Daming Wuhou
Chapter 118
It was January, and the winter snow had just melted.
Zhu Xi and his party had a huge team, and they traveled all the way. Because the momentum was too scary, no one dared to provoke them.
As soon as we entered Xi'an, the snow had already melted.
It's just that after the snow melts, it's the coldest.Lu Changting huddled in the carriage, holding a hand stove, wrapped in a thick velvet cloak, with white fluffy hair around the edge of the cloak, guarding Lu Changting's face, it was really pretty.
It's like a snow god walking out of the ice and snow.
The carriage had been going for an unknown amount of time, Lu Changting couldn't help but yawned sleepily, and when he was hesitating whether to sleep again, he heard the voice outside: "Master, the city is ahead."
Lu Changting heaved a sigh of relief, sat up straight quickly, raised his hand and opened the car door to look out, sure enough, he could vaguely see the outline of the city.
In just a short while, the carriage approached the city gate, and the soldiers outside the city gate were checking the passing pedestrians and carriages.
King Qin's chariot was naturally different, and the soldier recognized it at a glance, so he hurried forward to meet the chariot, and the common people also opened the way spontaneously, and the chariot easily entered the gate.After entering the city gate, the voice next to Lu Changting's ears suddenly became noisy.It's like stepping from one space to another in time.
Zhu Xi said with a smile: "Anyway, this was once the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is still prosperous even today."
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was here.
Lu Changting also traveled to Shaanxi in his previous life, so he didn't find it unusual.
Xi'an used to be the capital of many dynasties, including the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties...all established their capitals here.There are countless emperors sleeping here, and it is even called the Eastern Valley of Kings in later generations.At that time, Lu Changting was full of longing for Xi'an because of this name.I don't know what is the difference between Xi'an a hundred years ago and a hundred years later.
Because Xi'an was no longer the capital city at this time, naturally, many buildings in the city followed the predecessors, and there were really few changes.
The bustling sound of the carriage along the way came to the outside of King Qin's mansion. At this time, there was basically no sound. After all, no one was allowed to approach the mansion.
The people in the Qin.Wang.Mansion should have gotten the news in advance, so they waited outside the gate of the mansion early.As soon as the door of the carriage was opened, a man dressed as a eunuch stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master!"
It was Lu Changting who pushed the door of the car. He poked his head out, blinked, and jumped down first.The eunuch was startled by him, and hurriedly raised his head to look at him, seeing that it was not his prince, he became even more panicked, and hurriedly continued to look into the carriage.
Zhu Xi in the carriage was no longer as casual as he was in front of Lu Changting, now he raised his bearing, and he was more like a prince.
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Xi, and said: "The hot water and food are all ready, please, master."
Zhu Xi nodded and walked down, but didn't move immediately.
"How does Changting look at this Prince Qin's mansion?" Zhu Xi asked.
Lu Changting followed his advice and really looked up.Zhu Xi is worthy of being favored by Emperor Hongwu. Although Emperor Hongwu asked his sons to be frugal, his son went to the fiefdom. Emperor Hongwu didn't want to treat his son badly, so he ordered people to build such a mansion.
In comparison, Yanwang Mansion in Beiping looks much shabby.
This Qin.Wang.Mansion is a shrunken imperial palace. In front of him is a tall city wall surrounded on all sides. The tower is covered with blue glazed tiles. If he remembers correctly, there should be a gate on all four sides. Copper nails painted with lacquer gold.The main gates of these four cities are called Duanli in the south, Guangzhi in the north, Tiren in the east, and Zunyi in the west.The scale of the end is grand and majestic, covering an area of nearly [-] mu.
Now they are in front of Guangzhi Gate.
This is really a majestic spectacle that will never be seen in later generations!
Lu Changting couldn't help thinking of another prince, Prince Jingjiang.It is rumored that his palace is the most grand, and it took 20 years to build it. The palace is surrounded by a three-mile-long Chengheng, built with square bluestone inside and outside, which is very strong.Jingjiang Palace is also the best-preserved Ming Dynasty palace in later generations.
"How?" Seeing that Lu Changting remained silent for a long time, Zhu Xi became a little nervous instead.
The eunuch next to him looked at Lu Changting more carefully, and secretly guessed in his heart who this person was, that he could be treated so carefully by His Royal Highness King Qin.
Lu Changting closed his eyes and said, "Qin.Wang.Mansion should be built by Fengshui masters, right? How can we find the wrong place?"
"How does it compare to Lao Si's mansion?"
Lu Changting silently recalled the appearance of King Yan's Mansion. If it was placed together with King Qin's Mansion, then one would probably be for the native land and the other for Bai Fumei.
But Lu Changting wouldn't say that, he just nodded lightly: "That's right."
Zhu Xing knew that he would not say anything bad about the fourth child, so he curled his lips immediately, but didn't ask any more questions.
"Going in in a carriage? Or?"
"Let's go." Although Lu Changting was very calm, he really wanted to take a good look at the prince's residence hundreds of years ago.
"Okay." Zhu Xi immediately walked in with Lu Changting.
The group of people who followed had a bitter face, so they had to hurry up.
After entering the main entrance, there are three groups of main halls with a base height of six feet nine inches.The more Lu Changting looked at it, the more he felt that Yan Wang's Mansion was too shabby... When he supervised the construction, Emperor Hongwu probably didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Zhu Xi raised his finger and said, "This is the Chengyun Hall, the Yuan Hall and the Cunxin Hall."
"Want to go in and take a look?" Zhu Xi asked.
"Let's go." Lu Changting said concisely.
His attitude inevitably attracted the attention of the people on the side, wondering why this person came from, and dared to be so rude to the prince?But they took a closer look at Lu Changting's attire, but they couldn't see anything.
Zhu Xi led Lu Changting into the Chengyun Hall.The Chengyun Hall is the tallest, and it is the main body of the palace building, with a width of eleven rooms.
The palace is nestled and arched on the top, and the pan is painted in the middle, and then decorated with gold borders, and the eight auspicious flowers are painted.The seat in the hall is made of red lacquer and gold panchi, the hanging tent is made of red pin and gold panchi, and the back wall of the seat is painted with panchi and colorful clouds.
The real emperor...
Think about King Yan again...
Lu Changting suddenly felt that the little bit of dissatisfaction with Zhu Di in his heart had disappeared like this.
As far as Zhu Di's Yanwang's mansion is stretched to death, it is the size of the county's mansion... When it was built, it was really careless!
Zhu Xi noticed Lu Changting's frown, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Changting shook his head: "Second brother is so resplendent here, it really shocked me!"
Zhu Xi didn't believe it at all, he smiled and said: "If you think this place is good, why don't you stay here all the time?"
Lu Changting didn't answer his words, and such words cannot be promised.Although Xi'an is a good choice right now, who knows what will happen in the future?
Not getting an answer from Lu Changting, Zhu Xi was not depressed, he said with a smile: "Changting will fall in love with this place."
Lu Changting walked around the hall again: "Is this place used for ceremonial celebrations?"
Zhu Xi nodded: "Exactly."
"The rear of the palace is also divided into three palaces, the front, the middle and the back?"
"good."
Lu Changting was speechless secretly, if the three palaces were divided into front, middle and back, then there would definitely be no fewer rooms.
"I'll take you there." Zhu Xi said.
"Okay." Lu Changting followed Zhu Xi and walked out together, so the group had no choice but to keep up.
After arriving at the back of the hall, it is indeed divided into three palaces, front, middle and back, with nine rooms in each.There are 99 rooms in the hatchback and other rooms of the palace gate.There are about [-] rooms in the palace.The scale... is astounding.
That's all, there are pavilions, pavilions, carved galleries and painted buildings everywhere...it's dazzling.
The maidservants passing by were all dressed up as palace servants, and they were all pretty good-looking.Zhu Xi is Yanfu and more than Zhu Di!
Like the imperial palace, the harem is the residence of the female relatives.Lu Changting naturally couldn't go.Zhu Xi took him directly to his palace, and then arranged Lu Changting's residence in the side hall on the right.It also made the people who waited next to me amazed.
Only a group of people who followed Zhu Xi all the time, curled their lips secretly, and said in their hearts, you will see it in the future!
Pointing to the extremely spacious room in front of him, Zhu Xing asked, "What does Changting think of this place?"
Lu Changting nodded: "That's right." He won't boast too much, but he won't belittle either.
But these two words are already a kind of compliment to Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi put it on his shoulder with a smile: "If you stay here, if you have anything to do after dark, I'll come over and see you."
"My lord, are you going to see the young master?" A maid next to him asked in a low voice.
Lu Changting was used to being called "Young Master", and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the maid speak like that.
Zhu Xi frowned slightly, and said, "But Concubine Deng asked you to come?"
The servant girl shook her head, frightened by Zhu Xi's aura, she was afraid to speak for a while.
Concubine Deng?Yes.At this moment, Lu Changting remembered that in Peking earlier, Zhu Xi had told him that his concubine Wang had died of illness.This is not quite consistent with history.And once the Wang family died, Zhu Xi's second son also died.
Lu Changting asked him, "Second brother, do you want to go there?"
Zhu Xi shook his head and said, "Bring the young master here. Let's set up a banquet first. Changting and I will have a hot soup first." The first two sentences were addressed to the servants, and the last sentence was naturally addressed to Lu Changting.
Still in trouble?There can't be a hot spring, right?
A young eunuch opened the way ahead, and soon led them to a side hall.At this time, someone naturally sent their clothes.
As soon as Lu Changting stepped into the hall, he could feel a wave of hot air wrapped in water vapor blowing towards his face.
After bypassing the screen, Lu Changting saw a big pond.This is of course not a hot spring, after all, there is no sulfur smell in this pool of water.This should be an ordinary hot pool.
Next, some young eunuchs with buckets came in and poured the hot water in their hands into the pool, which confirmed Lu Changting's guess.The water in the pool was indeed filled.This is too extravagant...
Thinking of how simple he and Zhu Di used to bathe in wooden barrels, Lu Changting suddenly felt that they were really bumpkins.
Zhu Xing pointed to the pond in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is very comfortable, why don't you take off your clothes and try it?"
Lu Changting was a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it, it's impossible for everyone to cut off their sleeves!The lump in Lu Changting's heart quickly disappeared.He took off his clothes without hesitation and jumped into the water.Lu Changting knew how to swim. When the hot water wrapped him up, he couldn't help but swam a few times, but after two swams, Lu Changting gave up.
It was so hot that I couldn't breathe even if I buried my head.
But just two strokes are enough to attract the attention of the people by the pool.
The little eunuch who fetched water blinked and was a little dumbfounded.
Zhu Xun coughed uncomfortably, and drew his attention away from the beautifully curved back just now.
Because the pool is big enough, the two of them can have their own soaks.Although the pool is good, it can't be soaked for a long time.Soon the two got up and the eunuch waited on them to wipe off the water on their bodies, and then changed their clothes.After the steaming heat, Lu Changting felt extremely hungry right now.
Zhu Xi asked the little eunuch to lead the way, and they quickly headed towards the dining room.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Changting could smell the fragrance.
Looking at the food on the table, it is also much more delicate than Yan Wang's Mansion, and there are many more dishes.
Zhu Xi asked Lu Changting to sit beside him so that he could pick up food for him.Lu Changting knew that Zhu Xing only regarded himself as his younger brother, and he was used to Zhu Xing's behavior anyway, so he let him go.As for how many people around him made their eyeballs roll out of their sockets, then it's none of his business.
The taste of the food is really good.
If Zheng He went to the West in the future and brought back more novelties, then the food of the Ming Dynasty would probably become more abundant.
Because he was really hungry, Lu Changting was indulging in the delicious food. He had just picked up a piece of eight-treasure duck meat when he heard someone outside say: "My lord." It was a female voice, or a soft female voice .
Then I heard footsteps approaching.
Zhu Xi frowned, put down his chopsticks and said, "Why is Concubine Deng here? Don't you know that the king is entertaining guests?" These words were scolding servants, but they were also meant for the person outside the door.
Just at this moment, the person outside the door came in and froze when he heard this sentence, but then the woman smiled nonchalantly, as if she had never heard Zhu Xi's words at all.
Lu Changting also took the time to look at Concubine Deng.
This Concubine Deng was covered in silk and satin, and the Ming Dynasty jacket and skirt could easily make people fatter, but when worn on Concubine Deng, it actually made her graceful.Then look at her face like a silver basin, her eyes like round apricots, how pretty she is.Generally, a person born with this appearance, even if they are older, will look very young.
Such a comparison...
Zhu Xi already has beautiful wives, but Zhu Di doesn't even have a fart.
Concubine Deng also got closer and saw a handsome young man sitting next to her, she immediately said "Yeah", she hurriedly covered her face and took two steps back, saying: "This concubine is being reckless, I never thought that the prince is here to entertain guests."
Although Concubine Deng was pretty and gave birth to Zhu Xi's eldest son, but at this time Zhu Xi was extremely disrespectful to her, and said coldly: "Since the maids around you know that the king is back, why didn't they tell you that the king is back?" Are there any guests?"
Concubine Deng froze again, and laughed quickly: "What did the lord say?" Then she turned around and clapped her hands and said, "The concubine brought Bing'er too, the lord has been away for a few months, he can I miss my lord, how about eating together today?"
This is a bit out of line, but if it is done by a young woman, it is hard to refuse.
Of course, this reluctant person is definitely not Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi frowned and said: "It's true that this king has not seen him for a long time, so I left the young master behind, and you can take your servants back."
Lu Changting looked at Concubine Deng, guessing that Concubine Deng should be choked again.
Sure enough, the smile on Concubine Deng's face could hardly be maintained.
At this time, the nanny brought a child over. The child was about three years old. Such a small child looked cute, with a pair of round eyes rolling around, neither crying nor shouting, just staring blankly. Follow Zhu Xi's direction.
This child is also dressed in silk and satin, but the funny thing is that his head is shaved bald and round, with no hair left.The royal heirs are all like this, just like the folks, the princes and princesses before the age of ten do not keep their hair, and they are called "like the sons of Buddha".However, the weather has not yet warmed up at this time, such a small child should be wearing a drala hat on his head.
Seeing the appearance, Zhu Xi frowned and scolded, "Where's his hat?"
Concubine Deng also frowned: "Xu was blown away by the strong wind on the way here." Concubine Deng stretched out her hand to pick up the child, and even covered the child's protruding head with her hand.
Zhu Xing was really upset when he saw it, so he said: "Everyone sit down!"
Lu Changting was hesitating whether he should back away, but Zhu Xi had already reached out and pressed his knees, not allowing him to get up.
After the new bowls and chopsticks were put on the table, and Concubine Deng sat down with the young master, Zhu Xi said: "This is my righteous brother, named Lu Changting, who will live in the palace for a long time."
Brother?Concubine Deng's eyes flickered, she nodded lightly to Lu Changting, and said: "Master Lu is good."
"Meet Concubine Deng." Lu Changting said so, but he didn't stand up and salute.Who let him be pressed by Zhu Xi's knee?
After all, Zhu Xi is still young, although he likes his sons and heirs, he is not yet at the point of caring, pampering, and loving him.This is also a drawback of the royal family, thinking that there will be more children anyway, so naturally it is not so caring and unusual.
What's more, in Zhu Xi's view, Chang Ting has just arrived here, he should try his best to be a good brother, and first accompany Chang Ting well.Everything here is unfamiliar to Chang Ting, so he can't neglect Chang Ting in the slightest, so as to make Chang Ting feel lonely.
So Zhu Yu didn't take his son over to coax him, but continued to pick up vegetables for Lu Changting freely.Seeing such a scene, Concubine Deng couldn't help being stunned slightly.
At this moment, Lu Changting felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Zhu Xi's actions in front of so many people, which was to use the most effective and direct means to tell everyone his status.This can also solve a lot of troubles.
So Lu Changting was directly taken care of by Zhu Xi.
Halfway through the meal, when Lu Changting looked around again, he could also catch a glimpse of a change in the expression on the faces of the servants next to him. When they looked at him, they became more careful.
Due to the fact that there was a child at the banquet, Concubine Deng really didn't have a good time. Perhaps it was because she didn't take care of many children on weekdays. Concubine Deng seemed a little flustered while holding the child.
Lu Changting secretly shook his head.This child is already three years old, he can eat on his own, but since the child entered the door, he has been held by the nanny, and then by Concubine Deng. A three-year-old child, a child at this age is not light, Concubine Deng To be able to hold on and not let go.This is really too spoiled, which is definitely not a good thing for children.And Concubine Deng taking care of him in a hurry is by no means a good example.If the parents are often careless and in a hurry, the children will probably be prone to carelessness and uncoordinated hands and feet when they grow up.
Obviously Zhu Xi and Deng Fei, including the servants in the room, didn't realize that there was something wrong.
Lu Changting thought, so it's really not suitable for marriage when you are young, because you can't bear the responsibilities after marriage.However, Lu Changting also slandered for a while at these words.It would be too embarrassing to say it at this time, but now he is on other people's territory.
Due to the presence of Concubine Deng, Lu Changting quickly finished eating.
In fact, because of his previous life experience, he didn't have the slightest objection when there was a woman eating with him.After all, he is not the original ancient man, nor will he pay attention to the custom of women not going to the table.However, he was not familiar with Concubine Deng, and Concubine Deng didn't look at him any more except for the initial greeting, and Zhu Yu didn't intend to introduce him.Naturally, the atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward.
That being the case, it would be better to finish eating quickly.
Zhu Xi stood up and said, "Take Bing'er back to rest, it's getting late." "Changting, I'll show you around the palace again."
Lu Changting nodded.
Concubine Deng was naturally dissatisfied, she hugged the child and patted it twice, and said: "Bing'er misses the lord so much, won't the lord accompany him?" Concubine Deng's voice was a little sad.
At this moment, Lu Changting felt a little embarrassed, he became an obstacle to family reunion and intimacy, so he did not take the initiative to say: "Second brother will send a eunuch for me to order."
Concubine Deng was really surprised when she heard that Lu Changting dared to call King Qin "Second Brother". At the same time, she also had a clearer understanding of the identity of this righteous brother in her heart.
Concubine Deng couldn't tell what Lu Changting's background was at this time, but she also knew the truth of going too far, so she smiled and said: "Then... then the prince should accompany Mr. Lu." After finishing speaking, Concubine Deng's face The color of loss flashed.
It was heartbreaking for such a beauty to show such an expression.But for a character like Zhu Xi, who has never seen any kind of beauty, naturally he will not soften his heart towards Concubine Deng.He waved his hand and said: "Then you go, protect the child carefully, don't let him catch cold."
Zhu Xi's actions like this are really scumbags!But thinking about what era this is, and what kind of education and influence the natives here have received, Lu Changting can no longer blame Zhu Xi.But why didn't Zhu Xi learn from the fine traditions of his old Zhu family and respect his wife?
After Concubine Deng and her party left, the room suddenly became much quieter.
Zhu Xi personally fetched the cloak and put it on Lu Changting's body.
The servants secretly kept this detail in their hearts.
"Let's go." Zhu Xi stuffed a hand stove into Lu Changting's hand before leading him out.
Lu Changting was speechless for a while, looking at Zhu Xi's appearance, it is quite good to take care of others, but looking at Concubine Deng's resentful appearance, it seems that he has never even enjoyed the treatment of being served food.
After walking out, Zhu Xi seemed to see what Lu Changting was thinking, so he said, "Do you think I treat Concubine Deng badly?"
Lu Changting nodded.
"Father and emperor have always respected mother and queen, so I naturally know this truth. It's just Changting, my concubine is the Wang family who has passed away not long ago, not her concubine Deng."
A difference in appellation can determine the status of the main concubine and the second concubine in Zhu Xi's place.
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that it was because Emperor Hongwu set an example in front of him that Zhu Xi respected the first concubine Wang, but he didn't care about the second concubine.Although both the main concubine and the second concubine were descended from legitimate sons, in Zhu Xi's mind, only the Wang family is worthy of being treated well like Queen Ma back then.
With such an answer, Lu Changting was even more unable to say that Zhu Xi was scum.
Or it should be said that Zhu Xi is very principled and has no idea of pampering or destroying his wife.
This can be regarded as a feature of the ancient feudal society!
Just seeing Zhu Xi like this, Lu Changting couldn't help but think of Zhu Di, what does Zhu Di think of him?Lu Changting secretly frowned.
"Why are you distracted?" Zhu Xi suddenly said, "Isn't it that you just arrived in Xi'an and miss the fourth child?"
In fact, Zhu Xi always said such things before, but ever since Lu Changting knew Zhu Di's thoughts, he felt that the feeling in his heart was very strange when he heard such words again.
Lu Changting immediately shook his head, but didn't make much excuses.
Zhu Xi didn't take Lu Changting's weird reaction to heart at all, he continued: "There is a reason why I don't like Concubine Deng in my heart. Mrs. Wang...you may not know the origin of Mrs. Wang..."
Lu Changting said silently in his heart, I know, I know that she is the younger sister of Henan Wang Wang Baobao, and I also know that the prototype of Zhao Min in Yitian Tulongji is her.
"She is not a Han, but a Mongol. Her elder brother is the king of Henan. Concubine Deng's father is Deng Yu. There is a disparity between the two. The Wang family is intelligent and quick-witted, but because of her birth, she is not in my palace. She always abides by her duties. Concubine Deng is different. She dares to do things that a concubine cannot do..."
Lu Changting thought to himself, this is exactly the difference between a wife and a concubine.In ancient times, why in some big families, some people always liked their concubines, but not their regular wives.It's all because the main wife must be dignified and gentle, and she can't bear to do things that lose her status.The concubine is different, as long as it can please a man, she dares to do anything.But this concubine Deng's father is Deng Yu, a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, who was named the Duke of Wei!Zhu Xi also said that Concubine Deng's background is not low, so how could Concubine Deng be willing to put herself down and treat herself like a concubine?
Just as she was wondering, she heard Zhu Xi say again: "If it's just like this, that's all. How can all the women in the world look like they were carved out of the same mold?" , once Mrs. Wang is not by my side, she will come forward, I didn't realize it at first, but later I found out that this woman has a big heart, and everyone has put her next to me and the princess!"
Lu Changting was secretly speechless.It can be seen that it is not a good thing for a daughter-in-law to marry too many.
"Ms. Wang's health was not very good when she came to the palace. After she died of illness, Concubine Deng always regarded herself as a concubine, and even more boldly asked her servants to monitor my whereabouts." Zhu Xi sneered and said: "Today is exactly the time. in this way."
After being said by Zhu Xing, Lu Changting was also a little unhappy with Concubine Deng.
Not to mention anything else, but after the Wang family left, Concubine Deng assumed the role of Concubine Zheng, which really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
It was as if Mrs. Wang had finally died and it was her turn to take over.
"If she hadn't had a son, and I only have this only son, I would have been mad at her long ago." Zhu Xi frowned: "Speaking of this, I didn't completely lie to you when I was in Beiping. There are some strange things in my house... When Wang died, there was still a fetus in her womb. If she survived, I wouldn't have to tolerate Concubine Deng like this."
Zhu Xi didn't say this at the beginning!
But now that he has come to Xi'an, he will definitely take a look for Zhu Xi.
"Let's not talk about this matter first, people have been away for so long, don't be in a hurry at this moment." Zhu Xi smiled and said: "You asked me what is interesting in Xi'an before. Qi Yi's matter is not a big deal. It's interesting..."
Qi Yi was the Feng Shui master who did the Feng Shui formation for the pawn shop before and was finally sent to Zhu Xi.
"Oh, you mentioned earlier that these people might be organized?"
Zhu Xi nodded and said: "Brother had an accident this time, and finally you asked about the White Lotus Sect from Mrs. Liu, right?"
Lu Changting nodded.
"Since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect have often caused chaos. Only this time Feng Shui and the White Lotus Sect have been involved. Can we suspect that these Fengshui accidents are all related to the White Lotus Sect? Coincidentally, Xi'an also has The White Lotus Sect is making trouble, and I once took orders from my father to clean up the local White Lotus Sect members. Is Changting interested?"
have!Great!
Zhu Xi's guess is reasonable.
Both the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect are eager to kill the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Sect was more active during the Ming Dynasty, and the White Lotus Sect was more active during the Qing Dynasty.
From what happened when United was in the central capital, it can be seen that the purpose of the incidents was to murder the royal family, and the purpose and motive were the same, so it is natural to boldly guess the relationship between the two.
Lu Changting has never seen a living White Lotus Sect, so the Liu family doesn't count at all.When Zhu Xi brought it up at this time, he naturally felt extremely interested!
It would be even more interesting if we could use feng shui methods to give Zhu Xi a chance to clean up!
Lu Changting knows the power of these non-governmental organizations, it is definitely not a fun thing, and these may threaten the ruling regime.Even if there is no such great energy to threaten the rule, the troubles caused by demagoguery, inciting the people, and making chaos everywhere are enough to make the emperor headache and anger.Thinking about Zhu Di being the emperor in the future, Lu Changting felt a sense of duty.
At this time, Lu Changting didn't notice at all, he was still caring about Zhu Di instinctively.
While wandering around the palace, the two talked about the situation of the White Lotus Sect, and before they knew it, it was getting late.
"Tomorrow. You rest for a day, and I will take you for a walk in Xi'an city the day after tomorrow."
Lu Changting nodded.
Because Lu Changting lived in the side hall, the two of them also went back together when they went back.
It's just that they didn't expect that just as the two of them walked outside the gate, they saw Concubine Deng coming out of it.
Lu Changting frowned secretly, knowing that today he might suffer.
It can actually be seen from the time in Zhongdu that Zhu Xi's temper is not that good, and he is even a little anxious.It's just that he has a good relationship with Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi has always been a gentle brother in front of him, so he didn't show his ferocious side.But after all, they are all from the royal family, and Zhu Xi is not such a bastard who is not favored.Zhu Xi's desire to control should not be small.
Concubine Deng's move now is to tell Zhu Xi that Concubine Deng tamed her servants a few months after he left.
It doesn't matter if you want to tame the maids and servants under your command, but if you tame them in Zhu Xi's bedroom, something big will happen...
Zhu Xing would definitely not tolerate it, not to mention that Zhu Xing had already accumulated a lot of unhappiness in his heart?
As expected by Lu Changting, after seeing Concubine Deng, Zhu Xi immediately turned cold, and at the same time said with a sneer: "Concubine Deng is very capable, you can come in and out freely even if I am not in the bedroom."
Concubine Deng also realized her omission immediately, knelt down quickly, and said: "My lord, I beg you to forgive me, the concubine entered the bedroom only because of anxiety..."
It was a bad lie.
Because when Concubine Deng greeted her just now, she clearly had a smile on her face, how could she still smile when she was anxious?
"Then tell me, what kind of anxious reason will allow you to enter this king's bedroom?"
Not to mention the prince, even if it is an ordinary official's house, wives and concubines can't enter it, because there are likely to be private things in it, regardless of those who commit crimes, just normal officials, there may be things related to government affairs in it , These things must never be leaked out.Therefore, wives and concubines in ancient times were not eligible to enter the husband's bedroom and study.
If it is a prince, it is even more demanding than ordinary officials.
For example, have you ever seen a concubine who can stay in the emperor's palace?
Concubine Deng's actions naturally touched Zhu Xi's bottom line.
Concubine Deng knelt down and looked up at Zhu Xi, with tears in her eyes: "My lord knows, what else could it be? Bing'er said hell again."
Zhu Xi and his party had a huge team, and they traveled all the way. Because the momentum was too scary, no one dared to provoke them.
As soon as we entered Xi'an, the snow had already melted.
It's just that after the snow melts, it's the coldest.Lu Changting huddled in the carriage, holding a hand stove, wrapped in a thick velvet cloak, with white fluffy hair around the edge of the cloak, guarding Lu Changting's face, it was really pretty.
It's like a snow god walking out of the ice and snow.
The carriage had been going for an unknown amount of time, Lu Changting couldn't help but yawned sleepily, and when he was hesitating whether to sleep again, he heard the voice outside: "Master, the city is ahead."
Lu Changting heaved a sigh of relief, sat up straight quickly, raised his hand and opened the car door to look out, sure enough, he could vaguely see the outline of the city.
In just a short while, the carriage approached the city gate, and the soldiers outside the city gate were checking the passing pedestrians and carriages.
King Qin's chariot was naturally different, and the soldier recognized it at a glance, so he hurried forward to meet the chariot, and the common people also opened the way spontaneously, and the chariot easily entered the gate.After entering the city gate, the voice next to Lu Changting's ears suddenly became noisy.It's like stepping from one space to another in time.
Zhu Xi said with a smile: "Anyway, this was once the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is still prosperous even today."
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was here.
Lu Changting also traveled to Shaanxi in his previous life, so he didn't find it unusual.
Xi'an used to be the capital of many dynasties, including the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties...all established their capitals here.There are countless emperors sleeping here, and it is even called the Eastern Valley of Kings in later generations.At that time, Lu Changting was full of longing for Xi'an because of this name.I don't know what is the difference between Xi'an a hundred years ago and a hundred years later.
Because Xi'an was no longer the capital city at this time, naturally, many buildings in the city followed the predecessors, and there were really few changes.
The bustling sound of the carriage along the way came to the outside of King Qin's mansion. At this time, there was basically no sound. After all, no one was allowed to approach the mansion.
The people in the Qin.Wang.Mansion should have gotten the news in advance, so they waited outside the gate of the mansion early.As soon as the door of the carriage was opened, a man dressed as a eunuch stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master!"
It was Lu Changting who pushed the door of the car. He poked his head out, blinked, and jumped down first.The eunuch was startled by him, and hurriedly raised his head to look at him, seeing that it was not his prince, he became even more panicked, and hurriedly continued to look into the carriage.
Zhu Xi in the carriage was no longer as casual as he was in front of Lu Changting, now he raised his bearing, and he was more like a prince.
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Xi, and said: "The hot water and food are all ready, please, master."
Zhu Xi nodded and walked down, but didn't move immediately.
"How does Changting look at this Prince Qin's mansion?" Zhu Xi asked.
Lu Changting followed his advice and really looked up.Zhu Xi is worthy of being favored by Emperor Hongwu. Although Emperor Hongwu asked his sons to be frugal, his son went to the fiefdom. Emperor Hongwu didn't want to treat his son badly, so he ordered people to build such a mansion.
In comparison, Yanwang Mansion in Beiping looks much shabby.
This Qin.Wang.Mansion is a shrunken imperial palace. In front of him is a tall city wall surrounded on all sides. The tower is covered with blue glazed tiles. If he remembers correctly, there should be a gate on all four sides. Copper nails painted with lacquer gold.The main gates of these four cities are called Duanli in the south, Guangzhi in the north, Tiren in the east, and Zunyi in the west.The scale of the end is grand and majestic, covering an area of nearly [-] mu.
Now they are in front of Guangzhi Gate.
This is really a majestic spectacle that will never be seen in later generations!
Lu Changting couldn't help thinking of another prince, Prince Jingjiang.It is rumored that his palace is the most grand, and it took 20 years to build it. The palace is surrounded by a three-mile-long Chengheng, built with square bluestone inside and outside, which is very strong.Jingjiang Palace is also the best-preserved Ming Dynasty palace in later generations.
"How?" Seeing that Lu Changting remained silent for a long time, Zhu Xi became a little nervous instead.
The eunuch next to him looked at Lu Changting more carefully, and secretly guessed in his heart who this person was, that he could be treated so carefully by His Royal Highness King Qin.
Lu Changting closed his eyes and said, "Qin.Wang.Mansion should be built by Fengshui masters, right? How can we find the wrong place?"
"How does it compare to Lao Si's mansion?"
Lu Changting silently recalled the appearance of King Yan's Mansion. If it was placed together with King Qin's Mansion, then one would probably be for the native land and the other for Bai Fumei.
But Lu Changting wouldn't say that, he just nodded lightly: "That's right."
Zhu Xing knew that he would not say anything bad about the fourth child, so he curled his lips immediately, but didn't ask any more questions.
"Going in in a carriage? Or?"
"Let's go." Although Lu Changting was very calm, he really wanted to take a good look at the prince's residence hundreds of years ago.
"Okay." Zhu Xi immediately walked in with Lu Changting.
The group of people who followed had a bitter face, so they had to hurry up.
After entering the main entrance, there are three groups of main halls with a base height of six feet nine inches.The more Lu Changting looked at it, the more he felt that Yan Wang's Mansion was too shabby... When he supervised the construction, Emperor Hongwu probably didn't pay much attention to it at all.
Zhu Xi raised his finger and said, "This is the Chengyun Hall, the Yuan Hall and the Cunxin Hall."
"Want to go in and take a look?" Zhu Xi asked.
"Let's go." Lu Changting said concisely.
His attitude inevitably attracted the attention of the people on the side, wondering why this person came from, and dared to be so rude to the prince?But they took a closer look at Lu Changting's attire, but they couldn't see anything.
Zhu Xi led Lu Changting into the Chengyun Hall.The Chengyun Hall is the tallest, and it is the main body of the palace building, with a width of eleven rooms.
The palace is nestled and arched on the top, and the pan is painted in the middle, and then decorated with gold borders, and the eight auspicious flowers are painted.The seat in the hall is made of red lacquer and gold panchi, the hanging tent is made of red pin and gold panchi, and the back wall of the seat is painted with panchi and colorful clouds.
The real emperor...
Think about King Yan again...
Lu Changting suddenly felt that the little bit of dissatisfaction with Zhu Di in his heart had disappeared like this.
As far as Zhu Di's Yanwang's mansion is stretched to death, it is the size of the county's mansion... When it was built, it was really careless!
Zhu Xi noticed Lu Changting's frown, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Changting shook his head: "Second brother is so resplendent here, it really shocked me!"
Zhu Xi didn't believe it at all, he smiled and said: "If you think this place is good, why don't you stay here all the time?"
Lu Changting didn't answer his words, and such words cannot be promised.Although Xi'an is a good choice right now, who knows what will happen in the future?
Not getting an answer from Lu Changting, Zhu Xi was not depressed, he said with a smile: "Changting will fall in love with this place."
Lu Changting walked around the hall again: "Is this place used for ceremonial celebrations?"
Zhu Xi nodded: "Exactly."
"The rear of the palace is also divided into three palaces, the front, the middle and the back?"
"good."
Lu Changting was speechless secretly, if the three palaces were divided into front, middle and back, then there would definitely be no fewer rooms.
"I'll take you there." Zhu Xi said.
"Okay." Lu Changting followed Zhu Xi and walked out together, so the group had no choice but to keep up.
After arriving at the back of the hall, it is indeed divided into three palaces, front, middle and back, with nine rooms in each.There are 99 rooms in the hatchback and other rooms of the palace gate.There are about [-] rooms in the palace.The scale... is astounding.
That's all, there are pavilions, pavilions, carved galleries and painted buildings everywhere...it's dazzling.
The maidservants passing by were all dressed up as palace servants, and they were all pretty good-looking.Zhu Xi is Yanfu and more than Zhu Di!
Like the imperial palace, the harem is the residence of the female relatives.Lu Changting naturally couldn't go.Zhu Xi took him directly to his palace, and then arranged Lu Changting's residence in the side hall on the right.It also made the people who waited next to me amazed.
Only a group of people who followed Zhu Xi all the time, curled their lips secretly, and said in their hearts, you will see it in the future!
Pointing to the extremely spacious room in front of him, Zhu Xing asked, "What does Changting think of this place?"
Lu Changting nodded: "That's right." He won't boast too much, but he won't belittle either.
But these two words are already a kind of compliment to Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi put it on his shoulder with a smile: "If you stay here, if you have anything to do after dark, I'll come over and see you."
"My lord, are you going to see the young master?" A maid next to him asked in a low voice.
Lu Changting was used to being called "Young Master", and suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the maid speak like that.
Zhu Xi frowned slightly, and said, "But Concubine Deng asked you to come?"
The servant girl shook her head, frightened by Zhu Xi's aura, she was afraid to speak for a while.
Concubine Deng?Yes.At this moment, Lu Changting remembered that in Peking earlier, Zhu Xi had told him that his concubine Wang had died of illness.This is not quite consistent with history.And once the Wang family died, Zhu Xi's second son also died.
Lu Changting asked him, "Second brother, do you want to go there?"
Zhu Xi shook his head and said, "Bring the young master here. Let's set up a banquet first. Changting and I will have a hot soup first." The first two sentences were addressed to the servants, and the last sentence was naturally addressed to Lu Changting.
Still in trouble?There can't be a hot spring, right?
A young eunuch opened the way ahead, and soon led them to a side hall.At this time, someone naturally sent their clothes.
As soon as Lu Changting stepped into the hall, he could feel a wave of hot air wrapped in water vapor blowing towards his face.
After bypassing the screen, Lu Changting saw a big pond.This is of course not a hot spring, after all, there is no sulfur smell in this pool of water.This should be an ordinary hot pool.
Next, some young eunuchs with buckets came in and poured the hot water in their hands into the pool, which confirmed Lu Changting's guess.The water in the pool was indeed filled.This is too extravagant...
Thinking of how simple he and Zhu Di used to bathe in wooden barrels, Lu Changting suddenly felt that they were really bumpkins.
Zhu Xing pointed to the pond in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is very comfortable, why don't you take off your clothes and try it?"
Lu Changting was a little uncomfortable, but thinking about it, it's impossible for everyone to cut off their sleeves!The lump in Lu Changting's heart quickly disappeared.He took off his clothes without hesitation and jumped into the water.Lu Changting knew how to swim. When the hot water wrapped him up, he couldn't help but swam a few times, but after two swams, Lu Changting gave up.
It was so hot that I couldn't breathe even if I buried my head.
But just two strokes are enough to attract the attention of the people by the pool.
The little eunuch who fetched water blinked and was a little dumbfounded.
Zhu Xun coughed uncomfortably, and drew his attention away from the beautifully curved back just now.
Because the pool is big enough, the two of them can have their own soaks.Although the pool is good, it can't be soaked for a long time.Soon the two got up and the eunuch waited on them to wipe off the water on their bodies, and then changed their clothes.After the steaming heat, Lu Changting felt extremely hungry right now.
Zhu Xi asked the little eunuch to lead the way, and they quickly headed towards the dining room.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Changting could smell the fragrance.
Looking at the food on the table, it is also much more delicate than Yan Wang's Mansion, and there are many more dishes.
Zhu Xi asked Lu Changting to sit beside him so that he could pick up food for him.Lu Changting knew that Zhu Xing only regarded himself as his younger brother, and he was used to Zhu Xing's behavior anyway, so he let him go.As for how many people around him made their eyeballs roll out of their sockets, then it's none of his business.
The taste of the food is really good.
If Zheng He went to the West in the future and brought back more novelties, then the food of the Ming Dynasty would probably become more abundant.
Because he was really hungry, Lu Changting was indulging in the delicious food. He had just picked up a piece of eight-treasure duck meat when he heard someone outside say: "My lord." It was a female voice, or a soft female voice .
Then I heard footsteps approaching.
Zhu Xi frowned, put down his chopsticks and said, "Why is Concubine Deng here? Don't you know that the king is entertaining guests?" These words were scolding servants, but they were also meant for the person outside the door.
Just at this moment, the person outside the door came in and froze when he heard this sentence, but then the woman smiled nonchalantly, as if she had never heard Zhu Xi's words at all.
Lu Changting also took the time to look at Concubine Deng.
This Concubine Deng was covered in silk and satin, and the Ming Dynasty jacket and skirt could easily make people fatter, but when worn on Concubine Deng, it actually made her graceful.Then look at her face like a silver basin, her eyes like round apricots, how pretty she is.Generally, a person born with this appearance, even if they are older, will look very young.
Such a comparison...
Zhu Xi already has beautiful wives, but Zhu Di doesn't even have a fart.
Concubine Deng also got closer and saw a handsome young man sitting next to her, she immediately said "Yeah", she hurriedly covered her face and took two steps back, saying: "This concubine is being reckless, I never thought that the prince is here to entertain guests."
Although Concubine Deng was pretty and gave birth to Zhu Xi's eldest son, but at this time Zhu Xi was extremely disrespectful to her, and said coldly: "Since the maids around you know that the king is back, why didn't they tell you that the king is back?" Are there any guests?"
Concubine Deng froze again, and laughed quickly: "What did the lord say?" Then she turned around and clapped her hands and said, "The concubine brought Bing'er too, the lord has been away for a few months, he can I miss my lord, how about eating together today?"
This is a bit out of line, but if it is done by a young woman, it is hard to refuse.
Of course, this reluctant person is definitely not Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi frowned and said: "It's true that this king has not seen him for a long time, so I left the young master behind, and you can take your servants back."
Lu Changting looked at Concubine Deng, guessing that Concubine Deng should be choked again.
Sure enough, the smile on Concubine Deng's face could hardly be maintained.
At this time, the nanny brought a child over. The child was about three years old. Such a small child looked cute, with a pair of round eyes rolling around, neither crying nor shouting, just staring blankly. Follow Zhu Xi's direction.
This child is also dressed in silk and satin, but the funny thing is that his head is shaved bald and round, with no hair left.The royal heirs are all like this, just like the folks, the princes and princesses before the age of ten do not keep their hair, and they are called "like the sons of Buddha".However, the weather has not yet warmed up at this time, such a small child should be wearing a drala hat on his head.
Seeing the appearance, Zhu Xi frowned and scolded, "Where's his hat?"
Concubine Deng also frowned: "Xu was blown away by the strong wind on the way here." Concubine Deng stretched out her hand to pick up the child, and even covered the child's protruding head with her hand.
Zhu Xing was really upset when he saw it, so he said: "Everyone sit down!"
Lu Changting was hesitating whether he should back away, but Zhu Xi had already reached out and pressed his knees, not allowing him to get up.
After the new bowls and chopsticks were put on the table, and Concubine Deng sat down with the young master, Zhu Xi said: "This is my righteous brother, named Lu Changting, who will live in the palace for a long time."
Brother?Concubine Deng's eyes flickered, she nodded lightly to Lu Changting, and said: "Master Lu is good."
"Meet Concubine Deng." Lu Changting said so, but he didn't stand up and salute.Who let him be pressed by Zhu Xi's knee?
After all, Zhu Xi is still young, although he likes his sons and heirs, he is not yet at the point of caring, pampering, and loving him.This is also a drawback of the royal family, thinking that there will be more children anyway, so naturally it is not so caring and unusual.
What's more, in Zhu Xi's view, Chang Ting has just arrived here, he should try his best to be a good brother, and first accompany Chang Ting well.Everything here is unfamiliar to Chang Ting, so he can't neglect Chang Ting in the slightest, so as to make Chang Ting feel lonely.
So Zhu Yu didn't take his son over to coax him, but continued to pick up vegetables for Lu Changting freely.Seeing such a scene, Concubine Deng couldn't help being stunned slightly.
At this moment, Lu Changting felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Zhu Xi's actions in front of so many people, which was to use the most effective and direct means to tell everyone his status.This can also solve a lot of troubles.
So Lu Changting was directly taken care of by Zhu Xi.
Halfway through the meal, when Lu Changting looked around again, he could also catch a glimpse of a change in the expression on the faces of the servants next to him. When they looked at him, they became more careful.
Due to the fact that there was a child at the banquet, Concubine Deng really didn't have a good time. Perhaps it was because she didn't take care of many children on weekdays. Concubine Deng seemed a little flustered while holding the child.
Lu Changting secretly shook his head.This child is already three years old, he can eat on his own, but since the child entered the door, he has been held by the nanny, and then by Concubine Deng. A three-year-old child, a child at this age is not light, Concubine Deng To be able to hold on and not let go.This is really too spoiled, which is definitely not a good thing for children.And Concubine Deng taking care of him in a hurry is by no means a good example.If the parents are often careless and in a hurry, the children will probably be prone to carelessness and uncoordinated hands and feet when they grow up.
Obviously Zhu Xi and Deng Fei, including the servants in the room, didn't realize that there was something wrong.
Lu Changting thought, so it's really not suitable for marriage when you are young, because you can't bear the responsibilities after marriage.However, Lu Changting also slandered for a while at these words.It would be too embarrassing to say it at this time, but now he is on other people's territory.
Due to the presence of Concubine Deng, Lu Changting quickly finished eating.
In fact, because of his previous life experience, he didn't have the slightest objection when there was a woman eating with him.After all, he is not the original ancient man, nor will he pay attention to the custom of women not going to the table.However, he was not familiar with Concubine Deng, and Concubine Deng didn't look at him any more except for the initial greeting, and Zhu Yu didn't intend to introduce him.Naturally, the atmosphere at the dinner table became awkward.
That being the case, it would be better to finish eating quickly.
Zhu Xi stood up and said, "Take Bing'er back to rest, it's getting late." "Changting, I'll show you around the palace again."
Lu Changting nodded.
Concubine Deng was naturally dissatisfied, she hugged the child and patted it twice, and said: "Bing'er misses the lord so much, won't the lord accompany him?" Concubine Deng's voice was a little sad.
At this moment, Lu Changting felt a little embarrassed, he became an obstacle to family reunion and intimacy, so he did not take the initiative to say: "Second brother will send a eunuch for me to order."
Concubine Deng was really surprised when she heard that Lu Changting dared to call King Qin "Second Brother". At the same time, she also had a clearer understanding of the identity of this righteous brother in her heart.
Concubine Deng couldn't tell what Lu Changting's background was at this time, but she also knew the truth of going too far, so she smiled and said: "Then... then the prince should accompany Mr. Lu." After finishing speaking, Concubine Deng's face The color of loss flashed.
It was heartbreaking for such a beauty to show such an expression.But for a character like Zhu Xi, who has never seen any kind of beauty, naturally he will not soften his heart towards Concubine Deng.He waved his hand and said: "Then you go, protect the child carefully, don't let him catch cold."
Zhu Xi's actions like this are really scumbags!But thinking about what era this is, and what kind of education and influence the natives here have received, Lu Changting can no longer blame Zhu Xi.But why didn't Zhu Xi learn from the fine traditions of his old Zhu family and respect his wife?
After Concubine Deng and her party left, the room suddenly became much quieter.
Zhu Xi personally fetched the cloak and put it on Lu Changting's body.
The servants secretly kept this detail in their hearts.
"Let's go." Zhu Xi stuffed a hand stove into Lu Changting's hand before leading him out.
Lu Changting was speechless for a while, looking at Zhu Xi's appearance, it is quite good to take care of others, but looking at Concubine Deng's resentful appearance, it seems that he has never even enjoyed the treatment of being served food.
After walking out, Zhu Xi seemed to see what Lu Changting was thinking, so he said, "Do you think I treat Concubine Deng badly?"
Lu Changting nodded.
"Father and emperor have always respected mother and queen, so I naturally know this truth. It's just Changting, my concubine is the Wang family who has passed away not long ago, not her concubine Deng."
A difference in appellation can determine the status of the main concubine and the second concubine in Zhu Xi's place.
Lu Changting was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that it was because Emperor Hongwu set an example in front of him that Zhu Xi respected the first concubine Wang, but he didn't care about the second concubine.Although both the main concubine and the second concubine were descended from legitimate sons, in Zhu Xi's mind, only the Wang family is worthy of being treated well like Queen Ma back then.
With such an answer, Lu Changting was even more unable to say that Zhu Xi was scum.
Or it should be said that Zhu Xi is very principled and has no idea of pampering or destroying his wife.
This can be regarded as a feature of the ancient feudal society!
Just seeing Zhu Xi like this, Lu Changting couldn't help but think of Zhu Di, what does Zhu Di think of him?Lu Changting secretly frowned.
"Why are you distracted?" Zhu Xi suddenly said, "Isn't it that you just arrived in Xi'an and miss the fourth child?"
In fact, Zhu Xi always said such things before, but ever since Lu Changting knew Zhu Di's thoughts, he felt that the feeling in his heart was very strange when he heard such words again.
Lu Changting immediately shook his head, but didn't make much excuses.
Zhu Xi didn't take Lu Changting's weird reaction to heart at all, he continued: "There is a reason why I don't like Concubine Deng in my heart. Mrs. Wang...you may not know the origin of Mrs. Wang..."
Lu Changting said silently in his heart, I know, I know that she is the younger sister of Henan Wang Wang Baobao, and I also know that the prototype of Zhao Min in Yitian Tulongji is her.
"She is not a Han, but a Mongol. Her elder brother is the king of Henan. Concubine Deng's father is Deng Yu. There is a disparity between the two. The Wang family is intelligent and quick-witted, but because of her birth, she is not in my palace. She always abides by her duties. Concubine Deng is different. She dares to do things that a concubine cannot do..."
Lu Changting thought to himself, this is exactly the difference between a wife and a concubine.In ancient times, why in some big families, some people always liked their concubines, but not their regular wives.It's all because the main wife must be dignified and gentle, and she can't bear to do things that lose her status.The concubine is different, as long as it can please a man, she dares to do anything.But this concubine Deng's father is Deng Yu, a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, who was named the Duke of Wei!Zhu Xi also said that Concubine Deng's background is not low, so how could Concubine Deng be willing to put herself down and treat herself like a concubine?
Just as she was wondering, she heard Zhu Xi say again: "If it's just like this, that's all. How can all the women in the world look like they were carved out of the same mold?" , once Mrs. Wang is not by my side, she will come forward, I didn't realize it at first, but later I found out that this woman has a big heart, and everyone has put her next to me and the princess!"
Lu Changting was secretly speechless.It can be seen that it is not a good thing for a daughter-in-law to marry too many.
"Ms. Wang's health was not very good when she came to the palace. After she died of illness, Concubine Deng always regarded herself as a concubine, and even more boldly asked her servants to monitor my whereabouts." Zhu Xi sneered and said: "Today is exactly the time. in this way."
After being said by Zhu Xing, Lu Changting was also a little unhappy with Concubine Deng.
Not to mention anything else, but after the Wang family left, Concubine Deng assumed the role of Concubine Zheng, which really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
It was as if Mrs. Wang had finally died and it was her turn to take over.
"If she hadn't had a son, and I only have this only son, I would have been mad at her long ago." Zhu Xi frowned: "Speaking of this, I didn't completely lie to you when I was in Beiping. There are some strange things in my house... When Wang died, there was still a fetus in her womb. If she survived, I wouldn't have to tolerate Concubine Deng like this."
Zhu Xi didn't say this at the beginning!
But now that he has come to Xi'an, he will definitely take a look for Zhu Xi.
"Let's not talk about this matter first, people have been away for so long, don't be in a hurry at this moment." Zhu Xi smiled and said: "You asked me what is interesting in Xi'an before. Qi Yi's matter is not a big deal. It's interesting..."
Qi Yi was the Feng Shui master who did the Feng Shui formation for the pawn shop before and was finally sent to Zhu Xi.
"Oh, you mentioned earlier that these people might be organized?"
Zhu Xi nodded and said: "Brother had an accident this time, and finally you asked about the White Lotus Sect from Mrs. Liu, right?"
Lu Changting nodded.
"Since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect have often caused chaos. Only this time Feng Shui and the White Lotus Sect have been involved. Can we suspect that these Fengshui accidents are all related to the White Lotus Sect? Coincidentally, Xi'an also has The White Lotus Sect is making trouble, and I once took orders from my father to clean up the local White Lotus Sect members. Is Changting interested?"
have!Great!
Zhu Xi's guess is reasonable.
Both the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect are eager to kill the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Sect was more active during the Ming Dynasty, and the White Lotus Sect was more active during the Qing Dynasty.
From what happened when United was in the central capital, it can be seen that the purpose of the incidents was to murder the royal family, and the purpose and motive were the same, so it is natural to boldly guess the relationship between the two.
Lu Changting has never seen a living White Lotus Sect, so the Liu family doesn't count at all.When Zhu Xi brought it up at this time, he naturally felt extremely interested!
It would be even more interesting if we could use feng shui methods to give Zhu Xi a chance to clean up!
Lu Changting knows the power of these non-governmental organizations, it is definitely not a fun thing, and these may threaten the ruling regime.Even if there is no such great energy to threaten the rule, the troubles caused by demagoguery, inciting the people, and making chaos everywhere are enough to make the emperor headache and anger.Thinking about Zhu Di being the emperor in the future, Lu Changting felt a sense of duty.
At this time, Lu Changting didn't notice at all, he was still caring about Zhu Di instinctively.
While wandering around the palace, the two talked about the situation of the White Lotus Sect, and before they knew it, it was getting late.
"Tomorrow. You rest for a day, and I will take you for a walk in Xi'an city the day after tomorrow."
Lu Changting nodded.
Because Lu Changting lived in the side hall, the two of them also went back together when they went back.
It's just that they didn't expect that just as the two of them walked outside the gate, they saw Concubine Deng coming out of it.
Lu Changting frowned secretly, knowing that today he might suffer.
It can actually be seen from the time in Zhongdu that Zhu Xi's temper is not that good, and he is even a little anxious.It's just that he has a good relationship with Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi has always been a gentle brother in front of him, so he didn't show his ferocious side.But after all, they are all from the royal family, and Zhu Xi is not such a bastard who is not favored.Zhu Xi's desire to control should not be small.
Concubine Deng's move now is to tell Zhu Xi that Concubine Deng tamed her servants a few months after he left.
It doesn't matter if you want to tame the maids and servants under your command, but if you tame them in Zhu Xi's bedroom, something big will happen...
Zhu Xing would definitely not tolerate it, not to mention that Zhu Xing had already accumulated a lot of unhappiness in his heart?
As expected by Lu Changting, after seeing Concubine Deng, Zhu Xi immediately turned cold, and at the same time said with a sneer: "Concubine Deng is very capable, you can come in and out freely even if I am not in the bedroom."
Concubine Deng also realized her omission immediately, knelt down quickly, and said: "My lord, I beg you to forgive me, the concubine entered the bedroom only because of anxiety..."
It was a bad lie.
Because when Concubine Deng greeted her just now, she clearly had a smile on her face, how could she still smile when she was anxious?
"Then tell me, what kind of anxious reason will allow you to enter this king's bedroom?"
Not to mention the prince, even if it is an ordinary official's house, wives and concubines can't enter it, because there are likely to be private things in it, regardless of those who commit crimes, just normal officials, there may be things related to government affairs in it , These things must never be leaked out.Therefore, wives and concubines in ancient times were not eligible to enter the husband's bedroom and study.
If it is a prince, it is even more demanding than ordinary officials.
For example, have you ever seen a concubine who can stay in the emperor's palace?
Concubine Deng's actions naturally touched Zhu Xi's bottom line.
Concubine Deng knelt down and looked up at Zhu Xi, with tears in her eyes: "My lord knows, what else could it be? Bing'er said hell again."
