Li Qing's eyes narrowed, "Does this princess have anyone?"
"It should be Xu Ren," Wan Ling replied.
Li Qing did not pursue the question any further and said with a chuckle, "Since the princess is backing me, I feel relieved."
"Hmm..." Wan Ling glanced at him quietly and said tentatively, "The young master's poem..."
"The Madam has already told me." Li Qing said with a smile, "This is for the girl. If I can help the girl, I will do anything."
"Wanling thanks you for the gift."
Wanling Yingying stood up and bowed down, but was supported by Li Qing.
"Girl, don't be so polite."
Skin contact, half of the lotus arm is white and smooth, Li Qing is looking down, a ravine is vaguely visible, the eyelashes are thin and straight, the grape-like eyes are extremely smart, the nose is high, the lower jaw is delicate and rosy, the delicate oval face is flawless and beautiful Huan.
The distance between the two was only half a foot, and Wan Ling's alluring beauty appeared in front of him without reservation.
"Gudong~"
Li Qing couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, feeling distracted for a while.
He immediately cursed himself for being shameless, he is only fifteen years old!
The brief skin-to-skin contact made both of them a little uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
At this time, Lianxiang and Hongxiu came in after washing up, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Hong Xiu saw the expressions on the two men's faces and said with a sweet smile, "It seems we came at the wrong time."
"Yes." Lianxiang smiled evilly, "What does the young master think of being Wanling's sister?"
"The two sisters misunderstood." Wan Ling explained with a blushing face, twirling the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers, "Young master is not that kind of person."
"Hey, are you just talking to someone else?"
"Sister, you are really attracted to me." Lianxiang said with a smile, "Why don't you stay here tonight?"
Hong Xiu patted her and said angrily, "Be careful, if someone listens to it and tells the madam that she knows, my sister will be in terrible trouble."
What the gentry wants is a gimmick, and once you give him a body, it's worthless.
When the time comes, Wan Ling will inevitably be beaten severely, and will be decisively abandoned by the Madam, and will be completely reduced to a prostitute. How can she bear it at her age?
"You're just kidding." Lianxiang realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject, "I've been waiting for a long time, sir. It's been a long night..."
"It's still early." Wan Ling gave her an angry look, "Why are you so anxious, sister?"
Two women: "..."
Wan Ling was ultimately thin-skinned and left after a short time.
After she left, the three of them relaxed a lot.
Lianxiang twists her slender waist and sits down next to Li Qing. She pours wine from a pot and offers it to him, "Master, please drink from this cup."
"Haha..." Li Qing lowered his head and kissed his lips, drinking all the wine in the glass, "Good wine!"
Lianxiang smiled sweetly, stood up, fetched the guqin, plucked the strings, and Hongxiu danced to the music.
Li Qing drank by himself, listened to music and danced, and felt very happy.
…
At the fourth watch, the two women were fast asleep, and Li Qing left quietly.
I went home and practiced two sticks of incense, then got up and rushed to the palace.
Qianqing Palace.
The princes, princes, and grandsons greeted her every day. Even though Queen Ma's complexion was getting better day by day, she still needed to be polite.
Li Qing waited for them to finish their work before stepping forward to give Queen Ma acupuncture.
"Are you going to a brothel again?" Queen Ma hated the iron. "If you go every day, your iron body will not be able to bear it. Don't think that you are young and can indulge as much as you want. You will regret it later."
"Uh...that's what I taught you."
Li Qing smiled and said, "Weichen is a doctor, so he understands this. Please pay attention in the future."
After applying the acupuncture, Queen Ma sat up from the bed and asked, "Does this acupuncture need to be done every day?"
"Seven days is enough." Li Qing said, "Too much is not enough. Wei Chen's acupuncture is just a means to rejuvenate the empress. The empress herself is the most important thing.
Relax your mind, keep your body and mind happy, eat reasonably, eat small meals often... these play a key role in the condition of the empress.
Don't worry, the empress, Wei Chen will do his best and won't slack off at all. "
Queen Ma nodded slightly, "I feel much better now. Can I leave the palace for a walk?"
"Where are you going, empress?"
"Princess Mansion."
"Okay." Li Qing nodded.
Queen Ma was very happy and said, "Please step aside. I need to change my clothes."
"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."
Li Qing cupped his hands and left the hall.
As soon as he left the hall, he met Zhu Yuanzhang who came over and said, "Long live my humble minister."
"Get back on your feet." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and asked, "How is the queen's condition now?"
"Your Majesty is in the recovery stage."
"When can I fully recover?"
Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, "It depends on the situation. I dare not jump to conclusions."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang showed displeasure, he explained, "Your Majesty, when the empress' body will fully recover does not entirely depend on me. The empress herself plays a greater role."
"Ang." Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't like this answer, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He also knew this truth, so he gave Li Qing another cake.
Li Qing disapproved in his heart and had to pretend to be full of energy, which was really tiring.
While the two were talking, Queen Ma, dressed in formal clothes, walked out of the hall surrounded by palace maids.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down Li Qing and stepped forward, "Sister, where are you going?"
Empress Ma smiled and said, "Go and see Changning and Changan."
"Just let them come over." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You haven't recovered yet, so stop running around."
"Look at why my daughter ran away?" Queen Ma said dissatisfied, "Li Qing even said she could go."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Li Qing. Li Qing stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty, it's not far away. Your Majesty is not walking. Going out to relax will help with recovery."
After a pause, he whispered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is in the recovery stage, so you can't be angry. Just follow her."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded helplessly, "You go and follow, just in case."
"Your Majesty is going to see the princess. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go with you... Yes, I obey your order."
Zhu Yuanzhang's cold eyes softened slightly and he said to Queen Ma, "Don't be tired and come back early."
"I obey your orders."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang was a good father. He was afraid that his daughter would not be accustomed to marrying into her husband's family, so he specially built a princess palace. There were still maids and eunuchs to serve him. The princesses after marriage lived here.
Of course, the prince-in-law was not eligible to live in it, but Zhu Yuanzhang also bought a house for the prince-in-law in the capital.
The Ming Dynasty was deeply influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and believed that the relationship between men and women should be strictly guarded. Royal women should set an example for the world. Princesses and consorts must obtain the consent of female officials to have sex with each other.
The princess and the prince-in-law met very rarely, only a few times a month.
There is no difference between being a couple and being a widow or a bachelor.
It’s funny to say that while these great scholars strongly required women to observe chastity, they considered it a refined thing for men to engage in prostitution. There was nothing wrong with even talking about it in public. On the contrary, it was a manifestation of romance and could be used to show off.
Princess Mansion.
News of the queen's arrival spread quickly, and several princesses came to see her in a hurry.
"Lin'an, Ningguo, Anqing, Runing, pay homage to the Queen Mother."
"Get up, everyone, get up." Empress Ma said with a smile, "Why don't you bring my grandson?"
Several princesses laughed and said that the child had moved to live with the Prince Consort's house.
Although there was a smile on his face, his smile was bitter.
Queen Ma frowned slightly, "When did it happen?"
Princess Lin'an: "My father made the decree two months ago."
"It must be the fault of those corrupt scholars." Princess Ning Guo said angrily, "It really makes me angry to say that the princess's children are outsiders and cannot live in the princess' mansion.
Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter! "
She was Queen Ma's biological daughter and the eldest daughter, so she didn't have so many scruples about what she said. The other princesses didn't dare to say it, but she dared to say it.
When Princess Ning Guo said this, several princesses immediately echoed: "Sister (sister) said that!"
"I'll talk to your father when I get back." Empress Ma was also a little angry, "It's just that I can't see my husband on weekdays, but now I don't want my children to be with me. How can it make sense."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." The girls were extremely happy.
Princess Anqing noticed that there was a gaze directed at her from time to time. When she looked up, she realized that there was a handsome man following her mother, and she couldn't help but be startled.
