The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Sir, what's going on here?" After Yingyue entered the door, Zhang Fan didn't wait for Zhang Fan to smile at her before she opened her mouth to speak. She said she was speaking, but it actually meant reprimanding, "Why is Joanna My sister can go, but Zhaoxue and I can't."

"That's right," said Zhaoxue. Yingyue had just finished speaking, and before Zhang Fan could answer her, she started talking, "Why did you bring sister Joanna instead of us?"

Originally, if it was one of them who said this, Zhang Fan would be able to answer it better, but now, it was the two of them who spoke together, and Zhang Fan was helpless, but he didn't know how to speak.

However, just because Zhang Fan didn't speak, that doesn't mean the two of them stopped talking. Just when Zhang Fan was so hesitant, Zhaoxue started talking again, but this time, it was different from Zhaoxue in the past. He looked like he had been wronged and pitiful. He snuggled up to Zhang Fan's side, as if his hand had been bullied in half, and he tugged at Zhang Fan's sleeve. Said, Xianggong has a newcomer and forgets the old one, but now that he has sister Joanna, have he forgotten his concubine?"

Zhang Fan never dreamed that Zhaoxue would say such a thing, even though she knew she was just acting on purpose, but facing this situation, Zhang Fan was even more helpless than before. Obviously, this was just Zhaoxue's naughtiness, but in the face of this kind of naughtiness, it was impossible for Zhang Fan to reprimand her.

However, this does not bother Zhang Fan, after all the storms and waves in the court have passed, and he still has a way to deal with such a small situation: "Speaking of it this way, you are going to blame Joanna. , then I am a little confused, if you really blame her, why I heard that you are still talking and laughing with her today, you are completely like a good sister, "

"This..." Facing Zhang Fan's sudden question, Zhaoxue didn't know how to answer for a moment.

But Zhaoxue didn't know how to answer, but Yingyue's brains turned quickly, and she immediately said, "Master, how can we blame sister Joanna for this matter, after all, sister Joanna will go to Qiushou with Mrs. Isn't it decided by the husband, sister Joanna didn't ask the husband, we naturally won't blame her, but the husband made this decision, so this matter still has to be blamed on the husband, "

"You guys are eloquent." Yingyue's words made Zhang Fan laugh, but since Yingyue said so, he was even less anxious, "Then you have thought about why I brought you, but I chose to take her Let’s go, let’s not talk about Ruxue and Ling’er for now, why can’t the two of you go too?”

Zhang Fan's words made both of them silent. They naturally understood what Zhang Fan wanted to say. It can be said to be a punishment for them.

However, the two of them naturally would not approve of this kind of thing. Even if they knew it in their hearts, it would be impossible for them to admit it out loud. But now, facing Zhang Fan's words, the two of them fell into a situation again The situation where I have to speak.

Obviously, relying on Zhaoxue's not-so-bright head, she couldn't figure out how to deal with Zhang Fan's words, and it was even more obvious that she herself knew how much she was capable of, and now she had no choice but to deal with this situation. She knew that she couldn't handle it, so that pitiful face turned to Yingyue again.

Faced with Zhaoxue looking at her like this, Yingyue also understood that she couldn't deal with this situation, and now she can only rely on her, but Zhaoxue is also smart, she will not deal with Zhang Fan's problems, after all, such a situation Wouldn't it be necessary to admit that she was wrong when she came here? She is not that stupid. The best way is to avoid the serious and ignore the trivial. Change the question and ask Zhang Fan: "But my husband, even though I said so, I know that I did something wrong, but this I can't explain what Xianggong did, either."

"What I did," Zhang Fan was a little confused after hearing what Yingyue said, "What did I do? Could it be that I did something wrong?"

"It's not that Xianggong did something wrong, but what Xianggong did. I just can't figure it out," Yingyue said.

"Yes, what Xianggong has done makes people wonder," I don't know whether he wants to show off, or is looking for trouble, even Zhaoxue, who has no idea what Yingyue is talking about, followed suit, but if She didn't look at Zhang Fan with that worried look afterwards, for fear that he would not be able to answer her questions; she didn't look at Yingyue with that pitiful look, telling her not to make a fool of herself. The momentum is still very sufficient.

"That's terrible, I want you to talk about it," Zhang Fan said with a smile, not intending to embarrass anyone, "Tell me what I did so that you can't figure it out."

"My concubine remembers that Xianggong once said," Yingyue was unambiguous, "Although today's son is still young, and the matter of Qiushou is said in private, it can be regarded as going out to play and relax, but after all, it is the order of the emperor. Going out for autumn hunting, this name is naturally not weak, "

"That's right, I said that," Zhang Fan naturally remembered what he had said clearly, "After all, it's the emperor's trip, no matter what he does, the ostentation is naturally huge. What you do is not a major event related to the country, but there are many things that need to be considered carefully.”

"That's right," Yingyue also nodded at Zhang Fan's words, and continued, "Besides, I still remember that my husband also said that such a big event as the emperor's travel should not only be prudent, but also extremely courteous. The most basic point is that you can't do anything that is demeaning. For example, the ministers who accompanied the emperor on the trip also need to do it. If you talk about the accompanying ministers, it is obviously a shame to travel with the female relatives. Decent, isn't it, Mr. Xianggong?"

"Of course." Zhang Fan naturally agreed with Yingyue's words and nodded, "As a minister accompanying the emperor on a trip, it is natural to be courteous. For things like Qiushou, the emperor would I didn't bring a woman with me. What happened to the minister and his family members? This is why I refused to take you with me. You have to be considerate and considerate for me. I don't want the memorials to impeach your husband-in-law to fly all over the sky. Right," Zhang Fan actually guessed what Yingyue was going to say when he said these words, but he didn't intend to point it out at the beginning, but had to look again.

However, Zhang Fan's remarks are indeed a lot of funny, "the emperor did not bring a woman", this is a joke, after all, Zhu Yijun is only old now, even though he is the emperor Zhu Yijun, at a young age, his understanding of men and women is no lower than others, but he is only 11 years old after all, it is a bit too early to talk about women now, of course, although the truth is so, but the words cannot That's it.

"Naturally I don't want to be a concubine at this point," Yingyue said, "But if Xianggong didn't take the two of us with him until the end, then that would be fine, but in the end, Xianggong decided to take us with you." I took my sister Joanna with me, this is something I can't figure out, isn't it a minister who accompanies the emperor on a trip and is not allowed to bring his female relatives with him? Isn't it a blatant violation of this regulation when the husband does this?"

"That's right," obviously, after Yingyue's explanation, Zhaoxue at the side also understood what was going on, and quickly interjected, "If that's the case, Xianggong should not take anyone with him. , why didn’t I bring my concubine with my sister Yingyue, but only my sister Joanna, it’s not obvious that my husband is being partial.” This time, Zhaoxue finally understood what was going on, so she was naturally unforgiving Yes, the mouth said like a cannonball.

"It's because you guys don't know something," Zhang Fan finally understood Yingyue's meaning, but even so, he didn't think there was any problem, after all, the starting point of his consideration was based on this problem. "I didn't do anything wrong in this matter,"

Seeing that Yingyue and Zhaoxue looked puzzled, Zhang Fan didn't give a shit, and continued to explain: "Think about it, I said before that you are not allowed to bring female relatives, and what is the word 'female family'? Meaning, I don’t need to explain it to you, I guess.”

When Zhang Fan mentioned this point, Zhaoxue couldn't understand it, but Yingyue already understood it completely.

"What Xianggong means is..." Yingyue said, "Sister Joanna, you can't count as a female relative,"

"Of course it doesn't count," Zhang Fan said as if it was a matter of course, "Although in the future... But now, she doesn't count, and I have already told your Majesty and the Queen Mother about this matter, and the Queen Mother also agreed. of,"

"So that's how it is," Yingyue finally understood, but in fact, what Zhang Fan said was correct, even though it was said that Joanna would travel thousands of miles to come here, in fact, it was because of Zhang Fan's The reason, but now the two of them have not done anything, and Zhang Fan has not officially married Joanna, so Joanna is really not considered a female relative.

Coupled with Joanna's original identity, even though she is no longer the ambassador of Frangji, it doesn't matter to let her go hunting together.

Knowing this, Yingyue obviously didn't intend to say anything more, but Zhaoxue was still a little unconvinced and wanted to say something more.

"Master," at this moment, a servant came to report, "A father-in-law came over just now, and the queen mother asked the master to enter the palace to meet you."
