Chapter 148: Concubine
In March of the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, died of illness, and Zhu Yijun and Empress Dowager Li ordered a grand funeral, and gave the seal book and sealed the four generations.
The first assistant of the cabinet was served by Pan Sheng, who was recommended by Zhang Juzheng before his death, which also made a group of people who did not like Zhang Juzheng in the court boil.
Yu Shi Lei Shi and others took advantage of Pan Sheng's style to jointly write to Zhu Yijun, asking for a reprimand.
made Zhu Yijun, who was already in a hurry because of Zhang Juzheng's sudden death, feel more and more bored and have a headache.
After the morning court, I was supposed to go to the study, but when I thought of the stack of impeachments, I felt a pain in my head.
"Long live Lord, don't you go back to the study?"
Feng Bao looked at Zhu Yijun and asked with a smiling face.
"Don't go back, these ministers, since the teacher left, none of them have stopped, they are all staring at the position of the cabinet, like a wolf seeing meat."
Zhu Yijun said, and walked to the back garden with steps, now he doesn't want to see the queen mother, nor does he want to see the queen, but he can relax alone.
Hearing this, Feng Bao smiled, followed closely behind him, and said:
"Your Majesty, the slave knows a place, but she can scatter her mind."
"Speak up and listen."
Hearing that there was a place to relax, Zhu Yijun was interested, he used to fight crickets when he was idle, but he was taught a lesson by Empress Dowager Li and quit.
Now that I think about it, in addition to dealing with government affairs, he is studying, and he doesn't even have time to be free, and suddenly he is a little sad.
"Your Majesty, this period of time is the day when the show girl enters the palace, there are many beauties, and they all say that gentle women are interpretive flowers, and they think they can share their worries for the long live lord."
Feng Bao thought of the huge silver ticket in his arms, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
"Show girl?"
Zhu Yijun doesn't particularly care, but there is really no other scenery in this imperial garden, so it's nothing to go and see it.
"You lead the way, I go and see, what kind of interpretation flowers are there."
"Long live the Lord, this is the Chuxiu Palace of the draft, these show girls live here, beauties from all over the world."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Feng Bao took two steps forward and walked in the direction of Chuxiu Palace.
In March, although the pear blossoms and apricot blossoms have bloomed, the weather is still a little cold, and the show girls are all wearing dresses with fur collars.
It should have just ended the morning class, and most of the show girls returned to the room, and there were only three or three people standing in the courtyard.
Zhu Yijun saw a woman in a peach-colored dress from a distance, standing under the peach blossom tree with a shy face, holding a hoe, not knowing what she was doing.
A gust of wind blew, and the apricot blossoms on the trees rained lightly, falling on the woman's shoulders, and there was a graceful beauty in her hair.
As if hearing footsteps, the woman turned her head, her beautiful eyes widened, as if she was frightened, and reprimanded in a coquettish voice:
"Who? This is Chuxiu Palace, and foreign men are not allowed to enter. ”
"Bold, you show girl can see clearly, this is ......"
Hearing the woman's words, Feng Bao stretched out his hand, pointed at her, and reprimanded angrily.
However, Zhu Yijun found it interesting, stretched out his hand to block the second half of Feng Bao's words, strode towards the woman, and said with a smile:
"I... I just entered Chuxiu Palace, what can you do? ”
The woman's eyes wandered, and she looked at both sides boldly, but found that there was no one, and the show girls who were with her had already returned to the room.
Seeing Zhu Yijun staring at her loudly, he suddenly stomped his feet in some shame and said:
"You lustful embryo, I'm going to find my aunt and ask her to ask the Queen Mother to come over and cure your crimes."
Zhu Yijun looked at her crimson cheeks, and his heart moved, only to see that the woman looked charming, eccentric, and had apricot petals on the hem of her skirt.
At her feet, there was a pile of petals half-buried in the earth, and some strange point to the ground, and asked:
"Everyone else has entered the house, what are you doing standing under this almond blossom tree?"
"Funeral flowers."
The woman glanced at the petals at her feet, bit her lower lip, and spoke.
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, these words sounded fresh, and asked:
"Funeral flowers, what does this mean?"
"Flowers and flowers are flying all over the sky, who has pity for the red incense, it is already a pity that it falls on the ground, if it is trampled on, what has become of it, it is better to bury it, and turn it into nourishment in the future, and the apricot blossoms in the coming year can grow better."
As she spoke, a hint of pity flashed in the woman's eyes, and she took the flower hoe and buried the rest of the soil.
"Who has mercy on Hongxiaoxiang, you girl, you are really an idiot."
Zhu Yijun recalled what the woman said just now, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, looking at her weak willow and supporting the wind, his heart moved slightly, and he asked:
"What's your name?"
"You are a foreign man, entering this Chuxiu Palace, it is already a big disrespect, how can I tell you my name, if you ruin my reputation in the future, are you responsible?"
As she spoke, the woman's feeling of sadness and sorrow just now suddenly dissipated without a trace, and a pair of beautiful eyes glared at Zhu Yijun angrily and said.
"If you don't say it, how do you know I'm not responsible? If I marry you, will you? ”
Zhu Yijun smiled, looked at the woman, and felt more and more that she was beautiful and had a unique sense of beauty.
"I am the emperor's woman, if you marry me, maybe you will be punished, are you willing to do this? You'd better get out of here, or you'll be punished. ”
The woman looked at Zhu Yijun with some puzzlement and asked.
For the first time in his life, Zhu Yijun felt that someone cared so much about him, and while his heart was warm, he looked at the woman and said:
"If I like you, I'm not afraid of punishment, I just ask you, do you like me?"
“…… I do not know. ”
The woman didn't expect Zhu Yijun to be so straightforward, bit her lower lip, and said with a crimson cheek.
Looking at the woman's appearance, Zhu Yijun glanced at Feng Bao on the side, and then asked:
"Tell me, what's your name?"
"Zheng Pei."
As she spoke, the woman took Zhu Yijun's hand, wrote two words on his palm, then turned around and ran away with a blushing face.
"Zheng Pei... Feng Bao, passing on my will, named Zheng Pei as a concubine, and gave Guangning Palace. ”
Zhu Yijun looked at the back of Zheng Pei leaving, and a deep smile appeared on the corner of his lips, this woman made him more excited than Queen Wang.
Hearing the arrest, Feng Bao secretly said, this woman's methods are really powerful, but in such a short period of time, she was directly made a concubine.
No wonder he was given a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, as long as he brought Zhu Yijun to Chuxiu Palace, with this woman's means in the future, I am afraid that he will be able to become a concubine.
"Why are you still stunned, not going to deliver the decree? Do you want to go? ”
Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao's stunned appearance, raised his hand and patted the back of his head, and scolded with a smile.
