Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 191 Do You Like Me?

At the beginning of the heavy rain, the soft sunshine poured down on Zhu Youjian's pale face. Spring is a season of susceptibility. In addition, he has never had a day off since June last year, and he has not had a day in recent days. Don't think hard, think hard.

Being an emperor in troubled times has never been an easy task. Its workload is not only that there is no day and night, but as long as it is not sleepy, there will be a steady stream of things happening.

If it weren't for the sudden wind and cold, Zhu Youjian would not be able to lie on the couch when the morning bell rang several times as he is now.

A moment's leisure was a crime to him as an emperor.

Zhu Youjian realized that although he worked hard to strengthen his physique, the physiological function of the human body has a limit after all. If he is not given time to cultivate, he will only be damaged faster.

Fortunately, the basic major events for this year have almost been decided, and the next confrontation with the Qing army naturally does not require him, the emperor, to personally lead the troops to fight the enemy, so he can have more rest time.

There was a faint sobbing sound outside the screen window, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help shouting, "Who is it?"

Chen Yuanyuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked in wearing a moon-white pleated skirt: "Your Majesty has been disturbed by this servant."

"It's okay. Why are you crying outside? Could it be that you miss Wu Sangui?"

Zhu Youjian asked a question.

He knew that Chen Yuanyuan was one of the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River, and he also admitted that she was extremely beautiful, but Zhu Youjian was not going to be a romantic emperor who had all the beauties in the world, and the current situation couldn't make him show more spring flowers and autumn moons Time to experience the joy of men and women.

Zhu Youjian asked Chen Yuanyuan to stay by his side to serve, but it was just to warn Wu Sangui when he moved south.

But Zhu Youjian didn't expect that this stay would allow Chen Yuanyuan to stay in his Qianqing Palace for nearly a year, and she would become the woman with whom he spends the most time.

Youmei is in the same room, and it is naturally fake that they will fall in love soon. Zhu Youjian really likes Chen Yuanyuan very much.

At least, Zhu Youjian was used to Chen Yuanyuan's existence, she was used to undressing herself, and she was used to dozing off while she was dealing with the memorial.

Chen Yuanyuan knelt down hastily, she didn't know why His Majesty mentioned Wu Sangui, to her, Wu Sangui was just her former master.

As for feelings, of course they are just something that literati like to play with. As Chen Yuanyuan, she feels that she is just an object for people to please. She is not qualified to choose a master, and she has even forgotten herself.

And following the emperor Zhu Youjian made her feel different from before. Here, she no longer needs to be pleasing to others, and she doesn't need to be full of resentment, because there are many things waiting for her to do every day.

Ever since she was in charge of Zhu Youjian's daily life, Chen Yuanyuan has had a career she really likes. Serving the emperor is more like a career with a sense of existence to her. She doesn't have to worry about how to please others, she doesn't have to think There is no benefit to being a daughter of a good family anymore, at least now she can do something for the world, so that the ruler of this world can better manage his imperial power.

What's more, following Zhu Youjian's side, she can still gain respect from dignitaries who used to turn a blind eye to her. Whether it is Shi Kefa or Gao Hongtu, they no longer regard her as an ordinary trick at this time.

Now that Zhu Youjian suddenly mentioned Wu Sangui, Chen Yuanyuan felt the danger of being sent away or given to death. She has been in the central place for a long time, and she also knows that the imperial court is about to confront the Qing court in the north. The north unified the south, so now Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help worrying that Zhu Youjian would ask this question because he was worried that if the court was defeated, he would return to Wu Sangui himself.

"Your Majesty! This servant begs His Majesty not to let this servant leave His Majesty!"

After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, tears flowed like rain, and she kowtowed to Zhu Youjian desperately, as if she was begging Zhu Youjian for something, and she was indeed begging, because Zhu Youjian could bring her a dignity that she couldn't have in normal times. This kind of dignity not only comes from the courtiers and concubines in the harem, but also from the respect for oneself in one's own heart.

"Your Majesty has been inseparable for a moment. When it is cold, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be cold. When it is hot, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be hot. When the sun sets, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be hungry. At that time, the servants were afraid that His Majesty would be thirsty. When His Majesty went to the morning court, the servants were afraid that His Majesty would quarrel with the courtiers again. I'm afraid His Majesty will be tired!"

Chen Yuanyuan cried, and Zhu Youjian's sudden fainting yesterday gave her a great shock. She suddenly realized that if Zhu Youjian did not exist, she would have no meaning of existence. I don't know when I have linked the meaning of my life with Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian looked at her lovely and pitiful appearance, and didn't know what to say for a moment. All he thought about was when he could possess her, but Chen Yuanyuan thought about whether he could stay by his side for a little longer, a little more. stable.

Zhu Youjian felt that he was not that great. The safety of China, the life and death of the country, the lives of thousands of Han people, were just his words to persuade himself and others. His true nature was still just to survive, and It is to live better, but sometimes there are too many lies, and I will believe it, I will believe that I am really great, and even bring the people around me to believe in myself, and feel proud of it.

"Get up, I didn't say I want you to leave me, why are you crying, but it's true that I will think of Wu Sangui when I see you, and he has a share of the credit for how tired I am now!"

Zhu Youjian closed his eyes slightly as he spoke: "Tell me, why were you hiding and crying just now?"

"It's nothing, I just saw that His Majesty was tired and sick, and my slaves were in a panic. I always feel that it's more comfortable to cry." Chen Yuanyuan pouted her lips instinctively as she spoke, her eyes widened with affection, showing a natural charm, which made her feel more comfortable. Zhu Youjian couldn't help but raise an evil fire.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help asking: "Have you fallen in love with me?"

Chen Yuanyuan's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly knelt down again: "I don't dare!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You like me. I'm very happy. I won't do anything to you." Zhu Youjian looked at Chen Yuanyuan again as he said: "You like me ?"
