Extra one
It's another draft year, but there are already princes and princesses in the palace, and there are seven or eight concubines.
Jiang Xufeng is busy with government politics, and he doesn't care much about the draft, and he is in good interest in the harem on the fifth or sixth day, and he stays directly in Fengyi Palace on weekdays.
So in this draft, only three of Jiang Xufeng's newly promoted daughters of close ministers entered the harem, and the rest either entered the clan family's mansion, or went home to marry on their own.
Concubine Hui died of illness at the beginning of the year, and it was considered to be for the eldest prince, and she was buried as a virtuous concubine. Now the eldest prince is five years old and lives in the Ning'an Hall behind the Taichen Palace, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged by Wen Jing.
The children in the palace are all precocious, and the eldest prince is sensible, well-behaved and obedient.
Moreover, Concubine Hui has been sick for several years, and the time spent with the eldest prince after he became sensible was even less. The mother died of illness, and the eldest prince was sad, but his insecurity prevailed.
Fortunately, Concubine Hui's Su Yu who stayed with the eldest prince is an understanding person, and she often mentions that the eldest prince gets along very well with Wen Jing, the mother-in-law.
As for Su Wen, who was trusted by Concubine Hui before her death, she was not pure-minded, and said some specious things to the eldest prince, and was told by Su Yu in front of Wen Jing, Wen Jing found an excuse to send her to the Inner Servant Province to work as a coolie, and I am afraid that I will never see the eldest prince again in this life.
As soon as spring passes, it will rain in some places, and Jiang Xufeng has recently been discussing with the courtiers about the flood control, and I am afraid that this year's trip to the palace will be in the soup again.
The three newlyweds entered the palace, and it was the beginning of May, and the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming. Wen Jing made a temporary decision and set up a small banquet in the imperial garden to invite the concubines to enjoy the flowers.
Jiang Xufeng discussed some differences with the officials of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry today, and he was really annoyed and didn't want to continue to stay in the Liangyi Palace to deal with government affairs, so he got up and went to Fengyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, the queen is holding a flower-viewing banquet in the imperial garden, and I am afraid that it will not be in Fengyi Palace at this time." Zhu Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to remind.
Jiang Xufeng frowned slightly when he heard this: "What are they doing when they are okay and always sticking to the queen?" ”
The corners of Zhu Zhan's mouth twitched, look at what the emperor said, this is a flower-viewing banquet held by the queen's mother, which concubine in the harem dares not to go?
The Imperial Garden is full of flowers, and new varieties of peony flowers have been cultivated in the Inner Servant Province, and the large flowers are blooming together.
Wen Jing was wearing a goose yellow breast-length skirt embroidered with silver, covered with a layer of glorious gauze, and her hair was in a high bun and full of pearls. Even standing among the flowers, she is more delicate than flowers, and her gently raised red lips make her appearance more colorful.
The concubines who entered the palace early often sighed at the appearance of the queen's mother, not to mention the three newcomers who had just entered the palace. Just turned sixteen or seventeen years old, very young, saw the palace concubines in gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes first shortened, and then saw the queen mother, even more stunned.
Jiang Xufeng's steps stepped into the imperial garden, and he saw Wen Jing surrounded by people from a distance.
Lin, the biological mother of the eldest princess of Zhaoyi, who is already the head of the nine concubines, stood on Wen Jing's right hand, and Zhuo's family, who was promoted to Jieyu, stood on Wen Jing's left hand, and An Meiren, who has always been a firm 'queen party', pointed to the peony in front of everyone and kept talking.
Then Jiang Xufeng saw it again, and Zhuo Jieyu didn't know what to say, which caused the concubines to coax.
Wen Jing doted on Zhuo Jieyu's forehead, and Zhuo Jieyu was very happy and excited, folding the largest peony flower in the flower bush and tiptoeing on Wen Jing's head.
Zhu Zhan held his breath and cautiously looked at the emperor's face.
Jiang Xufeng's face sank a little, and he raised his feet and walked in the direction of Wen Jing.
Zhu Zhan immediately shouted: "The emperor has arrived." ”
If Jiang Xufeng was still introverted when he first ascended the throne, since he dealt with the Song family and purged the court, his temperament and momentum on his body have become more and more outward.
Even the Xiangcai people and others who were in the palace were a little stunned at him, and the concubines actually felt that the emperor was becoming more and more unpredictable and difficult to serve. For the sake of his life in this palace, he naturally wants to please Wen Jing and lean on Wen Jing's side.
Of course Jiang Xufeng didn't think about it, he just saw these concubines surrounding Wen Jing and felt sour.
Still before Wen Jing saluted, Jiang Xufeng took the first step to hold Wen Jing's hand, and met Wen Jing's smiling eyes, and the sourness in his heart calmed down a little. glanced at the other concubines lightly: "You all retreat." ”
Lin Zhaoyi and An Meiren walked together, and walked out in a few steps, and An Meiren suddenly looked back.
I saw that the emperor took down the peony flower that Zhuo Jieyu wore on the queen's head as if he was disgusted, and pinched another budding hairpin flower for the queen's mother.
Looking down, the hands of the emperor and queen have always been held together, for so many years, it seems that as long as the queen is there, the emperor's hand will always be held with the queen mother.
Jiang Xufeng was still emphasizing that the peony flower he chose was good-looking: "It's still the one that I fold is more flattering to the queen." ”
Wen Jing was a little helpless, and followed Jiang Xufeng's words and said, "The emperor has a good eye. ”
"The queen was perfunctory, saying that the small kitchen had made new pastries for me, but the queen came here to enjoy the flowers with them."
"The pastries and concubines have already been prepared, and the emperor is accompanying the concubines to fold a few flower vases?"
"What do you see?" Lin Zhaoyi touched An Meiren's shoulder, "Let's go, I want to embroider a new look to make a purse for the eldest princess, I can't do it after learning to embroider for a long time, you go back with me to teach me." ”
An Meiren came back to her senses, and couldn't help but smile on her face, she had been with Lin Zhaoyi for a few years, and they didn't have so many rules when they spoke: "I don't look at anything, Zhaoyi's craftsmanship. It's better for the concubine to embroider a purse for the eldest princess by herself. ”
The sun was shining overhead, and Anmei really felt that such a day couldn't be better.
