When Wei Zhongxian helped Zhu Youxiao to walk a few steps inside, he saw Empress Zhang Yan walking to the door with the help of a palace maid.

Zhang Yan, who was dressed in a dress, should have been the most beautiful woman in the world, but her delicate face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, without the slightest blood.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Yan.

"Zitong, you should recuperate in bed when you have this serious illness, why did you come here to pick me up." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan anxiously.

"Your Majesty is here, and the concubine is going out to greet you, this is the rule left by the ancestors, how dare I break it."

Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Youxiao with a smile, but her voice seemed to be weak.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the pitiful Zhang Yan and helped him into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, the environment in the room made Zhu Youxiao a little frightened. It's not that the décor in the room is exuberant, it's that it's too basic.

A small round table with several chairs around each other. There are a few calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the wall, a few bright bouquets of flowers in the corners, a bookshelf full of books, and nothing else.

Zhu Youxiao really couldn't imagine that the queen of a country and the mother of the world, the decoration in the room was so simple, which was completely different from the scene in the TV movies he saw in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao felt a little guilty in his heart, in Zhu Youxiao's memory, he rarely came to the queen's bedroom, and most of the time he spent his carpenter work in the Qianqing Palace.

"Companion, I'll rest here with the queen tonight, you can retire and rest first."

Zhu Youxiao turned around and said to Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside to serve.

"Your Majesty, the old slave still has to serve Your Majesty......."

Zhu Youxiao interrupted Wei Zhongxian's words with his white hand, "It's okay, I want to talk to the queen tonight, so I don't need you to wait here."

"Let's go down and rest."

Wei Zhongxian saw that Zhu Youxiao insisted like this, and didn't say anything more, and retreated gently.

"Cheer up yourselves and be ready to listen to your majesty's instructions. If Your Majesty is unhappy and thinks that you have neglected your duties, then don't blame the ancestor for being ruthless."

After Wei Zhongxian turned around and went out, he said with a cold face to the two little eunuchs who were next to the door behind him.

"Yes, Ancestor." The two little eunuchs said in unison to Wei Zhongxian, who was reprimanding him.

The little eunuch called Wei Zhongxian the ancestor not because he wanted to climb Wei Zhongxian's relationship, but because the rank was there.

Although our later generations called those who entered the palace after being castrated as eunuchs, in fact, this is just a general term, and among eunuchs, eunuchs are the highest level that can be called, and there are also young eunuchs and so on.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty can be divided into 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, with a total of 24 departments.

The celebrant eunuch, the best of the eunuchs, is known as the Shadow Cabinet. And Wei Zhongxian is the chief supervisor of the ceremonial eunuch, and he is also the capital of Dongchang Factory, which can be said to be the highest level among the eunuchs, while the little eunuch is the lowest level in the entire eunuch system, so it is completely correct to call Wei Zhongxian an ancestor.

This is considered to be in the imperial court, and the highest commander among the eunuchs is the chief of the twelve eunuchs, who belongs to the fourth-grade officials, and if you really want to count it, the officials below the fourth-grade still need to salute Wei Zhongxian. Of course, in the current court, not to mention the fourth grade or less, even the first-grade members need to luggage for them, no way, who let it be the most popular time.

When Zhang Yan heard that Zhu Youxiao wanted to spend the night with her, she couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face, but she thought of some other things, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated.

"Your Majesty, the concubine may not be able to serve Your Majesty tonight, if Your Majesty is willing, let Xiao'e serve Your Majesty instead of the concubine." Zhang Yan was a little worried, and looked at Zhu Youxiao softly.

"Zitong, where do you think of it. I told you that you are sick, and I really want to come and see you this time."

There is no so-called rudeness for Zhang Yan to let the palace maid next to her serve her instead.

In ancient China, a married lady would bring a dowry girl, whose role was to let her replace her when it was inconvenient for her. And the general dowry girl is basically inseparable from the young lady and has a good relationship.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was also an emperor who was born to a palace maid, and that emperor was Zhu Changluo, the son of Zhu Youxiao. At that time, Zhu Zhu Youxiao's grandfather Mingshenzong fell in love with a handsome palace queen, and came to a spring festival. and gave birth to a son, who was the emperor for a month in the end.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yan with a serious face, with a displeased look on his face. It's just that there is a hint of naughtiness in that serious expression, so that people can't feel it, and it's dissatisfaction with themselves.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little shy when she saw that Zhu Youxiao was not as she thought, and her face suddenly turned red. muttered to himself, not knowing what he was saying. The palace maid who was just standing on the side to serve was a little disappointed, after all, except for the emperor in the palace, the others were some eunuchs. In addition to the loneliness of the night, what is more important is that if you really have a spring supper with the emperor, then you may also become a concubine like the royal family, so your status is naturally different

Although she is a palace maid, she has quite a look. It's just a pity that Zhu Youxiao still has a lot of things to solve in his heart, and he can't raise the slightest requirement for women.

Night.

Zhu Youxiao sniffed the bursts of Zhang Yan's body fragrance from his nose and couldn't help but feel uncertain, saying no, but Zhu Youxiao, who was very honest. The body actually reacted, which made Zhang Yan, who was lying in Zhu Youxiao's arms, even more red, and buried her head directly in Zhu Youxiao's chest.

"Your Majesty ......".

Zhang Yan whispered softly and wanted to speak, but was directly blocked by Zhu Youxiao.

"Zitong, don't mention this."

Zhu Youxiao took a breath, calmed himself down, and no longer thought about it in his mind.

In this way, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, but although Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes, he did not go to sleep immediately, but thought about some future developments in his mind. After all, he came to this world, if he didn't continue to make some changes, he would most likely become Emperor Chongzhen, and Zhu Youjian would hang himself in the coal mountain.

Opened his eyes slightly and took a look, hugging his sleeping Zhang Yan tightly, the delicate face became a little red due to shyness, so that Zhu Youxiao couldn't turn his eyes, and when he saw this, Zhu Youxiao affirmed his thoughts.
