Chapter 1: The Broken Flowers Bloom Again

The antique mahogany courtyard, the carved copper furnace, and the faint fragrance of potpourri are scattered in the air with the silk smoke. Far away, you can hear the chirping of birds drinking, the plum blossoms have been grateful, but there are still a few branches of bifurcated trees standing proudly, red like blood, occasionally the wind is strong, a few small petals float into the raw snow that has not yet melted, so beautiful that people can suffocate, this is the residual flower, but it is the most eye-catching.

Puppet Ji, to be precise, Dugu Puppet Ji, likes this wind festival of remnants the most.

"Miss, the carriage is waiting outside." The one who wears pink and white flowers and wears slender red bands on the left and right braids is the maid Quanzong, thirteen years old, the puppet girl's close-fitting first-class girl.

"Oh." In that white land, the red-clothed shadows that stepped in, just like the red plums flying in the snow, were so beautiful that people forgot to breathe for a while.

Puppet Ji, Zong Sheng's ten years, seventeen years old.

Her steps quickened, her burning eyes seemed to burn her out, and she stopped and turned her head.

The so-called Tsing Yi stands on the threshold, looking at each other from afar.

"I'm leaving." The smiling face of the puppet girl covered up how many vicissitudes of life, she was originally a remnant flower, but now it is blooming again, and it is more enchanting.

She is not a good woman, but she does not have the city that a bad woman should have.

She has two identities, one is a puppet and the other is a Dugu puppet.

Pawn, one of the nine officials in the upper hall.

Out of the Pawn Mansion, the puppet smiled faintly, but it was not as brilliant as before, and it was a little more gloomy.

"Miss." Izumi Zong was worried.

"I'm fine." The puppet smiled and took the red petal that had just disappeared with the wind from her red clothes and put it in the palm of her hand. His long narrow eyes became as fine as a fox, and his red lips were raised, and he raised his head gently, "It's just the beginning." ”

The Three Princes and Nine Secretaries are senior officials of the central government in China's feudal society, and its establishment began in the Qin Dynasty.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, in order to better rule the country, he began to set up the three dukes. The Three Princes refer to the Prime Minister, the Imperial Doctor, and the Imperial Lieutenant. The prime minister assists the emperor in governing the world; The Imperial Doctor is the deputy prime minister and is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials; The lieutenant presided over the military. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and also set up three dukes. In the later period of the Western Han Dynasty, the three dukes were renamed Situ, Sikong, and Sima respectively. Because this is the highest official position of the central government and has great power, in the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founding emperor Liu Xiu limited the power of the three dukes, monopolized the power, and the actual status of the three dukes began to decline.

Jiuqing is set below the three princes. The Jiuqing of the Qin Dynasty refers to the chiefs of the nine departments of Fengchang, Lang Zhongling, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Dianke, Zongzheng, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu. The Han Dynasty changed the enshrinement to Taichang, Lang Zhongling was Xingluxun, the pawn was Da Honglu, and the history of Su Nei was Dasi Nong.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the three princes and nine secretaries formed the central government, and people often used the three princes and nine secretaries to summarize the central bureaucratic system at that time.

Under the Three Princes, there are Jiuqing, which are in charge of specific administrative affairs as central administrative organs, such as sacrifices, ceremonies, military, administrative, judicial, cultural and educational, etc.

Gao Wen's good clothes. Pawn Guest, in charge of foreign affairs and ethnic affairs.

"Bang!" , The wooden table trembled slightly, and a palm wearing embroidered silk jade elbow pads slapped on the mahogany tea table, and the tea was shaken into ripples, stirring up the face of the beautiful woman who was originally reflected.

The woman in front of me, dressed in a beautiful Shu brocade dress, wearing a three-grade roses and a golden coat hood, knew that her youth had passed away at a glance, called Dugu Wai Vulture, and was originally called Mu Tai Wai Vulture, but after marrying Dugu Ziyao of the Chao Zaifu, she also followed her surname. Maybe you also understand, even if the puppet is just a person who likes to be in the house.

"Hmph." The vultures are also a simple-minded person, and it is not unreasonable for Zi Yao to like them, but the years always pass quickly, constantly washing away the remaining memories of the year until they disappear. Even though the outer eagle is the wife of the prime minister's mansion, although she carefully adjusts her skin every day, the traces left by the years cannot be hidden, and under one roof every day, the gap between her appearance and the puppet Ji and others is becoming more and more obvious, and Zi Yao gradually began to alienate the red face that she had vowed to for a lifetime.

Dugu Ziyao, the Western Han Dynasty, the head of the three dukes, was ten years old in Zongsheng, and six in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although the prime minister's harem cannot be compared with the emperor's harem, the drama of the confrontation is staged every day, and the personal position is also designated by a special person. The prime minister's wife, the honorific title of Chenhou, is also the lone vulture. One person who is one person below is honored as Chen's noble concubine, and there is no one who is in this position. There are four people who are one lower part, and they are honored as Chen Xian Concubine, Chen Liang Concubine, Chen Shu Concubine, Chen De Concubine, and there are nine Wangyi and nine beauties. Puppet Ji is one of the nine beauties, outside, the nine beauties of the Prime Minister's Mansion never look forward to publicity, so they also leave a way back for the prime minister to find some so-called "dust women", so as not to be speechless when they are spread out.

"Say, you didn't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, where did you go?"

The puppet didn't speak, just looked at the front of her faintly, faintly, there was no intersection point, the first few times, she came over like this, in the end, she didn't explain anything. Oh, maybe she can explain something, but who would believe it.

"Puppet beauty!" For the low status of a beauty, there is no title to be rewarded, just call the word.

"Huh?" The puppet was as if she had just woken up.

"Ugh." The eagle shook his head, there was really no way to take care of the little girl in front of him, he didn't take care of the prime minister on weekdays, and he had to sneak out at night, and he secretly ran back on the third watch, no one asked, but Zaifu was happy to see it, and he spoiled her more and more, and he had heard that Zaifu intended to promote her to Wangyi, "Puppet Ji, it's not that this palace is deliberately targeting, it's reminding you, since you follow the prime minister, don't want to go back to your former Yue Yage, adults don't think you come from a humble background, I don't think you've been in that innocent place for a few years, and you have to work hard to repay your adult. ”

I don't know why, every time I hear the hard work of the vulture, the puppet will not be able to make me want to laugh, if there is such a woman in this world, in order for her husband to be happy, she will come to persuade the concubine to take care of him with her heart, not to use two minds, and make her husband unhappy.

Dugu Puppet Ji remembered that this was the seventeenth time she had said this.

"The concubine retired."

The night light at dusk is very nourishing, the prime minister's mansion has been temporarily quiet, and the white cat raised by the good concubine is also lazily spread down in the lawn to rest, and the light is warm into the house, although it is not atmospheric, it also looks small and elegant.

One by one, the green falls and the yellow spring is still colorless, how to investigate the chaos of the mandarin duck and bow play? If you look at the secret of the house, it is pitiful to see the white hair through the window.

Or when he saw a good cashmere brush on the table, he was interested for a while, and wrote this poem of Wang Qi's farewell husband on the rice paper that Quanzong had put on the tribute of the Shang Fu family.

Yi's last pen took a long time, and he didn't put down the pen after writing, quietly, and didn't hear a person's breathing.

He Kan is chaotic and bowing. Wang Qi is the first lady of Li Zong's family, but she has also been humiliated to write such love poems, she is so affectionate, but now she also compares herself and her husband to the mandarin ducks that are mismatched.

"Jing is not emotional, looking at Ji'er's color, I feel quite uneasy for the house." The sound fell, the back was wrapped in warmth, the two long sleeves embroidered with silver and gold silk embroidered dragon in front of him were wrapped around the waist lined with silver and white satin, the white wool pen trembled, and a small drop of ink fell onto the mandarin word, the puppet Ji frowned slightly, but he didn't let the people behind him find out. turned around and smiled faintly, put the pen on the wooden table beside him, and wanted to call Quan Zong to serve tea, only to find that the girl had long since disappeared. Maybe she called Dugu Ziyao, but she didn't realize it, and her mind was all on poetry.

"Why did you leave the palace so early today?"
