Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 27 Quietly coming to your door!

In the capital city, the long-lost sun finally broke through the thick clouds, and golden light sprinkled on the earth.

The sky turned blue, and a few lazy white clouds slowly floated in the air, as if throwing a warm embrace to the cold world.

The snow on the ground began to melt slowly, the cold and gloom of winter were dispelled by the sunshine, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were filled with new vitality.

"Your Majesty, the taxes of all the southeastern provinces have been fully investigated." Wang Chengen placed piles of case files on the table.

"Let the ICAC investigate again and report the results to me."

Whoever should do the job should do it. The emperor always looks at the results instead of doing everything himself.

So no matter how urgent the matter is, he rarely intervenes, of course necessary spot checks will still occur.

Zhu Changgan waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the picture of the Jade Girl that Chen Yuanyuan had embroidered earlier, "What a pity, it's still the early stages of pregnancy, otherwise... I could have given it to Concubine Liu."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Since Chen Yuanyuan became pregnant, she also moved to Chuxiu Palace. Now only Concubine Liu lives there, and it would not be good to not love her for too long.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as he entered Chenghua Palace, he saw Concubine Liu waiting there in a coquettish manner. She lowered her eyes shyly, a blush appeared on her rosy cheeks, and she had a strange and charming aura.

Wang Chengen waved to the other people in the room, and they all quickly left.

"Have you adapted to the situation after Concubine Chen left?"

"Your Majesty, get used to it!" She panted softly, seeming a little excited.

Concubine Liu bit her lip lightly, trying to control her actions to avoid causing misunderstandings among the emperors.

But even so, she couldn't suppress the throbbing in her heart, and the marks on her lips showed that she couldn't wait for the next step.

Zhu Changgan patted Liu Xuanshi lightly, and a visible ripple spread through her body.

A blush instantly spread over the body, and there was a sweet smell of flesh, emitting a scent.

Some things, once started, are like jumping off a cliff, and there is no stopping them...

……

After a stick of incense, Wang Chengen and the palace maids came in to help the emperor change his clothes.

Concubine Liu's face turned red with shame. She covered her face with a quilt, occasionally revealing her eyes to look at the emperor, and then covering her face again when the emperor was not looking over.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Armory that the steam engine has been successfully developed."

After putting on his clothes, Wang Chengen spoke.

"Oh?" Zhu Changgan stood up and said, "Let's go to the Military Affairs Department!"

He turned around and glanced at Concubine Liu, "Wang Chengen, add more charcoal to Concubine Liu. This room is a bit cold."

Wang Chengen knelt down immediately, "Your Majesty, I deserve death!"

He naturally understood what the emperor meant. He was well aware of the intricacies of the palace. Regardless of whether someone was trying to make things difficult for Concubine Liu or not, since the emperor had spoken, Wang Chengen naturally knew what to do.

Zhu Changgan came out of Chenghua Hall and breathed a sigh of relief, "Where there are people, there is the martial arts world."

This is the case in the court, and it is also the case in the Ming Dynasty's harem. He can help once, twice, but... in the end, she still has to understand some things herself.

"When will Li Banghua and his team arrive in Beijing?"

"Your Majesty, we are expected to start returning on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and arrive in Beijing before the Spring Festival."

"There is no shortage of money in the national treasury now, and the pensions and benefits for those returning to the capital have been arranged... In addition, the Prince of Xiang will also stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year this year."

"Uh..." Wang Chengen was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

Some people couldn't understand why the emperor cared so much about Prince Xiang. He would visit him and chat with him every now and then. Now he has been in Kyoto for a month, and not only did he not let him go back, but he also wanted him to stay for the New Year.

In this situation...he was really confused.

……

"My son has won another battle." In a mansion not far from the imperial palace, Prince Xiang Zhu Yiming couldn't help laughing as he read the news reported in the "Daming Daily".

"Look, look..."

Prince Xiang took the newspaper in his hand and showed it to the servants in the yard one by one.

The corners of my mouth were twisted into a grin and I couldn't suppress it.

After walking around for a long time, he finally returned to the house and started drinking. After a few sips, he couldn't help but feel worried, "When will my son come back?"

In Kyoto, the emperor treated him very well, but the more so, the more uneasy he felt.

In the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, no emperor had ever treated other princes so well. Even my father, who was cooked and brought to the capital, was treated just like this. I am already the seventh generation of the Xiang Prince. There is really no reason for the emperor to value me so much. Is your majesty going to take me as a hostage? So that you can control my son?
or...

In his eyes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Prince Xiang Zhu Yiming couldn't sleep all night, so much so that his eyes were dark, like a panda.

Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard a voice from outside: "Eunuch Wang from the Imperial Household Department has arrived."

He fell off the chair suddenly, but quickly got up and ran out of the house, "Eunuch Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Chengen quickly supported Zhu Yiming and said, "Prince Xiang, His Majesty asked me to come and see you. The weather is cold, so he asked me to bring you some charcoal."

At his command, young eunuchs came in from outside carrying baskets of charcoal from the cart.

"The charcoal from last time hasn't burned out yet, father-in-law, you..." Zhu Yiming's face changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Your Highness Prince Xiang, there is no need to save money. His Majesty said that no matter who is frozen, you must not be frozen!" Wang Chengen said as he called the young eunuchs to hurry up.

"Prince Xiang, if you need anything, just tell me. I'll be there whenever you call." Wang Chengen bowed to Zhu Yiming and said, "Your good days are coming."

But when Zhu Yiming heard these words, they had a different meaning.

It's over... It's over. Your Majesty is going to take action against my lineage of Prince Xiang? !
……

Liaodong, Shengjing.

Chongzhen came out of the yamen. It was getting dark. He wrapped himself in clothes and walked towards the palace.

The moon was rising, and the last rays of light were scattered over the ground.

From a distance, he saw a petite figure falling into the mottled red light.

The afterglow fell on Hongniangzi's face, giving off a strange feeling of tranquility and beauty.

Chongzhen walked up to her and then walked over. He walked in front and Hongniang followed behind.

The other party didn't say anything, but just by seeing him, Chongzhen, who had been busy all day, relaxed.

After a long while, Lady Hong finally asked, "I heard that Commander Li will be returning to Beijing in a few days?"

"Yes, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"how about you?"

"I will follow you back, of course."

Red Lady bit her lips, turned around and looked at the man in front of her. She clenched her fingers and said, "I want to take you back to my hometown."

"what?"

Lady Hong lowered her head and said, "Go back to Henan and visit Master's grave. Also... although there may be some people in your hometown, take you back and let them see you."

"Although they sold me, I still remember where my hometown is. When I left that small mountain valley, my family was still there. At that time, we couldn't afford to eat. In recent years of famine and war, I don't know if I can find them, but as a daughter, I still have to go back to take a look."

"My master passed away these years ago, and I have so many fellow disciples. In addition, there are too many things in the village. I have always wanted to go back, but I can't. I originally wanted to wait until the world is united, but now..."

"..."

Hongniang talked to herself, pouring out all the thoughts that had been in her heart over the years.

After she finished speaking, her face turned red like a persimmon and she raised her head, "You...you are..."

"Okay, I'll go back with you!"

“…” Lady Hong looked at him, her eyes suddenly reddened.

She lowered her head and trotted past Chongzhen.

Ran!

Chongzhen was left with a look of astonishment.

……

Hongniang herself couldn't explain why this happened.

She was a bandit, and the other party was a member of the royal family... She had actually just said this casually to the other party, and had never thought that the other party would agree, but who would have thought that the other party would agree directly.

This made her feel touched, frightened, and even a little ridiculous.

So I could only run away in a panic to avoid losing my composure in front of him!
Although the person ran away, a thought took root deep in her heart and quickly began to take root.

For several days, she couldn't help blushing whenever she saw the other person.

Finally, on the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Hongniang couldn't sleep, so she quietly got up and tiptoed to Zhu Changgan's door.

……

Thank you all for your votes! tks, happy weekend!
