The Imperial Concubine's Bedroom

A beautiful woman sat lazily on the chaise longue, with delicate makeup on her face, which made her originally beautiful appearance suddenly become bright and generous.

She was the Imperial Concubine, the former successor of Prince Yuan, Ren Yan. When Ren Yan married Prince Yuan as a successor, she was happy, and it was hard to imagine that such a good thing would fall on her head. When she was young, who would like handsome and romantic men? Among the handsome men in the capital at that time, Prince Yuan was one of the best, not to mention that he was the emperor's most beloved son.

Ren Yan married Prince Yuan, so her family background was naturally good. Her grandfather was Marquis Ren Wei, and the title was handed down from generation to generation. First, Marquis Ren Wei had the merit of following the dragon. In her maternal family, her grandfather was the Minister of Rites, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites. Although the Minister of Rites was powerful, his status was there.

The late emperor felt guilty towards Prince Yuan, so he had spent a lot of time choosing a concubine for him. Ren Yan had a good family background, but in the capital city where there were many beautiful women, her appearance was outstanding. Beautiful women from small families were easy to find in the capital city. So Ren Yan never thought that she would marry Prince Yuan.

Although she was a concubine, Prince Yuan's original wife did not leave any children, so what was the difference between a concubine and an original wife?

Later, when Prince Yuan succeeded to the throne, everyone thought she was the queen on the iron plate, but unexpectedly, the emperor made the original wife the queen, and she was the imperial concubine.

Even though she had the highest status in the harem, what was the difference? A concubine was a concubine. And her son, the seven-year-old eldest prince, went from being the eldest son in the palace to being the eldest son of a concubine in the palace. It was really ridiculous.

Even if the emperor made his original wife the queen, she should be the successor, right? But what is the truth?

After discussing with her family, the imperial concubine felt that the emperor was worried that their foreign relatives were too powerful, so he did not make her the queen. In this regard, the family meant that she should be patient. The emperor came to power by seizing the throne, and his character was not soft and sticky. If he was forced to do something, he would not get any advantage.

Therefore, the imperial concubine listened to the opinions of her family and became a virtuous person in the palace.

But even so, the imperial concubine was happy in her heart. She went from being a wife to a concubine, and her son went from being the eldest son to the eldest son of a concubine. Who did they offend?

Today, Du Ke entered the palace twice and has not left the palace until now. The emperor also invited Du Ke to eat in the palace. Half of the people in the capital are listening to this. Being in the capital, you have to pay attention to every move in the palace. The imperial concubine is listening. She is relieved about the Du family because there are no women in the Du family in the harem, and Du Ke is the emperor's consort. The emperor is still young, so Du Ke will rely on which prince and stand on which prince.

Imperial Concubine: "How is it? Have you heard the news?"

The maid said softly: "Although I didn't hear why Du Daru entered the palace, after Du Daru entered the palace for the second time, the emperor summoned Doctor Qiu, and they stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour before coming out. After Doctor Qiu came out, he brought two basins of water back to the Imperial Hospital."

The Imperial Concubine heard this and only frowned: "Bringing two basins of water? Why did he carry two basins of water to the Imperial Hospital? Did he bring them out from the Imperial Study?"

Maid: "Yes , the two basins of water were prepared by the eunuchs before the imperial doctor Qiu entered the imperial study. Few people in the palace saw it. But no one saw what they did in the imperial study. It is said that there were only the emperor, Du Da, imperial doctor Qiu, and the chief steward in the imperial study at that time. "

The imperial concubine snorted: "What can you ask from these people? Ask them now." "The chief steward Du Ke is a popular figure around the emperor. Who would have the guts to ask them what they did in the imperial study? As for imperial doctor Qiu, don't ask. What if imperial doctor Qiu accuses you of secretly spying on the emperor's health? That would be bad. Whether the emperor's health is healthy or not, it was revealed by the imperial doctor, not by others.

Thinking of this, the imperial concubine asked: "Is there any difference between the two basins of water before and after they were brought in?"

Maid: "I asked, the water was clean and clear when it was brought in. The water was also clean and clear when it was brought out. The only difference is that the water was a little cold."

"A little cold?" The imperial concubine wanted to figure out what this meant. "Go and listen to the news."

Maid: "Yes."

At the same time, Du Ke, who was eating with the emperor, had a good appetite. Was it comfortable to eat with the emperor? For Du Ke, that was not a problem. First of all, he was really hungry. Secondly, the food made by the imperial chef was really delicious. Finally, being too cautious in front of the emperor was good. Sometimes, the emperor likes to see your true nature.

So, when Du Ke was eating with the emperor, he was always true to his nature.

The emperor watched Du Ke eat with big mouthfuls, and couldn't help saying, "Every time I see you eating, my appetite improves." In private, the emperor was quite approachable to Du Ke.

Du Ke said, "Because the imperial chef's cooking is delicious, I can't wait to have a taste of it, so I naturally don't want to let you down."

The emperor smiled and said, "Then you eat more and talk to me. Madam Qin first came up with the idea of ​​land for the military camps, which solved the food problem for the soldiers, and now she has come up with the idea of ​​making ice with saltpeter. With the previous reward, I'm afraid it's all right."

Du Ke: "All the land in the world belongs to the king. Although Mrs. Qin has made contributions, as a citizen of Qi, it is only natural for her to share the emperor's worries. The emperor's reward to her is a great blessing. How dare she complain about the small reward."

The emperor shook his head: "Du Ke, as the king of a country, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Her contribution is small, so she should be rewarded. You say, for her two contributions, just rewarding silver, it seems that I am too stingy, right?"

Du Ke hurriedly said: "She dares not." Although Du Ke did not know the emperor's thoughts, he knew that he was not asking for the reward for Mrs. Qin.

The emperor did not continue to say, in fact, he already had an idea of ​​what to reward.

Dori Village

The most impressive thing in Dongli Village now is the house of the Qin family's big room. Especially on this three-acre sloping land, there is only one yard. Who would pass by and look at it more?

The house was built a long time ago, but it has been empty and unoccupied. But Qin's mother would go to open the door every month, sweep the dust, and ventilate the house. Even if her son and daughter-in-law didn't come back to live, Qin's mother was happy to see such a house.

Last year, when the daughter-in-law left, she gave them one or two silver coins and entrusted them to help build the house. The blue brick house was built and the yard was paved with blue bricks, but there was still more silver, so Qin used the extra silver to buy land. The land was in the name of the daughter-in-law. After a look, it was their eldest son who was farming.

The eldest son is taken care of by Qin Fang and his mother. The third son and his little girl are with the eldest son, so they are taken care of by them. The eldest daughter is married, so they are most concerned about the second son.

Qin Shouye is sixteen years old this year, and he is at the age of marriage. In addition, because Qin Fang is promising and his family has built such a big house, there are not many people who want to marry Qin Shouye.

However, among these marriage proposals, the one who always pesters Qin Fang is Han's stepmother.

When Stepmother Han came back from the border, she was scared. She didn't expect that Han Zhen, the little bastard, was so difficult to deal with now. However, she met Qin Fang's wife in the family room at the border and found that she had a servant around her. In addition, Qin Fang's house was built with his daughter-in-law's dowry, so she guessed that Qin Fang's wife's dowry must be small.

If the eldest brother and sister-in-law have money, will they take care of their younger brothers and sisters? She happened to have a niece, and she happened to propose marriage to Qin Fang's second brother Qin Shouye, so Stepmother Han was particularly active in this matter.

"Tie Niu's... Tie Niu's..." Stepmother Han passed by Qin Fang's house and saw that the door of the big house was open. She stood at the door and looked inside.

Mother Qin was sweeping the house. When she heard the voice of stepmother Han, she came out: "Old Han, what's the matter?"

Stepmother Han smiled flatteringly, her voice was quite enthusiastic: "Tie Niu, how are Shouye's marriages being considered? There are many people who like my niece, from all over the country, who praises her?"

Mother Qin knew stepmother Han's personality. Don't say whether her niece is really that good. Even if it is true, she dare not ask for her because of a relative like her. However, for the sake of face, mother Qin was still polite: "Our eldest daughter-in-law said that Shouye is still young, and she will take a look first to see if there is a suitable girl, so Shouye's marriage is urgent."

Mother Qin's excuse was of course an excuse, but the excuse was very useful. The family conditions have improved, and although she is worried about her son's marriage, she is not anxious. The eldest son and his wife are around, so she wants to find an honest wife for the second son. If she is honest and compares with the eldest son's wife, like the second son's sister-in-law, she dares to accept her.

Han's stepmother said: "Let Qin Fang's wife choose? Then the girls she chooses are all from her side. Qin Fang's wife is not around to be filial to you. If she chooses someone from that side, and she is not around, who can you ask to be filial to you?"

Qin's mother said with concern: "My son and daughter-in-law have good backgrounds, I am so happy. Besides, we are in good health, why do we need them to be filial to us?"

Han's stepmother: "That's right..."

"Aunt...Aunt...There are guests at home, grandma asked you to go home quickly." Niu Dan's bright voice sounded outside.

When Qin's mother heard this, she asked, "What kind of guest is this?"

Niu Dan said, "I know. He came on horseback and said that my eldest brother sent him to come. He also brought a lot of things."

When Qin's mother heard that it was sent by her eldest son, she closed the door and happily returned to the old house. Speaking of which, the last letter was received at the end of last year, and the eldest son's wife also brought New Year's goods. This year's letter has not been received yet, so Qin's mother is very anxious.
