Zhang Wuji was speechless when asked. He just wondered why he couldn't resist the temptation of Longze and Aoi.
"Zhiruo, I'm sorry for you. Please hit me a few times to vent your anger first."
As he spoke, Zhang Wuji grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's hand and hit himself in the face with all his might.
Zhou Zhiruo was also frightened when she saw this.
"Hey, what are you doing? You are so old, and you are still doing such a thing."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly pulled her hand back with force, but Zhang Wuji had no intention of giving up. Seeing that he couldn't catch Zhou Zhiruo, he used his own hand to slap himself hard in the face.
Zhou Zhiruo was really frightened; "seeing Zhang Wuji humiliating herself like that, she actually used her delicate hands to slap herself hard in the face."
Now, it was Zhang Wuji's turn to be stunned: "Zhiruo, what are you doing? Do you want to make me die of heartache?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "You were the first to humiliate yourself, and you were the first to make me feel sad."
"I just want you to tell me some truth. You are an adult, why are you so nervous? I won't eat you."
"Don't forget, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty now. In the final analysis, I am just your woman. If you want to explain to me, then give me an explanation. If you don't want to say anything to me, then just glare at me. What else can I do to you?"
Zhang Wuji hugged Zhou Zhiruo in his arms; "Zhiruo, these years, I have always felt that I am very sorry for you. I don't know why, but I can't control myself when I see a girl who is slightly prettier. You usually say that I am a lustful man. Even though I don't admit it, I actually agree with this statement."
"But, but I just can't control myself, I'm simply not a human being."
Seeing Zhang Wuji so guilty, Zhou Zhiruo felt extremely distressed. She gently patted Zhang Wuji on the back a few times and said, "Wuji, you blame me for what happened today. You are the emperor now, so it's okay to have a few more women around you. Just like what the queen said, every emperor has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. Since you have already taken the bodies of those two Japanese women, then, I will accept them. However, you are not allowed to think about giving them any status or anything like that. At most, they are just maids."
…
Zhang Wuji felt really guilty today. Zhou Zhiruo comforted him for a long time before he calmed down.
On the beach, the two of them returned to the way they were at the beginning.
"You enemy, don't humiliate yourself anymore. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty now. No one in this world can beat you, not even yourself."
"Did you hear that?"
Zhang Wuji still acted like a child who had done something wrong; "Listen, I heard you, but Zhiruo, you are not allowed to hit yourself in the future. Over the years, I didn't want to hit you once. It hurt me so much when you slapped yourself just now."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo felt a sweet feeling in her heart: "Hmph, as long as you feel sorry for me."
"But you, my darling, were you lying just now?"
Zhang Wuji was shocked again: "Zhiruo, how dare I talk to you? Have I ever been willing to hit you in all these years?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and pointed at her butt: "The night before last, the day you just came back, I begged you not to hit me, but you were still so relentless."
Zhang Wuji instantly became shy: "Zhiruo, I, I couldn't help myself. I won't do that again in the future."
Zhou Zhiruo laughed and said, "Hmph, since you can't help it, why bother to deliberately restrain yourself? Besides, under that situation, I just admitted it reluctantly, so it doesn't count as a good fight."
"I'll just think of it as you using a little more force when you touched me."
…
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji hadn't taken a walk together for a long time, so today they wandered around the beach until the sun set, and then returned home reluctantly.
Zhang Wuji's true feelings today completely upset Zhou Zhiruo. She wanted to take the opportunity to quarrel with Zhang Wuji about the matter of Longze and Aoi, but after Zhang Wuji hit her, Zhou Zhiruo forgot everything.
…
Three days later, at noon, because they slept too late the day before, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger did not get up until noon to change clothes for Zhang Wuji.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "You evil enemy, today is the day when you lead tens of thousands of soldiers to set off, but you were busy until so late yesterday."
Zhao Linger on the side smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Sister Gong knows that we will definitely get up late, so she must have just gathered the soldiers. As for you, you were indeed a little late because of all the trouble last night, but that is not just the young master's fault, aren't you also responsible?"
"Could it be that you became so weak in the knees for no reason?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Linger and said, "Hmph, my legs and feet feel weak because of my own will. I just like the feeling of my bones falling apart. It's none of your business."
…
The two women chatted in unison as they helped Zhang Wuji put on his clothes. When he walked out of the room, he found that several other women were already waiting there.
Gong Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are just about to have lunch now. After lunch, they will start to board the ship. By the time tens of thousands of soldiers have boarded the ship, I'm afraid it will be sunset."
