Harem strategy

Chapter 86 Family Dinner
This time, because of the warm weather, Li Jialuo also wanted the third prince to go to the summer palace, so they cleaned up Changchun Palace for four or five days, and made seven or eight boxes for clothes.

This is the first time for her to go to the Summer Palace, so she doesn't know the specific situation there.

What's more, some people on duty were left in the capital this time to ensure the basic operation of the yamen. Others, including officials from the six ministries, also followed to the summer resort.

Around the Summer Palace, the officials in the capital also have their own courtyards.

When the time comes, the men will work and the women will be able to escape the summer heat in another courtyard.

Or go to the palace to meet the ladies in the palace, but the mentality here is much better than in the capital.

To put it bluntly, it's just like playing a game, not as depressing as the capital.

De Chongyuan didn't come over, but the emperor left De Chongyuan's elder brother Yang Fen, the imperial guard, in the capital. People in the palace knew about it and said that De Chongyuan was blessed, and the emperor was still worried when he left. Chongyuan's brother stayed behind to protect her.

The Summer Palace is in the north of the capital. This area has mountains, water, and pastures. The temperature is much lower than that of the capital. The scenery is beautiful. The entire palace does not have the majesty of the imperial palace, but it has the meaning of small bridges and flowing water.

Of course, the rooms are definitely first-class. When these concubines arrive, the palace people in the palace have already packed up the places and residences.

The emperor lived in Danboju where he used to live, the empress lived in her Ningjingzhai, the queen mother still lived in Songhezhai as usual, and the other concubines chose their places according to their status.

The summer resort also had a former dynasty. When the emperor came here, he had to continue working with his courtiers. Of course, he would ride horses and hunt when he had more free time, because the summer palace was big enough, with grasslands, mountains, and lakes.

The scenery is even more beautiful, and it's not too hot, otherwise it wouldn't be called a summer palace.

Because Li Jialuo took the third prince with him, he chose a relatively large place, Wananxuan. There is no pool in Wananxuan, but it is very quiet inside. There are several pine trees that are hundreds of years old in the yard. In this summer, Red Thread and the others like to take a rest under the pine tree.

Many of the places where other concubines live have pools, towers and pavilions, which is more like a small bridge and flowing water.

It's just that Li Jialuo thought of his son's mischievousness. If he really wanted water, he didn't want to play every day. The most important thing was that he was afraid of any problems, so he didn't choose such a place.

The place has been tidied up a long time ago. The palace people in this palace haven't seen the emperor and concubines coming over for several years, but this time they mustered up their energy and wanted to show off.

The time when the Empress Dowager came back is not counted, because when the Empress Dowager came, at most it was to pay homage to the Buddha, and the people around the Empress Dowager were also those, and the Empress Dowager would not ask for many people.

As for the concubines in the harem, it is different. If you follow the right master, you will most likely be able to leave this palace that no one pays attention to in the future.

You must know that being an errand in the palace is definitely not the same treatment as being an errand in the palace.

In the palace, maybe one's life will be so idle, and there is not as much oil and water as in the palace.

They were unlucky at the time and were selected to work as errands in the palace. Now that they have the opportunity, anyone who has any ideas wants to take advantage of this opportunity to leave this ghostly place.

Some court ladies with good looks even want to take advantage of this opportunity to win the favor of the emperor, and then become the master in one fell swoop, and live the life of a master from then on.

For the master who came this time, the people in the palace used various methods to find out a thing or two, because in the palace, there are people who come to deliver things every month to ensure that the people in the palace have enough food. Of course, there are also people who specialize in the palace. Chiefs, these chiefs naturally know some situations in the palace, such as who is favored and who is cold.

Then what the emperor likes, what the queen likes, what the concubine likes and so on.

It's just that these people are definitely not powerful when they are sent to the palace, so the information they get is often not very accurate.

The red line said: "I heard people say that in order to find a good job, these people in the palace gave countless good things to the leaders who arranged the job, some of them broke their heads, tsk tsk, it's really lively no."

Ning Xiang said: "Don't they know that since the masters are coming here, they are all bringing their own people with them, how could they use them so easily?"

The red thread said: "As long as you have something interesting to hope, you must think that you can achieve it. Otherwise, in this palace for the rest of your life, would you be willing to change you? Even being a cleaning girl at the master's side is better than not seeing the master. If the master leaks a little, it will be enough for them to eat and drink for several years."

It's not just about the chance to enter the palace, if there are few opportunities, then go to the hot stove, anyway, the rewards are more than usual.

This is also a truth, Ning Xiang knows that her master is generous, if she only has monthly money, it must be that little, but the gold and silver jewelry that the master usually rewards is many times more than that monthly money , the most important thing is to follow the master to have face, and now everyone in the palace, who would not give face when they heard about the people in Changchun Palace?

Ning Xiang said: "It seems that these people are trying to steal our jobs. No wonder these few days, when they see me, my sister is older and my sister is shorter."

The red thread said: "These are still secondary, you should be more careful, don't be taken advantage of by others because of these things, you know, we follow the master, the master is good, we can be good, the master is not good, we can live it is good?"

"Red thread, you are right. I understand. At the beginning, the master was just ignored by the emperor for a while. Those people had noses instead of noses, and eyes instead of eyes. Even the people in the imperial dining room gave us cold meals and cold dishes. We Wherever you go, you have to be inferior to others. Besides, I didn't wake up when something happened to Qiuyun, that's really stupid."

My own destiny is closely linked with my master. Qiu Yun just couldn't figure it out before, so he was obsessed with ghosts and cooperating with outsiders to plot against his master. In the end, he was "rehabilitated".After being sent out, I don't know where they are in the end, but most of them are no longer in this world.

People who betray the Lord in this way will not be welcomed by others even if they go to the bottom.If you recognize the master, you must recognize it for the rest of your life, not to mention that your master is not incompetent.Moreover, his heart is much kinder than other masters.

"Concubine Hui, the emperor invites you to have dinner. The emperor said, bring the third prince with you." The little six came over with a smile and conveyed the emperor's instructions. His master Liu Yongquan said that he should be more polite in front of the concubine Hui. Well, don't rely on being the emperor's servant, you can be powerful.

Of course Xiaoliuzi knows, besides, he is also familiar with the people on Concubine Hui's side, and they have a good relationship.

"Thank you, I will take the third prince there in a while." Li Jialuo said with a smile.

She changed into fresh clothes and didn't wear too much jewelry on her head. The emperor rewarded her a lot, some of which were beautiful and heavy, and when she wore them on her head, she felt solemn without knowing it.

It's just a concubine, why should you be so solemn?That's what a queen should have.

The third prince also changed his clothes. Originally in the room, she let the third prince wear a small bellyband to play. Anyway, there was no one else. Besides, the third prince is still young, so others would not say anything if they saw it.

It's just that he was going to the emperor's side, and he even dressed the boy in a suit.

In more than a month, the third prince will be one year old. Both the emperor and the queen said that they will hold a catch-up week for the third prince in the summer palace.

When Li Jialuo came to Danboju with the third prince in his arms, the queen had already arrived. Li Jialuo also saw Concubine An and the second princess, and the eldest princess was also there. Then Li Ronghua brought the eldest prince down there with his head down. Li Jialuo hurried over to salute, very humble.

Empress Zhao smiled and said: "This palace and the emperor said, call Mu'er and the others over to have a meal with their father and emperor, and they will stay in this palace for the next few months. At this time, if we stay together well, we are all brothers and sisters of our own family, and we have no birthright."

Li Jialuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

Queen Zhao said: "It's nothing, why did Concubine Hui come here with Luo Er?"

Li Jialuo said: "This child insisted on being hugged by my concubine. I was afraid of wasting time, so I carried him here by myself. He is getting heavier and heavier now. It is estimated that after a while, I will not be able to hold him anymore."

Empress Zhao also likes children who are thick-headed and tiger-headed. She doesn't have a prince herself, so there is no such thing as jealousy. She is afraid that other princes will take the position of her son. She is good to the three princes.

Seeing that the third prince was chubby, staring at her with a pair of round black eyes, Empress Zhao liked it very much in her heart, "I will try it and see how much our third prince weighs."

The eldest princess on the side saw it, and ran over, and said to her queen mother with a smile: "Queen mother, look at the third brother, his arms are like lotus root joints, one joint at a time, just looking at it makes him want to take a bite."

Cute children, as long as they have no bad intentions, they will like them.

The eldest princess insisted on competing with Queen Zhao to embrace the third prince.The third prince is not afraid of life at all, in the arms of Queen Zhao, he is still looking at people.Queen Zhao liked it even more.It is said that this child is courageous and does not recognize his birth.

Concubine An also came over to have fun, and the second princess squeezed the third prince's chubby hand carefully, really wanting to take a bite.

Surrounded by so many people, the third prince became a little impatient, like his mother and concubine leaning over.

Li Ronghua lowered his head even lower, and the eldest prince also lowered his head, not looking this way.

After a while, Concubine Jing also brought the second prince over, but the second prince was held by the nanny. From that appearance, he was not as heavy as the third prince, and he was also thinner.

Concubine Jing looked at the third prince surrounded by everyone, her eyes sank, but then she smiled and said, "Queen Wan'an, our second prince has also come to visit the queen mother. Qing'er, call the queen mother quickly."

The second prince started talking, and Concubine Jing taught the second prince to call him father and mother every day.

Li Ronghua came over to salute Concubine Jing again. A concubine with a child in the palace, that is, Li Ronghua has the lowest status. Oh, no, there is also Concubine Wen, who has a lower status than her.

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "Li Ronghua is free, the eldest prince is the elder brother of our second prince, and our second prince will be taken by the elder brother of the elder prince in the future."

Li Ronghua hurriedly said he didn't dare.The second prince was urged by Concubine Jing to call his mother, but when the second prince saw so many people, he cried.Concubine Jing was annoyed and couldn't say anything to the second prince, so she scolded the second prince's nanny, saying that she didn't like the second prince.

Queen Zhao said: "Okay, it's just a child crying, Concubine Jing, what are you doing? Scared Qing'er, can you bear it?"

The emperor's prince is not something you, a concubine, can say casually.

Concubine Jing said aggrievedly: "Empress, usually Qing'er is very good, and can call anything, but today, this wet nurse didn't take good care of him, that's why he's not feeling well."

Empress Zhao said: "It's not worth anything, let's all sit down, the emperor will come over in a while, by the way, let's see why Concubine Wen hasn't come yet?"

Concubine Wen gave birth to the third princess, so she is also eligible to come here.

The third princess is also fat and white, but she is a princess after all, the regret in Wen Bin's heart is definitely great.

After Concubine Jing sat down, seeing that she was in the same position as Concubine Hui, she felt a little more balanced, and the people who came here probably understood, but she asked: "The empress, why didn't the empress come here?"

Ever since the queen mother showed affection for the second prince when she was grasping Zhou, Concubine Jing and the queen mother have gotten very close.

The Queen Mother also gave the second prince a lot of good things to keep in the bottom of the box. At this time, Concubine Jing said that the Queen Mother is coming, and the meaning is self-evident.

It is probably because I saw everyone around the third prince just now, and I felt unbalanced.

Li Ronghua glanced at Concubine Hui, seeing that Concubine Hui's expression remained the same, she lowered her head again.

Empress Zhao said: "The empress dowager has the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, why, doesn't Concubine Jing know?"

Concubine Jing smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and said: "Oh, yes, the empress dowager has this habit, look at my brain, I'm a little confused, it's all because I'm tired of taking care of Qing'er."

Concubine An laughed inwardly, this Concubine Jing really doesn't know what to say.The second princess said to her concubine mother in a low voice: "Concubine mother, what Concubine Jing said, is it uncomfortable to take care of the second imperial brother?"

Concubine An hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, your father will come soon!"

"That's right, she said it herself." The second princess pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

The mother and daughter played a small game, and Concubine Wen also came with the three princesses. Concubine Wen was the lowest, so she came to bow to everyone.The third princess was a few months younger than the third prince, and she was also held by the nanny, so she didn't want to show off when she came over like Concubine Jing.

She found a corner and sat down, and the nanny stood beside her holding the third princess.

Empress Zhao saw that Concubine Hui had placed the third prince next to her, and they had a table for each of them, with iced fruits on top of the table.

The third prince was next to him, and his hands didn't stop firing. He wanted to grab this and that one at a time, so he couldn't help Concubine Hui. The third prince thought it was his mother playing a game with him, so he laughed and worked even harder.

When Concubine Jing heard the voice and saw the pair of mother and son, she felt contemptuous in her heart, it was really out of order, a mother and concubine should be more dignified, let the children know the majesty of the mother, how could it be like this, and play with her own children?Simply!

I don't know what the emperor likes about Concubine Hui, and the third prince is a little fat man, why is he so fat?Not as good as his own son, that's just right.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, look quickly, the third brother is there." The second princess was a little jealous, the third brother is so cute, I really want to pinch the third brother's fat face.

As soon as the emperor entered the indifferent residence, he saw his wives, concubines and children. In the whole room, the voice of the third prince giggling sounded particularly pleasant.

Seeing the emperor coming, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted. Concubine Hui hugged the third prince and also saluted the emperor, but the third prince's chubby hand couldn't hold anything, and an apple fell down and rolled directly to the emperor's feet .

Concubine Jing was happy in her heart, it's no wonder the emperor wasn't angry with this appearance.A prince with no rules at all.

Who knew that the emperor was not only not angry, but also picked up the apples on the ground and gave them to the smiling third prince.

"Luoer is being naughty again." The emperor said with a smile.

The third prince naturally knew his father, and when he saw his father, he hurriedly handed the apple that his father had handed to him just now, and then handed it to his father.

The emperor took the apple, and the corners of his mouth curled up.The Eldest Princess has always had a good relationship with her father. Seeing this, she smiled and said: "Father, the third brother knows how to be filial to his father at such a young age. I will definitely be more filial to my father in the future."

The emperor also loves the eldest daughter, because she is a princess, so she has no other worries. After hearing what the eldest daughter said, he said, "Why, are you still jealous with your brother?"
