"Junchen, where are the manpower? I'm ready and waiting to follow the army south."
In Chen Chen's mansion, Xue Hong, Zhu Hui, and Chen Chen were sitting around the table, each holding a handful of cards in their hands.
Originally, the regular meeting place for the three of them was the theater, but wasn't Xue Hong targeted by the eldest princess? Since they couldn't go to the theater, they changed the venue of the threesome to Chen Chen's house.
The capital is worthy of being at the feet of the emperor, and there are many scholars and writers. The bookshelf in Chen Chen's study is almost full of collections, and nothing is the same.
It is estimated that even if Lin Ruhai met, he would be called "a scholarly family".
The three of them got together early in the morning, had a meal at Chen Chen's house, and then made a deck of cards and played until now.
There were two notes stuck on Xue Hong's face, four on Chen Chen's face, and as for Zhu Hui... his face could not be seen at all.
Xue Hong: "Your Majesty's 10,000 soldiers and horses are also ready. They are waiting for the weather to calm down and will immediately go to sea for the eastern expedition."
Zhu Hui: "Well, anyway, I'm really looking forward to the expedition against Japanese pirates. After all, I've never been on an expedition with the army at this age."
Chen Chen: "Yes. Your Highness, you should concentrate on playing cards. You have let Junchen run away several times."
Zhu Hui: "It's none of my business to deal with six. It's also my fault for bad luck? Three, four, six, seven and no five. We've been playing cards for almost an hour, right? I haven't even seen what the big king and the four twos look like. The biggest one in my hand is an old man."
"Let's see! This one is going to be really tough."
Xue Hong: "A pair of guns, by the way, in total, are you satisfied with the painting I gave you?"
Chen Chen: "I don't know much about painting, but it looks very good, not to mention my skills in pen and ink, and the layout is also refreshing. My dad really liked it, so I gave it to him."
Xue Hong's hand holding the card suddenly shook: "What? Did you give the painting I painted to my uncle?"
Chen Chen: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xue Hong: "(??-﹏-`;) You must not have looked at that painting carefully..."
Chen Chen: "Isn't it just a landscape painting? What's wrong?"
Xue Hong had promised to paint a painting for Chen Chen before, but due to his personal bad taste, he added a little something to the painting.
It turned into a picture of Tom and Jerry traveling in the mountains. This thing...it seems inappropriate to give it away...
…
At the same time, Chen's father, who was far away in the Chen family's old house, was opening the scroll and preparing to appreciate the gift sent by his son.
"Well, the ink color is thick, but the layers are clear. It's like everyone else! It's really rare for Xue Hong to have such painting skills at such a young age."
"Oh? This kind of layout has a clear sense of hierarchy and both form and meaning are good."
"Hmm??? What is this⊙??⊙?"
As the scroll unfolds, a strange creature comes into view.
I saw this creature with a human-like cat head, bared teeth, and split a big tree with its crotch.
Father Chen was confused and didn't understand what it was, so he could only continue to look down.
"Ah!! What is this??"
Suddenly, I found another strange creature, a small one, standing upright and looking very smart.
A painting that was originally good, but with the addition of these two creatures, it feels strange no matter how you look at it.
…
But as for Wang Ting, since Prince Teng came to propose marriage to Baochai half a month ago and was punished by Xue Hong, his life during this period has been colorful.
Xue Hong taught Wang Ting a good lesson with the systematic and professional knowledge accumulated by modern people over the years such as fraud and porcelain!
For the first time, Xue Hong arranged for a few people to "sell oneself to bury his father" for Wang Ting. He tricked Wang Ting into having a violent spat in the suburbs!
The second time, Wang Tingji was cheated of two thousand taels of silver by the "tea girl".
The third time, Wang Ting was hit by another immortal jump.
The fourth time, on the streets of Beijing, I "unfortunately" injured the "old man". When I was about to bully him, I "happened" to be passed by Zhu Hui, the righteous hero who passed by, so I "willingly" handed over 20,000 taels. tuition fee.
The fifth time, while drinking flower wine in the middle of the night, I was secretly surrounded by a few people, almost singing the song "Back Garden Flowers" across the river. If Wang Ting's shouting hadn't attracted official officials, the fun would have been even greater.
the sixth time……
Later, Wang Ziteng couldn't bear it anymore and completely admitted his defeat. He gave 30,000 taels of silver to Xue Hong as tea fee, and another 30,000 taels of silver to Zhu Hui, and the matter came to an end for the time being.
There is no other way. You can't compete with others in terms of strength, and your background is not as strong as Zhu Hui's. What else can you do except admit defeat?
The title of Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp sounds scary, but in fact, unless Emperor Longqing gives the order, even a thousand soldiers and horses in the Beijing Camp, including Wang Ziteng, cannot move them!
Although Wang Ziteng looks good now, in fact all the middle-level generals in the army are from Emperor Longqing.
…
In the palace, Emperor Longqing and Empress Yin were sitting in the back garden, chatting about interesting things from their youth.
Queen Yin gave birth to four sons for Emperor Longqing throughout her life. Among the six princes now, except for the second prince and the fourth prince, the other four princes were all born to Queen Yin.
Queen Yin married Emperor Longqing at the age of fifteen, and it has been nearly thirty years now.
The relationship between the two did not fade over time, but became stronger and stronger, and they became increasingly intolerant of others.
If Emperor Longqing might have cared about two beauties ten years ago, now all his thoughts are focused on Empress Yin.
Emperor Longqing held Empress Yin's hand and sighed: "It's been fifteen years! I have not dared to relax for a moment since I ascended the throne. Now, it has finally come to an end. I can take a breath."
Queen Yin: "As the emperor, your majesty has the heavy burden of the world on your shoulders. What I can do is to help your majesty take care of the harem and prevent your majesty from being distracted."
Emperor Longqing looked at Queen Yin, stretched out his hand and touched her cheek: "Queen, I am sorry for you. Now among our sons, except for Xiaoliu, none of us wants to compete for my position."
"I'm just afraid of the future..."
Queen Yin covered Emperor Longqing's mouth, her eyes full of tenderness: "Your Majesty, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We don't need to worry about the children anymore."
It seems to be God's will. Although the prince was not smart and was even mediocre in all aspects, Sheng did not have any major flaws in his character. After taking office, he did not say that he worked hard to govern, but he still had no problem being a benevolent king and guarding the Ming Dynasty.
But God's wish did not come true. The prince is now twenty-eight years old and still has no children. Even the imperial doctor can't find any problem. It seems that this is God's will.
This time, many ministers were ready to move, intending to join forces and follow the dragon.
The second prince is the one who dances the hardest among the princes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is here!"
I saw a white-haired old man wearing a dragon robe, walking like a dragon and a tiger, driving to the imperial garden with old concubine Zhen and several female historians.
One of the female historians, Queen Yin recognized, was Jia Yuanchun of Rongguo Mansion.
