Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 278 The Harem
"Sister, you have only been in shape for a few months. During these two months, you need to be most careful. You must not walk around casually, and you must not be without someone around you for a moment. I will order it later and give it to the Compassionate Ning Palace. Send more maids and eunuchs over there to serve my younger sister. It is best for my younger sister to rest when she has nothing to do, and the food must be light. Now the internal funds are quite ample, not short of the money we need to support our health, but my younger sister If you need something, just teach your subordinates to buy it. The emperor is tolerant and magnanimous, and he will not care about spending a little money in the harem. This is a major issue related to the succession of the heirs!"

On the brocade couch in Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou took Concubine Yuan Gui's hand and instructed her earnestly.

The crown prince, king Ding, and Kunxing were all born after Zhou Hou, and Zhou Hou has rich experience in childbirth.Concubine Yuan Gui once gave birth to a son for Zhu Youjian, but unfortunately died in the seventh year of Chongzhen.Also as a woman, Zhou Hou understands the pain in Concubine Yuan Guifei's heart, and it is difficult for Concubine Yuan Guifei's soft and docile temperament to make people feel disgusted, so she is extra caring and caring for her in the harem. Also known as sisters.

Since the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen, first Zhou Hou had a happy event, and in the new year, Concubine Yuan Gui and Concubine Tian Gui also had babies one after another, which made Zhu Youjian very happy. The bloodline can also continue in this world.

"I'm sorry for my sister's concern. My sister's advice will be kept in my heart. My sister also knows how to rest on weekdays. I didn't come to visit because I was worried that my sister was about to give birth. Although my sister had given birth several times, But don’t be careless, and you must be careful in everything. Brother Hong and the others are growing up, but this palace has not added people for a long time. We will see peace tomorrow, and the harem will be happy again. The emperor’s Long Yanri The day is also full of joy, the gods and Buddhas in the sky are really eye-opening! My sister is thinking, after a few hundred days after the birth of a few children, we sisters will go to Wanshou Temple to buy a stick of incense and donate some sesame oil money, thank you How do you feel about the care of my Zhu family by the gods and Buddhas all over the sky?"

The death of her last child was a great blow to Concubine Yuan Gui. Since then, she often eats fast and recites Buddha, makes wishes and prays for blessings, and prays for the care of the Buddha so that she can conceive a dragon again.

I don’t know if it’s because of the Buddha’s blessing or other reasons. After a few years, I finally got my wish. Concubine Yuan Guifei was pleasantly surprised and worried. She was afraid that something bad would happen after the child was born, so she went to Wanshou Temple The idea of ​​offering incense and praying.

"Sister, that's a good idea! When the time comes, let's take Brother Lang and the younger ones together, and go to the West Lake to play first, and then go to the temple to offer incense on the way back, take a nap after eating, and then return to the palace."

"My younger sister listens to my elder sister. Regarding the trip, my younger sister roughly calculated the date. The incense offering will happen to be in March and April next year. There will be flowers and willows everywhere. Brother Hong and the others will definitely have fun! Hehe laugh!"

"Sister, don't mention going out to play! Ever since the emperor took the prince out of the palace a few times, this child has become a wild child, and he will sneak out of the palace whenever he rests every five days. It's useless, tell the emperor to know, but the emperor always looks like he will let it go, saying that the prince will inherit the great rule in the future, and he can't always sit and talk in this small place in the palace, or he will talk about things outside the palace. I don't know anything; I want to know the sufferings of the people, the price of salt and the price of food; I also say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and I will let a few children go farther in the future. But this For thousands of years, how can the prince's market come out of the palace to play like crazy? Emperor Wuzong's lesson is not far away, I am really worried that the prince will go astray! But the emperor is so determined, what can I do? Alas!"

Zhu Youjian from later generations is of course extremely opposed to the method of cultivating princes in the Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties.

History has proved that although many of the princes who grew up under the women in the deep palace have learned a lot of knowledge in books from their masters, they basically have no chance to go out of the palace gate to get close to the common people, so they know almost nothing about the world outside the palace. You know, this has led to their lack of sufficient cognition and means of how to govern the world after they ascended the throne, and they did not investigate the dark side of human nature. On the infamy of the king.

At this stage, the palace has been cleaned up very cleanly. With various measures and large investments, the living standards of the people in the capital have been greatly improved.Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, Wucheng Bingmasi and last year launched a joint strike operation in the capital, clearing out a large number of city foxes, rats, and green-skinned rogues. The security in the capital can be said to be the best time in history, so Zhu Youjian is not worried about Zhu Cihong's safety after leaving the palace.What's more, there are dozens of brocade guards who are either overt or covert to protect them. Besides, who would know that Zhu Cihong and others who are traveling in plain clothes are nobles?
Zhu Youjian was not satisfied that Zhu Cihong and other children were limited to activities in the capital, he had even bigger plans.

He planned to imitate Zhu Cihong's move to go to university in a different place after Zhu Cihong became an adult, encourage and support a few children to go further, to have a deeper understanding of Daming's current situation, and to get in touch with all kinds of people and things, so that they can be better when they take over the throne in the future. Without being deceived by others, you can make better decisions and control the overall situation.

Of course, this is a later story. Zhu Cihong, who was born in the second year of Chongzhen, is only nine years old this year, and it is still very early. Everything can be arranged and arranged more calmly.

"Who is this who is arranging me behind the scenes? Ha ha! The queen has always been open-minded, and she has a very clever mind. How come she has no decision when it is her own flesh and blood's turn?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youjian stepped in with his hands behind his back, Wang Chengen followed behind with a bowed body, and several female officials and eunuchs of Kunning Palace outside the emerald curtain knelt on the ground.

"The concubine has seen the emperor!"

"Slave to see the emperor!"

"Okay, okay, they are all from my own family, and they all have bodies. How can there be so many gifts! Qiushui also get up! Why doesn't Concubine Yuan rest in the palace? You are weak, so you should be more careful!"

Zhu Youjian quickly waved his hands to stop the two pregnant women from saluting, but Zhou Hou and Concubine Yuan Gui insisted on doing half a squatting salute.

"Courtesy cannot be discarded! The emperor is not only the king of the world, but also the husband of our sisters. If the concubine loses the etiquette and spreads the word, the world will laugh at me!"

Zhou Hou replied seriously.

Concubine Yuan Gui still had a gentle smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, the empress's mother respects the world, she should set an example everywhere, it's my fault! Sit down quickly, I'm afraid that the baby in your womb will be tired! Hehehe!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and sat on a brocade couch. After Wang Chengen knelt down to the queen and the concubine, he stood beside him without saying a word. He took a celadon teacup, poured half a cup of warm tea and quietly placed it on the low table in front of the brocade couch.

"Your Majesty just finished handling official business? Qiu Shui, tell Xiao Qin Zi to go to the Imperial Dining Room to pass the news that the Emperor is having lunch at Kunning Palace today!"

After Qiushui squatted down and turned around to go out, Zhu Youjian stopped her with a smile: "Why bother to look far away, Qiushui's cooking skills are very similar to mine, just ask her to make a few side dishes; two meat dishes are enough, The rest should be light, Qiu Shui should know, go!"

After being praised by the emperor, Qiu Shui happily rolled out the emerald green curtain like a gust of wind after seeing Zhou Hou nodded.

"Where's Kun Xing and brother Jiong? Brother Hong has gone out of the palace today. Could it be that the two of them followed suit?"

Zhu Youjian asked without seeing the lively and lovely Aimee Zhu.

"Your majesty knows what to say! These children are all playful now, and their former appearance of being educated and reasonable is almost gone. After returning from the palace, they are full of slang in the market, which is simply unbearable for the concubines! The prince's master Mr. Wang has approached his concubines several times, and the meaning in his words is extremely dissatisfied, Your Majesty, if this continues, the concubines are worried that the prince will have a bad opinion from outside the palace!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? They approached me about this matter last time, and I was speechless when I refuted it. They didn't dare to approach me, and they started to learn to detour!"
