My Daming New Empire

After seeing off Zhu Di's chariot, Zhu Zhanji helped Zhu Gaochi, who was almost dying, onto the chariot, but he didn't sit in the chariot, but followed him and chatted with him.

As the prince, Zhu Gaochi, even if he doesn't like to fight, but he still pays attention to the war.He asked about some details about Zhu Zhanji on the battlefield. Although he had mentioned it in a private message before, Zhu Zhanji took the trouble and showed off to him.

After passing through the Duanmen Gate and passing through the Meridian Gate, Zhu Di’s chariot entered the Youshun Gate from here, while Zhu Zhanji’s and Zhu Gaochi’s guards of honor separated from here, entered the Zuoshun Gate, passed Wenyuan Pavilion, and arrived at the Wenhua Gate.

The concubine Zhang led a group of Zhu Gaochi's wives and a group of children waiting at the door.

Zhu Zhanji paid homage to his mother and concubine, and other people paid homage to Zhu Zhanji. They made noise at the door for a long time before they entered the Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Zhanji noticed that Sun Xian was hiding behind the crowd, looking at him with a hint of melancholy.

Although the official decree has not yet been issued, the eunuchs have already started to form a concubine selection group, and the news of choosing a concubine for the grandson has spread throughout the country.

The high-ranking eunuchs of course have no interest in joining the concubine selection group, but those eunuchs who are usually unsuccessful are all proud to join the mission.

This is not the recruitment of ordinary court ladies, but the selection of concubines, everyone in the world cheered because of this, especially those who have girls of the right age at home, and want to take this opportunity to climb to the top.

In order to prevent chaos in the harem, the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty decided that most of the concubines came from ordinary people, and at most they were only from the middle class.

But if they are selected, the empress and concubine's family will jump into the dragon's gate, and at least they will be granted the title of Earl.

Therefore, ordinary families in Daming all use this as a shortcut to the sky. In order to get their daughter selected, they will definitely voluntarily spend a large amount of money in bribes.

Being able to join the mission is a big fat job, even more extra money than reading the imperial decree of promotion.

Since the grandson's concubine selection has been put on the agenda, Sun Xian will naturally be worried.Although she has been trained as a queen since she was 11 years old, she has not received the gold book, and there are still variables in this matter.

Zhu Zhanji smiled at her, nodded slightly, and she became happy, with the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

At the age of ten, she can be recognized as a stunning beauty in the same place. Zhu Zhanji's grandmother, mother, and grandfather are all attracted to her. She was raised in the palace at the age of 11 and became a candidate for the queen. This is enough to prove her talent beauty.

Moreover, she has been deliberately guided and trained, and her manners, makeup, and personality have also been cultivated very well. Even if she is arranged to be a queen, she can't find anything wrong.

Even though Zhu Zhanji was well-informed and battle-tested, he couldn't help but feel a slight sway in his heart at this moment.

He has never been able to make love with a woman. During this period of time, he spent a rather lewd time with the four women in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The four daughters asked him for whatever they wanted, and never resisted him, and no matter how much he tossed about, they were all just flattery.Being a man in this era, especially a man with power, is much more sexually beneficial than later generations.

No matter how lewd you are, you will not be blamed.

The gate of desire is opened, and it is difficult to close it again.However, Zhu Zhanji is not a young man who has never seen the world. There are eight hundred women in the previous two lives, so he is not so anxious to eat her before the wedding.

It's one thing to fall in love with the maids of honor, but quite another to fall in love with the intended queen.

Queens are generally not allowed to take contraceptive pills. If they give birth to a child before they are married, it is a disadvantage of virtue, and she should not even think about being a queen.

Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace for the first time today, and everyone gathered in the side hall for dinner.

Zhu Gaochi leaned in the special high-backed seat, looking drowsy and without any appetite at all.It's just because Zhu Zhanji returned to the palace today, and he was holding on to the entertainment.

Looking at his appearance, Zhu Zhanji also felt a little distressed, but looking at the series of seven wives and more than a dozen children, Zhu Zhanji has no sympathy for him.

Although he is his father, but with his body, I am afraid that he can only be in the lower position on the bed!But she is also lustful!

"Father, you have been tired all day today, why don't you go to rest earlier. The child is not someone else. If we don't get together today, we will have a chance to meet tomorrow."

Zhu Gaochi hummed, but didn't force himself. "I'm really tired today, so I'll go to rest first."

Today must be the turn of Concubine Zhang to serve the bed. Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, he immediately stood up and walked to Zhu Gaochi's side, holding his arm, nodded to Zhu Zhanji and said, "Let me serve the prince to rest."

Zhu Zhanji also nodded to her and moved away.He ordered Guo Li, who was serving beside him, to say, "Ambassador Guo, ask someone to bring the eight concubines' favorite dishes to her room."

Guo Li replied yes, and arranged for the eunuchs to prepare.Concubine Jing nodded to him to express her gratitude, and asked two strong eunuchs to support Zhu Gaochi, and followed behind.

This concubine Zhang is the daughter of Zhang Fu, and also the niece of Zhaoyi's noble concubine Zhang. For this reason, her position in the Wenhua Palace is relatively detached.

Except for the crown princess, all the people headed by Zhu Zhanji got up one after another and sent them out.

Crown Princess Zhang's attention was always on Zhu Zhanji, and when Zhu Gaochi left, she couldn't help holding Zhu Zhanji's arm and tremblingly said: "My son has suffered, and his complexion has darkened a lot."

Zhu Zhanji raised his arms and said with a smile: "The child is dark, but he is also taller and stronger."

Jiaxing has grown to five years old. As the eldest princess, she has always been the most favored one in the palace.Only she dared to pull Zhu Zhanji's clothes and said, "Brother Taisun is so tall, Jiaxing has to look up to see you."

Zhu Zhanji picked her up and made her laugh at himself, "This way you don't have to look up!"

She reached out and touched Zhu Zhanji's upper lip, and said with a smile, "My brother is going to grow a beard too!"

Seeing their brothers and sisters being intimate, Mrs. Zhang was also full of smiles, and told Guo Li: "The grandson is running all the way, I am afraid he is already hungry, let's have a feast!"

The other concubines and a group of younger brothers and sisters sat down again and began to eat.

Zhu Gaochi was not there, so the Zhang family was the main one.In order to let Zhu Zhanji eat more, Mrs. Zhang kept holding the chopsticks and didn't put them down, but she didn't eat much. She just watched Zhu Zhanji eat.

This son is her pride and her reliance, especially after the Northern Expedition, there are rumors inside and outside the palace that the grandson was brave and killed 43 enemies.

She is both proud and worried.At this moment, seeing him wolfing down his meal in front of her made me feel very satisfied.

It wasn't until after dinner that she said: "It's late today, I'll talk to you tomorrow. But the concubine election is coming soon, and Sun's heart is naturally anxious, you young couple should also go and talk to you."

The little guys all laughed, and Sun Xian's head almost dropped under the table.

(I wrote [-] words today, and my head was dizzy. I went to bed first, and I will try to keep it up tomorrow.)

Chapter 68 Back to the Palace

Coming out of the side hall, Sun Xian lowered her head and followed Zhu Zhanji closely with small steps.Every time she secretly glanced at the tall figure in front of her, she would immediately feel overwhelmed and her cheeks would become hot.

From the age of 11, she knew that the honor, disgrace, sorrow and joy of her life were all tied to this man.

The memories of before she was ten years old have faded in her mind now, and sometimes in her dreams, she even forgot the appearance of her own parents.

In her life, there is only how to be a qualified queen and how to please this man.

She knows all his preferences, what kind of food he likes to eat, what kind of clothes he wears, he likes to practice martial arts, and he cares for her like a younger sister.

Regardless of whether he treats her well or not, she has already regarded him as her only backer, and her life will always be dominated by him.

She doesn't understand those feelings and loves, she only knows that it is enough to regard him as her own heaven.

She didn't feel it when she was a child, but since she started to develop, she knew the difference between men and women. Every time she saw him, she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Zhu Zhanji, who was walking in front, stopped when he saw Li Liang and the others guarding outside the Wenhua Hall.

Sun Xian was unprepared, and ran straight into Zhu Zhanji's back. Sun Xian couldn't help but let out a low cry, and stretched out her hand to touch his strong back.

Ashamed.
