Li Shanchang was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would be moved by Ma Xiuying's words, so he hurriedly pretended to inadvertently reveal Liu Ji's private meeting with Ma Xiuying in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about it, he knew that Ma Xiuying was good friends with Liu Ji, and Xu Da, Tang He and others had also come to the door to ask to see Ma Xiuying, and the meeting was in front of the public, and there was no cover-up, and no one could say anything.

Li Shanchang said very worriedly: "The prince will not be the emperor soon, how can the foreign ministers have frequent contacts with the harem concubines? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy when he heard this, and returned to the palace with a gloomy face.

Ma Xiuying was still pondering, not knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang had returned to the house, and when he walked into the room, he was shocked and hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unhappy, and asked coldly: "What are you thinking, I don't even know if I'm back." ”

Ma Xiuying heard the displeasure in his tone, and knew that he couldn't say something that he didn't like right away, so he said tactfully: "I went to the garden just now, and saw the flowers in the courtyard withering and the leaves all over the ground, I couldn't help but think that winter was coming, and I don't know how those poor people will spend this winter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also grew up in a poor family, knowing that many poor people would freeze to death every winter, he couldn't help but feel pity and sighed: "The life of the people is really hard, I miss my father and mother back then, ......

Ma Xiuying interrupted him, "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't let the prince remember the past, now that the prince is going to be the emperor, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will also feel relieved." And I believe that in the future, under the leadership of the prince, the lives of the common people will only get better and better. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a smile on his face.

Ma Xiuying continued to compliment: "More than ten years have passed, and it is really a white horse." When I married you, I never dreamed that you would be where you are today, and this must be a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became brighter and brighter.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Ma Xiuying's words changed, "I heard that the courtiers have repeatedly begged you to ascend the throne, why do you still refuse to ascend the throne, the lord of the world belongs to you, so don't refuse." I also hope that you will ascend the throne as soon as possible and issue a decree to improve the lives of the people as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, "But what did Liu Ji say in front of you, now that you are a harem concubine, how can you have close contact with foreign ministers?"

Ma Xiuying frowned slightly, someone must have provoked the relationship between her and Liu Ji in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy when he returned home. She simply admitted generously: "Mr. Liu did come to see me today, since the prince thinks it is inappropriate to do so, I will no longer meet with foreign ministers in private in the future." This time I was wrong, please forgive me. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone, "Your identity is different from the past, and you can no longer act casually like before, so as not to be criticized." ”

"Yes, Xiuying has been taught. Ma Xiuying lowered her eyes, her expression slightly gloomy. Since they got married, the two have respected each other like guests, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely accuses her, and now with the change of status and power, his attitude towards her has also changed unconsciously, and the words and deeds that accuse and restrain her seem to have become commonplace, which makes her feel more and more depressed.

However, Ma Xiuying is an indomitable woman, since the side knock does not work, she simply goes straight to the point, "Although it is inappropriate for me to see Mr. Liu in private, but Mr. Liu's words I think are reasonable, please listen to me before making a decision." ”

"Say! I want to listen to what Liu Ji has to say!" Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unhappy in his heart, Liu Ji really couldn't convince himself to come to Ma Xiuying for help, what is this, is he not as assertive as Ma Xiuying?

Since Zhu Yuanzhang is angry and uses "lonely", Ma Xiuying is also angry and calls herself a "concubine", "The prince is not annoyed, the concubine and the woman should not be involved in political affairs, but the concubine and the prince want the people of the world to be peaceful." As soon as there is no owner in the world, the people will be panicked every day, and only when the prince ascends the throne as soon as possible, can the people's hearts be steady. If these manpower and financial resources can be used on the people, I believe that many people will be able to survive this winter. What's more, the Yuan people have been gathering troops outside the fortress in a vain attempt to regain the power of the Yuan court, if the prince does not become emperor as soon as possible, they will still have thoughts. There are other leaders of the rebel army who have established themselves as kings, if they preempt the prince and become emperors, the world will fall apart again, and wars will break out, and the people will suffer. All kinds of powerful things can't help the prince to make a decision early, so please think twice about the consequences of becoming the emperor. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally careless, was already sweating profusely at the moment, and said suddenly: "I actually ignored so much power, thanks to Mr. Liu and your reminder." After speaking, he immediately sent an order, appointing Liu Ji as the Imperial Historian and Taishi Ling, responsible for drafting the proclamation, choosing an auspicious day, and ascending the throne in Yingtianfu as soon as possible.

Ma Xiuying still had resentment in her heart, and said coldly: "The concubine is a little tired, I'm afraid that I can't serve the prince well, so the prince please take care of yourself." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged her with a salivating face, "What kind of concubine is a mess, I still have such a life with you." If I hadn't had your help, I wouldn't have achieved what I am today. ”

Ma Xiuying glanced at him and looked away angrily, "The prince's virtuous and internal help is too much, what is the concubine's body." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang turned her head over, looked at her and laughed: "Huh, the little parrot is actually jealous? Could it be that I snubbed you? I will compensate you ......?"

"The concubine is also a woman, so she can't be jealous?" Anyway, I suffered a lot of grievances today, and when Zhu Yuanzhang made amends and curried favor, Ma Xiuying simply left her dignified appearance, coquettishly behaved, and tried her best to avoid his closeness, which can be regarded as a jealousy that has been suppressed for many years.

Zhu Yuanzhang tied her up, didn't let her struggle, and said affectionately: "Don't worry, the parrot starlings are a couple, and other women are not as good as you in my heart." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who easily doesn't say sweet words, can always kill Ma Xiuying when he talks about love. Even though her heart was as cold as steel, she was turned into a soft finger, and her tone unconsciously became coquettish, "You, you will say good and obedient words to make me happy." I'm not the kind of stingy woman, as long as they love you sincerely, I will treat them with all sincerity. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion, "Without your virtuous help, how could my backyard be peaceful and harmonious, I have worked hard for you all these years." ”

"I'm not hard, starlings are hard, not only to worry about our small family but also about the people of the world. Starling will inevitably be a generation of famous monarchs in history in the future. ”

"Hehe, not only will I be a famous gentleman in history, but you will also be a virtuous queen in history. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled so hesitantly that he dragged Ma Xiuying to the bed.

"What do you do, ...... in broad daylight"

"I'm so happy ...... heart"

Xun Ying, who had been waiting at the door, blushed, snorted lightly, and quietly walked into the courtyard before stopping.
