On April 30, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Huaxi, the general soldier of Xuzhou, led 40,000 Xuzhou troops north into Shandong, preparing to relieve the siege of Jinan. On the same day, Li Zicheng's 200,000 elite Dashun troops arrived at the periphery of Shanhaiguan and prepared to begin attacking Yucheng, one of the two walled cities on the periphery of Shanhaiguan.

Unlike the urgent situation in the north, the whole of Jiangnan is in a state of tranquility.

In the Imperial Palace of Nanjing City, Zhu Cihong is reviewing the recital.

"Your Majesty, a happy event, a great happy event." Zhao De walked in with a full smile.

"What's the joy?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Back to the emperor, it was Miss Dieyi who came to Nanjing from Huai'an, and she was about to enter the palace." Zhao Dequan said with a smile, he knew very well the status of the girl in the emperor's heart, the emperor was looking forward to the girl coming to Nanjing day and night.

"Really!" Zhu Cihong was overjoyed, threw down the half-annotated piece in his hand and ran out of the imperial study, he couldn't wait to see Yiyi.

Zhu Cihong has been in this world for two months, although he has become an emperor and recognized a mother-in-law, but his heart has always been at a loss, and he is still a little dazed, he always feels that the world is not very real, only lying in Yiyi Wenxiang's arms, or holding Yiyi's soft body tightly, let him have some real feelings about the world, especially in the last assassination, Yiyi desperately used his body to block the fatal knife, Yiyi was completely into his heart, and he felt very empty without Yiyi around him.

The loneliness of being an orphan in his previous life made him need a warm harbor, and he needed Yiyi, a gentle but resolute beautiful woman to fill his empty heart, so that he could feel the truth of the world, and the satisfaction that Yiyi brought him was that the Empress Dowager Zhou, a mother, could not give him, and he thanked God for giving him a confidante like Yiyi.

"Your Majesty, slow down." Zhao Dequan was shocked and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Cihong's excitement was completely beyond Zhao Dequan's expectations, it seemed that the status of that Dieyi girl in the emperor's heart was deeper than he imagined, and he decided that he must not offend Dieyi girl in the future.

"Sister Lanxiang, the emperor seems to like Miss Dieyi very much." The two little palace maids watched Zhu Cihong run out excitedly, and Haitang said with some envy.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's not what we should discuss, the emperor is already good to the two of us, have you ever seen a palace maid who can accompany the emperor to eat together from time to time like the two of us, the emperor is the emperor of the world, and only a beautiful person like Miss Dieyi is worthy." Lan Xiang said.

"Oh, too." Begonia blinked and nodded.

The two little girls are only fourteen years old, although they live in the palace known as the darkest dye vat in the world, but due to Zhu Cihong's intentional indulgence, and there are not so many masters in the palace who can press on their heads for the time being, so the two of them have not been polluted by the dark and cruelty of the palace, and they can still maintain two simple and true hearts.

After being informed, the guards guarding the palace gate received a release order from the eunuchs sent by Zhao Dequan, and entered the palace unimpeded by the carriage of two hundred butterflies.

"The emperor has arrived!" The group suddenly walked out from the corner, and in front of the two hundred Yuan Donggong Imperial Forest Army, it was Zhu Cihong and Zhao Dequan and a group of eunuchs who couldn't wait.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The two hundred East Palace Imperial Forest Army naturally recognized Zhu Cihong and hurriedly paid their respects.

Finally, under Zhu Cihong's expectation, two girls walked down from the carriage, it was Dieyi and Huang Ying, who took care of Dieyi.

"Huang Ying sees the emperor" Huang Ying helped Dieyi out of the carriage and immediately bowed to Zhu Cihong Yingying, but Zhu Cihong only had Yiyi in his eyes at the moment, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to others.

"Yiyi!" Zhu Cihong stepped forward, excitedly hugged Yiyi into his arms, smelling the familiar fragrance of the jade man, Zhu Cihong's heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction at this moment.

"Yiyi, you're finally here, you're finally here to accompany me, I miss you so much." Zhu Cihong didn't act like an emperor at all, but like a lover waiting for the girl's return.

As soon as Dieyi got out of the carriage, she was tightly hugged into her arms, because Zhu Cihong used too much force, which affected the injury on her back, which made her eyebrows tremble suddenly, revealing the color of enduring pain, but her heart was warm, and she quickly suppressed the pain, and leaned her cheek on Zhu Cihong's chest tenderly and sweetly.

As a woman with a lot of fate, she was content to meet such a man who was so affectionate to her, and this man was still the most noble emperor in the world.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" came the voice of Huang Ying next to him.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Cihong turned his head to look over, only to see Huang Ying's face showing anxiety, and then frowned and asked.

"The injuries on Miss Dieyi's body have not completely healed, and if you hold it so tightly, it will affect the injuries on Miss Dieyi's body." Huang Ying reminded.

Zhu Cihong was frightened, quickly let go of his hand, lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw the slightest paleness on Die Yiqiao's face, and immediately regretted it in his heart, and he wanted to slap himself.

"Yiyi, you're okay, let me see if the wound has cracked." Zhu Cihong said, and as soon as he moved, he heard Dieyi's coquettish voice.

"The emperor doesn't want it, someone is watching." After Dieyi finished speaking, her face was flushed, and she was shy, and she couldn't wait to bury her head tightly in Zhu Cihong's arms and not come out, like a little woman snuggled in her husband's arms.

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll look at it when I go back to the palace, and I'll see it when I go back to the palace." Zhu Cihong reacted, glanced at the large group of people around him, laughed, and walked to the palace where he lived with Dieyi in his arms.

Dieyi's beautiful cheeks seemed to be burned by fire, red, the original white was gone, and the pain in the wound was also because of shyness and heat, and it felt a little itchy, not painful at all, it seemed that the wound had healed a little more at this moment.

Along the way, many palace maids have seen the emperor with a tender expression and a beautiful and flawless woman into the Qianqing Palace, it is not difficult to see that the emperor loves this woman very much, so that some palace maids who have extravagant hopes and want to climb the dragon bed all the time are going to be broken, although they used to have confidence in their appearance, but at this moment seeing such a beautiful woman Dieyi was also hit and lost confidence, the emperor has such a beautiful woman to accompany him, when can he take a look at them.

After Zhu Cihong hugged Yiyi and entered the Qianqing Palace, the two were tired of being together for a long time, Zhu Cihong saw that Yiyi was tired on her face, and thought that Yiyi's injury had not completely healed, so she let Yiyi go and let her rest first, and she had to go to the imperial study to deal with the unfinished music.

"Zhao Dequan, you find a time to take someone to clean up the Kunning Palace behind the Qianqing Palace." Zhu Cihong commanded.

Zhao Dequan was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, that's where the future queen will live, you"

"What nonsense, let you go, you will go, I will tell you clearly, Yiyi will be my queen in the future, if you dare to slack off, I will definitely peel your skin." Zhu Cihong glanced at Zhao Dequan and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and maid must clean up the Kunning Palace as soon as possible." Zhao Dequan wiped the sweat on his head, the emperor is really getting more and more majestic, and now a casual glance can make his heart tremble.

Zhu Cihong has already decided that his future queen must be Yiyi, must be Yiyi, and only a gentle and resolute woman like Yiyi is worthy of being his queen.

After Zhao Dequan calmed down his frightened heart, he suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, there is a strong man Zhou Cao who escorted Miss Dieyi into the palace with the Imperial Forest Army of the East Palace, and he has been waiting for the emperor for a long time, does the emperor want to see him?" Zhao Dequan said.
