Chapter 821: Draft Girl (II)
Han Jian saw that Li Fangwei was only courteous, and he gave Xiao Zhan face, and he had an explanation for Sima Yi, who was in the Southern Dynasty, as for wanting to completely dismiss the army and give up the opportunity to dominate the world, he was unwilling. But Li Fangwei thought that he was done, and he would be reused by the empress after he returned.
Han Jian returned to the palace, at this time, for the upcoming New Year, the palace has been hanging lanterns, and the red lanterns that have been dusty for a long time have also been moved out, and the palace has not been so prosperous for twenty years.
When he arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian first read the manuscripts sent over by Shangshutai, all of them were inconsequential local transcripts, and there was nothing too big, except for the corruption case in the granary of Jiangdu that Han Jian needed to deal with personally, Han Jian drafted an edict for people to pass to Jiangdu, so he put down the matter at hand and entered the inner palace, originally wanted to ask Yang Li'er about entering the draft girl, only to know that there were not many people who had just been sent to the palace, Yang Li'er asked the palace maid to send the candidate show girl to the courtyards, and there was no accurate news yet.
"Xianggong came back really early, but with these ladies who entered the palace in my heart, I can't help but want to see who will warm the quilt in the future?" When Yang Li'er heard that Han Jian was back, she hurried to Wencheng Hall to meet her, and when she saw Han Jian, she was very jealous as if she was ridiculing.
Han Jian said with a smile: "You still know my mind, but that's what my husband thinks." ”
After saying that, she was pinched hard by Yang Li'er, but Yang Li'er was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Everyone has sent it to the princesses of the county, but I don't know what the choice is over there...... Why don't you go back to Dongwangfu to see Erniang. ”
Suddenly talking about Han Song's for no reason, the smile on Han Jian's face faded. If the courtiers dared to say it so blatantly, he would have to take people to punish him, but he still couldn't harden his heart in the face of Yang Li'er, how to say that Yang Li'er also wanted to make the family harmonious. Han Jian said: "Let's talk about it later." ”
Yang Li'er lowered her head and said: "Maybe the concubine shouldn't say it, but now it's the Spring Festival, and Erniang is so lonely and miserable to stay in the Dongwang Mansion alone." If the concubine is also disliked by her children in the future, it will really be a little sad. ”
Han Jian was no longer speechless, he hadn't figured out how to deal with Han Song's affairs, and Yang Rui's relationship with him was also very cold. Just as Han Jian sat down and didn't wait for a sip of tea, a little eunuch hurriedly handed over the book that Ning Yuan had sent to the palace.
"It's really hard to be idle." Han Jian took the notebook, but it was Ning Yuan who sent all the selected show girls into the palace, and everyone was already waiting in the Bi'an Palace. After Han Jian read it, he handed the recital to Yang Li'er.
Yang Li'er looked at it and said, "I didn't expect that Master Ning was also responsible for doing things, so many people." It took more than a day to get it done. ”
Han Jian said: "This is just the candidate show girls around Luoyang, plus the surroundings of Luoyang, and those sent from all over the country in the next half a year, the number of people will be more, and you will be busy at that time." ”
"Oh." Yang Li'er responded, and immediately felt a little absent-minded, as if thinking about things. At noon, Han Jian said about the canonization of the queen, which means that Han Jian does not plan to drag this matter down again, and now Han Jian said that she will be responsible for the affairs of the draft girl in the future. But that was the task of the Lord of the Six Palaces, and she couldn't help but wonder if Han Jian was ready to canonize her as the queen.
"What do you think? Everyone has entered the palace, you take people over to have a look, and send them to the palaces and courtyards. Han Jian said.
Yang Li'er nodded in response, hurriedly retired and took the maid to the side of the palace, and Han Jian went inside to accompany Gu Xin'er. Originally, Han Jian was going to go to Yang Rui's place for the night at night, and he also wanted to give Gu Xin'er a breeze in advance. Let her know about the canonization of the queen.
Gu Xin'er was very indifferent when she learned about the canonization of the queen, and basically didn't react, she was also a first-time mother, and there were some things that she hadn't considered so long-term. Wen'er next to her was shouting: "Young master, who do you want to crown as the queen?" Since it is said that it will be announced tomorrow. Why can't you say it today? ”
Han Jian stretched out his hand and pinched Wen'er's nose and said, "Anyway, it's not you little naughty spirit." ”
Wen'er touched her pinched nose, and said with some dissatisfaction: "People don't want to be queens, but ...... Forget it, it's just plain said, Sister Xin'er doesn't allow me to chew the root of my tongue casually. ”
Han Jian couldn't help but smile, Wen'er's habit is to chew the root of her tongue, which is also a habit she developed as a maid before, she was well-behaved and lovely when she was young, and when she was older, she began to gossip and even like to stir up trouble, anyway, she is Han Jian's personal maid, if Han Jian hurts her, she can ask Han Jian to make decisions for her, if you talk about the relationship with Han Jian, she is even closer than Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er, and even Han Jian's small habits of diet and daily life She also knows it clearly.
While talking, the nurse brought the little prince in, Gu Xin'er took it and held the child in her arms, although she is now in the palace, but Han Jian is particularly fond of the women around her, it stands to reason that the women of the palace cannot often see their children after giving birth, and there will be someone to take care of them, this is to prevent the little prince from moving back and forth to get sick. Han Jian didn't have so many scruples, so Gu Xin'er could see the child at any time, but she couldn't stay in the room at night, but needed someone to take care of her.
Han Jian saw Gu Xin'er teasing the child with a loving smile on her face, and asked, "Today's draft girl, how many did you choose yesterday, did you send them?" ”
Gu Xin'er shook her head and said, "I said that I haven't entered the palace yet, and it may not be until tomorrow." ”
Han Jian nodded, he was going to leave for Yang Rui immediately, but at this time, it happened that Yang Li'er sent the show girl, Han Jian walked out, but saw six or seven slim girls coming over under the guidance of the female officer, Yang Li'er came over and said, "People are here." ”
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, looking at Gu Xin'er who was holding the child and welcoming out of the door, and Wen'er who was standing next to him.
Wen'er looked at the show girl in front of her, as if she was looking for some shadow, but she whispered: "Why is it different from the painting?" ”
No matter how clever the painters of this era were, they could not realistically paint the woman's face, and the portrait could only describe the general appearance of the person at most, and even the photos could not reflect the real appearance, let alone the portrait. But in general, these women are quite polite, but maybe because of the lack of exercise, the proportions of their bodies are very average, Han Jian just looked at it. It did not attract his special attention.
"You choose, I have something to believe and depart." Han Jian said.
Wen'er came over and took Han Jian's hand a little reluctantly, but it was not the day Han Jian stayed overnight, and she couldn't stay if Han Jian wanted to leave. Yang Li'er walked out with Han Jian, as if she said casually: "These show girls are good in appearance and demeanor, can they be fancy?" ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "There are so many maids and maids in the Dongwang Mansion. But in the end, I don't have a few sisters around me to be you. ”
Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian and said: "What about it, the people around me are not close, the girls in the Dongwang Mansion are all from small families, but these are different, how can everyone be compared?" ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "You can watch the choice yourself, don't always think about what I mean, otherwise I really don't know whether to choose a girl for you or a concubine for me." ”
Yang Li'er finally smiled: "Aren't they all the same? The show girl was originally a reserve for the concubines in the palace. Since Xianggong wants to pretend to be a gesture, then the concubine body can follow your wishes, there is no concern, it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, regardless of her appearance, just send her out of the palace so as not to be upset, hum. ”
Facing Yang Li'er's demeanor like a little daughter's family, Han Jian was also slightly relieved in his heart. When Yang Li'er got married, he was most worried about whether Yang Li'er could integrate into the life of the East Palace, and now it seems that Yang Li'er has completely let go. This is also the reason why he cherishes it, and the other female relatives in the Dongwang Mansion do not have so many intrigues, after all, they are a family, and the surrounding environment is a temperament that can support people.
Separated from Yang Li'er, Han Jian went to Yang Rui's bedroom, because Han Jian specially placed the place where the ladies of the Eastern Wangfu were placed far away from Yang Rui's bedroom. It's still a long way to go. But before he arrived at the gate of Yang Rui's dormitory, a group of palace maids gathered together as if looking at someone, and Han Jian stepped forward to realize that there was a well in front of him.
"What's going on?" Han Jian stepped forward and asked.
A palace maid recognized Han Jian as the emperor. Quickly kneel down and kowtow, so that whether you recognize it or not, you will quickly kowtow and salute. Han Jian glanced forward, but saw that there was a woman on the edge of the well who had just been fished out of the water, and her mouth was still spitting water, obviously a lot of water had been poured into her lungs, and the clothes on the woman's body were not palace clothes, but the clothes of a show girl.
"What the hell is going on?" Han Jian asked coldly, glanced to the side, and there were also several show girls kneeling next to him.
A little eunuch who was in charge hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "If you go back to Your Majesty, these are all show girls from the Bi'an Palace, and they are sent to various courtyards for selection, but ...... But halfway through, there was an eyeless show girl...... I threw myself into the well, and I just fished it out. Please also ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins, it is not a villain and other protection is not good......"
Han Jian said: "Save people first, please come over." If the person is saved, ask clearly, and if you really don't want to enter the palace, you can send it out. ”
Han Jian had a black face, the suicide of the show girl happened when Yang Xi was choosing the crown princess, but at that time, in order to avoid choosing the crown princess, the families were looking for a maid to replace the master to die, and now suddenly a woman with three chastity and nine spirits went directly to the well, and didn't let her die in the palace for the rest of her life, so she could find death and life?
Han Jian didn't pay much attention to it, and went to Yang Rui's bedroom.
When she arrived at Yang Rui's dormitory, Hui'er was sitting on a chair outside with her head bowed and falling asleep, with a brazier next to her to keep warm, Han Jian walked inside and gently pushed her, she opened her eyes, and saw that it was Han Jian who was happy first, and then she was shocked and quickly knelt down and saluted.
"I want to sleep on the bed, and I have to face the brazier like this, and I am not afraid of accidents." Han Jian said.
"Yes." Hui'er knelt on the ground as if she was scared.
Yang Rui's voice came from inside: "It's really a deep love between master and servant." ”
Han Jian knew that Yang Rui always looked at Hui'er unpleasantly, and the more he cared about Hui'er, the more he provoked Yang Rui's disgust. But Han Jian knew that Yang Rui didn't hate Hui'er, but just used Hui'er as a punching bag.
Han Jian entered inside, Yang Rui was still taking care of the little princess personally, Han Jian sat down, and Yang Rui didn't even turn his head to him.
Han Jian said: "Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses have withdrawn from the grassland, and the soldiers and horses are about to return to Luoyang in the near future. ”
Yang Rui said: "With Your Majesty's intentions, in what capacity will the concubines go to see you?" Once the Son of Heaven? Or a down-and-out king? ”
Han Jian said: "If you want, you can be the queen." ”
Yang Rui showed a slightly miserable smile on his face, but he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let's take back this thought." Now I just want my daughter to grow up well, and I don't have to worry about other things, what kings and queens are all passing by the clouds, if I am not still in the palace, I would not be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light, and I will save the troubles of the world. ”
Han Jian was a little unhappy in his heart, before Yang Rui committed to him, he had always wanted to make trouble. Although Han Jian still doesn't understand why Yang Rui has the courage to put down the throne and become a monk, there may be some political compromises and conspiracies behind his back, but now after listening to Yang Rui's words, he always feels that Yang Rui is angry with him in this way. A mature woman with a husband and a daughter, but she said that she wanted to be with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time, isn't it a temper?
Han Jian said: "Tomorrow I will be crowned queen." ”
"Hmm." Yang Rui nodded, but still didn't turn his head to look at Han Jian, "Is it Qi'er or Xin'er?" No matter which one you choose, I'm afraid that the other will have a great loss in their hearts, feel out of favor, and even if they don't say it, they will mind in their hearts. Who wants their son to give up his status as a son-in-law? ”
Han Jian said: "If you are willing to be the queen, do you still have so many concerns?" What I think is that both sides are not bad, the East Palace and the West Palace, the two queens, one article and one martial arts, have an explanation for the people of the world, and they also have an explanation for the two of them. ”
Yang Ruiden stopped talking.
Han Jian knew that even if he could ornate two queens at one time and solve the dispute between Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er, he would still be unflattering to Yang Rui. After Yang Rui's abdication, he actually kept in mind the problem of his eldest son, Han Jian promised that he would let his eldest son Han Xi succeed to Yang Rui's name, which was to prepare for Han Xi's accession to the throne, and now Yang Rui just gave birth to a daughter and then canonized the queen, which basically means that the problem of the crown prince has nothing to do with Yang Rui.
Han Jian said: "If you have anything to say, or I said it for you." Regarding the matter of the crown prince, I will not discuss it in the past few years, even if Xiang'er and Xin'er can be queens, but I still want to use you and my children as princes, I believe that the people in the court and the opposition will not have much discussion, and Xin'er and Xin'er can also understand. ”
Yang Rui sneered: "Then I really thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but unfortunately some things are too axe and chiseled, and they are not good deeds." The prince does not stand for a day, and the country is unstable for a day. ”
Han Jian said: "Say whatever you want." Also, I am going to send troops south after the beginning of spring, and I will still have to drive the expedition in person, but this time, I hope you will be by my side, enjoy the blessings together, and come together in trouble. (To be continued......)
