"When it comes to the election of female officials in this dynasty, it is unprecedented, for thousands of years, all dynasties, how can there ever be a woman as an official? I think you must want to know its origin, and this has to start from the time when the founding emperor of this dynasty, Taizu, fought the country......."

The storyteller in the teahouse was impassioned, and the audience couldn't stop clapping their hands, but the man in the fancy dress in the elegant seat on the second floor seemed absent-minded, knocking on the table from time to time, frowning, as if thoughtful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, a man dressed as a servant walked quickly, and whispered a few words in the man's ear. The man listened quietly, a moment of anger flashed on his face, and then he said lightly: "It's reasonable." Then he brushed his sleeves and left his seat.

When he walked to the door, Chen Feng's voice faintly sounded in his ears: "Evolved to the present, occasionally there will be some examples of women being included in the palace by the emperor, but unfortunately because of their low status, they can't become climate ...... after all."

The maid sent by the emperor to serve was sent by Wei Xiyan at the door. She stood in the house, quietly looking at the luxurious furnishings of this room, and the emperor's words seemed to still echo in her ears, "Jiangnan Zhang's family, smart and agile, dignified and wise, respectful and cautious, sensitive and intelligent, and courteous." Immediately canonized as the Nine-Rank Imperial Maiden ......"

There was a bitterness in my heart, the royal maid belonged to the royal level of the concubine, and she was directly included in the harem concubines. Over the years, few female officials have been favored by the emperor to become concubines, but I didn't expect ...... After thinking about it, Wei Xiyan's body began to tremble uncontrollably...... Presumably Chen Feng knew it now, would he be surprised? Probably not, I've known each other for many years, and nothing has surprised him.

But in any case, the goal of approaching the emperor has been achieved.....

"Niangniang, Pinghui Sizan, who is in charge of teaching and guidance from the Shangyi Bureau, is here." The maid knocked on the door, Wei Xiyan retracted her thoughts, hurriedly got up, and opened the door to greet her.

"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang."

A slightly sharp voice accompanied a fat woman, in her thirties, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her appearance was shrewd, which made people not feel good.

Wei Xiyan responded with a peaceful voice, and then said politely: "The little girl is ignorant when she first comes to the palace, and she will have to ask Si Zan to mention more things in the future." ”

"Where is it" she said while looking Wei Xiyan up and down, "Imperial Girl Zhang looks so standard, and her figure is good, there are really few as female officials, I want to be loved by the emperor in the future, and I still have to rely on Niangniang more in the palace in the future." ”

Wei Xiyan led Si Zan into the room and sat down, she still knew a little about the world. It's just that in a hurry under this holy decree, he directly detained himself in the palace, and there was nothing to prepare around...... After thinking about it, Wei Xiyan took off the jade bracelet on his wrist, handed it to Si Zan, and said with a smile, "There are many rules in this palace, and if you want to be loved by the emperor, you don't have to rely on Si Zan's teachings." ”

Pinghui took it without a trace, secretly spread out her hand, glanced at it twice, and then smiled. Turning his head to the maid standing at the door, he said, "Birou, a cheap hoof with no eyesight, have you taken the use of this Changle Palace or something?" Let's see if there's anything missing! ”

The maid named Birou looked soft and weak, and seemed to be very afraid of this aunt, so she hurriedly answered the door and ran away.

After hearing Birou's footsteps carefully, Pinghui turned her face to Wei Xiyan, sat upright, and asked Wei Xiyan seriously: "Niangniang, when you came, you knew something about this harem." ”

Wei Xiyan thought about it sideways: "I have heard a little about Empress Rensu, and I don't know much about the rest." ”

Pinghui Sizan nodded, and said in a mysterious voice: "The royal maid has just come to the palace, and she is the daughter of a commoner, so she may not know much about the form in this palace. In addition to Empress Rensu in this harem, the emperor now counts the concubines, concubine However, most of them are the emperor's freshness, and then they have never been pampered by the concubines, so it is useless to say it. It is only worth mentioning that Mrs. Yang, the niece of the concubine, has been entangled tightly with the emperor since she called, and she is deeply favored. But as jealous as her aunt ......."

She paused, a little apprehensive, "Speaking of this aunt and nephew, I have to mention the previous incident." There is a good lady, when she first came to the palace, the emperor often called her. It's strange to say, once during the tea ceremony, she somehow spilled the water cup on the lady, and the lady immediately ordered someone to beat fifty boards, and after beating the person, he was half dead..... this is not the end, the concubine knew about it, and ordered someone to sprinkle the chili water on the wound where this Liangyuan was beaten, and she didn't hold it that night, and passed ......."

Wei Xiyan's eyes widened, incredulous, "Then what did the emperor say afterwards?" ”

Ping Hui smiled miserably and replied: "This is what the slave wants to tell you next, the brother of the concubine was meritorious in suppressing the Southwest Uprising eight years ago, and was awarded the title of General of the Zhenguo, and then he guarded the frontier with the queen's father, the auxiliary general, in recent years, the northern barbarians often come to invade, and the country is the time to use people, and the emperor dares to do anything to the concubine?" ”

Wei Xiyan was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the Southwest Uprising eight years ago?" ”

"This ...... The slave didn't know either...... "Pinghui's face was not very good-looking, obviously she knew something but didn't dare to say it, and she didn't have a reason for a long time. Turning to the conversation, she seemed to realize something, looked vigilant, and asked rhetorically: "Why is Niangniang so interested in this matter?" ”

Wei Xi's face was indifferent, and he said without a trace: "I was still young at that time, and I didn't have much impression, so I was a little curious...... By the way, may I ask Si Zan, how is the emperor's heir? ”

Ping Hui didn't think about it in detail, and followed Xiyan's words and said: "The emperor has a total of nine sons before and after, except for a few who died young, and now the three kings of the queen are the three kings of the queen, the four kings of the concubine, the seven kings of the concubine and the nine kings of the virtuous concubine. ”

"So ......" Wei Xiyan nodded, when he was in the palace before, he was not unaware of the dynamics in the palace. The queen and the concubine fought against each other, and the military power from ancient times won the world, and the emperor was also afraid of the power of the two families, so it is no wonder that he has not heard the news of the founding of the country for a long time.....

"Niangniang, what are you thinking?" In her contemplation, she heard the voice of Ping Hui Sizan.

"Oh," Wei Xiyan came back to his senses, a little restlessness lingered in his chest, and replied, "I'm thinking, I'm afraid I have to be careful in everything I do in the future." ”

Pinghui Sizan smiled coldly, and said with some tacitness: "Although Niangniang does not have a prominent mother's family, as long as she catches the emperor's favor, she will have a worry-free future......"

Wei Xiyan was speechless for a while.

There was a burst of footsteps outside the door, followed by Birou's voice, "Niangniang, dinner is ready." ”

Pinghui Sizan turned to get up and said with a smile: "The royal maid is a celestial person, and she has such a beautiful face and moon appearance, she will definitely get the emperor's favor in the future, and now it is not early, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

Wei Xiyan also got up and said a few polite words before Ping Hui left Changle Palace.

"Lord Qiyu," the man in the night suit knelt on the ground, Chen Feng turned his back to the man, and looked out the window expressionlessly.

"Say."

"As His Highness expected, the emperor really sent someone to Zhang's house to investigate."

"Is everything in the Zhang family?"

"It's all been said. Just ......"

"How?" Chen Feng didn't look back, his voice was still cold.

The man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's just that we also saw the queen and the people of the Seven Kings there......"

Chen Feng turned around, walked in front of the desk, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "It's not strange...... Find a few more people to lurk in Zhang's house, and report any suspicious situations to me as soon as possible. Also, send a reliable person to approach Wei Xiyan, but don't let her know. ”

"Yes!"

The man withdrew, and the room fell silent......

The candle flame kept flickering, Chen Feng picked up the brush, and a moment of tenderness flashed in his eyes......

"Xiyan ......" he said softly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, but then he became cold again, and pinched off the wolf hair in his hand.

Even if you make people worse, if you take this path, don't look back.

I will pay back what I owe you and your family.

Someday......
