Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Li Quan is the head of the Qianqing Palace, and also the eunuch who serves the emperor personally. Although it is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, he stays with the emperor day and night. He can say that in the Forbidden City, none of the masters, big and small, can compare I know the emperor well, if I hadn't been born with the wrong gender and entered the palace, maybe I could still be a concubine or concubine.

That's it, those little promised little beauties are still holding themselves up one by one, and those concubines are polite when they see themselves, especially in these years, the emperor is getting older, and the little princes have grown up. Sacred Heart, not only the prince, but also those adults whose nostrils are turned up high, who would like to scold him a few times to show their nobility and loyalty to eunuchs, all have to laugh and hold their stinky feet.

Although I often worry about the matter of the Holy Spirit, but people like us who have no roots can live well now, how can we manage the funeral, when the time comes, we will wipe our necks and go down to serve the Lord.Kuang saw that the emperor could still live for many years, so it was too early to talk about this!

Thinking about it this way, who would have thought that the emperor would actually fall asleep at court today? He didn’t wake up after calling out several times. …

Even so, all the officials were still guessing. One must know that yesterday was a public holiday, and the cabinet would not submit papers. Everyone knew this.

So, did the emperor favor his concubine last night so much that he couldn't afford to go to court early, or did the emperor reach that age, the former favored his concubine in his later years, and he didn't know how to measure it, while the latter's ruler was old and frail, the prince was young and powerful, and the princes seized the throne, which would cause turmoil in the court .The veterans who have gone through many dynasties can't help feeling that the sky is about to change again.

Li Quan supported or supported the emperor to get on the dragon, and ordered his disciples to look after the emperor, helped him into the inner palace, and arranged for someone to invite the imperial doctor.The emperor fell asleep facing up, and he didn't dare to specialize in this kind of thing, so he hurriedly ran to the harem, originally in the direction of Chengqian Palace, halfway there, he hurriedly turned to Kunning Palace.

The emperor at that time was named Zhao Ye, who had been on the throne for many years, and the queen mother died young. After giving birth to the eldest prince, Prince Zhao Yujin, her original wife, Empress Sun, died of dystocia.

After that, the Li family was established as the successor. The Li family had no children and no favours, and was cowardly and attached to the emperor. Even so, the emperor trusted Concubine Zhen more. Concubine Zhen came from the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. She is in charge of most of the palace affairs. In addition, there are Concubine De who has the third prince Zhao Yuqi and the ninth prince Zhao Yuwei, Concubine An who has the sixth prince Zhao Yujin, Concubine Rong who has the seventh prince Zhao Yuyin, and the second and third twin princesses. Concubine Shun.Among them, the third prince died when he was three or four years old. In order to ease the pain of losing his son, the emperor carried the fourth prince Zhao Yusheng, who was born to Jiang Zhaoyi who died young, to Concubine De to raise him.

The rest of the princes and concubines were either stupid, died early, were weak, had a low family background, or were rejected by the Holy One, so they were not listed one by one.

This harem has ten points in the world, five points go to Concubine Zhen, one point goes to the empress, three points are shared by the four concubines, and the last one is shared by the rest.

On this day, the queen got up early, looked at the vicissitudes of life in the mirror, and sighed slightly.

She had to return to the Holy Majesty in her early years. At that time, shortly after the former empress passed away, the emperor had no more love with the former empress, and he had a deep love with Concubine Zhen. He was worried that the new empress with a high background would use her status to compare her beloved concubine, so she chose I have a low family background, and I am worried that I will be favored. If I have a child, I will give birth to some bad years for the prince left by my wife. I have never pampered myself from the beginning. She is not tall, and for many years she has been fearful of being a queen, no matter how beautiful her face is, she can't keep it.

The nurse next to her was holding warm goat milk and handing it to the queen, "Mother, today is not a day to greet you, why don't you sleep more?"

The queen took goat's milk, but didn't drink it, "I'm old, how can I sleep."

"Your Majesty, how old is she, compared to..." If Nanny wants to say how younger she is than Concubine Zhen and the Fourth Concubine, she can't say it out of her mouth.

My daughter entered the palace three years after the first empress left, and her actual age is several years younger than Zhen Guifei and the fourth concubine who entered the palace with the first empress. For a generation, the grandma watched her go from a girl who didn't know how to feel sad in the boudoir to an unfavored queen who was trembling in the deep palace and dared not take a wrong step. The nanny seemed to have phlegm stuffed in her throat, unable to speak, and the deep part of her nose was like a sputum. Thousands of sharp thorns were as sore, and tears welled up in the old, dry and dirty eyes, which became more cloudy.Suppress the inner touch, and be humane from the outside

"Qianqing Palace Li Quan, Eunuch Li, please see your empress."

The queen was surprised, "Li Quan, Eunuch Li! Why is he here! Quick, please come in."

The queen didn't like Li Quan. His arrival in the early years meant that the emperor would reprimand him for Concubine Zhen or the prince. These years, he kept his own place and didn't even dare to take more than half of the palace power. In addition, she had no children. better.In the past, Li Quan often went to the Qianqing Palace to flatter him, even if he had something to do here, he only sent someone over, why did he come to him today?

Li Quan entered the inner hall of Kunning Palace and saw the Queen was dressing up, so he didn't dare to take a long look, and said respectfully,

"Empress Empress, the Emperor fell asleep at the morning court today, and after being awakened by the servant, he was still dazed and dazed. The servant did not dare to do anything, so I came here to ask the empress to show me."

"what!"

The queen stood up suddenly.Although the emperor has never doted on her, after being a husband and wife for so many years, the empress somehow knows that he is the most face-saving husband. After a lot of time, she just grasped this point, knowing that the emperor would not dare to leave a reputation of favoring concubines and destroying wives, these two years have been much better, how can such a person fall asleep in front of the officials?

"Where did the emperor rest yesterday?" The queen knew that the emperor fell in love with the beauty from Yangzhou sent by the governor of Jiangnan today, did he lose his sense of proportion there?

"As for the concubine, the master rested alone in the Qianqing Palace last night, and did not invite anyone to accompany him."

How come?The queen walked back and forth, but couldn't think of anything to do. She made people dress up, arranged for Feng Xun, and went to the Qianqing Palace to have a look. Li Quan, somewhat relieved and somewhat resentful, said,

"Why didn't you go to your Concubine Zhen this time?"

Li Quan frowned, but did not raise his head.

"The empress is the wife of the emperor's matchmaker. The empress dowager is gone, and the empress is the closest person to the emperor. In the past, the palace regulations and other things can be arranged by the emperor's temperament. If there is something wrong with the emperor, I must first inform the empress. .”

Although the queen was dissatisfied, but now the emperor didn't understand the matter, and it's not good to offend him early, just let it out.
