CHAPTER XIV
: Continued red-faced [1]
There are not many concubines in the harem, plus the death of Concubine Qian and the abolition of the queen are even more left, how can the harem be full of branches for the royal family. The emperor is still in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a prince, and he only has a daughter.
Originally, the queen mother pinned her hopes on the queen, but who knew that the queen actually killed her own prince. The queen mother was anxious to let the emperor hold a general election, and this time the requirements for the show girl were lowered, as long as she was a woman who was ice clear and jade, she could enter the palace to participate in the draft regardless of family affairs.
In the past, it was mainly based on large families, but now it is to solicit show girls from all over the world, because the show girls are too afraid that the emperor and the queen mother are too tired, and they also invited the two concubines who can be trusted by the queen mother to help choose show girls together. Concubine Yu and Chenxi manage the harem, and the affairs of the previous dynasty are still decided by the emperor. This draft emperor was not watched completely, in front of some small families of show girls, the emperor looked at the two and selected a few, behind the delicate daughters of those big families, the emperor didn't even look at it, to go back to the heart of the palace to approve the fold to resign, the queen mother also swept the eyes and gave flowers, the emperor doesn't like it, even if it is included in the harem, what's the use? It's just a little more expensive.
The two concubines also knew that the emperor had no interest in these show girls who looked different and the others were the same, so they chose a few who looked talented, and the rest were also teased.
This group of show queens did not give too high positions, the highest was given to Chang Zai, the lowest was given to promise, and all of them did not have titles, and they all used their surnames as titles.
Xian Guifei's distant relatives also came to participate in the draft, and they were also selected. The emperor didn't say anything, only gave the promised position.
Concubine Xian said to Su Mei beside her: "This draft is Zhang Luo by the Queen Mother, and the emperor doesn't want to draft at all." Didn't there be so many show girls who chose 9 people, and the emperor didn't give him a high position, and I heard that there was nothing outstanding. He Minhui, a distant relative of the palace, can be regarded as having some talent. The emperor only gave the position of promise. ”
Su Mei smiled and said: "It's already very good, I don't have any big skills, my family background is not high, it's good to be selected, and I was given the position I promised." The slave maid heard that the emperor had not visited these newcomers at all, so she had stayed in Yikun Palace for the night. ”
In Yikun Palace, the emperor is playing chess with Chenxi, and he has already played three games, and the emperor loses one game, giving Chenxi the upper hand. Chenxi suddenly said: "Won't the emperor go to the palace of those newcomers to take a look?" The emperor shook his head and said, "I am too lazy to go over, they will only be afraid of me when they see me." You tell me that I'm not a tiger, and I can't eat them. I remember vividly that the first time you went to bed, you joked with me, and you were not afraid of me at all. ”
Chenxi replied with a smile: "How many people can be as bold as concubines, don't blame others, the emperor doesn't blame others, you look very majestic, who dares to be close to you!" The emperor touched Chenxi's forehead and said, "You are just different from them, you have a charm that they don't have." The queen also wanted you to be so lively back then, but it turned out to be what you are today. ”
Chenxi didn't answer, and the emperor said, "Xi'er, I want to promote you to a concubine." Chenxi shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't want any concubine!" What the concubines want is not their fame and status, but what the concubines want is the emperor's sincerity. ”
After reading the files of the Jingshifang, Mama Sun said to the Queen Mother: "The emperor went to the Zhenzhaoyi Palace again tonight, and the emperor went to the palace of the new concubine in the evening and left, and went to the Yikun Palace." The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly and said: "What is the precious niece of the mourning family that fascinates the emperor and makes the emperor love her like this." How many of those newcomers were chosen by the emperor himself, and the emperor didn't go to them for the night? ”
Mama Sun shook her head and said: "The emperor seems to have lost interest in them in an instant, and none of them are worthy of the emperor's heart, and the emperor is a far-sighted person. The emperor's intentions are now the queen mother, you can't figure it out, let alone which newcomers are they? The Queen Mother said helplessly: "The emperor has been pampering Chenxi for several months, and she is not pregnant with the emperor's heir." The emperor doesn't look down on others, how can this be good? The first emperor had six sons, but the emperor did not have one. ”
The next morning, the old concubine and the new concubine went together to greet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said to everyone: "In the future, you will all serve the same man in this harem, you must live in harmony, and don't be jealous all day long to annoy the emperor." If someone does not listen to the teachings, the mourning family will not hesitate to dispose of her. "Yes, the concubines and others will follow the teachings of the Queen Mother."
Ying Guiren said with a smile: "In this harem, except for the Queen Mother Yu Guifei Niangniang, who has the highest position, Zhen Zhaoyi Niangniang in this harem is the emperor's pillow person, the exclusive pet of the harem." If you use the words of our emperor, it is a confidante. There was a lot of jealousy in these words, and the Queen Mother was slightly unhappy after hearing it, "Noble Ying, as a noble person and an old concubine in the palace, how could you really forget what the mourning family said so quickly?" ”
Ying Guiren hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please forgive the Queen Mother, the concubine is unintentional." The Queen Mother didn't really pay attention to the Ying nobles, and let everyone go back to the palace to rest.
Yu Guifei took Princess Jiayi to play with Chenxi, and Yu Guifei said to Chenxi with a smile: "Since Zhen Zhaoyi's sister accepted Jiayi as a righteous daughter, Jiayi has been clamoring every day to come to Yikun Palace to play with her sister, I was afraid that the emperor was here, so I didn't bring her over, and I cried early this morning to come to my sister to play." No, as soon as I returned from the Queen Mother's Palace, she dragged me to find my sister, which really disturbed my sister. ”
Chenxi touched Princess Jiayi's head and said: "Don't bother at all, I have nothing to do in this Yikun Palace whenever I am alone, the emperor is busy with government affairs and rarely enters the harem during the day, so I am very idle during the day!" My sister can come over at any time if she wants, and my sister welcomes my sister and Jiayi to come to Yikun Palace to play. ”
Princess Jiayi went back after playing in Yikun Palace for a while. Today is already the second day of the newcomer entering the palace, if you don't summon a newcomer again, the queen mother will be blamed, so the emperor is ready to let the talented maid sleep.
The emperor really couldn't meet someone as bold as Chenxi again, and after the talented girl bathed and changed her clothes, she was carried in by the eunuch. I was nervous from the time I bathed and changed clothes, and I was even more nervous when I was carried to the emperor's dragon bed by the eunuch. No, no matter how nervous you are, you can't show it.
Although she was not very nervous, she was still seen through by the emperor, who said to her, "Let's go to sleep." "The emperor did not sleep facing her, she and the emperor covered a quilt with each other, and entered into their different dreams, and there is a word that is very suitable to describe them - sleeping in the same bed and dreaming differently.
