Chapter 573: Concubine

Speaking of which, Li Xiang's current thirty-two concubines have their own characteristics, so much so that their close servants also have similar characteristics. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Lu Shiya asked Li Xiang to get up, she dared to hit the emperor in the face with a silk scarf soaked in ice water, and no second person dared to do this thing.

"Your Majesty, this is the jade of several mothers, please ask for the Holy Family!"

The chamberlain brought the name tags of several concubines to Li Xiang. The queen's jade plaque is in the middle, and the peony's is on the right, which is a hierarchical rule. But this guy, when he was serving it to Li Xiang, he skillfully deviated an inch or two to the emperor's left hand. In this way, when the emperor chooses with his right hand, it will be very easy to get the brand of peony. Hum! If this little trick is admitted now, these eunuchs will be even more lawless in the future.

"No need, pass the decree, I will go to Kunning Palace to sleep tonight."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the people who were waiting for the emperor to make a choice had different expressions.

Good days always pass quickly, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Li Xiang went to the Wenhua Hall in the morning to meet the ministers, explained the safety of the lantern temple fair, and went back to the harem. The life of the harem can really be described as extravagant, although he is unwilling to spend money on enjoyment, and even agreed on the amount of 120,000 taels of silver for the festival, but even so, it still opened the eyes of this 'soil bun' in the previous life. Coupled with the affection of the queen and the concubines, he really has the urge to be a faint king.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after everyone had a Lantern Festival together, a group of people crowded through the Hongyun Gate and came to the front of the Qianqing Palace. It was time for the emperor to rest somewhere, and only at this time did Li Xiang vaguely see the fluctuating tears in Peony's eyes. sighed slightly in my heart, it was really difficult for her.

"I will stay in the Qianqing Palace tonight and summon the peony to sleep!"

Everyone who heard it was a shock, and in the late winter, there was a hissing sound. It gives you the feeling of being in a snake's den. But it's a good thing, because as a supreme leader, if your intentions are always predetermined, your authority will be shaken over time. This is true of the back court, and the same is true of the previous dynasty.

"Concubines, courtiers respectfully respect the holy oracle!" Peony's slightly trembling voice was very abrupt in the silent crowd.

To summon the concubine to sleep, the emperor needs to settle for rest in that dormitory, and then roll the concubine in the quilt and be carried in by the eunuch. Li Xiang had never had any experience in this area before, so when he reviewed a large number of pieces and came to the dragon bed in the dormitory, Peony had been waiting in the quilt for at least half an hour.

But seeing Peony limping from the brocade quilt, he stood up, took a few steps forward, knelt in front of Li Xiang, and said softly: "The concubine is under the order!" ”

The scene in front of him was really gorgeous, Li Xiang was very anxious to pull people with his hands, but he didn't think that Peony actually tried to stand up twice, but he didn't stand up, and he moaned.

"Peony, what's wrong with your leg?"

"Concubines, concubines have poor blood, and if you are rude to the king, you hope that the saint will forgive your sins."

Li Xiang's habit of calling the concubine's maiden name, she must have known it a long time ago, so she didn't show much surprise, but just explained the reason for her rudeness.

"Bad blood? Oh! How long have you been under covers? "Even if he was smart, he immediately knew what was going on.

"Concubine, it's just for a while."

"Damn, it's all my fault, I let you be wronged."

For a while, Li Xiang was really emotional, speaking of which, among the more than 30 wives, Li Xiang felt that only Peony was the weakest.

Li Xiang leaned over, picked up Peony's light body, and put it lightly on the bed. He also carefully covered her with a brocade quilt. At this moment, he only has compassion, and there is no other impulse.

"What a while, at least three quarters of an hour, such a long time, your legs and feet must be sore, hurry up and lie down for a while, cover the quilt, don't freeze you. Let's talk about the conversation first, and then we'll talk about it when you get over. ”

After all, Peony is still a girl, and at first she was stunned and at the mercy of Li Xiang, but after hearing it, she finally couldn't help crying.

Li Xiang hurriedly said some comforting words carefully across the delicate body of the peony held by the brocade quilt, and deliberately told jokes to tease her, and even apologized to her. She just laughed,

"The emperor is the lord of the Ninety-Five, the lord of the world, apologize to the concubines, isn't he going to kill the concubines?"

"You, before the tears are dry, you laugh again, really..."

Afterwards, the two of them hugged each other and lay on the bed for a while, and they really couldn't find other topics, so they had to go back to state affairs.

"I forgot the time just now, and you are not able to use your legs and feet, don't blame you too much!"

"The concubines don't dare, the concubines don't dare, ah yes, is the emperor worried about the imperial court?"

"Oh?" It is a taboo that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but for many years, this article is basically equal to waste paper, and many concubines have left a figure in history.

"Do you have a way?" After speaking, Li Xiang touched Peony's cheek lovingly, and his smooth and cold skin made the impulsive fire that he had just extinguished move again.

But Peony obviously didn't notice it, and continued to say to herself:

"The concubine heard from the family members who entered the palace a few days ago that the emperor was going to issue a decree of grace in order to plan for the abundance of the treasury. Today, the concubine has a way to tell the emperor. ”

At this moment, the rise of Peony's words, coupled with the fact that the blood is estimated to be circulating, half stood up, and had a half-lying and half-sitting conversation with Li Xiang.

"The wealth of our Dakang is like a spindle, thin at both ends and large in the middle. At the two ends are Li Min and the imperial court, and in the middle are officials, merchants, and relatives. How to cut the middle to make up the two ends is the fundamental strategy to solve the financial resources of the imperial court. ”

"Niu, the original solution lies with my wife." Of course, this is what Li Xiang thinks in his heart. And there was no interruption on the face, but the heat of the body gradually went out again. And encouraged her to continue with eager eyes.

"Now, the emperor implements the industrial and commercial decree, which naturally allows merchants to facilitate their exchanges, if the emperor can choose a few merchants to be imperial merchants, and support them with royal dependents, local governments will also give convenience. Within a few years, these imperial merchants will earn a lot of silver taels, and at that time, the rest of the world's merchants will definitely pay for them to join them, so that all the money in the world will be collected in the hands of the imperial merchants. Imperial merchant, emperor. Isn't Your Majesty so worried? ”

Li Xiang was happy, hugged the peony and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my peony to understand national affairs, it's amazing, you will be my adviser in the future!" ”

Next, it's a shameful thing, but Peony has long been lost to Li Xiang, and it's nothing. But there is a eunuch listening room outside, which makes Li Xiang very depressed, when do you have to change this rule.

The Dakang Empire became more and more prosperous under Li Xiang's rule, attracting the eyes of both the Mongol Empire and the Great Song Empire, but they did not dare to challenge it easily.
