In the palace, the Queen is carefully examining the beauties in front of her.
The beauties in front of her are all beautiful, with graceful figures, spring-like eyes, and delicious looks. Even Queen Zhang couldn't help but nod her head to express her satisfaction after reading it.
"Well, not bad~"
"I heard that the beauties sent as tribute from Korea have gone through rigorous training and are particularly good at serving people. When I saw her today, she certainly lived up to her reputation."
Queen Zhang nodded slightly.
North Korea often pays tribute to the Emperor of Heaven, including Korean ginseng, East China Sea pearls, mink skins, tiger skins, BMWs and other rare and precious treasures. At the same time, every time the tribute is paid, several beauties must be brought as tribute.
This practice has not stopped since Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were full of praise for the beauties paid tribute by the Korean state. Zhu Yuanzhang even made several Korean beauties his concubines.
By the time of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi did not like beauties, but every time North Korea paid tribute, it was still necessary to pay tribute to beauties. For these beauties who paid tribute, their fate was tragic, and they could only grow old and die in this palace.
But this is their fate and cannot be changed.
Queen Zhang had heard about the power of North Korea's tribute beauties before, so she had always been on guard against it, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would fall in love with his daughter.
Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi has always been very single-minded, and he has never glanced at any of his other women from beginning to end, which is considered strange among emperors.
"You guys listen carefully~"
"You will be the prince's people from now on. You must serve the prince well. Especially this first time, you must satisfy the prince. This first time for the prince of Ming Dynasty is very important."
Queen Zhang said to the beauties in front of her with a straight face.
She paid close attention to her husband, Emperor Hongzhi, but she had a different face for her son. This was Zhu Houzhao's first time, so she arranged it directly for Zhu Houzhao.
Because the Hongzhi Emperor has always had only one Empress Zhang, even the regular beauty contests for emperors in previous dynasties have been stopped. The only young and beautiful women suitable for the palace are beauties from Korea and Japan as tribute.
Arranging this kind of thing for the prince is not uncommon among ancient royal families. Even before the princess got married, there were queens or concubines who specially sent maids to test the fighting ability of the prince consort.
Of course, children who grew up in the royal family generally do not need to try this aspect, because usually very early on, the maids around these princes will secretly climb into the prince's bed, hoping to soar into the sky and become a phoenix.
But Zhu Houzhao was in a worse situation. After stealing things that were not suitable for children, Emperor Hongzhi believed Liu Jin's words and felt that being exposed to things that were not suitable for children too early was very harmful.
So the strictest order was issued, and all the maids around Zhu Houzhao were replaced by young eunuchs, without any chance of contact.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are no palace maids around, and there is no contact with things inappropriate for children, so naturally I don¡¯t understand anything.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: and beauty pageants are already in full swing all over the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao has grown up, and he should learn and know some things. What's more, the royal family's development is related to the country's country and the future of the old Zhu family.
Naturally, this matter fell on Queen Zhang. She was the Queen and Zhu Houzhao's biological mother, so she had no shirk of responsibility.
What's more, seeing that my belly is getting bigger day by day, I have to quickly arrange Zhu Houzhao's affairs while I still have the energy, so this is the scene in front of me.
Queen Zhang is choosing a beauty for Zhu Houzhao.
"Yes, Queen~"
Several beauties replied in unison, each of them slightly excited.
¡°I originally thought that I would die of old age in the Ming Dynasty Palace and be a widow for the rest of my life, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would have the opportunity to serve His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty now.
Although they are Koreans and not from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a good relationship with North Korea. Many of the Korean beauties who paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty were made concubines, and some gave birth to many princes and princesses. During the Chengzu period, Zhu Di doted on one The North Korean beauty was named Concubine Quanxian, and after the death of the queen, she was intended to be in charge of the Sixth Palace.
Even in unofficial history, there are rumors that Zhu Di was not actually born to Empress Ma, but to the tribute daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang who was attacked by North Korea, and there is a lot of evidence.
Zhu DiConcubine choose some beauties for your majesty to serve your majesty? "
Queen Zhang looked at Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes carefully, and after thinking about it, she asked tentatively.
She didn't bring this up once or twice. She was the only one in the harem. Although she was favored, she was often scolded. People said she was jealous and monopolized the emperor's favor, causing the royal family's heirs to wither, etc. some type of.
So she proposed to Emperor Hongzhi many times that he should open up the harem and expand the royal family, but she was rejected by Emperor Hongzhi every time.
"No need~"
"I only love you."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Queen Zhang, smiled and shook his head.
After witnessing the battles in the harem of the previous dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi made up his mind very early on that he would never let the same thing happen in his harem, so he only doted on Queen Zhang, so that the harem would be extremely clean from the beginning. In the end, I never worried about this matter. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
