Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

To achieve great things has always been Xue Chengjiao's ambition, and Mingzhen doesn't want to restrict him.

But that matter can indeed be put on the agenda.

......

In the middle of spring in the twenty-first year of Chengming, the counterfeit currency case involved the Eastern Palace, and the Seventh Prince led his men to break into the Eastern Palace to search.

They unexpectedly found something extremely treasonous, so they took the prince to the palace to meet the emperor.

It was the time of the morning court session, and all the officials gathered in the court. The atmosphere in the hall was weird. Everyone looked at each other, and from time to time looked at the two princes standing in the front, each with their own ulterior motives.

It was not until the bright yellow figure stepped into the hall and everyone knelt down that they discovered that the emperor was actually followed by the empress and Concubine Mei.

"Gentlemen, please stand up." The emperor's majestic and deep voice sounded, and everyone stood up and looked up.

The Empress and Concubine Mei were sitting on either side of the Emperor. The Empress was dignified and elegant, without a trace of emotion, while Concubine Mei looked a little timid, but there was excitement in her eyes.

"Since the Ministry of Justice has already investigated the counterfeit currency case, and since you all happen to be gathered here, then let's make the announcement."

The emperor stroked the black jade ring, his eyes dark and his expression unrecognizable.

At this time, the Minister of Justice stepped forward and waved his hand to report: "Your Majesty, after checking the accounts, we found that there are more than 500,000 taels of counterfeit currency in circulation in the capital, and it has even spread to surrounding towns. The mastermind has been arrested. It is Minister Song of the Ministry of Revenue who colluded with Censor Lin, Governor Qi and others, but..."

He didn't dare to look up, and lowered his head even lower, "But it involves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Crown Prince Ming Shiyan immediately knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, this case has absolutely nothing to do with me..."

The Emperor waved his hand to interrupt the Crown Prince and turned his cold gaze to the Seventh Prince. "I heard that Qi'er led the Ministry of Justice to search the East Palace this morning. Qi'er, do you have anything to say?"

He liked this child, but he would not allow him to be clever, let alone to stretch his hands so far. Moreover, the prince was the heir he had been training for twenty years, and he dared to act like this, which was tantamount to challenging his position.

It seems that he did not take the hint given during the game a few days ago to heart.

Ming Shiqi knelt down and spoke respectfully, "I ran into Minister Wang on the way and chatted for a while. I suddenly remembered that some time ago, the East Palace servant Xiao Yuzi had been urging me out of the palace to do some business. His destination was the very place where the counterfeit currency case was seized. This matter was very suspicious. I was afraid that my brother would be framed, so I took the blame and ordered a palace search... Please calm down, Your Majesty. I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Oh?" The emperor sat on the throne, the bright light making it difficult for everyone to see his face. "What did you find?"

Minister Wang of the Ministry of Justice fell to his knees with a thud, his lips trembling as he spoke in a terrified voice, "In addition to the private account books, we also discovered...we discovered that the East Palace actually had a Nine Dragons robe hidden in it!"

The prince has long harbored the intention of rebellion!

A loud noise echoed throughout the court. It turned out that the emperor threw the cup or pot beside him, and it shattered on the ground in the hall.

"Your Majesty, please calm down—"

All the officials knelt down, bowed their heads and held their breath.

......

The spring rain was light and the mist covered the entire capital, which seemed to be a reminder of this huge change.

In one night, the crown prince was deposed and all the people in the Eastern Palace were thrown into jail. The queen took off her hairpin and asked to be deposed, just to save the crown prince's life. However, Concubine Mei was not satisfied because the seventh prince was also under house arrest.

The emperor was furious and his old illness relapsed after he left the court. The imperial doctors were helpless.

Only Mingzhen knew that the emperor's life was coming to an end.

They intend to speed up the process.

Now everything is ready.

......

At the end of March in the 21st year of Chengming, the seriously ill emperor abdicated and became the emperor emeritus. The third prince Ming Shiyuan successfully ascended the throne with the support of Lu Xingzheng.

All the officials were talking about it, and the new emperor was very skilled. He used many methods, such as killing the chicken to scare the monkey, praising first and then killing, and checking and balancing each other. His majesty was like thunder and made people submit. Not to mention that he had a ruthless general Lu Xingzheng by his side. Even the Prince Huai's Mansion and the Xue Mansion took the lead in supporting the new emperor.

The officials who were ready to make a move fell silent and accepted this new emperor who had endured hardships and endured hardships.

Afterwards, under Ling Ling's suggestion, the new emperor promulgated a series of new policies that benefited the country and the people, killed countless corrupt officials, and then rectified the imperial examination system, injecting fresh blood into the Ming Dynasty.

In the late autumn of the 21st year of Chengming, Xue Chengjiao led his troops in a surprise attack, defeated the northern barbarians, and was about to return in triumph.

......

It was late autumn, and a cool breeze blew across the small pond in the harem that was filled with sparse lotus branches and withered lotus leaves. Three people walked past the pond in the sunset, heading towards the imperial garden.

"Ah, it's Shakudama!"

Mingzhen looked at the pure white raccoon with its head held high and tail wagging not far ahead with surprise. He quickly stepped forward and picked up the little guy, scratching Chiyu's chin back and forth curiously.

Chiyu also meowed obediently a few times, and kept rubbing his little head against Mingzhen.

The palace path was deep and long, and the hazy glow of the sunset reflected on her gilded crane cloak with cloud patterns, making it appear radiant and colorful, as if coated with a layer of light glow.

The two people behind him watched this scene with a smile. Not long after, they felt a soft touch under their feet. It turned out to be the other two kittens that Mingzhen raised in the palace, "Wuyun" and "Ajin".

Ever since Ming Shiyuan ascended the throne and Ling Ling became the "nominal" queen, Ming Zhen became increasingly lawless in the palace, and no one dared to stop her from doing anything.

Even the emperor dared to take action.

Ling Ling picked up Wu Yun and said with a smile, "I heard that General Xue will be returning to the capital soon. General Lu, don't you feel any sense of urgency?"

Lu Xingzheng looked at Mingzhen, who was playing with the cat, with a gentle gaze, without blinking. His heart seemed to be filled with a spring of warmth. "I know, but Mingzhen is free. I support her in everything she does. I am lucky to have met her."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Mingzhen's dissatisfied voice coming from the front, "Lu Xingzheng, what are you doing? Can't you see that Ajin is acting like a spoiled child towards you? Why don't you hug him!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzheng looked down and found Ajin under his feet. He quickly picked him up and walked towards Mingzhen.

"Oh, he is truly a role model of male virtue." Ling Ling shook her head and sighed.

Originally, she supported the couple of Ah Zhen and General Xue. But maybe it was because Lu Xingzheng did too well or because she hadn't seen Xue Chengjiao for too long, but she had already changed her mind.

"So, General Xue, please don't let me down..."

Ling Ling curled her lips in a sly smile.

But she still wants to see the Shura Field.

......

The night is low, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

The floating thin clouds moved slowly, and the half moon that was covered by the moon peeked out, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the half-open window.

There were only two faint candles lit in the hall, but fortunately the moonlight like silver frost was shining, making the surroundings much brighter. Although it was still dim, it was enough for Xue Chengjiao, who had excellent night vision.

A tall figure landed in front of the couch in the hall, and the soft bed curtains were lifted. The visitor looked greedily at the sleeping Mingzhen, with deep longing in his eyes.

He almost lost his life twice at the border. When he was seriously injured, he thought of Mingzhen who was waiting for him in the capital, and he seemed to have regained strength.

Fortunately, he successfully defeated the Northern Barbarians and returned to see her with his achievements.

Half asleep and half awake, Mingzhen inexplicably felt a burning gaze staring at her.

This familiar scene...

She quietly half-raised her wet eyelashes to look, and sure enough, she saw that very familiar figure.
