Prince of Chaos

Chapter 220
In Jingyang Palace, I chatted with Concubine Gong and Zhu Xuanyuan for about an hour. When it was close to noon, Zhu Changluo and Shangguan Lanxin also left.

At this time, they had to rush back to the Ciqing Palace to deal with the affairs after the big wedding.

As for what it is?

This is really embarrassing.

After returning to Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo and his crown princess will accept congratulations from the side concubine and the following concubines.

Zhu Changluo was a little dazzled looking at the Yingyingyanyan that filled the hall.

The number of daughters-in-law is a bit overwhelming.

The original eight selected attendants, together with the current Crown Princess, two side concubines with a lower status, and four talents.

Just a rough count would require as many as 15 people!This does not include the remaining 40 or so backup concubines who have no rank but are slightly higher than the palace maids.

Not to mention whether Zhu Changluo's small body can bear it, even if he does not rest for a month, he will not be able to see these more than 50 "daughters-in-law".

At this time, Zhu Changluo really understood why the ancient emperor died early.

They are really overworked and exhausted.

However, Zhu Changluo, who has traveled for so long, also understands the rules here.

Although these dozens of women are his women, how many he is willing to touch and sleep with in the end depends on his own mood.Maybe, after a few years, Zhu Changluo is also a dedicated and nostalgic good man, and he has always been affectionate with the princess and the others.

Naturally, the rest of the dozens are just like that. After a certain number of years, they can also be released from the palace like normal court ladies.

However, it is still a bit early to say this.

Who knows how capable Zhu Changluo is?What if he is particularly capable?

After accepting the tea offerings from the two side concubines and talented people, Shangguan Lanxin's status as the main concubine in the palace was finally completely stabilized in the Ciqing Palace.

Zhu Changluo also looked at his well-behaved and sensible "wives" with a smile on his face. For the first time, he felt so happy to be a time traveler.

Next is the allocation of the subordinate palaces under the Ciqing Palace.

Undoubtedly, Shangguan Lan and several high-ranking side concubines and talented people have obtained corresponding independent palaces as their sleeping quarters, while the remaining concubines with low status have been arranged to live in a unified way, just like ordinary court ladies in the palace. Living in Ciqing Palace.The fate waiting for them is either to be favored by Zhu Changluo and become a phoenix from then on.Or he knew that he would be released from the palace when he was old.

However, if you really want to endure it, you will have to endure it for many years.

It was simply an extravagant wish for court ladies in the Ming Dynasty to leave the palace.

Because, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no express regulation on the release of palace maids. The matter of releasing palace maids depends entirely on the emperor's mood. If he thinks about it, he will release it once. If he forgets, he may not release it once in decades.

Just like when Emperor Xianzong Chenghua first came to the throne, Li Xian, a scholar at the time, couldn't bear to see this situation.

Therefore, Li Xian went to Shu Xinjun and said: "The weather is not harmonious, and the Yin Qi is too strong. From Xuande to Tianshun, there are too many people in the palace, and the sorrow and resentment are very serious. It is advisable to release them all."

Until this time, the newly enthroned Emperor Chenghua was kind and let some court ladies out of the palace.And these maids who were released for a long time were all selected into the Forbidden City in the first year of Xuande. By the eighth year of Tianshun when Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, a full 38 years had passed!

According to the average age of maids entering the palace at the age of 13, these 38 years have passed, and the maids who entered the palace at the beginning have all been over half a hundred and become old women.

It can be seen how inhumane some systems of the Ming Dynasty were!Of course, what is even more inhumane is the sacrificial burial system, but this system has been abolished by the Ming Dynasty God of War.Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a piece of good governance with great progressive significance!This also made the Ming God of War gain such a shameful brilliance in the historical evaluation of later generations.

After that, the matter of releasing the court lady, although, still has not been institutionalized.

However, according to past practice, the age at which these palace ladies who want to leave the palace will not be too young, they will not be released until they are about 30 years old.

Of course, many of them still have no chance to leave the palace, they can only die alone in this deep palace that is magnificent on the outside but dark and decaying on the inside.

Then, when they are old, they will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau for the elderly. If there is no family member to collect them after death, they will be sent to the Jingle Hall for incineration.From then on, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in the vast world.

Therefore, for these backup concubines who have no taste, their biggest wish at this time is to get Zhu Changluo's blessing, and then change their fate.

After arranging these things, Zhu Changluo went to Xishan Huangzhuang, where he had been away for a long time.

Zhu Changluo hasn't been to Xishan Huangzhuang for almost half a month since he was preparing for his big wedding.This almost suffocated Zhu Changluo to death.

Now, it's almost too busy.Naturally, Zhu Changluo quickly seized this opportunity and left the palace.

On the way to Xishan Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo also asked Wei Zhongxian to call Zhong Huamin over.

He wanted to take Zhong Huamin to Xishan Huangzhuang to have a look, and casually ask Zhong Huamin to learn about the process and rules of the marriage selection process of Princess Daming.

Otherwise, if you just change the rules of the princess mansion based on what you take for granted, you may not only be thankless for your efforts, but may even be attacked by moralists.

Such a result is not what Zhu Changluo wants to see.

After Zhong Huamin was found by Wei Zhongxian, he saluted Zhu Changluo first.

Zhu Changluo didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Get in the car, I have something to ask you."

When Zhong Huamin heard Zhu Changluo's direct voice, he didn't refuse, and got into Zhu Changluo's carriage directly.

After getting into the carriage, Zhong Huamin honestly sat across from Zhu Changluo, waiting for Zhu Changluo's questioning.

After Zhu Changluo took a sip of a glass of water, he began to ask: "What are the rules for choosing marriages for princesses in this dynasty?"

Zhong Huamin said: "Your Majesty, since the Emperor Yingzong in this dynasty, the selection of marriages by princesses has been dominated by civilians, and in the 13th year of Emperor Xiaozong's Hongzhi, the Sanfa Division restricted the entry of the prince consort and his family by the rules of the Penal Regulations. After becoming an official, this rule has been followed to this day, and it has become a rule."

After Zhu Changluo finished listening, he pondered for a while, and then asked, "Where was Emperor Yingzong before?"

Zhong Huamin didn't expect that Zhu Changluo would ask such a question. Zhong Huamin was stunned by this question. For a while, it was really difficult to answer Zhu Changluo's question.

Zhong Huamin sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Before Emperor Yingzong, the captains-in-laws chosen for marriage by the princesses of this dynasty were usually from honorable families."

Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

Then, after a while, Zhu Changluo continued to ask: "Then what will happen if I want the princess to choose a marriage partner based on nobles or noble families?"

After Zhong Huamin heard this, he immediately said in shock: "Your Highness, no!"
