Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 70

Because of her family background, Hu Xi did n’t enter or leave the palace often, but she has entered many times since childhood, but this time she entered the palace for the first time and was able to enter the inner palace by horse-drawn carriage. The attitude of the bodyguards and eunuchs towards her can be so good.

The carriage went straight in from the Suzakumon gate, and the guards who guarded the gate routinely asked a few words before letting go. Entering the palace gate, the carriage went a further way, and then she heard the voice of the **** in front of her.

“Mrs. Hu, Ms. Hu, in front of Zichen Hall, please ask two nobles to get off.”

Hu Xi supported her maid’s hand and stepped on the footrest to get off the carriage. I saw the surrounding rockery and flowers, and there was a bush of bamboo in the distance. It made people feel very quiet just watching.

“Have seen two nobles,” At this moment when she was in a daze, a blue **** walked in front of the mother and daughter, first respectfully saluted, and then said, “The two nobles came with slaves and queens The lady is waiting for the two. ”

“There is a father-in-law.” Mrs. Hu had seen this eunuch, who seemed to be called Bai Xian by the emperor, so when he saw him leading the way, he smiled politely at him.

“Where, where, you’re welcome.” Bai Xian saluted the two again, bowed slightly, and led them towards the direction of Zichen Hall. If he is an ordinary person, he will certainly not be so polite, but this wife Mrs. Hu and Gu Jia are in an in-law relationship. I heard that this Miss Hu is going to marry the queen’s maternal grandfather’s family. This relationship is closer.

Hu Xi saw that Bai Xian was so polite, smiled, and did not dare to ask more, An quietly followed behind him, and walked towards the direction of Zichen Hall.

Since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty, the Qiankun Palace has been the residence of the emperors, but the emperors have different hobbies, so the residences are different. Emperor Xiandi likes to live in the Qingzhao Hall, which is also the most luxurious bedroom in the Qiankun Palace. After succeeding to the throne today, it seems that I don’t like the style of Qingzhao Temple, or maybe the Queen Mother arranged the Zichen Temple where he lived, so after moving in, he has never moved.

Outside the Zichen Hall, with white jade as the order, the guards guarded the outer periphery, and the Dragon Guards guarded the inner periphery. It was almost a whistle step by step.

Stepping on the jade steps, Hu Xi could even feel the chill of those dragon guards holding swords around her waist. She couldn’t help but think, would it be psychologically stressful to live in this environment all day long?

“Uh.” When approaching the door, the dragon guards who originally held the sabers all took a step back, and the original sound was not loud, because their movements were too neat, and there was an indescribable deterrent.

She couldn’t help looking up at these dragon guards, and suddenly thought of her brother who was the vice-commander of the dragon guards. These people are all his colleagues?

“Ma’am, miss, please wait a moment.” Bai Xian bowed to the two and saluted, and then went into the inner palace to report. After a while, he came out again, with a smile on his face: “Two guys please.”

Hu Xi stepped into the gate and saw the exquisite decoration of the outer hall. The eunuchs of the court ladies couldn’t help lowering their eyebrows and looking down. When they came in, they didn’t even lift their eyelids, showing how strict the rules in the palace are.

Entering the inner hall, she saw the woman sitting on the top in a brocade suit, and the stiff smile on her face suddenly brought some real meaning. She came forward to salute, and was stopped by a court lady dressed as a female officer. .

“Mrs. Hu, Sister Xi,” Gu Rujiu smiled at the two of them, and then said, “There are only three of us here. You don’t have to pay attention to these rules. Please sit down.”

Mrs. Hu saw her, smiled at Gu Rujiu, and then sat down and said: “The lady is compassionate, but we must not forget the shape.” She looked up at Gu Rujiu and said, “I will not see you for a few days. Even better. ”

Gu Rujiu even said with a smile: “All said, it can be seen that I have actually become fatter recently.”

Hu Xi said: “It’s better to be fat. Two years ago, you were thin like that. We are all worried about you.”

Mentioned that two years ago, Gu Rujiu remembered the sister-in-law, and the smile on her face was slightly dull: “It can be seen that people are moving forward.”

“I …” Seeing Gu Rujiu’s complexion turned into that, Hu Xi regretted his impulse to speak, smiled apologetically, and didn’t know what to say.

“You don’t have to be like this,” Gu Rujiu smiled, “I know you were all worried about me, but time is really a good thing, and no matter how sad it is, you will learn to accept it slowly.” Whether the threshold can pass.

Hu Xi was relieved when he saw it, looked up around, and then whispered: “This palace is really beautiful, but how do I look at it, there are some shadows in your boudoir.”

Mrs. Hu worried that her daughter’s nonsense caused the queen to be unhappy, so she said with a sullen face, “What nonsense?”

“Mrs. Hu doesn’t have to be so careful. My sister and sister Xi, who have been sisters for many years, have nothing to say,” Gu Rujiu glanced around, learning from Hu Xi’s voice and lowering his voice: “The decoration in this temple, I married After entering the palace, I rearranged it, which was not the case before. ”

“It can be seen that the emperor really loves you,” Hu Xi said, and the smile on his face was a lot more sincere. “If you can live so well, the rest of our sisters will be relieved.”

Among several boudoir friends, Gu Rujiu was the youngest, but he was the first to get married. Although the object of the marriage is Dafeng’s most distinguished man, it is because of the identity of the other party that they are more worried. He was held up in his palm for a long time and grew up. Now he suddenly marries into the palace. The surface seems to be infinitely beautiful, and he doesn’t know how much he will be wronged.

Seeing that the emperor is so attentive to Jiu Jiu now, she more or less let go of her heart. At least the emperor has feelings with Jiu Jiu. No matter what concubine enters the palace in the future, the emperor will not embarrass him for a long time.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Mentioning Jin Margin, Gu Rujiu’s smile was stronger, “It’s a pity that the emperor went up today, otherwise he will receive you with me.”

“The emperor is in a good position, how can we bother,” Mrs. Hu saw that the queen really didn’t mind what her daughter said, so she let go of her. She looked around and saw that only Qiu Luo was standing inside the house, and then lowered her voice. , “Queen empress, there is one more thing I want to tell you.”

“What’s the matter?” Gu Rujiu saw Mrs. Hu’s expression serious, expecting something serious to happen, the smile on her face converged by two points.

“The mother and her majesty are still young and shouldn’t worry about the heir. It’s just that there are people with evil intentions outside the palace who are going to make an article on this matter and let her majesty accept the concubine.” intend.”

The Hu family has been in friendship with the Gu family for many years, and the glory of the Gu family is a good thing for the Hu family. Therefore, she is also happy to see that the queen ’s mother is in a stable position, and the Gu family is on the go.

“Na Fei?” Gu Rujiu frowned and raised his head to see that Hu Xi’s eyes were full of anxiety and worry. He smiled and said, “If the emperor intends to receive Fei, I will use all my means and I can’t stop it. If he doesn’t want it, even if The courtier’s persecution is useless. ”

“Niangniang.” Mrs. Hu sighed, as a matchmaker for the empress’s marriage, Mrs. Hu’s mood was very complicated. She believes that when she wants to marry Gu, she really loves big ones, but men’s love has always been like a tide, coming fast and going fast. If today’s true concubine, what can the queen do?

In fact, the queen is right, if the emperor is willing to accept the concubine, the queen can do anything more

Above the court, after the ministers reported what happened in various places, Jin Yang said: “I have everything I know about Ai Qing, and if there is nothing else, I will retreat.”

There are a few people under the court, you look at me, I look at you, and finally one of them came out across the line: “Your Majesty, if there is a courtier.”

Jin Yang glanced at the man’s robe. He was a fourth-grade spokesman. Only during the Dachao meeting was he qualified to go up. During the Xiaochao meeting, there was no place for him to stand.

With his right hand, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair slightly, Jin Yang retracted his gaze, and slowly said: “Speak.”

“Your Majesty, the harem is now empty, and the queen has entered the palace in the past six months without news of happiness. The minister waited and thought that for the sake of future generations, you should fill the harem with a good girl and stretch your heirs for you.” The official spoke with a serious face, “Your Majesty please Think twice. ”

“Mian Yan Zi heir?” Jin Yang lazily repeated the word again, and then said, “The queen has been in the palace for five months, you can’t wait to want the concubine, and on the ground that the queen has no heirs, it is really to let I am extremely disappointed! ”

“Your Majesty” Sipin was scared when she saw such words from the Emperor, “Your Majesty, Weichen is not malicious, just …”

“Shut up!” Jin Yang interrupted this person’s words and scolded: “□ □ once said, as a monarch, don’t be a good woman, don’t spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. As a court official, you have been studying for more than ten years, even Is n’t the gentleman ’s way clear? Did n’t Er wait for her concubine less than half a year after getting married and seeing that she had never been pregnant? ”

“Your Majesty, your backyard is your family, and your harem is a national matter. How can your waiters compare with you?” The four-speaking officials dare to bear the ugly notoriety and busy, “Please, His Majesty’s Mingjian.”

“Ming Jian? I know very well in my heart,” Jin Yang said coldly, “I think you are a **** man who spoils his wife, but how can you come up with such a brazen speech, someone like you in the Chaos do Speaking, it’s a shame for the Chinese government. ”

Baiguan was a little dumbfounded to hear this. Was n’t your majesty still okay before? How did the whole person explode after mentioning the matter of Nafei?

Speaking of conscience, not many people present at the military and military officials dare to pat their chests and say that they are not ridiculous at all, but everyone knows this kind of thing. If they say it, they will not be so glorious.

Zhang Zhonghan saw that the whispered spokesman was cold and sweaty, and even his heels were shaking, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, these people were too anxious.

The Queen Mother is now less than Double Eight Years. It is when you have a love with your Majesty. At this time, it is strange that someone jumps out and wants to go down to love other women.

Thinking of what the emperor said to him before, he sighed again, hoping that this was just the emperor’s thoughts, not really intending to spend a lifetime with the queen, and no other concubine.

“Your Majesty, please breathe anger,” Li Guangji stood up and said loudly, “Weichen knows that you have a deep affection for the Queen, but please think twice about Dafeng’s 100-year foundation. Weichen believes that the virtue of the Queen’s mother For Dafeng, to support this for you. ”

“Queen’s virtue, I naturally have a lot in my heart,” Jin Yang looked at Li Guangji with a blank expression, and said in a deep voice, “But the matter is not that the queen does not support and do not understand, but I do not want it. If Li Xiang thought, more Accepting a few women will make Dafeng more prosperous. Let me give you a few women first. Let me see if these women will make the Li family more glorious? ”

“Your Majesty!” Li Guangji did not expect that Jin Yang would say such a word. He originally intended to use this word to force the queen to express his position, knowing that the emperor directly blocked this road and carried all the reasons. How can they play this time?

The emperor was unwilling, they could not force him to concubine, nor dare to do so. If this is done, it will be heard in the ears of the people in the world that the emperor and the empress have deep feelings, and XX officials are thinking of sinister, forcing the emperor to accept the girl who is the concubine. What is the intention?

Spread to the ears of future generations, it is even more terrifying, I am afraid that the emperor and the emperor will become poor mandarin ducks, and today it is the shameless traitor who made Her Majesty the Concubine.

He calculated a little, but the only thing he didn’t do was that His Majesty was unwilling to accept Concubine’s heart. As long as His Majesty is unwilling to nod this head, no amount of planning is useful.

“Retreat!” Jin Yang was sullen and walked away without looking at the crowd in the hall, let alone Li Guangji who stood still and bowed.

When things are so far off, everyone looks a little ugly. In particular, the speaker who was angered by Jin Marting as “the shame of the central government” was already paper-faced and unstable.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and quit the Chaotang in twos and threes. There were also sharp eyes that Zhang Zhonghan didn’t lift his eyelids from beginning to end, as if he was not interested in the course of things at all. So the official who had some friendship with Zhang Zhonghan approached with a cheeky face.

“The lords laughed and laughed. From the perspective of the following, the harem is the emperor’s family affair. There is a man in the world who likes others to intervene in his own family affair. Not to mention the emperor is the emperor of Dafeng, the lord of the people, and his status is even more expensive. The adults are so offended, can the emperor Yan not be angry? “Speaking of which, he glanced at everyone,” Compare the hearts, the adults are also men. ”

This sounds reasonable, but there seems to be something wrong.

The officials surrounding Zhang Zhonghan thought stunnedly, as men, they naturally hoped that the more beauties around them, the better, but as men, they really did not love others to point fingers at their backyard.

So does the emperor really want to accept the concubine, or is he tired of others pointing fingers at him? This seems to be the most important point, so they looked at Zhang Zhonghan and Zhang Xiang in unison, you can’t give an accurate word?

“The emperor is the real dragon emperor, how could he think of his courtiers?” Zhang Zhonghan’s calm hands clasped his hands and walked out of the hall staggeringly under the eyes of everyone.

The crowd looked at his back and silently swallowed a throat of blood.

Sipin Yanguan stood in place for a long time before reluctantly regaining a little energy. He walked outwards one step at a time. After two steps, he was stopped. He looked back and suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

“Gu Shilang.” The fourth-grade speech officer arched his hand at the other party. The other party was the third-person Hu Shibu Lang. The official position was two levels higher than him. He just wanted to pretend that he didn’t hear it.

“Adult’s remarks are very exciting today, and this officer will bear it in mind.” Gu Zhiyu grinned at him with a smile. “Go ahead and take care.”

So why did you stop me? Sipin Yanyuan wanted to cry without tears, remembering the smiling face of the other party, and the few words spoken lightly, his feet were soft, his left foot stumbled to his right foot, thumped to the ground, and his forehead slammed on the jade.

He was busy with his hands and feet, and saw the colleagues around him avoiding him in a hurry, as if he was afraid of approaching like a beast of floods.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why other colleagues were not willing to make this early rafter. Only he is silly to be a **** to test the attitude of the emperor, and it is still unknown that he is used. Nowadays, he was reprimanded by the emperor and hated by Gu Jiaji. None of them stood up to speak for him. The promises made to each other in the face of their own interests disappeared as if they had never existed before.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please walk slowly.” He Ming chased behind Jin Yang, breathing out while holding an umbrella for him, “The weather is hot, don’t you get caught in the heat.”

Jin Yang ignored him and went straight ahead.

“Your Majesty, if you hurt your body, the Queen Mother will be sad again.” He Ming sees a lot of sweat on his forehead, his face flushed, and his lips are pale, worrying, “You are for the Queen Mother , Pay more attention. ”

Jin Mart stopped suddenly, He Ming couldn’t take it back for a while, and almost fell.

“I … I’m sorry Queen.” Jin Yang sighed and reached out to cover his face, feeling a little depressed. He married for a long time and entered the palace, which should have made her carefree, but let her worry about herself. Now it is because of the ambitions of these courtiers that she is backed by the infamous names of jealousy and mischief.

All this is clearly his fault, why should we let it take a long time?

In the Zichen Hall, the mother and daughter of the Hu family were about to leave, and they saw a black figure hurrying in. They stood up too quickly, before they had time to salute. The emperor had already sat down next to the queen.

“Sister-in-law Hu Yang has seen your majesty.” Mrs. Hu stepped forward and paid a salute to Jin Martingale.

“Mrs. Hu.” Jin Yang saw that it was Hu Yang’s, and his face eased a lot. He smiled at her and glanced at Hu Xi and said, “This is Ling Qianjin?”

“Your Majesty, this is the little girl.” Mrs. Hu replied head down.

“I often hear the queen mention Lingqian Jin, saying that she used to take care of the queen before,” said Jin Yang while washing his hands in the copper basin held by the court lady. “I would like to thank Miss Hu here.”

“The courtier and the queen are good sisters, and it should be taken care of each other. Your majesty does not have to say thanks.” Hu Xi raised his head and smiled at Gu Rujiu.

Gu Rujiu returned her with a smile.

When Mrs. Hu saw her majesty came in, she didn’t look very well. Guess that your majesty might have something to worry about, so she found a reason and got up to leave.

After leaving the palace, Mrs. Hu said to her daughter who was riding in a carriage with her: “If your majesty is an ordinary man, it would be better if the Gu girl marries him.”

Gentle and considerate, good looking, and kind and considerate to the relatives and friends of his wife and his family, it is simply impeccable.

The only thing missing is his identity.

“Perhaps … Your Majesty really will not accept the concubine for a long time?” Hu Xi was a little uncertain. “Is there any emperor in the history book that will never be concubine?”

Mrs. Hu looked at her daughter’s delicate face and didn’t speak. She wanted to tell her that the emperor who couldn’t afford the concubine under the heavens was a rare place. But she couldn’t bear to say such things to her daughter.

Although it is delusional, but … what if?

“What’s wrong with you?” Gu Rujiu wiped Jin Yang’s blushing face with a dampened veil. “How can it be like this?”

“Nothing, I just walked a little faster,” Jin Yang held her hand. “Don’t worry.”

Gu Rujiu glanced across his face, hesitating a moment and then said: “Did someone make you a concubine?”

It has been known for a long time, and it can be seen that this matter has already started. Jin Yang took her into her arms and said firmly: “The promises I made to you will definitely be made.”

Gu Rujiu put his hand on his chest and said nothing.

It is impossible for her to do such things as consoling her husband, Nafei.

On the night of the night, after the couple had a lot of water and milk, Gu Rujiu was lying on Jin Yang’s chest, and suddenly said: “Chen Jun, can you know what makes people speak awesome?”

Jin Yang caressed her tender and smooth back, wondering: “What do you mean?”

“I mean,” Gu Rujiu turned over and sat on his abdomen, brushing the hair beside his cheek behind his ear and smiling, “I just want to take a look at these adults when others say they are greedy , Is it possible to calm down. ”

Jin Yang froze at first, then laughed immediately, and even Gu Rujiu, who was sitting on him, shuddered.

“What do you want to do for a long time?”

“I won’t tell you,” Gu Rujiu leaned over and hummed. “Aren’t these people trying to insinuate me to be jealous? I’ll let them know what is true jealousy.”

One day later, the poems written by the servant Libe for the Geisha in Hualou spread to the ears of his wife. At the afternoon of the same day, his wife slammed the door of Hualou and beat the servant Libe with a swollen face and even looked up. No courage.

This is not the worst. The worst is that the Guozijian Jijiu is unclear with a female Taoist, and even makes people pregnant, so that the female Taoist came to the door, and the Guozijian Jijiu Madam, with her father and brother, smashed The door of the husband ’s family even took the child ’s dowry to prepare for Huban and Lishu.

There were also several civil servants * who were arrested, playing ambiguously with their brothers and wives, or even unclear with their father ’s concubines. lively.

So some people said, no wonder these civil servants made trouble for the emperor to accept the concubine. It turned out that they had a guilty conscience and wanted to pull the emperor into the water. How can I know that the emperor’s heroic heroes, and his harmony with the queen, are not fooled by them at all.

As for the relationship between Yingming Shenwu and Bina Fei, the majority of Beijing residents said that this was not important at all.
