Chapter 129: The Great Drama on the Thousand Autumn Festival
Twenty days have passed, and the Queen Mother's birthday has arrived. This is Yan Yan's first birthday after becoming the queen mother, and Huang Furui, as a son, attaches great importance to it and tells Lan Xiaoyu to make a special event.
On this day, all the civil and military officials and foreign women entered the palace to kowtow to the queen mother to celebrate her birthday, and the whole palace was lively and lively, more festive than the New Year.
Lan Xiaoyou covered her pale face with fat powder, took the palace concubines to accompany the Queen Mother, and talked with the noble foreign women to accompany the Queen Mother to make the Queen Mother happy.
The Queen Mother let Lan Xiaoyou sit beside her, took her hand distressedly and said, "You kid have to take good care of your body, but you can't get sick again." β
Lan Xiaoyou smiled: "Thank you for your concern, don't worry, the sons are measured and won't be tired again." β
The Duchess of Chu said with a smile: "I heard that the queen was tired of rehearsing for the queen mother, but she is really filial." The queen mother is blessed to have such a dexterous and filial daughter-in-law, which makes the concubines envious. β
The Queen Mother smiled: "You have nothing to envy. Your daughter-in-law has given birth to three grandchildren for you, and others envy you if you want to be envious. β
The Duchess of Chu covered her mouth and smiled happily, she was really proud of her daughter-in-law's fertility.
The Queen Mother glanced at her enviously, and her eyes circled around the stomachs of Lan Xiaoyou and the palace concubines, thinking that her son had been married for so long, and her daughter-in-law and concubines had them, but none of them were pregnant, which made her anxious.
Lan Xiaoyou pretended not to see the Queen Mother's sight, she also wanted to have another son, but unfortunately she couldn't conceive, and she had no choice. However, there are one or two people among the palace concubines, and Lan Xiaoyou knows very well what they are doing. Lan Xiaoyou didn't think about stopping it, let them be proud now, anyway, if they can't give birth to a son, it's useless to be proud.
Other noble ladies also heard that the queen wrote a book to rehearse a play to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, and they were all curious, and said: "Today, thanks to the blessing of the queen mother, we can also see the play written by the queen mother herself, I don't know when we will be able to see it?" β
The Queen Mother smiled: "This mourner doesn't know, you have to ask the queen." β
Everyone turned their eyes to Lan Xiaoyou, and Lan Xiaoyou smiled: "Since everyone wants to see it, then please move to Changyin Pavilion." β
The queen mother drank the noble ladies and ladies and ladies all got up and moved the location, and after Huang Furui heard about it, he also rushed to Changyin Pavilion with the minister of civil and military affairs.
Changyin Pavilion is the stage built for watching the play in the palace, the pavilion is three rooms wide, three rooms deep, and the five bays in the south are connected with the theater building, and the plane is convex shaped. There are three layers of stage in the upper, middle and lower floors, the upper floor is called "Futai", the middle layer is called "Lutai", and the lower floor is called "Shoutai".
The opposite side of Changyin Pavilion is the reading is the building, divided into two floors, it is the place where the emperor and the concubine watch the play, the east, west and north sides are surrounded by two floors of circle buildings, and the ministers and foreign women watch the play in the building on both sides.
Everyone sat down, and the big drama began.
In the first scene, Nuwa Niangniang mends the sky, and Lan Xiaoyou gets Hang Weiya out. Weiya was made by Lan Xiaoqin before, and it is really rough compared to the modern Weiya, but it can be used.
Watching the play of Nuwa Niangniang "fly", everyone exclaimed. With just one hand, everyone's interest was raised. No one was distracted anymore, and everyone watched the play with relish.
The scenes of Jiafu were staged on the stage, and the attention of the palace concubines and the wives was all attracted by the love triangle between Jia Baoyu and Sister Bao, but Huang Furui and some ministers had different perspectives from them, what they saw was the control of the Lai family and the Jia family's subordinates over the Rongguo Mansion.
Huang Furui brought the Internal Affairs Office into the role of the Lai family, if the people in the Internal Affairs Office are also like these people in the Lai family, wouldn't it be that their own harem and heirs are also controlled by them? Thinking of the four servants he was fortunate to have before Lan Xiaoyou entered the palace, three of them were from the family of the Internal Affairs Mansion. So, he is Jia Baoyu, and those few waiters are Qingwen Musk Yue?
Huang Furui called Yin Qimin and whispered to him to secretly investigate the family of the Internal Affairs Office.
Yin Qimin's face changed in surprise, and he responded. No one understands Huang Furui's psychology better than him, and he mourns silently for those people in the Internal Affairs Office, but he will not remind these people, he has long been unaccustomed to these people, and even has a great deal with the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office.
Lan Xiaoyou retracted her consciousness and smiled slightly, her purpose had been achieved.
"The Story of the Stone" became popular, and everyone remembered it after watching it, and they all came to ask Lan Xiaoyou, wanting their own troupe to learn from the troupe in the palace, so that they could see it when they wanted to watch the play. It is definitely not possible for other people's troupes to enter the palace, can anyone who wants to enter the palace enter?
Lan Xiaoyou simply found a courtyard outside the palace, let the theater troupe in the palace live in the courtyard, and let them teach the actors sent by various prefectures to sing "The Story of Stones" here. In addition to these opera troupes raised by nobles, some opera troupes formed by ordinary people also wanted to learn this play, and Lan Xiaoyou naturally allowed it. The people of the civilian troupe are therefore grateful to Lan Xiaoyou, the queen, and have to say a lot of good things about Lan Xiaoyou every time before the performance. With the preaching of "The Story of Stones" from the capital to the rest of the states and counties outside the capital, the reputation of Lan Xiaoyou, a virtuous queen, also spread throughout the Daqing Dynasty. And with the spread of "The Story of Stones", it has spread all over the world, and it will be famous for centuries!
"The Story of the Stone" is on fire, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has suffered! Huang Furui has a secret guard, and Yin Qimin and the secret guard work together to investigate what the Internal Affairs Office has done.
Not to mention the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs specializes in cultivating women to be sent to the harem, Huang Furui had expected it before, and he was afraid that all the descendants of the royal family would be controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future, so Huang Furui would investigate the Internal Affairs Office. What made Huang Furui most angry was that the people in the Internal Affairs Office actually poisoned the queen, just because the palace rules and double-entry bookkeeping formulated by the queen cut off their financial routes, so they wanted to kill the queen and replace the queen with a queen who was easy to control.
Huang Furui was simply mad, he was not angry because of Lan Xiaoyu, he was angry that the means of the Internal Affairs Office had reached the sky, and the queen was not satisfied, they could poison the queen and change someone else to be the queen. If they are not satisfied with him as an emperor, will they also poison him?
His father, the first emperor, was poisoned, is there a handiwork of the Internal Affairs Office in it? Otherwise, the first queen was grounded and locked up, how could she still poison the first emperor?
Thinking of his own safety, Huang Furui did not care about the Internal Affairs Bureau, and attacked with heavy fists, dispatching troops to deal with these Internal Affairs families. One family after another of the House of Internal Affairs was raided, batch after batch of family heads and important people in the family were sent to the guillotine, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were cleaned up.
Gu Xueqian was also among the palace maids who were cleaned up, she was lucky, but she was kicked out of the palace and saved her life. She was also unlucky, she was full of ambition and entered the palace to fight for a future, but before she could make a move, the family was wiped out, and she was also kicked out of the palace. There is also her aunt, who thinks that she can make her aunt live a good life after she comes out, and presses her wife under her feet. Now, the Gu family is gone, Mrs. Gu sold her aunt to a merchant for money, and now she doesn't know where she was taken, and the two mothers and sons will never have the opportunity to meet again in this life.
The most tragic thing is that Mrs. Gu hit her head again with her idea and wanted to sell her too. She couldn't escape, and Mrs. Gu locked her up, starved her to the point that she had to give in, and eventually became an old man's concubine. Thinking back on her past ambitions, Gu Xueqian deeply regretted why she listened to the words of the head of the Gu family so much, if she had fought hard and hooked up with the emperor first, would she be able to stay in the palace like her sister-in-law? Even if you fall out of favor, life is better than it is now, right?
Huang Fu Rui pulled Lan Xiaoyou with a face full of pity: "Zitong, don't worry, Imperial Doctor Zhang said, take the antidote, your body will recover quickly." β
"Hmm." Lan Xiao replied and made a look of gratitude and worship, "This time thanks to the emperor, if it weren't for the conspiracy of the emperor's East and West Internal Affairs Office, the concubines would not have known their way and were poisoned." The concubines are not afraid of death, but the concubines are afraid that they will no longer be able to accompany the emperor. β
"Zitong......" Huang Furui was moved, "You won't, you are Chitose Chitose Chitose, you will always be with me." β
"The Emperor's ......"
The two held hands and looked at each other, with affection in their pulses, and sent dog food wildly. It's just that the quality of this dog food ...... There are fake and shoddy products mixed in!
"Your Majestyβ" An uninteresting person came in and interrupted the "affectionate" gaze between the two.
"What's the matter?" Huang Furui retracted his expression and asked lightly.
Someone reported: "Feng Cairen suddenly fainted, and invited the imperial doctor to see him, and the imperial doctor diagnosed Feng Cairen as two months pregnant." β
"What?" Huang Furui stood up happily, "Pregnant?" Quick, drive Lanlin Palace, I want to see Fengcairen. β
After taking two steps, Huang Furui reacted, turned his head, and looked at Lan Xiaoyou embarrassedly: "Zitong, that, I want to go to Lanlin Palace to see Feng Cairen, she is pregnant with my child after all." β
Lan Xiaoyou smiled and said considerately: "Your Majesty, go quickly, this is a happy event." If it weren't for the concubine's physical discomfort, the concubine would also want to go to Lanlin Palace in person to congratulate Fengcai. β
Huang Furui was happy: "Zitong is really generous. I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you later. β
Lan Xiaoyou thought in her heart, later, I was afraid that Huang Fu Rui would not have time to come to see her later. Feng Siluo has revealed that she is pregnant, will others be willing to let her be beautiful? Later, Huang Fu Rui is going to rush to the scene!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news of Yin Xiaoyi and Wen Xiaoyuan's pregnancy to spread in the palace one after another, and not long after, the news of Han Liangyuan's pregnancy also came out of Yonghe Palace.
The four palace concubines were pregnant at the same time, and the queen mother was so happy to drink Huangfu Rui, and all kinds of rewards flowed into the four palaces. It's just that it's hard to say whether these four people are as happy as they are. After all, none of them are alone.
