Daily life of black skin cub's princess

11. Want to marry a male concubine (two in one) - Rumors fly inside and outside the palace, grandparents and grandchildren discuss national plans.

Recently, the most popular person in the imperial court was replaced by Luo Yijin, who had always had no sense of presence. Luo Yijin hid at home behind closed doors, and directly hung a demon mirror on the door.The hot topic of discussion among the people in the capital has also become who is the person who is the phoenix and dragon.

However, everyone's concern about this gossip is that they are curious about who is the future princess,? And another thing that makes all the people in the capital really care,? That is, the Northwest Army wants to return to the court.You must know that catching a son-in-law under the list can only be done by rich people, but there are not so many restrictions on catching a son-in-law in the army.

Most of the members of the army come from poor families, if they can find a good seedling, it will not be a problem to become the imperial wife in the future.

What's more, since ancient times, scholars have been so lucky. It can be seen just by comparing the relatives of the courtiers and generals' families. In this way, the return of the Northwest Army to Beijing has become something that everyone in the capital is looking forward to.

The people in the capital were elated, but the ministers in the court were in a state of fear. There was no one else, only because Rong Ling, his old troops, and some Turkic prisoners of war returned with the Northwest Army. .

At the same time, there was another piece of news that spread like wildfire from the palace. This also made the ministers puzzled.The reason for this was the ceremony for the entry of the Northwest Army into the city. The Minister of Rites wrote: "His Royal Highness the Prince please go out of the city on behalf of His Majesty to welcome the Northwest Army into the city."

I thought this kind of performance was in line with Lu Jian's wishes, but Lu Xi said meaningfully: "It doesn't fit the system."

The incident aroused heated discussions among the courtiers as soon as it got out of the palace, and the left minister Han Dang was so annoyed that he wanted to thank the guests behind closed doors.

——Han Gong, do you think the emperor has the desire to abolish the establishment because of the little prince?

——Han Gong,? You have to persuade the Holy Majesty,? Establish the crown prince as the heir,? Now the prince has grown up and behaves top-notch,? The little prince is still in his infancy, and his aptitude is not yet clear. If the Holy Majesty acts rashly, it may cause disaster.

——Han Gong, after all, the prince has meritorious service,? If His Majesty suppresses it rashly, it may cause disaster, and it will chill the hearts of soldiers even more.

——Han Gong...

In the end, Han Dang was annoyed so much that he was one head and two big, and finally he flicked his sleeves and went to the palace to have a face. This pot was thrown to him by the emperor, and he had to throw it back.Introduced into the imperial study by the eunuch, Lu Jian's eyes lit up when he saw him: "It just so happens that you are here, help me to see which one is more suitable."

When Han Dang was in a daze, a few pieces of rice paper were stuffed into his hands, and upon closer inspection, they looked like armor and battle robes.Han Dang didn't know why, so he ordered the one he thought looked the most domineering: "Your Majesty, I think this is the most domineering."

Lu Jian was very happy: "I just said that this set is good, but the crown prince is unwilling, saying that it is overstepping the rules. There are so many rules and regulations. Isn't it over if it looks good?"

Han Dang: "..."

Han Dang tried his best to adjust his expression and cleared his throat: "Is your majesty confirming the ceremony of the Northwest Army entering the city?"

Lu Jian nodded absently, concentrating on competing with those sets of armor.

Han Dang breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard that His Majesty does not want His Royal Highness to go out of the city to meet the army."

Lu Jian nodded again: "This Li Guanghong is Yumu's head." Li Guanghong is the minister of the Ministry of Rites who was refuted in the previous performance.

When Han Dang heard that it was true, he was a little uncertain about Lu Jian's meaning: "Your Majesty thinks that the prince's welcome to the army violates the etiquette?"

"Not really, it's just that this time the Northwest Army returns to the city, and I want to personally welcome them."

Han Dang understood that this was indeed the case. His Royal Highness went out on behalf of His Majesty because the emperor could not be without the emperor due to important national affairs. But now that the Northwest Army has returned to Beijing, it is already at the gate of the house. Naturally, the emperor wants to greet him personally to show his respect.

"His Royal Highness is with you?"

Lu Jian seemed to sense something was wrong from Han Dang's cautious tone, and looked up at Han Dang: "Why do you ask that?"

Han Dang could only tell the truth, which made Lu Jian laugh: "These people, their minds are all on twists and turns."

"It is a capital offense for ministers to speculate on the holy will without authorization." Han Dang also had to distinguish one from the other for them, "but the matter of storing positions is related to the country and society, and it is not a trivial matter of gossip."

Lu Jian waved his hand: "I have never had the intention of abolishing the establishment, never before, and will be even more so in the future."

Impossible.If anyone asks again, let them rest their minds. "

Han Dang got a reassurance, and the worry between his brows dissipated a lot: "If your highness goes out of the city with your majesty, you should let the Ministry of Rites prepare it earlier. I'm afraid Li Shangshu didn't understand your majesty's will. If you don't prepare anything that day Oh no."

"The prince is not with me." Seeing that Han Dang was still at a loss, Lu Jian simply clarified, "The prince returned to Beijing for a reason. Although he is not in the northwest now, the commander of the Northwest Army is the prince, so he should be distinguished from everyone. Soldiers return to the city together."

Han Dang was stunned, and at the same time he also felt a little shocked, shocked by the meaning of Lu Jian's words.

The prince is not acting on behalf of His Majesty, but the veritable commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army.This time, the division commander of the Northwest Army was rewarded, and letting the prince lead the Northwest Army into the city was to show off the prince's prestige, and even to secure power for him.

But... is the emperor so relieved to hand over the military power of the Northwest Army to the prince?Han Dang inevitably had some doubts in his heart. Although he knew that the father and son were not like a father and son of heaven, but now that the little prince was born, even if the emperor treated the prince as before, would the prince really have no grudges in his heart?

Han Dang was worried, and so were the officials.

Only the father and son in the center of the vortex have no idea how far the outside world has speculated. One is trying to persuade his son to wear the most shining armor, and the other is busy rejecting the kindness and aesthetics of the father and the emperor and busy leading his younger brother to draw up the will.Just because Lu Jian has basically let go of the affairs of the court, how to award the Northwest Army, and the big cleansing after the award, all kinds of arrangements need to be made by Lu.

Fortunately, his father is unreliable and he still has his grandfather. It just so happens that Lu Yuan also wanted to take Lu Xi with him, so he dragged Shen Yan to live in the East Palace these few days.Wu Xun also pulled Shen Yan, and couldn't find anyone for the whole day.

After Lu Xi closed a memorial, he put down Zhu Piao and said helplessly, "Grandmother has abducted my daughter-in-law."

Lu Yuan laughed: "Then my wife ran away too? Will you pay for it?"

Lu Xi begged for forgiveness again and again, then changed the subject and asked, "Xun'er and grandma are..."

"Ah Yan said that Xiaoxun asked him about some old affairs of the palace these few days."

Lu Xi was stunned, apparently not thinking of this level: "Actually...he doesn't need to be like this, I will definitely not let people make things difficult for him here in the future."

Lu Yuan smiled: "Well, others are right. You and I have similar tempers, and we have the same conceit."

This remark was mixed, Lu Xi immediately corrected his expression, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I also ask my grandfather to express it clearly."

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea before slowly opening his mouth: "I used to think that I could protect Ah Yan for the rest of my life, but Ah Yan had accidents three times under my nose. One time was on the night of my wedding, he was persuaded by my mother Into the inner prison, I didn't even know about it until many years later. The second time was when I was beaten to the bones by Concubine Li. Although it was because of that time that I made up my mind to show my heart to Ah Yan, but if I The turnaround was too late..." Lu Yuan gave a wry smile, "The third time was because of my mother, who knew that I had abolished the harem because of him, and almost forced Ah Yan to drink Jiujiu. Of course, it was far more than that, and there were many times in between. It is a matter of turning danger into good fortune and turning danger into disaster. If I hadn’t cheated my death and abdicated back then, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine how many open and secret arrows would have been fought in these years.”

"Ah Yan, as my servant, we sleep and eat together almost inseparable. The court knows that we are only a few people, and they are all my confidantes. There are still these risks. The crisis in the previous court is more serious than that in the harem. , and since you have decided to make him the queen and abolish the harem, you are pushing him in front of others. Even if you want to protect him no matter what the world says, how can you do it every time?" Lu Yuan saw that Lu Xi's face was serious. Shui, obviously listened to it, and his tone softened a bit, "Although Xiaoxun didn't grow up in the capital, he has heard more or less mentioned by us and his father since he was a child. He is clear in his heart. Since he wants to learn, it is your blessing."

Not only is Lu Xi's blessing, but also the blessing of the two of them.How can Israel serve the king for a long time?Even if the king is not unlucky, can the courtiers really let him go?If the two want to last for a long time, Xiao Xun must not only rely on Lu Xi.Lu Yuan didn't understand this truth before, but later he understood it, so he made Shen Yan a palm seal eunuch.But the reason why Shen Yan was able to palm prints was also because at that time he

In fact, the court already had its own control over the courtiers to some extent.Otherwise, if virtue is not coordinated, it is also a disaster.

Although Lu Xi couldn't think as thoroughly as Lu Yuan at the moment, after a little poking around by Lu Yuan, he also understood what Lu Yuan meant.

"It's my grandson who is thinking about it. My grandson always feels that he owes Xun'er. If it wasn't for me, Xun'er would be in the Jianghu by now, and there would be no need to fight with others here." Lu Jin couldn't help but smile wryly, so he didn't want to He went to be contaminated with these right and wrong.

Lu Yuan can only say that Lu Xi is indeed similar to himself, and what Lu Xi thinks now is what he thought when he was young: "I used to think that I didn't want Ah Yan to worry about these problems, I just want to see him happy every day Happy. I kept him by my side but never broke through that layer of intention. If Li Fei hadn’t troubled Ah Yan, I might still not have broken through that layer of window paper. After that, I didn’t want him to worry about these trivial matters, But all living beings are suffering, so who can be spared? I don't want him to intervene, and I don't want him to be troubled. On the contrary, it makes Ah Yan a lot of worry and self-blame." Lu Yuan said slowly, "Since you and Xiaoxun have decided to Together, since you have decided to break the boat, you are a husband and wife, how do you know that your troubles are not his troubles?"

"Grandson understands." After Lu Xi sat back at the desk, he drank a sip of tea and calmed down, "Then I will trouble grandma, and find someone else, grandson, to worry about leaking the news."

"Ah Yan's rules are always the best learned in the palace." Lu Yuan touched his nose and muttered, "It's just a bit too much." I hope Xiao Xun only learns superficially, if he really learns for real Ten to ten, I am afraid that Lu Xi will have a difficult life in the future.

"Grandfather, there is one more thing." Lu Xi suddenly remembered something. It was given to him by the dark guard in the morning, but at that time his grandfather and grandmother went for a walk in the imperial garden, so he pressed it in his own hands, "The dark guard came to report, saying that Su Both the Duke's Mansion and the Qiu Mansion are inquiring about you and grandma."

"Oh?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Did you find out anything?"

"No." Lu Xi shook his head, "The dark guards confused their sight and didn't let them know the clues."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment: "You might as well let out some rumors, the enemy moves me, and it will be convenient for you to do it in the future."

Lu Xi actually thought the same way, just as in the past few years, if he hadn't been weaker than others, he would definitely not be able to attract Qiu Chao's ambitions, let alone eradicate the Qiu party in one fell swoop. The hearts of the ministers have brought a bad reputation of being suspicious of a lord.It's just that this matter is related to his grandfather and grandmother, he dare not act rashly, now that he has obtained the approval, he naturally knows: "Thank you, grandfather."

"Grandfather, the Minister of Rites wrote a letter today intending to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, but I haven't figured out who to appoint. It is related to my marriage with Xun'er, and I would like to ask my grandfather to give me some advice."

Lu Yuan picked up the roster of the officials at hand and flipped through it. After flipping through it for a long time, he stopped, turned back a few pages, and pointed at a person's name: "Xia Chu."

Lu Xi thought about this person's situation, and recalled: "This person is the son of Xia Ziyu, the former minister of Dali Temple, and now he is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. According to his age and qualifications, he can hold the position of minister, but this person has always been very close to the officials of the court. Don't move around, I don't know him very well, and I am worried whether the big wedding can be entrusted to him. My grandson wants to ask, but what is so special about this person? Why did my grandfather recommend this person?"

"Xia Chu is not Xia Ziyu's biological son, but Xia Ziyu's adopted son."

"The grandson is really not clear about this matter. The grandson just heard that he has never remarried since he was widowed."

"He doesn't have any pain of losing his spouse." Lu Yuan laughed, looking very happy, "Xia Ziyu's mansion is next to Cheng Yu's mansion, and there is a door on the adjacent wall between the two men's mansions."

Lu Yuan opened his eyes wide, and only heard Lu Yuan continue to say: "Xia Chu is the child adopted by Xia Ziyu and Cheng Yu. The reason why he doesn't have the surname Cheng is because Cheng Yu is the eldest son of the Huinan Palace. When the Huinan Palace was convicted, I admired his talent, so I expelled him from the genealogy before disposing of the Huinan Palace and saved his life, in order to avoid suspicion that the children adopted by Cheng Yu and Xia Ziyu all took Xia Ziyu's surname."

"So the two of them are..." It was only then that Lu Xi remembered that when Xia Ziyu asked to resign, his father dissuaded him for half a year, and finally he finally agreed to play after receiving a letter from his grandfather.

Cheng Yu followed suit, and his father persuaded him a few times and finally let him go.From this point of view, the relationship between the two may not be as simple as colleagues.

"Just like Ah Yan and I, you are the same as Xiao Xun, there is no difference at all."

Lu Xi finally understood why his grandfather felt that this person was competent. Since his grandfather knew about the relationship between the two and even spoke for them, it is likely that these two people have a very close relationship with his grandfather and grandmother.The grandfather naturally knew the situation of the children they raised. Thinking of Xia Ziyu and Cheng Yu's behavior, Lu Bi also had some guesses about Xia Chu. I'm afraid Xia Chu didn't want others to speculate too much about their family's situation. Bar?

The next day, after Lu Xun confessed a few words, he left the palace with Wu Xun. On the way, Lu Xun told Wu Xun about the situation, and Wu Xun thought for a long time: "I may have seen the Xia Ziyu and Cheng Yu you mentioned, I'm not sure though. I just remember one guy with a cold face who didn't dare ask his name, but the candy corn they gave me was delicious."

Lu Xi laughed loudly: "The two of them are in charge of Dali Temple Minister and Criminal Department respectively, and it's normal to be cold. If they are still in the mansion, you might as well ask for another one."

Wu Xun was a little shy, and muttered: "I'm an adult, I don't eat candy." Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had drifted to the candied haws on the side of the road.

Lu Xi snorted, stopped and bought a bunch: "Do you want to eat hawthorn?"

"Eat." Wu Xun couldn't help but licked the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the red rock candy hawthorn.Lu Xi nodded: "Then I'll give you the sugar shell after I eat it."

Wu Xun stood there with his mouth wide open, and only after a while did he catch up and grab the bunch of candied haws. The little guy was obviously bullying.

The two fought and fought all the way to the Xia Mansion, the gate of the Xia Mansion was closed, and Lu Xi raised his hand and knocked on the iron ring.Not long after, the door was opened a crack, and an old butler came to open the door, seeing two unfamiliar faces, hesitantly asked, "Who are you two?"

Lu Xi smiled and said, "I'm your lord's colleague, my humble surname is Lu, I'd like to trouble the old man to inform you."

As the saying goes, if you don't reach out to hit the smiling person, the old housekeeper waved his hands again and again: "My lord is serious, I'm going to report to my lord, please wait a moment."

As soon as the old housekeeper went in to report, Xia Chu frowned. Where did he get his colleague named Lu?Lu Naiguo's surname, could it be some little prince?

Normally, Xia Chu would just make excuses and not go see him, but in the recent troubled season, the court is changing rapidly, and Xia Chu, a salted fish, dare not take the risk: "I'll go and see."

When Xia Chu saw Lu Xi standing outside the door, she was completely shocked: "Too—"

Lu Xi made a "silence" gesture: "There are so many people, is it convenient for you to enter the mansion and talk about it?"

It was convenient even if it was inconvenient, Xia Chu hurriedly invited Lu Xun and Wu Xun into the mansion. After the door of the mansion was closed, Xia Chu bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Then he nodded at Wu Xun, "General Wu."

The old butler's legs gave way, why, why, why, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Xia Chu led Lu Yu and Wu Xun to the pavilion in the center of the lake, and after the three of them sat down, Xia Chu said, "Your Highness, I don't know what's going on when you come to the humble house in person?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just that I have always had a doubt in my heart, and I can't figure it out. I happened to pass by Mr. Xia's mansion, and I wanted to chat with Mr. Xia. Maybe it can solve the problem in Gu's heart."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I hope that I can use my life's knowledge to help His Highness solve problems."

"I'm going to go to the Minhai area first this time. The Qi brothers are prevalent in the Minhai. I wonder if Master Xia knows?"

Xia Chu was taken aback, and immediately replied: "Duoqi brothers in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, men live together like husband and wife, the elder is the brother, and the younger is the younger brother. It is a custom to hire each other with courtesy."

Lu Xi nodded with satisfaction: "I don't know how Master Xia thinks about this matter?"

Xia Chu's heart shuddered, and he didn't know why His Royal Highness was interested in this matter, and he still asked himself.Xia Chu was worried, worried that the two fathers would be involved in this matter, but it was impossible for the crown prince not to answer the questions, so Xia Chu could only vaguely say: "The south wind is good in Fujian, and it is a custom for brothers and sisters, not ministers and others." something that can interfere."

"Gu is a little emotional. There are also people who are good at Nanfeng in Beijing, but most of them go to the theater to see the actor. There are many people in Jiangnan who are good at Nanfeng, but they mostly go to Qinlou and Chu Pavilion.

People with good land and south wind can act like husband and wife, which is more sincere. "

Seeing that Lu Xi did not ask for an order to prohibit this matter, Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "Perhaps it is because there are many wealthy families in the south of the capital, and most of them hope that the incense will continue, so they don't marry male wives. As far as I know, the contract in Fujian Brothers are actually mostly ordinary people.”

"From this point of view, these officials and merchants are not as good as ordinary people, and the people still know how to treat each other honestly."

Xia Chu laughed and said: "Officials and businessmen are all seeking profit, so they are not as honest as ordinary people. But I also know that some people may not be brothers, but in fact, husband and wife stay together as one, which can be regarded as sincere treatment."

"Master Xia's words are true, but Gu is actually worried about one thing. It is said that yin and yang are in harmony. Is it against the law of heaven to marry a male wife?"

"I don't think it's violated." Xia Chu talked eloquently, "The nature of the universe is yin and yang, and the world is also divided into heaven and earth, so we can know that yin and yang do not refer to men and women. If the two are compatible and complement each other, wouldn't it be more in line with the theory of the universe?"

"What do you think, if two men are in love with each other, should they marry their own wives and continue the incense and secretly communicate with each other, or should they form a husband and wife with no doubts in love?"

Xia Chu said firmly: "We should be husband and wife." Although Xia Chu felt that the questions Lu Xi asked were very strange, and he had always answered Lu Xi's questions carefully, it was really hard for Xia Chu to be ignorant of such questions. Conscience, I said it without thinking.

"Being a husband and wife...then do you know the etiquette of accepting a husband and wife?"

Xia Chu only said that it was not much different from the usual etiquette, and was even more concise than usual, so he heard Lu Xi say, "Does your lord know the etiquette of hiring a princess?"

This matter was even more difficult for Xia Chu. Although Xia Chu didn't understand how the topic changed so quickly, he still quickly explained the process.Lu Xie nodded: "There is still one thing that I don't understand. You said that after entering the palace, the crown princess has worshiped the heavens and the earth and her father and queen, and then she needs to go to Gu's bedroom to wait for Gu to go back, but Gu doesn't understand why this man also wears a phoenix crown and Xiapei A red handkerchief on your head? You also need to sit on the bed in anticipation of giving birth to a grandson?"

Xia Chu was stunned for a moment: "I'm talking about the princess..." At this point, Xia Chu felt something was wrong.

I only heard Lu Xi slowly say——

"Gu is talking about the crown princess, who wants to marry a male concubine, and hopes that the adults will plan the wedding ceremony for Gu."

The author has something to say: Does anyone remember Xia Ziyu and Cheng Yu?

Xia Chu: QAQ I don’t want to remember, I always feel like I’m going to take the blame.
