It should have been the second year of Zhengde in history, but now it is the twentieth year of Hongzhi, and the crown prince Zhu Houzhao is finally getting married. Because Emperor Hongzhi did not want to add burden to the people, this time the selection of concubines was still only for good families in the two capitals of the north and the south.
Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao did not have too many requirements for his future empress. He only hoped to choose a woman who was well-educated, well-mannered, and who loved to study and learn as much as he did.
Hongzhi and Empress Zhang were deeply in love, and he also hoped that his son could marry a wife who was like him, so he smiled and said: "When the daughter enters the palace, you can ask the eunuchs to test their talents and choose a queen who is both talented and beautiful."
The prince was very excited. He was already thinking about being a groom before he even got married. He wrote down all the topics that he was concerned about and asked his two uncles to review and help him improve the paper. When the Ministry of Rites officially presented the wedding ceremony for the prince, he hesitated and presented the paper he had written to Emperor Hongzhi, asking his father what he thought of the topics he had written.
very good.
