My Daming New Empire

At this time, Lu Zhu boldly said: "Your Highness, Concubine Taisun has not had a good appetite these few days, and she throws up whatever she eats. I hope His Highness can visit her."

According to the rules in the palace, any pregnant concubine automatically loses the right to serve the bed.

Zhu Zhanji has many concubines, one per day, and it will take two months to get on the wheel.These days, apart from occasionally seeing some pregnant concubines basking in the sun in the garden during the day, Zhu Zhanji would talk to them, but he really didn't comfort them at night.

Seeing Luzhu's uneasy look, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing, and said: "You think about the Lord, you are loyal, and I will not blame you. Now that you have said it, I will go to Aifei to sit for a while." .”

Wearing only an inner robe, Zhu Zhanji came to the apse with his hair loose, surrounded by a group of servants.

At this time, not long after dinner, in Sun Xian's apse, she and a group of concubines and maids were cutting the baby's swaddling clothes and clothes.

At night, for fear of hurting their eyes, they are not allowed to use needlework, so they usually embroider and sew during the day and cut at night.

"Your Highness is here,...why haven't you dried your hair yet?"

"It's done, I'm just too lazy to comb my hair. Anyway, I'm going to sleep later, so it's the same when I take care of it tomorrow morning."

Xue Shanggong touched his hair and saw that it was indeed done, so he didn't pursue it further.He smiled and said, "I'm afraid His Highness feels sorry for the green bamboos and green plums again, so he can't bear their tiredness!"

When the two women heard this, they stood aside with their heads down, not daring to answer.

They were specially arranged by Sun Xian to replace the four daughters in spring, summer, autumn and winter to serve Zhu Zhanji in the bath, for the purpose of solid petting.

The two women are also people with outstanding looks, but after all, they are still classified into the palace maid system.They are several grades behind Xue Shanggong, the chief female officer of Xingqing Palace, and even the grandson concubine treats Xue Shanggong very politely, how dare they argue with Xue Shanggong.

Sun Xian said with a smile at this time: "No one in the palace knows, His Highness seems to be puzzled, but he is the most compassionate person."

Before the sour words were finished, she retched again.Whether it's true or not, Zhu Zhanji must care about it at this time.

He came to Sun Xian's side, grabbed her little hand and asked, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai? But what's wrong?"

Sun Xian's face was full of satisfaction, and she said softly, "It's okay, it's just that I feel a little sick these days, and the reaction to morning sickness is a little more serious than others, so it's okay."

Zhu Zhanji sighed in his heart, having too many wives is the trouble.Many times I have to act in front of people, but after acting for a long time, it is difficult to see even my sincerity.

Whether it's Sun Xian or Hu Liangdi, their feelings for Zhu Zhanji are naturally unadulterated.However, in addition to getting Zhu Zhanji's love, what is more important for them is to establish their own image in front of other people and stabilize their status.

And Zhu Zhanji can't tear down the stage yet, he must maintain their status.

With other concubines present today, Sun Xian naturally had to do something, and Zhu Zhanji had to follow along, showing a mellow attitude so that others would not dare to offend the status of the grandson concubine.

This is not only to protect Sun Xian, but also to maintain the rules in the palace.

After chatting with Sun Xian for about a quarter of an hour, and asking for warmth, Zhu Zhanji said goodbye and left.

Xue Shanggong sent him all the way to the gate of Xiyuan before stopping. "Your Highness, this expedition will take a long time. You have to make early arrangements for which concubines and maids to serve you."

When the army goes out, even the general commander cannot bring his family with him, but as a royal family, this is what should be done.

For the heirs of the royal family, carrying on the family line is more important than winning a big battle.

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Then arrange for Liu Chenghui to go with her. She is proficient in medical skills. If I have a headache, I don't need to alarm the imperial physician."

"Bah, bah, my son Wuji, the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing is here, bless my grandson with no illness or disaster..."

After praying solemnly, Xue Shanggong said again: "Next time, you can't be so taboo... I understand, but Liu Chenghui's status is too low, and now Lan Liangdi is sterile, so you can let her serve you by your side. Form a circle of its own."

Zhu Zhanji went out to fight, and the eunuchs, maids, guards, and generals around him formed a system of their own.In the past, the handover point for everyone was on Zhu Zhanji, or it was coordinated by Li Liang.

But this time Li Liang made a mistake and was punished. Zhu Zhanji also wanted to keep him cool for a while so that he wouldn't get bloated.

After hearing Xue Shanggong's arrangement, he nodded and said, "That's fine, but Lan Liangdi has a simple mind, and she doesn't know if she can handle it."

Xue Shanggong smiled and said: "Di Lan Liangdi is just a little nerdy, she has little experience, she is not stupid at all. If she is really stupid, she can become sisters with most of the concubines in the palace? This person has a big personality On the other hand, after some training, it can become your right-hand assistant."

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "It's a pity, if you become my concubine and serve by my side, this position is perfect for you."

"His Royal Highness is making fun of my old lady again..." Xue Shanggong gave a blessing, saluted and said, "The old lady can just help His Highness take care of the house in this life, I don't want to worry about other things."

A 30-year-old woman called herself an old woman here, and Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing.In later generations, I don’t know how many women are still single in their 30s, and they still think that they have not grown up!

On April [-]th, Si Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites calculated that the best time to go out was the quarter in the afternoon on April [-]th.

The date was calculated, and preparations were in full swing, both in the palace and the court.

When Huang Fu returned to the capital, he took over the logistics of the entire army without even taking a day off.

The navy's expedition is much simpler than that of the army. It does not need to prepare a baggage team, does not need civilian husbands, does not need military horses, and naturally does not need to prepare horse feed.

However, the distribution of logistics supplies for each fleet is still a tedious task.

Although he has rich experience, but because he took over too late, he did not steal the limelight from Liu Jiang.

Instead, he put himself in a relatively low position, and only acted as a liaison between the navy, the Ministry of War, the emperor, and the grandson.

This is mainly because he already regards himself as a grandson, and his son is now highly valued by Liu Jiang, the naval captain, so he has no idea of ​​taking credit, but just filling in the gaps.

Although Zhu Zhanji always wanted to get in touch with this famous minister, but in order to avoid Zhu Di's taboo, he still resisted not meeting him alone.

The two of them only met from a distance at the court meeting, and they both left a good impression on each other.

And when all the capital was mobilized to prepare for Taisun's expedition, Yang Zhangde, who was far away in Hubei, hurriedly got on the boat back to the capital.

On this trip home, Yang Zhangde was proud of himself, and he did return home in good clothes.

Although he was expelled from the mountain by Wudang, he grew up in Wudang after all, and he also knows that Wudang is now listed as the ancestor of Taoism in the world by Zhu Di, so he has to care about some influences.

So even though he was expelled from the court, he didn't have the slightest resentment, he was only grateful to Wudang.He knows very well that without Wudang, he would not be where he is today.

So after returning to Wudang, not only did he not do his best as a special envoy, but he always regarded himself as a Wudang disciple, and his position was very correct.

In terms of lay disciples, he is also a generation of Xuanzi, Taoist name Xuande, in terms of family, he belongs to the line of Tongwei Daoist.

When he returned to Wudang, he respectfully brought his wife to visit his master.As a special envoy, Wudang couldn't expel him this time. After being interviewed by Daoist Tongwei, the master and apprentice were also deeply moved.

Yang Zhangde presented ten altars of good wine, and asked his wife Li Qing'er to pay a visit to the master. Neither party mentioned the fact that he was expelled from the mountain.

After being interviewed by Daoist Tongwei, it became logical to meet other uncles afterwards.After a few days, although many gifts were sent out, Wudang accepted him again.

Yang Zhangde was very excited about this.He specified that he had a low family background, and he had no foreign aid in the court except for the support of his grandson.

Wudang's ability to accept him again means that he has another party to support him.

Although Xuanzhen left the grandson's side now to teach Zhu Zhanji's younger brothers, it is still Wudang's Xuancheng who wants to take his place.

Xuan Cheng and Yang Zhangde were not much different in age, and they often played and practiced together when they were young, and their skills were not weaker than Yang Zhangde's.

And this time Taisun deliberately asked Wudang to appoint many people to serve as his guards, Wudang didn't discount it at all, and chose 36 warrior disciples in their early twenties to serve as Zhu Zhanji's personal guards.
