Chapter 15 Yecheng Palace (3)

In the blink of an eye, it is the day of Lari.

After He finished washing and changing, Jixiang brought the bean porridge inside, and said: "Your Majesty specially instructed the imperial kitchen to boil it for you before going to the court, saying that the northerners eat bean porridge is made of soybean flour, pepper and salt, I am afraid that you will not be used to eating." ”

He nodded and said, "The royal family arose in the northern grasslands, and there are many customs that are different from those of the Central Plains. Although Your Majesty is considerate in every way, I should also try His Majesty's preferences. ”

He Fang ate the bean porridge, and the three treasures came to ask for a meeting.

Sanbao saluted He and said, "Your Majesty asked the slave to inform you, today is the day of La, everyone in the harem will gather at the queen's place, and Your Majesty will also go over after handling political affairs." As a rule, His Majesty is to stay in the Queen's Palace tonight. ”

After listening to Sanbao's words, He said softly: "Your Majesty mentioned this matter last night, and you have already informed the concubine. At this time, I have to bother the eunuch to come again, how dare the concubine be. ”

Sanbao hurriedly bowed down and said, "What do you say, these are all things within the slave's share. You can call the Three Treasures of Nu directly, and you don't need to call the eunuch. ”

He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty was slightly obedient before, and we can get along like ordinary people." Now that he has entered the palace, he must act according to etiquette, and the name of the eunuch can only be called by His Majesty and the Queen, and the concubine must not break the rules. ”

Sanbao nodded and said, "What you said is very true, it is a slave who has not thought it through. After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty has been thinking twice, for the sake of the long term, I will not take you with me today, you must not worry too much." ”

He nodded silently, was silent for a moment, and said: "I have just entered the palace forbidden, and I still hope that the chief eunuch will mention everything in the palace." ”

The Three Treasures said respectfully: "You are the Lord, how can you be called a point." It's just that the slave has been serving His Majesty since he was a child, and he knows a little about the personnel of each palace. When you ask, the slave will talk to you casually. After thinking about it for a while, he continued: "The harem follows the Zhou ceremony, and in addition to the queen, there are two other left and right Zhaoyi, who are located according to the big Sima; In the early years, the Empress Dowager chose the three sisters of the Feng family to enter the palace for Her Majesty, and the Great Feng family made the noble lady, but in the early years, she went out of the palace to recuperate due to coughing and nagging; Second, Feng is the current queen; Xiao Feng sealed the right Zhaoyi, and he died in only a few years; Below are the three ladies, Mrs. Li is the head of the three ladies, and is the wife of the noble concubine, that is, the daughter of the prince and the young master of Longxi, Lord Li Chong; Mrs. Luo, the daughter of the general of Zhendong and Lord Luo Yun of Qingzhou Thorn History, gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor; Mrs. Yuan is the last nobleman among the three ladies and gave birth to the emperor's third son, Yu. These three ladies are all regarded as the third duke. Under the three ladies, there are nine concubines, Gao, the second son of the emperor, the fifth prince Huai, the Zhao family, the Lu family, the two Zheng families, the two Cui families, the Wang family and the Wei family, which are regarded as Jiuqing. ”

He listened to the words of the Three Treasures and wrote them down one by one in his heart. After the three treasures finished speaking, He smiled slightly bitterly: "The emperor's family is also based on the birth of the family. ”

Sanbao was shocked in his heart, and immediately said: "On weekdays, Your Majesty has a heavy schedule of state affairs, and rarely takes care of the harem, but since you came, Your Majesty will treat you with all your heart." Seeing that He was silent, Sanbao continued: "Your Majesty has another word for the slave to bring to you, Your Majesty said, let you not be afraid, everything is your own Your Majesty is your own decision." ”

He looked at Sanbao, knowing that his words were also Hong's promise to himself, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

The Queen's Palace is lit up with lights, a festive and peaceful scene. Empress Feng was dressed in a navy blue robe embroidered with gold, red, yellow, blue and white silk threads, and sat on the main seat in the hall. On the left and right sides sat Mrs. Li and Mrs. Luo, respectively, and the rest sat in the position of the two of them in turn. Everyone is dressed in brocade clothes, surrounded by beads.

When the waiter came, everyone left their seats and got up to greet them. Seeing Tuoba Hong step inside, everyone hurriedly knelt down, and Tuoba Hong approached to pick up Feng with both hands, and walked with her to the main seat.

Everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, they all knew that there was a beauty living in the emperor's palace, and they thought that they could get a glimpse of what kind of person they could get by the reunion of the day, and they could let the emperor stay by their side every day, but they never thought that the emperor would come alone.

Tuoba Hong waited to sit down, picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "I have been out on patrol for more than four months, ignoring the harem, today I am reunited on the day of La, I respect you and so on!" Everyone raised their glasses and said: "Your Majesty has worked hard for the affairs of the state, so that I have the supreme glory of the Great Wei Kingdom and the people, and the concubines." "After that, they all drank it all.

The drums are played in unison, and it is very lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Feng pretended not to care and asked Tuoba Hong: "Your Majesty, where is that beauty unwell, why didn't you come with us today?" ”

Tuoba Hong was about to drink, and when he heard her ask, he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "There are so many people in the harem, why does the queen care about her alone?" ”

After a pause with a flick of his fingers, Feng said: "Since the concubine has become Your Majesty's queen, she should take care of everything in the harem so that Your Majesty can rest assured about the affairs of the previous dynasty." ”

Tuoba Hong had already seen through Feng's thoughts, but he said quietly: "The queen's virtue is the example of the harem. Now that Mrs. Luo is about to give birth, Concubine Zheng is also pregnant, and the queen should be more attentive. In this way, Feng Shi is not good to ask again.

Tuoba Hong waved his hand to signal the song and dance to retreat, looked at Luo and Zheng, and said with a smile: "How are you two recently?" ”

Luo wanted to get up, but was motioned by Tuoba Hong to sit down, so he knelt down and replied: "Concubine thank Your Majesty for your concern, concubine and children are safe." The imperial doctor originally said that it would give birth in March, but a few days ago, the doctor said to the concubine, and the day may be advanced. ”

Tuoba Hong nodded and said, "Then the medical department will prepare it as soon as possible." ”

Without waiting for Luo to speak, Feng Shi continued: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already prepared everything for her sister, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled and nodded to the Empress.

When Zheng heard that Mrs. Luo had finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and said to Tuoba Hong: "With Your Majesty's thoughts, everything is fine with the concubine." It's just that the child in the womb has been making a lot of trouble in the past few days, and I am looking forward to seeing him. ”

Tuoba Hong laughed and said: "When the ministers are dismissed at the banquet on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, I will go to see you more." ”

When Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Jun En. Feng Shi looked at her coldly, and then smiled again.

During the banquet, Mrs. Li, the noble concubine, always smiled brightly and behaved cordially with everyone. At this moment, the Li family raised his glass and left the table, slowly came to the emperor, and said with a smile: "The New Year begins today, and the concubine wishes Your Majesty and the Empress a smooth and safe life." While raising his glass, he continued: "Your Majesty, the queen, the concubine still has a happy event to announce. Glancing at Feng's family, he said: "Concubine Gao is also pregnant with the dragon descendant for more than five months, this is the beginning of spring, and there are three good things in the palace." ”

Feng Shi looked at Gao Shi with wide eyes, and sneered: "How can I know that my sister is pregnant, but I don't know?" ”

Gao was timid and was about to speak out, when Li took over and said: "Concubine Gao was sick before, go and ask the queen to show me, maybe you are busy, and you have not been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, the concubine will take care of her for you, don't blame the queen." ”

Feng Shi forcibly suppressed his anger and choked whitely: "That's really Sister Lao." The people who know understand that my sister is helping me, and those who don't know think that my sister is acting on my behalf. ”

Tuoba Hong knew that the two of them were playing with this, but they did nothing and didn't wait for the Li family to speak, Tuoba Hong said: "There are many things in the harem, and the queen works day and night, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. Now with the help of Concubine Li, the two of you can work together, and I can rest assured in the previous dynasty. ”

Without waiting for Feng's reaction, Li hurriedly said: "The concubine will live up to His Majesty's trust, and she should do her best to assist the queen." ”

Feng was resentful in his heart, but the saint was in front of him, and it was inconvenient to attack, so he had to reluctantly say: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubines and others should take care of the harem properly." ”

When the feast was over, the crowd dispersed.
