After a while, Zhu Jianshen asked: "Seriously?"
"How dare I deceive the emperor?" Wynn nodded.
"Walk."
"yes."
…
"Your Majesty, this is Miss Ji's residence," Wynn stopped and said with great discernment, "My servant is waiting outside, please go quickly."
Zhu Jian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and opened the door.
"Who, who?"
An obviously panicked voice sounded. It was already dark, and the visibility in the room was even worse. Zhu Jianshen couldn't see anyone clearly, and could only hear the sound of things knocking over.
"It's me..." Zhu Jianshen said, "Don't move, I'll light the candle."
He had passed by here before, and relying on his memory and blurred vision, he walked to the window sill and lit a candle. A cluster of flames lit up, dispelling the darkness in the room.
At the same time, the face that had been blurry in my mind became clear again.
Miss Li's face was full of panic, but more of a surprise. Her mood swings were so intense that she even forgot to salute.
Zhu Jianshen didn't take it seriously and walked forward, "Don't be afraid, I know everything."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Miss Li grasped the corners of her clothes.
"Well, sit down." After Zhu Jianshen said that, he realized that there seemed to be no place to sit in the room. The tables and chairs were covered with account books, and there was only a small bed.
He walked to the bed and sat down, beckoning, "Come here."
"Yes." Miss Li moved her steps and stepped forward.
"sit."
"yes…"
Miss Li looked solemnly and felt uneasy.
Zhu Jianshen looked at her. It was almost the beginning of summer, and she was still wearing the clothes from last winter. They were washed so white that the original color was almost invisible.
With such an appearance, he couldn't help but feel pity.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Slave... I don't dare."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Jianshen was puzzled.
Miss Li hesitated and said, "I'm not sure."
"You are stupid..." Zhu Jianshen laughed, but he saw her lowering her head nervously, and her tone was a little softer, "Don't be cautious, you are pregnant with my flesh and blood, it is a great achievement."
As he spoke, his big hand touched her swollen belly.
Miss Li was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to dodge, her ears turned red.
"It's been half a year..." Zhu Jianshen sighed, sighing.
Although it was unintentional, it was a happy event after all. Zhu Jianshen was happy: "What do you want?"
"Slave..."
"There is no need to call yourself a slave anymore." Zhu Jianshen said.
"Yes, my concubine..." Miss Li said after considering it, "I want to move out, but, is that okay?"
"Haha..." Zhu Jianshen nodded amusedly: "Of course, it's necessary. I don't want my child to suffer, right?"
Miss Li hurriedly said, "What I mean is... I want to move out and live outside. Is that okay?"
"Of course..." Zhu Jian frowned deeply and said in surprise: "You want to move outside the palace?"
"Can, is it okay?"
"Why do you think so?"
"My concubine... I can't get used to living here." Miss Li didn't dare to speak ill of Concubine Wan Gui, so she made up a lame excuse and said cautiously: "The emperor keeps his word and will never break his promise, right?"
Zhu Jianshen said: "That's what outsiders said. The emperor still has time to withdraw his life."
After a pause, "I will confer you a title and reward you with a big house. In addition, you can also make a condition. As long as it is not too excessive, I will accept it."
Zhu Jianshen smiled warmly and said, "Don't miss this opportunity. Let's talk about it while I'm in a good mood!"
Miss Li has no pursuits. She just wants to live a peaceful life, away from the intrigues of the harem.
She bravely said: "Your Majesty, I am an unlucky person, and my family background is not elegant..."
Suddenly thinking of today's events, she hurriedly added: "Today I heard my father-in-law accidentally say that the emperor wants to quell the rebellion of the chieftain, and my concubine... is also a chieftain."
After what she said, Zhu Jianshen also felt that if it were announced at this time, civil servants might use this as an excuse to prevent him from sending troops.
"You are very clever," Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Indeed, if the announcement is made at this juncture, they will definitely do it in the name of a family..."
"Let's do this. I will arrange a place for you first, and then make it public to the public after this battle is over."
Miss Li was so happy that she almost cried when she got what she wanted. Who knows how she got here these days;
While he was dazed, a hand was put on his shoulder and he drew it back.
Miss Li was startled, then she fell to him obediently, resting her head on his shoulder, her heart pounding...
Do you like it?
Not really!
The two of them had no feelings at all. That unexpected encounter was, to put it harshly, just an expression of deep feelings.
And she... just half-pushed and half-submitted.
However, at this moment, she also felt strange emotions. She couldn't tell what she felt, but it was always a positive emotion.
Perhaps, this is just the sense of belonging that women feel towards men in the feudal era...
She didn't understand, she thought it was happiness.
For her, this is happiness.
Zhu Jianshen didn't leave or do anything. On a small bed, two unfamiliar people chatted for half the night.
He talks more and she talks less, but the one who talks more is just out of guilt; but the one who talks less feels a sense of joy and happiness.
Or maybe, this night, this great emperor is just her husband...
After a night, it returned to normal.
Zhu Jianshen arranged for Miss Li to live in a place called Nei'an Le Hall along the road between the sheep houses outside the palace.
Huaien took charge of the matter, and all the people who served Miss Li were his confidants, so that no one inside or outside the palace knew that another child of the emperor was about to be born.
After Zhu Jianshen finished handling Miss Li's matter, he focused all his energy on solving the toast problem;
Miss Li moved into Nei'an Le Hall and lived a stable life. She was not wealthy but very well-off...
Just like that, a few months later;
In early July of the sixth year of Chenghua, Miss Li gave birth to a son safely.
After Zhu Jianshen learned about it, he went out of the palace to visit once, and then focused on government affairs again.
To him, this was just an illegitimate son, especially since he already had a son, and this illegitimate son was born to a chieftain woman, so he didn't care much about this son.
For most emperors, there are only two types of sons, one is the prince who is to be groomed as a successor, and the other is other sons.
Although the crown prince has not yet been enthroned, Zhu Jianshen already has someone to train him, so he will not be distracted anymore.
Moreover, before cultivating a prince, there is a more important thing to consolidate the imperial power.
Relatively speaking, this illegitimate child is so insignificant that the child doesn't even have a name.
However, the child does not feel wronged because he does not understand anything, and his mother, Miss Li, does not feel wronged either. She is very satisfied with this kind of life.
Looking at her son's baby-fat little face, she was filled with happiness...

After a year, not only did the small Taoist temple become a large Taoist temple, but Li Qing also built a road up the mountain.
When he came, he brought a hundred taels of gold and more than 20,000 yuan in silver notes in his pocket. After the Taoist temple was repaired, there was still a lot left.
Li Qing sculpted the Master's body, hung the portrait, and then began to preach...
However, this missionary journey was not smooth.
It is true that Wudang Tao is too niche and people don’t accept it. You know, sects like Zhengyi and Quanzhen don’t have many disciples.
The nearby people who helped build the Taoist temple couldn't bear it and occasionally went up the mountain to fill the crowds.
They suggested that it would be much better to worship the Jade Emperor, but Li Qing did not believe in evil, so he respected Zhang Sloppy as his ancestor.
Facts have proved...it really doesn't work! ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
It is true that the name of Immortal Zhang Sloppy is still very loud, but people of this level, such as Jade Emperor and Zhenwu Emperor, are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are preconceived.
The little old man was not important when he was alive, but after he passed away, he was not important enough.
Li Qing reluctantly discovered that this was also a general trend, so he followed the trend and changed Wudang Taoism into Wudang Sect, and also enshrined Emperor Zhenwu in the Taoist temple.
Of course, the main Taoist temple still has Zhang’s dirty body.
After making the change, Li Qing used the name of Emperor Zhenwu's blessing during Taizong's calamity to spend money to hire people to advertise.
If you do it this way, it will be much better.
After all... the Wudang Sect in Wudang Mountain is already quite large, and Li Qing's widespread publicity has attracted some followers.
Li Qing proclaimed himself Wudang Senior Brother and taught on his behalf...
So, a year passed.
There are already a hundred juniors, and there are even second-generation disciples who have made a name for themselves in the neighborhood.
Li Qing selected a few people with trustworthy character, left a sum of money and asked them to be responsible for running the Taoist temple. He kowtowed in front of his master's grave and then went down the mountain.
Now that he has money and leisure, he wants to fulfill his master's long-cherished wish and make Wudang famous all over the world!
…

Wudang Mountain.
Li Qing looked at the majestic buildings and couldn't help but sigh: It has to be official, the court is so good at talking.
The Wudang Sect here is much stronger than his Taoist temple.
"However, the founder must not make a mistake." Li Qing muttered. He accepted Zhu Di's affection, but he did not want to cause the Wudang Sect to lose its founder.
The founder must be his master, Zhang Slutty!
Neither can Emperor Zhenwu!
Li Qingshan Mountain...
The Taoist temple is very impressive. It has formed a complex of buildings, and there are senior brothers, second-generation senior brothers, and third-generation senior brothers. There are hundreds of people in the congregation.
"Your Excellency, are you here because you want to join my Wudang?" A energetic man in his early forties walked forward and asked.
Li Qing shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's our Wudang."
"Oh? Haha..." The man laughed heartily, "No problem, little junior brother, come with me."
"I am senior brother!" Li Qing said: I am the orthodox one, okay?
The man's smile stopped suddenly, and there was anger in his eyes: "What, you want to ruin the place?"
Li Qing shook his head: "I am the only true disciple of Immortal Zhang Slutty, so I am the senior brother!"
"You?" the man smiled, "You are a young boy who dares to call you senior brother. The founder of the dragon has never seen the end of it. Do you think so?"
Li Qing's expression softened a lot when he heard the word "ancestor" and said, "Where is your master? I want to see him!"
Unexpectedly, this man was sure that he was here to cause trouble, or to deceive others, so he waved his hand and said:
"You can see the leader whenever you want. Leave quickly. We don't welcome people like you."
"I'm really..."
"You really want to ruin the place, right?" The man's face was gloomy and he rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, come on, let's try it!"
Li Qing: "..."
