If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 10 Little Palace Maid Hu Shanxiang
"Okay, okay, you spend your own money anyway, how can I, a mother, care if you eat too much?" Crown Princess Zhang said angrily, noticed Zhu Zhanjun's eyes, and asked with a smile He said: "Looking at you like this, who do you like? These are all people who have been well trained in the palace. Grandpa You rewarded them for you. You can just say who you like, even if you have the support of the queen in the house."

The ancients got married early, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanjun were almost at the age to talk about marriage. Even if they did not marry a main wife, they could still have several side wives.

Originally, Crown Princess Zhang was considering Zhu Zhanji's marriage, but now that Zhu Zhanjun was awake, she, the mother-in-law, naturally considered her second son as well.

Zhu Zhanjun was not pretentious. He pointed at the palace maid he had just chosen and said, "That's it. It looks very pleasing to the eye. What's your name? I'll keep it because it sounds good."

"Back to the Second Highness, this child's name is Shanxiang. He was adopted by the slave and has been with her since he was a child." Hu Shangyi, who was standing next to the Crown Princess Zhang who spoke, declined after introducing the palace maid Zhu Zhanjun was interested in: "However, this child has an impetuous temper and is reckless. I haven't trained him well yet. I'm afraid he is not suitable to serve His Highness.

Moreover, Shanxiang was not on the candidate list. His Highness would rather choose some well-trained palace maids, who would be more comfortable to use. "

Seeing Zhu Zhanjun asking about herself, although the little palace maid named Shanxiang showed no expression on her face, her eyes were obviously full of surprise.

However, when Hu Shangyi declined Zhu Zhanjun, her eyes became obviously depressed again.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at it interestingly, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa rewarded me with ten maids. It doesn't matter even if there are one or two ungrateful ones. What's more, the people around Hu Shangyi must have learned the rules very well. No matter what, It won't be a big mistake.

Besides, the people who use it in my room also need to be trained again. If they really haven’t been taught well, it doesn’t matter. "

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanjun glanced at Hu Shangyi and joked: "Hu Shangyi can't be reluctant to leave the girl, right? In the worst case, just follow what my mother said, I will take her in, and she will at least be a concubine of the palace in the future, not counting It’s a shame.”

Of course, Zhu Zhanjun was not some lustful ghost who wanted to spoil other girls, and those who cultivated immortals were not fond of this either.

The reason why he wanted to accept this palace maid was because he could tell at a glance that this woman had the appearance of inner charm. If she practiced the dual cultivation method, it would be a good furnace, which could help him heal his wounds.

Moreover, this woman has a lot of luck and blessings, and is a good choice for her talent. Even if she is not trained to become a dual cultivator, she is still a good choice to be a disciple.

With these two items, Zhu Zhanjun would naturally not miss this excellent choice, not to mention that the palace maid was Hu Shanxiang, which made Zhu Zhanjun not want to miss it even more.

But he also had doubts, because according to Ming history, Queen Hu Shanxiang of Gongrang Zhang was the third daughter of Guanglu Qing Hu Rong and the sister of the female official Hu Shanwei. How did he become the little palace maid adopted by Hu Shangyi, with a mediocre seniority? A generation shorter?
However, Zhu Zhanjun didn't care. According to the history books, he was not the crown prince's direct descendant, nor did he sleep for eight years, so any deviation was not a big problem.

Hu Shangyi couldn't refuse after Zhu Zhanjun opened his mouth, so he could only bow his head and said: "Since His Highness insists, I have nothing to say. It's just that I raised this child Shanxiang with my own hands. What can I do?" Please forgive me for the bad things, Your Highness." Zhu Zhanjun nodded and assured Hu Shangyi: "Hu Shangyi can rest assured, I like to be quiet by nature, and as long as I am willing to do my job, I will not treat you harshly. "

"Then I would like to thank the Second Highness first." Hu Shangyi saluted Zhu Zhankun again, and at the same time he did not forget to tell Hu Shanxiang beside him: "In the future, when doing things around His Highness, you must abide by your duties. If you act petty and cause any trouble, Come, please know that I can't save you."

"I understand, I thank you, Your Highness, and my aunt!" Hu Shanxiang hurriedly saluted Zhu Zhanjuan, thanking Hu Shangyi in his mouth, but his heart was already so happy that he was about to fly.

It is difficult to have a good ending when you are a palace maid. Being able to reach Hu Shangyi's level is already rare among the palace maids. But even if Hu Shangyi gets old, he will have to be merciful by the emperor before he can be released from the palace. Otherwise, he will be in the palace. Die alone, or simply be beaten to death for offending someone.

At present, he can be transferred to serve the emperor's grandson, and he can also be taken over by the emperor's grandson. In the future, he will be guaranteed to be treated as a concubine of the palace. How can this not make Hu Shanxiang, who is just a little palace maid, happy?
Although she was thinking that it would be better if she could be with Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the emperor, but it would also be great to be with Zhu Zhanquan, the second grandson of the emperor.

"As for the other maids, let Shang Yi arrange it. I think the people trained by Shang Yi are all excellent." Zhu Zhanjuan just glanced at Hu Shanxiang and said nothing more, nor did he look at his maids. He just turned around and took out a handful of rice-sized rubies from his sleeves and put them in front of Hu Shangyi: "Shangyi will divide these rubies. Each of the palace maids who came today will be rewarded with one. If there are any leftover, they will be used as hoodies for Shangyi." This can be regarded as a way of thanking Shang Yi for his hard work in the palace over the years."

Seeing the handful of rubies that Zhu Zhanqun grabbed, even though Hu Shangyi was well-informed in the palace and had been pampered and humiliated for many years, he couldn't help but show an expression of surprise: "How can I deserve such a generous reward from His Highness? How dare you ask for rewards like this when you are just doing what you are expected to do? Please take it back, Your Highness!"

With that said, Hu Shangyi knelt down and refused to be rewarded.

The Crown Princess Zhang on the side was also surprised and said: "Son, where did you get so many evaders? Your mother and I are the crown princess, but we haven't even used the evaders to make heads and faces! You, the second emperor's grandson, can't compare Your father, the prince, is so extravagant that he rewards the palace maids with the best of them."

The so-called avoider is the other name of ruby ​​in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are many other names such as sheep blood, mojie bud, yingshui, pomegranate and so on.

Hearing what Crown Princess Zhang said, Zhu Zhanquan quickly reached out and took out two small cloth bags from his sleeves and handed them to his mother: "Why is this a reward from my son? No, mother, you told me yesterday that you were afraid of my hands. You don’t have enough money to spend and gave me a few bags? But I have other income, so you can keep these rubies for yourself. If you don’t have anything to do, make a few sets of hair, face, and belts, which will complement the nobility of our Eastern Palace, right?”

"I, the mother-in-law, have forgotten." Crown Princess Zhang took the bag handed over by Zhu Zhanqun. When she took it in her hand, she found that one of the bags was the size of a fingernail, while the other was the size of a grain of rice. To her surprise, she also put the two bags of rubies in her sleeves: "Since you said so, Zhanjun, let me put these things here first. If you want to spend them later, you can ask me again." want."

But after saying that, Crown Princess Zhang looked at Hu Shangyi who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Since my son rewards you, then you can continue. You have been in charge of the affairs of the palace for so many years, and you have done a lot of hard work."
