Chapter 293: Knocking
Emperor Dongying once taught a lesson to all his children, and he gathered everyone in front of the Empress Kunning Palace, and then called all the concubines and concubines.
At that time, everyone did not understand what His Majesty the Emperor would do next.
Everyone was panicked, and nearly 100 people gathered together, but there was no sound.
At that time, the prince was still young, and he had no idea what was about to happen in front of him, except that the concubine was holding her arm tightly, and her trembling hands were covered by the wide sleeves.
The emperor sitting in the chair may be a little far away, and the prince can't see his father's eyebrows clearly, only the chin shrouded in shadows.
"Concubine, I learned about it today, but I cried and thought about it for a long time, and I didn't find a solution after all, I don't know what you think?"
The thin lips opened slightly, and the emperor's voice came from above his head.
The prince actually wanted to say that his father had a question that he didn't know the answer to, so why didn't he go to the master in the academy? They are smart, and they will definitely be able to share their father's worries.
But judging from the five fingers clenched by the concubine, the prince felt that speaking out loud at this time would probably cause trouble to the concubine.
Under the extreme nervousness of the concubine, the prince was very well-behaved and sensible, and did not make a noise, but silently grasped his mother's hand.
At that time, the queen was only a concubine, because of her mother's family and the prince, so although the queen was usually in a high position, she was not arrogant at all.
In this palace that can swallow people, one wrong step, one wrong step, the queen does not dare to take a little favor from the emperor and gamble on the future of her son and family.
But not everyone can think as thoroughly as the empress, or rather, no one knows the emperor better than the empress.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the emperor didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.
Finally, a concubine couldn't help it, and shouted out to His Majesty, and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, I wonder why you are bothered? It's better to say it in front of all your sisters and sisters, presumably there must be a lot of power, and you will always find a way to solve the problem. ”
The prince secretly glanced up, it was Concubine Ru, the most favored woman in the harem today.
I don't know if it's an illusion, at the moment when Concubine Ru spoke, the prince vaguely heard someone next to him sneering in a low voice, and then felt that his mother's body suddenly stabilized.
The emperor did not answer Concubine Ru's words, but was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again.
"It's too cumbersome, so let's find someone who is willing to answer first."
After speaking, regardless of everyone's reactions, the emperor continued, "Could it be that there are nearly 100 concubines in the crowd, and there are not even those who are willing to share their worries for me? ”
Maybe it was because Concubine Ru came first, and the emperor didn't show anything abnormal, which was equivalent to an encouragement to others.
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the solution to all things in the world is the same, and everything will not deviate from its origin, as long as it is done according to the rules of the development of things, it will not be solved."
This person is Concubine Jin, who presides over the harem with the princess and concubine all the year round, but unlike the modesty of the princess and concubine, Concubine Jin has always had something to say, and her pungent temperament spread throughout Dongying.
Maybe it's because the family behind Concubine Jin is huge, or maybe the emperor likes such a lively and cheerful temperament, in short, Concubine Jin can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the harem.
As long as he didn't go against the dragon scales too much, the emperor would always turn a blind eye to what Concubine Jin did.
With the protection of the Son of Heaven, Concubine Jin didn't even pay attention to the princess and the concubine, and sometimes even asked the prince to go to her palace to ask for peace.
When she learned of this, the princess and concubine were silent for a moment, and did not say anything, but just told the prince to pay attention to the rules when he was in peace, so as not to be pinched by someone with a heart.
For the teachings of the concubine, the prince has always complied with it, but the favorability of Concubine Jin in his heart has fallen.
In this way, according to Concubine Jin's instructions, he asked for peace for several days, and this matter was stabbed in front of the emperor.
The emperor, who had not been smiling since he ascended the throne, actually smiled at that time.
The person who reported the news was far away, and he couldn't see the meaning of the emperor's smile, whether it was sarcasm, ridicule, or simply happy?
Without waiting for him to observe clearly, he was sent away by the emperor, and since then he has not understood a smile from His Majesty in his life.
The chamberlain was close, and he clearly saw the gloomy smile on the emperor's face.
When they were on duty in shifts that night, the attendants were so frightened by His Majesty's smile that they couldn't sleep.
Early the next morning, the emperor issued an order, the prince has completed his homework relatively simple recently, and the emperor ordered the prince to supervise the prince's study every day.
And the time of that tutoring just happened to conflict with the time when Concubine Jin arranged for the prince to ask for peace.
This is undoubtedly a manifestation that the emperor takes the prince very seriously, and it is useless for Concubine Jin to bite a mouthful of silver teeth in the palace.
The prince thinks about it now, the word Jin of Concubine Jin, maybe the father wants her to be cautious in her words and deeds, but it is not easy to point things out, so he took the word Orchid Jin.
Concubine Jin turned the big thing into a small thing, and almost didn't solve the matter completely, but her expression was extremely proud.
"Well, Concubine Ai's words are true...... Anyone else? ”
The emperor praised Concubine Jin lightly, but in the eyes of everyone, he was just taking care of the other party.
Concubine Jin spoke, so if someone came out to express their opinions, wouldn't it be like slapping her in the face in front of everyone!
No one wants to be this bird, and most people's families are not as prominent as the princess and mother or Concubine Jin, and the family sends them to the palace to serve the emperor, which is just a gesture of goodwill.
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, the emperor did not wait in silence any longer, and turned the wrench on his thumb and said.
"Yu'er, why are you so silent today?"
At the moment when the concubine was mentioned, the prince suspected that his sleeves might be torn off, and the other party's body shook violently, and he took a few deep breaths before answering.
"Your Majesty, where are these words? The concubine's mouth is not as dexterous as that of the sisters, and she is afraid that what she says will disturb His Majesty's interest, so she thinks that it is better not to say more, so she doesn't speak. ”
The mother concubine smiled reluctantly, and her face turned pale for a moment, but when she bowed her head to answer the emperor's question, there was a light in her eyes that the prince did not understand until now.
Hearing this, the emperor chuckled, and the emperor did not dwell on the matter of silence anymore, but when Concubine Jin heard the emperor's relentless "words", her eyes staring at the concubine were about to erupt into flames.
"Only by accepting good words can the problem be better solved, I wonder if there is a better way to talk about the question I just asked, because of the thin face, this is silent?"
Hearing that there was no blame in the emperor's words, the young prince breathed a sigh of relief.
The princess and concubine got up and blessed the emperor, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't torture the concubines anymore, if I don't make this matter clear, it is estimated that the big guy will definitely think that something is wrong with me in the future." ”
Halfway through speaking, the princess touched the prince's head, and then looked at the emperor and said seriously.
"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of Dongying, representing the entire country of Dongying, so Your Majesty will not allow mistakes in anything, but for the concubines, Your Majesty is only the husband of the concubines."
"People are always moral, the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the king is the wife. The concubine is naturally obedient to her husband, and in the heart of the concubine, she thinks that as the lord of a country, Your Majesty, you will not be confused. ”
As soon as the princess and concubine said this, they immediately made everyone present turn pale.
The emperor's rights cannot be coveted by others, and in the same way, his mind cannot be guessed casually, at least not in person.
Whether it is Concubine Ru or Concubine Jin, although they are favored, they have forgotten their duty.
As a concubine in the harem, you only need to take care of the emperor's daughters, but you must not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty.
Today is just a temptation for the emperor, and it is normal to encounter difficulties in handling political affairs, but the discussion of solutions should not be interfered by concubines.
Harem politics is the most taboo thing, for all the emperor's decisions, the concubines only need to follow and affirm, whether the decision is right or wrong.
Although the emperor's question today is not of great significance, it is enough to see people's character clearly.
Early the next morning, the chamberlain announced that the princess and concubine had officially become the queen, and Concubine Jin was still a concubine, but she was rewarded with a lot of jewelry, while Concubine Ru did not mention it.
This incident was widely spread by later generations, regardless of whether the Dongying Emperor's political achievements were big or small, at least he was extremely successful in pleasing the people's hearts.
Slowly coming out of the memories, the prince was still in a trance, but the moment he saw Jiang Youxi's energetic face, there was no worry in his mind.
Seeing that Jiang Youxi was studying head to head with Sister-in-law Gu on the side, the prince bent his eyebrows, and then softly ordered Father-in-law Xu.
"You asked the others to carry all the gall alum they brought to the various families they went to yesterday, I guess Youxi solved this one, and there is still the rest to be solved."
After getting the arrangement, Father-in-law Xu did not hesitate at the moment, ordered a group of people and left.
"Sister-in-law Gu, you have to see clearly, there are so many neighbors here today, if anything happens in the future, you must not rely on our royal family anymore."
Funny looking at Jiang Youxi coaxing Sister-in-law Gu into a daze, the prince didn't say much, but straightened his facial features, making his body more majestic.
looked around, and seemed to inadvertently look behind Jiang Youxi, and when he caught a glimpse of the prince's face that was not angry and mighty, he was immediately frightened.
She is just a grass person, just now she saw that Jiang Youxi is easy to speak, and because of Bao's illness, her beloved son is anxious, so she speaks a little unscrupulously.
But now that so many people are watching, Sister-in-law Gu's panicked heart before has slowly calmed down, and then she recalls the words she just said, and a wave of fear immediately rises behind her.
