Chapter 43 Alan's Secret
It only took more than ten days to travel to this time and space. Zhu Youlang has been busy fighting with the Qing soldiers and has no time to consider some things, such as the matter in the harem.
But now it seems that it is impossible not to consider it. However, if you think about it carefully, at least a few red lines must be drawn.
I am the emperor and the emperor. In a sense, women in the world can choose by themselves and no longer have to worry about becoming a "single dog".
The dirty Tang Dynasty, the smelly man, the sloppy man, and the snot, and the clear nose, what are the male favorites, the wife, and all kinds of harem scandals are endless in history. However, no matter how future generations comment, there is one fact that is, the emperor can do whatever he wants in filling the harem.
Of course, those who think and do this are all foolish lords.
Zhu Youlang didn't want to be such a foolish monarch, because if he really did that, he would face the collapse of rituals and music. Not to mention that he was still in the entrepreneurial stage, and he would recover thousands of miles of country in the future. He would not pay attention to this aspect. Perhaps what awaited him was not the three-foot white silk of the palace maids, but would also plant the evil causes of chaos in the world.
Therefore, he must make the harem purer. Monogamy should stop thinking about it, even if he wants it, this era will not allow it.
You can be a romantic emperor, but you must never be a arrogant, extravagant and lewd monarch - this is a red line he drew for himself.
Zhao Yuqiao's identity is not considered a court wife. If she takes her as a concubine, the world will not criticize him too much. But after all, she is Chen Zizhuang's concubine. With such a reputation, she cannot accept other people's kindness. If it is spread, it will be a bad reputation.
Dai Yilan spent the night with her in the palace. Although she did nothing, and although the Zhuang girl was different from the Han girl, she might not care, Zhu Youlang still didn't want to ruin her reputation. After the war, she would ask for her opinions. If she didn't object, she would take her as her concubine. - This was an idea that Zhu Youlang had already made.
Zhao Yuqiao is different from Dai Yilan. Although her identity is not considered a court wife, if she is a concubine, the world will not criticize him too much. But after all, she is Chen Zizhuang's concubine. With such a name, she cannot accept other people's kindness. If it is spread, her reputation will be bad. Who knows what will be said in later history books?
"No, there are so many things to pay attention to in extraordinary times? I am not a foolish lord, so how can I help you serve me? You and the maid will go back later. Just have Alan to serve me." Zhu Youlang made up his mind and flatly rejected Zhao Yuqiao's kindness.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhao Yuqiao's eyes, but as the emperor said, if he stayed, it would be a foolish person. She would not dare to say anything else.
"I obey the order!" Zhao Yuqiao gave a tribute and retreated with two little maids.
Looking at Zhao Yuqiao's back, Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "Chen Zizhuang was the first to follow the dragon and helped me a lot. It is said that he shouldn't have done this. Could it be that Zhang Jiayu and his son's contributions are greater than him, or that they are not as close to Chen Bangyan and the ministers of Zhaoqing? He felt pressure? It shouldn't be. I obviously put his position above everyone else. Does he feel the weight of relying on him? Is he still afraid of others?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you leave Aunt Zhao? Is it okay to have no woman in the palace?" Zhu Youlang had eaten, Dai Yilan served him and asked in confusion.
"What a silly girl." Zhu Youlang thought to himself. He looked at her side and saw that she looked even more beautiful under the candlelight. Her eyes were as clear as water, and she seemed to not understand the twists and turns in it at all.
"Alan, what do you think if I keep her?"
"What can you think? You are the emperor, and there are a few women serving you, right?"
"That depends on what kind of woman it is. The queen and the palace maid can do it, but she can't."
"Why?"
"Because the queen is my woman, the palace maid is the one who serves people, of course it is OK. She can't do it because she is Chen Zizhuang's concubine. If she spends the night in the palace, her reputation will be defiled. How can she be a human being in the future? Alan, do you understand?"
"I don't understand very much. Emperor, you are the emperor. Wouldn't it be enough to turn her into your woman?"
"Although I can do that, I will never do that, especially for her, not to do it."
"Why?"
"Because..., because she is your good friend, I will not be a foolish monarch who forcibly robbed the girl of the people, and of course I cannot force your good friend, let alone she is Chen Zizhuang's concubine."
What Zhu Youlang wanted to say was "because she is a respectable woman." When he said something was wrong, he quickly changed his mouth.
Hearing this, Dai Yilan felt very happy. The emperor didn't want to bully Zhao Yuqiao, it turned out that he had seen his affection.
"Then, Master, why do you leave me in the palace? Do you want me to be your concubine?" Dai Yilan suddenly remembered a question and asked directly.
"Silly girl, you an unmarried girl, are you really good to ask such a straightforward question?" Zhu Youlang was stunned by the question, his old face turned red, he touched his nose awkwardly, and asked embarrassedly: "This, that, Alan, I am just about to ask you, are you willing to be my concubine?"
"Of course I do." Alan was not shy at all, his eyebrows flashed and he replied excitedly.
"Really? That's great. When Guangzhou settles down and brings the Empress Dowager and Empress, I will issue an order to enthrone you as a concubine."
Dai Yilan agreed so happily, which made Zhu Youlang feel happy. He didn't expect that chasing a beautiful woman was so simple, and it was a peerless beauty like Alan. When he was happy, he reached out to pull Alan.
Alan Ren Zhu Youlang held his hands, looked at him with big watery eyes affectionately, and said, "Master, if you want me to be your concubine, you have to pass my Mimi level."
"Mimi?"
"It's mother, our Zhuang tribe calls mother Mimi."
"Of course, didn't I say that? I won't force anyone to marry, so I will naturally have to ask your mother's consent." Zhu Youlang replied happily.
"But, my Mimi's level is not easy. Actually... you don't need to be more domineering. As long as you give an imperial edict, I Mimi will definitely not dare to object." Alan wanted to speak but stopped and said in a vain.
"I know, you Zhuang people want to propose marriage to the same song, right? When you have time, let your tribe members witness it. Let us play the same songs well and let them see some of my singing voice." Zhu Youlang said disrespectfully.
Isn’t it just a right song? The songs in "Liu Sanjie" are so beautiful and so nice! They are classics that you can sing and can’t match the songs of this era? Besides, when encountering difficulties, as long as you are familiar with the beautiful melody, you can edit the lyrics and put them on the top.
"It's not that barrier. Yes, yes..." Alan said hesitantly when he saw that Zhu Youlang was wrong.
"What is it? Tell me quickly." Zhu Youlang hurriedly urged before he saw Alan so unhappy.
"Mimi once made an oath not to let my sister marry the Han people."
