Zhu Houzhao would go to Yongshou Palace every few days, but he still couldn't bear to part with the two sisters. Although he was diligent, he was not so diligent that he forgot the laws of nature and human desires.
He was always so honest and honest with himself. It's normal for boys to like pretty girls.
In addition, he still had a hidden worry in his heart. He had been to Yongshou Palace so many times but there was no movement, and he even had a miscarriage.
Could it be that this lineage really ends here, and the destiny is to reach the Xingwang lineage?
His cousin was smart, but even the smartest ministers were rubbed back and forth in his hands without any temper, and there was no one to teach him, so he was really powerful.
But he was not actually a good emperor.
This is one aspect.
On the other hand, under the palace politics at this time, the emperor's heirs were also an important aspect for the stability of imperial power.
And even if he considers a more trivial point, whether he can successfully conduct the expedition in person, it has something to do with the child.
Without a prince, it would be too rash for the emperor to go to that kind of place, especially in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty ministers who had memories of Tumu Fortress.
But in fact, he felt that it shouldn't be the case. His father was weak enough and still gave birth to sons and daughters.
I don’t know what’s going on.
Anyway, he can only take one step at a time. He has no control over this matter.
It's a pity that because he is very busy, it is actually difficult to see special women. Most of the maids in the palace are afraid when they see him.
This girl Kui'er, on the other hand, is pure and charming, and even if she chooses a queen or a concubine, she can't choose someone so high. These days, petite ones are easy to find, but tall ones are not.
However, he spoke so directly that it actually frightened Kui'er. She was at a loss for what to do for a moment. She blushed and pretended not to hear, and continued to take her pulse in a pretentious manner.
"I want to hear about it, Dr. Kui'er, you also need to take a look at me."
"Ah...yes."
Kui'er was a little confused, and when she raised her head, she finally caught the emperor's gaze.
Zhu Houzhao saw it more clearly. The delicate face was as white as jade, and the black hair hanging down on his face looked very girlish.
"Since I have recovered, I don't need to worry about the doctor entering the palace every month. From now on, Miss Kui'er will do it."
"His Majesty……"
The girl could no longer pretend not to know, she knew it in her heart, but she really had no experience and didn't know how to deal with it. The emperor's words were not very clear. The huge identity gap made her dare not think about that possibility.
"This, your majesty, please tell the master that Kui'er's identity... can only enter the palace by following the master."
"Oh, that's true..." Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized, "But that's not a problem, as long as you are willing to come."
"A civilian girl has been ordered to enter the palace to diagnose and treat His Majesty. Why wouldn't you want to?"
Zhu Houzhao has been able to gradually understand the reserve of ancient women, this sentence is it.
But after all, it's your first time, so it's not good to be too impatient.
"Okay, your words are enough."
Kui'er felt a little happy, but she just lowered her head so that the emperor wouldn't see it. Then she made a new diagnosis and said, "Does your Majesty still have a cough?"
"The cough is gone."
"That's great. But your Majesty is busy with state affairs and often forgets to eat and sleep. This is not good for the dragon body. The medicine... is not prescribed by civilian women, as long as it is a principle of labor and economical. If you have other instructions, your Majesty can tell you .”
Zhu Houzhao put away his arms and smiled, "No. Let's go to Yongshou Palace together."
"yes."
He is also more concerned about the situation there.
If he doesn't have this child, he will feel uncomfortable, Empress Dowager Zhang will feel uncomfortable, all the ministers will feel uncomfortable, even Huaixiao and Huaiyan will feel uncomfortable for themselves.
Although he is not an infatuated person like Emperor Hongzhi, nor can he love only one person in his life, he is not willing to let his people be miserable and shed tears all day long, and he cannot be indifferent to it.
Even if they are just businessmen's daughters, even if they are just nobles.
The Forbidden City is full of cold reality. If it is not necessary, he does not want to cause tragedy by himself.
Just like his grandmother Ji, Emperor Chenghua might have forgotten her.
On the way.
Kui'er walked beside him carrying a bamboo medicine box.
Soon we arrived at Yongshou Palace.
As soon as the emperor arrived, people knelt at the palace gate and in the palace.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "Everyone, get up."
After saying that, he went straight to Huaixiao and Huaiyan and asked Tan Yunxian, "Doctor Tan, is there any result in the diagnosis?"
Tan Yunxian frowned a little, "Your Majesty, there is no difference in the bodies of the two nobles. They have never been happy. Maybe it is because the time has not come. Moreover, the less it is, the more anxious it is, and the more anxious it is, the less it is. And so on. , there is no end.”
Zhu Houzhao looked at them from both sides and said, "I told them not to be anxious. But they are in a hurry, and I can't do anything about it. You two, after hearing what the doctor said today, you should know that letting nature take its course is the best way to do it." good."
"Yes." Huaixiao bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Doctor Tan."
In fact, he had heard a similar argument in his previous life, that is, couples should not be too stressed. Sometimes if they let go and don't think about it, surprises would come.
But he himself still understands this truth and can do it. It is indeed extremely difficult for these two people to completely abandon their thoughts...
But by chance, he thought of another way.
When Dr. Tan saw that there was nothing else to do, he said goodbye and left.
The emperor stayed in Yongshou Palace, looking at the two aggrieved girls, one by one, and rubbed their heads.
"Your Majesty, these two concubines have made Your Majesty worried again."
Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and held one at the same time, "Although this matter is a bit bad...but there is nothing we can do about it. Huaixiao, Huaiyan, would you like to have a drink with me?"
"Two drinks?" The two sisters looked at each other, feeling a little surprised, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink to relieve your worries?"
"I'm not using wine to relieve my sorrow." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, pinched Huaiyan's face and said, "I'm letting you relieve your sorrow."
How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang.
After a few glasses of wine, I couldn’t believe that these two people couldn’t go crazy.
Of course, this matter must be kept secret. If people find out about it, they will think that the emperor is using alcohol to cause chaos behind the harem.
In fact, he couldn't help it.
Anyway, try both good and bad methods.
After it gets late, red candles are lit in the Yongshou Palace.
Zhu Houzhao sat in the center, and they sat on both sides. There were chickens and fish on the table, and water rippled in the small white porcelain cups, which were freshly poured wine.
Beauty and wine, the emperor has never been so indulgent since the eleventh year of Hongzhi.
Huaixiao was still a little embarrassed, as if he didn't understand the holy intention and said: "Your Majesty... Is it better for my concubine and my sister to serve you and drink this wine?"
"The main thing is for you to drink. I will simply drink a little, but don't drink too much. If you drink too much, you will easily find your way out."
"But none of us have ever drank. If we drink too much and lose our temper and offend His Majesty, wouldn't it be..."
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao picked up the wine glass in front of her, "You two sisters are ordered to drink tonight, just drink."
The words fell here,
Huayan, who has always been weak, just picked up a cup and poured it with her head tilted up.
"Cough cough cough..." I probably didn't drink anything on weekdays, so I choked hard all of a sudden.
Zhu Houzhao also raised his glass and said, "I'm here to accompany you. I'm here to accompany you. If I'm smiling, you can drink too."
Anyway, after drinking, the mood is easily aroused and the atmosphere is easily heated up. Every girl is still under the influence of alcohol, especially Huayan. She drank too hard and too hard. After just a few drinks, her head was already leaning on her arms.
He looked helpless and helpless.
Huaixiao pointed at her and smiled, saying, "My sister is going to make a fool of herself in front of His Majesty."
When Zhu Houzhao heard that she could say such words, he knew that alcohol was actually starting to take effect.
He himself was the same. At first, he only came to drink for that purpose, but as he drank, he felt that after all, people need to adjust a little, so he might as well relax like this.
As a result, there were people drinking and drinking in the palace. The emperor served them wine, and they also turned around and fed the emperor.
Then they rubbed their ears and temples together, and their movements became more and more bold.
Zhu Houzhao also pulled Huaiyan and put him directly into his arms.
My sister Huaixiao usually felt that the emperor liked her more. She was fine without drinking. But when she drank, she started to taste bad. She got tired of him and blew her breath and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it good for me to be my concubine?"
"Okay, when did I say you were bad?"
On the other side, Huaiyan refused to admit defeat and sat on his lap and began to rub it.
Zhu Houzhao was shocked and surprised. He held her face and looked at her. His eyes were blurred, as if he was out of his mind.
He didn't know whether he continued to drink or not after that, but he was already in bed in his consciousness.
Clothes were thrown out one by one from the tent, but the people inside felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. The color of their clothes trembled when they took off their belts, and their tentacles became busier, but they could not see the ecstasy inside the skirt.
Later, when the wind blew and the candle went out, the sound gradually rose and then died down, then died down and then started again...
…
…
From then on, the king did not go to court early.
Zhu Houzhao now feels it personally.
Yesterday, he had issued an order to avoid going to court, but he knew that he might not be able to get up in the morning.
However, because the ministers knew the emperor better and better, they still had to enter the palace when it was time to enter the palace, and the notes from the attendant's room were handed over as usual.
It was Lin Han, the Minister of Rites, who waited once last time and waited again this time. When he came to the audience, he couldn't help but said: "For the sake of your Majesty's dragon body, please exercise restraint and cherish your body."
Of course he didn't know where the emperor was last night, but it was obvious why the emperor would be late.
"I also want to pass on the inheritance to the descendants of the Tian family." Zhu Houzhao stared at him and said something like this, and then returned the memorial in his hand to him, "The examiner of Bingyin Section in the first year of Zhengde was Mr. Xie Ge. As for you, the deputy examiner can select a few people as usual. Since it is said that the fourth day of October is a good day, then the examination will be held on that day. Lin Shangshu, "
"Wei Chen is here."
"The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the country to recruit talents, and my wedding is a grand ceremony for the country. The Ministry of Etiquette must be very busy recently, and there can be no mistakes in both matters. Especially for the imperial examination, most of the people used by the imperial court to implement policies recently need to have financial support. Therefore, I am considering whether the imperial examination can be slightly more focused, such as selecting only one of the questions, in order to select more usable talents for the imperial court."
Lin Han looked shocked when he heard this, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
