The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 105

"His Majesty is here!"

"My concubine welcomes Your Majesty!"

At the gate of the Imperial Concubine's Mansion, Hong Niangzi heard that the little emperor was here, and only thought that he was looking for Chen Yuanyuan.

Secretly thought that the little emperor was not very old, but he was so greedy and lustful, he couldn't wait for a day, so he ran here in a hurry.

Zhu Cihong didn't know what she was thinking, so he jumped off the dragon, stepped forward to help her up and said: "My concubine, don't be too polite!"

After speaking, he took her hand and walked directly towards the mansion.

For being held by Zhu Cihong, or even taking a small advantage, Hong Niang is now used to not rejecting it.

So he said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you go out of the palace at night like this, you can easily be taken advantage of by unruly people. If there is anything to do in the future, send someone to inform you, and the concubine should go back to the palace!"

"Why, my concubine doesn't welcome me?"

"Don't dare, the concubine is just worried about His Majesty's safety."

"Hehe, if Concubine Ai is really worried about my safety, why not just live in the palace?" Zhu Ci looked at her and smiled.

Hong Niangzi lowered her head as usual and did not answer.

"My concubine, this is not in the army, why are you still wearing armor? How inconvenient! Hurry up and change your clothes. Today I want to have a good talk with you about Jiangnan affairs. Let's chat and drink later!"

After the two of them came to sit down in the gazebo in the garden of the back house, Zhu Cihong looked at her armor and waved his hands.

"Your Majesty, sit down for a while, and the concubine will go to take a bath and change clothes!" The red lady had to get up and said.

"Well, let's go!"

After the red lady left, Zhu Cihong sat alone in the pavilion and became a little bored. Fortunately, not long after, the maids came to the pavilion with wine and dishes.

After Zhu Cihong poured himself a drink for a while, he saw a beautiful woman in a chest-length skirt and red tulle, walking towards her embracing a pipa.

Zhu Cihong was taken aback, his eyes widened suddenly, his hand shook, and the wine glass almost fell to the ground.

"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty!"

Chen Yuanyuan came forward and bowed her knees, her voice was thin and waxy.

In addition, the tulle was almost transparent, and the tender skin on the chest and a pair of jade arms could be vaguely seen, which made Zhu Cihong's whole body covered with goosebumps.

Secretly thought, this woman does have the capital to bring disaster to the country and the people, but she said calmly: "Madam, don't be too polite, where is the imperial concubine?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Returning to His Majesty, the empress is taking a bath, let the concubine play a piece of music for His Majesty to relieve boredom."

Chen Yuanyuan explained with a trace of nervousness.

He finally dared to sneak a glance at the sitting little emperor.

Seeing that although his face is immature, but handsome, coupled with that unique imperial temperament, his heart beats inexplicably faster, and his palms are faintly sweating, which shows how nervous he is.

"The imperial concubine is very considerate, okay, then please trouble your wife to play a song!"

Zhu Cihong didn't refuse, he just had nothing to do, so he wanted to see how capable Chen Yuanyuan was.

He didn't believe that he was an emperor, not as good as Wu Sangui, and would be fascinated by a woman.

"It's Your Majesty, the concubine made a fool of herself."

Chen Yuanyuan bowed her knees again and saluted, then sat on the stool opposite, plucked the strings, and began to sing while playing.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire gazebo became mournful and desolate.

This is the first time Zhu Cihong has enjoyed ancient music since he traveled so far. The player who played it was the famous Chen Yuanyuan in history. Gradually, his mind relaxed and he closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.

After playing the song, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked even more charming. I felt pity for her, and with her peerless appearance, she couldn't help but want to hug her in her arms, so as to comfort her.

"I'm afraid only a woman with a rough fate like Madam can play such a tear-jerking piece of music."

Zhu Cihong slowly opened his eyes, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down in one gulp, then sighed.

In history, among the Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River, this Chen Yuanyuan was the most famous, and also had the most tragic fate.

Relying on their talent and fame and the praise of Jiangnan scholars, the other seven women can barely choose their own affiliation.

Only this Chen Yuanyuan was the most unlucky. He was bumped into by a completely unruly relative like Tian Guozhang, and he was forcibly bought and taken away.

Even if the Jiangnan scholars are unwilling, they will at most verbally denounce it. After all, a famous prostitute in a brothel is not worthy of everyone's prominence and offending a foreign relative.

But if you leave Jiangnan and lose the protection of those scholars and literati, you will really only be reduced to a plaything for the powerful.

In fact, in essence, those so-called brothel prostitutes in Jiangnan are also just playthings raised by the powerful literati in Jiangnan.

It's just that the kind of money that can be overthrown, people are tired of playing, so they have reached a new height.

Deliberately elevating these famous prostitutes, making them cold and reserved, and cultivating talents are compelling, and then everyone will use their own methods to compete fairly, which will undoubtedly be more exciting.

So when it comes to pleasure, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were definitely at the level of masters, not only full of tricks, but also unconventional.

"You made Your Majesty laugh. If Your Majesty likes to listen, how about this concubine playing another song for His Majesty?"

Chen Yuanyuan was also quite surprised to see that the little emperor just sighed with emotion and had nothing to say, so he had to say it again.

"No need, this kind of sad song should not be listened to too much!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

Although I sighed and sympathized with her experience, it was only a sigh.

No matter how miserable her experience was, at least she was living a life of rich clothes and fine food. Compared with the tens of thousands of people in Ming Dynasty who were on the verge of starving to death, it was nothing at all. She is also nothing.

Ever since he came here and determined to save the Han people in the world and dominate the world, Zhu Cihong understood that he can only have great love for all sentient beings in his heart.

Because of this, when he was about to give up the millions of refugees in the city, he could have a clear conscience.

"How about that concubine dance for His Majesty?" Chen Yuanyuan could only try to say again cautiously, feeling a little flustered in her heart.

"Well, this can be."

Zhu Cihong nodded, the sad song was too unpleasant.

Only then did Chen Yuanyuan breathe a sigh of relief, and carefully leaned the pipa against the stone pillar beside her, and began to dance lightly.

If she is still not interested, she will wonder if the little emperor is not interested in women anymore, so at this moment, she has the idea of ​​not admitting defeat.

She guessed that the little emperor was still young, so he didn't know how to be sympathetic, so she decided to be bold and direct.

This is not compared to the sadness just now, but now Chen Yuanyuan's dancing posture is reserved yet with a touch of beauty, which is very seductive.

Sure enough, in such a glamorous scene, after three glasses of wine, Zhu Cihong's eyes also burst into flames.

Chen Yuanyuan had obviously been secretly paying attention to Zhu Cihong's reaction. Seeing this, she finally felt at ease. The next moment, she pretended to step on the corner of her skirt and accidentally fell towards him, which seemed so natural.

"what…"

"Madam be careful..."

With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Cihong caught her.

Chen Yuanyuan fell into his arms like a frightened little rabbit, and then pleaded guilty in fear and trepidation: "The concubine deserves to die, I frightened Your Majesty, please come down and punish me."

"It's okay, madam is not hurt?"

"Thank you Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, I made Your Majesty laugh."

One of the two stayed still, and the other forgot to let go, just hugging like this.

In the end, it was Chen Yuanyuan who broke the ambiguous atmosphere and said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that even the emperors of all dynasties in ancient and modern times cannot compare with him. The humble concubine admires him so much. Today, being able to perform skills for your majesty is really a blessing from the third generation. The humble concubine dares to respect your majesty." A glass of wine, I wonder if His Majesty will grant it?"

After speaking, the expression of admiration and anticipation was added to the apprehension.

This time, Chen Yuanyuan didn't put on an air, she spoke the truth.

Leaving aside other things, just because of the little emperor's trust and doting on the red lady, he envied all the women in the world.

Although everyone scolded Tang Minghuang for being stupid and Concubine Yang for harming the country and the people, but who would not want to be the Concubine Yang who is loved by thousands of people?
So when the imperial concubine asked her to serve His Majesty, she didn't have much resistance in her heart.

Because she knows that she has now been promoted to the point where no man in the world dares to want her except the emperor.

If she didn't get the little emperor's favor and favor in the end, then she would have no choice but to become a nun.

"Then have a drink!"

Zhu Cihong didn't pay much attention to it, and enjoyed being flattered by her very much. He happily lifted her up and sat her on his lap.

"Thank you Your Majesty for fulfilling..."

Chen Yuanyuan quickly thanked En for pouring the wine, then picked up two glasses of wine, fed him to drink, and drank by herself, her eyes like autumn water were full of spring.

Just like that, while Chen Yuanyuan kept using words to please Zhu Cihong, she kept feeding vegetables and wine.

Using all his means, the size of them can be said to be just right.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

"Your Majesty, don't blame me, concubine, concubine, it's just that I can't drink..." Chen Yuanyuan breathed out and helped his forehead, his whole body was as soft as cotton.

"Then let me help you go back to your room and rest for a while..."

As Zhu Cihong spoke, he picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bedroom.

Hong Ling, who was in charge of guarding the safety, hurriedly followed.

He cursed in his heart that Chen Yuanyuan was indeed a vixen, he would fascinate the little emperor and completely forget about the imperial concubine.

"There is no need to follow."

Zhu Cihong walked into the bedroom and said something to the back.

Hong Ling had no choice but to stomp her foot and close the door.

When Zhu Cihong came to the bed, he threw Chen Yuanyuan onto the bed.

Chen Yuanyuan, who fell this time, was a mess, she groaned softly, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, this little emperor really doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade at all!
But after waiting for a long time, seeing no movement, he could only slowly open his eyes, only to find that His Majesty was sitting by the bed in leisure.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I should not lie down, but should serve His Majesty to change clothes.

So he got up and stuck it up from behind, calling softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is for you..."

"Chen Yuanyuan, what should you do?"

But Zhu Cihong pushed her hand away from her chest and said coldly.

Chen Yuanyuan was stunned for a long time, didn't react for a long time, and then panicked, thinking that the power of the sky was unpredictable, and she had committed a taboo unintentionally, she was so frightened that she hurriedly got out of bed and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"The concubine deserves to die, your Majesty, please punish me."

"It seems that Madam is very good at drinking!"

"Damn the concubine, she shouldn't have lied to His Majesty..."

Chen Yuanyuan's face was pale, and her body trembled slightly.

"Get up, I don't blame you for this matter, you go and call the noble concubine!"

Zhu Cihong saw that she was terrified, so he said in a slow tone, but laughed in his heart, he was worried that he had no excuse to take down Hong Niangzi, now he is fine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Yuanyuan didn't dare to say any more, she hurriedly thanked her, turned around and hurried out of the bedroom with the corner of her skirt, but couldn't figure it out, why did His Majesty suddenly change his face when he was fine, and what did he do wrong?

Could it be because he pretended to be drunk and let His Majesty carry him into the room?
But don't all men like this sentiment?

Outside the door, Hong Niangzi also sneaked over, looked at Chen Yuanyuan who came out, and said in surprise: "You didn't serve His Majesty well, why did you run out?"

"Mother, Your Majesty seems to be angry, and told you to come in and see me." Chen Yuanyuan replied in a low voice.

"what?"

"This...wasn't it okay just now? Why did you suddenly get angry? Tell me! What did you do?"

When the red lady heard that she had made the little emperor angry, her complexion changed immediately, and she said sharply, but she was not angry but happy in her heart.

"Back to your mother, the servant really didn't do anything..."

Chen Yuanyuan was about to cry, so she quickly explained.

The ghost knows what kind of wind that little emperor had, he hugged him to the bed, but he didn't take off his clothes, he just sat by the bed and lost his temper.

"You go back first!" Hong Niangzi frowned, unable to figure it out for a while, so she waved her hand.

"It's the empress, the servants are leaving!"

Chen Yuanyuan also had no choice but to resign and leave in frustration.

"Sister Hong, Your Majesty is already angry, what else do you want, go in!" Hong Ling hurriedly urged.

"But…"

The red lady looked at the tulle palace dress she was wearing, and felt a little apprehensive and hesitant when the matter came to an end.

"Sister Hong, don't you just want to wear it for His Majesty to see? What's there to be embarrassed about?" Hong Ling covered her mouth and smiled.

"Speak up!"

Seeing that she had seen through her thoughts, the red lady immediately blushed and cursed, but she also gritted her teeth and pushed the door and walked in.

After arriving in the bedroom, the lady in red carried her palace skirt and walked cautiously. Although her posture was not as elegant as Chen Yuanyuan's, she still had a bit of a noble concubine's temperament.

Apparently, he has also been secretly learning some court etiquette these days, and has worked hard.

"The concubine kowtows to His Majesty!"

When she came close, the red lady slowly bowed her knees to Zhu Cihong who was sitting by the bed, sweating from her tense palms.

Seeing her dressed like this, with light makeup on, Zhu Cihong's eyes also brightened.

It was immediately clear what was going on.

This girl must have mistakenly thought that she was here to find Chen Yuanyuan, and she was jealous, so she started to compare herself and wanted to dress up in front of her.

However, he still said with a straight face: "Ai Fei can be convicted?"

"The concubine doesn't know, please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

"I ask you, did you let that Chen Yuanyuan seduce me? Don't you know that it is a serious crime to seduce your majesty?"

"what!"

"Isn't Your Majesty... My concubine is guilty, please punish me!"

The red lady was taken aback, and then she wanted to say, didn't you come to find Chen Yuanyuan on purpose?But in the middle of the speech, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"How about punishing my concubine to sleep with me tonight?"

Zhu Cihong leaned forward and directly lifted her chin, saying with burning eyes.

The red lady blushed and her heart beat immediately from his stare, she quickly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Didn't your majesty say that you all follow your concubines?"

"I said before, the lovely concubine should never let that Chen Yuanyuan provoke me tonight. I am a body of gold, how can an ordinary woman get close?"

"Now I only have you as a noble concubine. My concubine said by herself, who should I let sleep?"

With a smirk on his face, Zhu Cihong lifted her head up again, letting her look at him.

"Does Your Majesty really need to be like this...to be at ease?" The red lady bit her lips tightly and asked pantingly.

Zhu Cihong was embarrassed by her question.

He secretly thought that although this girl had a good figure and extremely beautiful appearance, she didn't understand the slightest bit of amorous feelings, and she and Chen Yuanyuan were simply two extremes.

How can you ask such a question at a time like this? Isn't this a spoiler?

But she didn't understand the style, but she couldn't understand it, otherwise this matter would not be able to continue, so she stood up and helped her up, and said softly: "My concubine misunderstood, it's not that I don't worry about my concubine, in fact, I don't care about my concubine." I have always admired Concubine Ai very much, and I sincerely want to have a son with Concubine Ai, so that I can inherit the throne in the future..."

"what!"

This sudden scene frightened Zhu Cihong so much that he opened his mouth wide, and almost blurted out to call for help, but luckily his mouth was blocked in time, otherwise his fame would have been ruined.
