Empress work daily

Chapter 68 Gifts
(The title of this chapter is "Grace")
On New Year's Eve, the heavens were pleasantly sprinkled with heavy snow, which added a bit of poetic flavor to the warm indoor atmosphere.

Ji Qiang never thought that Wang Shengjun's poems and Danqing were also hidden, especially his own "Poetry and Painting", which not only described the poems of many famous poets and poets in the previous dynasty with ink and Danqing, but also Many of them are his own creations.

Ji Qiang originally just flipped through it casually, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down. Later, he proposed to bring the masterpiece back to the Yangyuan Hall, so that he could observe it carefully in his spare time.

Wang Shengjun was overwhelmed by flattery, and confirmed again and again that Ji Qiang was not joking, and then he was humble and modest, and he boxed and sealed "Poetry and Painting", and handed it to Shang Liujia very solemnly.

The hot pot feast begins.

In order to celebrate the coming Chinese New Year, Wang Shengjun and others carefully prepared many interesting things, such as "passing flowers by beating drums", and "shooting and covering" and "tooth card orders".Ji Qiang boasted that he still had a few drops of ink in his stomach. He never thought that when he played the two games of "Shefu" and "Yapai Ling", he lost several games due to overtime, and was punished for drinking three glasses in a row.

Wang Shengjun and others were overjoyed to see her being punished for drinking.

In just two or three months of getting along, Ji Qiang has become acquainted with her sub-fathers a lot, and getting along with each other is a little less restrained and more intimate.

Even Ji Qiang himself finds this kind of emotional recognition and acceptance strange.

However, everything they have done for her is in sight.

Their unreserved support for the reform of the inner palace, and even, to some extent, their thrift and self-reliance inspired her.

Later, she needed money to build the canal, and they didn't hesitate to spend all their wealth and help.

The last time they gave porridge to the victims, they contributed a lot.

In addition, there are daily bits and pieces, delicious meals, soft and comfortable cotton clothes, earth dragons in Yangyuan Hall and Fengsheng Hall... too many.

Even the Peach Blossom Drunk she drank at this time was a recipe made by her father, and she knew it when she tasted it for the first time.

And they deliberately made things difficult in games such as "Shooting" and "Tooth Card Order", just to give her a reason to drink a few more glasses of wine brewed by her father.

Drunk with a few cups of peach blossoms, Ji Qiang's face was unknowingly stained with a bit of peach blossom blush, a thin layer of pink, and her eyes were a little blurred, adding a bit of cuteness and cuteness to her graceful appearance.

Wang Shengjun looked at Ji Qiang like this, and instantly remembered how she was wearing a pink dress with two ball heads tied up, poking ants under the peach tree when she was four years old.

The cute and charming little girl back then has now become a tingling girl.Standing on the throne of the emperor, he is cautious everywhere, paying attention to every step, full of vigilance and planning, and is praised by many people for his grandeur and calmness.

However, she will not reach her age until the New Year is over. This is what a girl in her prime should look like, right?
"What's Yafu doing watching me all this time?" Ji Qiang's eyes faded away, subconsciously becoming a little more sober.

At this time, the night was late, and the hot pot banquet was coming to an end.

Ji Qiang suddenly caught Wang Shengjun's deep gaze, and he was flustered for a while, but he quickly returned to normal, cupped his hands and said, "I want to ask Your Majesty for a favor."

"Father Ya, please speak."

"Zhou Sheren's name is Xiandi Sheren, but it's just a name..." Wang Shengjun said the last few words with some difficulty, and then continued after a pause: "Besides, he has not yet reached the crown, his parents are old and frail, and his only sister Married far away, his only elder brother fell ill last year and is no longer alive...now his parents really have no one to take care of them, so Zhou Sheren asked the minister, can he be allowed to leave the palace and return home to take care of his parents?"

Zhou Sheren, Ji Qiang thought about the name carefully, and his impression was a bit vague. However, in the late emperor's harem, there were about ten people like Zhou Sheren who served the late emperor like Zhou Sheren, but they didn't even get a noble servant. several.

However, it is surprising that Zhou Sheren has no real name.

Shang Liujia leaned over and whispered in Ji Qiang's ear, "Your Majesty, Zhou Sheren was found by Princess Wei on behalf of the late emperor a year ago. She said that the late emperor would be a vase to enjoy."

Ji Qiang remembered that among the late emperor's servants, there was one who looked the youngest but the tallest, and when he stood quietly, he really looked like a beautiful vase.

Shang Liujia hadn't finished speaking, "It's true that Zhou Sheren wants to go home to serve his parents, and it's even more true to have an appointment with a beautiful woman."

Then, Shang Liujia's voice became even lower.He said that this time Zhou Sheren followed Wang Shengjun and others out of the palace to give porridge, and he was destined to die with the daughter of a small peddler at a glance. It was discovered early, and later it was appointed to be dead.

There is such a thing!
Ji Qiang was very surprised.

Thinking about the time when Zhou Sheren entered the palace, the late emperor was so ill a year ago that he couldn't stay here at all, so he could only admire Zhou Sheren as a vase.

Seventeen or eighteen years old is the best age for a person, and he really shouldn't spend the rest of his life alone and boring in this deep palace compound.

"Like Zhou Sheren, how many more?" Ji Qiang asked.

"There are seven others, all dedicated to the late Emperor successively after Zhou Sheren, Princess Wei and Princess Hengyang." Wang Shengjun replied.

"Then everyone will be rewarded with a sum of money, and let them go out of the palace."

Everyone really didn't expect Ji Qiang to make such a decision. Shocked, they all knelt down to express their gratitude.

Ji Qiang thought to himself, since this opening has been made, it would be better to release all those who want to go out but can't, so as to fulfill their wishes and, secondly, reduce some of the palace's expenses.

Therefore, Ji Qiang made it clear that anyone who wants to live outside the palace, no matter whether they have served the late emperor or not, can do so.

Wang Shengjun, Huang Shengshi and others seemed very surprised. In their opinion, it is impossible for anyone who served the late emperor and lived in this deep palace for more than ten years to choose to leave.

Because, it is impossible for any man who has owned the late emperor to fall in love with other women.

At least, they thought so.

In addition, anyone who has lived in the palace for more than ten years has long been used to everything here, and leaving the palace means that everything will start from scratch.And for those who have lived in the palace for more than ten years, the outside world no longer belongs to them.

They are willing to stay here, in the place where they laughed and mourned with the late emperor.

Sure enough, no one proposed to leave the palace.

In this way, apart from the famous two sages and two sages in the late emperor's harem, the remaining six were all nameless family members. The older of them had already passed their thirties, and the youngest was 27 or [-] years old.

Among them, some are not outstanding, have no talent, and are not favored by the late emperor, and some have offended Princess Wei and Princess Hengyang because of their too straightforward temper, and they will never be seen by the late emperor... various reasons lead to their current identities Rather embarrassing.

Ji Qiang had a unified impression of them, honest and responsible, not fond of words, no matter what they did, they were unknown.I remember the last time Huang Shengshi repaired the earth dragon in Fengsheng Hall and Yangyuan Hall, and these people were the main contributors.

Ji Qiang saw that they had served the late emperor and were still loyal to the royal family so far, so they all raised their positions as holy servants.
