Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 195
In Chuxiu Palace, Zhu Houzhao saw a familiar face.

However, he couldn't remember such a face for a while, and there was a feeling of deja vu.

At the same time, the woman who was taken care of by Zhu Hou was looking at him in trance, as if the two were destined in a previous life.

Ouyang Jing saw Zhu Houzhao staring intently at the beautiful girl in front of her, thinking that His Majesty must be interested in this girl, so she quietly wrote down her code name.

At this time, Bai Xue, the owner of Chuxiu Palace, also rushed over after hearing the news. She didn't know that His Majesty was coming here early in the morning, and no one informed them.

And in Chuxiu Palace, men never come in in the morning.

With her slightly swollen belly, her steps became slightly heavier, and she walked over slowly.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty!"

I don't know if Bai Xue's voice is quieter, or Zhu Houzhao is in a daze looking at the girl in front of him. When Bai Xue said hello, Zhu Houzhao didn't hear it.

It was such a small move that was seen and remembered by many beautiful women, and it became the fuse of the open and secret fights between them.

Many people couldn't help looking at the girl standing there, wondering what was on top of her head?Looking at the past, it seems that there is nothing.

Bai Xue stood up, took another step forward, raised her voice, and said loudly to Zhu Houzhao: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, all blessings, Your Majesty!"

With that said, he gave Zhu Houzhao another blessing.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have just come back to reality from his distant memories. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago.

"Well, get up! I came here this time just to take a look around. You manage the Chuxiu Palace well. I will tell my mother later that I will equip you with an assistant. I think you are struggling to walk now, and you will be fine in the future. It’s better to move less.”

When Bai Xue heard that Zhu Houzhao was concerned about her, she immediately thanked Zhu Houzhao.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Ouyang Jing beside him: "Well, your method yesterday was good. Compared with the previous method, it has improved a lot. I will reward you with another 50 taels of silver. I hope you will continue to work hard and make new achievements!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ouyang Jing felt that the new achievements Zhu Houzhao talked about must be to innovate his own working methods, like changing tricks to make him happy.

The beautiful girls around saw each other and looked at each other. This emperor is not only handsome, but also generous, which is really unprecedented.

So, each of them kept this scene in their hearts, thinking that if they could be favored by His Majesty, it would be a blessing in their lives!
Zhu Houzhao originally planned to choose a woman with both ability and political integrity from among these beautiful women to be his wife, so that he can not only manage the harem well, but also satisfy himself, which is the best of both worlds.

However, after watching these show girls, she changed her mind again.

Because he always felt that none of these people was as good as Shangguan Haitang!

If Shangguan Haitang is allowed to come back to be the queen, she must be a very good candidate.

Therefore, the original plan was abandoned.

However, he is not in a hurry to go back. Even though today is the day of the court, Zhu Houzhao has already thought about it, let Xiaofangzi go out to ask for a leave, and it will be over. Didn't he come here many times before!

He doesn't want to leave here yet, because last night, he felt that he didn't enjoy himself enough!

However, he couldn't handle so many show girls.

However, he quickly thought of a "strategy".

"How about this, you let these beautiful girls come to me alone every day from now on, and follow me all the time except when going to court!" Zhu Houzhao arranged this matter to Bai Xue.

"Chen and concubine follow the order!"

She obviously understood what Zhu Houzhao meant.

Two days later.

Shangguan Begonia enters Beijing!

The familiar capital, the familiar red bricks and yellow tiles, and a few familiar faces.

She really didn't know what the result would be when she came to the capital this time.

However, she still decided to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.

She came to Beijing with the Jin Yiwei of Beizhen Prefecture.

The Jin Yiwei of the Beizhen Mansion Division also brought three corpses with them. They intended to rob and kill Shangguan Haitang, but they never succeeded.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao woke up leisurely.

Tao Jianxiu lay beside him and was still sleeping soundly. In the past two days, she had occupied Zhu Houzhao, otherwise it would be useless for any beautiful girl to come in, even if Bai Xue came to intercede.

However, Tao Jianxiu is really excellent, she is proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, and she is also good at playing, playing and singing, which is very much loved by Zhu Houzhao.

Before that, Zhu Houzhao had only heard about the talents of beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has only fully appreciated them now.

However, Tao Jianxiu has been serving His Majesty for the past two days, which made the beautiful women in the harem really jealous.

But what good is jealousy?

Among so many beautiful girls, only the one who was taken care of by Zhu Hou didn't have any selfishness.

Her name is Yang Yan.

It was the woman who never forgot about Zhu Houzhao before. She also wrote several love letters to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao probably forgot about this matter long ago.

The eunuch Xiao Fangzi, who was a close servant, stood outside the hall, feeling very comfortable.

Because yesterday afternoon, he and Ouyang Jing received a lot of rewards from the Queen Mother.

It's really not easy to get the Queen Mother's reward.

Zhu Houzhao didn't wake Tao Jianxiu, he got up and fumbled for clothes.

It was only when many maids came in that they woke her up.

"Your Majesty, why are you up? I planned to get up early today, but..."

Tao Jianxiu blushed, who knew she overslept again this time.

"I'm going to the morning court, if you're sleepy, go to sleep for a while!" Zhu Houzhao turned and said to Tao Jianxiu.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is indeed"

She blushed embarrassedly and continued.

Zhu Houzhao knew that he might have acted a little too harshly, and if this continued, he might repeat the same mistakes he made before.

When Zhu Houzhao came to the Golden Temple, Tao Jianxiu continued to sleep in her bed, and she didn't get up until the sun was high.

After Tao Jianxiu got up, she dressed up here, and she was sitting on the bed waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

She couldn't leave here, and she knew that if she left here, someone might fill her place right away.

If she could choose, she would rather choose to stay here for the rest of her life.
She also understands that those beautiful women who are eyeing for a tiger are not looking at the emperor himself, but the chair behind him.

As long as she can give birth to a dragon species for the royal family, the mother will be proud of her son, just like Bai Xue, and she will have a lifetime of glory and wealth.

What are they planning for entering the palace?Isn't it just glory and wealth?

Tao Jianxiu thought so, and she did the same.
