Extra: Imperial Etiquette 8
He could see it all...... Because I saw it, so, the big picture is in hand, and everything can not be cared about??
Feng Miaolian felt tired, it was the kind of fatigue that a weak person had no power to resist in the face of a strong man - the strong man was always strong, he was too powerful, he was standing at the top, he was broad-minded, he didn't care at all, such a terrible thing, he understated it, and solved it in one sentence.
But who knew she was almost paralyzed?
Before he came back, she even wore fine clothes and food, hugged the last supper, quietly, just waiting for death-the east window incident was covered up, and she did not feel happy at all, but was cold all over.
People look at your heart and help you misinterpret it!
How can it be embarrassing?
"Queen's ......"
She heard him call her, and his voice flickered. She responded, the smile on her face pulled out, and respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty......"
This smile, in the eyes of others, is not a big victory? The most powerful is still Queen Feng, no matter what rumors people have about her, someone will cover up the past for her. His Majesty thought everything to her clearly. Yes, she doesn't have to worry about anything, as a woman, that's the most gratifying and proud thing, right?
After that, Miao Lian's mind was always dizzy, with that "arrogant" smile on her face all the time, and she didn't know what His Majesty was talking about. And the concubines, she saw that they all had strange looks on their faces, but there were many disappointed and few happy...... One by one, they took turns to receive the gifts, thanked them, knelt down, and then said something very strange......
Feng Miaolian was dizzy and couldn't hear a word clearly. But I feel that my consciousness has been detached from this world, and the fugue is too empty, but the people in the room, one by one, look like ghosts, I don't know what they are floating and coming for......
Then, she saw Concubine Li kneeling.
Then, then came the oldest princess in the deep palace. The princess comes from the largest family, the royal family, with a prominent status and noble status, but she has a big flaw: she has many freckles on her face, so she looks premature, and it is said that she was like this when she first married into the palace. There are too many freckles, and her face can't be seen clearly, of course, His Majesty has always been polite to her, and he stayed away. Over time, this person was almost forgotten in the deep palace.
At today's banquet, all the concubines were allowed to attend, so she appeared.
She knelt on the ground with Concubine Li, and she opened her mouth in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty's golden mouth, it stands to reason that the concubines will not dare to disobey." However, throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for explicitly disbanding the harem......"
When Feng Miaolian heard this, her wandering mind suddenly turned back.
She opened her mouth wide in horror as she looked at the two women kneeling in the audience.
"The harem was disbanded by express order"??? Could it be that this is what His Majesty just said??
Their shocked expressions just now were because of this incident?
Why did he dissolve the harem?
She opened her mouth and closed her mouth, unable to speak, and only looked at Concubine Li blankly and took the words: "...... The concubines also thought it was very wrong. Even if the three emperors and five emperors are up, the Son of Heaven is also 72 concubines, and several of the sisters here have raised the royal blood, they have no credit and hard work, and the child is still young, how can they be sent out of the palace like this? ”
The princess was obviously pulled up by Concubine Li and attacked together.
As soon as she said this, she immediately won the unanimous approval of all the concubines present. Everyone knelt down, and one by one the pear blossoms brought rain: "Please think twice, Your Majesty...... Please think twice...... Your Majesty"
The Emperor sat on the top seat and did not answer, his eyes looked a little inscrutable.
Concubine Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was not afraid, and continued in a loud voice: "Last year, Your Majesty dismissed the young and unfavored palace maids and low-ranking concubines in the court. At that time, His Majesty took pity on them when they were young, and couldn't bear to let them live lonely in the deep palace and grow old, which was appreciated by the world...... His Majesty also announced that in order not to waste money and money, from now on, there will be no more activities to select show girls...... These are the embodiment of His Majesty's benevolence...... However, after all, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the king of a country. And the harem is the world, half of the country, this is not only His Majesty's family affairs, but also the entire northern country......"
The concubines here changed color.
Even Feng Miaolian was in a nervous mood, she stared at Concubine Li with a dry mouth, thinking to herself that she had not been wrong before, this woman who seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but there was a hot flame surging in her heart.
Even she, Feng Miaolian, in her heyday, didn't dare to speak like this. However, she was not a favored concubine, but she was open-minded, bold and calm, and every word was reasonable.
She quietly peeked at His Majesty's face, but seeing that he was not angry or angry, his face was still as calm as ever, and she just looked at Concubine Li quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Maybe he was too calm, Concubine Li felt a little uncomfortable, but she still mustered up the courage and continued: "The harem is not just a personal affair between children and daughters. Since the concubines entered the palace, they have enjoyed the brocade clothes and jade food rewarded by His Majesty, lived in the beautiful palace, and enjoyed these many years, but they have never had the opportunity to share the worries of the king...... As the saying goes, the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, the concubines have lived for so long like rice worms, suffering from no chance. Fortunately, she was appreciated by the queen and endowed with trust and power, and these days, there have been no major mistakes in dealing with the trivial matters of the six palaces......"
She looked at Feng Miaolian and kowtowed to her.
His Majesty followed her gaze and also glanced at Feng Miaolian. However, Empress Feng always maintained that faint smile, and she couldn't see any joy, anger or sorrow, and she couldn't judge what kind of attitude she had towards Concubine Li's words.
"Concubine Li, you did a good job. In the days when Hongu was away, thanks to you being in charge of the harem, you did much better than Hongu. ”
"The queen's mother has a good reputation, and the concubines dare not be ashamed."
For a while, it was a little quiet.
The two women looked at each other, and Feng Miaolian finally looked at this woman fixedly—seeing the flame of justice in her eyes, the anger of integrity, and the truth of uprightness.
She is Li Chong's daughter.
Therefore, Feng Miaolian couldn't connect her with Princess Pengcheng, King Xianyang and others at all. Even if she said something today, Feng Miaolian would rather think that she was really out of direct advice.
"The queen is virtuous and generous, generous and benevolent, recently, the six palaces are harmonious, and the whole is united, especially on the day when His Majesty goes to the royal conquest, the queen is even more **** to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and ask the ancestors and ancestors to bless Your Majesty with triumph. The queen mother is generous and magnanimous, but as soon as Her Majesty returns, she announced the dissolution of the harem, what do the sisters think??? Will you misunderstand the queen's painstaking efforts??? ”
