Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"I'm not tired. In the past, I could walk several laps and ask your father to walk with me. But sitting all day long has worn out my muscles and bones.

The same goes for you. Let's talk about it, if you live a life of luxury and don't spend some time on yourself, you will gain weight.

You have natural feet anyway, so if we get married, it won’t be necessary, and we can just use a sedan chair.”

Princess Yan indicated to Zhang Xin that she didn't need any support and instead took Zhang Xin's arm.

"Did mother see it?"

Zhang Xin discovered something about her mother-in-law that she hadn’t noticed in her previous life – she was very attentive.

In her previous life, she let it go when she was selected as a candidate to go to Beijing.

It is not as strong as natural feet, and cannot run or jump. Even though the body is in good condition, it is still a little lacking when traveling.

Later, when the situation became critical and Xu did not let her go to defend the city, she only arranged for her to stay at home to guard the palace.

This time, she knew she would have to let go, and she also wanted to stand by her mother-in-law's side in the future, so as soon as she came back, she immediately cut off the foot binding cloth that had been used for several years.

There were no strict requirements on whether or not the daughter of a minor official had her feet bound, and her father turned a blind eye to it.

Because he was young, he recovered quickly. After half a year, his foot looked like a natural foot, only slightly smaller.

"It's good to be natural. When things get chaotic, you can't even run fast. You can only be slaughtered."

Princess Yan just said this lightly and didn't say anything else.

As a younger generation, it is impossible for her to criticize her elders. In fact, she did not approve of foot binding at all.

The women in the palace and the princesses in the major royal palaces did not bind their feet, but they allowed people to bind their feet. She had no way of commenting on such an awkward thing.

The group continued to move forward, and Princess Yan stopped in front of a palace on the midline between Xiaode Palace and Yande Palace.

"This is Ci'en Palace. We don't need to send anyone to clean it. Except for cleaning the entrance, nothing else is needed. The prince will send someone."

"Is it not used inside? These days, I passed by here every morning when I went to pay my respects to my mother, and the door was always closed. It was the same at night, and I never saw anyone coming in or out."

Zhang Xin asked the same question as in her previous life.

This is the doubt that has always existed in her heart.

This Ci'en Hall remained until Zhu Gaochi's death.

She revisited the place when she became Empress Dowager.

There were a few old eunuchs here at the time. They said that when my father-in-law was alive, he would come and stay for an hour or so every once in a while, and would leave with red eyes.

The old eunuch opened the door and let her in. Except for a dilapidated cushion on the open space in front of the shrine on the east side, the place was empty.

I don’t know if it has always been like this or if they cleared out their things when they moved back to Beijing.

"Well, don't worry about it. Someone will take care of it. Don't get close to me privately."

Princess Yan replied with the same words as in her previous life.

The group toured the palace, and Zhang Xin returned to Yande Palace with the list of people given by Bixi.

Zhu Gaochi ran away with injuries and no one knew where he had gone. She didn't have to deal with Zhu Gaochi and went straight into her study.

Spreading out the roster, Zhang Xin fell into deep thought.

My mother-in-law said that this month was just for her to get familiar with the environment and to get to know the people there, but she would not arrange any specific practical tasks.

It's up to her to handle other matters in the palace one by one, and take over when she can.

This is two or three years faster than the original progress.

Moreover, there are some differences between her mother-in-law and the one she remembered.

All she remembered was that her mother-in-law remained calm in the face of danger, and was decisive in killing people, with the demeanor of a great general.

During those years when the father-in-law could no longer tolerate it but had to grit his teeth and endure it, and even pretended to be crazy and stupid, the people in the palace were always in panic.

But no matter what difficult things we encounter, my mother-in-law is the backbone of everyone, calm, tolerant, wise and decisive.

All affairs in the palace, big and small, have always been in order.

Now that I think about it, my mother-in-law tolerated a lot of things that happened to her when she was young, and she didn't even realize it.

As for the matter of whether to use the sedan chair, she had no idea that her mother-in-law used it because she had bound feet.

Doing it again, she let go earlier, and her mother-in-law seemed to be more pleased with it.

The same goes for teaching her: as long as she understands something, just let her do it.

It’s not like I took care of her for several years in my previous life.

All these little things reflect the careful care and love that the elders give to the younger ones.

But the better the elders are, the more terrible things behind them seem.

If she could live her life over again, she sincerely hoped that Xu could live a long life! The same goes for her father-in-law.

In his previous life, his mother-in-law, Xu, died at the age of 45, Zhu Gaochi was 48, and his eldest son, Zhu Zhanji, was only 38.

The age at which my father-in-law passed away was quite normal. For a man who had been fighting all year round, living to the age of 64 was quite good.

Strangely, Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne the year after his father-in-law's death, but died within a year.

Then his eldest son Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne. He only sat on the throne for nine years and was always healthy. Suddenly, he fell seriously ill and died within three days.

In ten years, the Ming Dynasty had three emperors.

The emperors died one after another as if they were cursed, and each one was younger than the last.

As for the reason, she had no time to care about it when she was alive.

After being reborn and coming back home, I have been thinking about it over and over again in the past few years, but I still have no conclusion.

However, if my mother-in-law could live a few more years, my father-in-law would probably be more restrained and not act recklessly in court affairs.

In this way, Zhu Gaochi would not be left with such an unmanageable mess.

Ci'en Hall.

That was the first doubt in her mind.

The palace is larger than the palace, whether it was the later Forbidden City or the current Prince of Yan's Palace.

The two words "palace" are said together, with "palace" in front and "hall" in the back.

In terms of specifications, a palace is much larger than a palace and has more uses.

Work, residence, worship, ceremony.

The palace was left for the emperor's grandfather and the prince's uncle, so who is this one for? The words "Ci'en" should not be used casually.

At least he has to be an elder. If not an elder, he has to be older than my father-in-law.

Among the living people older than my father-in-law, the only one older than him is my third uncle, and they are not related.

The one who has already died is my second uncle, who is also not very close to me.

So, who is this Ci'en Hall for? Does it have anything to do with the death of people around them?

At that time, she was a new bride and didn't feel comfortable asking. Later, she became busy and forgot about it.

Now that I have come back to this, I realize that there are a lot of things I have overlooked before. My mother's family has not changed much, but the direction of the palace is completely different now.

While thinking about Zhang Xin, he stood up and moved his hands and feet slightly.

"Princess, please light a hand warmer."

Sleeve rolling suggestion.

She was so warm when she came back just now that she didn't feel it, but after the Crown Prince's wife sat down for a while, she felt the coldness penetrate into her bones even though she was standing.

It's colder in the house than outside.

"Forget it, it's overstepping the boundaries. My mother can't help it, I'll just move."

Zhang Xin waved her hand to refuse.

My great-grandfather set a rule that the northern vassal kings could only use charcoal basins for heating after October 15th and could only use warm rooms in November.

Although it can save a lot of money, this October is getting colder every year and it is really hard to bear.
