Xiao Yunu quickly became favored, and even on the first day of being favored, Li Chun thoughtfully ordered that Xiao Meiyi could sleep a little longer and not have to go to Penglai Hall to say hello.

For three days in a row, Li Chun went to Wangyun Tower as soon as he went to the court, and he didn't come to see Ning'er and You'er's two children.

Here, Penglai Hall continued to receive news, and for a while said that His Majesty felt that Wangyun Tower was too simple, and he rewarded a lot of furnishings; At one time, he said that His Majesty wanted to see Xiao Yunu dance, so he specially ordered the Shangfu Bureau to take good Shu brocade and light cloud yarn to make dance clothes for Xiao Yunu; For a while, it was said that Imperial Lady Xiao had embroidered a belt for His Majesty with her own hands, and His Majesty tied it.

His Majesty treated Xiao Meiyi so well, even she didn't seem to have enjoyed so much grace in the East Palace before.

When she first entered the East Palace, Li Chun was busy consolidating her position for the East Palace and dealing with King Shu, she was busy dealing with the large group of subordinates and concubines in the East Palace, and there was also His Royal Highness the Prince and Wang Liangdi watching on the top, so she didn't have time to do anything for Li Chun herself, and Li Chun didn't have the heart to take her to spend the moon.

Now that this Daming Palace is his, she is busy taking care of this Daming Palace for him, and he has the leisure and time to play with the little girl who is more idle than him.

talked too much, Nianyun was tired of hearing it, so she simply asked people not to report it to her, but only to report it to a few palace maids below, and then pick the most important one and then talk to her.

So the roots of the ears were much purer.

Soon it was the end of the year, which was Li Chun's first year on the throne, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet must be grand. The faint sadness and small emotions in Nian Yun's heart were quickly diluted by busyness, and he took care of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, although the banquet was at night, Nianyun still got up before dawn, went to the Sixth Division to inspect it, ordered the Shang Food Bureau to replace all the chopsticks of the banquet with ebony inlaid silver, and ordered the kabuki performed at the dinner to remove the "Breaking Array Music", which must be performed every festival.

After Li Chun finished discussing the major affairs in the court, he did not rush to retreat from the court immediately, but chatted with the ministers and cared about some short things in the family. After that, the Shangshi Bureau sent hot soup prison pills, which later generations called "dumplings", to share with the ministers.

When it was getting late, seeing that the hour was almost up, he led the ministers to Hanyuan Palace.

The concubines in the Hanyuan Hall have already been arranged, and when everyone comes in, their own palace maids and eunuchs will lead them to sit in order. The big banquet of the female dependents is also set up in the Hanyuan Palace, but in order to avoid suspicion, the female dependents are separated by a screen in the side hall, and the outside can see the hall outside, but the outside can not see the situation inside.

First of all, the ministers congratulated the emperor and the concubine, said many auspicious words, and some Hanlin scholars and others took out the hymns prepared in advance to offer.

At this time, the concubine ordered that the wine and food be served, and after the poems had been recited, Kabuki came in the main hall, and the dinner party officially began.

The three princes, Ning'er, Yun'er and You'er, also got up to toast the emperor, and the emperor smiled and said, "I see that my three emperors are so big!" ”

The troubled old minister stood up with a smile: "The princes are indeed not small, and the eldest prince is almost time to discuss relatives, right?" ”

But no, Ning'er is already in her teens, and Yun'er and You'er are not young. In this era when it is quite common to get married, it is indeed a little late to be married in your teens.

So soon another minister said: "It's the second prince and the third prince, you can also discuss marriage at this age, Your Majesty and the concubine Niangniang should make plans early." ”

This matter is both small and big. Although on the surface it seems to be just a family affair of a few princes, in fact, there are many issues involved.

For example, the establishment of reserves.

The position of this prince has not been decided, and the situation is unclear, so how should this family matter be decided? Marrying the crown princess and marrying the princess are different, both in terms of the family and the requirements for the girl herself.

These old foxes, knowing that they had only tried hard to persuade His Majesty to recruit concubines a while ago, and now they are urgently persuading His Majesty to establish a prince is a bit inappropriate, so they specially use the prince's personal affairs as a raft to test His Majesty's intentions.

Nian Yun was thinking about how to answer these old ministers, but he didn't expect You'er over there to stand up and say loudly: "Father! You'er doesn't want to marry someone else, if you have to choose a princess for You'er, You'er wants to marry Princess Taihe! ”

This fork was played well, and everyone in the hall laughed together. You'er saw that everyone was laughing, and she didn't know what they were laughing at for a while, so she said loudly: "What are you laughing at!" This king heard that there was a golden house in the Han Dynasty, couldn't this king do it? ”

Although the allusion to this golden house is beautiful, the ending is too bleak. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced at the age of six that if Gillian married him, he would store it in the golden house, but later, he really married Chen Ajiao as the queen, and the golden house became a cold palace.

Although she is a child, Nianyun has a little pimple in her heart, she can't live with friendship in her life, and she can't live with her only daughter anymore. In the future, You'er may want to be the crown prince or even the emperor, but Luoluo, a duckweed-like princess without foreign support, is far from being a good candidate to be the crown princess or queen.

She looked at You'er with a smile and said, "Silly child, don't talk nonsense." Taihe is a princess and your sister, how can you marry your sister? You'er, come to A-Niang. ”

You'er wanted to argue a few words, but seeing that everyone was laughing so happily, she obviously didn't take his words seriously, so she had to rub to Nianyun's side.

When he arrived at Nianyun's side, he still didn't want to give up, and whispered to Nianyun: "Auntie, I just want to marry Luoluo as my princess, Luoluo's grandfather is King Shu, and she is not my own sister!" ”

Nian Yun couldn't dissuade this serious child, so he smiled and said half-truths in You'er's ear: "Then look at it, there are so many people in this Daming Palace who want to harm you, and someone harmed you and Ning'er last time." If you marry Luoluo, someone will harm her. You say, can you protect her? ”

You'er lowered her head and thought about it, and asked in a low voice: "Then did Grandpa protect Grandpa?" ”

Nianyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "Your aunt has the ability to protect herself now, and your uncles will also protect your aunt, you don't need your grandfather to protect it, but Luoluo has no uncle or brother, so you can protect her only by being her brother!" ”

A few words made You'er dizzy, and she didn't say anything after thinking about it for a long time. Nian Yun smiled and put a piece of perilla barbecue on the table to his plate: "Taste it, this is good, A-Niang specially asked the Shangshi Bureau to prepare it." ”

You'er's attention was attracted by the food, and seeing that no one continued to talk about his choice of the princess, he stopped bothering and concentrated on fighting the barbecue. Ning Er on the side was a suspiciously crimson in front of her, but she was quickly covered by the hustle and bustle in the hall.

But those old ministers who don't give up still don't give up, and there are humanitarians: "Now the only one with a high rank in the Daming Palace is the Guo family, although Your Majesty has accepted many concubines, the canonization status is very low, this is a huge Daming Palace, and the Guo family is in power alone, it is a little hard......"

As soon as these words came out, not only the concubine, but even Guo Yan's face changed.

Nian Yun was Li Chun's wife, and now that Li Chun has ascended the throne, the Guo family has given up the position of the middle palace, which is equivalent to saying that his wife has become a concubine, these people are not satisfied, do they still want to stuff a few noble concubines into the division of power?

Could it be that she has worked hard for more than ten years to survive until His Majesty ascends the throne and gets the position of a noble concubine, these teenage girls have never experienced anything, but they expect to give her a disgrace as soon as they enter the palace?

Guo Yan immediately put the wine cup on the table, and said loudly: "Your Excellency doesn't know that the noble concubine Niangniang has been in charge of the crown princess seal of the East Palace since she married His Majesty as his wife in the ninth year of Zhenyuan, and the minister does not think that it is very hard to be in charge of the Daming Palace at this time. As for what you said about the new concubines, the rank is too low, don't you know that promotion in the harem also pays attention to merit and experience? Your Excellency is an official, is it possible that once you are on the list, you can worship the official and worship the Shangshu and be a very good minister? ”

These words made the man's old face red, but he still pleaded: "How can the harem be compared with the court? There are so many things in the court in a day, if it weren't for the veteran ministers with deep qualifications and rich experience, how could they handle things well for His Majesty? The harem is just a matter of serving His Majesty and giving birth to His Majesty, and a woman will do it, how can it be the same? ”

Guo Yan sneered: "Although the palace is not as good as the court, it also has to manage the Inner Servant Province, the Liushang Bureau, the Yeting Bureau, the Inner Palace Bureau, the Daming Palace, the Taiji Palace, and the Xingqing Palace add up to thousands of people, from the Emperor Taishang to the princess and princess, how many things can be done in a day, how can it be said that a woman can do it?" Your Majesty is the body of a true dragon, and it is to give birth to an heir to Your Majesty, I'm afraid that not everyone has this blessing? ”

The man was still arguing, but Guo Jun didn't give him a chance to speak, laughed three times, and said: "Guo heard that your old wife was murdered by a favored concubine, and the eldest son was forced to leave Beijing to go to the border, and the power of the family fell into the hands of the concubine, and the daughter-in-law and son-in-law were not innocent. ”

Although it was not a serious court meeting at this time, after all, the civil and military officials and His Majesty were watching, and the man was suddenly frightened and his face turned blue and white for a while. You must know that if someone intends to impeach him for such a crime as spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, or if His Majesty pays more attention to it, the black gauze hat on his head will not be guaranteed!

Guo Yan saw that he had completely lost his arrogance, and accepted it when he saw it, and he no longer continued to criticize and write, retreated to his seat, and continued to drink.

Li Chun sat on the top, but his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The voices of the people in the main hall fell silent, and only the kabuki could be heard whirling and dancing to the beat.

After a while, Li Chun suddenly spoke: "The concubine is really hard, in the future, you can also ask a few Baolin and the royal maid to follow and learn, and it is good to share some simple things." ”

At present, although there are still five Baolin and the royal maid, Li Baolin is a sick Shi, and there is no need to say that he has to stop and catch his breath after walking three steps. The local power behind Liu Baolin is too great, and he can't be too embarrassed. Lu and Pei have mediocre qualifications, even if they teach well, they may not be able to take charge on their own. Speaking of which, Your Majesty is probably paving the way for Xiao Meiyi.
