Chapter 14: Choosing a Concubine (Second Update)
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Putting down the fold in his hand, Zhu Yijun rubbed his somewhat swollen head, he was really tired!
Stretching his waist, Zhu Yijun watched the eunuchs and palace maids around him busy holding the lamp, and subconsciously touched his stomach, he was really a little hungry. Glancing back at Zhang Whale, he found that this guy seemed to be wandering outside the world.
went up and patted Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile, "What do you want?" Why are you so distracted? ”
Zhang Jing hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave is thinking about the affairs of Dongchang, and I don't know if there will be anything wrong with them going to Hebei this time. ”
Waving his hand, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "What do you want to do." ”
"As the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen, and it's useless to think about it if you can't succeed."
"It's still the emperor who can see it thoroughly, and the old slave is not as good!" Zhang Whale smiled and patted a sycophant, and then said: "Emperor, just now the people from Cining Palace came to spread the word, and the Queen Mother wants to invite Her Majesty to come over for dinner together." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's go! ”
When Zhu Yijun arrived at Cining Palace, he found that Queen Wang was also there, but compared to the previous Queen Wang, Queen Wang's eyes were red at this time, and she looked pitiful if she was wronged but I didn't say anything.
Smiled and walked to Queen Wang's side, and gently took her in her arms: "What's the matter?" Who in the palace dares to give my baby queen a grievance? Talk to me, and I'll help you clean him up. ”
Queen Wang sneered and laughed, a little embarrassed to break free from Zhu Yijun's arms, and then tears fell down: "Your Majesty, no one has wronged the concubine, but the concubine is uncomfortable." ”
"The concubine has been in the palace for so many years, and she has not been able to give birth to a prince for His Majesty, and the concubine is uncomfortable physically and mentally."
Seeing that Queen Wang looked at herself with an aggrieved face, Zhu Yijun subconsciously touched her nose, if only there was a problem, I didn't plan to get you pregnant in the past few years. Looking at the figure of Queen Wang, Zhu Yijun found that Queen Wang, who was still a little girl, is now eighteen years old.
The baby fat on the face gradually disappeared, and the body became a lot more charming.
"Okay, I'll let you give me a prince." Zhu Yijun wiped her tears with a smile and said, "Don't cry, your face is crying, it's not beautiful." ”
Queen Wang nodded, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and buried her head in Zhu Yijun's arms.
At this time, a cough sounded, Zhu Yijun turned his head to take a look, and found that Empress Dowager Li was standing expressionlessly not far away looking at the two people. Zhu Yijun didn't care, but Queen Wang was startled and hurriedly got out of Zhu Yijun's arms.
"Alright, let's eat!" Seeing that Zhu Yijun was about to salute, Empress Dowager Li waved her hand at him, turned around and said.
Pulling Queen Wang to follow, Zhu Yijun also made a grimace at her.
In fact, when Zhu Yijun saw the appearance of Queen Wang, he basically understood what was going on, and he must have said something about his own heir. This is not the first time, Zhu Yijun can understand.
Before this, Empress Dowager Li said that she was tired of being with Queen Wang all day long, but she failed to give birth to a prince, what kind of system did she become.
sat down to eat, Zhu Yijun ate like no one else, and from time to time he gave Queen Wang a dish or something. Others don't know, but Zhu Yijun knows that Queen Wang's pot is carried by herself, and she can't tell people that she gets it outside every time!
Occasionally, I coax other little girls This is the essence of heaven and earth, and it is very nutritious.
When Empress Dowager Li saw this scene, she put down her chopsticks and coughed, and said, "Emperor, the queen mother went to Ciqing Palace and discussed with the Empress Dowager Rensheng, and wanted to choose a concubine for you and match the nine concubines." ”
Choosing a concubine?
Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Queen Wang, and sure enough, when he saw her expression that she was about to cry, he immediately smiled.
It is impossible for the queen to be jealous, women in this era are still open to concubines for their husbands, not to mention that she is the queen, and it is not good to be labeled as jealous. Now that it looks like this, it is estimated that Empress Dowager Li must be talking about the heirs.
Reaching out and patting Queen Wang's hand, Zhu Yijun signaled her not to worry.
"Queen Mother, Mr. Zhang has just gone, and his sons are still familiar with the affairs of the court and China, and they are very tired every day, so they really don't have the heart to take care of the matter of choosing a concubine." Zhu Yijun said directly: "I'm saying that Mr. Zhang just went, and I just took over the government, and it is not appropriate to choose a concubine." ”
Empress Dowager Li listened to Zhu Yijun's words, was slightly stunned, and then nodded.
Originally, Empress Dowager Li wanted to let Zhu Yijun choose a concubine no matter what, and she couldn't spoil Queen Wang all day long, which was a big deal if she had no heirs.
But now that she has listened to Zhu Yijun's words, Empress Dowager Li feels that it makes sense again, and she chose a concubine as soon as she was in power, and it is really not good to hear it when it is spread out. After pondering for a moment, Empress Dowager Li said in an unquestionable tone: "Then choose a concubine next year!" ”
Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded: "Okay, all listen to the queen mother!" ”
Although Zhu Yijun agreed happily, what he was thinking about in his heart was not the matter of choosing a concubine, but the matter of making a woman pregnant. When someone is pregnant, Empress Dowager Li will not chase after her to choose a concubine for herself next year.
Zhu Yijun is really a little unconcerned about the matter of choosing a concubine, he now has four women, and he is already a little powerless.
really chose a lot of women, you can't be pampered, the harem has to be messed up. Now these four are very good, even if they want to find it in the future, there is no need for such a large-scale selection of concubines across the country.
After accompanying the Empress Dowager Li to dinner, Zhu Yijun took Queen Wang back to Kunning Palace.
This night, Zhu Yijun naturally appeased for a while, and directly appeased four times, originally Zhu Yijun still wanted to get outside, but the queen put her arms around Zhu Yijun's waist, looking resolute, looking at Zhu Yijun with tears in her eyes, Zhu Yijun could only smile bitterly and let her.
The next morning, Zhu Yijun woke up very late, although he was young and strong, and recovered quickly, he was not sleepy.
It was Queen Wang, radiant, waiting for Zhu Yijun to get dressed and eat, and the smile on her face never broke. Zhu Yijun estimated that he was fantasizing about having a child, and in desperation, Zhu Yijun left Kunning Palace after eating.
When he returned to Wenhua Palace, Zhang Jing came in to report that Wu Dui had brought Xu Wenchang here.
Zhu Yijun immediately laughed, the relationship between Wu Dui and Xu Wenchang is really good, and this is still coming, this is really afraid that Xu Wenchang will make him angry!
"Let Wu Dui go back, what will he do with him!" Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Whale with a smile, thought about it, and said with a serious face: "Wait a minute, arrange a few strong little eunuchs here, if Xu Wenchang goes crazy, hold him down." ”
It's better to do some prevention, if you really go crazy, you can't fight with a madman, isn't it, Emperor Ming fought with an old madman, how embarrassing it would be to spread it! If you lose, you don't necessarily have to be choreographed!
