Chapter 267 The Emperor's Inquiry

The wing room in Xiao Mansion.

The breeze enters the room, the red candles sway, the shadows squirm under the lamp, the fragrance covers the lotus tent, and the spring light in the room suddenly disappears.

A few soft and tender moans like crying and complaining, the quiet night echoed in the inner room, adding a bit of charming atmosphere, and the cold night is like spring.

I don’t know how long it took, but the leisurely pleasant moan finally stopped gradually, like a small boat after the wind and waves, sailing into the quiet harbor, with only the heavy and long breathing sounds of men and women in the wing room.

The pink curtain veil was slightly blown up by the wind and slowly covered up. A pair of fair figures of men and women intertwined with each other flashed away.

"Honey, I'm almost dying..." Chen Ying'er's breathing was heart-warming, and her mature body made Xiao Fan addicted to love.

"Are you satisfied with your wife?" Xiao Fan's breathing was also very rapid.

Chen Ying'er was both ashamed and angry, and gently hit him.

"If you need me in the future, I will never refuse my husband, but... I am not allowed to be too impatient, and I am not allowed to knock me out. I am just being happy and selfish!" Xiao Fan emphasized very seriously.

Chen Ying'er's pretty face suddenly turned bloody. The reversal of Xiao Fan was always a memory that she was ashamed to say and would not even want to think of. That kind of experience was so embarrassing. Until now, she still couldn't imagine why she had such great courage to do such shameless things. If Xiao Fan was a pedantic and conservative Confucian scholar, I'm afraid that the forced push that night would have completely ruined her fate with him.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan is not pedantic or conservative. After entering the Xiao family, he slept with him these days and went to the clouds and rains together. It proved that Xiao Fan was not a conservative person, not only not conservative, but also open beyond her imagination.

When he thought of this, even though Chen Ying'er was already a wife in the Xiao family, he couldn't help but look shy.

This dead ghost will have many tricks when he is lingering in bed, and each trick and posture makes people blush and heartbeat. The strong sense of shame and strange stimulation make her want to die every time, and she is happy as if she is in a fairyland. After living for twenty years, she now knows the beauty of love between men and women.

The two of them had a warm and lingering moment, and the afterglow of passion finally faded away, and Chen Ying'er returned to the world from heaven.

Gently stroking Xiao Fan's white and jade-like chest, Chen Ying'er said quietly: "Mr., the Jinyiwei calls the Chen family's grain ships more and more frequently. Every time the grain caravan goes north, a large number of Jinyiwei pretends to be friends. Everyone's faces are solemn and nervous. I heard that the court secretly dispatched dozens of thousands of households from the south to go north...Mr., are the imperial court and the King of Yan going to fight each other?"

Xiao Fan was stunned and nodded, "Yes, the arrows on both sides are already on the strings and have to be fired. It won't take long to take action..."

The first batch of cadets in the martial arts hall next to the Royal Horse Farm in the western suburbs of the capital have successfully graduated. They were assigned by the Ministry of War to thousands of households in various places, with more than 2,000 households. The general flag was charged into the Ming army. The ability of middle and low-level generals was strengthened, which will definitely play a positive role in leading the way to the Ming army with a deeper qi. In addition, the Ministry of War has ordered that military households do not have to farm and practice with all their strength. Hundreds of military juren in the high school of the martial arts examination were also assigned to the Ministry of War to serve in the army. At this point, the military system reforms promoted by Xiao Fan have begun to show results. Taking three-pronged approach, the combat power of the Ming army is naturally greatly improved.

The combat power of the army has improved, and the next step is to find out, and the battle between the court and the King of Yan is inevitable.

Chen Ying'er sighed quietly and said, "The three sisters don't know the situation in the world without leaving home. But I do business abroad all day long and know more than them. My husband, if the court starts a war with the vassal kings, will the emperor let you fight as the commander?"

Xiao Fan smiled bitterly. This was basically impossible to escape. In order to consolidate the imperial power and prevent the Zhu family from being threatened by foreign ministers, a large number of founding generals who were good at fighting were killed in the Hu Lan case. Some survivors also died of panic and depressed. Only Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, two veterans who were good at defending and were not good at fighting. Among the younger generation of military generals, Sheng Yong and Ping'an were more brave and lacked wisdom. After the merits of Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu, they were even more incompetent. The Hongwu Dynasty's national policy of promoting civil and suppressing martial arts finally showed its consequences. When the war began, even a candidate for the commander who could command the three armies could not be found. This is a kind of tragedy.

Although Xiao Fan was a civil servant, he had made many preparations for the government. When he was ordered to go to Peking, he led three thousand weak brigades to the grasslands, and while turning the Tartar camps upside down, he could still escape unscathed. Such military achievements were placed in front of him, and he was also the emperor's most beloved minister. He promoted the military system reforms with all his might. What's more terrible is that he had a dazzling halo of martial arts champion hanging on his head...

Where can I find a coach who is so tall, short, fat, and thin?

If the court starts a war with the King of Yan, who else will the commander choose? How could Zhu Yunwen and the civil and military officials of the court miss him?

This is the sin of being too good...

Chen Ying'er's snow-white jade arms slowly hooked on Xiao Fan's neck, and exhaled in his ears like orchids, "I wish to be a person who is wholehearted and never leave each other. My husband, Ying'er has been waiting for you for so long and finally got her wish, how can she bear to be separated from you? My husband, Ying'er is willing to live and die with you..."

Xiao Fan was shocked and said seriously: "No! This is a war, not a trip, it will kill people! You, a woman, don't get involved, stay at home, and don't do anything reckless."

Chen Ying'er pouted slightly and said coquettishly: "My husband went on a war. Ying'er mobilized food and supplies for her husband and transported supplies. Is there anything wrong with her? Ying'er has traveled around the world in recent years and has accumulated a lot of worldly experiences. If her husband is worried about the war, Ying'er can also help you come up with ideas and think of ways. If her husband is in great spirits, Ying'er... Ying'er can also recommend her own pillows and mats in the military tent, and she will be a little relieved for her husband..."

As Chen Ying'er spoke, her voice became more and more subtle...

"Oh—" Xiao Fan moaned like happiness and pain, and struggled: "You... don't do this, it's useless to make the beauty trick. War is not a woman's business. You stay in the capital honestly and you are not allowed to go anywhere..."

Chen Ying'er smiled, gently exposed the matter and whispered in Xiao Fan's ear: "Honeyone... have you thought about it again?"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

The breeze enters the curtain and the spring scenery is endless.

Both are arrogant and responding to each other, but they are different from others. When Xiao Fan fell into a gentle place and was happy, Zhu Yunwen fell into a painful entanglement.

If you become an emperor, everything will not go well. For example, picking up girls has nothing to do with the emperor's identity. If you can't get enough, you can't get enough, and no one can do anything about it.

At the Mochou Lake, dozens of men dressed in casual clothes stood scattered from afar. When pedestrians passed by, the men stepped forward without a trace and drove away the pedestrians. A quiet and peaceful place by the lake formed a blank area that no one could approach.

The weeping willows have sprouts, lush and green. For the early spring of Jiangnan, a man and a woman stood beside the willow. The handsome face was filled with a sad face, and she was full of worries and was depressed in her chest. She turned her head to look at the woman beside her, and then sighed heavily. The new green in early spring seemed to be unable to melt the severe winter in the man's heart.

In contrast, the woman next to her was much more comfortable. She was wearing a light blue clasped jacket and a light green pleated skirt. A pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water were embroidered at the hem of the skirt, which was swaying and swinging as the skirt was lifelike.

The woman seemed to be the man around her, while taking a deep breath of fresh air beside Mochou Lake, while eating the candied snow dates and other snacks that the man gave her with great care. She enjoyed her eating.

The atmosphere was silent and awkward. The woman seemed to be just coming out to eat snacks, and ignored the man around her. Even when her eyes swept across the man, she treated him as a transparent air, and her eyes flashed without stopping.

Zhu Yunwen's lips trembled, and she wanted to cry...

"Ying'er, Ying'er... can't you really see me?" Zhu Yunwen stretched out five fingers and swayed in front of Huang Ying, looking very unconfident and eager to find a sense of existence.

Huang Ying impatiently patted Zhu Yunwen's shaking hands: "Don't shaking! Are you thinking this girl is blind?"

Zhu Yunwen said with a sad face: "If I don't think you are blind, don't think you are a ghost, okay?"

Huang Ying rolled her eyes hard at him, picked up a candied fruit with her fingers, sent it into her small mouth of the cherry, and then started chewing it...

After another silence, Zhu Yunwen's face turned red. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, slapped his thighs heavily, and shouted: "Ying'er, I...I like you! Do you like me?"

"I don't like it!" Huang Ying refused very simply.

"Why... why?" Zhu Yunwen stamped his feet in an anxious manner.

Huang Ying's mouth was filled with stuff. Hearing the words, he bulged his cheeks, rolled his eyes to the sky, and said, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, how can you say it?"

"Then what kind of person do you like?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with tears.

Stars popped up in Huang Ying's eyes and said in a longing: "The person I like must be very handsome. He can maintain his country through literature and martial arts. He has a noble status and admired him by thousands of people. More importantly, he is as gentle as water and loves as deep as the sea..."

"Ying'er, I have many advantages..." Zhu Yunwen said with a purse.

"That's your business, I didn't like you..."

Zhu Yunwen was dejected and another failed confession. He was so young to the relationship between men and women. It would be great if he could be like Xiao Shidu. I heard that the guy recently married another concubine,... another wife!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen was so angry that his teeth were itchy.

By the Mochou Lake, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were staring at the calm lake in front of him, dazed and dazed. After a while, his expression gradually became calm.

"Ying'er, Xiao Shidu told me before that every girl had a dream of a prince charming in her heart. The man riding a white horse was extremely handsome, holding a sharp sword, slaying demons and eliminating demons and rescuing the princess trapped in the demon tower. From then on, they lived happily together. Xiao Shidu said that this is called a fairy tale. Every girl has a fairy tale in her heart, which is beautiful, but not practical..."

Huang Ying turned her head in surprise and stared at Zhu Yunwen, who had a calm and calm expression, as if she hadn't known him until today.

"Everyone has this thing. Some are high but very empty and cannot be realized in their lifetime. Some are shallow but very practical. Maybe it's just for the sake of food and clothing for a day. The world is rolling in the world and all living beings, we cannot just live in nothingness. It's a fantasy without any foundation. Ying'er, when you look up at the sky and are tired, you might as well lower your head and look at your feet, such as... the duckweed under your feet."

Zhu Yunwen pointed to a piece of green duckweed floating on the water by the lake, and something deep in his eyes was flowing.

"Ying'er, don't you think your dream is like duckweed? Beautiful and fragile. If you step on it gently, it won't sink..."

As he said that, Zhu Yunwen gently tapped the duckweed on the water with his toes.

“…But if you step hard,…ah!!”

thump!

Zhu Yunwen screamed and fell into the lake.

Dozens of casual men scattered around him were panicked when they saw Zhu Yunwen in danger, and jumped into the lake without hesitation and began to salvage.

Huang Ying's eyes were wide open, she covered her mouth in surprise, and she was stunned for a while and didn't respond. She only saw Zhu Yunwen rushing up and down in the water, struggling with her hands and feet...

"I...I understand what you mean. Dreams are like duckweed, and they are unreliable..." Huang Ying stuttered.
