"Is this true, the younger brother said it, what the second brother said today, the younger brother naturally believed it. However, the younger brother also has a question, and asks the second brother to give advice. Huang Qiong obviously didn't want to continue this topic. Instead, they chose to bypass the topic. Who is the main messenger behind the scenes, Huang Qiong believes that his second brother, no matter how cunning he is, will tell him in the end.

As long as he still wants to avenge himself, he will not hide this to the end. And although this second brother is not the kind of person who must report flaws, Huang Qiong doesn't know. But he knew that his second brother was definitely not the kind of broad-minded person. Even if he is going to die, he will definitely pull a cushion on his back to be willing.

Hearing that Huang Qiong had something to ask herself, since she met this ninth brother, she had never guessed what this ninth brother was thinking about King Jing. Thinking that this ninth brother was finally a little breathless, he couldn't help but say happily: "What does the ninth brother want to ask, the second brother promises to know everything." At this point, I don't have anything to hide, do I? ”

"Second brother, the first tryst with Concubine Shen you just said was because after getting drunk, you inadvertently broke into Concubine Shen's dormitory, which was still Jieyu. The younger brother wants to ask the second brother, what time did you drink at that time? Do you still remember, how did you get to Concubine Shen's bedroom? The younger brother thought that with the situation of the second brother at that time, the old man would never let a drunk person break into the palace. ”

"After the second brother is drunk, at least one or two eunuchs should be sent to take care of one or two. According to this common sense, the real possibility of the second brother's so-called inadvertent break-into Concubine Shen's bedroom should be very small. Even if the second brother is very drunk, the eunuchs who serve the second brother will not be ignorant of some rules. ”

"How can you still go and indulge the second brother and trespass into the residence of the harem concubine? You had an affair with this concubine, oh, it was a tryst, is it possible for anyone else to know except yourself? The palace people around Concubine Shen didn't notice it at all? Second brother, as long as you have a heart, there are some things that you can't hide from people. ”

Huang Qiong's voice fell, but King Jing was stunned. He didn't expect that he, the ninth brother, did not ask him about himself, but instead led the topic back to himself. Thinking of the events of that year, King Jing said somewhat embarrassedly: "Because I was about to be a vassal back then, my father and mother often summoned the crown prince, me, and then King Duan and King Ji into the palace. ”

"My father had two thoughts back then, one was that I was the first prince to go out of Beijing to become a vassal among the princes, and he hoped that after I arrived in the domain, I would cherish the people, not follow the example of the previous clan, and become an example for other younger brothers. Second, I hope that our brothers can unite and not kill each other. ”

"It's just that the old man's idea is good, but is this possible? Love each other and live in harmony is also possible when you are young. In the years of the cold palace, the eldest brother also took on the responsibility of being the eldest brother. With our three brothers and the queen mother, we are looking forward to our father and emperor taking us out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, and at the same time surviving the cold palace years together. ”

"At that time, our four brothers did not have the intrigue they have now, let alone the fratricidal rivalry they have now. There are four brothers, except for the one who is not sensible, and the other three brothers are also very united to accompany their mother. In those years, it wasn't that difficult to think about it now, but I couldn't leave that courtyard and couldn't meet outsiders. ”

"Although the king of Huaiyang County has always wanted to starve our mother and son to death and freeze to death in the cold palace, there are many deductions in the supply. But under your mother's care, although it is not now, it can be regarded as food and clothing. Looking back now, that time should have been the happiest day of my life. ”

"Although I can't see my father, I can't get out of the wall of the cold palace. But there was no suspicion between the brothers, and everyone gathered around their mother's knees. It's a pity that people can only share joys and sorrows, not wealth and prosperity. I don't know when this relationship started to change. Maybe from the moment the eldest brother was canonized as the crown prince, we can't get back the past. ”

"My father and my mother also noticed the changes between us. The queen mother, in particular, always tries to restore us to the past. In addition, I was the first person among the princes to become a vassal, and my father and mother always let our brothers get together more. Because King Ji lost his mother since he was a child, and he was also brought up by his mother, several of us were often called into the palace to give banquets. ”

"At that time, although I had a deep prejudice with my eldest brother. But in front of the father and the queen mother, especially in front of the queen mother, who is already in poor health, everyone can at least pretend to be harmonious on the surface. We drank late that day, and it was the first time I had been drunk in the palace. At that time, the palace was locked, so my father and mother did not let me go back to the house. ”

"As for how I got to her dormitory at that time, I remembered it myself for a long time afterwards, but I didn't recall it. At that time, her status was not high, just a Jieyu, and there were two palace people and a eunuch around her. Later, after a short time, I was worried that the night would be long and I would have too many dreams, so I killed these three people. ”

"The eunuchs and palace maids who were later transferred to her were all my henchmen in the palace. No one dared to reveal half a word about my tryst with her. As for other people, your second sister-in-law doesn't know about this matter, so how can outsiders know? Ninth brother, your second brother and I don't have that interest yet, when I had sex with my beloved woman, I made an earth-shattering situation and let a large circle of people watch. ”

King Jing's explanation, Huang Qiong groaned slightly and said, "Second brother, do you know the details of that Lord Liu?" Is he really as bookish as you think? Bookish? Angry people are stubborn, and I'm afraid it's even more difficult than ordinary people. Such a person would easily let his daughter enter the palace? Second brother, you have thought about this matter before and after, and there are too many doubts. ”

"I'm afraid that from the moment you met Miss Liu, you have fallen into someone else's trap. First of all, my father is not the kind of person who likes beauty. In terms of beauty, my father is still quite restrained, and he rarely previews beauty, which you can't help but admit. Since the father rarely pages beauty, how did Concubine Shen enter the palace? ”

"What's more, whether it was the year of the beauty pageant or not, the second brother should be clear. From this point of view, Concubine Shen's entry into the palace itself is quite suspicious. Because I know that with my father's character, it is impossible to know that someone's daughter is beautiful, so I chose to serve in the palace. Even if he is selected into the palace according to custom, his father generally does not take the initiative to get close to those newly elected women. ”

"How did she get selected as Jieyu as soon as she entered the palace? In fact, after entering the palace, the second brother may not have no chance. As long as this woman is still an ordinary female official, she has not been fortunate by her father. The second brother wanted to come over, but it was just a sentence from Queen Daxing. But as soon as this Jieyu was chosen, the second brother's last possibility was completely blocked. ”

"A woman who is not very favored, and is only a woman from a five-grade civil official family, how can He De be named Jieyu as soon as she enters the palace? You must know that the average woman of an official family above the third grade will be named a beauty or a woman after entering the palace. The women of the five-grade official family are only nobles at most. ”

"Your concubine Shen, although she is as delicate as water, is far from reaching the point where the country is beautiful and fragrant, and the emperor loses himself. With the second brother's power in the court and the palace, it stands to reason that the reason for her entering the palace is very simple. But the second brother has never figured out such a simple matter. ”

"Second brother, think about it, during your tryst, did she mention to you the reason for entering the palace? The younger brother doesn't believe it, with the second brother's character, he has such a deep affection for Concubine Shen, you won't ask these words? But when you asked her, did she answer you these questions? Have you carefully considered these unreasonable questions? ”

"The palace is strictly forbidden, not to mention that you are a prince, even the prince cannot enter the concubine's residence at will. The doors of the palaces have been locked, not to mention that you, a prince who has already left the palace, can pass through the heavy checkpoints unscrupulously after being drunk, and enter the harem concubines' bedrooms, even the chief eunuchs of the Inner Servant Province do not have the courage. ”

"After the second brother was drunk, he was able to break through the layers of door guards and run to the bedroom of the person who thought about his dreams by mistake. With the second brother's understanding of my Daqi court system, do you think this is possible? The second brother was even so drunk that he didn't have sex with Concubine Shen, and he couldn't remember, how could he dare to conclude that this encounter between you and Concubine Shen was not deliberately arranged by others? ”

"Even every tryst since, even if the second brother is powerful in the palace, but you are an elderly prince who has left the palace, you have been in and out of the palace again and again, and even had a private tryst with a concubine, you have never encountered a single obstruction, let alone been discovered, do you think this is normal?"

After King Jing finished stating the whole thing, Huang Qiong pondered slightly, and then smelled a strong conspiracy in it. If the whole thing is as described by King Jing, then there are simply too many things worth pondering. Not to mention anything else, how did that Concubine Shen enter the palace, and it is a big doubt that she was named Jieyu as soon as she entered the palace.

His own emperor Lao Tzu is a person and character, and Huang Qiong has basically figured it out now. Even if he has 10,000 shortcomings, there is one thing that has to be admitted. This old man himself, among the emperors of all dynasties, is really not lustful. The harem concubines have a famous position, but there are only more than 20 people.

Compared with his own imperial grandfather, who was known as the beauty of the harem, Emperor Sejong was not even a drop in the bucket. And even if there are more than 20 concubines, most of them are the daughters of some ministers chosen by their emperor Lao Tzu after he really grasped the power. This means more not for women, but more to stabilize their rights.

A woman whose appearance is not outstanding, and her family is just a five-grade official, it stands to reason that even if the statement is far away, her emperor Lao Tzu will laugh at most after he knows about it. and will never be selected into the harem, and even as soon as he enters the palace, he will be named Jieyu, who is second only to the nine concubines.

According to the custom of Daqi, although this Jieyu's position is not high, it can be said that it is a link between the previous and the next in the harem system of Daqi. Jieyu is the first level of the main position, and has her own separate courtyard in the palace. If the harem concubine is not named Jieyu, she shall not be promoted to concubine. In other words, this woman is named Jieyu, and she can directly cross the position of the nine concubines, and the next step is to seal the concubines.

Ordinary officials and women are elected to the palace, unless Huang Qiong's mother is a special case, they are generally only named nobles, talents, and beauties. It is the concubine of the foreign family in the civil official system of the Great Qi, known as the protégé and the former official of Half the Sky, and when she first entered the palace, she was only a nobleman. And this incident made Concubine De, who was bent on competing with Huang Qiong's mother, linger until now.

Although she was only carried into the palace as an ornament back then. Because the king of Huaiyang County back then had no intention of letting Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu stay on the throne for too long. It's already very good to be able to give her the name of a nobleman. If you want to be a concubine, or even become a queen, you have to see whether the king of Huaiyang County agrees.
