Chapter 449: Back to Beijing
Emperor Tianqi walked in front. Behind Emperor Tianqi were two maids with their faces covered. Behind them were Chen Lin and Dang Han. A group of five people boarded the lucky ship along the gangplank between the two ships.
As soon as he boarded the lucky boat, Emperor Tianqi saw a beautiful figure not far away, a group of people dressed in white, with long hair blowing in the river wind. He looked at Emperor Tianqi and his party with a smile, like plum blossoms with cold reading ability.
, making people dare not have the heart to blaspheme!
I didn't expect that this Ouyang Dongye was so beautiful. I didn't think it when I saw her last time. Now she is dressed in women's clothes, which is really exciting. Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but think in his heart, why didn't he choose him when he was choosing his concubine?
At this point, Emperor Tianqi wronged the official who drafted the girls. At this time, although he did not ask the emperor not to marry the daughter of an official family, his life experience still needed to be found out. Only daughters of innocent families can be regarded as show girls.
In terms of qualifications, it is best to be from a scholarly family. As for the Qinhuai River, even the pretty ones would not dare to choose among the nuns, as that would cost them their heads.
"Brother Bai, it's not that I mean to deceive you. I really have to be careful when going out. I'm here to apologize to Brother Bai!" She walked up to Emperor Tianqi and gave him a gentle support. Saint White Lotus spoke softly.
road.
Looking at the other party, a trace of hesitation flashed across Emperor Tianqi's face. The other party called himself little sister, so he couldn't go up directly! He waved his hand, and Emperor Tianqi chuckled and said: "Miss, that's serious. I think I used a pseudonym as Miss."
?I wonder if Bai is honored to know the lady’s name?”
Covering her lips and smiling, Saint White Lotus said apologetically: "It's my fault that I was negligent. Brother Bai, don't blame me. My surname is Ouyang and my given name is Hanchu! If Brother Bai doesn't dislike it, you can call me Sister Ouyang!"
Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled, and took a deep look at Ouyang Hanchu. Such women are rare in this era! He nodded with a smile, and Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Brother Yu is so abrupt! Don't take it off, little sister!"
"It seemed that the title was too intimate, so Emperor Tianqi just called her little sister!
"Brother Bai, this is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk!" Saint White Lotus looked at the people behind Emperor Tianqi, her expression did not change at all, and she said softly.
"Then Brother Yu is so annoying!" Emperor Tianqi smiled and nodded, saying politely.
The group of people walked along the deck and walked into the cabin. The cabin was very elegantly decorated, with a rosewood table and fine porcelain placed on it. There were several bead curtains hanging in the room, all of which were pearls of well-proportioned sizes. The wooden walls
There are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a light fragrance fills the room.
Emperor Tianqi nodded. This arrangement was not only luxurious, but also very elegant. Perhaps this was low-key luxury!
"The place is a little shabby. Brother Bai, please don't dislike it. Please take a seat!" She smiled and made an invitation gesture to Emperor Tianqi. Saint White Lotus turned to the maid behind her and said: "Bring me my tea set. I want it today.
Let Brother Bai try my little sister’s craftsmanship!”
After sitting down, Emperor Tianqi quickly waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's really a great fate to see my little sister again today. Let's have a good chat! As for these things, it's better to let the two people behind me do it.
! Their craftsmanship is quite good, so my little sister can help Brother Yu train them!" As he said this, Emperor Tianqi winked at the two maids behind him, and the meaning was naturally very obvious.
Glancing at the two masked maids, Saint White Lotus flashed a strange look in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai is so lucky. These two maids look like the most beautiful people in the world. I'm afraid you can't find them in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
Not a few!"
"I'm not afraid of my little sister's jokes. Brother Yu, I don't know what these two maids look like. Brother Yu has never seen them. They have been wearing veils since they were young. They can only take them off after they get married. Brother Yu is not so lucky!" Emperor Tianqi!
He seemed very disappointed and frowned.
Looking the two sisters up and down again, Saint White Lotus looked a little wary in her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Bai can take them in as soon as possible! Not everyone can enjoy the blessing of being together!"
After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi smiled bitterly and said: "Little sister, let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Yu doesn't know what to say! I wonder where little sister is going this time? Is there anything Brother Yu can do to help? Little sister
But there’s no harm in talking!”
"To be honest with Brother Bai, my little sister is going to the capital this time, just to visit relatives, so there is no need to bother Brother Bai! I just haven't asked Brother Bai where his family name is?" Saint White Lotus said with a sincere face and a smile.
"Brother Yu is from the capital and has been a businessman for generations, so he is not worth mentioning!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hands with caution in his eyes, as if he did not want to mention his family affairs!
The two people kept testing each other, but neither one wanted to say anything more. As the sun set, Emperor Tianqi said goodbye and returned to his ship.
"How's it going? What did you find?" Emperor Tianqi chatted with Dang Han and others while eating dinner.
"Your Majesty, I took a look at the servants who were wearing them. They walked steadily and had indifference in their eyes. They are no ordinary boatmen. It can be seen that they all have martial arts skills. Although they are not smart, they are not comparable to others. Singles.
If you fight alone, the accompanying guards will be worse!" Dang Han saluted Emperor Tianqi and said in a respectful tone.
Chen Lin on the side nodded in agreement and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the servants have also noticed that although it seems that there are more than a dozen boatmen behind them, there must be more than just these people wearing them. There is an old boatman among them, who seems to be one of these people.
On his head, I can tell that it is a master of the Eagle Claw Technique."
Emperor Tianqi was stunned, looked at Chen Lin with interest, and said with a smile: "I remember that you also practice the Eagle Claw Kung Fu. I wonder who is more powerful in a fight?"
Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Chen Lin's face turned red, but he still said seriously: "Back to the emperor, I am no match for that man. If you dare to fight alone, my godfather may be able to fight with that man!"
For a moment, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Chen Lin to say that. He nodded and said to Dang Han on the side: "Dang Aiqing, I know that you are also skilled in martial arts, but I don't know that you have no chance of winning?"
"Back to the emperor, I don't know this. I'm afraid I won't know until I fight him!" Dang Han shook his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say something or not?"
"Say it!" Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Emperor Tianqi looked at Dang Han and said in a deep voice.
Frowning and thinking about the wording, Dang Han said slowly: "Your Majesty, those people are definitely not good people. They look very dangerous. For the sake of the country and the country of Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty should not go on that ship. If it is true,
If something happens, I will be held responsible for my death!"
After being slightly stunned, Emperor Tianqi nodded. At this time, he felt that his actions were a bit reckless! He smiled and said to Dang Han: "What Aiqing said makes sense, but the identities of these people must be found out. I will leave this matter to Dang Han."
Aiqing is here to do it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely do what I have the authority to do, and I will never let down His Majesty's trust!" Dang Han said with joy on his face as he knelt down in the tunnel.
There was no communication between the two ships along the way, as if what happened that day had never happened. They arrived at the dock in Beitongzhou that day. Without stopping at all, Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace without disturbing anyone.
At this time, two months had passed since Emperor Tianqi left the capital. However, everything was calm in the capital, except for Huang Taiji's affairs.
"Your Majesty, you are finally back!" Wang Chengen knelt in front of Emperor Tianqi, his face covered with tears. These days he was in fear, he couldn't eat well, and he couldn't sleep well!
"Yes! I'm back. Get up! Is there anything going on in the palace?" Emperor Tianqi put on his dragon robe, looked at the splendid palace, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally I thought this place was a bit depressing, but when I returned here again, Emperor Tianqi felt particularly comfortable. Maybe this is the feeling of home!
"Back to the Emperor, everything is well in the palace, and so are all the empresses! The Empress is about to give birth, and it's just the right time for the Emperor to come back!" Wang Chengen rambled on about everything in the palace like Emperor Tianqi, with a sad look on his face.
It was gone, replaced by a look of joy.
Emperor Tianqi is the backbone of the palace. Even if he does nothing every day, it will make people feel at ease. This is the role of the emperor!
Originally planning to go see Luo Sigong, or to discuss matters with the ministers, Emperor Tianqi has now changed his mind! Glancing at Wang Chengen beside him, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "According to my will, I have already left the country, and there will be a meeting tomorrow!"
"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go right away!" Wang Chengen's face lit up with joy, he turned around and ran out!
Looking at Chen Lin on the side, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Go to Cining Palace, I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother first!"
After staying with the Queen Mother for a while, Emperor Tianqi arrived at Kunning Palace. He had not seen her for two months. Emperor Tianqi also missed Empress Zhang very much.
The moment she saw Emperor Tianqi, Queen Zhang's eyes suddenly blurred, and she looked at Emperor Tianqi in a daze.
"Baozhu, I'm here to see you!" Emperor Tianqi was also quite emotional. He walked to Emperor Tianqi's side and gently stroked Queen Zhang's hair!
"Your Majesty, I'm rude!" As he said this, he was about to salute Emperor Tianqi, his voice trembling extremely hard!
Pulling Empress Zhang, Emperor Tianqi stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Empress Zhang's face, and said with an apologetic tone: "I neglected the orb, don't blame me for the orb! You are pregnant, so these false gifts will be dispensed with in the future.
Come on!"
"I have saluted you. The emperor is doing this for national affairs. How can I blame the emperor? I am satisfied to see the emperor's dragon body in good health. This is my blessing!" Queen Zhang's face showed a smile.
Smiling, but still sobbing constantly.
"It's my fault. I will stay by Baozhu's side during this period. Okay, don't cry. It won't be good if you have fetal gas! I'm still waiting for Baozhu to give me a prince!" Emperor Tianqi
