Chapter 54: Excessive modesty is disgusting
Her arrogant little appearance made Emperor Xuanwu laugh out loud, and he couldn't help but joke with her: "Others praise you for your good looks, but you don't know how to be modest, do you know how to be ashamed?" β
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "Your Majesty, excessive modesty will be annoying." Just like the concubine praised you for being a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, do you also think that the concubine has a vision? β
Could it be that the emperor will say that I am not?
Emperor Long Yan Dayue, who was invisibly slapped with a dragon's fart, hugged her from behind: "On the second spring equinox of February, I want to lead hundreds of officials to go to the folk spring ploughing, do you want to go with me?" β
I have long heard that the ancient emperor had a spring ploughing ceremony of "ploughing and ploughing", but I have only seen it in TV dramas, but I don't know what the scene is at the scene, Jiang Xinyue is still very curious.
Her eyes widened, and she had already thrown the emperor's suspicion of her unhappiness out of the clouds, and her eyes were full of anticipation: "Can the concubine also go?" Are you sure? β
Emperor Xuanwu rarely died, and she gave timely feedback on her emotions: "I said you can go, you can go." β
On the day of spring ploughing, the queen also has to go, and it is not difficult to bring two more concubines.
Cining Palaceββ
Although Empress Dowager Wu ignored the affairs of the harem, she knew which concubine the emperor favored and which concubine he rewarded.
In a strong smell of bitter medicine, Concubine Rong's haggard and pale face was revealed.
The palace people in Cining Palace are more serious than those elsewhere, their steps are so light that they can hardly be heard, their breathing is shallow, everyone is not smiling on their faces, and they do not talk to each other.
The gorgeous Empress Dowager Wu sat on the edge of the bed, not far from the ground, and kneeled a woman with a light temperament like a chrysanthemum and a beautiful appearance.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Concubine Rong spread her hair: "Sister has been kneeling for two hours, the weather is cold, if there is anything wrong with kneeling, you will also feel distressed." β
The blue-colored woman on the ground is actually a noble concubine who has been named a concubine.
Empress Dowager Wu snorted coldly: "Concubine Shuniang is self-sufficient, the emperor lowered her body to beg her, and she was unwilling to forgive the emperor, so she drove the Ninety-Five Supreme out of Jingren Palace, and let Zhen Zhaoyi pick up a big bargain." Now the mourning family pities Concubine Rong for your murder and miscarriage, and wants your sister to regain her holy grace, and she is unwilling to help you find out the real murderer, I think I hope that a few of our Wu family members will die as soon as possible! β
Concubine Shu has relatives in her heart, and the heavy sadness in her eyes can't be dissolved: "Why does my aunt need to pierce Shi'er's heart?" The emperor loved Shi'er in the past, and he was all for his aunt and father. Since the fall of the Wu family, the emperor has long been disgusted with Shi'er, and now between Shi'er and the emperor, there are more than 200 lives of the Wu family, and my aunt let Shi'er compete for favor, how should Shi'er deal with herself? β
"Then you're going to wait for death in this harem?"
Empress Dowager Wu didn't know that the emperor was guarding herself, and the queen candidate that the emperor wanted to marry back then was originally a concubine, but the emperor secretly selected the daughter of the Zhu family, which made her so angry.
"The emperor is disobedient, you are pregnant with a son of the Wu family as soon as possible, and the mourning family asked the emperor to make him the crown prince, won't our Wu family prosper again?"
If the son is disobedient, he will change his grandson to sit on this throne, where does the royal family come from? She wants supreme rights.
"That Zhen Zhaoyi, I can't stay any longer, the mourning family sees that she has fascinated the emperor."
For that lowly girl, she also contradicted her own queen mother, which is simply unfilial.
"Auntie!"
Concubine Rong grabbed her sleeve: "It was Zhen Zhaoyi who saved the concubine." β
"Smack!"
The pale little face was slapped, but it showed a bit of a sickly flush, and the Empress Dowager Wu pulled out her sleeves and got up: "One or two are stupid, why did my Wu family have you two bad things?" In short, the mourning family put their words here today, among you, no matter which one of them, there must always be a prince who gives birth to a prince. If not, you know the means of mourning. β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu turned pale.
Although my father died, my mother and brother were still struggling in Ningguta, and if the Queen Mother used them to threaten, Concubine Shu wanted to ...... There was no room for her to refuse.
In the next few days, Emperor Xuanwu was evenly stained with rain and dew in the harem, except for going to Yikun Palace on the fifteenth day of the first month, three days in January rested at Concubine Li in Changxin Palace, and two days were given to Concubine De, two days were given to Concubine Liang, and one day was given to Jin Zhaoyi and Zhang Wanyi.
What surprised Jiang Xinyue the most was that the concubine of Jingren Palace, the niece of the Queen Mother, had six days to accompany her.
The rest of the days were either resting in Hexi Palace or sleeping alone in Chengqian Palace.
No matter how strong the stallion is, it also needs to be paid attention to, otherwise it will die and lose the adult.
Among those show girls who entered the palace with Jiang Xinyue, some were left behind after being pampered once, and some entered the palace for more than half a year and never even saw the emperor's face.
can only sigh at the moon, after all, there is no one in the palace to pity them.
There is only one emperor, where is the enough point?
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of February, and early in the morning, Wang Dequan came to Hexi Palace to inform him, and the emperor asked Zhen Zhaoyi to wear simple clothes, dress plainly, and go to Taihe Hall to gather.
Jiang Xinyue wore a silver-gray short gown, a short linen skirt often worn by peasant women, a pair of blue trousers, a gray cloth shoe under her feet, three thousand green silk wrapped in a turban, and a dark red agarwood hairpin was simply inserted, which looked plain and clean.
The time when she arrived at the Taihe Hall was not early, the emperor and queen had already arrived, and the concubine was also standing beside the emperor, dressed in a coarse cotton coat and wearing a coat on her body, which looked beautiful and dusty.
It seems that Wang Dequan went to Jingren Palace first, and then came to Hexi Palace.
I just don't know if this is the emperor's intention, or if the king has to come all by himself?
Concubine Li is pampered, she wore a coarse linen dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs during spring plowing last year, and she had a lot of rashes on her body, so she said that she would not come this year.
Therefore, among the palace concubines, in addition to the queen, there are only Concubine Shu and Jiang Xinyue.
Her status is the lowest among the four, so it is natural that the sedan chair is in last place.
This is the first time Jiang Xinyue has gone out of the palace since she crossed over and saw how the real ancient people survived.
Frostfall opened the curtain at the window for her, so that she could better see the outside scene, and it was convenient for herself.
Zhen Zhaoyi is really a good master, knowing that she was sold into slavery in the palace at the age of six, and what it was like outside the palace, she didn't remember it for a long time.
So this time out of the palace, she didn't bring a magpie, and deliberately brought her out.
Because of the emperor's travel, the vendors on both sides of the street have long been ordered not to put them anymore, and the streets have been cleaned up, only the curious people are stopped by the officers and soldiers, lined up on both sides, and look at the procession coming out of the palace gate with anticipation.
