Harem strategy

Chapter 73 Autumn Hunting
The emperor was going to take people to the royal paddock for autumn hunting. As soon as the news came out, the people in the harem were boiling again.

Everyone is in the palace all year round and rarely has the opportunity to go out.

It's not that there are very few, it's that they have never been out at all, except that the Queen Mother took a few old people from the palace to the summer palace last year, and they have been in the palace all the time.

Everyone yearns for being able to go out and see the outside world.Moreover, being able to follow the emperor to go hunting in autumn has a good chance of being favored.

The Queen's Kunning Palace has become even more lively during this period, and they all want the Queen to add her name to the list for autumn hunting there.

The queen has a certain right to make decisions, but in the end it depends on the emperor's will.Those who are not favored, if she doesn't add them, belong to Dong'a's past, but if the favored ones are not on top, and the emperor asks, then it must be a bad thing.

Even Zhang Wenbin, who has just finished confinement, is thinking about going to autumn hunting.

As for the Queen Mother, after thinking about it, she decided not to join in the fun, lest everyone feel uncomfortable.

And autumn hunting is not only a matter in the palace, but also royal family members, famous families, and courtiers, who are lucky enough to go with them, are also a kind of honor.

So now even every family in the capital is trying to find a way to get a place to go to the autumn hunting.

Needless to say, the Wang family is the queen mother's natal family, and their family members are indispensable.This time the Empress Dowager told Empress Zhao personally, and asked Empress Zhao to look after Wang Mingya, "This child is young and has never been there before, Empress, please worry."

Empress Zhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, why don't you let Miss Wang follow the concubine's tent."

Going to the autumn hunting, each concubine has a tent set up separately, and the furnishings inside are also very good, not worse than the house at all, especially the queen's tent, which is definitely the best among the female relatives.

The Queen Mother said: "She's a girl, what's the point of living in the queen's tent? Let her live with Mrs. Cheng Engong."

Empress Zhao nodded and said yes, and then went to prepare for other things.

On Li Jialuo's side, Yun Shi also went to the palace to pay a visit to Li Jialuo, thinking that he would bring a few girls from his family along with him, anyway, they were Concubine Hui's natal family, so they were also qualified.

Moreover, most of the people who have passed this time are people with status and family background. If they can say a good relationship to their daughter and niece, it will not be in vain for me to beg Concubine Hui this time.

After listening to Yun's words, Li Jialuo said: "Father is already the Duke of the county, he can go with him, and mother can take them if she wants, but this time, it's not like usual, the sisters usually have any conflicts, It's okay to be noisy at home, but if it's like this outside, it's too bad, mother, please control them more strictly!"

After hearing this, Yun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is right. After the concubines go back, they will teach them well. You will never embarrass your Majesty."

Concubine Hui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you lose face to me, but just don't lose face to the Wu family."

Yun knew that she had said the wrong thing. Concubine Hui now has the third prince in her hands, so it's embarrassing for the girl from her natal family to be dishonest. In this palace or outside the palace, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks to her?

That is to say, it was also whispering behind her back, but no one had the guts to speak to her face to face here.

If Wanting and the others did something embarrassing, it would also ruin their future.

Mrs. Yun thought about what the master asked her to ask. The master has not been able to find any errands so far, that is, the title of Duke of the county. It sounds nice, but the master is very uncomfortable, so he asked Mrs. Yun to come and ask Concubine Hui .

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Concubine Hui said: "The harem is not allowed to engage in government affairs. My palace is in the palace, and I also fight silently. If I rely on the emperor's affection for my palace, I want the emperor to give my father an official job. Then this palace It's too self-defeating. My mother also persuaded my father. If there is no errand, there will be no errand. The family does not eat less and drink less. Stay in the capital. When the court needs him, it will naturally give him an errand. In the future, this kind of If you ask me to ask for an official, please don't tell my mother. There are so many people in the palace, and my mother doesn't think that I will be favored. How many people actually hope that I will be unlucky? I believe the Wu family does not want me to be so unlucky. "Li Jialuo asked.

Yun understood Concubine Hui's meaning, and quickly shook her head and said, "Everyone is looking forward to your empress getting better and better, but your empress is annoyed, and this concubine knows what to say when I go back."

Yun Shi is not a stupid person either, now that he heard what Concubine Hui said, he knew that the emperor had no intention of giving the master any errand at all.

It would be difficult for others to do so, and when the time comes to let Concubine Hui, the backer of the harem, also fold in, the gain will outweigh the loss.

I just feel that this palace can really change a person, this stepdaughter has become so strong now, she is no longer the girl who just bowed her head when she was brought into the palace.

However, isn't this what Yun's expected a long time ago?Could she still regret it?
After all, this stepdaughter didn't say anything to avenge her biological mother, and she also served as a backer for their Wu family. You know, without Concubine Hui, the master would not be named the Duke of the county, nor could he become the wife of the Duke of the county, and he would be banned outside. People take a high look.Even the gate has changed.Those who come and go are all rich and powerful.

Even in the marriage of her daughter Wanting, the person who is said to be a relative is also high-ranking.So if she is still not satisfied, then it really shouldn't be.

After Yunshi left, Hu Po came in, "Master, you didn't tell Yunshi that you didn't plan to go hunting in autumn."

The third prince Xiao Luo is still young, just over two months old, Li Jialuo is a little worried.So some do not intend to follow.

Li Jialuo smiled and said: "If I really tell her, she has to start persuading me, why bother. I will know when the time comes."

The emperor Xiao Jing came from the queen's side, he looked at the list of people who were going to follow, and saw that there was no Concubine Hui, so he came to Changchun Palace.

"I see that on the list, without you, it's hard to go out, why don't you want to go?" the emperor asked.

Li Jialuo said: "Your Majesty, Luoer is still young. If you put him in the palace, the concubine will never let him go, and you will not be able to play happily. It is better to wait until Luoer is older and the concubine will go again." Have fun."

"Luo'er is a boy, not a big girl. There are so many people waiting around, why worry? I will also arrange manpower here. Most of the people in the palace will follow, and the queen mother will also stay in the palace. There's nothing wrong with it. It's settled like this, you go with me. Luo Er, I can assure you that there is no problem."

"It's rare to go out, just have fun, Concubine Jing and Concubine Wen are going, so don't worry."

For the only healthy prince, he was absolutely [-]% careful, and he had already arranged someone beside the third prince.

It's just that Li Jialuo was still worried, the emperor said: "What? Don't believe me?"

"Where is it? The concubine is afraid that Luo Er will cry if he doesn't see the concubine for ten days."

"You are too used to him, boy, how can you do this? He should be beaten and raised. In this way, I will send people to put guards on Changchun Palace, and prevent outsiders from entering before returning. In this way, You should rest assured."

"Your Majesty, let the First Prince and Second Prince arrange it like this." Li Jialuo said.

"Alright, it's settled like that." The emperor felt that one should not treat one more favorably than another, otherwise it would be bad to make people jealous.

Now that the emperor had already said so, Li Jialuo's previous plan no longer counted, and he hurriedly asked people to pack up the clothes.

When going out this time, he must ride a horse. Li Jialuo's riding skills are not bad.But when the time comes, she can escape by saying that she is weak.It's just that I can go out for a trip, and I still have some expectations in my heart.

"Master, this servant will stay and take care of the third prince!" Hu Po knew that the master was going to follow, and felt that she should stay and take care of the little master, so as not to be harmed by those who were not open-eyed.

Li Jialuo said: "Okay, I will take you out next time. The emperor has arranged people here, so I don't worry about it. There is a queen mother in the palace, and the queen mother is in charge. She doesn't want anything to happen to her grandson when she is in charge." Son. If you have nothing to do, don’t go out. You’ve always been smart and act according to circumstances. The few pills I gave you are not afraid of ordinary poisons.”

"Girl, are you making meatballs again?" Amber felt very distressed. The girl's blood would be used as a primer for these meatballs. How much blood would it take to make these meatballs.

In a hurry, Amber called out her previous address.

"Don't worry, I read an ancient book, which said that if some blood from a person's body can be drained regularly, it will be good for the body, let alone a little blood, which is nothing. My grandfather gave me such blood, It is worth using my blood and flesh and blood."

It's a pity that my grandfather is long gone, who still remembers the name of his miracle doctor?
"Your Majesty, someone came from Concubine Jing of the Chonghua Palace, saying that the second prince has vomited medicine! Please go over and have a look." Liu Yongquan said bravely, not because he wanted to say, but because it was related to the prince's body. Not to mention, it would be a crime to delay things at that time.

"I'm not an imperial doctor. If I go, the second prince's illness will be cured? Tell Concubine Jing that if she's sick, go directly to ask the imperial physician to take a good look at it. If she casually breaks into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she will not go to Autumn Hunting." It's gone!" The emperor was terrified when he got angry.

Liu Yongquan knew the result was like this. Since the second prince was born, this concubine Jing has not been favored as before, and then she always calls the emperor over because the second prince is sick. The emperor is also tired of coming and going. I don't want to see this concubine Jing anymore, but this concubine Jing doesn't know her name yet.

Using children to lure the emperor over, really, I don't know what the emperor hates the most?
The emperor is naturally very dissatisfied with Concubine Jing, once or twice, do you think everyone is a fool?The emperor is not a fool, who would like a man who takes advantage of a father who is worried about his son?Especially every time she passed by, Concubine Jing would make some requests, and the second prince's body was just like that, Concubine Jing made it herself.It made the emperor not wait to see Concubine Jing very much.In order to be able to go to Autumn Hunting this time, why didn't Concubine Jing take the initiative to say no, to take care of the second prince?

And that Concubine Zhang Wen, who was just confinement, begged himself to go out to see the third princess when he was going to see the third princess. Such a woman really displeased the emperor.Selfish as hell.

In this way, it was Concubine Hui who stood up to them in comparison.

Concubine Jing's people were scared away. Concubine Jing didn't dare to say anything after knowing what the emperor said. In fact, she really wanted to use the banner of the child's illness to get the emperor to come to her side. The women in the harem, If you are not favored by the emperor, then life will be difficult.What's more, she still wanted to give birth to a healthy prince, and she regretted it to death this time. If she became pregnant again, she would definitely not make her own decisions, and she would definitely give birth to the child naturally.

Even if the second prince dies, she is not afraid.

But since he was able to attend bedtime, the emperor has come, but he has never spent the night in this Chonghua Palace.She is the lord of the first palace, so she can stay with the emperor overnight.

She also thought that this woman after giving birth would not be very popular with the emperor.But she asked the people in her palace to go to the respect room to inquire about the news, and knowing that the emperor was actually in that concubine Hui's full moon, she went to see Concubine Hui to sleep with her.

This is really unacceptable. In this respect, she once again lost to Concubine Hui.

After giving birth, they still have pets, but she doesn't.Really fell out of favor.

She didn't know what was going on, the emperor liked her very much before, saying that she was blessed, and her father also had real power in the court, Concubine Jing could be said to have a bright future.

Why did the emperor suddenly treat her coldly after giving birth to the second prince?

Concubine Jing, who was a little out of balance, used her son's body to call the emperor over.Back then, didn't Concubine Wang Xian use the reason of the eldest prince's illness time and time again to rob the emperor several times?

Concubine Wang Xian has always been favored, and the eldest prince has contributed a lot.

But when it comes to Concubine Jing, the emperor has no patience.Concubine Jing was still afraid that she wouldn't be able to go to the paddock this time, so she didn't dare to make any more fuss. A few days before departure, she was quiet, and even the second prince stopped asking the imperial doctor to see a doctor, and he felt much better.

In the Palace of Compassion, the Queen Mother called the emperor over, "The Ai family is thinking, you all went out, and the Ai family moved the eldest prince and the others to the Palace of Compassion, what does the emperor think?"

The emperor heard this, and said with a smile: "The queen mother only went out for ten days, and it was troublesome to move things. They are still young. If they quarrel with the queen mother every day, that is the son's unfilial piety. I will arrange for the children. Well, we have a nanny and a servant, and I have left Liu Yongquan behind, so why not go hunting with us, the queen mother, at least she can go out for activities."

The queen mother hurriedly said: "The bones of Ai's family are old, and it's not good to go out. If Ai's family is here, they won't be able to let go. Let's just live in this Palace of Compassion." The queen mother looked very upset lonely.

The emperor said: "Why don't you let the eldest princess and the second princess accompany the queen mother? They are also old, and they can still talk to the queen mother."

"Forget it, just let them come here every day to say hello. On the Ai family's side, we can get along with a few concubines."

The eldest princess knew that she could not go hunting with her, and she had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to accompany the queen mother every day, she was really not happy.He pleaded with Empress Zhao: "Empress Mother, please intercede with Emperor Father, let me go too, I'm almost suffocated to death every day in the palace!"

She didn't want to be with the Queen Mother at all, and the Queen Mother didn't like her either.

Empress Zhao hurriedly persuaded: "It's not that the queen mother won't intercede for you. You are still young and can't even ride a horse. When you know how to ride a horse, the queen mother will definitely let you go."

"Well, if I don't go, I won't go, but can I not have to go to the Compassion Palace every day. The imperial grandmother doesn't like me!"

"You are doing your filial piety for your father and mother. Your father is happy to see you doing well. Good boy, you can go with your second sister every day. You have to take good care of your second sister, you know ?"

Empress Zhao also heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to send several princes to the Palace of Compassion, but the Emperor did not agree.It seems that the emperor is not very worried about the queen mother.

As for the princess, the queen mother is a loving grandmother, how could she not treat her granddaughter well?So Empress Zhao still rest assured that her daughter will go to the Palace of Compassion.Besides, the emperor has already given orders, so if you don't go, you have to go.

Sometimes Empress Zhao felt that the Queen Mother and her elders only had the Wang family in their eyes, and even the emperor had to stand aside.Her main purpose is to hold the Third Prince in her hands.After all, only one third prince is healthy.Do you want to keep him by your side in the future, and then wait for the girl from the Wang family to enter the palace, and then raise it for the girl from the Wang family?

This time, the emperor mentioned all the people who gave birth to the prince to the concubine position, and he also meant to guard against this. Unless the girl of the Wang family can become one of the four concubines in the future, or more seriously, become the imperial concubine, then she is eligible to raise a concubine. Concubine's child.Or the child's mother is gone!The child's mother is gone?Empress Zhao's heart moved, could it be this time?The Wang family couldn't be so reckless.
