Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

In the blink of an eye five years have passed, and two drafts have been held in the palace. Except for the Jingyang Palace, which is used to arrange beautiful girls, the twelve palaces of the inner court are still empty, and the rest are almost full of people. Even the Baoqin Palace has entered two Xiao Changzai, who entered the draft at the beginning of this year.

As for Concubine Guang, although she was not as miserable as being promoted from a cinnabar mole to a mosquito blood, but her position has shifted, and the cinnabar mole on His Majesty's heart has grown on her face, which is unsightly, and there may be a handful of black hairs on it. mole.

Because she offended many imperial physicians in the false pregnancy incident, especially the imperial physicians in gynecology, Concubine Guang had to drink bitter medicine soup for most of the time in these years. It was from the government that she was given contraceptive medicine.Ruicheng was 23 when he came to the throne, and now he is only in his early thirties for ten years in Guanghe. Naturally, he is not very happy to guard a concubine who cannot have children. Although she has not demoted her position, the number of times she has gone limited.

The emperor had four more sons, and was very happy, but there was still no news of the daughter, and even once at the Chinese New Year palace banquet, His Majesty made a promise that whoever gave birth to a daughter would give her a promotion, perhaps because he drank too much , Ruicheng said: "Up to two ranks!"

For a while, no one toasted the emperor, and everyone pinched their fingers to calculate where they could be promoted.This is a good time, and I put all my energy into hooking up with the emperor.

As for Ruicheng, he has been the emperor for ten years, the government affairs are smooth, and the ministers are still loyal, and there are no particularly bad events, such as earthquakes, droughts and floods. Generally speaking, the losses are within the controllable range. And beautiful, there is no more thorny head like Concubine Guang.So in the past five years, his waistline has grown a lot.

No one dared to joke with the emperor, otherwise someone would pat his stomach and say, "It's been five months."

The eldest prince Chong is ten years old, and he has already followed him to court.Since his seventh birthday, his fever problem has improved a lot. Shulan gradually felt relieved. The nuns and eunuchs of the North Fifth School have taken good care of them these years, and she will not go to the North Fifth School from time to time. .

It's just that His Majesty hasn't established a crown prince yet, which is quite worrying.

But no one dared to urge this. Although this is the foundation of the country, there is always a feeling in the subconscious that the emperor is about to finish playing, so everyone deliberately avoided this topic, and just praised their son in front of the emperor from time to time. Brothers and friends Brother Gong or something.

After all, Liu Guiren was promoted to concubine, but after Chongying had moved to the North Fifth Institute.The imperial decree said that Chongying was intelligent, so His Majesty rewarded the birth mother, but after all, Chongying was brought up with the piano, and the comparison between the two shows that the benefits of holding the piano are more.

Baoqin is already a concubine, Ruicheng thinks he is young and still in his prime, so naturally he doesn't want to establish a concubine so early, but Liu Guiren has been promoted to a level, so what about the adoptive mother who has made more contributions?

I also have to reward, and this time the rewards are for the family members.The titles of the two brothers of the Liang family have been raised by another level, which is also the result of their family's efforts.Liang Xiaobao was transferred back to the capital after serving as a governor in the south of the Yangtze River. He became a co-organizer, and then he became a cabinet scholar, which is equivalent to the position of the prime minister of some dynasties.

As for Liang Dafu, he still called this very blessed name. After serving as a bodyguard for five years, he went to the bodyguard mansion after being gilded.The emperor knew that he was strong, so he specially assigned him to be in charge of the training of new guards, and he could also give a blow to the new guards who relied on his father's fearlessness. Who knew that he was quite successful, and he had been doing this for four or five years.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival in the tenth year of Guanghe, Ruicheng was sitting in the imperial garden enjoying the breeze with his piano, and suddenly said, "Everyone says Jiangnan is good, and I want to go to the south for a tour."

Baoqin was taken aback for a moment, and felt that it was not a good thing to persuade the emperor to go on tour, not to mention wasting money, and he had to worry about whether someone would come to assassinate him along the way. If the emperor wanted to go on tour in disguise, he would worry even more , After all, my son has grown up and gone to school, and there is no cinnabar mole in the harem. Bai Yueguang came out. It's so sad. Although you have a lot of wives, big and small, can we live a good life. "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come up with this idea? The weather is hot now, and the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River is unbearable. Besides, if you drive together, don't do anything in the second half of the year."

Ruicheng was a little upset, "Shulan said the same thing."

The current Ruicheng doesn't want to be able to listen to the persuasion two years ago, so Baoqin remedied: "Although singing and dancing promote peace, the ancients also paid attention to sealing Mount Tai at this time, but this will be really hot. I heard from Xiaobao earlier However, in Jiangnan, once the Dragon Boat Festival is over, you will be covered in sweat if you don’t move. You have to see the scenery of Jiangnan and meet ministers. You are busy every day. Why don’t you wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival? The weather will be cooler then , and there are river crabs that can be eaten, so I will follow suit."

Ruicheng nodded, and said: "What you said is very reasonable. You go and come out with Shulan's entire list, and bring three or five people with you." Ruicheng pinched his fingers and calculated, "The guard of honor will pass by It takes a month, and we set off in mid-July, just in time to go to Jiangnan to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Thankfully, it's not a microservice!

After sending Ruicheng back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he hugged the piano and looked at the sky. It was only Youshi, and there was still some time before the key was released from the palace gate, so he abducted to Kunning Palace again.

Shulan just drank the bird's nest porridge at night, when she saw Baoqin coming, Huiyan smiled first, "Your Majesty really knows how to catch up with the meal, the new blood swallows in the House of Internal Affairs, and the new lotus seeds this year, this is the first time You will come after eating."

"Then hurry up and fill a bowl."

Baoqin sat down beside Shulan, and said, "Your Majesty said you want to tour the south?"

Shulan put down the bowl and sighed, "I don't know who instigated it, but if he says a word, the subordinates will have to run away."

"Then what should we do?" Baoqin took a sip of the bird's nest porridge, and said, "He told me that there will be no waiting for three or five people, and asked me to ask you to draw up the list, saying that we will go on tour in mid-July."

"Every time it's time to eat, these bad things happen." Shulan pushed the bowl aside and said, "I can't do without you, you have to follow."

Baoqin stretched out a finger, "This is the first one. Concubine Gao is from the south of the Yangtze River, and she has won the sixth prince. I can also give her a favor."

Shulan nodded, "In addition to the two new Changzai who entered the palace this year, Li Changzai from your palace will do. It seems safe and secure, and Xie Changzai from Chuxiu Palace, His Majesty likes it very much. , four." Shulan thought for a while, "It's not impossible to make up five."

"Don't, leave it to the emperor to choose the last one. Let's say we picked four. If you see anything else you like, bring another one." Baoqin said.

Even if this matter is finalized, Baoqin drank the bird's nest porridge in the bowl and said: "I'll go and see the Chonghao. When I go out, my son will be entrusted to you to take care of."

There are a total of five courtyards in the fifth north house, the eldest prince occupies the head house, and Chong lives in the fourth house.As soon as Baoqin entered, he saw Chonghao writing in front of the desk with teary eyes.

"What's the matter?" Baoqin immediately hugged his son in his arms, saying that if you don't spoil your child, you will be like a cloud in front of your son, "Did the master punish you for your homework?" My son is still young, and he can't do anything. It should be, don't let your son have a psychological burden.

Chonghao didn't speak, and after struggling twice in Baoqin's arms to no avail, he said: "I can't write."

Holding the piano and looking at the table, he smiled unkindly.

There are two big words in front: Chonghao.But when her son came out, it looked like two balls of ink that were accidentally dripped on it.After Baoqin laughed enough, he hugged his son who started to wipe his tears again, "Don't be afraid, your eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother couldn't write at the beginning. Hurry up and find your elder brother tomorrow, you two have similar names, let him I'll teach you how to write." By the way, get on good terms with him.

Chonghao nodded, humming a little.

Baoqin looked at the ink balls full of paper again, and couldn't help laughing again.
