Chapter 149: Entering the Palace
After King Jing Liu Ji knew about this, he didn't say anything, only glanced at Mao Leyan lightly, "Good luck." "He has been worried about investigating cases recently, and he used to think that these Beijing officials had nothing to do, but now that he has sat on the post of Shuntian Mansion Yin, he knows that investigating cases is the most difficult thing in the world, and he is still good at marching and fighting. However, he also saw it as a new challenge and was not as discouraged as he was at the beginning.
The concubine easily explained the past, and now she is teasing her grandson, full of love, and she is also very open to the fact that Mao Leyan is going to enter the palace, but she thinks that Mao Leyan is a lucky star, and thinks that she may bring good news to the palace after entering the palace.
However, Aunt Yu was a little unhappy, and muttered a few words, probably saying that it would be difficult to see Mao Leyan in the future, and it was rare to have a caring girl over the years. The concubine promised to take her into the palace to see Mao Leyan when she was free in the future, but Aunt Yu kept silent.
The people who were most shocked by this matter were Princess Yan'er and Snow Goose. They have always regarded Mao Leyan as a great enemy, and they can't wait for her to die. It's good for her to go, but the two want her to die, they want her to fall, and they don't want her to fly on the branches and become a phoenix. After all, what a great honor it is for a concubine of the palace to enter the palace as a concubine, Xue Yan has always felt that she is the wife of the palace, and she has glorified her ancestors for the Mao family. It's just that although she is jealous, it is not a good thing for her to leave the palace. And Snow Goose and Princess West also fell out because of the child's matter, Princess West slapped Snow Goose hard, Snow Goose was aggrieved and cried, and made trouble in front of the concubine, and the concubine just wanted to sweep both of them out of the house, told Aunt Yu that she had a headache, and sent her away. After this incident, Xue Yan knew that she had no backer in the palace, so she went to the princess and Concubine Lin to flatter, but unfortunately Concubine Lin and the princess disdained to interact with her because of her vicious heart, so she came to ask for peace many times, and they were all closed. And she has been married for so long, King Qing has not yet had a round house with her, without the care of the concubine, without the favor of the prince, her days in the palace will be difficult, but in the end she is reluctant to take the position of the lady of the palace, she can only wait for the opportunity to seize the favor of King Qing. She felt that she was young and in good health, as long as King Qing came to her room, she would definitely have the opportunity to give birth to the little prince, so these days, she has been preparing for this. It's a pity that no matter what she does, King Qing turns a blind eye, Mo said to go to her room, and he doesn't even want to say a word to her. She took all this out of anger on Mao Leyan, she felt that Mao Leyan must have said a lot of bad things about her in front of King Qing, she always felt that she was younger than Mao Leyan beautiful, how could the prince not like her? It must be that the prince already has a bad impression of her, otherwise why did she say it many times, but the prince turned a blind eye?
Speaking of Rui'er, the child, he didn't want his biological mother Princess Xi to hug him, as long as Princess Xi approached him, he began to cry, Princess Xi was so angry that her teeth itched, and she returned to her room and scolded angrily: "You forgetful thing, who worked hard to conceive you in August?" It's so hateful that you're a thief and a mother now. ”
There is always a mother-son relationship, but because of the child's attitude towards her, she gradually doesn't like the child very much, and only thinks about how to save King Qing's heart every day. The people in the house shook their heads secretly when they saw it, and they all said that they had never seen such a mother.
The days passed day by day, and the ninth day of August was the day when Mao Leyan and several other ladies entered the palace. In the days before entering the palace, Mao Leyan had not met Liu Yan, and she was relieved to learn from King Qing that his injuries had improved, she knew that the purpose of her entry into the palace was not to be with him, maybe she would leave after helping him find out the inner ghost.
Perhaps what Mao Leyan thought at this time was too simple, the deep palace is not the same as the palace, the women in it are extremely noble, their fathers and brothers have prominent identities in the previous dynasty, and these women can be said to be unscrupulous in order to compete for favor. It's easy to get in, but I just want to get out of the way, and I'm afraid that others won't allow it.
There are a total of six women who entered the palace together, among which Liu Yiyi, the sister of the leader of the martial arts alliance, is particularly eye-catching. She is as beautiful as a peach and plum, and her martial arts are strong, which has set off a whirlwind in the harem. Chen Zilian, the daughter of the imperial history of the Zuodu Procuratorate, was named Zhuang Concubine, Lang Shaobao's daughter Lang Shaofu was named An Concubine, Liang Yunyu, the daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was named Li Concubine, and the daughter of the Soldier Lang was named De Concubine. As for Mao Leyan, he did not canonize according to the title stipulated by the concubine of this dynasty, and gave another title for Le, just like that, Concubine Le followed a group of beautiful women into the palace.
Liu gradually arranged for Mao Leyan to live in Zhaoyang Palace, the nearest emperor's Yonghui Hall in Zhaoyang Palace, it was only a ten minute walk, Mao Leyan didn't want to live too close to the emperor, the purpose of her entry into the palace was to get close to that group of women, too favored or too cold, she couldn't get close to them. So the best way is to start with the Queen Mother. The harem is respected by the Queen Mother, and as long as the Queen Mother favors her, her position in the harem will be as stable as a rock. Because the queen mother is different from the emperor after all, if the emperor favors her, he will only pull hatred for her, where can he really integrate into the harem?
Mao Leyan also knew Liu Yiyi, and before entering the palace, he heard King Jing talk about Liu Yiyi's identity, and King Jing said it in a disdainful tone at that time, "Liu gradually will be trapped by women in his life, but he can't get love in this life, and his women are used to stabilize his throne." He used to like this Liu Yiyi before, but for some reason, he didn't marry her into the palace, and he went around and around, didn't he want to borrow the power of Liu Yiyi's brother Wulin Alliance Master to deal with the rebellious party? How can such a person be worthy of your liking? Mao Leyan was noncommittal at the time, he had read a lot of history books, and knew that the women in the harem were somewhat linked to the previous dynasty, but if the imperial power was stable, the harem women did not have much influence on the previous dynasty, but now this is not the case, before the death of the emperor of the day, the country was already full of disasters, there were foreign enemies, there was internal strife, and the prince was about to rebel. At that time, Liu gradually never thought that he would be the emperor, he ascended to the throne under the psychological preparation, the brothers turned against each other, followed by famine and flood, the natural disaster ** seems to test the ability of the Son of Heaven to govern the country, and finally every difficulty was overcome by him, and the situation today is much better than when he first ascended the throne. At least the people were happy, natural disasters were few, and the economy and agriculture gradually prospered. However, the chaos and King Jing have never been resolved, for Liu Yan, chaos is the root of hurting the country, only when it is pacified, can the country truly be stable and prosperous.
She did not become hostile to Liu Yiyi because Liu gradually liked Liu Yiyi, on the contrary, after she knew her deeds, she liked her very much and befriended her.
Xiao Shu Fan and Xiao Lan also entered the palace, as for Lawei and Zhao Zhenyu, they were originally men who could not enter the palace, but because of Mao Leyan's special identity, and she asked to bring the two into the palace, the emperor considered that Zhao Zhenyu's identity really could not stay outside, and he also knew about the two of them making weapons together, since Liu Zezhong had this idea, it was necessary to put an end to this possibility. It's just that Zhao Zhenyu lives in the harem and is not at ease, so he arranged for him to go to the Tai Hospital to have a doctor. Zhao Zhenyu originally loved to learn this and that, so he naturally agreed.
The emperor came to see Mao Leyan three days later, when Mao Leyan was climbing the tall plane tree with a pair of scissors to build dense foliage. The emperor looked up at him under the tree, and Li Yuan shouted loudly: "Concubine Le, the emperor has arrived, hurry down and take over." ”
Mao Leyan looked down, and saw that the people in her palace had already knelt in the dark, she smiled, dropped a branch, and said: "Since you are here, come up and help, this tree may not have been pruned for a long time, and it obscures the sunlight in my room." ”
Liu gradually smiled, his body flew up in the air, and he sat on the branch opposite Mao Leyan for a moment, the sun shone on his handsome face, with a look of joy, he stretched out his hand and said softly: "Give me the scissors." ”
Mao Leyan handed the scissors to him, "Thank you!" ”
Liu gradually did not make a sound, looked up, pruned the branches and leaves close to the position of the corridor, a slight cool wind swept by, raised his shirt, stood on the tall plane tree, he seemed to be as indifferent as the flat ground, a few neat gestures, then cut off the protruding excess.
After cutting, he took Mao Leyan's hand and fell together, the two held hands and looked at each other and smiled, just about to speak, they saw a green figure flying over the palace wall and flew in, this person smiled cheeks, bright and bright, green clothes and the green trees in this courtyard contrasted with each other, her eyes flowed, staring at Liu Yan, "How can the emperor be so good Yaxing, actually pruning trees for Concubine Le." ”
She didn't pay homage, nor did she salute, so she stood in front of the two of them generously, Mao Leyan looked at her bright eyes, and suddenly felt sour in her heart, remembering what King Jing said about their past, she didn't feel uncomfortable when she heard it before, but now that she saw the interaction between them with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel sour after all.
"Yiyi, aren't you taking a nap?" Liu gradually smiled quietly and asked softly. He still has a former feeling for Liu Yiyi, after all, when he met her that year, she broke into his damp and dark heart like a ray of sunshine, he couldn't say that he was moved, but he felt very comfortable with her. But because this kind of comfort will make him lose his strength and courage, he doesn't dare to be too much with Liu Yiyi, and the burden on his shoulders can't accommodate his children's affection.
He knew that if he had been facing Liu Yiyi at the beginning, he would probably fall in love with her, she was a very good woman. He glanced back at Mao Leyan, and saw that her eyes flashed a little gloomy, he was slightly stunned, and a sadness rushed up, letting her enter the palace, he expected that there would be such a situation, and he would continue to hurt her after all, until there was no room for turnaround.
