Ladies and gentlemen, here we will put aside the cool officials and unjust cases, and then tell a story of a handsome young student, so that you can relax and relax.

The emperors of all dynasties had harems, and there were thousands of concubines at every turn, because the lord was dying in the world and rich all over the world! Since Empress Wu has become the heroine of the Tang Dynasty, will she have a harem?

The answer is yes, but she knows how to be self-disciplined and self-controlled, and firmly controls all kinds of desires within a reasonable range. That's why she became a saint.

Her harem is not called a male concubine, nor is it called a fruit concubine, a Yong concubine or a Yi concubine, but a male pet, because history is written by men, so you have to take care of men's face! Okay, let's get down to business.

In the east of Luoyang, craftsmen are building a mansion. The mansion is tall, the courtyard is wide, there are mountains and rivers in it, there are gardens and fruit forests, there are pavilions and pavilions, red pillars and green tiles, it looks rich and gorgeous.

Craftsman Miao Daxing took a piece of log, cut the wood with a saw, cut the wood straight with an axe, and then flattened the surface of the wood with a planer, and then used an ink fountain to draw ink, measured and corrected the angle with a Luban ruler, chiseled a hole with a chisel and made a groove, and finally built several pieces of wood together through the twist and tenon structure, which was stronger than an iron nail.

Miao Daxing's frames, stools, desks, beds, catteries, kennels, etc., which are very exquisite and sturdy, are appreciated by the owners of mansions.

A young man watched patiently, sometimes picking up an axe and saw. Miao Daxing pointed out: "Xiaobao, you have the wrong posture to hold the saw, you should take it like this!" After speaking, he showed him the gesture.

The young man's name is Feng Xiaobao, Miao Daxing's nephew, about 1.8 meters tall, ruddy and healthy skin, muscular and strong, handsome with a hint of wind and frost, and his eyes are full of emotion.

He traveled around with his uncle, learned to do all kinds of carpentry work, could make a little mortise and tenon structure furniture, and saw a lot of mansions and pavilions, but he was not interested in this, but led soldiers to fight and start a family, so he always wanted to live independently and get rid of his uncle's restrictions.

After the Qingming Festival, the weather is fine, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Feng Xiaobao said goodbye to his uncle, carried a sack, and went to Songshan to collect medicine, and traveled by the way.

When passing through the Shaolin Temple, he went to the Daxiong Hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying to meet a good daughter-in-law, when drawing lots, he drew the peach blossom fortune lot, destined for him to commit the peach blossom, must hand over the peach blossom luck.

Feng Xiaobao was secretly happy in his heart, silently reciting the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the spirit multiplied, and he struggled to move forward. Along the way, I crossed the mountains and mountains, walked the river and sand, and picked Chinese herbs such as nightshade, wild perilla, wormwood, dandelion, elm, fragrant ru, and aster.

He climbed a mountain and passed a bush when he suddenly encountered a poisonous snake hanging from a branch in front of him, spitting out letters at him. He hurriedly stepped back, accidentally stepped into the air, and slid down the hill, and with one hand he grabbed the branch of the bush and stopped the slide.

He kicked his feet, bowed his waist, and climbed up the mountain. Unexpectedly, his clothes were caught by raspberry thorns, and he couldn't climb at all, so when he turned around to pick them, he punctured his hand again.

Feng Xiaobao was in a hurry, struggled hard, and tore a large piece of his clothes, only then did he break free and climb up the hill. He walked down the hill and met an old man who was picking herbs in the area.

The old man's beard and hair were all half white, his body looked quite strong, and he walked like the wind. When he saw Feng Xiaobao, he cleaned up enthusiastically and said, "Hello young man, what are you doing on the mountain alone?" ”

Feng Xiaobao replied: "I'm here to collect medicine from the mountain!" The old man saw that his fingers were bleeding and his clothes were torn again, and he said with concern: "It is very dangerous for a person to go up the mountain to collect medicine, there are cliffs and cliffs everywhere, and there are poisonous snakes, centipedes, and wild boars, be careful!" ”

Feng Xiaobao said: "Well, I will pay attention!" The old man opened his sack and looked at it, laughed, and said, "Haha, young man, these herbs you have picked are all roadside goods, and they can't be sold for a price!" ”

Feng Xiaobao said embarrassedly: "I only recognize these herbs, and I don't know how to pick them!" The old man smiled and said, "You worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you, how about it?" ”

Feng Xiaobao was worried that no one would take him, and when he heard the great joy, he knelt down and bowed: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" The old man was also very happy, and helped him up and said, "Okay, good, the young man has no shelf, and he is willing to worship me as a teacher, so I will accept you as an apprentice!" Hehe. ”

Feng Xiaobao asked: "May I ask the master's surname, where is the immortal residence?" The old man stroked his beard and said, "My name is Wei Shifang, and I live near Huishan Temple. What is the apprentice's name and where does he live? ”

Feng Xiaobao replied: "The apprentice's name is Feng Xiaobao, and he followed his uncle to Luoyang to do carpentry. ”

Wei Shifang said: "If Xiaobao doesn't return to Luoyang for the time being, come to my house to rest, and I will teach you all kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicines!" "Yes, yes!" Feng Xiaobao said happily.

So, Wei Shifang took Feng Xiaobao down the hillside, and pointed him out along the way to know ginseng, houttuynia cordata, rehmannia root, forsythia, astragalus, white peony, skullcap, cassia seed, seven-leaf flower and other precious Chinese medicinal materials.

Back home, Wei Shifang sent a piece of linen cloth to Feng Xiaobao to cover his body, and cooked for him to eat. Feng Xiaobao stayed at his house, followed him to learn how to pick Chinese herbs, and asked him about the types, efficacy, picking methods and taking methods of Chinese herbs, and he patiently answered them one by one, which benefited Feng Xiaobao a lot.

After staying for a while, Feng Xiaobao said goodbye to Wei Shifang and returned to Luoyang, sleeping in the open along the way, picking a sack of precious Chinese herbs along the way.

In the blink of an eye, it was the early summer of the first year of the vertical arch, Luoyang Market.

A tall and handsome young man opened the sack, placed some Chinese herbs, animal bones, and dried insects on the ground, and then lifted the gong and knocked it a few times, shouting loudly: "Sell Chinese herbs, sell pure natural Chinese herbs picked from Zhongyue, everyone come and buy Chinese herbs!" ”

"The Chinese herbal medicine has the miraculous effect of strengthening the body, invigorating blood circulation, nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys, regulating blood and nourishing menstruation, and can treat mosquito bites, bruises, muscle and bone pain, rheumatism, bruises, typhoid fever and cold."

"I used the Chinese herbal medicine on my forehead, so that you don't have a sore waist, no leg pain, no panting when you go upstairs, and no cramps when you go to the ground, which is really a must-have medicine for home travel!"

At this time, some people gathered around to watch the excitement. The young man lifted a stick again, gestured a few times, and said loudly: "Feng Xiaobao, a grass man, a native of Juxian County, a newcomer to Baodi, is sparse in life, has no relatives and friends, and has no support, please have money and no money!" ”

After speaking, Feng Xiaobao carried a stick and made a move to sweep away the thousands of troops, followed by two moves, Breaking Yue and chasing the heart, and finally came a beautiful three kills, which attracted everyone to cheer in unison. Feng Xiaobao put down the stick, picked up a big bowl and walked in front of everyone, everyone threw copper coins into it, and Feng Xiaobao bowed.

A person suddenly put a large handful of copper coins into the bowl, Feng Xiaobao looked up in surprise, it turned out to be a gorgeously dressed maid, and smiled at him, Feng Xiaobao quickly bowed and thanked him.

Then, Feng Xiaobao beckoned everyone to look at the medicine. He said: "This is the skin of the bones, after everyone goes back and frying it in salt water, scrub the limbs while it is hot, which can enhance the ability to resist bruises." After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick and sturdy arms and arms, and continued: "Do you see it, I often scrub this on my forehead, and now I am not afraid to fight." ”

Someone paid for a catty, and the gorgeously dressed maid looked at it for a while and left. When it was time to eat, Feng Xiaobao put away the stall and walked back.

Passing by a luxury hotel in Luoyang South City, Feng Xiaobao saw the gentlemen drinking and having fun with the courtesans in their arms, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, what people have is the background, and what they have is just the back." Although he is in the rivers and lakes, there is no legend about the rivers and lakes! ”

The next day, Feng Xiaobao went to yesterday's place to set up a stall again, and shouted like yesterday.

After Feng Xiaobao played with the stick, he began to beckon everyone to buy medicine: "Let's see, this is Dilong, Chuanxiong, Nameless, Frankincense, Myrrh, Blood Exhaustion and Wood Turtle Kernel. Grinding these medicines into fine powder, refining honey into pills, and taking them with rice wine, can relax the tendons and channels, relieve pain, and strengthen the body! ”

Passers-by have paid for it, and yesterday the gorgeously dressed maid took out a piece of silver, bought a large bag of Chinese herbal medicine, and turned around and left with the package. Feng Xiaobao felt that something seemed wrong with the silver, and shouted to the maid: "Lady come back, the silver you gave is fake, it is a tin block." ”

Feng Xiaobao chased after the maid and stopped the maid's way, and said loudly: "I can tolerate that the body is fake, the face is fake, and the chest is fake, but I can't tolerate the silver is fake!" ”

The maid exclaimed, "Is it fake?" I don't know, what should I do? I don't have any more silver! As he spoke, he searched his pocket, no, and said, "Why don't you invite Lang Jun to go home with me, and I will give you real silver." ”

Feng Xiaobao had to agree, put away his belongings and go home with her. The two walked to Shanglinfang, entered through the side door of a mansion, walked through the corridor, garden, and arrived at a remote wing room.

The maid led Feng Xiaobao into the room and knelt on the dragon beard seat, but she was not in a hurry to take out the silver, but brought him a cup of floating ant green wine to quench his thirst. After drinking, he bathed and changed his clothes, and took off his gauze skirt, revealing his green gauze pants, and fell into his arms. At this time, men who don't understand amorous customs can also understand.

After resting for a while, the maid entered Luo Silk and Gu Xiang Soup, washed and tidied, then opened the flower box, changed the skirt, faced the treasure mirror, and re-applied makeup.

Feng Xiaobao sat on the couch and had an endless aftertaste, and wandered with the maid for a long time, and it was difficult to give up. Finally, ask each other for their names and leave their contact information.

The maid Fang was named Cuifei, and took out real silver to Feng Xiaobao, Xiaobao didn't accept it, and said: "Don't, you are a woman, it's not easy to make money, what you have is strength, you can work to make money to support your family." Knowing you is the amount of luck, this year's Qingming Festival to the Shaolin Temple incense lottery, said that the amount to go to the peach blossom luck, it turned out to be on you! ”

Cui Fei smiled and said, "Lang Jun has gone to the peach blossom luck, and I have also gone to the peach blossom luck." I owe you the money, so take it and come back next time!" ”

Feng Xiaobao had no choice but to accept the silver, saying that he would come often. Since then, the two have often dated in the west wing of the mansion. That mansion was the mansion of the princess.

What is the origin of the princess? She is the eighteenth daughter of Gaozu Li Yuan, a few years younger than Ah Wu, but she is Li Zhi's aunt and Ah Wu's elder!

Princess Qianjin first married Wen Ting, the assassin of Yanzhou, and after Wen Ting's death, she married Zheng Jingxuan and gave birth to her son Zheng Keyi. Her sister is the princess Changle who appeared earlier.

Princess Changle's baby daughter Zhao Wenying, Princess Zhou of Zhou, was imprisoned and starved to death by Empress Wu because of laziness, and her husband Zhao Gui was demoted to the rank of Kuozhou Assassin, and she herself was ordered to leave the palace and accompany her, never to pay homage.

The princess was frightened when she saw her sister's tragic experience, and since then she has devoted herself to currying favor with her younger generation Awu. She and Ah Wu are close in age, of course, they can find common topics and interests, and Ah Wu often feels lonely after being widowed, and it is impossible to ask for an elderly partner to talk to.

One night, after the martial arts, he went to the Zhenguan Hall to rest, and saw that the bed in the temple was still there, but the people were gone, not only was he sad, but he sighed: "Pheasant slave, where are you?" The concubine misses you so much. It's not because I'm lonely that I miss you, but because I miss you. When the tears fall, all the scenery is silent! ”

Empress Wu wandered in the hall, shedding tears, seeing things and thinking about people, and sighed: "Pheasant slave, are you okay in heaven?" With your days, how calm everything is. After you left, for three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind and frost and the sword were strictly pressing. The concubine is so hard! ”

At this time, the many lights on the hall flashed, and the Empress Dowager Wu suddenly looked back, but saw the figure of the pheasant slave appearing in the lamplight, telling her about her longing.

The next morning, the princess told Cuifei: "I will go to the palace immediately, and you go to Nanshi to buy some mutton, acacia nectar and Anxi pressed cakes!" Cui Fei asked curiously: "Why do you want to buy Anxi pressed cake?" ”

Princess Qianjin replied with a smile: "Stupid girl, Anxi pressed cake has an indescribable taste in addition to deliciousness. Haven't you heard of it if you experience it on your own? You can buy a house in Bingzhou with a bite of Anxi pressed cake, start with two bites of Anche, and eat three bites of everything in your dreams! ”

Cui Fei said: "Ah, the slave maid remembered that the value of the Anxi pressed cakes circulating in the north and south cities of Luoyang is enough to buy the entire Qingzhou!" The slave and the maid will go and buy it. ”

Princess Qianjin came to the Wucheng Hall of Taichu Palace to greet Empress Wu. Empress Wu had just finished dressing up while sitting on the Hu bed, her eyes were still slightly red and swollen, and she exchanged a few words with Princess Qianjin, and then invited Princess Qianjin to have breakfast together. After breakfast, the two went for a walk outside the temple together.

Princess Qianjin accompanied Empress Dowager Wu as she walked and said, "Your Majesty's spirit seems to have not been very good recently? "Hmm." Empress Wu snorted.

Princess Qianjin said: "Your Majesty and the concubine are both women who have passed menopause, if you don't pay attention to conditioning, your health will plummet." "Oh? Is it? "Empress Wu is very interested.

"The concubine recently consulted the imperial doctor, read a lot of medical books, and has a lot of experience in the health care of elderly women." Princess Qianjin said. "I'd love to hear about it." Empress Wu said.

Princess Qianjin said: "Your Majesty and the concubine's physical health problems are mainly menopausal symptoms, skin wrinkles and osteoporosis, people will eventually get old day by day, at this time to maintain an optimistic mental state and good living habits for women to go through menopause is very necessary, and at the same time to eat more calcium-rich foods to prevent osteoporosis." Your Majesty's skin is also a little loose, and the concubine has a good way! ”

Empress Wu asked urgently: "What is the method?" ”

The princess replied: "Pour a small amount of rice wine into the bathtub, and then pour hot water, and people will soak in it for a while, and it will be very comfortable after bathing." Washing a few times will make the skin smooth, moisturized and elastic. ”

Empress Wu said happily: "Really? After that, I bathed in this way. ”

Princess Qianjin said proudly: "The concubine also has a trick, that is, mash the orange peel, soak it in alcohol, and after seven days, it can be used as anti-wrinkle water, and regular application can lubricate the skin." ”

Empress Wu nodded and praised: "Okay, it seems that the princess does have a unique research on health care!" ”

After saying goodbye to Wu, Princess Qianjin returned to Shanglinfang Mansion. The maid served a warm five-flower drink, and the princess took a sip, wanting to eat Anxi pressed cake, but she didn't see the figure of Cui Fei, so she looked everywhere.

It turned out that after Cuifei went to Nanshi to buy mutton, acacia nectar and Anxi pressed cakes, she walked straight across the pontoon bridge to Beishi, and found Feng Xiaobao, who was selling Chinese herbal medicine, and the two went back to the mansion together for a date.

When the two of them were talking to me, they suddenly heard the call of the princess, and they immediately panicked, not knowing what to do?

The princess ordered the maid to knock on the door, and Peng Pengpeng made a shocking sound. Cui Fei had no choice but to open the door.

The princess rushed in to take a look, and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's stealing!" I said, why don't you say yes for a long time, you slut, should you fight? Say it yourself! Cuifei was so frightened that her face turned blue.

Feng Xiaobao held his head high, stepped forward to defend Cuifei and said: "It's none of her business, everything is done by E, and she has to beat and scold her!" If you don't fight back, you don't scold back, but if you hit Cuifei, you will never agree! ”

Seeing him standing in front of him like a door god, tall and burly, with a loud voice and full of energy, Princess Qianjin was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and after standing firmly, she carefully looked at Feng Xiaobao.

I saw that he was more than six feet tall, about twenty years old, wearing a round-necked robe, a leno head, and a cowhide belt, a sheep's horn beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, strong skin, and a heroic spirit, like an independent lone pine.

Princess Qianjin intuitively felt that this person was very useful and could be recruited, but she didn't know what his temper was, and he needed to be tested.

She decided to do this work herself, if it is suitable, she can recommend it to the Queen Mother, not only to please the Queen Mother, but also to protect herself, this humble person will also thank herself after becoming rich, and count it in one fell swoop, isn't it wonderful?

Thinking of this, Princess Qianjin calmed down her anger and said to Cui Fei with a smile on her face: "Girl, I miss your first offense, I won't punish this matter today, why don't you hurry up and introduce this strong man to me?" His honorific name, family background, and resume? ”

Cui Fei came one by one, and the princess nodded with satisfaction, and asked Feng Xiaobao to rest in the guest room. Then he rewarded her and told her to do something else.

Feng Xiaobao bathed and changed his clothes under the attendants of several maids, and then ate a large bowl of shredded noodles with mushrooms and kelp. Seeing that he was eating with relish, Princess Qianjin asked curiously, "Xiaobaowa, what kind of noodles are you eating?" ”

Feng Xiaobao replied: "It's not noodles that I eat, it's loneliness!" Princess Qianjin sat down beside him with a smile, hooked her shoulders, and said, "If you follow me in the future, you won't be lonely." ”

Feng Xiaobao felt a little hot all over, and said with a red face: "I don't know what your lady is called?" What is the use of taking care of small people? ”

The maid next to her interjected and said, "Your lady and master are the famous princesses, and this is the princess's mansion." ”

Feng Xiaobao was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Princess Qianqian, please forgive Xiaomin for the sin of not knowing Mount Tai!" ”

Princess Qianjin giggled, lifted Feng Xiaobao's chin with her hand, and asked, "Xiaobao, how did you live your days wandering on the rivers and lakes?" ”

Feng Xiaobao sighed: "Hey, don't mention it, there is no rehearsal in Xiaomin's life, every day is a live broadcast, not only the ratings are extremely low, but the salary is not high, and it is pitiful!" ”

Princess Qianjin giggled, grabbed Feng Xiaobao's arm, and said, "In the future, if you follow me, you will be able to eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, take a carriage, live in a big house, and get a high salary!" ”

Feng Xiaobao kowtowed and said, "Thank you, princess." In the future, the princess asked Xiaomin to go to Dao Mountain, Xiaomin would never dare to go down to Yellow Mountain, and Xiaomin would never dare to go down to the sea of fire, and Xiaomin would never dare to go to the East China Sea. ”

Princess Qianjin nodded with satisfaction, pulled Feng Xiaobao up, and said, "You kid, not only gave birth to a good skin, but also has a sweet mouth, hahaha!" Starting today, this princess has officially hired you as a waitress! ”

After being hired for half a month, Princess Qianjin was very satisfied with Feng Xiaobao's service, and felt that his comprehensive quality was very high, well-behaved and obedient, and he could pay tribute, so she went to the palace to meet Empress Wu.

Coming to the Imperial Garden, Princess Qianjin and Empress Wu took a walk and said, "Your Majesty, have you also had a problem with menopausal blood?" Empress Wu nodded.

"This is due to irregular changes in the menstrual cycle, menstrual period, and menstrual flow caused by endocrine dysfunction. At this age, the ovarian function is also gradually declining, fertility is gradually lost, and the ability to live is gradually declining. ”

Empress Wu sighed and said, "Hey, the princess really said that she was in my heart. A woman of this age will really suddenly feel that she has lost interest in life, and she does not have the passion of the past, and as her body ages day by day, she feels like a walking corpse! ”

Princess Qianjin smiled and said, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so desperate. A woman of this age can also find fun, Your Majesty is in a good period of sunset, there is no task of having children, and there is no need to personally raise husbands and children, support the elderly, ask for money, have power, it is a good time to enjoy the fruitful fruits of life, isn't it? If Your Majesty misses this wonderful time, you will definitely regret it in the future! ”

Empress Dowager Wu glanced at Princess Qianjin, held the princess's hand and said with a smile: "You must have thought of some kind of ghost idea, you are fighting my bad idea!" ”

Princess Qianjin said: "Your Majesty, look at those rich men, which one is not a polygamous wife? Which one is not surrounded by a crowd of beautiful women? ”

"Your Majesty is a phoenix, worshiped by all birds, and should have physical and spiritual solace and enjoy a happy life. Delaying aging and rejuvenation is the best health care prescription! ”

Empress Dowager Wu stopped, admired the surrounding geraniums, peonies, and moon flowers, as well as pairs of butterflies, and said, "I understand what the princess means, so do as you say, and your benefits are indispensable!" ”

The princess happily said goodbye and returned home. Find out what's next, and listen to the next breakdown!
