Outside, the snow was still flying, and the weather was getting colder.

There are lit charcoal braziers all over the palace room, and as long as you don't go out, you hardly feel the cold.

To be honest, anthracite heating is still not as comfortable as charcoal, at least it won't have that smell of coal.

In order to save money and convenience, the people did not hesitate to choose anthracite for heating.

Where does Zhu Youzhen care about that bit of silver, so the palace is still using charcoal.

Kunning Palace

In front of a large brazier sat a beautiful lady with a needle and thread in her hand and was concentrating on embroidery.

This woman is Ruyan (that is, Qinglian, Zhu Youzhen re-named Ruyan)

Ruyan's heart has completely changed now, and she usually either raises flowers or embroiders, or accompanies the princess to do something.

It can be said that she is as calm as water, almost thinking about nothing, fighting for nothing, as long as she can occasionally see the person she cares about day and night.

It stands to reason that Ruyan should hate him, it was he who rudely snatched Ruyan's most precious thing and abolished Ruyan's martial arts.

But as time went on, she found herself completely conquered by his charisma.

The more time passes, the more Ruyan feels that she loves this man deeply.

But she knows very well that although the man doesn't mind the identity she once was, Ruyan herself minds, and she feels that she is not worthy of being his woman.

She just wanted to stay quietly in the palace now, even if it was to arrange a small house for her.

As long as Ruyan can look at the man's back from a distance, this is enough for him.

When four more little beauties came to the palace, the man hadn't been to her for a long time.

Ruyan thinks that the man has forgotten her, but in fact, it is normal to think about it, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the beauties around him are like clouds, how can he still think of her.

Even so, Ruyan didn't blame or resent the man at all in her heart, at least she could occasionally sneak a look at the man.

"Squeak......

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Ruyan was awakened by the start, and hurriedly looked back.

Of course, she froze, her breathing began to rapid, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

After reacting, he hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"See Your Majesty like smoke."

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and helped him up like smoke:

"Hurry up, don't be so polite in the future, why are you alone in the palace, waiting for your palace maid?"

As Zhu Youzhen spoke, he hugged him like smoke into his arms.

At this moment, Ruyan felt like the happiest woman in the world.

Hearing the emperor's question, he lightly opened his lips like smoke:

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine can do anything by herself, and she doesn't need a palace maid to wait."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head in distress:

"It can't be like this, although none of the show girls in my palace have been sealed, but you are at least a concubine, and you don't have to do everything yourself."

Ruyan knew that the emperor was caring about her, but it turned out that the emperor had not forgotten himself.

She raised her eyes to look at the emperor and smiled coquettishly:

"Your Majesty Xie cares, Ruyan knows."

Zhu Youzhen also smiled:

"Prepare me, I'll rest here tonight."

"Really! Great, Your Majesty, wait a minute, the concubine will go and prepare hot water for you to bathe! ”

Ruyan got up and was about to leave, but was pulled by Zhu Youzhen:

"Look at your excitement, you haven't eaten yet! Aren't you hungry? ”

"Oh, yes! The concubine is so excited, your majesty, sit down, and the concubine will go and prepare dinner for you! ”

"It's cold outside, you don't have to go, I'll have them bring dinner."

Zhu Youzhen took out a walkie-talkie as he spoke:

"Erxi, inform the imperial dining room, I will eat in Kunning Palace."

It was the first time Ruyan saw the walkie-talkie, and when she saw the emperor talking to this black thing, she wanted to laugh at the time, and thought that the emperor was making her happy.

When Erxi brought the cook from the imperial dining room to bring the food, Ruyan felt that the emperor's thing was magical.

But she didn't care too much, the emperor had long been like a god in her heart.

After the meal was set, Zhu Youzhen took out a bottle of Great Wall red wine, he didn't like to drink foreign brand red wine.

As soon as I opened the cap of the wine bottle, I took the red wine like a cigarette:

"Your Majesty, let the concubine come."

poured two glasses of red wine, and then sandwiched a piece of beef like smoke and sent it to Zhu Youzhen's mouth.

"Your Majesty, eat some food and drink wine first, it's good for your stomach, please open your mouth!"

Smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, looking at the slight red and delicate smoke on her pretty face, Zhu Youzhen was a little distracted.

"Hahaha, don't feed me like this, let's change the trick!"

"A change of style?"

Ruyanqiao's face was slightly red, and she hesitated slightly, then picked up a piece of beef and bit it into her mouth, and sent most of the exposed beef to Zhu Youzhen's mouth......

……

After the two of them had eaten, Zhu Youzhen asked the eunuch Erxi to call Caidie Qiuju.

Since the two little girls became the emperor's personal palace maids, this is the first time that the emperor has called them to wait.

In the past, the emperor would always let them leave when doing things, which made the two little girls very unhappy.

After going back, the two looked at each other's looks and bodies, and they felt very beautiful, not worse than others! Why doesn't the emperor like them!

In fact, they all misunderstood the emperor, not that the emperor disliked them, but that the emperor was really embarrassed in front of them.

Caidie Qiuju burned a large bucket full of hot water, and Zhu Youzhen and Ruyan entered the water together.

This time, the emperor didn't let them leave, but the two little girls were very happy.

They did their best to wait for the emperor and Ruyan until the emperor fell asleep.

The two little girls looked at each other and smiled, and left briskly, they could finally give an account to the princess.

The next day is the New Year, and today is a holiday and will not go to the court, and Zhu Youzhen rarely sleeps lazily with a cigarette.

It wasn't until lunch time that he changed his clothes and washed under the waiting of Caidie Qiuju and Ruyan.

After lunch, Zhu Youzhen thought of the three scientists in Daming and let the three old men live together, and he didn't know if they were used to living there.

Zhu Youzhen was about to go to see the three of them, and before leaving, he sent a decree to the Ministry of Rites to set off fireworks outside the Fengtian Gate at night for the people to watch.

Setting off fireworks in large quantities can not only increase the joy of the New Year, but also drive away germs in the air.

When Zhu Youzhen came to the mansion of the three old men, he was closed.

The three old men didn't even rest, and they were still busy in the arsenal during the New Year.

The two of them rushed to the arsenal non-stop, and there are now three arsenals in the Jingshi, and the two of them came here to the main factory.

When he came to the arsenal, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little moved.

Not only were the three old men here, but the workers were still working overtime to produce rifled guns and cannons.

Seeing the emperor's sudden arrival, the three old men hurriedly came over and bowed:

"See Your Majesty, why are you here for the New Year?"

Before Zhu Youzhen could speak, a little boy ran over and knelt in front of him:

"Zixuan, see the emperor."

"Hahaha, it's all free to be even, Zixuan, are you tired?"

"Back to the emperor, Zixuan is not tired, it is very fun to follow the grandfathers every day to read the drawings and make guns."

Zhu Youzhen touched Xiao Zixuan's head, and the four of them laughed.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the busy craftsmen and said:

"It's the New Year, you should rest, you don't care about going to work a few days late, give them three days off, and reward each person with five taels of silver for the New Year."

Hearing the bonus, the three old men all thanked the emperor.

"Obey"

"Wechen thank Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of the craftsmen."

While Zhu Youzhen was talking, he suddenly saw a short gun on the tool table where Zhao Shizhen was.

He walked briskly over and picked up the short gun, and looked up and down, left and right, and looked surprised.

"Damn, isn't this a revolver? When did it come out? ”
