Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 93

As soon as Lin Xiangyu entered Xianyang Palace, Queen Zhou picked her up in person.After a chatter between the two, one hugged the prince and the other hugged the princess, and they went to the inner room together.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw that it was empty, and more than half of the original furniture and furnishings had been lost.Lin Xiangyu asked with a smile: "Is my sister almost finished moving? How does it feel to live in Kunning Palace?"

Empress Zhou laughed and said, "My sister never dreamed that she would be able to live in the main palace one day. It's all thanks to my sister. If my sister wants to live in Kunning Palace, then it's not my sister's turn."

Lin Xiangyu quickly waved her hand: "Sister, I was joking. My sister is from a lowly background, so I am not qualified to live in Kunning Palace. My sister and mother are more expensive than their children, so living in Kunning Palace is the right thing to do."

Mentioning that a mother is more valuable than a child, Empress Zhou sighed: "Sister, I don't know, but my daughter is actually what I love the most. It's a pity that we, Ming Dynasty, have never paid much attention to the princess and treated us harshly.

Even the princess and the son-in-law are not allowed to be buried together. This is the most excessive. There are countless other messy rules and regulations. "

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "What's the matter, sister, don't worry. Not only does my sister love the princess the most, but your majesty also dotes on our clever little niece.

His Majesty has said long ago that there is no need to stick to established laws for Princess Chongqing, and she can be treated as Princess Han.Your Majesty has already figured it out, Jinan Mansion has beautiful mountains and rivers, the best spiritual spring in the world, and it is close to the capital, it is an excellent fiefdom.

When the princess got married, he would confer a title on the son-in-law, and then divide Jinan Mansion into two, half of which would be entrusted to the concubine as a fief, and half to the princess as Tang Muyi. "

Empress Zhou was dumbfounded after hearing this, and asked after a while, "This is too deviant, how can it be implemented?"

"You don't have to worry about this sister. Your Majesty never speaks falsely, and he never speaks without confidence. Since he dares to speak, he will definitely carry it out.

Besides, my younger sister will give birth to a daughter in the future, and she will be treated in the same way.Even His Majesty the fief had thought about it, so he chose a place close to the sea in Denglai to build a beautiful princess mansion, with mountains, lakes and hot springs, and facing the sea, the scenery is beautiful.My sister can't wait to have a daughter. "

Empress Zhou was overjoyed when she heard the words, so she was relieved, and quickly put the Chongqing princess in her arms on the ground, and said: "Girl, kneel down and kowtow to your aunt, your aunt treats you better than your own mother. From now on, keep in mind that you must be filial to your aunt."

"That's all, that's all, girl, get up quickly."

Empress Zhou was very happy, even happier than winning the Kunning Palace.The two chatted about private matters for half an hour before happily arriving at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace.Everyone paid homage to the Queen Mother and took their seats one by one.

Today can be described as a coincidence, before everyone said a few words, Empress Qian, Concubine Wan Chen, and Concubine Yi came together to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.After the ceremony, everyone sat down again.

The Empress Dowager sat in the main seat, looked around at the crowd, and sighed in her heart: Today is considered to be the most powerful woman in Ming Dynasty, all of them are here.It's just that of the six people in front of me, three sit on the left and three sit on the right, forming two distinct factions.

On the right side, the three women are: Empress Qian, the direct daughter-in-law whom I hate most;

On the left side, the three women are: the second biggest winner among Xuanzong's concubines, the concubine of Xuanyi, Wu Shi; Holding the crown prince, she looks pure and gentle, harmless to humans and animals, but she can represent the new emperor who can make heavy promises at will.

Based on Empress Dowager Sun's many years of palace fighting experience, it can be seen at a glance that the rightists can't beat the leftists with the naked eye.

Fortunately, Concubine Wu and Concubine Qi both hated the imperial palace from the bottom of their hearts, and they would not want to live in the palace even if they were beaten to death. Otherwise, the alliance between Empress Zhou and Princess Qi would be fooled in a short while with the worthless Empress Qian. .

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not speak, Empress Zhou took the initiative to speak: "Report to Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is far away in the north, and there is no caring person to take care of him, so I am very worried, so I prepared four smart maids, a few capable Attendant, I want to entrust the imperial mission to bring it to the Supreme Emperor, and ask the queen mother for permission."

When the queen mother heard the words, she looked at Queen Zhou in surprise, and she couldn't help feeling surprised when she saw Queen Zhou's face was as usual.Although he had long wanted to send some court ladies and servants to the Supreme Emperor, he was always worried about public opinion and dared not act.After all, the Supreme Emperor humiliated the country and was trapped in the enemy's camp, and he hurriedly arranged to send the woman there. How would the people of the world see it?

After thinking for a while, the queen mother did not dare to nod easily, and looked up at everyone, and saw Princess Qi hugging the prince there, just teasing quietly, ignoring everyone.Then he asked, "Princess Qi, tell me, should you agree to Queen Zhou's proposal?"

Both Empress Dowager Sun and Concubine Wu are mother-in-laws, and their relationship with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very strange.Empress Dowager Sun didn't like Empress Qian, the wife of her own son, but she liked Wang Shi, the first concubine of her concubine Zhu Qiyu.Treat Wang Shi like her own daughter, but don't want to talk to Empress Qian.

Concubine Wu is similar to Empress Dowager Sun. She doesn't like Wang Shi, the first concubine of her own son, but she dotes on Princess Qi very much. She only treats Princess Qi as her daughter-in-law and doesn't want to talk to Wang Shi at all.

As soon as she heard that the Empress Dowager Sun had a problem for her precious daughter-in-law, Concubine Wu immediately answered, "The Empress Dowager is joking, my daughter-in-law is still a little girl, what does she know? For such a big matter, the Empress Dowager can just act arbitrarily." .”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face immediately became very ugly: Concubine Wu has endured for so many years and received so much cold treatment from herself, and now she finally stopped pretending.He only admits that Princess Qi is his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't exist wherever he likes to go.

But now Concubine Wu is the noble concubine of Xuanyi, second only to the Empress Dowager, and the Wang family can no longer afford to offend her, so she can only sulk on the sidelines, watching what the Empress Dowager will do.

Empress Dowager Sun laughed and said: "Sister is just joking. Now Princess Qi is in charge of the affairs of the whole family, and handles everything in an orderly manner, which is better than the sum of my daughters-in-law. Just let her say Well, I also want to hear what young people think."

Lin Xiangyu didn't wait for the concubine to evade her words, and replied: "The empress dowager is too famous, and the concubines are young and ignorant, but the concubine and her husband are well trained, so they can barely manage the palace.

As for the matter of sending maids, the frontiers are bitter and cold, and the Yuan people are vulgar. If there are not a few caring people who know the cold and the hot to serve the Supreme Emperor, it will not only lose my dignity in the Ming Dynasty, but also cause billions of people to worry about it.

Out of emotion and reason, all the courtiers and concubines thought that they should have sent palace servants over earlier.It's just according to the etiquette, there must be no younger siblings to give the eldest brother a woman, so the concubines have never dared to propose.Today, my sister proposed to send the maids and attendants to Wala, and the concubine thought it was the words of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so please learn from the queen mother. "

Empress Dowager Sun nodded when she heard the words: "I have always been too pedantic, and I dare not give someone away to the Supreme Emperor, for fear of causing controversy. It is Empress Zhou and Princess Qi who dare to take responsibility. I am very relieved, very comforted.

Jin Ying, go and fetch the pair of Ruyi jaspers from my treasury, give one to Empress Zhou and the other to Princess Qi. "

Hearing this, the two quickly knelt down and thanked each other.Empress Zhou summoned the four maids who had prepared, as well as Ma Liang and other Jinyiwei attendants to show the queen mother.

The queen mother saw that the four court ladies were all charming and charming, and she knew that they were the type Zhu Qizhen liked, so she nodded her approval.

The specific matters were arranged by Queen Zhou.After all, no matter how high-sounding the reasons Princess Qi gave, the empress dowager personally arranging women for the Supreme Emperor would not have a good impact, and would easily lead to impeachment by the officials.Since Queen Zhou is willing to take responsibility, the Queen Mother is also optimistic that it will happen.

After talking about the business, we chatted about homework for a while, and then everyone dispersed.Concubine Tai and Lin Xiangyu returned to the palace with the prince and princess.

When Lin Xiangyu just returned to the room, Zhu Qiyu walked in with a dusty face and a dusty face before she finished her cup of tea.

Seeing this, Lin Xiangyu made a gesture to throw the teacup in her hand over, and shouted coquettishly: "Where did the donkey come from, how dare you trespass into my concubine's boudoir?"

Zhu Qiyu quickly argued: "Princess, don't smash it, don't smash it, it's me, it's me, I'm Zhu Shoumener."

Lin Xiangyu came over and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qi, who is a concubine, where have you been rolling?"

"I didn't roll around. I really went to be Zhu's gatekeeper. Your husband, in order to guard the gate of the capital, went to Yuantu City outside Deshengmen to dig a trench."

When Lin Xiangyu heard the words, she rubbed her husband with a heartbroken face: "It's really a crime. Seeing that the Supreme Emperor has cheated everyone, the majestic emperor has to dig the trenches himself. Walk around, and I will personally serve my husband to take a bath."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "It's a good thing, I can eat at least three more bowls of rice."

Lin Xiangyu hurriedly ordered Mu Yu to prepare dinner, while she did her best to wait for Zhu Qiyu to take a bath and change clothes comfortably.

There was nothing to say all night, and the new imperial mission set off early the next morning.This mission is completely different from the two missions sent before.

The former special envoys Chen Ai and Yang Shan were all loyal to the Supreme Emperor.Huang Pu, who was sent this time, was the new emperor's confidant, and his mission was to drive apart Oala and delay the return of the Supreme Emperor to Beijing.

Moreover, the four palace servants brought by the mission were all confidantes of Empress Zhou, and they were all canonized as nobles, and they went to serve the Supreme Emperor.

There is also a very special person in the mission: Jin Yiwei Ma Liang, who is the emperor's favorite male favorite, and was also very considerately added to the mission by Empress Zhou.

More importantly, in order to reward Ma Liang for his tireless dedication to serving the emperor outside the Great Wall, Queen Zhou bestowed four stunning prostitutes on the Jiaofang Division to be Ma Liang's concubines, and accompanied Ma Liang to Oala.
