Chapter 0527 - Competing for favor in the palace
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is still very satisfied with the current situation in the Gyeonggi area, he can't control the outside world, but under his nose, he can't let himself be upset.
After dealing with more than ten hours of official business, he was really a little sleepy, he originally wanted to squint in the official hall of the Central Council for a while, but he thought about it or set up the Kunning Palace, he thought about his own Zhou Ke'er! Whenever I am tired, I think about my wife. Whenever I am energetic, I will think about a lot of what I don't have, which is a common problem for men.
Zhou Ke'er has not seen the emperor for many days, and since he found out in Chengtianmen that day, the emperor doesn't seem to want to hide his good impression of Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan, Zhou Ke'er has been a little lost.
Zhou Ke'er saw that the emperor was tired at this time, and he was indescribably happy, "The concubine has asked for peace for the long live lord." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not sleep regularly, and now the mechanism is different, he canceled the daily morning dynasty system, and changed it to a monthly court meeting, basically sleeping when he is sleepy, and sleeping for a while will continue to work, "I didn't want to come over, but I suddenly found that I miss you very much." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen pulled Zhou Ke'er up as he spoke, touched her belly, which had been more than three months, and bulged slightly, making the emperor very unhappy.
Zhou Keer accompanied the emperor into the palace, smiled slightly, and her heart warmed, the emperor cared about her, she was actually very clear about the emperor's flipping of the brand, the emperor had not turned over any concubine's brand for a long time since the last time he slept in his Kunning Palace, she was tantamount to being favored in the inner palace, and she was not jealous of Empress Zhang Yan of Yi'an. The emperor liked a man. She couldn't be jealous. What's more, the emperor and Zhang Yan will never have any reputation, and the Ming Dynasty is different from the barbarians, and will not marry whoever they want like the Manchurians.
In history, a large number of concubines of Huang Taiji are outrageous, after he defeated Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department, he took all the concubines of Lin Dan Khan as his own, and gave them all names! His favorite concubine was Da Yu'er. Da Yu'er's sister Hai Lanzhu was also accepted by Huang Taiji as her own, these are impossible in Daming, what mother and daughter marry a man together, brother and sister-in-law, these are unethical taboos!
Therefore, Zhou Keer looked at the emperor's very much about Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan, but she was very open, and even hoped that there would be something between the emperor and Zhang Yan, what she was most afraid of was that the emperor favored Tian Guifei, because. She was at odds with Concubine Tian.
It was afternoon, and it was getting dark. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen lay on the press bed, chatted with Zhou Keer for a few words, and then tilted his head and fell asleep, while Zhou Keer waited beside him like a palace maid.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that his heart was actually very small, very unsuitable for being an emperor, just take the matter of a woman, in fact, it is not easy for his heart to accommodate a woman, once he enters, it is not easy to pull it out, he will always think that he is not a free and easy character, such a character is actually the most unsuitable for being a king.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't fall asleep for a moment, he woke up, he had too many things in his heart, originally his sleep quality was very high, usually he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, at least for about two hours, but today he only slept for more than half an hour, not even an hour, because he wanted to go to see Tian Guifei, since he met Tian Jianzhang and Tian Hong in Yangzhou, he has been thinking about it, he wanted Tian Guifei to invite her father to live in Beijing for a while, and sent the Royal Forest Army to take over, In order to show the royal family's importance to the Tian family, and to improve the status of the Shanshan merchant gang among the many merchant gangs in the Ming Dynasty! If one day it really comes to the stage where you have to tear your face with those big landlords in Jiangnan and the Huizhou merchant gang, with the help of the Shanxi merchant gang, it can also relieve the pressure on the imperial court!
Zhou Ke'er woke up when she saw that the emperor had only slept for a while, her eyes were still red, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, have you only slept for a while?" Take more breaks, right? Otherwise, the concubines also came up to accompany the emperor? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "Don't bother, I remembered some official things and was anxious to do them, I slept for a while, and I already felt full of energy." ”
Zhou Ke'er sighed softly, although she had restrained herself, she still unconsciously revealed her worries about the emperor's lack of care for her body.
This kind of sigh is actually what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen dislikes the most, of course he also knows that Zhou Keer cares about himself, but he just doesn't like to be restrained, and the more others care about him, the more he will feel a big burden in his heart.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen got up quickly, "Don't be like this, don't you know how much I care about you in my heart?" I am the emperor, and I want to put the world first! We must put national affairs first. ”
Zhou Ke'er curled her pink lips, and her pink appearance provoked the emperor to fall in love for a while, took Empress Zhou into her arms, and patted her on the back of her powder, "Don't be so unhappy." ”
Zhou Ke'er sneered, "The concubine is not unhappy, the concubine is just worried that the emperor will not take care of her body, although official affairs are important, you must also pay attention to rest." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "I'm not a child, I understand." ”
Zhou Ke'er watched the emperor walk out, a moment of loss, since she was pregnant, her temper was a little more irritable than before.
Zhou Xinyi, the palace maid of Kunning Palace, waited for the emperor's dragon to leave the palace, and saw that the dragon was not going in the direction of the Central Courtyard, nor in the direction of Chengqian Palace, but towards Tian Guifei's Yuqing Palace, and hurriedly came back to report.
Empress Zhou replied lightly, "Got it." ”
Zhou Xinyi saw a trace of melancholy passing between the queen's eyebrows, and said angrily, "Niangniang, that Tian Xiuying is ugly, how can she compare with Niangniang." ”
Tian Guifei's appearance is comparable to that of Empress Zhou, in fact, several women who are related to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, Zhou Keer and Zheng Yuelin, and Tian Guifei are all about the same beauty, Yuan Guifei and Zhang Huiyi are almost the same beauty, the difference between the five people is very small, and even a hundred people can choose, if each person can only choose one woman, basically, no one will be able to take a large lead, and no one will lose very badly.
Therefore, Zhou Xinyi's sentence of Tian Xiuying's ugliness did not make Queen Zhou's mood much better, she had not seen Zheng Yuelin, but Tian Guifei's appearance was on par with herself, she was self-aware of this, "Mouthy, the emperor has not favored the concubine for a long time, this is nothing, don't say this in the future."
