Chapter 196: Zhang Yan enters the palace
Hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhu Youxiao was also stunned, "Zhang Yan? Your sister Zhang Yan entered the palace? ”
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yan, and at this time, Zhang Yan's head was almost lowered under the table. Even if Zhang Yan reacted, Zhu Youxiao didn't think of it with Zhang Yan at all, after all, Zhu Youxiao would unconsciously take the thoughts and perspectives of modern people when he looked at things and problems, and he wouldn't think about that aspect at all.
Before the two Jin Dynasty in China, there was a tradition of concubine marriage, in which the sisters with the highest specifications married together; Medium is a woman of higher status who marries with a woman of the same clan or clans; The lowest specification is the maid dowry. The status of concubines is lower than that of wives, but they are much higher than concubines, and they have official status. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, although there was no system of concubine marriage, there were still many sisters who married the same person.
"Yes, Zhang Yan herself is willing to enter the palace." Zhang Yan nodded and said.
"Baozhu, you can do it yourself, anyway, you are Zhang Yan's sister, she is often in the palace during this time, let her accompany you more, she will still marry in the future, and after she gets married, there will be less time to chat with you." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, concubine ......" Zhang Yan realized that Zhu Youxiao had misunderstood her.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously. Zhu Youxiao still hasn't understood what Zhang Yan really meant.
"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well, and I want to go and rest for a while." Zhang Yan listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, although she felt uncomfortable, she could only say softly.
"Then you go and rest first." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
"The concubine also retired first." Zhang Yan said when she saw this.
"Do you want to summon the Imperial Doctor?" Zhu Youxiao asked again.
"Your Majesty, just let the queen go and take a look." Zhang Guoji also hurriedly said.
……
Zhu Youxiao always felt that the food was a little inexplicable, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't say where it was inexplicable.
After Zhu Youxiao sent Zhang Guoji away, he slowly walked to the palace back garden. Gonghou Garden is now a place where Zhu Youxiao often comes to exercise, since Zhu Youxiao likes to exercise, most of the concubines in the palace have also learned Zhu Youxiao's habits and also come to Gonghou Garden for a walk.
Zhu Youxiao wanted to entertain Zhang Guoji today, so he didn't eat with the other concubines, but when Zhu Youxiao came to the palace garden, most of the concubines were already walking and exercising in the palace garden.
There are many rules in the palace, although Zhu Youxiao never requires the concubines to follow the rules of the palace completely, but the concubines always consciously abide by them.
Even taking a walk is the same, when Zhu Youxiao comes, all the concubines will consciously rank behind Zhu Youxiao according to their rank. Among the concubines present today, Concubine Fan Hui has the highest rank, and those who are higher than her are not here today.
"Your Majesty, do you seem to have a mind?" Fan Huifei asked softly.
"Is there one? Probably so. Zhu Youxiao felt as if he wasn't thinking about anything.
Exercising with a large group of beauties every day is something that Zhu Youxiao is very happy about. In order to exercise fitness, Zhu Youxiao even copied some simple fitness equipment in later generations, and he is still digging a big swimming pool, which is expected to be completed when the hot weather comes next year.
"The emperor works day and night for state affairs, and he should focus on the dragon body." Fan Huifei said.
"It's not a state ......affair," Zhu Youxiao said softly. At the mention of Fan Huifei, Zhu Youxiao remembered what happened at dinner today.
"Is it a matter of the palace? The emperor said it and listened to it, and saw if the concubine could share some of the burden for the emperor? Fan Huifei said with a smile.
"Today, Baozhu wants her sister Zhang Yan to enter the palace, and I agreed, but I always feel that Zhang Yan seems to be a little unhappy, which makes me a little baffled." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Zhang Yan may be reluctant to enter the palace, right?" Fan Huifei said.
"The problem is that Zhang Yan said that Zhang Yan is willing to enter the palace." Zhu Youxiao replied.
"Then it must be that the emperor is too worried, how can Zhang Yan be unhappy? It is Zhang Yan's blessing to be favored by the emperor. Fan Huifei said with a smile.
"Who said that I want to spoil Zhang Yan......" When Fan Huifei said this, Zhu Youxiao immediately understood, it turned out that he had misunderstood Zhang Yan's meaning.
Fan Huifei looked at Zhu Youxiao with a smile and a word.
"Concubine Hui, why did you say that Baozhu sent Zhang Yan into the palace?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask.
"This ...... It's hard to say about concubines. Fan Huifei hesitated and said.
"Say, I won't pursue it." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Maybe it was caused by rumors some time ago, and the queen mother would have such an idea." Fan Huifei thought for a while and said.
"It's a lack of security! Didn't I say that the orb will always be my queen? Zhu Youxiao said softly.
"It is normal for the queen mother to have such worries, the queen mother has not come out, and now the queen mother's sister Zhang Yan has entered the palace, if she is favored by the emperor and gives birth to the prince, the position of the queen mother will naturally be more stable." Fan Huifei explained.
"Don't say it, this kind of thing is not allowed to be said in the palace in the future." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"No." Fan Huifei hurriedly replied.
Zhu Youxiao has too many wives, what he is most afraid of is that the harem will be in chaos and the sky will be dark, if he really gets another nine sons to take the heir like in the Kangxi period, then he wants to die. In his previous life, no matter how many male protagonists married and how many they gave birth, all of them were virtuous wives and filial piety, but when they came to him, the situation was completely different, everyone had their own ideas, and few of them were fuel-efficient lamps.
Zhu Youxiao always thought that if he crossed over, it would be best to cross into the emperor, and being an emperor would definitely be the pinnacle of a man's life, especially in feudal society, in order to meet the needs of the emperor in this regard, he also made detailed regulations from the system. There are few emperors in Chinese history who are polite in this regard, not mediocre emperors, and even the so-called generation of holy monarchs, few are polite. The only emperor who has achieved perfection in this regard is Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youji.
And Zhu Youxiao is not a saint, he also likes beautiful women, but his protagonist is a few rings less than others, which makes him dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi until now.
"You exercise on your own, I'm going back to Kunning Palace first." Zhu Youxiao decided to go back to Kunning Palace to meet Zhang Yan and Zhang Yan.
"No."
……
After the concubines watched Zhu Youxiao leave, they couldn't help but talk softly about Zhang Yan's intention to bring Zhang Yan into the palace.
"Sisters, the emperor just said that it is not allowed to discuss this matter in the palace." Hearing everyone's discussion, Fan Huifei said with a smile.
"No." The concubines said unwillingly.
