The emperors of the Zhu family had a hereditary advantage in relationships, that is, they were devoted.
Taizu only dotes on Queen Ma, Chengzu only dotes on Queen Xu, Baozong only dotes on Queen Qian, Emperor Chenghua only dotes on Concubine Wan Gui...
At this moment, Zhu Youtang is possessed by the souls of Taizu, Chengzu, Baozong and Emperor Chenghua! He inherited the Zhu family's long history and tradition that lasted for ten thousand years!
Xiao Jing, the steward of the East Palace, saw Zhu Youtang looking at Zhang Fengling crazily and knew that the prince was attracted to her.
So Xiao Jing took out a festive silver crown and handed it to Zhang Fengling.
"Bang!" Zhu Youtang actually stretched out his hand and knocked the silver lock in Xiao Jing's hand to the ground.
Later, Zhu Youtang took out the mandarin duck embroidered handkerchief given to him by the Queen Mother Zhou from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into Zhang Fengling's hand.
When the Queen Mother Zhou presented the handkerchief to her that day, Chang Feng was beside Zhu Youtang. He knew the weight of this square mandarin duck handkerchief.
Chang Feng was secretly shocked: The woman whose name I helped change could turn out to be... the future crown princess of the Ming Dynasty?
The Crown Princess will be the Queen from now on!
This is really a blind weasel dragging a chicken to death - a coincidence.
wonderful! It’s really wonderful! If this woman can take charge of the Sixth House in the future, I, Chang Feng, will also have a share of the credit.
At the end of the viewing, a total of 32 women were shortlisted. Soon, they will become the crown prince's concubines, talents, chosen attendants, and ladies.
They will conduct the "Select Three" four days later, that is, select three people to participate in the final level of "Imperial Appointment". The emperor himself selected the real daughter-in-law.
Liu Bingyi did not dare to neglect. After the feudal lord's office cleared all the unsuccessful women, only these thirty-two people were allowed to live.
A female officer from the Six Bureaus and One Division of the palace unexpectedly taught these thirty-two people the etiquette of the palace.
Let's say that Chang Feng became Liu Bingyi's recognized son-in-law.
That evening, he arrived at the door of Liu Mansion carrying Daokou roast chicken, Liu Xiaoyan's favorite food when she was a child.
This time, he could finally go straight into Liu's house without taking advantage of Liu Jin.
Butler Liu changed his attitude towards him in the past two years and shouted at him: "Ouch! My uncle is here! Please come in!"
Chang Feng was startled by this shout.
Chang Feng raised his head and chest and stepped into the gate of Liu Mansion.
Chang Feng said: "I will give Xiaoyan a roast chicken and leave as soon as I see her."
Butler Liu said, "Since you're here, why don't you have dinner with the eldest lady before leaving?"
Chang Feng deliberately brought it up to the court: "It's not good. After all, we haven't decided yet. Men and women will not be intimate."
Butler Liu said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? You and the eldest lady grew up together as childhood sweethearts."
"You two were so good that you had to wear pants when you were little! You peed, and the lady caught it with your hands...and the mud! Why bother with red tape?"
Chang Feng met Liu Xiaoyan in the backyard.
As the sun sets, Liu Xiaoyan is playing with her sword. The shadow of the sword is like a flowing cloud, flying in the air.
The gentle light of the setting sun shone on Liu Xiaoyan's face. Chang Feng felt like he saw the fairy from the Heavenly Palace descending to earth.
Seeing the person she likes coming, Liu Xiaoyan held a sword flower and put the sword back into its scabbard.
Chang Feng praised: "Your skills are no less than those of the martial arts teachers in the 12th Regiment Camp."
Liu Xiaoyan said: "If you dare to have second thoughts when I marry you, all my abilities will definitely be passed on to you."
The sunset is picturesque. The couple, who had been together for several years, sat on a rockery in the backyard, watching the sunset and the solitary swans flying together, and talked about their love.
Deep in love, Liu Xiaoyan took the initiative to rest her cheek on Chang Feng's shoulder.
Butler Liu was still standing in the distance.
This time, he didn't come over and beat the mandarin ducks by shouting "men and women can't be intimate". Instead, he whispered to himself: "What a perfect couple!"
That's how quickly snobbery can turn.
At dusk, Butler Liu prepared a banquet in the dining room.
Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan took their seats.
Chang Feng opened the lotus leaf bag wrapped in Daokou roast chicken.
Liu Xiaoyan showed no restraint as a young lady and directly tore off a chicken drumstick and gnawed it wildly.
The development of a lady's temperament usually requires the accumulation of wealth over several generations.
Until Liu Xiaoyan was eleven years old, his father was an experienced graduate. By that time, Liu Xiaoyan's behavior had become a habit and could not be changed.
Chang Feng watched his beloved gnawing on the chicken legs and suddenly sighed: "The way you eat the chicken legs looks so much like Tangtang."
Liu Xiaoyan asked: "When will Tangtang return to Beijing?"
Chang Feng replied: "Soon."
At this moment, Butler Liu walked into the dining room, holding a box in his hand.
"Click", he opened the box, and inside were ten small silver ingots of ten liang system.
Butler Liu smiled and said, "I've told you. Now that my eldest son-in-law is with the prince, he will inevitably have to socialize with his colleagues, so he can't be petty."
"You have just become rich and have little savings. Take these one hundred taels of silver back and use them all as social expenses."
Liu Xiaoyan snorted coldly: "My father really praises someone when he sees something good and criticizes someone when he sees someone who is low."
Chang Feng said: "Xiao Yan, you can't fault your parents."
Lao Taishan's kindness is not in vain. Chang Feng happily accepted the one hundred taels of silver.
He asked Butler Liu casually: "By the way, won't Old Taishan go back to his house for dinner tonight?"
Butler Liu replied: "Ahem! The master is busy in the Yamen making arrangements for the third choice. He will not be back these two nights."
"Half of the maids in our palace have also been transferred to serve the thirty-two aunts in the feudal lord's office."
Butler Liu's words reminded Chang Feng.
Chang Feng said: "Steward Liu, can you stay away from the maids? I have a few words to say to Xiaoyan alone."
Butler Liu frowned: "This... is not good."
Liu Xiaoyan said: "What are you afraid of? This is the dining room. Are you still afraid that he will use the dining table as a wedding bed?"
Butler Liu quickly said: "Miss, that's not what I meant. I'm leaving now."
Everyone exited the dining room.
Chang Feng said: "You will also go to the back office of the feudal government office in the past two days to personally take care of a woman named Zhang Fengling."
"Take these one hundred taels of silver with you. Go to the jewelry shop to pick out some high-quality hairpins and earrings and give them to Zhang Fengling."
Chang Feng is a person with inside information. He knew that Zhang Fengling had a great chance of becoming the crown princess since she had obtained the mandarin duck kerchief.
If you don’t fawn over now, when will you wait?
If you want to get ahead in official circles, you have to learn to bet and flatter.
Officialdom is a cesspit. How many lotus flowers can there be that emerge from the mud but remain unstained?
Liu Xiaoyan was puzzled: "Why?"
Chang Feng said: "You marry me in a while, and you will become a member of the Chang family. If our Chang family wants to change from a humble family to a wealthy family... it will definitely be beneficial to have a good relationship with Miss Zhang."
Liu Xiaoyan nodded slightly: "Okay. I will listen to you. It's boring to stay in the house anyway."
The two had finished their dinner and were about to part ways.
Chang Feng stood up, and Liu Xiaoyan kissed Chang Feng with lightning speed.
Although Liu Xiaoyan's red lips were stained with a lot of oil, Chang Feng didn't care at all. She was stuck in place as if she was struck by lightning.
Fortunately, it was the dining room, and there were Butler Liu and the maid outside the dining room.
Otherwise... Chang Feng, who had been holding it in for twenty-one years, might really be unable to control himself and push Liu Xiaoyan away.
