At this moment, Du Ruyue caught up with him and took Zhu Zaihou's hand.
An intoxicating fragrance assaulted his senses…
――
In Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Du said to an old palace maid,"Zhu, do you think His Majesty will like Ruyue?”
The old palace maid smiled and said,
"Empress Dowager, you don't have to worry. Eldest Young Miss is devastatingly beautiful. His Majesty will definitely like her.
"This widow's heart…is still very nervous. Why don't we choose a few more beautiful women from the people to enter the palace to take a look…"
"Empress Dowager, there has been a G Storm outside the palace recently.”
"Those important officials of the Imperial Court all want to send their daughters to the Palace. This is something that we have to guard against.”
"Let them be, this widow can't control it. As long as the emperor likes someone, that is something this widow can't control…"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Ah Cai, go to Bamboo Lake Garden and see how His Majesty and Eldest Miss are doing.
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Du Ruyue's personal servant girl jogged all the way to Yuhu.
At her age, she was at her most lively and adorable.
"Your Majesty, I started dancing when I was six years old. I know a little bit of the dance of the Western Regions.”
"Today, it was my aunt who told me to dance. She said that Your Majesty was coming to Cining Palace.”
It was as normal as it could be for people to climb higher.
――
Qi Jiguang had a long sword hanging on his waist as he looked at the sea with bright eyes.
The deputy general at the side said excitedly to Qi Jiguang,"
"General Qi was young and valiant. He led 5,000 soldiers and repelled 30,000 Japanese pirates.”
"With General Qi in Dengzhou, the pirates can forget about crossing the line!”
Since the invasion of Dengzhou, Qi Jiguang had been leading five thousand soldiers to fight against the Japanese.
The number of fleeing Japanese pirates reached 30,000 at most.
The small Dengzhou Guard was in danger.
It was Qi Jiguang who turned the tide and led his men to fight a bloody battle. He defended Dengzhou and forced the pirates to flee to the sea.
In the current Empire, the Ming Navy from when Zheng He went to the West was no longer around.
The Ming Empire lacked warships that could fight.
It was easier said than done to annihilate the pirates at sea, and they could only sigh in despair.
After listening to the deputy general's words, Qi Jiguang did not have the slightest joy, but said solemnly,"
"This general is just a small merit, not worth mentioning. I heard that Yu Huatian was ordered to go to the enemy's lair alone, I wonder how the situation is?”
"Yes, General Qi, but…"
"But what? What happened?" Qi Jiguang anxiously threw out a series of question marks.
"Actually, it's not that I can't say it, but this matter is very important. I can't reveal it now. I hope General Qi can forgive me.
Hearing the deputy general's words, his expression showed some respect.
Qi Jiguang knew that the deputy general was also the supervisor of the East Chamber.
He didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so he sighed and said,"
――
Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Du had spent a lot of effort to send her niece Du Ruyue into the palace.
Dressed in a white robe, reciting poems, and dancing were all thought of by Imperial Consort Li.
In order to attract the Emperor's attention, Empress Dowager Du had racked her brains.
Compared to the other beautiful women, Du Ruyue had entered the palace directly.
There were also ministers who recommended their daughters or beauties from their families…
By the lake, Zhu Zaihou and Du Ruyue had spent more than two hours together. They were no longer strangers.
"Come, stand in front of zhen and let zhen take a good look.”
Zhu Zaihou pulled Du Ruyue over and let her stand in front of him.
Under close observation, Zhu Zaihou found that she did have a beautiful appearance.
She gave Zhu Zaihou the feeling of a clear mountain spring.
Du Ruyue was also secretly looking at Zhu Zaihou. The person standing in front of her was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
He was the ruler of the Ming Empire.
Zhu Zaihou had a very unique intuition in his heart that this girl was not that afraid of him.
Compared to the others, she looked at Zhu Zaihou with respect, but more of it was admiration.
Although the beauty was beautiful, to Zhu Houxi, there were many things in the world that needed to be done, and strong enemies were all around.
The Japanese pirates were still causing trouble at the border, so how could he be in the mood to indulge in the gentleness?
