First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 187

As the setting sun slanted, Zeng Rou left grandly in a carriage.

The emperor stood at the window, the extremely simple carriage sank into the setting sun like blood, his face was even more gloomy.

It was already evening when he got the news, Zeng Rou didn't wait for a moment, the emperor wanted to keep her for a night and wanted to comfort her, but Zeng Rou's mocking, sad, mournful sneer kept echoing in his ears.

"Order people to protect the queen well, and the group of nobles outside the pass should also be rectified."

"According to the order."

The land of Longxing, the ancestor of the royal family, was outside the pass. In the last years of the previous dynasty, Taizu was the commander of the capital outside the pass. During the civil strife in the Central Plains, Taizu used his small force to resist the northern barbarians who planned to take advantage of the chaos. , when the princes from all over the country were vying for the throne and fighting to the death for the throne, Taizu would rather guard the border than enter the Central Plains.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!
At the most tragic time of the melee among the heroes, Taizu finally repelled the barbarians, knocked open the Shanhai Pass, and entered the capital Qinwang to rescue them. Then he took the emperor to order the princes and pacified the princes of the world. Only then did the foundation of today's business be laid.

Outside the pass, there are still princes who were canonized by the Taizu when he ascended the throne. Those princes are only enjoying their blessings outside the pass, and they don't have any military strength.

In addition to beheading ministers who are not used to by the emperor, they are more likely to be dispatched outside the customs or to the border.

Zeng Rou's family was dispatched outside the pass, her father died and her mother fell ill, and the family was destroyed... The emperor hated the group of empty princes outside the pass who had no winks!The queen's natal family is no longer valued by the emperor, and they are also serious relatives of the emperor.
When the emperor resented them for not knowing how to advance or retreat, and regardless of their superiority or inferiority, he never thought that if he hadn't spoiled the former imperial concubine Liu Shi and neglected the empress in every possible way, especially what would happen today?
He himself didn't care about the queen's family, and let the imperial concubine Liu's face hit the queen, how could the well-informed princes outside the pass care about the queen's natal family?
Besides, the queen's natal family, Zeng's family, is famous for producing beauties.

Zeng Rou's nieces and others are all well-off, without the protection of titles, this group of well-rounded girls naturally become playthings in the eyes of princes who eat, drink, and have fun.

Although the Zeng family is in decline, but the Zeng family used to be a hereditary duke's mansion, not many descendants of the Zeng family became talented, and the integrity is still there, so how could they do something like giving their daughter to the prince to play around with?
Moreover, the daughters of the Zeng family also have a characteristic of being loyal and uncompromising, with extremely strong temperaments. Facing the pressure of the princes, they would rather die than become the playthings of the prince's concubine!
The more the emperor read the memorial in detail, the more disturbed he felt.

If it wasn't for the loyalty of the daughters of the Zeng family, the Zeng family would not have been in a hurry to marry Zeng Rou before the crown prince chose a concubine.

The emperor let go of his hand, and the book in his hand fell to the ground, and the lit candle should correspond to the handwriting of the book on the ground. Three of Zeng Rou's five nieces committed suicide to keep their chastity, and the other two became nuns... Zeng Rou was the prince back then One of the concubine's candidates.

Because the Zeng family married Zeng Rou before the emperor ordered Zeng Rou to enter the palace for election, the late emperor was very unhappy, and several times gave Zeng Rou's father shame, but fortunately, the Zeng family still married their daughter into the royal family. After meeting Zeng Rou, she understood the painstaking efforts of the Zeng family.

At that time, Zeng Rou was too naive and unsuitable to be a princess.

If it wasn't for the sudden sudden death of the prince, the current emperor has performed well, and the late emperor would have no one to choose, and the late emperor would not have chosen him as emperor.

"Your Majesty, please rest."

"I can't sleep."

The emperor sat behind the table in his clothes and thought deeply. Perhaps the Taimiao was too quiet. He thought of many things that he thought he had forgotten. "Do you think I did something wrong?"

"The Empress will understand Your Majesty."

"I don't believe you when you say this. Didn't you see that she didn't say a word to me before she left? I... I know that I've gone too far, but the queen... oh..."

The emperor sighed silently. When he saw Zeng Rou being stupid before, the emperor was angry with her. The emperor didn't give up on Zeng Rou all at once, and favored his favorite concubine. Zeng Rou's thoughts were not in tune with the emperor's. One hundred emperors would not like these practices!
"...After those few incidents, I gradually drifted away from her. The beloved concubine loves me and knows how to love me, but Zeng Rou always makes me angry. Liu's natal brothers are sweet, loyal, and capable. So I promoted them, did I do something wrong?"

With his hands on his forehead, the emperor stared at the candles on the table and murmured: "They often enter the palace and see Liu's family getting along. He treats him like an uncle...the Zeng family will only be stupid...but I didn't expect that the princes outside the pass would abuse the Zeng family! Torture my wife's family!"

The emperor was very annoyed, so he picked up a pen to brush up a few imperial edicts, "You catch up with the queen and go outside the pass with her."

The chief eunuch bowed to receive the imperial edict, and said: "The servant complies with the edict."

"emperor……."

"what's up?"

"Ms. Concubine Shu, Mrs. Li Zhaorong, and Mrs. Hong's family have all contributed, do you see?"

The emperor's eyes were deep, and he said with a low smile: "They didn't open their mouths to beg me, why didn't I grant their family's wish of bad fame and wealth? I love you, do something for me, I don't think it will take too much reward from me, As for their natal family... I will suppress it, and as a relative of the emperor, I have to lead by example. Others do what I want, and I will reward them after the meeting. I will reward them for ten points. They just asked me a few days ago I have shown my loyalty, and I think they will feel more at ease if I don't reward them generously at this time."

The chief eunuch's back was bursting with cold sweat, the emperor, you can just pretend to be confused, but the group of concubines' family members did say that it is enough for the emperor to do things for the emperor, and don't reward them, and the concubines are all for the emperor Sacrificing one's life like death, with no complaints or regrets... just pretend to be big, you deserve it.

He has a lot of gossip, some spies won't write the news of the emperor's memorial, the chief eunuch does know, the family of Concubine Xiao Shu and Li Zhaorong's family in the capital are happily waiting for the emperor's reward,

Waiting for the emperor to promote them, their titles are high enough and their official positions are important enough to ensure the safety of the empress and prince in the harem.

The front court and the rear palace are always inseparable.

The chief eunuch ordered the young eunuchs around him to serve the emperor carefully. He rode a horse and chased Zeng Rou starry night. He saw that the emperor felt compassion for the queen. The chief eunuch reminded himself to respect the queen and make up for the relationship with the queen.

The queen's performance in recent days, the chief eunuch deeply felt that the life in the harem would no longer be dominated by concubines.

The days when the emperor's favorite concubine covered the sun with clouds and oppressed the empress might be gone forever.

On the third day after Zeng Rou left, the emperor couldn't stay in the Taimiao anymore. In the past, Zeng Rou was angry with himself, and the days passed quickly. Now the Taimiao is as quiet as stagnant water, and the emperor ordered to return to the palace.

"Your Majesty, I found this from the empress's house."

Zeng Rou left in a hurry, and went to the funeral outside the pass in a light car. Clothes, jewelry, scrolls, etc., Zeng Rou stayed in the Taimiao. When the emperor saw the maids packing their bags, he remembered Zeng Rou's things and asked the maids to pack them together.

I don't know when Zeng Rou didn't wear much jewelry, and most of her clothes were plain. The emperor picked up the vulgar novel that he judged to be an idiot, read two pages, and on the way back to the capital, he used vulgar novels. Fiction to pass the time.

The emperor saw that there were annotations written by Zeng Rou next to the novel, and he became more interested for a while. Zeng Rou interpreted such a vulgar novel as the Four Books and Five Classics?
annotation?

While reading the romance novel, the emperor admired Zeng Rou's commentary on the relationship between men and women.

In the sedan chair the emperor was riding on, the emperor's laughter erupted from time to time, and there were also the emperor's admiring laughter: "Incisive, incisive, true love...hehehehehe."

After laughing, the emperor closed the novel, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared. In Zeng Rou's eyes, is he as stupid as the man in Fengyue's novel?Being tricked again and again by the concubines?
The emperor twirled his beard, "Zeng Rou, I'm not a fool!"

When the emperor returns to the palace, the concubines will naturally come out of the palace to greet him.

Concubine Xue Gui and Concubine Xiao Shu led their concubines to bow down to the emperor who came down from the imperial chariot. They hadn't seen each other for about a month. Even the indifferent Concubine Xiao Shu showed a look of missing the emperor. The eyes of the concubines in the harem focused on the emperor, as if they had left It seemed that the emperor couldn't survive.

Concubine Xiao Shu and the others were not disappointed with the emperor, especially Concubine Xiao Shu. She risked being discovered by the space and finally made the imperial concubine sick. She spread the news to the Taimiao and waited for the emperor's reward.

Even if there is an empress, Concubine Xiao Shu's position cannot be promoted. The emperor can give her a title, or pay more attention to her son, or he can also show kindness to her natal family... She thinks very well, the emperor But there is no expression.

It seemed that Concubine Xiao Shu had done what she should have done.

Even if you are disappointed with the emperor's boss, the excellent employees who want to upgrade must please the boss and show their loyalty. Concubine Xiao Shu's temperament is more distinct, and her slightly raised eyeliner outlines her charming style. Even among the concubines in the harem, Concubine Xiao Shu is also a more conspicuous one.
