There has been no illness in the four years of the court, and when he came out, he fell ill. It's not a big deal, but it's a cold at night and a small cough - but it's a great opportunity to deal with my mother's ambiguous attitude. I didn't call someone to go to the imperial doctor to report the illness, but lazily lay in the dormitory for a day, and the next morning Ah Huan sent Li You's wife Wu and Qiqi to see me together, I learned that the affairs of the palace were presided over by her, and Li De Li You's wife Wu was in charge, and it was very reasonable to think about it.

The Wu family who came here is the great-grandson of the mother's uncle, and the nephew and grandnephew of the mother, perhaps because of the distant relationship, but there is no arrogance, but he does not speak much, mainly from Qiqi to convey to me the care of the eldest sister-in-law of Ah Huan, and send suitable medicine gifts. I took this opportunity to half-jokingly ask Qiqi about the situation in the palace in the past few years, and Qiqi had a serious face and gave me a brief description of the characters in the palace in front of the Wu family.

Unlike what I imagined, there were almost no major changes in the personnel in the palace, the six Shang twelve officials, except for Shangfu, who had an illness and retired, was settled by the palace as usual, and Shang Yu and Shang Yi each had a deputy with seniority and was promoted to a regular member, all of whom were old people. Even these two deputies who were promoted were gradually used as full-time members before I entered the court, and now they are only justifiably carried forward. In the province of internal servants, almost all of the original officials are still there, but there are many new people, the province originally had four internal servants, six internal servants, but now there are about 20 people in the main and deputies, and the number of confessors, courts, palace officials, Xi officials, internal servants, and consuls in the inner palace is far more than before, and there are many officials outside the staff, all of whom are in the province of internal service with their names, but they lead the envoys of the functions of the stable, the guard, the palace gate, and the copper kuang— In fact, there are many more such positions in Liushang, but the number is less than that of the chamberlain, and the deeper these people are with the harem, and they are closer to their mothers, Qiqi is not good to talk to me too much.

After Ah Huan sent someone to see me, my mother sent someone to give me medicine again, and the person who came was Cui Mingde.

Cui Shanggong is really majestic now, wearing the new dynasty system, The crimson satin shirt between the women's dress and the men's official uniform, covered with a dark gown like a man's half-arm, the inner and outer clothes are embroidered with flowers that are far more exquisite than the five-grade robes, and the hem is embroidered with silver thread to create two layers of waves, wearing a wreath of life, stepping on crimson silk shoes, leading two columns of eighteen palace people straight into the inner hall, standing in front of the bed, I was startled by not wanting to drink medicine, half opened my mouth, and the fairy eye quickly poured a spoonful of medicine into my throat, so bitter that I couldn't speak, so I had to stand up and salute Cui Mingde perfunctorily.

She didn't see it, but opened her mouth to proclaim a word of consolation, and without any manuscript, she sprinkled a large series of words with a low tone and a sincere feeling: first, I was frail and sickly, and I had been raised in confinement for four years, and now I was well, and my mother was very pleased—this was a perfunctory past of my four years in captivity; There is any connection with filial piety, but what the sage says, then it is; the third thing has actually been explained by the first two things, but the mother seems to be afraid that others will not understand, and specially explained, saying that although I am sick, but I can not shirk my responsibilities, housework can not be slack, when at home can be simple but not despise the number of courtesies, and relatives can not be unfamiliar, although the palace is no longer my home, but still my mother's home, often have to go to the palace to walk, accompany the old mother to talk, relieve boredom, and sometimes also share the worries of the mother——It is purely the earnest tone of a loving mother's instructions to her children.

After reading a large article, I have been kneeling for a long time, moved my knees, looked up at Cui Mingde, her face did not move, and said lightly: "Your Majesty gives things." "Don't take the list of orders and other things, read out a long list of names clearly, after each paragraph, the palace people behind her stepped forward, opened the box in her hand, and presented it to me, and when I took a look, it was handed over to the palace people of Lichuntai, eighteen people happened to hold eighteen boxes of things, mostly jewelry, gold and silver, etc., bells and whistles, I took a look, and I couldn't see what was inside, just ask someone to pick it up, and Cui Er could still remember these clearly.

After reading the reward, I thought I could finally get up, but she looked upright, and comforted me in my mother's tone - the oral announcement was still the edict drafted on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but in the end this was purely my mother's spoken language, and even the tone was imitated well, always talking back and forth, kneeling until I lost my temper, and then she helped me up and turned to me: "I've seen Erniang." ”

The eighteen people went out after handing over the reward, and even the people next to me also withdrew with interest, I knew that Cui Mingde must have something to say, so I led her to the side, and sat down at a table: "Long time no see, Erniang is good?"

She pursed her lips and said, "It's always like that." He glanced at me and smiled lightly: "I wanted to send a message, but I didn't want you to get sick first." ”

I listened to her, as if I thought I was pretending to be sick - I guess even my mother in the palace thought this way - and it was difficult to explain, so I could only touch my nose and say, "It's not a serious illness." ”

She hummed softly and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to explain to you a little about the affairs of the past one or two years, and I wrote a notebook, which you can read when you have time." "I took out a codex and gave it to me, and what was written in it was not much different from what Qiqi said, and after reading it, I just knew who to look for.

I laid the paper flat in the middle where she and I could see it, and looked up at her with a smile, "That's all?"

She smiled lightly, pointed to Wan'er's name and said: "Now the most important people in the imperial front are Gao Weng and Shangguan Chengzhi. Gao Weng needless to say, Shangguan Chengzhi used to be the same as us, it was a ten-day value, and it was replaced by an edict by chance, but now it is three or four days out of ten days to stay overnight. ”

I said: "In the past, the six Shang members were not full, and even the people who had to be used by Ah Niang in front of him, a total of twenty people, so it was only replaced on ten days, and now there are so many people, and she is still called to be on duty for three or four nights?"

Cui Mingde showed a slightly strange look, in my opinion, it seemed to be a little sarcastic: "That's why I specially want to mention her to you, others are on night duty outside, but when she is on night duty, she is often summoned inside, and she will come out before Dan." His Majesty came to the court as a female host, and someone proposed that the palace officials and concubines in the harem were originally serving the Son of Heaven, but today the son is a woman, and the concubines have no name, so it is better to abolish them, or send them to the temple as usual, or reappoint them to the position of internal officials, but His Majesty said, 'Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of emperors and concubines, and I have not seen any advice from the ministers, but there is such a discussion when I come here, is it not that I am a female emperor?', not only refused to accept the advice, but also sealed the three Chengzhi in one go, all of them lived alone in one hall like concubines, and went in and out of the palace, just like the example of the harem. ”

I said, "A-Niang, this is angry." ”

Cui Mingde said: "Whether it's angry or serious, in short, the children and maids who are the servants of Princess Anding, Your Majesty have left them with a smile, and the most favored of them is a pair of sisters, who have been given six times in March, and they are specially allowed to wear scarlet clothes and be worshiped by the five products, you should be polite when you see them- These are all palace secrets, I guess in private, there is no real evidence, the people next to me can't think of that place, that is, I thought of it, the servants and maids do some things for the master's mother, and it is not a commendable matter, but Shangguan Chengzhi is different from others, and may not want others to know that she does such a sycophant, you don't want to go around and touch her heart. ”

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak for a while. 166 Reading Network
