The Northern Expedition was not a simple war, but a social revolution in which millions of people participated and affected tens of millions of people.

Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, naturally did not have to participate in the front-line battlefield fighting.

Moreover, although the route of the First Army's march was closest to Beijing, in order not to force the Manchus to withdraw from the Guanwai in advance, and at the same time to completely eradicate the northern gentry class that hindered the future development of the Ming Dynasty, the speed of the First Army of the Guards Army was not fast.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen naturally didn't need to hurry up, he would stop and stay for a while when he basically arrived in a county now.

In this way, you can not only take a look at his country, but also familiarize yourself with the situation in the north by the way, and at the same time, you can also provide convenience for Jinyiwei who came to report the news.

Because of this, he also brought the noble Qi Deqian with him by the way.

Qi Deqian is one of the few nobles who have not been broken by him among the fifty nobles he chose a concubine last time.

Now on the way to the Northern Expedition, in addition to the hard work, daily life is naturally indispensable to the company of beauties, and the red sleeves add fragrance.

Moreover, Qi Deqian still maintains a youthful virgin atmosphere, and naturally has a period of charm, so that Zhu Youzhen Rao is already an emperor and has tasted countless beauties, but he also has a good impression of her, and taking it with him can naturally eliminate difficulties and add interest.

When Qi Deqian walked in with a tea greeting Xu Zhaohua, Zhu Youzhen was lying on his back and resting on the collapse at this time.

The place where he lives now is the urban mansion of a great squire of Wuqiao County, a typical northern courtyard building, the house is tall and spacious, and the square window is only a regular magnolia and begonia and other miscellaneous plants in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, the maple dew tea you want your concubine to make."

Qi Deqian only stood in front of Zhu Youzhen with his head down, his slightly convex chest was wrapped under the rosin-colored cardigan, the wide cuffs revealed his snow-white jade hands, the pink face with red ears seemed to have droplets of water about to drip down, and the slightly large apricot eyes saw only clear springs and no dust.

"You also know that you call yourself a concubine, sit next to me."

Zhu Youzhen patted the cushion beside him, and then pulled Qi Deqian's sleeve.

Qi Deqian nodded and obediently sat on the cushion next to Zhu Youzhen, still holding a tray carved with gold and plum blossoms in his hand, and a white porcelain bowl and official kiln teacup swayed as if he was about to spill the tea.

"You're scared of me?"

Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile, he didn't expect that he would be so scared, and he couldn't help but look at himself through the diorama opposite, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, short beard and thin face, although he was a little majestic, he was not as hideous as a ghost.

"No, no, the concubine has been serving it for a long time, and His Majesty still hasn't taken the tea."

Qi Deqian said with resentment, pursed her lips slightly, and felt a little speechless, but she didn't know how to explain it, seeing the eyes staring at her like a wolf, she felt as if she was about to be eaten.

"Eh", Zhu Youzhen took the teacup, thinking that it was his own fault, and he was a little embarrassed to take the tea: "Put it down." ”

"Yes!"

Qi Deqian put it on the coffee table on the side, and then walked back only facing Zhu Youzhen: "The concubine retires." ”

"Who told you to step down, come here, go back to your place and sit down, I will talk to you, don't be afraid, I won't eat you, I won't do anything to you, you have to know that I am the emperor now, if I really want to do something to you, you won't be finished until now."

Zhu Youzhen was quite speechless, the two sisters Huang Yuanzhen and Huang Yuanjie wished they could stay by their side for a while longer, but they didn't squeeze their waists and legs soft and never let go, now this Qi Dezhen sees himself like a mouse meeting a cat, with a clearly beautiful and impeccable face but a shy heart, so that Zhu Youzhen has to take the initiative every time to let Qi Dezhen follow his ideas.

Qi Deqian had to sit down, and Zhu Youzhen asked: "I asked you, I didn't accept the tea just now, so you planned to keep it like this, and I don't know how to put it on the coffee table next to you." ”

Qi De'e raised her eyebrows slightly: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

Poof!

"Okay, I'll ask you again, do you think I'm ugly," Zhu Youzhen asked.

"No, no, Your Majesty is Long Yan", Qi Deqian hurriedly shook his head.

"Then why don't you dare to look up at me!"

Zhu Youzhen asked sharply, and Qi Deqian hurriedly raised his head: "I look, I looked up." ”

"Do you think you're beautiful?" Zhu Youzhen asked again.

"No, the concubine is very ordinary, the concubine is not beautiful", after Qi Deqian finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen threw the teacup on the ground: "Then why did Han Shoujing lie to me, I wanted to kill him, and I chose a nobleman who was not beautiful to be me!" ”

Qi Deqian was frightened by Zhu Youzhen's sudden action: "No, Your Majesty, don't kill him, the concubine is not beautiful, the concubine is beautiful, the concubine is beautiful!" ”

"Since I'm not ugly, and you're beautiful, do you think you and I are talented and beautiful?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qi Deqian with a smile: "Raise your head, look at me squarely, and answer my question seriously." ”

This is the first time Qi Deqian looked up at Zhu Youzhen, looking at a strange man other than his father, his head went blank for a moment, and after a while, he realized that it seemed that the supreme person in front of him had asked him, and nodded instinctively: "It's a talented woman, it's a talented woman!" ”

As soon as Qi Deqian said this, he regretted it, and was even a little annoyed, his eyebrows frowned slightly, his apricot eyes were round, his teeth were clenched, and his arced face looked at Zhu Youzhen in a daze.

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, such a famous lady is a goddess-level figure in the future generations, no matter how hard he struggles in front of him, he will inevitably feel ashamed of himself, and now in Daming, Qi Deqian is just a flower that he can pick at any time, and he can ** her without pressure and anxiety.

This made Zhu Youzhen experience the pleasure of being an emperor, and when he saw Qi Deqian's helpless face, his heart was like eating honey, and he didn't feel tired after lunch for a while, so he only continued to ask Qi Deqian:

"I ask you, do you know who you are, what are you from me?"

Qi Deqian glanced at Zhu Youzhen, if she remembered correctly, Zhu Youzhen also asked this sentence on the first day she saw her, she looked at Zhu Youzhen like a fool with amnesia and was very boring, and began to be less in awe of Zhu Youzhen, this kind of emperor who keeps asking some nonsense is easy for people to forget to be in awe of him.

But Qi Deqian was afraid that he would suffer the loss of accidentally admitting that he and His Majesty were talented and beautiful just now, and he didn't know whether to answer.

"I asked you something, and no one in the world dared not to answer my question."

Zhu Youzhen's face was angry, and he got Qi Deqian closer, only to smell a wisp of fragrance rushing from the clothes, drunk with butterflies, and lost the spring breeze.
