Seeing the heavy palace door slowly closing, and no one else in the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously panicked.
"Then don't leave. Let's chat with you for a while..." His voice sounded weak, and he was about to sit down again.
"Who told you to sit down?" Zhu Yuanzhang's ears were grabbed before his buttocks even touched the seat. He couldn't sit or stand at that moment.
"It hurts, it hurts." He put his hand on his ear and said with a sharp look:
"Let us go. We are the emperor now. You can't fight whenever you want like before, otherwise..."
"What else?" Queen Ma twisted his ears and asked coldly.
"Otherwise, wouldn't he be the emperor for nothing?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said weakly: "Give me some face, sister."
"If I hadn't given you face, I wouldn't have been able to bear it in front of the children just now!" Queen Ma said with more force:
"Hey Zhu Chongba, how did you become like this? I have only been away for a few days, and you show your true colors?!"
"What's wrong with me? Oh, oh, oh..." Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his head in accordance with Queen Ma's posture to relieve the pain in his ears.
"We haven't taken care of the harem, so is it normal for something to go wrong?"
"Is there something wrong? Because of a trivial matter, you put your concubine sister who has been with you for more than ten years into the cold palace." Queen Ma scolded while twisting:
"What if she dies inside? Lao Liu still hates you for the rest of his life? Why are you so cruel?"
"Are we just trying to scare her and let her out in a blink of an eye?" Zhu Yuanzhang said pitifully. He thought he would let her ride...
"Are you trying to scare her? You don't know how to read, and I've heard the gentlemen read so many books to you. Don't you know that the cold palace means the same thing to the women in our harem as the cemetery? In other words, sister Chongfei has a lot of spirit. If it were changed
I will die for you!!"
"We really didn't think about it that much. We were wrong. We also apologized to Concubine Chong, so you can calm down." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I won't be an example next time. I won't be an example next time.
"Calm down?" He didn't say calm down, but Queen Ma still wasn't angry.
After hearing these two words, she gritted her teeth and became even more angry. She raised her finger and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Zhu Chongba, when you raised your sword to chop the prince at the court meeting, why didn't you know how to calm down?"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could even bother to rub his ears, he saw Queen Ma pull out the feather duster inserted in the duster bottle with her backhand, and then whip it towards his back.
"Even if you don't care about family ties, don't forget that he is still the crown prince of a country! None of the dim-witted tyrants in the past dynasties pursued and chopped down their own princes with swords in front of all the civil and military officials!"
"What do you want the ministers to think? What do you want the prince to think? What if the boss, with his honest and thoughtful nature, gets into trouble?"
"Didn't we give in later? Besides, who doesn't know that the prince is our lifeblood? He just wants to be the emperor, and we will make way for him with a smile. No one will think nonsense. No way."<
/p>
Poor Boss Zhu dodged while explaining: "In that situation, we were so angry with the boss that we didn't count..."
"Who is angry with whom? Is what the boss said wrong? His mother is still alive, so you want him to wear filial piety? Do you want him to be filial or unfilial?" Empress Ma was so angry that she was shaking all over, and the feather duster kept falling and said: "Also, you are right to find a filial son to give Concubine Sun the banners, but whoever you choose cannot be the fifth child! Back then, you lost your temper and refused to let him give the banners to his mother! Now you ask him to give the banners to his aunt.
Banner, how uncomfortable that child must feel! You are such an old bastard!"
"It's true, at that time we were just too busy to worry about it, so we didn't think much about it." Zhu Yuanzhang was so embarrassed by Empress Ma's scolding that he didn't even hide, and let Empress Ma's feather duster fall on him.
"Oh, sister, why do you think we are so messy?" The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, and said with tears in his eyes: "You have only been away for a few months? We have already caused chaos in the house, we are really
Hun is home!"
As he spoke, he raised his arms and gave himself two hard slaps. These two slaps were harder than Queen Ma's slaps put together, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay!" Empress Ma felt distressed now, and quickly threw away the feather duster, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. She said in a slower tone:
"You don't have such a bad temper anymore. Now that you've become the emperor, you have more things to worry about, and your temper is even worse."
"But Chongba, you still have to cultivate your moral character and control your anger. Not only for your own family, but also for those civil and military personnel. You must always remember that you are no longer the big-headed soldier who fed one person and kept the whole family hungry.
You are now an emperor with golden mouth and jade teeth, who obeys your words."
"You can kill someone with just a casual word; if you act impulsively, you can destroy a whole family. The consequences are too serious!" Queen Ma held his head and sighed:
"And you can't regret it, because you can't change your order overnight, you can only make mistakes... So be careful, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, let's remember it and change it later." Boss Zhu, who showed off his power all day long and looked like the king of beasts, was as peaceful as a big cat in Queen Ma's arms.
"Sister, you have to remind us all the time, don't get angry easily, otherwise we will be served by feather dusters. We won't be calm anymore..."
"Virtue." Empress Ma nodded his head and finally said with a smile: "It makes me look like a tigress. It's not too shameful. I'm too lazy to care about you. Just don't do whatever you want.
”
"Anyway, now that you're back, we'll have peace of mind." Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were relaxed and his tone was lazy. He actually sounded a bit coquettish...
~~
After being cozy with his wife for a while, he sat down again.
Queen Ma brought him water to wash his face, untied his messy bun, and combed his hair again.
While enjoying his wife's service, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "By the way, sister, how is the situation on the road? Are our people's lives better?"
"What do you think I can see? Who would let the Queen see things she shouldn't see?" Empress Ma smiled lightly and said: "I have read a lot of superficial articles about Hua Tuan Jin Xiu, but I guess your ears can hear the cocoon.
”
"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang put a hot cotton towel on his face and said in a vague voice: "We feel that since we became emperor, we have become more and more deaf and blind."
"Oh, I shouldn't have listened to Liu Ji and scrapped the school inspection." He regretted: "There was a problem when the official system was set up. Now we have to rely on Zhongshu to know anything or see anything.
Province. We can see what Zhongshu Province wants us to see. We can’t hear anything if Zhongshu Province doesn’t want us to hear it.”
"Damn it, it's so shameful for the emperor to take this responsibility..." Boss Zhu was so angry that he took off his turban and threw it on the table.
"Why, do you have a problem with Mr. Liu again?" Empress Ma frowned slightly.
"No." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It was other people's affairs that reminded him of him."
"Oh..." Queen Ma originally wanted to say, you have already felt sorry for Mr. Liu, but you can't torment him anymore.
But she lectured too much today, and she had to stop it in moderation to save some face for the emperor, so she held back and said nothing.
