Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 626 Hotel Adventure
The business of the Royal Hotel has always been booming. Now that everyone has money, even ordinary people will occasionally come to try something new.

But most rich people come to the Royal Hotel to eat, not entirely because the food and drinks in the hotel are better than other places.

It's because there is a stunning beauty sitting upright in the hotel lobby, and she often plays a song for customers.

Sometimes there are even two stunning beauties here, one playing and the other singing softly.

These two are none other than Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan among the famous Qinhuai Eight Beauties.

Since they taught the concubines to dance and play in the palace, Zhu Youjian has promised to give them freedom.

But they were unwilling to leave, some were going to manage the Yichun Building, and some were staying at the Royal Hotel.

The entire Wu family was ransacked and beheaded, leaving only the innocent Chen Yuanyuan (Don't say that Wu Sangui became a concubine in anger, that's nonsense.)
Similar to Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, Qian Qianyi was also ransacked by Zhu Youjian.

As a patriotic martyr, Zhu Youjian certainly wouldn't embarrass her.

But she was unwilling to leave the Royal Hotel, which also contributed to the glory of the Royal Hotel.

Even if Zhu Youjian gave her freedom, she would have nowhere to go, she might as well stay in the Royal Hotel or Yichun Building.

Originally, only Liu Rushi was in the hotel, but now Chen Yuanyuan often comes here to cheer everyone up.

The private rooms in the hotel have been booked long ago, and the lobby is also full.

Liu Rushi was sitting behind the counter in the hotel lobby, with a charming smile on her pretty face.

Suddenly seeing three beautiful girls and a handsome guy walking into the hotel, the guests in the lobby and Liu Rushi were immediately attracted by them.

When she saw that the three princesses had recovered her daughter, Liu Rushi hurriedly stood up to greet her.

In front of Princess Kunxing, Liu Rushi greeted her with a blessing:
"Welcome four distinguished guests, the little girl is very polite."

Regardless of whether the princess is disguised as a man or a daughter, Liu Rushi will not reveal their identities in the hotel.

Liu Rushi is 27 years old, but she still feels amazing to Zhu Cihong.

On the way here, Princess Kunxing had already mentioned about Liu Rushi, and Zhu Cihong knew her name.

But he just glanced casually, nodded to Liu Rushi, and then looked away.

Princess Kunxing nodded:
"Old place, serve us the best food and wine in the hotel."

Before Princess Kunxing finished speaking, Liu Rushi's face turned pale.

Princess Kunxing could tell something was wrong at a glance, and asked lightly:
"what happened?"

Liu Rushi whispered in Princess Kunxing's ear:

"We didn't know that the princess would come today. Just now a prince forcibly reserved the princess's room."

Princess Kunxing's complexion suddenly sank:
"Oh, which prince, didn't you tell him that the room is for the exclusive use of this Palace?"

"It's all Liu Rushi's fault. He failed to withstand the pressure of the prince. Please punish the princess."

The two spoke in a very low voice, and it was difficult for others to hear clearly, but Zhu Cihong was standing beside Kun Xing, so he could hear clearly.

Worried that the royal sister's anger would cause onlookers, Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"It's okay, let's have dinner in the lobby!"

Liu Rushi looked at the young and handsome boy in front of her, and she nodded at Zhu Youjian:
"Thank you, but there is no place in the lobby, unless you share a table."

"Table sharing? This won't work..."

Before Kun Xing finished speaking, Zhu Cihong gently tugged on her dress:
"Sister, it doesn't matter, just eat in the lobby. We are human beings, and customers are also human beings. Don't complicate matters."

When Zhu Cihong was speaking, he looked at the customers dining in the lobby, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The lobby is full, but there is only one diner waiting for the food at the two tables.

One of them was Xia Wanchun, the head of industry and commerce of the Ming Customs, who was actually sitting in the lobby of the hotel.

On the other table sat a very beautiful girl, her temperament and appearance were no worse than Princess Kunxing and the others.

Xia Wanchun obviously also saw Zhu Cihong and others. In order not to cause a stir, Xia Wanchun just bowed his hands to Zhu Cihong and did not speak.

Zhu Cihong nodded to Xia Wanchun, and then said to Princess Kunxing:

"It doesn't matter, we go to eat at that table, and the child prodigy also eats in the hotel lobby."

Princess Kunxing, Princess Jianwen and Princess Ziwei followed Zhu Cihong's gaze, if they found Xia Wanchun sitting at a dining table alone.

"Okay! I can only wrong my brother."

Princess Kunxing changed her name and called the emperor's elder brother, and the four of them walked towards Xia Wanchun.

Because the three princesses are so beautiful, they instantly attracted many envious and jealous eyes.

Although Liu Rushi was very beautiful, she was much older than the three princesses after all, and the beauty of the three princesses was not suppressed by her beauty.

This is great, there are five beautiful fairies in the lobby, feasting the eyes of the customers who are eating.

Xia Wanchun didn't expect the prince and princess to come to his dining table, and hurriedly stood up and cupped their hands.

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, reached out and patted his shoulder:

"There is no room, how about we have dinner together?"

Xia Wanchun hurriedly said:

"Welcome, please sit down!"

"excuse me!"

Kun Xing said politely with a smile, and then the four of them sat down beside Xia Wanchun.

Xia Wanchun came to the Royal Hotel for dinner, and didn't think about coming to the private room.

It's not that he doesn't want to give out money, the main thing is that he likes to sit and eat in the lobby, so that he can hear a lot of things he doesn't know.

He didn't expect the prince and princess to come to the Royal Hotel and sit at his table.

Seeing the four people seated, Xia Wanchun smiled and said:

"You four are distinguished guests. The lobby is not suitable for you. Is there really no private room in the hotel?"

Jianwen twitched his lips:

"There is really no private room. Liu Rushi said that our room was forcibly occupied by someone. He is still a prince. My brother doesn't want to reveal his identity, so that's all we can do."

Xia Wanchun nodded:

"Oh, I know who it is. It seems to be the son of King Jingjiang. That's a prestige."

What Xia Wanchun said was correct, it was the son of King Jingjiang who occupied the private room of the princess, that is, the future King Jingjiang.

Speaking of King Jingjiang, let's briefly introduce the performance of King Jingjiang in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

In June of the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army occupied Nanjing and captured Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu who proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing.

In August, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian proclaimed himself emperor in Fuzhou, changed his Yuan to Longwu, announced that the first year of Hongguang was changed to the first year of Longwu, and the Chief Secretary of Fujian was changed to Fujing.

At the same time, Zhu Yihai, King of Lu, served as the supervisor of the country in Shaoxing, but before he became the supervisor of the country, Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang Dynasty, had already proclaimed himself emperor in Fuzhou.

When the Tang and Lu vassals were fighting for power in Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhu Hengjia, King of Jingjiang who was enfeoffed in Guilin, Guangxi, was unwilling to be lonely and dreamed of wearing a yellow robe.

King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty was a descendant of Taizu's nephew Zhu Wenzheng. He had the longest lineage among the clan kings. According to the concept of patriarchal clan, he was not qualified to inherit the lineage at all.

However, since Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself and fell to the north, many people in the clan of the Zhu Ming Dynasty tried to take advantage of the chaos to seek high positions, and Zhu Hengjia was one of them.

And the prince occupying the princess's room today is Zhu Yi, the son of Zhu Hengjia.
