General, please stay

Chapter 256 The Harem
Qigui finally found out that Yan Junxing was really exhausted, so he didn't bother him anymore, and let him go to rest after taking care of him to take a bath.

It was rare that Yan Junxing didn't lie on the bed waiting for her to do some dirty things together, but fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Qi Gui came out of the shower and wanted to talk to him, but he was startled when he saw that he was asleep.She smiled, went to put out the candle, and fell asleep beside him.

Even though it was a mess outside, sleeping next to him was particularly reassuring.

The next day, Qi Gui thought about it, and felt that she should go to the queen mother to ask for a rest.

So he packed up and went into the palace.

The Empress Dowager's Zichen Palace was no longer deserted as before, and suddenly there were a group of young women, chirping and chattering.Concubine Su and the Queen Mother were sitting in the main hall, both of them were a little impatient, but they didn't show it, they just looked indifferent.

Zeng Baolin came in and said with a smile on his face, "Princess Wuchang is here."

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly softened.Concubine Su's face was full of joy, and she said: "Quickly declare."

Zeng Baolin retreated with a smile, and then led the chess back in himself.

Qi Gui didn't expect there to be so many people in Zichen Palace. Looking at these concubines who just sat on the throne, still wearing filial piety clothes, and trying to put on airs, she would recover after a slight start and bow down to salute.

"The concubine sees the Empress Dowager, and the empress is a thousand years old. To the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Shu, please greet me."

If she had already officially married Yan Junxing, Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Jiang Shu would not be able to accept her big gift.It's just that she has a delicate identity now, so she should be more cautious and polite.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "There are so many gifts."

Concubine Su, who had a tense face for a long time, also said: "Sit down quickly. It's because you have a heart, and you know to come to the palace to see us."

The queen mother said: "Sit next to Ai's family."

Qi Gui smiled and sat at the Empress Dowager's feet.

The queen mother said: "If you don't come, the Ai family is going to ask someone to announce you. What the hell is going on with the Guoguo girl's feet? This is a good old man, oh, now he is the princess, how can he Twist her foot like that? The imperial doctor said, it wasn’t twisted all at once! Tell Aijia honestly, did you beat her because you didn’t want her to enter the palace?”

Qi Gui couldn't laugh or cry.

Before she had time to distinguish, Xin Zhaoyi said: "Princess, you are too unreasonable. It is her blessing that the princess can enter the palace to accompany her."

Zhu Zhaorong also said: "Yeah, let alone a child, how can he hit such a heavy hand?"

Concubine Su frowned displeasedly, and scolded: "The queen mother is asking the princess, the princess has not spoken yet, why did you interrupt? Do you not want the princess to talk?"

When she was a noble concubine, she was cold. These young people were naturally afraid of her.

Immediately no one dared to speak.Some people muttered in their hearts, saying, you are a yellow flower of yesterday, let's see how long you can be proud.

Qi Gui glanced around, feeling a little helpless, thinking that it really wasn't what it used to be.She said: "The concubine has never beaten a child, let alone beat the child like this. The concubine will not hide it from you. When Guoguo said that she wanted to enter the palace, the concubine really couldn't bear it. But thinking about the child's filial piety , is also good, just go back and give a few instructions, how can you do it?"

"Then how did Guoguo's foot hurt?"

Qi Gui murmured: "This kid used to like to dance with knives and guns. He learned Qinggong in a mess, and he came to show off, but he was sprained. The concubine was frightened, so she quickly called the doctor to come and see. I wanted to say, since If you are injured, you can enter the palace slowly, and you will understand if you think about it. But this child refuses, and wants to come with him. He said that he promised the empress dowager, and he will be unhappy if he does not go. "

She also sighed and said: "I'm getting older, I can't control it anymore. I don't know if those little ones will be like this in the future."

When the Empress Dowager Yan heard this, her heart was as soft as water.Qigui said "unhappy", but Guoguo was probably afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.Xiao Guo is really very sensible, afraid that she will be sad if she is alone, so she always follows her with a small cane.The Empress Dowager was really sad, but no one told her.Instead, in front of a child, he told many old things about the dead child.

She said: "You are the only one who is not good, a good girl, what kind of martial arts do you ask her to teach her? How easy is it to get hurt?"

Qi Gui smiled and said: "The child likes it, but the concubine didn't think too much about it. From now on, little Niu Niu will definitely not let her learn it."

Empress Dowager Yan thought for a while, and said: "No, I still have to learn something, so as not to be bullied when I get married."

...Qi Gui suddenly felt that he was not human inside and out.

The Empress Dowager talked with Qi Gui for a long time, completely forgetting all the concubines in this room.

Concubine Liu Gui and the others also had a temper, or it should be said that they were young and impatient, and felt that they were not taken seriously, so they simply got up and left in a hurry.

The queen mother waved her hand and ignored them.

Qi Gui watched them go out, thoughtfully, said: "Your Majesty, this..."

Concubine Su Taigui sneered, and said: "You can't hold your breath when you are young. The wealth that fell from the sky is not something that everyone can enjoy. It seems that they have to sharpen their temperament before they know how to serve the king well." .”

If it is said that the queen mother is grand and general, she has been listening to the government for several years, so she must be the husband of a woman.Then Grand Concubine Su lived through four dynasties and was a concubine for three dynasties, or the Grand Concubine is not down now, and she is becoming more and more noble, she must be as careful as dust and know how to advance and retreat.If she shouldn't take care of it, she won't intervene in a single thing.But now, "The Empress Dowager is in charge of the harem", and the Empress Dowager is going to be in charge of the court, so she knows very well what she should provoke.

She has been immersed in the harem for decades, and she has plenty of means to deal with these girls' movies.

After her husband's death, the Empress Dowager Yan had no interest in the disputes in the harem, so she only said: "The harem is about to start rioting again."

Qi Gui frowned and said nothing.

Royal study.

As the new king, Yan Junming is very diligent.The ministers below saw the opportunity, and the memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes, trying to seize an opportunity before the new king and show their ambitions.

The Queen Mother was right. Yan Junming was indeed talented in administration and full of energy. After he came down to court, he continued to approve the memorial all morning without raising his head.

At this time, the eunuch beside him said, "Your Majesty, Xin Zhaoyi is here."

Yan Junming still paid attention to the memorial in his hand, and said, "What is she doing here?"

The eunuch smiled and said: "I should have just invited An over from the empress dowager's side. I heard that the king is still busy, so I asked someone to stew ginseng soup and bring it over."

Having said that, Yan Junming also felt a little hungry, so he put down the memorial and said, "Xuan."

Xin Zhaoyi is still filial all over, but it can be seen that she has put her thought into it.Wearing that filial piety dress on her body, for some reason, she looked extraordinarily graceful and graceful, with a small waist like a willow, which made people daydream after seeing it.She greeted Yan Junming delicately, and personally stepped forward to serve Yan Junming to drink soup.

Yan Junming didn't like to drink ginseng soup, but he was not picky about food, and he didn't stick to the rules of eating without talking. He asked while drinking, "Just came from Mrs. Wang's?"

He originally wanted to say that the Queen Mother is in a bad mood, so you should stop embarrassing others.With these concubines by his side, even if they didn't speak, he would still have a headache.

Xin rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, the concubine and the other sisters went to greet the empress dowager early in the morning, and stayed with the empress dowager until just now. Later, when the chess returned to the princess, the concubine asked the concubine to wait for the first time. Out."

Isn't this a clear preference for Princess Zhao, or do you have something private to say?The empress dowager's attitude made her, a genuine imperial concubine, very unconvinced.No matter how eccentric, the king's position is now determined.That woman is just a married woman, and she hasn't been officially married yet.

Yan Junming didn't understand the meaning of her words, but said: "Sister-in-law Shi has entered the palace? Brother Ten seems to be still in Wenchang Pavilion."

Xin said: "The empress dowager and the empress dowager seem to like the princess very much."

"That's natural." Only when a family is harmonious can everything prosper.

After drinking the ginseng soup, he regained some energy, but Yan Junming felt even hungrier, so he asked the eunuch to pass the decree and asked the imperial dining room to bring some more snacks.

Xin's beating around the bush couldn't please her, and she was not convinced in her heart, so she said: "Your Majesty, I have a few words from my concubine, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Yan Junming casually flipped through the memorial, thinking that he would go to Zichen Palace to join in the fun later, and maybe he could have lunch there.He said casually, "Say it."

Xin said: "The concubine feels that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager seem to be very kind to the princess and the little princess..."

Qi Gui and Guo Guo are both from Marquis Wu's residence.

Yan Junming was startled, put down the memorial, and said, "Oh?"

Xin couldn't see what he meant, hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "The concubine's humble opinion, I just think that this is the blessing of the princess and the little princess, not even the sisters of the noble concubine and the concubine Shu. I feel a little envious."

Yan Junming sneered suddenly, and said, "Do you think you can compare with them?"

Xin was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed with embarrassment, and she muttered, "I dare not..."

But it was because she said a few more words to Guoguo at that time, thinking that Guoguo liked her, so she was warmer to her than other concubines, but she was a restless master.It's only been a few days since I entered the palace, so I'm here to sow discord.

Yan Junming decided to make an example to others.

"Xin Zhaoyi listens to the order. You are telling stories in front of me and not abiding by women's morals. I am ordered to reflect on your own mistakes."

Xin was completely stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she had just entered the palace, and was favored more than others, just when she was complacent, how could she be demoted.

She had just entered the palace, was young, and was extremely impatient. She was so frightened that she even forgot the rules. She knelt on the ground and cried, pulling Yan Junming's trouser legs, and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, my concubine's words are unintentional. , Your Majesty is merciful!"
