Chapter 62: The Emperor's Concubine Yan
Faced with Yu Die'er's question, the person in charge also frowned: "Then the subordinates don't know, maybe, maybe...... No one can reach the grace of Yan Guifei. "The steward stumbled and spoke, and he stopped talking.
"Yan Guifei?" Yu Die'er didn't know that there was such a person in the palace in her previous life? Maybe it was unknown after the dynasty.
"Exactly, Concubine Yan is the favorite concubine of the former Emperor Shengqi Emperor. "The steward's word.
The Holy Banner Emperor is the honorific title of the emperor's grandfather, and the Holy Banner Emperor has been fighting horses for half his life, and a military flag is terrifying to the enemy. It's hard for Yu Die'er to imagine that such a majestic god-like emperor can't escape the beauty pass?
"What kind of grace is a favor that no one can reach?" Yu Butterfly said curiously.
The steward's face was embarrassed.
"It's just a few words of gossip, I won't say it, listen here, forget here, I will be the master of this Ximian Palace in the future, so I am curious to know a little bit about what this former master is. Yu Die'er saw that the steward had some concerns, so she lightly clarified the purpose.
The person in charge may also want to take this opportunity to stammer with the fish and butterflies, and he said for a long time: "My lord, take a step to speak." ”
The partition wall still has ears, not to mention that there are many people, but Yu Die'er understands, she ordered the minions to go to the front hall to put the items that were moved, and she followed the steward to the pavilion and sat down.
The steward subconsciously looked around again, it was indeed empty, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, don't blame, after all, discussing this matter is related to the emperor and the concubine of the previous dynasty, and if you are not careful, it will be a big crime, and your subordinates will not admit it after talking here." ”
Yu Die'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just curious, and I won't publicize it." ”
The steward talked about the former master of Ximian Palace, Yan Guifei.
"I heard that Concubine Yan is the first emperor hunting, met a girl, shocked, then brought back to the palace, according to those who have seen Concubine Yan said that this woman is born beautiful, charming and charming, as for how beautiful she is, but can not be described in words at all, only a smile and seductive, a glance will be confused, since she entered the palace, the emperor's three souls and six spirits were hooked away, everything to her first, when the position of the concubine was full, for her, the emperor added a concubine title, named Yan Guifei, in order to show the face of the country. ”
"Also a lot of construction, according to the preference of Concubine Yan to expand the Ximian Palace, on the flowers and trees in this garden, is also transplanted thousands of miles away, the day the palace is built, the whole palace feast, the day under the porch hangs hundreds of huge night pearls, dozens of bonfires are lit in front of the palace, but the fire is not firewood, but all the best sandalwood, extravagant. Concubine Yan is a special favorite, and it is very prosperous. ”
What's more, it was said that the emperor even had to put Concubine Yan on his lap and review it together, and he didn't want her to leave for a while. ”
As soon as the steward opened his mouth, he couldn't close the conversation box and talk eloquently, or these words were held in his heart and there was nowhere to say, but it was easy to finally say it, and the more secret things in his heart, the more tired and heavy his heart became.
Yu Die'er was amazed, a concubine could have such charm and honor? The emperor was firmly tied! Even political affairs did not shy away from her, it was really not simple.
"Could it be that Concubine Yan has unusual means in addition to being beautiful?" Yu Die'er frowned.
The steward shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and suddenly said: "I heard that in addition to looking like a fairy, he is good at calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and his hair is extremely long, seven or eight feet, scattered down and can be dragged on the ground, extremely graceful, coiled into a high bun, like a towering mountain, jewelry in the hair, even more dazzling." ”
"Then Concubine Yan doesn't have a son and a daughter?" asked Yu Die'er, because if she had an heir, she should not decline from then on. By grace, the descendants should also be crowned kings, and those who will not decline can only be known from the mouth of the old eunuch.
The steward shook his head again: "I heard that there is none, and then Concubine Yan disappeared, I don't know whether she is alive or dead." ”
"Missing?" Fish Butterfly was surprised.
"Yes, later the red merchant country in the south came to invade my Qiuchi border, the first emperor drove the expedition in person, Concubine Yan swore to accompany her, the emperor was reluctant to let her stay in Beijing, so he took her to the south, the first emperor was a general of Rongma, and after succeeding to the throne, he also fought in the south and the north, expanding the territory of countless people, I thought that this battle must be a great victory, but for some reason it was repeatedly defeated and retreated, the other party seemed to know the marching combat deployment in our army, so that my Qiuchi soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, only retreated. ”
"A careful deployment but is a big defeat, under the cover of the fog to retreat safely to Lincheng, after the fog dissipated, it was found that Concubine Yan was gone, the emperor was very sad, but because there were pursuers can not be found, can only give up, retreat to Lincheng, after getting the news of the defeat of the emperor, the Beijing division will pour the army of the country to the rescue, and finally resist the enemy, welcome back the emperor. ”
"I don't know if it's because of the defeat of the army, or because of the loss of Concubine Yan, after returning to Beijing, the emperor was depressed, and he didn't go to Ximian Palace again, and everyone was afraid of arousing the emperor's sadness, so they didn't dare to mention Ximian Palace, and gradually this palace was abandoned. After the death of the first emperor, the new lord did not mention the matter of repairing and giving the house, until the change of dynasty, to this dynasty, to the current emperor, it was given to the adult, I have to say that this is a special honor. The steward sighed!
"Honor?" asked Yu Die'er.
"Yes, Concubine Yan is favored but there is no one before Qiu Chi, and there is no one after him, such as the bold idea of his subordinates, maybe it is because no concubine can have this honor, so it has not been given, and those who can live in this palace must be the emperor's most important person. The adult healed the dragon body, and he is a hero, and he should be qualified to live. ”
Yu Die'er chuckled: "You can speak, this yard is now dilapidated, maybe no one likes it, and I have nowhere to live now, so I got this yard, and when you say it, it is a supreme grace." ”
She deliberately said such things like a complaint, so that the steward would feel that he had a sense of restraint, lest he say those words and be afraid that he would not be able to sleep. Talking about the emperor is a great crime of rebellion, and she has no intention of saying a few words of complaint to the emperor, so that the person in charge will rest assured, because she has said something rebellious, and she will definitely not expose herself.
Sure enough, when the steward saw her say this, the solemn worry on his face dissipated, and he smiled and said: "My lord said that I laughed, no one likes it? There are many people who like it, as far as the subordinates know, there are a few concubines who want this courtyard, but the emperor didn't allow it." Rest assured, this courtyard now looks dilapidated, and it will be eye-catching after repair, as far as the layout, materials, and materials in this palace are extraordinary, and adults will know it later. ”
The two casually gossiped a few more words and came to the main hall, Yu Die'er entered the hall, and the steward said that there was still something to do, so he took his leave.
The person in charge came out of Ximian Palace, went straight to the left, bypassed an artificial lake, passed a palace, and went all the way to Chongqi Palace, he walked in, which was the queen's bedroom today.
He kept his head down and kept going inside. There are plenty of lights and shadows in Chongqi Palace, and his shadow is long and short. He stopped outside the second gate, and the eunuch at the door saw that it was him, so he didn't ask much, but said, "Let's go, the queen is waiting." And he led him on.
"The slave sees the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" the steward entered the palace under the guidance of the eunuch and knelt respectfully.
"Take a seat for Steward Lu. The queen's face was calm and unwavering. The few words of exaltation actually called him the steward of the land.
His frightened Shane sat down, smiling properly.
In the palace, the errand must always have a smiling face, not drooping face, the masters look uncomfortable, but they can't laugh too much, too exaggerated, to smile just enough, the tips of the eyes are bent down, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, so that people can see the festive look.
At this moment, Steward Lu squinted his two old eyes, looking festive, so charitable and harmless, so dedicated and honest, but the queen clearly knew that this person had another face, ruthless, treacherous, and well-informed. In the palace, this kind of person can not be easily offended.
The steward's surname is Lu, and he is the small steward of a affairs department under the inner chamberlain, mainly responsible for cleaning and recuperating the palace, distributing items, etc., the position is not high, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the things that the concubines receive every month are in his hands, although how much should be received, he can't do it, but for example, items, the same things are good or bad, even if they are divided into watermelons, there is a difference between ripe and unripe, sweet or not, so although his position is not high, he is also a hot person.
"I heard that people have moved over?" said the queen slowly.
Who is she referring to, Steward Lu is like a mirror in his heart, the queen is worthy of being the queen, there is a little wind in this harem that can't hide her eyes, Yu Die'er just notified him to clean up, and he hasn't done much work, so this Chongqi Palace sent someone to ask him to go to the queen to reply after finishing his errand.
"Back to the queen mother, moved over. Settle them down, and the servants come. Steward Lu said carefully.
"Well, you have always been thoughtful, the palace is assured, but the Ximian Palace is in disrepair, there must be a lot of inconvenience, it should be rested and then moved, the imperial lady is the person who walks around the emperor, if it is not going well, be careful that the emperor will ask you for the crime. The queen took a sip of fragrant tea in the blue and white porcelain bowl and said casually.
Steward Lu knew that this was the queen's vague questioning to herself. Then he said: "Niang Niang Mingjian, it is not the slave who asked the imperial lady to move immediately, but the female official seems to be unwilling to stay in the Qinggong anymore, so he ordered the slave to clean the palace first, saying that it can live in people, so it is ......."
Oh? I don't want to be in the Chuqing Palace, but the prince has always loved her, why don't you want to be in the Chuqing Palace? Could it be that she can't get married as a female official, and she was kicked out by the prince? The queen caught this information, and her heart was happy, although this fish butterfly was from a humble background, but now she is deeply valued by the emperor, if she really falls out with the prince, she can win it over.
"Okay, this palace knows that this is not to blame you, it is the palace that is too worried, the fish female official is responsible for the emperor's dragon health and health, you must wait for a good service, the fish female official is from the people, maybe many things dare not open your mouth, you slaves don't just wait for orders, but also have bright eyes, go to Ximian Palace to walk around, observe words and looks, as long as there is something needed, what is missing, it is good to deal with it in time. The queen explained.
Steward Lu's heart was shocked, the queen wanted to stare at Ximian Palace by herself and monitor the actions of the fish female official. This task is very hot, on the one hand, it is a first-class female official, the emperor's imperial chamberlain, on the other hand, it is the queen of the mother's world, the lord of the harem, it is not a good thing to offend either of these two ends.
