Chapter 154: Xiaoman (3)
Seeing that Xiao Man was distracted and didn't speak, Wei Chimu asked again.
She glanced at him, what did she want? She just wanted a peaceful and ordinary life, and now he could give it to her? In the palace, she was destined not to be peaceful, nor to be ordinary.
"There's nothing you particularly want, why don't you let me out of the palace for a day?" she asked tentatively.
Although she is not a queen now, nor is she a concubine with a title, the emperor's concubine is absolutely not wrong, and since she is the emperor's concubine, it is not so easy to get out of the palace.
Yu Chimu pondered for a long time, a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes bent into a crescent moon, and said with a smile: "Okay!"
Chi Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see a flower, but he just agreed.
Time flies, and in a few days it will be Xiaoman's birthday. During these days, Xiaoman didn't go to Concubine Shu every day...... Now it should be called the Empress Dowager's Cihui Palace, chatting with the Empress Dowager, is to play "mahjong" with several palace maids, as well as the cards she "invented", checkers and other games.
Just by using those games, she has successfully bought those palace maids, not to mention that because Xiao Man has always been kind and caring for her subordinates, her popularity in the palace is even higher than that of Yu Chimu, the emperor!
Because life is too comfortable, she almost thinks that it is good to live like this.
It's just that just a few days before her birthday, something happened that forced her to make the decision to leave.
In the Chengtian Palace, the bright yellow Wei Chi Mu sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below condescendingly, and said the daily routine of "there is something to play, nothing to retreat from the court", the ministers began to whisper, but after waiting for a while, no one started playing, and he was slightly distracted.
Thinking that it would be Xiaoman's birthday in five days, he promised to let her go out of the palace for a day, and he made some preparations early, but he didn't know that she was not satisfied with that kind of preparation, and a feeling of nervousness and anticipation rose in his heart.
Just when he was thinking about things, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”
"What did Aiqing do?" a trace of helplessness flashed on Wei Chimu's face. To be honest, what he is most afraid of now is the performance of this Ministry of Rites Shangshu, because as far as he likes to mention the matter after the establishment, Xiaoman let him drag it there, but a Ministry of Rites Shangshu is also counted, but he seems to have instigated other ministers, and now all the ministers have to mention this matter to him every once in a while, and his ears are about to grow calluses when he hears it.
"It has been more than two months since the emperor ascended the throne, but there is only one concubine in the harem, and there are no heirs, the descendants of the royal family are not prosperous, which is harmful to the national body, and the emperor is invited to accept a concubine. ”
As soon as the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, the rest of the ministers said in unison: "Please ask the emperor to accept a concubine." ”
After he can't get it, you want to force him to take a concubine?
Wei Chimu's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said coldly: "Are you people idle all day and have nothing to do? I have only been on the throne for two months, is it more important to take the concubine than the state affairs?"
"Your Majesty, state affairs are important, but the emperor is twenty-three years old, and the first emperor is at the emperor's age—"
"That's enough! Wei Chimu was furious and interrupted the words of the Ministry of Rites.
"Your Majesty! The emperor's refusal to accept a concubine is not the meaning of the full concubine?" Although Yu Chimu did not give Xiaoman a title, he was originally the princess of Wei Chimu, and now Wei Chimu has ascended the throne as the emperor, theoretically the queen of course, but now it has not been canonized, and the Ministry of Rites naturally follows the convention and takes one of the words in Xiaoman's name to call him.
"Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Man, I said that I should not mention this matter again, if there is nothing else to do, I will retreat!" After speaking, seeing that no one dared to speak again, Wei Chimu got up, threw his sleeves and left.
And in Xiaoman in Fengyi Palace, not long after the next dynasty, she received news here that those ministers wanted the emperor to be established, and now they are intensifying their efforts to ask the emperor to accept concubines.
This matter was expected by Chi Xiaoman, but she didn't expect that those ministers were really anxious, Wei Chimu had only been on the throne for more than two months, and he was eager for him to fill the harem.
However, while knowing this qiē, he also sighed.
She has seen a lot of similar historical stories, whether they are official or wild. The emperor doesn't get in on the salt, so then they will turn the finger on themselves, right?
In a few days, I am afraid that I will have the notoriety of "jealous woman" on my head. (To be continued......)
