Chapter 264 What I want the most is not getting it.
Chapter 264 What you want most is what you don’t get.
But the red lady didn't know Zhu Cixiang's true thoughts. After seeing this, he was still considering Liu Rushi's feelings, and made up his mind even more. He must let His Majesty see clearly Liu Rushi's true face, not what he thought.
General.
Immediately, neither of them mentioned the matter again. Zhu Cixiang was afraid that the red lady would misunderstand in the future, so he began to talk to her about the rectification and standardization work of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
At this time, the red lady's whole mind was on Zhu Cixiang, and her thoughts were simple. She did not think about herself at all. The two of them discussed it until evening, and then left the imperial study room.
After dinner, the red lady did not take a bath with Zhu Cihong this time.
In the huge bathroom, Zhu Cixi closed his eyes tightly and leaned against the huge wooden barrel with a look of enjoyment on his face. The maid who was serving him had already been taken out.
After a while, a woman wearing a gauze palace dress and bare feet slowly walked in, her face full of nervousness and anxiety, but also a hint of expectation.
Although the woman's feet were bare and she made almost no sound, her heavy breathing still couldn't hide from Zhu Cixi's ears. He frowned and said with some displeasure, "Didn't I say not to disturb you?"
Zhu Cihong only thought that it was some bold palace maid who came to seduce him while the red lady was not around, and wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
He has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and dozens of palace maids have indeed succeeded in the past six months, so after taking a bath, he simply kicked those palace ladies out without giving them a chance.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, I am afraid that within a few years, the harem team will probably have to have a reinforcement group, and the palace courtyard of the harem will not be able to accommodate them.
After all, after sleeping with him once, he must at least be granted the status of a talented person, he must be given an independent courtyard, and he must be served by two maids.
Although the royal family is now rich and wealthy, they don't care about this expense at all. No matter how much he can afford to support, if he can't live in it, he will expand the harem in the worst case. However, Zhu Cixiang does not want to blindly expand the harem team just because he can't hold back for a while.
After all, his energy is limited. In the end, raising a bunch of resentful women with no emotions at all is not what he wants, and it is also a waste of resources.
So now that he saw that even the palace maid had the courage to seduce her after he had given her orders, Zhu Cixiang became a little angry and decided to drag her down later and give her a few slaps on the butt to kill this unhealthy trend.
In fact, he also knew that the main reason why these maids were so bold was that there was no queen in the harem, and the red lady was used to being a carefree concubine, so she didn't care about such things at all.
As an emperor, he has a modern mindset. Under normal circumstances, as long as he does not make any serious mistakes, the most punishment for the palace maids is fines and confinement. There are very few punishments, let alone beheading, so the atmosphere in the harem is very tense.
It is relaxed and lively, not as depressed and lifeless as the harems of other dynasties.
Originally, Liu Xinlan, the chief steward, was still intimidating the palace ladies who only dared to seduce the emperor secretly. However, since Liu Rushi took over, the palace ladies began to act unscrupulously, and sometimes even dared to seduce the emperor blatantly.
For example, when you get up in the morning to serve, or when you take a shower.
He also thought about leaving all these tasks to the palace ladies he had slept with, but he was worried that they would compete with each other and cause some messy things, so these tasks have now been replaced by eleven or twelve-year-old girls.
She is a little maid. Who would have thought that a little maid of eleven or twelve years old would not be simple-minded.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Liu Rushi looked at the little emperor who was soaking in the water, with only his head exposed, and called out in a trembling voice. There was a thin layer of sweat on his palms and forehead, which showed how nervous he was.
Zhu Cihong was stunned, looked back at Liu Rushi, and said with a wry smile: "But the imperial concubine asked you to come?"
"Um!"
Liu Rushi nodded lightly, her pretty face so red that it almost dripped with blood. She wanted to go forward to serve her, but her legs felt like they were taking root and couldn't move forward.
"What did the imperial concubine tell you?" Zhu Cixi was lying on the tub and asked curiously.
Seeing that she was wearing only a layer of almost transparent tulle all over her body, her snow-white skin was looming, and her gorgeous appearance was really alluring.
But Zhu Cixiang was slightly disappointed. In his heart, Liu Rushi should not be such a woman. Even if she was encouraged by the red lady to serve him, she should not be dressed like this.
"Replying to Your Majesty, I just asked if I would like to come and bathe Your Majesty..."
Liu Rushi raised her head and replied softly.
"Actually, I would rather discuss poetry with you!"
After Zhu Cixiang finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
He also knew that no woman like him, a young, handsome, talented and decisive emperor, could resist the temptation to climb onto the dragon's bed. But now that he saw a strange woman like Liu Rushi, he was no exception, and his heart was extremely complicated.
, an unspeakable contradiction.
Even though I feel complacent and complacent about my own charm, I feel very boring at the same time.
"ah!"
Liu Rushi was even more at a loss. She didn't understand what the little emperor meant. After thinking about it, she tried to say: "His Majesty likes poetry, so I will compose an old poem for him."
"Forget it, go ahead and give me a back rub!" Zhu Cixi waved his hand. Although he was a little disappointed, compared to those palace maids, Liu Rushi was indeed a little moved.
It doesn't make any sense anymore. At the worst possible outcome, we'll have to look for and train new candidates for the general manager.
"It's Your Majesty."
Liu Rushi had no choice but to bite her lip, walked to the tub and stepped in.
In fact, she didn't hear the disappointment in His Majesty's tone, and she understood why His Majesty was disappointed, but she also understood that there was probably no woman in the world who could remain reserved in front of the little emperor for a long time.
Especially every time when I see the little emperor doting on the red lady, I can't help but think about how nice it would be to be myself. In addition, there are many bold palace maids who have successfully won the favor, so when the imperial concubine told her tonight, she would
I couldn't stay calm anymore.
Although Liu Rushi was over thirty, when she came to the bathtub and looked at Zhu Cixiang, she was still as shy as a little girl and a little at a loss.
Seeing her expression like this, Zhu Cixiang finally became interested, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile: "I also feel that in this situation, it would be an elegant thing for Madam to write a poem to cheer her up.
But the words Madam writes must fit the current scene!"
"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so bad and like to tease people..."
How could Liu Rushi not understand what Zhu Cihong meant? After being in contact with him for so long, she also understood his character, so she couldn't help but blush and say something coquettishly.
