Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 50

The next one to play is Jing Lanzhen, the daughter of General Jin Wu.

Zhuo Shuzhen was placed in the middle to play.Those who went in before were left behind.Jing Lanzhen was granted the title as expected.Jing Lanzhen was followed by her cousin, Jing Lirou, who entered the palace with her.Jing Lirou is the concubine's daughter of the second room of the Jing family, and her status is far lower than Jing Lanzhen's, but Jing Lanzhen agreed, and Jing Lirou also agreed.

After that was Zheng Yingzhi, the prostitute daughter of Princess Leping.Still only got one promise.Chang Mingyue was also retained and awarded the title of Baolin.Jia Guixie and Xi Guifei very intentionally put people who are related to each other together.Zhuo Shuzhen came on stage next.She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and walked in with the most perfect smile on her face.

"Zhuo Shuzhen, granddaughter of Yin Zhuoyizhi, the young master of governance, Zhuo Shuzhen, [-]~"

Zhuo Shuzhen entered the arena, and Jiaguixie, Xiguifei, Dejuan and Mingjuan all looked at her.It has to be said that Zhuo Shuzhen does have some capital.But these four people didn't like her at all, and it was her that Dezhen and Mingzhen came here today.

Zhuo Shuzhen's beauty is not as beautiful as Shi Fangyun's, but she also has a special taste.Her figure can be said to be on par with Shi Fangyun.No wonder the Zhuo family did not hesitate to send Zhuo Ji into the palace to pave the way for Zhuo Shuzhen.

Concubine Xi: "Can you read?"

Zhuo Shuzhen: "Minnv have read some books."

"What have you read?"

Zhuo Shuzhen talked about a few books about women's virtues, and also mentioned a few books with connotation and style.

Concubine Xi: "What do you usually like?"

"Minnv usually likes to play chess, and also likes to sing and dance. She will dance to a song in her spare time."

"Then you can dance for His Majesty."

"Yes."

At this time, a voice interrupted: "I see those books you read, did you invite teachers at home?"

The emperor's unreasonable playing of cards scared Zhuo Shuzhen, she looked up and saw a pair of sharp eyes, she lowered her head hastily, her complexion turned pale.

"Yes, at Minnv's house, I invited Minnv to have a wife." Zhuo Shuzhen's heart trembled when she answered.The family has never invited Zhuo Ji to have a wife!

Sure enough, I heard the emperor's sarcasm from above: "You have invited your master since you were young, and you have only read a few books. Your direct brother was admitted as a scholar just by borrowing from the bookstore. When your brother entered the palace, You're only fourteen. You were pampered until you were seventeen before you were willing to send you in."

Zhuo Shuzhen knelt down: "Your Majesty!"

"Give money."

Zhuo Shuzhen raised her head in horror, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty! The daughter of the people was wronged! My brother's entry into the palace was not what the daughter of the people wanted! The daughter of the people..."

Emperor Yong'an was too lazy to listen to her, and interrupted her directly: "Take it down."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Two eunuchs took Zhuo Shuzhen down.The people outside looked at each other, the most promising Zhuo Shuzhen lost the election? !Your Majesty doesn't even want to watch her dance? !This, this, what is going on here? !Many people's faces were ugly.

"Next~"

Liu Xizhu shivered, straightened his back, and walked in.



Xiangfu Palace, Zhuo Ji was surrounded.He was besieged by four people like a sinner.These four people are Jia Guixie, Xi Guifei, Dezhen with a big belly, and Mingxi who came here together without a handbook.The central idea of ​​the four besieging him is that this time the rookie is very strong!If he still can't find a way to make His Majesty change his mind and regain his favor, he will be in big trouble!They were regarded as a group of old people, and he had the greatest chance of winning favor among them. If he let it go like this, these old people would be replaced by new people sooner or later.Jiaguixie and Dezheng even started to fight directly, hating iron for being weak.

Zhuo Ji, who was pinched and screamed, raised his hand and surrendered.

"Don't pinch, don't pinch! I promise, I promise, I will go out before the tenth day of March! I will let His Majesty calm down!"

Jia Guixie: "That's what you said!"

Zhuo Ji wiped his face: "I said it! I swear by my personality!"

Four people: "What is personality?"

Zhuo Ji was dizzy, the generation gap in this space is hard to explain!

"In short, I promise, before the tenth day of March, His Majesty must be calmed down!"

Jia Guixie threatened: "If you can't do it, I will send you ten maids in your Xiangfu Palace!"

Zhuo Ji nodded heavily: "I promise!"

Finally sent away the four plague gods, ah no, the four bosses, Zhuo Ji almost collapsed.But before he could catch his breath, Zhang Xian came.

"By the way, you are..."

Zhuo Ji, who was sitting on the kang, waved his hands weakly: "It's okay, I just got a lesson."

"A lesson? By whom?"

"Three dreadful wraiths and one empress."

"..."

Zhuo Ji moved his body and gasped in pain.This frightened Zhang Xian, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhuo Ji: "Cui, are you hurt?"

Zhuo Ji rolled up his sleeves, Zhang Xian gasped.Zhuo Ji's white arm had a few bright purple pinch marks.

"This, this also..." Zhang Xian felt distressed.

Zhuo Ji put down his sleeves and sniffed: "Cu Chu and Niang Niang asked me to confess my mistakes to His Majesty, and taught me a lot of love."

Neither is Zhang Xian smiling, nor is it not smiling.

"Cui, I will give you some medicine."

"It's okay, just rub it and it will be fine tomorrow."

Zhuo Ji rubbed his arm and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Xian glanced at Chang Jing and Xiao Hui who were hiding in the corner and snickering, and they immediately backed out.Only then did Zhang Xian say: "Cuchu, this servant came here privately, and wanted to say a few words to him."

Zhuo Ji: "That father-in-law sit down."

Zhang Xian immediately said: "Slaves don't dare, this is also against the rules."

Zhuo Ji: "There are only you and me here, what are the rules? Zhang Xian, sit down."

Zhang Xian was stunned. In the palace, His Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager all called him by his first name directly, but this sound of yelling made his eyes hot for no reason.Zhang Xian lowered his head: "The servants would be more respectful than obedient." Zhang Xian sat down, but half of his buttocks were hanging outside the Arhat's bed.

Zhuo Ji didn't make things difficult for him, and asked plainly: "You came to me because of the draft."

Zhang Xian: "Slaves are, and they are not. You should already know that Zhuo Shuzhen lost the election."

Zhuo Ji nodded.

Zhang Xian: "Your Majesty reprimanded Zhuo Shuzhen in public, and this servant girl knows in her heart that His Majesty is venting her anger on you. Chuchu, don't blame Your Majesty for not being able to love you. Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Emperor Mingzong and Emperor Shenzong have a good relationship." Your Majesty has been taught since childhood that 'Emperors are ruthless and cannot have love'."

Zhang Xian whispered about the harsh upbringing Wan Sui received from the living Emperor Shenzong when he was young.Later, when he came to Emperor Mingzong's side, what kind of life did he live?

"You, Your Majesty treats you differently. Even your noble concubine, you have never been so favored by His Majesty. Your Majesty loves you not only because you are a wise man. You are in the West Third Courtyard. The old residence was burned, and His Majesty kicked over a floor-to-ceiling porcelain vase when he learned about it, and he wanted to kill all the people involved. If Feng Xi hadn't brought you back, His Majesty would have killed them with a stick."

"I beg you as a servant, and give your heart to His Majesty. I dare not say anything to others, but Your Majesty will take care of your heart, and I will never hurt you." Your."

Zhuo Ji took a new tea bowl from the tea tray, poured a bowl of tea, and pushed it in front of Zhang Xian.Zhang Xian was so flattered that he stood up straight away, not daring to answer.

"Zhang Xian, after drinking this cup of tea, you can go back."

"Cui?!" Zhang Xian's emotion turned into uneasiness.

Zhuo Ji: "I'm going to retreat recently, so I'll be busy. But before the tenth day of next month, I will definitely go to see His Majesty."

"Wait?!"

Zhuo Ji: "I also have to think about it, how should I tell His Majesty."

"Okay, okay! Maid, servant, let's go now, don't disturb you!"

"Drink the tea."

Zhang Xian picked up the tea bowl, suppressed the tears in his eyes and drank the whole bowl of tea.Then he wiped his mouth to wipe away his tears, and ran away smiling.Zhuo Ji let out a long sigh.

Zhuo Ji said that he would retreat when he said that he would retreat, and directly ordered the gate of Xiangfu Palace to be closed, unless it was important, no one would open it, and no one would see anyone who came.Zhuo Ji will go to find Emperor Yong'an before the tenth day of next month, Zhang Xian did not hide it from His Majesty.Emperor Yong'an was in a complicated mood, he was looking forward to Zhuo Ji coming to him, but he didn't want to hear Zhuo Ji say something to anger him.

On the third day of the draft, Emperor Yong'an kept half of the people.Eighteen beautiful girls and ten duanmu.So far, Emperor Yong'an's harem has been greatly enriched.All the show girls agree.All Duanmu are Baolin.On the night of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Yong'an stayed overnight in Yanxin Palace.On the eleventh day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Yong'an summoned Qi Yiguo to attend the bed.Regarding the emperor's unreasonable play of cards again, Jiaguixie, Dejuan and Concubine Xigui had a vague guess.

Among the newcomers entering the palace this time, the five new masters with strong backgrounds are the most popular, as well as Qi Yiguo, Tong Yifeng and Shi Fangyun.Emperor Yong'an invited a newcomer to sleep with him every day, and he didn't show any particular favorite.However, the first night of a newcomer is always difficult, and many people also think that His Majesty is considerate.The draft was over, but the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and the Harem did not stop because the tenth day of March was Tianshou Festival, the birthday of Emperor Yong'an.Due to the drought last year, Emperor Yong'an canceled all festivals that could be cancelled, including the Tianshou Festival.This year, Emperor Yong'an still ordered not to do big things, but there are still some ostentations.The empress dowager presides over it, and it is still Jiaguixie and Xiguifei who are in charge.Deju wants to have a baby, but Mingju and Qiongpin are still on top.

On the second day of March, the gate of Xiangfu Palace was still closed, but Emperor Yong'an began to visibly become restless.He recruited Shi Fangyun for four consecutive days, and it was already the seventh day of March.Emperor Yong'an was anxious, and so were Jiaguixie, Concubine Xigui, Dejuan and Mingyu, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi were also anxious.On the evening of the seventh day of March, Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace.Jiagui Xie couldn't sleep with him, Emperor Yongan didn't touch him, but drank half the night in his palace, seeing Jiagui Xie's envy, jealousy, heartache and helplessness, she scolded Zhuo Ji half to death in her heart, regretting what happened before He didn't pinch hard enough.

From the eighth day to the tenth day of the lunar new year, the court will be closed for three days, and the Tianshou Festival will be celebrated from all over the country.Emperor Yong'an, who drank half a night, was drunk and hung over in Huayang Palace, and didn't wake up until almost noon.On the eighth day of the eighth day, if there is no important business for officials above the fifth rank, they will go to Beijing to offer birthday gifts to the Holy One.After washing and eating in Huayang Palace, Emperor Yong'an returned to Fengtian Palace.

The palace gate of Xiangfu Palace opened, and the people from the Caizhang palace left Xiangfu Palace carrying their chariots.On the pedestal, Zhuo Ji was carrying a box, braided hair, no makeup, only a little lip balm, and was carried to Fengtian Hall by the palace people.Emperor Yong'an sat on the throne of the Hall of Walking with a sullen face.After a short rest, he will go to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then return to Fengtian Hall to receive gifts from officials.But Emperor Yong'an didn't want to see anyone, what he wanted to do most now was to smash everything in Fengtian Temple!

"Your Majesty! You are here! You are here!"

Feng Xi ran in from the outside in ecstasy, and because he was too surprised, his footsteps were unsteady and he fell on the ground.Feng Xi got up in a panic and shouted: "Your Majesty, here we come!"

When Zhang Xian heard it, he was also ecstatic: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong'an glared at the door furiously, but didn't let Zhuo Ji in.

The ecstasy on Zhang Xian and Feng Xi's faces receded: "Your Majesty?"

The door curtain was lifted, and a person walked in uninvited.Emperor Yong'an slapped the imperial table: "Bold! Who allowed you to come in!"

Zhuo Ji, dressed in plain clothes, looked at the two who were not sure about the current situation: "Eunuch Zhang, Feng Xi, you go out for a while, I have something to say to His Majesty alone."

Zhang Xian carefully glanced at His Majesty, then gritted his teeth, grabbed Feng Xi and quickly backed out, closing the door behind him.As soon as the door was closed, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi heard His Majesty's roar: "Bold! How dare you order my palace servants! Who gave you the courage!"

Zhuo Ji was not afraid of Emperor Yong'an's dragon anger at all, he walked around the imperial table, walked to Emperor Yong'an, pulled away Emperor Yong'an's arm on the imperial table, squeezed between Emperor Yong'an and the imperial table, and sat down.

"presumptuous!"

Sitting on Emperor Yong'an's lap is equivalent to indirectly sitting on the throne and still ignoring the angry person behind him.He put the wooden box in his hand on the royal table, opened it, and there were several sharpened pencils inside.

"Your Majesty," Zhuo Ji said with his back to Emperor Yong'an, "Zhang Xian went to me and asked me to give my heart to His Majesty. I'm sad."

"Nonsense! I!"

Emperor Yong'an's words were interrupted by the touch of Zhuo Ji holding his other hand on the imperial table.Zhuo Ji said flatly: "Your Majesty, there are some things I didn't think to tell you. But now, I think maybe I should tell you. Before I finish the painting, no matter what doubts you have, please don't talk, let me finish the painting .”

Emperor Yong'an was silent.Zhuo Ji withdrew his hand, brought a piece of cut silver silk paper from the imperial table, and took out a pencil from the box.After pressing the paper with his left hand for a while, Zhuo Ji began to write.

Zhuo Ji drew very quickly, and Emperor Yong'an's two hands that were originally placed on the imperial table were put down after the content on the drawing paper gradually became full, and instead circled Zhuo Ji's waist.Emperor Yong'an's tiger eyes were wide open, his face was terrified, he wanted to speak several times, but was firmly suppressed by him again.On Zhuo Ji's drawing paper, there was a first-class zombie with a festering mouth and razor-sharp teeth.

After drawing this piece, Zhuo Ji took another piece of paper, and soon, there was another walking dead on the paper, this is a second-level zombie.Zhuo Ji drew different shapes of zombies one by one, and the arms around his waist became tighter and tighter, and Emperor Yong'an was completely attached to Zhuo Ji's back.Zhuo Ji drew more than a dozen pictures one by one.

Outside Fengtian Hall, Zhang Xian stopped the officials who came to His Majesty one by one.Nothing is as important as what's inside right now.The atmosphere in the Zhixing Hall was eeriely quiet. Emperor Yong'an, who had seen countless bloody corpses, had hairy backs and goosebumps.
