Chapter 336: Disbanding the Harem
The next day, Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen entered the palace, and after Lan Beichen first asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, he was separated by the Queen Mother.
"Jinse, the mourning family hasn't seen you for a long time, and you don't often come to the palace to accompany the mourning family." Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to be a little complaining, but her face was quite pleasant, Xia Jinse secretly glanced at it and guessed that Empress Dowager Zhang was not angry.
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, in fact, I also want to enter the palace, but there are too many things......"
Xia Jinse hurriedly apologized, but before she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, the mourning family doesn't really blame you." The mourning family knows that you and Beichen are busy, at the beginning of the new year, there are many things, every time Beichen enters the palace, he tells the mourning family that you have to take care of Tong'an Hall, and sometimes you are invited to the emergency department. Your brother also went to the border a few days ago, so you are naturally very busy. ”
"But Jinse, busy is busy, your body is important, but don't be too tired."
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Xia Jinse with a smile and beckoned to her: "Come, don't stand, come and sit next to the mourning family." ”
Xia Jinse walked over and sat on the couch next to the Empress Dowager Zhang: "Thank you for your concern, I remember, if I have time in the future, I will come into the palace to talk to the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager will not be annoyed by me, disturb your rest." ”
She was a little embarrassed, it turned out that Lan Beichen helped her say good things every time, no wonder the Queen Mother was not angry.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that I think she has a big face and doesn't like to talk to her old woman, so it will be troublesome
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled when she heard this, and was very satisfied: "Hey, you just have this heart, the mourning family can't always let you enter the palace to accompany you." You, the person who accompanies you more should be Beichen! You newlyweds Yan'er, you must have a good relationship, right? ”
Hearing this, Xia Jinse felt that something was wrong.
"That's good." She whispered.
It seems that the Queen Mother is really going to say it, and her eyes and smile are ambiguous, she must be asking her to give birth to a child quickly!
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhang took her hand, looked her up and down, her eyes fell below her waist, and said meaningfully: "Jinse, in this life, the mourning family has given birth to a total of five sons, but now only the emperor and Beichen are left." The emperor is not worried, anyway, he has a concubine, and there is no shortage of heirs. But it's Beichen ......"
Xia Jinse's head suddenly grew big, and he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Lan Beichen and I are still young!" ”
"It's good to be young!"
Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes lit up, patted Xia Jinse's hand and said seriously: "Young people are energetic and energetic, and you have a good relationship, you are together all day long, since you have become a parent, the top priority must be to have a child as soon as possible!" ”
"Jinse, you hurry up and give birth to a little son for the mourning family, this is Beichen's first child, it must be a son! In the future, if you give birth to a few more little county lords and little princes, then Beichen will have a successor. ”
Xia Jinse couldn't say anything except laughing dryly.
Sure enough, the royal family attaches great importance to her son, so she must give birth to a son first, how can she be sure? And give birth to a few more, when she sows? It's so dangerous to have a child, she can give birth to one at most, otherwise if something happens, it's too late to cry.
But she couldn't explain it to the Queen Mother, let alone refute it, the more the Empress Dowager Zhang spoke, the more energetic she became, and she reached out and touched her waist and crotch.
"Look at you, Jinse! It's too thin, it's not good to give birth, so you have to eat more! ”
"Yes, the Queen Mother......" Xia Jinse laughed dryly, embarrassed.
When she was helpless and restless, a palace maid came in and said to the Empress Dowager Zhang: "The Empress Dowager, it's not good!" The emperor is angry in Zichen Palace! ”
When Xia Jinse heard it, something happened, great!
Finally, I don't have to listen to the Queen Mother's nagging.
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and said, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”
"The slave maid didn't know, when the emperor saw the jade concubine, he actually lost his temper, saying that he would dissolve the harem and drive all the maidens out." The palace maid said in fear.
When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, her eyes shrank, and she lost her voice and said: "What is the emperor, to dissolve the harem?" Is he crazy? ”
"Now Concubine Yu, Concubine Ning, and Concubine Zhen are all kneeling outside the Zichen Palace, begging the emperor, but the emperor just doesn't listen, and loses his temper! Queen Mother, go and take a look! ”
Not to mention that Empress Dowager Zhang was angry, even Xia Jinse was shocked when she heard it, what happened to the emperor?
How can a good person dissolve the harem?
"It's just ...... What is the emperor going to make trouble again? is such an emperor's person, and he is not stable at all, and he even says such a thing as disbanding the harem! Empress Dowager Zhang stood up angrily, her face turned pale, Mama Song hurriedly helped her, and said: "Don't worry, the queen mother is just angry, how can the harem be disbanded!" Today, the ninth prince has also entered the palace, and he will definitely be able to persuade the emperor, let's go and see it first. ”
The group hurriedly left Chonghua Palace and headed towards Zichen Palace.
Xia Jinse followed closely by the Empress Dowager Zhang, and also supported her, and kept persuading the Empress Dowager Zhang to pay attention to her body along the way.
Whether it's true or not, this time Emperor Yuanqing is making a big fuss and is going to dissolve the harem, she is really curious about what happened.
Hurriedly arrived at the Zichen Palace, Xia Jinse really saw Concubine Yu and other concubines kneeling in the courtyard, all of them pitiful, and some of them were wiping tears. As soon as she saw the Empress Dowager Zhang coming, Concubine Yu cried and knelt in front of her, her eyes were red and said, "The Empress Dowager, your old man is here!" His Majesty...... The emperor doesn't want his concubines to wait......"
"Ask the queen mother to call the shots for the concubines and others...... "The concubines cried, and the scene made a mess.
I have never seen this kind of thing, Empress Dowager Zhang helped up the Jade Concubine, and said with a pale face: "Concubine Jade, don't cry first, since the mourning family is here, you won't let the emperor mess around!" You are waiting outside, and the mourning family will go in to find the emperor. ”
Concubine Yu grabbed the Empress Dowager Zhang and choked up: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor is not inside, just left, and went to the Cold Moon Palace again." ”
Cold Moon Palace......
Empress Dowager Zhang understood as soon as she heard it, her eyes lit up, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's this real concubine again, slut!" It turned out to be her! has been beaten into the cold palace by the emperor for so many years, and she is still a demon and asks the emperor to dissolve the harem! ”
The Cold Moon Palace is the Cold Palace, Xia Jinse knows.
didn't expect this matter to be related to the real concubine, what happened between the emperor and the real concubine?
Concubine Ning wiped her tears and cried: "Queen Mother, just now the emperor came back from the Cold Moon Palace, and he got angry for some reason, scolded Sister Yufei, and then said that he would dissolve the harem. The concubines have been waiting for some inappropriate things over the years, and they have failed to serve the emperor and the queen mother well, but they can't be guilty of death! ”
Concubine Zhen also stepped forward and cried: "That's it, the queen mother, the concubines and others also gave birth to a prince for the emperor, but now the emperor doesn't want concubines, how do these princes behave?" What do the civil and military officials think......"
"Presumptuous, too presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Zhang trembled and shouted: "It's all the fox spirit of the real concubine, I knew that the mourning family should have put her to death back then, and she shouldn't have stayed until now!" ”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry, Mama Song hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about the Ninth Prince?" Why didn't you see the Nine Princes? ”
Concubine Yu said: "The Ninth Prince and the Emperor have gone to the Cold Moon Palace together. ”
didn't care about staying longer, Empress Dowager Zhang walked towards the Lengyue Palace tremblingly, Mama Song and Xia Jinse supported her, followed by a group of concubines, a large group of people, and there were troubles along the way, which attracted the palace people to avoid them one after another.
Cold Palace - Cold Moon Palace.
Lan Beichen stood at the door, did not go in, he stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the movement in front of him.
In the dilapidated courtyard, it was completely different from other temples, and the weeds that withered and yellow in winter had not been removed, and new green grass had emerged. Yellow and green are intertwined, even more messy and desolate, the large water tank in the corner is half rotten, and the ground is scattered with broken cylinder pieces, and there is a lot of bird droppings.
The cornices are covered with cobwebs, the yellow leaves are sandwiched in the tiles, and the black lacquer of the palace pillars is mottled and covered with handprints.
Emperor Yuanqing shouted at the closed door, anxious and helpless: "Really, I will definitely do it, as long as it is something you say, I will do everything." If you don't want me to have a harem, I will disband, I don't want others, I want you. ”
"Really, do you have a word...... Come out and see me! ”
Woohoo Woo ...... Emperor Yuanqing eagerly patted the door, and the door of the palace kept falling dust. Obviously, he can kick it open as long as he uses force, but he doesn't dare at all, so he can only honestly bang on the door.
Father-in-law Lu cried with a sad face, wanted to pull but didn't dare, wanted to stop and cared about something, he was already anxious.
He didn't expect that when the emperor came to see the real concubine today, this kind of thing would happen.
The emperor read the record book and knew that today was the anniversary of his acquaintance with the real concubine, so he had to come to see the real concubine. How do you know that the two didn't say a word, they actually quarreled, the real concubine disdained the emperor's feelings over the years, saying that the emperor just didn't get her, so he never forgot it, if he was really only sincere to her, how could there be so many women in the harem?
In a hurry, the emperor said that he would disband the harem and prove it to the real concubine, which made a big fuss.
"I have already passed on the decree, let the Jade Concubine and the others move out of the harem within three days, and find their own way out, at most three days, the harem will be gone!"
As soon as the words fell, a female voice full of majesty said angrily: "Your Majesty, are you crazy? If the emperor dares to dissolve the harem, the mourning family will die in front of the emperor! ”
Gonggong Lu's heart jumped, and Emperor Yuanqing also turned around, only to see Empress Dowager Zhang with a group of concubines, angrily entering the cold palace, pointing at Emperor Yuanqing trembling: "Your Majesty, when will you still be fascinated by this fox?" ”
"Queen Mother......" Emperor Yuanqing looked at it, seemed to calm down a little, didn't knock on the door again, and hurriedly walked over.
"Why is the Queen Mother here? But it's good to come, I just have something to tell the Queen Mother. ”
Emperor Yuanqing's face was straight, and he mustered up the courage to say: "I want to dissolve the harem, and I will no longer have three wives and four concubines......
Before she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang scolded with her head and face: "Shut up! The emperor wants to dissolve the harem and no longer have three wives and four concubines, is this going to kill Daqing and the Lan family, and let the mourning family be scolded by the first emperor and the ancestors? Your Majesty, are you going to force the mourning family to death?! ”
These angry words rushed out of their mouths, and all the concubines were shocked and shaken, and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Zhang: "Please ask the emperor for forgiveness!" Don't leave your concubines behind...... "The emperor thinks twice......
Not far away, Xia Jinse and Lan Beichen stood together, looking at the amazing drama in front of them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Unexpectedly, the emperor is really here this time." Lan Beichen said lightly.
"What happened between the emperor and this real concubine? How did it make such a big fuss? Xia Jinse's curiosity reached its peak, and she could hardly imagine how this play would end.
At this moment, the closed palace door was opened.
With a squeak, attracting everyone's attention, Emperor Yuanqing turned his head suddenly, stared at the open palace door, and watched a woman in an off-white half-worn palace dress appear in front of him.
Empress Dowager Zhang, Mama Song, Concubine Yu, Concubine Ning, Concubine Zhen, and all the palace people, all eyes were aimed at this woman.
"Really!" Emperor Yuanqing suddenly became excited and rushed forward.
"Stop!" Empress Dowager Zhang shouted angrily, her face trembling: "If the emperor is with this woman again, don't blame the mourning family for being polite!" Today, she doesn't have me, there is me without her, the emperor chooses it himself! ”
