female concubine

Chapter 20 Keding Jue Family

Kaifeng House.

A scholar dressed in a shirt came in from Lanyue Building. He was young and handsome, with a bit of elegance, causing several women to rush forward to greet him.

"This petty official looks familiar, but is he a Juren from Qiuwei?"

The scholar looked up, and there were women who came over and tried to wrap their arms, but he pushed them away with a frown, "Someone is here to find Miss Liu."

"Looking for Si Niang?"

"Yes, please accommodate."

So a pavilion was vacated in the East Pavilion. Standing on the flying bridge connected to the pavilion, you can overlook the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

There is a different kind of piano sound from the attic, the tone is calm, and it is much more skilled than before.

"Si Niang's piano practice is almost better than mine." The woman sat in the scholar's arms, and the scholar played the piano, intertwining hands.

She smiled slightly, "It's also thanks to Liang Lang teaching me how to practice the piano when I was young."

The scholar pressed his palm on the strings and stopped, "Si Niang."

"Ok?"

"I was already a Juren, and I never thought that this time the Ministry of Rites submitted a certificate. There was a mistake in the roster. If this time is delayed, it will be another three years. You met the King of Chu. The King of Chu is a prince, and his master is the Imperial Academy..."

Mrs. Liu sat up straight, rather displeased, "Is it just for this purpose that Liang Lang came here?"

The scholar was stunned, and hurriedly explained, "No, Si Niang, listen to me..."

"Taizong has taught that the princes of this dynasty are not allowed to participate in politics. It's not that Liang Lang doesn't know the situation of King Chu. I don't want to trouble her."

The scholar lowered his head, "I see."

"Angry?"

The scholar shook his head, hugged her and smiled softly, "How could that be?"

After the autumn solstice, the winter solstice is approaching, and this year's grand court will be held on the winter solstice day.

Funing Hall.

"Grand court meeting is rare, this year's grand banquet should still be hosted by you."

"Thank you, His Majesty trusts you."

"There are no outsiders here. At home, you and I are just father and son."

"Yes, Daddy."

"I'm getting old. From now on, this business will still be guarded by you young people."

Wei Shu stopped the tea in his hand, raised his head, a trace of dissatisfaction that the emperor could not see flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Daddy, I will definitely do my best."

Order the tea and pour the soup seven times, at the end stir the tea lightly, take a spoon and divide the tea, "Daddy, the tea is ready."

Zhao Ci went forward to pick up a bowl and passed it to the emperor.

Taking advantage of the emperor's joy, "Daddy, son has been married for nearly ten years, and the East Palace has never been able to leave. It is son's fault that he can't let daddy enjoy family happiness, so son thinks, accept another good concubine."

The crown prince has already registered as a concubine, so Na Liangdi is not in any trouble, "Okay, who's girl?"

Wei Shu got up, stood in front of him and knelt down, "Shanyin Founding Earl's Mansion, please..."

— Kuang! ——The cup of tea milk was bitten, even though it was hit by the gravity of the table, it did not spill out.

But the prince was so frightened that he kowtowed and shut up.

The emperor sullenly said, "You three brothers, do you all have a soft spot for the daughter of the Li family?"

"Three?" Wei Shu raised his head, "Third brother?"

"Hmph! Sanlang asked me for a girl from the Li family to be his side concubine long ago."

"But I agreed to the noble concubine before..." The emperor looked up at the crown prince, "Sanlang is begging so hard again, what do you want me to do?"

Wei Shu lowered his head, and when he looked up again, his eyes were slightly red, "Daddy, the boy has never begged for anything from his father. The boy came out of the court at the age of 17 and promised his father to marry the princess. Before the mother came, she also told the boy to listen to what my father said, but Daddy, are you really so partial to third brother?"

The crown prince has always been obedient since he became an adult, and now his words made the emperor feel extremely guilty, "Well, I will send someone to Shanyin Earl's Mansion tomorrow to ask a question, and then I will answer you three."

The emperor didn't want to hurt the harmony between father and son, and just like before, he threw the hot potato to the courtier. Wei Shu knelt and crawled to the table and kowtowed, "Minister, I would like to obey the holy order."

------

"Isn't His Royal Highness going back to the East Palace?"

When he came out, the rosiness in the prince's eyes had long since disappeared, "Let's go to the Earl's Mansion of Shanyin first."

"But it's about Di Liang?"

"I didn't expect King Zhao to know how to win people over. I didn't get Xiao Youqing last time, so His Majesty won't let him down this time."

"The East Palace is also some distance away from Shanyin Earl's Mansion, and it's in Xincheng. If His Highness has something to do, just send someone a letter, why bother in person."

"If I don't go there in person, how can some people believe it!" Wei Shu smiled lightly, and got on the chariot, looking like a winner.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!" The Chu Jun came to the Earl's Mansion in Shanyin in person.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiaoyi, I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Li Duyu, please get up quickly." Wei Shu helped Li Xiaoyi up very politely.

"I don't dare to be a guilty minister, Your Highness is coming to the Earl's Mansion?" Li Xiaoyi didn't understand the purpose of the Crown Prince's visit, so he said cautiously: "Father is not in the mansion, Your Highness..."

"It's okay, I'm here to look for you this time, can I ask Li Duyu for a cup of clean tea?"

Li Xiaoyi understood, bowed his waist and stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, this way please."

The Earl's Mansion's study is in the east courtyard, and there are servants cleaning the dead leaves that fell from the winter trees.

A young man in luxurious clothes entered the study with the gentleman, and then someone came to chase them away, "Let's stop here for today, the gentleman is discussing with the nobleman, don't come near if you have nothing to do."

"Yes."

"Steward, who is the nobleman?"

"Where are there so many words, let you call it a day and leave, you just leave."

"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Si'er bowed his head and glanced at the study.

Li Xiaoyi brewed the tea himself, and served it respectfully after the tea was finished, "This year's new tea, Your Highness, please try it."

"Li Duyu is being polite."

"Your Highness, the guilty minister is no longer Du Yuhou."

"Could it be that Li Duyu never thought about reinstating his official position and stepping into court again?"

Although the crown prince's words touched Li Xiaoyi, he only got a sigh in return.

Wei Shu approached, "In this dynasty, the title is downgraded and inherited, not the title of the clan. The title will stop at the body, and the title will disappear after death. If Uncle Shanyin falls, then what should the Li family do in the future?"

Wei Shu held up his hands and walked to the closed window, "I know that you were wronged by the facts back then, and I also know that you really want to return to the court. As long as Li Duyu marries his daughter to me, I will let you go." You are my servant in the East Palace, if I ascend to the high position in the future, you will be the first and auxiliary hero, and I will let you be the chief of the Sanya!"

There are pillar shadows printed on the doors and windows, the protruding stone pillars resemble the heads of extremely human beings, and the shadows seem to flicker when coughing and pursing their mouths.

The eyeliner of the Shanyin Jue Mansion conveyed the news to Zhao Wang in detail that he had overheard under the door and window of the potential study.

King Zhao stared at the pearl, "Is that what the crown prince told Li Xiaoyi?"

"Yes, the villain heard it with his own ears."

"You go down first, and continue to watch the movement of the founding earl's mansion."

"Yes."

The doors and windows were opened and closed, King Zhao walked around the inside of the screen, bowed slightly to the person seated above, "Master."

Yao Shenwen sat quietly and blew on the tea soup, took a sip, put it down and said: "It seems that the prince is determined to win over the King of Chu."

"It's common sense for the prince to act like this, otherwise, how could the Zhengshitang take so much effort to invite the king of Chu back to Beijing and arrange the crown ceremony for him." Zhao Wang walked to his side and sat down.

Yao Shen asked: "Zhongshu is in charge, what is the crown prince lacking the most?"

"Military administration...military power? The crown prince wants to ease the relationship with the Xiao family through the king of Chu?" Zhao Wang suddenly came to his senses, beat his palms and said in shock: "If the crown prince takes the military power, wouldn't I..."

"The three kings have no hope of leaving the throne."

"No! The prince must not be allowed to succeed."

"Then please let the third king put down his grudge against his younger brother, and put down...Princess Chu."

"Didn't I put it down already? I begged my father to give me the granddaughter of Uncle Shanyin's family as a side concubine, but last time my father also gave the decision to the Xiao family in the same way. This time it is still..." King Zhao Clenching the hands on the table, "If the prince joins forces with the king of Chu and the prince takes the throne, then I..." opened my eyes, patted the table and said, "No, even if I don't win the king of Chu, I will never The prince cannot be allowed to succeed."

"So my lord, what should I do?"

King Zhao gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "If Li Xiaoyi wants to change his mind and agree, he needs a more serious reward than the East Palace, and what I can offer is the position of Concubine of the Palace... the position of Empress in the future."

"Is this the grudge that Master told me to let go of?" Wang Zhao looked at the old man sitting upright, and it turned out that he had already seen through it.

"The lower officials know that the three kings have long had the choice of concubine Yuan in their hearts, but now that it is done, the destiny cannot be violated. If you want to achieve a great cause, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible."

"What the master teaches is that the students understand."

"Come here, prepare the double geese, write a straw post, and prepare a generous gift. The king wants to go to the Earl's Mansion of Shanyin in person."

The light once again shined on the pavilions in Da Nei, the morning bell rang, the officials dispersed from the Chuigong Hall, and the emperor returned to the Wende Hall to review the memorials.

"Your Majesty, the memorial to the founding earl's mansion of Shanyin."

The servant's announcement made the Hanlin scholar beside the throne also stop the ink brush in his hand.

The emperor took the booklet, "It seems that the Li family doesn't want to wrong their daughter to be a concubine." Looking at Xiao Xianfu at the side, "I remember that Li Xiaoyi also worked with you, Xianfu."

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, that happened more than twenty years ago. At that time, I was just sent to Sanya by Emperor Taizong. Li Duyu was the number one scholar in martial arts, and I worked under him."

"The Li family's treason case is my fault." Then he ordered the Hanlin scholar who was waiting for the order below: "Shinan, draw up the order."

"Regarding the imperial edict regarding the granddaughter of Uncle Yin of Ceshan as Princess Zhao, you can read and write the beginning of the word, and send it to me after finishing writing..."

"Your Majesty..." Zhi Zhigao Zhou Shinan stopped preparing the rice paper, got up and walked in front of the emperor, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, old minister, His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and His Majesty is partial to the three kings in everything, so you are not afraid of His Majesty's cold heart?" ?”

The emperor raised his head and stared at Zhou Shinan with deep eyes.

"My son is also your own flesh and blood. Is dad really so partial that he wants to give everything to third brother?"

The emperor pressed his forehead, "They are all my sons, and I will naturally not be partial. Let's draw up another decree for the prince and announce it tomorrow morning."

In the winter of November in the seventh year of Jianping, the Ministry of Rites decreed that Li Xiaoyi's daughter in the Earl's Mansion of Shanyin was the Concubine Zhao Wangyuan, and announced to the world that she would get married in the spring of the following year.

In the early morning of the same day, in front of the Chuigong Hall, Zhongshu Sheren read the edict in court, "Under the door, the crown prince Wei Shu, who is getting older, has been in the throne for nineteen years, has no party, no party, and a kingly way. Now I order him to come out. Ban Wai Ting, from now on, will serve as Governor of Kaifeng."

The contents of the edict and the news of the marriage were quickly spread, and the contents of the mansion newspaper were all the same for several days.

The author has something to say: Concubine Yuan is the married wife, the original wife, the first official wife.

The dignity of concubines and concubines is very clear, as is the difference between regular wives and concubines.

Although Li Xiaoyi is a concubine, but his cousin is his daughter-in-law, if he has not lost his official position, his cousin is the daughter of an official (Du Yuhou is the official position of the San Ya, and the San Ya is the top of all military positions, the official is not small. ) is also reasonable to be a regular wife.

The prince was dissatisfied because there was an extra word in what the emperor said.
