The envoys of the Northern Zhao signed a peace agreement with Dayong, and the Northern Zhao bowed to Dayong, and the Shunde Emperor named the leader of the Northern Zhao as the king of the Northern Zhao.

The beauties sent by Beizhao took one last glance at the bustling capital and got into the carriage back to Beizhao sadly.

Before Emperor Shunde had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng persuaded Emperor Shunde to take a concubine after being established in the court.

"Six years ‖of turmoil and turmoil, the royal family is thin, Your Majesty has reached the age of marriage, it's time to set up a concubine, enrich the harem, and spread the branches and leaves."

Emperor Shunde finally solved Dayong's internal and external troubles, and now the biggest headache is urging marriage.

She doesn't necessarily really take the marriageable nobles of Chang'an into the palace, so that this group of good women can meet her virtual phoenix in the best years and waste their youth in vain, right?

"This matter ......," Emperor Shunde said humbly, "Let's discuss it later......"

"Your Majesty! It can't be delayed any longer, Your Majesty! The eldest princess is about to get married, as a royal brother, how can you not have a family affair yet. ”

In order to persuade the emperor to marry a wife, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng did not choose to speak.

They are afraid that the rumors are true, His Majesty really has the good of Longyang, and has an unspeakable relationship with Chen Yuma.

Then after a hundred years, what kind of face does he have to meet the first emperor!

Emperor Shunde seized the loophole at once, "The Dayong woman married earlier than the man, the imperial sister is the same age as me, the imperial sister has not yet married, and my marriage is naturally not in a hurry." ”

After speaking, Emperor Shunde winked at Xie Xiaobai, who was standing aside, and sent a distress signal.

Xie Xiaobai just wanted to divert the topic, but Prime Minister Zhang suddenly looked at Xie Xiaobai, his eyes burst out with hope, and he hurriedly said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and every servant in the palace is a member of His Majesty, if His Majesty wants to make a female official a concubine......"

He glanced at the unmoved Emperor Shunde, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Even if it is the last, it is okay!" The example of Empress Dowager Yuan's Ji Sichen is still vivid, and it is also a good thing that the future queen does not have a strong mother's family. ”

Zhang Shangshu also said: "The minister thinks that the female official Xie has both ability and political integrity, and will be able to take care of all the affairs of the harem, so that Your Majesty has no worries." ”

Xie Xiaobai: How could she be shot while lying down???

Prime Minister Zhang stared at the throne with burning eyes, waiting for Emperor Shunde to give him an answer.

His Majesty has carried female officials Xie all the way over the years, and even allowed female officials Xie to enter and leave the court, saying that there is nothing between them, and he does not believe it.

If there is no love between a man and a woman......

Prime Minister Zhang thought of the scandal between Emperor Shunde and Chen Juma again, and his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could kill flies.

It doesn't have to be a close friend, right?

He prayed silently in his heart: God bless, Your Majesty must not be as good as Longyang, and there must be a relationship between Your Majesty and the female official Xie that surpasses that of the monarch and the servant. His Majesty is unwilling to draft a concubine, and he has nothing to do with Chen Juma, otherwise why would he still keep his marriage contract with the eldest princess? His Majesty must be waiting for the opportunity to justifiably give Lady Xie a name.

Now, the minister has handed the opportunity to you. Your Majesty, take it quickly!

Emperor Shunde did not take this opportunity, and threw a bombshell at Prime Minister Zhang: "It is impossible to establish a posterity, and it is impossible for me to establish a posterior in my life." Retreat !! ”

"Your Majesty-" Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's call, as soon as he heard it, he had been practicing for a long time, and it was called a long-term mourning and tear-jerking.

Emperor Shunde strode out of the main hall.

What kind of queen did she make? She obviously wants to marry the royal husband.

Xie Xiaobai hurriedly walked quickly to keep up, and when he stepped out of the main hall, he stood still and glanced back at Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and sighed: "Alas, don't persuade you, persuasion means that Your Majesty will not accept a concubine after not standing up." ”

"Lady Xie, wait a minute." Zhang Chengxiang was a lot older, trotted to Xie Xiaobai's side, panting heavily.

When he was panting, the old face turned red, and his eyes were erratic, "Lady Xie, you have served Your Majesty in front of the palace, and you tell the truth to the old minister, is Your Majesty really ......?"

He said something indistinctly, but Xie Xiaobai didn't hear it clearly.

"What?"

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng only said it once with an old face, how could he have the motivation to say it a second time, he even felt that Xie Xiaobai didn't hear such an embarrassing topic.

Xie Xiaobai patted Prime Minister Zhang on the shoulder, "Prime Minister, I probably know what you want to ask, don't worry, you may be able to know the answer after a while." ”

"When the time comes, I just hope that the prime minister can stabilize and don't jump like thunder." She glanced at Prime Minister Zhang faintly, gave Prime Minister a high-energy warning, and lifted her skirt to chase Emperor Shunde, who had already gone away.

Prime Minister Zhang raised Er Kang's hand: "You make it clear!" ”

Ancestors bless, Your Majesty must not have the goodness of Longyang!

……

The courtiers led by Prime Minister Zhang naturally did not give up, and they contacted several concubines who were eating fasting and chanting Buddha in the Taimiao.

As soon as the concubines returned to the palace to understand the situation, their majesty was so old, and they had no personnel, so they immediately organized a group to start looking for enlightenment palace maids for Emperor Shunde.

They also summoned Xie Xiaobai to drink tea again and again, feeling that she was old enough to take care of people, and she had a relationship foundation with His Majesty, so she was the best candidate.

Emperor Shunde and Xie Xiaobai were so annoyed that they were so annoyed that they simply fled to the palace on the grounds of summer vacation.

The weather was sunny and cloudless.

The palace is built by the mountains and rivers, the red lotus in the lake is scorching, and the bamboo shadow on the shore is swaying.

From the palace room, you can see a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the lake, and the tail feathers of the mandarin ducks gently scratch across the water, causing ripples.

Emperor Shunde shook the fan in one hand, twisted a plum in the other, stuffed it into his mouth, and wailed: "Ah Yan, Xiaobai, you save me quickly!" Zhang Cheng forced Zhang Cheng to force Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng forced the concubine, I was about to be driven crazy by them! ”

The sweet and sour juice dyed Emperor Shunde's lips and teeth purple-red, and when she spoke, her mouth opened and closed, as if she had just eaten a child.

"In case I can't resist their magic sound one day, my brain will be pumped, and a woman from a good family will be accepted into the palace, won't this be a scourge?" Emperor Shunde felt that the plum tasted good, so he picked one up and handed it to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan turned his face away, and the plum fell from Emperor Shunde's hand to the ground, rolled pitifully on the ground twice, and rolled to Xie Xiaobai's hand.

Xie Xiaobai picked it up and washed it in ice water.

"It's not a way for us to drag it out like this, Your Majesty will have to stand up sooner or later, why don't you stand now, so as not to listen to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng chattering in the court."

She took a bite of a chilled plum and ate it with great pleasure.

"If Your Majesty can't bear to harm other women from good families, it is better to pick one who has no intention of marrying and knows each other well, and forget it after you set up."

Emperor Shunde: "How do I know such a girl." ”

"Of course Your Majesty knows! This man is far away in the sky, and he is close at hand. Xie Xiaobai stood up and pointed at himself.

Chen Yan accidentally choked on plum juice.

"Marry you? This can't be done! Emperor Shunde's head and hands shook like rattles.

She let Xiaobai enter the court, which is to let Xiaobai be an example for women in the world, and let the people of the world know that women can also read and write, enter the court as officials, make meritorious contributions, and make a difference.

If Xiaobai becomes her "queen", it is equivalent to telling women all over the world that reading and reading is just a layer of gold plating for herself, so that she can find a better in-law, and the woman will eventually marry and have children trapped in the back house for a lifetime.

Xie Xiaobai stroked his hair, "The minister has been by His Majesty's side over the years, and he has also made a lot of contributions, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and the concubines are very fond of the minister!" ”

Chen Yanzheng thought about the feasibility of the plan, "Female Officer Xie's method is a good idea. His Majesty needs a queen to preside over the affairs of the harem, and Lady Xie has been in the harem for many years, and she has her own set of means for dealing with these things, and she will definitely be able to keep the harem in order. ”

Xie Xiaobai nodded in agreement: A queen's offer was placed in front of her, and she didn't accept it.

This is to let her be directly promoted from the little palace maid to a salary increase, and climb to the peak of the harem career!

Xie Xiaobai smiled and sketched the future for the two, "When you have a child in the future, you can also let the child choose his own identity." Whether he wants to be a prince and daughter in the palace, or he wants to live an idle life away from the palace, you parents can provide an environment to realize the good wishes of their children, so that they can win directly at the starting line, how good. ”

At that time, Xie Xiaobai will be able to ask the children born with a golden spoon in his mouth: Your Royal Highness, do you want this golden spoon of the palace, or do you want this silver spoon of the princess's mansion?

"In the future, I and Ah Yan faced their own children, and they couldn't recognize each other?" Emperor Shunde didn't eat plums anymore, and shouted with his face in his hands.

No, she said that she couldn't make Xie Xiaobai the queen!

It was not easy for her to slightly reverse the world's inherent view of women, and Xie Xiaobai must continue to shine in the court.

Every child she has in the future will be able to raise her head and proudly say her father's and mother's name in front of the world, without the children being brothers and sisters, but suffering from the differential treatment of others.

Now, there's only one way left!

……

On this day, Emperor Shunde discussed important matters with the courtiers in the summer palace and left them to drink tea.

Emperor Shunde strangely said that he wanted to go behind the screen to change his clothes, and the courtiers waited outside.

waited left and right, but saw the black shadow on the screen, still dressed.

I don't know what clothes to change, but it takes so long.

Zhang Chengxiang secretly had a fibula.

"Lady Xie, why haven't you seen the palace people come to serve tea?"

He can't urge His Majesty, but it doesn't prevent him from urging tea.

They had just had a heated discussion with His Majesty, and now their mouths were dry, and they needed some tea to moisten their throats.

Xie Xiaobai said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered that you don't have tea first, lest you adults see Your Majesty for a while and squirt out the tea." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace people removed the screen.

A girl wearing a honey-colored gold silk soft smoke skirt slowly turned around, and the red coral hanging phoenix hairpin on her head trembled with her movements.

The girl's lips are as red as the plum blossoms in the center of her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips are tight, not angry and arrogant.

Several ministers were stunned and turned into a stop-motion animation.

Someone shouted, "Eldest princess...... How did you get here? His Majesty...... What about Your Majesty? ”

I saw that the girl smiled, and her dark eyes seemed to have a glass of wine in her eyes, and her eyes were sultry and intoxicating.

The smile on her masculine face gradually expanded, revealing neat teeth, "You know clearly, who I really am?" ”

"Your Majesty!?" Prime Minister Zhang's eyelids jumped, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, "The old ministers are old, you put on women's clothes, pretend to be the eldest princess and tease the ministers, etc., it's not interesting......"

Emperor Shunde straightened up the moon and turned around in front of the courtiers, "Take a good look, I am a woman, why can't I wear women's clothes?" ”

"I don't have any sisters, my sisters are myself."

Emperor Shunde said this in the voice of the sixteenth princess on weekdays.

Over the years, when she pretended to be a man, she would speak in a low voice, and when she changed back to women's clothes, she would deliberately pinch her voice and speak softly and weakly, so that outsiders could clearly distinguish between the two voices.

Zhang Chengxiang sat down in a chair.

This news is even more terrifying than Your Majesty's Longyang!

Your Majesty is a girl!

No wonder Your Majesty doesn't have a male duck voice, no wonder Your Majesty looks feminine, no wonder Your Majesty has an inexplicable ambiguity with Chen Yan, and no wonder Your Majesty wants to improve the status of women.

No wonder......

No wonder......

All kinds of things that he couldn't understand before, Zhang Chengxiang figured it out at once.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty told your ministers of such earth-shattering secrets, but in order not to marry a wife?" ”

"You keep saying that I will continue to have children, if I really marry a queen, I will not be able to raise children!" Emperor Shunde gave Xie Xiaobai a look.

Xie Xiaobai served fragrant tea to the old ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister is unwell, so he will retire first." Prime Minister Zhang didn't take the tea, and walked out with his head down.

As he crossed the threshold, he stumbled, and if it had not been for the help of the chamberlain standing by the door, he would have fallen firmly.

Prime Minister Zhang's mood is extremely complicated.

How can a girl be an emperor?

For thousands of years, it was unheard of.

Can...... During the reign of His Majesty, he quelled civil strife and eliminated disasters, and made remarkable achievements. Now the Dayong Dynasty is thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Your Majesty is a good emperor.

The most important thing is that the first emperor only has this lone seedling left.

What should he do?

……

The news that Emperor Shunde is the daughter of the emperor spread all over the government and the opposition, and the reactions of the courtiers were mixed, and the thoughts of the good deeds floated.

Many children of the clan took the lead in opposing Emperor Shunde to continue to be the emperor, and after the mansion was surrounded by the Praetorian Guard, they were honest.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng wrote to Emperor Shunde to beg for bones, and a group of clear streams, including Zhang Chengxiang's son Zhang Shangshu, asked for release.

Of course, there is also a group of courtiers in the court who support Emperor Shunde, unswervingly standing on the side of Emperor Shunde, fighting Confucianism in the court every day, and scolding the sky and the air.

No matter how fierce the quarrel in the court was, it did not stop the Zhang family from leaving the capital.

In the morning light, the Zhang family's carriage slowly drove out of the city gate.

It was still too early, and only one noodle shop was still open at the city gate.

The Zhang family smelled the fragrance and touched their hungry stomachs.

Zhang Shangshu got out of the carriage, "The boss has five bowls of noodle soup." ”

"It's too hot, don't make noodle soup, there are cold noodles with acacia flowers, do you want to eat them?"

Zhang Shangshu heard a familiar voice and suddenly raised his head.
