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

Chapter 9 I'm probably the only one who can live in the harem for so many years

After leaving Kunning Palace, Yang Chen, led by Bing'er, came to a stone-paved road one after the other.

There are lanterns filled with candles on the surrounding walls for lighting.

Although the light is dim, it is enough to illuminate a distance of more than ten meters.

Soon the stone brick road came to an end and led to a series of arches.

Floor tiles appeared one after another in an orderly arrangement on the ground.

Gradually, the sound of insects began to rise all around, and it seemed to be crickets. There were no traces of walls or palaces around this place, and the area within a radius of dozens of meters was very empty.

With the help of the faint light from the lantern in Bing'er's hand, Yang Chen could clearly see that there were many fruits and vegetables planted on the ground.

"I'm afraid only Zhu Yuanzhang would allow us to build a vegetable garden in the back garden."

Yang Chen thought to himself that Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed very respectful and loving to Empress Ma, just as in history.

No wonder some people say why no one chose the theme of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty when shooting harem films in ancient times.

Just based on Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Empress Ma, if someone slandered Empress Ma on the first day, I'm afraid that the other party's nine clans would start playing Candy Crush Saga the next day.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to do it himself, the Huaixi nobles would start to take action in secret.

You know, it’s no exaggeration to say that Empress Ma accounted for half of the credit for the establishment of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The founding couple, interfering in government affairs in the inner court, is a unique case in the past 5,000 years!
“Mr. Yang, these surrounding houses have not been dealt with for some time, could you please wait for a moment?
I will arrange for a few palace maids to come and clean it up, and then prepare some clean bedding."

Bing'er placed the lantern in her hand on a stone table not far from the house, then looked up at Yang Chen and spoke softly.

The weather is good tonight, with no clouds in the sky, and it is filled with scattered stars and bright moonlight. Without a lantern, with the help of the moon's light, I can not only see the ground clearly, but also the person who is talking to me.

Yang Chen was also looking seriously at the personal maid of Queen Ma in front of him.

The other party doesn't look very old. To be able to become the queen's personal maid, generally speaking, her status is not low.

After all, there is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister.

Bing'er was also looking at Yang Chen at the same time. The other party had suddenly appeared just now, and his words and actions were very strange, but as a maid, her job was to obey the queen.

As for other things, don’t ask too many questions that you don’t need to ask.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait here."

Yang Chen responded and then sat on the stone bench.

"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Yang. I will leave the lantern to you for lighting purposes."

After saying that, Bing'er turned around and left.

In fact, even without the help of a lantern, you can still see the road clearly with the help of the moon in the sky.

This is an environment without light pollution.

After the other party walked away, Yang Chen leaned his back against the stone table and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.

"As a complete stranger living in the harem, I am probably the only one in history. I don't know if Zhu Yuanzhang will go crazy when he finds out the truth.

But it shouldn't be a big deal. With Empress Ma keeping him under control, I don't think Zhu Yuanzhang will do anything rash."

At the same time, Yang Chen also looked a little distressed.

His golden finger has not appeared yet, and he is about to give up.

In ancient times, it would be difficult to survive without a golden finger.

Just the basic living needs of a modern man like him are enough to drive him crazy.

But there is no way, just make the best of it.

Just adapt to whatever happens next.

Having made up his mind, Yang Chen began to look around and take in everything around him.

This back garden is about the size of a standard 400-meter football field.

Three-quarters of the area is used to plant flowers and plants, and there is also a small artificial lake with lotus flowers and a pavilion on the lake.

The rest of the space is used for growing fruits and vegetables. There are three or four wooden houses where he is.

The blue bricks and tiles placed outside the imperial palace would create a courtyard that ordinary people dream of.

It was placed inside the palace and was where the servants lived.

After more than ten minutes, Bing'er arrived here with about eight maids wearing the palace's blue and white uniforms.

Everyone had something in their hands, clean bedding and mats, some were carrying buckets and chicken feather blankets, and even brooms.

"Go in and clean the largest room, quickly."

As the queen's personal maid, she naturally has the power to manage the maids in the harem.

Although she is young, she is very imposing when commanding others.

"Yes."

Soon, the other maids began to enter the room to clean.

In less than fifteen minutes, the candles that had just been replaced were lit.

After all the people came out and lined up again, Bing'er went in to check to make sure everything was fine before coming out.

"Mr. Yang, the house has been processed, please go to bed early."

"Thank you."

Yang Chen raised his hand to show his gratitude. Bing'er just showed an expression as if she should do something, and then left with the remaining maids.

The moment the other party left, Yang Chen also entered the house.

This place should cover an area of ​​nearly 60 square meters, which is not small. Entering the room is the hall with a table.

On the left, beyond the screen curtain, is a wooden bed.

Yang Chen didn't think about anything, he just walked over and lay down to rest and sleep.

He thought there would be all kinds of mosquitoes and insects, but unexpectedly, apart from the chirping of insects outside the door, there were no insects in the room to disturb his rest.

"Empress, Young Master Yang has been arranged to rest in the house in the vegetable garden. It is getting late, so you should rest early."

Bing'er returned to Kunning Palace and reminded Queen Ma outside the study door.

Queen Ma was very caring towards the maids and never bullied or insulted them.

It can be said that no one would object to being able to serve such a queen and telling others that it brings honor to the family.

Upon hearing this, Queen Ma waved to Bing'er and said.

"Okay, you go out first, I will rest by myself later."

After hearing this, Bing'er still wanted to persuade him, but after pursing her lips, she could only bow and say yes.

Then turned and left.

She could see that Empress Ma was indeed worried, and she couldn't persuade her.

In the study, Queen Ma recalled the conversation just now and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I came from the future. I never thought that the Ming Dynasty would only last for 270 years. Chongba, if you knew this news, you would probably be furious.

The support of princes is the root cause of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. This ancestral precept must be changed, otherwise it will be a problem for future generations.

It also creates an unbearable burden for the people of the world.

Chongba, I hope you can make the changes according to Biaoer's instructions. If you are really at odds with Biaoer as Yang Chen said, then I will have to do it."

Empress Ma knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well, and he could make rational decisions on many things.

But once you lose your rationality, you will become very crazy, and your temper will be more stubborn than that of a donkey.
