Yonghe Palace.

The little palace maid helped the beautiful lady who had dinner to sit down slowly on the verandah between the main hall and the apse in the palace courtyard, and the aunt Meng Xin in charge sent the freshly made rose dew, and two plates of rock sugar plums and medicinal plums for consumption, the Li nobles used two plums, but they were not interested in the sweet rose dew, and took a sip and threw it aside and did not drink it. I was stunned to look at the chrysanthemums that bloomed just right in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Mengxin asked with concern: "Little master, what's wrong with you?" went to Zhongcui Palace, and the concubine gave you a look? ”

Li Guiren said lazily: "This is not true, the concubine is a kind person, the face will not be bad, the newly sealed Lan Concubine is also there, this Lan Concubine," Li Guiren became thoughtful, and twisted the silk with his hand, "He is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is also calm in front of the old man's concubine in the palace, I watched in private, she talked to us about some clothing materials, as well as jewelry gouache or something, all with a faint expression, as if she was not interested in these," Li Guiren's eyes stared, thinking of something," It was during the meal and tea that Lan Concubine was still a little interested in the movements of the long-haired bandits in the south, and listened with her ears pricked up for a while. Li Guiren laughed dumbly again, "I don't know, I thought there was a gentleman sitting outside opposite." ”

If Xingzhen heard Li Guiren's analysis here, she would probably jump in surprise, this woman's intuition is really terrifying!

Mengxin smiled mysteriously and said, "Little master, you don't know yet, right?" Before dinner, the emperor came out of Chuxiu Palace, and his face was a little bad. ”

"Oh?" Li Guiren raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Have you heard anything?" ”

"The people of Chuxiu Palace had a tight mouth, and they couldn't ask anything, so they went to the Yangxin Palace and inquired about the little eunuch who followed the emperor to Chuxiu Palace, and the little eunuch stood outside the palace gate, vaguely heard what ancient poems Lan Concubine said, and then mentioned something about long hair, the emperor was very happy, hehe, laughed, said that Lan'er was much stronger than the military planes outside, and then stopped laughing, and after a while, he walked out of Chuxiu Palace with a wooden face and returned to the Yangxin Palace." Mengxin carefully reported what she had heard to Liguiren.

Li Guiren's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't believe it: "Could it be that this Lan Concubine actually went to advise on political affairs?" But this ancestral system, but it is said that ** is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

"Niangniang, I think ** is not far from ten, you also said that Lan Concubine is very concerned about the bandits. It seems that this Lan Concubine is going to be unlucky. ”

Li Guiren shook his head slowly, "This is not necessarily, the number of times I have seen our emperor is not too much, not too little, this emperor is a soft-hearted master, ruthless, change others, not to mention Yongzheng Ye, Jiaqing Ye, is the first emperor, Lan Concubine said this, either to take away the title, or to tell the Sixth Palace to punish her for a few months." It's just a wooden face that can come out so easily. ”

"What do you mean, noble?"

"That's it, I know my own family affairs anyway, I don't know anything about political affairs, dress up well, and please the emperor is to do my duty. I won't talk about it in front of the emperor, just as if I don't know. Li Guiren raised his spirits, "Is there still that honey rose last time?" At night, let's put more in the bathing water, the flowers are so hot with hot water, my body, it's really fragrant! ”

"Back to Niangniang, I have already prepared it."

Zhongcui Palace.

No one has always been virtuous and virtuous since birth, and the concubine Niu Hulu is no exception. The concubine sat in the main hall, listening to the reply of the underground eunuch, coincidentally, the eunuch was also talking about the things in the Chuxiu Palace.

The concubine listened to the eunuch's report, waved her hand, and the eunuch in charge silently retreated, and on the edge of two pairs of ivory carved and painted four-hour flower jujube-shaped lanterns, a person sat on the throne silently thinking about his thoughts.

As the pillow person of Emperor Xianfeng, the concubine can dare to say that in addition to herself, there is no other woman in ** who can catch up with her understanding of Emperor Xianfeng, (Xingzhen is sneering) The emperor is the idea of making great efforts, it is really a mess, and he is a middle-aged person, and he can't be a saint like the holy grandfather of Tang Taizong. It was a meaning that I longed for the relaxed and happy life of the emperor of the previous dynasty.

Besides, the back seat, who doesn't want to sit down! Whoever can help the emperor not find trouble and help share the burden will be the queen!

The concubine made up her mind, and prepared that the next time the emperor came to Zhongcui Palace, she would say to the emperor, this ancestral family law, can't be messed up!

Chuxiu Palace.

"Ancestral family law?"

Xingzhen snorted, put down the slender jade hand that hammered the emperor's legs, the emperor was massaged and hummed, and gently pinched Emperor Xianfeng's calf, just enough to make the emperor wake up from the retelling of the words of some people blowing dark arrows in their ears.

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? It's just a group of mediocre people, don't you pay attention to it, didn't I take a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi to thank you. Emperor Xianfeng lazily picked up a piece of mint muffin and put it in his mouth.

Xingzhen looked at the people serving in the palace, Anqian understood, pulled Fan'er and a group of people out of the palace, and closed the door.

"The concubine really thought that the emperor was worried day and night, so she racked her brains to help the emperor think of a way, and was told such gossip by others, and the concubine felt wronged." Xingzhen cried with a cry, her fingers were tightly wrapped around the handkerchief, she lowered her head and didn't speak, pretending to be aggrieved.

When Emperor Xianfeng saw Lan Concubine's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, put Xingzhen's shoulders around, wrapped his arms around Lan Concubine's delicate body, and comforted him gently: "Lan'er, you are good to me, I naturally know, since the minister outside said what the ancestral family law is, in the future, I will come to ask you quietly, you tell me quietly, and no one will tell him!" ”

Xingzhen was a little indulged in the emperor's gentle embrace, and when she heard this last secret crossing Chen Cang's strategy, she sneered fiercely in her heart, is there any news about the Forbidden City, I heard Anqian say that she just finished talking about this matter last time, and as soon as the emperor returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the news immediately spread in the Sixth Palace, but she didn't say anything, but she suddenly talked to Emperor Xianfeng about this "ancestral family law".

"Your Majesty, when it comes to this ancestral family law, the concubines have a little bit of their own opinions." Xingzhen said with a smile.

"Oh?" Emperor Xianfeng smelled the fragrance of autumn orchids on Concubine Lan's hair and responded casually.

"Grandmaster Tai's four major Baylor discussions at that time were not ancestral systems?" Xingzhen wrenched her fingers and counted them one by one, "The Holy Ancestor Dynasty doesn't have a military aircraft department!" Seeing that Emperor Xianfeng became serious when he heard about his ancestors, he changed his perspective to prove this matter, "Before we entered the world, Emperor Taizu had to go to Changbai Mountain every year to worship his ancestors, and then he would swim in Tianchi in winter!" Hehe, are you afraid of the cold, Your Majesty? ”

Emperor Xianfeng's face turned a little pale when he heard Dong Yong, "That's right, these were not there before." ”

"The Ming changes with the times, and the wise make it with the times, the situation of the ancestors and ancestors is different from now, so there are different changes in each dynasty, there is a word I don't know if the emperor has heard of it, called: keep pace with the times! So, there's really no need to stick to the ancestral system! Your Majesty, you are now in a similar situation to Kangxi Ye and his time, the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty in Taiwan, you have long-haired rebels here, and the British and French are clowns jumping off the beam at sea, by the way, and Russia, too! Xingzhen clapped her hands, "Your Majesty, this is your chance to keep up with the Holy Grandfather!" ”

"Keeping up with the times? Well, that's right," Emperor Xianfeng pulled Xingzhen's soft twing, and couldn't help but praise Lan Concubine, "It's really my interpretation of the flower!" ”

"But the emperor," Xingzhen continued to play the role of a well-understood interpreter, "The concubine doesn't want the emperor to be bothered by the gossip outside, if the emperor wants to test the concubine in the future, let's still whisper!" ”

"Okay, I'll be here tonight with you to interpret the flower, Yang Qingxi, take two cages of the new golden silk jujubes in Shandong this year and give them to Concubine Lan!"

"Huh!"

Relying on the Xingzhen in Emperor Xianfeng's arms, he smiled proudly, it doesn't matter whether the ancestral system is ancestral or not, the important thing is to make the emperor firm, that is, there is no problem of violating the ancestral system when I come to discuss political affairs with Concubine Lan, and there must be no sense of awkwardness! "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shoukang Palace.

The eunuch of the head of Shoukang Palace is called De Ling, dry and thin, always with his eyes closed, as if he was napping, and De Ling followed the imperial concubine when he moved into Zhongcui Palace to raise Emperor Xianfeng. As soon as Emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne, he wanted Deling to be the head of the Yangxin Palace, but Deling resigned and said that he was "old and weak, and I am afraid that he would miss the emperor's major events".

The imperial concubine knelt in the Buddhist hall with her head bowed, bowing to the statue of Guanyin Buddha, and Deling reported the concubine's admonition to the emperor.

The imperial concubine put her hands together, chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, and the sandalwood on the incense table stained the Buddhist hall with mist. The imperial concubine was silent for a long time, and after a while, she slowly opened her eyes and said lightly: "Got it." ”

De Ling replied respectfully: "Then the imperial concubine, what do you mean?" ”

"What do I mean?" The imperial concubine stood up from the futon, and Deling hurriedly stepped forward to help, "The mourning family is not interesting, what does this matter have to do with me, the imperial concubine who does not live in Cining Palace?" The mourning family is not the queen mother, and they can't be the same as the concubines, for the so-called ancestral family law and the emperor, the mourning family is just fortunate to raise the emperor for a few years, and it is not so important in this Forbidden City, and it can't be managed justifiably**! The imperial concubine turned around and slowly walked to the outside of the main hall to look at the sun, and built a shed with her hands to look outside the Shoukang Palace, "You have to be free, tell the people in the Chuxiu Palace about this quietly, and the one in the Chuxiu Palace will naturally remember us well," the imperial concubine turned around and prepared to go into the inner room to take a nap, "When the time comes, if you have a relationship with the master who can help the emperor come up with ideas, and repay him with a peach, the mourning family estimates that they can change the palace room to live in!" ”

"Wow!"
