(27) Concubine Li De

After Li Cheng comforted Yan Chao, he hurried into the palace to report the matter to the Empress Dowager Wanyan, who heard that her nephew was coming, and hurriedly called someone to invite her into the palace, and went to inform Emperor Murong Liuzun and ordered him to come to meet.

Dayong's emperor Murong Liuzun, twenty-four years old this year, was originally the ninth son of the emperor, his biological mother was an unfavored talent, and died of illness when Murong Liuzun was seven years old.

Back then, the Queen Mother deliberately chose an adopted son, and among the many princes, it was no accident that he was able to enter the eyes of the Queen Mother and become the crown prince.

Although he is low-key and has a very low sense of presence among the emperor's many heirs, he is a beautiful man with an extremely outstanding appearance, which makes people see him at a glance among many excellent princes and attract the attention of others.

Empress Dowager Wanyan also began to pay attention to him precisely because of his upside-down appearance of all beings, and then, through her careful observation and investigation, it was found that he was not as mediocre and unambitious as he appeared, in fact, he was calm and wise, wise as foolish, and the reason why he made the illusion of mediocrity and inaction was to avoid being noticed by other powerful princes, arousing their jealousy and suspicion, so as to protect himself.

After perceiving this, Empress Dowager Murong did not hesitate to choose him as her adopted son, focusing on training, in order to consolidate his position and help him ascend to the crown prince, she also hired Princess Roujia of Qingluo Kingdom as his wife.

Princess Roujia is the righteous sister of the emperor of Qingluo Kingdom, her surname is Situ, and she is the daughter of Situ Qi, a merchant of the Great Jin Dynasty who once adopted Yan Jingchen, because Wanyan Jingchen was adopted and taken care of by Situ Qi when she was young, and has always been grateful to him.

Situ Xiuniang, no, now is Princess Roujia, she is an old daughter who was only obtained when Situ Qi was fifty years old, Wanyan Jingchen remembered his father's kindness, and loved this sister who was twenty years younger than him very much, Queen Wu gave birth to five sons in a row but did not give birth to a daughter, so she also spoiled her as her own daughter, making her Qingluo country in the limelight, that is, the princesses of other countries are inferior to her compared to her.

When she reached the age of bargaining, Wanyan Jingchen originally wanted to leave her in Qingluo Country to recruit a gentle and reasonable young man, but it happened that Dayong's wife later wrote that she would propose to her for her adopted son. Wanyan Jingchen originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard about it, she secretly went to see Dayong's envoy and said that she was willing to marry Dayong.

Seeing her like this, Wanyan Jingchen was immediately disappointed in her, and had no choice but to marry her according to her wishes......

After marrying Dayong, she first became the crown princess of Murong Liuzun, and after Murong Liuzun ascended the throne, she was named the queen and the mother of the world.

Murong Liuzun has always respected her, and the couple has never had a disagreement, because he knows that if it weren't for her strong background, his father would not have made up his mind to make himself the crown prince, and he would not have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly.

However, although he is grateful to her, he is not like the emperor of Qingluo Kingdom, he only married Empress Wu in his life, his harem is very lively, in addition to Queen Wanyan, there are two concubines, one is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Li Cheng, the biological daughter of the eldest princess of Gaoyang, Concubine Li De, the other is the sister of Shangguan Xiuzhe, the commander of Jinyiwei, Shangguan Xianfei, and several Zhaoyi and talented people with low ranks.

Treat his concubines, he has always been like a gentleman, very fond of them, but if anyone dares to do anything vicious and disobedient, he will never tolerate it, the day before he also loved the concubine, you and I are nong, the next day he turned his face and did not recognize people, the cold palace of the cold palace, the death of the death, not pity the jade at all.

When many concubines first came into contact with this handsome and personable emperor, they thought that he was the same as his appearance, a gentle and affectionate man, but in the end, they gradually discovered that he was actually the most ruthless and unrighteous, and he turned his face and did not recognize people.

However, despite this, because of his too handsome appearance, coupled with his powerful momentum of controlling the life and death of countless people, the women of the harem are deeply fascinated by him, even if they know that he is unkind and unworthy of their life and death, they are still like moths to a fire, desperately falling in love with him, and indulging in their own fictitious love network, deep into it......

……

When Murong Liuzun learned that the crown prince and the crown princess of Qingluo Kingdom were coming, he immediately sent a banquet to the Yaoguang Palace, and asked Empress Wanyan, Concubine Li De, and Concubine Shangguan Xian to attend the most accompanying ceremony.

In fact, Wan Yanchao didn't want to alarm his grandmother and the emperor of Dayong, he originally wanted to take Mingzhu to have fun in various scenic spots in Dayong for a few days, and then go back to Qingluo Kingdom, but since he had already alarmed people, it would be too rude not to visit him, so he reluctantly followed the eunuch into the palace to meet his grandmother, who had never met.

After meeting, the Empress Dowager Wanyan took Wanyan Chao's hand and kissed her, and said in a stack, after saying that Yan Chao and her brother were seven or eight points similar, and wiped her tears while talking, lamenting that she had not returned to Qingluo Country for more than 40 years, and now that she is old, she doesn't know if she can go back once in her lifetime.

Wan Yanchao is not good at comforting people, seeing the old queen mother crying and wiping her tears, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, but fortunately, Mingzhu was sweet and sweet, and comforted her softly for a long time, and the old queen mother was better.

After holding back her tears, the Queen Mother took Mingzhu's hand and praised again and again: "Chao'er is really a blessing, this palace has lived for sixty years, and I have never seen such a peugeot girl, and now I am a long insight!" ”

She is not an exaggeration, looking at Dayong, there is indeed no woman who can be compared with Mingzhu in appearance, the Queen Mother has rich experience in her life and has seen countless beauties, but when she saw Mingzhu, she was still amazed, compared with Mingzhu, the beauties she knew were only the color of fat powder.

When the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace saw Mingzhu's face at first sight, they were also stunned, they couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful woman in this world, dozens of times more beautiful than the best-looking Concubine De Niangniang in the palace, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that a woman could be beautiful like this.

In the evening, the Queen Mother took Wan Yan Chao and Mingzhu to the Yaoguang Palace to go to the banquet, it is said that this banquet is a family banquet specially set up by the emperor for Wan Yan Chao, only the emperor and several concubines of the harem participated, and there were no outsiders in addition.

After hearing about Yan Chao, he was relieved a lot, he was very possessive, he didn't like his wife to meet with other men, every day when they went out, he always took the trouble to help Mingzhu with a hood, and always watched to see if there was a disciple peeping at his wife, once he found that someone coveted his wife, he ignored the identity of the prince, rushed over to fight with people like a stunned boy, all kinds of childish behavior, so that Mingzhu was speechless......

Eating with others means that you can no longer wear a hat and curtains, which will let others get a glimpse of her beautiful face, which makes Wan Yanchao feel very unhappy, fortunately, there is only one man in the emperor of Dayong, if there are many courtiers to accompany him, he really has to hesitate to participate in this banquet!

Entering the Yaoguang Palace, the pearl suddenly seems to be the most brilliant treasure, attracting everyone's attention, the Yaoguang Palace is the most luxurious palace in the palace, but under the beauty of the pearl, the golden and brilliant Yaoguang Palace suddenly looks overshadowed, plain.

Everyone was shocked by Mingzhu's beauty, and the faces of those concubines also showed a look of jealousy, especially Concubine Li De, who was known as the first beauty in Dayong, and was so jealous that she killed her.

In the contrast of Mingzhu, her beauty is really not beautiful, it is just passable.

Even Dayong's emperor Murong Liuzun was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that there would be such a beauty in this world, but he quickly returned to normal, turned his gaze back, and moved to the crown prince of Qingluo Kingdom.

The crown prince of Qingluo Kingdom is still very young, with a majestic and heroic appearance, and this peerless pearl princess is a good match, one is the future monarch of Qingluo Kingdom, and the other is the noble princess of the Great Jin Kingdom, it is really a pair of beautiful people, a pair of golden boys and girls.

After taking his seat, Murong Liuzun raised his glass and welcomed the presence of the two distinguished guests, and the two sides began to talk.

While speaking, Mingzhu asked the Empress Dowager Wanyan about Dayongke's miracle doctor who treats internal injuries and bone grafting, and the Empress Dowager Wanyan said: "What does a good doctor do?" But where are you hurt? ”

Mingzhu said: "It's not us, but a Dayong woman we met today." As he spoke, he told me everything about today.

When the queen mother heard this, she said unhappily: "This Gao Yang is really excessive, relying on the fact that she is the sister of the first emperor, she is doing everything, and now she is abusing unarmed concubines on the street, so that the people of the capital can see it, what will they think of our royal family?" ”

When Concubine Li De heard that her mother was criticized by the Queen Mother, she hurriedly got up and said: "Queen Mother, the parents of the concubine did not handle this matter properly, but the concubine of the family did not keep her duty and committed adultery with her subordinates, if she is not severely punished, how will my father's face be saved?" ”

As soon as Mingzhu heard it, she knew that she was the daughter of the murderous Gaoyang Eldest Princess and Li Juma, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Li, her parents were vicious, and they expected that their daughter would not be much better, so their eyes became sharp when they looked at her.

She said: "This lady, how many concubines in the world dare to do things that violate women's morality behind the back of the head of the family? If it was really that woman's misconduct, she had already done that thing when she was young, so why wait until middle age and to do this? As far as I can see, there must have been another reason for this, most likely the result of jealousy in the inner house, and the poor woman must have been persecuted here because of jealousy. ”

Not long after Concubine Li De entered the palace, relying on her noble birth, no one paid attention to her, and when she saw that a foreign princess dared to speak ill of her parents and make irresponsible remarks, she replied-for-tat: "It's just a cheap maid, what can you do if you wronged her?" As a member of the royal family, didn't the crown princess punish a few slaves and maids? It's just a small thing, so why make a big fuss? ”

"A trifle? Human life is at stake, but in the eyes of the mother, it is a trivial matter? ”

Hearing her say that human life is so light, Mingzhu was angry: "The ant is still a life, not to mention a living person, in our Great Jin, the Son of Heaven broke the law, and he wanted to be guilty of the same crime as the common people, the eldest princess of Chaoqing of this dynasty, because of her jealousy and abuse of the concubine who had killed the concubine, was demoted to slavery by my mother's decree, and sent to Lingbei to do hard labor, my mother did this, just to cure these nobles who thought they were noble, so that they could also taste the taste of being slaves and maids." If this eldest princess of Gaoyang and Li Juma were our people from the Great Jin, they would have been punished by this time, how could they be allowed to be so arrogant? ”

Concubine Li Defei sneered: "The princess is saying that the laws of our Dayong Kingdom are not strict, and our Majesty's governance is not as strict as that of your emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?" She cleverly raised the grievances between them to the level of the two emperors' ability to govern the country, and wanted to use this to suppress the arrogance of this pearl.

As soon as she heard her say this, she smiled and replied: "Dayong is rich and powerful, the people are rich, and the national strength is on par with Dajin, which shows that Your Majesty is a wise and wise benevolent monarch who governs the country well, but Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, but some people are lawless and ignore the law." ”

She said who was "lawless and disregarding the law and discipline", Concubine Li De naturally knew, her apricot eyes were round, her face was red, and she was just about to continue arguing, when she heard Murong Liuzun, who was sitting at the top, say unhurriedly: "The princess's words are reasonable, I can save it, and I will definitely investigate this matter strictly." ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Your Majesty is wise, and the blessing of the people of Dayong is also." ”

Murong Liuzun is just talking, I want to ease the quarrel between Mingzhu and Concubine Luo, but I know that after Concubine Li De was choked by Mingzhu, she has always been unwilling, after three rounds of drinking, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she suddenly had a plan, got up and smiled: "Your Majesty, the wine is boring, since the prince of Qingluo is the nephew and nephew of the Queen Mother, and we can be regarded as a family, there is no need to take precautions, the concubine thinks that it is better for everyone to play a harmless game, one to help entertain, and the other to enhance everyone's affection." ”

Murong Liuzun glanced at her lazily and said with a smile: "What is the best plan for the concubine?" ”

Concubine Li Defei said: "The concubine wants to write down the eighteen classes of skills such as women's singing, dancing, playing and singing, etc., and put them in a bottle, and then write down the names of all the sisters and the princess of Qingluo, and put them in another bottle, and His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qingluo will each catch a lot, and the person who catches it will perform for everyone according to the skills written on the other lot, and those who can't perform will be punished with three cups, anyway, they are all their own people, it's a big deal to get drunk and go back to sleep, and no one laughs at us." ”

When she was a child, the eldest princess of Gaoyang in order to let her enter the palace in the future to be favored, Baba invited several masters of playing and singing to teach her skills, and she is also talented, a learner, a few years, not only to sing and dance to learn superb skills, playing the piano and playing chess have also obtained deep attainments.

With these skills and illustrious family background, she has been very favored since she entered the palace, the emperor lives in the harem for about half a month or so, and she has to live for seven or eight days alone, she alone shares half of the emperor's favor, how can other concubines swallow this breath?

No, the gun shot the first bird, and her such a high-profile swagger naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other concubines,

As soon as Concubine Li's words fell, Concubine Shangguan Xian said with a smile: "Who in the palace doesn't know that Concubine De's sister has been studying singing, dancing and singing since she was a child, and her skills are outstanding. ”

Empress Wanyan also said: "Your Majesty, let's have another way of entertainment, the concubines and other concubines have strict family rules, and there are no people like kabuki in the family, and they have never learned skills such as singing, dancing, playing and singing, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." ”

The latter two concubines seem to be modest, but in fact, they are not easy to get along.

Concubine Shangguan Xian said that Concubine Li Defei had been learning skills such as singing, dancing, playing and singing since she was a child, which sounded like praising her for her talent and mastery, but in fact she was mocking her for learning these skills since she was a child in order to enter the palace and keep them to confuse the emperor; And Queen Wanyan's words are even more ruthless, it is simply killing people invisibly, she said that her family rules are strict, and she has never learned skills such as singing, dancing, playing and singing, etc., and she regards these skills of Concubine Li De as something indiscriminate, in large households, the daughters only need to learn the female red needle chisel, poetry and book etiquette, and the skills such as blowing, playing, playing and singing are originally things learned by the likes of dancing girls, and serious young ladies should not learn these!

After Mingzhu sensed the undercurrent surging among the concubines, she couldn't help but look at Murong Liuzun, wondering which side he would be heading.

How do you know that His Majesty the Emperor turned his eyes handsomely, looked at Wan Yan Chao and said, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think of this idea?" ”

After Yan Chao didn't bother with his family affairs, he kicked Murong Liuzun's ball back and said: "The guest is as the host, Your Majesty is the master, and the Chao couple are guests, just listen to Your Majesty's orders." ”

Murong Liuzun laughed twice, and then kicked the ball to the Empress Dowager Wanyan: "The queen mother is the biggest here, let's ask the queen mother to call the shots!" ”

The Empress Dowager Wanyan is very protective, she has always looked down on Concubine Li De's arrogant appearance, especially in recent days, she has relied on her family background and grace to provoke the majesty of the queen intentionally or unintentionally, which made the queen mother even more disgusted with her, and she wanted to clean her up for a long time.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor spoke, the queen mother put on a straight face and reprimanded: "Singing, dancing and singing are the ninth-rate skills that opera singers learn to please men, not to mention our royal women, even serious women from small families will not be involved, Concubine De will not mention those skills in the future, it is not a joke." ”

After a few words, Concubine De was so embarrassed that she almost found a crack in the ground to get into, she was ashamed and ashamed, stood up tremblingly, blessed, and said: "Yes, thank you for the teachings of the queen mother!" Before he could finish speaking, tears began to fall.

The Queen Mother didn't even look at her, and said to Mingzhu: "Child, don't laugh, they all say that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and they are concubines selected from the family. ”

Mingzhu said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is wise, thanks to the Queen Mother sitting in the harem, I expect that those concubines who have unhealthy qi will definitely change their ways under your indoctrination." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, although they did not name names, but everyone knew who they were talking about, Concubine Li Defei was angry by the Empress Dowager Wanyan and Mingzhu, and after the banquet, she returned to her palace and smashed several pieces of porcelain from the official kiln in a row.

The tortoiseshell, the personal palace maid, saw her losing her temper, for fear of implicating herself, so she stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't be angry, be careful of your body!" ”

Concubine Li Defei said hatefully: "How can you not be angry when you call this palace? This palace is the niece of the first emperor, the daughter of the eldest princess of Gaoyang, the granddaughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, what is Queen Wanyan, an old daughter of a cheap businessman, and a concubine, if it weren't for her father who adopted the emperor of Qingluo Kingdom, she still doesn't know which shop she plans to plate in now, and she actually dares to compare her family background in this palace, and dares to climb to the head of this palace to show off her might, saying that the family rules are strict, and she disdains to learn singing, dancing and singing. Phew! It is obvious that she is jealous that the palace can sing and dance and get the grace of the saints, and she can't eat the grapes to say that the grapes are sour. ”

The tortoiseshell looked around cautiously and lowered her voice: "Niangniang is angry, don't dare to say these words again, if it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will be angry." ”

"The Queen Mother?"

At the mention of the Queen Mother, Concubine Li De's teeth were straight, that old immortal thing, not to mention that she was always stumbling over the throne by using the cheap woman of Queen Wanyan, not to mention, she always stumbled on her.

The hateful old woman, Your Majesty just respects her mother for the sake of being supported by her, and gives her some face, she really regards herself as the emperor's biological mother, and dares to test herself in public, and does not look at her identity and background.

Anyway, since she refuses to give herself convenience in the palace, she doesn't mind trying to separate the relationship between her and the emperor, their Li family is prosperous, and their power in the court and the harem should not be underestimated, and it is not difficult to break up the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother!

After making up her mind, Concubine Li De's mood was much better, she got up and re-averaged her face, took a grate and brushed her hair, and ordered the palace maid Pearl to go to Yaoguang Hall to see if His Majesty had finished drinking the wine with the prince of Qingluo Kingdom! If she finishes drinking, she will invite Her Majesty to her Showa Palace, saying that she has something important to discuss with Her Majesty.
