Chapter 66, cooking tea in the snow and talking about heaven

Since ancient times, the eunuch family has often participated in the draft, and it is not surprising that it fell on Xiahou Jing's head. Lin Taohua looked away from her fingers and said with a smile: "If you don't want to, just think of a way to be brushed down." ”

In the past, when I watched TV, there were often show girls who did tricks and feet during the court selection, and it was not impossible to operate it, depending on whether she wanted to enter the palace or not.

Xiahou Jing laughed, bullying the monarch is going to harm the family, how can it be as simple as she said, not to mention that she has no chance to cheat even if she wants to.

"I don't participate in the draft, my grandfather sent me directly into the palace." She put down the teacup and said very bitterly.

"Huh?" Lin Taohua didn't pay special attention to the background of the eunuchs here, but she didn't expect that the Yue family of the Xiahou clan, the prefect of Yuzhou, would have such a deep background that they could directly stuff people into the palace.

Lin Taohua didn't stupidly ask her if she was willing, because the matter had come to this point, and it was up to Xiahou Jing whether she wanted it or not.

"Then do you want to help your grandfather?"

The ancestor sent his granddaughter into the palace with all his heart and soul to let her go to the palace to make soy sauce, either for her own family or for someone who wanted to support her.

Compared with entering the palace, helping her grandfather to run the government is what Xia Houjing is most tired of. She didn't think that she had so much ability to influence the court, and she didn't want to participate in all kinds of battles in the harem, and she was even more afraid that she would be swept into the quagmire if she was not careful, dragging the entire family into the abyss.

"I don't know." Xia Houjing closed her eyes in pain.

Lin Taohua flicked the carbon in the tea stove and chuckled: "Everyone says that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's love is unbelievable." In fact, the emperor is also a man, but he has more power and higher status. The emperor is just a special husband for the concubines in the harem. Hehe, what kind of man is Ah Jing in her mind today? ”

Xiahou Jing listened to Lin Taohua's words and disagreed, after all, the monarch is the minister, and the emperor is the monarch first, and then the husband. Listening to her ask herself what she thought of today's saint, her expression became confused again. She said: "The government and the opposition are singing praises of virtue. The whole world is saying that the current generation of martial arts masters is the master, but these are just his achievements, what do they have to do with me? All I want is a confidant. ”

Lin Taohua naturally doesn't know what kind of man the saint is today, but from the perspective of the livelihood of Jin Guomin, at least he is also a benevolent emperor, and he will not be particularly affectionate when he wants to treat his own woman, right? But who can say this kind of thing, she feels that fantasy is useless, since she can't hide it, she will go and see for herself whether the man who sits in the world is worth loving.

"A-Jing, let me tell you a few stories." Lin Taohua chuckled.

Xiahou Jing also wanted to know what Lin Taohua wanted to tell her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's see if I can solve my predicament." ”

Lin Taohua picked up the tea hanging on the open stove and added some hot tea to Xiahou Jing. The third junior high school was very eye-catching and sent two small stoves to cover their hands.

Lin Taohua held the warm hand stove and said slowly: "According to legend, in a country called Dahan, there is an emperor who was suppressed by the ministers, known as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Xuan was the grandson of the emperor, he drifted away in his childhood, and when he became an adult, he knew Xu Pingjun, the daughter of a small prison officer. ”

"Forget it, it's just ordinary and comfortable. Unexpectedly, one day he was put on the throne by a powerful minister. He has no real power in his hands, he is a puppet known to the government and the opposition, for his own safety, he can only obey the words of the powerful ministers, big and small, and he trembles every day. ”

"When the monarch ascends the throne, the head of the harem naturally cannot be vacant, so the ministers asked Emperor Xuan to make his daughter the queen. Emperor Xuan had a deep affection for his wife and was unwilling to obey the arrangement of the ministers, so he bravely stood up and tried to make the ministers support him, and set up Xu Pingjun as the queen, which shows that the emperor is also a human being and has sincerity. ”

Xiahou Jing listened and said indifferently: "Maybe it's because he didn't enjoy the taste of power, and he is more comfortable with Xu Pingjun than the daughter of a powerful minister, so he chose it like this, but he can be regarded as a husband with a conscience." ”

When Lin Taohua heard this, she blinked and said with a smile: "Hehe, what A-Jing said is reasonable, so let's talk about it differently." ”

"It is said that there is a wise emperor named Huang Taiji in the Jin State, who led the deployment of the expansion of territory and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, which can be described as a figure who holds the authority and commands the world. When he was about forty-three years old, he met a twenty-six-year-old girl, Hai Lanzhu, and immediately fell in love. ”

"He gave Hai Lanzhu a noble position, gave her a lingering affection, and also gave a rare amnesty to the world when their prince was born, you know, he didn't do it when he himself ascended the throne."

Later, Concubine Chen was seriously ill, and he ran and killed six horses for her day and night, and rushed back from the battlefield. Concubine Chen died of illness, Huang Taiji was extremely sad, did not eat or drink for six days and six nights, was in a coma for a while, and died two years later. Is Ah Jingjue's Emperor Taiji worthy of affection? ”

Xiahou Jing was very emotional, "It's rare to have such an affectionate emperor. ”

Lin Taohua smiled: "So, the emperor is not all a prodigal son who plays with flowers. ”

Xiahou Jing's eyes widened, "You dare to say that the emperor is a prodigal." ”

Lin Taojiao smiled: "What? Those men who have married a lot of wives and can choose people who can choose to faint every day when they sleep are not prodigals? ”

Xiahou Jing covered her mouth, "It's really bold, hehe, is there anything else?" ”

Lin Taohua also smiled happily and said with a smile: "Yes." Let's talk about the Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiuwenzhi was highly praised for his martial arts, and when he was young, he liked a famous beauty Yin Lihua, and once vowed to marry her. ”

"The wish was good, but the reality hit him hard. He encountered difficulties in accomplishing his great cause, and had to be forced to marry Guo Shengtong, the niece of a powerful general at that time, for political interests, and make her his successor. ”

"Heh, how can the emperor's words be credulous, if Yin Lihua believes it, she will be sad." Xiahou Jing shook her head and sneered.

Lin Taohua chuckled: "You can't say that." After the situation of the Han Dynasty stabilized, Liu Xiu abolished Empress Guo, fulfilled his oath, and established Yin Lihua as a queen to accompany her for the rest of her life. ”

"Hehe, in this way, Yin Lihua is not affectionately wrong."

Lin Taohua took a sip of tea: "What about Empress Guo?" ”

Xiahou Jing drank tea with her hand, "Heh, that's really a trust." ”

Lin Taohua said with a smile: "There are still several wives and concubines in the Xiaofu family, and the husband's heart is biased towards either side, which is harmful to other women, not to mention the ninety-five respect of the harem of three thousand?" Caused by the environment, it is either wronged himself or wronged others, if Lang Jun has you in his heart, why should you care that he gives a little of his mind to others? A palace person once said, don't seek to be single-minded, only to be attentive, I think it makes a lot of sense, what does A-Jing think? ”

Xiahou Jing was silent. Yes, since the people who are going to marry are already in groups of wives and concubines and cannot be changed, the women in the bureau can only try to adapt.

Lin Taohua saw her thinking silently, as if she had an understanding, so she added another cup of tea: "After talking about the emperor, let's talk about the survival of the imperial concubine." ”

"It's still this Han Dynasty. When Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, there was a concubine named Ban Jieyu, she was gentle and virtuous, she was very popular with Emperor Cheng, had a good reputation, and lived a good life. There are always beauties in the palace. One year, two peerless beauties came in, my sister Feiyan leaned on the railing and faced the wind, she could do palm dance, and her sister Hede had a plump body, jade skin and smooth skin, and the color of the country. ”

The two of them are not people who talk about female virtue, they only know that the love of the emperor is very important to them, so they try their best to compete for favor, and finally Feiyan is born as a dancing girl and becomes the queen. Their sisters have to be windy and rainy in the harem, and the limelight is unmatched, and Emperor Cheng's favorite concubine Ban Jieyu also had to retreat, and she was protected by the Queen Mother to survive. Ah Jing thinks it's better to be Ban Jieyu, or is it better to be Feiyan Hede? ”

Xiahou Jing listened carefully, but she was even more confused in her heart. She doesn't care about competing for favor, but she really wants to push Lang Jun who likes her to others like Ban Jieyu, and in the end she is in danger, isn't it stupid? But if you want to compete for favor, you will inevitably cheat you to the death, how can you be happy on this kind of day? Is it a fight, or is it not a fight?

"Hehe, I think you're complicated." Lin Taohua chuckled.

Xia Houjing looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Taohua smiled and said: "People do their best in the palace to obey the destiny of heaven, you just need to be yourself." ”

"Jinguo is now a country and a peaceful country, and today's saints are by no means general, how can the people in the harem not be able to tell if they are true or false? To treat the saint as a fool is to live impatiently. ”

"Since intrigues and tricks don't always end well, why don't you have more true temperament? After you enter the palace, let's see if our majesty fits in with each other. If it looks good, and he is attentive to you, you just have to love him as an ordinary husband, and be cautious in your words and deeds to prevent others from harming you. If it doesn't fit the eye, then you don't have to think about it, as long as you find a way to protect yourself, even if you cheat you to death, what is the psychological burden? It's just the situation. ”

Xiahou Jing's brain was a mess, "It's that simple?" ”

Lin Taohua glanced at her, "Then what do you think?" People's hearts are unpredictable, don't treat others as fools at will. If you want to love, you will sincerely change your sincerity, and if you don't want to love and can't get rid of it, you naturally don't care if he is comfortable or not, just be comfortable. As for those entanglements of interests, hehe, do your best, a little woman wants to play with the Holy Lord in the palm of her hand, I think it's better to wash and sleep. ”

"Hehe, my grandfather is afraid that he will be angry if he hears your words." Xiahou Jing was in a much better mood.

Lin Taohua pouted, "To say something disrespectful, he exchanged you for benefits, and it would be right for you to enter the palace honestly." How can he not miss family affection but want you to die for the family? ”

Xiahou Jing smiled: "I heard Yue Yang say that you are extremely important to the family, I can't believe that you said this." ”

Lin Taohua: "None of my family members will exchange me for benefits. ”

Xiahou Jing stopped talking and thought to herself.

"A-Jing, we've been out for a while, so let's go back first and come back when we have time." Xiahou saw that the conversation was almost over, so he offered to leave.

Xiahou Jing reluctantly held Lin Taohua's hand and didn't let go, Lin Taohua sent it a long way, and then she got into the carriage and left slowly.

Alas, I hope I can give her some warmth between husband and wife. Lin Taohua only felt that Hongyan couldn't help herself, and sighed very much in her heart.
