eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 458 The Harem
There are many rules in the court, and even Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Concubine Shun to say this.For any other person in the harem, he couldn't imagine who would say such a thing.

But the surprise is the surprise, he is not a thin-skinned innocent boy, the girl is innocent, and he is at your disposal, so he naturally lowered his head.

Concubine Shun didn't let her go, she just slowly closed her eyes.

The heat is passing, and there is some special fragrance from the neck.

Zhu Houzhao only felt that it felt very soft and warm.

What is there to say?

The lips with white teeth and peony, the pearl ears reflect the cheeks of hibiscus.

My impression is just one sentence: It’s so damn good to be the emperor.

Later, he simply stayed in Shou'an Palace. Years later, he hadn't stayed in Shou'an Palace, and sometimes he thought it was unfair for this Mongolian woman. Living alone, saying that she is an imperial concubine, is actually any different from going to jail.

At night, they leaned against the door together, the sky was full of stars, and they talked about the things on the grassland when they were young, how to milk the goats, how to make kumiss, and she turned her head while speaking, "Has your majesty ever drank these?"

"No." Zhu Houzhao shook his head with a smile. He crossed his hands on his knees and sat on the ground. He didn't look like an emperor, but he enjoyed it. "I only drank milk."

"Milk? I drank milk too."

"Listening to what you said, I think life on the grassland is quite interesting."

"But it's definitely not as prosperous as the Central Plains."

"When Dayan Khan is defeated, I will make your father Khan the Mongol King, and I will take you back to your natal home."

"The concubine has a request!" She suddenly grabbed Zhu Houzhao's arm.

"Say."

"When I go back again, the concubine wants to take the child with me!"

……

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized something.

He got married last year, and he felt that the girls who came to the palace were too young. In fact, including Empress Xia, he might be in a hurry.

It's just that girls from the Han family don't express themselves so directly.

……

A few more days passed.

When Zhu Houzhao was having dinner with Empress Dowager Zhang, this matter was also mentioned in a roundabout way. Of course, it didn't mean that there was something wrong or not. Empress Dowager Zhang thought maybe the emperor didn't like these girls.

If so, then just change a few.

Zhu Houzhao repeatedly denied it.

When I went to Kunning Palace and looked at Empress Xia again, I always felt that there was a trace of grievance hidden in her eyes.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand it anymore. Although he said that he was a little nervous, but if he really wanted to cause marital conflicts and harem quarrels, it would be a waste of food because of choking.

So he planned to get things done.

After all, in Yongshou Palace, both Huai Xiao and Huai Yan had big stomachs, and the women in the palace would have thoughts every time they saw it.

The current relationship between husband and wife is also different from what he was familiar with in his previous life. Although these people are not as cautious as they were at the beginning, but considering that they have not really consummated their marriage, and they are serving the emperor, there is still some difference between words and deeds control.

Like Empress Xia, as long as she sits in front of him, she is very respectful of her status as an empress, and she doesn't even laugh easily.

Even if they were sleeping together, she would honestly lie down next to the emperor, not daring to do any unnecessary movements.

Zhu Houzhao would not think that she was boring, and no one would like to live like this. He would only think that she was also a little girl bound by various rules.Naturally, a big man wouldn't get angry with a girl.

So this time he hugged him in his arms, the queen didn't resist, but she didn't dare to move her hands.

"A few days ago, Concubine Shun told me that she wanted a child."

The woman in the arms said: "It's the concubine's fault, she didn't control the harem well."

"Hey, that's not what I meant. Concubine Shun is not a girl from the Han family. She is probably a little bolder, but I like it too. You don't have to apologise. What I want to say is...Does Ya'er want a child?"

The hot air between Empress Xia's breaths kept hitting her chest, and after a while, a charming voice came, "This concubine is His Majesty's queen, and of course she also wants to give birth to a prince for His Majesty, so as to carry on the royal family's lineage."

"Did you blame me?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Then you go and put things on the mat."

"thing?"

Zhu Houzhao said, "I saw you let it go a few times."

Empress Xia understood, she got out of bed with her clothes, searched in the closet, found it and put it on the bed, and then lay down on it.

Her back was tense, her hands wrapped around Zhu Houzhao's neck, and she felt as if she was facing a heavy blow. Her throat seemed to be making noise, but it was like a dry cough, which made Zhu Houzhao a little scared.

"Do you want to...forget it?"

There is still time to come out.

Hei couldn't see it at night, but could feel the person in his arms shaking his head.

"No."

……

……

When he woke up early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao found that the people beside him had woken up.

Empress Xia will pay special attention to this point, she will not allow herself to sleep soundly when the emperor wakes up.

"Your Majesty, are you resting well? How do you feel?" the Queen asked softly.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his eyes, "I thought of a line of poetry, the waves are thin and bright, and the jade is round and plain."

This is a compliment, Empress Xia finally smiled slightly, then shrank her body and drilled into his chest.This surprised Zhu Houzhao.

Doing or not doing some things really makes a difference.

"You have to get up, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to see all the officials today."

Empress Xia didn't scribble any ink, and immediately changed his clothes for him, without saying anything during the whole process.

"Yar."

"The concubine is here."

"We have to live together for a long time. Although the rules in the palace are great, but when it's just us, the rules can be less."

Empress Xia was a little distracted, "...Does Your Majesty dislike courtiers and concubines?"

"I just hope the queen can be at ease." Zhu Houzhao touched her head and hugged her.

This action is actually a bit excessive during the day, but he doesn't care about that much.

Empress Xia was only afraid of gossip, so she put on a dignified posture as a queen. In fact, her heart was not hard at all, she could feel some intentions.

"The concubine heard that...the land of Gyeonggi is distributing farmland to the common people recently. The Daxing Xia clan suddenly became a prominent surname because of His Majesty's great kindness. The concubine has sent a letter home. I hope my father and brothers in the clan can set an example, but the minister The concubine lives deep in the palace, and I don't know if there is someone in the Xia family who will not listen to dissuasion, if there is such a person, I hope His Majesty will judge it in a fair manner, and don't break the law of the country because of my concubine."

This is what Empress Xia said to him at the end of leaving Kunning Palace.

These words actually made Zhu Houzhao a little proud. His daughter-in-law married better than his father.

According to the rules, the queen's family is to be knighted.For example, Emperor Xiaozong granted the title of Shouning Bo to the father of Queen Zhang, and Emperor Xianzong named Wang Zhen, the father of the second queen Wang, as Marquis of Rui'an. After Wang Zhen died, Wang Yuan, the younger brother of Queen Wang, inherited the title of Marquis of Rui'an. , Going back further, that is, the grandma of Emperor Xiaozong, the Zhou family of the Empress Dowager Zhou was named Changning Bo.

That is to say, this is an old rule.

If it is cut off at his side, it will deal a huge blow to the queen's reputation.It's not enough for him to be so stingy as an emperor.Fortunately, it is not generally the big weddings here, where various rewards are awarded the next day, basically it takes a while.Zhu Houzhao kept this matter in mind, and then set off for Qianqing Palace.
