Chapter Seventy-One: The Harem
"Yantian, you've practiced well! Are you tired? Yan'er, who was arguing with Leng Yun, ran over, squatted on the ground, and stretched out a hand to pinch Yantian's face.
Yan Tian didn't speak, glaring at her with disgust, but didn't dodge.
"Uh-huh! Gained some weight, not bad, not bad! Yan'er didn't care about him, and said with a smile.
Yan Tian still didn't want to pay attention to her, don't turn her face.
Seeing that Yantian was destroyed by Yan'er, he didn't care about the frost, he just smiled and drank tea.
Leng Yun also came over and patted Yantian on the shoulder: "It's not bad today, but you still need to pay attention to the strength when sending and receiving, and the movements are still a little jerky, so you have to practice diligently." Leng Yun gestured twice as he spoke: "Especially in these two places, you should pay attention to this one, you should be slow when you punch, you should be fast when you change your moves, and the elbow movements and wrist movements should be well coordinated." ”
Don't look at Leng Yun just now, it seems that he has been arguing with Yan'er, but he pays no less attention to Yantian, and although Leng Yun usually doesn't look like a master, he is not sloppy at all when he really teaches it.
Originally, Ning Shuang had asked Yan Tian what he meant, and he was going to let Yan Tian officially worship him as a teacher, but Leng Yun quickly refused when he heard it.
There are two reasons: one is that he doesn't want to hear people call him master, and he calls him old.
The second is that he is afraid that if Yan Tian really calls him master, he will not be embarrassed when he bullies his apprentice.
Frost was helpless, so he let them go.
Yan Tian's eyes were blazing and he looked at the movements of Leng Yun's hands seriously, stood up and followed the gesture, until he practiced the two movements several times, Leng Yun finally rubbed the hair on the top of his head that was already messy a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction.
After Yantian finally rested again, Yan'er remembered the homework assigned to him before going out in the morning: "Did Sister Yan'er recognize all the herbs that you recognized today?" ”
"Hmm!" This time, the flame sky is silent, but it is like gold.
......
After sitting with Yantian for a while, Ning Shuang went back to his courtyard first.
"Did you hear anything?" She rubbed her eyebrows and asked Xiaoru.
"It's Taichang Temple's Du Qiying Mansion. Mrs. Du Fu and the girl did turn back to the house a few days ago on the way to Jifuji Temple to incense. The maidservant has already arranged for someone to investigate this matter. ”
"Good! You help me grind, I write a letter to my father, and you arrange for someone to send it back as soon as possible. Frost walked over to her desk and spread out a snow-white letterhead.
Xiaoru polished the ink, she picked up the pen and pondered for a while, quickly wrote the letter, then cooled it, and after it was dry, she took the envelope and handed it to Xiaoru.
......
After Qin Moyu sent Ning Shuang to Yan Mansion, he went into the mansion to say goodbye to the elders in the mansion, and then accompanied the old man to drink tea and play chess, and after having lunch in Yan Mansion at noon, he returned to the palace.
Lu Ming was still in the house, and when he heard that he came back, he arrived in his yard as soon as he came back, and the two set up tables and chairs under the tree, and the people came up with tea.
With a green canopy on top of your head and a gentle breeze on your body, if you are not entangled in mundane things, it is a good time to be comfortable and comfortable.
However, although these two people seem to be a little unscrupulous on weekdays, they are really a rare time to spare.
No, not long after the two of them sat down, Jiang Chu came over and handed him a letter.
"Your Highness, Lord Shangshu has someone send you a letter."
Qin Moyu and Lu Ming glanced at each other, with the same expectation in their eyes, he reached out and took the letter and opened it for two looks, then threw the letter to Lu Ming, who stretched his neck.
"What do you think?" Qin Moyu threw a plum into his mouth, tilted his head and asked.
"Huh...... It seems that your brother has really put a lot of thought into it all these years! Lu Ming folded the slowly and leisurely letter back into the envelope and sneered.
If he hadn't thought too much, his father wouldn't have been so disappointed in him. It's a pity that he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, thinking that these small moves in private could really hide from his father's eyes, but he didn't want his father to see it clearly, the things that happened between Concubine Cui and Ming Weihou in the past two years, his father secretly suppressed it, and didn't move him, but he just cared about the friendship between father and son. ”
Qin Mosong stared faintly into the distance, and continued; "But if he has to die by himself, no one can stop him? I must also find out about those things back then! ”
"Reply to Lord Shangshu, let him secretly control the person first, don't startle the snake first, and the human and physical evidence must be protected!" Qin Moyu instructed Jiang Chu, who was still standing aside.
"Looks like I'm going to go to the palace first." Qin Moyu put away the envelope that Lu Ming had placed on the table beside him, got up and flicked the dust that didn't exist on his body.
......
Qin Moyu changed his clothes and rode into the palace.
The emperor was taking a walk in the imperial garden, and Tian Gonggong followed him.
Although the concubines in the harem have their own thoughts, they don't dare to go to the emperor easily, so the imperial garden is still very clean.
A few years ago, there was the queen mother's pressure, and the emperor would often go to the harem to go around, and those concubines were fighting openly and secretly, all of them tried their best to get in front of the emperor, although the emperor said that he was lukewarm to everyone, but everyone still had the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.
There are even those who are smarter, in addition to getting together in front of the emperor, they are even more likely to run to the queen mother's palace when they have nothing to do, coaxing the queen mother well, and naturally have more opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor than others, and then. Those who followed the trend and came to the Queen Mother were even more.
It's just that no one expected that those concubines who tried their best to coax the queen mother to please unknowingly dug a big hole for themselves.
Three years ago, the Queen Mother passed away, and the emperor sent all the concubines who were deeply happy with the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother's mausoleum, and the Queen Mother did not like to be lonely, since these concubines were favored by the Queen Mother, then accompany the Queen Mother in the Imperial Mausoleum for the emperor, which can be regarded as filial piety!
There are not many concubines in the emperor's harem, basically they are all selected by the queen mother under the pressure of the emperor, and five or six of them were sent to guard the mausoleum at once, and the harem is even less crowded.
However, this is not the most ruthless, there are even more ruthless.
After the funeral of the Queen Mother, the emperor suddenly issued an edict to announce to the world that in order to thank the Queen Mother for her many years of hard work, the emperor will personally keep filial piety for the Queen Mother for three years.
Of course, for the sake of the great events of the royal branch, the princes only kept filial piety for three months.
The emperor's move caused an uproar in the Manchu dynasty at that time, but although most of the ministers expressed their deep opinion of the emperor's move, there was no way, because when they knew, the emperor's edict had been sent to the whole country, and it could not be recovered at all.
But fortunately, although the emperor does not stay in the harem, he will still summon those princes from time to time to care about their homework, but that's all, and there will be no more.
