Chapter 57

Zhu Yijun unfolded the portrait, "How many palace maids did the Shang Palace Bureau go to serve the queen?" ”

"A total of four palace maids, two eunuchs, and one aunt in charge went to serve the mother. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Zhang Cheng replied, "The rest of the people are still training in the palace, and they will wait until the mother returns to the palace and then go to Kunning Palace to serve." ”

"Four palace maids are too few." Zhu Yijun frowned and said, he took a rough look at the portrait, and there was nothing unusual, so he asked people to roll it up, "Go a few more, lest the two little girls who are not in the flow also come to show off to me." ”

"Xi Tao followed Niangniang in Chuxiu Palace, and this time she also went out of the palace together, Shang Gong originally thought that maybe Niangniang would want to bring a few girls who had been used to it since childhood into the palace, and my aunt also had eight people to serve, so she was negligent. The little one immediately went to tell Cui Shanggong and asked Shanggong to pick two more palace maids to send them over. Zhang Cheng said.

"The portraits of these two should not be to show off to Your Majesty, as far as I know, these two were given to Niangniang by Mrs. Wuqinghou." Zhang Cheng said.

"Mrs. Wu Qinghou?" Zhu Yijun was puzzled, and then shook his head suddenly, "This queen mother won't agree." ”

"I don't know about this, anyway, Mrs. Wuqinghou sent it over, and the mother accepted it, and now she is learning the rules of the palace with her aunt in charge." Zhang Cheng said.

"What do I mean by asking her?" Zhu Yijun wrote. "You still let the Shang Palace Bureau pick two palace maids over, and you send them over together."

Zhang Cheng brought His Majesty's questions, and also brought two palace maids, Wang Ronghe put his letter aside, "Send someone here, I can't live in this small courtyard." In this way, Aunt Mei, you can choose two of our current palace maids to follow Zhang Nei back to the palace. I don't need so many people to serve me now. ”

Mei Dong was in trouble when she heard this, and she couldn't tell whether Niangniang was embarrassing her or testing her, she calmed down, and after thinking for a while, "Then let Xing'er and Huilan go back to the palace." ”

"Just do what Aunt Mei says." Wang Ronghe said, "Let the two of them go and pack up their things, and Zhang Neishou will wait for a while." Only then did he open His Majesty's letter, and brought her a pen and paper without illness, and Wang Ronghe wrote a reply after reading it, and brought the box without worry, put the letter in the box, and sent the box back to its original place.

Xi Tao is not as familiar with Wang Ronghe as Carefree and Carefree, and when she came to serve without Worry, she took a step back, and Dong Solstice said to her, "Forget about our later ones, Niangniang will not trust us from the beginning, you are serving Niangniang in Chuxiu Palace, how can you still avoid the two girls at this time, where is the face of our palace maids." ”

"Everything is for the comfort that the mother can use, and our face counts a few meanings." Xi Tao doesn't care about this, she is stupid, if she doesn't meet Niangniang, she would never dream that she will serve Niangniang one day. She still has a lot to learn, if someone can serve her mother comfortably, it is also her skills are not as good as others, do you have to be jealous of others.

Wang Ronghe wrote a few lines, but then crumpled the paper and threw it away, always writing letters back and forth in such detail, a little boring, and some things can only be understood, can not be passed on, if she wrote that the meaning of sending a portrait to His Majesty is 'Look, this is the concubine that your grandmother prepared for you, are you satisfied?' I don't know what Your Majesty will do, if she sends the girl back, it will be embarrassing for both times, and she will be the most embarrassed.

So he thought for a moment and said, "I have a Lu Bo here, a new work, and Zhang Neishou will bring it back to the palace for His Majesty to play." ”

"Your Majesty is past the age of playing Lu Boqi, and it is quite a gift to His Royal Highness King Lu." Zhang Neishou said with a smile.

"Then let Your Majesty call His Royal Highness King Lu to play together, my Lu Bo is different from the ones on the market, it's fun." Wang Ronghe said, "I'll write down the rules of play first." ”

Zhang Cheng went to the queen's house, sent two palace maids and picked up two palace maids, and a set of ivory chess and jade to make a plate of Lu Bo, a farmer, a businessman, a scholar, three characters, rolling the dice and walking, every pit is meaningful, it is possible to be promoted to make a fortune or to break the fortune, and on the way to the prison, you have to stop playing for a lap. There were quite a lot of prisons, peasants did not pay taxes or neighborhood disputes, businessmen bullied the market and grabbed prices, and scholars became officials to take bribes. At the end of the game, naturally, whoever reaches the end first becomes a first-class master wins.

Zhu Yijun called King Lu, Princess Ruian, King Lu was detained by the Queen Mother to read a book, it was the heart of a young man, I heard that the imperial brother was looking for it, and he came over, and after inviting An, he heard the imperial brother say that he would have to wait for Ruian to come, and couldn't help pouting, "Ruian is the age of unreasonableness, what did the imperial brother call her to do?" ”

"When you were unreasonable, the imperial brother didn't leave you behind." Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "The queen sent me a gadget for entertainment, saying that you should play with me, but this one requires three people to play, so I called Ryan over." ”

Ruian as the youngest surviving daughter of the Empress Dowager Li, now her mother is the queen mother, her brother is the emperor, and she is a princess of Jingui who can walk sideways in the palace.

"Brother Emperor." Ryan pounced on Zhu Yijun after coming in to salute, Ryan was nine years old, still the size of a little girl, with a golden silk pearl holding a bag and a bun, a big red jacket skirt, a long-life lock on his chest, and a puffy little face, he has been very sticky to Zhu Yijun since he was a child.

Zhu Yijun weighed her, "Ryan has been heavy again?" ”

"Brother Emperor, the nurse said that I am growing up, not fat." Ryan pouted.

Zhu Yijun thought that Wang Ronghe had also said such a thing, and couldn't help but smile softly, "Yes, someone is still growing at the age of fourteen or fifteen, isn't our Ryan going to grow up." ”

The three brothers and sisters of the Tianjia family got together to share family affection, and they usually dispersed without asking a few words, but now because of a plate of Lu Bo, they sit around and play with relish.

Ryan held the merchant's chess piece, but he was unlucky, and he finally threw a sieve and was about to fall into a deep trap, stop playing for a circle, and so on, and the pouting mouth could be hung with an oil bottle. "It's too difficult for this businessman."

"It's hard to be a businessman, that's right." Zhu Yijun said, "Businessmen are opportunistic, money comes easily, people have money, and extravagance will bring about a bad social atmosphere, and if the country wants long-term peace and stability, it must emphasize agriculture over business." ”

"But businessmen are also people of the Celestial Empire, they work diligently every day, and they also pay taxes to contribute to the country, so why should they be treated differently." Ryan was not convinced.

Zhu Yijun was a little asked, he has a belly of strategy that can be said to be important for valuing agriculture over business, but does he want to say this to himself, and how much does she understand?

"Hey, you just have bad luck, don't believe it, I'll exchange it with you, you take peasant chess, the country is based on agriculture, and you will go to prison in three steps and two steps, this is not a human problem, it is your problem." King Lu said idly.

Ryan didn't believe it, so he changed chess with King Lu, King Lu finally walked from the peasant to the landlord's place, Ryan only played three rounds, the landlord went bankrupt, the farmer couldn't stand the gap every day to drink to kill his sorrows and reminisce about the past, and then drunk and fought with people, and went to prison.

"I'm not playing anymore." Ryan reported, "I'm a princess, how can I be so unlucky?" ”

"You're a princess, how can you be unlucky?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "It's just bad, there is a royal brother here, let's not rely on luck to eat." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Juzheng wants to report to Your Majesty on the progress of a whip." Feng Bao came in and asked for instructions.

"Please Zhang Shoufu go to the study and wait for me, and I will pass." Zhu Yijun said.

Zhu Yijun has political affairs, King Lu and Princess Ruian are about to retreat, King Lu said before saluting, "Brother Huang, the handwriting of this Lu Bo chess manual is smooth and beautiful, the brother has been practicing calligraphy recently, can the brother of the emperor lend this manual to the brother of the courtiers to copy?" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded at him with a smile, "Obviously I am reluctant to Lu Bo, and I also said that I want to borrow Lu Bo's manual to read, and I play a good trick." ”

"The thoughts of the younger brother naturally can't be hidden from the imperial brother." King Lu said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll borrow you to play for two days, and by the way, let the internal bureau make one for you according to the way, and you will have to return the original version to me when the time comes." Zhu Yijun said.

"Brother Xie Huang." King Lu is overjoyed.

While speaking, Zhang Chengcheng put away the chess pieces and chessboard, and there was a special xiāng zǐ, King Lu wanted to come and hold it directly in his arms, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but instruct, "Take good care of it." ”

"The courtiers will." King Lu said.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, Ryan followed King Lu closely, "Lend me a day to play." ”

"Don't you play?" King Lu said.

"I thought about it, I'm a princess, how can my luck be so bad? The princess's luck is naturally not bad, but if the one who plays with the princess is His Majesty and the other is the prince, then it will definitely be the princess's worst luck. Ryan said, "You go back to play with the guards and eunuchs, and I also take it back to play with the palace maids, I don't believe that my luck is really so bad?" ”

"Wait, wait for the internal bureau to do the same, I'll play with you, this is the queen mother's mother to your majesty, I borrowed it, if you borrow it again, you use it again, then how to explain it." When mine comes, you can play with my brother's stuff however you want. After King Lu finished speaking, he walked away with a cigarette in his arms.

"The Queen?" Ryan thought, "Then I'll ask the queen mother to send me one." ”

"I'm His Majesty's pro-mèi mèi, and the people's sister-in-law also wants to please the sister-in-law."

Time has passed, and the show girl has initially adapted to the change from the show girl to the concubine, and the palace is divided into three groups of people, one group is attached to Concubine Guo, one group is attached to Concubine Yang and Concubine Liu, and the other group is no desire, no desire and no thoughts. The people who are attached to Yang Concubine and Concubine Liu are not trying to sell well to Wang Ronghe, who has not yet entered the palace, so even if Concubine Yang is low-key and Liu Concubine is hearty but not favored, they still gather around them. And Concubine Guo is much more arrogant, she has a position and a favor, and the time before the queen enters the palace is her opportunity, on the one hand, she wants to be favored, and on the other hand, she wants to win over the concubines. The harem has never been a place to fight alone.

is that there are a few waiters who have been favored by her through her arrangement, and those who are attached to Yang Concubine Liu are still Luo Meiren, and Yin Meiren has never been favored. Concubine Liu, Your Majesty has been to her palace but has not stayed overnight, and it is still two things to say about her favor.

Concubine Liu is outgoing and hearty, so she is still the leader in this small group, but she and Concubine Yang discuss everything separately. "Your Majesty has come to me a lot of times, but not much, why don't you recommend other sisters quietly, I haven't gotten the essentials so far, my sister sent me a message, saying that if I don't have the certainty of hitting with one blow, don't do such a thing."

"Cui Meiren said that I don't care about my sisters, I can't even recommend you to be favored, let alone Luo Meiren and Yin Meiren." Yang Jingru said quite depressedly.

"I have said to Luo Meiren and Yin Meiren that everyone is not in a hurry to accept favor at this time, so you don't put pressure on yourself, just fix your own favor." Liu Jing said, "Your Majesty is afraid that my majesty has no opinion on me, and my opinion has not disappeared, so what if I am favored?" Now I can only wait for my sister to enter the palace and then find a way to solve it. ”

"If it is not beneficial to be attached to you and me, I am afraid that they will still switch to Concubine Guo." Yang Jingru said worriedly, "I'm afraid that when my sister enters the palace, we are too thin." ”

"Concubine Guo shouldn't attack us right now, right?" Liu Jing said uncertainly.

"Mother, it's not good." Yang Jingru's palace maid Izumo hurriedly walked in, "Today, Your Majesty turned over Yin Meiren's brand, and after dinner, Yin Meiren bathed and changed her clothes and sent it to Qianqing Palace, but it was sent out in a quarter of an hour, and when Yin Meiren was waiting for Your Majesty, she was incontinent." ”

"How so?" Yang Jingru stood up and said.

"It's still incontinence." Izumo was also very embarrassed, "Your Majesty has never met, but I just heard that the beauty is not worthy of favor, and she was demoted to the selection of the waiter, and she was sent to the Chuxiu Palace." ”

"How so?" Liu Jing muttered, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can say it, it's a big taboo to sleep while sick." ”

"That's not right." Yang Jingru shook her head, "We have also used silver in the past, but Your Majesty has never turned over Yin Meiren's brand, in fact, Your Majesty has not turned over a new brand in the past few days, and today Yin Meiren is someone asking her to turn over the brand, I'm afraid this incontinence is not simple." ”

"Concubine Guo." Liu Jing said.
