Faced with Zhu Zhanzhen's frivolous attitude, Sun Ruowei hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness..." But he didn't know how to stop him.
Li Xiaozhu, on the other hand, raised his head and returned to Zhu Zhanzhen in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Is this the son of the Ming Emperor?"
Sun Ruowei was even more surprised. Zhu Zhanzhen was notoriously eccentric. Although he had a good relationship with him, he didn't seem to have a very good temper to outsiders. Li Xiaozhu mocked him head-on like this, and he didn't know what would happen.
Zhu Zhanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman in front of him. Did she look like a princess? Her sister was so coquettish that Zhu Zhanxang felt that she was pretending to be a beautiful folk girl.
Li Xiaozhu had a very arrogant temper, so Zhu Zhanchen turned around and smiled: "Let's go and take a walk in my yard."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanzhen was not angry, Sun Ruowei felt relieved. They followed behind and Sun Ruowei told Li Xiaozhu: "Princess Xiaozhu, our Fifth Highness has a very good heart, but he has a weird temperament. You must not confront him head-on."
."
Li Xiaozhu nodded.
In the small courtyard, Jixiang Fugui was cleaning the courtyard. Chu'er looked forward to the return of His Highness, but instead saw a pretty girl behind His Highness.
"Your Highness." Chu Er saluted respectfully.
"Let me introduce you. This is the princess of North Korea, Lee Hyo Joo. She will also be in the palace in the future. You people recognize people's faces, so don't quarrel with her when the time comes."
When they heard that it was a North Korean princess, several people saluted one after another. Li Xiaozhu looked at Chu'er and Sang Yu. He didn't expect that the two maids in Zhu Zhanzhen's yard were so beautiful.
I'm afraid it's impossible to trap him with color.
Sang Yu took out the pastry she made, and Li Xiaozhu looked at her. If such a long-legged cook was in the Joseon palace, she would definitely be included in the harem by the king, but here Zhu Zhanzhen is just a cook.
"My brother once told us that the Ming Dynasty was a land of great wealth, and we have seen it after walking for three months on this journey." Li Xiaozhu, who sat down to drink tea, praised her. She always speaks in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
The brother she refers to is Li Ti, the crown prince of Korea. When the Ming Dynasty recognized the status of Korea, the king of Korea sent him to pay tribute, laying the foundation for friendly relations between the two countries.
Therefore, Li Xiaozhu was full of longing for Daming, so she actually had no resistance to being arranged to come over for marriage, but her marriage partner seemed not serious.
Sun Ruowei just took her to get acquainted with the palace a little, and she couldn't sit still for a long time. After a while, she got up and left. Zhu Zhanzhen sent away the worries of the two of them.
I wonder if I am in conflict with the Korean Goryeo Dynasty. The fate of two princesses from the past and present dynasties, Lee Hsien-yu and Lee Hyo-joo, has been arranged for me by coincidence.
"Your Highness, is that princess here to get married?" Chu'er asked after seeing the person leave.
"Yes, you can see it all?"
"Is it Young Master He?"
Zhu Zhanchen nodded.
Chu Er gave a "kindly" reminder: "Your Highness, according to the management, if you get married, the vassal king will probably be granted a place close to He Qin's country in the future. For example, if you marry Jiaozhi, you will be granted the title of Yunnan and Guangxi. After this year, Your Highness can be granted the title of county prince."
Already."
"You know quite a lot."
"Listen to what the nobles in the palace say."
Zhu Zhancheng naturally knew about this, and according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it was unlikely that a person from another country who came to marry would be the princess of the vassal. Depending on the princess's intentions, the older one would be given to Zhu Zhanchun, and Zhu Zhanzhen
Chun is not yet a concubine, but it seems that she is intended to be Zhu Zhanquan's concubine.
Thinking about it carefully, Zhu Zhanchun was greatly surprised. If a North Korean princess became Zhu Zhanchun's concubine and gave birth to the eldest son, then Zhu Zhanchun would have no chance of being emperor in this life, because the eldest son had foreign ancestry, and the Manchu Dynasty's
It is impossible for civil and military officials to agree.
Of course, you can depose the eldest son, but in ancient times, teachers were very famous. If you inexplicably depose the eldest son or the principal concubine, a group of censors will have to consult you.
However, the two princesses who got married in the same country were both well-educated and sensible, so under normal circumstances there would be no excuse for being annulled.
In order to avoid telling the truth, I, the legitimate son, was also pulled out, and there was one princess for each of the legitimate sons and daughters, and the one who gave you Zhu Zhanchun was the older one with a higher status. This made the concubines in the harem dare not say anything, only
How could Zhu Zhanchun's biological mother dare to speak out if she was dissatisfied?
Of course, the Crown Princess does not have to arrange for Zhu Zhanyu to be a foreign concubine. After all, this will also affect Zhu Zhanyu's eldest son who will be born in the future.
Zhu Zhanzhen is young now, and it will still be six or seven years before he officially gets married. It's still early, and many things can happen in the meantime, some of which happen naturally, and some of which can also be controlled by humans.
But Zhu Zhanchuan was different. His eldest brother Zhu Zhanji had chosen his concubine, and it would be his turn next. When the time came, the concubine would be taken care of quickly, and at worst, he would be given two more beautiful side rooms, and the whole court would be civilized and military.
At that time, the Crown Princess will have to be praised for her virtues, and her non-biological son will be so caring.
After a few actions, Zhu Zhanyu's backyard was far less orthodox than Zhu Zhanji's, which was enough to make him very anxious.
Most of the women's methods are aimed at women's affairs. They are all feminine methods, but people have no choice but to accept them.
His mother was known as a virtuous person, but being able to hold down so many concubines of the prince and securely occupying the position of the boss in the den of tigers and wolves requires more than just being virtuous.
I can't help but want to give my mother a thumbs up, what a good idea.
Zhu Zhanjun was not sealed off to the border near North Korea in history, but he crossed over on his own and changed history for sure. Who can say for sure.
Sang Yu came over and said, "Your Highness, yesterday the maid in His Majesty's courtyard sent some spices from the Western Regions. They have a strange fragrance."
Zhu Zhanzhen took a look and wondered, isn't this cumin? He ordered: "Sang Yu, prepare the stove, let's grill the mutton skewers."
"Mutton kebabs? What are they?"
"The mutton is dressed with branches and the fat and lean meat are alternately sprinkled with cumin spices. It tastes great."
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanzhen asked them to take out the stove. There was still fresh mutton in the kitchen, and he started cooking it himself. Sang Yu followed Zhu Zhanzhen's example.
Under the charcoal fire, the aroma of the meat filled the air, and the smell became even more fragrant after being sprinkled with cumin. Hu Shanggong who was passing by followed the aroma and walked in.
Hu Shanwei saw several people grilling mutton skewers around the stove and was quite surprised: "Your Highness, what kind of way is this?"
"Hu Shanggong, come and try it too."
He took the mutton skewers from Zhu Zhanzhen and used his sleeves to cover his eating. After taking a bite, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and a little grease flowed from his cherry red lips.
"Simple grilled food can have such a taste. Sang Yu, you will teach the chefs of Shang Food Bureau later." Hu Shanggong was very surprised after eating the taste.
Sang Yu nodded happily.
Hu Shanggong continued: "Your Highness, I heard that a princess from North Korea came today. Do you like it?"
"She looks pretty cute."
"As long as you like it, Master."
Zhu Zhanzhen asked curiously: "Hu Shanggong, is there any progress in choosing a concubine for my eldest brother?"
"Of course there are. In the second half of the month, beautiful ladies will enter the palace one after another."
"I heard that there is also Hu Shanggong's sister among them."
Hu Shanwei's expression changed. How did Zhu Zhanzhen know about this? She had been carefully guarding the information.
