Chapter 87: Open and Honest
He Xi doesn't hate him, he even likes Anqing. But that doesn't mean He Xi doesn't know that the essence of his marriage to Anqing is a political marriage. The political marriage is to strengthen the mutual trust between He Xi and the Zhu family.
Although he is in a political marriage, He Xi still has to take the initiative for himself.
The biggest initiative is to pull Princess Anqing onto his ship. Let Princess Anqing speak for herself wholeheartedly. Only the deepest bond with Princess Anqing can be what Zhu Yuanzhang expected. In this way, the secret of He Xi's life experience is the certificate of surrender.
It was also a test of Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions towards him.
He Xi has thought about it many times.
It is the secret that I come from the hereafter. Of course he doesn't want to be exposed, so what is Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude? He Xi put himself in Zhu Yuanzhang's shoes and probably didn't want this news to spread. Increase uncertainty.
Even He Xi is worried that one day, the secret of the future will be revealed. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him and silence him.
This idea has always been He Xi's deepest nightmare.
If both He Xi and Princess Anqing knew this secret, Zhu Yuanzhang would become cruel, and of course he would not even care about his children. But Princess Anqing is also an important bargaining chip. At least he wouldn't kill his own daughter just to block the news.
Zhu Yuanzhang could see through He Xi's every little thought at a glance.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly sighed in his heart: "This kid He Xi just has too many thoughts." However, now Zhu Yuanzhang is asking He Xi to do something, and he must make He Xi feel at ease. So what is He Xi thinking? Zhu Yuanzhang just asked him to do whatever he wanted. As long as the overall situation remained unchanged, some details were not too important. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's fine, but this matter cannot be known to others. If someone accidentally knows it, report it to me. I understand."
He Xi said: "Yes."
------
"What?" Princess Anqing's face was red, with anxiety in her eyebrows. She put her slender hand on He Xi's forehead and said, "He Lang, are you sick? Otherwise, why would you say such nonsense?"
No wonder Princess Anqing reacted like this.
Anyone suddenly says that he has traveled through time six hundred years later. Everyone will be fooled. Princess Anqing didn't believe it at all.
He Xi said: "Although this matter is a bit unbelievable, it is indeed true. I didn't lie to you."
Princess Anqing had a solemn face and said without speaking at all: "It seems that you need to see an imperial doctor. Your illness is not serious."
Seeing this, He Xi took something out of his sleeve and gave it to Princess Anqing. Said: "Look at this."
Princess Anqing brings it over, nothing else. It was He Xi's cell phone. Princess Anqing was very curious. Touching it gently with your hand, it feels quite nice. It has a porcelain feel, with a black screen on the front, and a simple aesthetic overall. There is also a camera on the back.
Princess Anqing said: "What is this?"
He Xi said: "This is our most important external organ in the future. It's called a mobile phone. It can be used to do many things, such as making phone calls, watching TV series, playing games, etc."
Princess Anqing said: "What is a phone call?"
He Xi said: "Even if you are far away, you can still contact us through your mobile phone?"
Princess Anqing raised her hand again, wanting to touch He Xi's forehead. He was pressed down by He Xi. He Xi said: "Don't do anything. Others are watching. Be careful and tell the queen."
He Xi said as his eyes glanced around him. There were a total of four maids, four eunuchs, and a nun around the pavilion. But He Xi sent him away. From this distance, they could not clearly see what He Xi and Princess Anqing were holding, but they could clearly see their body movements. Princess Anqing touched He Xi's forehead many times.
He Xi was still not used to having people around him all the time. But Princess Anqing no longer cares. She has never lacked people around her since she was a child. Whether it’s eating, sleeping, taking a shower or going to the toilet. According to the rules of this era, it is estimated that when she has sex with He Xi in the future, she will inevitably have someone to wait on her.
Princess Anqing smiled slightly and said: "These people are all my people. They will go to the princess mansion with me in the future. They naturally know what to say and what not to say. But you said, this thing looks good, It feels good to the touch. But how do you use the functions you mentioned?"
He Xi was embarrassed for a moment. Said: "It can't be used now, there is no power."
When talking about this issue, He Xi's eyes filled with tears. Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, mobile phones seemed to be on the hands, but in this era. All electronic products are far away from He Xi. On the one hand, there is the situation of not being connected to the Internet. Regardless of whether mobile phones or computers are very attractive to He Xi. on the other hand. The charger was taken away. He Xi had no choice.
Princess Anqing said: "No electricity? What is electricity?"
He Xi said: "Mobile phones consume energy from electricity. They need to be charged every day."
Princess Anqing nodded confusedly and said: "What on earth is electricity? Forget it, no matter what electricity is, just charge it if you want. Why don't you have it? Why don't I go and beg Father. Father Everything is available everywhere.”
He Xi said, "Where does your father not have it? Your mother has a power bank that can be charged."
"This is easy to handle. I'll just go and get it." Princess Anqing approached He Xi slightly and said.
Until this point, Princess Anqing was still doubtful. I don't really believe anything He Xi said. What kind of future visitor? What mobile phone, what power bank. Princess Anqing didn't take it seriously at all.
However, Princess Anqing likes He Xi, and naturally also likes He Xi's serious nonsense.
He Xi thought for a long time and said, "Okay." He Xi then took out the charging cable and handed it to Princess Anqing. He said, "Go find the Queen. Take this thread. Does the Queen know how to use it?"
Princess Anqing was shocked and said, "Are you really going to see your mother?"
She always felt that He Xi was joking. But now I really want to see the Queen. She couldn't bear to make this joke. Zhu Yuanzhang generally didn't care about the affairs of the harem. The Queen was both a loving mother and a strict mother to Princess Anqing.
It’s okay for them to be joking here. But he didn't dare to get close to the Queen.
But He Xi thought it was a good idea.
Although the role of mobile phones is getting smaller and smaller for He Xi. But he is still used to having a mobile phone around him. It's not a problem if the phone is always out of battery. At Zhu Yuanzhang's place, He Xi could still find a way to get some electricity. But it won't work with the Queen.
the reason is simple. Although He Xi lives in the palace. But it is impossible to enter the harem.
Anyway, I have to tell Princess Anqing. Princess Anqing can come and go freely in the harem. Let Princess Anqing charge it for you. But it's very appropriate.
He Xi said: "You can just go. Don't worry, something really happened. It's mine."
Princess Anqing hesitated and asked repeatedly. Finally, I believed He Xi.
And Princess Anqing is not a fool. The style of this mobile phone and charging cable is incompatible with the Ming Dynasty style. Full of exotic style. It seemed that what He Xi said before was a bit ridiculous. But it's actually probably true.
-----
Queen Ma's daily routine is very normal now. After getting up every day, deal with all the affairs in the palace. Most of them were assigned to some concubines in the palace to do things. Then after lunch, I started to concentrate on watching the drama. Starting in the afternoon, I saw that it was dark. Because it gets dark early in winter, about two hours. Then, after fully charging with the charger, continue watching. Seen sleeping. The next morning, the solar charger was basking in the sun while charging the computer.
Wait until the afternoon to fully charge the computer. Let the solar charger charge for an afternoon. Use again.
The only thing that bothered Queen Ma was that there weren't many plays on the computer. In addition, the electricity does not seem to be enough. Especially after cloudy days, the effect of solar chargers is very poor.
This troubled Queen Ma very much.
Six hundred years in advance, Queen Ma suffered from electricity anxiety.
Today, Queen Ma watched the drama as usual.
Suddenly I heard a report from outside, and a eunuch reported: "Ms. Qi, Princess Anqing is here."
Queen Ma hurriedly packed up her laptop and put it in the cabinet next to the bed. Not waiting for Queen Ma to hide the things. Princess Anqing has already arrived.
As the youngest daughter of Queen Ma, although the rules in the palace are strict, Princess Anqing is one of the few people who doesn't care about the rules. When Princess Anqing saw Queen Ma, she leaned over and said, "Mother-----"
I don't know if Queen Ma wanted to hide the strange look on her face, or she really couldn't stand Princess Anqing's appearance, so she scolded: "You are about to get married, and you are still so lively and unruly."
Princess Anqing could only stand back, bow to Queen Ma in a polite manner, and said: "My daughter pays homage to the Queen Mother."
Queen Ma hummed, which was considered a courtesy. Princess Anqing immediately relaxed, leaned against Queen Ma, and said, "Mom, I heard recently that you locked yourself in the house and couldn't come out. Did something happen?"
Queen Ma coughed. She couldn't tell An Qing that she was following a drama.
Empress Ma has always cared about what Zhu Yuanzhang said. She has also been through strong winds and waves. Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict with his words. Even his own daughter would not say a word about the things that Zhu Yuanzhang did not let anyone tell anyone.
So, she changed the subject and said: "Don't talk nonsense. I know exactly what you are doing now. Although you are already engaged and will get married at the beginning of the new year. But girls should be reserved. Be reserved. Do you understand? Just because I opened the door for you, you can’t go to meet your lover every day? How is this inappropriate? "
In fact, Queen Ma behaves very affectionately towards the young couple. It has long been out of sight. It was also because of He Xi's special status and the political intention of the marriage between the two that he did not say it out loud. Now that Princess Anqing is here, she doesn't want to find the right time to reprimand her.
