Chapter Seventy-Seven: Empress Zhou and Soap
Yanghua March, Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youzhen took the rectangular piece of soap, leaned under his nose and sniffed it.
"Well, yes, that's what it smells like."
Looking at this very industrialized line, accompanied by the faint fragrance of orange peel, Zhu Youzhen was agitated for a while.
A few days ago, when Zhu Youzhen was wandering around the boat, he saw a book left by a tourist on the boat, which recorded the production method of handmade soap and perfume.
Zhu Youzhen saw that the process of handmade soap was not complicated, and then sent it to Bi Maokang.
Bi Maokang is worthy of being the first engineer of the Ming Dynasty, and his hands-on ability is super strong, and it only took ten years to send the soap sample back.
Zhu Youzhen rushed to take the soap and ran to Kunning Palace, eager to see the user experience.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he didn't wait to say anything, and put Zhou Wanyan's hand into the wooden barrel that had been prepared in advance and was filled with lard.
Zhou Wanyan, who was shocked, screamed for a while, and said in her heart, Your Majesty, what's wrong today.
Before she could react, Zhu Youzhen took out the soap as if offering a treasure and motioned for Zhou Wanyan to clean her hands with soap.
Washing her hands with water, Zhou Wanyan soon discovered the magic of this soap.
After a while, Zhou Wanyan's hands were not only smooth and clean, but when they sniffed carefully, there was a faint fragrance of oranges.
"Your Majesty, where is this a tribute artifact, if it is too much, can it be evenly distributed to the concubines in the palace."
For such fragrant things, girls are naturally not resistant.
"Haha, this is not a tribute, this is what I have researched, and I want as much as I want in the future."
Zhu Youzhen said, took out another piece of soap and demonstrated.
"I named it soap, not only to clean hands, but also to take a bath, but also to wash clothes, especially after taking a bath, the whole body is fragrant."
"Your Majesty."
With a coquettish snort, Zhou Wanyan's face quickly flushed when she heard this, but then there was a hint of loss.
Since she moved into the Forbidden City, Zhu Youzhen has not spoiled her once, although Zhou Wanyan didn't say it, but she still had a lot of complaints about Zhu Youzhen in her heart.
And she also wants to give birth to a son to Zhu Youzhen as soon as possible to consolidate the position of the palace.
Zhou Wanyan is dignified by nature, she naturally doesn't take the initiative to speak about this kind of thing, although there are whispers, but fortunately, during this time, Zhu Youzhen did not favor other concubines, and she was a little more down-to-earth in her heart.
In fact, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to enjoy the joy of fish and water, but he was a person from the past, and he knew that starting sex too early and even early pregnancy would be extremely harmful to women, and of course it would also hurt men.
Zhu Youzhen is only 16 years old this year, he doesn't want to squander his life too early, and the medical conditions in this era are extremely bad, and if he wants to live a long life, he can only rely on self-discipline.
Zhou Wanyan naturally didn't know Zhu Youzhen's concerns, remembering what Zhang Yan told her before, and then her eyes rolled, and a shy and ashamed thought formed in her mind.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute, the concubine will help Your Majesty try the cleansing function of this soap."
Zhou Wanyan's face was slightly red, and she said very quietly.
"Wanyan, what did you say you wanted to try?"
Zhu Youzhen didn't hear clearly, so he asked loudly.
When Zhou Wanyan heard this, she was angry and annoyed, thinking that Zhu Youzhen did it on purpose, but she still strengthened her courage and raised her voice.
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to take a bath with this."
After speaking, his head was lowered quickly, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Youzhen again.
"Oh, go ahead, go ahead, pay more attention to the use feeling, I'm waiting for you here."
Zhu Youzhen was immersed in soap, but he didn't hear what Zhou Wanyan meant.
But the sentence of waiting for you made Zhou Wanyan's heart beat wildly, her face was crimson, obviously she was wrong, so she took the maid into the inner hall.
After a while, Zhou Wanyan finished bathing, but since she got into bed, then the palace maids and eunuchs retreated in a funny way, and then closed the door.
Zhu Youzhen thought that Zhou Wanyan was embarrassed to talk about the feeling of taking a bath in front of everyone, so he didn't think much about it and followed her into the inner hall.
stayed in the inner hall, but saw Zhou Wanyan lying on the bed, only one head exposed.
"Why are you lying in bed, get up quickly and let me smell the fragrance."
Zhu Youzhen didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Wanyan's face burned even more, and his head shrank into the quilt embarrassedly.
"Oh, you cover the quilt and look at it, let me see if the washing is clean and the fragrance is insufficient."
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Wanyan directly retracted her head back into the quilt and said coquettishly.
"Oh, shame on me, Your Majesty will come to the bed and watch it yourself."
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he didn't think much about it, thinking that Zhou Wanyan was playing with him, so he stepped forward to the side of the bed, and reached out to lift a corner of Zhou Wanyan's quilt.
A piece of undulating, smooth white and tender comes into view.
Zhu Youzhen's blood was gushing immediately, and he stood on the spot with his mouth open, and after a while, he understood what Zhou Wanyan meant.
Rao is Zhu Youzhen and has seen a lot of such bodies, but to be honest, Zhou Wanyan can be favored by Zhang Yan at a glance and directly elected as the princess, there is still a reason for her.
"That, that, uh-huh, I've seen it, and it works very well, but I don't know how it feels, wait for me to get started."
The curtain is lightly placed, and the room is full of charm.
Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen gently touched Zhou Manru's softness, and smiled maliciously.
"Well, this soap works well, you see how good it feels, but I'm going to try again."
An exclamation filled the room with fragrance.
-------
After returning to the DPRK, Zhu Youzhen gradually established his authority, and the new cabinet gradually got on the right track after running in.
Zhu Youzhen really spent less time in the court, and Zhu Youzhen had more energy to pay attention to Xishan.
"Last time, I told you the essentials of looking at the map, and the mantra in it, who can repeat it to me."
The martial arts students below raised their hands one after another.
Of course, raising your hand to report before answering a question is also a rule set by Zhu Youzhen.
"Li Tengjiao, come here."
"Report to the Generalissimo, go up the north and down the south, left west and right east, the distance should be converted with a scale, if you don't know the direction, you should use a compass."
"Very well, sit."
"Then I ask again, how to make a compass in the wild? Huang Zongxi, come. ”
"Report to the Generalissimo, take water and put it in an urn, put a leaf on it, take a needle and rub it on the armor, and then place it on the leaf, and the two ends of the needle are north and south."
"Very good, you have worked very hard, I am very pleased, then I will learn the contour and depth contour lines again today, and I will repeat the mantra first."
"The steep slope is dense, the gentle slope is sparse, and between the two mountains is the saddle; Lower bend ridges, upper bend valleys, and cliffs are at the intersection. ”
Then, there was a loud sound in the classroom.
After more than 100 martial arts students selected from all over the country were enrolled, Zhu Youzhen basically came to Xishan every five days to teach the students in person.
In his spare time, Zhu Youzhen also compiled a lot of teaching materials based on his own memory for the students to study.
When they first arrived in Xishan, they were very dissatisfied with the new army style of sleeping in collective dormitories and having to take care of themselves.
Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word after hearing this, and went into the barracks alone, eating, living and training with the students, and even had many requirements that were better than what the students did.
Since then, no student has dared to complain, and all of them have scrupulously implemented the regulations of the New Army.
To this day, every time Zhu Youzhen comes to Xishan, he will eat and live with the students.
