I secretly thought that women tend to be sentimental as they get older, and even Zhang Yan is not immune to this.
Looking at her peerless face that still retains charm and is still not inferior to Chen Yuanyuan, I sighed in my heart.
He naturally knew that Zhang Yan must be lonely in her heart, and seeing her face getting older day by day, it would be strange not to feel sad.
But if you want to blame him, you can only blame his father Chongzhen for not living up to expectations and letting down the affection of others.
"Hong'er, although the three Chen Yuanyuan girls are of low status, they are also very beautiful and talented. If you like them, you can favor them occasionally. Even if they are as ridiculous as last night, it won't hurt. But I heard that the three of them left the palace this morning.
At that time, everyone was holding an imperial edict in their hands. Did Xun'er have something to ask them to do and he had to specially issue an edict?"
After Zhang Yan adjusted her emotions, she considered her words. After speaking, she pretended to look at Zhu Cixiang curiously.
"My child plans to talk to my uncle about this today. My child really likes Yuanyuan and the three girls, and sympathizes with their past experiences. And they all also love my child, so my child plans to designate them as concubines."
Zhu Cihong also knew that Zhang Yan must have guessed it, otherwise he would not have come so early in the morning, so he did not hide it from her and said directly.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhang Yan didn't have any surprise on her face, but she frowned, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Hang'er, no matter what, they were still girls from a brothel before. If you really like it, make a wife and make them a wife."
You can place her outside the palace, or even call her into the palace to stay by your side to serve you, but directly canonizing her as a concubine is really detrimental to your reputation!"
After saying that, he also sighed lightly.
The emperor favored several brothel girls. This happened before in history, and it was not a big deal. However, it was unprecedented for the emperor to directly ennoble them as concubines. It would inevitably cause ridicule to the people of the world and even future generations.
"Of course this child understands, but since they have become children's women, children will naturally give them a decent status and will not let them suffer any more injustice. As for whether they are famous or not, children can be happy with themselves, and they really don't care.
"
Zhu Cixi waved his hands and said indifferently.
As a person of later generations, he really doesn't think much of reputation in this area. He will not wrong himself for the sake of that illusory reputation.
"I don't know how many generations they have been blessed by cultivating, but to meet someone like you, Xinger... ugh!"
Zhang Yan paused for a moment before saying this, and then sighed softly.
Even she couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous of the three women, but she didn't continue to persuade them.
Instead, he said: "Xun'er, you want to confer them as concubines. You can't just let them show up in public, right? Forget it about Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun, but Chen Yuanyuan and Feng Yuesi... Sigh! Let's find someone else to take over!"
"This child naturally understands, but Fengyue Division and Propaganda Supervisor cannot do without them for the time being, so I gave them two years to train successors and improve related systems."
Zhu Cixi nodded and then explained.
"Two more years?"
When Zhang Yan heard that it would take another two years, she couldn't help but frown again.
"Um."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to take care of it, but even though you are young, you still have to cherish your dragon body. It's better not to do ridiculous things like last night."
Zhang Yan said with a serious face.
Seeing her being so direct, Zhu Cixiang blushed in embarrassment.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan only said a few words, and asked the palace maid to bring in the big tonic soup, and gave some instructions before standing up to leave.
