After the New Year's Day change ceremony of the first year of Chongzhen, all the yamen of the court were sealed for the festival, according to the emperor's will, and the rest of the month was not until the first day of February. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, the same is true of the Great Dynasty Meeting, which was not arranged in January of the first year of Chongzhen. However, although the big court meeting is no longer held, the small court meeting will still be carried out, and of course some important work cannot be stopped.

Fortunately, after the emperor changed the Yuan on New Year's Day, he also gave a reward to those cronies and courtiers who were busy in Zunhua, Zhuozhou, Tongzhou and other places, including the construction sites and mines under their command, and the people's husbands.

In the past few days, Emperor Chongzhen has also rarely relaxed, and has spent a happy year with Empress Zhou, Concubine Li, Tian, and Concubine Jing.

Once a person relaxes, his temper and personality will become much better, and in the past few days, the queen Zhou and other concubines have also seen the changes in the emperor in their eyes and are happy in their hearts.

Before, as soon as the emperor was busy, he simply stayed in the Qianqing Palace every night, and sometimes he didn't go to the harem once for ten days, and even if he went, he hurriedly ate a meal, said a few words and left, and rarely stayed overnight. Empress Yi Zhou and the two concubines of Tian and Yuan all felt a little lost in their hearts, and they were all looking forward to when the emperor would put down what he was doing and go to their palace to stay for a night.

In the past few days, the concubines' wish has finally come true. The emperor first accompanied the Empress Zhou for two nights, both of them were the same age, they were both very young, and Lang had the intention of having a concubine, of course, they were happy every night.

For the matter of the heir, the emperor is not in a hurry, but the minister is more anxious than the emperor, and there are already ministers who have written to the emperor to ask the emperor to consider the issue of the heir, if the harem is infertile, the edict can be ordered to draft the world's draft girls. In this regard, the emperor himself, of course, was noncommittal. However, the question of whether the emperor has children or not was not a personal matter of the emperor in ancient times, but a major military matter.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also knew this, so since he had assumed such a role in this time and space, of course he had to fulfill his obligations.

Besides, the queen Zhou is also very dignified and beautiful, and although Emperor Chongzhen has changed his soul, he obviously has no moral cleanliness in the later generations, and in the face of beautiful women, of course, there will be normal reactions, of course, to do what a man should do, not to mention that for the concubines of this era, the meaning of giving birth to an heir is much more important.

Today's first and second concubines, although not all of them are stunning, but at least they are all middle-to-upper colors. After all, it was Empress Yi'an who was personally selected by Empress Zhang from a large number of show girls at the behest of Emperor Tianqi. Whether it is looks, figure and talent, they are the best choice of that era. Queen Zhou is dignified and magnificent, with the demeanor of a mother, Tian is charming and gorgeous, first-class dance and music talents, and Yuan is graceful and quiet, like everyone's beautiful appearance.

One queen and two concubines, each with its own merits, the most beautiful of them, of course, is Tian, the historical Chongzhen Emperor loved her very much, but unfortunately, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, after giving birth to a prince, she died of illness. The queen Zhou and Concubine Jing Yuan hanged themselves in the palace on the day of the destruction of Beijing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

Of course, this will not be the case in this life, and now Emperor Chongzhen, who knows the fate of these concubines, naturally wants to let them live the happy life they should have.

For several days in a row, Emperor Chongzhen first stayed with the empress for two nights, and then, under the expectation of the two concubines, stayed in the palace where the Tian and Yuan families lived, and stayed for two nights each. One queen and two concubines, ring fat and thin, each has its own merits, especially in the face of the emperor who finally waited, of course, he tried his best to make the most of the joy of fish and water.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been messing with the queen and the Tian family and the second concubine of the Yuan family for five or six days, had a tense nerves for a while, but they were also completely relaxed, and finally experienced a little fun of being an emperor.

If there's anything unpleasant, it's the inherited body, the cost is not small, but it's a pity that the time is not long, and then every time I enter, two or three hundred, it's like a note, it's more disappointing.

Fortunately, the concubines are also young and don't understand it very well, and besides, they all understand what's going on, and no one dares to say anything in the face of the emperor in front of them, but for Emperor Chongzhen, who knows what's going on, he deeply feels the urgency of strengthening physical exercise.

In this era, when it comes to the New Year's holidays, there are naturally lively places, and entertainment venues such as restaurants, tea shops, prostitution houses, brothels and other entertainment places at various levels are also blooming everywhere.

The special products of the east, west, north and south, and even the leather goods outside the mouth and the silk of the south of the Yangtze River are also available. Ordinary people have worked hard for a year, saving the money they have saved on weekdays, and when it comes to the New Year, they don't care about the expenses.

Like later generations, whether it is a wealthy compound or a small family, when it comes to the New Year, they have to buy New Year's goods, set off firecrackers, post Spring Festival couplets or something, and the family gets together, eats and drinks, and enjoys the joy of family.

Some high-gate compounds, most of them have their own excellent singers, and even opera troupes, listen to small songs during the New Year's holidays, and it is a prosperous scene up and down.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen, who came from later generations, of course knows that the prosperity in front of him is just an illusion that can be broken at the first poke. But now after all, it is the New Year, and he can't always pull a sullen face that worries about the country and the people.

In today's palace, all the people are looking at the emperor's face, and the emperor rarely gets angry, but once his face is gloomy, everyone is worried and is 200% careful in everything. After all, the purge that took place in the inner court a few months ago left an indelible memory for these eunuchs and palace maids.

Of course, not all of them have personally seen the bloody scenes that happened in the remote places outside the Xihua Gate, but rumors about those bloody scenes have been widely circulated among the eunuchs and palace maids. Moreover, the emperor's resolute and resolute removal of hundreds of eunuch ministers in the court also made these eunuchs and palace maids who usually regarded those ministers of the court as heavenly beings frightened, and they were all cautious and cautious, lest they make mistakes.

Different from the previous life, Emperor Chongzhen in this life naturally quickly noticed this situation, so in the past few days of the New Year, he consciously wanted to make an approachable appearance, not only personally went to the office room of the Gongwei Division in the noon gate, and met with the official and lieutenant on duty, but also issued red envelopes to the eunuchs and palace maids who served around him, and also rewarded the palace maids who waited in the palace such as Kunning Palace.

As for the guards and eunuchs, how much the impression of Emperor Chongzhen has changed, the emperor himself naturally has no way of knowing, but the attitude of the first and second concubines in the harem towards him has changed a lot, especially the two concubines, after a few nights of sleeping, there is less fear of the emperor before, and looking at the emperor's eyes, there is more ubiquitous tenderness and sweetness.

From ancient times to the present, a warm and beautiful home is something that everyone wants to have, even if you are the emperor, or the queen, you also want to have a home, want to enjoy the warmth of the family, and like the emperor's first queen and two concubines, when it comes to the New Year, they are in the harem, and they are naturally more eager to enjoy the warmth of home.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen is the same, in the first year of this time and space, let him especially miss the feeling of the New Year in later generations, the family sat together happily, eating hot pot and chatting lively, the sky was cold outside the window, and the house was full of spring. What else is there that can't be solved with a hot pot?

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen spent the first Spring Festival in the palace, and he ate a hot pot that had a fight with later generations. In China during the Ming Dynasty, of course, there was already a hot pot, and the style was exactly the same as the charcoal copper hot pot of the old Beijing hot pot in later generations, but the ingredients and side dishes were different.

Since the emperor wants to take the queen and his concubine to eat hot pot, Wang Chengen, who is in charge of the Shang Diet Supervisor, naturally has to do his best to find all the ingredients that the emperor wants. Therefore, the hot pot that Emperor Chongzhen ate this time is basically the same as that of later generations.

The hot pot feast arranged by the emperor himself certainly surprised the first queen and the second concubine, including Empress Zhang of Yi'an, who was also very happy. For the concubines, what they eat is not hot pot, but the feeling of home, hot pot of course surprises them, but what surprises them even more is the emperor's efforts to harmonize their relationship.

The emperor and the concubines were happy, and the eunuchs and palace ladies were naturally relaxed, and under the emperor's proposal and promotion, during the first Spring Festival of the first year of Chongzhen, the palace finally stopped being gloomy and heavy, and finally had the feeling of the New Year.

To the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, the inner also engaged in the lantern festival, Empress Yi'an took the lead, the first queen and two concubines of Emperor Chongzhen, several concubines who were still in the emperor, and the twenty-four yamen of the inner court were all involved.
