If Xu Xun was still a little emotional when she was promoted from Concubine Zhuang to Concubine Huangzhuang, and from Concubine Huangzhuang to Concubine Guifei, she was completely numb by now. - Even if she were given a vice-queen now, it would not be possible to bring any change to her life. She even took care of the palace affairs, and accepted the congratulations like a New Year's holiday, as a concubine, what else did she not enjoy?

Of course, this does not mean that she has to express her indifference and disdain for this Jin Feng, although she didn't know anything beforehand, but Xu Xun's response to this matter is still very positive: the relationship between the two sides has been broken, but because the emperor has been noncommittal, she has been living in the palace to raise her illness for half a year, and she has gone out once, and now he has made a statement, and it is estimated that after the Jin Feng ceremony, she can also justifiably 'heal'.

"The Ministry of Rites must have been busy lately." When the emperor came to see her, in order to express his gratitude to the emperor, Xu Xun also specially turned over the new good tea, as well as the snow water of the old year to make tea for the emperor. "It's definitely going to be another mess."

Since there is a promotion sequence of the emperor's concubine - the concubine, the treatment of the concubine is naturally superior, which is enough to give the Ministry of Rites a headache, but fortunately, according to the convention, the concubine's book is a book and a treasure, and others can be on par with the imperial concubine, which can be regarded as a difference. But now the concubine has to add an emperor, and he also wants to carry out the Jin Seal Ceremony, so this Jia number can't be added in vain, good at figuring out the intentions, think about the favor of the, and will not propose everything to be simple, then you said that after a Jin Seal Ceremony, everything is still the same as before, that is, one more word of the title, how funny is that? There is no place in the palace where such jokes can be made, so Xu Xun has to add or subtract a few points from the already small difference between the concubine and the queen......

Thinking that his virtuous concubine Jia has attracted endless controversy, Xu Xun also has a headache for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, this kind of thing is the most retreat, discuss it, no matter what kind of treatment changes, she herself is estimated to not care, I believe that no one in the Ministry of Rites officials will really go to their hearts, but because of the rules, everyone still has to quote the scriptures and classics, and fight for a meridian in a graceful manner.

The emperor did not answer and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xu Xun said his guess. "There must be a fight, whether it is two more people to carry the sedan chair, or two more wheels for the car, or a heavy eaves...... These are all great things, how can they not argue? ”

She made the emperor laugh, "You are now even deep in the political affairs of the previous dynasty." ”

made a joke, but the emperor was not satisfied, so he pointed to the knife and slashed her on the neck in vain, and said, "According to Emperor Gao's holy teachings, concubines intervene in foreign affairs, and you must be beheaded." ”

Xu Xun touched his neck and said, "Just ask, you are stupid to me, if you want to interfere in foreign affairs, you will not intervene at this time." ”

"When is it going to intervene?" The emperor glared, as if surprised.

"According to the rumors in the market now, I, the adulterous concubine, took someone else's child and raised it by herself, and in the past few years, she has risen step by step, and the queen mother has been forced by me to recuperate." Xu Xun said with a smile, "The next step is naturally to secretly kill the queen mother, or to bewitch the eldest brother, pick up the star tower to push and kill Queen Sun, and then make you attack the bolt." Then ascend to the back seat and be a prestige - when you die, my eldest brother, I will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, hang the curtain to listen to the government, and the dynasty will weigh the system - when the time comes, I will interfere in foreign affairs, and who will dare to say that me? ”

"Have you been watching "Lu Wangxing Zhou" recently?" The emperor couldn't stand up with a straight smile, "Even the star tower has come out to push and kill, what do you mean, Xuan'er escaped to find a stranger to apprentice, and then returned to get the fairy treasure and kill you again, this is the right thing to do, everyone is happy?" ”

Xu Xun grimaced, "It's all heard from the outside, no one starts first, I won't compare myself to Daji." ”

The emperor's smile was a little discolored-"Lu Wangxing Zhou", also known as "Quanxiang Pinghua Wuwang Van Xuan Shu", is a very popular script in the previous dynasty, I don't know how many speakers tell this book of plain words, of course he is familiar with the story in it, comparing Xu Xun to Daji, the biggest problem is not how bad her reputation is, but in this way, his reputation is not good, after all, Shang Xun is the king of the dead country.

"Where did you hear that?" He said with a calm face, "Is there no one to take care of?" ”

"And no one named them." Xu Xun was just joking, but today Zhao Lun came in and talked about it, she didn't get angry when she heard it, she just felt funny, and when she saw the emperor coming, she casually told him to listen, and when she saw that the emperor was unhappy, she regretted it a little. "Let's just say that after the news of Jin Feng spread, there were more teahouses in the market that said that "King Wu Fell". Is it just for this that people have to be arrested? Let him go, the more he catches it, the more he will fall into people's words, and he will speak more powerfully. ”

Although the palace is strictly forbidden, after all, living under a sky, the leakage of news is always unavoidable, Xu Xun didn't mention it - Zhao Lun often said something outside the palace to relieve her boredom, in the teahouse and wine shop outside the palace, a few years ago quietly circulated a small news, saying that the king of Han was roasted to death by the emperor - even such a thing can't be hidden from the people, what is Xu Xun being arranged? In Zhao Lun's account, the king of Han was not only roasted to death, but sometimes the emperor still watched him be roasted and tore his flesh to eat.

Although the emperor also knew that this was a helpless thing, but still a little unhappy, Xu Xun saw it, and hurriedly diverted the words, "I used to eat tea, and I used to soak it in well water, and when I was in charge of the palace last year, I chatted with Liu Shanggong, she taught me to take a silver plate and pick up the first snow, and save it to make tea in the summer, which is the most cool and delicious, and can dispel the heat, I never remembered it, today the eldest brother came, and I remembered to soak it for you to drink." ”

The Emperor was distracted by her, and he wisely said, "What a mess this is, I won't drink it—I advise you not to drink it either, it's not fun to make a stomach." ”

Xu Xun saw the water boiling, and he was also a little suspicious, while pouring water to make tea, he poured another cup of white water, sniffed it first, and then took a few sips when it was cold, and said suspiciously, "Although there is no peculiar smell, I don't feel cool and delicious after drinking." ”

Since the emperor said that he would not drink this, naturally someone made Liuhe tea to dispel the heat -- the emperor was strong and timid, and he fell in love with fire in summer, and often drank this kind of tea, which has become more and more inseparable in recent years. He took a sip of tea, and no longer minded the past, but changed his words, "The Ministry of Rites didn't bother with it, but I didn't have to worry about doing things, and the prelude set a prelude, which was worse than your current one, and after I sent it back, I was completely out of line, and I said that I was not familiar with the situation in the inner court." The ball was kicked to the twenty-four yamen - I said that Emperor Gao also asked you to write the "Female Commandment", how could you be familiar with it again at that time? ”

According to Xu Xun's thoughts, the emperor probably had a little temper again, and after emphasizing her unpredictable side, she talked about the matter, "But in terms of reason, it is true that the affairs of the inner court have been different from those outside for a long time." The concubine has a treasure, and this one is not ventilated with the outside......"

If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother had already been embarrassed once, it would be too deceitful to let her determine Xu Xun's treatment now, and this job should be discussed between the Queen Mother and the emperor.

The emperor thought about it, and didn't discuss it with Xu Xun, so he decided to himself, "The old lady is not distracted, so let the queen decide, she has been in charge of the palace for a long time, and she must be the most familiar with the situation in the palace." ”

"Why are you so cruel...... Xu Xun couldn't help but say, "How long have people been recuperating, why do you want to say this, don't you think she's bad enough?" ”

The emperor couldn't help but hahadaxiao, and he said, "You're getting along with her now?" In the past, you were still alive and dead, but now it is as good as a person, a woman's heart is really like a child's face, and she will change when she says it. ”

"I'm not on good terms with her." Xu Xun was powerless, "You said that the relationship between the two of us is so bad, what do you want to do in it and provoke her to hate me?" It's enough now, and if you get angry with her again, she won't know how to scold me behind her back. ”

"Don't worry," said the Emperor happily, "there is still someone who can touch you one day with me?" ”

Xu Xun sighed and stopped talking, she picked up the tea and drank it big, only to think that this was tea made of snow water, and she wanted to vomit for a while, but she had already swallowed it, so she had to hurriedly take a few sips, which was considered a remedy.

The naïve state fell into the eyes of the emperor, which made him smile again, he calmly took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "What about teasing you, making you the imperial concubine, the queen is really happy, I can still see this, and it is nothing to contribute to you - it is better to let her decide it than to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites to toss around." ”

The queen is indeed that kind of character, she only looks at the interests and harms, and is never trapped by feelings. What does it matter if you are a concubine or an imperial concubine? Anyway, it's close enough to the back position, and now that she has turned her face with the Queen Mother, she has a lot of breathing space, which is the most important thing. At least, she won't worry about the ridiculous possibility of the Queen Mother's strong support to correct herself if something happens to the bolt. Xu Xun thought about it, and could only believe it, she shook her head, spat out and said, "Sometimes, I really admire the queen mother!" ”

However, she did not refuse the matter, and the Emperor seemed to have made up his mind anyway - let him do whatever he wanted.

#

With the queen's behind-the-scenes support, all matters have been properly handled. For example, at the beginning, regarding the treatment of the imperial concubine, the Ministry of Rites plan only had more beaded corn grain than the supply of ordinary concubines, and the most outrageous thing was the change in rations, which was five more chickens a month. -- The main reason is that the written dietary standards of the queen and the concubines are not open, and if they are too extravagant, it is easy to surpass the queen.

Xu Xun's salary from the time of Concubine Huangzhuang is higher than this, if it is according to this standard, it is better not to be promoted. And the queen is arranged very decently, there is no change in the diet, but the clothing specifications have been upgraded by one level for the imperial concubine, the crown of the imperial concubine is allowed to use twelve Zhai nine phoenixes, and the clothes can be used with nine phoenix patterns, compared to the crown of the concubine of nine Zhai and two phoenixes, this change is particularly classy. And there is an obvious difference with the queen - the queen wears a dragon and phoenix crown, and the costume is a dragon pattern.

There are also corresponding accessories specifications have also been significantly improved, travel ceremonial guards and monthly silver have been fine-tuned, such as when going out, although still sitting in a sedan chair, but from the number of people from the rated sixteen to twenty-four, etc., this is a change in symbolic meaning greater than the actual meaning, Xu Xunruo does not take the child out by himself, sometimes take one or two people.

However, these changes look good in the paperwork, and the emperor has increased Mr. Xu's position accordingly, and now he has been appointed to the governor of Tongzhi, a high-ranking official of Zhengyipin, and even the younger brothers and sisters of Xu who have not been in the company for a long time, have been given the gift of the third grade. Although it is inevitable that it will be inherited and become a product in the future, but now it is very glamorous to go out to socialize. Anyway, these are the proper meanings of the question, and it is impossible to cause any fundamental changes to the life of the Xu family, since Zhao's brother-in-law arrived in Beijing, Xu Xun's control of his mother's family is still very strict.

Her imperial concubine canonization ceremony was carried out smoothly and smoothly, without any waves, and the queen mother did not react to the queen's faint counselor. When she went to meet the old lady, she behaved normally, that is, she was neither happy nor angry, neither showing hatred nor any deliberate flattery.

As for the palace affairs, they are still running like that, and the female school has not made much noise, anyway, it is open slowly like that, and she is slowly searching for the history of women. The matter of the inner peace hall slowly has an eyebrow - the news of the addition of a medical department in the inner study hall has spread all over the palace in the blink of an eye, and for a time the voice of the queen mother's compassion has been greatly violated, and there are many sycophants in the palace who praise the virtuous.

In addition, the queen mother is at the helm with peace of mind, the emperor is at ease to play, the queen is at ease to recuperate, the concubines are at ease to live, and the children are growing up with peace of mind - in Xu Xun's impression, from the Yulu Rebellion in the last years of Emperor Wen to the present, the court has never been peaceful for a moment, and it seems to be really quiet. At least, compared with the turbulent dark tide in the palace when the emperor was the crown prince, the atmosphere in the current inner court is much more peaceful. Everyone seems to have found their place, and the irony impregnated in the words 'Xi and Anle' has finally faded a little.

"Really checked?" In a peaceful atmosphere, the emperor seemed to be a little unhappy, although it was a good weather with a cool autumn breeze, which was suitable for horse hunting, but he did not mean to have fun, although he leaned under the osmanthus tree in the south, but his brows were tightened, "Are you sure there is no such thing in the capital?" ”

Ma Shi had, "Back to Grandpa's words, Feng En has checked it several times, and Xing Zai really didn't say anything like this." ”

He deliberately bit the two words correctly, and sure enough, the emperor's eyebrows were raised. "If you have something to say, it's good to say."

I couldn't help laughing again, "Dog slave, you will sell Guanzi, you carefully hurt your." ”

"If someone tells a lie about this," Ma Shi said busily, "it is definitely not Aunt Xu - the slave maid also doesn't believe that Aunt Xu will lie to you, because Jingli didn't find out about it, and knew that Zhao Lun Suri was the one who often went out of the palace, and often told Aunt Xu about some outside things, so he asked Zhao Lun privately." ”

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that the man had been away from Beijing for several years, and besides, there was nothing wrong with being loyal to the Lord, so he boldly said, "Zhao Lundao, this is indeed not a thing to do—it is a trend that has arisen in Nanjing after the news of the concubine Feng reached Nanjing. ”

Concubine Feng wants to issue an edict, of course, this kind of edict does not need to tell the world, but Nanjing also has a set of six teams, and there are many people who come and go between the two capitals, to say which city in the world is the most closely related to the line, it is undoubtedly the capital of Nanjing, speaking, because Emperor Zhao ordered the capital to be moved back to Nanjing before his death, Beijing at this time can only be called Xingzai, the capital is serious, or in the south. And because the south is far away from the center of power after all, the factory guards are indeed more relaxed than Beijing, and some gossip is bolder than others. In Beijing, it is estimated that the person who dares to compare the emperor to the emperor has not yet been born, but in Nanjing, there must be a few people who are disgruntled and well-informed.

Ma Shiyi spoke, and the emperor probably guessed the reason, his eyebrows fell back to their original positions, and his tone couldn't hear joy and anger, "Oh? ”

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, but no matter how worried he was, Ma Shi could only continue to talk now. "That...... Liu Zhien, isn't he on an errand in Nanjing, after hearing about this, he felt that something was wrong, and he had a good relationship with Zhao Lun, so he mentioned it in passing when he wrote to him, that is to say, it was a novelty......"

The emperor smiled, "He is loyal to the Lord." ”

Ma Shiben still wanted to change his method to praise Liu Zhien for a few words, but after listening to the emperor's tone, he was suddenly silent, and he didn't dare to say anything more. The emperor glanced at him, took a few sips of tea slowly, and suddenly said, "Yes, I remember Liu Zhien...... It seems that he recognized Zheng He as his godfather, right? ”

"Grandpa Shengming-" Ma Shi was already a little incoherent. "Even this matter is illuminated!"

"The tiger father has no dog son," the emperor praised the two fathers and sons, "The Three Treasure Eunuchs and Liu Zhien are both talents." ”

He thought about it, and then clasped his palms, "--I have also served Xiao Xun, I can't let him lose the result, isn't the eunuch of the Three Treasures going to the West?" Let Wang Jin write me an excerpt and give Liu Zhien a position, so that he can also follow his godfather to go abroad and see the world more. ”
