Chapter 163: The Queen of the Two Palaces
After I took care of all the affairs, I once again rewarded all the ministers in the Jinluan Palace with five taels of silver each, anyway, I used my own private treasury silver, which has nothing to do with the cabinet, and the ministers heard that the emperor used private silver to reward again, and they all smiled and even showed their molars...... After retiring from the court, I was about to go back to Kunning Palace, and a little palace maid came to kneel down and report: "The masters of the Heart Cultivation Palace miss the emperor," by the way, there are still concubines in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and her name has long been like thunder.
"Oh, then go to the Heart Cultivation Hall first, even Father-in-law, let's go, let's go to the Heart Cultivation Palace" Quanfu Father-in-law was waiting at the door, his loyalty to me was true, and it was estimated that it would not be much worse than Wang Chengen. Last time, I said to Quan Fu: "Then what is the name of the eunuch who accompanied Chongzhen to Jingshan or the coal mountain?" Quan Fu replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, that is Jingshan, because it has piled up coal, so it is also called Coal Mountain, and the eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself is called Wang Chengen,"
"Oh, it's a pity, it's rare to see such a loyal eunuch," "Your Majesty, a slave can do the same," Quan Fu thought that this was a little wrong, didn't he secretly say that he was comparing Qingchao with Chongzhen? Quan Fu quickly moved the words away: "Actually, there is a eunuch next to Chongzhen who is quite talented, and he is also a loyal eunuch like Wang Chengen, he was originally going to go with Emperor Chongzhen, but he also has another mission, which can be regarded as Emperor Chongzhen's will," I was overjoyed when I heard it: "What is his name? Where is it now? Tell me quickly, ”
Quan Fu was also very happy: "Your Majesty, he is a distant relative of the slave, the surname of the Gusu person is Wu Mingcheng, because he has been repeatedly rewarded by Emperor Chongzhen and rewarded with silver taels, he changed his name to Cheng'en, which means that the emperor's kindness will never be forgotten." He lives in the imperial city, and he will definitely bring him to see the emperor next time, "This matter has passed for a while, and Quanfu must have been done." Soon came to the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw Quanfu from a distance. Next to Quanfu stood a very personable white-faced scholar, who should be a eunuch to be precise.
Quanfu led the "scholar" to kneel down to greet him: "The emperor is auspicious, the emperor, this is the grace that the slave said," "Oh, not bad." From now on, you will stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you will be Quanfu's assistant," "Emperor Xie," Cheng En kowtowed and thanked him. As soon as I stepped into the gate of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, I saw the palace maids running and jumping: "The emperor is here, the emperor is here." Hurry up, hurry up and report to the master, "The palace maids in the Heart Cultivation Palace are all spoiled by me, they are not afraid of this emperor at all, in their hearts, this emperor usually likes to use me or something when he speaks, very kind, no arrogance." It felt like a big brother next door.
Entering the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the palace maid came to salute, and walked out of the back pavilion with poetry and painting, Xueyan, and two girls behind. They are not dressed as palace maids, they look like masters in gorgeous clothes, poetry and painting and Xueyan are of course not polite to me, as I said, my wives don't need to salute when they see me, and a verbal greeting is enough. Poetry and painting, Xue Yan, one by one holding my arm coquettishly, while greeting poetry and painting. I saw two girls getting closer and closer to me, and I looked up. "Oops," I exclaimed, surprised.
Everyone also looked at this place, and I eased my excitement: "Aren't you Xiaorou? sister, why are you here? And you, aren't you just candy? Hey, it's getting bigger again!" The emperor really has good eyesight, she is the world's first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Yuanyuan, many of the chief military supervisors want to be her guests, how can Chen Yuanyuan not reach the age of going out of the cabinet to win the oiran, a few days ago when the Ming Dynasty did not die, Wu Sangui also sent someone to Chen Yuanyuan to send three thousand taels of silver, and later Chen Yuanyuan was brought into the palace by the eunuch and did not see Wu Sangui any movement. ”...
"Candy, have you ever seen Wu Sangui?" Chen Yuanyuan thought to herself that she was still a virgin in the cabinet, how did she become candy? Who is Candy? It must be the daughter of the emperor's original favorite, but why do you want to mention Wu Sangui to me? Who is Wu Sangui? Chen Yuanyuan was very confused: "Your Majesty, the little woman's name is Chen Yuanyuan, who is Wu Sangui?" I don't know, I haven't heard of it, I haven't seen it, maybe he did send Qian Liang, but it was given to his mother, it has nothing to do with the little woman, Your Majesty, who is the candy?"
Hehe, yes, Chen Yuanyuan is still young, I haven't seen Wu Sangui yet, Wu Sangui just saw Chen Yuanyuan's portrait and was suspected of being a celestial, and he was hired early, preparing Chen Yuanyuan to set a position on the day he left the cabinet to grab the jackpot, fortunately, I came in time and luckily, my candy was not robbed by others. I jokingly said, "You are my wife, do you believe it?" Chen Yuanyuan was even more strange: "Yuanyuan was originally the emperor's wife, why? The emperor doesn't want Yuanyuan anymore?" "How come, Yuanyuan has always been my wife," touching Chen Yuanyuan's head, her heart seemed to be hanging before it settled down a little.
I turned around and asked Xiao Rou again: "Xiao Rou, do you still know my brother?" Cheng En came up again and whispered in my ear: "Your Majesty, her name is Yu Jiao, and she is the daughter of Emperor Chongzhen, Princess Changping," Yu Jiao saluted me again: "The emperor is auspicious, the little girl is no longer a princess, the Ming Dynasty is dead, and the title of the little girl naturally no longer exists, and I hope the emperor can re-canonize it," What Yu Jiao said is right, in this society, there is no name and no points, but if you announce the canonization to the world, then don't offend the four genuine wives, I just didn't have a long time to have a peaceful life is gone, I thought in my heart: "Then so be it, I will only canonize the four of you in the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Yu Jiao is the queen, poetry and painting are the concubines, Xue Yan is the concubine, Yuan Yuan is the virtuous concubine, the four of you use the same amount as my four wives in Kunning Palace, but all the money is from my private treasury,"
"Yes, Your Majesty" the wise Cheng'en was the first to kneel down and receive the decree, and then all the people received the decree. Now there are two queens in two palaces, one bright and one dark, how good is this, they won't quarrel if they don't see each other, hehe, how beautiful the world is, I can sleep peacefully. "Your Majesty, why do you say that Yu Jiao is the emperor's sister?" I just smiled: "Of course it's not my own sister, I don't want to show your left hand, is there a green pine pigeon blood ruby ring?" At this time, the women were dressed with big sleeves, the higher the status, the bigger the sleeves, only the children of poor families wear clothes with small cuffs, small sleeves are less used for fabric, and secondly, the cuffs are small, and it will be much easier to do things. Of course, the delicate ladies don't do housework anymore, so the sleeves of their clothes are very wide, and no one can see the little hands hidden in the sleeves. (To be continued)
