Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 163 Today's Light Rain
After Sun Zhiqi left, Zhu Youzhen, who had been busy all day, felt that his brain seemed to be unable to turn, and after watching the fonts of the documents in his hands jumping, he finally decided to put down the documents and go out for a walk to let his mind rest.
When he walked out of the door, he realized that it was raining lightly outside, and the back garden could not be accessed. He looked at the rain line falling from the eaves, and only then did he remember that he seemed to have not been to see Cui Yuzhi for a long time, and he didn't know if this girl was used to life in the palace.
After staring at the rain line in the air for a long time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but turn his head and said to the two eunuchs behind him: "Wang Chengen sent the approved documents to the cabinet for me, and Lu Qi accompanied me to Yonghe Palace to see Concubine Xuan..."
Cui Yuzhi stood under the eaves of Tongshunzhai, used her hands to catch the rain falling from the eaves, watched the rain gather in her hands, and then sneaked away from the gap between her hands, feeling as if she had found something interesting, so she stood there and played stupidly.
Yunduo, the personal maid who followed her into the palace, looked at Cui Yuzhi's rain-soaked sleeves, and couldn't help but persuade with some worry: "Your Highness, the autumn rain is cold, you better stop playing, if you catch a cold, you should take medicine." Let's go back to the house and play chess, shall we? ”
Cui Yuzhi didn't pay attention to the persuasion of the clouds, but leaned outward, deliberately letting the rain splash more on her body.
didn't dare to pull her clouds, and suddenly said urgently: "Your Highness, stand back, otherwise your whole body will be wet." ”
Cui Yuzhi replied angrily: "If it's wet, it's wet, is there anyone here who can't care about me?" There is no interest in this palace at all, it is not as good as Jizhou's hometown. ”
Yun Duo's face suddenly turned a little pale, she looked left and right, and then carefully said to Cui Yuzhi: "Miss don't dare to talk nonsense, if someone listens to it, it will not be good for it to reach His Majesty's ears." ”
Cui Yuzhi's depression in her heart seemed to be ignited suddenly, she turned around suddenly, looked at the clouds and said loudly: "I just said it, there is no meaning in this palace, I can only stay in this courtyard every day, and I have to go out with the consent of the steward, what is the difference between this and being grounded by my mother."
It's good that it reaches His Majesty's ears, otherwise he probably won't remember what I look like. What's wrong with wet clothes, I just like it, I'm happy, anyway, even if my whole body is wet with rain, no one cares about me. ”
"Miss." Seeing Cui Yuzhi suddenly retreat from the eaves, Yun Duo was frightened and cried out.
Cui Yuzhi looked up at the sky, and the rain quickly blinded her vision and pressed back the tears she was about to fall. At this moment, she missed the boudoir where she had lived for more than ten years and her mother.
Cui Yuzhi felt a little sad from her heart, and when she wanted to take advantage of the rain to cry for a while, she suddenly found that the rain suddenly stopped. I could hear the sound of the rain falling on the ground, but I didn't feel the feeling of the raindrops falling on my body, which made Cui Yuzhi very strange.
She struggled to open her eyes, looked up, and saw an umbrella over her head. Before she could react, the frightened cloud finally shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the little maid Cloud welcomes Your Majesty." ”
Cui Yuzhi turned around and realized that it was Chongzhen who was holding the umbrella for her. Cui Yuzhi suddenly forgot the grievance just now, and asked Chongzhen with a straight face a little timidly, "Your Majesty, when did you come?" ”
Seeing that most of Cui Yuzhi's clothes were wet, Zhu Youzhen shook his head and hugged her and walked towards Tongshun Zhai, and when he passed by the clouds who bowed his head to him, he instructed her: "Go and get hot water and towels, and find clean clothes to come over and change them for Concubine Xuan." ”
After being held in Chongzhen's arms, Cui Yuzhi's crazy energy just now disappeared, and she was obediently brought into the room by Chongzhen.
Tongshunzhai is located in the backyard of Yonghe Palace, which was originally used for reading and embroidering for the master of Yonghe Palace. However, there is also a brocade couch in the room on one side, which is for Cui Yuzhi to take a nap during her lunch break.
Zhu Youzhen untied most of Cui Yuzhi's wet coat, took a dry towel from Yun Duo, and carefully dried her hair. At this time, I saw Cui Yuzhi in his arms with a crimson face, his eyes closed, and his lips pursed slightly. The face is charming.
Originally, he had no distractions, but he was just worried that Cui Yuzhi would catch a cold, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little delicate. He couldn't help but move his gaze down, only Cui Yuzhi, who was wearing obscene clothes, revealing two white arms, revealing a bit of a green girl's taste.
"Sin, sin." Finding that there was a trace of ** Chongzhen in his heart, he immediately looked away. He calmly said to the clouds who brought in the hot water: "Wipe your highness's body for your highness, and then change your clothes, and I will go to the study next door to sit down." ”
After Zhu Youzhen and Yun Duo handed over Cui Yuzhi in their arms, they walked out quickly, ignoring how Cui Yuzhi would react behind him. When he arrived at the study next door, he drank several cups of tea in a row before his mouth finally became less dry.
The reason why he didn't touch Cui Yuzhi and suppressed his ** was not that Zhu Youzhen had any moral cleanliness, but that he didn't dare to indulge his **. In such an era, in such a position, his ** is the best weakness in the eyes of others.
Whether it is inside or outside the palace, there are always many intelligent people, who may not know anything about the situation in this world, but it does not hinder their understanding of human nature.
Gradually amplify a person's **, weaken his willpower, and create a weakness that can be exploited, for some people, it is a skill like eating and drinking.
The longer he stayed in the position of emperor, the more Zhu Youzhen realized that he was more like a saint. Because if he can't control his ** like a saint, he will lose himself in the endless **.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, basically what kind of personal enjoyment he wants, the people around him will always achieve it for him. Under unrestricted power, people who can't control themselves will always be dominated by ** and can't help but do some evil things.
is the Ming monarch in history, not the smartest emperors, but the emperors who are good at controlling themselves. Similarly, those famous faint kings, not because they are too stupid, but because they are too indulgent in their own **.
When Zhu Youzhen drank a pot of tea without any taste, Cui Yuzhi finally dressed up and walked into the study.
Whether it was Zhu Youzhen or Cui Yuzhi, they all had a tacit understanding and did not mention what had just happened. Zhu Youzhen sat down and chatted with Cui Yuzhi for a while, and suddenly said to her: "If you feel bored staying in the palace, why don't you go to the new middle school in Xiyuan to study." ”
Cui Yuzhi paused for a moment, then tilted her head and asked uncertainly, "Reading?" Concubinage. Isn't it true that the rules in the palace can't leave the palace at will? Aren't there any foreign boys in that middle school? ”
Zhu Youzhen winked at her and said, "Aren't the rules in the palace up to me?" It doesn't matter if there are foreign boys in middle school, the important thing is that I believe in you. In this way, that middle school is also open to some palace maids in the palace, I asked Lu Qi to give you a new identity, and you will not be so irritated when you go to school with Yunduo in the future..."
Although Cui Yuzhi's face was still a little hot, she began to look forward to going out of the palace to study. Although Xiyuan is also in the imperial city, compared to the harem, there are many fewer high walls, which makes her feel that her world has suddenly become larger.
Ye Xiaoluan, who was wearing a simple household dress, held a pair of huge monoculars, stood in front of the window and looked at the dark night sky outside, and couldn't help but say with some annoyance: "It's really annoying to death on a rainy day, and I can't even see the stars." ”
Shen Yixiu and Ye Shaoyuan looked at their daughter who was such a child, but they looked at each other and smiled, feeling greatly relieved. Since taking Xiaoluan home, they have found that this daughter's temperament follows her deceased adoptive mother, and she writes sad words and phrases all day long at a young age, which makes both of them very worried.
Ye Shaoyuan accepted the emperor's edict and brought his family to Beijing, but he did not let this daughter change the environment, dilute her feelings of missing her adoptive mother, so as not to hurt her body.
Now it seems that the environment in Beijing is indeed suitable for Xiaoluan, especially the popular new school in Beijing, which makes Xiaoluan fully devote himself to it. Under the care of the emperor, she gradually developed a strong interest in astronomy, and her temperament began to slowly return to normal.
The change of the third daughter Xiaoluan certainly made Ye Shaoyuan and his wife happy, but when they turned their eyes to the second daughter Ye Xiaoluan, who leaned over to paint in the hall, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The slim Ye Xiaojun is almost 18 years old, although her appearance is not as good as her sister Xiaoluan, but she is also a gentle and lovely lady. Moreover, Xiao Yan's talent in literary music is inferior to Ye Shaoyuan himself.
However, such a well-behaved and lovely daughter has been unable to get married for a long time, which makes Ye Shaoyuan and his wife a little worried.
Shen Yixiu couldn't help but pull her husband aside, and whispered to Ye Shaoyuan very dissatisfied: "Xiao Su will be 18 years old in a blink of an eye, and if she delays it any longer, won't she really want to stay at home and be an old girl." What are you going to do? ”
Ye Shaoyuan muttered speechlessly, and it took a long time before he blushed and said: "The marriage between Xiao Su and Xiao Luan, the seniors and several elders in the clan have a lot of explanations, it's not that I don't want to marry them out." ”
Shen Yixiu thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and said: "But Your Majesty has not made any moves to choose a show girl to enter the palace now, Xiao Luan can still wait, but how can Xiao Lu wait." Those old bastards want to slap in touch with His Majesty, but they take other people's daughters as a fight, which is really not true.
Anyway, I don't care, if there is no movement before March next year, I will marry Xiao Su no matter what. If it weren't for these bastards to obstruct him, Xiao Su would have married Yongzhen last year. ”
Ye Shaoyuan hurriedly whispered and comforted: "It's up to you, it's up to you, but be quiet, let your daughter hear it, and make them feel troubled..."
