Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 466: King Anhua

Zhu Youjun didn't believe that Chen Ce, a mere businessman, could ride on the same ship with Emperor Hongzhi.

That's why he used words to test Chen Ce's identity.

Chen Ce smiled and said, "I am not an official of the court, Your Majesty, please do not address me as such."

Zhu Youqiu gave Chen Ce a penetrating look. Was he being modest, or was it because his official position was not suitable to be disclosed to the public? Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Neichang?
But no matter how poor the two factories and one guardhouse were, they would not choose a seriously ill person to be in charge.

Zhu Youqiu couldn't understand it.

There were still many things he couldn't figure out. If he knew that the fair-skinned and gentle young man sitting in front of him had been calculating the interests of them, the royal family princes, and depriving them step by step of their comfortable living space in the Ming Dynasty, he would probably not be so gentle to Chen Ce.

Of course, what he didn't know was that these vassal brothers who were still smiling now would probably never smile again after they arrived at the Japanese island!
……

On the deck of the ship, Xiaohua looked at the sea for a long time and felt a little seasick. After vomiting for a while, she no longer had time to appreciate the sea view and went straight back to her room to sleep.

After all, Madam Wu practiced martial arts and had a very strong physique. She didn't feel seasick at all and still stood on the deck looking at the vast sea.

She was wearing a goose yellow gown. Since marrying Chen Ce, she had lost her youthfulness and become more feminine.

Due to long-term martial arts training, she has maintained an excellent figure and is a beautiful sight standing on the deck.

This huge ship has five floors. In the attic room on the third floor, Prince Anhua Zhu Zongxuan was sitting by the window eating snacks and drinking tea.

Zhu Zonghong was the great-grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the sixteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who guarded Ningxia. Zhu Zonghong inherited the throne.

I have been living in the northwestern border and have never seen what the sea looks like in several lifetimes. Now that I see the vast sea, I naturally want to appreciate it.

As everyone knows, the sons of the old Zhu family are not good people. The same goes for Zhu Zongqiang. When he was in Ningxia, he was arrogant and domineering, and his crimes were even more numerous than those of the Zhang brothers in the capital.

After all, the Zhang brothers were under the nose of Emperor Hongzhi. Although they were greedy for money, they at least had a bottom line and would not kill or burn people for no reason.

But Zhu Zongxuan was different. He was like the local emperor of Ningxia. He recruited a group of ruffians in his palace to help him make money and abstain from sex.

Different from others, Zhu Zongxuan did not like young girls, but preferred married women.

At this moment, he glanced his head, admiring the beautiful scenery on the sea, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

On the deck, a figure in a goose yellow gown immediately attracted Zhu Zongxuan's attention. He had never seen such a beautiful and graceful woman before, and he couldn't take his eyes away!
"Go, bring that woman to me!" Zhu Zongxuan said excitedly.

The journey was so boring. He never expected that there would be such a wonderful woman on this ship.

The old official of the palace hurriedly advised Zhu Zongxian: "Your Majesty, the emperor is also on the boat. This is not Ningxia."

The woman who could appear on this ship might be one of Emperor Hongzhi's concubines. Are you crazy? Are you willing to do anything because of your lust?
It was fine that he was lawless in Ningxia before, but he still dares to do so now? Do you really think that the emperor is kind and has a good temper?
Zhu Zong was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. However, he was still a little unwilling and said, "Go find out who this woman is!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Go!"

……

Chen Ce came out from Zhu Youluo and found Wu Niangzi on the deck. He stood side by side with her, looking at the vast sea, and said with a smile: "Where is Xiaohua?"

Madam Wu took out the black cloak in her hand and gently put it on Chen Ce, saying with a smile: "She was very seasick and went back to her room to sleep."

"My husband, are you okay?"

Chen Ce nodded gently and said, "It's okay, don't worry." Madam Wu nodded, and Chen Ce took Madam Wu's hand. They stood on the deck and stared at the sea scenery. "It should take about five days to reach the Japanese island."

"I estimate that I will have to stay on the Japanese island for ten days or half a month."

Emperor Hongzhi had to offer sacrifices to heaven, inspect the soldiers and bureaucrats on the Japanese islands, and investigate the mining of Iwami Silver Mine, among other matters, so his schedule was very full.

Madam Wu smiled and said, "Okay!"

……

Zhu Zongxuan had been staring at the empty deck. When he saw Chen Ce appear next to Madam Wu, holding hands with her, he became even more agitated!
It turns out that she is the wife of this sick guy?

Before boarding the ship, he met Chen Ce. Like Zhu Youluo, he was also very curious about Chen Ce's identity. He looked sick, so why could he be on the same ship with Emperor Hongzhi?

Not long after, the old official from the palace came over and said to Zhu Zongxuan, "Your Majesty, that woman is not the emperor's concubine."

Zhu Zong said: "I know!"

He stood up, lifted his robe and quickly went to Zhu Youqiu's room.

"Cousin."

Zhu Zongxian greeted Zhu Youxuan with a smile, and then asked directly: "Do you remember the consumptive man we saw when we boarded the ship?"

Zhu Youqiu had just tested Chen Ce, and he hurriedly asked, "Why? Do you know his identity?"

Zhu Zongqi shook his head: "I don't know, so I came to ask you, that guy looks sick, who is he? Why is he on the same ship with us?"

Zhu Youqiu pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. I have tested him. He should not be a civil servant of the court."

"The most likely person is the governor of the Inner or Eastern Factory."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now by the side of Emperor Hongzhi, ready to protect his safety at any time. Chen Ce also said that he is not a high-ranking official in the court.

Then it can only be the governors of the East Factory and the Inner Factory.

Zhu Zongxuan's eyes rolled around and he became even more excited!
Great! It turns out he is just a dog of the Emperor.

But I don't know how to get my family on board the ship.

Zhu Zong's mind was filled with the image of Wu Niangzi, and he became increasingly agitated. He said, "Cousin, aren't we not allowed to bring family members on this ship?"

"I think I saw that guy boarding the ship with his family."

Zhu Youqi was slightly stunned and looked at Zhu Zongxuan calmly. Could it be that this idiot was planning to take advantage of Chen Ce's wife?

Zhu Youqi had long heard that Zhu Zongqi was behaving recklessly in Ningxia, and he had intended to dissuade him from doing so, but on second thought, he changed his mind!
He wanted to test how powerful Chen Ce was, so he smiled and said, "I think his family members disguised themselves as servants and came in together. After all, who doesn't want to see the beautiful scenery on the sea?"

Zhu Zongqi raised his eyebrows and said, "Cousin, what you said makes sense!"

Zhu Youqiu pretended to be dumbfounded and asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Zhu Zongqi laughed and said, "No big deal, it's just a casual question."
