Volume 2: Soaring! The Overlord of the Region Chapter 329 Zhu Youdong Got Married
July 18, 1617 was Zhu Youdong's wedding day.
Although in his own opinion, the country was at war at the moment, and the initial situation was not very good , and he had many things to take care of, so it was really not the right time to discuss the issue of marriage. However, as the country's only crown prince, his marriage was not his own decision.
Are you kidding me? Grandson, you are already 17 years old and you are still not married? This is a serious irresponsibility to the country and its subjects! In fact, if you hadn't been in mourning for the death of the Queen Mother, you should have been married two years ago!
Therefore, although Zhu Youdong had been busy with state affairs these days, he could not resist his own mother, Concubine Zheng and others, as well as Wanli who was no longer involved in specific affairs. Therefore, when the mourning period of Empress Dowager Li was over in the 27th month, his wedding date came quickly.
The etiquette of a royal wedding was so complicated that even Zhu Youdong's young body almost fell apart after being manipulated all day.
At nine o'clock in the evening of that day, Zhu Youdong finally returned to Xinghua Palace accompanied by eunuchs such as Fang Zhenghua.
"Huh~" After a long sigh, Zhu Youdong said to Fang Zhenghua, "Go to Concubine Liu first and tell her that I need to sit in Concubine You's room first. I'll be there in twenty minutes at most."
"Yes, I will obey your command."
Although he had a girlfriend before he traveled through time, as a loser, Zhu Youdong had never enjoyed the happiness of having two wives. At this time, he was not used to marrying two wives all of a sudden.
"You? Ah, my husband, no no, Your Highness, why did you come to me, uh, no, why did you come to my place? Shouldn't you go to Sister Liu's room tonight? Uh, I'm not polite, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Haha~" After waving his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids go out and close the door, Zhu Youdong walked to Youyi, gently stretched out his hand, and took her up.
"According to etiquette, I must stay with Concubine Liu tonight. But when I think about you coming to the palace from home all of a sudden, and you have to spend your first night alone in an unfamiliar place, I feel a little guilty. So, before I go to Concubine Liu's place, I come here to talk to you first."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Although she was a tomboy before entering the palace, playing around with other boys in the military town, when her hands were pinched by the man in front of her, her cheeks quickly turned red.
"Your Highness, please take a seat . I didn't expect Your Highness to come over tonight, so I will..."
"It's nothing. I'm very tired right now. I just need some water to drink."
"Oh, okay. I will go make tea for Your Highness right away."
"Hey, now that you have entered the palace, you have to get used to the change in your status. These things are not what you should do anymore."
After saying this, Zhu Youdong raised his voice and said to the outside of the door: "Someone, go get me a pot of hot tea."
Hearing the maid's answer outside the door, You Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "Your Highness, you have been busy all day today, you must be very tired? Let me give you a massage?"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. This is my job."
Then Youyi stood up and stood behind Zhu Youdong. He let Zhu Youdong's head rest on his chest. Then he gently pressed his hands on Zhu Youdong's temples and began to rub slowly.
"Hey, this technique and strength are quite good."
"I have a relative who is a military doctor. I learned a little when I was a child."
"Hmm..." Enjoying the soft hands on his head, Zhu Youdong closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it okay for me to chat with you like this?"
"good."
"Hmm... How old are your parents? What are they doing now? What arrangements has the court made for them after we get married?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My father..."
Oh, this evil feudal society, it actually forced me to get married first and then fall in love. And I have to fall in love with two people at once...
After a simple "household registration check", Zhu Youdong raised a hand and gently patted Youyi's arm: "Let's stop here today. Although I firmly believe that Concubine Liu is not a jealous person. But if you stay here for a long time tonight , there will be too much gossip in the palace, which will not be good for your future. I will go over now."
"Your Highness!"
"It's okay, just stay here with peace of mind. After a while, you'll find that I'm actually a very easy-going person."
"Yes, I will send you off, Your Highness."
Xinghua Palace itself is not big, and many rooms have been turned into various meeting rooms and offices by Zhu Youdong. Therefore, after his wedding, although Liu Yun and You Yi were each assigned a separate courtyard, the distance between the two courtyards was not far. Zhu Youdong left here, and in just three or five minutes, he appeared in front of Liu Yun.
After the couple greeted each other, Liu Yun shyly spread a piece of white silk on the bed, and then with a blushing face, she handed Zhu Youdong a picture book.
"Hahahaha~~" As a time traveler, Zhu Youdong had no interest in reading this seriously distorted "enlightenment" textbook. After taking the book, he gently placed it on the table. Then he pulled Liu Yun into his arms with his right hand: "My beloved, are you sleepy? If not, come and talk to your husband first?"
"Ah? Your Highness?"
"This is the second time I've met you. In total, we haven't spoken more than ten sentences, right?"
"Yes." Nodding shyly in Zhu Youdong's arms, Liu Yun said, "Then please let me go, Your Highness, and let me sit opposite you and talk to Your Highness."
"Hahaha, no need, just say it this way." After Zhu Youdong said this, he picked up Liu Yun, walked to the head of the bed and sat down, then let Liu Yun sit on his legs: "Just say it this way, okay?"
"Um……"
After the couple talked for a while, Liu Yun's tense mood had eased a lot. Then she hesitated for a while and finally said, "Your Highness, I have something else to tell you."
"You tell me."
"I wonder if Your Highness knows that I was able to enter the palace this time thanks to the help of Mr. Cunzhi..."
"I know."
"Then why is your highness still here?"
"You mean why I chose you to be the Crown Prince's Consort? Hahaha." Zhu Youdong smiled softly: "Because when I saw you for the first time, I determined that you are the best choice for the future mother of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Highness~" Liu Yun, who had been extremely shy at first and passively responded to Zhu Youdong's various intimate actions, took the initiative to bury her head in Zhu Youdong's arms this time and rubbed him hard.
"Your Highness, Mr. Cunzhi is a member of the Donglin Party."
"I know."
"Then Your Highness? Your Highness, don't you always hate the Donglin Party?"
"Hahaha, my beloved. Not all the Donglin Party members are bad people. Besides, although you were sent here by the Donglin Party, you are already my legal wife." After saying this, Zhu Youdong's expression became a little more serious: "Do you know who was the person who fought to the last moment for the continuation of the Han Dynasty's ancestral temple at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"
"Well, if I am not mistaken, it should be Empress Xianmu, right?"
"That's right. Empress Xianmu is the daughter of Cao Cao and the sister of Cao Pi. When her brother was about to usurp the throne, she stood against him. Do you know why?"
"Of course Empress Xianmu is the Empress of Emperor Xian. Husband and wife are one. They prosper together and suffer together."
"So, you are already the Crown Prince's Consort. From now on, our fates will be closely tied together. If there is only one person I can trust in the future, it must be you."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your generosity. Please rest assured that with your ability, the Ming Dynasty will only prosper. I will never have to defend the Ming Dynasty alone. However, as long as your Highness needs me, I will do my duty as the Crown Prince's Consort."
"Well, I have made arrangements for this. From now on, you and You Yi must take time to attend classes at the medical department of Fangshan School. When necessary, you must represent me to visit the soldiers in the army to comfort them."
"Ah? Your Highness, can I leave the palace on weekdays?"
"Of course you can. Xinghua Palace is so small. You stay in this place all day long. Do you want to name every floor tile here? " Patting Liu Yun's hand, Zhu Youdong raised his head and said leisurely: "People always have to do something of their own, otherwise they will be busy when they are too idle. Throughout the dynasties, the struggles in this palace are not much better than the power struggles outside the court. The reason is that the concubines are too idle."
Zhu Youdong lowered his head and said seriously: "I will definitely not follow Emperor Xiaozong's example of having only one woman in his life. But please rest assured, my beloved concubine, even if I ascend the throne in the future, there will not be more than ten people in this palace."
"Your Highness, I was repeatedly taught before entering the palace. Even if a farmer gets an extra three or five bushels of rice, he still thinks about whether he can give his wife the best of both worlds. What's more, it's Your Highness? Therefore, I will not be dissatisfied in this regard. I just ask Your Highness not to forget the old ones when you have new ones in the future."
"Hahaha~~ What old friend? You and I are both new tonight! Come on, my beloved, it's getting late. Shall we stop talking here today?"
"Yeah." Liu Yun, who had slowly let go, blushed again. Then she raised her head and pointed her finger at the table not far away: "Your Highness, that book..."
"No, why would I need something like that, hahaha~~~"
