The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

At this moment, Empress Ma glanced at him sideways and suddenly asked, "What are you muttering to yourself over there?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and replied in a flustered manner, "No, nothing."

Immediately afterward, Lao Zhu quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, where did you go just now?"

Empress Ma explained, "I was worried that you would wake Ming'er, so I sent him to the warm pavilion."

That's right, the Sixth Prince Zhu Ming did not have his own palace, but always slept with Empress Ma, which was also to make it easier to take care of him.

At this moment, a hint of suspicion flashed in Empress Ma's eyes. The next second, she suddenly leaned closer and said with a serious expression, "Something's not right. You're acting strangely tonight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the youthful and delicate face before him, and his heart trembled.

This is not some kind of demon or evil spirit in disguise!

This is exactly what the girl looked like when she was eighteen, just as he remembered her!

At this point, Old Zhu could no longer suppress his emotions, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, are you really our sister?"

Empress Ma was taken aback at first, but quickly realized the reason and said reproachfully, "You Zhu Chongba, so you've always thought of me as a monster."

"So that's why you were suddenly startled! Turns out, I scared you!"

At this point, Empress Ma could no longer hold back and covered her mouth to chuckle.

"Hahaha……"

A clear, gentle laugh echoed through the hall.

The tense and eerie atmosphere was instantly dispelled.

The girl, now free of signs of hardship, has a bright and captivating smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart trembled at the sight, and he couldn't look away for a long time.

For any man

He loved two people most in his life.

One is the white moonlight, the other is the cinnabar mole!

But coincidentally, Empress Ma was both Zhu Yuanzhang's ideal woman and his unforgettable love.

Even though over the years, Empress Ma's appearance has changed drastically due to years of hard work and stress, and she no longer looks the same as she did in her youth.

But her place in Old Zhu's heart will always be unshakable.

There's a saying that goes,

Ma Xiuying was Zhu Chongba's wife; the other concubines were all Zhu Yuanzhang's women.

"You idiot, what are you looking at!"

Empress Ma waved her hand in front of Emperor Zhu's eyes, her face showing a hint of coquettishness.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to his senses, his gaze still lingering on her face, his tone slightly unsteady.

"We feel like we're dreaming. We haven't seen you like this in so many years. We're completely mesmerized."

After saying that, Old Zhu wanted to reach out and touch it, afraid that it was all a dream.

The next second, Empress Ma slapped his paw away, scolding him, "Where are you touching me?"

Although he was hit by Empress Ma

But Old Zhu acted as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit; instead of getting angry, he showed a satisfied expression.

"Yes, that's the taste!"

"Hey, when did you become such a pervert!"

Empress Ma gave him a slightly disgusted look, then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind like a lapdog.

"Hey girl, I was just about to ask you, what's wrong with your appearance...?"

"You want to ask why I was able to regain my youth?" Empress Ma continued his question.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded frantically.

Empress Ma: "Actually, I'm not quite sure either."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "?"

Empress Ma explained, "After the family banquet ended today, Ming'er said he wanted to give me a gift. He said today is my birthday, but it is also the day of my mother's suffering."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh, "Ming'er is truly a filial son. But what does this have to do with you regaining your youth?"

Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes at him and couldn't help but say, "You pig-brain, the connection is obviously with the gift that Ming'er is giving out tomorrow."

He said he got lost today not because he was playing around, but because he had taken a deity as his master and the deity gave him a pill.

"The child didn't want to eat it, so he tricked me into eating it, and that's how I ended up like this."

When Ma Xiuying talked about this, she was filled with emotion and self-reproach.

"A deity?" Old Zhu's first reaction was disbelief.

But when he saw the amazing thing that happened to the girl, he silently swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The facts are right in front of you; you can't deny them!

"Where is Ming'er now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously.

Throughout history, countless emperors have spent their entire lives seeking immortality and expending countless human and financial resources, only to end up with nothing.

Who could have imagined that such a miraculous opportunity would ultimately fall upon their own son?

Empress Ma blurted out instinctively, "Ming'er is still sleeping!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately got up and was about to leave, saying urgently, "Such a tremendous event has happened, how can he still sleep? Let's go wake him up and find out what's going on!"

But he had only taken two steps when Empress Ma grabbed his arm.

"Why are you in such a hurry? He won't run away tomorrow. Whatever it is, ask him tomorrow!"

Old Zhu struggled a few times, but Empress Ma had regained her youth and possessed astonishing strength. Seeing that he couldn't break free, he had no choice but to give up.

"That brat, something this big happened and he didn't even tell his father."

"And that elixir of youth, why didn't he think to share one with his father? What an unfilial child!" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered angrily, his face full of grievance and jealousy.

He had barely finished muttering that when...

Ma Xiuying overheard it.

He immediately grabbed his ear, twisted it, and pulled it upwards with force.

"Ouch, ouch, sister, be gentle!" Zhu Yuanzhang cried out in pain, pleading for mercy.

Empress Ma grabbed his ear and said sternly, "I'm warning you, Zhu Chongba, put away your little schemes and don't you dare try anything with Ming'er again."

"If I find out that you went and took Ming'er's things and made Ming'er suffer, I will definitely not forgive you."

Empress Ma had known Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years and knew his character all too well. He was like a dog, no, in some ways, even more dog-like than a dog!

Zhu Yuanzhang pleaded for mercy, saying, "Sister, Ming'er is my son. I dote on him too much to harm him. You are slandering me."

Empress Ma didn't believe him at all, but out of consideration for their past as husband and wife, she was ultimately willing to give him a chance.

"You better keep your word!"

Then, Empress Ma loosened her grip on Zhu Yuanzhang's ear.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his reddened ears, gasped, and said, "Ouch, that hurts so much! Sister, you look so young again, and even your strength has increased!"

Seeing Old Zhu wince in pain, Empress Ma finally softened and asked gently, "Does it hurt?"

Old Zhu wanted to grit his teeth and say it didn't hurt, but the words caught in his throat. His eyes darted around, and he immediately said in a pitiful voice, "It hurts! My ear almost fell off!"

"However, if the girl is willing to massage it for us, it will definitely relieve a lot of the pain!"

When Empress Ma saw that he was still thinking about this, she immediately retorted, "Dream on, this will teach you a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately fell.
