Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 17 Concubine
Princess Tongchang said seriously: "Mei Yang, thank you for finding Bozi's child. How can I thank you from the princess!" Cats are fine!" The princess was surprised: "Why?"

Yang Yu said: "The harem is a place of right and wrong. In fact, it's just a small matter. People who think about it will chew their tongues and say that I am flattering the princess. That is not what I want!" Princess Tongchang admired: "Yang Meiren is very proud!" "I will go back to the palace first, I believe the princess will take good care of this family!" After saying that, she left with Biyue.

On the way, Bi Yue couldn't help but said: "Beauty, why don't you let the princess say that you are helping? The emperor knows about it, so he doesn't treat the beauty differently!" Yang Yu smiled slightly, "There are no secrets in this palace. When we return to the palace, the emperor will get the news! Why should we spread the word everywhere!" Bi Yue suddenly realized. "How does the beauty know that the kitten is of the breed of Bozi?" "You didn't see that the female cat is a very common tabby cat, but the kitten is not half like the female cat, and I have seen it when I was at home in the past." Persian merchants sell Persian cats, which are quite similar to the kitten, so it is concluded that it is the breed of Persian cats."

It is said that in order to take care of the kitten, Princess Tongchang was unwilling to leave the utility room, and kept guarding outside the door.The emperor had already received the news, so he quickly dispatched the Habayashi army to guard it, and personally took the princess back to Yumingzhai.Seeing that there were Habayashi soldiers guarding her, the princess reluctantly left.After returning to the palace, he was worried that the mother cat’s milk would not be enough to raise the kittens properly, so he hurriedly called the imperial physician to ask. Although the imperial physician thought it was ridiculous, he had to obey, so he prescribed some medicinal food for women during confinement. Whitebait and yam soup, trotters and soybean soup, pheasant and mushroom soup, etc., made the imperial dining room completely overwhelmed.

Princess Tongchang mobilized so many people for a cat, and everyone in the harem complained, especially the noble concubine Wang, who had the highest status in the harem. She had never been treated like this when she was born to the prince, and the emperor loved the princess so much!
Not to mention that after Yang Yu returned to the palace, he saw that Du Lu and the two girls had been waiting in Hehuan Palace for a long time. When Du Cainv saw Yang Yu, she called out, "Where did my sister go? Tell my sister to wait!" Yang Yu laughed and said, "This The little girl who was the first to sue the villain, she was obviously the two who left without saying goodbye, but it was my fault!" Then Lu Cainv also laughed and said, "Sister, don't blame me, the two of us went to the singing and dancing hall to enjoy the singing and dancing, but I saw them I was rehearsing for 'Taking Drums', and I couldn't help but feel itchy, so I also tried it!"

Yang Yu couldn't help wondering: "So the two younger sisters are proficient in dancing?" "That's not true, Mrs. Han praised us for dancing well!" Du Cainu said bluntly and couldn't help it. "Mrs. Korea?" "Yes, Mrs. Korea also went to see the singing and dancing, and she encouraged us to practice more, saying that the concubine's birthday is approaching, and we can perform then! Sister, do you think it's okay?" Looking forward to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu couldn't help sighing, the two of them are also the emperor's concubines, so of course they hope to be favored by the emperor.She smiled and said: "It's so good, the two younger sisters need to practice more!" Du Cainu immediately cheered, and Lu Cainu also smiled and remained silent.The three sisters chatted for a while, and then went back to the palace.

As soon as the two of them left, Eunuch Zheng came to the Hall of Hehuan, with a pleasant expression on his face: "Miss Yang accepts the order! The beauty Yang Yu is kind and understanding, and she will share my worries with you. I bestow you with a pair of colorful crystal curtains. Thank you!" Yang After Yu accepted the order to thank her, Eunuch Zheng quickly congratulated her: "The emperor is very grateful to the beauty, and he also told the old slave that the beauty has been neglected these days. The emperor will drive the Hehuan Palace tonight, and the beauty is ready!"

Biyue and Qiuchan looked pleasantly surprised, but Yang Yu looked distressed: "Back to Eunuch, Yang Yu can't serve the emperor today, please forgive me!" Eunuch wondered: "Why?" Yang Yu said in Eunuch Zheng's ear After a few words, he said again: "I hope my father-in-law will say a few good words in front of the emperor!" After finishing speaking, she asked Biyue to take out a round pearl, "Small care is not a respect." The father-in-law nodded and left .

Qiu Chan was puzzled: "Beauty, why did you let such a good opportunity go for nothing?" Yang Yu smiled and said: "It's not the time yet, so I shirk that the sunflower water is not exhausted, and it will take some time before I can serve the emperor." Bi Yue Both Qiu Chan and Qiu Chan were puzzled, but Yang Yu just smiled and said nothing.

However, the emperor said that Princess Tongchang was relieved of her sorrow, and the emperor was very pleased, so he held a banquet in Feishuang Hall to enjoy with all the concubines.I saw Yinggeyanyanwu, delicious food and wine, it was really lively.Princess Tongchang also participated.

Then Cui Jieyu was eager to make up with the princess, so she asked cautiously: "Princess, the matter of the wave was really an unintentional mistake in this palace, and I hope Princess Haihan!" The emperor also persuaded: "Yes, Tongchang, do not I am angry with Cui Jieyu again, Father also hopes that the family can live in harmony!"

The princess Tongchang said coldly: "Forget about it, but Cui Jieyu must be merciful, don't hurt the princess's new cat!" The president lives to be a hundred years old, and I specially ordered people to make five longevity locks, please accept it!" Another court lady held out the longevity locks.Princess Tongchang was very pleasantly surprised and couldn't help playing with it, only to see that the longevity lock was small, exquisite and extremely exquisite.

Cui Jieyu saw the princess smiled: "With this longevity lock, people in the harem will know that it is the princess's cat, and they will take care of it carefully. However, I don't know the names of these cats, so I didn't engrave the names on it." I wonder if the princess gave these cats names?"

Princess Tongchang said with a smile: "Those kittens are called Bo Xin, Bo Ai, Bo Bao, and Bo Zhu, and the female cat..." The princess looked at Yang Yu with a smile, "Because it is a substitute for the cat." Bozi’s succession of descendants is quite creditable, so the mother is more expensive according to the son, this princess canonized her as a noble concubine!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone covered their mouths and snickered, and the emperor even laughed loudly: "Well, I have a noble concubine, and Tongchang also has a noble concubine, hahahaha!".

After the emperor spoke, the noble concubine Wang's expression changed drastically, and she clenched the silk handkerchief tightly.She raised her eyes and saw Concubine Guo Shu looking at her with a half-smile and a bit of contempt.Concubine Wang was shocked, she must not be ridiculed by others, so she smiled, stood up and said: "It seems that the emperor and the princess are really connected, and they both understand the truth that mothers are more expensive than children!" Clearly, I saw that Concubine Guo Shu's face changed slightly, and Concubine Wang said again: "This concubine is extremely honored to be able to continue the emperor's heirs. This noble concubine is the emperor's wrong love!"

In fact, the emperor also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but seeing that the noble concubine was not angry, he appreciated it very much, "The position of noble concubine is none other than the concubine who loves the concubine. The concubine is dignified and generous, and she behaves moderately. She is really an example for the harem!"

After finishing speaking, she gently pinched Wang Guifei's hand, and Wang Guifei took advantage of the situation and said: "The emperor hasn't come to Yunguang Palace for a long time. Yan'er is always arguing to ask his father to accompany him to read poems!" The emperor said softly: " I will go to your place after the banquet is over, and I haven’t seen Yan’er for a long time, and I miss her a little bit; however, Yan’er has such a good mother, she must be smart and outstanding, and will be of great use in the future!”

The noble concubine Wang was ecstatic when she heard the emperor's praise, she couldn't help shyly: "Thank you for your compliment!" The emperor smiled and said nothing.But they kept holding Wang Guifei's hand until the banquet was over, and went to Yunguang Hall together.

Concubine Guo Shu has always been the focus of everyone, she has never been so neglected, and she is even more resentful!Because she has no heirs, although she has been favored by thousands of people over the years, she is always shorter than the imperial concubine. She also proposed to the emperor many times that she wanted to be canonized as a noble concubine, but she was always stopped by the imperial concubine because she no longer had a prince. .

Judging by the emperor's tone today, it seems that he intends to train Li Yan to be a prince; and the princess, no matter how much the emperor loves her, she will marry, and by then, she will be old and helpless.Concubine Guo Shu couldn't help sighing, for so many years, she tried her best, but she couldn't get what she wanted.Could it be God's will?

Cui Jieyu originally wanted to curry favor with the princess in order to regain the emperor's favor, but she didn't want to kill a royal concubine halfway, so she had no choice but to leave in frustration.Then Wang Jieyu taunted her even more: "Make a long-lived lock for a cat, thank you for thinking of it! It seems that after all, she was born as a slave and maidservant who understands the master's will, but why doesn't Wang Zhaorong have this ability?" He glanced at Wang Zhaorong.

That Wang Zhaorong turned pale with anger, but he couldn't find anything to refute, so he forcefully forced out a sentence: "Yes, we are all slaves, not like Wang Jieyu, an official lady, but to that rootless man. Thinking about it day and night!" After saying that, he left.Wang Jieyu didn't want Zhaorong to be so bold, to refute herself with such words, and was stunned for a moment.Cui Jieyu was even more disdainful: "I knew it was a disaster, but we are grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens, no one can escape!" After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Then Yang Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by Princess Tongchang, "Miss Yang, how about we go to visit the kitten together?" Yang Yu laughed and said, "The princess has a life, who dares to disobey!" utility room.When Yang Yu arrived in the utility room, she couldn't help but be amazed that earth-shaking changes had taken place here! ,

Tonight, the moonlight was like water, and Yang Yu saw crabapple flowers blooming here. On one side, there were swings, exquisite tables and chairs, and a melon and fruit board on the table.Princess Tongchang said with a smile: "My princess is worried about the kitten. I can't see it for a while. I can only bring everything that can be brought from Yumingzhai. It's a pity that I'm afraid of scaring the mother cat. Otherwise, I'll repair the house too." One time!"

Yang Yu was really angry and funny, "Princess, are you too nervous! Isn't it guarded by the Habayashi army? Why didn't you see it!" Come out!"
