Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 18
I was stunned, and turned my head to look, and saw a boy in his teens walking towards me. I couldn't see his face clearly due to the slanting winter sun, but looking at his figure and Xue Po's words just now, I felt Some bad premonition.Sure enough, the man stopped five steps away from me, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My minister, Zhen Zhiping, pays homage to Empress Xuepo, Empress Huaishu. Empress Changle Jin'an."

I glared at Xue Po in dissatisfaction, she probably found this person, isn't she looking for my displeasure?Xue Po's face was full of grievances, but it was difficult to confess in front of so many people, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Cousin, excuse me, but why are you here, where is Third Brother?"

Zhen Zhiping was familiar with Xue Po, so he was not very polite, and said: "I know that Diji didn't give me a message, but His Royal Highness King Qinghe was kept by the Emperor and Empress Dowager in Yining Palace. My sister was not happy, so I asked the minister to bring the gift first, but it seems that Di Ji is still not very happy."

I got angry and said: "You" but thinking about my identity, I held back after all, turned my face away and stopped talking.Seeing this situation, Xue Po had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "Cousin is used to making jokes, I just wonder what treasures Third Brother collected for Sixth Sister's birthday." Zhi Ping took out a delicate sandalwood from his wide sleeve robe The incense box, said lightly: "This year, there are only two boxes of tribute from Nanzhao, and the third cousin specially asked for it from the Queen Mother's aunt."

Xue Po took a look, his eyes lit up, he pulled me and said: "Sixth Sister, look quickly, it's Mihexiang." I was overjoyed when I heard it, and hurriedly said: "Really? Show me quickly."

Although there is an incense making bureau in the palace to provide all kinds of safe spices to concubines and concubines, they are all things that ordinary officials can use. The real good ones are special products brought into the palace from all over the place.Everyone knows the reason. An, the noble concubine of the first emperor, was very good at curing incense, but her intentions were vicious, and she used the special incense to harm the fetus of the current Empress Dowager, so that the Empress Dowager lost her first child.

Later, the An family fell into decline, and the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng hated palace ladies making spices without authorization.In the Zhengzhang Dynasty, no one dared to touch the Queen Mother Nilin, so we can only look forward to the strange fragrance of the offering, not to mention that the honey fragrance is faint and tasteless, but it sticks to the skirt for a long time. Brother Sanhuang took such a rare thing as a birthday gift, it was a real surprise.

We were laughing and playing, but we heard someone humming, the sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly from this distance.I turned my face to the side, just in time to see his mocking expression.I had already suppressed my unhappiness when I received the gift, but when I saw him like this, I was even more dissatisfied, and said angrily: "You have finished delivering the gift, why are you still standing there?"

Zhiping became even more disdainful, saying: "This kind of extravagant and dissolute style, I just mourn for the soldiers in Liangzhou and Bingzhou who fought bloody battles."

I absolutely never expected him to say this, and I couldn't think of words to refute for a while, so I murmured: "Liangzhou, Bingzhou..."

"Exactly..." Zhiping's tone was a little more indignant, and he continued: "Over the years, Dazhou has been in a state of peace with Hehe because of His Royal Highness Yong'an's surrender and marriage. I have always coveted Hua Tianbao, a treasure of the Central Plains. Especially in the early years, because the Queen Mother was suspicious of the Lord, she always regarded peace as the most important thing and refused to let the King of Pingyang mobilize troops. She taught those barbarians to grow wolfish ambitions and continued to harass and plunder our borders. The people were miserable. It's unbelievable. The border guards also have corpses shrouded in horse leather. Diji spent a lot of money on this small box of incense, but how many spear noodle knives can be made? No matter how good this incense is, I don't know if it will last for a hundred days? Emperor Will Jiyou think of those people in Yanbian who don't have enough food and clothing?"

Hearing his harsh words, Xue Po finally frowned and said: "Cousin, you are too." I pressed her hand to signal a pause, stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "My son's remarks really opened my eyes. , but I'm a woman with little experience in the boudoir, I can't compare to you, the son of a general, who can see thousands of miles away in a wealthy palace. I have rich clothes and food, but my heart is full of cold and hungry people. It doesn't hurt. Feeling a few words can be done by a three-year-old child at any time, such as Huo Qubing kept saying, "The Huns are not destroyed, how can we call it home", but he himself died and soldiers built a stadium for fun. Uh, no, I was wrong, although Huo Qubing has personal virtues I am ashamed, that is also the achievement of sweeping Mobei, Qilian Leshi, and the son who has never entered the army camp of the son, it is also incomparable."

I said everything in one breath, Xue Po and Zhen Zhiping were stunned for a moment, I usually speak cautiously, if he hadn't said that I am here today, I wouldn't feel unhappy these days Let it all out.

Seeing that my face was torn apart, I also talked freely, and then said: "Although Huai Shu is a girl, she has learned the books of sages and sages since she was a child. A peaceful side is a man of great wisdom and courage. From a distance, there are parachutists who do not teach Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountains. In this dynasty, there are also generals Fuyuan who do not kill civilians in Nanping Baiyi and Jizhou who are stationed in the frontier fortresses all their lives as concubines. Governor Chen Shun. Since the young master keeps saying that he has the heart of serving the country, why doesn't he guard the front line like the son of Pingyang, and follows his mother and grandmother to and fro in the palace to see the extravagance of us women in deep palaces. I don't need this honeycomb Xiang, donating the money here is worthy of the hard work of the border people, do you know how the young master will face the soldiers who are shrouded in horse leather?"

Suddenly there was a burst of high-five clapping in the distance, and someone said loudly, "Okay, brother, this box of small fanxiang has shown everyone a wonderful woman."

Hearing this, Xue Po was overjoyed, but he still took two steps forward and said coquettishly: "The third brother is here, they are arguing, I really can't stop it."

Wang Yuhan of Qinghe smiled when he heard the words, and did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhen Zhiping and me with great interest, perhaps because of the reason for meeting the emperor, he did not wear the usual casual Yuebai shirt today, but a The lake-blue Yanju suit of the Prince of High Mountains and Deep Seas makes him look like a god, and he looks like a halo when he walks from a distance. I would have been fascinated by it on weekdays, but now I don’t care about it. .I just said it happily, now that I think about it, not only do I have the suspicion of mocking the Empress Dowager’s mother’s family, but also want to sell off the birthday gift from my brother. I had no choice but to speak first: "My dear brother, don't be angry with me."

Yu Han smiled and said: "You should be angry when you are angry, but because it is your birthday today. I can't avoid it. I am just curious. You are usually lukewarm like boiled water. Why did you meet Zhiping? It has become a little cat with fried hair, and I have to scratch your paw."

I also rely on Brother Sanhuang's good temper, and he dotes on me so much on weekdays, thinking that anyway, he said to forgive me once, and then said: "My sister is just repaying virtue with kindness, and repaying grievances with straightness. "
