Chapter 277: Taking Power
(Cat flutter Chinese ) The empress was not in the palace, and the empress dowager only had to go up the mountain and take charge of the harem, and some people saw an opportunity. (Fengwu Literature Network)
Wei Changyan came to the outside of Ningshou Palace, bribed Yikang and asked to meet the Queen Mother, and finally got his wish.
"Weichen knocked on the Queen Mother." Wei Changyan knelt down respectfully to salute.
"Flat." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Wei Changshi, you are the person next to the emperor, especially you old ministers, you must assist the emperor with your heart." ”
"Wechen obeys orders, Wechen is willing to do his best for the emperor, the queen mother is now worried about the royal heirs, and wechen often can't sleep at night, today we meet the queen mother, is to share the worries for the queen mother, and offer advice to the queen mother."
"Do you have any plans to make the emperor give birth to an heir?" The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and looked at him, very interested in what plan he could come up with.
Wei Changyan said: "The emperor has no heirs so far, because there are few concubines in the palace. The queen mother, if you want to fill the emperor's heirs, the top priority is to choose a concubine for the emperor, which is related to the prosperity of the royal heirs, and the emperor can no longer be emotional. ”
"Well, it's time to choose a few favorite concubines for the emperor, Zheng Jieyu has been sleeping for two months, and there has been no movement, the emperor is not in a hurry, the mourning family is in a hurry."
"Queen Mother, Weichen has the courage to speak, the emperor still has the queen in his heart, you might as well give up the emperor's thoughts."
"No, if the queen is abolished, it will be equivalent to sucking out the emperor's soul, once something happens, it will be a major event that will shake the country."
"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true."
"The matter of choosing a concubine can be carried out, Wei Changshi."
"Wechen is here."
"The mourning family will give you a decree, select among the families of ministers above the sixth grade, select 300 women for the emperor within a month, and those who are not selected will be included in the palace as palace maids."
"We're in command." Wei Changyan was delighted, if this selection of concubines was successful, not only would he be able to rely on the Empress Dowager, win over a few more cronies, and rely on himself to strengthen his gang, but he would also be able to get close to the water and get the moon first, and make a few deals with the favored concubines, so that the concubines could speak for themselves in front of the emperor and invite a favor, although they could not replace Xiao Yi, they would also gain the emperor's trust somewhat.
The Queen Mother attaches great importance to the matter of choosing a concubine, and the chief manager An Zhaoyong is the emperor's person, the Queen Mother can't believe it, she is afraid that Yang Fengyin will go against her heart to the emperor, and she can trust the head of her palace, "Yikang, you assist Wei Changzhi to run the draft." ”
"The minions obey." Yi Kang served the Queen Mother for decades, and when the Queen Mother was the queen, he was the eunuch in charge of the Fengyuan Palace, loyal to the Queen Mother, and obeyed her orders.
Wei Chang Yanxing selected 200 talented women, and An Yikang was ordered by the Queen Mother to train talented women every day to practice palace rules and etiquette to prepare for the emperor's arrival.
With the entry of 200 talented women and 300 palace maids, the palace was bustling.
"Queen Mother, this is the roster of newly selected talented women, please take a look at the Queen Mother." Wei Changyan handed over a roster.
"Well, Wei Changshou bothered."
"Relieving the worries of the Queen Mother is within the responsibility of the ministers."
Two hundred imperial concubines are enough to make the Queen Mother happy. The Queen Mother opened the roster and read out the name of the first talented woman, "Li Jinzhi." ”
"The daughter of Lord Li, the servant of the ministry, this woman is as beautiful as a flower, talented, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Wei Changyan introduced the identity of the talented woman on the side.
"Yi Kang, send Li Jinzhi to the emperor's bedroom tonight."
"Yes."
The queen mother gave her a will, and the palace maids and grandmothers were busy for a day, and finally packed up Li Jinzhi and sent it to the bed of the emperor in Qixia Palace.
Li Jinzhi was nervously lying on the dragon bed, dressed in a silk clothes, against the backdrop of the red bed tent, his beautiful appearance was delicate and bright, and his graceful body was exquisite, which could be called a stunner in the world.
At this moment, she had a confident and beautiful expression on her face, quietly waiting for the emperor's arrival. Lord Wei said in public that all masters should do their best to win the emperor's favor and extend the heirs for the emperor. If anyone gets the emperor's favor, she may be made the queen, so she secretly cheers for herself, and tonight she wants to win the emperor's favor, step by step to the throne, and glorify the ancestors for the Li family.
At night, Xuanyuan Rui still went to sleep in Qixia Palace, which had Qiuyue as a cover, which became a source of out-of-the-world escape for him to escape from his mother. In order to prevent the queen mother from sending women to Fengyuan Palace to sleep, he has been living in Qixia Palace these days, and the queen's Fengyuan Palace does not allow concubines to step in.
Xuanyuan Rui stepped into the gate of Qixia Palace with heavy steps, and the retreat palace people walked into the dormitory.
Li Jinzhi got off the bed and knelt down generously and decently to greet him, the moist girl's skin faintly appeared in the tightly wrapped obscene clothes, and his voice was soft, neither humble nor arrogant, "The concubine welcomes the emperor." ”
Xuanyuan Rui didn't let her flatten, paced to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, smiled bitterly and whispered, "If you want to live, obediently obey my arrangement, your father's life and honor are all in your hands." ”
Xuanyuan Rui pulled out a cold sentence, which made the kneeling girl dazed and frightened, and the prepared words were useless, "The concubine is unknown, please make it clear to the emperor." ”
"I don't want to be fortunate to you, but you can't tell anyone about it, and if you do, you will die, and your father will be dismissed by me, do you understand?"
Li Jinzhi trembled involuntarily, and the confident expression just now was swept away, "Concubine...... Understand, please don't treat your father's sins, please ask the emperor to protect the Li family. ”
"As long as you follow my will and cooperate with me to deceive the Queen Mother, I will ensure that your family is safe and sound."
"The concubine obeys."
"An Zhaoyong, send her down."
"Yes, Li Jinzhi, please come with us."
An Zhaoyong took Li Jinzhi to a dark room set up in the backyard of the palace, Li Jinzhi slept all night without mentioning it, and the next morning, the emperor's decree was transmitted to the queen mother's palace early, and Li Jinzhi was given the palace for contouring.
In order to no longer have concubines to send, Xuanyuan Rui frequently sent Li Jieyu to Qixia Palace to sleep, Li Jieyu had nightmares that were difficult to speak, and she wanted to tell the truth but was ashamed to say it, but she was also afraid that she would be punished by the emperor for disobeying the emperor's will.
Half a month later, the Queen Mother selected a water spirit Wang Chunni to send to Qixia Palace, the next morning, the emperor named Wang Chunni as a talent, the Queen Mother sent a girl, the emperor gave a talent.
The Queen Mother didn't know what was going on, but the emperor favored the concubines at night, and she was lucky enough to have six or seven talented people, and the Queen Mother looked overjoyed, and her anxious mood was finally implemented, so she waited for the concubines' stomachs to bulge.
However, three months have passed, and none of the people's stomachs have moved.
All the talented people also carried a stomach unspeakable, panicked, on this day, Li Cairen and Wang Cairen and other concubines enjoyed the flowers in the imperial garden.
Li Jieyu saw Wang Cairen's charming smile and joyful face, and secretly suppressed her jealousy, and kept staring at Wang Chunni, as if she wanted to find something from Wang Cairen's face.
"Wang Cairen was rained by the emperor last night, and today is full of spring breeze."
"Hasn't Li Jieyu ever felt the emperor's deep affection?" Wang Cairen went back to the past in a word, taking offense as defense.
"This palace is favored by the emperor, and the emperor is always passionate." Of course, Li Jieyu will not let people see a trace of flaws.
The queen mother was anxious again, when the emperor favored the queen, the queen was also pregnant with a child, why didn't any of these concubines get pregnant? I'm afraid that the emperor was poisoned because of the poison in his body last time?
"Yikang, pass Li Jieyu over."
"Yes."
Yi Kang passed Li Jinzhi to Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother asked about the bed, "Li Jieyu, you have slept the most times in the past two months, why haven't you been pregnant yet?" ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubines are incompetent, please forgive the Queen Mother." Li Jinzhi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother, for fear that his eyes would show a flaw, and the emperor let her go ruthlessly, if the Queen Mother knew that she was still a virgin, not only would her life be lost, but her father would also lose his life, so she didn't dare to let the Queen Mother know the truth.
"How did you serve the Emperor? What are the emperor's body bones? "The Queen Mother means to ask, can the emperor be personnel?
"Your Majesty...... Very good. ”
"Good? So why aren't you pregnant? The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "They are all from the past, there is nothing to be embarrassed to answer, the mourning family will answer you truthfully, don't hide it." ”
Li Jinzhi's face was crimson, and he bowed his head and said nothing.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and looked at Li Jinzhi, "It's not easy to conceive if the posture is not right, what posture do you do every night?" Upper or lower? ”
"Queen, Queen Mother......" Li Jinzhi went into the oil pan to cook, standing in front of the Queen Mother, her body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
The queen mother asked, but the emperor is on top? The next position, but the emperor is below? How can the emperor be down there? She pondered and wanted to tell the Queen Mother that she was superior, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing. The emperor didn't touch her at all, how could an unemployed woman know what posture would be in the bed?
"What are you trembling about, you are like this, the emperor is fortunate that you will still have passion? It's good not to be disgusted. Hurry up and talk about it, the mourning family is not gossiping with you in private, the mourning family is asking questions for the prosperity of the children and grandchildren of the royal family. ”
The queen mother hates iron and steel, the emperor has an elegant heart, and does not like cheesy women, but the outfits of these women are either too glamorous, or obscene and cowardly, and none of them have the queen's arrogant and unearthly temperament, and one can not confuse the emperor's heart, and one can not replace the queen.
This Li Jinzhi is in very good condition, not only her appearance is stunning, but her family background is also reasonable, when she first saw her, she was generous and decent, shining and shining, which made people's eyes shine, but now this Li Jinzhi is like an angry concubine, looking cowardly and unshocked.
"Queen Mother, the concubine is stupid, no, she can't speak." Li Jinzhi's head was sweating, and he couldn't speak smoothly in fear.
"Can't say? Didn't the emperor visit you? I don't understand whether I am superior or inferior? ”
"The Queen Mother spares her life." Li Jinzhi's face was full of shame, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Did I say I was going to kill you? What are you afraid of? Don't hurry up and talk back. ”
Li Jinzhi lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up, the Queen Mother looked at Li Jinzhi's unusual behavior on the ground, and was full of suspicions, could it be that she was really not fortunate by the emperor? Cat flutter Chinese
