Empress work daily

Chapter 1
Sunset dusk.

Daliang Zichen Palace.

Standing on the high steps, Ji Qiang watched the hordes of servants and palace maids coming in and out like hardworking and orderly ants, or holding the dowry and clothes in their arms, or holding the four treasures of the study in their hands, and walked to Ji Qiang. When they were by their side, they all bowed their waists and bowed their heads, respectful and careful.

In the center of the palace courtyard, there was a servant in a red robe, like a top, dizzy in a hurry, sometimes giving instructions, and sometimes scolding a clumsy palace man.The monarch's bedroom, which has always been respectful and quiet, is bustling at this moment, because the monarch issued an order to move.

His Majesty, who just ascended the throne yesterday, will move his bedroom to Yangyuan Hall today, a place less than one-tenth the size of Zichen Palace.

At the beginning, when the ancestor opened the dynasty, he set up the Yangyuan Hall and the Fengsheng Hall, which were distributed around the Zichen Palace, into two imperial studies, one for literature and one for military, for daily reading and writing, reviewing and handling political affairs, and studying martial arts and military tactics with military officials. and other purposes.But in fact, the ancestor still prefers to deal with political affairs at the Yingying Terrace, and the Yangyuan Hall and the Fengsheng Hall have not been used a few times since their establishment.

As far as Emperor Taizong was concerned, he spent half of his time in Zichen Palace. He was either pregnant or on the way to conceive and give birth. Later, he finally gave birth, and his health was not good, so he had to continue to recuperate in Zichen Palace until his death. The two study rooms were not used much.

As for the first emperor, let alone the Imperial Study Room, she rarely even lived in the Zichen Palace.The reason is that the late emperor's harem was so huge that he had no time to live in his own bedroom, let alone Laoshizi's imperial study.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would move to live in a place where her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother didn't seldom set foot as soon as she took over the throne. This is really an anecdote in the world.But it's strange to be strange, as a palace man who is well versed in the palace rules, he knows the benefits of talking less and doing more, especially when the situation is dark and unclear.

Not long after, Shang Liujia, who was wearing a red robe, hurried up the steps and reported back, "Your Majesty's supplies, Mo Baochen, etc. have all been prepared, and you can leave at any time."

Ji Qiang nodded, "You and Ling Lu lead people there first, and I will follow."

Shang Liujia agreed, and immediately led the mighty "moving team" with his apprentice Linglu to Yangyuan Hall.Seeing that the "tail" of the team was about to disappear, Ji Qiang got on the imperial drive, accompanied by two female officials in green clothes and yellow clothes, and got up.

"Your Majesty is like this. I'm afraid the court and harem have already known about it. It's better for you to make plans early." Lv Yi seemed to muster up her courage before opening her mouth.

As one of the "Four Body Protectors" left to Ji Qiang by her late husband, Lv Yi was not good at speaking, and Ji Qiang had a sudden change since the end of the enthronement ceremony.

Although she has been calm and dignified since she was a child, after all, in her cardamom years, her mind should never be in such a severe winter state.Therefore, since yesterday, Lvyi has been extremely careful, not only carefully taking care of Ji Qiang's daily life, but also secretly observing her every word and deed.Carefully ponder and conjecture.

An hour ago, when Ji Qiang ordered to move out of Zichen Palace, Luyi was more worried than surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Hengyang personally manages the up and down equipment and furnishings of this Zichen Palace. If you can't say no, you can't. What's more, His Majesty has already succeeded, and should have lived in Zichen Palace." Huang Chang said at this moment She has the same thoughts as Lu Yi, but she is not as delicate as Lu Yi, and these twists and turns are only figured out after listening to Lu Yi's words.

Also as one of the "Four Body Protectors", Huang Shang is highly skilled in martial arts, and his daily duty is to be responsible for Ji Qiang's safety.

"So what if you know what you don't know?"

Ji Qiang's nonchalant attitude really surprised Lvyi.

Princess Hengyang is the daughter and only child of Princess Wei.Who is Princess Wei?She was the first emperor's direct younger sister, not to mention that the first emperor always valued her, but now she is burdened with the burden of supporting Gu and holds a heavy soldier in her hand.In the mood of the first emperor's love of the house and Wu, Princess Hengyang easily won the post of "Royal Treasurer Order", that is to say, the private property of the entire Daliangji royal family, including the entire internal affairs of the palace, was taken care of by Princess Hengyang.

There are two mother and daughter, one supports soldiers and the other holds wealth, but His Majesty says so what...

Lvyi was about to persuade her again, when she suddenly saw Linglu rushing over and told Ji Qiang that Princess Hengyang came to pay her respects.Huang Chang looked up and found that the team in front had stopped.

In just a moment, Princess Hengyang, who was dressed in a bright oriole robe, kowtowed to Ji Qiang.

According to the regulations of Daliang, the emperor's robes are embroidered with green dragons, the prince's robes are embroidered with white tigers, the imperial teachers' robes are embroidered with Xuanwu, and the princess's robes are embroidered with red birds.The civil and military officials are divided into unicorns and beasts according to their grades.At the level of Princess Hengyang, her robes are at most embroidered with peacocks and roc birds, but now, she is wearing a sparrow robe grandiosely, on the same level as the princess.

So what if it doesn't comply with the regulations?When the late emperor was here, the Princess of Hengyang dressed like this, and the late emperor didn't interfere, so who can say anything?
What's more, at this unusual moment, who would pay attention to what Princess Hengyang is wearing?
Except Ji Qiang.

As a human being in two lifetimes, she is naturally familiar with Ji Yu's transgressive dressing. The difference is that she didn't care about it before, but now she only finds it extremely glaring.

The royal family of Daliang Ji clan has always been thinly populated, the founding ancestor of the country spent half his life as a soldier, and she had no time to have children in the first half of her life. Fortunately, when she was very old, she gave birth to a daughter, who was Taizong.Taizong was able to give birth, and had three daughters in total, namely the first emperor, Princess Wei and Princess Yan.

The first emperor had only one daughter, Ji Qiang.

Princess Wei also had only one daughter, Ji Yu.

Princess Yan gave birth to a son, but it is a pity that Chu Luming, who was born as a hero of Chumen in her early years, gave birth to a son whose surname is Chu.

Ji Qiang still remembers that when the first emperor was alive, he mentioned this matter and talked about it, saying that the fat water flowed into the fields of outsiders, and that the Ji family was a cursed family, but those who did not leave the royal family could only be women, not men.

Leaving aside whether the curse is true or false, the fact that the royal family's blood is thin has created a gratifying result, and the members of the clan have a close relationship.Even Taizong, who was alone, grew up joking with a few cousins ​​since he was a child.

The matter of blood, probably the rarer it is, the more precious it is, not to mention that the late Emperor and Princess Wei have the same father and mother. They grew up side by side since they were young. They did stupid things together, endured boards together, and sneaked out of the palace wall together. ... This kind of feeling is extremely precious even in ordinary people's homes.

Princess Wei disregarded the patriarchal clan and noble status of the royal family and had an affair with the guards. Taizong found out when she was pregnant with Liujia. Taizong was so angry that he executed the guards on the spot and put Princess Wei under house arrest.The first emperor risked his life to plead for mercy, and even forced Taizong to make concessions by means of hunger strike, and then rescued Princess Wei.

Taizong passed away, the late emperor succeeded to the throne, and Princess Wei became the right-hand man of the late emperor.In the 20th year of the first emperor, he gradually became sick, and for the next four years, Princess Wei personally took care of her. I injured my left arm, so far I can't exert strength.When the first emperor learned that, he cried rivers of tears while holding Princess Wei, wishing to turn back time.

The sisters have the same roots, and they have a life-and-death friendship, and the depth of the relationship naturally reaches the point of loving the house.Ji Yu was the second person whom the late emperor cared about. Before she was born, her father was executed, and her mother swore that she would never surrender or recruit any relatives for the rest of her life. What a pity... Ji Qiang can still clearly think of the heartache when the late emperor said these words look like.

Because of the consideration of the late emperor's wishes, and because he felt sorry for Ji Yu's background, over the past few years, although Ji Qiang and her were not close, they lived in harmony.Even though she knew that Ji Yu was reckless and liked to exercise power, she never really hated her.

But who would have thought that there was a heart dripping with poison hidden under this flowery face!
……

"The minister begged His Majesty to withdraw his order at the risk of death, and still moved back to Zichen Palace."

Ji Yu walked up to Ji Qiangluan with strides, swung the front of his sparrow robe, knelt down and begged for orders, a little bit of arrogance was flying wantonly from his whole body.

"What if I insist on not returning?"

Ji Qiang stared at him for a long time before asking softly.

"If your Majesty wants to go his own way, I would like to apologize with death! My life is small, and death is not a pity, but how will Your Majesty face civil and military officials and the people of the world in the future?"

"Really?" Ji Qiang sneered, scrutinizing her cousin as if she had just met her cousin for the first time.

In terms of domineering, she is indeed not inferior to her mother, but in terms of scheming, Ji Yu is not a star and a half short. Now that she is a "fish on the board" escaping, she is so impatient to "detain" her back. Give her, the newly succeeded monarch, the charge of "not being tolerated by the family and the country".

As a king, she just wants to choose a place to sleep, is she really the most sinful?

"Your Majesty, calm down." The speaker was Meng Fu, Ji Yu's eldest female official. "The princess means that when your Majesty is newly appointed to the throne, what he says and does must conform to the rules, so that he can set an example for the people. This is the first. The second is Zichen Palace. It has always been the king's bedroom, and it is the place where the dragon spirit is the most abundant in the great beam, and the place where Fengshui gathers spirits, if your majesty moves to the Yangyuan Hall, which is not suitable for living, it may damage the dragon's body."

As expected, Meng Fu was carefully trained by Princess Wei. With her by her side all these years, Ji Yu's impression would not be too ugly.

"I ask you, did these words come from the mouth of Princess Hengyang, or the mouth of the treasurer's order?"

Meng Fu was speechless for a while, neither the princess nor the treasurer's status was enough to "remonstrate" His Majesty with such a "condescending".She knew something was wrong just now when the princess said it, but she couldn't get it back, so she could only try to make up for it in a better place, but unexpectedly, His Majesty really didn't want to let it go, which shows that she is determined to move out of Zichen Palace.

But Meng Fu was very witty, and quickly avoided the serious and ignored the minor, "My minister risked his life to ask His Majesty why he moved away from Zichen Palace. If the princess knows, he can accept his guilt and admit his punishment, and reform his mistakes."

"You finally got to the point." Ji Qiang slowly turned his gaze to Ji Yu who was about to react, looked into her eyes, and answered word by word, "Because, that one, the dragon bed."

Hearing this, Ji Yu turned pale in shock, and didn't care to hide it, "Dragon, what's wrong with the dragon bed?"

Ji Qiang stared at Ji Yu without saying a word, and he could see his every move. After a few breaths, Ji Yu lowered his eyes unnaturally, not daring to look at Ji Qiang.

Meng Fu's heart was shaken, the princess's reaction must be weird.

"The bed is too hard, it's uncomfortable." Ji Qiang said lightly, and stared at Ji Yu again, the pointed eyes made Ji Yu suffocate for a moment.

But when he raised his head again, Ji Qiang had ordered someone to get up, and before leaving, he threw another sentence, "Is there a vermilion bird embroidered on Princess Hengyang's official robe? Or is it my eyesight..."
