Chapter 101 Encountering a concubine in the harem pleaded for the queen
Wei Si finished dealing with state affairs this day, and then came to the harem garden to relax, after all, since he came back from Luoyi last time, he has been busy with various state affairs all day, and he has not stepped into the harem for a long time.
At this time, I suddenly saw two beautifully dressed women talking and laughing under a gazebo not far away, and it was obvious that the two of them were smiling very brightly and charmingly, which made Wei Si couldn't help but look at it from afar, and froze.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiao next to him shouted:
"The King...... King! â
Wei Si came back to his senses at this time, and quickly pulled his gaze back from the direction of the two women, and asked Zhang Xiao:
"Big nose, what's the matter with being a widow?"
Zhang Xiao pointed to the two women who were still talking and laughing and said:
"You don't know who these two girls are, do you?"
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, which palace are they from?"
Zhang Xiao replied:
"They are the concubines of Cuihuayuan and the concubines of Luhuayuan in the Nine Concubines Palace."
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"It turns out that they are the nine concubines of the widow, and the widow only knows it now!"
Zhang Xiao immediately said:
"The king, you almost don't come to the harem, how can you know these harem concubines of yours? I'll call them later! â
Wei Si gestured to Zhang Xiao with his hand:
"Don't disturb them, just go over by yourself!"
After speaking, he walked over to the two women with light steps, knowing that Wei Si had been listening to the two women talking for a long time, and the two of them suddenly found that there was a man standing next to them, and this man was his husband, you, the current king of Wei.
At this time, the two girls hurriedly prepared to kneel down and salute Wei Si in fright, but were stopped by Wei Si, only to hear Wei Si say:
"Family, don't be so polite!"
After Concubine Li glanced at Wei Si nervously, she quickly lowered her head and said:
"King, why did you suddenly come to this harem garden today?"
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"The widow is a little bored today, so I came here for a walk, I didn't expect to see the two ladies chatting so happily, I don't know what the two ladies were talking about just now?"
The two girls were obviously shy at this time, and they didn't dare to look up at Wei Si, and in the end, Concubine Li replied first:
"King, Sister Qi and I were talking just now, when will we meet you, King?"
Wei Si then said:
"But what the widow just heard, you don't seem to be talking about the widow, the widow doesn't like to be deceived, especially his own family!"
Concubine Li was so frightened that she directly pulled the concubine next to her and knelt on the ground together:
"The King...... Forgiveness, O King...... Forgive me, what we just talked about is indeed a bit indecent, that's why I have to reply to you like this, the king! â
Wei Si motioned for the two of them to get up:
"Get up, don't you make an example of this kind of deception of the widow with your eyes open, you know?"
The two of them stood up.
I saw Wei Si pointing not far ahead:
"Concubine Qi, your Cuihua Garden is over there, right?"
Concubine Qi kept her head down and didn't dare to look directly at Wei Si:
"Yes, the king, it's the concubine's Emerald Flower Garden over there!"
Wei Si said to him with a smile:
"Then you take the widow to take a look, the widow has never been to your Nine Concubines Garden in addition to the queen's palace and the third lady's palace when he came to the harem?"
The expression on Concubine Qi's face seemed to be joyful, but she looked very shy:
"Okay, the concubine will take the king to my residence with Sister Concubine Li now!"
Wei Si walked to the door of Cuihuayuan with the second daughter, and after glancing at the plaque on it, he said:
"Look at this handwriting, could it be that Mengfuzi wrote it?"
Concubine Li replied:
"Yes, these nine garden plaques were all mentioned by the first king when he invited Master Meng, and the name is also from Master Meng!"
Wei Si then said:
"But now the widow only knows this Cuihua Garden and your Lvhua Garden, and the other seven gardens, the widow really doesn't know what they are called!"
Concubine Li and Concubine Qi couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly for a moment.
Wei Si was a little puzzled and asked:
"What are you laughing at?"
Concubine Li replied:
"King, although our nine concubines are all your concubines, but according to the weekly etiquette, we are all considered to be your wife, but you don't even know where your wife lives today, isn't this funny?"
Wei Si said helplessly:
"After all, the widow is busy with state affairs, so how can he have time to come to the harem?"
Concubine Qi finally spoke again at this time:
"King, since you don't know where we live, let me tell you, from the east to the west, they are: Qinxiang Garden, where lives the concubine: Seluan Garden, where lives Zhen Concubine: Zhong Yuyuan, where lives Xiao Concubine: Guxi Garden, where lives Yu Concubine: Meizi Garden, where Jiang Concubine: Jiaohuan Garden, where Xuan Concubine: The westernmost Fangzhu Garden lives Shu Concubine, and then there is Cuihua Garden and Li Huayuan of me and my sister!"
Wei Si smiled:
"I didn't expect that Meng Fuzi would have such a Yaxing before, the piano, the bells and drums are beautiful and green, how can this be a bit of a dog's skin?"
Concubine Li said on the side:
"This should be pronounced, the green and delicate Qinsecui bell and drum, right?"
Wei Si also read it and said:
"It's still not clear, don't care about the names of Meng Fuzi, take the widow in and see where you live!"
After Concubine Qi took Wei Si into the courtyard gate, there was a row of three-room houses in the innermost, and there were several low wooden houses next to each side, and at this time, the garden was already kneeling with more than a dozen young women.
After Wei Si glanced at the group of women, he found that almost all of them were about fifteen years old, so he asked Qi Concubine:
"Are they all your palace people?"
Qi Concubine replied:
"No, my lord, except for the three palace people who are sent by the concubines, the others are your wives and royal wives!"
Wei Si was taken aback:
"Then so many of them are crowded into your Cuihua Garden?"
Qi Concubine nodded:
"Yes, my lord, because the queen and the three concubines did not accept them, and they did not have their own residences, they were all assigned to live in the same garden with our nine concubines."
Wei Si sighed:
"Alas, this is a pain for you!"
After all, the queen's bedroom is more than ten times larger than this Cuihua Garden, except for the queen, there are more than a dozen palace people who serve it, and the three ladies' palaces are all five times larger than this garden, and each palace is only five or six palace people, so you can think that the treatment of the wives and concubines in this harem is very different.
Qi Concubine replied:
"We are not bitter, we are not bitter, as long as we see you, the king, it is a great honor for us people!"
éŠć« also said:
"Yes, there are many people like us, who have been in the palace for a few years, even their own husbands, what do you look like, the king, and I still don't know what you are?"
Wei Si couldn't help but sigh:
"In that case, the widow will ignore state affairs tomorrow for the time being, and accompany you in this harem!"
Concubine Li was very excited and said to Wei Si:
"My lord, is what you said true?"
Wei Si smiled:
"You don't joke, how can a widow say such blind words like you did before?"
Concubine Li was a little ashamed, but seeing that Wei Si seemed to be just joking, she came over and took the initiative to hold Wei Si's arm:
"King, everyone has just explained, what are you doing about it!"
Wei Si looked at Qi Concubine again:
"Concubine Qi, don't you come to support the widow together?"
Concubine Qi walked over to Wei Si a little shyly, and reached out very nervously to hold Wei Si's other arm.
Seeing this, Wei Si joked with Qi Concubine:
"Concubine Qi, should you learn from Concubine Li, you have been married to a widow for so long, and you are still so shy? Concubine Li doesn't look like you! â
Qi Concubine raised her head and secretly glanced at Wei Si, and lowered her head shyly:
"King, after all, it's your first time as a concubine!"
Wei Si smiled and said:
"Okay, isn't it good that the widow will come more in the future?"
Concubine Li next to her pulled Wei Si's arm with some dissatisfaction:
"Wang, you are so partial, so you promised Sister Li, you want to come to it more, you haven't been to the concubine's Lvhuayuan once?"
Wei Si comforted Concubine Li:
"Okay, that widow will definitely go to your Lvhuayuan another day!"
At this time, Wei Si had been helped into the residence of Qi Concubine by two beauties around him.
In addition to a large bed in the middle of the house, there are four or five small beds on both sides, which looks very crowded, but it looks very neat.
After Wei Si sat on Concubine Qi's bed, he asked him:
"You stay here every day?"
Concubine Qi nodded:
"Yes, King!"
Wei Si saw that there seemed to be a man's dress next to the bed, and a peony flower was embroidered on it, so he took it and asked Qi Concubine curiously:
"Why do you still have men's clothes here?"
Concubine Qi's expression was a little flustered, and she quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, this ...... This shirt is not worn by men! â
Wei Si smiled:
"Really?"
Qi Concubine replied:
"Yes!"
Wei Si sorted out the shirt and looked at it, although it looked like a man's clothes from a distance, it was indeed worn by a woman, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the peony flower embroidered on it:
"Concubine Qi, this peony flower you embroidered is really beautiful!"
Concubine Li said on the side:
"Don't you know, the king, our sister Qi's embroidery in this harem is a must, and even every time the queen wants to embroider clothes, she comes to find Sister Qi in person!"
Wei Si looked at the still shy Qi Concubine:
"Really?"
Qi Concubine replied:
"Yes, the king asked me to embroider three garments for him!"
éćŁ says:
"So that's the case, can the concubine embroider a few pieces of clothing for the widow?"
Concubine Qi's expression was a little excited:
"Of course the concubine is willing to embroider clothes for you!"
éćŁ says:
"Okay, the widow asked Zhang Xiao to send a few pieces of clothing to you to embroider a few patterns for the widow another day, but the widow still likes this peony flower!"
After speaking, he took Qi Concubine's clothes embroidered with peony flowers and admired them.
Concubine Qi suddenly got up and knelt on the ground at this time:
"My lord, can I ask you to promise me one thing?"
Wei Si was a little puzzled, and quickly helped up Qi Concubine:
"Can you just say no? Why bother, we are all family, and we are not allowed to do this in the future, you know? â
Concubine Qi nodded, and then said:
"The king, the concubine wants to beg you to have time to see the queen, the concubine heard that you haven't stepped into the queen's bedroom for half a year, I hope the king can agree to my little request of the concubine!"
