No. 0001 The Wicked Guest (I)
In October of the first year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty (1119 AD), Bianliang Palace.
"Wang Tou, there are still Zhou Shunrong (1) and two princes in the Ning Yuan Palace, Xiao Concubine Liu died not long ago, after all, the Holy Grace is Long, isn't it a bit reckless for us to go to drive people away with such an open fire!"
Wang Xian, the official of the West Worship Office, and Chen He, the official of the Yellow Gate, the two of them are green and green, one in front and one behind them walking on the road to the Ningyuan Palace, the former wears official boots, with a head, a green official robe, with a protruding chest and belly, and looks at it freely, but the latter is bowed down, following closely behind the former, looking like he is talking about his face.
As the saying goes: people go tea and cool! Little Concubine Liu has passed away for about two months, don't care about the many holy favors before her death, as soon as this person dies, everything is empty, and the official family has recently gained a new favorite, as for the little Concubine Liu, I'm afraid I don't know where I forgot it! ”
Wang Xian walked slowly, and continued as he walked: "Zhou Shunrong and the Seventh Prince, the two of them, were just taken into custody by Concubine Liu because of the sisterhood of the past when she was alive, and they are not qualified to live in the Ning Yuan Palace.
It's Zhao Mo, the only son of Concubine Liu, who is more troublesome, after all, there is a title of King of Ankang County (2), but who asked us to follow Concubine De Niangniang!
Since Niangniang fell in love with this Ningyuan Palace, let's be slaves, even if we die hard, we have to do it for her, right? Hum! Our family still can't believe that we can't afford to bluff a low-grade concubine and two milky dolls! ”
"The subordinates are dull, but the king is still smart!" The little inner supervisor Chen He followed step by step, salivating and flattering.
"Okay, don't slap our ass." After Wang Xian finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, missed this topic, then squinted at Chen He, and said solemnly: "When you enter the Ning Yuan Palace, everything will follow our family's instructions, and you can't make your own decisions, do you understand?" ”
"My subordinates understand."
When the two of them arrived at the head of the door of Ningyuan Palace, they were about to step in, when they suddenly heard bursts of cheers from the courtyard, and both of them were a little curious, so they followed the sound and looked into the crack in the door.
I saw the seventh prince Zhao Xu (xu), at the moment is riding a russet horse, galloping back and forth around the courtyard, when galloping, leaning over the side of the horse, pulling the bow and shooting arrows, in the blink of an eye three sharp arrows shot out like beads, all of them hit the target in different directions dozens of steps away, won the applause of Zhao Mo, the king of Ankang County, and the palace attendants on the side.
Wang Xian and Chen He were stunned all of a sudden.
After everyone cheered before coming back to his senses, Chen He said with a hint of fear, and said with some hesitation: "Head, let, can't we get in?" ”
Wang Xian was also frightened by the superb riding and archery skills of the Seventh Prince Zhao Xu, and his face was incredible, and he smacked his tongue: "This is really a son who has not yet tied his hair and crowned it?" ”
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to calm himself down, thinking of the big backer of Concubine De Niangniang, who had been quite favored recently, and suddenly felt full of strength again.
"Enter! Why don't you get in? It's a waste of our family's cultivation of you on weekdays, I didn't expect it to be so bad! ”
Wang Xian glared at him angrily and strode in, followed by Chen He, as a loyal little follower.
After seeing Zhao Xu and Zhao Mo, the king of Ankang County, Wang Xian did not kneel and salute, but just bowed his hand with a grin: "The slave and maid are the enshrined officials in the west, and Wang Xian, the envoy of the Qinghui Palace, has seen His Royal Highness the King of the County and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." ”
Zhao Mo, the king of Ankang County, was used to being pampered, and when he saw that this lieutenant was so rude, he wanted to reprimand him, but Zhao Xu stopped him with his eyes.
Zhao Mo has always admired this brother who is wise and brave, calm and generous, and when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he didn't make a sound, but just muttered a few words in private.
Zhao Xu saw that the person who came was the head of the Concubine De Palace, and he didn't know what he meant, so he was quite vigilant, and he said quietly: "Wang Fengfeng suddenly visited Ning Yuan Palace, is there anything wrong?" ”
When Wang Xian heard this, he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's Concubine De Niangniang, I heard that this Ningyuan Hall is tall and spacious, and the scenery is pleasant, so I sent the slave maid to come over to see if the rumors are true." ”
It turned out to be the idea of fighting this Ning Yuan Palace, and Zhao Xu immediately frowned when he heard this.
He is Zhao Xu and not Zhao Xu.
To be precise, the body belongs to the ancients, and the soul is modern - a twenty-eight-year-old middle school history teacher from the 21st century, whose name also happens to be Zhao Xu.
Originally, such a strange thing happened suddenly, as long as it was a person, it would feel panic and fear, and Zhao Xu was no exception.
Fortunately, in his previous life, he was a person with a calm mind and excellent psychological quality, and after reading too many time-traveling novels, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of bizarre time-traveling processes.
So since the soul pierced the prince of the Great Song Dynasty a month ago, Zhao Xu did not show too much panic, in order not to be discovered, he quickly erased all traces of modern people, and at the same time played the role of the prince with all his might.
Thanks to the memory of the host, a lot of trouble was saved, and after a period of time, the effect was remarkable, and the relatives around him, including the palace attendants, did not find his abnormality, and the transformation of his identity was perfectly realized in less than a month.
After finding out his intentions, although Zhao Xu was very unhappy in his heart, he still replied politely: "Concubine Liu is naturally beautiful, she is captivating the country and the city, her father has always favored her, and the tall and spacious Ning Yuan Hall is the testimony of her father's favor to Concubine Liu!" "The implication is that Concubine Liu is the emperor's favorite concubine, so don't make up your mind about her concubine in the dormitory.
Wang Xianpi said with a smile: "This is all the old yellow calendar, as His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said, Ningyuan Hall is Concubine Liu's dormitory, and it seems a little inappropriate for the Seventh Prince and Zhou Niangniang to live here, right?" This palace is so big, it can't be without rules! ”
"What are you eunuchs talking about! This is my mother's dormitory, who does my mother invite to live in the wheel and you will be in charge? Zhao Mo, the king of Ankang County, finally couldn't control his anger and reprimanded.
Wang Xian was not annoyed when he was scolded: "Then dare to ask Your Highness, where is your mother now?" ”
Zhao Mo said angrily: "You ask knowingly! ”
Wang Xian smiled slyly: "The palace has its own rules, with the rank of the Seventh Prince and Zhou Niangniang, you can only live in a side courtyard, Concubine Liu Niangniang was invited to live with each other before her death, others really have nothing to say, but now Concubine Liu Niangniang is gone, and the palace has no owner, how can she still live here?" You must know that today's palace is already overcrowded, and the palace bedrooms in the back court are very nervous! ”
Zhao Mo snorted: "Then it's not your master's turn to worry about this!" ”
(1) Shunrong: One of the harem concubines, ranked at the end of the nine concubines, and the grade is low.
(2) King of Ankang County: In the Song system, the prince is not directly crowned as a prince, and there is no title at first, and then with the growth of age and the degree of favor of the emperor, he will be canonized as the prince of the country, the prince of the county, and finally the title of the prince. All princes could not directly obtain the title of prince as they did in the Han and Tang dynasties. When the adult prince of the clan went to the court, the ranking of the station class had to be after the prime minister, which shows the importance and high treatment of the scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty, and the deep suppression of the rank of the pro-domain.
