Then Yun Xi asked the little eunuch around him to take Li Jiqian to the palace where the concubine received the foreign man, and sent someone to inform Li Sha'er and Xi Yao about this - Xi Yao has to know such a thing as a queen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Xi then went to the dormitory to rest for a while, and then went to answer the never-ending recital.

……

……

When the eunuch sent by Yunxi found Li Sha'er, she was instructing her subordinates to decorate the courtyard in her courtyard. She was born at sea, and was influenced by the layout of the boudoir of many sea people's daughters, and had her own unique habits of arranging rooms, which was quite uncomfortable when she was separated.

At first, she was worried that her rash change of decoration would make Yunxi unhappy, but her personality developed from a childhood with pirates made her can't help but talk to Yunxi about it.

Of course, Yunxi will not object. Li Sha'er attracted him the most is the independent character of the children of the sea and the style that is not similar to everyone's ladies, and although he has seen the captured pirate ship in Shanghai, he has never seen what the female pirate's house looks like, so he agreed to Li Sha'er's request.

Li Sha'er was naturally overjoyed, and immediately began to rearrange her courtyard. At this time, she jumped up and down with something in her hand, and instructed the palace maid.

When the little eunuch came, he heard her say, "Hang that one on the top, that is, on the top, find a ladder to come......"

But after listening to the words of the little eunuch, she didn't care about decorating her boudoir at all, and a pair of Danfeng eyes opened round and said, "This is true!" ”

After getting the little eunuch's affirmative answer, Li Sha'er casually threw the ornament to the ground, and was about to go to see Li Jiqian, but was stopped by the palace maid with a lot of strength - Li Sha'er has a lot of strength, and she knows martial arts, and after defeating the two palace maids, she was hugged by the other palace maids and couldn't move.

The female officer who was sent to her side said: "Niangniang, why don't you change your clothes and go to see your uncle again, you are wearing household clothes now, and it is not suitable for visitors." ”

Li Sha'er really couldn't break free, so she could only accept their persuasion, and went back to the house to change her clothes before going to see Li Jiqian.

After their brother and sister met, Li Jiqian shouted: "Sister! And he couldn't help crying; Li Sha'er's eyes were already a little red, and she cried when she saw her brother shed tears.

It took a while for the two of them to stop their tears and talk to each other about what happened after they parted last year. Li Jiqian briefly talked about his affairs in Nanyang, and then asked, "Sister, how are you doing in the palace?" ”

Li Sha'er wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been very kind to me, and has sent many servants to serve me, and the largest family I have ever seen does not have so many servants; Your Majesty comes to my palace about once every three or four days these days, and tells me about the sea, and listens to me play the transverse flute, which I used to learn about when I was bored on the ship, and you know about it. I also know that I don't play the transverse flute very well, and I can't compare with the excellent Ling who specializes in learning the transverse flute in the Teaching Division, but Your Majesty likes it very much. ”

"There is also food and clothing, all of which are excellent, even brother, you often boast about the days under Zhang Shicheng. ……”

Li Jiqian carefully observed his sister: he naturally knew that it was impossible for Li Sha'er to say that her life in the palace was bad, but he could see the difference between reluctantly saying good things and saying good things from the heart, and his sister would not hide it in front of him.

After careful observation, he found that his sister did have a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, and it was obvious that she was living a good life, and she was happier than when she was in Shanghai before, and even when she was a pirate, and she let go of most of her heart.

After their brother and sister talked a lot, it was not until it was almost dark that Li Sha'er reluctantly sent him away, and before leaving, she also instructed: "The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when you are allowed to meet your relatives, brother, you were sent to the right guard of the water division, and you do not live in the city, so you will enter the palace on the fifteenth day of each month to see your sister." ”

"There are also sisters-in-law and little nephews, hurry up and bring them to the capital from Shanghai."

"I can save it, buy a house in the city in two days, and then ask someone to take them over." Li Jiqian said.

The two reluctantly said a few words, and Li Sha'er sent him out of this place dedicated to meeting foreign men, and did not return to his courtyard until he could not see his brother's back.

Because of the restrictions on receiving male relatives, they could only meet in this special palace and were served by the eunuchs here, so not every concubine who could see their brothers, fathers and nephews saw them every month, except for one person.

"That's, Concubine Yun?" Xi Yao said in an uncertain tone, looking at the somewhat blurred figure in the dim sunset.

"It's Yun Concubine, Niangniang." Zhiyi said.

"Bengong remembers that she was born in the rest of Zhang Shicheng, and her relatives are all in Shanghai or fighting in Nanyang, who is she seeing?" Xi Yao asked.

"Niangniang, the sailor who went to Nanyang to fight has returned, and Yun Concubine's own brother has also returned, and he also met His Majesty in the afternoon, probably because he asked to see Yun Concubine, or it may be that Yun Concubine knew that his brother had returned to Beijing to ask His Majesty for permission to see his brother, so they met here today." Zhiyi said. She is very concerned about every important concubine in the palace, carefully collects information about them and their families, and pays great attention to updating.

"And this person named Li Jiqian was also sent by His Majesty to serve as the right guard of the water division as a thousand households." She continued.

"Is it the right guard of the sailor, not the left guard? Are you sure? Xi Yao asked.

"Yes, Niangniang, I repeatedly asked the little eunuch who was serving in the Qianqing Palace, who was the right guard of the water master." Zhiyi replied.

"That's fine." Xi Yao said. His own brother is a thousand households in the left guard of the water division, and he can't meet Li Jiqian. Otherwise, the two of them would be embarrassed to see it.

At the mention of Xi Ran, Xi Yao remembered what she had just said to her two siblings, and she had met them just now.

Xue Xiran told her that her father had recovered, which made her finally let go of her worries. It wasn't until Xue Xian's condition was okay that Yun Xi told her that her father had been seriously ill. Although she understood that her mother, brothers, and slaves were all well-intentioned, she and her parents, brothers and sisters had lived together as a family since childhood, and their relationship was very good, so she was still angry and punished those around her who knew about it.

The second news brought by Xue Xiran was that his father's concubine gave birth to another girl, named Xue Xiling.

Before she entered the palace, Xue Xian had never accepted a concubine, and he couldn't afford the cost of taking a concubine with his money; But since their sisters entered the palace, his family's life has obviously been much more prosperous, and he has to be very reused, so he has two concubines and a concubine; This time there is another concubine.

Of course, Xiyao was dissatisfied with her father's concubine, but she couldn't think about it either; Fortunately, the mother Wang family has the support of their sisters, and after selling a concubine, the other concubines did not dare to make a mistake, and the father did not dare to speak for the concubine.

After talking about the things at home, Xiyao asked about other things.

"Big brother, are you still used to it in the left guard of the water division?" Xi Yao asked.

"Habit, I'm completely used to being on the boat now, and if I stay on the boat all the time, they say I might get sick from the road." Xue Xiran said with a smile.

"Big brother, I always feel that there is no better way to be on the sea, in case the ship capsizes and there is no room to escape, I should talk to Your Majesty and return to the Lu Division." Xi Yao said with some concern.

"How can this be done, Your Majesty naturally has a purpose in putting me in the Water Division, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to refute your face and agree, won't I be busy in the Water Master for the past two years?" Xue Xiran said.

"Moreover, now there are 'lifeboats' on board, and if the ship is in danger of capsizing, you can put down the lifeboat and leave the ship, and the danger is not great."

"Lifeboats? What is it? Xi Yao asked.

"It was proposed by His Majesty before the departure of the sailors in the first year of Jianye, in order to protect high-grade generals and special talents, they are usually hung on big ships and used to escape in emergencies." Xue Xiran replied.

Xiyao was not interested in lifeboats, and when she saw that her brother insisted on being in the sailor, she couldn't persuade her anymore and talked to her younger brother.

"Xi Yang," Xi Yao said seriously: "But you must study hard, it's November 15, and the college exam will be in mid-February next year, but you must not relax." ”

"Of course my brother won't let up, eldest sister." Xue Xiyang said in a flirtatious tone.

"It's not on the right track!" Xi Yao glanced at him, and then said: "According to your level, a Xiucai is about to be able to catch it, but the higher the ranking, the better." ”

"I'm discussing with my eldest brother, and when you get into the show, I will send you to study in the country. All the gentlemen of Guozijian are well-educated, and it is good for you to improve your knowledge. ”

"Besides, I probably know a little bit about the use of people born in the imperial examination in Your Majesty's heart, and the restrictions are quite large, if you can't enter the center, the future is not good; On the contrary, the students of Guozijian have a bright future in the future. Of course, the competition in the Guozijian is fierce, and those who come out may be far inferior to the imperial examination jinshi, and most of them are officials such as county officials and county commanders. ”

"You will definitely be born from the imperial examination in the future, but you will study and study in the Guozijian, and you will be the best of both the imperial examination and the Guozijian, although Your Majesty will not let you be the fourth auxiliary official or the six Shangshu and the imperial history in the future, but whether it is the center or the locality, it is better to have the experience of studying in the Guozijian."

Xue Xiyang agreed one by one, but asked, "What does Your Majesty plan to use for the imperial examination jinshi?" ”

"I can't tell you that!" Xi Yao said solemnly: "Your Majesty hasn't finished brewing yet, I just know a rough idea, don't talk nonsense when you go out!" ”

Xue Xiyang saw that his sister's face was solemn, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, I must not talk nonsense." Xi Yao was still not at ease, and told him a few words seriously.

Xi Yao looked at his younger brother's face as he seriously gambled and swore an oath, and suddenly realized that his younger brother was not young, he was already fifteen years old, and he was already fifteen years old, and he said with a smile: "There is another thing that you need to pay more attention to, big brother." My brother is now fifteen years old, and it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, even if he's not in a hurry, it's time to look at each other. ”

When this topic was mentioned, Xue Xiyang was a little shy and did not speak. Xue Xiran said: "Show him at home." It's just that it's not sure whether he will marry a civil official or the daughter of a military general; It stands to reason that it is better to take the daughter of a civil official, but our family does not know a few civil officials. ”

"That's a problem." Xi Yao muttered, "I want to think about which family has a suitable daughter." ”

She couldn't remember for a while, and said, "You guys pay attention, and I think too." ”

After that, they said a few more things, because it was almost dark, Xue Xiran retreated with Xue Xiyang, and Xiyao also returned to Kunning Palace.
