Chapter 998 Weird
Ren Erxi and Wu Ermao both left happily, and when China was founded, their status seemed to be more important.
After the two said goodbye, it was already past dinner time, and Li Zicheng, under the service of Gao Guiying and others, hurriedly had dinner, and then was busy with the affairs of the harem.
Gao Guiying and the others came to Jingshi, it is impossible for them all to live in the Qianqing Palace, in addition to the Kunning Palace, there are six palaces in the east and west, and there are enough palaces for them to live.
Perhaps knowing their fate, before Li Zicheng returned to Beijing, they had already cleaned all the palaces with the help of eunuchs and palace maids, just waiting for Li Zicheng's meaning.
When Gao Guiying was in Xi'an, she had already been made the queen, and this time she naturally stayed in Kunning Palace, and Li Zicheng also allocated him four eunuchs and four palace maids.
In Gao Guiying's heart, eight people serving her are too extravagant, she has always followed Li Zicheng's instructions, plus she was born in a peasant family, whether it is in Xining, Lanzhou, or Xi'an, as long as she can do it, she will do it herself, but compared with the palace of the Ming Dynasty, such a service staff is not even as good as the concubine of Cining Palace.
Li Na (Namu Zhong) is Concubine Mu, the second lady second only to Gao Guiying, who lives in Jingren Palace, the head of the East Six Palaces; Concubine Jing Sun Mengjie is in the Yongshou Palace, which is the head of the six palaces in the west, Xiaomei Xiaolan bought it back for her at that time, and she also lived in the Yongshou Palace and continued to serve her.
Concubine Yi Chen Qiudie was originally the third lady and could live in the Chengqian Palace of the East Second Palace, but she had always been good with Sun Mengjie and asked to live with Chen Qiudie, and finally lived in the Yikun Palace of the West Second Palace, living next to Sun Mengjie; Concubine Yan Tian Fen lived in Chengqian Palace, and the kite served with her.
Concubine Mu Sirong lived in the East Third Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and was a picturesque attendant; and the concubine Wang Wanyu lived in the Chuxiu Palace of the West Third Palace, and the maid Tuqin accompanied her.
Li Shuji was neither an official concubine nor had children, so she was originally not qualified to enter the palace alone, but Gao Guiying and Li Na considered that she was the daughter of Lin Danhan, so they persuaded Li Zicheng to give her a title.
Li Zicheng thought about it, Huaxia will soon go on an expedition outside the border, and she and her parents may need help at that time, and Li Shuji and Li Shuji already have a husband and wife, so he temporarily named Li Shuji as Concubine Hua, and lived in Yanqi Palace, the East Fourth Palace, next to Li Na.
All the concubines are served by two eunuchs and two palace maids, and if they already have maids, they will be deducted from them.
Song Yulian is over forty years old, and she is Chen Qiudie's mother-in-law, so she can't give her the title of concubine, Li Zicheng looked at the still white and tender skin on her face, and decided to let her serve as the head of the imperial diet of the Qianqing Palace, specializing in managing her own diet, and she can often meet Chen Qiudie.
Chen Qiudie and Song Yulian are both grateful, and both of them are thankful.
Although there are still vacancies in the East and West Sixth Palaces, Li Zicheng has no intention of increasing the number of people in the harem for the time being, and he has no intention of promoting palace maids to live in the East and West Sixth Palaces, and even Dou Meiyi has not been titled, and is still serving in the Qianqing Palace for the time being.
He had two things to worry about.
First, the princes and princesses.
Princesses can live with their mothers, but the eldest princess Li Yuxin is fifteen years old, according to the habits of these eras, she has reached the age of talking about marriage.
The princes even let Li Zicheng rack his brains.
The eldest son Li Feng is fifteen, and the second son Li Song is thirteen, both of whom are close to adulthood, and they have to be allowed to live independently, and it is not suitable for them to live in the harem.
There is also the issue of education, Li Zicheng hopes that they will receive a new type of education and lead this era, although they have learned simplified Chinese characters with Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Mu Sirong, but their knowledge is not systematic and comprehensive enough, and their thinking is not broad enough.
Li Zicheng thought about it, Li Feng and Li Song have a certain foundation, and if they want to enter the hall at this age, I am afraid it is not very suitable, so he plans to ask Guo Shijun to be the teacher of the two.
Huaxia officially established the country, and the candidate for the crown prince must also be determined, Li Feng is the eldest son, and Li Song is the son-in-law, according to the habits of this era, "there is a grandson", so what should Li Feng do?
Li Zicheng looked at the lively scene of the concubines moving, but he was thinking deeply in his heart, Li Feng or Li Song, who is more suitable to be the prince?
The key is who is more suitable to be the second emperor of China!
Li Zicheng walked alone on the royal road with his hands behind his back, and went through the temperament of Li Feng and Li Song in his brain.
Li Feng has an extroverted personality and is suitable for expansion, while Li Song has a calm temperament and is more suitable for Shoucheng.
He is an expansive emperor, and in the future the throne will be in the hands of the second emperor, if the emperor still expands externally like himself, it is inevitable that he will be limited to reckless military force, and Huaxia will even die like the Great Qin and the Great Sui......
Expanding outwards on his own, the second emperor should defend himself and digest the land he occupies, and it will take at least two or three generations before a new large-scale expansion can be carried out......
Thinking like this, Li Zicheng's heart is inclined to make Li Song the crown prince, and Li Feng can allow him to develop in education, business, science and technology......
The candidate for the crown prince has basically been established, and Li Zicheng's heart is a lot more relaxed, but what about the concubines in the harem? Could it be like the concubines of the previous dynasty, washing in the palace every day and waiting for themselves to be lucky?
If this is the kind of life, it is inevitable that there will be infighting in the palace, even Gao Guiying may not be able to suppress it, and she must find something for them to do.
With things and careers, you will forget about unnecessary competition for favor, and you will not have much time to compete for favor.
Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Mu Sirong are all graduates of Xining Girls' School, and now that their ten-year contract period has passed, is the knowledge they learned back then wasted?
How to find one for them without violating the prohibition in the palace?
Education, Technology, Industry, Business...... It seems that it is not appropriate, culture, entertainment......
Li Zicheng's heart suddenly moved, the new dynasty of China, will govern the country according to law, whether it is officials, merchants, or ordinary people, they must abide by the laws of the country, if Sun Mengjie can use the form of entertainment, the combination of education and law......
The most important carrier is the newspaper!
Li Zicheng thought about it for a long time, until Gao Guiying and the others moved out of the Qianqing Palace, and he sorted out a set of ideas in his heart, he didn't care about resting, and immediately rushed to the Kunning Palace where Gao Guiying lived.
According to the custom, Li Zicheng should stay in the Kunning Palace where the queen Gao Guiying stayed today, or summon Gao Guiying to the Qianqing Palace to sleep, but Li Zicheng can't stay in the Kunning Palace today, he wants to inform Gao Guiying, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Gao Guiying, with the assistance of the palace maids, was laying out the phoenix couch, and she didn't watch out for Li Zicheng rushing in, and her face turned red, "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't made up the bed yet......"
Li Zicheng knew that Gao Guiying had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly snorted and said, "Guiying, this ...... Hmmm......"
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Gao Guiying felt strange, every time Zicheng returned from the expedition, he was in a hurry, and in today's eyes, it seemed that that flame was missing......
According to his own habit, after the expedition to Liaodong, he had just returned home today, if he asked himself and the palace maids of Kunning Palace to ...... Sleeping together at night, that's normal self-contained!
Have you always refused to sleep with others and become angry?
If Zicheng proposes to let him sleep with the palace maid, should he agree to him...... Didn't you let the picturesque wait in the morning?
In Zicheng's eyes, why is there no flame that only women can understand? Gao Guiying was suddenly startled, could it be a problem with her body?
Is it because he has been fighting for a long time, and there is no woman around him to serve, and he has broken down on the battlefield? For the next battle, should you send a concubine to wait......
Li Zicheng didn't even understand Gao Guiying's gaze, although he understood that her gaze contained worries, pity, and doubts, but Gao Guiying turned his mind so much in a while, how could he guess it?
"Gui Ying, this ...... You come out and speak first!"
Gao Guiying was stunned, does she want it now? If you want, you can drive the palace ladies out, what are you doing outside, and there are no beds outside...... She raised her head and saw Li Zicheng's clear gaze, only to know that she was wrong again.
Looking at the self-contained appearance, there must be something important to say to yourself tonight!
Gao Guiying didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Li Zicheng took Gao Guiying's little hand, took her to the side room next door, sat on the mahogany chair, sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "Guiying, come here tonight to do you a small favor!"
"A little favor?" Gao Guiying was puzzled, she didn't seem to have anything to help with herself, could it be that she wanted to add eunuchs and palace maids to Kunning Palace? Actually, it's no longer necessary......
Li Zicheng played with Gao Guiying's little hand and said, "Guiying, as a queen, do you know what your most important responsibility is?" ”
"Responsibility? Naturally, it is to maintain the stability of the harem and not to cause chaos to the emperor......" Gao Guiying suddenly found that something was wrong, and he asked such a question...... Is there anything he is dissatisfied with his performance during this time? Do you dislike yourself for getting older...... Yes, the young maid in the palace is too eye-catching, it must be so!
Is the emperor going to have a showdown with himself...... You want to marry that Dou Meiyi as a concubine, and no one objects, why......
Gao Guiying lowered her head slightly, her face was indescribably lonely.
Li Zicheng stroked Gao Guiying's increasingly ruddy face, and said with a smile: "Where does Guiying want to go?" I'm saying that it's not easy to maintain the stability of the harem, so I'm here to help you a little. ”
Why is it weird tonight? What exactly is he going to say? Gao Guiying raised her head and looked at Li Zicheng with blank eyes, but she didn't speak.
Li Zicheng kissed the red lips sent by Gao Guiying, and said: "Guiying, the biggest problem in the harem is that the concubines compete for favor, although so far, this kind of thing has not happened in my harem, but no one can guarantee ...... in the future."
"Does the emperor dislike Gui Ying for not doing well?" Gao Guiying subconsciously stroked the red lips that had been kissed by Li Zicheng, but her heart was very nervous, her eyes were already slightly glowing, she was crowned queen from Xi'an, it has only been less than a year, is it going to be abolished?
"Gui Ying don't have to think about it, you have already done a good job," Li Zicheng held Gao Guiying's face with both hands, gently wiped the teardrops that were about to overflow in her eyes with his fingers, and said: "Fool, you are a woman, you should know why the women in the harem compete for favor," lest Gao Guiying not understand, and said: "The concubines compete for favor, in the final analysis, they are all idle, and everything is done by the eunuchs and palace maids, and they have nothing to do all day long, so they will naturally think about it...... Compete for favor!"
Gao Guiying's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and said, "Does the emperor have any way?" ”
"Naturally," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "So I said that I want to do you a small favor, that is, to find something for the concubines to do, so that they can forget, no, there is no time to compete for favor, and the harem will be peaceful." ”
"What is the emperor's method?"
"This, you'll know in two days," Li Zicheng patted Gao Guiying's expectant face and said, "However, I can't stay in Kunning Palace tonight." ”
