Chapter 231: Three Women, One Play (Part I)
Beijing, Forbidden City.
Ciqing Palace.
Li Xuanzhi hurriedly walked in front of the face of the late lady who was familiar to all the palace people, and behind him were fifteen-year-old Zhu Youxiao and ten-year-old Zhu Youzhen, as well as Zhu Youxiao's nurse guest Yinyue.
This Li Xuan, who has a domineering spirit, is known as "West Li". There was another servant surnamed Li in the inner court of the Forbidden City, who was called "Dong Li" because of his residence in the east.
The prince of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the East Palace, in addition to the concubine, according to the rule, there are ladies, talents, and waiters and other female scrolls.
In terms of position, Xi Li is one level higher than the palace people who have never slept in the palace.
But the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Youxiao's mother, Wang Cairen, was not favored, and died of illness last year, and Zhu Youxiao has been raised by this Xi Li. Another emperor's grandson, Zhu Youzhen's mother, Lady Liu, because of her lonely and strong temperament, refused to admit her mistakes, and starved to death in the cold palace after being scolded by the crown prince Zhu Changluo.
Now the whole palace, inside and outside the capital, all know that Wanli Ye is about to go, and when Zhu Changluo is orthodox, although this Xi Li only gave birth to a daughter, maybe he can also get the title of the fourth concubine because of the merit of raising the emperor's eldest son. Zhu Changluo has no crown princess, and the queen's throne is temporarily vacant after ascending the throne, and the six palaces must be handed over to Xi Li first.
Therefore, on the eve of autumn, the eunuchs and palace people in the back court of the Forbidden City have curryed favor with Xi Lilai.
Li Xuanshi's gaze crossed the small firefighters who saluted her on the side of the road, and landed in the direction of Wenhua Hall and Yuhe.
There were significantly more guards in several places than at the turn of spring and summer. Looking from afar, the people who went to the cabinet, or to the Ciqing Palace, which was the prince's dormitory, were suddenly stopped like ants hurrying forward, and they should be checked or surveyed by the guards of the forbidden army.
Li Xuanzhi sneered, turned back to Ke Yinyue and said, "The rich are coaxed in the mountains, and the poor are in the downtown and no one asks. Look, the poor sour households in our downtown also have a day when the stars hold the moon. If Ciqing Palace had been so heavily guarded, would that stupid big man be able to break in?"
Li Xuanzhi said "Eucalyptus". In the forty-third year of Wanli, a rough man named Zhang Cha, armed with a wooden stick, broke into the residence of the crown prince Zhu Changluo, Ciqing Palace, and injured people, and later confessed that it was the eunuch Pang Bao who instigated him. Pang Bao was a person in Zheng Guifei's Yikun Palace, so the Donglin faction of the prince of the outer court station played one after another, directly accusing Zheng Guifei of wanting to murder the prince and welcoming back his son, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king who had already become a vassal, as the prince.
Emperor Wanli, who has favored Zheng Guifei for decades, finally walked in front of the ministers for the first time in order to strongly suppress the public opinion of the government and the opposition, and co-starred with the crown prince Zhu Changluo in a family drama of father and son, filial piety and benevolence of the concubine.
In the faint fragrance of Guizi in early autumn, Ke Yinyue adjusted her steps and stepped forward, and said gracefully behind Li Xuanzhi's side: "No, Ji Tai is coming, Niangniang's good days are still to come."
Li Xuanzhi pursed his lips and squinted at Ke Yinyue: "Mama Ke, the slave next to me shouts this palace, and this palace feels like she is responding to me, and you are "Niangniang", and this palace listens to it."
[In view of the general environment,
The selection of waiters is of low taste, and it stands to reason that it is not the turn to be honored as a "mother".
Ke Yinyue hurriedly stopped, bowed down, and lowered her voice: "The slave is a country woman from Baoding, who has little knowledge and is clumsy. If a slave or maid has a heart made of flesh, she must always be grateful for her kindness."
Li Xuanzhi nodded, his face softened.
In Beijing around the Qixi Festival, the skirts worn by the palace people are still light. Although the Hakka family has passed thirty years this year, he has given birth and fed, but his body is not bloated and collapsed, the upper shirt of the waist is more graceful, and the face with bright eyes and pink cheeks is even more like the person in the painting.
Li Xuanzhi has a good impression of the Hakka family, just because this slave and maid have such a good appearance, but there is no fox, every time he leads Zhu Youxiao to see the prince Zhu Changluo, and let the father see clearly that his son is not missing arms and legs, the accompanying nurse Keshi is far away in the courtyard behind the threshold, shrinking in a proper manner, not rubbing against the prince.
Li Xuanzhi was just about to turn around, but his eyes suddenly dimmed.
She saw Zhu Youxiao, who was close to an adult man beside Hakka, and the direction of his eyes flowing, clearly running towards the snow-white back of his neck that was exposed when Hakka leaned over to reply, and then slowly sank and landed on Hakka's clear back waist and plump buttocks.
"Obscene billet," Li Xuanzhi only felt that this kind of gaze was familiar, and couldn't help but curse secretly, "In the future, it will be the same virtue as your father, and when you are merry and happy, you will love to hold the woman from behind and gnaw her neck, just like those male cats and beasts."
Li Xuanzhi was about to get angry, but saw Zhu Youzhen pointing to the pool in the corner of Ciqing Palace and said, "Li Niangniang, the wooden cart that the eldest brother made last time rushed out of the flying spring, can the sons go and take a look?"
The elder brother Zhu Youxiao also raised his eyes as if he was awakened by the fifth brother.
The enthusiasm for the pleasures of men and women that had sprung up in the young man's lower abdomen a moment ago was suddenly replaced by the surprise of licking the calf.
Father, when he saw his father, who always looked disgusted, actually put the carpentry gadgets he made in front of the main hall of Ciqing Palace, if he stood under the corridor, he could see it at a glance.
When Zhu Youxiao was stunned, Zhu Youzhen had already started to go over to take a look, Li Xuanzhi had already raised his eyebrows, dragged Zhu Youzhen, and shouted in a low voice: "Fifth brother, Dong Li is used to you, I don't like this here." Your father is serving soup and medicine to the long-lived lord in the Qianqing Palace, and the concubine is waiting to see us in the Yikun Palace, and you are dragging your feet in the Ciqing Palace, what's the matter? Deliberately stumbling on this palace?"
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly stood solemnly, and admitted his mistake: "The school doesn't dare, Li Niangniang has learned a lesson."
The Hakka family stepped forward to play a round game: "Niangniang is angry, the fifth brother is still a doll after all, and it is common to be playful."
What I thought in my heart was that this old five was only ten years old, and it would make the method distract the attention of the surnamed Li, and it was a yard to protect his brother, the key is to know how to play tricks, fortunately, the fifth child was reincarnated late, otherwise if he was a nurse for him, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold him in the future.
turned to laugh again, the huge Forbidden City, the men as far as the eye could see, even if the handles were not complete, they were all like waste, just this little milk dog, there was still a little bit of courage.
Over there, Li Xuanzhi didn't delay any longer, and took a few people to Zheng Guifei's Yikun Palace.
Today is the concubine who went to see the emperor, she is the chosen servant of the prince, how dare she sit on her shoulders.
I only walked covered in sweat, and as soon as I entered the Yikun Palace, I knelt in front of the threshold of the main hall.
The great eunuch Cui Wensheng said in a harmonious voice in the door, "It's almost lunch, so I'm here."
Li Xuanzhi pinched out a look of panic and confessed: "Guifei Niangniang, my son had a stomach discomfort yesterday and tossed and turned all night, and when she got up this morning, every step was like stepping on cotton, and she walked slower."
Concubine Zheng's voice sounded: "If you are not in good health, you should be asked to be carried by the slaves and maids, and you are also my daughter-in-law, your own child, you don't have to pay attention to courtesy."
