female concubine

On New Year's Eve, year-old tributes from all over the world were sent to the ban, most of which were local specialties. There were several plates of year-old tribute goose pears in the Kunning Palace.

In addition to pears, the table was also filled with various powdered ambergris, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, etc. in porcelain plates. Gong Renzun ordered to bring a small copper scale from Shang Yao Bureau.

Wei Huan was wearing a light yellow robe. As soon as he stepped into the Kunning Hall, he saw a servant entering first. There seemed to be a dagger in the tray in his hand. He quickly chased after her and asked, "What are you doing with the knife?"

The courtiers following behind the emperor stepped forward vigilantly, frightening the calm man so much that he almost lost control of the tray in his hand, knelt down with shaking legs and kowtowed while offering the tray: "The official, it's His Royal Highness who said that the official's chest is tight recently. I am troubled by the affairs of the former court and often cannot sleep well, so if I want to make incense, the villain is following His Highness's order to get the dagger."

Qi Liu picked up the tray on the ground, "Okay, you go down first."

----------

"There are countless battles in this inner palace, and there are also many assassinations..."

Looking at the nervous man, Xiao Youqing covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, it's just a dagger that scares you. Even if he wants to use this to assassinate, he may not be able to succeed with the concubine."

"The saint learned martial arts from the marshal when he was young, and the officials may not have seen it before." Zhao Ping gently placed the porcelain mold on the table.

"Oh? Now that you say it like this, I really want to see the heroic appearance of the queen with my own eyes."

"Officials, don't listen to Kui Guang talking too much." Xiao Youqing called to stop her, and said to Zhao Ping, "Go down first."

"Yes."

Stretching out his sleeves, Wei Huan leaned down and saw the incense powder on the table, and said with a smile, "What kind of incense does the sage want?"

"It's made to help the officials sleep."

Wei Huan looked down at the fruit plate on the table, "The fragrance of the goose pear tent?" He immediately picked up a pear, which was covered with spots. , is the sect of all fruits."

"It's the incense in Li's tent in the south of the Yangtze River." Xiao Youqing opened a book on incense and handed it to Wei Huan, "Steaming agarwood and sandalwood with goose pears can add a touch of fruity fragrance to the incense, which can calm the nerves and relieve depression. .”

"Soothe the nerves and relieve depression..." She put down the pear, sat up from the high chair, walked to Xiao Youqing's side and slowly crawled down, "No fragrance can compare to the peace you bring when you are by my side."

"There are so many things in the previous court, and the courtiers and concubines can't be by the official's side all the time, can you be less angry? They are all veterans who have lived for decades, and their stubborn thoughts are beyond the control of others." Xiao Youqing Huafa was found when combing her hair, especially during the year of enthronement.

"Okay, I'm not angry with them or with myself." Wei Huan stretched out his hand and wrapped one of his sleeves to pick up the scale, "I'll weigh the incense for Ah Xi."

"The spices are all ground into powder, do the officials recognize them?"

"It doesn't matter if I recognize it or not. Anyway, it's enough for my wife to recognize her."

"Slick tongue." Xiao Youqing took out a dagger to remove the stalks and pits of the pears, and then jumped out and put the plates with different colors together, "You can recognize it by the color and taste, and the weight of the required spice powder is written in the book .”

"Okay." The emperor gently rolled up his sleeves and flipped through the book, "Agarwood powder is ten taels."

"Sandalwood powder costs a penny."

"Ten hollowed out pears." Cut the top of the goose pear crosswise, remove the core, and hollow out the middle like making orange stuffed crabs. Xiao Youqing mixed the weighed fragrant powder into the pear weng and covered the top of the pear, ready to use Use a small stick to fasten the top of the pear.

"Happy spring, happy autumn."

Two female envoys who were not registered in the palace walked into the inner blessing body, "All blessings to the officials and saints."

"Send this to steam, and remember to steam it three times after it cools down."

"Yes."

Afterwards, some palace servants and servants entered with small, gentle steps and began to clear the table, and the servants brought hot water for washing hands.

Xiao Youqing helped her to stand up, and flicked her sleeves that had just fallen to the ground, "The incense needs to be steamed three times, so the officials should go to take a bath and change their clothes on New Year's Eve tonight."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, some palace servants withdrew from the palace and turned around to buy clothes.

"Okay." Wei Huan bowed his waist and hugged the person who was dusting her.

"There are so many people watching." There were a few insiders on the side of the case who were busy tidying up, so Xiao Youqing turned his head in embarrassment.

"It's not the first time, let's see."

The emperor left with the empress in his arms, and several palace people let out a sigh of relief, "The relationship between the saint and the official family is really good, even ordinary people's family may not be able to do this, right?"

"A sage with both ability and political integrity, and he was born in a noble family. If I were a man, I would like it too."

"I'm a woman and I like it too. Why do I have to be a man? Who wouldn't like a woman like a sage?"

"Too."

"How dare you call a saint."

"The official family is also good. The calligraphy and paintings in His Highness's room, and the peach charms on the door are all gifts from the official family. It is rare for a man to be devoted to the emperor, especially the emperor."

"It's too early to use the word dedicated, but the saint must be the special one."

"It is a great blessing for you and me to be able to serve as errands in Kunning Hall and follow such a good master."

"You guys," the palace official in charge of Kunning Palace put the unused incense powder in the dish into the jar, "don't rely on the saint's generosity and kindness to be bold enough to talk about everything, talk less and do more."

"Yes."

------------------------------------

After bathing and changing clothes, the goose pears were steamed. There was a family feast on New Year's Eve today, so the two of them changed into regular clothes.

Putting on the red clothes, she couldn't do it herself, so she ordered Xiqiu, "Remove the outer skin of the goose pear, put it in a stone ladle, and grind it to make it evenly blended with the powder, pour it into a porcelain mold, press it, and take it away." Let dry."

"Yes."

A group of palace people from the Six Shang Bureau walked into the Kunning Hall.

"All blessings to the official family, someone from Shangshi Bureau said that the dinner is ready."

"The eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty, and several eldest princesses and concubines have already entered the palace." The emperor's aunt, Princess Zheng, who supported him to supervise the country at the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, became the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom.

"Send someone to invite the empress to come over."

"Yes."

"Wait, I'll go by myself."

-----------------------------------

Coming out of Deoksugung Palace, the servants carried the shoulder chariot together.

"This is the official's first family banquet since he came to the throne. The official has seen a lot of how the late emperor did it. Now that the official is the emperor, he can no longer be as willful as before."

"My son knows that the eldest princesses are all sons and his elder sisters are elders. Today is just an ordinary family feast."

"The old man is now retiring to Deoksugung Palace. It is better for the queen to take care of the official affairs and the trivial matters of the inner palace."

"Your Majesty, the Empress is always worried about my affairs."

Xiao Youqing took her hand and nodded lightly to Empress Dowager Li, "I understand."

Only the King of Chu remained among the six sons of the late Emperor, and only a few princesses remained among the adult heirs. The King of Chu was the youngest, and the eldest princesses were all married.

"The concubine has met the official family, Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, Her Royal Highness the Empress."

Wei Huan helped his mother to sit down, and then helped the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, "Aunt, uncle."

"The official family is thinner than before."

"Things pile up at the end of the year. I and my ministers have been busy for half a month, and I was free a few days ago." Considering her age, the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom is much older than the Queen Mother Li, and the emperor helped her to her seat. superior.

"It's good for officials to care about the country, but they should also take care of their own bodies."

"Yes, I will definitely remember my aunt's instructions." After helping the eldest princess to sit down, she said to everyone: "Everyone sit down, today is just an ordinary family banquet, don't stick to etiquette."

"Yes."

In addition to the adults, there are also children, teenagers, and girls in Zha Zongjiao on each table.

Seeing that Princess Wu's son-in-law did not come and only her two daughters came, the emperor stepped forward and asked, "Is this Zhen Er and Yan Er?"

Without waiting for the mother to speak, the older sister took the younger sister to salute, "I have seen uncle and aunt."

"Zhen Er has grown up so much now."

"Uncle, Yan'er has grown up too." The girl with deciduous teeth spoke tenderly.

Wei Huan bent down and touched her bun, "Okay, our Yan'er has grown up too," and then said to Liu Zi, "Liu Zi, bring some fried preserved fruits and pastries."

"Yes."

Several children came forward one after another.

"The officials are kind, and the children like it when they see it."

"Father, mother, grandma." The belated boy cupped his hands in a sigh of relief.

The cold winter wind pierced the bones, and the boy's nose was red from the cold. Xiao Youqing stepped forward, "Where did you go crazy again?"

Little Wei Zongren's one-year-old Zhao Xi walked up to his brother to protect him, "Auntie, don't blame brother Ren, it was Xi'er who dragged him to make him late."

Xiao Youqing was stunned, she knew Zong Ren's temperament best, so she gently touched the girl's head, "Okay, Auntie doesn't blame him," and said to his panting son: "Take your sister to the seat , your aunt and sister Chen are also here."

Wei Huan looked at the emptiness of the seat, "Where is the son-in-law?"

"Forgiveness from the officials," Princess Wu said to the emperor, "The son-in-law is in poor health, so he didn't come here because he was afraid of disturbing the interest of the officials."

Zhao Zhen retorted with almond pancakes: "Mother lied, obviously he was too scared to come, yet mother still favored him, it was because of mother's partiality that he made such progress."

Everyone in the room looked at it in shock, the girl's tone was actually talking about her biological father.

Xiao Youqing glanced at Wei Huan and led the children back to their seats.

Wei Huan raised his brows, "Zhen Er is a sensible child and can see clearly. My sister has two such good daughters, so I have to make plans for them. No matter when this is my sister's home, my sister is Princess Guo is my own sister, so don't let yourself be wronged."

Princess Wu took a deep breath, bowed her body and said, "I thank the officials for their concern."

---------------------------------------

On New Year's Eve, the forbidden banquet is just like ordinary people's homes. During the banquet, there are only booing and asking for warmth, and there are drinking orders to add to the fun. The emperor writes poems for the order of the order, and other people continue the order according to the meaning of the first order. In terms of content and form, it is consistent with the first order, and the response is immediate. If you can't answer, you will be punished with a drink.

After a few rounds, no one fined them for drinking, and the eldest princesses looked at the boy who was at the corner of the seat, "His Royal Highness teaches children well, and Da Lang has such talent at such a young age that we can be aunts." It's better to sigh."

"His homework is now being taught by Deputy Han Shu."

In a residence in the old city, the son-in-law's Duwei's mansion is deserted except for the lights that stay on all night. The son-in-law is not in the house, but in another courtyard in the new city, drinking and singing.

A charcoal basin is burning in the small courtyard, the hostess is lying on the mat, singing and dancing in the courtyard.

There were a few prostitutes brought in from the city to play music and play the piano, "The eldest princess has a younger brother who is an official, how dare this son-in-law dare to be so presumptuous?" The ladies' attendants waited aside, watching the drunken people whispering road.

"So what if the eldest princess has a younger brother who is an official? Can the officials take care of so many people? Besides, the Lu family has been the prime minister's son-in-law for several generations. Now there is an uncle who is the prime minister. Even if the officials know I will definitely take care of it."

On the first day of the first lunar month in the second year of Qianyuan, the Kaifeng government ordered the customs to be released for three days. The residents of the city put on new clothes early in the morning and took their children out to the neighbors' homes to celebrate the New Year with each other.

The cabinet workshops in the streets and alleys of the capital are the busiest these days. As soon as Guanpu opened, there were servants shouting loudly at the gate of the cabinet early in the morning, calling for people to come in and Guanpu.

The first ray of sunshine in the new year shone into Kunning Hall, Xiao Youqing opened his eyes, turned sideways to look at the person who was still sleeping, "Ah Qian, get up."

Wei Huan moved his body and put his arms around her waist close to him, "There is no court meeting this year, and the big banquet is also in the afternoon. Will my sister not be sleepy after tossing all night?"

"The officials have been tossing all night and still blame the concubines?"

"..." Suddenly felt the pain in the neck like being bitten by an ant, and then being bullied again, Xiao Youqing turned his head and pushed gently, "Stop making trouble."

She laughed and said, "Who made trouble?"

"Get off me first."

"Oh." The dazed man propped himself up from her body, ready to get up.

Xiao Youqing suddenly grabbed her loose skirt, "Are you so obedient?"

"Huh?" Wei Huan put down the hand that lifted the curtain, and leaned over with a smile, "Oh, sister is not willing?"

Xiao Youqing embraced her neck and turned over to press her, "Yes, yes, I can't bear it." Then he sat up from her, "It's just that today is Zhengdan, and all the officials are still waiting in the Daqing Hall to congratulate the officials on the new year. .”

"I had someone replace the hairpin flowers prepared by the Dianzhong Province with silk flowers, which were woven according to the appearance of real flowers. In the past, those ministers wore dozens of flowers on their heads because they were real flowers, and they were easy to be damaged. This imperial flower they also gave Don't dare to be negligent, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are busy picking up the fallen hairpin flowers, what kind of words do you want to spread?"

Wei Huan got up and put his arms around her waist, "My wife is still careful."

"Get up, officials, and my concubine will do your makeup for you."

"it is good."

There are many makeup boxes and a small sunken bronze mirror in front of the mirror stand.

The person in the mirror is covered with black hair, and there are two scars that are no longer obvious on the side of his face, but his facial features become more and more like a person as he grows older.

"Second brother was only this old when he died, so it's no wonder His Highness the Crown Princess would regard me as him."

The woman behind him skillfully pulled up her blue hair, "I don't really remember what the second king looks like, do you look alike?"

Wei Huan touched his face, "Not at all, it's just a matter of heart."

Xiao Youqing took Gu Fu into the room, "Last night, the people from the Shangfu Bureau ordered Gu Fu to use the incense in the goose pear tent to relieve your depression."

She was not in a hurry to change clothes but hugged him into her arms and smelled the fragrance on the middle sheet, "The fragrance of the Jiangnan Li master's tent is sweet but not greasy, and there is a little fruity fragrance in the sandalwood, which is very pleasant to smell." Shu Xin," and then smiled and lowered his head to her ear with a hoarse voice: "But the reason why this emperor likes it so much, I think, is not because of its unique smell, but because this incense is a small incense stick that is easy to burn. Created after the Zhou Dynasty, the lover is also the bird on the house."

The author has something to say: Song system: the princess is the princess of the country, the emperor's aunt is called the eldest princess, the emperor's sister is called the eldest princess, the emperor's daughter is called the princess, the king's daughter is called the county master, and the king's granddaughter is called the county master.

Princess Wu Guochang is the former second princess, and also a distant relative of Sister Xiao (not too far away)

The following is personal nagging and can be ignored.

The author Jun Anli went to see Qing Pingle’s angry little cutie. I’ll give you a pat. I mainly appreciate the way of persuasion in it. I haven’t read the novel so I don’t know the plot, but I know the history. I thought that when I saw the trailer It will be the kind of drama of governing the country, but thinking about it, the Renzong Dynasty did not have any outstanding achievements.

In fact, I think it is not the feudal ethics that make people oppressive, but that they are born as human beings and use them to oppress others. Many times, people born in that era, especially women, know that it is unequal but they can do nothing about it. I wrote in my previous book I have written, "Women's Commandments" was written by Ban Zhao, and its content of teaching women to obey is really——

The Song Dynasty especially respected the Zhou, Han, Tang, and Three Dynasties, so it paid great attention to etiquette. (I don’t like Zhou. In fact, I don’t like Jiang Ziya. I’m just complaining about it, because from this dynasty onwards, it’s really a man. As for women... Women in the Shang Dynasty can be officials, command troops, even have territories and serve as officials. priest.)

The princesses in Song and Ming dynasties were very miserable, because they obeyed women's morals, and the emperor was proud of the princess's respect for women's morals (what kind of messy women's morals are obviously oppression)

Song Shenzong's younger sister, Princess Shu, married Wang Shen (this guy is Su Shi's friend, and there are still paintings hidden in the museum) and took several concubines (the kind that the concubine's room bullied the princess's head). Serve aunt (in-laws) very filially. The princess is sick. This guy is in front of the sickbed with his concubine... Later, Shenzong found out that he was relegated to a local place. Then the princess was seriously ill. Shenzong went to visit and the first thing Shenzong asked his brother to do was to let the son-in-law come back and recover. Position——In the end, when Shenzong found out, he just demoted again and again. Those concubines were pitiful, and the princess was even more pitiful.

I don't think school will start...but I've been busy with my own business recently and haven't coded, so all you see are saved manuscripts~
