Chapter 743 Growing up(2/2)
Entering Cining Palace, Zhu Cixi saw a beautiful figure watering flowers with her back to him. It was a pot of peonies that were already in full bloom.
When a palace maid saw the emperor's arrival, she was about to step forward to salute, but Zhu Cixi stopped her with a gesture. The palace maid was very smart and guessed the emperor's intention, so she hurriedly left quietly...
Zhu Cixi walked quietly behind Zhang Yan, suddenly reached out and gently hugged Zhang Yan's slender waist from behind, and suddenly a body fragrance hit his nostrils!
Zhang Yan suddenly trembled all over and hurriedly tried to break away, but the man held her tightly and could not break free at all. Zhang Yan's face turned pale in panic and she immediately cursed:
"Bold, you bastard..."
Zhu Cixi nestled his head on Aunt Huang's beautiful back. He didn't say anything and didn't let go. This made Zhang Yan so anxious that she hurriedly opened the hands on her lower abdomen.
Suddenly, she stopped struggling, and a knowing smile appeared on her pretty face...
It turned out that she found that they were a pair of small hands, and they were very familiar, because she had grabbed these small hands more than once.
After a while, Zhang Yan smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, are you going south? You will only come to see Auntie Huang every time before you leave..."
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and gently let go of Aunt Huang:
"Auntie Huang, how did you know it was me?"
Zhang Yan patted Zhu Cixiang's hand gently and said with a smile:
"Although my little hand has grown up, Auntie Huang can still recognize it. Besides, who dares to be so presumptuous except you? You won't be able to act like this when you grow up a few years!"
Zhu Cixi smiled mischievously:
"Why?"
Zhang Yan's smile was more beautiful than a peony flower, and she reached out and pinched Zhu Cixiang's face gently:
"When you grow up, you will become a man. Men and women cannot have sex!"
Zhu Cixi smiled:
"Hey, how old do you need to be to become a man? Eighteen, twenty, thirty, or..."
Zhang Yan suddenly realized something, a blush flew over her pretty face, and she said hurriedly:
"Stop making trouble, have you had lunch? Auntie Huang asked someone to arrange it!"
Zhu Cixi scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"I just had lunch at my mother's place. How are you doing, Auntie Huang?"
"Well, it's good. With such a talented and strategic Emperor Shenwu here, the Emperor's aunt is very proud of your Emperor's uncle. Now he is carefree and happy!"
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered Emperor Zhengde's southern tour and said hurriedly:
"The emperor is going south soon, right? You must pay attention to safety. It is best to use your own boat to cross the river..."
Zhu Cixi nodded:
"Thank you, Auntie Huang. The Ming Dynasty has three fleets. There will be no problems going south. I came here today to say goodbye to Auntie Huang. If Auntie Huang is lonely, she should go to Kunning Palace more frequently..."
Zhang Yan nodded and looked at Emperor Shenwu, who was about the same height as her, and said seriously:
"The emperor is already twelve years old, and the draft will begin soon. The emperor's aunt and your mother are going to select a few maids to accompany you first? Otherwise, they won't know how to handle personnel after the draft..."
Zhu Cixiang was immediately stunned. He opened his mouth wide and did not say a word for a long time. Finally, he waved his hand to Zhang Yan and ran away without looking back...
What was the most desired position in ancient times? Of course it was the emperor. The emperor had supreme power, and no one dared to disobey the emperor's orders.
But can the emperor really do whatever he wants? In fact, otherwise, the emperor will also be restricted. From the selection of concubines, many people are envious.
But the emperor really doesn't necessarily like to hold special elections every year. After all, his energy is limited.
However, the emperor's heir is a big deal and cannot be controlled by the emperor, so the emperor is exposed to rain and dew just to spread the branches and leaves.
In order to train their princes, many emperors would let their maids sleep with them. This was a process that every prince had to go through. Some princes would even be tried for marriage when they were more than ten years old.
In the eyes of us modern people, teenagers are still just children. They have not yet matured and have to learn how to do that. The only way to do that is to have a trial marriage with a palace maid.
He is not yet an adult and his body is not mature in all aspects, so sleeping with a palace maid too early is actually very harmful to the prince's health.
But the views in the past were different from now. In order for the prince to understand the affairs of men and women as early as possible and to have more children in the future, he slept with the maid early.
Therefore, even if they are pampered in the palace, their life span is generally not too long.
And the maids of the emperor's princes are even more miserable. Their innocence is gone and they still cannot get a status.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang is a time traveler and a person who sticks to his word. His marriage cannot be arranged like many emperors in ancient times.
