At the gate of the Imperial Concubine's Mansion, when the red lady learned that the little emperor was coming, she only thought that he was here to see Chen Yuanyuan.
He secretly thought that this little emperor was not very old, but he was so lustful and lustful that he couldn't even wait for a day, so he rushed over.
Zhu Cixiang didn't know what she was thinking, so he jumped off the dragon's platform, stepped forward to help her up and said, "My beloved, you don't need to be polite!"
After saying that, he took her hand and walked directly into the house.
Nowadays, the red lady is used to not rejecting being held by Zhu Cixiang, or even taking advantage of her.
So he said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you go out of the palace at night like this, you can easily be taken advantage of by unscrupulous people. If anything happens in the future, please send someone to report it and let me go into the palace!"
"Why, my beloved concubine, don't you welcome me?"
"I don't dare. I'm just worried about His Majesty's safety."
"Haha, if my beloved concubine is really worried about my safety, why not live in the palace?" Zhu Cixiang looked at her and said with a smile.
The red lady lowered her head as usual and did not answer.
"My beloved, you are not in the army, so why are you still wearing armor? How inconvenient! Go and change your clothes. Today I want to talk to you about Jiangnan. Let's talk over a drink later!"
After the two of them came to the pavilion in the garden of the back house and sat down, Zhu Cixiang looked at her armor and waved his hands.
"Then your Majesty, sit down for a moment, I will go take a bath and change clothes right now!" The red lady had to stand up and said.
"Well, go quickly!"
After the red lady left, Zhu Cixiang sat alone in the pavilion and became a little bored. Fortunately, not long after, the maids came to the pavilion carrying wine and food.
Zhu Cixiang drank by himself for a while, then he saw a beautiful woman wearing a chest-length skirt and a red tulle, walking towards her with her arms around her pipa.
Zhu Cixiang was stunned, his eyes widened suddenly, his hand shook, and the wine glass almost fell to the ground.
"This concubine pays homage to His Majesty!"
Chen Yuanyuan came forward and curtsied, her voice thin and waxy.
In addition, the gauze was almost transparent, and the tender skin on the chest and jade arms was faintly visible, which gave Zhu Cixiang a layer of goosebumps all over his body.
He secretly thought that this woman is indeed capable of bringing disaster to the country and the people, but she said calmly: "Madam, there is no need to be polite, where is the noble concubine?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I'm going to answer your Majesty's question. Your Majesty is taking a bath, so I asked my concubine to play a piece of music for Your Majesty to relieve your boredom."
Chen Yuanyuan explained with a hint of nervousness.
I finally dared to secretly take a look at the sitting little emperor.
Seeing that although his face was immature, he was still handsome and had a unique imperial temperament, his heart beat inexplicably faster and his palms were slightly sweaty, showing how nervous he was.
"The noble concubine has thought carefully about it. Okay, then please trouble me to play a song, madam!"
Zhu Cixiang didn't refuse, he just had nothing to do, so he wanted to see how capable Chen Yuanyuan was.
He didn't believe that even though he was a dignified emperor, he was not as good as Wu Sangui and could be fascinated by a woman.
"Your Majesty, this concubine is showing off her humiliation."
Chen Yuanyuan knelt down and saluted again, then sat on the stool opposite, plucked the strings, and began to sing while playing.
Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire pavilion became sad and desolate.
This was the first time Zhu Cihong had enjoyed ancient music since time travel. The person who played it was Chen Yuanyuan, a famous person in history. He gradually relaxed his mind and closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.
After playing the song, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were full of tears, and her whole person looked even more charming. I felt pity for her, and with her peerless appearance, I really couldn't help but want to step forward and hug her into my arms to comfort her.
"I'm afraid only a woman with a rough fate like Madam can play such tear-jerking music."
Zhu Cixiang slowly opened his eyes, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then sighed.
Historically, among the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, Chen Yuanyuan was the most famous, and also had the most tragic fate.
The other seven women were able to barely choose their own place by relying on their talents and the praise of Jiangnan scholars.
But Chen Yuanyuan had the worst luck. She was caught by Tian Guozhang, a completely unruly relative, and was forcibly redeemed and taken away.
No matter how unwilling the Jiangnan scholars were, they could only verbally condemn her. After all, a famous prostitute in a brothel was not worth standing up for and offending a relative.
But if you leave Jiangnan and lose the protection of those scholars and scholars, you will really be reduced to the plaything of the powerful.
In fact, in essence, the so-called famous prostitutes in Jiangnan are just playthings raised by the powerful and literati in Jiangnan.
It's just that people got tired of playing the kind of games that could be demolished with just a few bucks, so they took the game to a new level.
Deliberately praising these famous prostitutes, praising them as cold and reserved, and cultivating talents that are impressive, and then everyone uses their own methods to compete fairly, which will undoubtedly be much more exciting.
So when it comes to enjoyment, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were definitely at the master level. They were not only full of tricks, but also unconventional.
"It makes Your Majesty laugh. If Your Majesty likes to hear it, how about I play another song for Your Majesty?"
Chen Yuanyuan was quite surprised when she saw that the little emperor just sighed and said nothing further, so she had to say it again.
"No need, you shouldn't listen to this kind of sad music too much!"
Zhu Cihong waved his hand.
Although I sympathized with her experience, it was just a sigh.
No matter how miserable her experience was, at least she lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. Compared with the millions of people who were on the verge of starving to death in the Ming Dynasty, it was nothing at all. Compared with the women of the Han family who were plundered by the slaves over the years,
She is also nothing.
Ever since he came through time travel and determined to save the Han people and dominate the world, Zhu Cixi understood that he could only have the great love of caring for all living beings in his heart.
Because of this, when he was preparing to give up the millions of refugees in the city, he could have a clear conscience.
"How about I dance for your majesty?" Chen Yuanyuan had to try again carefully, feeling a little panicked in her heart.
"Well, you can have this."
Zhu Cixiang nodded, that sad song was really too beautiful.
Chen Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully leaned the pipa against the stone pillar nearby, and began to dance gracefully.
If she was still not interested, she would wonder if the little emperor was no longer interested in women, so at this moment she also had the idea of refusing to admit defeat.
She guessed that the little emperor was still young and therefore did not know how to show mercy to others, so she decided to be bold and direct.
This is no different from the sadness just now. Now Chen Yuanyuan's dancing posture is reserved but also has a touch of charm, which is very tempting.
Sure enough, such a fragrant scene, after three glasses of wine, Zhu Cixiang's eyes also had a trace of fire.
Chen Yuanyuan had obviously been secretly paying attention to Zhu Cixiang's reaction. Seeing this, she finally felt at ease. The next moment, she pretended to step on the hem of her skirt and accidentally fell towards him. It seemed so natural.
"ah…"
"Madam beware..."
Zhu Cihong had quick eyes and quick hands and caught her.
Chen Yuanyuan fell into his arms like a frightened little rabbit, and then she apologized with fear and sincerity: "I deserve death for my crime. I frightened Your Majesty. Please punish me."
"It's okay. Madam is not injured?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am fine, I made Your Majesty laugh."
One of them stayed still, and the other forgot to let go, just hugging each other like this.
In the end, Chen Yuanyuan broke the ambiguous atmosphere and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that even the wise kings of the past and present cannot compare with him. I admire you so much. Being able to perform for your Majesty today is really a blessing that I have cultivated for three generations. I have the guts to respect you."
I wonder if your majesty would allow me a glass of wine?"
After saying that, he looked full of admiration, expectation and anxiety.
This time Chen Yuanyuan didn't show off, and she spoke the truth.
Putting aside everything else, the little emperor's trust and doting on the red lady alone made him envious of all the women in the world.
Although everyone scolded Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty for being fatuous and Concubine Yang for causing harm to the country and the people, who among the women in the world wouldn't want to be Concubine Yang who was loved by thousands of people?
So when the imperial concubine asked her to serve His Majesty, she didn't have much resistance in her heart.
Because she knew that she was now praised to the point where no man in the world would dare to want her except the emperor.
If she could not get the little emperor's favor and favor in the end, then she would have no choice but to become a nun.
"Then have a drink!"
Zhu Cixiang was not that particular and enjoyed being praised by her very much. He happily lifted her up and sat her on his lap.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for this..."
Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly thanked En and poured the wine, then picked up two glasses of wine, fed him to drink, and drank by herself, with a pair of autumn-like eyes full of spring.
In this way, Chen Yuanyuan continued to use words to please Zhu Cixiang, and at the same time continued to feed him food and wine.
He used all his means, and the size was just right.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me. I'm a concubine. I'm just a bit drunk..." Chen Yuanyuan exhaled and held her forehead. Her whole body was as soft as cotton.
"Then let me help you go back to your room and take a rest..."
As Zhu Cixiang said this, he picked her up by the waist and headed towards the bedroom.
Hong Ling, who was responsible for guarding the safety, hurriedly followed.
I was cursing in my heart that Chen Yuanyuan was indeed a vixen, and in just a few moments she was so obsessed with the little emperor that she completely forgot about the imperial concubine.
"There's no need to follow."
Zhu Cixi walked into the bedroom and said something to the back.
Hong Ling had no choice but to stamp her feet and pull the door shut.
Zhu Cixi came to the bed and directly touched Chen Yuanyuan and threw her on the bed.
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned by the fall. She let out a soft snort and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, this little emperor really doesn't know how to show mercy at all!
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement, so I had to slowly open my eyes, only to find that His Majesty was sitting on the edge of the bed leisurely.
After a moment's thought, I realized that I shouldn't lie down, but should wait for His Majesty to change his clothes.
So he stood up and pressed forward from behind, calling softly: "Your Majesty, I am a bitch for you..."
"Chen Yuanyuan, what crime do you deserve?"
Zhu Cixiang took her hand away from her chest and said coldly.
Chen Yuanyuan was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Then she panicked, thinking that the power of God was unpredictable and that she had accidentally violated a taboo. She was so frightened that she quickly climbed out of bed and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"This bitch deserves to die, your Majesty, please convict me."
"It seems that Madam is very drunk!"
"This bitch deserves to die. She shouldn't have lied to His Majesty..."
Chen Yuanyuan's face turned pale, and her body began to tremble slightly.
"Get up, I don't blame you for this matter, just go and call the imperial concubine!"
Zhu Cihong saw that she was frightened, so he softened his tone and laughed in his heart. He was worried that he had no excuse to win the red lady, but now he is fine.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Yuanyuan did not dare to say any more, and hurriedly thanked her, turned around and picked up the hem of her skirt and hurried out of the bedroom. She could not figure out why His Majesty, who was so good, suddenly changed his attitude, and what did he do wrong?
Is it because he pretended to be drunk and allowed His Majesty to carry him into the room?
But don’t all men like this kind of sentiment?
Outside the door, the red lady also came over secretly. Looking at Chen Yuanyuan who came out, she said in surprise: "Why did you run out if you don't serve His Majesty well?"
"Back to the Queen, Your Majesty seems to be angry and wants you to come in to see the driver." Chen Yuanyuan replied in a low voice.
"What?"
"Wasn't... you were fine just now? Why are you suddenly angry? Tell me! What did you do?"
When the red lady heard that she had actually made the little emperor angry, her face suddenly changed and she said sternly, but in her heart she was not angry but happy.
"Go back to your Majesty, I really didn't do anything..."
Chen Yuanyuan almost cried and quickly explained.
Who knows what the little emperor was having, so he put him on the bed without taking off his clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed throwing a tantrum.
"You should step back first!" The red lady frowned and couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she waved her hand.
"It's your Majesty, please leave!"
Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to resign and leave in despair.
"Sister Hong, Your Majesty is already angry. What else are you thinking about? Come in quickly!" Hong Ling on the side quickly urged.
"But…"
The red lady looked at the tulle palace skirt she was wearing. When the matter came to a close, she felt a little uneasy and hesitant.
"Sister Hong, don't you just want to wear it to show His Majesty? What else are you embarrassed about?" Hong Ling covered her mouth and laughed.
"Talk too much!"
When the red lady saw that she had read through her thoughts, she immediately blushed and cursed, but she gritted her teeth and pushed the door open and walked in.
After arriving in the bedroom, the red lady held up her palace skirt and walked carefully. Although her posture was not as elegant as Chen Yuanyuan's, she still had a hint of the temperament of a noble concubine.
Apparently, I have been secretly learning some court etiquette during this period and have worked hard on it.
"I come to see Your Majesty!"
Coming closer, the red lady slowly bent her knees and saluted Zhu Cixiang, who was sitting beside the bed, her nervous palms sweating.
Zhu Cixiang's eyes lit up when he saw her dressed like this and obviously wearing light makeup.
I immediately understood what was going on.
This girl must have mistakenly thought that she was here to see Chen Yuanyuan and got jealous, so she started to compare herself with others and wanted to dress up more beautifully in front of her.
However, he still said with a straight face: "Can my beloved concubine know her sin?"
"I don't know, your majesty, please make it clear!"
"I ask you, did you ask Chen Yuanyuan to seduce me? Don't you know that it is a grave sin to seduce your Majesty?"
"ah!"
"Your Majesty, isn't it... I know that I am guilty, please punish me!"
The red lady was stunned, and then she wanted to say, "Didn't you come to see Chen Yuanyuan specially?" But in the middle of the sentence, she knelt down to apologize.
"My beloved concubine is actually aware of her crime. How about punishing my beloved concubine to sleep with her tonight?"
Zhu Cixi leaned forward and lifted her chin directly, and said with burning eyes.
The red lady immediately blushed and her heart skipped a beat when he stared at her. She quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Didn't His Majesty say that all ministers will be treated as concubines?"
"I have said that my lovely concubine should never let Chen Yuanyuan mess with me tonight. I am a body of ten thousand gold, how can an ordinary woman get close to her?"
"Now I only have you as my concubine. My beloved concubine said, who should I let you sleep with?"
With a wicked smile on his face, Zhu Cixi raised her head again and asked her to look at him.
"Does Your Majesty really need to be like this... to feel at ease?" The red lady bit her lips and asked breathlessly.
Zhu Cixiang was embarrassed by her question.
I secretly thought that although this girl has a good figure and very beautiful appearance, she doesn't understand the slightest bit of amorous feelings. She and Chen Yuanyuan are two extremes.
How can you ask such a question at a time like this? Isn’t this a disgrace to the scenery?
But she didn't understand Fengqing, but she couldn't understand it, otherwise this matter wouldn't be able to continue, so he stood up and helped her up, saying softly: "My beloved concubine, I have misunderstood. It's not that I don't worry about my beloved concubine. In fact, I
I have always admired my beloved concubine, and I sincerely want to have a royal son with my beloved concubine so that I can inherit the throne in the future..."
"ah!"
This sudden scene scared Zhu Cixiang so much that he opened his mouth wide and almost shouted for help. Fortunately, his mouth was blocked in time, otherwise his reputation would have been ruined.
