Chapter 366
After finally settling Zhu Qizhen and the Qian family, Zhu Qiyu led the ministers to separate.

Even though Zhu Qiyu was young and strong, he was really exhausted.Before dawn, he came out from Qi Wangfu and went all the way to Xizhimen to greet him.Then we cried and knelt, tossing and tossing for a long time before completing the abdication ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, the Oirat mission rioted, and the blood almost flowed into rivers.Finally, when entering the Forbidden City, one must not only participate in this tormenting feast, but also walk back and forth between the Yinghua Hall, Fengtianmen, and Nangong.

I experienced more things in this day than usual in a month.

So Zhu Qiyu changed his plan and chose to take his family and rest in the old palace for a night.

The others were not much better. Today's other protagonist, Zhu Qizhen, even fell asleep when he returned to the dormitory, leaving only Qian Shi standing there in a daze.

Qian Shi was also very embarrassed. Although the two were husband and wife, Qian Shi was also arranged a separate bedroom in the Nangong Palace.

Even in the past, the two did not live together, but one lived in Qianqing Palace and the other lived in Kunning Palace.

Now Mrs. Qian is blind in one eye and lame in one leg, and Zhu Qizhen is a person who pays special attention to his appearance.Therefore, without Zhu Qizhen's consent, Qian would not dare to share the bed with him without authorization.

Just when Qian was hesitating, sixteen beauties dressed as court ladies walked in and knelt down to salute Qian.

At the beginning, Qian didn't take it seriously, but after the maids got up, Qian discovered the problem: these women are so beautiful, they are all stunning.Moreover, she has a charming demeanor and a variety of styles. At first glance, she is not comparable to ordinary court ladies.

So Qian summoned Xing'an, the head of Nangong, and asked curiously: "Xing'an, who are these women, and who arranged them?"

Seeing Qian's question, Xing'an faltered a little, not knowing how to answer.

On this issue, Xing'an is also very innocent. Although he is the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and concurrently the head of Nangong, but now among the eunuchs in the inner court, he is definitely ranked outside the top ten.

This is an optimistic statement, because the emperor's distrust of Xing'an was almost public, and the eunuch who was blatantly rejected by the emperor was basically nothing in the hearts of others.

So Xing'an is far from its former glory.

Take these sixteen beauties as an example, although the Supervisor of Rituals had already made arrangements, but Xing'an only just found out that there was such a show.Well, maybe she knew about Yizhuxiang earlier than Queen Qian.

Seeing that Empress Qian had been staring at her closely, Xing'an had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "I want to report to Empress Empress, this is the concubine that Empress Zhou bestowed upon Jin Yiwei Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming before.

When His Majesty was hunting north, at first Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming were escorting him.

Empress Zhou thought of her hard work, so she gave a total of sixteen concubines successively. "

Having said this, Xing'an paused, showing a look of embarrassment.

Empress Qian asked angrily: "They are the concubines of Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming. Why are they sent to His Majesty's bedroom? You tell me the truth, if you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing the words, Xing'an was not only helpless, but had to kneel down and apologize again and again.Although Empress Qian was obsequious in front of Empress Dowager Sun, and she was at a disadvantage in front of Empress Zhou, there is still no big problem in cleaning up a down-and-out Xing'an.

So Xing'an could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty has learned that when these sixteen concubines were given to Ma Liang and the others, it was actually just a pretense and a secret.

At that time, it was inconvenient to send women to His Majesty, otherwise the Ming army would be defeated, and the imperial court would be busy sending women to His Majesty instead, and it would be difficult to spread the word.

So Empress Zhou made a detour. In fact, these women were sent to serve His Majesty in the name of Ma Liang and others' concubines.

Since these women were used by His Majesty, Ma Liang and the others did not dare to touch them.So Queen Zhou took these women back and sent them to Nangong to serve His Majesty.In addition, sixteen more beautiful women were given to be concubines for Ma Liang, Yuan Bin, and Ha Ming.

In this way, as long as it is done in secret and no one announces it, the government and the public will not notice this kind of thing. At the same time, as for letting His Majesty's woman live outside the palace for a long time, it happens to be the best of both worlds. "

After hearing this, Empress Qian's face became completely gloomy.My own brother-in-law, the current Emperor Jingtai, is ridiculous enough, especially when it comes to women, he acts all kinds of deviant.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, my husband is more ridiculous than my brother-in-law.

Although it is said that it is to build plank roads openly and store warehouses in secret, it is an expedient measure due to the situation.But these women are indeed the concubines of the courtiers in name. Once it is spread, the reputation will be bad.

Empress Qian thought about it for a second, fortunately her husband didn't know about calling these women into Nangong.

It is not too late to make up for the so-called dead sheep.Sending these women away early tomorrow morning will also completely eliminate hidden dangers.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qian waved her hand, signaling Xing'an to take the sixteen stunning women to retreat. Afterwards, Mrs. Qian stayed in Zhu Qizhen's bedroom and guarded herself all night.

Xing'an retreated resentfully, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

When Zhu Qizhen was first captured, Xing'an was also ordered to go to the Wala military camp many times.

So Xing'an knew that among the sixteen women, there was a girl named Ling'er who was Yuan Bin's concubine in name.Although she has a beautiful appearance, but she has a strong temper, and has always refused to serve His Majesty.

However, His Majesty loved this little girl very much, and he always stayed by his side to serve tea and water, but he didn't use force from the beginning to the end.It wasn't until Yexian suffered a disastrous defeat in Xuanfu, threw all the palace people in Shanxi, and fled back to the grassland with only His Majesty, the two separated.

Although Xing'an is a eunuch, he also understands men's psychology: only what he can't get is the best.

Therefore, Xing'an was certain that when His Majesty woke up tomorrow morning, he would never allow Empress Qian to send her back.

Silent all night.

Zhu Qizhen slept until noon the next day.

Anyway, he didn't have to deal with the government affairs, so Zhu Qizhen was at ease.

Unfortunately, as soon as she woke up, Empress Qian told about the sixteen concubines sent by Empress Zhou.

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and was about to praise Empress Zhou for her caring, but Empress Qian advised him: "Your Majesty, it is a generally accepted etiquette for the emperor to avoid his minister's wife.

Regardless of the actual situation, at least in name, these women are concubines of Ma Liang and others.It is really inappropriate for His Majesty to include them in Nangong.

Once it is used by someone with a heart, it will greatly damage His Majesty's reputation. "

Zhu Qizhen was not happy when he heard it, and immediately retorted: "Queen, what are you talking about, the law of etiquette says that the emperor avoids his ministers' wives, but it doesn't say that the emperor avoids his ministers and concubines.

No matter which dynasty or generation, concubines can be given away.Ma Liang and others voluntarily gave their concubines to me.

My younger brother didn't object, so why are you so troublesome.

Besides, I have become like this now, and I still care so much about my reputation.

And you have also read books, look at the emperors who were forced to abdicate in the past dynasties, the worse their reputation, the safer they are.

Just like Liu Chan, the more happy he is, the more chic and comfortable his life will be.

My brother is willing to send my woman back, that's enough conscience.He didn't give us a story about Song Taizong and the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so you can be content. "
