Zhu Youtang could not care about the matters of the harem, but Empress Dowager Zhou could not.
"Call Director Chen of the Respectful Affairs Department over."
After a while.
Chen Hong, the chief eunuch in charge of the emperor's bedroom affairs, bowed and walked over.
"Have you finished making the green card?”Empress Dowager Zhou asked in a deep voice.
When the emperor visited the empresses and concubines, the eunuchs in the Jingshi Room had to record the year, month, and day in detail as evidence of pregnancy.
Every single emperor who served the emperor before they became the empress had a green card that was kept in the room.
The green card was the symbol of status for this group of beautiful women or after they became concubines.
The emperor was busy every day and could not remember every woman, so there had to be something for the emperor to choose from.
What the eunuchs of the Jingshi Room had to do was to place a dozen or so nameplates on a large silver plate while serving the emperor dinner and bring them to the emperor.
The flipping of the wild boar skin was also a tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
"At dinner time, send the green card to the imperial grandson.”Empress Dowager Zhou ordered.
……
Zhu Youtang had nothing to feel wronged about.
Since he had chosen the identity of the emperor, he was prepared to abandon love when he enjoyed the peak of power above millions of people.
He was the emperor and had no right to talk about love. Being willful did not belong to him.
As long as the harem was obedient and generous, this was what Zhu Youtang thought of as a good woman.
As for feelings-
Since ancient times, the imperial family was the most ruthless.
Although Zhu Youtang had been on the throne for more than half a year, he had already experienced it deeply.
At dinner time, Chen Hong, the chief eunuch of the Minister's Office, carefully walked over with a large silver plate.
Zhu Youtang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at it casually, and flipped a green card.
Eunuch Xi left in a hurry.
Tian Zi's words were enough to turn the world upside down.
They had to find the pretty girl whose sign was flipped as soon as possible and order her to bathe and change her clothes.
As for being sent to the emperor's bedroom without clothes, this only began during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
In the middle of Jiajing, a group of beautiful women plotted to strangle the Jiajing Emperor to death. The Jiajing Emperor then established this system.
It hadn't started yet, so the beautiful girl only needed to bathe and wear better clothes before she could follow the eunuch to Zhu Youtang's bedroom.
" Ning Yan, showered and changed."
Chen Hong's voice sounded from outside the door.
Ning Yan was startled, and a palace maid rushed in to give Ning Yan a bath.
Her handsome face was more or less filled with worry about unfamiliar matters. Other than that, there were also a few wisps of redness.
These days, they learned the etiquette of the palace during the day and learned the skills of serving the emperor from the nannies at night.
As for how to please the Emperor, he was already familiar with the various secret techniques on the bed.
The young ladies who had yet to experience human affairs were embarrassed and afraid.
It didn't take long before Ning Yan walked out of the hall in brand new clothes.
In front of the door were eight eunuchs and six palace maids.
These people's faces were more or less filled with flattery.
They were assigned to take care of Ning Yan. If Ning Yan was spoiled this time, their status would also rise.
The internal strife between the eunuchs and palace maids was more serious than anything else.
Once the master fell out of favor, they would fall into hell. However, if the master was favored, they would instantly be above ten thousand people.
One thought of hell, one thought of heaven.
He was talking about the harem.
Ning Yan entered Yangxin Palace Hall nervously.
She stood on the spot helplessly, not moving at all.
He had completely forgotten all the etiquette he had learned in the past.
She had too many fantasies about the Emperor, and when she fantasized, she had too much respect.
"I will eat you?"
Zhu Youtang said without raising his head as he flipped through the book sent by the cabinet.
"Replying to the emperor, no…I won't."
Ning Yan seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked to Zhu Youtang's side to grind and pour tea for him.
As for the contents of Zhu Youtang's book, she did not even dare to look at it.
"Where are you from?"
Zhu Youtang frowned.
It wasn't because of Ning Yan, but because she was still a little dissatisfied with the land tax reform sent by the cabinet.
"Replying to the emperor, this servant is from the Baoding Prefecture.”
Zhu Youtang rubbed his eyebrows and Ning Yan quickly massaged his back obediently.
Her technique was very gentle. It was obvious that she had studied it carefully.
Zhu Youtang, who had been exhausted for a day, lay back comfortably.
"A few days ago, a group of heroes who hijacked official silver appeared in the Baoding Prefecture.”
Ning Yan's hands stopped and she quickly turned her body to the side and knelt down.""This servant, this servant knows her sins."
Zhu Youtang was somewhat puzzled.
He was just casually saying something.
"Get up, I am not blaming you."
Ning Yan quickly got up and continued to serve Zhu Youtang.
"What is it called?"
"This servant is Ning Yan."
"Yanyan hibiscus flower, showing off the clear frost morning. What a good name." Zhu Youtang said.
"Do you know where this poem came from?"
Ning Yan replied,"Your Majesty, this sentence comes from Fan Chengda.”
Although Ning Yan said it appropriately, she was still flustered.
Although the Emperor seemed approachable.
However, she did not dare to be negligent.
One had to know that this man in front of her could control everything about her, her prosperity and decline!
Until now, she did not dare to look at Tian Zi directly. She could only see from the side that Tian Zi was a handsome and unyielding youth.
Although he was a young man, how could she dare to treat him as a young emperor?
Zhu Youtang nodded.
The few words just now were also to test if this Xiunu had some talent.
If it was a beauty who couldn't even speak properly, Zhu Youtang didn't need it.
There were still eunuchs waiting patiently outside the door for Zhu Youtang to speak.
"Come in."
Chen Hong hurried in.
Zhu Youtang closed the opened sign." Go back."”
Chen Hong was delighted and left respectfully.
If the emperor was simply looking for a concubine to spend the night, then he only needed to say that he could leave.
If he wanted to sleep with a concubine, he had to close the green card again.
It was obvious that he was going to sleep with a concubine.
Ning Yan finally let go of her nervousness and heaved a sigh of relief. However, she became nervous again.
After all, it was her first time and she was afraid.
It wasn't a physical fear.
She was afraid that if she didn't serve the emperor well, she would annoy him. So at this moment, she was trying hard to recall all the techniques that the nanny had taught her.
Red candles, red curtains.
Ning Yan took off her clothes and gently pulled the curtain shut.
"Emperor, this servant will help you change…"
