Extra: On the expansion of the harem (1)
It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it's been a year since the last palace horror night.
Lin Yan was dressed in a queen's coat and a double phoenix dragon crown on her head, sitting on the main hall of Yongle Palace, listening to the words of several foreign women who were given seats below.
This year, there has been heavy snowfall, and it has been drifting for more than half a month, cutting off the official road, resulting in many officials in other places being unable to return to their hometowns.
Lin Yan was already happy, knowing that these ladies had nowhere to go on the first day of the Lunar New Year, since there was not much population in the palace, she specially gave a banquet and invited a few foreign women to celebrate the New Year in the palace.
Being able to accompany the queen for the New Year is a supreme honor for these foreign women who have weak roots.
After Mo Ning ascended the throne, she made a major transfer of officials, because her husband was upright and strict, and he was promoted two levels in a row to become a probationary envoy.
According to the wife of the inspector, she was born in the family of the Wupin magistrate, and admired the prosperity of Beijing.
When Lin Yan asked about anything new in the capital recently, she was the first to speak: "Recently, everyone is discussing whether women should have children at home, or show up to protect their families and defend the country!" ”
This matter has to start after Lin Yan was canonized as the queen in May.
She entered the palace and stayed away from the gossip center of Shangjing, not to mention that Lin Yan, as a legend, was already the queen.
Take a queen to make an after-dinner conversation...... Mo Ning is not like Emperor Jianyuan, who allows everyone to see his queen clearly.
He has said many times on different occasions that offending Lin Yan is contempt for imperial power.
Well, if you want to spoil your wife, you can spoil it, anyway, there is no shortage of new things in the capital, and no one has a topic.
For example, Tang Tingting, a girl who has recently swept the capital...... Oh, no, it's the second grandmother of the Lu'an Hou Mansion, she was made a women's general by the queen, and it wasn't long before she was instructed to set up a women's escort team.
Not long ago, she was revealed to be pregnant, and because of an argument with someone, she had a fetal gas and went home to recuperate.
Today, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Chu family and Mrs. Changping Hou hurriedly went home to take care of Tang Tingting after a hurried pilgrimage.
Lin Yan heard the words of the envoy's wife and thought of Tang Tingting.
When she thought of Tang Tingting, she felt that she was no longer a treasure in the palm of her uncle and aunt, so she felt boundless sour.
She drooped her eyelids, rubbed her gold-embroidered dragon cloud sleeves, and continued to listen to the envoy's wife.
According to the fact that Mrs. Cha was far away from her seat, she couldn't see Lin Yan's lonely expression clearly, and she was still chattering, and even mixed her own private goods between her words.
"Let the concubine say that men are fighting for their future outside, and women should take care of the family at home." According to the envoy's wife, "General Zong's wife is not the same as going home to raise children. ”
Mrs. Zuo Shilang next to her subconsciously sat out, trying to stay away from Mrs. Inspector.
It's a mallet!
Lin Yan didn't raise her eyelids, and when she heard Mrs. Inspector slamming her guard, she asked softly: "Then according to Mrs. Inspectorate, what about those girls who want to join the escort team to keep fit?" ”
According to the envoy's wife, she didn't realize anything: "Naturally, it's all going home!" There is no appearance at all, the court is too conniving with these girls! ”
If Tang Tingting didn't train the escort team, how could she move the tire gas?
It's also thanks to her mother-in-law Chu's good temper, if she is replaced, she has to be locked in the yard!
Lin Yan didn't speak, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
Mrs. Inspector finally realized that something was wrong, and looked at Mrs. Zuo Lang next to her in a little panic.
Mrs. Zuo Shilang tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she really didn't want to get involved.
But think about it, when I first entered the capital, I also made a similar mistake, not to mention that it is good to make a person according to the inspection.
She hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Mrs. Inspector is in a hurry when she sees Mrs. Tang having a fetal gas, right?"
Mrs. Tang's birth, but she has the favor of Lu'an Hou Mansion and Changping Hou Mansion, and it is said that if it is a son, it is likely to be the future heir. ”
According to the envoy's wife's eyes, "No, everyone sees which family's heir is a woman, so it is a man's business to say that making meritorious contributions is a man's business." ”
, can't talk!
A cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Zuo's head, she originally wanted to turn the topic to the Lu'anhou Mansion, and talk about the recent proudness of the Lu'anhou Mansion to make Lin Yan happy.
How do you know that Mrs. Inspector is an awesome mallet, and she is not in the same brain circuit at all.
Lin Yan smiled, and finally raised her head to look at the envoy's wife: "Madam is right, girls will eventually get married, and those who will inherit the family business in the future are boys." ”
According to the envoy's wife, she got Lin Yan's affirmation, and before she could laugh out loud, she heard Lin Yan say:
"Because of this, Hongu has mercy on the girls who are going to marry. If the marriage is good, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the in-laws are kind;
I'm afraid that after getting married, the treasure in the palm of my parents has become the dregs in the eyes of others. ”
The corners of the envoy's mouth twitched: "The queen mother is used to laughing, how can there be such an evil mother-in-law?" ”
Lin Yan turned her gaze to the heavy snow outside the hall: "Yes, when the palace was just canonized as the queen, didn't she receive a case of entering Beijing to sue the emperor." It is a matter of the local county, and the envoy also listened to the case, has the lady forgotten? ”
There is such a case.
Just because the daughter-in-law gave birth to two girls in a row, the mother-in-law either beat or scolded, and the mules and horses in the family stopped, so she let the daughter-in-law work alone in the mill.
Later, the daughter-in-law became pregnant and gave birth to a son in the mill, and the mother-in-law was happy, took the grandson and put the daughter-in-law in the mill.
On a hot day, the daughter-in-law was tortured to death by a body of pain.
The daughter-in-law has a younger sister at home, and despite the opposition of the family, she sued the capital from the state and county.
Just because "it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs", and there is no clear punishment in the code for the mother-in-law who tortures her daughter-in-law to death, the little girl who was the victim knelt outside the palace gate and received enough whips for a hundred lashes before calling the lawsuit to Lin Yan.
Seeing that the wife of the inspector did not speak, Lin Yan said: "The palace deliberately handed over this case to Dali Temple for trial, because it involved the inaction of the state and county magistrates, and the envoy also sat in the auditor's seat.
If I remember correctly, that mother-in-law could be sentenced to a thousand miles in prison, right? When people are dead, even if they fight for their lives, what can they do, but they can only relieve the evil spirit of the living.
This palace also knows that the four books of the former dynasty are very poisonous, and there are still some women who embarrass women with some dross.
The palace doesn't have much to do, just thinking about building a so-called escort team in the capital, so that those girls who don't want to be trapped in the boudoir come out to practice their skills, if they really meet an unreasonable in-law, their fists can also talk. ”
After a long time, the women slowly changed their humble thoughts.
She looked at the envoy's wife: "Madame must have had a smooth life, she has never encountered anything about the girl in the case, right?" ”
According to the envoy's wife's lips trembled a few times, she actually forgot that the escort team was set up by Lin Yan's order.
But the more he said it, the more wrong he became, and the more wrong he became, the more he said it, and the more he opened her mouth, she said, "That...... Don't you like men to take concubines? ”
Lin Yan's eyes were cold, and she didn't want people to have a good New Year, right?
