There were usually so many emperors and concubines in all dynasties, often so many that the emperor himself could not remember them completely, which gave rise to this fair, open and just system. The names of all the concubines in the harem were written on a green wooden sign, and the eunuchs were entrusted to the emperor every night. When the emperor saw the name, he could naturally tell who was who. He would turn over the brand of the concubine who wanted to sleep at night. This was the so-called brand-flipping system.

After Emperor Tianqi was buried, the normal system of the past was restored to the inside and outside of the palace, and Zhu Yinglong was also at the end of his asceticism for Emperor Tianqi. The Ministry of Rites asked the new emperor to select a woman to fill the harem and spend the royal expenses. At the same time, Wang Chengen also asked to resume the flip of the sign.

Zhu Yinglong still had a little fantasy about the former. Who wouldn’t want to be an emperor? There are three palaces and six courtyards, and there are many beauties, but he is still a little rational after all. If there are too many women, it’s a good thing. Forget the talent show, he is sure to turn the brand. Anyway, he only has a few concubines, and the brand can’t be put into a tray. At least this is a fair system. Try it, if it is not suitable, just scrap it.

As soon as the sky was dark, just after the You hour, Wang Chengen held a plate of extremely exquisite green jade plaques and smiled and said, "Master, it's time to turn the plaques."

"Wang Cheng'en, are you moving very quickly?" Zhu Yinglong put down the memorial in his hand and looked at him strangely, "I just approved your memorial yesterday. Why can you send this sign today?"

Wang Chengen laughed dryly and said, "Old miss, I have already ordered people to prepare."

"Is that true?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but smile and asked, "What if I don't allow your request?"

"This, this old slave didn't expect. It is said that this is the ancestral system in the palace. Your Majesty, you should not be inaccurate." Wang Chengen replied with an embarrassing smile.

"I won't turn over the sign tonight, you can take it down." Zhu Yinglong picked up the memorial again and said.

"Emperor?" Wang Chengen hesitated and confused.

"Take it down!" Zhu Yinglong's voice suddenly became louder, and he immediately scared Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen held the tray and waited for a long time. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of changing his mind, he was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a low voice saying, "Let go, you go down first."

"Your Majesty, then tonight?" Wang Chengen hesitated.

"Xuqin Palace." Zhu Yinglong said three words.

"Emperor..." Wang Chengen suddenly knelt down and said.

"You should know what the first decree I gave after ascending the throne?" Zhu Yinglong said coldly.

"The first decree issued by the emperor after he ascended the throne was that internal officials were not allowed to interfere in politics." Wang Chengen bowed his head.

"Then you can't go down!" Zhu Yinglong rebuked lightly.

"Emperor..." Wang Chengen wanted to say something else.

"Go out!" Zhu Yinglong put down the memorial and shouted angrily.

"Yes, the emperor." Wang Chengen had no choice but to withdraw from the Palace of Harmony first.

"Bang..." Zhu Yinglong overturned the tray containing jade plaques placed on the imperial desk to the ground, and the emerald green plaques fell all over the ground.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why are you so arrogant?" Yanhong walked in from the side door with a bowl of hot tea and saw this scene in surprise.

Zhu Yinglong looked coldly at the emerald jade plaque on the ground without saying a word.

Yanhong put down the teacup, squatted down to pick up the emerald jade plaques on the ground one by one, silently put them back into the tray, and placed them on the imperial desk again.

Yanhong has been in the palace since she was a child, so she naturally knows what the green jade token is for. How could she, a little palace maid, comment on the palace affairs?

"Yanhong, do you know why Wang Chengen got these jade plaques so quickly?" Zhu Yinglong asked, pointing to the emerald green jade plaques in the tray.

"I don't know."

"I have not established the queen, and the ministers are worried. They all want to know who I will make the queen, so they can't wait to know. Ask me in person, I will definitely not say it, so this flip of the brand is the best test. If I turn it to anyone, or see who I go to the palace of which empress, then these ministers will know it. Only now do I know that it is not just me who is using these ministers, but these ministers are actually using me. Do you understand what I say?" Zhu Yinglong sighed.

"What the emperor said is too profound, I can't understand." Yanhong leaned over and said.

"I don't understand. If you understand one day, you are not my caring Hong'er anymore!" Zhu Yinglong said indifferently.

"Then Master, are you going tonight?"

"Go to Xuqin Palace, I am the emperor, I am the emperor, how can I be so easily manipulated!" Zhu Yinglong looked at the jade plaque in the tray coldly and said.

There is nothing wrong with the system. It is just, open, and fair, but it is used by those who are willing. No matter how good the system is, it will become a bad system.

The reason why the monarch always "called lonely and widowed" is only one reason: when he sits in that position, he becomes a real lonely person.

"The emperor set up a palace for Xuqin!"

After more than ten days of recuperation and under Tian Shuying's guidance, Zhou Yingning slowly recovered. She was now wearing a snow-white fox fur and reading a book peacefully under the lamp?

Since the emperor ascended the throne, due to the great funeral of the late emperor and busy with state affairs, he had never stayed in the harem for a night. Now the late emperor has been buried in Fuling, and the system of flipping the sign has been restored. Since the empress was not appointed, the palace of the empress of the emperor stayed in the harem for the first night became a sign. The memorials of the ministers who requested the queen to be appointed were piled up into small hills.

"Empress, why aren't you worried? It's spread all over the palace and outside the palace. I heard that the emperor would make the queen stay at that place tonight?" said Xiao Lin'er, the little palace maid who served Zhou Yingning.

"You little girl, what do you know?" Zhou Yingning cursed with a smile, "Who the emperor has made the emperor's claim? You believe all the rumors!"

"Ning'er's words are well said, very much for my wish!" Zhu Yinglong had already come a step forward. Hearing the words of the palace maid Xiao Lin'er, he stopped outside the door for a while, and asked the eunuchs and palace maids behind him to speak. Hearing Zhou Yingning's answer, he opened the curtain and walked in and smiled happily.

"I'm going to call the emperor!" Zhou Yingning and the palace maid Xiao Lin'er knelt down in a hurry.

"Let's just flat." Zhu Yinglong walked over and sat down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two women stood up and said.
