Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 656

Guan Xuqing touched a card casually, and seeing that it was Nan Feng, he already had one in his hand, so he put it together, played a card and said: "Two tubes, I'm afraid Jin'er will eat it."

Concubine Jin smiled and said: "This card is not used by concubines." Then she played a card of Nanfeng.

"Touch!" Guan Xuqing put the three sheets of Nanfeng together, his little finger tickled Concubine Jin's hand, Concubine Jin blushed, glanced at the queen opposite, and quickly withdrew her hand.At this time, Guan Xuqing was sitting next to her, and the scent of her body kept coming, and hearing her voice of warblers and swallows, and her clever smile made her feel hot and itchy all over her body, and her mind was not on the cards.It's hard to make any moves because of the four people staring at the table.Seeing Wang Shang coming with a small bag of golden melon seeds, Guan Xuqing said, "Let's put it here and share it with everyone later. You can go." Then he casually took out a card of [-] yuan.Jing Fen pushed down the cards and said with a smile, "I'll only hang this one!"

"Okay, I admit defeat!" Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the queen won the game first." It didn't count, so he pinched two gold leaves and threw them to Jingfen. You'll lose everything in a while."

"I can't help it. I often hear people say that there is a particularity in playing cards. One man is against three beauties. If you lose everything, I will go to the study and copy the "Diamond Sutra." Shuffling the cards while talking, fingers intentionally Inadvertently touched Concubine Jin's hand.

Jingfen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to wash it, it will be fine with our sisters."

Concubine Zhen said sarcastically: "Shuffling the cards is the most important thing, but my sister is careful with her little hands, don't let anyone touch the skin."

Concubine Jin's face flushed, she opened her hands to caress Concubine Zhen's itch, and said, "See if I don't tear Hu Meizi's rotten mouth first."

The two sisters laughed and laughed for a while, Jingfen stopped laughing, and said while counting the cards: "Just now I discussed with the emperor, this year is a good time for the draft, let's help the staff to make this draft a good one These are not in vain of the emperor's usual care for us."

When Guan Xuqing took a look, he saw that Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin were no longer talking and joking, and were listless. Concubine Zhen said: "The draft is a regulation in the palace, and it is also a happy event for the emperor. We can advise on anything, as long as the emperor is willing." .”

There was sourness in her words, Jingfen smiled and said: "Last time Wen Tingshi came to say hello and gave me a speech, which made my stomach hurt from laughing."

"What speech?" Guan Xuqing asked cooperatively.

"The theory of jealousy." Jingfen glanced at Zhenfei and sisters, and said with a smile: "I still remember every word and every sentence. He said: being jealous is an art, and there is a lot of knowledge in it. The sky will thunder, and people will be jealous. , This is the law of nature. Just the right amount of jealousy, just like the vinegared potato shreds in Sichuan cuisine, is delicious and somewhat memorable. There has never been a little bit of jealousy between men and women. They each went to the other side, and Gai didn't care about each other, what kind of love did they talk about? A trace of jealousy, pink face with spring, slight anger and feigned anger, wouldn't it make people feel tender and full of love? Really not Vinegar is edible, but it needs to be groundless to create a sea of ​​vinegar and make you addicted to sour vinegar. However, as a thing, vinegar should be used in moderation. Compared with cooking, the principle is the same. If the amount is small, it will be tasteless. It’s too much to go too far. Too much jealousy can lead to jealousy. The taste of jealousy is very different. It’s sour and sweet, it’s love vinegar; it’s sour and spicy, and it’s choking, it’s the taste of jealousy. Tang Taizong Li Shimin gave it to Fang Xuanling had a few beauties as concubines. Fang Xuanling was famous for being a strict wife, so he dared not accept it, and declined the reward many times. Li Shimin thought that Mrs. Fang Xuanling was a shrew, so Fang dared not accept the reward. So he sent The eunuch held a pot of "poisoned wine" to deliver the decree to Mrs. Fang, if she did not accept these beautiful concubines, she would drink the poisoned wine. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang took the "poisoned wine" and drank it with tears in her eyes. She didn't die, it turned out that the pot was filled with vinegar, and the emperor used it to test her, making a joke. The allusion of jealousy has spread."

Guan Xuqing added: "Men and women without jealousy are mostly boring to think about; if jealousy is too strong, they will hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred self-damages, and they will not be able to live a life like a bird. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being jealous, the key is to see you How to eat. I usually only talk about the pedantic style of the court, but I am really good at learning, and this "On Jealousy" is a model in the article."

Concubine Zhen and her sisters knew that the queen was stabbing them with words, so they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Jing Fen said with a smile: "The emperor is the emperor. In ancient times, there is no reason for emperors to guard one person all their lives. They don't understand how to be the emperor's woman."

Concubine Zhen and her sisters were silent for a long time, then turned to look at their cousin Zhijun, "Our sisters would also like to have more people around the emperor to serve them, but we are just worried that the emperor will indulge in female sex and waste state affairs, and a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

Jingfen picked up the dice, shook it in her hand and said: "Worry is fake, jealousy is real, which one of you sisters and Concubine Duan are not flamboyant characters, when did the emperor do anything because of choking? It's not something you can ask casually, it's serious to do your duty as a concubine."

Jingfen suddenly showed the majesty of a queen, and the concubines Zhen didn't dare to say anything, and they all promised.

Guan Xuqing stretched his neck over and kissed the two of them on the cheeks, and said, "You are all my darlings, even if I really have three thousand fans, how can I ignore you." He turned to look at Zhijun With a glance, he said: "I will leave it to you to handle this matter. The draft is a beautiful thing for the royal family, but when it comes to the bottom, it often changes its taste, and some people's wives are separated, which is contrary to my original intention. The royal family has a system for everything. It is necessary to set a quota. It is better to have less than too many, let alone disturb the people. They prefer everyone to be happy, and those who are unwilling can’t be forced. Uh, to be safe, this year we will choose from the ministries and local ministers’ houses , but there is no need to forcibly divide the Manchu and the Han, look back at the harem and make an inventory, and make a booklet, as long as the maids at the age of 22, 24, 28, and [-] can voluntarily leave the palace and marry, once they enter the palace, they will enter the palace. Like the sea, the rules of not seeing the sky for a lifetime will change, the principles of heaven must be preserved, and human desires cannot be completely eliminated."

"Hey. The slave must do his best. The talent show is a beautiful thing. Who wouldn't want to get close to Longze and serve the master?"

"That's the best. Don't be found out by the voluntary. Those beautiful women are the daughters of noble officials. Whoever is at home is not pampered and ruled by the rules. If they are selected as talented people, that's all. The girl is sent to the palace to be a servant girl, and from now on, the palace will set up a custom, and the maids who are over twenty years old can voluntarily go home to serve the elderly and wait for marriage in the boudoir."

"Cha. The emperor's grace is so great, it is the blessing of the common people."

At this time, the palace lady brought another plate of lychees and a plate of thinners, and everyone ate and played. Guan Xuqing deliberately gave in, and immediately threw away a bag of gold leaves, clapped his hands and said: "What did I just say? One man against three beauties, you will definitely lose everything, if you knew this, it would be better to reward you in the first place, so as to avoid all the troubles."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the maids closed the game, Concubine Zhen and her sisters each took a handful of gold leaves and went back to the palace happily, Zhijun also said goodbye and went home without mentioning it.

Guan Xuqing and Jing Fen went back to the bedroom for dinner, Jing Fen served the emperor some food, and said: "The concubines in the palace are very understanding, sisters Rong Ling are children at heart, Lan Concubine burns incense and worships Buddha all day long, De Concubine is A half-Westerner, I've seen this matter for a long time. Concubine Duan is a considerate master. She will listen to whatever she says, and you can just draft. In the current peaceful era, there is nothing to do, the emperor might as well come here Jiangnan draft picks, by the way, you also get to know the people's sentiments, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Guan Xuqing gave Jingfen a slice of magnolia, and said: "This is lighter, but it's not easy to digest. If you chew it up and swallow it, Jingfen is thoughtful. With you lovely women, it's not enough for me to bear it." Is it?" While talking, he touched Jingfen's hand and rubbed it for a while.

Jingfen laughed and said: "I'm not a jealous person, and I'm not very jealous about it. Besides, the empress wants to be the mother of the world, as long as you are thin enough to afford it. Besides, this man loves women." She suddenly Feeling a slip of the tongue, he covered it up, and unconsciously felt a little fever on his face.Jingfen is the daughter of Guixiang, the former deputy governor of Manchuria. Guixiang also studied poetry and books, and pays great attention to the education of his children.As long as the girl can remember, she never sees her cousins ​​or reads miscellaneous books.Only "The Daughter's Book" and "Zhu Zi's Family Proverbs" are must-reads every day.The rest will be taught by the housekeeper to practice needlework and learn how to draw and embroider.Jingfen married the emperor when she was a teenager. She is gentle, courteous and thrifty, and has all five virtues.There is no one in the family who doesn't like her.

At this time, the queen suddenly became shy, full of tenderness like a bride, Guan Xuqing loves her the most, couldn't help getting angry, and said with a smile: "I'll try to see if you are gentle now." Jingfen kissed her cheek with her shoulder.Seeing this scene, several maids waiting outside the curtain tiptoed away without a trace.After earning a few strokes, Jingfen let herself be manipulated like a sheep.Guan Xuqing put her on the couch with his arms around her, stroked her hair, and said softly: "Jingfen, to be honest, you are still beautiful. After all these years, the more I look at it, the more I love it."

"Really?"

"Well. What are you laughing at?"

"My heart is happy."

"Why are you closing your eyes?"

"I don't want to open it right now." Jingfen snuggled into the embrace of the emperor as soft as a puddle of mud, and said leisurely, "Although I was born in an official family, it is a great blessing to be able to touch Longze. What's more, after staying together with the emperor for so many years, and having a pair of children, a woman is contented at this point, and I don't know how many people in the world envy her."

Guan Xuqing kissed Jingfen lightly on the forehead and said: "I love your contentment and happiness, but I don't know how many people in the palace don't know contentment." He lifted the woman's cheongsam and rubbed it through the obscene clothes He said again: "There is no reason to feel those emotions for no reason. After a day, I will be happy for a day. Didn't the abbot of Biyun Temple say: Bodhi is trouble, only the Buddha can get rid of trouble, and he can be quiet. Can't let go of 'I', give up If you don't let 'I' go, you will have a lot of troubles."

Looking at the dots of stars outside the window, the two gradually became infatuated.
