Chapter 235: Plum Blossom Green Rain (1)
After the emperor was in good health, the gloomy atmosphere was suddenly swept away from the palace, and the emperor and queen were very emotional, so it seemed that they were completely happy. The Queen Mother came to see it twice again and was no longer worried, but only whispered a few more words in the queen's ear before leaving.
The words of instruction are subtle, tossing and turning, but they are unchanged, but they are only a few words of teaching that "spread branches and prosper the royal family". The queen mother was originally sympathetic, and when she saw the emperor's deep affection, she didn't urge too much, but the ministers above the court seemed to be discussing for a while, regardless of camp, and all of them recently gathered together and began to pay attention to the emperor's heirs.
The queen also heard some rumors, so she promised to come down with filial piety, and after the queen mother left, she also reminded the emperor several times according to her words, urging him to meet the new beauties.
In addition to the superficial work of ascending the throne at the beginning of the situation, a handful of concubines have been promoted in the palace according to the rules, and in recent years, there have been no newcomers entering the palace, and none of the old concubines can really see the face. Therefore, the emperor didn't know the beauty, and he was urged several times but still didn't understand what it meant to be "his new concubine".
"They are beautiful and will make people happy, Your Majesty chooses the one you like, and you can have more people by your side like this in the future. If that person is really blessed, maybe he can give birth to a little prince or a little princess, wouldn't it be great? ”
The queen's voice was a little lonely and difficult to hide, she was naturally reluctant to push her husband to any other woman, but she had to make some magnanimous appearances that understood the righteousness in the face of the title of queen. What's more, the biggest reason for accepting concubines is that she is a bare-bones queen who has nothing to do, so. She had no reason to refuse.
At this time, the emperor roughly understood what "choosing a concubine" meant, probably a few more "sisters" like Zipei who could accompany him. But Zipei is his wife, and they just said that they want husband and wife to love each other, so why are they going to give themselves to others at this moment.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly became anxious, and only took the queen's hand in his palm, and defended himself with some anger and some eagerness.
"I don't want any concubine sisters, it's good now, it's enough to have a son to wear."
He has always been obedient, only when he has a temper with her, he will call himself "I". The queen was a little annoyed when she saw him, but her heart was sweet. After thinking about it, I finally gave up the idea of continuing to persuade. A noisy selection. Let them grow alone in their own dormitories like their predecessors.
When it came to a family banquet, seeing that the queen's persuasion really did not work, the queen mother had to go out to coordinate in person.
"Emperor, do you really want to meet those beautiful sisters?"
"I really don't want to."
The Queen Mother sandwiched a piece of fragrant crystal tofu and sent it to the emperor's bowl. The emperor flattened his mouth and put the tofu in the queen's bowl. Obviously unhappy. The Queen Mother was not in a hurry. Still smiling, he put another chopstick and vegetable into his bowl.
"Don't even see the sister in that peach blossom painting? In this case, the mother ordered the portrait to be burned, and then by the way, the person in the painting was also driven out of the palace. ”
"Portrait? What portrait? ”
"You chose it yourself that day, and you took a fancy to the woman under the peach blossom tree. Why have I forgotten it now? ”
The Queen Mother said this, and the emperor thought carefully for a long time before finally remembering that he had indeed seen a portrait of a woman a few days ago. At that time, dozens of scrolls were piled up in one place, all of them were young women of various appearances, and the emperor didn't care about choosing a concubine, he just thought that his mother was choosing the most beautiful woman, so he also helped choose. There are many portraits, and it is not easy to choose for a while, but when I look at it, I find that the small portrait in my hand is painted with an old person.
He didn't remember the other person's name, but he remembered the beautiful side face and a tear mole under his eyelid. The emperor happily picked out the portrait of the peach blossom half-face makeup and handed it to his mother, meaning that this is the best, but he didn't expect that the person in the painting has become his concubine sister. In this way, his resolute refusal to see each other weakened a lot, and he always thought that he knew that sister, and he really wanted to see him again when he finally had the opportunity.
The emperor still bit the spoon in his mouth and turned his head to sneak a glance at the empress, who looked at him with a shallow smile and finally nodded.
"The queen mother, that sister, the child wants to see."
"That's good, mother will arrange it for you as soon as possible."
The Queen Mother has her own plans in her heart, although she couldn't resist Zhang Shaoqing's request before, and she will find an opportunity to send Yin Suwen out of the palace in the near future, but in fact, she can't let go of the little thoughts in her heart.
She didn't believe that Yin Suwen really wanted to enter the palace as a concubine wholeheartedly, and she intuitively felt that the real purpose was closely related to what she wanted to know, so she would act like this at this moment. She promised to help get rid of Yin Suwen, but if Yin Suwen had become a concubine who had been sleeping or she insisted on staying, it would be another matter.
The queen mother drew strokes on the jade, instructed Liu Zhong to hang up Yin Suwen's green head card three days later, and then specially whispered a word, asking the emperor to keep the news of the first choice of the chamberlain to be kept secret for the time being, and then notify all places in the morning of the chamberlain.
For the first time since the emperor ascended the throne, he favored the concubines other than the queen, which was a major event, but it was kept secret due to the instructions of the queen mother, and all the preparations were handed over to Liu Zhong in advance, but the palaces of the harem did not get a little news.
They only knew that the emperor had not shown his face in front of everyone since he was elected to the palace, and he did not summon anyone to sleep except for the rewards given to the palaces as usual.
The people in the harem can't go to the previous court, so they can only guess whether the emperor is really too diligent in the court, and he has no time to take care of anything else. There were several eagerness such as An Ran who wanted to go to the Chaoyuan Hall to say hello, but he Caiwei was decisively refused, thinking of the queen's meaningful words, no one was willing to come out easily for a while.
Yin Suwen was faintly uneasy in her heart, although she knew that it was not the emperor himself who was really in power in this palace, but if she didn't get close to the emperor, she wouldn't have a chance to get close to the queen mother, let alone find out the truth of the old thing, and take revenge. Thinking about the time, I thought that even if the emperor was secretive and mysterious, it should be time to summon the attendants after five or six days.
She also had a lot of concerns about the bed, but fortunately, Li Xiuming has always been considerate and an omnipotent person, and she was fully prepared as early as when she decided to enter the palace. A copy of "Stealing Incense Powder" was still hidden in her package, and with that specially configured miracle medicine, she naturally didn't need to really sacrifice herself to serve the master.
