"Sister! Sister... let me tell you! You know that today we..."

After leaving a study room, Zhu Yuanzhang ran directly towards the harem with a roar.

When he arrived at the harem, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Queen Ma, who was pricking the soles of her shoes with an awl under the light.

The flickering lights made the light on Queen Ma's face flicker.

Only when I heard myself calling, I turned my head to look this way, and the tender light in my eyes was now particularly bright.

"Why did you come back so late today? The food on the table has been heated two or three times. Let's eat something first!"

After seeing that the person coming was Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma naturally put all the female workers in her hands into the basket beside her, then stood up and reached out to test the temperature of the dishes on the table.

"Just in time, the food is still hot. Come over here and eat some first."

At this time, Queen Ma looked like the indescribably precious mother of a country. There was a touch of tenderness unique to mature women in her movements, which made the old Zhu people standing at the door stunned.

To be honest, the conversation he had with Chu Ze in the imperial study room today deeply shocked him mentally.

However, at this moment, looking at Queen Ma, her gentle and virtuous aura spread out with every frown and smile.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Moreover, due to rampant corrupt officials and political corruption, which led to the destruction of his family, he had imagined countless times that he could have a warm little home.

I don’t ask for great wealth, but I ask for a gentle wife who returns home after working hard every day and prepares a table of simple but still warm meals for me.

There are three or five more babies under my knees, watching them grow up little by little.

The warmth and tenderness of a small home can be said to be Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest dream when he was a child.

At this time, he became an emperor and the king of a country.

In Lao Zhu's heart, there is still a touch of desire that belongs only to him.

And this desire can only be obtained from Queen Ma.

The food on the table is very simple and plain.

A bowl of white rice and two side dishes.

Simple, yet fulfilling.

Although it was not a big fish or meat, it made Zhu Yuanzhang curl up with a hint of satisfaction.

"Hey, we girls know how to feel sorry for others! We happen to be hungry too..."

After a brief hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down next to Queen Ma with a smile.

Then he picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table and started to pull them out without any image.

"Oh, why don't you go a little slower? No one will compete with you!"

Although the meal prepared by Queen Ma was only for one table, it was as simple as a home-cooked meal.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be seeing a table of delicacies.

From time to time there was a clanking sound between chopsticks and dishes.

Those who didn’t know better thought he was a refugee who had just returned from the refugee crisis. He had been hungry for several days and finally had a decent meal.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who lacked the majesty of the emperor beside him, Empress Ma's eyes were full of doting.

That’s right, pampering!

At this time, when the old queen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, her eyes were filled with the glory of maternal love.

No matter how old a man is, he is still like a child most of the time.

A little coaxing and pampering will do the trick.

"Hehe, we think this is delicious, and we are hungry! The food cooked by the girl must be delicious! Those royal chefs know how to eat big fish and meat in a day. We have long been tired of eating."

"This baby cabbage is so sweet..."

Facing Queen Ma's reproachful yet doting gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang just raised his head and smiled.

Afterwards, he continued to chew on himself.

A bowl of white rice and two side dishes were left to him to clean up like a storm.

It wasn't until he drank up the last bit of soup at the bottom of the bowl that Lao Zhu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand with satisfaction.

The face that had begun to wrinkle at the temples was now filled with a satisfied smile.

"Sister! We just wanted to tell you something. Come on, don't clean it up yet, let them clean it up, and have a good talk with us!"

Looking at Queen Ma who was about to get up and put away the dishes, Lao Zhu directly stretched out his hand to hold her.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Queen Ma naturally put down her movements.

I took the opportunity to sit next to him.

She looked at Lao Zhu with a smile on her face, waiting for his next words.

However, looking at Queen Ma who was ready to be a listener.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where to start for a while.

Did we meet a time traveler today? Or should we say that our son and eldest grandson are going to be lost?

This... no matter how you put it, it seems a little inappropriate!

Lao Zhu frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak properly.

Queen Ma, who was sitting next to him, didn't mean to urge her at all. She just looked at him quietly, waiting for him to get ready.

"Chongba, what's not to be said between us husband and wife? Let's just say it directly. Why bother being so entangled."

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was hemming and hawing for a long time but couldn't say a word.

Empress Ma simply stretched out her hand gently, and slowly covered the back of Zhu Yuanzhang's hand that sometimes stretched and sometimes clenched due to inner conflict.

Even though Empress Ma is said to be a real lady, she is a lady.

But her hands are not as weak and boneless as those of ordinary ladies from rich families.

On the contrary, Queen Ma's palms looked particularly rough.

Even the calluses in the palms are no less than those of ordinary men's hands.

But it was these rough hands that brought Lao Zhu infinite warmth.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally full of tangles, was held by Queen Ma's hand.

The originally irritable and depressed mood seemed to have gradually calmed down.

Chongba, now only Empress Ma would call him this title!

"Hey...sister, there's nothing we can't say to you! The main thing is that we encountered a rather mysterious thing today!"

After organizing his words slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang held Queen Ma's palm with his backhand.

Two equally rough palms were held together so tightly.

"Let me tell you this, sister! Today, Biao'er suddenly brought a somewhat strange young man to our study room. This young man... As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was from the later generations."

"Can you understand, right? It's the kind of person who was supposed to live hundreds of years later, but for some unknown reason, suddenly returned to our current era."

"He calls this time travel, which means traveling through time and space."
