Family Has a Concubine

See the emperor. Chu Yunpan quickly knelt down and saluted. Emperor Zhengxuan raised his head, only to see a slender and tall figure approaching, the gorgeous eyebrows carried a stern aura, for some reason, Emperor Zhengxuan felt a sense of fear in a daze.

But in the next second, Emperor Zhengxuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: You are here, please get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Chu Yunpan nodded, I don't know what is the important matter of the Emperor's summoning of my ministers.

Emperor Zhengxuan chuckled: Nothing, I am reviewing the memorial today, and suddenly remembered last year, when you won the first prize, I often asked you to be a consultant.

Chu Yunpan smiled lightly: Yes.

Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't help taking a look at him, remembering that the young champion Lang was unparalleled in handsomeness, as elegant and lonely as a bamboo, with a youthful sharpness all over his body. At that time, he thought that under the polishing of the court, this young man would slowly become warm and sculpted into a beautiful jade that is unparalleled in the prosperous age.

Unexpectedly, a year later, the young man would be sharpened like a sold-out sword, as handsome and bright as ever, but his eyes were shrunk down to be cold and gloomy, as heavy as iron and as cold as ice. Frowning eyebrows and smiling, the wind is surging, and the geese are falling on the sand. An undeniably graceful aura.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Chu Yunpan like this, but he was in a trance. For some reason, he always thought of Sister Xiao when he saw him! Thinking of the arrogance she rode her horse to! But in the end, she returned to the beautifully embroidered long-sleeved dress in the harem, which took away the light of her life.

Chu Yunpan, on the other hand, seems to be the exact opposite. She has changed from being a learned scholar to being flamboyant and unrestrained, much like her initial appearance.

Every time at this time, Emperor Zhengxuan would feel that Chu Yunpan was the reincarnation of Yunxia, ​​and only in this way could his heart be comforted and forgiven.

It's the same now, Emperor Zhengxuan sighed slightly, and said with a smile: I don't know why, from the first time I saw you, I felt close to you. I used to like you to read the Book of Filial Piety or to be my advisor. Later, you became an indomitable person. General, I am very pleased to have relieved my greatest worry, but I seem to miss you at that time even more.

My minister can also read Book of Filial Piety for me now. Chu Yunpan said.

Emperor Zhengxuan was startled, then he laughed: Okay, go and get it!

Chu Yunpan took out the Book of Filial Piety from the bookshelf and read it softly next to Emperor Zhengxuan.

After reading the Book of Filial Piety a few times, it was already dark, but Emperor Zhengxuan was still crouching on the desk to review the memorial. Chu Yunpan said: The emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, but the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness, please take care of your body.

Displeasure flashed across Emperor Zhengxuan's wrinkled face, and his heart was full of helplessness and irritability.

Since he died once, he cherished the throne even more. But things didn't work out, he had been ill for a few days, and all those courtiers looked like he was about to die, as if they were going to die for him and serve the new master.

Now that Chu Yunpan mentioned that he was ill again, and advised him to cherish his body, Emperor Zhengxuan was inevitably ashamed. He just chuckled: I'm fine! I remember that the emperor's grandfather couldn't sleep well for a few days and nights due to a severe drought at his age, and it's just a little recuperation.

Chu Yunpan nodded: The emperor is very right, Gao Zu is in good health. But the emperor has just recovered from a serious illness. After recuperating, it will not be too late to work diligently. By then, he will be as fierce as Gao Zu. He said with a light smile , Maybe I can still be like the great ancestor, who can recruit beautiful girls after a few years, and finally give birth to two princesses in succession.

Draft? Wake up to have a baby? When Emperor Zhengxuan heard this, his heart became a little warm.

It's getting late, you should go back first. Emperor Zhengxuan said.

Weichen resigns. Chu Yunpan said, and withdrew.

After he went out, Cai Jie walked in, saw Emperor Zhengxuan sitting there in a daze, and said, Your Majesty, why are you in a daze? He smiled.

Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned, and came back to his senses in an instant: Hehe, it's all right. As he spoke, he put together the memorial in his hands.

Seeing that he stopped writing, Cai Jie breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that during this period, Emperor Xuan was reviewing the rhythm every day until late at night in order to show that he was in good health.

Go back. Emperor Zhengxuan left the imperial study.

After returning to the palace for dinner, Emperor Zhengxuan asked Cai Jie to recruit Luo Yizheng.

Doctor Luo was checking the pulse of Emperor Zhengxuan, and sighed slightly: The emperor must pay attention to recuperation, and it is best to let go of the court affairs first.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face turned red, he thought for a while and said, Yizheng, can I have another child?

Doctor Luo's old face froze, this old man is not ashamed! But his eyes flashed, and he said: This... there was no hope before, but in the past few years, my minister has developed a lot of new prescriptions. If the emperor takes good care of it, there is still hope.

When Emperor Zhengxuan heard this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up: Really?

Yes! Dr. Luo is grinning, but the premise is to take care of yourself first. It's not okay to stay up late like these days.

Emperor Zhengxuan became more eager when he heard it, and nodded quickly: Then doctor Zheng will take good care of me! You step down first.

Doctor Luo was about to speak but stopped, but finally bowed and agreed: Yes.

Luo Yizheng turned around and left, Emperor Zhengxuan thought about Luo Yizheng's hesitant appearance just now, no need to think, Yizheng must be trying to persuade him that it is unnecessary, but Emperor Zhengxuan was determined.

Cai Jie was so startled that his whole body was stiff, and then he came back to his senses: Your Majesty...why do you force yourself...

Emperor Zhengxuan was furious, and glared at him: How can I be reluctant? Didn't you just listen to the doctor's words, as long as you take good care of yourself, you will have it? Since you can recover from it, then it is not forced.

The corner of Cai Jie's mouth twitched, but he soon understood what Emperor Zhengxuan was thinking.

Last time, because of Princess Gelan's matter, the courtiers knelt outside the bedroom and forced Emperor Zhengxuan to govern Princess Gelan. This made Emperor Zhengxuan feel that these courtiers began to disobey him because he was weak!

Therefore, Emperor Zhengxuan tried his best to approve the memorials and stayed up all night, in order to prove that he was in good health.

But the effect doesn't seem to be obvious, after all, it's inevitable that you will look haggard after suffering like this.

Today, Emperor Zhengxuan was inspired by something, and even said that he was going to have a baby! To prove that I'm okay!

Hey, your majesty is wise, this method is feasible. Cai Jie said.

The master and servant have been together for decades, and with just one look from Cai Jie, Emperor Zhengxuan knew that Cai Jie understood what he meant, and nodded: Even if there is no child, as long as the draft...

Then the emperor will be able to show off his glory! Cai Jie smiled ambiguously, Speaking of which, the palace has not drafted talent for more than ten years, and it's time to pour fresh blood into this stagnant palace.

When Emperor Zhengxuan heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter. It was originally just a trick, but what Cai Jie said was the truth, and his eyes couldn't help but yearn.

Since more than ten years ago, his health has been deteriorating, and he...has lost interest in that for a long time, even if he acts reluctantly, it is not satisfactory, so he simply never set foot in the harem again.

Doctor Luo just said that there is a newly developed prescription, and then he will regain his glory!

If you can't regain your glory, you can also choose a few beautiful and beautiful women. Even if you can't act, as long as you pass by late at night, it looks like you are the only favorite, and the dignity of a man can be established.

Early the next morning, the courtiers stood on top of the main hall.

After discussing with the courtiers, Emperor Zhengxuan couldn't wait to let the court go down.

The courtiers withdrew from the hall like a tide, and all departments returned to their offices.

Lu Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the two servants above it returned to the office, stepped in, and saw Cai Jie walking in behind.

When Lu Zhi and the others saw Cai Jie, they quickly stepped forward with a smile: Hey, why is the father-in-law here at this time? Shouldn't he be waiting in the imperial study? Could it be that the emperor gave the father-in-law a leave to let him have a leisurely time.

Lu Zhi laughed and joked a few words.

Cai Jie laughed: I am not as good as your etiquette department in leisure.

Lu Zhi hurriedly said: Grandpa, what are you talking about, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, we have a lot of things to do!

That's right, that's right, there are so many things you have to be busy with! Cai Jie said, Next, you can't even be free if you want to.

As soon as Lu Zhi and the others heard this, they knew that Cai Jie was going to hand in a task, so they hurriedly said, Your father-in-law has any task, just tell me.

March is coming soon, and March is so beautiful! Cai Jie said with a smile.

Lu Zhi and the others looked at each other, March? Is there any celebration or important festival in March?

It seems that there is only the palace test, but last year, the spring test was held every three years, so it is impossible to come again soon?

Cai Jie didn't hold back, and said with a smile, It's been years since I've been drafted for skill, so let's take advantage of the good weather in March, and let the Ministry of Rites make preparations.

Oh, yes, yes! Lu Zhi kept nodding, and then his face froze, Draft?

Yes! Cai Jie nodded.

For the emperor? Lu Zhi was even more surprised.

Cai Jie rolled his eyes at him: Who else could it be?

Lu Zhi coughed dryly: My father-in-law is right. But, is this draft a first-class pick or a second-class pick?

This first-class selection is to only choose noble girls from the capital and the state capitals!

The second-class election, that is, women of the right age, whether they are officials, wealthy businessmen or ordinary people, can participate as long as they are from innocent backgrounds.

Cai Jie said: Second class is fine.

Yes. Lu Zhi quickly agreed.

Shang Shu is busy with his work, and the servant will leave first. After speaking, Cai Jie turned and left.

The three of Lv Zhi looked at each other in the direction of his departure, and the servant on the right said in surprise: The emperor actually wants to draft? It has been more than ten years since there was a draft, and...

It has also been many years since I have set foot in the harem! But because Emperor Zhengxuan was full of children and grandchildren, the ministers didn't care about him.

How could I have thought that now there is going to be a draft!

Since the emperor wants to draft, let's go back and do it! Lu Zhi coughed dryly, Go back! I have to work.

After Lu Zhi returned, he issued draft documents to the state capitals.

Fengyi Palace——

There is a small garden across Fengyi Palace. Empress Zheng is a flower lover, so she planted all kinds of flowers in it, all of which she took care of herself.

Empress Zheng and the prince sat face to face at a round stone table, surrounded by brilliant spring flowers and a gentle breeze.

Empress Zheng poured a cup of tea for the prince herself, and said with a smile, This is the scented tea that I personally dried, please pay me back.

The prince looked gloomy, picked it up and took a sip, but still frowning.

How well paid? Queen Zheng said.

The prince frowned, and said lightly: It's okay.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly ran in: Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Empress Zheng turned her head and saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she said, What's wrong?

Go back to Madam, over there, Eunuch Cai came over and said that the emperor is preparing for the draft.

said the little eunuch.

What did you say? Empress Zheng and the prince were both stunned. What to choose?

Draft!

Empress Zheng and the crown prince gave up immediately, and Empress Zheng's eyes widened. As Emperor Zhengxuan's woman, no one knew better than them whether Emperor Zhengxuan could do it or not.

Emperor Zhengxuan has not been lucky enough to have a concubine for more than ten years, and now he suddenly says he wants to be drafted?

Emperor Zheng was silent for a moment before smiling and said: Okay, I know.

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.

The prince's already gloomy face suddenly became darker, the draft? How old is he and is he still in the draft? Did he really think he could live for another few decades?

Empress Zheng was also a little angry, she would eat a little of the old vinegar, and he must have been too noisy recently.

What's the matter, father? The prince's face was ashen.

Empress Zheng said with a smile: It's always like this when people get old. They always think about how to get back the feeling of youth.

The prince said coldly: Father's business is really increasing! He is obviously not in good health. He was sick some time ago. He didn't take good care of him, and he was drafted.

Empress Zheng's expression changed when she heard the prince's tone, and she said coldly, Ganer, what are you talking about?

The prince was still gloomy in a refined manner. Empress Zheng looked around and saw that there was no one, so she said with a sullen face: Ganer, our mother and son are speaking from the bottom of our hearts. I know you are impatient now, but why not? But every step we take It's safe and secure, as long as you wait a little longer, you can make a big deal, why take risks?

The prince said, I don't want to wait another twenty or thirty years.

Empress Zheng said: What twenty or thirty years? You just said that he insisted on being diligent and caring for the people even though he was seriously ill. That was nothing more than a bluff. His health has long since failed. He has been working for decades. Good father, you will also be the last good son! The final and logical handover, the whole family story, isn't it beautiful.

The prince said: He is going to be drafted, maybe his health is really getting better and better.

Impossible. Empress Zheng lowered her voice, I have inquired with Imperial Physician Li, etc., the emperor is just trying to hold on, so please wait! In fact, she was also anxious, but the more anxious she was, the less she could make mistakes.

The prince frowned slightly: Now his body has been handed over to Luo Yizheng.

Empress Zheng hehe: Your father trusts Luo Yizheng very much, and the two of them have a sincere friendship! So, do you think Luo Yizheng will not help your father to hide it?

The prince was surprised.

In the last serious illness, he had already injured Ben Yuan, and it could be a year or two at the earliest, and only three or five years at the slowest. Empress Zheng said.

The prince's expression softened a little.

Empress Zheng sighed slightly, it is only natural for him to be impetuous in this situation, now he can only slowly persuade him and relieve him.

The prince was in a depressed mood, and said lightly: The minister there will take his leave first.

Okay, you go! Empress Zheng smiled slightly, By the way, side concubine Chu is pregnant, so you can spend more time with her. After all, if it's a boy, it will be your first son. Wait until Chu Miaoshu is born , then immediately canonize her as the crown princess.

Yes. The prince turned around and strode away.

After the prince left, Empress Zheng went to Zhengxuan Emperor.

Emperor Zhengxuan was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and when he raised his head, he saw Empress Zheng walking in with a smile on her face. Emperor Zhengxuan said, Why is the queen here?

Empress Zheng smiled and said: Cai Jie came and said that the emperor is going to draft a talent show, and there has been no newcomers in the palace for a long time. Now newcomers will be added to the palace immediately, and fresh blood will be injected. The concubine is very happy!

Emperor Zhengxuan was stunned, originally he said he had to choose, but he was afraid of those ministers yelling that he was spoiling young girls, he was not ashamed. I was also afraid that the empress would come over crying to persuade and make trouble, but I never expected that Empress Zheng did come, but it was not crying, but to approve and rejoice.

Emperor Zhengxuan got the support, the sooner he was proud, he felt that he had done a good job: The queen is really different from others, she is generous and virtuous, and I am very relieved.

Empress Zheng smiled and said: The most gratifying thing for my concubine is that the emperor's health is getting better and better.

Emperor Zhengxuan's heart warmed slightly, he put down the memorial in his hand, then walked down, took her hand, and said with a smile: I haven't been with the queen for a long time, let's go, let's go for a walk in the garden together.

Yes. Empress Zheng smiled and nodded.

...

The prince left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.

The whole Miaoyanju was buzzing about this matter.

The Chu family, some friends of Chu Miaoshu, and the noble ladies that Chu Miaoshu had befriended after becoming a side concubine all came to see her, congratulate her and give her presents.

The spring breeze is good today, it is warm, and it looks like spring flowers are blooming.

Chu Miaoshu couldn't get bored in the room, and there were so many people coming, if they all crowded her room, it would not look grand enough.

The best garden in the Prince's Mansion is the Lijing Garden, but the last time Chu Miaoshu held a flower feast in the Lijing Garden, the prince slapped him in the face.

Chu Miaoshu couldn't help but respond to Lijing Garden, so he asked someone to change the garden. The scenery is not as good as Lijing Garden, but it is also lush and elegant.

Chu Miaoshu and Qin Shi were sitting together in the gazebo, a group of noble ladies were chattering around her, giving presents and congratulating her.

But Chu Miaoshu couldn't feel complacent, he just laughed.

Just as he was talking, an unknown woman outside called out: Madam Zhenxihou is here.

Upon hearing this, the noble ladies and noble ladies sitting there immediately chirped: Hey, Mrs. Zhenxihou is here! A group of people greeted them with smiles.

Chu Miaoshu's face darkened, but she sat there motionless.

always like this!

This happens every time!

Chu Miaoshu has been used to it for a long time, but sure enough, every time it happened, that kind of hatred and jealousy kept piling up in his heart, suppressing his anger and anger into hatred, the accumulation became deeper and deeper, the more calm he became, the more depressed he became. swell.

Qin's face was also slightly sullen and silent, after experiencing so many things, she became more and more forbearing.

Surrounded by the crowd, I saw Ye Tangcai walking towards her. She was dressed in a gorgeous dress with water-red gold thread hooked with begonia flowers, and on her head was a dazzling ruby ​​broken gold budao. Although she was nearly six months pregnant, she had no body except her belly. Where it was deformed, that face became more and more beautiful, gorgeous and sassy, ​​with a coquettish smile.

Ye Tangcai walked over and giggled: Mother, eldest sister.

Mrs. Qin heheed twice, she didn't even have the strength to ridicule, she just said lightly: You're here.

Yes. Ye Tangcai was about to sit down.

The lady at the side smiled and said, Use this cushion of mine, it's warm and comfortable.

Ye Tang said politely: Madam Xie Luo, it's warm today, no mat.

Mrs. Luo smiled mischievously: How many months has Young Madam been?

Almost six months. Ye Tangcai said.

The ladies around quickly smiled and said, Then let's prepare gifts!

A group of people were discussing which jewelry store had the best baby jewelry.

Mrs. Luo said: The hairpin on Young Madam's head is really pretty.

Ye Tangcai said, It was given by the emperor on my last birthday.

Oh, no wonder it looks so noble, it's different from other jewelry, it turned out to be a gift from the emperor!

Ye Tangcai smiled lightly: Yes!

Chu Miaoshu and Qin Shi only felt that Ye Tangcai's smug smile hit their hearts deeply, a kind of aggrieved and uncomfortable feeling.

Chu Miaoshu was so angry that she couldn't speak anymore, she just sat aside and sneered, holding the hands on her lap tightly.

Soon it was noon, Chu Miaoshu hurriedly asked someone to prepare a meal, and everyone left after eating.

Qin ordered Chu Miaohua to go back first, and stayed in Miaoyanxuan to talk to Chu Miaoshu. It was nothing more than Ye Tangcai just now. The mother and daughter had to sit together and scold Ye Tangcai severely, otherwise they would hold back in their hearts. Not being able to vent is really uncomfortable.

Chu Miaoshu said: It's just her birthday, yet she was given so many presents! I'm pregnant, and the first time it was announced, he only gave me a few rumples and silver ornaments. Immortal things!

The Qin family also hated it very much. Now it is obvious that Emperor Xiaxuan has become the big backer of Chu Yunpan and Ye Tangcai. The reason why these two people are so prosperous now is because of their immortality.

Sister Shu, what about the plan you told me before? Qin said.

Chu Miaoshu glared at her: It's not that you blocked my plan! It's all because you let that poisonous woman in and so many things happened, which made my plan aborted.

Qin's face froze for a moment. At that time, she was thinking that if Princess Gelan's promise was fulfilled, it would be fine if Chu Miaoshu was not in a hurry to become a queen. Being a princess is also a glorious thing, as long as Ye Tangcai and Ye Tangcai can be stepped on. Under the feet, the result...

Chu Miaoshu squeezed her hands tightly, she had to think of a way! Otherwise, when will this matter come to an end!

But since the incident with Princess Glenn, the crown prince has not treated her as well as before. Sometimes, when the attitude and atmosphere change, it becomes difficult to talk about things! The so-called opportunity is not to be missed, time never comes, that is what it means.

Chu Miaoshu was anxiously looking for an excuse to persuade the prince to rebel and seize the throne, but unexpectedly, early the next morning, a perfect excuse and raft appeared perfectly!

Due to the toss and turns of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the preparation of documents, and the issuance of various state capitals, etc., the entire palace suddenly knew that Emperor Zhengxuan was going to be drafted, and it naturally spread outside the palace.

The common people had another good conversation.

Some secretly said that Emperor Zhengxuan was old and not ashamed, and that he harmed young girls.

But more people said: He is the emperor, he wants to draft, and most of the girls are willing. The emperor is happy, the girl is willing, what's the matter.

The emperor hasn't drafted for many years, but the sudden draft proves that the emperor is in good health.

There are still three chapters, because the writing is now updated, it will be later! Meow meow, \u003e﹏\u003c. It's been a busy time, so I haven't had time to reply to comments, but I'm still here, love you guys.
