Chapter 191: Do You Like Me?
Chen Yuanyuan bit his thin lip tightly, blinked a pool of autumn waves, lowered his head, and nodded fiercely.
But Chen Yuanyuan was even more panicked and excited in her heart, as a person who was ignored by this society, she had never had the consciousness of who she wanted to like, and it was even more unlikely that she would admit who she liked.
And at this moment, when Zhu Youzhen asked this question and asked her to face her emotions, she seemed to have recovered herself again, and it seemed that Zhu Youzhen gave her the qualification to like a person, which made her feel a little happy.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but secretly think that it was this feeling to like someone, as if at this moment, Zhu Youzhen's figure could not only bring her a trace of stability, but also bring her a trace of pleasure.
The restrictions of etiquette made Chen Yuanyuan dare not look at Zhu Youzhen directly, but as long as he took a sneak look, Chen Yuanyuan seemed to be able to get great satisfaction, which made her even happier than rewarding her with pearl jade.
Zhu Youzhen's appearance is naturally not outstanding, but in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, it has become a beauty that cannot be seen enough.
Zhu Youzhen doesn't have so many complicated inner emotions, he is not as good as Chen Yuanyuan imagined, and he, like all men, loves Chen Yuanyuan more to stay attracted by her beauty, of course, he is also used to Chen Yuanyuan's past companionship, but in the absence of competitors and can occupy a woman's heart at any time, he does not realize that he will be emotionally implicated in Chen Yuanyuan.
If there is, he will not naturally ask Chen Yuanyuan if he likes himself, this is undoubtedly from the emperor's confidence and indifference.
However, seeing Chen Yuanyuan's shy and nervous look, Zhu Youzhen also felt that she was a little more beautiful than before, especially the bright eyes were more beautiful than ever, as if they could hook people's souls.
In addition, Zhu Youzhen is now sick, and if he is weak, his heart will inevitably be hot, and if his heart is hot, he will inevitably be yang, but Zhu Youzhen also knows that if he indulges himself because of this, he will inevitably lose his body, and when he thinks of the great cause that has not been accomplished, he has to take a long breath: "Okay, when the world is safe, I want your body again, you go down first, standing here will only make me upset!" ”
Chen Yuanyuan retreated uneasily, and couldn't help but think of the words that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen said that he would ask for her body, this kind of words must have been a little difficult to hear in the past, shy and even annoying, but at this moment, Chen Yuanyuan had some expectations, and suddenly, she felt that this was the best promise, which could allow her to experience the warmth from His Majesty.
When the war was imminent, for Zhu Youzhen, who was at the top of the empire, what he needed most was to be alone, so that he could keep his thinking in the clearest state.
The palace wall outside the window and the verdant Zhongshan in the distance obstructed Zhu Youzhen's vision, which made him feel insecure, unable to know what was going on in the outside world, whether Huguang's Azig had launched an attack, and whether Henan's Duoduo had broken through the Tiger Pass?
In this era when there is no radio, even if it is 800 miles urgent, there is always a delay in knowing the latest battle report, which makes it difficult for Zhu Youzhen, a trader, to know the situation on the front line anytime and anywhere, which is also the reason why he delegated power to let the governors of the provinces do it himself, and he could not efficiently coordinate the overall situation.
But Zhu Youzhen didn't want to lock himself up in the palace walls like this, he didn't want to wait for the Qing army to arrive at the city of Nanjing, he clearly knew that he had indeed failed, and he also wanted to see what the legendary money rat tail looked like, how much stronger it was compared to the Han people, how fierce and fearless it was to death, how cruel and rude.
Zhu Youzhen, who felt a little congested and sleepy at the corners of his eyes, couldn't help but close his eyes again, as the so-called illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, in this era without antibiotics, even if it is a common wind and cold, he can only rest in bed to recuperate, but when he thinks of the war ahead, Zhu Youzhen still made a decree to leave for Henan tomorrow.
Huguang has Li Yan and Plug Yinxi, and even if Huguang is lost, there is Jiangxi.
But if Henan is not guaranteed, the Qing army can go straight to the central capital Fengyang or Shandong boundary, and now the garrison of Henan is the former military department right attendant Lang Lu Daqi, who is considered an old minister with troops, and can be regarded as a more virtuous minister, which is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen dared to let him be the governor and chief military officer of Henan even though he knew that he was the Donglin Party.
However, there were no strong soldiers and fierce generals stationed in Henan, only the township soldiers recruited by Lu Daqi in Henan and some of the officers and troops who belonged to the Ming Dynasty, plus Henan, as a place for four wars, had no economic foundation to support, so Zhu Youzhen also knew that Henan would be lost sooner or later. Of course, even if you want to lose it, you have to lose it slowly, and it is best to let Duoduo suffer a certain loss when the army enters Henan.
The civil and military officials and the harem concubines did not want Zhu Youzhen to go to Henan with illness at such a time, in their opinion, this is unnecessary and very dangerous, after all, no one knows when Henan will fall into the hands of Zhu Youzhen.
But now Zhu Youzhen is not an idle person, he does not like to look ahead, in his opinion, he suddenly landed in Henan with the dignity of the emperor, at least to increase the morale of the officials and people in Henan, so that the war in Henan can last a little longer.
As for the safety of his life, it was not a matter for him to consider, but a matter for Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and He Xin, the chief officer of the Second Army of the Guards.
According to the normal rules, the people who guard the bottom must ensure the safety of the emperor Zhu Youzhen according to various complex environments.
At the beginning of the morning, when the sun was warm, Zhu Youzhen put on his coat and got into the chariot under a pair of teary eyes, looking at the slowly retreating Nanjing City, Zhu Youzhen didn't know if this would be the only trip to Henan in his life.
Xia Yunyi's First Infantry Battalion (A Battalion) of the Second Army of the Guards Army and the 500 cavalry of Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, formed the Luanyu Escort Team, which is a relatively high-standard escort, of course, after all, it is going to the Henan front, and no one can guarantee that there will be no emergencies.
Because Xia Wanchun, the champion of the new department, was also the commander of Xia Yunyi's infantry battalion, Zhu Youzhen called Xia Wanchun to the dragon chariot and walked with him. Although Xia Wanchun is only fifteen years old, he has great loyalty to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, after all, he also knows that he can make him even in the middle of the three yuan, and become another peak figure in the imperial examination after Huang Guan and Shang in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of glory can only be given by His Majesty today. Zhu Youchun naturally gave Xia Wanchun a great kindness, even if Xia Wanchun didn't have much contact with Zhu Youzhen, but now when he arrived before Zhu Youzhen, Xia Wanchun was awe-inspiring.
