female concubine

In Chu Wangfu.

"The princess's pulse has been stable recently, her body has recovered very well, and her energy is much better than before."

"Sure enough, as long as people are happy, even their health will improve a lot."

"My lord..." The deputy medical officer put away his gear and stepped back a few steps, raised his head and looked at King Chu hesitantly.

The king of Chu understood, and waved to Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu nodded and led the rest of the people back, and sent away the people in the yard.

The King of Chu walked up behind Princess Chu, and put his hand on her shoulder lightly, "They are all from my own family. From now on, when you see the princess, you will see this king. Don't hide anything if you have anything to do."

The deputy medical officer glanced at Princess Chu, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Doctor Yang asked the subordinates to tell the prince that everything in the East Palace and Prince Zhao's Mansion is as usual, and the same is true at His Majesty's place. As for the pulse case, Doctor Yang said that he dare not, Doctor Yang said that since the prince can pass it on to the lower officials, he can trust the lower officials, so it shouldn't matter if the dictation is conveyed by the lower officials."

The King of Chu nodded, and then asked in a harmonious voice, "Is Uncle Sun's other courtyard comfortable?"

Deputy Envoy Sun raised his head in a daze, then knelt down immediately, "My lord is so disgruntled that I don't dare to be an official."

"If it wasn't for Uncle Sun, this king would have died 12 years ago, so how could it be possible now? This king has never forgotten Uncle Sun's kindness. In today's situation, Uncle Sun is an imperial doctor, so he should You can see clearly that it was not Wei Qian's original intention to involve uncle in danger."

"The lower official has received the favor of the noble concubine, and now he is also receiving the favor of the prince. He dare not wait for work to protect himself, let alone put the two masters in danger."

Hearing Deputy Envoy Sun's affirmation, the King of Chu said: "Uncle, go and tell Doctor Yang that partition walls have ears, but it's not safe to send letters. My original intention was not to ask for pulse cases from the East Palace and Prince Zhao's Mansion. As for what I want, You tell him what he is good at, and he will naturally know after listening."

"I also told him that apart from him as a doctor, this king should be the first to know. Without this king's intention, he can't tell anyone. Of course, this king will not let him do anything outrageous."

Deputy Envoy Sun nodded, "Yes."

After the deputy medical officer left, the king of Chu stretched his waist.

Xiao Youqing kept listening attentively, thinking carefully about the meaning of the King of Chu's words, "For Sun Taiyi, 17 years have passed, does the prince still trust you?"

"Even though Sun Taiyi and his mother have known each other since they were young, but after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. He benefits others and himself. He has been favored by me, so he has a clue to fall in me. Whether it is true or false, he always has to be scruples. It’s also a safe bet.”

"My lord's art of controlling people, it seems that I used to be a concubine, did you underestimate it?"

"People in the world come and go for profit, but they can't escape the word desire, greed, material desire, Hanhan." Then she smiled slightly, "If my sister gives me more money, I will be able to make money for you." Buy half of the court!"

"You're being dishonest again. A heart bought with money is only worth a few taels of silver. What's the use if you can't find someone at a critical moment?"

"Indeed, but this kind of people are greedy for money, lustful and extremely afraid of death. If they are afraid of death, they will find a way to survive. If they want to survive, they must be attached. I don't need them to work hard, as long as they are willing to work hard."

At this point, she didn't go to refute her, and asked the doubts in her heart, "What did you mean by what you and Sun Taiyi said just now?"

"Sister is so smart, guess what?"

"What are you good at... Imperial Physician Yang is the sage of modern medicine, but he is best at obstetrics, and Imperial Physician Yang was promoted from the obstetrics hospital. You must know the East Palace and Prince Zhao's Mansion first besides him," Xiao Youqing Then he was shocked, "What are you going to do? Could it be that the Chu Palace will not have any heirs in the future, so you want the East Palace and the Zhao Palace as well...or you?"

"Young son He Gu, I'm not your Majesty, I'm not that cruel, but I always have to plan for the future. I never thought about this before, but since my sister came, I knew that I would definitely win! "

"I wrote that letter of Heli because I made up my mind to settle accounts with the East Palace first..." At this point, she looked at the woman sitting in front of her and looked at her, and secretly suppressed her anger, "Now that I want to come, Your Majesty Now that I have mastered the chess game and let us check and balance the three parties, then can I use it in reverse and make Your Majesty one of the three legs, and I am the master of chess!"

"Brothers stand against the wall and resist their insults from outside. This is what he wants. Use us brothers to weigh the major forces in the court. Your Majesty wants to be alone, it is not so easy!"

"You brothers, Liulang is the youngest, but he is the one who sees the most clearly."

The King of Chu smiled lightly, "But now, Liu Lang has to trouble his sister to go to the Imperial City Secretary in person, and Liu Lang wants to entrust the second uncle with a matter."

"what's up?"

"The influence Shen Yi'an has cultivated over the years has far surpassed that of Zhongshu. If he is left alone, the East Palace will end sooner or later. We can't let it expand any longer. Your Majesty doesn't want me to stay in the capital, so I have to settle one thing before I leave."

"Your Majesty doesn't want you to stay in the capital?" Xiao Youqing held her hand tightly, raised her head and stared at her: "But because you pleaded for that boy Luo Chuan? How much did you promise His Majesty?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my sister." King Chu put his hand on the back of her hand, stroked it gently, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, I have to wait until the exam period is over if I want to leave. So I asked myself to be the magistrate of the state capital, in fact, I was hoping for it, and now Beijing and China are fighting fiercely, if I stay, it will be affected both openly and secretly, and this place has become a place of refuge instead."

Immediately, his face turned cold, and his eyes became dark, "I will never tolerate and let the prince go, nor will I condone and encourage King Zhao, and I will never forgive that person!"

------

The gate of the East Palace was closed tightly and had not been opened from morning to night until a man in a purple robe dismounted in front of the gate of the East Palace.

"By His Majesty's order, come to bring a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

So the gate of the East Palace opened without being conveyed by the prison gate.

A servant rushed in, "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is someone here."

In the hall, the prince was leisurely tasting the lychees sent by the Chen family. The woman lay on his side in his arms, took a lychee, peeled it off, and put the white flesh into his mouth.

"Your Highness, is it sweet?"

"My concubine peeled it, it's naturally sweet." He also stretched out his hand and grabbed a lychee to peel it off, "Come on, Ben Gong..."

"Don't eat it, His Highness said it was too sweet, and I don't like eating sweet things recently."

"Really?"

"Your Highness, there are people coming from Ouchi!"

Wei Shu was eating happily, raised his head impatiently and said, "Who's here?"

"It's official business in the imperial city, Xiao Xianfu."

The lychee in Wei Shu's hand rolled down, and he hurriedly spit out the lychee core in his mouth, and helped the woman up, "Hurry up, clean up..."

At the promenade of the East Palace, Xiao Xianfu held a saber and walked forward with steady steps.

"Why did you come here in person today for official business? Does Your Majesty not need anyone there?"

Xiao Xianfu did not reply to the words of the servant in the East Palace, but asked directly: "Where is His Royal Highness?"

"It's at the front door, almost there."

As soon as Xiao Xianfu arrived at the entrance of the hall, there were bursts of coughing in the hall.

Immediately there was the sound of bowls being smashed.

"I can't share my worries for my father. My son is useless. Why are you saving me...all...get out!"

"Business, it's been a while, His Highness the Son of Heaven stays behind closed doors, doesn't eat or drink, and Concubine Liang is pregnant again, the villain is afraid..."

Xiao Xianfu pushed away the servant standing in front of him, half-closed his eyes, held the sword hilt tightly, and stepped into the hall with his legs raised.

The hall was as usual, and soon he saw the crown prince lying on the couch with a pale face and dull eyes, as if he was terminally ill, Chen Liangdi was serving in front of the couch, Xiao Xianfu approached slowly, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the walk.

The moment of pause made both the crown prince and Liang Di frightened, and saw Xiao Xianfu walking forward again, and finally stood still and cupped his hands and said: "Chen, Xiao Xianfu, see Your Highness the Crown Prince." Di, he never even glanced at her, even though he knew she was pregnant.

Mingli is the monarch and ministers, but secretly the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet each other, but he still wants to pretend that the monarch and ministers are in harmony.

"Why did the official come to the East Palace in person? The holy driver is in the palace, and the official is the chief of the imperial city..." Wei Shu immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at the person who brought the sword into the palace.

"Your Highness," Xiao Xianfu lowered his head slightly, "I came here on order to give His Highness an order."

The prince was taken aback immediately after hearing this, and after looking at Chen Liangdi, Liangdi made a gesture to help him up.

"Your Highness doesn't need to get up if you are in a bad health."

"No... As a minister, how can I abandon etiquette." So the crown prince struggled to get up, and Chen Liangdi put on the boots for him again, and helped him kneel down slowly.

"Chen Weishu, please be safe."

"I bow to you."

Xiao Xianfu immediately changed his normal tone and said: "Your Majesty ordered..."

In the pavilion next to the prince's rest, the princess is embroidering a child's clothes.

"His Royal Highness is like this, the Crown Princess is not worried, then Chen Liangdi..."

"It's fine to lie to outsiders, why do you believe it's true?"

"Your Highness, the villain is unfair to His Highness. You are obviously the Crown Princess of the East Palace. Why is she a good concubine?"

"What kind of princess is just one of the many poor women in the back house."

"That's the injustice of this world. Your Highness doesn't know how to cherish such a good lady as you. From now on, sooner or later, you will regret it."

The princess just smiled, "There is no shortage of good women, what he lacks is someone who can make him smile."

In the hall, Xiao Xianfu stared at Wei Shu coldly, "Your Majesty ordered that if there is an emperor's eldest grandson in Song Dynasty, no matter whether he is a concubine or concubine, I will register him as the emperor's grandson!"

He said the word "emperor grandson" very loudly, which made the prince startled and turned pale: "What?"

He hurriedly asked again, "I heard correctly, didn't I hear correctly?"

Xiao Xianfu didn't answer, Wei Shu murmured to himself, "As long as the eldest grandson is born, no matter whether he is a descendant, it will be King Zhao or King Chu?"

"The minister's words have been conveyed. If you don't believe me, His Highness can confront His Majesty in person."

The prince collapsed powerlessly, and said with a weeping face and trembling: "Daddy...is he really so cruel?"

"Your Majesty said, Kaifeng Mansion is a capital mansion, how can it be left to the subordinates to handle it with full authority, so I trouble His Highness the Crown Prince to pack himself up and go back to take up his post. His Majesty also said, Father Jun, the King is in front and the father is in the back."

The prince fell into the woman's arms with blank eyes, and immediately got up, trembling and fearful: "Junfu..." Then he bowed his head, "I, Wei Shu, obey the order!"

"The minister will go back to Da Nei first, take care of your health, Your Highness."

Xiao Xianfu turned and left, stopped halfway, turned his head and said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind Your Highness, litchi is hot, and eating too much can easily get angry." He immediately walked away.

The rest of the prince and Chen Liangdi stood in front of the couch, not far from the door, lying quietly on a crushed lychee, the white flesh had been torn, exposing the black core.

After the Qionglin Banquet, the DPRK and Central Committee formally appointed Xin Ke as a Jinshi official, who first went to the court for examination.

Liang Wenfu, the number one scholar, was appointed by the emperor to enter the Hanlin Academy, and he was in charge of making the imperial edict of Zhou Shinan.

And the second place will succeed the promoted living room person as the new living room man.

Tanhualang was condemned to serve as the governor of Yangzhou.

"The predecessor of Zhou Neihan resigned, and Neihan asked His Majesty to invite you to the Imperial Academy. This is a special kindness. Although it will be a matter of time before the champion will be named in the Imperial Academy, Zhou Neihan is Your Majesty. His confidants may also be the future political affairs counselors. All imperial edicts in the palace are written by Zhou Neihan, and Zhuangyuan Lang will have a bright future if he works under Zhou Neihan." Since the establishment of the Imperial Academy in the previous dynasty, The status gradually rose, and since the beginning of the dynasty, more than [-]% of the prime ministers were from Hanlin.

Liang Wenfu seemed to have heard something, "Since what the officials said, why did the former priest leave?"

"Hey, that man was a Jinshi three years ago. He was born in a poor family. Once a person climbs from a low place to a high place, it is easy to forget his roots. A good scholar is like a dandy who is tainted with fireworks and willow lanes, so he was imprisoned." The censors of the Third Academy of Shitai jointly impeached him, and His Majesty rewarded him with fifty slabs in anger, and he was left breathless after the beating, so he had to plead guilty and resign, what a pity!"

Liang Wenfu was surprised when he heard this, "How come the court officials make plans to govern the country, and they don't even have the freedom of family affairs. My court allows the existence of Goulan House, but why doesn't it allow people to enter?"

Seeing that there was no one around, the official whispered: "I am dissatisfied with Liang Zhuangyuan. I have served in the three divisions. The tax in Goulan accounts for half of the national tax revenue in our dynasty. It is only allowed to exist to enrich the national treasury. The most important thing for a scholar-bureaucrat is reputation, Qi family governs the country, and reputation is good outside, if it is not good, how can you be a good official, don’t you think so?” The official smiled, “Don’t Liang Zhuangyuan want to learn from that Jinshi, and ruin his reputation. Not to mention the future, but also end up with a half-body disability, the gain outweighs the loss."

Liang Wenfu immediately smiled and bowed deeply to the official, "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely remember it."
