The weather in April is warm, and inside Miyagi, spring clothes have already changed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Concubine Guo Ning usually doesn't like to go out for a walk, but seeing such a good weather, under the persuasion of the female official, she finally agreed to go out for a walk.

This turn turned into the garden, in fact, this is not called a garden, it should be called a vegetable garden. For the garden, which should have been full of flowers and precious trees, was planted with crops of varying heights and heights, and the seedlings of wheat were planted not long ago, and they were carefully raised, but they were still a little wilted, and the slender stalks still had wet night dew, and the dew rolled down lightly in the gentle breeze.

There is also a special piece of cement to plant rice, I can't see how it grows, but a bunch of seedlings are green and lovely, crowded and clustered, at least the person who planted it is an expert, and the plants are lined up in a row, which looks neat.

Concubine Guo Ningfei looked around, the front piece of land is planted with beans, and the seedling rack is when the bean seedlings are unearthed and begin to climb the vines, the green of this delicate and tender vine is tender, and the leaves are not all verdant, there are also purple, and there are yellowish ones, in short, it looks very cute, looking at it from a distance, it looks like the girl's two long braids.

Concubine Guo Ning smiled and said, "When I was young, I planted such bean seedlings with my own hands, you see-"

"These pale green vine leaves are rainbow bean seedlings," she pointed to the shelf and explained to the female officer beside her, "the one with strong stalks and strong leaves is kidney beans, and the most green one is pea seedlings, which I love to eat." ”

Concubine Guo Ning naturally knew about these crops, because she was also the daughter of a small landowner in the countryside, and in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, she also lost the happy land that she cherished when she was young.

"April is also the busy season for farming," Guo Ningfei recalled: "Everyone was busy with the crops, and there was no leisure time. Sometimes, the women of the family also have to go to the fields to help. When I am busy and tired, I take a nap, but at this time I still refuse to have a good rest, and I beat the rap double drum at any time, and the most powerful one we have there is singing, which is the two sisters-in-law, one beats the drum, the other hits the gong, sings a minor key, and knocks between the drums and gongs. After listening to it for a long time, I don't know what I rapped!"

Concubine Guo Ning is a Hao person, Hao is Fengyang, and the emperor is a county, when the emperor has not yet made a career, passing by Concubine Ning's house, Concubine Ning's father Guo Shanfu looked at his face and thought it was unspeakably expensive. So he said to his sons Guo Xing and Guo Ying: "I told you before that you are the face of the marquis, just because you can follow this person. So Guo Ying and Guo Xing followed the emperor across the river, and then Guo Shanfu also married his daughter to the emperor, and when the emperor ascended the throne, he canonized her as Concubine Ning. Guo Xing and Guo Ying were also made marquis as his father predicted.

Concubine Ning is the first old man to belong to the emperor, and has been helping Queen Ma to take care of the inner palace. After the death of Queen Ma in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Concubine Li Shu, who had given birth to the second king of Qin and Jin, took care of the harem, and Concubine Li Shufei also died in the seventeenth year, so Concubine Guo Ning acted as the agent of the harem affairs until today.

Concubine Guo Ning walked around outside, sweating a little, her mood seemed to be much more relaxed, she returned to the dormitory to change her clothes, sat on the couch, and asked the female official to take out the letter from Shandong and read it again.

"Unfilial Sun Zhaoxuan will bow to his grandmother's knees again-" The female official had already read the letter dozens of times, and she could memorize it without reading it.

After she read it again, Concubine Guo Ning held the letter paper in her hand and kept rubbing it: "My good grandson, I am not yet six years old, I can read and read, you see, this letter is written by him himself, horizontally and vertically, and there is not a single typo!"

"The princess said in the letter," the female official said, "The prince was taught by the chief of the palace, and he was enlightened at the age of four, and now he has read the Analects, and he has almost recognized all the words." ”

"It's all good taught by the Tang family," Concubine Guo Ning said happily: "I have a good daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that Tan'er, the blessing is too shallow......"

Concubine Guo Ning served Taizu for nearly forty years, and only got one son, Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, ranked tenth. Hongwu was born in the third year, and he followed the kings of Qin and Jin to divide the fief in two months, and the fief was in Yanzhou, Lu State.

Zhu Tan is a good scholar and good at poetry. Because he was still young when he was a vassal member, Shandong was not as unstable as the fiefdoms of King Yan and King Jin in the north, and he still needed the vassal king to lead the troops to fight. Zhu Tan's fief is considered the hometown of etiquette and music, and he is also deeply influenced and is a well-educated Confucian. The only bad thing is that like the celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties, they like to take the medicine of gold and stone.

But the medicine of Jin Shi is not said to be eaten - the behavior of Wei and Jin celebrities is grotesque, and it is not a sequelae of taking this medicine. And Zhu Tan, the king of Lu, is even more of a pity, he directly took the medicine and hurt his eyes.

He was blind in one eye, and since then he has aroused the emperor's disgust. It didn't take long for such a depressed day to go, and nineteen-year-old Zhu Tan left the West. The emperor was also deeply ashamed of such a blind son, and the nickname he gave was a bad one-desolation.

Concubine Guo Ning only had this one son for half her life, and in the end, she ended up like this, and she was almost miserable. But the only thing that sustained her through the loss of her son was that his son still had a grandson who was still an infant.

This child was born in June of the twenty-first year of Hongwu, and his father died before he was a year old. This child was born to King Lu's concubine Ge Shi, and was raised in front of Princess Tang. Perhaps the emperor finally remembered a little benefit from this son, and in May of the twenty-third year, this child was named the prince of Lu, and as long as he grew up, he could inherit his father's title.

Concubine Guo Ning couldn't help at all in the palace, what she was most grateful to was her daughter-in-law Tang, Tang raised this child very well, and Zhao Xuan wrote letters from time to time to comfort her since she knew how to catch a pen.

Compared with other women in the palace, Concubine Guo Ning was satisfied.

Before she could recall the past days a little more, she heard the voice of the female official: "Niangniang, the emperor is here-"

The emperor's shoulder had stopped at the gate of her palace, and Concubine Guo Ning bowed with the support of the palace maid and welcomed the emperor into the main hall.

After sitting down, Concubine Ning kept bowing her head respectfully to listen to the training.

When Empress Xiaoci was there, she could still ask "Where did the emperor come from, what did he discuss with the courtiers outside, is the world peaceful", but even if Concubine Guo Ning accompanied him for a long time, she didn't dare to ask such a thing.

Especially today's emperor, it is already very different from before.

"A few days ago, I heard that you are not very good," the emperor's voice was as low and thick as ever, and he said: "The imperial doctor said that it was an ordinary wind chill, and I have seen your pulse case, and it is indeed an ordinary wind chill." How about now?"

Concubine Guo Ning heard him say that she had seen her own case, and no matter what, she still felt grateful in her heart.

"Yes, it's great. She replied, "Imperial Physician Chen's medicinal use is good. Emperor Xie asked. ”

"Chen Tingzhang still has some ability to see gynecology. After this, the temple seemed to fall silent.

"Is Cui Shanggong of the Shang Palace Bureau here?" the imperial lord sitting on the main seat suddenly asked.

"Cui Shanggong returned to his hometown as usual at the beginning of this year. Concubine Guo Ning replied: "Now that the Shang Palace is in short supply, please ask the emperor to pull one person." ”

"It's your business," the emperor said, "See for yourself." ”

"Since Cui Shanggong is not here," he said, "it's okay to call the secretary or the bookkeeper to come over, and ask them to bring all the books for the sweep court." ”

After a while, the two female officers hurried over.

The emperor looked through the list and said: "In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, I once sent an edict to Su Song Yousi, asking them to help in the draft, where the folk women are more than thirteen and nineteen, and the women are more than thirty and less than forty without a husband, regardless of their appearance and ugliness, but there is no evil disease, those who are willing to enter the palace to prepare the order, the woman will give 60 ingots of money, and the woman will give 50 ingots of money for the Taoist fee, and send them to Beijing." ”

"Yes. Concubine Guo Ning nodded.

"Now thirteen years have passed," the emperor said, "I have released two batches of female histories to return to their hometowns, and there are not enough alternatives to the court." You know what I mean, this year I will edict the place, and then the draft, before the winter moon, is about the same. When the time comes, you will choose the one who has the best words and merits, and I will be of other use. ”
