Chapter 407 The Role of Concubine Chen
Ms. Chen also read a lot of books. Medical books say that papaya has the effect of harmonizing the stomach and relaxing muscles, dispelling rheumatism, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
But she didn’t know there was something wrong with Zhu Zaijing’s subtext.
So, when she heard Zhu Zaijing say that eating more papaya was good for her, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart.
Ms. Chen gently took a bite of the papaya that Zhu Zaijing brought over, and thanked Zhu Zaijing: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the papaya is very fragrant, and I like it very much."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "Since you also like papayas, when Meng Chong comes over to them later, I will ask them to distribute some papayas to your courtyard. In the future, with papayas and my efforts, you If he also has an heir, he will not starve."
What Zhu Zaijing said made Chen feel a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing ordered Meng Chong to arrange for the two side dishes cooked in the small kitchen to be served.
Zhu Zaijing continued to invite Mr. Chen to try the craftsmanship in his small kitchen.
Ms. Chen gently tasted the dishes that Zhu Zaijing enthusiastically introduced, and she indeed found that Zhu Zaijing's taste was very light, not as heavy as the traditional northerners.
Moreover, these light side dishes still retain the original fragrance of vegetables, which makes Ms. Chen, who has always been elegant and elegant, like it very much and can't help but eat more.
Seeing how delicious Chen's food was, Zhu Zaijing also said: "People eat the five flavors out of desire. Although the tastes of bitter, spicy, sour, sweet and salty are different, it is inevitable that there will be a burden if the taste is heavy. Therefore, my diet has always been light and delicious to suppress the desires in my heart. "What does Concubine Chen think of me?"
Mr. Chen heard that Zhu Zaijing Asking what she had said, she gently put down the silver chopsticks in her hand and replied: "What the prince said is very reasonable, but I feel it."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Chen's hesitation in speaking. , couldn't help but asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Ms. Chen seemed to suddenly think of something, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she whispered: "I feel that the prince is not a person who restrains his desires."
Zhu Zaijing was startled when he heard this, but then he reacted.
Zhu Zaijing smiled a little awkwardly and said to Mrs. Chen: "I don’t know what my concubine is, but since I have practiced some Taoist methods, my physical fitness has become very strong. In addition, I am still young and full of energy, so sometimes it is inevitable that I will have excess energy, which will cause my beloved concubine to suffer.” The prince has worked too hard and is exhausted."
Meng Chong stood in the corner of the small restaurant, listening to the conversation between Zhu Zaijing and Chen. He also had a confused look on his face. He seemed to understand everything, but he didn't seem to understand a word. Didn't understand.
I really don’t know what riddle the prince and Concubine Chen are playing?
Moreover, according to Meng Chong's previous memories, although Concubine Chen was a concubine of the royal palace and was stunningly beautiful, Zhu Zaijing rarely went to her courtyard.
I don’t know what happened to the wind today, but it actually blew Concubine Chen into the courtyard of the prince’s study.
Moreover, the prince was in a good mood and asked him to add two more dishes.
Has the trend in the palace changed now? Is Concubine Chen going to be favored?
Of course, Zhu Zaijing didn't know about Meng Chong's thoughts, and he didn't care.
Everything in the palace is not done by people, but by rules.
For example, Li Xuanshi and Si Hua were also favored by Zhu Zaijing, but Zhu Zaijing never gave them any excessive rewards or excessive favors. They met them in the palace When Princess Li and her concubine Chen see each other, they still have to obey the rules and say hello.
Otherwise, Zhu Zaijing would not have shown any mercy to them. Because Zhu Zaijing knew very well how serious problems his favor and favoritism would cause in the back house.
So, when dealing with the female family members of the harem, Zhu Zaijing adheres to the concept of order of superiority and inferiority. This feudal order maintains the stability of the harem and gives the princess enough dignity. and authority.
Otherwise, if these women have nothing to do all day long and are arrogant about being favored, what the hell will happen?
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing's favor must be favored and love must be loved. There should be rules but no chaos.
So even if Meng Chong saw the signal that Chen might be favored, he could only think that Zhu Zaijing's taste had changed and he wanted to try a new feeling.
After lunch, Zhu Zaijing asked Meng Chong to remove all these things.
Then Zhu Zaijing pulled Chen aside, looked at a pile of documents that had not yet been processed, and said: "My beloved, this is the patent matter I told you yesterday. These things are now We, the royal family, cannot let others interfere in our own affairs.”
"But I have been assigned the responsibility of supervising the country by His Majesty, so I can't devote too much energy to the affairs in our house. I will tell you later how to deal with and classify these things, and you can try to deal with one or two , it can be considered as sharing my worries."
Ms. Chen looked at so many documents and listened to Zhu Zaijing's words. She hummed softly, "I'll give it a try."
Zhu Zaijing smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Zhu Zaijing also thought carefully about letting Chen participate in these chores that Zhu Zaijing couldn't handle.
First of all, Zhu Zaijing knew Chen's character well. He knew that Chen was a cold-tempered person who did not like diplomacy.
And now Princess Li's thoughts are all on Zhu Yiyi, so that the internal management of the palace seems a bit lax, and no one can be found to be responsible.
As a concubine, Chen has the responsibility to assist the princess in handling the internal affairs of the palace.
So, Zhu Zaijing thought that in this case, it would be better to give Chen something serious to do, so that she would not continue to live in her own world and read some messy books all day long. Thinking of admonishing her husband to be a "good person".
Therefore, under Zhu Zaijing's calculation, he guided Chen to these things.
Let Mr. Chen help him share some of the pressure of affairs, and at the same time enjoy an elegant affair.
Zhu Zaijing was in a very good mood as he watched Mr. Chen carefully look through the documents about the patents in Shunyi and Xishan.
Although Zhu Zaijing was also interested in entrusting patent management to court bureaucrats, considering the current quality and thinking of officials, he looked down upon such so-called "skillful and obscene skills". of.
So, Zhu Zaijing stopped looking for trouble, and simply made the matter an internal matter of the palace, treating it as part of the palace's industrial management.
Now that Chen is looking at these things, although she is a little struggling and cannot understand the meaning, she also understands that these things are important matters related to the interests of the palace.
As the half-heroine of the palace, she must do her best to straighten out these things.
In this way, the interests of the palace can be guaranteed, and her identity and authority as the heroine will be reflected accordingly.
