Mistress

Chapter 71

The civil official from the south of the Yangtze River said again: "There are not many heirs to the emperor, so it's time to add branches and leaves. When the royal family prospers, the foundation is solid, so that the country can be guarded for thousands of years. Several relatives of the humble minister have moved in with the minister. In the capital city, there are two nieces who are extremely watery and clear, and they are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. One is fifteen years old and the other is sixteen years old. They, so this minister is thinking, if they can accompany the emperor, it will be their blessing, and they can also relieve the emperor's worries and boredom."

The official was afraid that the ministers would think he was flattering, and he did it in front of everyone, so he said again: "Your Majesty, if you feel that there is something wrong with Lin Xing's niece, you can send someone to the Jiangnan area to select Girls from a good family, there are many beauties in Weichen's hometown, and it is pleasing to pick a few. The emperor must not suffer himself, even for the sake of his heirs, he should have more concubines. It's not a long-term thing..."

This official said a lot, and he was quite courageous, but he spoke out everyone's aspirations, and no one thought he was disgusted.Except for Li Yan's two elder brothers who were extremely displeased, the other courtiers were all smiling. As long as the emperor was accompanied by many beauties, they would be able to have a good time when they returned home.

Xu Cheng looked at the expressions of the courtiers below, and felt that they seemed to be more urgent than himself.

He really wants to try, can those so-called beauties relieve him of his worries, can they make him happy, can he stop thinking about his first wife in his heart?
But he didn't want to mobilize people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick beauties. He thought that this civil official's family background was clean, and he had nothing to interfere with the power of the royal family. Let's see if you can get into my eyes."

The official bowed down on the ground excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."

The other officials saw that he offered two to the emperor at once, and the emperor accepted them all. They were also thinking in their hearts about any girls in their families who could stand on the stage. If they had the opportunity, they would also offer them to the emperor.

Li Yan's two elder brothers also congratulated the emperor, but they were extremely depressed. They had already arranged for Yujin and Yuyu, why didn't the younger sister send them to the emperor?Could it be that the emperor didn't make her his queen because he saw that his sister was stingy, and he kept two beautiful girls by his side as court ladies and refused to dedicate them to the emperor?

After going to court, the two Li brothers went home immediately and told their father Li Xiangrui about the incident.Li Xiangrui immediately wrote a letter to ask someone to bring it to Li Yan, urging her to give Yujin and Yuyu to the emperor as soon as possible. If the emperor favors the other two Jiangnan girls, she might never be a queen again.

When Li Yan received such a letter from Li Xiangrui, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.She had just learned that the emperor let two Jiangnan women into the palace, and now Li Xiangrui urged her to send Yujin and Yuyu to coax Xu Cheng, meaning that Xu Cheng had four beauties in his arms and wanted to throw her aside up?

She is about to pass her 28th birthday, and she is twice the age of these little girls. Could it be that she is really old?But when he looked in the mirror, he was obviously still very young.

It is really sad to live in this ancient time. In modern times, a 28-year-old woman is still a flower. In this ancient time, in the eyes of ancient men, she is probably a withered flower waiting to fall into the soil.

That civil servant moved really fast, he just mentioned this matter in the morning, and in the evening, someone brought the two girls into the palace, probably because he was anxiously waiting to go to bed tonight, so as to be ahead of the other girls.

Logically, it takes a month for the women who enter the palace to go to bed, in case these women are not clean, and they are afraid that they come in with evil babies, the emperor's heir can't tolerate a little sloppy.

Xu Cheng was not a fool, he didn't see these two girls, but asked them to take them to live separately in the second palace, and find a few nuns to teach them some basic palace etiquette.

Cui Momo was also anxious, and said: "Mother, why don't you... send Yujin and Yuyu to the emperor? At least the two of them will stay in the palace for a long time, and let the imperial doctor take the pulse carefully, and then they can go to bed .”

Li Yan looked up at Nanny Cui.

Cui Momo lowered her head, "Your Majesty, I don't want the Emperor to touch other women, but..." She wiped away her old tears, "I'm afraid that the Emperor will never see Your Majesty again."

Qi'er was beside her but said: "Don't worry, at least wait a little longer, the two Jiangnan women have been in the palace for less than a month, and they can't sleep at all, if the emperor doesn't come to Chengyuan Palace in a few days, I won't see you off again." late."

Cui Nanny said: "Qi'er, you are young and don't understand the heart of a man. Maybe the emperor is just waiting for the empress to express her opinion. If you delay for a day, the emperor will be more distracted. If you continue to consume it, I'm afraid it will hurt you." Spent all the love the emperor had for his empress. In fact, it doesn't matter if one or two beauties are sent to the emperor, the important thing is to win over the emperor's heart. Qier, you don't remember that Wang Yingying coquettish goblin in Yang's mansion, Didn't the emperor forget her too?"

Qi'er bit her lip tightly, and didn't argue anymore, maybe men are really like that.

Qing'er ran out of Chengyuan Palace angrily, and saw Yujin and Yuyu were watering the flowers in the yard, Qing'er came to them, stared at their faces and looked again and again, wasn't it also a pair? Eyes, nose, and mouth?There is no one who is more eye-catching than the empress, that is, the skin is a little tender.

Because of this, the emperor doesn't like his empress anymore, and wants to sleep with these lowly women who have no family background, no status, no cultivation, and no taste?
Is it really so great that the skin is tender?Qing'er really wanted to reach out and scratch a few blood marks on their faces, to see if the emperor still wanted to!
"Qing'er, call Yujin and Yuyu in." Li Yan ordered inside.

Qing'er stomped her feet, did the empress really listen to what Cui Nanny said?She ran in and pouted, "Your Majesty, no!"

Li Yan's heart hurts more than Qing'er, Xu Cheng has already let the two Jiangnan girls into the palace, what is she waiting for, really thinks that Xu Cheng can come to confess her love to her?Maybe Xu Cheng is waiting for her to show weakness to him!
As long as she doesn't show weakness for a day, Xu Cheng will procrastinate for a day not to make her a queen. Once she shows weakness and expresses her willingness to live with all the concubines and not monopolize Xu Cheng alone, Xu Cheng should come to her right away. Yuan Gong, and she staged another loving couple.

Li Yan calmed down her emotions, and then let her heart become cold and hard, and said: "Qing'er, you call the two of them here, and dress them in the gauze with cicada wings for sleeping. Qi'er, go find The imperial physician, take them with you to Chunhui Palace later, and let the imperial physician feel the pulse of the two of them in front of the emperor. They have lived in the prime minister's mansion for two days, and they have entered the palace for ten days. As long as they are clean, they should be able to get out What's the problem."

Qi'er and Qing'er looked at Li Yan with tears in their eyes, and Nanny Cui turned her face away to wipe away her tears.Li Yan was thinking, maybe a woman who wants to be a queen must have such a broad mind, sending a woman to the emperor is a compulsory course for queens, and whoever is such a queen is worthless.But for thousands of years, it wasn't a group of women who wanted to be women and followed suit.After all, it is not for feelings, but for interests.

Although she doesn't want to be a queen anymore, she is willing to give Xu Cheng this face, give him as many women as he wants, and let him have a feast tonight, anyway, she no longer has any fantasies.

Li Yan waved her hand, Qi'er and Qing'er took orders and hurried away.

Li Yan then asked Nanny Cui to bring her a thick coat, she was going to see Xiao'er.Cui Nanny refused, "Your Majesty, when the Emperor sees that Your Majesty has sent Yujin and Yuyu there, maybe he feels ashamed of Your Majesty in his heart and feels that he shouldn't be neglected for so long. He probably will come to see His Majesty Yes, maybe I will stay in Chengyuan Palace, it will not be too late for the empress to visit the prince tomorrow, it is getting late."

Li Yan sneered, "I still want to wait here for the emperor to give me rain?"

"Your Majesty, please don't get angry with the emperor, as long as the emperor comes and sleeps with your empress in Chengyuan Palace, you will definitely be able to appoint your empress as queen tomorrow, can't Xiao'er rely on your empress to be crowned prince sooner? "

Li Yan knew that Cui Mama's earnest words were for her own good, but she knew that Xu Cheng would not come, so she said, "Mama Mama, the Emperor has two beauties accompanying him tonight, so why would he think of coming to Chengyuan?" Gong, he hasn't touched a woman in half a year."

Mother Cui thought it made sense, so she went to find a thick coat.

In fact, the reason why Li Yan thought that Xu Cheng would not come was not because Xu Cheng hadn't touched a woman for too long, but because he knew Xu Cheng's temperament.If Li Yan came over to coax Li Yan as soon as she gave him a woman, then how bluntly he would have to show that he snubbed her before to want many women.

Xu Cheng is not such a person, he is not so thick-skinned.

Not long after Xu Cheng ordered the two women from Jiangnan to be resettled, Qi'er and Qing'er came over with the two beautifully dressed women in their arms, followed by Imperial Doctor Zhang.It was the great doctor Zhang who was sent to prison by Ye Zheng after taking the pulse of Mrs. Xu. Xu Cheng has released him now and is still working as a doctor in the palace.

Qi'er and Qing'er were dissatisfied, although they didn't dare to show it in front of the emperor, they couldn't laugh, they silently pushed Yujin and Yuyu in front of Xu Cheng, and they left.

Doctor Zhang stood beside him. Seeing the emperor stunned, he didn't dare to speak. He just took the pulse of Yujin and Yuyu silently.

The reason why Zhang Taiyi didn't dare to speak was because he saw Xu Cheng's dark face, he might be furious at any time, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, so don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do.

After Imperial Doctor Zhang left, Yujin and Yuyu were left in Xu Cheng's bedroom, while the eunuchs and others were waiting outside.

Seeing the emperor's dark face, the two of them didn't dare to move, so they just stood on both sides, shivering with cold because they didn't wear much clothes.

Xu Cheng's heart was in a mess, Li Yan actually sent him two girls, was she angry with him, or was she really a compromise in order to become a queen smoothly?He especially wanted to meet Li Yan and see how she was feeling right now.The thought of her being sad made his heart ache.

However, he still sat there after all and did not get up.

He looked at the two left and right with a dark face, and seeing them shivering from the cold, he asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Report to the emperor, servant girl Yujin."

"Report to the emperor, servant girl Yuyu."

Not only were their bodies trembling, but their voices were trembling as well.

Xu Cheng wanted to see if he had feelings for them, so he said, "Lie down and cover yourself with quilts first, so you don't get too cold."
