Chapter 19: Liu's Love

After listening to the orders of the new emperor, the three of them went out of the palace gate of the Hongzhi Hall one after another.

The faces of the three people are gloomy, and whoever becomes a member of the first rank who is valued by the emperor becomes an existence that can be manipulated by others, I believe that the other party's heart will not be happy.

Tobe Shangshu patted the shoulder of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and asked with some sighs:

"Lao Liu, what are you going to do? Now the emperor's task is not easy to complete? The sentence of canonizing the imperial concubine is easy to say, but why and how to canonize Coco is a difficult problem.

Even though a Qi daughter was born in Mingyuan Houfu in the past, she is now just the daughter of a criminal minister, and her identity is not as good as a good family who entered the palace as a palace maid, so how can she be canonized as a concubine.

The second is how to define the power of the imperial concubine? The four concubines of Gui, Shu, De and Xian belong to Yipin, and they are noble enough among the palace concubines of this dynasty.

But the position of the imperial concubine is higher than it, so how should this honor guard be determined? Not only can you encroach on the status of the queen, but you must highlight the dignity of the imperial concubine, is this not easy? ”

After hearing his words, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also sighed slowly, as if he had found a soulmate, and then said:

"Who said it wasn't, but the top priority at the moment is to think about how to put forward the name of the imperial concubine first, and General Liu's mansion is the first to have a hard time."

At this time, the official Shangshu, who had not spoken, interrupted them with a speech, and only heard him say:

"The so-called wall has ears, don't talk to each other for now, wait for everything later."

The other two also glanced at each other, and then nodded in unison and left, leaving only a little palace maid on the side wall covering her mouth with a look of surprise on her face.

I saw that she was wearing a crimson palace dress, and her figure was a little thin, which was clearly the dress of the maid in the queen's palace.

Rouge was not the maid in the palace when Queen Liu was the princess, nor did she marry with her from General Liu's mansion, but she was casually transferred to the Luanfeng Palace after entering the palace, so she couldn't see Queen Liu's face, and naturally she didn't have any authority.

Now in the harem, each palace is divided into a first-class palace maid, a second-class palace maid and a third-class palace maid, and there are four rooms above the first-class palace maid, which are the treasure room, the dining room, the division room, and the system room, among which the person in charge of each room is the six-grade female official, which is located in the jurisdiction of the five-grade Shang Palace, and is called the female official of the Shang Palace Bureau.

Rouge was transferred from the palace maid trainee of the Shanggong Bureau, she was originally assigned to the dining room, but because she had no talent in cooking, she was quite neat, so she was assigned to the Luanfeng Palace.

It stands to reason that Luan Feng Palace's bedroom as the queen should belong to a transcendent existence in the harem, and this was the case when the first emperor Empress Qi was there, and Queen Qi was extremely generous to the palace people, making Luan Feng Hall a place that everyone in the harem yearns for.

But today's queen seems to be a little irritable, and whenever something doesn't go her way, she beats and scolds the palace maids at every turn, so the palace maids who have some money are far away, and it's the turn of rouge.

Because Rouge is not very smart, everyone in the Luanfeng Palace can oppress her, and now the relationship between the emperor and the queen is not harmonious, but Empress Liu wants to find out about the movements of the new emperor, so she sent the palace maids around her.

But everyone knows that this is not a good errand, and the crime of secretly spying on the emperor's whereabouts cannot be afforded even by the palace maids around the queen, so they retreat one on the left, and the other retreats, and finally this errand becomes the most unclever rouge.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Rouge passed through the Hongzhi Hall today, she heard the news that she was going to canonize the imperial concubine, so she hurriedly ran back to the Luanfeng Palace.

Just waiting for her to enter the inner hall, she bumped into Jing Yuan, the first-class palace maid beside the queen, Jing Yuan was first bumped, and then when she raised her head to see the person who came, she said impatiently:

"Let you stay in the Hongzhi Palace, what are you trying to do when you rush back? I told you that if you want to anger your mother, I can't protect you. ”

"Sister, I have something important to tell my mother, and I have to trouble you to pass it on."

"What can a little third-class palace maid like you say? Disturbing the mother's Yaxing, can you afford it? I told you that Niangniang was angry again just now, and she was persuaded just now, if you have caused Niangniang's anger because of some irrelevant things, you can bear it. ”

Seeing that Jing Yuan didn't take his words to heart, Rouge was anxious, and hurriedly whispered what he had just seen and heard.

Jing Yuan lowered her head and listened, originally she didn't care a little, but when she heard the emperor's plan to canonize the imperial concubine and the conversation between the three Shangshu lords, she was also anxious.

Jing Yuan took Rouge's hand and entered the Luanfeng Palace, and whispered to her:

"Remember that when you get to Niangniang for a while, you have to tell Niangniang everything you heard word for word, but you can remember it."

"Yes, the slaves and maids have all memorized, and they must tell the mother one by one."

Seeing the little palace maid's stunned appearance, Jing Yuan's face seemed to have a trace of unbearability, but thinking of the queen's angry appearance just now, she couldn't help but be silent for a while, but she still didn't speak, just leaned slightly sideways and entered by the other party.

Empress Liu's mood is not very good, but it is not too bad, just because of the makeup she was slightly happy for a moment, but then remembered Qi Min'er who hooked all the emperor's thoughts, she was trying to let people take out all these jewelry and throw them away, but the palace maids serving around her knew Queen Liu's preferences very well, and said a lot of gifts that the new emperor gave to each other when he was newly married, which made Queen Liu can't help laughing again, and generously rewarded a few people.

Now she was opening the dresser, admiring the gifts given by the new emperor to the prince, but unexpectedly, rouge walked in and knelt down beside her, startling Empress Liu.

I saw that her eyebrows were lowered, and when she saw that she was a little palace maid who was not in the stream, she motioned to the palace maid next to her and asked her:

"Is there some hysteria? ran in in such a hurry and rushed into the mother, and said something immediately. ”

Listening to the reprimand of the palace maid, Rouge trembled and told all the things she heard outside the Hongzhi Palace, and Empress Liu, who originally had a little smile on her face, suddenly swept the jewelry on the dresser with her sleeves, and all the originally exquisite and gorgeous jewelry was broken.

And the queen said hatefully:

"At the beginning, my father had already written to the emperor and repeatedly advised him, I thought he had changed his mind and would no longer canonize Qi Min'er's fox as the imperial concubine.

Unexpectedly, he secretly summoned all the three Shangshu, which is really a good skill, and this ability is not in the palace, the main wife and queen, but for a cheap maid, how can this palace tolerate it?

I said why did the emperor suddenly choose all the women of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Household to enter the palace, but he didn't favor them, it turned out that he wanted to be blackmailed.

Otherwise, those old foxes have always been wise and self-protective, how can they be willing to be enemies of the Liu family, Your Majesty is really far-sighted, even if Qi Min'er's slut is far away in the palace, he still has this means to seduce His Majesty, come here! Come and change my clothes, I'm going to see Your Majesty. ”

After that, the queen lowered her head and saw herself in the mirror again, at this time the beauty was wearing a light-colored dress, lined with a slender figure, and the eyebrows were just swept by the moth eyebrows, which was really a gentle and appropriate dress, but it seemed to be a little inconsistent with the gorgeous facial features.

But Empress Liu thought of the new emperor's previous preferences, this dress is really similar to Qi Min'er, maybe the emperor will like it? She was a little hesitant, but finally closed her eyes and said lightly:

"You don't have to change it anymore, that's it, and the cloak doesn't need the golden silk embroidered with peony flowers, just the plain cloak with clouds and flowers."

Looking at the palace maids serving around her, one went out to prepare the sedan chair, the other went to find a cloak for her, and some of the palace maids stood in the distance and looked at themselves quietly, as if they were a little scared.

Empress Liu felt a little self-deprecating in her heart, she seemed to be getting more and more irritable, and she had changed a lot for the emperor's love.

The emperor likes Qi Min'er, and Empress Liu inquired and knew that Qi Min'er was obsessed with poetry and books, and she loved to play the piano and paint, so she left her always favorite horseback riding and archery, and tried to turn herself into a lady.

Even for the emperor's love, she deliberately asked people to redeem Qi Min'er's upbringing when she raided the house in the Mingyuan Marquis's mansion, and asked her to teach herself some of the subtle actions that Qi Min'er did, just to win a trace of pity from the emperor, for this feeling, she has really lowered herself a lot.

Queen Liu's little change is just to make herself more like Qi Min'er, if this matter is put before her and Xu, in front of the once proud Liu concubine, saying that she will make such a big change for a person, I am afraid that she will just smile contemptuously and say that the other party is just stupid.

But even so, he still doesn't want to stay on her for even a second longer, let's try again today, see if he can be moved by her for a moment, just for a moment, she doesn't want too much.

Empress Liu secretly looked forward to it in her heart, because she was the youngest daughter in the family, her father was a military general, and she was always unwilling to restrain her with those rules, and her brothers also loved her very much.

She has always been an arrogant and domineering noblewoman, but for the sake of the new emperor, she is willing to restrain all the thorns on her body, just to make him smile.

He said that riding a horse was not dignified enough, so she sent the maroon pony that had accompanied her since she was a child back to Liu's house.

He said that he hated women wearing flowers and willow green, so she put away her favorite bright dress, and only wanted to dress more elegantly, even if it was not suitable for her pretty facial features, but she was willing.

But for his own sake, he was willing, but it seemed that no matter how much she changed, she couldn't get into his eyes, but it made her disgusted even more.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the sedan chair has arrived, does Niangniang get up at this moment?"

Yuzhu, another big palace maid beside Empress Liu, looked at Empress Liu's somewhat lost expression, and asked tentatively, only to hear that the queen's voice was not as domineering as just now, but a little depressed, only to hear her say:

"Forget it, in addition to making the emperor even more angry, what is the effect? Do you want the emperor to dislike me more? You send someone out of the palace to tell your father, saying that I want to see Qi Min'er quietly once, don't let the emperor know, just in the next few days, let my father pay attention to the arrangement. ”
