The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!

Empress Dowager Zhuang is a very amiable and kind old man, she conscientiously manages the harem in an orderly manner, but strictly abides by the ancestral teachings and absolutely does not interfere in the political affairs of the imperial court. Emperor Xinde ignores the government and is obsessed with cultivating immortals, she doesn't interfere much in this, she often tells the people around her that it is her duty to manage the affairs of the harem!

If you want to say that Empress Dowager Zhuang has any hobbies, then her biggest hobby is listening to operas, and there is also a hobby, which is to personally train Zhuang Xiaoxian, the precious grandson of the Zhuang family.

Zhuang Xiaoxian's entry into the city defense camp was arranged by the Empress Dowager Zhuang, Zhuang Xiaoxian's body is weak, and he needs to exercise in the army to be healthy. Zhuang Xiaoxian is the only seedling of the Zhuang family, and the degree of his treasure can be imagined.

"Zhuang Xiaoxian has seen the imperial aunt and grandmother!" Zhuang Xiaoxian knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Zhuang and greeted him very politely. Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes lit up, she stood up and said, "Hey, isn't this our family's precious grandson Xiaoxian?" Oh, I haven't seen our little grandson for a few days, his body is stronger, his spirit is more sufficient, and the whole person seems to have been reborn.

Quick, tell the imperial aunt and grandmother, is there any happy event, why haven't I seen it for more than a month, so I changed someone! ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian was grabbed by the Queen Mother's hand and looked at it closely, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his face turned red in an instant. When Empress Dowager Zhuang saw Xiaoxian's appearance, she was even more happy, she turned her head to look around, and said to the concubines in the harem: "You all see, our old Zhuang family's children have grown up, and they are no longer the little children who only pester me to eat candy all day long!" Tell me, did you change to marry a daughter-in-law for our little guy?

I can tell you, Xiaoxian is the only seedling of our dealer's family, if you have any way, you have to hurry, there will be no such shop in this village, haha......"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said this, many women around laughed, Zhuang Xiaoxian has been in and out of Cining Palace since he was a child, so the concubines in the harem are no strangers to him at all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhuang Xiaoxian is the child they grew up watching with a bare buttocks!

Generally speaking, the prince of the harem leaves the palace when he is over ten years old, and the prince also needs to have very strict procedures to enter the palace. But Zhuang Xiaoxian is different, firstly, because of the Queen Mother, mainly because Zhuang Xiaoxian has been guilty of encephalopathy since he was a child, and his IQ at the age of ten is almost only the level of ordinary three or four-year-old children.

Even if it grows up to the present, his mind is like that of a child, but in the past month or so, Zhuang Xiaoxian has made rapid progress, as the ancestors said, as if he was reborn and changed a person! When everyone saw that the old lady was happy, they naturally followed the coaxing, and Zhuang Xiaoxian was even more embarrassed for a while.

Zhuang Xiaoxian couldn't help but say, "Grandma Huang, don't you know? The new garrison of our city defense battalion has arrived! Now the Keju of our city defense battalion is amazing! Lord Garrison Lu selected me into the squad of 25 people. At the end of this year, I will be able to participate in our Keju Contest in Beijing! ”

As soon as Zhuang Xiaoxian mentioned Keju, all the tension and embarrassment were gone, and only excitement was there. He was really excited, this was the proudest and most rewarding thing he had ever grown up. He thought that he would be able to make an appearance at the Keju tournament at the end of the year, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Originally, he didn't even think about entering the palace today, because he had just joined the 25-person roster, and he didn't complete the training that had to be completed every day according to Lord Lu's requirements! Compared to Keju, entering the palace is really boring. However, the matter of the imperial aunt and grandmother is also very important, and the rest of the entire dealer can be absent, but he must not be absent, otherwise the imperial aunt and grandmother will definitely be unhappy!

Empress Dowager Zhuang listened to Zhuang Xiaoxian talk about Keju, her eyebrows and eyes were also wide-opened, and she said: "Okay, my Xiaoxian is really an adult, and he can represent the city defense battalion to participate in the Keju competition at the end of the year, good, good!" You're a hundred households! ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian said: "Aunt Huang, not every hundred households can participate in the competition!" There are more than 300 households in our city defense camp, and only half of the 100 households can enter the list, and those who do not enter the list cannot participate in the Keju competition. Imperial aunt and grandmother, I entered the list, but I was hand-picked by Lord Lu! ”

When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard this, she was even more happy, and the surrounding concubines also came over to give Zhuang Xiaoxian all kinds of encouragement and praise. The Queen Mother likes Zhuang Xiaoxian, and the women in the harem naturally don't treat him as an outsider. In fact, harem women are lonely, and Keju is also a very interesting entertainment for them.

Why was Keju so developed in the Great Kang Dynasty? To a large extent, it is because of the love of dignitaries, especially the court! The annual Kemari tournament was a great event for the imperial court. Although many concubines can't participate in it themselves, they are actively participating in various gambling games outside and in the palace.

As for a powerful royal family like the eldest princess Long Lingxiu, the princess's mansion has its own juju team, and then the Qin Palace, the Qi Wangfu and the East Palace also have their own juju teams.

The juju team in the palace has the forbidden army juju team, and the other is the city defense battalion juju team, as for the other ministers, because the prime minister Dai Gao has always disliked the juju, so the other ministers did not dare to rashly engage in the juju team. But now that Dai Gao is old, many princes and nobles, including the ministers, have become enthusiastic about the juju activities. Not to mention anything else, the Lu family is secretly planning to prepare for the Keju team!

There are many topics in Keju, everyone likes to talk about it, Zhuang Xiaoxian seems to be an expert in this area, and he talks about it from head to head. Looking at his appearance, where can you still see that he is a person with brain disease, the Empress Dowager Zhuang saw this scene, the whole person was stunned, tears flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say in her heart: "The ancestors of the Zhuang family have eyes, the only seedling of the Zhuang family has finally opened up, and he is finally an adult, and the Zhuang family is not afraid of no queen......

Everyone was talking about it, it was lively, and the play on the stage was about to start at this time, and suddenly the eunuch outside shouted: "The eldest princess is married!" ”

The eldest princess Long Lingxiu is the granddaughter of the queen mother's in-law, and the queen mother's liking for Long Lingxiu is also well known, and many people stood up to prepare for Long Lingxiu's arrival.

Long Lingxiu didn't see Zhuang Xiaoxian until the old lady was beside him, and he saluted in a proper manner. She and Zhuang Xiaoxian are the same generation, but the age difference is ten years. When she was a child, she didn't bully the little brother of the Empress Dowager Zhuang's relatives, and Zhuang Xiaoxian was still talking to the people around her!

Long Lingxiu giggled and said, "Oh, Xiaoxian, why are you so obsessed with Juju now?" According to this palace, if you really like Keju, go to my palace. I have the world's best Keju master there! You are in the city defense camp, hehe, what kind of Praetorian Guards are you, in fact, they are just a group of gentlemen, and they can only be at the bottom of the Keju competition every year, how do you learn real skills there? ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian was slightly stunned, and his face instantly became ugly. The eldest princess is very majestic, not to mention in the harem, even if it is above the court outside, the courtiers are very jealous of her. Zhuang Xiaoxian is also very afraid of her, after all, the shadow left by her childhood can't be dispelled for a while.

However, Zhuang Xiaoxian pursed his lips, tilted his head and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, we have a new garrison!" Now the Keju of our city defense battalion is no longer comparable to what it used to be! Our Lord Lu is wise and martial, both civil and military, not only the world's first talent, but also able to strategize and win the battlefield. This time, Lord Lu supervised Keju in our city defense camp, and the goal was to be proud of the capital at the end of the year! ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian said this extremely fluently, in fact, with his talent, he categorically couldn't say this. These words were all said by Su Qian, the city defense battalion, Zhuang Xiaoxian admired Lu Zheng very much, so he firmly remembered these words, and now he said them by rote, which was very imposing.

Originally, he was very afraid of Long Lingxiu, but when he said this, his waist straightened unconsciously, and the garrison said that honor is above everything else, and honor is higher than life. The city defense battalion is a collective, and no one can humiliate this collective, not even the eldest princess.

Long Lingxiu stared at Zhuang Xiaoxian, a little surprised by Zhuang Xiaoxian's speech, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, I haven't seen you in the past few days, Xiaoxian's speech has become more and more clever, and the whole person has changed!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang said on the side: "Isn't it? My old woman originally thought it was strange, but now Ling'er you say the same, then it's not wrong! It seems that Lord Lu, the garrison of the city defense battalion, is really a strange person, not to mention anything else, just talking about the ability to lead troops and raise soldiers, it is indeed breathtaking! ”

Long Lingxiu's feeling in her heart was not good. This surnamed Lu, really thought he could go to heaven? Hehe, he slapped the princess's mansion in the face of the Tongzheng Division, and when he turned around, he dared to refuse his invitation to him, not only refused, but also spoke freely, humiliating himself to the fullest, during this time, Long Lingxiu was busy with other things, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to Lu Zheng, now it's okay, it's only been a few days, and this kid has made such a noise in the city defense camp again?

She was exquisite, but after a while, even if she had an idea, she laughed and said, "Xiaoxian, are you really windy and not afraid of breaking your tongue?" With the little skill of your city defense battalion, do you still want to be able to raise your eyebrows in the Keju competition? It's a dream! ”

Long Lingxiu looked around and said, "There are so many ladies here, tell me about it, can the city defense battalion raise their eyebrows in the Keju competition?" How can you be a few stupid soldiers in the city defense battalion? ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian's face instantly turned red, where would he be convinced in his heart? immediately ridiculed each other, and even went out and pinched the eldest princess......
