Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 88 The Subjugated Empress Dowager
There were circle after circle of onlookers outside Qi Guogong's mansion. Everyone crowded in front of the notice board, and some people were reading the content in front of the notice board.
The vigorous and powerful four characters: Husband Recruiting Notice, caught everyone's eyes. From these four characters, the content of the notice can basically be understood, but the conditions listed in the content are even more jaw-dropping.
To recruit a husband is to recruit a son-in-law. It is understandable for a widow to find a man to live again, but isn't it a bit too much for you not to have children for the husband-in-law who recruits a husband?Even if the man is looking for the money and status of Duke Qi, he has already abandoned the dignity of a man, can't he have a child?
Inside the mansion, He Bo and a group of people hid at the door and peeped. They were all stunned. They thought it was cruel for the master to take revenge on his own father with a large sum of money. Now the master's style is more bold. The master's notice is Did you make a special trip to show His Majesty?In other words, is the master planning to tear himself apart with His Majesty?
"The conditions are so harsh, which idiot would dare to come to the door?" The spectators whispered. These are ordinary people in the capital, so they only see the surface of the notice.
Someone pondered for a moment and said: "I think Mrs. Yan is very good. You see, their orphans and widows must find a man to live with, so that the family will not be bullied, but they must be more considerate. We ordinary people have After spending some money, there was a lot of quarrel among the brothers for the family property, not to mention that it was a mansion like the Duke of Qi, and Mrs. Yan's reborn child was not the same father as the young master. Madam? Madam Yan is taking precautions to prevent future troubles. This is a very good way. Besides, Madam Yan did not cheat on the marriage. Her notice of recruiting a husband is clearly written. Madame's condition."
"Scholar, what you said is so serious, I can only say that Mrs. Yan has sacrificed a lot for the young master, and Mrs. Yan is a good mother."
"That's right, if you don't care about the family's status and property, you just don't come to be your son-in-law."
……
He Bo rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Fang Zhao and the boys, "The scholar in the long gown is right, Madam is a great mother."
Fang Zhao nodded again and again. The first master in their hearts is the young master. Now that the wife has made so many sacrifices for the young master, they feel happy!
Yan Feng ran over from the backyard, he was small, he squeezed directly between He Bo and the others, his small eyes were also staring outside, surprised: "He Bo, there are so many people outside, what are they doing around our house?"
He Bo smiled and said: "It's nothing, just to watch the excitement."
Yanfeng pouted: "Are you watching the fun? Nothing interesting happened in our house."
Everyone laughed for a while, and after laughing, they continued to stare outside until the people watching the excitement gradually receded.
In Feng Manor, Feng Ruosu was taking her daughter to study. Her two sons were both attending classes in Feng's school, following their cousins.
She would not have thought of what Yunyao would do before, but now that Yunyao did what she did, she knew Yunyao's intentions after a little thought. She is in the palace.
"Things have come to this, Ah Yan can only live alone. Which man dares to fight against the emperor? Are you not afraid that His Majesty will kill him?" Feng Ruosu sighed, her friend is really in trouble, destined to be alone.
Cheng En Gong Mansion.
As Zhou Wei is the queen, her father was conferred the title of Duke Cheng'eng, and her grandfather was conferred the title of Prince Taifu. Zhou Taifu is too old to be an official in the court, and only stays at home to take care of her.
He didn't know about what the queen and Mrs. Zhou did last time, and he only asked about it after the founding ceremony. Since then, he has been focusing on Yunyao.
"A notice to recruit a husband?" Zhou Taifu stroked his beard, let out a heavy breath, and gave his son a hard look. This guy who has done more than succeed in his affairs can't even control his wife, causing his granddaughter to misjudge the situation. In vain, he missed the opportunity to establish a country and become famous.
Zhou Ruibin shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head, with an air of listening attentively.
Zhou Taifu squinted his eyes and said: "Tell Wei'er, don't put your energy on Madam Yan. Once the notice of husband recruitment is issued, she will no longer be able to enter the palace. Even if Your Majesty is Madam Yan's guest in the curtain, it will not be good for Wei'er." Any threats, her first task now is to be a good queen, to please His Majesty, and then give birth to a prince as soon as possible."
Zhou Ruibin nodded nunuo, Zhou Taifu said again: "Also, tell Wei'er not to do any dirty tricks to the concubines in the harem, especially not to touch the children, no matter who has children, Wei'er may not like it, but not You can do it, people must have a bottom line, otherwise once there is no bottom line, sooner or later they will fall off the line."
Royal Palace.
The queen only heard about this incident at around noon. She was surprised, and the shower in her hand fell to the ground, spilling water all over the floor. After a long time, she couldn't help smiling wryly. Such as poor clothes.
After a while, her maid of honor came to her side and handed her a note. The queen opened it and looked dazed. She took a deep breath, no matter what, she chose this road, and she had to go on it.
"Is Your Majesty very angry?" Except for the first night when they entered Beijing, His Majesty has never been in the harem for the past few months. He knew that he was busy, but no matter how busy he was, he could still leave the palace every few days.
Zhou Wei shook her head, they are not the same, so don't put your mind on her, her grandfather is right, her mind should be on His Majesty now, she has to give birth to a child quickly, otherwise when there are more and more women in the harem, She, the queen, can't sit still.
In other palaces, the concubines reacted differently.
Concubine Wu smiled coldly, and directly crushed the chrysanthemum in her hand, "A woman who doesn't know how to praise! But it's okay, if she doesn't enter the palace, I will lose a strong enemy. Now I can't take care of her. Your majesty's heart is coaxed back, this time your majesty is angry because I stretched my hand too far, from now on I will be my favorite concubine, and it is best to give birth to your majesty's first child."
Concubine Wu lowered her head and stroked her abdomen. She spent the longest time with His Majesty, but His Majesty has been fighting outside. In fact, the two of them rarely share the same bed. How could she be pregnant?
"Xiuju, do you have any news about the secret recipe for childbirth Madam mentioned last time?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Madam sent a message yesterday that the secret formula for conceiving a child has been found, and now I am waiting for the doctor's examination. If there is no side effect, I dare to give it to your Majesty."
Concubine Wu responded, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty's heart is still on that woman. After a while, His Majesty will turn his eyes back to the harem."
Several concubines are thinking, His Majesty is in a bad mood, can they act as Xie Yuhua?Then jump out and become the emperor's new favorite?They must win the favor and have children before the new concubine enters the palace, otherwise there will be more and more women in the harem, even if they are in high positions, the favor they will get is limited.
In the evening, Yunyao returned home from Guiyunlou. Today is the third day since the restaurant opened, so although she released such a big news in the morning, she still visited the restaurant during the day, but she didn't bring Yanfeng with her. Staying in the mansion, little four, five, six and little yellow cats accompany him, so he can have fun too.
After dinner, Yunyao took Yanfeng to read and read, and when Xu Shizheng came, she coaxed the little guy to bed.
When she walked out of the bedroom door, she saw Wei Huanling standing on the porch, staring at the black sky in a daze. Wei Huanling was learning to read the books and manage the shop. She went to Jinxiu Building during the day and stayed there for a whole day, half I didn't return home until afternoon.
"Thinking about Xu Xiangguang?" Yun Yao walked up to Wei Huanling, glanced at her and said.
Xu Xiangguang went to suppress the bandits, and he couldn't come back years ago.
Wei Huanling blinked: "He said he would ask me to marry him after he returned to Beijing. I asked him if His Majesty would interfere in his marriage. He said that His Majesty would not interfere, as he wished, and His Majesty was very much in favor of me. and his affairs."
"And then?" Yun Yao frowned: "Then what are you worrying about?"
Wei Huan sighed and smiled: "It's okay, I was just thinking about who is more important to him, Your Majesty or I."
Yun Yao didn't know why she cared about this, it was as embarrassing as asking a man 'whom mother and daughter-in-law fell into the river to save', not to mention are the two of them comparable?
"Does Xu Xiangguang like the emperor? He only uses you as a shield when he pursues you?" Yun Yao couldn't help teasing.
Wei Huanling was stunned, and burst out laughing, laughing hard, "Sister, your words are so funny!"
Laughter drifted with the wind, Yunyao is not afraid of the cold because of the abundant internal energy in her body, she patted Wei Huanling on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, sometimes it's much more comfortable not to get married."
Wei Huanling smiled: "Okay, thank you sister for taking me in." During the day, she ran into her aunt in Jinxiu Tower. The aunt came into the shop to buy new clothes for her cousin. The moment she saw her, the aunt panicked and dropped her hands. I bought the fabrics and ready-made clothes I was looking at, dragged my cousin and left.
After walking two steps, she turned back again: "Sister, if you don't show His Majesty face like this, what will you do if His Majesty gets angry?"
Yun Yao smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, I will deal with it."
Wei Huanling dubiously went back to her yard to rest, Yun Yao looked up at the sky covered by black clouds, shrugged her shoulders, and the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, unless Pei Zhen really broke her face!
Before going to bed, Yun Yao would release her spiritual consciousness to walk around the mansion to ensure the safety of the mansion. She didn't want her spiritual consciousness to come to the gate, only to see the dark-faced Emperor enter the door.
Yun Yao was shocked, why did this person come again?Lai Xingshi asked the crime?He ran away in anger yesterday, and today she has posted a notice, what else does he want to do?
She hurried out of the yard, went to the front hall, and then met Pei Yi in the front yard!
Pei Jin stopped immediately, then quickened his pace in an instant, walked in front of Yunyao, looked down at her, and said: "Recruiting husband notice, Yan Ran, you can really do it! But people are afraid of death, you have such a thought I'm afraid I'm going to fail." Who would dare to snatch the person he likes?
Yun Yao rolled her eyes in her heart, she was not called Yan Ran, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty, this is a woman's business."
The expression on Pei Jin's face moved slightly, the anger that had been suppressed before rose up again, but he suppressed it again, "You!"
Yun Yao saluted with blessings: "It's late at night, please return to the palace, Your Majesty. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you, Your Majesty, should guarantee your own safety for the people of the world." Although this person is narcissistic and can't understand human words, he It is enough to be good to the people.
"I thank Madam for your concern!" Pei Yi said every word, quite like gnashing his teeth.He stretched out his hand to pull Yunyao, but Yunyao saw the opportunity and immediately took a few steps back. In terms of body speed, he could never catch up with her.
Pei Qin's outstretched hand froze, then quickly retracted it, turned around and strode away.
Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, so this person came to seek anger?
Yun Yao didn't take it seriously, but after five days, Wang Sheng came to report the matter, saying that the harem is now in full bloom, and besides the original one empress and five concubines, there are three more low-ranking concubines born as court ladies, one canonized In order to follow the nobles of the fourth rank, two of them were canonized as talents of the fifth rank.
"I know this. Is there anything more special?" She didn't stop Wang Sheng from inquiring about the affairs in the palace, nor would she refuse to hear what happened in the harem. Although these news may be useless, what about the future?Maybe it will be useful in the future.
Wang Sheng was the chief eunuch of the former imperial palace, and now the eunuchs of the Daming Imperial Palace are all recalled former eunuchs. It is much easier for Wang Sheng to get news from them than others.
Wang Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at Yunyao, then said: "There has been some progress in negotiating with Ba Xiong sent by the imperial court to Haicheng. Maybe in spring, Ba Xiong will go to Beijing to attend the Ming Emperor's Longevity Banquet."
"That's it, I know, thank you for your hard work." Yun Yao held her chin, thinking whether it was that guy or not, and she should understand after he went to Beijing.
Before stepping back, Wang Sheng said: "Master, the Ming Emperor's first palace banquet will be held tomorrow. It will be very grand and there will be a lot of people. The old servant will follow into the palace."
He is not as familiar with anyone in the palace, for the safety of the little master, he will do his part!
Yun Yao nodded: "Well, you and Gao Qi, Fang Zhao and Xue Yong are together. Fang Zhao is smart and Xue Yong has strength. You all go to the palace and take good care of Feng'er."
On the second day, in the middle of the afternoon, Yunyao took Yanfeng into the palace in a carriage. She was accompanied by maids Xiaolan and Xiaoxiang. The two maids were a little timid. They had never even seen the county magistrate's wife's flower viewing banquet before. But, let alone a state banquet.
The first state banquet of Ming Dynasty was grand, delicate and simple.
Yunyao is holding Yanfeng. She is wearing very clean clothes this time. The national uniform on Yanfeng's body is mainly black and blue. As the youngest Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Yanfeng has been baptized by the eyes of many people. The little guy was so shy that he hid in Yunyao's arms.
Yuening Palace is a place where the female relatives rest temporarily. Yun Yao sat down at any place. Wang Sheng, Xiao Lan and other servants stood behind her. She put Yan Feng down on the ground, and the little guy's eyes were rolling Then, there were many people in the hall, and many children who were about his size.
However, those children all ran to the side hall to play, where there were specially prepared toys by the palace, not far away, and the noise of the children could still be heard.
Yun Yao didn't stop Yan Feng, the little guy was very curious, rolled his eyes, and ran to the side hall in a short while, Wang Sheng and the others followed.
No one talked to Yunyao, and Yunyao was happy and at ease. She sipped tea and ate snacks, feeling very comfortable, but those who peeped at her while talking with others were dumb, she was in a good mood!
"Mrs. Feng." Seeing someone walking towards her, Yun Yao stood up quickly. This luxuriously dressed lady was Feng Ruosu's mother.
"Mrs. Yan." Mrs. Feng came to Yunyao's place just after entering the palace, after exchanging greetings with her friends.
Both of them were a bit unfamiliar, and they sat down next to each other before Yun Yao said: "Auntie and Su Su can call me Ah Yan together."
Mrs. Feng smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she naturally saw the curiosity of the other ladies in the hall, but Mrs. Cheng Engong's face clearly showed displeasure, which was strange, as the two of them had a pleasant conversation just now.
"Okay, Ah Yan, Susu has been telling me to take care of you more, that girl is getting more and more airy now."
Taking Feng Ruosu as the focus of the topic, the conversation between Yun Yao and Mrs. Feng was quite pleasant. Later, Mrs. Feng's eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law came together, and there were more people in the palace, and their seats were all full .
The palace banquet started at Xu time, and half an hour before the palace banquet, the gate of the palace was closed, and everyone was waiting to enter Ganquan Palace to participate in the banquet.
Yun Yao was still worried about what Pei Zhen would do again, but she was relieved when nothing happened when she entered Ganquan Palace.However, after entering the palace and seeing the location of the Duke of Qi's mansion, she was dumbfounded again. The Duke of Qi's mansion was actually ranked at the top of the people's rank, below the king's rank, but there are not many people in the Pei clan, there are only two princes and one princess. .
The palace servants guided her over, then Shi Li stepped back, Yun Yao glanced silently, then put Yan Feng on the seat and sat down, she also sat down, Wang Sheng and Gao Qi knelt behind them, and Fang Zhao Waiting together with Xiaolan and other servants in the side hall.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Yan Feng tugged at Yun Yao's sleeve, looking curiously at the people and things in the hall. He had never been to Ganquan Palace before, otherwise the little guy's memory is so good, there should be some Impressions are.
Yun Yao said in a low voice: "Feng'er be good, don't make any noise."
The little guy immediately covered his mouth, looked left and right, and after a while, he started talking softly with the little girl from Cheng'en Gong's mansion next to him.
Just as Yunyao bowed her head, all the concubines in the harem had arrived, the concubines were closest to the top, the fifth concubine was at the front, and the nobles and talented people on the new side were at the back.
The three low-ranking concubines sat together with lowered eyebrows, talking in a low voice. They only glanced at Yunyao at the beginning, and then realized that they never stayed on her body.
Yun Yao looked around, and sure enough there were beauties coming out of the palace, but the three new concubines had pretty faces, but their temperaments were pretty much the same.
On the opposite side of the main hall, there were a lot of officials, and the officials were obviously more active than the women's family members. They were holding on to the wine glasses and were already drinking.
After hearing the eunuch's singing, the figures of the emperor and empress appeared in everyone's sight, and the hall fell silent immediately, everyone bowed their heads until the emperor's voice came.
Pei Yi didn't have much expression, at best he was serious, at worst he was expressionless, his eyes swept over Yun Yao vaguely, but it was a pity that Yun Yao didn't look up at all.
Zhou Wei was in a good mood these days, her eyes scanned around, directly passed Yunyao, and then passed over the concubine, she turned her gaze away, turned her head and spoke gently to Pei Zhen.
There was a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and then it fell silent.
If the emperor hadn't been eyeing her, Yun Yao felt that she was very interested in state banquets, with all kinds of life, each singing a big show in their own field, thinking that others would not be able to find out.
"Mom, this is soft and delicious." Yanfeng pointed at the red persimmons on the plate, and was about to grab them. Yun Yao hurriedly held down one, put one on the plate, divided it into several pieces, and then picked up a small piece feed him.
The little guy was smiling, and someone was upset.
Pei Qin narrowed his eyes, feeling unbearable resentment in his heart, and looked away, just in time for the queen to toast him, he picked up the glass and drank it down.
The palace banquet is quite boring, Yunyao thought, after a year or two, the palace banquet will be interesting, I remember that in the novel she read, every time the palace banquet, the harem concubines would make a fuss, the most common thing It is miscarriage, slippery tire.
At the time of Haishi, when the palace banquet was over, Yunyao was waiting to leave the palace with Yanfeng who was sleeping in her arms. She was located at the innermost side of the hall. She had to wait for all the people in front of her to leave before she could leave smoothly. Passage, they are going back to the harem.
In the end, when she walked to the entrance of the main hall of Ganquan Palace, there were only the family of the two princes and the family of the princess left, and she was not familiar with them, so they were just nodding acquaintances.
As soon as she walked out of Ganquan Palace, she was stopped by the palace guards.
"Ma'am, Your Majesty wants to see you!" Judging from the eunuch's clothes, his status is not low, and he should be the emperor's personal chief executive.
Wang Sheng and Gao Qi looked at Li Liang in unison. Li Liang didn't dare to look at Wang Sheng and Gao Qi. They were deadlocked here. The two princes, princesses, and princesses immediately looked away, and then quickly disappeared. In sight, Yun Yao and the others were the only people at the entrance of the main hall of Ganquan Palace.
Yun Yao looked at the little guy who was sleeping in the dark in her arms, and said: "It's late at night, it's not good for women to disturb His Majesty's rest."
Li Liang Alexander, he didn't dare to be rough, not to mention that his legs were weak when he heard his wife's voice, not to mention the former chief executive looked at him with tiger eyes.
Pei Yi was actually not far away, he was waiting in the side hall, and after waiting for a long time for no one, he knew that Li Liang's incompetent guy couldn't invite anyone, so he had no choice but to come out by himself.
"See Your Majesty." Yun Yao saluted.
Pei Zhen felt a little apprehensive now, but his face was expressionless, so others couldn't see it.
"Madam is getting more and more daring, and I don't even listen to my declaration." He strolled to Yunyao's side, and glanced at the little guy in her arms, "I don't want to do anything to this brat, Madam better Don't challenge my temper."
Yun Yao frowned, but she still turned around and handed Yan Feng to Wang Sheng, who quickly hugged her tightly like a treasure in the world.
Yun Yao followed Pei Zhen to the side hall, Wang Sheng and the others were waiting at the entrance of the main hall, Li Liang smiled awkwardly at Wang Sheng and Gao Qi, then stepped forward a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Director, don't worry , Your Majesty will not do anything to Madam."
In the side hall, Yun Yao saw that Pei Zhen was silent, so she had to take the initiative to ask: "Is your majesty doing something? It's late at night, it's time to rest."
Pei Jin turned around quickly, took a few steps closer to Yunyao, and asked nonchalantly, "What kind of man do you like? Yan Ling? As far as I know, he is a weak and incompetent person. Do you like him?" He what?"
Yun Yao pondered for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "The deceased is gone, I don't want to discuss Yan Ling anymore. I was kind to Yan Feng not because of Yan Ling, but because he is my son. A mother doesn't love her son. Is this possible? Without Yanfeng, I would have been martyred in the first place."
"Really?" Pei Yi murmured: "It's only natural for a mother to love her son." But what's the matter, because of that brat, he couldn't be reconciled to this woman's rejection of him!
"Last time you said that you should not be my concubine, I thought about it carefully, and it is indeed true. Those who have been queens should disdain the position of noble concubine."
Before Pei Yi could finish speaking, Yun Yao interrupted him: "I am very grateful to Your Majesty for agreeing to the deal with me. This deal is a bit absurd. Although you may be seeking wealth, it is not for yourself, but for the people of the world. .And I was Empress Daqi, Your Majesty is the Emperor of Ming, no matter what you say, we met at the wrong time."
Pei Jin smiled coldly: "You mean to say that even if I offer you the position of queen, you won't agree to be friends with me?"
After being silent for a while, Yun Yao nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, what do you like in me? In my opinion, the empress and the concubines are the most outstanding women in Ming Dynasty, and they treat you very well. Sincerely...to me, you are just a curiosity."
Pei Qin was suddenly depressed, this woman has many excuses.
"No matter what you say, I will not let any man get close to you!" Otherwise he will kill him!
Coming out of the side hall, Li Liang personally sent Yunyao and his party out of the palace. In the carriage, Yunyao immediately worried about the safety of Lixie. This guy has no memory, only obsession. I will really try to kill him!
The author has something to say: tomorrow will be early, have a good weekend (^o^)/~
The vigorous and powerful four characters: Husband Recruiting Notice, caught everyone's eyes. From these four characters, the content of the notice can basically be understood, but the conditions listed in the content are even more jaw-dropping.
To recruit a husband is to recruit a son-in-law. It is understandable for a widow to find a man to live again, but isn't it a bit too much for you not to have children for the husband-in-law who recruits a husband?Even if the man is looking for the money and status of Duke Qi, he has already abandoned the dignity of a man, can't he have a child?
Inside the mansion, He Bo and a group of people hid at the door and peeped. They were all stunned. They thought it was cruel for the master to take revenge on his own father with a large sum of money. Now the master's style is more bold. The master's notice is Did you make a special trip to show His Majesty?In other words, is the master planning to tear himself apart with His Majesty?
"The conditions are so harsh, which idiot would dare to come to the door?" The spectators whispered. These are ordinary people in the capital, so they only see the surface of the notice.
Someone pondered for a moment and said: "I think Mrs. Yan is very good.

Madame's condition."
"Scholar, what you said is so serious, I can only say that Mrs. Yan has sacrificed a lot for the young master, and Mrs. Yan is a good mother."
"That's right, if you don't care about the family's status and property, you just don't come to be your son-in-law."
……
He Bo rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Fang Zhao and the boys, "The scholar in the long gown is right, Madam is a great mother."
Fang Zhao nodded again and again. The first master in their hearts is the young master. Now that the wife has made so many sacrifices for the young master, they feel happy!
Yan Feng ran over from the backyard, he was small, he squeezed directly between He Bo and the others, his small eyes were also staring outside, surprised: "He Bo, there are so many people outside, what are they doing around our house?"
He Bo smiled and said: "It's nothing, just to watch the excitement."
Yanfeng pouted: "Are you watching the fun? Nothing interesting happened in our house."
Everyone laughed for a while, and after laughing, they continued to stare outside until the people watching the excitement gradually receded.
In Feng Manor, Feng Ruosu was taking her daughter to study. Her two sons were both attending classes in Feng's school, following their cousins.
She would not have thought of what Yunyao would do before, but now that Yunyao did what she did, she knew Yunyao's intentions after a little thought. She is in the palace.
"Things have come to this, Ah Yan can only live alone. Which man dares to fight against the emperor? Are you not afraid that His Majesty will kill him?" Feng Ruosu sighed, her friend is really in trouble, destined to be alone.
Cheng En Gong Mansion.
As Zhou Wei is the queen, her father was conferred the title of Duke Cheng'eng, and her grandfather was conferred the title of Prince Taifu. Zhou Taifu is too old to be an official in the court, and only stays at home to take care of her.
He didn't know about what the queen and Mrs. Zhou did last time, and he only asked about it after the founding ceremony. Since then, he has been focusing on Yunyao.
"A notice to recruit a husband?" Zhou Taifu stroked his beard, let out a heavy breath, and gave his son a hard look. This guy who has done more than succeed in his affairs can't even control his wife, causing his granddaughter to misjudge the situation.

Zhou Ruibin shrank his neck, quickly lowered his head, with an air of listening attentively.

Zhou Ruibin nodded nunuo, Zhou Taifu said again: "Also, tell Wei'er not to do any dirty tricks to the concubines in the harem, especially not to touch the children, no matter who has children, Wei'er may not like it, but not You can do it, people must have a bottom line, otherwise once there is no bottom line, sooner or later they will fall off the line."
Royal Palace.
The queen only heard about this incident at around noon. She was surprised, and the shower in her hand fell to the ground, spilling water all over the floor. After a long time, she couldn't help smiling wryly. Such as poor clothes.
After a while, her maid of honor came to her side and handed her a note. The queen opened it and looked dazed. She took a deep breath, no matter what, she chose this road, and she had to go on it.
"Is Your Majesty very angry?" Except for the first night when they entered Beijing, His Majesty has never been in the harem for the past few months. He knew that he was busy, but no matter how busy he was, he could still leave the palace every few days.
Zhou Wei shook her head, they are not the same, so don't put your mind on her, her grandfather is right, her mind should be on His Majesty now, she has to give birth to a child quickly, otherwise when there are more and more women in the harem, She, the queen, can't sit still.

Concubine Wu smiled coldly, and directly crushed the chrysanthemum in her hand, "A woman who doesn't know how to praise! But it's okay, if she doesn't enter the palace, I will lose a strong enemy. Now I can't take care of her. Your majesty's heart is coaxed back, this time your majesty is angry because I stretched my hand too far, from now on I will be my favorite concubine, and it is best to give birth to your majesty's first child."
Concubine Wu lowered her head and stroked her abdomen. She spent the longest time with His Majesty, but His Majesty has been fighting outside. In fact, the two of them rarely share the same bed. How could she be pregnant?
"Xiuju, do you have any news about the secret recipe for childbirth Madam mentioned last time?"

Concubine Wu responded, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty's heart is still on that woman. After a while, His Majesty will turn his eyes back to the harem."
Several concubines are thinking, His Majesty is in a bad mood, can they act as Xie Yuhua?Then jump out and become the emperor's new favorite?They must win the favor and have children before the new concubine enters the palace, otherwise there will be more and more women in the harem, even if they are in high positions, the favor they will get is limited.
In the evening, Yunyao returned home from Guiyunlou. Today is the third day since the restaurant opened, so although she released such a big news in the morning, she still visited the restaurant during the day, but she didn't bring Yanfeng with her. Staying in the mansion, little four, five, six and little yellow cats accompany him, so he can have fun too.
After dinner, Yunyao took Yanfeng to read and read, and when Xu Shizheng came, she coaxed the little guy to bed.
When she walked out of the bedroom door, she saw Wei Huanling standing on the porch, staring at the black sky in a daze. Wei Huanling was learning to read the books and manage the shop. She went to Jinxiu Building during the day and stayed there for a whole day, half I didn't return home until afternoon.
"Thinking about Xu Xiangguang?" Yun Yao walked up to Wei Huanling, glanced at her and said.
Xu Xiangguang went to suppress the bandits, and he couldn't come back years ago.
Wei Huanling blinked: "He said he would ask me to marry him after he returned to Beijing. I asked him if His Majesty would interfere in his marriage. He said that His Majesty would not interfere, as he wished, and His Majesty was very much in favor of me. and his affairs."
"And then?" Yun Yao frowned: "Then what are you worrying about?"
Wei Huan sighed and smiled: "It's okay, I was just thinking about who is more important to him, Your Majesty or I."
Yun Yao didn't know why she cared about this, it was as embarrassing as asking a man 'whom mother and daughter-in-law fell into the river to save', not to mention are the two of them comparable?
"Does Xu Xiangguang like the emperor? He only uses you as a shield when he pursues you?" Yun Yao couldn't help teasing.
Wei Huanling was stunned, and burst out laughing, laughing hard, "Sister, your words are so funny!"
Laughter drifted with the wind, Yunyao is not afraid of the cold because of the abundant internal energy in her body, she patted Wei Huanling on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, sometimes it's much more comfortable not to get married."
Wei Huanling smiled: "Okay, thank you sister for taking me in." During the day, she ran into her aunt in Jinxiu Tower. The aunt came into the shop to buy new clothes for her cousin. The moment she saw her, the aunt panicked and dropped her hands. I bought the fabrics and ready-made clothes I was looking at, dragged my cousin and left.
After walking two steps, she turned back again: "Sister, if you don't show His Majesty face like this, what will you do if His Majesty gets angry?"
Yun Yao smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, I will deal with it."
Wei Huanling dubiously went back to her yard to rest, Yun Yao looked up at the sky covered by black clouds, shrugged her shoulders, and the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, unless Pei Zhen really broke her face!
Before going to bed, Yun Yao would release her spiritual consciousness to walk around the mansion to ensure the safety of the mansion. She didn't want her spiritual consciousness to come to the gate, only to see the dark-faced Emperor enter the door.
Yun Yao was shocked, why did this person come again?Lai Xingshi asked the crime?He ran away in anger yesterday, and today she has posted a notice, what else does he want to do?
She hurried out of the yard, went to the front hall, and then met Pei Yi in the front yard!
Pei Jin stopped immediately, then quickened his pace in an instant, walked in front of Yunyao, looked down at her, and said: "Recruiting husband notice, Yan Ran, you can really do it! But people are afraid of death, you have such a thought I'm afraid I'm going to fail." Who would dare to snatch the person he likes?
Yun Yao rolled her eyes in her heart, she was not called Yan Ran, "Don't worry about it, Your Majesty, this is a woman's business."
The expression on Pei Jin's face moved slightly, the anger that had been suppressed before rose up again, but he suppressed it again, "You!"
Yun Yao saluted with blessings: "It's late at night, please return to the palace, Your Majesty. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you, Your Majesty, should guarantee your own safety for the people of the world." Although this person is narcissistic and can't understand human words, he It is enough to be good to the people.
"I thank Madam for your concern!" Pei Yi said every word, quite like gnashing his teeth.He stretched out his hand to pull Yunyao, but Yunyao saw the opportunity and immediately took a few steps back. In terms of body speed, he could never catch up with her.
Pei Qin's outstretched hand froze, then quickly retracted it, turned around and strode away.
Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, so this person came to seek anger?
Yun Yao didn't take it seriously, but after five days, Wang Sheng came to report the matter, saying that the harem is now in full bloom, and besides the original one empress and five concubines, there are three more low-ranking concubines born as court ladies, one canonized In order to follow the nobles of the fourth rank, two of them were canonized as talents of the fifth rank.
"I know this. Is there anything more special?" She didn't stop Wang Sheng from inquiring about the affairs in the palace, nor would she refuse to hear what happened in the harem. Although these news may be useless, what about the future?Maybe it will be useful in the future.
Wang Sheng was the chief eunuch of the former imperial palace, and now the eunuchs of the Daming Imperial Palace are all recalled former eunuchs. It is much easier for Wang Sheng to get news from them than others.
Wang Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at Yunyao, then said: "There has been some progress in negotiating with Ba Xiong sent by the imperial court to Haicheng. Maybe in spring, Ba Xiong will go to Beijing to attend the Ming Emperor's Longevity Banquet."
"That's it, I know, thank you for your hard work." Yun Yao held her chin, thinking whether it was that guy or not, and she should understand after he went to Beijing.
Before stepping back, Wang Sheng said: "Master, the Ming Emperor's first palace banquet will be held tomorrow. It will be very grand and there will be a lot of people. The old servant will follow into the palace."
He is not as familiar with anyone in the palace, for the safety of the little master, he will do his part!
Yun Yao nodded: "Well, you and Gao Qi, Fang Zhao and Xue Yong are together. Fang Zhao is smart and Xue Yong has strength. You all go to the palace and take good care of Feng'er."
On the second day, in the middle of the afternoon, Yunyao took Yanfeng into the palace in a carriage. She was accompanied by maids Xiaolan and Xiaoxiang. The two maids were a little timid. They had never even seen the county magistrate's wife's flower viewing banquet before. But, let alone a state banquet.
The first state banquet of Ming Dynasty was grand, delicate and simple.
Yunyao is holding Yanfeng. She is wearing very clean clothes this time. The national uniform on Yanfeng's body is mainly black and blue. As the youngest Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Yanfeng has been baptized by the eyes of many people. The little guy was so shy that he hid in Yunyao's arms.
Yuening Palace is a place where the female relatives rest temporarily. Yun Yao sat down at any place. Wang Sheng, Xiao Lan and other servants stood behind her. She put Yan Feng down on the ground, and the little guy's eyes were rolling Then, there were many people in the hall, and many children who were about his size.
However, those children all ran to the side hall to play, where there were specially prepared toys by the palace, not far away, and the noise of the children could still be heard.
Yun Yao didn't stop Yan Feng, the little guy was very curious, rolled his eyes, and ran to the side hall in a short while, Wang Sheng and the others followed.
No one talked to Yunyao, and Yunyao was happy and at ease. She sipped tea and ate snacks, feeling very comfortable, but those who peeped at her while talking with others were dumb, she was in a good mood!
"Mrs. Feng." Seeing someone walking towards her, Yun Yao stood up quickly. This luxuriously dressed lady was Feng Ruosu's mother.
"Mrs. Yan." Mrs. Feng came to Yunyao's place just after entering the palace, after exchanging greetings with her friends.
Both of them were a bit unfamiliar, and they sat down next to each other before Yun Yao said: "Auntie and Su Su can call me Ah Yan together."
Mrs. Feng smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she naturally saw the curiosity of the other ladies in the hall, but Mrs. Cheng Engong's face clearly showed displeasure, which was strange, as the two of them had a pleasant conversation just now.
"Okay, Ah Yan, Susu has been telling me to take care of you more, that girl is getting more and more airy now."
Taking Feng Ruosu as the focus of the topic, the conversation between Yun Yao and Mrs. Feng was quite pleasant. Later, Mrs. Feng's eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law came together, and there were more people in the palace, and their seats were all full .
The palace banquet started at Xu time, and half an hour before the palace banquet, the gate of the palace was closed, and everyone was waiting to enter Ganquan Palace to participate in the banquet.
Yun Yao was still worried about what Pei Zhen would do again, but she was relieved when nothing happened when she entered Ganquan Palace.However, after entering the palace and seeing the location of the Duke of Qi's mansion, she was dumbfounded again. The Duke of Qi's mansion was actually ranked at the top of the people's rank, below the king's rank, but there are not many people in the Pei clan, there are only two princes and one princess. .
The palace servants guided her over, then Shi Li stepped back, Yun Yao glanced silently, then put Yan Feng on the seat and sat down, she also sat down, Wang Sheng and Gao Qi knelt behind them, and Fang Zhao Waiting together with Xiaolan and other servants in the side hall.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Yan Feng tugged at Yun Yao's sleeve, looking curiously at the people and things in the hall. He had never been to Ganquan Palace before, otherwise the little guy's memory is so good, there should be some Impressions are.
Yun Yao said in a low voice: "Feng'er be good, don't make any noise."
The little guy immediately covered his mouth, looked left and right, and after a while, he started talking softly with the little girl from Cheng'en Gong's mansion next to him.
Just as Yunyao bowed her head, all the concubines in the harem had arrived, the concubines were closest to the top, the fifth concubine was at the front, and the nobles and talented people on the new side were at the back.
The three low-ranking concubines sat together with lowered eyebrows, talking in a low voice. They only glanced at Yunyao at the beginning, and then realized that they never stayed on her body.
Yun Yao looked around, and sure enough there were beauties coming out of the palace, but the three new concubines had pretty faces, but their temperaments were pretty much the same.
On the opposite side of the main hall, there were a lot of officials, and the officials were obviously more active than the women's family members. They were holding on to the wine glasses and were already drinking.
After hearing the eunuch's singing, the figures of the emperor and empress appeared in everyone's sight, and the hall fell silent immediately, everyone bowed their heads until the emperor's voice came.
Pei Yi didn't have much expression, at best he was serious, at worst he was expressionless, his eyes swept over Yun Yao vaguely, but it was a pity that Yun Yao didn't look up at all.
Zhou Wei was in a good mood these days, her eyes scanned around, directly passed Yunyao, and then passed over the concubine, she turned her gaze away, turned her head and spoke gently to Pei Zhen.
There was a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, and then it fell silent.
If the emperor hadn't been eyeing her, Yun Yao felt that she was very interested in state banquets, with all kinds of life, each singing a big show in their own field, thinking that others would not be able to find out.
"Mom, this is soft and delicious." Yanfeng pointed at the red persimmons on the plate, and was about to grab them. Yun Yao hurriedly held down one, put one on the plate, divided it into several pieces, and then picked up a small piece feed him.
The little guy was smiling, and someone was upset.
Pei Qin narrowed his eyes, feeling unbearable resentment in his heart, and looked away, just in time for the queen to toast him, he picked up the glass and drank it down.
The palace banquet is quite boring, Yunyao thought, after a year or two, the palace banquet will be interesting, I remember that in the novel she read, every time the palace banquet, the harem concubines would make a fuss, the most common thing It is miscarriage, slippery tire.
At the time of Haishi, when the palace banquet was over, Yunyao was waiting to leave the palace with Yanfeng who was sleeping in her arms. She was located at the innermost side of the hall. She had to wait for all the people in front of her to leave before she could leave smoothly. Passage, they are going back to the harem.
In the end, when she walked to the entrance of the main hall of Ganquan Palace, there were only the family of the two princes and the family of the princess left, and she was not familiar with them, so they were just nodding acquaintances.
As soon as she walked out of Ganquan Palace, she was stopped by the palace guards.
"Ma'am, Your Majesty wants to see you!" Judging from the eunuch's clothes, his status is not low, and he should be the emperor's personal chief executive.
Wang Sheng and Gao Qi looked at Li Liang in unison. Li Liang didn't dare to look at Wang Sheng and Gao Qi. They were deadlocked here. The two princes, princesses, and princesses immediately looked away, and then quickly disappeared. In sight, Yun Yao and the others were the only people at the entrance of the main hall of Ganquan Palace.
Yun Yao looked at the little guy who was sleeping in the dark in her arms, and said: "It's late at night, it's not good for women to disturb His Majesty's rest."
Li Liang Alexander, he didn't dare to be rough, not to mention that his legs were weak when he heard his wife's voice, not to mention the former chief executive looked at him with tiger eyes.
Pei Yi was actually not far away, he was waiting in the side hall, and after waiting for a long time for no one, he knew that Li Liang's incompetent guy couldn't invite anyone, so he had no choice but to come out by himself.
"See Your Majesty." Yun Yao saluted.
Pei Zhen felt a little apprehensive now, but his face was expressionless, so others couldn't see it.
"Madam is getting more and more daring, and I don't even listen to my declaration." He strolled to Yunyao's side, and glanced at the little guy in her arms, "I don't want to do anything to this brat, Madam better Don't challenge my temper."
Yun Yao frowned, but she still turned around and handed Yan Feng to Wang Sheng, who quickly hugged her tightly like a treasure in the world.
Yun Yao followed Pei Zhen to the side hall, Wang Sheng and the others were waiting at the entrance of the main hall, Li Liang smiled awkwardly at Wang Sheng and Gao Qi, then stepped forward a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Director, don't worry , Your Majesty will not do anything to Madam."
In the side hall, Yun Yao saw that Pei Zhen was silent, so she had to take the initiative to ask: "Is your majesty doing something? It's late at night, it's time to rest."
Pei Jin turned around quickly, took a few steps closer to Yunyao, and asked nonchalantly, "What kind of man do you like? Yan Ling? As far as I know, he is a weak and incompetent person. Do you like him?" He what?"
Yun Yao pondered for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "The deceased is gone, I don't want to discuss Yan Ling anymore. I was kind to Yan Feng not because of Yan Ling, but because he is my son. A mother doesn't love her son. Is this possible? Without Yanfeng, I would have been martyred in the first place."
"Really?" Pei Yi murmured: "It's only natural for a mother to love her son." But what's the matter, because of that brat, he couldn't be reconciled to this woman's rejection of him!
"Last time you said that you should not be my concubine, I thought about it carefully, and it is indeed true. Those who have been queens should disdain the position of noble concubine."
Before Pei Yi could finish speaking, Yun Yao interrupted him: "I am very grateful to Your Majesty for agreeing to the deal with me. This deal is a bit absurd. Although you may be seeking wealth, it is not for yourself, but for the people of the world. .And I was Empress Daqi, Your Majesty is the Emperor of Ming, no matter what you say, we met at the wrong time."
Pei Jin smiled coldly: "You mean to say that even if I offer you the position of queen, you won't agree to be friends with me?"
After being silent for a while, Yun Yao nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, what do you like in me? In my opinion, the empress and the concubines are the most outstanding women in Ming Dynasty, and they treat you very well. Sincerely...to me, you are just a curiosity."
Pei Qin was suddenly depressed, this woman has many excuses.
"No matter what you say, I will not let any man get close to you!" Otherwise he will kill him!
Coming out of the side hall, Li Liang personally sent Yunyao and his party out of the palace. In the carriage, Yunyao immediately worried about the safety of Lixie. This guy has no memory, only obsession. I will really try to kill him!
The author has something to say: tomorrow will be early, have a good weekend (^o^)/~
