Zhang Yuan was a little worried.

Because he didn't know how to satisfy Zhu Houzhao.

Since he assumed the responsibility of arranging programs for the emperor, he naturally was worried that he would not be satisfied with the emperor and ended up being scolded or even punished.

Zhang Yuan greeted the local officials and was unexpectedly popular. A group of people surrounded Zhang Yuan and worked together, with various ideas.

In addition to what Zhu Houzhao said, local officials will also prepare other entertainment programs, waiting for Zhu Houzhao to make a request so that they can send people to the emperor.

During lunch, Zhang Yuan returned to the boat and still felt overwhelmed.

"Eunuch Zhang, Your Majesty sent our family to ask, how are the things being prepared?" Before Zhang Yuan could pick up his job, he saw Xiao Tiaozi's figure.

At this time, the fleet was moving very slowly, and the ship that was opening the road in front was almost motionless. Zhang Yuan looked at the emperor's dragon boat, then turned around and asked Xiao Tiaozi, "Why are you little guy here?"

Xiao Twist frowned: "Didn't you hear what our family said?"

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "Everything has been arranged... There are many programs prepared in the local area, just waiting for His Majesty to appreciate it."

Xiao Guozi asked, "Have you ever asked the Queen what she likes? What did the Queen say?"

Only then did Zhang Yuan remember that he did not ask Shen Yier for instructions as Zhu Houzhao's instructions, but he was not willing to reveal his omissions. He immediately looked stern: "What does this have to do with you little thing?"

Xiao Zhuozi said coldly: "This is what Your Majesty asked our family to ask about it... Your Majesty also wants to know what programs the Queen likes so that she can choose to her future... Why can't I ask you clearly?"

Only then did Zhang Yuan realize that Zhu Houzhao was not talking casually, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty is such a love species. I don't know what magic my eldest niece has that can make Your Majesty so attached to you."

Zhang Yuan picked up his job: "After eating, our family will tell His Majesty that you don't need a little thing to tell me."

...

...

Just after noon, the fleet stopped.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to go ashore to watch the show, but in fact, the arrangements of the local government had not yet been in place, and the camp near the port had just stood up.

Because Zhu Houzhao likes camping along the river, many times the preparations at the local area are very hasty. The soldiers with the train may not care where the camp is located, but it is not possible to complete a relatively spacious and comfortable place in this camp to perform entertainment programs for the emperor in a short time.

After Zhu Houzhao got ashore, Zhang Yuan quickly got off the boat and met. At this time, he had not even finished lunch.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has greeted the local officials. They will arrange the programs that your Majesty... and the Queen's favorites, so we have begun to build the venue?"

Zhang Yuan was afraid that Xiao Tengzi would complain, so he made a statement first and then found a way to make up for it.

But at this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't think so much at all. She looked around and asked, "Just arrange it... Where is the queen?"

Zhang Yuan looked back at the boat Shen Yier was riding.

Previously, the queen's ship had been following the emperor's ship. At this time, she was docked, but there was no movement on the ship. It seemed that Shen Yier had no intention of getting off the ship for the time being.

Zhu Houzhao pointed at the small twister.

Xiao Tuozi understood it and quickly ran towards Shen Yier's boat. At this time, a eunuch got off the boat and said a few words to Xiao Tuozi.

Xiao Guozi hurried back and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the Queen Feng is unwell and cannot go ashore for the time being...I can't stand the wind."

Although Emperor Zhengde is not old, he is clear about women's bodies. The women he has come into contact with are definitely not comparable to ordinary men. He knows that it is a situation and sighs, "Oh! Women are afraid of those days. They are really worried. I originally wanted to relax with the queen. This is great. Later, she may go directly from the boat to the camp to rest and can no longer accompany me to relax."

Zhang Yuan was relieved when he heard this. After all, he had never asked for instructions from the queen, so he finally escaped the disaster.

Xiao Taozi secretly looked at Zhang Yuan with curious eyes, as if asking... Didn't you say you asked the Queen about the show? Why didn't you even know that the Queen was unwell?

Zhang Yuan intends to guide the topic: "Your Majesty, please go back and ask the imperial doctor to treat the Queen's Phoenix Body. If Your Majesty wants to visit, why should you let the old slave and the local officials accompany you?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "It's OK. Let's go and ask what interesting human things are there in the place first, I want to know."

Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered something that the local magistrate mentioned accidentally before, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a famous actor in the southern opera in this area. He has superb singing skills and unparalleled beauty. He is flocking to him. However, it is difficult to meet him and has a great reputation. If she is invited to perform..."

Zhang Yuan didn't take it too seriously before. He thought Zhu Houzhao would go to the show with Shen Yier. He knew very well what Zhu Houzhao was like in front of Shen Yier. He followed the rules and did not have the courage even if he had the heart. But now he knew that Shen Yier would not go, so he began to show his true nature as a traitor and recommended women to Zhu Houzhao in order to invite favor.

Zhu Houzhao waved her hand: "It's a Qing Gongren again, what's the point?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wrong this time... This woman with both sexes and skills is not a gentleman, but a woman in her twenties. She married a family of music and her husband has no status. Even married women still have to come out for social engagements from time to time."

Zhu Houzhao immediately widened her eyes when she heard this and asked, "Is that true? You really have to meet me! Go and arrange it quickly. I will meet this woman now. Oh no, it's this talented lady."

Zhu Houzhao's thief's heart is undead.

Halfway through hearing that Mrs. Zhong was missing, and Lou Suzhen jumped into the river and disappeared after being heavily protected. Zhu Houzhao was frustrated and furious. Her dissatisfaction with Jiang Bin almost reached the critical point, and she was also afraid of the "love scene".

But this time I heard that there was a woman with both savagery and art in the place, and I was a little moved.

Under the arrangement of the local officials, Zhu Houzhao saw the legendary woman with both elegance and skills in less than half an hour. Although Zhu Houzhao may not be as obsessed as Lou Suzhen and Mrs. Zhong, Zhu Houzhao was fascinated by her appearance and figure, and the mature woman's charm emitted from her body.

"Please sit down, madam."

Zhu Houzhao said to the woman with a smile.

The woman was wearing a bright blue long skirt, with red silk on her shoulders, and her clothes fitted, showing her slender figure and plump breasts vividly.

Zhang Yuan saw that Zhu Houzhao had feelings for this woman, so he shouted. Soon the eunuchs and palace maids, including Xiao Tiaozi, were all driven out of the tent. Finally, Zhang Yuan bowed and retreated, and diligently closed the tent door, leaving the place for Zhu Houzhao and the woman.

As a result, the woman began to become nervous and did not dare to look up at Zhu Houzhao. Obviously, before she came, she knew that the person in front of her was the one who was today.

Zhu Houzhao was not as impatient as before, and had to take advantage of it as soon as he came. Instead, he showed a gentlemanly demeanor. He nodded at the woman first, and then said: "Mrs. If you don't sit, I will not sit down... How can you ask what your wife calls me?"

The woman exhaled like orchid: "My husband's family's surname is Sui, and his original surname is Yuan."

"Mrs. Yuan? Good name...hehe..."

Zhu Houzhao, no matter what the woman’s husband’s surname is, he will call him by his maiden name. This is the lesson he learned from Mrs. Zhong and reduces the other party’s resistance.

The woman did not refute, her voice was a little cowardly, and she said frankly: "I don't know what song the emperor likes? I'm ready to prepare after I go back."

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to pretend to be a noble young man in front of this woman, but when he heard the name, he knew that his identity was exposed and there was no meaning to hide it.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry. After all, the other party was arranged by the local government, not the woman he went out to find. He could not force his identity, so he nodded: "Madam, I came to you, and I may not have to appreciate the plays you performed... You should understand some things, right? After all, you are no longer a girl in the boudoir, and you should understand the rules."

Mrs. Yuan smiled bitterly and shook her head without saying anything... A woman like her who had been in the romantic field for a long time was very clear about the tricks, and she didn't plan to be a polite woman, because she knew that she had no way to refuse her as her identity. Even if she got married, it was just a choice in helplessness. There were many conflicts of interest. Her husband was also a native of the country. In this era, she could not expect her husband to protect her from high-ranking officials and nobles.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Madam, you understand if you don't speak... Then, let's talk about what good songs you have. I'll see what you have never heard of. Let me appreciate them well in the evening."

Mrs. Yuan said: "The list of tracks has been handed over to Eunuch Zhang outside. If the emperor needs it, he can ask the headmaster to send one."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and shook her head: "I just want to listen to your introduction by Madam... Come and sit down and talk."

Zhu Houzhao was a ruler before, but now when he saw that this woman was very cognitive, he no longer restrained himself. He walked forward and stretched out his hand, trying to pull Mrs. Yuan's sleeve, but the other party was easily avoided.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry, just like a cat and a mouse, everything was under control, and it was more interesting to play hard to get first.

Mrs. Yuan said in a deep voice: "Prince, please respect yourself."

This made Zhu Houzhao's face change slightly. Although he likes to do whatever he wants, he doesn't like to let others blame him in person, but after his face slightly sank, his smile immediately recovers.

"Isn't I respect myself enough? No, haven't I been following the rules when I make a payment?"

Mrs. Yuan's face was tense and she did not respond. As Zhu Houzhao approached, she took two steps back again.

Zhu Houzhao stared at Mrs. Yuan's pretty face, feeling uncomfortable like a cat's claws, and said to herself: "At first glance, this woman doesn't look so beautiful, but she is very attractive. Her every move exudes endless charm, which is tailor-made for me. Also, it is precisely because of her rebelliousness that she can conquer it."

Zhu Houzhao did not force herself to get Mrs. Yuan in a moment, and in a blink of an eye, she regained the emperor's magnanimity and said with a smile: "Let's do this, ma'am, you go down and prepare first, and wait for the performance to end before we can drink with me. What's the matter with us then?"

Regarding what the emperor said about "long talk" means, Mrs. Yuan knew it very well, but she did not respond, but just bowed and bowed and then left.

Zhu Houzhao did not stop him. Xiaoying looked at Mrs. Yuan's quit the camp and thought to herself: "The women who came from the Jiaofangsi are different. Maybe they are often treated with more powerful people, and even the ladies of the family are not as good as hers... If such a beauty is allowed to linger among the people, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

...

...

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with the arrangements of Zhang Yuan and local officials.

Then Zhu Houzhao met with the Yanzhou magistrate who sent Mrs. Yuan, the Jining magistrate and the Renchengwei commander and other local officials and generals, as well as the troupe leader of the opera troupe where Mrs. Yuan was, and won a lot of praise and worship, and was in a good mood.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhu Houzhao's personal selection of opera performed in the camp.

In addition to the opera troupe to which Mrs. Yuan belongs, several opera troupes started performing at the same time, just like the art performances in later generations. Different stages performed different operas, competing for beauty.

But the officers and soldiers who followed him were not qualified to appreciate these good shows.

All the plays were prepared for Zhu Houzhao alone. The officers and soldiers were stationed outside the camp, and blocking areas were set up around the stage to cover them with curtains. Whether it was the generals or soldiers, they could only hear the sound but not see the person. The ears could be enjoyed, but because the gongs and drums and singing styles were intertwined, it was more like noise.

Zhu Houzhao took a simple break and began to wander around the stage, looking around and looking around.

For Zhu Houzhao, these plays were too ordinary. After all, he had seen the best performances of the world in the Leopard Room, and the plays were all the latest. Even if the grass-roots teams from the local area performed hard, he seemed to be quite ordinary.

The main purpose of Zhu Houzhao's wandering around was to observe whether there were beauties on the stage. Of course, if there were those who were indeed capable, even men would take them to the capital, just to consider it as selecting "talents" for the Leopard Room.

"Your Majesty, there are six troupes of operas alone, not those who are storytelling. Unfortunately, the time is too hasty to build a house, and the market you requested cannot be formed... Otherwise, Your Majesty will be able to visit the night market freely later."

Zhang Yuan was laughing at the side. All this was done by him. He had to accompany him carefully so that he could check for gaps and make up for the gaps anytime and anywhere, so as to make the emperor happy.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were wandering around the stages, looking for Mrs. Yuan's figure.

Zhu Hou took care of her for a long time but found nothing. She immediately asked, "Where is Mrs. Yuan before?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment before realizing who the emperor said "Madam Yuan" was. This title was different from the name of the troupe for that woman. He immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, you have arranged it for you. She was the finale and officially performed on stage when His Majesty was having a banquet. Now the troupe she was in is performing, and it is right in front... It was her fellow disciples performing."

Zhu Houzhao looked in the direction Zhang Yuan pointed and saw a woman of fair appearance singing on a small stage.

Perhaps there was not even an audience around him, and the woman was not very attentive when singing the song, her eyes were dull and her expression was a little dazed. Because of the noisy surrounding environment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't tell which sound was made by the stage.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Are you ready for the banquet?"
