The Job of an Imperial Concubine

When Zhuang Luoyan woke up the next morning, the emperor was already neatly dressed. Seeing her waking up, the emperor took care of the silver rat cloak on her body, "It's snowing outside, don't go out today."

"It's snowing?" Zhuang Luoyan stretched his head and found that the windows were tightly closed, but the room was warm, so he said, "The emperor rests up, and the concubine will be careful."

Feng Jin nodded and went out of the Xihe Palace. The waiting Gao Dezhong greeted him and whispered: "The emperor, the person from Caitianchang just came to the newspaper, saying that Qian Wanyi was sick and wanted to see the emperor."

"Sick to call someone to be a doctor, I'm busy with government affairs, and I'm not going for the time being," Feng Jin went to Yulu with a blank expression, and even had no reward for Changtianlou.Gao Dezhong heard the word and hurriedly dropped his head. He knew in his heart that this Qian Wanyi was useless. It could be seen that a woman with a beautiful face was useless.Look at the Zhao concubine, even if you are pregnant, you can lead the emperor to the Xihe Palace, which is called means.

Looking back at Xihe Palace, the little eunuch in it had already started to clean the snow, but it looked like he was busy in Xihe Palace.

In Changtian Tower, Qian Wanyi swallowed the medicine in her mouth bitterly and looked at the eunuch who hurried in: "Is the emperor coming?"

"Going back to the master, the grandfather said that the emperor's government affairs have been busy recently, and I am afraid that he can't come over," the eunuch, who had passed the words carefully, then buried his head.

"Busy government affairs?" Qian Wanyi smiled wryly, and laughed at herself, "The emperor can go to Xihe Palace every day. My Chang Tianlou, next to Xihe Palace, asked him to come and he was busy with his government affairs."

The people waiting in the room listened to this resentful word and knelt down in fear. The people who said it should not say it, and they should not listen.

"What are you doing so scared each one?" Qian Wanyi looked at the few people who were kneeling on the ground, sneered and tried to say, "Get up, this is not Xihegong, not so many people are staring. "

"Master, the queen sent you a tonic," a maiden stood outside the curtain and whispered, "the queen's mother said, let you have a good rest."

Qian Wanyi looked at the blurry figure of the maiden outside the curtain, and the expression on her face became more and more indifferent: "Appreciate that person." What a little tonic is, it is rare that she is such a rare thing.Now Zhuangluo roams around the palace, and even Concubine Shu avoids her edge. The queen rewards her with such a thing, but it's because of that good-looking skin.

The house eunuchs in the room shivered inexplicably when they heard the master's sudden chill.

As soon as winter entered the capital, the snow began to fall intermittently.Sometimes it snowed heavily at night, and the next day was a sunny day. The sun looked dazzling, but it didn't make people feel so warm.

Zhuang Luoyan stood at the door, watching the sun shine on the white snow, exhaling a sigh of heat, and then said to Yun Xi behind him: "I heard that Qian Wanyi was ill a few days ago, so let me enjoy something. "

"Nie Niang, rest assured that Fubao has already let people do it," Yun Xi supported Zhuang Luoyan. "The slave-servant heard that Qian Wanyi had met the emperor a few days ago, but the emperor refused. The slave-servant feared that she would complain to you. ."

"The women in the harem complained about my lack of it?" Zhuang Luoyan smiled and handed the hot-spotted Tang Pozi to the nearby listening bamboo for a new one. "They can only prove that the emperor valued the book. Palace, the woman in this harem who has never been jealous is the real sad person."

"This palace is not afraid of her complaining, but she is afraid of not complaining," Zhuangluo narrowed her eyes in the direction of Changtianlou. "When people have grievances, they will do stupid things, and women who do stupid things will not be able to bear the harem. "

Yun Xi and Ting Zhu heard this, some understood, and some did not understand.But they quickly stopped thinking about this issue because they found that in the snow, Ming Huang's emperor guard of honor was approaching Xihegong.

They seem to understand the words of the master. In this harem, nothing is more important than the pet. The emperor can put the master in his heart, then other women are useless, the emperor is the real master of the harem, he wants Really protect a person, no one else can start.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the annual Laba Festival. The emperor took people to worship the gods and ancestors of heaven, and held a banquet in the palace. Both high-level palace concubines and royals can participate in this banquet.The royal family and officials valued by the emperor had already received the Laba porridge rewarded by the emperor before noon. Those attending the banquet at this time were considered to be the face of the court.

There are many rules at the banquet, so Zhuang Luoyan won the franchise without having to participate in those rules, and only appeared on the concubine seat when the seat was opened.

Laba porridge is very sticky, but you can smell the sweet fragrance in the bowl when you sit down. The grandma serving next to her tasted it with a spoon first. After a while, Zhuang Luoru picked up the spoon and used the porridge.Because there is a small heating stove under the tray for bowls, the porridge is still hot, but Zhuangluo roasts a little bit tasteless.

After having a baby, she prefers hot and sour things, because she is afraid of the fetus in her abdomen, and she will eat a small bowl of goose egg pearl soup every day, but these tastes are to her liking, which is better than this greasy big pot porridge.

I moved a few spoons meaningfully, and there wasn't much left in the small bowl of porridge. It seems that the person who arranged the banquet had inquired clearly about her taste. I'm afraid this porridge is also the meaning.

Putting down the white porcelain spoon, Zhuang Luoyan took a gargle with the tea from Zhu Cheng, tried to clean the corners of his mouth, and leaned on the back of the chair to wait for the banquet.

"But it doesn't suit your mother's appetite?" Jiang Xianpeng, who was sitting next to her, saw Zhuang Luo'ro look like this, lowering her voice and worried, "Why not let you present a plate of plums to suppress your stomach."

"It's okay, don't worry about it," Zhuang Luoru smiled at Jiang Xianpeng. "It's just that he doesn't like sticky stuff very much, and waits until the palace to let the kitchen people do something more."

Jiang Xianbi also knew that this was at a banquet, so it was not easy to be swaggered, so he nodded and said: "It's also good, if the empress is uncomfortable, she will leave the emperor earlier and will not have any complaints, be careful of yourself." Now Jiang Xianbi was already standing behind Zhuang Luoyan, naturally she didn't want Zhuang Luoyan to have anything to do with the child in her womb.

"I've used some things before I came, but I'm not hungry at this moment," Zhuang Luoru glanced at the two empresses sitting at the top. "It's snowing today. I'm sure the emperor won't stay everyone for too long."

After she had finished speaking, she looked down the opposite side, where the wife of the banker was sitting. Although she could not clearly see the expression of the banker's wife, she could feel Mrs. Zhuang looking in this direction from time to time.It is a pity that the original owner of the body has burned away the jade, and the heart of this loving mother has been abolished.

At the end of the banquet, Feng Jin, who was sitting on the head, stood up and looked at the various officials below. Shen said: "It's not early, everyone, come back."

Gao Dezhong, who stood in the back, went further and heard the words, "Kneel!"

Suddenly the officials at the banquet all knelt down, and the whole hall was quiet without a sound. Zhuangluo roared from the knees of the emperor standing next to him, feeling with emotion that this was the power of the imperial power.

"knock!"

"Knock again!"

"Get up!"

"Long live my long live long live long live!"

The courtiers kneeled down and sent the emperor's concubines away before standing up and walking slowly.

Mrs. Zhuang held her daughter-in-law's hand, and looked at the direction of the harem with some dismay before getting on the carriage, "I don't know how she is living in the harem with Empress Zhao now?" When Zhuang Wanmei entered the palace, the slut became rampant. A few days, these two people are now dead, but her daughter is trapped in the quagmire of the harem.

"Mothers don't need to worry. The daughter-in-law went to the Guangning Bo Mansion a few days ago to attend the banquet. The women present here are very kind to the daughter-in-law. This is because of the honor of the concubine Zhao, which gives the daughter-in-law a little thin face." After the carriage, he also accompanied the carriage and drew the curtain for the old lady so that she could see the direction of the harem. "Now the mother is pregnant and loved by the emperor. The mother should be assured."

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. I don't know what it will do tomorrow. The hearts of the harem are complex, and the nature of the mother is simple. I was afraid of the emperor's neglect for a while. I was afraid..." With a sigh of relief, "Let's put the curtain down. The more I see it, the more uncomfortable I feel. As long as the lady is safe, I will ask for nothing."

The daughter-in-law of the Zhuang family put down the curtain, and comforted her mother-in-law.When she entered the door, the sister-in-law had already entered the palace, and she heard her temper was not soft.After the news that she was neglected by the emperor, the people of the whole government were terrified, and an aunt of the father-in-law was still gloating.Later, the little sister-in-law regained her favor, and the aunt died, and the house really calmed down.

She understands her mother-in-law's concerns. Although the sister-in-law is now in the position of concubine and has a dragon in her belly, her companion is like a tiger. If she falls out of favor, she will be dead.

The group returned to the Zhuang Mansion and received the emperor's reward early the next morning.

Although there are not many rewards, it was the emperor's close eunuch who came to declare the purpose, and the people of Xihe Palace accompanied the declaration. After the dealer received the purpose, he smiled and kept the people to eat tea and stuffed bags.

Fubao looked at Master Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang who accompanied him personally and said politely: "Master Zhuang does not have to be polite. Before the slave came, the lady told the slave to tell him that everything was fine. The lady and his wife didn't have to worry. Please both of you. take care."

Mrs. Zhuang wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, "Thank you for your mother-in-law's thoughts, and please ask my father-in-law to send us our greetings. As long as the mother-in-law is good, we will be satisfied."

Fu Bao saw Madame Zhuang's eyes were red, and comforted a few words.The eunuch, who was sitting next to him, was a disciple of Gao Dezhong. He smiled all the time, but he did not see any arrogance. He stood up and said: "I heard that there is a plum blossom in the garden of Master Zhuang. It's about giving a few people a chance to speak in private.

Master Zhuang was busy making Young Master Zhuang accompany himself, leading the person to the garden, and stuffed a very important purse.

The dealers were very disciplined and did not ask Fubao what they shouldn't ask, but only asked Zhuang Luoyan how she lives on weekdays, whether anyone in the palace is embarrassed, and whether the fetus in her belly is healthy.

Fu Bao answered one by one, and added: "Last night, the emperor stayed at the mother-in-law. He said that the mother-in-law had never seen her parents for a long time, and said that it is not easy for you to raise the mother-in-law. The minion followed, this is the grace of the emperor."

Mrs. Zhuang stuffed a stack of silver tickets to Fubao: "The emperor valued the lady, it was a blessing for the lady. Self." Although she knew that her daughter lacked nothing, she always wanted to give her something more, so she was at ease.

Fubao couldn't, so he had to pick it up.After talking for a while, Fubao got up and said, "Adult, ma'am, and the minions should go back to the palace. It's been a long time and it's always bad."

Master Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang had to personally send a group of people out of the house, watching the carriage that went away, Mrs. Zhuang's tears shed again.
