Chapter 41
The entanglement with the Qian Mansion came to an end for the time being, but there was still a matter of Concubine Chen's reward to be over, and the prince had to rush to the Qinzheng Palace to wait for the emperor immediately after retiring from the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The summer heat, the heat swept the Wanling Mansion domineeringly, the early morning of the county capital was warm in the rising mist, and the lake of Liqin Garden also had the summer scene of 'the little lotus only showed its sharp corners'.
Time flies in such a hurry, there are always people who are impatient.
Concubine Chen in the early Dynasty more than half of the waiting outside the palace of Qinzheng, black hair with dragon Mu jade jade jade double silk look at the fairy bun, cloisonné moon white dyed goose yellow cardigan large sleeve shirt, the material to spring silk through nineteen procedures to peel off its essence, fine weaving, there are dazzling flowing water patterns under the sun, with eight kinds of yellow flowers crushed goose yellow material according to the pattern of the smudge, it takes more than five months, into this horse, at this time Concubine Chen hired Ting and stands, dressed in red silk, the morning mist surrounds the body, the clothes are brilliant, so wonderful.
The battle in the harem is not easy, Concubine Chen's color is not as good as Jiang Guifei's, her charm is not as good as Concubine Shu's, her talent is not specialized, she is not as accomplished as Concubine Xian in calligraphy and painting, and she is not as popular as Concubine De, and her mother is the weakest of the five concubines.
The reason why she can stand out among the five concubines among the crowd, in addition to having a beautiful face and temperament Xiao seems to be the late Empress Xiao, the most important thing is that she is very good at seizing the opportunity, and she was able to ascend to the concubine position in one fell swoop when the emperor missed Empress Xiao, and then the solid pet used the time and place to the extreme, similar to this in the misty time to climb the higher Qinzheng Palace, to create a fairy picture of the fairy palace, for Concubine Chen.
This morning, the faces of the civil and military officials are different, the emperor can see through the dragon chair, the courtiers who obeyed him back then are now also pregnant with ghosts, and the sense of fatigue spreads all over the body, and he is often in poor spirits recently.
Through the veil of the dragon chariot, I saw the woman in front of the Qinzheng Palace from a distance, like a fairy in the mist, the emperor was a little interested, and the eunuch who carried the sedan chariot increased his pace. It was close, and the eunuch in front of the emperor smiled and said that it was Concubine Chen's mother who was waiting for His Majesty, the emperor's eyes were not very good, and he knew that it was Concubine Chen, and after thinking about it, he knew that he was here to invite a reward, and he suddenly lacked interest.
The concubine had already climbed the stairs step by step, and personally helped the emperor down from the chariot.
"Recently, the weather has been getting hotter, and His Majesty has worked hard to deal with political affairs, so the concubine specially got up early and boiled lotus seeds, lilies, and mung bean soup and sent it." Concubine Chen took the tray with the small cup from the hand of the personal maid, her movements were elegant and gentle, and her smile was shallow, this kind of look was indeed a good way to blindly dry up when she was irritable, and the emperor's impatience was also reduced a little.
"The concubine has a heart, I just summoned the prince today to discuss your reward, you must be tired after standing for a long time when you are pregnant, just go into the palace with me to listen to the prince's thoughts, care for the concubine, and you can also give advice."
Concubine Chen was frightened, and every palace concubine wanted to enter the Qinzheng Palace to prove that she was the saint's favorite, but the ancestors of the previous dynasties had a saying that "the harem must not interfere in politics", so the saint did not say that the palace concubine was not allowed to see the queen mother when dealing with government affairs. Today she just wants to inquire about the reward, and she no longer thinks about entering the Qinzheng Palace after all these years, and she doesn't think that Fu Zedong will come, but she is so lucky.
His feet were so excited that he was about to kneel down to thank him, but he was pulled by the emperor and went to the Qinzheng Palace.
Almost before and after, the emperor and Concubine Chen just entered the palace The prince arrived, and when he saw Concubine Chen in the Qinzheng Palace, the prince was naturally surprised, but he was only a breath of distraction, and the emperor's eyes seemed to have recovered the appearance of respect and humility, "Your Majesty is blessed with Shenggong, and Concubine Chen is blessed." ”
"Xianyun, bright and upright, what a good word. Unconsciously, it has been almost a year since I started to write, and I can't call you anymore in the future, I should call you the word, you grow up, and your father will be old. The emperor sighed with emotion and sighed, in fact, except for the last sentence, the previous words were just to put pressure on the prince.
The prince bowed earnestly and replied calmly: "The son will live up to the meaning of the ancestor's word 'Xianyun'." He didn't answer the words of the saint at all, and it showed that his words were written by Master Xiao, and he was respectful and alienated.
The crown prince who acted like this was the most unhappy opinion of the emperor, not to mention that there was Concubine Chen by his side today, as if he had been refuted, but he couldn't be annoyed, "Now let's talk to me and Concubine Chen about your thoughts." ”
The emperor deliberately embarrassed him, and made an exception to keep Concubine Chen in the Qinzheng Palace, although the prince felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't, so he had to change his rhetoric,
"Erchen heard that the abbot of Fahua Temple had calculated a sign for the rain some time ago, and the signature said, 'Pearl a jade plate, full of auspicious light and strong energy, think that the world is a pair, the dragon jumped out of the crystal palace', at that time the abbot was puzzled and asked how the rain of the sign would involve the royal family, until the Muyang princess was pregnant is the god of heaven to pass on the boiling, the abbot only solved half of the sign, and now the concubine is pregnant and in the middle of the second half of the sign, when the dragon out of the crystal palace to disperse the rainstorm, the royal family added two new lives can also be called a full room of auspicious, good things come in pairs."
Originally, the abbot of Fahua Temple did not have such a signature, the prince lived in Wanling Mansion Yin set up the worship of the seventh begging festival in the Fahua Temple in exchange, the abbot of Fahua Temple lied that there was this sign, mutual benefit and reciprocity, after all, the people in the Buddhism also want firewood, rice, oil and salt to survive, in addition to the Fahua Temple County There are more than ten temples of different sizes and Taoist temples, and the competition is not fierce.
As soon as this sign came out, the crazy Taoist priest who pretended to be King Muyang said that 'the real dragon went down to the mortal experience' can also be explained, Concubine Chen's child and King Muyang's child are put together, and everyone knows at a glance who is the dragon son and who is the pearl, so that it does not hurt the face of King Muyang and Jiang Guifei, but also elevates the son of Concubine Chen, and the prince's arrangement is really beautiful.
Concubine Chen smiled in return and said gently to the prince: "You have Lao Xianyun to pay attention to these. "In fact, Prince Xie did this trick and made a name for her child, so she didn't have to be inferior to Princess Muyang's child.
But Concubine Chen obviously wants more than that, the concubine should be sealed one level if she is pregnant, she is now the last of the five concubines, and she is naturally happy to go up.
The crown prince said earnestly: "The matter of the son's minister. "Drawing a line with Concubine Chen means that everything is arranged by the father.
Then he said slowly: "Concubine Chen's status is not low, but the mother family is a little weaker, and it is inevitable that it will be unbalanced. ”
Fortune is the only feeling that Concubine Chen has now, and today's happy events one after another have made her difficult to be self-conscious, and she is overjoyed, rewarding the family is more practical than rewarding her, but I don't know what the saint thinks.
"Oh? Hyun Yun specifically? "The emperor actually has this intention, and he just wants to see if the prince really wants to be a good person and push up the power of Concubine Chen's mother's family.
The prince said to Concubine Chen: "I heard that Concubine Chen has a brother who has been a doctor in Taixue for many years, and there are countless students under him. ”
After hearing this, the emperor laughed heartily, agreed, and sent the elder brother of Concubine Chen, Hubu Langzhong, to take office on the same day.
Concubine Chen's father's official residence is in the middle of the door, and the new clan is rising, but the foundation is shallow, although such a reward strengthens the overall power of Concubine Chen's mother's family, but in fact, it has not broken the two-legged situation of the Jiang family and the prince, and will not bring change and turmoil to the imperial court.
Concubine Chen kowtowed to thank her, no matter how smart she was, it was difficult for her to understand political affairs, and she felt that she was not lacking, so she gladly accepted it. She has always known how to measure, and she will accept it when she sees it.
All this is what the emperor wants to see, but it is not what the prince is looking forward to. After years of stable development, the power of the imperial court has been intertwined, and although the emergence of a new force at this time is not very beneficial to King Muyang and himself, it can muddy the situation and facilitate his attack on the Jiang family, but the prince knows that it is not in a hurry, and he needs to plan it slowly.
