Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"I have to digest a lot of things myself, so I am getting fatter and fatter."

Zhang Xin touched his face, looked at himself, glanced at Zhu Gaochi, and told the biggest truth.

"Hahahahahahaha—Zhang Dahua, you're making me laugh to death."

Zhu Gaochi burst into laughter.

"Haha, as long as you are happy."

Zhang Xin almost rolled her eyes to the sky.

Before returning, after learning about Zhu Qizhen's war deeds in the Merit Department, she felt that her mentality was not good. She had to prepare herself mentally before going to bed every night.

Only by forgiving everyone and everything can a person be at peace.

But in the end——

Forget it! I won’t sleep anymore! I can’t forgive you!

It was only after so many years had passed since she came back that Zhu Zhanji's short-lived crisis was over and she finally calmed down.

Now I can basically eat and sleep.

How can I not be fat!

Hey, that's not right.

It seems like this month has been delayed for a few days?

Zhang Xin suddenly woke up at this moment.

Suddenly I couldn’t remember when my second son was born.

I vaguely think it was the fourth or fifth year of Yongle?

Anyway, there is a big age difference between the eldest son and the second son.

Zhang Xin is a little vague about when her daughter and younger son were born.

The other memories are quite clear.

Is this what the fairy said, if some people in the small world change too much, her memory of this person in her previous life will gradually become blurred or even disappear?

So, the second son is coming?

Zhang Xin was horrified and pulled Zhu Gaochi and quickened his pace.

"Hurry, let's greet Dad and Mom and go back quickly. I remembered that I still have something to do."

She had to go back and write down the key points about her son and daughter in advance.

Just like the third strong wind that happened to my father-in-law.

Even if I have to do it again, I will make up for it no matter what.

Then maybe what is supposed to happen will happen.

"Oh."

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

He was already used to the fact that Zhang Xin was impatient.

Besides, when Zhang Xin went to pay her respects, she did so in order to act coquettishly and receive compliments.

He went there to be met with cold faces and cold stares.

The shorter the stay, the better!!!

~~~~

The next day, Yao Niang came over to take my pulse.

Zhang Xin was indeed pregnant.

It's not the full month yet, so Zhang Xin just became plump and has no other symptoms.

Yao Niang also checked with Wei, who happened to come to see Zhang Xin, and it turned out that the baby in her belly was one month older than Zhang Xin's.

"My period is irregular, I just think it's because I'm not used to the new place!"

Wei was also confused.

She has always been very sensitive, the type that can't sleep even if you change beds.

When I moved to a new place, it was like I lost my period.

"That's great. This confinement room can be put to good use. You can move in after you move in. Then I can keep all those people in the nursing room."

Zhang Xin is planning to clean up the people employed in these two places these days.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy.

"Sister-in-law is obsessed with money."

Wei covered her mouth and laughed.

"What can we do? There are about a thousand people who are here to serve us. They make money every day."

Zhang Xin was helpless.

Some people have already left the palace.

It turns out there’s more.

In her previous life, she took over the palace affairs after her mother-in-law passed away. At that time, the imperial city was well organized and the number of people was more than half of what it is now.

Now that I have taken over, I find the expenses a bit unbearable.

Zhu Yunwen's Queen Ma probably did not take good care of the entire imperial city.

It's a mess everywhere.

She packed them up one by one and could only say.

A lot of money wasted up front.

The late emperor was very stingy and spent a lot of money in vain.

The two chatted for a while, and then Wei left. Then Zhang Xin called Hu Shanggong over.

"The people in the nursing room should be prepared. The Second Prince's wife and I will give birth soon after each other."

"Yes, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness."

Hu Shanggong was stunned for a moment, then reacted with a look of joy on her face.

"We just don't need that many people. We are not like the previous emperor, who had so many concubines. Dad didn't get any new women, so I'm afraid he won't have any more children. Let's reduce the number by half."

Zhang Xin considered it for a moment and decided to reduce it by half first.

In the imperial city, forty wet nurses were selected every season and kept in the etiquette room, called "seasonal wet nurses".

Another eighty backup women should be selected to live in their own homes and be called "Maoniankou".

This amount is enough for everyone in their family to drink...

Moreover, during the entire Yongle reign, there were only a few children, and it was no longer as prosperous as it was when the previous emperor was alive.

What a waste of money.

It is also against the will of heaven. Most of the wet nurses who have breastfed the princes did not live well after returning home.

The wet nurses were selected between the ages of fifteen and twenty. If they became wet nurses, they had to stay in the palace for three months without being allowed to go home.

If she was chosen to be the prince's wet nurse, she could only leave the palace and return home after six years.

After they returned, the children in the family were no longer close to each other, and the men were mostly unable to get by in the past six years.

It’s okay if men have some conscience, but if not, they will all live a very depressed life.

Those who were chosen to be wet nurses were mostly of docile character, and the palace also stipulated that wet nurses were not allowed to have any contact with the princes.

It was when my father-in-law ascended the throne and bestowed a title on Feng that he discovered that Feng's life was not going very well.

In this case, Zhang Xin wanted to go back and talk to Xu about the wet nurse and change it to a wet nurse.

Change quarterly.

There is no need to feed them for that long. Ordinary people only feed them for a year or two. It’s not like there is no food or drink in the palace.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xu was used to the various reforms carried out by Hu Shanggong and Zhang Xin, so she did not object but just nodded her head in agreement.

"As for Madam Baosheng Zhenshun, remember to have Shang Gong Hu send someone to check on her from time to time. The same goes for the eldest prince's wet nurse, Yang. Also, send people to check on the second and third princes and the princesses from time to time."

Zhang Xin followed up with another reminder.

Lady Baosheng Zhenshun Feng was my father-in-law’s wet nurse in his early years, and Yang was Zhu Gaochi’s wet nurse.

When they were in Prince Yan's Mansion, annual festival gifts were sent to the wet nurses who had fed them.

Well, actually, this gift doesn't bring much benefit to the wet nurses.

It still requires people in the palace to knock on it from time to time.

The wet nurses entered the palace for money, but they also spent a lot of effort to raise the children in the palace. She had even arranged her own wet nurse in advance, so it was only right for her to take care of them.

"Yes, Your Highness. What about our eldest grandson's wet nurse?"

After receiving the order, Hu Shang Gong asked again, when the emperor's family moved in, the eldest grandson did not have a wet nurse with him.

"Zhanji doesn't need it. He doesn't have a wet nurse."

Zhang Xin thought about it and responded.

At that time, Zhanji had a wet nurse named Li, who had a good character. After Zhanji ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Lady Fengshang on her.

This time I was born a year earlier and didn't meet this Li.

She fed him herself for six months. Zhu Zhanji was not picky about the wet nurses who came after him and would send them out of the palace after feeding them for a few months. When he was over one year old, he no longer liked to drink.

The wet nurses returned home early and did not develop any relationship with Zhu Zhanji.
