Chapter 1 Do what you like

Ruixue Fengnian, Jingshi is covered in silver again, and now it is the sixth year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the world is smooth, and the world is peaceful, although only the people think so, after all, as long as this tax is not added to their heads, they don't care about what big chess the old men in the court play.

In a silver and peaceful palace, there is an elegant and graceful palace with fireworks, here is the Fengqi Palace, which is the residence of the queen.

On the first day of the new year, today is a big day for hundreds of officials to order women to enter the palace to visit, the emperor feasted and drank the ministers in the previous dynasty, and the queen received the families of those ministers here.

Even after six years, Yongle, who has become the mother of two children, is still the same color, the years have not left too many traces on her body, and she has received too many preferences.

The ladies and ladies in the seats all looked at Yongle with envy, they only knew that Jinyiwei was all executioners before, but they didn't expect that there was a special kind of love here, and there were several in a row, how could people not be envious.

The emperor is not interested in women, and there is only one master in the harem of the imperial city for six years on the throne, which is the envy of the daughter's family in the world, even if the emperor's reputation in the mouth of the literati is already terrible, but in the eyes of women, this affectionate emperor does not know how many people admire the object.

The emperor doesn't love women, which is a good thing and a bad thing for adults, the good thing is that the emperor has self-control, and he won't make any big trouble because of it, and the disadvantage is. They now have no way out to curry favor with the emperor.

Although the emperor is not stingy with pleasure, but also did not indulge in it too much, from the accession to the throne to today, very few people in Beijing can understand the emperor's preferences, except for the old department in Jinyiwei, it seems that there is only one person left, that is the former squire son Yang Zhiyuan, that is, the current Honglu Temple Shaoqing Yang.

Yang Gongzi, who relied on currying favor with Commander Lu, has finally come out now, although he still relies on the emperor's favor, but he himself is not without ability, and this eight-sided exquisite character is suitable for serving in Honglu Temple.

This Lord Yang was a good friend of the emperor in his early years, and now he has become the envy of many ministers, because compared to other people's gifts, Lord Yang's gifts can be accepted by the emperor gladly every time.

So, under the pleading and pleading of many ministers openly and secretly, Lord Yang was finally willing to open his mouth once, and told everyone the real means to curry favor with the emperor.

Think less about the emperor and care more about the queen.

This is the conclusion that Lord Yang has come to after many years of hard thinking, smart people can understand it at once, this is indeed true, the emperor's preferences are weird, not to mention, giving gifts to the emperor is easy to be caught by the imperial history and participating in a book, but if you focus on the queen, it will be different.

As a result, the ministers who were suddenly opened gave up directly currying favor with the emperor, and began to let their wives find ways to brush their presence in front of the queen.

At today's feast, there was a woman who spoke frequently to the queen.

"Speaking of which, the princess has also reached the age when she should go to school this year, and she studies hard, and if there are not a few good people around to take care of her, she will be too tired."

The woman's seemingly casual words made Yongle fall in love, the princess was already five years old, and it was time for her to find a few companions of the same age to read, even if it was to play with her.

"Mrs. Chen is right, the palace should prepare for the princess." Yongle nodded to the woman, who seemed to have received some affirmation, and began to speak excitedly.

"Speaking of which, the courtier's daughter is also this yearβ€”"

"Queen Mother, I heard that the plum blossoms in this palace are blooming beautifully this year, I don't know if I can make the courtiers also open their eyes."

One of them interrupted Mrs. Chen's words, and she was annoyed for a while, and was thinking about seeing who had ruined her good deeds, when she looked back at the person who spoke, and suddenly like a basin of cold water poured on her head, she reluctantly pulled a smile and stepped aside.

"This year's plum blossoms are indeed blooming well, so why don't we all go and see them together."

With that, Yongle got up and went to the imperial garden with all the women to enjoy the plum blossoms.

After everyone left, the last aunt in charge quietly called the little eunuch beside her.

The eunuch's face was full of eager flattery: "Aunt Amber, what do you command?" ”

The two powerful aunts in charge of the queen's side, one is amber and the other is vanilla, both of which were the queen's personal maids in the early years, and now they have become a non-negligible existence in the harem.

Especially this amber, almost everything in the queen's palace needs her to nod, maybe it was because Meng Guifei raised Yongle too well, so that those calculating things This princess also followed her mother, and the summary is four words, and she doesn't know anything.

Back then, there was Aunt Axiu in the palace of the concubine, but now it has been replaced by Amber to preside over the overall situation, it can be said that if there is no her, I am afraid that this Fengqi Palace will be chaotic the next day.

"That Mrs. Chen just now seems to care about the princess." Amber is pointed.

"Auntie is wise, that Mrs. Chen is the second time to mention the princess's companionship, the slave maid looks, she probably wants to recommend her own girl, the slave maid also heard that this Mrs. Chen has two sons under her knees, one of them happens to be a few years old with the princess."

Amber's eyes were slightly cold: "The princess is only five years old, and some people already want to start calculating, they are really bold, they only cut off the claws of these families last time, and now it seems that the scar is good and forgets the pain." ”

The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and responded: "My aunt is right, these people are bold, but they are just bullying the queen's kindness, and they can't think about anything more than three."

Amber sneered, "She won't have a third chance. The front hall hasn't been dispersed yet, has it? ”

"It's going to be lively." The little eunuch replied.

"Okay, then you can go and bring a message to the commander for me." Amber glanced at the little eunuch, she hadn't finished speaking, thinking that the other party understood.

"The slave understands, aunt don't worry, the words will definitely be brought."

The little eunuch retreated, and then immediately left for the front hall, the banquet in the Taiji Palace was very lively, after all, between the staggering, a palace maid suddenly whispered something when she was adding wine to Ying Wuxian, and then retreated calmly.

After the banquet was over, Ying Wuxian followed his colleagues out of the palace and slowed down a few steps without a trace, and the little eunuch was waiting for him here.

"Father-in-law Cao, I don't know what to find the official?" Ying Wuxian asked.

Don't look at this little eunuch in front of anyone, he looks like he is low and small, his identity is not ordinary, his name is Cao Shun, he is the righteous son of the previous chief eunuch Cao Yuan, and now he is the leader of Dongchang, which can be described as a high power.

"Your Excellency," Cao Shun said in a low voice, "Recently, Mrs. Chen often mentioned in Niangniang's ear the matter of choosing a companion for the princess, and Aunt Amber was a little displeased when she heard it. ”

Ying Wuxian immediately understood, and there was coldness in his eyes: "Chen family, Chen family, hmph, it seems that the prestige of Chen Yin, the eldest lady, is nothing more than that, and it can't suppress the ambitions of those people so quickly, please ask your father-in-law to tell Miss Amber that this matter will definitely be dealt with by the official, and it will be hard for the father-in-law." ”

As he spoke, a silver ticket was stuffed into Cao Shun's hand, and the little eunuch's face suddenly became a little clearer.

Cao Shun lowered his eyes, and his voice was as thin as a fly: "Recently, when Niangniang was playing with His Royal Highness, she often mentioned the matter of going down to Jiangnan with His Majesty in the past. ”

Ying Wuxian bowed slightly: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
