Chapter 264: The Position of the Imperial Concubine (End)
In the palatial side hall, two rows of long shelves are lit with candles the size of children's arms, and the lights are bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Sinking wood beams, crystal jade walls, white jade paving, and gorgeous palaces all show the wealth of the royal family.
Emperor Yongzhi is forty-one years old this year, in the supreme position, white and fat, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and civilian clothes. Sitting on the chair, I took a sip of the cold blue snow cream, and the sweet taste soaked in my mouth.
Emperor Yongzhi nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face, and he put the blue and white porcelain bowl of blue snow paste on the tray held by the eunuch, and said to Ning Ru: "Longjiang has a heart." β
Ning Ru, the word Wei Chang, the number Longjiang. The people of Beijing are called Mr. Longjiang. Hanlin origin. He was close to the royal family during the reign of Emperor Taishang. is a distant relative of the royal family. His father was the emperor when he was the emperor. Because of the coup d'Γ©tat of Emperor Yongzhi, he came to power and forced Emperor Taishang to abdicate. As a close confidant of the emperor, he was not welcomed. Therefore, he voluntarily resigned. In the capital, wander the wreckage, look for flowers and willows, and be a rich idler.
Emperor Yongzhi called Ning Ru at this time, which was a slightly intimate performance. Otherwise, he can call Mr. Longjiang's loose official: Xuanyi Lang (Zheng Qipin). Or just by name. It is common for kings to call their courtiers by name.
Compared with this exquisite and delicious blue snow cream, what he valued more was Ning Longjiang's surrender at this time. After eleven years, the South Study, which played an important role in the period of Emperor Taishang, has been abolished by him. At this point, Da Zhou has entered the mature period of his rule. A former courtier like Ning Longjiang, he is now in control and is willing to accept it.
Ning Ru got up from his seat, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your compliment." The minister was terrified. I sighed softly. He still bowed his head! Shame on the Emperor.
At this time, he came to offer the emperor the blue snow paste made by Jia Huan. First, it is to repay Jia Huan's favor and help him open the market, and there is no more stylish ice product than the emperor's praise. Second, he took the opportunity to show his submission to the emperor.
The second reason is the focus of his visit to Daming Palace today. After witnessing Jia Huan's means of persuading the emperor through the Heavenly Sect Fangwang, he understood in his heart: no matter how "wise and godly" the emperor is, he is also a human being.
Secondly, when his friend Han Zihuan was in trouble, he wanted to rescue but couldn't do anything. This life pierced his heart. The so-called rich idlers have no part to speak in government affairs. He wanted to restore the Ning family's former glory. His family is a Zaifu family, he is a two-list jinshi, and he was born in the list.
Of course, there is also something related to his ability to see that the emperor has completed the overall layout of the court and politics after eliminating Scholar Li and cleaned up the traces of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, he decided to become a professional. Only then did I have today's trip to Daming Palace.
Emperor Yongzhi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Speaking in private, Longjiang doesn't need to be so polite!" As he spoke, he said to Xu Yan, the chief eunuch beside him: "You sent Longjiang this blue snow cream to Zhou Guifei and them today." β
Ning Ru hurriedly dissuaded: "Holy Lord, Bixue paste is a dessert and a cold thing. Recently, it is the early autumn season, and eating it late at night may hinder the body of the noble. β
Emperor Yongzhi thought about it, the woman's body was delicate, and eating cold food at night in autumn was not in line with the way of health, so he waved his hand.
Ning Ru said: "Bixue paste is made by a friend of the minister, and he wants to sell it in the capital, so the minister wants to ask the saint to taste one or two for him to use for publicity." β
Emperor Yongzhi laughed, this kind of trivial matter is also an anecdote. He was in a good mood, so he commented a few words, and then asked, "Who made this?" β
Ning Ru said: "Jia Huan, Jia Ziyu." β
Dai Quan, who was waiting in the Daming Palace on the side, said "Huh", with an exaggerated expression.
Emperor Yongzhi glanced at Dai Quan curiously, and said with a smile: "You old thing, what are you weird?" The tone was intimate.
Ning Ru sighed in his heart. No wonder Dai Quan is so powerful outside the palace. Even among the nobles and ministers, there are many people who stutter.
Dai Quan slapped himself in the face, bent down and pleaded guilty: "The old slave was rude in front of the Long Live Lord. Because I remembered something. After a pause, seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, he continued, "The old slave went out of the palace yesterday and returned home. Two brothers from the Jia family came to my house to give gifts. One is called Jia Huan, and the other is Jia Rong. He wants me to take care of his big sister in the palace. Yan Dao is a female history in the Fengzao Palace. I looked at Jia Huan as a scholar, but I didn't expect him to make some food and do business. β
The gentleman is far away from cooking. In addition to the fact that the scholars are in business, this is indeed a bit non-mainstream.
But the real reason is understood.
In fact, in addition to the Jia family who took his way, there is also Xiangyang Hou. Xiangyang Hou wants to push Concubine Zhuang. But Jia Huan was generous, and it was 20,000 taels of silver at a time. He naturally forgot about Xiangyang Hou, who only gave 10,000 taels of silver. happened to use Ning Ru's words to point out the female history of the Jia family.
Xu Yan, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Yongzhi, secretly scolded Dai Quan for being shameless. This old thing is definitely the money of the Jia family! At the critical time of the competition for the concubine, this old man is helping the Jia family to speak.
Emperor Yongzhi laughed, "Haha! That Jia Huanzhen has an impression. Mr. Fang is mainly a scholar who is admitted. He is the youngest person in the dynasty. That's a prodigy. What's so strange about making this snow cream? β
As he spoke, he asked Ning Ru, "I remember that he is Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo?" β
Ning Ru nodded, "Yes, Holy Lord." The grandson of Rong Guogong, the son of Jia Zhengshu, the right senator of the current General Political Division. β
Emperor Yongzhi groaned slightly.
Xu Yan looked at it and had a bad heart. It is estimated that the long-lived lord is thinking about the female history sent to the palace by the family of Rongguo Gong. This may involve the situation inside and outside the palace.
After thinking about it, Xu Yan said seemingly funny: "Long live Lord, the old slave remembers that He Guiren is also the prince of the country who was personally enshrined by Taizu when the dynasty was at its peak. "It's just that the He family is in decline now.
Dai Quan lowered his eyebrows and snorted coldly in his heart. He had long known that He Guiren and Yongchang and the others were close. It seems that Yongchang Horse has taken the path of Manager Xu.
Ning Ru sighed secretly in his heart. He has a family history, and when he looks at the current posture, he knows that the two big eunuchs are "fighting" for the position of the concubine. In fact, who can become a concubine, these two great eunuchs must have a good idea in their hearts. Now it's just for the silver to speak.
He revealed to Jia Huan in advance that Wu Guiren had won the sacred heart and might be on the throne. But I didn't expect Jia Huan's family to have her sister-in-law in the palace. It seems that Jia Huan did not bet on Wu Guiren, but turned to operate his sister to take the position.
However, looking at this posture, it seems to have disrupted the situation.
Hearing Xu Yan's words, Emperor Yongzhi stopped thinking and waved his hand with a smile. He was not unaware of the signs of separation between the two old eunuchs. But as the emperor, the supreme in the world, someone will come to give him news at every moment. How to decide is his business.
Xu Yan glanced at Dai Quan concealedly, and his eyes could not hide his smugness.
Dai Quan was unhappy.
At this time, an old eunuch outside the palace came in. It was the chief eunuch beside Zhou Guifei, Yan Feizhi. and Dai Quan are of the same grade, from the palace supervisor of the fourth grade. Bowing and saluting, "The old slave has seen the Long Live Lord." The concubine was worried that the night would be cold, so she asked the old slave to send a cloak over. β
Xu Yan and Dai Quan scolded in their hearts at the same time: There is a competitor. This is a reminder to go to bed. Zhou Guifei also has people to recommend. It is said to be Zhao Guiren. Zhao Guiren has a relationship with the Hou family of Ruyang.
Emperor Yongzhi's heart warmed slightly, and he smiled mildly: "I know." He glanced at Ning Ru.
Ning Ru hurriedly got up and retreated, left the side hall, and walked out of the Daming Palace. By this time it was late at night. Autumn flows through the gorgeous royal gardens. Towers and palaces, ethereal water waves.
Ning Ru sighed softly. Jia Huan's plan is afraid that it will fail. I don't know how much silver he exchanged for today's eunuch Dai a word!
β¦.
Emperor Yongzhi took the eunuchs around him to the garden behind him, and walked in the corridor, and the cool night breeze hit people.
Emperor Yongzhi turned left in a cloister. Yan Feizhi, who was beside Zhou Guifei, was stunned, not with it, not with it. Because Emperor Yongzhi did not go to the "Changchun Immortal Pavilion" where Zhou Guifei was, but the "Xifeng Xiuse" where Wu Guiren was.
In the night, a sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Yan's mouth. Fool, are you confused when you are a long live master? A concubine Zhou, and a concubine with one heart and one mind? Is this trying to fight for the position of the crown prince for King Yan?
Xu Yan looked at Dai Quan behind him again. This old man has a lot of ability, but now that the situation is stable, it is unlikely that Lord Banzai will promote a concubine with a noble background at this time. lest there be trouble.
Dai Quan was slightly dissatisfied with Xu Yan in his heart. His recommendation failed. The female histories on the side of Fengzao Palace all live in the "Shuimu Mingse".
Emperor Yongzhi entered the "West Peak Beauty" where Wu Guiren is located, and it is rebuilt in imitation of Lushan. There are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is picturesque. Xuantang in landscape painting.
Emperor Yongzhi entered the middle hall, the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, and Wu Guiren, who was reading in the night, hurriedly got up to greet him, saluted, and said in a delicate tone: "I've seen Long Live Lord." β
Wu Guiren is about two years old, wearing a light purple gauze fairy skirt, with peonies engraved on the placket. There is an elegant bookish atmosphere in front of you. The face is like jade, and the facial features are delicate like carving. The eyes are clear and bright.
A beautiful woman with outstanding beauty!
Emperor Yongzhi smiled and hugged Wu Guiren to speak, asking what books to read, whether it was comfortable to live in Daming Palace, and so on.
Xu Yan and Dai Quan were waiting under the hall. I sighed in my heart. Wu Guiren is deeply favored, and there is a reason why. This kind of bookish atmosphere is very attractive to the saints.
Emperor Yongzhi and Wu Guiren were talking. I don't know what topic I talked about, but suddenly I was interested in writing.
Wu Guiren called a palace maid to come forward and grind the ink by the bookcase. Emperor Yongzhi was slightly strange, and it was usually Wu Guiren who came to polish the ink. Then he looked at the palace maid who came forward: about eighteen to nineteen years old, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, radiant. Plain hand ink mixing, skillful and free. There is an elegant and quiet temperament. The end is the appearance of flowers and the moon.
Emperor Yongzhi asked curiously, "Who is this woman?" β
Wu Guiren covered his mouth and chuckled, his eyes were wonderful, and he said coquettishly: "The concubine was idle and walked in the palace with nothing to do, and met Jia Nushi. Seeing that she was a good talker, he stayed to speak. I'm asking Banzai to transfer her to me. There was a guy talking about poetry and songs. β
This is very right, Wu Guiren was born in a family of Wenchen and has a high literary literacy.
Emperor Yongzhi did not pay attention to the talent of the beautiful female history in front of him, but paid attention to her surname and asked, "What is your name?" β
The female history saluted and replied softly: "Jia Yuanchun! β
β¦
The night was getting darker. The light in the middle hall of "West Peak Beauty" dimmed, leaving only moonlight. The emperor stayed overnight at Wu Guiren's place.
Xu Yan, who was guarding the hall, glared at Dai Quan hatefully, "Old Dai, you are ruthless!" "Although the female history named Jia Yuanchun did not sleep, she had obviously entered the eyes of the emperor. And she must be Jia Yuan's descendant and Jia Huan's sister.
It's the way of Lao Dai.
Dai Quan laughed. enjoyed the feeling of pride, as well as the jealousy and unhappiness of Manager Xu. Release all the grievances in front of you. There are two words of "acceptance". Of course, a lot of things are tacit.
While enjoying the pleasure, he was also scolding Jia Huan in his heart: Huangkou Xiaoer! What do you do?
Rules for gift-giving: don't bother the two masters. That kid even has a back hand. How could Wu Guiren suddenly meet Jia Yuanchun?
However, Dai Quan wronged Jia Huan.
It is Wang Ziteng who runs this matter. After Jia Huan got the news from Mr. Longjiang, he told Wang Ziteng the news the next night.
Dai Quan scolded in his heart, but he also knew that things were irreversible.
For 20 years, he has debated right and wrong, and the pomegranate blossoms are shining in the palace. Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and the tigers meet each other and return to the big dream.
Three springs compete for the early spring scene!
With Jia Yingchun's cheeks condensed Xinli, gentle and amiable, with Jia Tanchun's literary essence, he forgets the vulgar, and Jia Xichun's delicate appearance and cold temperament are not as good as Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Yuanchun's appearance, temperament, conversation, and talent are all first-class. Compared with the bookish Wu Guiren, in addition to being the same as the beauty, there are also women from the century-old clan who are infiltrated with grace and luxury, elegance and dignified.
Such a wonderful woman can attract the eyes of the man who falls on her! (To be continued.) )
