Chapter 402: The Leopard Room

"Your Majesty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Qian Ning said with a smile: "The minister has prepared a few big dishes for Your Majesty, I don't know which one Your Majesty wants to taste first?" ”

Emperor Zhengde was itchy when he heard this, and waved his hand impatiently: "I want to taste it together." ”

When Qian Ning heard this, he was overjoyed.

He had a very good grasp of the emperor's intentions. It is said that the prestige of the monarch is unpredictable, but in his Qian Ning's opinion, this is the simplest thing in the world.

"Your Majesty, these women don't understand the rules, if they collide with the Holy Driver......"

Zhengde interrupted: "If you don't get in the way, call them in." ”

Qian Ning immediately saluted Zhengde, turned around and clapped his hands.

Then a palace man led three women in their twenties in.

These women were dressed in cloth clothes, their hair was pulled up, and they all looked timidly towards Zhengde.

In terms of appearance, they are naturally inferior to the concubines of Zhengde, and even many palace maids.

But Emperor Zhengde was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and naturally had some expectations for farm dishes.

These women don't wear powder, but they are not wearing makeup, but they make Zhengde very interested.

He walked up to a woman, held her chin with his fingers, and said, "Raise your head and let me see." ”

The woman only felt dizzy, but she suppressed the fear in her heart and raised her head to meet Zhengde.

The four eyes met, and a strange feeling flashed between the electric lights and flints.

Zhengde swallowed and spat, "What's your name?" Where to stay? ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and Qian Ning immediately said, "Your Majesty is asking you." ”

"The slave's name is Liu Ying'er, and she is from Wanping County. Since his death three years ago, he has been observing the festival ever since. ”

Widow? Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard this. This is exactly his favorite genre.

"Three years of observance? Wouldn't it be too empty? ”

The corners of Zhengde's mouth were slightly hooked, and he seemed to be smiling.

Faced with the Son of Heaven laughing like this, Liu Ying'er's cheeks turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "No, ......"

"You two go down."

Zhengde waved his hand, and Qian Ning immediately stepped forward and took the rest of the two girls out.

Of course, he won't come back, and as a favored retainer who always accompanies the Holy Driver, he knows what Zhengde is going to do next.

There are only two people in the huge palace now, and it seems a little quiet.

"Come over and tell me to take a good look."

Although Zhengde's voice is not high, it exudes the majesty of a superior person, which makes it impossible to refuse.

Liu Ying'er hesitated for a moment and took half a step forward, but Zhengde immediately wrapped his arms around her.

"Caring people, let's live in this leopard house from now on, and if you need anything, just tell me. If you follow me, I will not treat you badly. ”

Liu Ying'er panicked, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to close her eyes.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Zhengde sensed Liu Ying'er's emotions and couldn't help frowning.

He let go of Liu Ying'er and said with an unhappy face: "Do you think I am a clever robber?" ”

"Slaves don't dare!"

Liu Ying'er lowered her head, bit her lip and was silent.

Zhengde doesn't like to do forced things. Although Qian Ning captured many women for him, Zhengde did not force them. Only if they themselves are willing to be virtuous will they be asked to sleep.

Of course, according to the rules of the palace, these women have entered the leopard room, even if they have not really served the Son of Heaven, they are still the women of the Son of Heaven. Even if he is released, he must no longer be on good terms with his original husband, and those who are not married will not be allowed to marry for life.

"Don't dare?"

Zhengde was angry in his heart, he glared at Liu Ying'er and said, "Don't tell me that you don't dare." The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee used this sentence to block my mouth, and you also used this sentence as a shield? You don't dare to say that you are snickering in your heart, right? ”

Although Zhengde is the son of heaven and rich all over the world, he is actually ruled by the courtiers, and he is just a puppet in many things.

He acted as nothing more than a symbol, reciting a few words of "I know" and "quasi-playing" at a ritualistic court.

Emperor? Who really thinks of him as an emperor?

After a long time, Zhengde also saw through it, and simply stopped going to court. Qian Ning suggested that he build a leopard house to escape the cramped and oppressive Forbidden City.

That's exactly what he wants. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry spent 240,000 taels of silver to build a leopard house.

Zhengde can't afford to provoke those courtiers who are foaming at the mouth and splashing stars and have double standards, but he can afford to hide!

In this leopard room, he could feel a moment of peace. No more sitting upright, no more behaving like a clay statue.

Here, Zhengde feels like a person of flesh and blood.

But just when Zhengde was enjoying the rare pleasure of ordinary people, Liu Yinger's words brought him back to reality.

He is the Son of Heaven, the most noble and lonely person in the world. Although he escaped from the Forbidden City, he could not escape the shackles of etiquette.

As the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he had to endure this bondage.

"Your Majesty, the slave is just a little panicked."

Liu Ying'er knelt on the ground and said in a low voice.

Zhengde was silent for a moment, pulled Liu Ying'er up and said, "That's it, I don't blame you for this matter." ”

After a pause, Zhengde continued: "Come and have two drinks with me." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the bed and poured two glasses of wine from Hami.

The Son of Heaven personally poured wine for Liu Ying'er, which flattered her.

Liu Ying'er didn't know what to say, so she didn't go to pick up the wine glass.

Zhengde coughed, and Liu Ying'er reacted and took the wine glass.

"I think you're funny."

Zhengde drank the wine and said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Liu Ying'er said in a low voice.

"It's cold at night, put on this dress. Qian Ning is really, he sent someone to me like this, and he didn't know how to add a piece of clothing. ”

Zhengde draped his dragon robe on Liu Ying'er's body, making her tremble in fright.

"I told you to put on it, it's okay."

He took Liu Ying'er's hand and came to the side of the dragon bed, and smiled: "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Liu Ying'er shook her head.

"I think so, but I can teach you."

Zhengde took off his boots and sat on the bed, nodded to the chessboard on the low table, and said: "This is the chessboard, the players each hold the black and white chess in order, and whoever eats more will win." ”

Liu Ying'er said curiously: "How does it sound like a march war?" ”

Zhengde only thought it was funny, and smiled: "Yes, it's the same as marching and fighting." Before settling down, we should take into account the situation of the next five or ten steps, and we must not only look at the present. ”

Zhengde's chess skills are not exquisite, but it is enough to teach Liu Ying'er.

"Here, you choose a color."

Liu Ying'er hesitated for a moment and twisted a sunspot.

Zhengde took her hand and put the sunspot in the northeast corner.

"Golden horn and silver edged grass belly, everyone who plays chess knows this truth."

Zhengde said with a smile: "You remember, the four corners of this chessboard are the battleground, and if anyone occupies the triangle, it is almost a sure game." ”
