Ye Jing.
After the Jingguo military parade ended, the envoys from the three countries rushed back without stopping, and Sima Yi also hurried back to Ye Jing to report what he saw and heard to Cao Cao in detail.
After learning about Jingguo's majestic military appearance, Cao Cao frowned slightly.
After learning about Jingguo's Kecheng heavy crossbow, Cao Cao frowned for a long time and could not relax.
After learning that Jingguo had not yet displayed its powerful cannons, Cao Cao suffered from a headache. He held his forehead with his hand and sucked in cold air hissingly between his teeth. He lay on the bed groaning in pain.
He lay there for five days.
Sima Yi did not dare to go in to report any more, and could only wait until Cao Cao's headache was completely cured. After five days of rest, Cao Cao's headache finally stopped, but the incident of Jingguo lingered for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, Zhang Xiu's young and fierce face would flash in his mind.
I couldn't sleep, so I had to wander around the backyard to change my mood.
It was May day, the moon was shining brightly on the earth, the flowers in the backyard were in full bloom, and the fragrance was overflowing. Cao Cao felt a lot better, and he walked unknowingly to the East Palace.
Suddenly, Cao Cao stopped.
His eyes shrank, his eyes brightened, and he looked forward. In the pavilion in the lake in the backyard, he saw a woman wearing a silver-red organza shirt, concentrating on doing embroidery in the pavilion. Looking at her breathtaking curves made Cao Cao feel uneasy.
After recovering from a serious illness, Cao Cao became energetic on a whim. He walked towards the pavilion with a square step and a smile on his face, hands behind his back.
Before he entered the pavilion, the gentle breeze brought a light fragrance, which made his nose itchy and his heart also itched. He looked carefully at the woman in the pavilion who was concentrating on doing embroidery, with a pink blush on her fair face and two looming dimples under the corners of her mouth. Her black hair was meticulously taken care of. Although she was sitting, her plump and graceful figure could not be hidden.
After looking at it for a moment, the fire in my heart was stoked.
"Who are you?" Wei Wei threatened the woman, and Cao Cao deliberately coughed and walked slowly into the pavilion, "Why are you doing embroidery here?"
The woman was obviously startled, and her whole body trembled violently. She hurriedly raised her head and saw that it was Cao Cao. She was so frightened that she stood up in a hurry, gently raised her skirt and knelt down and said, "Greetings to the emperor! I am the wife of the prince, Mrs. Zhen."
"Mr. Zhen?"
Hearing that she was the wife of his son Cao Pi, Cao Cao was greatly disappointed. The fire in his heart swelled to the point where he felt uncomfortable. Looking at the charming back of Zhen who was kneeling at his feet, he became even more angry. After thinking about it carefully, he asked: "But what happened? Is Yuan Xi’s wife Zhen Ji?”
Zhen didn't dare to raise her head: "Yes."
In fact, Cao Cao had heard about the beauty of the Zhen family and had planned it for a long time. When he invaded Yecheng, in order to prevent the Zhen family from being attacked first, he ordered people to strictly guard the Yuan Mansion and no one would be allowed to enter unless ordered to do so.
As a result, Cao Pi disobeyed and broke into Yuan's mansion without permission and intercepted the Zhen family.
At that time, although I was filled with anger, I had no choice but to compete with my son for a woman! If these words spread, he will affect his reputation, so he can only bear this feeling. Unexpectedly, I accidentally bumped into him tonight, and the fire in my heart crackled in my mind, just like a hungry person who suddenly sees delicious barbecue roasting on the fire, but can only smell this smell. If you can't eat it, you will be burned.
"Get flat!"
After calming down the fire burning in his chest for a while, he walked forward and saw the embroidery embroidered by Zhen. It was a sachet. The embroidery was of a very high level, almost lifelike. He glanced down involuntarily and saw Zhen's hands were as slender and white as fingers like peeled onions. Her eyes moved to her chest, and Cao Cao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva as his Adam's apple rolled.
Looking further up, the white neck and collarbone are very charming.
The gaze continued to move upward, and one saw the red lips, which were really like pearls in the mouth. The gaze continued to move upward, only to find that Zhen's face was red and she did not dare to look up, and her delicate nose was moving slightly, obviously she was a little scared.
Only then did Cao Cao realize that he had lost his composure.
"Father!"
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps, just like the prince Cao Pi hurried in, and he knelt down in a hurry: "My son, I bow to my father, are you feeling better?" Then he caught a glimpse of Zhen and said, "What are you doing here? Why don’t you retreat quickly!”
It is better to know your father than your son.
When Cao Pi saw his father here, he knew what he was thinking. If I come a little later, I'm afraid there will be scandal in the Wei Palace. Running all the way from the East Palace, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
When Zhen saw Cao Pi coming, she was relieved. She hurriedly took the sachet, said goodbye to Cao Cao, and left in a hurry.
His own interest was swept away, Cao Cao looked embarrassed, and glanced at Cao Pi with a cold gaze, "I have been in bed these days, and you are in charge of all major affairs in the court. Is there anything important happening?"
It sounded like he was venting his dissatisfaction and looking for trouble.
Cao Pi immediately replied respectfully: "Father, the summer harvest is around the corner. In the past few days, the Ministry of Revenue has sorted out last year's grain situation and freed up some warehouses to prepare grain for summer taxation. Because Yanzhou and Yuzhou are building official roads, the Minister of Industry, Hua Xin, (xin) Ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate one million taels of silver, and ask Father Zhu to approve it. The development of equipment arranged by the Ministry of War still requires two to three hundred taels of silver, and I also want Father Zhu to approve it."
The fire in Cao Cao's heart had nowhere to vent, so he seized the words and said in a cold tone: "Are you waiting for me to do everything myself? As the crown prince and prince, you are in charge of national affairs, can't you handle it? If I lie down for another ten and a half days, Months, do these things have to wait?"
Cao Pi knew why Cao Cao was angry.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
After a while, Cao Cao softened his tone and asked, "Has there been any news from the hidden guards about Jingguo's sky-blasting cannon?"
Cao Pi: "This object is the top secret of the Jingguo. Even the three prime ministers of Shangcheng Pavilion don't know the power of this object. Our people can't take action at all."
Cao Cao hummed and moved to the position Zhen Ji had just done.
There is also a slight residual warmth.
The fire that had just been calmed down in his heart was stirred up again. He turned around and saw the prince who interrupted his interest, and said angrily: "I can't find out! What's the use of raising them at such a high price? Go and find a way to find out!" "
Cao Pi snorted and quickly retreated.
The surroundings returned to silence.
Cao Cao looked at the place where Zhen Ji disappeared just now, thinking about getting Qianying in his mind, and sighed helplessly. Now that the matter has come to this, no matter how itchy his heart is, he does not dare to do anything to Zhen Ji.
After sitting for a moment, he stood up and headed towards Mrs. Yin's bedroom.
This Mrs. Yin was originally the daughter-in-law of He Jin, the general of the Han Dynasty. After He Jin died, Cao Cao adopted He Jin's wife, daughter and daughter-in-law.
