Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 14 I am just an ordinary person who knows a little about history
The harem vegetable garden.

Yang Chen slept until dawn.

After getting up, he sat and observed his surroundings. It was dark last night, but the sun was bright today, so he could see everything inside the house clearly.

At the same time, he also discovered why he was able to sleep without being bothered by mosquitoes yesterday.

Under the wooden bed there are some medicine bags with a fresh scent, which seems to be made of mugwort mixed with other plants.

You can tell at a glance that the brocade above is from the royal family.

"Sure enough, the things used by the royal family in ancient times are very useful. Under the bondage of the Nine Clans, anyone who dares to have a rubbish project or does it poorly will end up dead."

Yang Chen got up and was about to go outside for a walk when he found that several maids were already waiting at the door.

Seeing him appear, he immediately bowed.

"Mr. Yang, these are lunch. Please eat them as soon as possible. They won't taste good if they get cold."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Just put it on the table inside."

As an ordinary person with modern education, he was really not used to such service for a while.

After the food was laid out, Yang Chen began to eat.

As for brushing his teeth or something, he was too lazy to bother.

The first person in the world who truly invented the toothbrush has not been born yet. Coincidentally, the person who invented the toothbrush was a descendant of the Zhu family. This guy was also an emperor. He was Zhu Youtang, the Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.

One of the few pure love emperors in history.

Nowadays, most people simply rinse their mouths with willow branches crushed into thin threads combined with salt, tea and other items.

He just took a sip of tea and gulped it down a few times.

Seeing the food in front of him looked very appetizing, Yang Chen couldn't help but taste it.

As a result, the food tasted very strange.

"If anyone claims to be able to live an easy life in ancient times, that guy must be a liar."

Yang Chen chewed it carefully and soon came to a conclusion.

The ingredients used in these foods are very different from those used in later generations, and it is most likely a problem with salt.

However, he hadn't eaten for almost the entire day, so he had no choice but to eat it as a fat-reducing meal.

Anyway, no matter how bad it tastes, it’s better than boiled chicken breast.

Soon, he had eaten almost three quarters of the basket of vegetables and could not eat the rest.

Seeing him stop, the maid standing beside him quickly packed up and left.

After eating and drinking, Yang Chen came outside and sat on a chair to observe what vegetables were growing in the vegetable garden.

They were basically some green vegetables such as spinach, chrysanthemum, mustard greens, etc. He couldn't recognize the rest.

He didn't know how long he sat outside, but as he was resting with his eyes closed, he heard some noise coming from the vegetable garden.

When he opened his eyes, he found three people walking towards him not far away.

It was Empress Ma, followed by two men, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.

Soon, accompanied by her two sons, Queen Ma naturally sat down on the stone bench.

Yang Chen also stood up politely. After all, the other party was his elder and the mother of a country. From the time they met until now, Queen Ma could be said to have given him enough face.

There is no dictatorship or intimidation from those below.

"Okay, you all sit down, there's no need to stand."

As always, Empress Ma's voice was still gentle, just like the aunt next door. In her opinion, whether it was Zhu Biao or Zhu Di, or even Yang Chen who had no blood relationship with her.

All three are children.

"Thank you, mother."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di bowed and then slowly sat down.

There were four stone stools around the stone table, and Yang Chen naturally sat on the last one, opposite Queen Ma. "Yang Chen, how are you? I just asked Bing'er to arrange a few maids to bring you lunch. I wonder if you can adapt to the life in our Daming."

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt unhappy.

To be honest, according to his previous life, he should be lying on the bed, enjoying the air conditioning, with a mobile phone plugged in by the pillow.

When I wake up I'll order takeout.

But when he thought of what had just happened, he could only smile bitterly.

"What's that expression on your face? The things my mother arranged for you are all for the royal family to enjoy. Why? You seem to be disgusted."

Zhu Di was as impulsive as ever. When he saw Yang Chen's expression, he guessed that the other party must be dissatisfied.

This made him feel very unhappy.

As a prince, he doesn't have such treatment, so why do you feel dissatisfied even though you have it?

Yang Chen glanced at the other person and thought to himself, just wait for this guy.

It’s Prince of Yan Zhu Di, right? It’s Emperor Yongle, right?

When the time comes, he will expose this news to see if he still dares to speak to him so loudly.

A thought flashed through his mind, but Yang Chen ignored him and looked at Queen Ma.

“Empress, to be honest, I have lived in the afterlife for six hundred years, and I have experienced things that you cannot even imagine.

For example, the clairvoyance and super hearing that you have only heard of in storybooks can be possessed by any child in later generations.

In addition, we, the people of later generations, have also overcome the problem of "flying" and mastered the ability to soar thousands of miles into the sky.

We can even do this by leaving the world we live in.

In short, the life of ordinary people in the future is beyond your imagination. If I had to choose, I would rather continue to be an ordinary person in the future than live in the Ming Dynasty.

But I can’t seem to go back.”

After saying the last sentence, Yang Chen subconsciously held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

For him, these ordinary days, after his explanation, have already shocked the three people.

With the ability of clairvoyance and super hearing, people can fly in the sky and even leave this world of life.

Isn’t this the immortal in the legend?

"Does everyone in your later generations have divine abilities?"

Zhu Biao closed his jaw which was open in astonishment and couldn't help but ask.

Yang Chen just shook his head.

"This is not a magical trick, this is called technology. Technology changes life, just like the ancients thousands of years ago could not imagine that we in the Ming Dynasty could use glazed bricks and tiles to build palaces.

In their eyes, the crystal clear glazed bricks and tiles were gifts from God and extremely precious, but in the Ming Dynasty, they were just items made by craftsmen. "

"Technology has changed life."

Zhu Biao whispered and repeated what Yang Chen said. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the truth contained in this sentence seemed to make the Ming Dynasty better.

"But now that you have come to Ming Dynasty, don't you want to do something?"

Queen Ma did not ask about Yang Chen's life in the afterlife, but instead asked about his plans for the future.

Faced with this question, Yang Chen looked up at the blue sky.

Responded helplessly:
"Empress, in the future, I am just an ordinary normal school graduate. There are people who are better than me everywhere on the street.

Although I often fantasize about some kind of adventure happening to me, when such a thing really happens, I find myself a little at a loss.

I have no choice but to stay in Ming Dynasty. I don’t know what I can do.”

"However, I am not an expert in Ming history, but at least I have some basic knowledge of it, so you can ask me any questions you have."
