Chapter Seventy-Four: Why Did You Come to Me?
Li Quan is the imperial manager of the Qianqing Palace, and he is also the great eunuch who serves the emperor closely, although he is said to accompany the king like a tiger, but he accompanies the emperor day and night, he dares to say that in this Forbidden City, those masters, no one knows the emperor better than himself, if he didn't give birth to the wrong gender, change gender, and enter the palace, maybe he can be a concubine and a concubine.
That's the case, those little beauties who promised themselves are not holding themselves one by one, those concubines, they are also polite when they see themselves, especially in these years, the emperor is old, the little princes have grown up, and they want to get the sacred heart, not only the princes, but also those adults whose nostrils are high, and when they see themselves, they can't wait to scold the two traitorous eunuchs to show their high loyalty, and they also have to laugh and hold their stinky feet.
Although I often worry about what the saint is, but we are rootless people who are living well now, where can we manage the future, when the time comes, I wipe my neck and go down to serve the master. Besides, seeing that the emperor can live for many years, it's still early to talk about this!
Thinking like this, who knew that the emperor fell asleep in the court today, and he didn't wake up after calling several times, if he hadn't finally woken up in a daze, he immediately shouted to retreat from the court, and the officials thought that the emperor was ......
That's how hundreds of officials are still speculating, you must know that yesterday was still a holiday, and the cabinet will not be on the fold, this is something that everyone knows, and it is impossible for the emperor to fall asleep overnight.
So, did the emperor favor the concubine last night so that he couldn't afford it early, or did the emperor reach that age, the former favored the concubine in his later years, and he didn't know how to measure, and the latter was old and old, the prince was young and strong, and the sons took the heir, which would cause turmoil in the court. The old ministers, who have gone through many dynasties, can't help but sigh that the sky is about to change again.
Li Quan supported or supported the emperor to the dragon, and instructed his apprentice to look at the emperor, help people into the inner palace, and arrange for people to ask for the imperial doctor. The emperor fell asleep in the court, he didn't dare to specialize in this kind of thing, and hurriedly ran to the harem, originally in the direction of Chengqian Palace, halfway through, and hurriedly turned to Kunning Palace.
When the emperor was named Zhao Ye, he had been on the throne for many years, the queen mother died early, and the original queen Sun died in childbirth after giving birth to the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince Zhao Zhenjin, and there was a daughter under her knee as the eldest princess.
Later, he succeeded the Li family, the Li family had no children and no favor, was cowardly, and attached to the emperor, so the emperor also trusted Zhen Guifei more, Zhen Guifei came from the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and had the second prince Zhao Zhende, who was favored for many years, and most of the palace affairs were in her hands, in addition to the concubine De who had the third prince Zhao Qiqi and the ninth prince Zhao Zhenwei, the concubine An who had the sixth prince Zhao Qijin, the seventh prince Zhao Qiyin's concubine, and the second and third twin princesses of the Shun concubine. Three of the princes died at the age of three or four, and in order to relieve the pain of losing their son, the emperor took Zhao Zhensheng, the fourth prince born to Jiang Zhaoyi, who died early, to Concubine De to raise.
The rest of the princes and concubines were either stupid, or died early, or were weak, or had a low family background, or were rejected by the saints, and they did not come out one by one.
This harem has ten points in the world, five points are in Zhen Guifei, one point is in the queen, three points are shared by four concubines, and the last point is shared by the rest of the people.
On this day, the queen got up early, looked at the vicissitudes of life and aging face in the mirror, and sighed slightly.
At that time, not long after the former queen went, the emperor and the former queen had no remaining love, and had a deep love with Zhen Guifei, worried that the new queen with a high background would rely on her identity to learn her beloved concubine, so she chose her own family background, and she was worried that she would be favored, and if she had children, she would give birth to some bad years for the prince left by her wife.
The grandmother next to her held the warm goat's milk and handed it to the queen, "Niangniang, today is not the day to say goodbye, why don't you sleep more?"
The queen took goat's milk and didn't drink it, "This is old, where can I sleep." ”
"Where is Niangniang, older than ......" Grandma said that she was a few years younger than Zhen Guifei and the fourth concubine, where could she say this.
The girl entered the palace three years after the first queen went, and the actual age was several years younger than the fourth concubine Zhen Guifei who entered the palace with the first queen, but this did not make up, stood with them, born and old, and watched her from the girl who didn't know the taste of the boudoir to the unfavored queen who trembled in the deep palace and didn't dare to take a wrong step, Mama seemed to have phlegm in her throat, unable to speak, the depths of her nose were as sour as ten thousand spikes, and tears poured out of her old dry and filthy eyes, which were even more turbid. Under the strong pressure of the inner touch, the outside comes to humanity
"Qianqing Palace, Li Quan, Li Gonggong, please see Niangniang. ”
The queen was surprised, "Li Quan, Father-in-law, why is he here! Quick, please come in." ”
The queen doesn't like Li Quan, his arrival in the early years means that the emperor has to reprimand himself for the matter of Zhen Guifei or the prince, these years he has kept to himself, and he doesn't even dare to occupy half more of the palace power, plus she has no children, which is better. Li Quan also went to the Qianqing Palace to flatter him a lot in the past, and he only sent someone over when he had something to do here, why did he come here today?
Li Quan entered the inner hall of Kunning Palace, saw that the queen was dressing up, did not dare to look more, and said respectfully,
"Queen Mother, the emperor fell asleep in the morning today, and after being woken up by the slave, he was still staring in a daze, and the slave did not dare to be proficient, so he came to ask the mother to show it. ”
"What!"
The queen stood up suddenly. Although the emperor has never pampered her, but after so many years of husband and wife, the queen knows how much he is the husband who has the best face, when he was young, he had a bit of a hard-working Mingjun atmosphere, and when he was old, he was stubborn and radical, and paid more attention to surface kung fu, she also grasped this point, knowing that the emperor did not dare to leave the reputation of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, and it was much better in the past two years, how could such a person let him fall asleep in front of the ministers?
"Where did the emperor rest yesterday?" The queen knew that the emperor was obsessed with the Yangzhou beauties sent by the governor of Jiangnan today, didn't he lose his sense of proportion there?
"If you know Niangniang, the master rested alone in the Qianqing Palace last night, and he didn't recruit anyone to accompany him. ”
The queen walked back and forth, couldn't think of anything, let people dress up, arrange the phoenix, and go to the Qianqing Palace to take a look, Li Quan was very thoughtful in front of the saddle and behind the horse, the queen went to the chase, and saw Li Quan, who was standing respectfully on the side, a little relieved and a little resentful,
"Why didn't you go to your Concubine Zhen this time?"
Li Quan raised his eyebrows, but did not raise his head,
"Niangniang is the wife of the emperor's media, the queen mother has gone, Niangniang is the emperor's closest person, in the past, the palace rules or something can be arranged by the emperor's temperament, what is the emperor's body, naturally you have to inform Niangniang first. ”
Although the queen was not satisfied, but now the emperor still doesn't know what is going on, and it's not good to offend him early, so just vent your anger.
