Chapter 566: Filling the Harem
When Wu Yunzhao and Gu Qianshan were concentrating on "praying for blessings" in Baiyun Temple, there were changes in the palace.
Without warning, Wu Tianxiang issued a holy decree to recruit women and fill the harem.
As soon as this decree came out, the harem and the former dynasty were in turmoil.
Now, it is Concubine Wen who takes care of the harem.
After the other concubines listened to the will, they came to Concubine Wen.
Since the death of the first queen, Wu Tianxiang has taken a very light view of women and stopped the draft. Since then, there have been only one or two new women in the harem every year.
Now, Wu Tianxiang is more than fifty years old, and he is so excited that he wants to be redrafted, which is really unexpected.
The concubine and others have been in the palace for many years, and their faces are no longer there, how can they not be afraid of "new people replacing old people".
Concubine De Mu Qiushui was the most anxious, and asked: "Sister Guifei, how many years, why did Your Majesty suddenly think of filling the harem?" ”
Concubine Wen was shocked and uneasy in her heart, but her face was calm, and she said lightly: "Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, you can do whatever you want, we, as concubines, cannot interfere with Your Majesty's actions." Your Majesty has worked hard for half his life, and if he is peaceful today, it is reasonable to want to pick some beauties to accompany him. ”
Concubine Mu De was gagged, so she had to nod, feeling depressed.
Concubine Su Ying said with a smile: "Sister Concubine De is in a hurry, why does Your Majesty want to fill the harem, should my sister go and ask Your Majesty, what's the use of asking Sister Guifei, is it deliberately causing trouble to Sister Guifei?" He chuckled and said, "As a concubine, if you want to share your worries for Your Majesty, Sister Concubine De should not forget her duty." ”
Concubine Mu De rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think of Sister Xian, how do you want to share your worries for Your Majesty?" ”
Concubine Su Xian said: "Your Majesty's will is fast and urgent, saying that it is to recruit women, but where do women come from?" Please show me the concubine. ”
Concubine Wen said in her heart: "Concubine De is reckless, either ask what she shouldn't ask, can't ask, or provoke, if it weren't for a good son, I really don't know what to say." ”
Thinking of the fifth prince Wu Shi Cheng and his son Wu Shi Ji being on the same page, fighting against the prince in the court, he secretly hated in his heart: "Why is my son not as stupid as his mother, it's really hateful." But he replied to Concubine Su Xian with a smile: "What Sister Xianfei said is true." His Majesty's will was really sudden. The main palace manages the affairs of the harem, and it is impossible not to ask. Your Majesty said that the draft is not what Your Majesty wants. Therefore, the women recruited this time were selected from the school-age women and palace maids in the families of the officials of the imperial city. Of course, those who have a marriage contract don't count. ”
Concubine Su Xian smiled: "I see. In this way, the palace is full of sisters, kiss and kiss. "I secretly thought that my mother's family had the right person.
If they were to be chosen from outsiders, they would not be happy. But if they are selected from their own families, they are happy to be called "old men in the palace".
If the girls of their own family are favored by His Majesty, it is a good help to blow the wind on the pillow and say good things for their prince.
Concubine Mu De said bluntly: "What kind of sisters, kisses and kisses, sisters, and palace maids." How many palace maids are you sisters? ”
As soon as Concubine Mu De said this, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Everyone knows that Concubine Shu was born as a palace maid. But she is already in the concubine position, her name is only below the concubine, and there is a prince under her knees, and no one dares to say her origin to her face.
Concubine Mu De was speechless, but she didn't know it, and said proudly: "Sister, why don't you speak?" ”
Concubine Su Xian seemed to be smiling, and her eyes glanced at Concubine Bai Shu.
Concubine Mu De's heart sudden: "Why did you forget her." But I thought, I was born noble, how could I be afraid of a palace maid, so I calmed down, "coughed" heavily, and picked up the teacup to drink tea.
Concubine Bai smiled lightly at the concubine and said that she didn't mind.
Concubine Wen said with a smile: "I wasn't a sister before, but after I got His Majesty's mercy, I was a sister." Your Majesty said that thirty people should be selected from among the official women, and twenty from the palace maids, for a total of fifty people, which is not a lot. The selection of the daughters of officials is handled by the people of the household department, and the selection of palace maids is handled by the main palace. The sisters have served His Majesty for many years and know His Majesty's intentions, and if you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend them to help the palace complete this matter quickly. ”
Subsequently, Concubine Wen sent the girls away, leaving only Concubine Bai Shu to discuss.
Concubine Wen said: "Sister Shufei, what do you think about this?" ”
Concubine Bai said: "Sister Guifei, I think Your Majesty has tasted the sweetness in Sister Chen, and my heart has come to life again." ”
Concubine Wen sighed: "This palace also thinks so. Concubine Chen is young, her face is like a flower, charming and lovely, but it's not sweet. He sighed again and said, "Seeing that Concubine Chen is about to give birth, the imperial doctors all say that she is a prince." His Majesty was overjoyed. ”
Concubine Chen did not come to the party because of her heavy body.
When Concubine Wen mentioned Concubine Chen, she sighed twice in one sentence, which showed that she was depressed in her heart: The sacred heart is unpredictable, if Your Majesty chooses her youngest son as the crown prince, then her own years of business will be in vain. And looking at this momentum, I don't know how many younger sons there will be in the future.
Bai Shufei said: "Your Majesty has indeed been radiant recently. ”
Concubine Wen said angrily: "I don't know what method that demon girl used, she got His Majesty's favor, and she really made a child, it's hateful." ”
Concubine Bai Shu said softly: "It is rumored in the palace that Concubine Chen's sister is bold, which is deeply pleasing to Your Majesty. ”
Concubine Wen said: "Bold, it's not some cheap means, hmph, it's really good that the Liu family has a woman like this." ”
Concubine Bai Shufei said: "The daughter of Jiangmen must be extraordinary. ”
Concubine Wen took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty wants to spread out the branches and leaves by himself, but the position of the crown prince has not been decided, which makes it difficult for people to sleep and eat." ”
Concubine Bai Shufei said: "My sister doesn't dare to talk about the prince's decision. ”
Concubine Wen said in her heart: "What dare you dare to say what you can't count on." But thinking that Concubine Bai Shufei had always been well-behaved, loyal to herself, and did not say anything sarcastic, and wanted the draft to be a foregone conclusion, she jumped on this topic and said: "The princess just came back one day, turned around and took the horse to the Taoist temple, what a smart person." ”
Concubine Bai Shu said: "The princess is the most favored by Your Majesty, and she has a deep relationship with Your Majesty's father and daughter. Come to think of it, I can see the changes in His Majesty clearly. By the way, Sister Guifei, yesterday His Majesty went to the Wutong Hall with the princess and the concubine for a long time, is this Guangnan woman a method proposed by the princess in order to please her father, otherwise, how could Your Majesty suddenly make an order. ”
Concubine Wen shook her head and said, "Never." The princess is not a stupid person, how could she cut off her future. ”
Bai Shufei said: "What does Sister Guifei mean? ”
Concubine Wen said: "Wutong Hall is the residence of the first queen, how dare the princess ask His Majesty to accept women in front of her mother?" Your Majesty used to be a good woman, but since the death of the former queen, it has not been absurd again. If the princess mentions this, she is putting what Her Majesty thinks on the table, and she will offend Her Majesty ruthlessly. Moreover, the princess is favored, on the one hand, because she looks similar to the former queen, and His Majesty loves the house and Wu, and on the other hand, because she is the only princess in the palace. If Your Majesty accepts a woman, and a princess is born in the future, her favor will be divided. How can a married daughter compare with a daughter who is always around? The Shangguan family is gone, and the princess's only reliance is His Majesty's favor. Therefore, the matter would never have been proposed by the princess. ”
Bai Shufei smiled: "What my sister said is true." ”
Concubine Wen said: "Right now, the princess is still favored. Concubine Chen and the one in her belly may not be as good as that. ”
Concubine Bai Shu said: "I don't know what will happen to Your Majesty if the princess has a child?" ”
Concubine Wen said: "What can it be?" Spoil her to heaven. The princess is a concubine, and this cannot be changed. ”
Bai Shufei nodded.
At this moment, the maid passed the news that the warrior Ji came to greet Concubine Wen.
Concubine Bai Shu said: "My sister doesn't bother my sister and the fourth prince, so I will leave first." He walked out and ran into a samurai at the door.
After saluting, Wu Shiji said: "Concubine Shuniang, I entered the palace with the third brother, and the third brother is waiting in your palace." ”
Concubine Bai Shu said with a smile: "Thank you to the fourth prince for informing me, this palace is going now." ”
The warrior said: "Congratulations to the lady concubine." He turned around and entered, walked in front of Concubine Wen, and called, "Mother." ”
Concubine Wen asked people to sit down and asked, "Why did you enter the palace at this time?" ”
Samurai Ji said: "What else can it be?" Naturally, because my father wants to be drafted. ”
Concubine Wen said: "If your father wants to choose, let him choose." As a son, what do you care? ”
Wu Shiji said: "Watching my father destroy the reputation? ”
