female concubine

"Concubine Donggong..."

The emperor looked at the kneeling and trembling servant and shouted: "Raise your head and speak!"

The servant hurriedly raised his head and spoke very quickly: "Concubine Donggong gave birth to a baby boy prematurely at [-]:[-] a.m., but half a quarter of an hour later, the emperor's grandson..." Then he bowed his head again in fear, "died young."

Xiao Youqing supported the emperor and quickly asked, "Where is the Crown Princess?"

"The sitting mother-in-law said that the Crown Princess is extremely weak, but she is not in danger of dying."

After hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief while being worried. In the early morning of that day, the emperor stopped court and the empress rushed to the East Palace to visit.

On March 21st in the late spring of the 21st year of Qianyuan, the concubine of the Eastern Palace gave birth prematurely to a baby boy, who died in the Eastern Palace within a day before being given a name.

After waking up in the East Palace, the Crown Princess fainted several times a day without seeing her child and repeatedly questioned her. The emperor ordered the doctor to stay in the East Palace.

Zhao Xipu trembled in the arms of the crown prince and blamed himself, "The concubine is guilty of failing to save the child."

The crown prince put down the medicine bowl, supported his wife and made her look at him, "What are you talking about, it should be me, I shouldn't go out, the empress has warned me that I should stay by your side during this time, It's me..." The Crown Prince cried with tears in his eyes, "We still have Chen'er, I won't allow you to blame yourself."

Zhao Xi leaned in the crown prince's arms in a daze and burst into tears, "He is still so young, he has just arrived in this world, and he hasn't had time to feel all this, why is God so cruel?"

"The emperor's grandson..." The crown prince put his hands on his wife and hugged his wife tightly, "Perhaps because God knows what it means after his birth, he can't bear to let him bear the pain of these superiors."

The crown princess grabbed the prince's clothes, "Aside from this surname, he is just an ordinary child."

After the death of the emperor’s grandson, all the ministers went to the East Palace and the palace to express their condolences. In addition to asking about the daily meal, the crown prince asked him to stop the banquet and listened to the lectures, and he was allowed to accompany the crown prince every day for the next few months. Decoction.

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

On the first day of April, Shuosan, guards of ceremonies lined up in the Zichen Hall, the living man and the living roomer held official files and stood under the second palace pillar carved with chi-shaped flower decorations on the left and right sides of the hall. There were more than ten female officials at a glance in the lineup.

The prime minister stepped forward and said: "The prince's son passed away and the ministers are deeply saddened. Please mourn your Majesty, and please take care of the world and take care of your body."

After the court meeting, the emperor left first, and then all the officials came out in order. The living room and the living man took turns to be on duty. On the first day, Zuo Shi followed the emperor to the Chuigong Hall to record his words and deeds.

The court officials saw a female officer beside them

Standing is very unaccustomed, the displeasure and contempt in my heart dare not be expressed, but the disdain in my eyes cannot be concealed no matter what.

It wasn't until they returned to the office that they dared to close the door and express their unhappiness. "Women can sit on an equal footing with men, stand in the courtroom and hold up half the sky. Our court is really aggrieved and unfortunate."

"The officials can violate the ancestral system and forcibly kill Jiang Yushi. He is still a child of the Jiang family, let alone you and me."

"Whatever the reform, what women's department, the official family is still the official family, it's just people of our class who are suffering."

"You said that if all the women become high-ranking officials in the future, wouldn't the men kneel down and worship their wives when they return home? There is no such thing as a husband kneeling down to his wife in this world. The husband respects his wife and the husband obeys his wife."

"It's a good thing my wife doesn't study and only targets female celebrities..."

"You're an old man. It's different now. The government subsidizes students, and both men and women study. Don't you want to take the imperial examination after studying? This shows how the future world will be turned upside down."

"Okay, because of the women's department, half of the officials in the DPRK and China have changed, and they should talk less and do more, so as not to be implicated. The Imperial City Secretary in Ouchi is known as clairvoyance."

——Changing Arch Hall——

He Wenying put down the file and knelt before the emperor's desk.

"Three yuan..." the emperor sat quietly, "I haven't had a three yuan in the 20 years since I ascended the throne, and now it falls on a woman, should I be happy or worried?"

"If His Majesty really cares about women, he will be happy."

"What is the purpose of your entry?"

He Wenying raised her head, "I don't have any purpose, I just want to rely on my own strength to do something for the women in the world. Your Majesty has given hope that women no longer have to be obedient and attached. I just don't like obedience and submission. .”

"I don't know what your ability is, but you can stand out from the crowd and win three yuan in a row, so you needn't say much. Remember what you said today."

"Yes."

"Go back, sir, I won't see the minister today."

He Wenying stood up and bowed to the emperor, "I will leave."

The emperor held a letter, "That's right," raised his head and said, "You should know that when you enter the court, you are the courtiers of the foreign court, and the courtiers of the foreign court are not allowed to have anything to do with the concubines in the harem, right?"

He Wenying backed up and stopped, then cupped her hands again, "I know."

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

By mid-April, the grief of the East Palace had not yet passed, and there was another sad news from Nanfang.

The post envoy reported the southern report to the servant, and the servant of Neidongmensi turned around and walked in quickly. The emperor's family was eating in the hall

, Qi Liumai entered the hall and forwarded the letter, "Officials, an urgent report from Hangzhou."

The emperor took the letter that Qi Liu had opened, Qi Liu raised his head and choked with sobs, and said, "Gonggong Gong Lu Taishi died of illness in Hangzhou on April [-]th, please mourn the officials."

The crown prince sitting next to the crown prince's dull eyes had long lost their former brilliance. After hearing the sad news, she could no longer hide the grief in her heart, so she stood up and blessed the emperor, "The bride is feeling unwell, please officials Leave the table with the saint's grace."

The Crown Prince quickly stood up and went to the side of the Crown Princess to support her, Xiao Youqing said, "I think I'm tired, Da Lang will take the bride down to rest."

"Yes."

The emperor looked down at the report in his hand again, "A while ago, the prefect of Hangzhou sent someone to inform the teacher that he was not in good health, and I even sent an imperial doctor to see him."

"Youth can't be with you forever. The time limit is approaching, and no one can get away from it. Duke Lu is already a very old age." Xiao Youqing walked to the emperor's side and put his hands on him to comfort him gently.

On April 21th, Qianyuan [-], Lord Gong Lu Wei died of illness. As soon as the news came out, the literary world was shocked and mourned. On the day of the funeral, the literati who sent off the spirit followed the coffin for several miles.

The emperor issued an edict to stop the court for seven days, and visited the Duke's mansion in person to express his condolences.

——Kunning Hall——

"Official family, an elegiac couplet made by Qi Jilang." The internal servant presented the memorial, "Qi Jilang is waiting in Funing Hall, saying that he is a courtier from the outer court and dare not go to the residence of the saint."

The emperor stopped his hand, took the booklet and opened it for a glance. The Qilu style used in the elegiac couplets was neatly written all over the booklet, "The handwriting is really good..." The emperor's eyes gradually became deep , then raised her head to look at a calligraphy and painting in the hall and put it in front of Xiao Youqing's desk, "The skill of her calligraphy is already going to surpass that of you and me."

Xiao Youqing put the sunspots in his hand back into the chess box, "It's just a picture, can it make officials jealous?"

"Although the willow script she used is covered with strokes, its style is very similar to yours. If you don't learn it deliberately, how can you do it." The emperor sat up, put his crossed legs down, put on his boots, and got up, " Then I knew that she came to court for you, people's eyes can't deceive, at least one kind can't."

"..."

——Funning Hall——

The emperor walked to the Funing Hall, and He Wenying waited in the courtyard, standing by the pool respectfully with his sleeves folded.

"All blessings, Your Majesty."

The emperor stepped aside from He Wenying's side and went straight into the main hall. After sitting down in front of the wooden couch, the servant lit the sandalwood in the incense burner.

"I read the elegiac couplet that Qing wrote for Duke Wen Zhen, and it is indeed talented."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"At the beginning of the Qianyuan period, the sage rewarded Qing with a pair of calligraphy. He never expected that in just 20 years, he would be able to learn it like a god."

He Wenying raised her head, and immediately lowered her sleeves and knelt down, "I have always admired the talents and learning of Her Majesty's mother, but regretted not being able to see it with my own eyes, and then I learned that Her Majesty passed on her mother, so I admired him in my heart."

"Admiration?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Is it really admiration?"

He Wenying tightened her pressed hands, "Yes, the minister and the queen are both women..."

"You are a son of an official. You have read poetry and books since you were young. It can be said that there are not many people in the court who can surpass you in learning and learning. You should also know about the fact that the gentry raises children. I have never been a magnanimous person. You can use the imperial examination And when you enter the court, I also have a way to transfer you away."

"Your Majesty!" He Wenying raised her buried head, "Your Majesty..."

"The most important thing in governing the world is the people. People's livelihood is the foundation of the country. The central government is the decision-maker, and the local government is the most important thing to be close to the people. If you have the heart, you will naturally be able to govern one side and benefit the people."

He Wenying no longer made a gesture of panic, "If your majesty has the heart, he will not transfer the minister away."

"Oh?" The emperor put his hand on the table and stared at He Wenying deeply.

"Your Majesty reformed the law, opened up territory and expanded the territory, and finally spent a lot of hard work to set up a women's department today, and the minister is the number one scholar in the first list of the women's department hand-picked by your majesty and the first ternary in your majesty's dynasty. If your majesty depreciates If you are a minister, what will those women who are about to become officials and those who want to become officials think? They will think that His Majesty still regards women as playthings, and most people can't see the essence and can only observe the surface. Fresh things need enough Only the perseverance and peace of mind can be stable.”

The emperor was not angry at the words of the new top scholar, "As expected of the Sanyuan of my dynasty, not to mention quick writing, even articulate."

"I have finished what I have to say. If Your Majesty insists on treating your admiration as something else," said He Wenying, "then please forgive me."

The emperor leaned closer to the table and clasped his index finger to support his chin, "What's wrong with Mr. Qi?"

"Your Majesty thinks that," He Wenying raised her head and opened her eyes wide, "with a coveted heart."

The emperor rolled his eyes and scanned the hall for a week before waving to everyone, "You all go down, I have something I want to talk to Qi Zilang alone."

Several Dianzhi and attendants with Futou

The emperor and the inner audience bowed and crossed their hands as the servant's salute, and left the hall backwards.

The emperor stood up on the stepping bed and walked to He Wenying with his hands behind his back, "If it was before, I would definitely let you go, at least disappear before my eyes, but it's different now," the emperor raised his brows, his eyes full of sadness, "A beauty relies on her beauty, and youth is in her prime..." Then she looked down at He Wenying.
