Chapter 33: The Queen
The Great Seal Palace is also called Zhengyang Palace, the whole is like a rectangle, backed by Aung Mountain, there is a moat in front of it, it flows around the city, it is divided into east and west sides, and there are several palaces on the left and right.
The Qifeng Palace, where the queen lives, is not far behind the Imperial Palace where the Great Yin Emperor Jiang Zhaoqian lived, and it is also the most central location in the Zhengyang Palace.
The queen who now lives in Qifeng Palace is surnamed Zhuang, and she is the second daughter of Zhuang Guogong, but she is not the queen of Emperor Jiang Zhaoqian, but the successor, who rose from the position of concubine to straighten.
Jiang Zhaoqian's surname was Lu, in the autumn of the second year of the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty, due to dystocia, only 20 years old, the prince who tried his best to give birth to was not saved, and left with his mother the next day.
That was Jiang Zhaoqian's first son, and he was still a son-in-law, and his wife was a young couple who were in the same trouble with him when he was in the palace, and their relationship was unusual.
Losing his wife and child, Jiang Zhaoqian was deeply hit, and the instability of his first ascension to the throne, internal and external troubles, and the pressure was extremely great, and he couldn't slow down for a while.
Now that Queen Zhuang, who is sitting on the throne of the queen, can become the queen, there is more or less the reason why Princess Xiao Hua supports her, at that time, Jiang Zhaoqian's harem concubine position was not satisfied, only the concubine and the concubine.
The concubine is now Queen Zhuang, the concubine's surname is Lin, born in the Lin Jihou Mansion, speaking of which, this Concubine Lin Shufei also has a little blood relationship with the eldest princess Xiao Hua and Jiang Zhaoqian, and can be called cousins - Lin Shufei's mother and Empress Xiaoxian after Sejong Yuan, that is, the eldest princess Xiao Hua and Jiang Zhaoqian's mother are sisters.
It stands to reason that the eldest princess Xiao Hua should have helped her, cousin Lin, at that time, Mrs. Lin Jihou was still alive, that is, their own aunt, and she had also entered the palace to find the eldest princess Xiao Hua, but the eldest princess Xiao Hua unexpectedly supported Concubine Zhuang Guifei.
Outsiders don't know why this is the reason, but some people say that it was the Duke of Zhuang Guo who favored him and gave Princess Xiao Hua a carload of male pets to get the queen's throne.
Changle later asked her mother, her mother smiled and leaned back, and it took a while to correct her attitude, and her eyes said clearly: "This palace is first of all the eldest princess Xiao Hua of the Great Yin Kingdom, and then it is the niece who is related to the Lin family, and the villain doesn't need to splash that dirty water on the palace, the palace doesn't care, the palace is here, even if it is chosen for the palace again, the palace will still choose Zhuang Guifei, not for anything else, after your grandfather's coup d'Γ©tat in his later years, the court was shaken, the situation was unstable, your uncle first ascended to the throne, and he couldn't fully control the government. At that time, Zhuang Guogong was ranked on the right, the pillar of the country, Zhuang Guifei's brother was in the prime of life, supporting the household, cleaning up how many bad debts and bad debts, and raising more than one million taels of silver for your uncle in a year, and what about Lin Jihou's Mansion? A group of mud that can't support the wall is waiting to sit and enjoy the glory, but I don't know how hard it is to guard this country. β
"Personally, Concubine Lin Shufei is not as good as Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang's poems and books are heirlooms, dignified and strategic, sitting in the harem will be able to stabilize the harem, and not cause trouble to your uncle, Concubine Lin? In her life, at most, she is suitable for a concubine, and it depends on her aunt's face. β
Changle really admires her mother, in the past 20 years, the development of the former harem has really come down according to what her mother said.
Her uncle's harem is under the governance of Queen Zhuang, except for the lack of heirs, it is indeed stable and has few troubles, but only the heirs are not abundant, which is already a headache. Queen Zhuang has been criticized a lot because of this, and there have been a lot of gossip.
Don't look at her mother, Princess Xiao Hua's private life is a bit chaotic, but when it comes to national affairs and her brother's throne, she is absolutely fair and decisive, she doesn't think that her brother's lack of heirs is related to Queen Zhuang, she has been secretly supporting Queen Zhuang all these years.
After all, in the past 20 years, there have been very few concubines in the harem, even Queen Zhuang herself, isn't there no one pregnant? She is a queen and has no son, she is not more anxious than anyone else? Also, the Empress Yuan of that year didn't marry Jiang Zhaoqian for five years, and only had a son, but he didn't keep it, and he also got in?
On the other hand, the two or three who are pregnant, as long as they are pregnant, they will focus on protection, but unfortunately they are not like that when they are born.
In the final analysis, she has to find the reason for this in her brother, but she also doesn't support her brother always taking pills, and he can't hide the doctor when he is sick, so what is the use of always believing in the nonsense of the Taoist priest.
It's a pity that in the previous life, the eldest princess Xiao Hua took a nap, although she mentioned it a few times, she didn't take it to heart, she couldn't imagine that the Taoist pill could have such a big side effect......
Reborn in the first life, in addition to Li Rongxiang, Changle first put in his heart that her uncle began to superstitious Taoist priests, eat red and green pills, and inherit the heirs in a few years.
In the previous life, she entered the palace every month to ask for peace, and she was also a regular person, although she was familiar with her queen's aunt, but she was not familiar with it, but she believed in her mother's vision, since her mother said that her queen's aunt was upright and strategic, then she would definitely have a look.
When Manager Liu led Changle to the main hall of Qifeng Palace, Manager Liu's 'good' was really 'not good'.
Standing outside the hall, Changle could clearly hear the voice coming from inside, it was her queen aunt who was reprimanding, and it was estimated which concubine in the palace had provoked her.
Manager Liu also heard the voice inside, his face flushed, and he said to Changle with some embarrassment: "The princess went to the side hall with the old slave to rest for a while?" A few days ago, Yusu presented this year's newly harvested Longjing, and the old slave made a pot for the princess, which deserved to be a princess. β
"Okay," Changle smiled and nodded, "Then it's troublesome for Manager Liu, I also want to order the crisp cheese made by the chef in my aunt's palace, I came to eat a bite last time, it was really delicious." β
Manager Liu's eyes were smiling, "As long as the princess likes it, the old slave tells her to do it, make more, and if she can't eat it, she will put it on the princess." β
"When Mr. Liu said this, I took advantage of my aunt again!"
Changle smiled mischievously, and Manager Liu hurriedly made fun, "The queen is looking forward to the princess taking advantage of her more!" β
After talking and laughing like this, Mr. Liu sent Changle into the side hall to rest, and he went to give Changle Zhang Luo some refreshments himself.
Changle sat on the Xiangfei couch placed in the window of the side hall, guessing what was going on in the main hall.
As an unmarried princess, it was really difficult for her to go in at this stall and listen to how her queen's aunt trained her concubines, and she really wanted to know what was going on in the palace, so that her aunt, who was usually very 'dignified', could roar so loudly that she could hear the sound outside the palace.
At this time, Changle deeply felt that there was no sense of dark grievance, she didn't say that there should be darkness everywhere in the palace, but as a princess, she was at least ...... There should also be one or two to be reasonable, and you can't be blind or deaf about things in the palace.
She is such an idiot, in the previous life and a few years in this life, she has been stupid for so many years, no wonder her uncle collapses, and people can beat her to never turn over.
Just when she was thinking about how to use common means in the future to win most of the news of the harem, Manager Liu came in with two palace maids, holding a delicate palace-made frozen banana carved tea set and a plate of oily white crisp cheese on the same dinner plate.
Changle drank the fresh tea Longjing, ate the sweet and delicious cheese, and talked to Mr. Liu.
Although she has a very beautiful face, she is better than when she is young, it is when she is more pure and less feminine, and her eyebrows have been exposed, but she is still innocent and pure.
"Manager Liu, I have been to the queen's aunt many times, and I have never seen the queen's aunt so angry, who is so rude, provoking her?" She just stuffed a piece of crisp cheese into her mouth, and ate it with white scum on the corners of her mouth, but she didn't feel dirty, but looked very cute.
"Hey, it's not Concubine Ying, the eldest prince had a high fever last night, and she actually told the queen mother when she asked for peace this morning,"
Don't look at the time of the incident in the hall, Manager Liu was not there, but he only went out this circle just now, but he was already roughly clear about what was happening in the hall.
Looking at other people's methods, Changle suddenly felt a trace of admiration in his heart, and his eyes lit up a little when he saw Manager Liu.
Seeing that Manager Liu subconsciously took a small step back, he didn't speak just now, why did this princess of the sun suddenly turn a little green......
He didn't know that this was Changle's thirst for high-tech talents, and he had been officially listed as one of Changle's key buy-and-win in the future.
"The eldest prince is sick again? How can this be delayed, and it is also a shame that Concubine Ying is a mother-in-law, but she doesn't know that the hearts of her uncle and aunt are better now? β
Seeing that she was a high-quality talent in the future, she was already a little frightened, Changle quickly restrained herself and continued to care about the matter in the hall.
For the current Great Seal Harem, there is nothing more important than the only two princes in the palace.
This eldest prince is five years old this year, and his biological mother is a concubine who was raised because of him, before that, he was not even a treasure, and his background was quite humble, but who asked someone to give birth to the only dragon species in the palace at that time, it was really a rising tide, and there was no other person in the limelight for a while, and even the queen had to let her have a point.
The eldest prince, Changle still remembers, whether it is in the past life or the present life, he can see him once or twice every year. Every time he was so weak that he was angry, Changle hid far away and didn't dare to approach.
Even if the Great Yin Emperor used all his manpower and material resources, almost mobilized the power of the country, and asked for his life to be extended, in the previous life, this child did not live past the age of ten.
It was also from that time that her uncle, who was originally clear-minded, became more and more confused to the point that no one listened, and he didn't toss for a few years, but he also went.
