After Lu Yun's death, Lu Qingtian took over. Of course, these things were not obvious to outsiders. Lu Qingtian naturally knew who Niu Yu was, so Niu Yu's position was firmly established. At this moment, the Wu family stood out and became the final candidate. Niu Yu thought about it. He also wanted a queen as a second backer. He also wanted to take advantage of others and be soft. After receiving so many benefits from Sun Bor, he had to do something. Moments before Zhu Qizhen died, a total of three people were summoned, Zhu Jianshen, Niu Yu and Lu Qingtian. Niu Yu's status soared, so he used all the power of the internal officials to guide Zhu Jianshen to choose the Wu family and change his appointment to the Wang family. Niu Yu naturally reported this to the Secret Thirteen Organization. Lu Qingtian was so busy every day that he couldn't care about Zhu Jianshen's appointment as a queen. As long as Wan Zhen'er didn't love someone, he acquiesced. On the day of the wedding, all the officials shouted long live and thousand live. Everyone was beaming with joy, but they were sneering in their hearts to see how Empress Wu would face Wan Zhen'er, who monopolized the emperor's favor. The ministers who were originally involved in post-election political activities secretly encouraged Wan Zhen'er in their hearts, hoping that they would start a fight as soon as possible, so as to relieve their own disappointment of not forming an ally with the queen. ??The whole world celebrates, is exempt from tax for one year, and offers amnesty to the whole world. Empress Wu was so beautiful in her heart. She became the master of the harem, the empress who cared for the world, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty were her children. How noble and glorious this was. There were tears of joy in Empress Wu's eyes. She was happy. He smiled dignifiedly and generously, shouting in his heart that he had brought glory to his ancestors. Wan Zhen'er was in the harem, sighing and smiling slightly. Although she was generous, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, everyone wanted to be the queen, but when she thought that Zhu Jianshen only loved her, she felt less uncomfortable. Wan Zhen'er murmured to herself: "I hope I can live in peace with this Empress Wu in the future, and I also hope she won't take the initiative to provoke me." Unexpectedly, Empress Wu took the initiative to provoke me within a few days. Wan Zhen'er. Wan Zhen'er was walking around the garden of the harem, and suddenly she heard someone whisper: "You don't know that bitch, you are so shameless at such an old age, and you learn those charming skills to seduce the emperor." "That's it, you. Look at her waist and face, everything about her is worthy of the title of concubine. I heard a while ago that she even dreamed of becoming a queen. Her rough hands looked like she was a hard laborer. She was destined to enjoy a life of happiness. Now she is dead with thunder. It suddenly rose. What a dissatisfied bitch." Through the gap between the flowers in the garden, Wan Zhen'er could clearly see a group of orioles sitting over there talking about herself. Wan Zhen'er sighed. He took a breath and looked at his hands. Although he never did any dirty work after entering the palace, he did everything during the years when he took care of Zhu Jianshen alone. As the prince, Zhu Jianshen was used to washing and changing clothes frequently, so Wan Zhen'er indulged her. he. Moreover, the certificates issued at that time were often withheld by the House of Internal Affairs, the House of Clan and the guards guarding them, so Wan Zhen'er could only wash clothes for others in exchange for some money. This hand was exposed to cold water in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it was completely destroyed in a short time. The white and tender hands became like withered tree bark. Even after taking care of them for a long time, they have not fully recovered. This was often ridiculed by the girls in the harem. Although Wan Zhener felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she did not feel inferior at all, because this was a testimony of what she and Zhu Jianshen had experienced together. She also liked Zhu Jianshen to put it on her hands every night. Apply something to feel. "Let me tell you, I heard that when she was outside the palace, she often fooled around with men?" "It's true or false. Don't talk nonsense. You will be punished for talking nonsense." "Sisters, where are you chatting? There are so many rules, but someone really saw this, Wan Zhen'er and" Wan Zhen'er was too lazy to talk to them, turned around and was about to leave, but she never thought that someone called her from behind: "Wan Fei, stop! Why are you so unruly and don't know how to salute me when you see me? You are still peeping from the side. Could it be that you are used to being vulgar outside the palace? Have you forgotten the rules in the palace?!" Wan Zhen'er knows Who is this? There is only one person in the palace who dares to talk to her like this in person, and that is Queen Wu. Ever since Empress Wu entered the palace, she had started to criticize Wan Zhen'er, because the emperor Zhu Jianshen only had Wan Zhen'er in his eyes, but he, the queen, had been keeping an empty house alone. How could Empress Wu not be angry? She was like all the concubines. Similarly, I both hate Wan Zhen'er and don't understand what the emperor thinks. The more inexplicable it is, the angrier it becomes. Regarding Empress Wu's provocation, Wan Zhen'er did not conflict with her. Instead, she avoided contact with her at all times. In addition, Zhu Jian was deeply protective of Wan Zhen'er, and even Empress Wu, the master of the harem, had little choice. When Empress Wu got angry and posted the news, she felt as if her punch had failed, which made her temper even worse. She always made trouble for Wan Zhen'er whenever she had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, Wan Zhen'er had always done a flawless job, and Empress Wu didn't catch anything. Today, she just said she had no rules and rectified her all at once. Wan Zhen'er turned around and walked around the flowers to say goodbye to Queen Wu.Wan Fuli said, "See the Queen." "Well, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now?" Queen Wu said sharply. Wan Zhen'er explained: "I was just passing by here, and I couldn't see the queen where the flowers were blocking my view, so I didn't salute you" "How dare you quibble, give it to me Drag her down and slap her." Empress Wu shouted, stepping forward to hold Wan Zhen'er's arms. Everyone was shocked when they heard the slap. It was so shameful and humiliating that even ordinary palace maids were not slapped. This was a violation of character. Insult, even if the palace maid was beaten, she would usually seek death after being humiliated. As a royal concubine, she was ordered to slap someone by the queen. How could she not surprise everyone, and Wan Zhen'er was also stunned on the spot. A concubine approached the queen and said, "Don't dare to slap us. If the emperor knows about it, we will be severely punished. Sister Wu, you are the queen who cares about the world, so naturally it won't be too serious, but we will suffer, and still "I hope my sister will think twice." "Why, I am the mother of the world and the master of the harem. Do I have to be cautious when marrying a concubine?" Queen Wu said, although she said it beautifully, she was murmuring in her heart. She had just become the queen. Once Wan Zhen'er was beaten, Wan Zhen'er couldn't think about it and sought death. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhu Jianshen to explain it by then, and it will also be difficult to hide it from the public. It is known to the whole world that Wan Zhen'er has always cared for Zhu Jianshen when he grew up. Although the whole world has condemned this unfaithful couple, he is afraid that the tide will turn if he forces her to death. He said that he drove the emperor's benefactor to death, that he was jealous and could not tolerate concubines in the harem, that he could not behave like the mother of the world, etc. The more the rumors became truer, this was not good for his own image. So Queen Wu changed her mind and stopped spanking her face. So Wan Zhen'er was beaten hard for thirty times, but Wan Zhen'er didn't cry or scream. It wasn't because it hurt. Big beads of sweat were all over her face, but there was still a sneer on the corner of her mouth. .
