The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 403 Leopard Room
"His Majesty."

Qian Ning said with a smile: "I have prepared several big dishes for Your Majesty. I wonder which one Your Majesty would like to try first?"

Emperor Zhengde was itchy to hear it, and waved impatiently: "I want to taste it together."

Qian Ning was overjoyed when he heard the words.

He was very precise about the emperor's wishes.It is said that the king's prestige is unpredictable, but in his opinion, this is the simplest thing in the world.

"Your Majesty, these women don't understand the rules, if they offend the holy driver."

However, Zhengde interrupted: "It's not in the way, let them come in quickly."

Qian Ning immediately saluted Zhengde, turned around and clapped his hands.

Then a palace official led three women in their twenties and walked in.

These women were dressed in common clothes, their hair was all rolled up, and they all looked at Zhengde timidly.

In terms of appearance, they are naturally not as good as Zhengde's concubines, even many court ladies.

But Emperor Zhengde was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so he naturally had some expectations for farm dishes.

These folk women don't wear makeup, but they have plain makeup, which makes Zhengde very interested.

He walked up to a civilian woman, held her chin up with his fingers and said, "Raise your head, let me see."

The woman only felt dizzy for a while, but suppressed the fear in her heart and raised her head to meet Zhengde's eyes.

The four eyes met, and a strange feeling flashed between them.

Zhengde swallowed and said, "What's your name? Where do you live?"

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and Qian Ning immediately said, "Your Majesty is asking you something."

"The slave's name is Liu Ying'er, and she is from Wanping County. Since her husband passed away three years ago, she has been keeping festivals ever since."

widow?Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard the words.It's just his favorite genre.

"Three years of festivals? Isn't it too empty?"

The corners of Zhengde's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile.

Faced with the emperor's teasing, Liu Ying'er's cheeks flushed immediately, and she said awkwardly: "No."

"Go down, both of you."

Zhengde waved his hand, and Qian Ning immediately stepped forward to take the other two girls out.

Of course he will not come back again, as the favorite minister who always accompanies Shengjia, he knows what Zhengde will do next.

There are only two people in the huge palace room now, and it seems a little silent.

"Come here and tell me to take a good look."

Although Zhengde's voice is not high, it reveals the majesty of a superior, which is irresistible.

Liu Ying'er hesitated for a moment and then took half a step forward, but Zhengde immediately put his arms around her.

"My sweetheart, let's live in this leopard house from now on. If you need anything, just tell me. If you follow me, I won't treat you badly."

Liu Yinger panicked, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to close her eyes.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Zhengde sensed Liu Yinger's emotions and couldn't help frowning.

He let go of Liu Ying'er, and said displeasedly: "Do you think I'm a person who steals by chance?"

"Nu Nu dare not!"

Liu Ying'er lowered her head, bit her lip and remained silent.

Zhengde doesn't like to do forced things.Although Qian Ning kidnapped many women for him, Zhengde did not force them.Only if they themselves are willing to be righteous will they be asked to sleep.

Of course, according to the palace regulations, these women have entered the leopard room, even if they have not really served the emperor, they are still the emperor's women.Even if they are released, they will never be able to get along with their original husband again, and those who are not married will not be able to marry for life.

"Don't you dare?"

Zhengde was angry, he gave Liu Yinger a look and said: "Don't tell me you don't dare. The ministers in the court blocked my mouth with this sentence, and you also use this sentence as a shield? You say you don't dare, but in your heart Are you kidding me?"

Although Zhengde is the son of heaven and rich in the world, he is actually ruled by the courtiers and is just a puppet in many things.

What he acted as was just a symbol, saying a few words "I got it" and "Quasi-playing" at the ceremonial meeting.

emperor?Does anyone really regard him as the emperor?
After a long time, Zhengde also saw through it, and simply stopped going to court.Chan Ning suggested that he build a leopard room to escape the cramped and oppressive Forbidden City.

This suits him.That's why the Ministry of Industry spent 24 taels of silver to build a leopard house.

Zhengde can't afford to offend those courtiers who are spitting stars and double standards, but they can hide!

In this leopard room, he could feel a moment of peace.No more sitting upright, no more acting like a statue.

Here, Zhengde feels that he is a person of flesh and blood.

But when Zhengde was enjoying the joy of ordinary people, Liu Yinger's words brought him back to reality.

He is the Son of Heaven, the noblest and loneliest person in the world.Although he escaped from the Forbidden City, he could not escape the shackles of etiquette.

As the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he had to endure this restraint.

"Your Majesty, Nunu is just a little flustered."

Liu Yinger fell to her knees and said in a low voice.

Zhengde was silent for a moment, then pulled Liu Yinger up and said, "Forget it, you are not to blame for this matter."

After a short pause, Zhengde continued, "Come and have a drink with me."

After speaking, he walked to the bed and poured two glasses of wine offered by Hami.

The emperor poured wine for Liu Yinger himself, which made her flattered.

Liu Ying'er didn't know what to say, so she didn't pick up the wine glass.

Zhengde coughed, and Liu Yinger realized that she took the wine glass.

"I think you're very interesting."

Zhengde drank the wine in one gulp, said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Liu Yinger whispered.

"It's cold at night, let's put on this dress. Qian Ning is really, he just sent the person to me, and he doesn't know how to add another dress."

Zhengde put his Gunlong casual robe on Liu Yinger's body, which made her tremble.

"I told you to wear it, it's okay."

He took Liu Yinger's hand to the dragon bed, smiled and said, "Can you play chess?"

Liu Yinger shook her head.

"I think so, but I can teach you."

Zhengde took off his boots and sat on the bed. He pointed at the chessboard on the low table and said, "This is the chessboard. Players each hold black and white chess pieces in order, and whoever gets the most pieces wins."

Liu Yinger asked curiously, "Why does it sound like a marching army?"

Zhengde only thought it was interesting, smiled and said: "Yes, it is the same as marching and fighting. Before making a move, you must consider the situation of the next five or ten steps, and you must not just focus on the present."

Zhengde's chess skills are not superb, but it is enough to teach Liu Yinger.

"Come on, you choose a color."

Liu Yinger hesitated for a moment, then picked up a sunspot.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhengde took her hand and placed Heizi in the northeast corner.

"A grass belly with golden horns and silver edges, everyone who plays chess knows this truth."

Zhengde said with a smile: "Remember, the four corners of the chessboard are the battlegrounds. If anyone occupies the third corners, it is almost a game that must be won."
