Ming Dynasty: Empress Ma and I swapped clothes!

Chapter 86 Hero 1: Wrath for a Beauty?

At this moment, Yun Qi had explained the entire situation in the palace that had developed to this point, and it was clear that he had a friendly attitude towards Ma Wenxiang.

"What does Father-in-law mean by this?"

Ma Wenxiang looked at the other person.

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I am just a servant, merely exchanging a few private words with my mistress. I dare not ask for anything more. I have come today to convey His Majesty's message."

Then Yunqi repeated Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions.

"Understood, Father-in-law."

Ma Wenxiang spoke slowly.

At this moment, Ma Wenxiang's tone seemed to change slightly, but Yun Qi in front of him did not seem to mind. Instead, he nodded obediently as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Ma Wenxiang returned to Kunning Palace with a strange expression, seemingly understanding but not quite.

As soon as he entered, he saw Su Qing'er and Sun Miaoran looking at him with concern.

Ma Wenxiang forced a smile, just about to explain.

The next moment, Su Qing'er darted forward, grabbed Ma Wenxiang's face, and gently tugged at it. After playing around for a while, she said seriously, "Don't try to hide it. Your skills are not even as good as those of a eunuch or palace maid who has been in the palace for less than three years. You can't lie at all."

"What brings Eunuch Yunqi here just now?"

Sun Miaoran asked in her best attempt to remain calm.

Ma Wenxiang sighed. Since he couldn't hide it any longer, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"That is indeed a good thing."

Sun Miaoran nodded.

Hearing him say that, Su Qing'er was completely relieved. She patted her slightly developed chest and muttered to herself, "That's good then."

Gradually, Kunning Palace descended into a state of merriment, but Ma Wenxiang's mind was in turmoil as he pondered Yun Qi's words.

He patted himself, shook his head, and then thought to himself that things had indeed gone too smoothly along the way.

After meditating for a while, Ma Wenxiang's previous smugness gradually vanished.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, whether in Kunning Palace or on the way to the capital, Ma Wenxiang is taking things as they come and can easily accept them.

When he woke up again, the group was almost at the border of the capital. It would probably be able to reach the capital in another three or four days, which was not far away.

After waking up this time, the atmosphere in the team was noticeably heavier than before.

After all, they've entered the capital region. Although it's unlikely to affect them in the long run, they still need to be cautious, since they might have to pay their respects to the supreme Emperor.

It's perfectly normal for ordinary people like the Ma family to feel anxious and nervous.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Whether it's truly the emperor's divine might or not, it's completely different from what we ordinary people experience."

Ma Xiulin, carrying her rice bowl, walked up to Ma Wenxiang and couldn't help but voice her question.

Ma Wenxiang was both amused and exasperated, and could only reply, "Just like you, Dad, I have two eyes, one nose, and two ears. There's not much difference between us."

"The current emperor once begged for food and worked as a wandering monk in his early years. If we're going to talk about it that way, he's indeed not even as good as you, Father."

"Nonsense."

Ma Xiulin didn't believe it after hearing this, rolling her eyes as she said, "That's the Emperor, the Son of Heaven, how can ordinary people compare to him?"

"Even though I suffered some hardships back then, as the saying goes, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, empty their mind, and thwart their actions. Only in this way can they accomplish great things."

"How come everything seems so natural to you, kid?"

"That's the Emperor."

"Yes, yes, the Emperor is the Emperor."

Ma Wenxiang could only agree.

It was obvious that his father wouldn't listen to reason, so why should Ma Wenxiang bother discussing the specifics with him?

It's about keeping the old man happy without causing him any loss.

But once Ma Wenxiang got along with it, Ma Xiulin really got excited and kept asking questions from the side.

This question gradually went on and on.

Ma Wenxiang wanted to ask for help, but his mother, Wang Shuyun, also cast a curious glance at him, and in the end, even Grandpa Ma joined in.

It's clear that the family is quite nervous about their upcoming arrival in Beijing.

……

At this moment.

Ma Xiuying, who also woke up in Kunning Palace, stretched her body and felt more energetic. She then learned that Ma Wenxiang had largely resolved the matters within the palace.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and a gentle smile naturally appeared on her face.

After dressing up, she naturally called Su Qing'er and Sun Miaoran to her side.

The two men's attitudes toward her did not change significantly. After all, they had been mistress and servant in Kunning Palace for quite some time, and their bond was certainly no less than that of her future husband, Ma Wenxiang.

After all, she hasn't married into the family yet, so she's still on her mother's side. Even if the daughter is inclined to go out, it shouldn't come to this.

"Miaoran, you tell us."

Seeing Su Qing'er open her mouth as if she was about to speak, looking eager to do so, Ma Xiuying had a different idea and deliberately teased her.

So Su Qing'er had no choice but to shut up and wait quietly to the side.

Sun Miaoran smiled gently and recounted the events that had occurred in the palace during this period in a graceful and moving manner, as if she were a storyteller under the bridge, with a touch of intonation, making her storytelling incredibly vivid.

At first glance, Ma Xiuying might not have noticed anything, but as she listened more, she sensed something amiss. She chuckled and said, "I never thought this young man Wen would be so capable. In just ten days, he has already won over all the young ladies around me. They probably can't wait to marry him."

"Especially this little Qing'er, she wished she could be in Cao's camp but her heart was in Han's, and directly marry into her husband's family."

"Your Majesty."

Su Qing'er said coquettishly, her face full of shyness.

But we have to admit it.

She had indeed fallen for Ma Wenxiang; if she missed out on a man like him, she would never find another like him.

Of course, she must seize this opportunity and not miss it, otherwise she would ruin the rest of her life.

"This kid has actually learned the art of a hero's anger for a woman, isn't he afraid of shooting himself in the foot? What I didn't expect was that he actually had this ability."

Ma Xiuying frowned, but didn't reveal much of her thoughts.

To know!

She had read almost every book in the Ma family's collection.
