Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 188 Emperor Wanli drank wine like crazy! Reading with Donggong is not easy!
Facts have proved that Zhang Chonghui's guess was not wrong. Emperor Wanli seemed to really want to see Zhang Yunxiu.

As soon as the genius was revealed, there were eunuchs in the palace who rushed to announce that Zhang Yunxiu and his wife had entered the palace and thank the Lord in person for his grace.

While surprised at how Zhang Chonghui's calculations were so accurate, Zhang Yunxiu, who was still hungover, could only bite the bullet and enter the palace to thank his newlywed wife, who was staring at him like a nymphomaniac.

On the other side, Zhang Chonghui, who had just finished drinking the wedding wine last night, arrived early in the morning outside the Prince's East Palace, outside Ciqing Palace.

Perhaps he came too early, the prince hadn't gotten up yet, so the gate of Ciqing Palace hadn't been opened yet.

Zhang Chonghui was not in a hurry. With nothing to do, he walked around Ciqing Palace again, seeming to be observing something.

The last time he walked around Ciqing Palace, Zhang Chonghui had already discovered that Ciqing Palace seemed extremely 'unsafe' both inside and outside.

The door panels of the majestic Prince's East Palace were in disrepair for a long time, and the locks were just broken. In some places, the walls had even begun to crack.

In addition, the guards at Ciqing Palace seemed to be useless. Zhang Chonghui was almost certain that if he climbed over the wall and entered, no one would find anything wrong.

He originally wanted to climb over the wall and go in to take a look first, but after thinking about it, Zhang Chonghui returned to the gate first and waited for the gate to 'actively' open!

Yang Chunyuan, as if he had not spoken in a few lifetimes, held Zhang Chonghui's neck and walked into Ciqing Palace, chatting non-stop.

Zhang Chonghui was so 'tangled' with Yang Chunyuan that he was even a little surprised. What was the purpose of this future prince-in-law being so 'naturally familiar'?
Could it be that... Emperor Wanli wanted to place his future son-in-law next to him to monitor him?

"What a coincidence! My birthday is also in May! I am the last day of May, what about you?"

However, the reality is extremely surprising!

Zhang Chonghui: "Yeah."

However, when Yang Chunyuan opened his mouth and started talking nonstop, his temperament seemed to be distorted.

If a beautiful young man with a gorgeous temperament stands there, not only will it be extremely pleasing to the eye, but it will also give people a sense of indifference, alienation and aloofness.

Zhang Yunxiu originally thought that the emperor would scold him for messing up the wedding banquet yesterday.

Zhang Chonghui: "..."

Yang Chunyuan seemed to have opened up a conversation, and asked again: "I remember that you and I are the same age, and we are both born in the Year of the Rabbit. When is your birthday?"

"Oh..." Zhang Chonghui was a little surprised at how quickly the other party's attitude changed, and at the same time he bowed and raised his hand in return.

Zhang Chonghui guessed that this person should be one of the prince's companions just like him.

At the same time, Xiyuan.

Chen Ju was also in a hurry and brought Zhang Yunxiu a small stool and other things needed for fishing.

"I'm in early May."

"Then you are older than me! I'm going to call you Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Chonghui had actually roughly guessed the identity of the other party. He originally thought that this young man with a mouth full of gunpowder was here to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, the other party bowed to him politely and began to introduce himself eloquently. road:
"My name is Yang Chunyuan, named Renfu. My father is Yang Ji, the deputy commander of the Army and Horses Division. My ancestor Yang Weicong once served as the imperial servant. He was the top scholar in the imperial examination in the Xinsi year of Zhengde. Like you, I am the crown prince's companion."

"Wu Lang, I think you don't look good." Zhu Yijun asked casually, "Did the person I chose for you not suit your liking?"

Seeing Zhang Chonghui's cold reaction, Yang Chunyuan added: "You are the princess's savior, so you can also be regarded as my savior."

"Um……"

Zhang Yunxiu met with Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun.

"Hey, wait a minute." The man quickly caught up with him, stopped Zhang Chonghui, and asked:
"Are you Zhang Chonghui, the criminal queen who saved Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Goro, come here quickly."

"Well, I am." After Zhang Chonghui answered, he asked again: "I wonder if you are...?"

……

"May."

Facts have proved that Yang Chunyuan does not seem to have too many "polites". After introducing himself, he is obviously a young man with noble temperament, but the next moment he grabs Zhang Chonghui's neck without any image and shows off:
"Do you know who I am? If nothing else happens, I will be the future Prince Consort."

Zhu Yijun, who was fishing by the lake, greeted Zhang Yunxiu with a smile on his face, and then told Chen Ju:
"Chen Ju, I want Wu Lang to accompany me fishing."

Zhang Chonghui didn't know whether Yang Chunyuan was a spy sent by Emperor Wanli. He only knew that getting close to the prince would not be as easy as he thought!

"Brother Zhang, let me tell you..."

Zhang Chonghui: "Oh."

He didn't know what Yang Chunyuan was thinking, but after he finished "showing off" inexplicably and saw that Zhang Chonghui had no intention of avoiding any disgust, a happy smile actually appeared on his face, and he said again:
"I felt like I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. From now on, don't worry, anyone who dares to bully you in the East Palace is bullying me!"

Even the eunuch Chen Ju believed that His Majesty the Emperor, who was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night, would definitely scold Zhang Yunxiu.

At this time, Zhang Yunxiu was stunned, and Chen Ju was also stunned. Both of them were surprised by the inexplicable behavior of His Majesty the Emperor.

however……

Out of politeness, Zhang Chonghui nodded and smiled at the visitor and then looked no further. It happened that the door of Ciqing Palace had opened at this time, and he happened to go in.

While the man was asking questions, he looked at Zhang Chonghui up and down without any concealment, and his expression was indescribably weird.

Although I don’t quite understand why the emperor wanted to go fishing early in the morning, Zhang Yunxiu naturally didn’t dare to refuse the emperor’s invitation to go fishing.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yunxiu held the fishing rod in his hand as steady as a mountain and respectfully replied:

The person who came was about the same age as Zhang Chonghui, about 20 years old. He had a tall and straight figure, and an appearance that was rare among men. Looking at his luxurious clothes and proud temperament, he looked like he was a son of a noble family.

Wait, wait, someone is coming.

"The emperor has given me a marriage. How can I not agree with my wishes? I will only feel that my status is low and I am not worthy of such a good woman."

"Oh? So you are very satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Your Majesty, I am naturally extremely satisfied." Zhang Yunxiu replied.

"Then why did I hear that you had an unpleasant encounter with the bride's family at the wedding banquet yesterday?" Zhu Yijun said with unclear emotions:
"You know, people outside will talk about it, saying that I forced you to have this marriage of yours."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Zhang Yunxiu put down the fishing rod and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Zhu Yijun.

"Wu Lang, I know it's not your fault." Zhu Yijun said in a considerate way:

"I know that the bride's mother-in-law is too arrogant and domineering. Don't worry, I have already ordered people to go to the bride's home to warn her."

Zhang Yunxiu couldn't help but feel strange when he heard this. He couldn't understand what the emperor meant by first questioning and then comforting.

Is it just to scare him? Or do you want to express some hidden meaning through this?
Zhang Yunxiu was not the roundworm in Zhu Yijun's belly. He could not understand the meaning of Zhu Yijun's words.

At the same time, Zhang Yunxiu recalled that Zhang Chonghui once said that the emperor was a person with an awkward mind. If you can guess the mind of this kind of monarch, you can guess it. If you can't guess it, just don't guess it.

After all, it is better not to guess than to guess randomly.

Therefore, Zhang Yunxiu simply stopped guessing. After thanking the emperor, he picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing.

Fishing requires quietness, after all, fish can hear the sound of the water.

However, I don't know if Emperor Wanli was panicking after staying in Xiyuan for too long, or why, since Zhang Yunxiu came, he has been taking the initiative to find something to talk to.

Zhu Yijun was polite at first, and asked Zhang Yunxiu how he was doing this year, and then talked about some random topics.

At the end of the chat, Zhu Yijun even talked about what Zhang Yunxiu didn't want to talk about, about those old bad things from his childhood.

Zhang Yunxiu only felt that the emperor's mouth was really nagging. He even had to wonder whether the emperor asked him to accompany him to fish together or to chat with him.

"Wulang, do you remember Sun Hai?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't remember." "Have you forgotten? It's impossible. You stayed with me in the palace for less than half a month, and Sun Hai helped you arrange the food, clothing, housing and transportation for you."

"Your Majesty, I was still young at that time and I really don't remember many things."

"Well... then do you still remember the white jade bowl that I loved the most at that time? It was the white jade bowl that your father personally selected for me as a birthday gift."

"Back to Your Majesty...remember..."

"Remember, that bowl later broke. It was Sun Hai who accidentally smashed it."

"..."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a bowl. I have more bowls. If you break it, just replace it with another one."

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, so naturally."

"Wulang, I remember that you also like that bowl, right? Well, I have a lot of jade bowls of similar styles here. When you leave later, I will have someone pick some for you."

"My lord...thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

"Wu Lang, why do I see your face getting worse and worse?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I probably drank too much during my wedding last night, and I haven't gotten over it yet..."

"Is that so? Speaking of which, I didn't even drink your wedding wine, which is a pity. Let's make up for it today!"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he directly ordered the palace servants to bring up the wine, and he was going to fish and drink the wedding wine by the lake.

Zhang Yunxiu didn't know what the emperor meant. He just announced that he was here to fish early in the morning and chatted with some specious words. Now he actually wanted to 'make up for' his wedding wine?
What to drink in broad daylight?

Zhang Yunxiu immediately realized that something was wrong. He was sure that the emperor's purpose was not simple!
Facts have proved that Zhang Yunxiu's premonition was not wrong, because the emperor said he was "replenishing" the wedding wine, but in fact it was Zhu Yijun who unilaterally poured wine into Zhang Yunxiu!
"Your Majesty, I am too drunk. It would be bad if I lose my manners in front of the Emperor and disturb Your Majesty. I still don't..."

"Hey! I've seen you cry and have a runny nose when you were a child. How can I still care about you acting inappropriately before the emperor? Come on, drink!"

"Your Majesty...I'm afraid you won't be able to drink during the day..."

"You can drink it if I tell you to! Why, do you still want to disobey the order?"

"I dare not..."

……

Zhu Yijun just 'forced' Zhang Yunxiu to drink. It is worth mentioning that Zhu Yijun is not just sipping the other party, he is also drinking.

At the same time, Chen Ju on the side was completely stunned by the scene in front of him...

This was not the first time that Chen Ju saw His Majesty the Emperor pliing someone with wine. He remembered that the last time, the person His Majesty the Emperor had plied someone with wine was Li Rusong.

However, when His Majesty the Emperor gave Li Rusong wine, he mostly used the method of 'persuading him to drink', and Li Rusong drank willingly.

However, this time, His Majesty the Emperor used a 'forcing' method to pour wine into Zhang Yunxiu!

……

At the same time, Ciqing Palace.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the prince's lecturers had arrived and taught the prince his lessons.

As for the prince's accompaniment, Zhang Chonghui and others said they were "accompanying readers" to the prince, but the funny thing was that they couldn't even see the prince's face.

Perhaps they were afraid that the 'ignorant' companions would disturb the crown prince's concentration on his studies, so even though the companions and the prince were in the same hall, they were separated by long and thick screens.

These screens perfectly blocked the sight of the accompanying readers, but they could not block out the voices of the lecturers who were teaching the prince face to face.

To read with accompaniment, it is better to say that I am here to 'listen to the hall'. After all, the only person these Hanlin bachelors really teach is the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo.

It is worth mentioning that the accompanying reader is still useful. For example, if the crown prince makes a mistake, the lecturer will ask the accompanying reader to be punished on the prince's behalf.

After all, the prince is the future emperor, who dares to punish the emperor.

Hearing the voices of Hanlin scholars and the occasional incomprehensible questions from Crown Prince Zhu Changluo, Zhang Chonghui looked at the other companions beside him and saw that most of them were almost drowsy.

There were a few who listened attentively, and Yang Chunyuan was one of them.

Yang Chunyuan sat upright and his eyes were piercing. From time to time, he would take a pen to write something on the paper, looking quite serious.

Zhang Chonghui also sighed a little when he saw him. It's a pity that a child who works so hard can only be a consort in this life.

However, such a sigh was quickly shattered.

Because of his excellent eyesight, Zhang Chonghui discovered that what Yang Chunyuan carefully wrote down was not at all what the lecturers said...

……

The world flashed, and it was approaching noon. The prince also wanted to have lunch and take a lunch break.

At the end of the morning, Zhang Chonghui didn't even see the prince's face.

However, Zhang Chonghui saw the prince's lecturer Guo Zhengyu and his warning eyes.

At the same time, as soon as the drowsy companions heard that get out of class was over and lunch was over, they got up one after another and went to the side hall to have lunch in twos and threes.

Zhang Chonghui was just about to follow the crowd, but he was grabbed by Yang Chunyuan, who was also "alone"!

"Brother Zhang, there are still two hours before the afternoon classes, let's go out to a restaurant?" Yang Chunyuan invited enthusiastically.

Zhang Chonghui wanted to refuse Yang Chunyuan's invitation, but after a short period of thinking, he agreed.

"Okay." Zhang Chonghui smiled cheerfully and said, "It's your treat."

"Of course it's my treat!" Yang Chunyuan seemed very happy, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not. He added:
"I know it's hard for you as a live-in son-in-law. It's normal for you to have no money!"

Zhang Chonghui didn't know if Yang Chunyuan was deliberately mocking him, so he replied:
"Yes, the life of a visiting son-in-law is difficult. Unlike you who will be the royal son-in-law in the future, your life will definitely be much better than mine."

This is clearly sarcastic, and a normal person would feel uncomfortable hearing it.

However, Yang Chunyuan was not angry at all. Instead, he sighed slightly and said:

"Oh, they are both sons-in-law. There is no such thing as royal or royal. From now on, my life may not be better than yours... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go! Let's go to a restaurant!"

Seeing that Yang Chunyuan's behavior did not look like acting, Zhang Chonghui couldn't help but feel strange in his heart:

Is this young man just too good at pretending, or is it...

Could this person be short-sighted?

……

At the same time, Xiyuan.

Zhang Yunxiu's drinking capacity was not good to begin with. As he drank one glass after another, his mind became more and more chaotic out of control.

Zhang Yunxiu knew very well that the emperor's real intention of getting him drunk was to make excuses while he was drunk. However, what surprised him was that the emperor himself was drinking.

"Wulang, have you really forgotten Sun Hai?"

Zhu Yijun's questioning voice came to his ears.

Zhang Yunxiu felt dizzy and replied uncontrollably: "I haven't forgotten..."

"I knew you hadn't forgotten." Zhu Yijun smiled melancholy and with ill intentions, and said:
"Wuro, I want to ask you another question."
