Chapter 6: Schedule
With a cup of hot tea and a warm fur, Zhu Yinglong immediately felt the affection of the beauty behind him. He married three princesses in an instant. Except for the innocent Ye Lianyi, Zhou Yingning and Tian Shuying had already planted deep love for him. Zhu Yinglong gave them unprecedented respect and love, as well as the freedom that women in this time and space are rare. In this society where men are superior to women, this respect and love have made them find happiness, especially Zhu Yinglong is assured to let them do what they like. This is how few men in this time and space can do it, allowing them to feel the gentleness of men and the domineering in gentleness.
Zhu Yinglong looked up gently and saw that the person behind him was his concubine Zhou Yingning. He looked at him with a sweet smile on his delicate and rosy little face. Zhu Yinglong turned around and quietly held the beauty's cold little hand, and said pity: "Ning'er, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Why are you here for something?"
Zhou Yingning smiled shyly and the girl's shyness made Zhu Yinglong intoxicated for a moment. He only heard the beauty whisper in her ear: "Your Majesty, haven't you sleep?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhu Yinglong asked softly, pulling the beauty down to her side and staring at the other party affectionately.
"Yeah." Zhou Yingning's beautiful little face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and responded subconsciously.
"What's the matter? Ning'er is going to come to find me so late?" Zhu Yinglong felt something was wrong with Zhou Yingning's situation tonight, so he asked in surprise.
"Does the prince dislike me, Shuying and the two sisters Lianyi?" Zhou Yingning mustered up the courage to raise her head, and her phoenix eyes were straight at Zhu Yinglong's eyes, and asked seriously without blinking.
"How could that be? Ning'er, why do you think so?" Zhu Yinglong asked in surprise, asking himself that he was very nice to the three girls and never said anything disliked!
"Why has the prince never shared the same bed with our sisters since the day of marriage?" Zhou Yingning said in the end, no sound could be heard. Indeed, such a shameful question was embarrassing.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly realized, patted himself in the head, beat and scolded him for being damned. He only cared about his own thoughts, but forgot the feelings of the three women. Beating and scolding him in his heart was really damned. He should have explained it to them long ago, so he apologized: "Ning'er, it's not that I don't want to sleep with you, but that I and Ning'er are both young and should not involve men and women too early to hurt their body and mind, which is not worth the loss. Sorry, I didn't consider your feelings!"
As soon as the apology was released, Zhou Yingning's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head and said like a mosquito: "Prince, I understand."
Seeing that she was shy and arrogant under the candlelight, her mouth was red with a sakura and a thin willow waist, and she was so charming that she couldn't say that she could touch Zhou Yingning's little hand, she pulled it to her, sat on her thighs, and blurted out: "Ning'er, don't worry, sooner or later you will become the real wife of my king."
Zhou Yingning was immediately shy. Although she had become accustomed to hugging her, it was the first time she heard Zhu Yinglong say such a bold statement. The stimulation of the words and physiological reactions made Zhou Yingning feel that her whole body was soft and her cheeks were hot. She snuggled in Zhu Yinglong's arms without any strength to get up.
Zhu Yinglong did not move further. He was afraid that he could not control himself. Although he was only about fifteen years old, he was already twenty-five years old psychologically. He was still virgin on both sides, and was in his arms. He was not Liu Xiahui. His self-control ability was already quite weak.
Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Ning'er, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
Zhou Yingning said in a voice that only Zhu Yinglong could hear: "It is rumored that the prince likes..."
"What do you like? Could it be that I like the male style?" Zhu Yinglong opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief.
"Yeah." Zhou Yingning twisted gently in Zhu Yinglong's arms, buried her face deeply in Zhu Yinglong's arms and whispered, it turned out that she felt so comfortable in the arms of the person she liked.
"What are they saying, Ning'er, you tell me?" Zhu Yinglong's head was stunned, and his face suddenly became cloudy.
"Prince, I'm also hearing something randomly. Maybe it's a rumor, and I can't make it true? And I know it..." Zhou Yingning regretted telling the matter when he saw the anger on Zhu Yinglong's face, and hurriedly remedy it. But at the end she couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yinglong's ears and face. She said this to admit that she fell in love with Zhu Yinglong, but I don't know if Zhu Yinglong has her in her heart. Although she is now being held by others and is very close, women are just a kind of emotional animal. It must be safe for men to say it in person. It's the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad!
"Rumor, Ning'er, do you know how terrible the effect of spreading rumors is? If you cannot stop it in time, everyone in the world may know that I am good at Long Yang!" Zhu Yinglong felt a headache. He had not yet gotten rid of the dementia problem, and he had another habit of squirting his sleeves. He had a constant misfortune, so why was he so unlucky!
As a result, Zhu Yinglong couldn't sleep anymore. He got up and sent Zhou Yingning back to his room to rest. He sent Xu Yingyuan to call Xiong Zhaolian. Such an important thing had spread to his wife's ears. The shadow didn't make Zhu Yinglong very angry.
"Brother Xiong, have you been talking about me outside recently?" Zhu Yinglong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked calmly at Xiong Zhaolian who was rushing over.
Xiong Zhaolian felt a little sad. It would be no small matter to come to him so late. He said nervously: "Your Majesty, you just used to be nothing special."
"Oh, is that?" Zhu Yinglong deliberately stretched his voice and his face suddenly sank.
"Prince, my subordinates have been busy forming Shadows recently and have not heard any comments about the Prince." Xiong Zhaolian thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything, and answered truthfully.
Zhu Yinglong also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Xiong Zhaolian's confused look on his face, he probably didn't know. He thought to himself that he was too anxious. How could Shadow Chujian be able to be comprehensive all at once and not so angry? His tone also eased and said: "Since that's the case, please check it out quickly for me. Recently, there seems to be rumors that are unfavorable to me."
"I understand." Xiong Zhaolian felt quite frightened. Calling herself here so late would definitely not be simple. I don't know which guy who was not open to his eyes was going to be unlucky.
Seeing that Xiong Zhaolian had not left yet, Zhu Yinglong said, "Brother Xiong, I have nothing else to do, you go and rest."
"Yes, Prince." After Xiong Zhaolian returned to Zhu Yinglong's subordinates, he followed the superiors and inferiors very much, and he was very concerned about his work. Zhu Yinglong wanted to correct it several times, but it was useless, so he just let it go.
"Cheng'en, you can check it in the mansion, and the rumors may have been spread from the mansion." Zhu Yinglong ordered Wang Cheng'en, who was still with him, to say that Cui Chengxiu was looking for the servants he was looking for. The maid was the most suspicious because they had the opportunity to get in touch with their lives. The rumors should have been spread from them.
"I just know, Prince, it's so late and it's so cold. You'd better take a break early. It's not good to have your body frozen." Wang Chengen said with great concern.
Although the eunuch is not very likable, especially Zhu Yinglong, who has been resurrected from later generations, Wang Chengen is indeed a caring and capable person. He knows what he should do and what he should not do. In later generations, he is called the right position in his position. Although he has physiological defects, he is still normal and has no abnormal manifestations, so Zhu Yinglong also trusts him very much.
"Okay, I'm a little tired of visiting the garden today. You can go down and rest. I don't need your service here." Zhu Yinglong stretched out his hand and waved Wang Chengen and said.
"I'm going to leave!" Wang Chengen said respectfully and left Zhu Yinglong's study.
Zhu Yinglong, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. In the current Ming Dynasty, the government was corrupt, corruption became a trend, and the people in various places were in full swing, and the economy was on the verge of collapse. The eunuchs fought in the middle of the country, and the mountains and rivers were broken, and a mess was waiting for him to clean up. Although he had a few hundred years of understanding, he did not fully understand the world after all. History was written by people, seven points were real, two points were fabricated, and one point was personal feelings. Therefore, the history he knew could only be learned from and could not be completely believed.
The key is that there are not enough people. The generation gap between him and Xiong Tingbi and others is more than one generation. It is probably difficult to unify their thoughts and understandings to the same height as themselves. Moreover, some of the inherent things in this era, including the dispute between Confucianism and Legalism, etc., although the ancients were smart, most of them were very dead, especially literati and military generals. As they thought, a new national system that was born from the separation of three provinces and six ministries and three powers appeared in Zhu Yinglong's mind, but it was very vague. However, when it comes to governing the country, whether in this time or another time and space, he was an outsider. Mao said it well, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and this truth works no matter what time and space.
Recalling today when visiting the garden, Cui Chengxiu suddenly mentioned his birthday. Zhu Yinglong immediately couldn't sleep. This was a good opportunity to make money. Zhu Yinglong wanted to build the Yinglong Villa in one day, but how much does it cost to build the Yinglong Villa? A discerning person could tell at a glance that he, a vassal king who had only been established for half a year, could not have so much money. Even if his father-in-law supported him, he would not take out all his belongings for him. As long as Cui Chengxiu was in Kaifeng for one day, he would not be able to build the Yinglong Villa on a large scale, and he would give him a birthday.
It is a good opportunity to make money. The prince celebrates his birthday. Officials in a place near Kaifeng are not flattering and respectful. With this, if you have money, building the Shinlong Villa will not make the eunuchsmen suspicious. But why did Cui Chengxiu remind himself? Could it be that the eunuchsmen intend to help him? This is unlikely. Their attempt is probably to leave themselves in Kaifeng. Hehe, although the plan is wonderful, Zhu Youjian is no longer the original Zhu Youjian. Don’t want the money of these corrupt officials for nothing, and they also have to speak loudly. If the money is insufficient, they will not let them enter the palace.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Zhu Yinglong was excited to pull out Shi Kefa, who was still dreaming of Kong Lao Er, and told him about his plan to make money by taking advantage of the opportunity to make a birthday.
Since Shi Kefa followed Zhu Yinglong, he has almost completely deviated from the way of a saint and has done mostly deviant things. Zhu Yinglong lamented his great influence. When Shi Kefa heard this plan, he not only did not object, but instead agreed with him. Zhu Yinglong secretly thanked Zuo Guangdou did not teach Shi Kefa a stubborn person, and at the same time felt complacent about his influence.
When Shi Kefa actually proposed to secretly divide the banquet into a level. The gifts were heavy, so he went inside. Prince Xin invited him. The lighter the gifts were, and the closer Prince Xin was to the seat, and then the secret business was to go to Prince Xin. Although Prince Xin had no real power, he was the younger brother of the current emperor. Naturally, someone wanted to squeeze his head and make friends with him. Shi Kefa is now a real unscrupulous businessman. Zhu Yinglong was completely speechless. It turned out that Shi Kefa really had the potential to be a prodigal businessman, so he made a fortune by doing his birthday.
All the matter was handed over to Shi Kefa, and Zhu Yinglong also understood why Shi Kefa was so active. First, the money for these corrupt officials should not be used for nothing. Second, the money was used for himself in name only to build the Yinglong Villa, but in fact it was used for the country and the people. Shi Kefa naturally did not dislike this. Of course, Shi Kefa was willing to do such things. Corrupt officials were cunning, and honest officials were cunning. This was instilled by Zhu Yinglong to Shi Kefa. He not only remembered it firmly, but was also practicing it and gradually matured.
