Volume 2: Omnipotence Chapter 19: Is This a Year and a Half?
After sending Yu Qian away, night had quietly fallen, and before the two of them knew it, they talked for two hours, Zhu Qizhen got up and moved his somewhat stiff body, and made the ninth set of radio gymnastics superb.
"Your Majesty! What are you doing? It's nice to look at! The action is smooth and beautiful! Jin Ying waited on the side with a pot of tea, and from time to time she made a few words of flattery.
Zhu Qizhen listened to it with black lines, when will this radio gymnastics, which has been complained about by countless people, become a good-looking action in other people's mouths?
I was so funny, I didn't answer, and silently finished a set of aerobics. Turning around, the washbasin in the hand of the little eunuch washed his face well. Then take the hot towel and apply it to your face for a few seconds.
After the pores on his face were opened, he took off the towel, took the cup of tea instead, rinsed his mouth first, and drank the next cup in one go.
Zhu Qizhen has done these processes very skillfully, and now not only is there someone to serve him, but also the privilege of great material abundance, which also makes him sigh almost at any time after returning to the capital, the extravagance of privilege.
"Jin Ying, how many times do you have to wash the towels every day? I've been using it for a long time, so why don't I see a little bit of it? Zhu Qizhen asked knowingly.
Jin Ying replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, your daily necessities, except for dresses, are basically changed every day, so naturally they will not look old." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen pretended to be surprised.
"Wouldn't that be a waste?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, naturally you can't save on these things, compared to national events, these are just a drop in the ocean, and it's really not worth your trouble."
Zhu Qizhen sighed softly, is it necessary?
"You tell me to go down, and in the future, I can make three sets of clothes in one season, and breakfast, lunch and dinner will be one meat and one vegetable." He wants to set an example for civil and military officials.
"This ......," Jin Ying paused.
"And this dinner today?"
"Eat it when it's done, and you can't waste it, right? In the future, you can do as I say. Zhu Qizhen said freely.
"Yes! The emperor is so diligent and thrifty, he has far surpassed the Qin Emperor and Han Wu! Jin Ying touted again.
"Okay, okay, what nonsense, I still have this bit of self-knowledge, why do you have more and more such words?"
Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting at the dining table, could only look at Jin Ying and smile helplessly.
"This is also the heartfelt words of the slave maid, don't say it ...... the emperor"
"The Queen Mother Arrives ......"
Just as Jin Ying and Zhu Qizhen were teasing their children, a report suddenly came from outside the door.
Zhu Qizhen's face froze, he had subconsciously avoided the queen for half a month, just after the war a few days ago, his Qianqing palace was always overcrowded, and it was easy to be no one today, and the queen came......
"Your Majesty, do you want to be a slave?" Jin Ying asked cautiously.
"Please dine with the queen, I haven't seen her for a long time." Zhu Qizhen did not avoid it.
As soon as the words fell, Qian Jinluan's figure appeared at the door, and Queen Qian couldn't help but show a happy look when she saw Zhu Qizhen.
"The concubine greets the emperor!" Queen Qian walked quickly to meet her.
Zhu Qizhen also showed a smile and said, "The queen hasn't eaten yet, right?" Sit down and eat with me! ”
Qian Jinluan naturally had no opinion, and happily sat in the position last time, still staring at Zhu Qizhen with affection.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Qian Jinluan with a stiff expression: "Empress, is there something on my face?" ”
Qian Jinluan had no intention of dodging at all, and his face was still full of tenderness and sweetness.
"Your Majesty, the concubines think you've been getting more and more attractive lately."
……
"Okay, okay, let's eat first! I've been busy these days, and I haven't seen you, so the queen won't blame me, right? Zhu Qizhen asked half-jokingly.
Who knew that Qian Jinluan changed his appearance just now, and asked seriously: "Is the emperor so dislike that the concubines are not sensible?"
Besides, the concubine has been fasting and praying for the emperor for half a month, and today has just expired, so she can come to see the emperor, how can you have the kind of mind you said. ”
Zhu Qizhen said embarrassedly: "How can it be, I am also guilty, it's good that the queen doesn't get angry with me." I understand the queen's intentions, so I don't know what to say......"
Faced with the traditional women's husband-oriented lifestyle, Zhu Qizhen has not fully adapted, and their thinking mode is different from any woman he has personally contacted before.
"The emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the concubine prays for the husband naturally not to make the emperor grateful, as long as you are good, the concubine will be content."
Zhu Qizhen, who said something about Queen Qian, was moved again, although it was a little awkward at first, but after a long time, facing this well-read queen, there was no previous estrangement.
The two talked and laughed and quickly finished dinner, of course, it was usually Zhu Qizhen who was talking, and Queen Qian was listening, and the eyes that seemed to hide the little stars blinked from time to time, and they were full of admiration.
"Does the Queen have something to do at night?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something.
Qian Jinluan was stunned, she subconsciously thought that Zhu Qizhen wanted her to go back.
Some reluctantly said: "Your Majesty, the concubines are fine, then I will retire, you should rest early!" ”
"Hey, if it's okay, I'll go to a place with me, and eat by the way." Zhu Qizhen said with a mysterious smile.
When Qian Jinluan heard that she was not allowed to go, she instantly showed a happy smile and bowed her head elegantly: "The concubines naturally obey the emperor's orders." ”
Zhu Qizhen also smiled, and left the Qianqing Palace with Qian Jinluan from the east side door.
Qian Jinluan followed Zhu Qizhen through several palace gates in the Forbidden City, and seeing that Zhu Qizhen had no intention of stopping, he couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, where are you going to take your concubines?"
Zhu Qizhen showed a mysterious smile and said: "Don't be anxious, the queen is in a hurry, it's the season of high and crisp autumn, look how beautiful this chrysanthemum is!" Isn't it nice to go out and enjoy the flowers? ”
Qian Jinluan looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was cunning in his confidence, and nodded with satisfaction, although he felt that the emperor's personality had changed, but it seemed that this was also good.
In the night, a man and a woman, the father and mother of the Ming Dynasty, walked in the Forbidden City one after the other, passing by blooming flowers from time to time.
Osmanthus, rosemary, chrysanthemum, golden flower, other flowers, nine mile incense, upside-down golden bell, long gram flower, purple jasmine, tuberose, nightfall money, camellia, American cuckoo, hibiscus flowers, etc., compete to bloom, sending their charming fragrance to the tip of the nose.
In front of them, both noble and low can enjoy this fragrance, and each has its own characteristics to dedicate its beauty to this world.
Although the starry night is dark, it is accompanied by starlight, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of insects from time to time seems to welcome who is coming.
Finally, Zhu Qizhen stopped and stood in front of the palace gate and looked at Qian Jinluan with a smile.
Qian Jinluan naturally recognized where this was, and her laughter seemed to have a little complaint: "Your Majesty, you want to come to Xianyang Palace and sell with your concubines!" ”
Stopping the palace people who were about to report the news, Zhu Qizhen said: "The queen has a quieter voice, and I will quietly go and see what Shen is doing." ”
After speaking, he lightly entered the Xianyang Palace, which symbolizes the prince, although Zhu Jianshen has not been canonized as the prince this time, but as the eldest son, he still entered the Xianyang Palace early, and Zhu Qizhen also wanted to meet the infatuated Ming Xianzong.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that in the final Ming Dynasty, the so-called primogeniture inheritance system was not very particular, especially in the early and middle periods, from Zhu Biao to Zhu Youzhang, only Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji were the eldest sons, and the rest were born to concubines.
After Jiajing, there were strict regulations on the inheritance of the eldest son, of course, it may also be due to which queens did not give birth to sons, but in general, the eldest and youngest are still the main principle.
Xianyang Palace has a main hall, an apse, and four east and west side halls, at this time Zhu Jianshen was listening to a book in the study of the apse, and under the leadership of the palace people, he soon came to Zhu Jianshen's place.
And Zhu Jianshen's biological mother, Zhou Guifei, has already brought the princess of Chongqing to greet her.
"Shhhh Don't be quiet, I'll see the depths! Zhu Qizhen said with a silent gesture.
Zhou Guifei hurriedly lowered her voice, Zhu Qizhen and Qian Jinluan each gave a blessing: "The emperor, the queen Wan'an!" ”
Of course, the Chongqing princess next to her did not have this taboo, she was only three years old, she was not held by the palace maid's nurse, but after Zhou Guifei stopped, she struggled to run to the ground, looked at Zhu Qizhen and shouted timidly: "Father!" ”
Zhu Qizhen has longed for the company of his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and he likes children even more, seeing that the little girl is so cute, he can't help but hold it in his arms and rub her little face with his beard.
The little girl laughed: "Father, your beard is so itchy, giggle." ”
"Do you want to be my father! Good daughter! Zhu Qizhen is also in a good mood.
"Yes! I don't even know my father anymore, you have to come to see me more in the future! ”
"Good! Daddy will definitely come to see Niu Niu often! Zhu Qizhen agreed.
Qian Jinluan and Zhou Guifei looked at the father and daughter with the same joy, especially Zhou Guifei, although she was indifferent by nature, but when she saw the family happiness of the father and daughter, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, and even seemed to talk a lot more than usual.
"Your Majesty, you are already very tired from dealing with the government, so let the concubines hug you."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop him: "My daughter is naturally hugged by me, and none of you can interfere." ”
Queen Qian stood aside, looking at the appearance of the emperor's family of three, her eyes were sour for a while, she had not yet given birth to an heir for the emperor.
Zhu Qizhen also noticed that Qian Jinluan was in a bad mood, and knew in his heart that she was sad because she had not been able to get pregnant, which should be the thing that ancient women cared about the most.
"Niuniu, is it okay to let the queen mother hug you? The queen mother said she missed you! Zhu Qizhen asked the daughter in his arms.
The little girl was obviously very familiar with Qian Jinluan, and when she heard Zhu Qizhen's words, she automatically stretched out her hand to Qian Jinluan, and said, "Hug the queen mother!" ”
In an instant, the sourness in Qian Jinluan's heart disappeared, and he took the little girl with a smile.
Zhu Qizhen didn't care about the amusement of the mother and daughter behind him, and focused on Zhu Jianshen in the room.
I saw Zhu Jianshen, who was just one and a half years old, being hugged by others, listening to his teacher reciting "The Book of Poetry, Xiaoya", doing early education in the Ming Dynasty.
"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food. I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective. I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild Qin. I have guests, drums and pianos. The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious. I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests. ”
