Organizing the birthday banquet of the bolt is not a big deal, the queen basically had an idea before she got sick, and the rest is nothing more than some trivial work on the day of the celebration, with the help of Mama Zhou, and there was no trouble, and it was done smoothly. Xu Xun is a person, and all the specific things are ordered to Mama Zhou to do, and there is no need to bully the master with his identity.

After the birthday of the bolt passed, the queen's illness was still not good, still no energy, although the wind and cold were cured, often dizzy, according to the opinion of Imperial Doctor Liu, they couldn't get up, so they had to lie down and take medicine to recuperate. The disease seems to have become chronic, and the so-called disease mechanism has been activated in the palace.

The serious master in this palace will never be left out in the cold. Even if Queen Hu was already crumbling and had no majesty, then she had to ask for peace first, and the Kunning Palace would be quiet, otherwise, in addition to the usual three-day invitation, if someone wants to show filial piety and diligence every day, they will come uninvited and sit in the house religiously, just like the officials waiting to see in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if they ask for nothing, just to build a good relationship, there are a lot of people who are willing to spend this time to work hard.

Xu Xun here, due to the precedent of the year, there were no guests from the outer palace, she herself was seeking benevolence, and she only felt quiet. On the Queen Mother's side, she herself first supported Queen Hu to control the visit, and on the J □ J day, the queen would take everyone to the Qingning Palace, and in addition, she had to speak by herself to the Qingning Palace. At that time, this system was mainly to curb Sun Guifei - as the queen mother, she would not take care of the palace concubines below the concubine position at all, but later the position changed, the relationship between the two palaces tended to be cold, and the old man often did not appear, and the old man wanted to be quiet, and it seemed that there was no intention of restoring the free request system, or as usual, she saw who had accompanied her in the past, so she directly called people and held the initiative in her own hands. The queen's illness is also the first time in several years that the palace has reintroduced the service system.

When the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen are sick, in addition to the cronies around the palace, the concubines also have to go over to wait, in many cases this is even a kind of honor, at least it also reflects the emperor's trust and permission for the quality of your service - since it is an honor, it is estimated that it may not be standardized in the first few years, but after that, it must be divided equally with the title, Xu Xun consulted Mama Qian, according to the practice of Empress Renxiao Zuihou in those days, it is generally a concubine who leads the concubine position in her palace, Two or three hours of service passed the day. Then turn her head, this concubine can be labeled as 'serving the sick and sincere', and the means of brushing up her reputation are not much different from officialdom, which is also the strategy of Queen Renxiao's rain and dew to divide and regulate the harem.

Of course, in that palace, there is nothing for them to do, basically just stay in that room, the queen's every move, naturally there are people to serve, and the concubines help to beat the hands, serve tea and pour water, it is enough. Even if it is not as easy as being at ease in his own palace, and even wishing that the queen mother would die soon, who made her the queen, what should be done still has to be done, this is the wonderful use of identity oppression.

Xu Xun didn't plan to copy this system, after all, there are two concubines in the palace now, and He Xianxian still has to take care of the concubines, if the two of them take shifts, wouldn't she have to leave for a long time the next day, and besides, she herself has no interest in going to meet with Queen Sun the next day. She would rather not have the reputation of this sick person, and whoever wants to brush up her reputation will give it to whomever she wants. - Of course, I believe that in addition to her and Concubine He Hui, there are still many people who are very enthusiastic about this kind of thing, and she has no interest in getting in the way of others.

"Now that the mother has gradually recovered, and the illness is getting lighter," she always has to say something haode in front of the patient, "but it seems that there is no need for a large number of people to come and make noise every day, it is better to form a team and rotate two people every day, so that someone comes every day, and you don't feel lonely, and you don't feel noisy, but you have the best of both worlds." ”

Xu Xun came to visit her, and the queen naturally met her, she was really sick this time, her usual spirit was less than one percent, her face was pale and bloodless, she leaned on the pillow and had weakness, after listening to Xu Xun's words, she thought about it before she said, "Okay, then so be it, let it be arranged by the concubine." ”

Xu Xun said sincerely, "I am stumbling and full of mistakes, I just hope that Niangniang will recover quickly and resume palace affairs." ”

In other words, she doesn't want to take care of palace affairs at all, and looks forward to the queen taking over as soon as possible. As for other humble words, they can be taken as a deaf ear.

The queen's half-closed eyes slowly opened, she looked at Xu Xun with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh softly before saying, "I believe you." ”

Maybe it's because she is sick, and the delicate energy that has never faded in her body in the past - that style of being the master of the house, has dissipated to the lowest point at this moment, and as soon as the queen finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh again, and then changed the topic and asked, "How to arrange this year, do you have a plan in your heart?" ”

Although her health is not good, the queen does not seem to be ready to give up the authority in her hands, Xu Xun paused, and said truthfully, "It's only mid-November, and I haven't started to think about it, if Niangniang wants to have any thoughts, you can send someone to tell me that I will go back to the old lady." ”

Although the queen didn't react, Mama Zhou, who was next to the queen's couch, couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun, Xu Xun was silent, and when she didn't see it, she asked again, "Yes, this shift is sick, do you need to put Luo Concubine in too?" ”

The queen hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "No need, the prince can't be without someone to take care of him, so let Concubine Luo concentrate on taking care of the bolt." ”

After a pause, she exempted Xu Xun and He Xianxian again, "You have a strong child by your side, a little bit, and you have to take care of the palace, the weed next to Xianxian is also troublesome, so you don't have to come, and the rest of the people are on duty, which is enough to take care of me." ”

Xu Xun couldn't help but say a few polite words, seeing that the queen had made up her mind, she no longer insisted, it was definitely better not to come, and I believe that the queen didn't want to see her face dangling in Kunning Palace all the time.

Even if the relationship is bad, but now that Xu Xun has taken over the errand, he can't help but have contact with the queen, but fortunately, even if the queen is sick, it seems that her temperament is not messed up. After all, the conversation between the two sides maintained a superficial harmony, but Xu Xun had no intention of chatting more, and when he saw that the matter had been said, he stood up and said goodbye and left. The queen closed her eyes and rested for a while, and naturally some people were busy boiling medicine for her, beating her legs and rubbing her shoulders, and serving her comfortably.

Maybe it was this period of rest that made the queen recover some energy, and after taking medicine, she had some interest in chatting, "It's still the same heart." ”

Who she said, Mama Zhou knew very well, but she disagreed with the queen's evaluation - this is still called heart-to-mouth? Just took over the palace affairs, it was a bit of a monopoly on the meaning of self-control, the queen mother just asked a sentence, and immediately blocked it back with a don't know. It is clear that during the period when she is in charge of the palace, the palace affairs must come from the concubine's own brain, and she never needs the queen's opinion......

She was a little angry, and even more distressed, "Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Liu has said that your illness was caused by too many intentions, and now you are still thinking about what others will do, just take care of your life and recuperation." When the emperor came to see you, didn't he say everything, let you just recuperate with peace of mind, everything has him......"

Indeed, if there is any benefit to this disease, it is that it has finally brought back some of the emperor's thoughts, and the current emperor has come over more diligently than when the queen mother was better, not only to the queen mother is more comforting words, but even rewarded the queen mother with a lot of land. In Mama Zhou's view, although the possibility of sleeping and having children in the future is negligible, but when her childhood sweetheart came up all the way, the affection in this still overwhelmed all the favorite concubines and concubines. Although Xu Guifei didn't have a younger brother, didn't there be a close cousin in the clan? Up to now, except for her own family, other clansmen are living in their hometown in Nanjing, and there is no one who can go to Beijing, which shows that the emperor still has a rod and scale in his heart, after all.

Seeing that the queen sighed leisurely, closed her eyes and stopped talking, Mama Zhou's eyes rolled, and she said, "The way you are now, the old slave is not at ease to run around, this palace affairs, since the concubine wants to take care of it, it is better to simply leave it all to her——"

Halfway through the words, the queen opened her eyes and swept her coldly, "You should have no grandmother in this palace who has been in charge of palace affairs except you?" The female history of the six bureaus and one division, and more than half, are old friends of Qingning Palace. ”

Although she was sick and weak, so that her breath was weak and her words were weak, but these words, her thoughts were very clear, and Mama Zhou was awe-struck for a while, she thought for a moment, and hurriedly admitted her mistake, "It's the old slave who has a temperament for a while, and thinks left." ”

After a pause, he paid attention to it and said, "The slave must sincerely serve the concubine Niangniang, and take care of the palace affairs, please feel at ease." ”

The queen nodded, "From tomorrow onwards, you can go over on time, I have to come here to ask for peace, you don't need to worry about the details of the palace, you have Mama Wu in charge." ”

Mama Wu is also the queen's mother-up-raised grandmother, the same has followed her for many years, and Mama Zhou is still a god-kiss, the adopted daughter and adopted son of the two have made a pair of food, and promoted her to manage the details, Mama Zhou's heart is warm, and she also realized the queen's intentions: Although it is said that it is all due to the mother's liver and brain, but the mother has never let her loyalty be coldly treated.

The next day, she really went directly to the Yong'an Palace to listen to it, and by the way, she also moved several booklets in the queen's palace that were in charge of her, and when Xu Guifei summoned her after breakfast, she reported back, "From now to the end of the year, there are a number of affairs in the palace that need to be ruled by the mother, this is a festival, according to the norm, there are still some affairs that need to be decided by the mother." ”

There are many festival affairs, among which every year there are boiled eight porridge, piled up icebergs and carved lanterns, invited the door god, arranged the sacrificial stove to send the stove god stove horse, distributed the Tang flowers of each palace, and divided the special part of the festival, as well as the distribution of complements, as well as the arrangement of new clothes for the decent palace people and concubines in each palace, of course, the creation and distribution of various mascots are also indispensable for the concubine Niangniang to make decisions.

As for daily affairs, the year before the year to divide the season, to the end of the year, the records of the palace division should also be checked to show the meaning of rewards and punishments, in addition to the princes and princesses, it is needless to say that the prince and the princess ask for medical medicine according to the routine, and the rest of Ah Huang and Yuanyuan are all mama to follow the rules, Ah Huang and also began to practice words under the teaching of Mama, there is a natural need to have exams, and the princess can not just be coarse and ink...... Although it doesn't sound very big, it seems that you can do whatever you want, but in fact, in addition to the eunuchs in the imperial city of the previous dynasty, there are more than 2,000 palace maids and eunuchs in the harem together. Any small problem, expanded to more than 2,000 people, it will no longer be a small problem, all kinds of problems emerge in an endless stream, unless you have personally taken care of it, you will not know the mystery here.

Mama Zhou did her duty and explained to Xu Xun one by one the various affairs she had to take care of, but she would never try her best to tell all the details in it, and she also had a certain hope and wanted to see the jokes of the concubine. After saying this, he added, "There are also female students, because they are busy with the New Year, and now they are on hold, but I am afraid that the old lady will still mention it after the year, if the mother wants to read the file, the slave will go back to Kunning Palace to get it." ”

Just these things, Xu Xun listened to it for a while, and almost had the urge to abandon the roll and leave, seeing that Mama Zhou's expression was free, she didn't contain much color, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: I'm afraid that Mama Zhou hasn't bluffed yet, and even concealed some difficulties, just waiting for herself to be planted. She has more to think about, no less than that.

"In the past, most of these things were in charge of the six bureaus and one division, why do we have to ask about everything now?" She couldn't help but ask.

Mama Zhou's expression was calm, "The female officials of the six bureaus and one division, the population is withering one by one, and the old lady said, this matter cannot be paid to the eunuchs, so as not to make the eunuchs difficult to govern, and the palace people still have to look at their faces to live, so the edicts are all taken care of by the queen." ”

It's really a toss that people are not soft, what expression can Xu Xun have besides a wry smile? After thinking about it, he asked, "Then how many of these things in previous years had to be reported to Qingning Palace from time to time?" ”

"Daily trivial matters, the old lady doesn't ask, just occasionally mention a few words." Mama Zhou's face was expressionless, "The palace banquet at four o'clock and eight festivals is celebrated, and people often come to ask, and the mother often takes the initiative to go to Qingning Palace to reply." ”

Four hours and eight festivals add up to twelve, and there are all kinds of celebrations in the palace, only more than this, not less than this, which means that the queen probably has to organize one or two small celebrations every month under the pressure of her mother-in-law...... Xu Xun suddenly admired her energy, and under such a heavy burden, she actually supported her for more than a year.

"Although I am temporarily acting for the palace affairs, I am only a helper after all, Xiao Gui Cao follows, everything will be done according to the old routine." She immediately made a decision, "Mama Zhou followed Niangniang's side in the past, and she must have done something old, so you made up your mind first, and everything was based on Niangniang's practices in previous years, and it was reported to me, and the two of us discussed it, and then we went down." ”

Don't bother the two masters, she simply pushed most of the work to Mama Zhou, "Yesterday in Kunning Palace, listening to Niangniang's tone, now it's time to start working on the New Year, Mama Zhou first write these things in the order of these things to me, and then let's send them down one by one." ”

Mama Zhou didn't expect that Xu Guifei was really unprepared, and everything was paid to her, which was completely contrary to her guess yesterday, she stayed for a while before she hurriedly said, "The slave is too shallow in thinking, I'm afraid that there will be some omissions-"

After all, she is the queen's confidant, Xu Xun has to guard against it, otherwise she will smash the New Year, and she herself will have no face to see people, she bowed her head and said, "Yes, one person is short and two people are long, you think first, I will send someone here to invite Aunt Qiao from Shanggong and the old lady's side, and everyone will be a counselor together, and I am afraid that this year will be able to go smoothly." ”

Although she has overestimated Xu Guifei's ability as much as possible, as soon as her words came out, Mama Zhou's heart still couldn't help but sink: the difficult ones won't, the ones who will not be difficult, no wonder she didn't have any jihua yesterday, it turned out that she had already had a draft, and it was this idea of mutual checks and balances, and her ethereal wishes seemed to be about to be disappointed.

She even has an extremely ominous premonition - in fact, this can't be said to be a premonition, it is a definite prediction: if Niangniang can't recover after the year, I'm afraid that this matter of setting up a women's school, although the hard bones are gnawed by Niangniang, and the difficulties are passed by Niangniang, but when she arrives in Zuihou, she will let Xu Guifei drink soup......

The author has something to say: it's updated, and it should be guaranteed to be updated every day, but the time will be ethereal.

That's the case during the holidays, I believe everyone can understand|||
