"It's just some immature suggestions." Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth modestly, his dark and deep eyes under the sun seemed to have sparks bursting out from time to time, and there was a confident smile on his honest face.
"Really...really?"
Feng Bao's excited voice became even louder when he heard this, his desperate eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhu Pingan with excitement.
However, in the next second, the light in Feng Bao's eyes dimmed a lot, and his mood suddenly became depressed. His family knew about his family affairs, and now he was in a sea of fire, and he was terminally ill, and the medicine was no longer effective.
"Hey, forget it, Mr. Xiao Zhu, don't give hope to the Zajia family in vain, and let the Zajia family despair again. The Zajia family really can't withstand the blow anymore. Now it is terminally ill, and even the panacea is ineffective. There is nothing else.
Say, just say that the Holy Spirit's cultivation is at a critical moment, and he has repeatedly mentioned that sleeping in bed will delay cultivation. No matter how many heads the Za family has, they can't save it."
Emperor Jiajing was famous for his temper. If Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood one day, or his cultivation was not going well, his head would probably be in danger.
Feng Bao's eyes were full of despair again, he lowered his head and sighed deeply. His whole person was like a death row prisoner waiting for execution, shrouded in despair and pessimism.
"What if it's an elixir?"
Zhu Pingan raised the corners of his lips and asked jokingly. If Feng Bao is like a fallen leaf tossed in the torrent of waves, then Zhu Pingan is like a tall mountain by the sea, remaining calm and unmoving despite the rolling waves.
"Elixir?" Feng Bao repeated, his dark and desperate eyes suddenly ignited with sparks, and he raised his head and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a burning gaze.
"Ping An has some immature suggestions in his heart, but only those who know their enemies and themselves can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. If my father-in-law can trust Ping An, I would not hesitate to briefly explain the sleeping process to Ping An."
Zhu Pingan said it modestly, but there was an inexplicable and convincing air about him.
"Actually, this is not a secret, there is nothing that cannot be said. Long Live the Lord randomly selects the concubine to sleep with. Once the concubine is confirmed, the Za family will notify the selected empress to take a bath and change clothes, and prepare for the blessing. The servants in the empress' palace
People start to 'pave the palace', clean the palace, burn incense and decorate it. At night, two red gauze lanterns will be hung in front of the palace gates of each concubine in Xiyuan, and the red gauze lanterns at the entrance of the palace of the empress who is selected to sleep will be taken down.
, on behalf of the Long Live Lord, he will stay here at night. The Empress will bathe in the orchid soup, dress up, and wait for the Long Live Lord in the palace. After the Long Live Lord has finished his government affairs, he will come over in his royal chariot and stay overnight to pay his respects to the Queen..." Feng Bao did not hesitate.
, and briefly explained the process of sleeping in the palace.
Well, very good, it is almost the same as the Ming Dynasty harem attendant system that I knew in modern times.
Then there won't be any problem.
After hearing this, Zhu Pingan nodded slightly, his face even more confident.
Perhaps some of you modern people have guessed the origin of Zhu Ping'an's confidence, but Feng Bao has absolutely no idea.
I have racked my brains and thought about it for more than half a month, but I still have no clue. There are so many senior eunuchs in the palace who are also at a loss. How come Master Xiao Zhu can find a solution after just listening to me? How is this possible?
But Mr. Xiao Zhu doesn’t look like he’s joking?!
Feng Bao was puzzled by this.
"The Holy One is wise and decisive, and a wise king. He works hard day and night for the country and the people, and takes care of everything. For the stability of the country and the continuation of the royal bloodline, the Holy One has to perform the ritual of loyalty every day. The Holy One has worked so hard, and naturally we and other ministers have to do the same for the country and the people.
Your Majesty, please share your worries." Zhu Ping'an saluted in the direction of Xiyuan and said softly.
"What does Mr. Xiao Zhu mean?" Feng Bao didn't understand what Zhu Pingan meant.
"If it can allow the Holy Spirit to practice for an extra hour?" Zhu Ping'an did not continue to explain, but looked at Feng Bao and asked a question.
In Zhu Ping'an's view, Emperor Jiajing was like a candidate cramming before the exam. He didn't get the standard answers until the exam time. It wasn't that he disliked the answers, but that he was given too little time to memorize the answers before the exam. In fact,
If you give him an extra hour or two to memorize the answers at this time, he will definitely be willing to take the exam.
"My Lord Xiao Zhu, let alone an hour, just half an hour more every day, the Za family has made a great contribution." Feng Bao said with some excitement.
"Half an hour is naturally not a problem." Zhu Pingan nodded confidently.
"Master Xiao Zhu, please don't lie to me?" Feng Bao was very excited, but he still didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty is the wise king in charge, and it is your duty to continue the royal bloodline. If I guess correctly, Your Majesty does not think that the process of continuing the bloodline is time-consuming and delays your cultivation of immortality, but that the current sleeping process is a bit time-consuming and delays Your Majesty's work.
Practice." Zhu Pingan explained softly, then turned to Feng Bao and continued, "Actually, if we make some adjustments to the sleeping process, I dare not say that I can save an hour, but half an hour is more than enough."
Emperor Jiajing was notoriously lecherous. No matter day or night, he would visit his concubines and palace maids whenever he wanted.
How could such a walking Teddy Emperor, who was 100% lecherous, find it time-consuming to serve him to bed? It was just that the current bed-keeping process was taking time for Emperor Jiajing.
"Adjust the bedtime routine?"
Feng Bao repeated thoughtfully, then shook his head vigorously, waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, my Lord Xiao Zhu, this harem bedtime process is handed down from the ancestors. It's all from the ancestors."
How can we change the law?"
"Can't we change the laws of our ancestors?" Zhu Ping'an raised the corner of his mouth, and then chuckled softly with his hands behind his back, "Let's give a simple example. During the time of Taizu, the palace did not allow the ministers to read and read. When it came to Xuanzong,
, the palace set up a study hall to teach the ministers to read and read, and now it has become a custom for the ministers to read."
"Whether the ancestral laws can be changed depends on how to change them. If it is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty and the country, and to Your Majesty, why can't we change it?" Zhu Pingan asked rhetorically.
"Uh" Feng Bao was silent, and then shook his head, "Master Xiao Zhu, you also know that the process of sleeping in the harem may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple. After choosing the queen, you take a bath and change clothes, decorate the palace, and then
Your Majesty is here to see you. There is no room for change, let alone saving half an hour or an hour."
"Your Majesty is here to pay your respects?"
Zhu Ping'an shook his head when he heard this, and then bowed in the direction of Xiyuan solemnly, then stood up and looked at Feng Baodao, "Why do you want His Majesty to come to visit you? Why do you have to go there in person?
What about the congratulations coming to your Majesty’s palace? Why can’t the empress come to His Majesty’s palace to receive the blessing? Wouldn’t it save His Majesty the time to visit in person?” (To be continued.) 8
