Extra 1: Seeking the Truth, He Strayed Into Penglai Island, the Fragrant Wind Did Not Move, the Pine Flowers Drifted
1. Great heat.
In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, cicadas were chirping in midsummer, and even Kunming, which was like spring all year round, became hot and dry.
But the hot weather is not all bad, for example, you can play in the water.
Zhu Zhen ordered the craftsmen of the Woodwork Factory to build a large bathtub as spacious as a room, filled it with clear spring water transported from the Western Mountains, and then jumped in with his two sons in his arms, and the three of them started playing happily.
Children are still easy to coax. Zhu Zhen plays with them every day and gives them delicious and fun things in different ways. Soon the father and son are no longer estranged. The two little ones were supported by their father's big hands, and they were splashing on the water, giggling non-stop.
After playing until the heat of the evening subsided, Zhu Zhen handed the two little ones to the palace maid, wiped them clean, put on clothes, and took them to dinner.
He also came out of the water, moved his numb arms and said, "These two brats are so heavy."
"That's right, Meng Can weighed nine kilograms when he was born, and Meng Xuan also weighed eight kilograms." Liu Li wiped his head and said with a wry smile: "Meng Xu weighed seven kilograms when he was born, and he was actually the lightest."
"Haha, I can't help it. My son must be bigger." Zhu Zhen shook his double doors in a showy manner. He has big arms and a round waist, and is very huge.
"Besides, it's so rare to see someone with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain." He said, raising his hands flat so that Miaoqing could put on the extra-large Taoist robe for him.
"It is rare to recruit people, but how difficult it is to give birth." Miaoqing sighed: "We all had difficulty in giving birth. If Master Zhang hadn't been here, we would have no idea whether the prince would still be able to see him.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Master Zhang." Liu Li also felt the same way.
"Then I'll have to thank you properly when I get the chance." Zhu Zhen said, pretending to be natural.
"Do you still need to look for it? Her Mysterious Temple is right next to Dian Lake." Liu Li smiled.
"Really, she still lives here?" Zhu Zhen seemed to have just found out.
"No way, wasn't Xuanmiao Temple built by the prince's order?" Liu Li asked back, "How could the prince not know about it?"
"Oh, of course I built Xuanmiao Temple, but I didn't build it specifically for her." Zhu Zhen smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just being polite to her and said she could live there if she came to Kunming. I didn't expect that she would still Seriously."
"Okay, Your Majesty, stop pretending." Xu Miaoqing couldn't stand listening any more and pinched him and said, "Go if you want. Anyway, we already have some incense and some pearls, so there's no shortage of one more truth."
"That's right, if the prince doesn't mean what he says, I would be worthless for Master Zhang." Liu Li also said with a half-smile: "Go and see her, we have no objection."
"Really..." Zhu Zhen couldn't help blurting out, but he only said half of the words before he changed his words tactfully:
"I really don't have that idea. I just want to serve the two princesses well now and don't think about anything else."
"Your Majesty, we are not kidding you."
"I'm not kidding you either." He smiled and embraced the two princesses into the pavilion. At the same time, he secretly wiped his sweat... If he didn't stop at the cliff, he would definitely have his good fruit tonight.
Second, the beginning of autumn.
The sky is blue, Dianchi Lake is blue, as calm as a mirror, reflecting the white clouds, and the mysterious temple with red walls and green tiles by the lake.
Although this Taoist temple was built not long ago, it has a lofty status in the hearts of the people of Kunming. This is because there lives a Jurchen who they call the "Songzi Empress".
This Zhang Zhenren is said to be Empress Ma's adopted daughter, Zhang Tianshi's sister-in-law, and their prince's... confidante. In short, her status is extremely valuable. But the people respected her not because of her status, but because of her superb obstetrics and gynecology skills and her kindness to help the world regardless of high or low.
In recent years, Yunnan is catching up with the baby boom. In Kunming alone, tens of thousands of women give birth every year. The maternal dystocia rate in Kunming is actually lower than that in Jiangnan. Zhang Zhenren and her mysterious view definitely deserve the most credit.
Zhu Zhen was dressed in casual clothes and came to the entrance of the Taoist temple, which was shaded by ancient pines and bamboo trees.
When she learned that the prince had arrived, the Taoist nun who was guarding the gate hurriedly opened the middle door and went in to report. However, Zhu Zhen waved her hand to stop her, signaling her to be calm.
Then Zhu Zhen lifted his brocade robe and stepped into the temple.
Walking around the screen wall engraved with Tai Chi patterns, Zhu Zhen came to the Sanqing Hall.
Then he saw Zhang Xunzhen, whom he had not seen for a long time, sitting cross-legged on the futon and giving a lecture to a group of female crowned ladies in front of the hall.
She wore an azure and pale pink paddy field jacket and a Taoist robe inside. She had pearls hanging from the lower edge of the Miaochang scarf holding her green silk stockings, and she sat there with an elegant demeanor. Her face seemed to be the most exquisite masterpiece of nature. It had the softness of an earthly woman and the aura of transcendence. There is a bit more kindness in his eyes than before, making people feel close to him.
Zhu Zhen stood quietly under the eaves, listening to her lightly opening her red lips and saying to the girls:
"Women with dystocia should focus on prevention. During pregnancy, they should walk frequently, move their limbs during labor, and do not stop or freeze. They should flex and stretch their movements to move blood and energy. Do not sleep too much, eat too much, drink too much alcohol, or add miscellaneous medicines..."
The female crowns listened very seriously. After they studied medicine and became apprentices at Xuanmiao Temple, they would go to various prefectures and counties in Yunnan to open obstetrics and gynecology departments to benefit the people. The responsibility is very heavy. If you don't study hard, you will never get out of school.
When the morning classes were over, a senior sister took them to observe the consultation and delivery. After all, nothing is as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
Zhang Xunzhen seemed not to have seen Lao Liu. He stood up and was about to enter the palace. Zhu Zhen hurried forward and said with a smile: "Master, stay here."
Zhang Xunzhen still didn't seem to hear anything and continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Laoliu hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her hand. "Let's see where you can escape."
"It turns out that the prince has arrived." Zhang Xunzhen stopped and said coldly: "The Three Pure Ones are watching, don't make a move."
"This is not easy, come, blindfold the Master of the Three Pure Ones." Zhu Zhen shouted with a gangster's tone.
"Zhu Laoliu, you dare!" Zhang Xunzhen said anxiously: "If you disrespect the Three Pure Ones, you will be struck by lightning."
"Don't be afraid, I have a lightning rod." Zhu Zhen laughed and said: "Besides, I promised your brother to build a thousand Taoist temples overseas to promote Taoism throughout the world. How could the Master of the Three Pure Ones blame me for such a small matter?"
"Do you think the Master of the Three Pure Ones is as vulgar as you, treating the useful as a treasure and the useless as grass?" Zhang Xunzhen sighed helplessly, but did not let him let go.
Zhu Zhen took her soft little hand and walked back along the flower-filled stone road, smiling: "I treat you as a treasure, not because you are useful."
"It would be strange if it wasn't." Zhang Xunzhen said coquettishly, and then complained: "Besides, if you treat me as a treasure, would you have ignored me for several years?"
"I can't help it, right?" Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "My father used me to death, and he let me come back only after crying and shouting."
"You have been back for two months, right?" This is why Zhang Xunzhen was angry with him. "I thought you had forgotten me."
"How could that be?" Zhu Zhen hurriedly said with a smile: "Haven't you heard that 'to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal affairs'? Besides, didn't I ask someone to send you a gift?"
"I can see that it wasn't prepared by you?" Zhang Xunzhen said with an angry smile: "But what the prince said is that I am just an outsider, so the prince must help my wife first."
"That's natural." Zhu Zhen was a scumbag who was more particular about it. Hearing this, he actually nodded and said: "The king must take care of my wife first. Who told you not to be my princess?"
"I don't care about being a princess." Zhang Xunzhen was irritated: "Let me go!"
As she said this, she tried to break free from Lao Liu, but Zhu Zhen was no longer a Wuxia Amon. She had practiced wrestling skills on the grassland. Relying on the advantages of size and strength, she couldn't break free.
Of course, Zhang Xunzhen's martial arts were still much higher than his, and Zhu Zhen had no hope of subduing her.
As a result, the two of them were entangled like octopuses, and neither of them could do anything to the other.
"Why are you so stubborn, woman? If you follow me, you will be my wife, right?" Zhu Zhen panted and said, "I can also help you get the position of princess!"
"Who wants to be your wife? Who wants to be a princess!" Zhang Xunzhen was sweating and very attractive.
"Then why did you come to Kunming?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"I came to help your wife give birth!" Zhang Xunzhen said angrily.
"My wife has given birth for two years! Why are you still staying here?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"I didn't stay for you!" Zhang Xunzhen snorted and said, "I love the beautiful mountains and rivers here! It's for those women who were forced to marry you!"
"You are just being stubborn!" Zhu Zhen finally couldn't help it and kissed her hard.
"You are...hard, um!" Zhang Xunzhen closed her lips in resistance, but Zhu Zhen still pried her open, and then she responded enthusiastically.
Zhu Zhen then carried her horizontally and strode towards the boudoir.
The nun guarding the door of Zhang Xunzhen's bedroom hurriedly opened the door for the prince. The Tianshi Dao does not prohibit marriage, otherwise where would the generations of Zhang Tianshi come from? And they knew too well the hearts of their own masters...
After the two entered, the nuns immediately closed the door, covered their mouths and laughed away.
~~
The situation in the boudoir was just as evidenced by a poem "Spitting on the Window Velvet":
The small curtain was hung with light gauze, the jade skin was flawless, the peony heart was as thick as rouge painting, the fragrance was praiseworthy, the dew was full of love, whispered in the ear, and cursed, the pretty enemy, crazy too much, crushed the flowers on the temples.
When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Zhang Xunzhen lazily leaned in Zhu Zhen's strong arms, and said with a look of joy and anger: "Are you going to eat me?"
"Hehe, who made you hide from me for so many years?" Zhu Zhen proudly hugged her round and white shoulders and said: "You said you would have been better off if you had followed me earlier. You have delayed our son's soy sauce."
"Go to hell." Zhang Xunzhen pinched him. She lay quietly in his arms for a while, and then whispered: "I was scared at that time."
"What else is there for you, Master Zhang, to be afraid of?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously: "What are you afraid of?"
"It's all your fault. You have to let me, a virgin, deliver babies for others?!" Zhang Xunzhen said bitterly: "And those who come to me are all difficult to deliver. How can I not be afraid after seeing so many women suffering?"
"So, it's really my fault." Zhu Zhen suddenly realized.
"And you are so big. If the child follows you, it will definitely be difficult to give birth." Zhang Xunzhen sighed.
"Really." Zhu Zhen couldn't help but say with shame: "My three children are all born thanks to you."
"At that time, I thought, I can deliver them, but who can deliver me?" Zhang Xunzhen sighed again and said: "So I was scared and ran back to Longhu Mountain overnight."
"Is that so." Zhu Zhen felt distressed when he heard it, hugged Zhang Xunzhen tightly, and asked: "Are you not afraid now?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xunzhen nodded, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "I have taught a disciple..."
As he said that, he wrapped his breathtaking long legs around him and said: "Daoist partner, we have to make up for the lost time!"
"Haha, good..." Zhu Zhen's smile was a little tight, thinking that it seemed that his waist strength, which was not abundant to begin with, was completely overwhelmed.
He suddenly remembered a sentence - high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.
But at this time, who is the hunter and who is the prey is no longer important...
The important thing is - you must fight for your whole life and enjoy yourself today!
ps. After finishing the book, all kinds of troubles came to me in a line. I couldn't calm down to write the extra chapter. This one was written intermittently for three days. Everyone will take a look first.
