Empress Zhou watched her son leave and sat on the throne and sighed repeatedly. The female officials beside him knew that it was a dangerous moment and did not even dare to breathe. They secretly looked at the female officials standing in front, hoping that this Daguchi who was in charge of the orders and punishments could eliminate the empress's faint thunder.

As a female official of the sixth rank, Gong Zheng Liu had spent forty years in the Forbidden City. When Empress Zhou entered the central palace, she was already an old palace maid in her twenties. Because she refused to leave the palace to get married, she was appointed as the seventh rank Sijian Sijian.

At that time, there was a concubine Tian in the palace, who was also an old man who was hired by King Xin when he was in the residence. The father of Concubine Tian was in Yangzhou and held several famous prostitutes in Yangzhou. One reason was that he was so beautiful, and the other was to train his daughter. These famous prostitutes were all talented, and they were all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sure enough, they trained Miss Tian into a powerful general in the boudoir and the head of the rouge formation.

It was simply born for palace fighting!

The Concubine Tian really made Chongzhen obsessed with him for a while in his early years. After all, Chongzhen himself also had a plot of a scholar, so it was easy to regard Tian as a confidante. However, Concubine Tian did not really understand what a "bad couple" means, and rashly launched a palace fight and attacked the queen.

At that time, Tian deliberately replaced the eunuch who carried the chariot with a palace maid, which naturally aroused the emperor's curiosity. Tian said to him: "I heard that the eunuchs and the palace maids on the empress have many dirty things, so I changed them to a palace maid."

Chongzhen was a man who didn't rub the sand in his eyes. In a rage, he actually searched the Central Palace, which was quite a bit of a big deal. What made him even more angry was that he had indeed found a lot of underwear from the eunuch of the Central Palace.

This was originally a hidden rule for eunuchs in the palace to form a pair of food with palace maids. It has never been cut off since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was exposed by Concubine Tian to attack Queen Zhou.

At that time, Chongzhen Longyan was furious and even had the idea of ​​abolishing the queen.

At this moment, a female official stood up and bowed her head and whispered: "Is it not in Concubine Tian's palace?"

This sentence made Chongzhen wake up, and indeed, many obscene instruments were found in Tian Fei's palace.

This female official who dared to speak also became the sixth-grade Gong Zheng from Si Ji of the Seventh-grade Master.

Since then, Empress Zhou has naturally also had a lot of close confidants to Liu Gongzheng.

"Empress," Liu stepped forward and smiled, "I suddenly remembered the situation when His Highness the Crown Prince presented his poem to the Empress more than ten years ago."

Zhou Hou's tense face gradually relaxed, and he sighed, "How wonderful my brother was back then, I haven't learned to vomit me like this!"

Liu walked to the queen and smiled, "At that time, the Empress read His Highness's poems, but she smiled for a long time."

Of course, Zhou Hou would not forget his son's first work. The full text had been printed in his mind, but he still couldn't help laughing.

“The patio is surrounded by high walls.

Pebbles are seen in the clear and clear fish in the middle of the small fish garden.

Just drink water from the well and never grow long."

Liu chanted softly, his tone was gentle, as if he was reciting famous works throughout the ages.

Zhou Hou's smile gradually faded, his eyebrows were filled with sorrow, and he said reluctantly: "I have grown up and don't want to drink water from the well."

"I once heard Your Majesty talk about the private visits between you and the Empress, which was also fun. I really followed Your Majesty and the Empress, so much for concern for the people's livelihood." Liu said softly.

Zhou Hou frowned again: "If you just leave the palace and go out, it may not be possible, but now it is really not peaceful. There is a big epidemic in the city, and there are Jianlu outside the city. Oh, if Chun Ge'er makes a mistake..." Last year, Jianlu entered the pass and robbed, and the civil and military officials in the court had no idea. Now it is said that Jianlu has withdrawn from the pass, but who knows whether they have all gone.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been able to make plans and then move since he was a child. Even if it is a game, he has to calculate it step by step on paper, and he will definitely not easily commit danger." Liu said this and couldn't help but feel upset in his heart. Although he was comforting the queen, he also comforted himself.

A few days ago, the prince suddenly summoned Liu Gongzheng and said some stupid words, which made the old palace maid a little confused. However, when the prince came today, Liu couldn't help but recall what the prince said at that time. Every sentence seemed like an ambush for today's events.

In this way, the prince had long been determined to leave the palace to provide disaster relief. Maybe even the Prince Gong’s report to the palace was under his design.

This mind only comes from a boy who is less than fifteen years old.

Although Liu Gongzheng did not have to be afraid of the prince, if she did not make a good relationship at this time, she would not have reached the height of today - the head of the female official of the Ming Dynasty.

However, if the prince makes a mistake, she may have to spend the rest of her life in the washing clothes bureau.

"Oh," Zhou Hou sighed again, "Forget it, don't think about those, you can get the detailed list of expenses in the palace of the previous month."

Liu Gongzheng was blessed and walked silently outside Kunning Palace, and ordered the palace maids to go to the direct room to collect the account book. At her position, there was absolutely no need to run errands by herself. She just needed to get the account book in this side hall and go in to submit the service.

"aunt."

Naturally, there were palace maids under Liu Gongzheng's name on the side, who came forward to silence the sun and served tea. In the palace, these little palace maids often called "aunt", "grandma", "old lady" and other titles as respectful titles for female officials.

"What?" Liu Gong looked at his maid with a squint, "What do you want to say?"

The young maid slapped the round fan, bit her lip gently, and said boldly: "Auntie is very involved this time..."

Liu Gong was taking the teacup and sipped gently: "Don't you understand?"

"I am foolish." The young maid lowered her head.

Of course she is not a fool, otherwise she would not have been favored by the old man in the palace and brought by her side.

All she lacks is the experience of judging people.

"You must think that if you don't see any benefits in speaking for the prince, you have to take risks first. Right?" Liu Gong said leisurely.

"Even if your aunt doesn't help the prince, your highness may not hold a grudge against her." The maid said carefully.

"Silly girl, what kind of person do you think the prince is?" Liu Gongzheng sighed.

The maid shook her head slightly, not knowing whether she dared not say it or not.

Liu Gongzheng sighed and said, "Do you think Tian Cunshanzhen fell into the water by himself?"

The maid took a breath of air. She knew that Tian Cunshan was the Eastern Palace Dianxi, who was appointed as the eleventh year of Chongzhen. One day, the prince ascended the emperor and he was a dragon, and his status was not low. As for the official's mistake in the water, the palace also heard about it. Now Liu Gong was suddenly asking for trouble, which made the young maid full of hearts. She couldn't help but say: "Is the prince pushing him down?"

Liu Gongzheng said without comment: "Why did Keshi be so enchanted by the late emperor in the past?"

"this……"

"This is to meet his preference." Liu Gong was hearing the footsteps from outside, which were the sound of soft-soled shoes stepping on the gold bricks. She stood up and walked out, saying, "If the prince leaves the palace, he will definitely be served by a maid. I plan to let you go."

"Thank you...Aunt." The maid hurriedly followed and said, "Please give me a note."

"Do your business well, do good things, forget the Queen and me." Liu Gong was stepping out of the side hall and added: "The cleaner you forget, the better."

"I dare not forget my aunt's kindness for raising her!" The maid knelt on the ground, tears fell on the floor tiles faster than her knees, making two clicks.
