female concubine

Only when the emperor left the Shangfu Bureau did the female historians dare to enter.

There is still a faint fruity fragrance in the bedroom of the Kunning Palace. Sun's family entered the Shang Palace and became the head of the six monks, and Shangfu was replaced by a female official who was originally subordinate.

"What kind of bun is your Highness wearing today?" Nushi asked cautiously.

"Today is Zhengdan, the officials will come back after being congratulated by the court, so let's follow the banquet. It is not appropriate to be too festive when the first emperor left soon."

"Yes."

The palace servants walked into the pavilion and stood outside the curtain, "His Royal Highness, Sun Shanggong, please see me."

"Alright, let Shang Gong wait in the main hall."

"Yes."

After washing up, Xiao Youqing sat on the wooden couch.

"Shang Gong Sun has met Her Highness the Empress, wishing her a long and boundless life." The palace staff forwarded the New Year's greetings from the Six Shang Bureau.

"According to His Highness's instructions, the congratulations of the first emperor's new funeral this year and his wife entering the palace at Zhengdan will be omitted. This is the Duzhi of the Liushang Bureau for the whole year of last year. Please have a look at it." The palace attendant took the brochure and forwarded it.

"Those who trouble Sun Shanggong during the Chinese New Year will also take care of the housework for me."

"It's the job of a minister to do things for His Highness." Sun Shanggong said again: "The official family has not long been enthroned, and the six palaces are still empty, and the annual expenditure is less than half of the previous emperor's time."

Xiao Youqing closed the booklet and raised his eyebrows: "The sixth palace is still empty..."

"The officials dote on His Highness..."

"What kind of person does Sun Shanggong think I am?" Xiao Youqing interrupted Sun Shanggong's words.

Sun Shanggong raised his head and then raised his hem and knelt down, "The saint's mother respects the world, is kind and generous, and is easy-going. Even if the palace people make mistakes, they never criticize them. They are a model of life in the country and abroad."

"Sun Shanggong is wrong, I am not generous, I don't care about anyone or anything, but only the officials can't, I will always remember the promises made by the officials, all the people in the inner palace Women are all around the official family, if I don't care, it doesn't matter how many concubines I have in the official family, but I care about my husband."

"Your Highness?" Sun was surprised.

"I know what Sun Shanggong wants to say, it's about love, it's about courtesy, the official family is the father of the world, but I don't owe her anything, there are some things in my heart that are not suitable to share with others."

"Can…"

"I am not afraid that my remarks will be impeached by foreign courtiers. What I rely on is not Xiao and Jiang, but the trust and affection given by the officials."

"The official family is the best official family since the founding of the country, and Her Royal Highness the Empress is also the best His Royal Highness. The harmony between the emperor and empress is the blessing of all people in the world."

----------

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Daqing Hall performed nineteen worships and three dances, and all the officials were in court clothes.

The servant called, "Your Majesty is here."

The palm fans lined up on both sides of the throne, and the officials below the head of the pavilion gate row bowed to the emperor in the north. After waiting for the name of the servants to be announced, the saluting officials shouted loudly: "Bai."

All the officials straightened up to wat for three dances, first bent their left knee and kowtowed three times, and bowed again when they came out of the wat.

"Goodbye."

After two prostrations, he bowed and stood on the wat. The minister, who was the head of the ranks of civil and military officials, played to the emperor: "I wish your majesty the holy bow and all blessings."

The old man's voice echoed in the hall without losing his temper.

Baiguan once again bowed his knees and worshiped twice. After getting up, the Privy Council all ordered to climb the steps of the palace, and the prime minister went out to bow down again. , The holy emperors are everywhere, follow the people and meet the sky, the three leaves are united and the light is heavy, the Tai begins to open the Hongji, the bright sun and the moon, the four o'clock, the universe is clear and peaceful, Li Shuxian and Yongxi."

After the prime minister’s speech, all officials will pay homage again, and the worship and dance will be the same as before. The Privy Council has obeyed the emperor’s decree and went to the railing to play loudly, “Your Majesty has control!”

The ministers knelt down and bowed twice again, got up and stood up, and congratulated the emperor in order. The emperor's left and right servants transferred the words, "The celebration of the new year is the same as that of the public."

After chanting and answering, worship and dance again, the same as before, no less than nineteen times.

After the court congratulations, the emperor and his ministers all withdrew to change their costumes, and a Yuanchen banquet was held in the hall.

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

"If the officials continue to do this, they can wear their own clothes."

In the past, the person who returned to the side hall to change clothes pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly before taking off his clothes. Rather than hugging her now, it seemed that he just wanted to lean on her and sleep.

"I'm too sleepy. Sitting in the Daqing Palace just now, if the six sons hadn't reminded me, I would almost have fallen asleep."

"Yuanchen Chaohe, how can the official family fall asleep?"

"I can't sleep watching a group of mainstays of the dynasty dancing and dancing..."

"It's strange to say that the courtiers bow down to the king when they meet the king, and the worship dance has been done for hundreds of years. It is complicated and useless."

"It's because Hu Feng has been popular since the Five Hushuanghua Dynasty. This ceremony was especially popular in the previous dynasty. After the founding of Emperor Tai.

"Don't move." Xiao Youqing gently patted her dishonest hand away, and added two more bedding for her in the light yellow robe, and tied a jade red belt with a single tail around her waist. Also wrapped in clothes extremely bloated.

It's like stuffing those children with weak resistance into a bun in winter, "Is my sister taking care of the child?"

Xiao Youqing's belted hands gradually wrapped around her waist, and said softly against her back: "Yes, a big child who doesn't grow up, but he is the father of all people in the world."

"I'm not your lord, nor your husband, nor your official minister." Wei Huan gently shook her hand and said, "I'm my sister's man, my beloved."

Because of what she said, Xiao Youqing subconsciously hugged her tightly, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, she didn't want to let go.

"Saint, it's time to go, you go with me to the big banquet of the previous court."

"Okay." Xiao Youqing let go of his hands, "The officials forgot to change their boots again."

Her feet were still the black leather shoes she wore when she was wearing court clothes, Xiao Youqing ordered someone to bring a charcoal basin, put Zao Wenqian aside and stuffed a hand stove for her, "Roast your feet first before wearing them, today is your lazy bed , I was afraid that it would be too late, so I hurriedly let you go."

Touching the cold hands, Xiao Youqing frowned and said: "This blood deficiency disease has been treated for so long, and when it comes to winter, your hands and feet are like ice, no matter how you cover them, you won't be able to warm them up."

Wei Huan looked at the normal face in front of the bronze mirror, "I think it's almost healed."

"The official said that he spent a day and a night in the Wei River, and the concubine can still dream about it. The pain is not the wound, but the concubine's heart."

Wei Huan held the stove firmly with one hand, stretched out his right hand to hold Xiao Youqing's wrist, and pulled her to sit beside him, "No one has ever been so kind to me, never, not even the empress."

"The officials didn't find out that the empress is actually a stubborn person, but the life in the deep palace smoothed the empress's heart."

Wei Huan nodded and said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to everything, family affection, friendship, and love for Wu Zong, there is always one thing that will be inclined. When Empress Xianming was on a grand trip, I saw her eyes for the first time. There is hatred for the emperor in it."

"I was born with the blessing of Her Royal Highness, but her eldest son..."

"It's his own fault. In the final analysis, it was all caused by the late emperor. What does it have to do with the officials?" Xiao Youqing held her hand instead, "The concubine only wants the officials to be good. No matter what means, Youqing will I just hope that Ah Qian can live happily, and my concubines are not as kind and benevolent as those in the inner palace say, I have selfishness and partiality, if I want to be an official, even if I kill innocent people and bleed for thousands of miles, I will not be soft."

"Officials can give me their preference, so I too, no matter what others say, you are the best in my eyes."

Wei Huan stretched out his other hand in his wide sleeve, and lightly rubbed it on her face, "Actually, I am the most blessed person."

"Report to the official family." The waiter bowed and stood behind the curtain, "The province has prepared all the tables for the banquet, and the Shangshi Bureau has also served preserved fruits and tea and wine first."

Listening to the servant's announcement, the emperor ordered to the curtain: "Now that you are ready, let's start the banquet earlier."

"Yes."

Wei Huan bowed his waist and rolled up his sleeves, picked up the newly made soap paper, put it on and held Xiao Youqing's hand and stood up, "Let's go."

"The officials help the ministers and concubines to see if the hair crown is not messy, but can it still get in the eyes?"

The emperor's eyes were imprinted on the girl's hairpin gown, and he smiled softly: "My wife is the most beautiful girl in the world, so naturally she looks good in everything she wears."

"It's just that the officials are the most talkative. The officials used to coax little girls like this."

"That's how I can fool you."

"In this way, the officials want to deceive but can't deceive them?"

"I didn't say..."

"Then the official family will go back to Funing Hall to sleep tonight."

"Oh my sister," Wei Huan caught up with Xiao Youqing and pulled up her sleeves, "Now I only say good things about my sister when I meet people, not only that, but I will also say it in court in the future."

"Don't, when the time comes, others will think that the concubine is a jealous woman."

"The lady is definitely not, but I have never felt that there is nothing wrong with being jealous. If you feel resentful or jealous, it is because you care because you like it. If you ask a person you don't like to marry you, how many wives and concubines do you marry? Will she know?" care?"

""The Commandments for Women" teaches people the three obediences and four virtues. It is just to satisfy men's desires. What they want is not a wife. It's the same between men and women, but this book is extremely biased." As she spoke, she became more and more dissatisfied, tilting her head sideways, "I'm not used to it!"

Xiao Youqing turned around and took her hand closer, "Okay, why did you talk so well and became sullen again? My mother never asked me to read that book. The child in Xiao's house said later that the day my father married my mother Immediately, I promise to all the people in Tokyo that the eldest son of the Xiao family will only have a first wife in this life."

"In front of the whole city?"

"Yes, on the day my mother got married, more than a dozen streets nearby were blocked, including... King Qi who had accepted his side concubine." Xiao Youqing let go of her hand and put her headband on straight. We must first enlighten the people's wisdom, first from cognition to habit, and then slowly change the government order, step by step."

Touching her face again, she said tenderly, "Speaking of which, I don't want you to rush for quick success because I'm afraid."

Wei Huanhuan put his arms around her, and immediately led her out of the toilet, "Don't worry, sister, I've endured life and death for ten years, and it's not too late."

----------

The officials and the royal family members changed their clothes to the Daqing Hall for the banquet.

"The holy driver is here!"

Apart from the emperor, there was also the queen with him. The officials got up and left their seats and walked to the center of the hall, "I wish you all the blessings, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen."

"Today, Zhengdan gave this state banquet to celebrate with all the princes. One yuan will start again, I will ascend the throne at the beginning, and the new one will be abolished for a hundred generations. Everything will depend on the assistance of the princes. Together, we will rule forever."

All the ministers knelt down, "The ministers and others would like to obey the holy edict."

"Empress, come." Wei Huan turned around and took Xiao Youqing's hand and sat down. The servants of the courtiers stepped forward and shouted: "Let the banquet!"

All the ministers returned to the seats where their official titles were written, and the sun was shining on the blue bricks and green tiles outside the hall. At both ends of the Daqing Hall, palace servants and servants from the Six Shang Bureaus entered with imperial wine.

The seats were covered with preserved fruit and mutton in various ways, and no one dared to move the emperor without speaking.

"Try this."

The waiter took the plate of preserved meat she had picked up and presented it to Xiao Youqing's table.

"Beef breast?"

"There are also rabbit breasts. Most of the forbidden meat is mutton. I'm afraid you will get bored..."

The servant bowed close to remind him, "Your Majesty, it's time to give wine."

"The state banquet is a banquet where the emperor and his ministers get along without the court meeting. The ancestors held a banquet on festivals not only for celebration but also for the reason of controlling people. His majesty is no exception."

Wei Huan turned sideways and lowered his voice, "It's not that I don't know the reason, but if the king is too easy-going, he will encourage his ministers to let his ministers do whatever they want. I don't want to rule alone, but their ideas really don't fit with me."

"It's not an option for His Majesty to leave them alone, let alone the elders of the clan."

The courtiers at the small tables under the throne looked at the throne and at the colleagues beside them.

"Is Your Majesty dissatisfied with our appointment last year?"

The officials in charge of the three divisions stood together and looked at the head of the squad at the front, "You said that Ji Xiang refuted His Majesty's request last time. Although His Majesty didn't say anything on the surface, will you always hold grudges in your heart?"

"Hush." ​​The official rolled his eyes sideways, "The deputy envoy is the uncle of Her Highness the Empress, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble for the third division."

The emperor on the Mingtai beckoned, and the servant stepped forward, and immediately played to the ministers: "Your Majesty has an order, give wine."

The wine poured from the wine jug by the palace servants is red in color, and the aroma of the wine is overflowing during the filling process, and the guards holding the pumpkin hammer can smell it even if they are far away.

"This wine was sent by an envoy sent by the Tubo king when I ascended the throne. Today, I drink this wine with you to celebrate the New Year."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine."

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

From dusk to the end of the evening banquet, the officials returned drunk with hairpins and many rewards, among which the most were fresh adult goats.

"Congratulations to Deputy Shu for being awarded the crown prince's young teacher. He is also the enlightened teacher of Shouchun County King. He must not be far away from being a secretary." The drunken minister was supported by his family boy, staggering and unable to walk After seeing Han Si, he still didn't forget to say a few words of flattery.

The attendant picked up the Luan Zhihua that had fallen from the owner's head and reinserted it.

Han Bang paused, turned around with his official uniform sleeves closed, "Deputy Envoy Yantie is drunk."

Compared with Han Bang's soft voice, the voice coming out from the side is more energetic, "I was so drunk at the state banquet that officials don't even want the dignity of scholar-officials? Why don't you help the master back soon?" Sober up."

The official turned his head and saw that he was covered in green under the light, so he became more courageous, "You have a green robe..." The official pushed away the hand that was supporting the attendant, "I'm not drunk! The most rare thing is that there are only a few people who received this honor during their lifetime."

The attendant held the lantern and leaned towards the master's ear with a blue face and reminded, "The official is the Zuo Sijian." The rank of the officials in the remonstrance court is not high, but those who enter the court to serve in the remonstrance court must not surrender their orders and serve as courtiers. Special attention is given to history.

The green robe held the lantern of Jianyuan with a displeased face, "Hurry up and help him go."

"Su Si, please don't be so fierce. The deputy envoy just drank a few more glasses because of the banquet given by His Majesty."

"As a courtier, guessing about the emperor without authorization is equivalent to having a ghost in his heart. Will this kind of person stay in the third division and do his duty faithfully?" Zuo Sijian clasped his fist at Han Si and shook his wrist. I will not let down the trust of the official family, the official family has something else to do, so excuse me."

"Go slowly." Han Bo nodded lightly, and when the people had walked almost far away, the attendant came forward with a lantern, "How dare this Zuo Sijian speak so rudely at such a young age?"

Han Bang smiled lightly and said: "He is the champion of the new discipline, and he is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, but he is a bit of a psychic."

The author has something to say: Announcing the name: Announcing the name aloud.

Announcing and answering: the ministers congratulate or meet the emperor, and the emperor makes the ministers answer with words

Both of them are very possessive, but the elder sister will not show it clearly in front of her (and a little arrogant)

The empress is very busy, and she takes care of the most senior and inner wives. Of course, the elder sister will not just be a good queen in the inner palace.

Unlocks the Qianyuan reform.

In the family banquet in the previous chapter, Princess Wu Guochang actually didn’t believe that the official family would really fall out with the Lu family because of her. The main reason is that everyone knew how the official family took the throne. It means that the official career is hindered, and it became a rule in the later period for the princess to descend to the military general, so she will also receive the false title of governor at the same time as the captain of the son-in-law. ) Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2020-05-1320 30:41:2020~05-1408-12:10:[-]~
