If there were more capable ministers like Mr. Yuan, how much easier would I be? Even without the foresight of cheating devices, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't have ended up like it did in history, right?
Zhu Youxiao sighed and wrote a reply to Teacher Yuan, promising him to immediately transfer troops from Tianjin to Lushun to be on standby.
With the port of Lushun and the foundation of Dalian, the war in Liaodong has entered a new stage.
Liaozhen, Luda, and Dengzhen behind them, together with the Dongjiang headquarters, formed a three-sided pincer attack on the Jiannu. In short, the strategic initiative was now in the hands of the Ming army.
But the initiative is one thing, and destroying the slaves and pacifying the Liao still cannot be rushed. Even if you are anxious, you have to hold back.
After Zhu Youxiao finished writing the secret letter to Teacher Yuan, he stretched himself, stood up, strolled out of the hall, and came to the warm room.
Outside the door, the emperor heard the woman's giggling laughter. Who else could be so happy except Li Chengcheng playing with the little cat?
As he stepped in, Zhu Youxiao saw Xiaobai, who was entangled by six little fur balls, jumped onto the cat tree and lay lazily on the wooden branch as if relieved.
One naughty child can drive adults crazy, let alone six. Zhu Youxiao expressed deep sympathy for Xiaobai and smiled warmly at the little fur ball surrounding the cat tree.
The little fur balls are so cute and adorable that any normal person would like them and want to hold them in their arms and hug them as much as they want.
"Your Majesty." Li Chengcheng bowed and, without waiting for the emperor to say to stand, pointed at the little fur ball and said with a smile, "Look, the little kitten pestered its mother so much that she ran away."
Zhu Youxiao chuckled, walked to the cat tree, picked up Xiaobai, and sat down on the chair. Immediately, six little fur balls surrounded the emperor's feet, playing and jumping, and meowing from time to time.
If I had six naughty kids, I'd probably be annoyed too, right? Zhu Youxiao gently stroked Xiaobai, imagining whether he would be the same in the future.
A little furry ball mischievously jumped onto the emperor's shoes, raised its two front paws and grabbed the emperor's clothes, trying to climb up.
Li Chengcheng smiled and squatted down, picked up the little fur ball and continued to stand beside the emperor.
With his left hand, he stroked Xiaobai, who was lying on his thigh enjoying a leisurely moment of love. Zhu Youxiao opened his right arm, hugged Li Chengcheng's slender waist, and pinched the soft flesh between the girl's waist and buttocks with his fingers.
Li Chengcheng's face felt a little hot, but she didn't refuse in her heart. She moved closer to the emperor imperceptibly, so that the emperor's arms could be wrapped around her waist more comfortably.
A palace maid who doesn't want to be an empress is not a good palace maid. Warming the bed and sleeping together are the only differences between Zhu Youxiao and Li Chengcheng.
Zhu Youxiao admired his own perseverance, even though it was only two or three times. He reviewed memorials until late at night and was so sleepy that he wanted to fall asleep.
Xiaobai suddenly moved, stood on the emperor's thigh, meowed, and jumped down.
It turned out to be a naughty little ball of fur that ran to the door, as if wanting to go outside and see the new world.
Zhu Youxiao smiled. Although this mother cat was sometimes annoyed, she still cared for her baby in her heart.
Xiaobai ran away, and Zhu Youxiao's thighs could not be left empty, so he exerted a little force with his arms and hugged the soft body in his arms.
"Your Majesty..." Li Chengcheng called very softly, then leaned obediently on the emperor's shoulder.
"Hmm?" Zhu Youxiao responded with a nasal sound. He slightly closed his eyes, pressed his face against the girl's body, and greedily sniffed her fragrance.
Outside the palace, birds chirped. The weather had warmed up, and two birds had built a nest in a large tree outside the palace. Zhu Youxiao didn't mind their noise, and he didn't ask the palace maids to chase them away.
Zhu Youxiao felt very comfortable with the birdsong and body fragrance, and his hands became active and enthusiastic.
……………………
Shaoyingyuan.
Because it is separated from the West Garden, there are water, trees, and birds. The environment is quite beautiful, and it looks more fresh and natural than the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the morning's class. The students emerged from the classroom, their laughter and laughter like birds free, as they ran towards the cafeteria.
May packed her schoolbag calmly and walked out slowly behind her classmate who was obviously half a head taller than her.
The looks of surprise, curiosity and doubt were always there, just like when she first walked into the advanced classroom.
But she didn't care at all. She only wanted to win the agreement with Wansui and make Wansui accept her request.
"May, May--" Zhao Dabao was the first to run out of the lower-level classroom and ran to the higher-level classroom to wait. When he finally saw May, he immediately ran over happily.
Wu Yue took a look and asked, "Zhao Dabao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Dabao nodded vigorously and handed over a straw cricket toy. He was very good at this; it was how he used to cheer up his sister when they were little.
May first looked at the well-made toy before reaching out to take it and saying, "Give it to me. Thank you!"
Zhao Dabao smiled, genuinely happy, and then followed Wu Yue to the cafeteria. As they walked, he asked, "Wu Yue, why did you suddenly end up in the advanced class? Can you understand their lessons?"
Wu Yue tilted her head to look at Zhao Dabao and said, "I can understand a little bit. I should be able to understand it after reading the book when I go back."
"You're amazing," Zhao Dabao said in admiration. He gave a thumbs-up to Xiao Wuyue, who was half a head shorter than him. Then he scratched his head and said shyly, "I had a hard time learning even in the lower-level classes!"
Wu Yue fiddled with the straw cricket and said casually, "If you work hard, you will learn well." Turning to look at Zhao Dabao, she added, "I'm different from you. I have an agreement with the Emperor. I must win."
