emperor was caught off guard and was defeated. He didn't care whether Hua Qi would tell Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying what he said in Qingning Palace. After all, he admitted it in front of Hua Qi, and irresponsibly threw the mess of Qingning Palace out, and also told the truth to Concubine Yu. But he really didn't expect Zhu Ying to "take a different approach"!
Facing those stubborn and clear eyes, how could the emperor say no? If he really thought he was right, he would not have left the third prince, the crown prince, in Qingning Palace to accompany the empress dowager for a night, nor would he have asked Hua Qi to go to Qingning Palace to tell him that he was staying in Fengxian Palace for a night under the persuasion of Concubine Yu.
Therefore, he could only smile bitterly and nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll give you the OK. Tell me, when are you going to ask the Queen Mother to leave the palace? I'll instruct the Sharp Cavalry Battalion in advance to have them guard along the way to prevent anyone from disturbing the Queen Mother and making her angry."
Besides you, who else in the world would dare to make the Queen Mother angry? Zhu Ying quickly glanced at the emperor, but she didn't say this, nor did she reject the emperor's kindness. She just added a few more words: "The date hasn't been set yet. My grandmother and mother will go later. Madam Qin and Princess Jiangdu will also go. There are many female relatives, so people will be sent to clear the area near the girls' school..."
Zhu Ying explained the matters of clearing the area and keeping on guard in an orderly manner. Seeing that the emperor was obviously distracted, she said calmly, "As the Inspector of Education, I had originally intended to lead the team to patrol and guard in person to prevent anyone from daring to make a move. Since the emperor wants to send the Sharp Cavalry Battalion, I have to say bluntly that I will be in charge of this team in the future."
"Let's just do this. We'll use the same team I brought to the Royal Farm last time. We're familiar with them now and can be used more easily than others. It's settled."
Fortunately, this is temporarily under your charge, otherwise I would be like a meat bun hitting a dog, and there would be no return? Ahem, fortunately I didn't say it, otherwise he would really be bitten hard by the angry little girl!
The emperor was glad in his heart, but he nodded his head repeatedly, as if he was very satisfied. Until Zhu Ying knelt down and saluted in a serious manner. He said that he was going to Qingning Palace and would leave. He quickly agreed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. But who knew that Zhu Ying would suddenly recite two lines of poetry without looking back after walking out for just two steps.
"Who says that the love of a little grass can repay the kindness of three springs?"
"Your Majesty, my mother has been meditating in the temple since she was a child. I can't see her all the time, but this has not reduced my admiration for her. After she came back, she treated me even better, and I was even more filial to her. Even after she got married, I often went to see her and accompany her. The Empress Dowager has devoted more to you than my mother over the years. You shouldn't talk like that. That's too much!"
Seeing Zhu Ying walk out with big strides after she finished speaking, the emperor couldn't help but rub his nose and sighed deeply again. I was scolded again, once last night and once today. It's really self-inflicted! However, the emperor who was high above was not angry, because he understood a truth very well. As long as there were still people who dared to scold him, he would not be so arbitrary that no one would stop him.
