Chapter 255: Exhortation
When Queen Jingzhuang returned to the palace, it was already dark, and Liu Ying held the lamp to light the way for her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When passing the path in front of the Hundred Gardens, she subconsciously looked towards Zhang Zhaoyi's residence. But I saw that Zhang Zhaoyi's bedroom was brightly lit and the piano sounded melodiously.
Vaguely, Empress Jingzhuang heard the laughter of the emperor and Zhang Zhaoyi.
Empress Jingzhuang looked there fixedly, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
For most of the month, the emperor came to Zhang Zhaoyi every night and left the other harem concubines aside.
More than one person has reported this matter to Empress Jingzhuang.
They said that Zhang Zhaoyi's complexion is getting better day by day, and her bed/school/kung fu is also getting better, so recently there are blushing voices in her dormitory every night.
This soon spread in the palace, and everyone said that the emperor was fascinated by Zhang Zhaoyi.
Yesterday, Zhao Qi, the current head of the imperial dining room and the most important father-in-law in today's school, also came to subtly remind Empress Jingzhuang to beware of Zhang Zhaoyi.
"She should have worked hard to replenish qi, blood and beauty, plus the flesh/body has opened up, and she has also learned a lot of secret skills in men/women/things/things, so it's no wonder that Your Majesty is fascinated by her." Zhao Qidao.
Empress Jingzhuang did not answer, and there was no expression on her face.
She is also aware of Zhang Zhaoyi's recent performance, but now Zhang Zhaoyi is being favored, and she is even more difficult to provoke than before, and she is distracted by King Zhao's upcoming arrival in Beijing, and she doesn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment, so she has to temporarily turn a blind eye to their affairs.
"Queen Mother, the slave knows that you are lenient and benevolent, but human nature likes to inch by inch, if you indulge her too much, I am afraid it will be detrimental to your status, I hope the Queen Mother will take precautions as soon as possible." Zhao Qi sincerely persuaded.
Although Empress Jingzhuang also knew that she had no time to take care of this matter at this time, and she was still disloyal to the emperor, for the sake of the overall situation, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, this palace will persuade Your Majesty." ”
This kind of thing will be easy to handle as long as the emperor can control everything, and as for Zhang Zhaoyi, she really doesn't want to contact her. But of course, if the situation is particularly serious, she will naturally not be polite to Zhang Zhaoyi.
That night, Queen Jingzhuang lay on her back and listened to the sound of insects and wind outside, and there was a faint laughter of the emperor and Zhang Zhaoyi in her ears.
Now, standing in the night, Empress Jingzhuang heard their laughter again, and this laughter seemed to remind her that her situation was no longer what it used to be, and the melancholy in her heart could not be cut like that stream.
Originally, she was going to talk to the emperor about this at noon today, but today is her birthday, she has been entertaining people all morning and afternoon, and in the evening she received a secret letter from King Ling, and then hurriedly went to the East Palace to discuss with the prince, so she has not found the right time to tell the emperor, and now the emperor and Zhang Zhaoyi seem to be getting along like glue, and it is not convenient to disturb, so she plans to see the emperor tomorrow afternoon.
Back at Kunyi Palace, Empress Jingzhuang immediately bathed and changed her clothes, and then went to bed to rest.
However, although she was lying, she did not fall asleep for a long time.
"Today is the queen's birthday, why didn't Your Majesty come to accompany her?" A palace maid waiting outside whispered to another palace maid.
"Yes, His Majesty will definitely come today in previous years." Another palace maid sighed and agreed.
Although the voice was very soft, it reached the ears of Queen Jingzhuang very clearly in this silent night.
Empress Jingzhuang didn't feel very sad, but she also realized that it was time to talk to the emperor.
The next day, after lunch, Empress Jingzhuang went to the Yinghua Palace to find the emperor.
She knew that the emperor would read a book or drink tea after lunch, and then take a lunch break.
This is the best time for her to come in.
When Empress Jingzhuang came in, the emperor was making tea, and when he saw Empress Jingzhuang, he smiled and beckoned her to sit over.
"Yesterday evening, I wanted to accompany you to the Hundred Gardens for a walk, but I learned that you went to the East Palace, so I gave up. There's nothing going on in the East Palace, right? The emperor looked at Empress Jingzhuang with a concerned face and asked.
Empress Jingzhuang knew that he was a pun on what he said, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing, the concubine heard that the crown princess has been sick recently, so she went to take a look." ”
"Oh." The emperor nodded and brought the brewed tea to Queen Jingzhuang.
Empress Jingzhuang saw a few kiss marks on the emperor's fair-skinned wrists, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
The emperor didn't notice this, and still chatted with Queen Jingzhuang with a pleasant face.
Seeing that the emperor's mood was better than before, and his complexion did not deteriorate, Queen Jingzhuang couldn't bear to persuade her, however, since Zhang Zhaoyi had this move, she must have ulterior motives, and she must not be guarded against, and finally Queen Jingzhuang still mustered up the courage to say: "Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Yao Fang" said: 'A person who is twenty years old will be discharged on four days, thirty will be discharged on the eighth day, forty will be discharged on the sixteenth, fifty will be released on the twentieth day, sixty will be closed and will not be discharged, and if the physical strength is strong, it will be discharged in January. 'Your Majesty, you are nearly fifty years old, and for the sake of your health, you should be restrained in your sex/affairs. ”
The emperor was quite unimpressed when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "That being said, it still depends on the person's physique, I feel that my body is still healthy, and there are still needs in that regard, if I am too modest, it will not be good for my health, right?" After that, the emperor glanced at Queen Jingzhuang meaningfully, looking like he wanted to blame Queen Jingzhuang.
Empress Jingzhuang is not suitable for frequent travel due to her weak health, and the emperor is also very considerate of this, so sometimes even if she stays at her place at night, she does not always act in that regard.
This caused the emperor to attack his heart at night, and he was very uncomfortable.
Empress Jingzhuang is also very understanding, so she is also very considerate of his actions of often going to other concubines.
But there must be a degree to everything, and once it goes too far, something will happen.
As a country, she can not ask about the affairs of the court, but as long as it involves the affairs of the harem, she must not ignore it, now Zhang Zhaoyi's actions have caused a lot of criticism, and it is indeed time to remind the emperor, so Queen Jingzhuang smiled after listening to the emperor's words: "Then Your Majesty, it should be to calm the dissatisfaction of the concubines in the harem, and please go to Zhang Zhaoyi every few days occasionally." The concubine can understand you, but after all, other people may not be able to understand, and the rumors have been passed on for a long time, which is not good for everyone. ”
The emperor raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup, and said, "Okay." He added: "Queen, in fact, there is no need to talk about such a trivial personal matter, why don't you know the general situation like those little girls recently?" ”
The tone was rather reproachful.
