Chapter 173: Canonization of the Jade Concubine
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Gu Shiqing is in charge of the Tongzhou case, and it will be investigated to the end."
"With the book of the Ministry of Rites, I will discuss with King Gedan, and Princess Gunara will enter the palace as a concubine."
"Officials with three grades or above, and there are women of appropriate age in the family, report to the Ministry of Rites, and the queen, concubine, and virtuous concubine will select those who have good morality, speech, and merit to enrich the harem."
……
Unlike these decrees, there was also an edict sent to the Nanxun Palace.
Wang Gonggong smiled and said to Yan Shaoxun: "Sixth prince, the emperor has an edict for you, you don't need to salute, you just listen." ”
Yan Shaoxun looked at it with a smile, and Xiao Yuzi stuffed a bulging purse into Wang's father-in-law's cuffs.
Gonggong Wang touched the weight, smiled more sincerely, and said: "Sixth prince, that slave is not official, the emperor means, let you prepare and go to the Ministry of Rites to help." ”
"Going to the Ministry of Rites to help?"
Yan Shaoxun was a little strange, how could Emperor Hong Zheng let himself go to the Ministry of Rites? According to his ambitions, even if he can't go to the Ministry of War, he should go to Honglu Temple to do diplomacy?
Gonggong Wang coughed lightly a few times and said in a low voice: "The emperor said that let the six princes learn the truth that they are not in their position and do not seek their own politics. ”
Broken!
Yan Shaoxun knew that he was afraid that he would hit the muzzle of the gun, and Emperor Hong Zheng was warning himself not to interfere in government affairs.
"Thank you Father-in-law Wang, then I will go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to study."
Sending away Wang's father-in-law, Yan Shaoxun's mouth was bitter, could it be that Dugu Jia was interrogated for something, so Emperor Hongzheng was a soldier?
What bad luck! The hard-working copywriting was rejected.
Fortunately, in the evening, Concubine Bai Xian sent someone to send a message, "The Ministry of Rites has a lot to do", which made him look a little gloomy.
Yan Shaoxun thought about it repeatedly, and then contacted a few of today's wills, and his heart began to burn. What does Concubine Bai Xian mean by borrowing a few concubines to make a few internal responses and blowing the wind on the pillow?
No, that's the next step.
Yan Shaoxun remembered the ancestor of the palace fighting drama "Golden Branch Desire", and let those show girls be willing to use it for themselves. is like the jade sandalwood in "Step by Step", what a good internal response, unswerving to death.
Lord Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went to King Ge Dan to discuss for a while, and left the dowry he brought, and then left with a smile.
After King Ge Dan waited for him to leave, he flipped through the gift list at random.
"Someone, send the gift list and things to Gunara's room, let her prepare, and enter the palace in three days."
Gunnara was puzzled and watched as the guards moved into nine large boxes, leaving a gift list and retiring. Curious: "Reza, who gave this gift?" ”
Reza obviously already knew, and said with a pale face: "Princess, this is a dowry from Da Zhou, let the princess be the imperial concubine." ”
Gunara's emerald eyes flashed, and she asked, "Isn't it the Sixth Prince?" Could it be the Five Princes? Why is your face so ugly? ”
"Princess, it's not the princess, it's the princess, the title has come down, it's the jade concubine."
Reza looked at the flower-like Gunara and felt sorry for the princess. How many young and powerful men on the grassland asked the princess to marry, but the king did not agree, and he wanted to come to Da Zhou and marry the prince.
But now, the prince did not get married, but wanted to marry the emperor who was over forty years old.
Gunara was in a trance and muttered, "Is the emperor going to marry me?" also named me a jade concubine. ”
"Yes, princess. These are all dowry gifts from the Ministry of Rites. ”
Reza looked at Gu Nara, whose expression changed, and whispered: "The Great Zhou Emperor has a queen, and there are four virtuous and noble concubines below the queen, and the four concubines are princesses. ”
Gunara threw the gift book far away, and was about to open the box and smash things.
Ji Li, who had been guarding the side and was silent, stopped: "Princess, the king has an order, these things will be sent back to the grassland in the future." The king will divide a box and give it to Concubine Fang Lei. ”
Gunara's hand stopped, then drooped and sat down on the bed.
Ji Li said again: "Princess, the king said, if the princess still has something to think about, you can ask the king." But the princess must not be ugly, but laugh. There are spies everywhere, don't misunderstand that the princess is dissatisfied. ”
Gunara put the veil back on and silently went to King Godan's chamber.
"Big brother."
"I know you're coming, sitting. This is the famous pear blossom white of Da Zhou, come, taste. ”
On the table in front of King Ge Dan, there are several exquisite side dishes, including beef tenderloin with double peppers, assorted lamb offal, boiled beef slices, steamed mutton pork ribs, and a beef soup with mountain mushrooms.
In addition, there is a pot of wine, two bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks.
Gunara sat down silently, took the jade cup handed over by King Gedan, took a sip silently, and then drank it all.
"How does it taste?"
"There is no fishy smell of mare's milk wine, sweet and comfortable, and delicious."
King Ge Dan held the chopsticks again, put a chopstick of beef tenderloin into the Gunnara bowl, and said with a smile: "What about this? ”
Gunara put it in her mouth, the smooth and fresh aroma of beef danced on the tip of her tongue, and her stomach, which was not hungry, suddenly empty, desperate to fill.
"Is this beef?"
King Ge Dan nodded, tasted a few other dishes by himself, and said seriously: "Gunala, do you think it is better on the grassland?" Or is this capital better? ”
Gunara understood what the eldest brother meant, but she still wanted to fight.
"Big brother, you said that marrying the prince is the royal way that the military advisor said, why should you marry the emperor?"
King Ge Dan's face was full of beard, and he couldn't see what his expression was, so he only said: "In the past few years, there have been no newcomers in the harem, and you will be a concubine as soon as you go, which shows that the emperor takes a fancy to you." ”
"But the emperor is forty years old, older than his father Khan!"
Gunara remembered her flowery age and wanted to commit herself to a man older than her father, and felt a little aggrieved.
"Gunara, think about it, if you are angry, you can give birth to a boy and a girl. Then you are in Da Zhou, and you will definitely be able to call the wind and rain. Didn't you see last night that the queen was going to be unlucky? ”
As he spoke, King Ge Dan took another chopstick of haggis and put it in his mouth.
"The food of this big week, and the abundance, Gunara, aren't you tempted? The queen and the fourth concubine are old, but you are the pearl of the grassland, younger and more beautiful than them. If you are favored, then the harem is not up to you? ”
King Gedan's step-by-step guidance made Gunara very tempted.
She felt that with her extraordinary appearance, she would definitely fascinate Emperor Hong Zheng. The stories of those favorite concubines told by the military advisors before are simply desirable.
"Big brother, what about our plan?"
King Ge Dan had obviously thought about it deeply, and said softly: "As long as you can give birth to a little prince, our entire grassland will be your backing, think about Empress Dowager Zhong." ”
"So what if I don't give birth to a prince?"
Gu Nara wanted a guarantee, after all, she was worried that if King Ge Dan left, this big week would be unrelated.
King Ge Dan smiled: "Don't worry, all the people in the capital will listen to your orders." In case you don't give birth to a prince, then find a prince to take refuge, which is also a shortcut. ”
"What do you mean, big brother?"
