On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao and walked quickly into the main hall.

Looking at Empress Ma, who was standing on the ground, looking at herself in the mirror with shock, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why he suddenly wanted to cry.

That face, he was too familiar with it.

That was the person who accompanied him from youth to old age, and in this life, he could never forget her.

Now looking closely, Zhu Yuanzhang could understand how many vicissitudes Empress Ma had experienced following him all these years.

Only then could such a bright and moving young girl turn into such an old woman.

The imperial physician saw Zhu Yuanzhang and just wanted to say that Empress Ma not only came back to life but also returned to her youth.

But he was immediately pressed down by Erhu, not letting him speak. If anyone dared to open their mouth at this time, they would surely die.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowed his pace, walked slowly behind Empress Ma, and said tremblingly:

"Sister..."

Empress Ma was stunned for a moment, looked back, and this glance allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to see the Empress Ma who was in her prime more than ten years ago.

He worked hard to fight, and every day in his dreams, he didn't think about victory, but about going home afterward, so he could chat about family matters with Empress Ma.

But the war was frequent, and it seemed that his sister had grown old without him noticing.

"Chongba..."

Empress Ma gently raised her hand and touched Zhu Yuanzhang's face. The warm feeling, with the roughness of some calluses, made Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears immediately.

His sister was not like other young girls whose skin was always like jade; her hands had always been very rough.

That was worn out from accompanying him to fight and accompanying him to work hard.

At that time, when the weather was cold, his sister still worked hard to wash his battle robes for him, and as a result, when spring came, her hands were all chapped.

Zhu Yuanzhang never disliked it; every time he felt this, he only felt heartache.

His other concubines only enjoyed blessings following him, but only Empress Ma had suffered all the way following him.

In his heart, the entire harem added together could not compare to a single hair of Empress Ma.

He held Empress Ma's hand tightly.

"Chongba..."

Empress Ma was also a little moved, gently stroking the wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"Hey! Sister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang responded very cautiously.

Empress Ma giggled, which made Zhu Yuanzhang dazed for a moment; it seemed as if he had returned to the time when he had just married Empress Ma, and every smile and frown could make him blush for a long time.

"You are old, Chongba."

"Hey! This is called maturity, but my sister is still so youthful, I am really happy."

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears and then hugged Empress Ma fiercely.

"My sister is back! My sister is back! Good! Good! Heaven has eyes! Thank the immortals!"

Empress Ma blushed a little.

"Don't be like this, Chongba, Biao'er and Erhu and the others are still here."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned his head childishly and glared at the few people.

"So what if they are here! Biao'er is my son, Erhu has been following me and counts as half a son, and Xiaoyu is also your closest person!"

"Besides, can't I hug my own wife? Which article of the Great Ming Law says I can't hug my own wife!"

Zhu Biao's eyes were red, and he was crying with joy as he bowed his hands:

"Father, the Great Ming Law stipulates... you can hug Mother for a while longer!"

"There are no outsiders here, call me Dad!"

"Hey! Dad! Mom!"

Empress Ma gently reached out and hugged Zhu Biao in her arms as well.

Erhu and Xiaoyu and the others also sensibly left.

At this time, it was their family's time.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, only Zhu Biao and Empress Ma were his family.

614. Zhu Yuanzhang: Forget it, sell me to the immortals!

"Mom, you have really returned to your youth. Mom, you looked so good when you were young!"

Zhu Biao looked at Empress Ma with a face full of emotion, and Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly:

"Nonsense! I was also a famous handsome young man in the ten miles and eight villages, otherwise, could I have chased after your mother? You kid grew up looking so good, your mother's genes also made a great contribution."

"You old rascal!"

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at him, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel itchy in his heart.

His own sister has recovered her youth; perhaps her appearance is not the best-looking in the entire harem, but for Zhu Yuanzhang, it is definitely the one that makes his heart beat the fastest.

"Biao'er, you look too old now."

Empress Ma rubbed the wrinkles on Zhu Biao's face with heartache. Without noticing, Zhu Biao's hair also had many white traces.

"Mom..."

Zhu Biao pursed his lips; he looks much older than Empress Ma now.

Suddenly, Empress Ma's face turned cold, and she stared at Zhu Yuanzhang angrily.

"Good for you, you old rascal! I didn't feel anything when I hadn't recovered my youth before."

"Now that I compare, my Biao'er is older than me, and Biao'er is only how old this year!"

"You old rascal! This is your own son, and you only know how to oppress him and make him work for you all day!"

"Look! My Biao'er even has premature gray hair!"

Zhu Biao's face was awkward, and he hurriedly said:

"Mom, this doesn't count as premature gray hair anymore; I'm already twenty-eight this year."

"That won't do either! Mom didn't have white hair when she was twenty-eight! It's all your heartless father's fault!"

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his waist cautiously and said with a flattering smile:

"Sister is right. Later, I will issue an order to let Biao'er have a good rest. I'm not dead yet, so Biao'er doesn't need to be in such a hurry."

"And those concubines of yours, I don't even want to say anything!"

"Dismiss them! I will dismiss them immediately!"

"Forget about dismissing them, they have followed you for so long after all. I just want you to be a little more restrained. Look at you, you are old and look like a mess."

"Hey! Restrained! Must be restrained! From now on, I will only rest with you."

"You old shameless! Biao'er is still here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhu Biao. The latter realized, turned his head to look out the window with a blank face, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.

After a moment, Zhu Biao lowered his voice and said:

"Dad, why has Mom's personality changed so much?"

"Hey..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said in a low voice:

"Your mother has recovered her youth, so her personality must have too. Your mother was quite... in short, your mother is jealous."

"And, do you think your mother could have handled me and many proud soldiers and fierce generals if she didn't have a bit of a fiery and domineering spirit when she was young?"

Zhu Biao paused and sighed:

"Dad, you didn't have it easy back then either."

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao.

"That's because your mother loves me, I know, your mother is thinking for me with all her heart, I am so happy! Biao'er, you don't understand!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Back then, he and Chang were also so loving, childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately Chang...

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder.

"Don't worry Biao'er, didn't you see your mother is fine? I suppose Xiongying and your wife can all come back, and your father-in-law too."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"But Dad, the immortals..."

"It doesn't matter, if you have many lice, you don't itch, if you have many debts, you don't worry. If you are herding one sheep, you are herding a flock, so just put your heart down."
