19. Chapter 19

It is true that the emperor is the emperor, but he does not have three thousand beauties in the harem as ordinary people think, and that description is an imaginary number. In the harem, there are only 100 people who really have an intimate relationship with the emperor, and all of them are often described as tens of millions, including the palace maids who serve in the palace, because these women in the palace are also the emperor's women in theory.

Today's succession is smooth, and there is no great wisdom and courage to fight, the number of his harem compared with the emperors of previous dynasties, also belongs to the middle to small category, in addition to the queen, there are less than ten concubines, plus those emperors themselves may not remember clearly dressing beauties, etc., it is only worthy of more than 30 people.

From a certain point of view, he is really a bad woman today, which is also confirmed by the princess.

However, because she has no children so far, the Queen Mother feels that these concubines in the harem are not very useful, and she is planning the next draft to get a few good ones, so the calm situation in the harem may be broken soon.

As the only daughter of the Queen Mother, and the eldest daughter, the eldest princess is deeply trusted, and she was entrusted with the important task of inspecting suitable men and women, that is, selecting concubines for the emperor, which is a job that makes people blush.

Li Zhe frowned, a little displeased with this, as far as he knew, this kind of situation where the princess was involved in the emperor's younger brother's harem affairs was the source of chaos, and it was not a good thing, and it was very likely that the concubine in the harem was resentful and secretly stumbling or something.

"When my son grows up, he thinks more. The eldest princess has been in the top position for a long time, where does she not know the truth, seeing Li Zhe's sad face, she slapped his hand with a smile, "It's okay, it's just to accompany the queen mother, it's just filial piety." ”

The meaning of these words is naturally not to meddle, otherwise if something goes wrong with the person chosen, it will easily affect her, the eldest princess, so why bother.

Li Zhe didn't say much, and the eldest princess naturally didn't need him to teach.

It is rare to be so worried by her son, the eldest princess is relieved and inevitably has to teach her son some things, she is most familiar with the battle in the palace, thinking that her son is about to get married, some things must be said in advance, so as not to be confused by women.

But anyone who is a mother, especially a mother who brought up her son alone, always can't let go of her son in her heart, for fear that he will marry his daughter-in-law and forget his mother, so he has to take a vaccination in advance.

may not know what the vaccination is, but the eldest princess already has such an awareness, so she casually talked about the emperor's harem, and she is most familiar with these.

Today's queen is the granddaughter of the Qingliu Confucian, she grew up reading the four books of women, and she is too convinced of the virtue of women, and she can't even talk about it today, think about it, who likes the kind of woman whose words and deeds are textbooks, and if you make a joke, you will be accused of not being dignified, and no one can stand it.

The emperor is a bottom-line, even if the wife is not in line with his wishes, he also gives the respect he deserves, and after becoming the emperor, he didn't say anything about abolishing the queen, but silently set up a concubine. That concubine was short-lived, had no children, went early, and became a cinnabar mole in the emperor's heart, and now the favored concubine in the harem is said to be quite like a concubine.

In addition, there are also virtuous and virtuous concubines, some of whom are held by the queen mother, and some are held by the queen. I don't like the emperor very much, but with a daughter and a position, whether the emperor likes it or not is actually not very important.

The rest of the concubines, the eldest princess is not very familiar, and there is no special favor among them, this is in the limelight today, Ming'er may be the one who has the upper hand, because the emperor likes poetry, calligraphy and painting, and the women in the harem are also talented, and these talented women have a common disease, that is, they are not in good health, and they are sick at both ends for three days, and they are all pitiful delicate flowers.

It's a pity that there is only one person who pities the flowers.,Sometimes I love the flowers I draw on the paper more.,There are few beauties in the harem who aren't depressed.,Even the whole harem is sick and weak.。

The eldest princess is not that type of woman, and if she is, she will not be able to choose her own husband. Compared with these pitiful delicate flowers, she prefers a bright, generous and dignified woman like Princess Chaoyang, so she can't help but associate with her son.

"Your uncle's lonely self-appreciating problem really needs to be cured, no matter what, the heir is more important, he is not small, it is time to be in a hurry. ”

The eldest princess said and felt speechless, it seemed that she shouldn't say this to her son, she looked like a woman with a broken mouth, Li Zhe observed the words, smiled, and picked up the words of "Shoushan Tu".

The painting was taken out by his own hands at the time, and it was also carried in the car at this time, and it was not placed with other gifts, but it was convenient to open and view.

The eldest princess is a gentleman, at this point she is actually a hobby with the emperor, the original owner's father is not the "delicate" type of weak scholar, so for this kind of elegant things, the eldest princess also has some appreciation, but, out of some sensitivity, the first thing she looks at is not the quality of the painting, but the red seal.

When I saw it, I smiled, "How did you deal with it?"

In front of her only son, the eldest princess is like an ordinary mother, adding a bit of intimacy.

"Naturally, I want to praise it, such a painting is just right to copy, and I will send it in a few days, so as to show my heart. ”

Li Zhe was happy to communicate so easily, at the beginning, he didn't dare to talk to the eldest princess much, after all, mother and son are connected, and it would be bad if he was found to have changed his core.

Later, he found out that he was too worried, aristocratic women raising children are a model, the eldest princess has a noble status, she has never drunk a sip of breast milk since she was a child, and she also has a large group of subordinates to take care of her on weekdays, what she can do is to ask one or two, and then tease one or two, the so-called upbringing is also after the child can speak sensibly, and most of them have invited a famous teacher to teach.

It is precisely for this reason that when communicating with her son rarely, the eldest princess calls herself "mother", not only for cordiality, but also to let the child understand the meaning of this word, so as not to let those grandmothers who have grown up with milk children take advantage of the mother-son relationship.

All this, the eldest princess did not have a trace of bad thoughts after seeing Li Zhe's changes, everyone would think better about their children, not to mention that Li Zhe's previous appearance was not bad, but now she just likes something and is more motivated, what's the big deal.

After figuring out this context, Li Zhe and the eldest princess got along much more naturally, and they couldn't let go of their talking, after all, after having a good interest, being positive or something, it was not impossible to explain it smoothly.

It's normal for young people in their formative years to change day by day.

The eldest princess also naturally accepted this change, since she knew that her son was sensible and grew up, she was willing to say more about some things, except for entering the palace to talk to the queen mother on weekdays, at other times, she was surrounded by subordinates, and it was not easy to pour out any things on her mind, so as not to make people listen to selfish thoughts.

"That's exactly how it should be. ”

Rolled up the painting with her own hands, the eldest princess looked at her son with a smile in her eyes, sure enough, she grew up, and she knew that she was thinking about her uncle's birthday.

"Your uncle will be glad to see it. I was very satisfied with my son's growth, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, time flies, my son grew up in a blink of an eye, and there was still a little sour for a while.

Li Zhe ignored the princess's thoughts, turned his mind to the night pearl, and said tentatively: "No matter how good the painting is, it is not a rarity, I saw a night pearl from my uncle, placed on the imperial table, and my uncle loved it very much." ”

"The night pearl is a rare treasure, and it is not easy to obtain, that is, only the virtuous concubine and others can get it, and we can't compare. The eldest princess said this with some resentment.

Li Zhe was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't ask anymore, and hurriedly diverted the topic, only saying "the heart is the most important", and talked about the treasures rewarded by the emperor, and the mother and son chatted about something else.

Back in the house, Li Zhe didn't put this matter down, one day after finishing the painting, he found a conversation and talked about the night pearl, and he had to ask a little about the roots of the concubine.

He didn't have a grandmother by his side, and he didn't want to ask solemnly about this matter, so he asked casually, wanting to know some common sense that the public knew, so as not to expose his feet in the future.

Yuqiong and Yuhuan didn't pay attention to it for a few days, they were already anxious, they had a problem listening, and they didn't care what the sin of the palace lady was, they complemented each other and said everything they knew.

Li Zhe said "oh" quietly, and regretted the goodness of the pearl that night, saying that it was good to use that thing to illuminate, and his words were quite covetous.

Naturally, this remark can't be concealed from the eldest princess, she is not afraid to reach out to the emperor to ask for something, but that thing is really the emperor's favorite, which has not been replaced for many years, and it is the emperor's birthday soon, it is really not good to let him cut his love at this time.

The eldest princess called Li Zhe over, gave a bunch of things, and said this truth earnestly, and finally said: "If you really like it, and wait a few days, after the birthday banquet, my mother wants to come over for you." ”

Li Zhe was much more relaxed after making sure that the pearl really had nothing to do with his own family, and said with a smile: "Mother should spare me, I don't dare to ask for that thing, lest the ancestors blame me for being the last in the future." ”

This was said so clearly that the eldest princess was stunned, and after thinking about it, her face changed in an instant, and she grabbed Li Zhe's arm and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

As for the source of this statement, Li Zhe shrugged his shoulders and showed the spirit of the second middle school teenager, "If my mother doesn't believe it, why ask me, I don't have any evidence, I just don't dare to ask for that Rausch thing." ”

Perhaps many traversers who encounter similar problems will falsely say "I don't know which book I have seen it in", or fictionalize a certain old Taoist monk and the like who have come and gone without a trace, and only say that he is kind to him, and he will say these things.

But Li Zhe's situation is special, he is such a rich and noble person, not to mention that when he takes a bath and goes to the toilet, he can't avoid people's eyes, that is, what books he reads, what he has learned, and he can really find it out.

The eldest princess had a stern face, compared to the emperor's too innocent temperament without struggle, she could come up with seventy or eighty conspiracies in the blink of an eye, and after asking Li Zhe not to tell outsiders about it, she hurried into the palace, no matter whether this matter was true or not, she had to sum it up with the queen mother first.

Li Zhe saw that she was so nervous, and another layer of worry in her heart could finally be put down, so this matter had nothing to do with the princess. After a moment of relaxation, I can't help but think about who can benefit from it.
