Concubines
"I also said that it was speculation, but what happened in Xijun, although I have personally experienced it, I can only guess and think, since Brother Shi can have a strange technique, explore it, it is also for the safety of the moon, and it is not to raid the family and seal the mansion, and it will not be offended."
Vantage still didn't believe it.
"That's not right."
Mo Wu coquettishly hugged his arm and said: "Okay, I'm just jealous of the princess of Wei, who used to be favored by my husband, Brother Shi helped me to find out what the rouge gouache she uses on weekdays is, and how to maintain it daily?" ”
Vantage was helpless, crying and laughing.
After a while, Shen Mi Huadi saw that she finally stopped asking a little relaxed, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "The room is prepared for us by me, you ......"
Emperor Vantage wanted to remind the only woman in the harem to appreciate and appreciate the Chinese room she had carefully prepared, but found that this woman who worried her stomach closed her mouth and closed her eyes tightly by the way after talking about the princess a few times.
"You say, what should I do with you?"
Vantage muttered to himself, gently picked her up, placed her on the spacious and soft bed, thoughtfully took off her coat, covered with a brocade quilt, and in a flash, she was attracted by a string of wood chips on her snow-white neck, different from the pearl and jade pieces hanging outside, this is a string of first washed wood of different sizes, there can be so many first washed wood, it must be a gift from the first washed royal family, Lian Yinan, Yu Wentong, and himself, are all newly enthroned lords, the war of the Three Kingdoms is turbid, will there be anything related to this, looking at the woman sleeping soundly by the window, Vantage gently held her wrist, put it down for a long time, let it go, let it breathe a long sigh of relief, and put the slender jade hand, I properly put it into the brocade quilt.
The next day, comfortably in the dragon bed phoenix pillow, Ye Junjin quilt woke up, Mo Wu was satisfied with the relaxation of muscles and bones, the vitality returned, and the blood was resurrected.
The war in Xijun did not stop, and there were riots among the victims, and the incident happened suddenly, Emperor Hua confessed a few words, kissed his half-asleep wife, and hurriedly followed the messenger to deal with political affairs.
I slept until I woke up naturally, passed the maid, freshened up, and was about to ask what the contents of today's breakfast were, when a maid in a goose yellow jacket came in from outside to spread the word, saying that the concubines of various palaces were waiting for the queen to go to greet him.
In Mo Wu's impression, only the queen mother is the harem venerable, or it should be the emperor's own mother, so the queen needs to greet her in person, so she asked casually.
The maid only said that the rules of Fuyue are like this, the queen and the concubines need to go to the concubines of the palaces every day to ask for peace, and they don't wait for the queen to have breakfast, so they urge in a hurry.
Every day?
Mo Wu muttered in his heart, these rules will be tired and impatient for a day, because of the first come, on the first day, he can't lose his dignity for the first time, he dressed up carefully, passed the sedan chair, brought the euro and Zhang Qi, and the two palace maids arranged by Han Shi, Peilan Lilac, and followed the woman in yellow to meet the concubines.
After the death of the first emperor, all the concubines moved into the Luoxia Palace to live, it is said that this is the rule since the previous dynasty, before each imperial concubine as long as there is a son, there is a title to show honor, but the first emperor died, all in the name of the surname, became the concubine.
Mo Wu listened to the palace maid Peilan's explanation all the way, and had a slight impression in his mind.
Suddenly thinking of yesterday's question, he asked again: "There are many concubines in the first emperor, and I only saw a few concubines yesterday, and I don't know where the other widows live?" ”
Perrin and Lilac were silent, hanging their heads and walking briskly.
Instead, the yellow-clothed palace maid sneered: "What is there to hide from this? Since Niangniang is the emperor's wife, she should naturally know. ”
"Know what?"
"The blood in this palace is a species, and there is no prince or princess, and when the emperor dies, he must be buried with the emperor."
The burial is not something that Mo Wu has never heard of, but it is a different taste to be born in front of him.
Recalling that Emperor Hua also told himself about seclusion, and did not mention the funeral in half a sentence, I also knew that he could not have children, and if his life dried up, he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.
"Mother."
Mo Wu came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”
"Niang, are you alright?"
Pei Lan was carefully selected by Vantage to serve Mo Wu, so he naturally valued the master's look more.
Mo Wu returned a reassuring smile and leaned his back on the back of the sedan chair wrapped in pink embroidered linen, "It's also a beautiful thing to think that you can be with Brother Shi after death." ”
The woman in yellow originally wanted to stab the new queen, but it was boring to hear this.
The sunset returns late, and people listen to the mourning at dusk.
It is not at all like the place where the royal family lives, and under the snow, it is also full of cold.
Mo Wu got off the sedan chair, and Euro helped her to the main hall, all the way covered with snow, no one cleaned it, and layers of fallen leaves could be seen in the snow, this bleakness was no longer the scene of this year.
The main hall is located in the middle of the position, surrounded by a dense courtyard, and the dim light excludes the two guards at the door, and the two yellow-clothed palace maids standing at the door of the main hall, the clothes are the same as those that summoned them.
Mo Wu followed the woman in yellow who led the way, entered the main hall, only to find that it was the Luoxia Palace, but there was only a double-open door, no windows, and the eaves beams were a little lower even compared with ordinary people's homes.
There were no palm lamps inside, but there were quite a few people sitting.
The five concubines with heirs sat on both sides and stood behind the two palace maids, and the main seat in the middle was vacant, and the emperor had never set up a queen, probably because of this.
Concubine Su, who was guarding the spirit yesterday, was also waiting in the main hall of Luoxia Palace today, with a light purple coat, sitting at the door, a little more eye-catching, and then looking at the other four concubines, dressed no different from yesterday, looking at herself, no one spoke.
Mo Wu was a little restrained, thinking that he hadn't had breakfast today, and he just wanted to do something early, so he could go back to eat early, so he took the initiative to say hello to the concubines and greet the concubines.
"Get on your knees!"
Suddenly, there was a scolding behind him, only to feel that he was suddenly pushed, and then pressed his shoulder, wanting her to kneel, but unfortunately although Mo Wu's martial arts are not good, but it is also taught by the top ten masters in the world, although he stumbled a step, he still stabilized his body, and with a backhand, he turned over the person who pressed his hand on his shoulder, and fell heavily on the cold gray stone brick floor. ”
The eunuch was originally ordered by his master to give the new queen a dismount, but he didn't want to be said to be attacking the queen's mother, so he was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Yo, I can't imagine that the queen's daughter's family can actually do martial arts?"
Concubine Su said sourly, "I heard that women practice martial arts hard, and the queen mother is afraid that she has suffered a lot, right?" ”
"I have learned as much as I can, and I have never suffered hardship."
Mo Wu replied with a smile, just wanting to finish things quickly and go back to eat and drink.
"The concubine and the queen are not ten years old, they should be sisters, but the elders are different, the queen was born in Jingyao, she doesn't know the etiquette of the palace, and even a simple kneeling ceremony will be, in the future, you have to study hard."
Concubine Su said beautifully, as if a kind sister was teaching her sister who thought she didn't understand human feelings, and added a sentence at the end, "Otherwise, it will be bad for people to see jokes." "See a joke?" Mo Wu frowned, "The emperor is just me, who will laugh?" Or are a few concubines small-minded, and they are going to look for me on the first day of the meeting, right? Euro and Zhang Qi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile, their own master is not a person to bully. Zhang Qi didn't put away his sword, and let the gray-clothed eunuch kneel. Concubine Wu gave birth to two sons, one of whom was still the King of Wei who had the strength to win the heir, and Concubine Su said sourly, and the bone spurs in her words were sharper, "Sister Su, you are really, the queen was born in poverty, and she has little education since she was a child, and those of us who are elders are naturally treated by many people, how can we let it spread at this time, not to mention the jokes of the royal family of the Nine Kingdoms, even the people in the market will think that the queen is unethical." It seems that he said to Concubine Su, everyone knows that it is said to Mo Wu, Concubine Lian and Concubine Guan are a little untouchable, and they have made a few peaces, but they are softly pushed back by those who want to know court etiquette or something, so they have to keep silent. The queen didn't care, and gave a blessing, "Thank you Concubine Wu for your thoughtfulness, the palace has already visited today, so I will go back to the palace first." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Slowly. Concubine Wu shouted. Mo Wu turned around and just looked at her coldly. "Although the queen is an adult who bestows the title of county lord, but the county lord who has also passed through Yao, she can't even bow down simply, won't she lose her identity as the county lord? Or did the queen not bow down in front of King Feng Yao before? "Mo Wu's patience has been exhausted, plus the hunger in his belly, he has no good face, in fact, there is no loss in kneeling, but this Concubine Wu is just the concubine of the first emperor, not Han Shi's biological mother, not her own mother-in-law, this arrogance in this gray hall makes her intolerable." Concubine Niangniang, it's not that I don't kneel today, it's just that I'm in Jingyao, King Fengyao is in love, I am the face of the king, and I really don't need to kneel and worship, to the first wash, I don't need to bow to Emperor Hua, I have seen Yu Wentong, even Emperor Bayun didn't dare to let me bow my head and salute, Fuyue, the emperor is very kind to me, bluntly said that it is not to sacrifice to the ancestors, there is no need to kneel, this is what Brother Jing has heard with his own ears, but I don't know who the concubine Niangniang wants to kneel to Mo Wu today? "The emperor of the Nine Kingdoms, you can see the four people, the first wash is the emperor's grandson ascending the throne, and when the old emperor is in his twilight, the national strength has declined, so naturally he can not let go of his eyes, but King Feng Yao is the first emperor of the Nine Kingdoms, the most pompous, Emperor Rong is new, and his strength is strong, in her mouth, they are all like Ruoer, Concubine Lian's eyes can't help but have a little more praise, and when she looks at Concubine Guan next to her, she doesn't have the slightest rejection, but a little appreciation, and can't help but say a few words of persuasion, making the scene not so ugly. Peilan Lilac also grew up in the palace, and following Concubine Lian's words, she said some decent words, and took the hungry queen back.
