In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 295 The Royal Houses
Na Muzhong only rested for three days, became familiar with the harem, and learned a little bit about the relevant etiquette. On the fourth day, Lin Rui held a grand ceremony in the Imperial Palace.

Several other imperial concubines also put on grand costumes and participated in the canonization ceremony, which was equivalent to the wedding ceremony that Lin Rui compensated for the daughters.

The Ming Dynasty-made Fengguan Xiapei is full of dignity. Even if it is worn on Namuzhong, a Mongolian woman, it is eye-catching and quite stunning.

If you exclude Namuzhong's identity as a Mongolian woman, her temperament and appearance are barely enough to be a queen.

Among the girls, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Princess Kunxing. Although the little princess is still young, only 13 years old, her figure is taller than that of ordinary women. Although her face is full of childishness, she can be seen in her whole body. Against the background of the red wedding dress, one can still tell that in time, she will become another beauty who will captivate the country.

For some men with special fetishes, the pure, tender, petite and lovely Princess Kunxing is definitely a fatal temptation.

However, Lin Rui was not very interested in the little lolita, and was more surprised by the Ming-made Fengguan Xiapei.

Compared with the Fengguan Xiapei of the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has made great improvements. It not only looks dignified and majestic, but also more closely reflects the beauty of oriental women.

It can be said that Hanfu, for both men and women, has developed to its extreme in the Ming Dynasty. Women's regular clothes look fairy-like, and their phoenix crowns and harems show their dignity. Men's clothes are also elegant, chic and elegant.

It is a pity that such beautiful clothing that conforms to oriental aesthetics was destroyed in the hands of the Jiannu. The yellow robe and mandarin jacket, the money rat tail, and the cheongsam with small feet became synonymous with ignorance and ugliness in the eyes of later foreigners.

Namu Zhong is the queen, wearing the highest grade and most luxurious phoenix crown and harem, followed by Princess Kunxing as a noble concubine, and then the six imperial concubines.

Looking at Na Mu Zhong's grand dress and phoenix crown cloak, Lin Rui subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yan not far away, and began to imagine how amazing she would be when she put on this set of equipment.

Zhang Yan was not wearing mourning clothes this time, but was just wearing an ordinary palace skirt, but she still gave off a fairy-like feeling, which made many civil and military officials couldn't help but take a sneak peek.

Obviously, Lin Rui is not the only one who has thoughts about this queen. It's just that she didn't have the chance before and didn't dare to blaspheme, but now it's different from the past, and the opportunity is rare, so many people take the opportunity to indulge their eyes.

Especially the former Ming civil servants, including Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, secretly glanced at Zhang Yan.

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Lin Rui's forcible canonization of Na Mu Zhong, no one really dared to speak out and remonstrate face to face. Obviously, in the face of absolute imperial power, any unreasonableness was acceptable.

As for the canonization of Princess Kunxing as a noble concubine, no one was surprised. This was a normal operation.

Even if Lin Rui included Zhang Yan in the harem and made her a concubine, everyone would not be surprised at all. At most, they would curse in their hearts.

After the ceremony, when they returned to the palace, all the girls were still a little unsatisfied, especially the three girls Na Mu Zhong, Hai Lanzhu, and Ha Beier, who loved their gorgeous clothes so much that they were reluctant to change them.

Only the little princess sat alone, her delicate little face full of nervousness, anxiety and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, can you wear this dress every day? It's so beautiful."

"Yeah, I feel like I don't recognize myself anymore. Oh my god! Is this still me?"

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a large half-length glass mirror donated by the Portuguese. The three women stood around the mirror and exclaimed from time to time, which made Lin Rui and Zhang Xiuying beside them laugh. Niu Ao, Xiao Cui and Lu Waner also wanted to look in the mirror, but they I couldn't squeeze in, so I was stamping my feet anxiously outside.

"Princess, don't you go and look in the mirror?" After the girls finished looking in the mirror, Lin Rui came to Princess Kunxing and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't need it. I used to take care of it all the time."

The little princess was in a trance and didn't know what she was thinking. She was startled by the sudden sound. She quickly stood up and bowed, and then whispered.

"What, do you miss your mother and father?"

"No, Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I'm just..."

Princess Kunxing suddenly shook her head in denial like a frightened rabbit, with a nervous look on her face.

"It's okay. It's normal to miss people when you see things. Relax and don't be so restrained. From now on, you can play wherever you want in the harem. I won't mind." Seeing her like this, Lin Rui also got a little excited. With love and compassion, he couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her shoulders and said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Kunxing looked up at Lin Rui, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head.

"From now on, you can call me husband in private."

"Ok!"

Princess Kunxing snorted lightly, but her cheeks were also dyed with a hint of red.

"Let's go and look in the mirror. Today is a special day."

As Lin Rui spoke, he took her hand and came to the glass mirror.

All the girls also gathered around, looking at themselves and the little princess in the mirror. Even Hai Lanzhu was no longer confident.

After everyone looked in the mirror, they asked the painter to draw another portrait for each person, and then went to take a bath and change clothes.

Except for Princess Kunxing, everyone else was an old couple with Lin Rui. Naturally, she would sleep with her on their wedding night, but Lin Rui just slept with her in his arms all night.

After the empress sealing ceremony was over, the queen and the concubine were found, and the enthusiasm of the gentry and wealthy families in various places was not as fervent as before, and they all stopped.

That’s a reality!

Fortunately, more than 100 young ladies have been deceived, came to the capital, and were placed in the imperial city.

The oldest of these ladies is only fifteen years old, and the youngest is twelve or thirteen years old, but without exception, they are all well-educated ladies, not to mention their appearance and figure.

"Your Majesty, is there anyone you like?"

Seeing that Lin Rui simply glanced at the ladies and left, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

"She's too young, let's forget it!" Lin Rui waved his hand. He just held the little princess and slept all night, let alone these young ladies who were almost the same age.

"Then send them all to the Education Supervisor?" Mrs. Lu was still hoping that Lin Rui would not choose, so she quickly asked for instructions.

"Let's set up a royal college for female teachers under the supervision of education. Let them learn simple numerical calculations and simplified Chinese characters first. If they have some attainments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, they can also learn in depth.

By the way, the education superintendent also needs to compile elementary textbooks for elementary students as soon as possible. For the time being, we will compile three courses, namely Literary Arts, Mathematics, and Nature.

Wenli mainly teaches text learning and moral etiquette, and mathematics teaches arithmetic algorithms and abacus. Of course... I will teach some geography and common sense knowledge for the time being. I will personally read it after it is compiled. "

After thinking about it, Lin Rui said that opening up people's intelligence is of great importance, and the road ahead is long and slow. Now that he has money and food, he does not want to delay for a moment anymore. From now on, he must start vigorously training teachers.

After all, everything is easy to handle when it comes to funding school textbooks, except for teachers who cannot be in a hurry and can only follow the steps.

These more than 100 young ladies will serve as the first batch of kindergarten teachers to prepare for elementary school education. Next, Lin Rui plans to use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he will use the draft method to bring all the unmarried women from wealthy families to the capital, and on the other hand, he will recruit seven from the common people. An eight-year-old girl is raised from scratch.

As for the Female Teachers College, it will be placed in the Wenhua Hall for the time being. As for the Wuying Hall opposite, Lin Rui plans to use it to establish the Royal Armed Forces Academy. After all, a regular military academy is also urgently needed.

In the future, all the offices of the cabinet departments will be moved out of the Imperial City, and all the imperial offices will be occupied by the inner court offices. Anyway, the mansions in the inner city have basically been confiscated and sealed.
