Chapter 53 There is an explanation
After Xue Huan said this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhu Qizhen, and sure enough, he saw a relaxed and happy look on his face.
He was always by Zhu Qizhen's side, so how could he not see through his thoughts? Moreover, this sentence helped countless people. It was a good thing for Zhu Qizhen, and it was also a help for Zhou Yingying. For those country girls who were able to take this opportunity to enter the palace together, it was a great opportunity that they would never encounter in their lifetime. These people all benefited from his favor.
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "My mother is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces and is very busy. It is indeed necessary to select more female officials to help her."
"Your Majesty has always been extremely filial to the Empress Dowager Cihui, so this is perfectly reasonable."
Zhu Yuhuan soon heard the news from Zhu Qizhen and silently spat in his heart.
Empress Dowager Zhang was not gone for long. It was a pity that Zhu Qizhen and Xue Huan, two poor chess players, could think of using the Empress Dowager's mouth to get someone into the palace.
But no matter what, Zhou Yingying's goal was finally achieved.
Leaving Changping Huangzhuang, the convoy drove around Changping, stopping here and there to inspect the situation. Whenever they came across a place, they would call out the elderly local people to meet them and ask them about local people's livelihood, just like Zhu Zhanji did when he patrolled the border.
The last stop in Changping is Tianshou Mountain, which is the location of the royal mausoleum since Zhu Di. The mausoleums of Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji are all here. Zhu Di’s mausoleum began to be built since the death of Empress Renxiao, and it was not completed until the second year of Xuande. Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji’s mausoleums were naturally not completed soon, and they are still not fully repaired. The Xianling Mausoleum of Zhu Gaochi and Empress Dowager Zhang has only completed the Xuan Palace for storing coffins, and the mausoleum on the ground is far from being completed.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, we have arrived at Tianshou Mountain."
Changling is located in the center of Tianshou Mountain, with Xianling and Jingling guarding Changling from the west and east respectively. Although this layout is good, it is troublesome for future generations, as they have to go back and forth to worship the three in order.
The group first visited Zhu Di's Changling Mausoleum, then Zhu Gaochi's Xianling Mausoleum, which was a very long and arduous journey, before finally arriving at Zhu Zhanji's Jingling Mausoleum.
Zhu Qizhen carefully looked at the mausoleum that had not yet been built. It was simply paved with floor tiles, but the scale of the imperial mausoleum could already be seen.
Because the underground palace had not been completely built and the emperor wanted to come and see it in person, the officials ordered craftsmen and laborers to build a simple pavilion for the emperor, the eldest princess and the princes to rest for a while.
Zhu Qizhen first took a look around and said somewhat unhappily: "Although the emperor's will required simplicity, this is too simple." He was wearing an ivory Taoist robe embroidered with dragon patterns, which sparkled and looked majestic in the sun.
The official naturally could not say that he was acting according to the rules, so he could only look at the eldest princess beside him for help.
Because it was a private visit to the mausoleum, Zhu Yuhuan dressed in a simple and elegant manner, wearing only an apricot yellow and grass green bodice and a horse-faced skirt. His long hair was combed into the simplest bun and simply accessorized with a few gold hairpins.
Zhu Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "Although the Emperor's mausoleum is a little small, this place has the best feng shui and is the best site proposed by the cabinet. It is for this reason that it was finalized when my grandmother was still alive."
When it comes to Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Qizhen naturally won't say much.
Since I'm already here at my dad's place, of course I have to pay him a visit.
Zhu Yuhuan glanced at the solemn expressions of the others, then looked at the cemetery that had not yet been completely built, without saying a word.
