Ming Dynasty: Empress Ma and I swapped clothes!

Chapter 65 Zhu Yuanzhang, the Wife-Handed Emperor

Only after Zhu Biao's figure completely disappeared from sight did Zhu Yuanzhang snort lightly: "Even without you, Biao, are we really incapable? It's just about wooing a girl, we can definitely manage on our own."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, then took a deep breath and waited for the sweat in his palms to dry before stepping into the Kunning Palace.

"Girl."

Zhu Yuanzhang forced a bright smile, holding up the food box and cheering, "Look what we made for you! Flatbread and spicy soup. Sister, this is good stuff!"

He carried the lunch he had brought from the Imperial Kitchen, and a wave of nostalgia washed over him. He walked up to Ma Xiuying and began to reminisce: "I remember back in Haozhou, whenever we had free time, we would eat these local delicacies with you. Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I've tasted them. Thanks to you today, I finally have the chance."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, but Ma Xiuying remained silent.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma: "Sister, please don't stay silent, okay? We really know we were wrong this time. Sister, if you don't say anything, it hurts us terribly."

He continued to reason with her and appeal to her emotions, when Ma Xiuying suddenly spoke up: "Aren't you going to bring the sesame cakes over yet? Have you sprinkled sesame seeds on them?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! What kind of sesame seed cake is it if it's not sprinkled with sesame seeds? It'll taste bland and tasteless. How could we not have thought of that?"

"I guarantee I'll make sure you're completely at my beck and call."

"Hahaha, now that the girl has eaten it, she can't be angry anymore."

Seeing Ma Xiuying begin to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a smug laugh.

However, the next moment, Ma Xiuying gave him a cold look, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that he had gone too far in his smugness. He quickly covered his mouth and shut it up.

From a distance, it looks just like a pitiful little puppy.

"Alright, let's leave what happened before as it was."

Ma Xiuying put down her chopsticks and said, "If you do it again, we'll settle the score then."

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded quickly.

At this moment, he didn't care about the future; getting through this hurdle was already a great blessing.

Next, the couple had a long talk.

When Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of Kunning Palace, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.

He returned to the Wuying Hall, strutted around proudly, and shouted, "Biao'er, your sister isn't angry anymore. See? We've been sincere to your mother, and she sees it all. Of course, she wouldn't blame us."

"Uh-huh."

Zhu Biao chuckled, finished dealing with the memorial in his hand, and put it aside before slowly saying, "Now Father Emperor doesn't have to worry anymore."

Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang feigned anger: "Nonsense. How could we be worried sick? I am the Emperor."

Zhu Biao simply smiled at this.

What kind of person is my father, the emperor?

As the son, he had the most right to speak, so he just smiled and remained silent.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he felt very uncomfortable, and although he wanted to refute it, he really couldn't say anything.

We finally managed to smooth things over, and now if something goes wrong again...

His brain must be about to explode.

He picked up the daily logbook beside him and glanced at it, thinking to himself, if even the domestic affairs are not peaceful, how can he handle the important national affairs that follow?

Zhu Yuanzhang knew exactly what to do and would never make the same mistake twice.

……

"Your Majesty, it seems that His Majesty has truly realized his mistake."

At Kunning Palace, watching Zhu Yuanzhang's hasty departure, the two young girls, Su Qing'er and Sun Miaoran, were quite bold and actually started commenting on it.

"It's only because of His Majesty. Others might not treat Her Majesty like this. His Majesty and Her Majesty have a long-standing relationship, and His Highness the Crown Prince is also on Her Majesty's side."

Su Qing'er said, "It's a pity we two servants don't know if we'll ever have the same good fortune as Your Highness?"

As they talked, the two young girls in front of them began to tease each other meaningfully.

They were quite clever; upon learning that the person who had swapped bodies with the empress was a young man of similar age, they also knew who their future husbands would be.

The thought that the person they had been with in the Kunning Palace, and who was sometimes so close to them, was not their own empress, but their future husbands, made both of them blush slightly and their hearts race.

Then.

Their gazes toward Ma Xiuying turned somewhat resentful: "Your Highness, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, Sister Miaoran and I could have made some preparations. Now..."

As they talked, Su Qing'er seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask Ma Wenxiang curiously, "Your Majesty, are you still going to betroth Qing'er and Sister Miaoran to that man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Miaoran also cast a curious glance at him.

Although they were somewhat surprised by what had happened in Kunning Palace in the past few days, they had to admit that they still had a pretty good impression of the previous "Empress".

They were treated extremely well.

If I really do marry into that family in the future.

Based on that person's habits, perhaps they can also live a good life of being a good wife and mother after marriage.

For women, marriage can sometimes feel like a fiery pit; but if the husband's family can cherish them, then this fiery pit is no longer a fiery pit, but a warm bed.

By this time, Ma Wenxiang had already left a good impression on the two women. Marrying him would surely bring them a warm bed rather than a fiery pit, so the two women began to look forward to it.

Not to mention, given how much importance the Empress had placed on this young man, he is sure to achieve great things in the future.

The two women felt even more at ease.

Rather than marrying a stranger, they felt more at ease with the familiar person they had now, and that was their wish.

"What's wrong? Have the two little girls fallen for you?"

Ma Xiuying looked at them with a smile, and the two women immediately became shy and lowered their heads.

Even Sun Miaoran, who is always meticulous, is no exception.

In this day and age, when a daughter meets her future husband's family, marriage is often arranged by parents and matchmakers, and many times she has never even met her future husband before getting married.

In this way...

They are extremely content and lucky.

"That boy has done me such a great favor. He has taught the second, third, fourth, and fifth princes, as well as the other princes in the palace, very well. Especially Biao'er, whose frail body is now as strong as mine."

"Of course I am grateful to him."

Ma Xiuying said slowly, "However, whether to make the wife the main wife or the concubine, Qing'er and Miaoran, it all depends on Wen's wishes."

"The most I can do is arrange your marriages so that you two can be on equal footing and remain as close as possible in the future."
