Volume 1: Wise Men Chapter 20 (20)
Nagaki Purple Palace.
Empress Lieshan and the 18th Emperor of the Great Hui Dynasty, Tai Haoxiu, sat opposite each other, and the father-in-law was guarding the side.
"It's autumn again, can Your Majesty ask your concubines to choose some more women from the family to enter the palace? It's really deserted in this palace. The Empress of the Lieshan clan smiled like a flower.
Hao Xiu's lilac eyes seemed indifferent: "How many concubines does I have in this Purple Palace?" ”
The father-in-law's silver-white hair flowed elegantly, and he leaned forward and bowed back:
"Below the queen, there are two princesses of the Kalandan clan, two princesses of the Nanshu Malan clan, one princess of the Xiaochu Niande clan, and one princess of the Jingnan Yejiu clan. There are five second concubines of the Tantai clan, four second concubines of the Lieshan clan, two second concubines of the Hede clan, one noble of the Qinghe clan, and a total of nineteen registered concubines in the harem. ”
Yutai Haoxiu frowned: "Do I have so many concubines?" Why do I only have three princes so far? And you only have one prince? ”
In the past five years, there have been new concubines every year, and all countries except for Jingnan Yejiu have dedicated noble girls, so that the children of the Great Hui Dynasty are frequent, and the descendants are prospering.
Among the princes, the prince Ruide bred by the Kalandan clan is the eldest, the prince bred by the princess of the Niande clan is the second, the name Ruiwen, and the prince bred by the Lieshan clan is the third prince Ruizhi. Because Lieshan Clan's Errong is the concubine of Tai Hao, according to the ancestral system, Wisdom should be the most orthodox heir to the throne.
In addition, there are five princesses in Haoxiu, in addition to the eldest princess Yuan Die born in the Lieshan clan, the second concubine of the Tangtai clan has a princess wind butterfly and a colorful butterfly, the second concubine of the Hede clan of the Xiaochu Fangguo has a princess Ning Die, and the Qinghe family has a princess Chen Butterfly and Lan Butterfly.
When the Lieshan clan heard that Tantai was unhappy, he was startled, and hurriedly bowed down to ask for the guilt: "It was the concubines who were derelict in their responsibilities and did not pay close attention to the harem concubines, so that His Majesty's imperial heir was not born this year!" It's just that this Yejiu princess has been blessed with holy grace for a long time, and it is strange that there is no man and half woman! ”
Ye Jiu Huanshan, the imperial concubine of the Ye Jiu clan, has been in the palace for five years, and no imperial heir has been born so far, which gives the Lieshan clan a reason to criticize her, but it also makes Hao Xiu depressed.
Yutai Haoxiu waved his hand, motioned for the Lieshan clan to get up, and then stood up: "In the past few days, Na Na Honey said that the southern general star is restless, and I still have something to take care of. ”
The Lieshan clan said disappointedly: "Your Majesty is so late that you can't sleep? ”
Hao Xiu looked back sternly: "You stupid woman, what did I say? You only gave birth to a prince and extended the heir, and you don't understand my work for state affairs, I really don't know how your Lieshan clan cultivated you? ”
The Lieshan clan knelt down: "The concubine lost her words." Please punish Your Majesty. The concubine Lieshan clan has been cultivated with imperial virtue since the birth of the concubine, which is the fault of the concubine, and has nothing to do with others! ”
Yutai Haoxiu threw his sleeves and left.
The huge imperial honor guard slowly left Hanyuan Palace.
"Confused father-in-law, where did I say I was going? I've always had a headache these days, and I forget what I was thinking about. "Yutai Haoxiu sat on the shoulders of the eight golden gun guards and carried the emperor's coffin, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The emperor slowly advanced on the golden and glorious gallop of the purple palace, the stars in the sky were brilliant, and the emperor was shining with jade, and the light was brilliant.
The father-in-law pretended to ponder: "The slave remembers that His Majesty said that he went to Shouyuan Palace, but the slave doesn't know if His Majesty has changed his mind?" ”
Hao Xiu sighed, "Alas, even if I said it, let's go, you don't know the temperament of this Yejiu Imperial Princess, I am like a gaffe, I am afraid that she will not be able to sleep at night again." ”
The father-in-law smiled flatteringly: "That is, the singers of the Great Hui Dynasty are all reciting the love between His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine Yejiu, saying yes-"
My father-in-law looked up at the starry sky and seemed to have forgotten for a while.
Hao Xiu still closed his eyes and said impatiently: "You old slave, if you don't say anything, I will punish you with a month's salary." ”
The father-in-law had a bitter face: "But Your Majesty, you have already punished the old slave's salary until December, and the punishment will be next year." ”
Hao Xiu smiled silently.
The father-in-law raised the feather whisk in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Drive Shouyuan Palace!" ”
Outside the gate of Shouyuan Palace, the dressed Yejiu princess Huan Shan was full of tenderness, followed by her three wedding maids: Dai He, Dai Yao, and Dai Qin.
Several spineless people walked around inside and outside the palace gate.
Seeing the arrival of Emperor Haoxiu from afar, Phantom Shan was as brilliant as a flower, and he knelt down with affection: "The concubine welcomes Your Majesty!" ”
The father-in-law opened the purple jade bead curtain and helped out the Tai Haoxiu.
Yutai Haoxiu walked through the gate of Shouyuan Palace, and when he turned around, he saw that Huanshan and the others were still kneeling there, and asked strangely: "This I am about to enter the palace gate, why are you still kneeling?" ”
Huan Shan wanted to cry: "The concubine has done something wrong, and she is afraid that His Majesty will punish her." ”
Hao Xiu sighed and asked casually, "What did you do wrong?" ”
Na Huanshan seemed to be full of remorse: "The concubine and the boneless man were playing, they climbed fast in the competition, or the concubine walked fast, and they were a thousand steps away from the palace, making a big mistake." ”
Hao Xiu laughed: "In the future, I will allow you to enter and leave the Purple Palace casually." Hurry up! ”
Huan Shan was overjoyed, jumped up, stuck to Hao Xiu's body, hugged Hao Xiu's neck, and a warm girlish breath came to his nose, which made Hao Xiu very useful.
Phantom Shan shouted: "Your Majesty loves Phantom Shan the most, Phantom Shan loves Majesty the most!" ”
"It would be nice if you added another prince to me!" Hao Xiu's body was suspended by Phantom Shan, but he didn't think it was wrong.
"The concubine's moon is approaching, and tomorrow I will go to Xingbi City to ask the great witch to calculate the time." Phantom Shan sweetly attached to Hao Xiu's ears and neck, and was as angry as a lan, "The concubine promises to give birth to a big fat prince for Your Majesty, as powerful as Your Majesty!" ”
