Harem Seizure

Chapter 38

"I really don't know, but I heard that it came from Concubine Yi. It seems that Aunt Chun knows?" Queen Yao turned around the purple gold gemstone armor and said with a soft smile.

"My empress, that one has spent a lot of money! In such a cold weather, she was wearing a red off-the-shoulder skirt and went to the Chrysanthemum Pavilion to play the piano. On the way, I was hooked up and left."

Empress Yao frowned and said, "A grand master's daughter would actually do this? It really opened my eyes. I don't know if Grand Master Pang would be angry if he knew that his granddaughter did this. "Empress Yao said with a slight smile on her face.

"Aunt Chun, please go to the Zhengyang Hall to invite the emperor. I have important matters to discuss with the emperor." Empress Yao curled her lips, her eyes full of playfulness.

When Aunt Chun arrived at Zhengyang Palace, she invited Li Huang. Li Huang looked at the gentle and tender queen, smiled softly, took the queen's hand and walked to the side of the couch, sat with Queen Yao, and asked with a smile: "What's Zitong, please come to discuss with me?"

"Your Majesty, this year is approaching, and there will be many things. You love your wife, and you have to be sensible. These things can't be left to the two concubines and sisters. So think about your wife, and you don't have to ask for peace. The rules should be wiped out. As a wife and a queen, you don’t need to greet the concubines, you just talk to the sisters, so why avoid greetings? Besides, the same sentence, the new year is approaching, and there are many things in the palace that should be busy Wake up. Sister Yue’s foot restraint order is exempted for his wife. It’s not a problem for an imperial concubine to be grounded during the New Year. And sister Yue is still pregnant, in case those servants neglect her But what should I do?"

Hearing that Empress Yao took the initiative to waive the imperial concubine Yue's confinement order, Li Huang stroked Empress Yao's hair with satisfaction, and said with a playful smile, "Zi Tong really understands my thoughts. I am very happy."

"Your Majesty is the husband of your wife, so naturally I will help you to share your worries. I am just thinking for my wife, should I welcome the Queen Mother back? This is not the way to ask the old man to celebrate the New Year in the temple." Empress Yao said with a smile , Seeing Li Huang's expression not unhappy, he continued: "Your Majesty, there are some things that my wife doesn't know whether I should say or not."

"Zitong is right. I will send people to the temple to bring the queen mother back. As for your words, it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty, the title of Concubine Lian's younger sister is somewhat...there is a concubine with the title of Lian? And the nobleman of Yuxiu Palace has the same title."

"The pronunciation is different, it's okay. Zitong, do you really want to accept the greetings from the harem? It's very tiring." Li Huang frowned slightly, with a smile on his face, and said softly.

"It doesn't matter to the emperor, how can you be so delicate as a wife? But sister Meng Gui and sister Yue shouldn't come and work together, they are both healthy, so they can't work too hard." Empress Yao looked at Li very gently. Huang, with a very bright smile on his face.

Li Huang touched Empress Yao's tender face, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said with admiration: "Zi Tong is right, Yue'er is not in good health, she is pregnant with a child and needs to take a good rest. She will pay homage to her in a few days. The ancestors, you have a body, and you have to lead them to worship, it is really hard, how can I be willing?"

"Don't work hard for your wife, this is your responsibility as a wife. By the way, the emperor heard that Concubine Yi's younger sister is ill. I don't know if she is better." Empress Yao looked at Li Huang with a smile on her face. , the conversation changed to discuss Shao Yunyan with Li Huang.

After listening to Empress Yao's words, Li Huang's complexion sank slightly, and he frowned and said: "There is still no improvement, and the imperial physician also reported that he needs to rest."

"Your Majesty is very worried about Concubine Yi! Don't worry, Concubine Yi is still young, so there should be nothing wrong." Empress Yao comforted Li Huang with a smile on her face.

Li Huang nodded lightly, frowned, looked at Empress Yao's side face, and suddenly said with a smile: "Zi Tong doesn't seem to be wearing makeup today? Why is he dressed so plainly?"

Empress Yao laughed, and gently snuggled into Emperor Li's arms, and said with a gentle smile: "I am a wife in my own palace, and I really don't want to put on the queen's airs at all times, and that phoenix robe really makes me feel hard. The emperor will not blame his wife because of this, and think that being a wife is not dignified?" Although Empress Yao smiled, she was very sad in her heart. Li Huang had talked to her for so long before he noticed her. feeling sad.

"How could it be? Empress, take a good rest. I will go to see Yue'er first, and then to Concubine Yi. You can rest." Li Huang stroked the empress's chin, raised her chin to her cherry lips, and touched the water With a kiss like that, he left Fengyang Palace.

Empress Yao looked at the back of Li Huang leaving, and smiled gently.After the figure disappeared, Queen Yao was so angry that she knocked back the teacup in her hand.Sure enough, the Emperor went to see Concubine Yue first after she said that she would lift the confinement order of Concubine Yue, and Empress Yao was in a daze with anger.Sure enough, with Concubine Yue here, the women in the harem would pale in comparison.

Empress Yao suddenly smiled. When the Empress Dowager returns, I will see you, Concubine Yue, and see how long you can be so rampant...

Regardless of what Li Huang and Concubine Yue said, anyway, when Li Huang came to Yuxiu Palace, Shao Yunyan was lying on the couch, quietly reading her book.It is still the "Yan Country Travel Notes".Due to illness, her body has lost a lot of weight.Clothes that were originally well-fitting felt a bit empty.Seeing such a beautiful woman, Li Huang couldn't help feeling sorry for her.Seeing her serious eyes, she walked a few steps quickly, took away the book in her hand, and said with a soft smile, "Why did you run out to read before your body recovered? You don't want to add more clothes."

"Your Majesty, are you here? I have met the Emperor in person." Shao Yunyan looked up and saw Li Huang smiling at her, and hurriedly got up to salute, but Li Huang stopped her from getting up.

"You don't need to salute, let's avoid it." Li Huang smiled lightly, then looked at Shao Yunyan and said with a smile: "Why is my concubine so serious about reading a book? I want you to see what it is." Li Huang looked at it. Starting the "Yan Country Travel Notes" in his hand, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why is my concubine so interested in Yan Country?"

"I have nothing to do, so I have been reading this book. It's just that I have been reading this book since I entered the palace, and I haven't finished it until now. It's just that I think this book is really interesting, so I haven't lost it." Shao Yunyan He smiled softly, blinked his eyes and looked at Li Huang and said.

Li Guo and Yan Guo have always been friendly and coexisted, not only doing business, but also often marrying relatives.In the generation of the former emperor Xianzong, the relationship with Yan Guo became closer.When Emperor Mingzong Liu Ziye was still the prince, he loved to travel around, and he became a friend of Baili Jingning, the then Emperor Yan Ming.Emperor Ming saw that Liu Ziye was handsome, with the air of a dragon between his brows, and he was very good-natured, so he was trustworthy.That is, he sent his daughter to Dali and became the princess.After Mingzong came to the throne, he tried his best to reject all opinions and made Emperor Yanming's youngest daughter his queen.Princess Jingyuan did not conceive a prince, only a princess.Because of Mingzong's love, he gave Yang Guifei's third prince to Empress Baili to raise him, and after Yang Guifei died of illness, the third prince became the prince.And that third prince is the current Emperor Li.

Although Emperor Li didn't have a deep impression of his biological mother, he still had a fondness for Yan Guo in his relationship with Queen Baili as his adoptive mother.Seeing Shao Yunyan smile slightly, her favorability increased a bit, and she held Shao Yunyan's hand and said, "Does Concubine Ai really like Yan Guo's style?"

"The concubine has never been to the country of Yan, but reading what is said in this book, the country of Yan is really interesting. It actually says that the country of Yan has a queen." Shao Yunyan does have a love for the country of Yan. Li Huang coexisted, but the customs of Yan State were relatively open.Because there used to be Emperor Shu, Her Majesty the Empress at that time, who greatly opened up the folk customs, which Shao Yunyan really envied.

Li Huang tapped her head with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Aifei, do you like the freedom of women there? Do you envy the three legendary women in this book?"

"That's natural. I don't know if the people of later generations can also write the biographies of the concubine." Shao Yunyan said with a twinkle of envy in her eyes, blinking her eyes.

"If my concubine is envious and wants to learn, she should also learn from that Lin Guoer." Li Huang hugged Shao Yunyan, hugged her in his arms, and said with a light smile.

Shao Yunyan rolled her eyes and said, "From my perspective, the emperor is a queen who sells melons and sells melons to boast. However, I still think Su Weilei is better, and that Su Weilei is a role model for women."

Li Huang frowned lightly, pinched Shao Yunyan's nose, and said slightly reprimanded: "Aifei really dares to say anything. Next time, remember not to talk nonsense! Aifei knows who wrote this book?"

"According to legend, it was written by a well-known talent in Yan State, surnamed Li."

Li Huang laughed and said: "That's true. But my concubine knows, who is this talented man surnamed Li?"

"How does this concubine know, the emperor should tell this concubine." Shao Yunyan blinked at Li Huang and said with a smile.

Li Huang frowned and said with a smile: "I remember my father told me that he met the creator of this book when he was traveling in Yan country. At that time, he was not famous. It's just that the talented father The mother is Li Ziqian and Su Weilei, the wits in the book. In this way, this book is not to be trusted. Compared with the story of parents written by a son, it will be more or less beautified."

"Hearing what you said, my majesty, I think this book is boring. By the way, my majesty, because I was ill, I didn't go to send congratulations to Concubine Lian. If the emperor hadn't come, I still couldn't think about it." Get up." Shao Yunyan suddenly looked at Li Huang in annoyance, with a flash of self-blame on her face.

"I don't think it's necessary. Yan'er is also a concubine, why do you need to give her a gift? No need." Li Huang hugged the soft Shao Yunyan with a smile on his face.

Shao Yunyan took Li Huang's hand and said with a smile: "This is not good, she is older than me, how can a younger sister not give some congratulatory gifts?"

"If I say no, I don't need it. Then you won't be able to give her a congratulatory gift. On the contrary, you still have to salute to you. You are one of the six concubines. No matter how old she is than you. Don't break the rules." Li Huang held Shao Yunyan's tender hand, kissed her cheek and said.

"Your Majesty, my concubine entered the palace with Sister Concubine Lian. The two of us have some friendship in private. I still feel that I still need to give gifts, so I can't break the friendship. Why bother with the relationship between sisters?" Say?" Shao Yunyan held Li Huang's hand and said, with a slight pleading in her eyes.

Seeing Shao Yunyan's appearance, Li Huang couldn't help frowning slightly.This silly girl actually still thinks about sisterhood.Li Huang sighed softly, glanced at Shao Yunyan and said, "I don't have to go if I say I don't have to go. My concubine rests first, and I leave first."

"The concubine sends the emperor off respectfully." Shao Yunyan got off the couch, and bowed gracefully to Li Huang who was walking away.

Shao Yunyan sent Empress Li away, and no longer wanted to read.It's really not a good thing that Li Huang proposed to seal her position.The concubine Yue's foot restraint has been lifted, and the queen mother is coming back.If the Queen Mother comes back, she... will have a powerful helper.Concubine Lian... take advantage of the opportunity.
