The rise of the poor

Chapter 849
Near noon, the sun was hot.

There is a thin milk fragrance coming from the Zhaoyang Palace bedroom, and one sip makes one's bones weak and heart rippling.

Along with the aroma of milk, there is also the sound of rushing water.

Two young eunuchs carried a large bucket of steaming hot water and walked towards the bedroom of Zhaoyang Palace. After entering the bedroom, the two of them lowered their heads so that only the toes could be seen, and their eyes were only on the feet under their feet. Inch by inch, carry the hot water and walk in.

"Auntie, here comes the hot water."

After the two young eunuchs carried them to the door of the bathroom, they put down the bucket, looked down at their toes, and reported back to the maid inside to pick up the water.

A matter of life.

If they see something they shouldn't see, their lives will be lost.

There are strict rules in the palace.

Their little eunuchs can only do rough, tiring, and dirty work, and they are not qualified to approach the mistress of the harem at all. Those who are qualified to approach the mistress of the harem are all eunuchs who are of a certain age and have a certain status.

Of course, even the chief eunuch is not doing close service.

For example, changing clothes and sleeping, bathing and purifying, and serving the bed at night are all close service tasks that are only qualified to be performed by personal maids.

The eunuch is also half a man, if he does these jobs, he is not far from death.

The emperor doesn't have such a big stomach.

As for the eunuchs serving the concubine to bathe and change clothes in the unofficial history, or even more voluptuous stories, they are all nonsense from people who don't understand the rules of the palace.

Inside the bathroom is a large pool in the shape of petals. On the edge of the pool are three court ladies wrapped in light gauze, holding flower baskets, sprinkling some petals and essence into the pool from time to time. Inside the pool is milky white bath soup.

Outside the pool, a court lady was playing the piano, and the soothing and melodious sound of the piano echoed in the bathroom.
Concubine Lu Jing, with long legs and hips, was sitting in the bath bath, and the water line of the bath bath was just in the position of Concubine Lu Jing's armpits.

Concubine Lu Jing's figure is very predictable, half a perfect circle floats on the water, drifting with the tide
The two maids, who only wore inch-length strands, personally served Concubine Lu Jing's bath, with skillful techniques, slow movements, orderly and silent
The bath soup in the bath was not ordinary milk, but human milk specially sent to the palace by Concubine Lu Jing's natal family, which was offered to the palace on time every week.

For this reason, Concubine Lu Jing's natal family specially hired more than ten young, beautiful and healthy nurses as fresh milk sources.

This is the face-retaining prescription that Concubine Lu Jing asked for from the imperial physician with a lot of money. It is said that it has the effect of maintaining youthful appearance, nourishing the body, making the skin smooth and elastic, and can also make the body firmer and maintain youthful vitality.

"Did you find out the matter clearly?"

After hearing the young eunuch's report, the three maids opened the curtain and came out. The leading lady looked at the two young eunuchs and asked.

"I have inquired clearly. Eunuch Liu from the lecture office just came to pass on the words in person, and he said yes."

One of the little eunuchs stepped forward and said, and told the grand lady in a low voice what Eunuch Liu had passed on.

"Well, this is the master's reward for you, so go do your own work. Just remember one thing, keep your mouths under control. If you hear any gossip outside, don't blame me for not reminding you."

After listening carefully, the palace lady took two golden nudes from her sleeves, gave them to the two young eunuchs, and sent them out after a few instructions.

"Don't worry, aunt, the monkeys will save you." The two young eunuchs promised repeatedly, turned and left with their heads down.

The eldest maid walked into the bathroom first, and the other two maids lifted the bucket with difficulty, and followed into the bathroom unsteadily.

"My lady."

After the grand lady came in, except for her clothes, she walked into the bath, ready to report the situation while serving Concubine Lu Jing to take a bath.

"Hehe. What's going on in front?"

Concubine Lu Jing squinted her eyes, pressed her small hands on the bottom of the pool, splashed the water twice with her little feet, and asked with a giggle.

"Your Majesty, besides the two attendants from His Royal Highness King Jing's mansion, Mrs. Gao from His Highness King Yu's mansion, and Mrs. Liu Boqing from Honglu Temple." The maid gently wiped Concubine Lu Jing's body. , while whispering back.

"Well, Mr. Liu is also here. He is well-known in the government and the public. On the list that my father made for me, Mr. Liu is at the top. It's a pity that he is too cautious and dare not stand in line. Neither of them can offend." Lu Jing The concubine opened her eyes.

"This time Mr. Liu also praised His Royal Highness King Jing, but not King Yu." The lady-in-waiting added.

"Hehe, my emperor's son is naturally good." Concubine Lu Jing giggled.

"In addition to Mr. Liu, Yang Guoliang, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial College, is also giving lectures today." The maid continued.

"Well, I have heard of Yang Guoliang, and the Holy Majesty even praised him, and listed his books as reference books for the imperial examination. On the list given to me by my father, this person is even higher than Mr. Liu. , said that he is someone who can carry the Four Books and Five Classics ten years later, oh, by the way, I heard that this man’s daughter married a nephew of Yan Song as a concubine." Concubine Lu Jing turned over and lay on the lap of a court lady. , Let the maid wipe the back.

"In addition to Dr. Yang, there is also a little adult named Zhu Ping'an who is giving lectures today. I heard that he is young." Apply evenly on Concubine Lu Jing's back.

"Zhu Ping'an, I know that he is this year's Enke No. [-] Scholar. He doesn't seem to be older than the emperor's son. He has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well. He is too young. In addition, the reputation has not been good recently, and he was fined by the emperor. , I heard that it has become a joke in the government and the public to fiddle with pigs into the water outside. Although this person is also on the list that my father made for me, but the ranking is much lower. This person is not a lecturer. It's a good choice for an official, and he doesn't have the integrity of a scholar at all, and he will bring the emperor down." Concubine Lu Jing shook her head lightly.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Yang and Zhu Ping'an are the main lecturers today," the palace maid replied.

"Oh, what did you talk about?" Concubine Lu Jing asked with interest.

"They are all talking about the first chapter of "The Book of Songs", "Guanju"." The palace lady said softly.

"What did they all say?"

Concubine Lu Jing is more interested. In the Book of Songs, her favorite is "Guan Ju", because it was the first time that Concubine Lu Jing went to bed with Emperor Jiajing, and when his belt was wide, Emperor Jiajing said "Guan Ju" "A sentence in it.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

That's it.

Concubine Lu Jing still remembered the scene at that time, and she seemed to be able to hear Emperor Jiajing's magnetic voice.

"Dr. Yang talked about "Guanju", saying that "Guanju" is full of "the style of the king, the virtue of the concubine", saying that the gentleman is the king of Zhou Wen, and the lady is the queen of Zhou, and that King Wen of Zhou wants to find a queen with virtue. Help him govern the country and the world together." The grand maid followed the little eunuch's description and repeated it to Concubine Lu Jing.

"The style of a king, the virtue of a concubine?"

Concubine Lu Jing's eyes lit up when she heard it, as if an electric current passed through her body, she felt refreshed.

"Hehe. Dr. Yang's speech is really good." Concubine Lu Jing said with a giggle, agreeing with Dr. Yang's theory of Guan Ju.

"But ma'am, I heard that Dr. Yang was questioned by Zhu Ping'an." The palace lady said boldly.

"Oh, what did Zhu Pingan say?" Concubine Lu Jing was more interested. Is Zhu Pingan's speech better than Dr. Yang's?

"Zhu Ping'an said that Guanju is a folk ballad about love between men and women, and even said it was a blind date." The palace lady replied.

"He's talking nonsense!"

When Concubine Lu Jing heard this, her charming face darkened, and she shouted excitedly.

"That's right, the slaves also think he's talking nonsense. What he said is so vulgar. How can there be Dr. Yang's 'style of a king, virtue of a concubine'. But, Xiao Liangzi said, Dr. Yang was stopped by Zhu Ping'an." The big palace lady hastily followed suit.

"Oh, yes, Zhu Ping'an is eloquent and good at sophistry. He wrote the "Thick Black Studies" that I showed you. Dr. Yang, who is an honest scholar, can't argue with him. It makes sense." Concubine Lu Jing thought of "Thick Black Studies", her face was relieved, she shook her head slightly and smiled.

"Thick Black Studies" was seen by Concubine Lu Jing from Emperor Jiajing when she was in bed last month. It is said that it was presented by the factory guard from the Imperial Academy.

Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded "Misunderstanding my son" while watching. Concubine Lu Jing memorized the name out of curiosity, and asked people to collect it for viewing.

Sure enough

Full of absurdity.

Shameless, selfish, cunning and deceitful.
They are all heresy and fallacies that mislead people's children.

"No, I want to go to the Holy Majesty. Today, the Holy Majesty is clearly giving lectures, but he is actually giving lectures to the emperor's selection of servants. Mr. Zhang and the others are lecturers themselves. Liu Boqing has written the papers for his appointment in the morning, so all that is left is Yang Guoliang and Zhu Ping'an are two people, I can't let the surname Du take the lead. Hurry up, change my clothes."

Thinking of this, Concubine Lu Jing hurriedly got up and ordered the maid to change her clothes.
