Chapter 572: The noble concubine is in action
When I returned to my dormitory, it was already evening.
After a few bites of dinner, the noble concubine slept in her clothes.
For most of the night, the noble concubine didn't close her eyes, and she didn't fall asleep in a daze until it was almost the third watch.
After breakfast early the next morning, the noble concubine instructed the personal palace maid: "Go and call Xiaofuzi!" β
"Yes, sis!"
After the half-pillar incense time, Xiaofuzi was late.
As soon as she entered the noble concubine's bedroom, Xiao Fuzi asked, "Niangniang has thought of a solution?" β
"There is a way, but this palace has to ask you a few questions first." Concubine Gao looked at Xiao Fuzi and said.
"Niangniang, please ask, as long as you can answer, the slave has tried her best to answer."
"That's good!" Concubine Gao nodded lightly and asked, "You often follow Your Majesty, so the palace asks you, how many times has Your Majesty had sex this year?" β
"Let the minions think about it!" This question is not a taboo topic, Xiao Fuzi lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and replied: "This year, Long Live Lord has had about four or five sexual intercourse in total!" β
"Now it's almost the end of the year, according to you, Your Majesty only has sex once every two months on average?"
"Yes, sissy!"
"Then the palace will ask you again, which concubine's dormitory has His Majesty often gone to in the past year?" Concubine Gao asked again.
"The number of times the Lord has come to the harem this year is only a handful, how can there be the word 'often'?" Xiao Fuzi replied, "However, recently, it seems that the Lord Banzai likes to watch the little palace maids frolicking in the imperial garden, and sometimes it takes several hours to watch.
But fortunately, Long Live Lord is a benevolent gentleman, and he only has any other thoughts about those palace maids from an ornamental point of view. β
Listening to Xiaofuzi's words, Concubine Gao rolled her eyes in her heart, and said in her heart: "If Your Majesty is a benevolent gentleman, then there will be no dirty people in the world." β
Concubine Gao remembers very well that in the early years of Tai'an, His Majesty was a concubine who played with the harem every day, and he didn't have any thoughts of pity and cherishing jade.
Thinking of this, the noble concubine bowed her head lightly and said: "This palace already knows the solution, you go back and serve Your Majesty with peace of mind first, and after a few days, this palace will be able to solve Your Majesty's problem." β
"Then, the minions will retire first!" When Xiao Fuzi heard the great joy, he hurriedly saluted, turned around and walked out of the noble concubine's bedroom.
After Xiaofuzi left, the noble concubine sat down and took a sip of tea, and said to the personal palace maid: "If this palace is not mistaken, in three days, it will be Laba, right?" β
"Mother's good memory!" The personal palace maid complimented, "Three days later, it will be the eighth day of the lunar month!" β
"For the palace, I sent an invitation to the women of the fourth grade or above in Luoyang City, saying that the palace wants to invite all the women to enter the palace to drink Laba porridge.
As for what should be invited and what should not be invited, I guess I don't need to say anything more about this palace, right? β
"Mother, but rest assured, the slave knows who to invite!"
"That's good, this palace is a little tired, you can retreat first!"
waved his hand to drive the palace maid out of the palace, and the noble concubine reclined on the bed and slept with her clothes......
"How can it be!"
"How unreasonable!"
In the evening of the next day, at the home of Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, Zheng Yongji's wife Zhang was in a rage in the main house.
"Madame, what's the matter?" Zheng Yongji, who had just returned home from official business, asked curiously when he saw his wife's iron-blue face.
"The noble concubine is too blind!" Zhang said angrily, "There are two more days to be the eighth day of the lunar month, and she wants to invite the women of the fourth grade or above in the court to enter the palace to drink Laba porridge, but there is no part of the old woman, do you say that you are angry?" β
"I've heard about it, too!" Zheng Yongji said, "But I'm listening to someone outside, isn't there an invitation from Zhou's side?" β
Don't mention the daughter-in-law Zhou, when it comes to the Zhou family, Zhang's is even more angry, "Yes, she has invitations, but my wife and I don't even have a fart!" β
"Madame, why do you become more naΓ―ve the older you get?" Seeing Zhang's reaction, Zheng Yongji couldn't cry or laugh a little, "Zhou is also our daughter-in-law, what is the difference between her entering the palace and you entering the palace?" β
"Of course it's different!" Zhang said angrily, "Our son is a sesame petty official from the fifth grade, the Zhou family entered the palace, after she entered the palace, in front of a group of women with more than four grades, can she have a part in speaking?" β
"What do you mean by that?" Zheng Yongji frowned slightly, "The old man is the first assistant of the cabinet, who would dare to offend our family?" β
"This time it's different!" Zhang's face was still very ugly, "This time, the wife entered the palace to drink laba porridge, and she was going to take her daughter who was not out of the cabinet with her."
The concubine has already sent people to inquire about several other houses, and they all said that they meant that the noble concubine wanted to bring her daughter who had not left the cabinet into the palace together.
The concubine felt that this might be the noble concubine who was going to choose a concubine for the second prince!
In this way, for the sake of your daughter's future, don't say that you are only the head of the cabinet now, even if you are the head of the national government, people will not exclude you? β
"The noble concubine wants to choose a concubine for the second prince?" Hearing the news from his wife's mouth, Zheng Yongji couldn't help but be stunned, then reacted, nodded and said, "Yes, the second prince is about to become an adult, and he has reached the age of engagement." β
"It's really because of this that the concubine is anxious!" Zhang complained, "Our daughter has been in the palace for so many years, and finally gave birth to the eighth prince for His Majesty.
However, the eighth prince is too young, and he is afraid that he will completely lose the throne.
Therefore, we can only pin all our hopes on our granddaughter. The son is so uncompetitive, and now he is a sesame petty official from the fifth grade.
Once you retire from the cabinet, I'm afraid that our family will decline! β
"It's not as exaggerated as you say!" Zheng Yongji said disapprerovingly, "Although our son is not successful, isn't there still a noble concubine and the eighth prince?"
When the eighth prince goes to the fief when he becomes an adult, when the time comes, he directly asks his son to resign and go to the fiefdom of the eighth prince, and go to run errands for the eighth prince.
At that time, the concubine Niangniang and the eighth prince can still treat her own brother and uncle badly? β
"What do you say, but now the eighth prince hasn't been canonized, right?" Zhang said: "Nowadays, good fiefs are given to the older princes.
I'm afraid that when the Eighth Prince grows up, there will only be some places where birds don't poop for the Eighth Prince to be a fief! β
Speaking of this, the Zhang family was even more angry, "You said that you are also the head of the cabinet and the head of the civil ministers, why don't you leave a good fief for the eighth prince?" β
Seeing that he was stunned by himself as he spoke, Zheng Yongji couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to cry and laugh: "Madam, how can the affairs of the court be as simple as you think?"
But there is one thing that the old man has prepared in advance! β
Seeing Zheng Yongji say this, the Zhang family became serious and asked, "Master, what are you preparing for, but you want the eighth prince to change fiefs with several other older princes?" β
"How can it be as simple as you say?" Zheng Yongji shook his head and said, "What the old man means is that as long as there are no accidents, the position of the prince of our Great Zhou will be born between the second prince and the third prince, and the second prince may be greater."
You said that once the second prince is canonized as the prince, won't Borneo, the fief of the second prince, be empty......"
