Chapter 686: Request for Promotion
Nangong Yihan naturally knew Chu Lixue's personality, but Nangong Yihan still had a few ministers in the court behind him, and it was too late to discuss things in the imperial study today, thinking about leaving a few courtiers for dinner, but he didn't expect people to see this scene.
However, the most important thing is that there are two of these courtiers who are Yanguan Yushi, they don't know much about the palace siege, and when they see this scene, they will definitely think that Chu Lixue is aggressive.
"Your Majesty, and the concubine are the concubines of the first emperor, since the emperor will take the concubine and the concubine back to the palace to support, they should treat each other well, why do you want to be so humiliated and concubine?" One of the counselors who was traveling with him saluted respectfully towards Nangong Yihan.
Why this and the concubine looked like they were pleading, Nangong Yihan still didn't know, but if this matter was allowed to continue to develop, it would have a great impact on Chu Lixue's posterior.
"Lord Qi, please get up, we still need to know about this matter, according to me, the queen doesn't seem to know about this matter yet." Nangong Yihan said lightly.
"Your Majesty, the people of Beichen know that the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship, does the emperor want to openly defend the queen?" The counselor said lightly.
Lord Qi's words made Nangong Yihan not know how to take it, he knew that the purpose of returning to the palace with Concubine Qi this time was to stabilize the power of the Qiu Lin family.
It's a pity that today's Qiu family and the Lin family, the men are all mediocre people, and they are only external officials in the court, and their daughters are married to ordinary officials.
At this moment, Chu Lixue, dressed in a light golden palace dress, walked out of the room, and was very surprised when she saw Concubine He in front of the door, "Concubine He, what are you doing?" It's just that you knocked over a bowl of noodles made by the palace himself, you really can't be guilty of asking for a crime, the palace has ordered someone to prepare a birthday banquet and singing and dancing for you, as for what gift you like, let Leng Xue take you to the treasury of the palace later, you can take whatever you like. ”
Hearing Chu Lixue say this, he and the concubine were about to explode, and they really regarded her as a flower child? Take whatever you like, this queen is really a big mouthful.
When the courtiers standing outside the Fengluan Palace heard this, they all frowned slightly, it seemed that this was not good for the concubine to think that the gift given by the queen was not good, so they pretended to be wronged, the purpose was to let them speak for her.
"Queen Mother, Qiuhua has something to ask for Niangniang's permission." Lin Qiuhua knelt down and said.
Seeing this, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Miss Qiuhua has something, let's talk about it first, if it does not violate the law, does not violate human ethics, and does not damage the national body, this palace can consider agreeing to the girl's request." ”
"Rest assured, Qiuhua's invitation will not violate the law, nor will it damage the national body, but will make people feel that the emperor and the queen are filial piety." Lin Qiuhua said with a light smile.
"Oh? Then let's talk about it first, as for whether it damages the national body, it's not up to Miss Lin to count what you say. Chu Lixue said coldly.
"Please also ask the queen mother to give and the concubine to be crowned the imperial concubine." Lin Qiuhua knelt down and said.
Imperial concubine? This Lin Qiuhua is actually waiting for her here, "Miss Qiuhua said that this palace cannot be the master, and this matter has already involved the government. ”
"Niangniang can do it, Niangniang's words, the emperor will listen." Lin Qiuhua said hurriedly.
"Someone, slap twenty." Chu Lixue said sharply.
Hearing that Chu Lixue was going to slap her mouth, Lin Qiuhua was also shocked, she just mentioned that she wanted to give the concubine a promotion, so she slapped her, this queen is really too arrogant, if she wants to enter the palace, there is such a queen on her head, then there will not be a good life.
Yi'an received the order, stepped forward and rewarded Lin Qiuhua with ten slaps, Lin Qiuhua fell to his knees and cried and begged: "Niangniang, please spare the courtier, the courtier knows that she is wrong." ”
"Miss Qiuhua, are you knowingly committing a crime? These twenty slaps, there are still six strokes left, why do you have to finish these six strokes. After finishing speaking, Yi'an raised his hand and quickly slapped the remaining six slaps.
Seeing this, Nangong Yihan and several officials did not stop Yi'an's disposal of Lin Qiuhua, what the queen mother said was right, the concubines of the first emperor of Jin Feng were a matter of the imperial court, even the queen could not interfere at will.
"Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Leng Xue suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted.
When everyone heard this, they also knelt down in unison, and immediately, Nangong Yihan appeared in front of everyone in a bright yellow dragon robe, followed by several courtiers.
This courtier is generally not allowed to enter the harem without being called, and this time he followed the emperor into the palace together, which can be described as a great gift. "Let's all be flat." Nangong Yihan said lightly.
Nangong Yihan and his entourage walked into Fengluan Palace, and several courtiers saw that the layout in Fengluan Palace was very fresh and elegant, but they were very surprised, they all knew that the queen was rich and rivaled the country, but the layout of the dormitory was so elegant.
Seeing this, Lin Qiuhua felt that it was an opportunity, so he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine He is the concubine of the first emperor, and she can be taken back to the palace by the emperor to take care of her, it can be seen that the emperor is filial piety and sincerity. The courtiers also know that they love the emperor deeply, and hope that they can get closer to the emperor in the future. ”
Lin Qiuhua's words were sincere, and there was really no reason for people to refuse. The funeral regulations of the Beichen royal family have always been that the emperor and queen sleep together, and the imperial concubine and the concubine can be in the side room of the emperor's mausoleum.
The rest of the concubines are buried in a special concubine mausoleum, and the concubine mausoleum is also some distance away from the emperor's mausoleum. Therefore, without the emperor's edict, there will be no concubines who can be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"Your Majesty, Concubine He is the concubine of the first emperor, since He Concubine just wants to be close to the former emperor in the future, the emperor may wish to consider it." Lord Qi said lightly.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Qi said, the minister thinks it is inappropriate." Chu Liyu's voice sounded behind Nangong Yihan.
Several courtiers saw that it was Chu Liyu, and they naturally knew in their hearts that the uncle of this country was towards his sister, but this and the concubine were the concubines of the first emperor, and they couldn't rob the queen of anything, so why be so mean.
"Uncle Guo, how can you go in and out of this harem at will." Master Qi said coldly.
"Lord Qi, this official entered the palace on time to diagnose the queen's mother's pulse, is it possible, Lord Qi has objections to this?" Chu Liyu said with a displeased face.
"Uncle Guo, the medical skills of Xu Yuan of the Imperial Medical Department are not bad, and there is no intrigue among concubines in this harem, Uncle Guo enters the harem under such an excuse, isn't he afraid of breaking the rules of the palace?"
"Xu Yuanzheng's medical skills are not bad, but the queen's mother fell into the deep sea back then, and her body suffered a great cold, this official is the queen's own brother, so it is more suitable for acupuncture than Xu Yuanzheng, right?" Chu Liyu was so tidy.
If it is someone else's acupuncture technique, I am afraid that it can only relieve the pain, but it is not as superb as the uncle of the country, and it can remove the root of the disease.
The queen fell into the deep sea in her early years, and the cold body is also something that many people know, otherwise it would not have taken so many years to give birth to the crown prince and the eldest princess to the emperor.
"Lord Qi, the official just thinks that your invitation is a little inappropriate, and you don't have to talk about the matter of the official's treatment of the queen's mother." Chu Liyu sneered.
These civil servants, how can it be so simple to consider the problem? "Even if you want to give the title to Concubine He, then you have to consider the feelings of the emperor, right? If the emperor is not happy, he will forcibly stuff people into people's mausoleums, which is also disrespectful to the emperor. ”
Hearing Chu Liyu say this, he and the concubine gritted a mouthful of silver teeth angrily, this damn Chu Liyu, if she doesn't come sooner or later, she just comes at this time, isn't she afraid that she is the imperial concubine, and the queen will salute her in the future?
But she is the queen, so naturally she doesn't need to be given morning and dusk, but she just needs to pay a regular salute to each other when they meet. It's just that it seems that today is not a good day for her to ask for a seal.
"The queen mother, today's things are indeed the mourning family, and please don't mind the queen mother, the mourning family will go back to the palace to copy the scriptures and pray for the emperor and the queen." After finishing speaking, Concubine He pulled Lin Qiuhua and left Fengluan Palace.
Leaving with the concubine and his party, Chu Lixue ordered people to prepare wine and food to entertain several courtiers, these people are some civil servants, and they are used to doing everything according to the rules on weekdays, and they are somewhat dissatisfied with the imperial relatives like Chu Liyu.
After all, he did not participate in the imperial examination, but he had some military exploits in the battle, and because he was the brother of the queen's mother, he could be ranked as an important minister in the court.
"The queen's cook, the craftsmanship is really extraordinary, Weichen has seen these dishes in Deyue Tower, and the taste is much worse than the queen's mother's here." Master Qi said with a smile.
He also often goes to Deyue Tower to eat, and recently he has eaten in Deyue Tower for the hot pot and successive festivals, and he doesn't know what is put in the food in this Deyue Tower, which can make people think about it every day.
He had heard that there was a kind of medicinal herb that could also be put into the soup, and as long as people ate it a few times, they would become thinking about it all the time, and only when they ate the food they thought about would they not be itchy over there.
I just don't know if the queen's Deyue Building also uses such a thing? If the queen uses such a method, it will really be a loss of national integrity.
"Lord Qi doesn't know, the ingredients of these dishes are all prepared by the queen mother, if you don't have these seasonings, if you want to make delicious dishes, it is impossible." Ning Xiang smiled lightly.
As everyone knows, Ning Xiang's casual words gave Master Qi room for reverie......
