eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 751
"Your Majesty, can I make some soothing medicine for you?" Concubine Jing rubbed Zhu Houzhao's temples with a very light hand.

"No need, it's not because I'm tired, it's because the weather is too hot. Every summer is my most peaceful time, but I really don't want to go out to bask in the sun."

Concubine Jing smiled softly, showing her teeth, "Your Majesty is the emperor, there is no way for you to say anything about peace and quiet."

"It's just me and Concubine Jing here, so it's nothing." Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something, so he said, "If it continues to be so hot, it will eventually make people tired. I'm thinking about when the country's affairs will be less, and people will find it." A place where you can escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air. Allocate a little money to build a palace or a villa, so that you can have a place to hide in the summer."

Concubine Jing's heart hurt, and the emperor still had to be frugal even if he was suffering from pain. "If the country's expenses are difficult to meet, it is better for me to gather the power of several sisters in the harem to make the emperor more comfortable."

"Hey, it's not to the extent that you should be frugal. It's just that these troubled times are going on. It's not good to hear that the emperor is building construction elsewhere. The money can be easily solved."

There is also a good thing about summer, that is, when serving him, these harem concubines often wear only a gauze as thin as cicada wings and do not feel cold. Under the soft gauze is fine white and smooth skin, which is also from the chest down. Rolled up in a continuous arc, it hides an introverted cherry that doesn't want to see anyone.

Concubine Jing was not drafted into the palace, but was chosen by Zhu Houzhao himself. Her figure seemed a little too big at the moment, but in Zhu Houzhao's eyes she was the best.

Even in the heat of these dog days, I still don’t forget to work hard.

Soon after, fragrant sweat broke out through his clothes, and the blush on his face and chest never faded for a long time.

Under the mixed emotions, Concubine Jing's tone became tired, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare Kui'er."

Seeing that she was shaking so much, Zhu Houzhao stopped his hand. Looking carefully, the hair on her face was covered in sweat.

Then he rolled down and said with a smile, "Are you reaping the bitter consequences?"

Concubine Jing is proficient in medicine. Her daily job is to pay attention to the emperor's body and regulate it with mild medicine, including that aspect of course.

That's why it was said that she suffered the consequences.

"The emperor is so powerful that I, the concubine, can hardly bear it."

Concubine Jing's small mouth was breathing heavily, and she couldn't hear it at all.

Zhu Houzhao also felt a little out of breath, but he didn't feel tired. He breathed smoothly after a while, and then he was still full of energy and said, "Here comes someone."

Two maids walked in, "Your Majesty."

"Is the fragrant soup ready?"

"Ready."

"I'll go right away."

"Yes."

Some habits of modern people and ancient people are different, but Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, and basically all the original procedures have been slowly changed by him. For example, he will let his concubines take a bath with him.

In fact, this would damage his reputation, but he didn't care about that. The young emperor was bound to be romantic. He spent his whole life afraid of people saying this and worrying about people saying that. It would be too frustrating to live.

After the concubine Jing took a short rest, she stood up and put on the gauze. The clothes hung on her body and wrapped around her slender waist. The curves were so wonderful that Zhu Houzhao was well-informed.

It was hot in the summer, and bathing was just to get rid of the sweat. It was unbearable to take too many soaks, so the two soon came back to cuddle with each other.

……

……

The next day, the emperor continued to enjoy the cool air in the imperial garden, and announced that Queen Xia, Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing were together.

When the three of them arrived together, it was like a hundred flowers blooming. Zhu Houzhao found it eye-catching wherever he looked.

"In the past few years, there have been reports from the north. The Ming army has been victorious against the Mongols in succession. In the past two or three years, the Mongolian army in the north of Datong and Xuanfu has barely exceeded a thousand men. It is cold in the north and hot in the south. The summer heat in the capital is unbearable. I'm thinking of finding a place to the north and building a palace. On the one hand, I want to continue to show my great ambition to guard the country and the king to die for the country. At the same time, it can also be used to escape the summer heat. When the time comes, you will go with me."

Queen Xia was a little worried, "Your Majesty, my concubines are fine, but Your Majesty wants to get closer to the north... Will there be any danger?"

"With a large army surrounding us, why is there any danger? Queen, don't worry."

Concubine Xian said: "If there really is such a place, it would be a great relief for Your Majesty."

Of course, the average temperature in Chengde Mountain Resort in summer is only over 20 degrees.And being closer to Mongolia and Liaodong will also help him deal with some affairs.

In addition, he can also find a spacious place there to do some military parades, military exercises, training and other things. The capital is still too compact and there are too many people, so it is not suitable.

Moreover, his princes are gradually growing up, and Zhu Houzhao really doesn't want to raise a weak, useless person who can't take two steps and will die young at the age of 40 or [-].

Men still need to be nurtured and nurtured by strong men.

"How are you in the harem lately? Nothing important, right?"

Concubine Xian praised the queen, "Sister the Queen is tolerant and generous, and she handles things upright. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Queen Xia was delighted, "I know that the emperor is worried about state affairs, so how dare we make trouble for no reason and make the emperor unhappy? The emperor wants to punish us."

"I don't have to worry about you. It's mainly about the royal relatives. The imperial court is clearing land in various places. You can each write a letter to explain."

"Yes."

The voices of three Yingyans sounded at the same time, very soft and waxy.

"I have nothing to do today. Let's go and follow me to Xiyuan to take a boat trip on the lake. Oh," Zhu Houzhao stood up and turned around, "Xian Guifei, bring your piano to add a bit of elegance to us."

Concubine Xian smiled gently, "Yes, everything will be as the Emperor wishes."

Zhu Houzhao was in the woman's arms. There was a constant breeze above the lake, and the fresh fragrance kept blowing into his nose. The cool air blowing from the water also made him feel more comfortable.

Concubine Xian played the piano while the other two women fed him some fruits. The three of them wandered around and chatted happily.

Queen Xia said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I heard Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhao say that they missed the eldest prince and the second prince. It has been almost two months since I followed Ping Haibo to Hangzhou. I wonder when your majesty will let the two princes go. A prince is returning?"

According to what the emperor said last year, after the spring of this year, Ping Haibo took Zai Tuo and Zai Yan to Hangzhou because they were concubines. Although the courtiers had some slight remarks, they did not bother them too much, but Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhao were more concerned. In a hurry, they are worried that the child will be bumped or not used to being outside the palace, so they are always worried.

Although Zhu Houzhao doted on his wife, he did not have any bottom line. "Why are you anxious? Ping Haibo is their grandfather, and he will never let them endure hardship. I still don't want to do this. Don't you know that there are many loving mothers among the people?" What about the loser?"

Concubine Jing said from the side: "Sister Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhao have no other thoughts. They just want the two children to grow up safely. To be honest, I, how capable I am is less important."

Zhu Houzhao shook his fan and suddenly turned his head, "Concubine Xian, Zai Yao is still young. I will let him out of the palace in a few years. Will you blame me?"

"How dare I, my concubine?"

"You are still sensible." Zhu Houzhao knocked on the thighs of the two women next to him, "Raising boys is different from raising girls. Princess, I love and protect them all. Boys should be wilder. I can say this. It’s just that they can’t all be longer than women’s hands.”

When the concubine heard this, she whispered, "Isn't your Majesty born wise and mighty?"

"This is a special situation for me. What you two have is not a son. If you give birth to a son, I will let them leave the palace."

When it came to having a son, although Zhu Houzhao didn't mean what he said, they both had watery eyes when they mentioned this 'phrase'.

But after all, she felt shy because of the crowd. Concubine Jing picked up the snacks on the table and ate them. She actually wanted to hide it, but after just two bites, she suddenly covered her mouth and started vomiting. She even vomited several times, and her cheeks turned red. .

"Concubine Jing, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor and empress looked at each other and thought of something almost at the same time.In fact, there are no contraceptive measures these days, and as an emperor, there is no need for it. Zhu Houzhao always takes off his hat and stands at attention.

"How about you take your own pulse?"

……

……

Concubine Jing was happy, which made Queen Xia even more anxious.

At night in Kunning Palace, after the curtains fell, she couldn't help but twist her body and said softly: "Your Majesty..."
