Rebirth of the legitimate daughter: the daily life of His Majesty the Emperor’s beloved concubine

Gu Yu'an received the signal, nodded slightly, took a step forward and stood in front of the hall, and said loudly: "Master Zhou, the cabinet bachelor, just redeemed the life of Miss Qing'er of Lianxiang Tower ten days ago. Miss Qing'er is the top card of Lianxiang Tower, a pair of A thousand pillows with jade arms, a little red lips worth a thousand people, Mr. Zhou tasted it and put it in his arms. A few days ago, it was quietly brought into the house through a side door. It is said that Miss Qing'er is only sixteen this year."

Shen Yanzhu raised his lips, and his still smiling eyes fell on the cabinet bachelor who just now showed a noble character, loyal and patriotic attitude, "Master Zhou, I remember that you are past the age of fame, right?"

"This, this..." The cabinet bachelor who had made an impassioned speech just now had a red face. He was full of poems and books but had no way to defend himself, so he could only kowtow deeply in a dizzy manner.

"Master Li of Taipu Temple," Gu Yu'an's eyes shifted and he took two steps. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he could easily see beads of sweat on his forehead. "A year ago, he married another wife. It is said that she is Mr. Li's childhood sweetheart, her husband died a year and a half ago, and she still had a son and a daughter. Her husband died and she was remarried only half a year ago. Wei Chen accidentally learned that his stepson and stepdaughter's behavior had already surpassed that of his direct descendants. above."

"Oh?" Shen Yanzhu raised the corner of his eye, "Don't you think Mr. Li is still a love interest? Not bad, not bad!"

I don't know who it was, chuckled lightly, Taipusiqing finally couldn't hold it any longer and knelt down, "Wei Chen, Wei Chen..." For a long time, he couldn't form a complete sentence.

"Master He, the envoy of Yunhui, is said to have kept several outhouses. They were either from the Qin Tower or the Chu Pavilion, or were gifts from others. They are all very charming. A few days ago, he secretly used a carriage to transport a box full of silver and several women. After being sent to the house, I dare to ask, is there anything like this?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has a clear conscience, and I am a humble minister..." Yunhui knelt down, trembling all over. He looked at Gu Yuan's ice-like eyes and did not dare to speak.

He was aware of Jin Yiwei's methods, and would not speak out in court without conclusive evidence.

"Bold!" Shen Yan patted the dragon case and stood up suddenly, "Is what Aiqing said true?"

"Your Majesty." Gu Yu'an bowed deeply, "What I said is true. As long as your Majesty speaks, we can enter the mansion and seize the stolen silver."

"Come here, drag Envoy Yunhui down! Hand it over to the Jinyi Guards for verification!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Before Yunhui could defend himself, he wailed and was dragged down.

"Master Zhang, the Minister of Rites, do you still like the new batch of dancers who have entered the mansion? And..." Gu Yu'an continued.

However, the Minister of Rites knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the daughter-in-law of the Su family is both talented and virtuous, gentle, kind and chaste. She is truly one of a hundred, oh no, a good woman of a million. If this girl is chosen to serve in the palace, she will be Miss Su's." This blessing can also relieve the emperor's worries, which is really a blessing for the ministers."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone who had been objecting to it all fell down and said: "I second my opinion."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

When Shen Yanzhuo looked at these "loyal ministers and good generals", he immediately changed his tune, raised his eyes lightly, and said with a half-serious smile: "Is Suning'an really that good?"

The court was silent, no one agreed or objected.

"But what you said just now is not unreasonable. I should think about it carefully." Shen Yanzhui lowered his eyes for a moment, glanced at the courtiers listed below casually, and said with a chuckle: "If it's for a If a woman causes discord between the king and his ministers, it is really not the fault of a wise king. Everyone, do you think so or not?"

As the words fell, the hearts of everyone in the hall trembled. Su Chengqian, who was standing among the civil servants, had already soaked his court clothes with sweat.

I thought that the matters in the court that day would be settled soon after Su Ning'an entered the palace.

Unexpectedly, what was originally thought to be an imperial edict has not yet arrived at the Su Mansion. Instead, within a few days, several courtiers were imprisoned.

Either they accepted bribes to solve false pending cases, or they were supported by nepotism, or they were shielding and forming cliques for personal gain. Most of them were old ministers from the previous emperor's period, and some were veterans of the three dynasties.

However, within five days, some were taken away directly by the Jin Yiwei, some had their homes confiscated and were exiled, and some returned to their hometowns with dignity preserved.

For a time, people were in panic. Not only the courtiers, but also the female relatives at home rarely walked around.

······

"emperor."

Shen Yanzhu glanced at Gu Yu'an and said, "Sit down." He signaled An Li to pour a glass of wine and put it in front of Gu Yu'an, "Has everything been taken care of?"

"Yes. Those ministers relied on serving the late emperor and relied on their old age. It would be really inconvenient for Your Majesty to take action rashly. Now it is just right to use Miss Su's name." Gu Yu'an held the wine glass with both hands, saluted and drank it down. .

An Li served the emperor and Gu Yu'an with wine again with a wink, and then heard Gu Yu'an say: "Fortunately, because of Miss Su's situation, the emperor can completely clean up the court, but he has to aggrieve the girl."

Shen Yanzhui glanced at him, took two steps back after saluting, and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Aggrieved?" Ana Shen picked up the wine glass, put it under his nose and sniffed lightly, "As a member of the Heavenly Family, what's wrong with suffering some grievances?"

What's more, she is really not unjust. If it were not for her, she could actually keep those people around for a while. If she has a handle, she will not take credit and be arrogant, and she will be more obedient.

However, it is not impossible to be a "faint king" who is so angry that he becomes a beauty for her.

"How are the rumors among the people?"

"It has calmed down a lot now. There are only a few people who have spread it through word of mouth. The family members who usually move around frequently have been in the house these days, so there are naturally fewer rumors about Miss Su's infidelity."

"Just start taking care of the rest."

Shen Yanzui glanced at the imperial garden indifferently. It is good to have hundreds of flowers blooming, but if there are too many flowers, they will compete for soil nutrients, and those that should be pruned should be pruned.

The former dynasty and the harem have always been intertwined. If the former dynasty is unstable, the harem is also unstable.

Yesterday, when I was paying my respects to the Queen, some of the concubines were disrespectful, so the Queen punished her with a grounding.

A few days later, another Baolin offended Concubine Lan. Although Concubine Lan was not favored, she was still an old member of the mansion. Although she was a bit cowardly, she still had some affection in the eyes of the emperor.

Therefore, this Baolin was demoted to the title of imperial concubine before she went to bed, and she has no chance to see the rain and dew since then.

After several punishments, the harem was finally at peace.

This matter had no impact on the concubines in high positions, but it made those in lower positions even more cautious.

Anyone who has any thoughts in the harem will know that it is not the queen who regulates the harem. It is actually the emperor who takes action, just with the help of the queen.

But, have you ever seen an emperor worry so much about a woman?

Therefore, the harem's desire not to let Suning'an enter the palace became stronger, but at the cusp of the storm, no one dared to take action.

Just as one wave of rumors subsided, another wave began.

Suddenly a rumor spread in Chang'an City that when the emperor was still a prince, he once met a girl and fell in love with her for a night but disappeared without a trace.

After searching hard till now, it turned out that she was the legitimate daughter of the Su family who was not favored and was sent to Zhuangzi early.

This kind of romantic affair is easily beautified once word spreads, not to mention that it involves the royal family. Within a day or two, it is said to be as beautiful and romantic as the love story in the storybook.

Who is not curious, who is not curious?

Isn't it just right that good people come together in time?

Immediately, it was spread that the talented man in the palace had used his face that was somewhat similar to his sister's to gain the upper hand over his sister. The Su family even favored the concubine and kept it hidden in order to gain favor.

Just before the draft, the emperor issued an imperial edict to promote Su Chengqian's official position and specially ordered the daughters of the Su family to enter the palace for the draft.

Somehow these remarks spread from the people back to the harem, and soon spread to Chunlan Garden, which frightened Su Yuxin into a cold sweat.

Su Yuxin stayed at home all day long. She used to always look forward to the arrival of the Holy Emperor, but now she was afraid of being questioned by the Emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor seemed to have forgotten her and never summoned her. Gradually, Su Yuxin settled down.

Also, she is pregnant with a child now, and she has also served a child. Even if the matter is exposed, she can't not miss her at all, right?
