Chapter 5 Banquets

I came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was very large and had several floors of ancient buildings, and the building materials were more colorful gold and silver. There are all sorts of things in it. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out to greet them in peach-colored official uniforms, all of them were women, and there were two assistants by their side, and this person was even bigger than the empress's pomp. When you see me, bow and greet the princess.

I hesitated for a moment, let's excuse me

Ya'er said, excuse me, the empress sent me to choose palace maids for Princess Wenliang, you go and bring the roster of all palace maids.

Wechen obeyed. Come on, get all the rosters. The two assistants next to him immediately received the order, and they were adults. went.

Saw everyone's roster. It is placed on the table a full meter high. I said, it's too troublesome to find it like this, you can look at finding someone who was born more bitterly. I'm looking for someone who was born more miserable, and I think someone who has suffered more miserably, and who should be more serious and faithful to people.

In the end, I chose one, called Huangpu Qianxue, who was one month younger than me. I heard from the minister that it was recorded in the register that she was a descendant of a senior official in the court, as if that official had committed some crime and had been thrown into prison. There are more than 100 people in the family, the men are distributed, and the women enter the palace as slaves to the laundry bureau.

I heard from the Lord of the Internal Affairs Office that she is the only one left in the palace in her roster.

I think, no matter how high the status of women in this world is, but the system is not good, it is still not good to live this life. I stood up and said, it's just her, one person is enough.

Originally, I didn't want anyone, thinking that I could not even take care of myself in the era of no technology, and there was no washing machine, no electricity, and no hot water for four or two hours. I just want one, but I can't let myself fall.

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately called someone to press the platoon. I waited for a long time. The people who sent it out came back and said that the girl who returned to the princess was sick, and she didn't know what kind of illness she had, and she hadn't gotten out of bed for several days. The Lord of the Internal Affairs Office said, princess, you can choose another person, according to the rules of the palace, palace girls are sick and bedridden, and they must be sent out of the palace.

I said, didn't you say that she was alone, who would take care of her when she was sent out of the palace, and find a doctor to come and see her. Then she will take her to my palace to recuperate,

Princess, the imperial doctor said that her illness requires very precious medicinal materials, and those medicinal materials are conventional, and the palace maid is not worthy of eating. Then I glanced at Ya'er standing next to me, and it was also the empress's side, Aunt Ya'er had eaten it once, and it was still a great gift from the empress.

I said, that's also a human life, I'm going to ask the empress.

Ya'er immediately said, I will go back to the empress first about the princess, and if the empress does not agree, you will go again.

I thought about it, so I agreed, you go and talk to the empress first, I believe the empress will agree.

Ya'er agreed, Ya'er bowed and went.

Sure enough, not long after, a palace maid in the empress's palace came with a doctor. I asked someone to bring which Whampoa Qianxue to my palace.

In the large courtyard of the House of Internal Affairs, I saw a new brown silk bed, which was not as soft as a spring bed, but it was softer than a wooden plank. asked someone to take two beds, but there are rules in the palace, and the palace maid cannot sleep in the master's bed. I just asked for another one, which looks pretty good, a smaller palace maid bed. I saw the goose feathers again, and asked the men to make several pillows, and put the bed next to my bed. The rooms were all arranged. The Empress also rewarded me with many clothes. I still keep fat girls and thin girls to take care of in my palace. I told them that they wouldn't be able to leave until Qianxue was well.

Those two maids are very happy, what's not to be happy about being able to make more money. I was also very bored in the palace, so I chatted with the two maids and asked them what they wanted to do after leaving the palace, whether they had enough money or something?

The thin one said that after I left the palace, I would find a few men to marry.

I'm shocked, no!

I don't think it was possible to live in a time when it was possible, let alone now. Even if the emperor was a woman, after the civilization of agriculture, because men had to pay a huge amount of labor. In the private sector, it is still impossible to do it, men and women are equal, right? Even if men and women are equal, have you never heard of a country where women are inferior to men?

I said there will be two men who are willing, both with you?

The thin girl said, how could it not, the money I brought out was enough for me to eat for a few lifetimes. It is enough to take two more men to live together. But you may not be able to take too good-looking, and too smart, you can only take the average.

I'm really broken, and she still said it seriously. If that man dumps you while you give birth, you are tired enough of a man, think about two, you have to give birth every year.

The fat and thin girls all looked at me like children. Princess, you probably don't know it yet. There is a kind of Juncao called "Chao Fun" growing on the shore of our Baichuan, and if you eat it, you can be infertile for a day. In the future, princess, if you don't want to have children with anyone, you can eat it before having sex.

I was speechless and could only laugh. I felt like I had come from ancient times, and then I knew. It turns out that here, there is no need to do so tiring farming. No matter what kind of seeds, as long as they are sprinkled on the ground, they will grow. There are also cereals and wheat, but you don't need to plant them in a special way, and you don't need to plant a lot of them. So there was no advent of the agrarian era. Men, like matriarchal societies, have no concept of male superiority or inferiority at all.

A few days later, Qianxue also recovered, and the two little maids also left the palace happily.

Qianxue didn't talk much at first, but she took care of me meticulously and helped me think of everything.

Although she always has a light attitude, but think about it, no one can go through this, and she doesn't leave something in her psyche, right?

A few days later, the empress recovered, and invited all the princesses, princes, and princes and ministers to the Taiji Hall to attend the banquet.

I've been writing the words of the moon country at home for a few days, and there is no progress, really I'm not in the mood, I heard it in my dream before I got up in the morning, Qianxue said anxiously, the princess is up quickly, it's late if you don't get up, I get up in a haze, why do you have to eat breakfast at the banquet? Doesn't I usually watch TV just for lunch and dinner?

In the haze, Qianxue served to wear clothes, I didn't want to wear too much trouble, so I casually wore a plain clothes, I didn't want to be so troublesome, just scratch my hair with a jade head, and I was pulled by Qianxue into a sedan chair.

It was still too late to go to the bright sun of the Liuli Palace, and I saw the empress wearing a golden robe at the door. Sitting above the main hall, there is no longer the slightest appearance of illness. All the princesses, princes, and ministers have arrived. The princess and the prince are all dressed in fine costumes and sit on the lower left side of the empress. The ministers all wore red official uniforms, and the colors of the high officials were dark. According to the depth of the official uniform, she sat on the lower right side of the empress in order, and the young lady and young master of the family sat behind the minister.

Qianxue and I went over immediately, and our granddaughter was gentle and participated in the empress.

The empress said lightly, Princess Wenliang is here, right?

It's the empress. I looked up and got up, looking at the empress faintly unable to see the joy and sorrow, I got up, and was led by the palace maid standing at the second table on the left.

After I sat down, I looked at the ministers opposite, only the first one was a man in his forties and fifties, and the lower ones were all female officials, and I turned my head sideways. I saw a very beautiful woman sitting on top of me, and she was also looking at me. I watched her wear delicate makeup and have a good figure. He wears a golden shirt with a white lining and a delicate comb for his hair. I should be a little older than the owner of this body. But it adds a feminine taste. She saw me looking at her.

Then she spoke first. It's good to see my sister, I'm really happy for you to be a sister.

He turned his head to the empress and said, after so many years, my sister has finally gotten better, and she lives up to our family members, and often prays to heaven, and now she finally doesn't have to worry about praying day and night. I actually cried when I said that. Look back at me again. Then he said, my sister is not small, I must find a person for my sister who has both ability and political integrity, Ruyi Langjun. In this way, I also have an explanation for my aunt in heaven.

I listened carefully to what the cousin who was sitting above me said. If I were Allah in this body, would I not be moved to the ground and weep bitterly?

But the truth is, if I'm crazy, the person most likely to become the next empress is her. And I heard the little girl say that this Huaiyin princess is not good, and she tested me when I was sick. That's why the needle girl will run away quickly.

At that time, I was joking with Qianxue and said, do you want to run away too? What if I follow my life?

Qianxue said very seriously, after my life was saved by the princess, I am already a princess. I smiled bitterly, it seems that you are really unlucky, you just picked up a small life. Now I'm going to give up again.
