My father is Jiajing

Chapter 454 Your Majesty, Please Speak
"Today, my brother Zhen came to my house and invited me to come over for a gathering. The princess is not feeling well, so you should come with me tomorrow."

After talking with Chen for a while, Zhu Zaigui finally got to the point.

When Chen heard that Zhu Zaigui was going to take her to Prince Jing's mansion, she thought for a moment and replied, "Your Highness, why don't you let Concubine Li go? I still have to take care of the children in the mansion. Concubine Li is also a steady person and can take on the responsibility."

When Zhu Zaiqi heard what Chen said, he shook his head slightly, "Li is not suitable. Although she is steady, her position is not high enough. You are the main concubine in the mansion, and your position is only one level lower than that of the princess. It is the best arrangement for you to accompany me to the Jingwang Mansion instead of the princess."

"But I am your concubine."

Chen was very hesitant because she had no children. For some feudal and superstitious people, it would make people feel uncomfortable if Chen went to visit the home of a pregnant woman.

Therefore, she was very worried whether she would create problems for Zhu Zaigui.

But Zhu Zaigui didn't care about this at all.

Although Chen has no children, she is not without merits.

First of all, Chen’s responsibility as the head of the palace is very important. Now the palace’s backyard can be well organized without any conflicts. This is Chen’s contribution.

Secondly, let me talk about a selfish issue. Because Chen had no children, her figure was the best maintained among all the female relatives who entered the mansion at the same time.

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why Zhu Zaigui was able to maintain his favor for her for a long time.

Moreover, Chen now is not as rigid and dogmatic as she was in history. She is also capable of some flexible ideas and can be considered a qualified and virtuous wife.

So no matter what, Zhu Zaigui had to protect and maintain Chen's status in the rear house.

Even if the princess really became ill in the future and could not survive, Zhu Zaigui would still support Chen's status and make her the successor of the princess, and then become the Empress Xiao'an in history.

Otherwise, if she, who has no children, was really left aside, then in the end she would not only not have a child, but she would not even get the most pitiful status.

Zhu Zaigui obviously could not do such a cruel thing, so he would not take a penny less than what was due to Chen.

After all, he has been in charge of the affairs in the palace over the years and has put in a lot of effort, so he deserves the honor!

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Chen's hesitation and interrupted her directly, "No buts, I am not a foolish person, and some things are beyond our current human power. How can I put the blame on you?"

"Besides, I have seen everything you have done for the palace over the years, and I have also seen how you care about Kunkun, Yijun, Yao'e, and Yao'e. They all like you very much. These are enough."

Zhu Zaigui's words made Chen's eyes turn red and her nose felt sore. She clung tightly to Zhu Zaigui's arms.

"I have no regrets in my life for having received such great love from you, my Lord."

Zhu Zaigui laughed and said, "There's no need to be so serious between husband and wife. Just leave everything to the present and the future. I'm going to stay at your place tonight. Can you think about how to serve me?"

After Chen heard Zhu Zaigui's words, a blush rose on her pretty face, which made her look very beautiful.

"What does the prince want?"

Chen's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hair, and the blush on her face was so beautiful that people couldn't help but want to take a bite of her right now.

Zhu Zaigui said: "I am asking you, everything is up to you tonight, I am just cooperating."

After hearing these words, Chen was so embarrassed that she couldn't even speak. She just lowered her head in Zhu Zaigui's arms.

The next morning, Zhu Zaigui came out of Chen's courtyard in high spirits, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was feeling a little unsatisfied.

It seemed that he missed last night's nightlife very much, and he didn't want to see the dawn. After Zhu Zaigui finished practicing "Xiantian Gong" and had breakfast, he asked Meng Chong to prepare the carriage and go to King Jing's mansion as a guest.

After hearing Zhu Zaigui's instructions, Meng Chong did not delay at all and hurried to prepare.

And during this gap in time, Yu Huatian came again.

This time, Yu Huatian presented Wang Zhi's new confession. Zhu Zaigui took a look and found it was indeed much better than the last time.

Zhu Zaigui said: "Well done, let's organize the materials according to the ideas in this confession."

When Yu Huatian heard Zhu Zaigui's praise, he was delighted. This was the response he had been looking forward to.

"Slave, you obey!"

Yu Huatian bowed again, and then went to prepare Wang Zhi’s “evidence” according to Zhu Zaigui’s instructions.

At the same time, Zhu Zaigui called Meng Chong back and asked Meng Chong to find Hu Zongxian's aide Xu Wei to come to the mansion.

By the time Xu Wei was about to arrive at Prince Yu's Mansion, almost half of the morning had passed.

However, Zhu Zaigui was not in a hurry to go to Prince Jing's mansion, because his mansion was not far from Prince Jing's mansion. It would take about a cup of tea for a carriage to arrive there, and just over a quarter of an hour to walk.

Therefore, there is still plenty of time throughout the day, and you can free up energy to do many other things.

"I, Xu Wei, greet the prince."

It was also the first time that Xu Wei entered Prince Yu's mansion. The moment he saw Prince Yu, he no longer looked like the calm and composed strategist he had been when he was in Zhejiang.

Instead, he was as excited and nervous as an ordinary person. After all, Prince Zhu Zaigui was very different from ordinary princes.

Zhu Zaigui was not only the eldest son of Emperor Jiajing, but he also held the important task of regent. The reason why Hu Zongxian was able to thrive in Zhejiang and drive out all the Japanese pirates over the years was inseparable from the trust and support of Zhu Zaigui, the regent.

Otherwise, even if Hu Zongxian had great abilities, he would be held back by a bunch of stupid teammates.

However, Zhu Zaigui gave Hu Zongxian full power in southeastern Zhejiang, so that he was no longer constrained and only needed to follow his plans and strategies to eliminate the Japanese pirates at targeted locations.

Zhu Zaigui looked at the nervous and excited Xu Wei, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the good luck of Emperor Jiajing's reign.

He had two of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Jiajing Emperor did not use them, this did not prevent the prosperity of the literary fortune of the Jiajing Emperor!

Zhu Zaigui said, "Mr. Xu, please stand up and talk."

Xu Wei was so excited when Zhu Zaigui called him "Sir" that his heart trembled with excitement, because this was not only a respectful title, but also a recognition of his ability.

Otherwise, how could such a powerful prince call him "Sir"?

Xu Wei said nervously: "I dare not."

Zhu Zaigui smiled again and said, "It's okay, there's no one else here, Mr. Xu, just relax as usual. I asked you to come here this time because I actually want to discuss a small matter with you."

Xu Wei quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please speak."
