Uncertain Chang'an

The ice and snow are melting day by day, the grass is growing and the warblers are flying with spring and Jingming. The days are gradually getting warmer, and it is a good time of the year for spring.Every spring day, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in central Beijing hold banquets to entertain guests one after another, with a small banquet every other day and a large banquet every five days. After enjoying all the beautiful scenery in the middle and suburbs of Beijing, it will be summer.In the middle of March, the selection for the harem was completed. This time, officials and famous women of the right age were selected. Ten people were selected to enter the palace, including daughters of ministers in Beijing and beauties sent by local officials all the way.The harem has been peaceful for so many years, and it is the first time that so much fresh blood has been injected, but there are too many women, so it is destined to be not peaceful.

When Emperor Taiping first entered Beijing, in order to reward Lu Junde, he gave him the mansion of the former prince. The scenery of Lu Mansion is naturally extraordinary, especially the spring scenery.Two days after the selection was completed, Lu Junde held a banquet in the Lu residence. Now that he has regained His Majesty's trust, the Lu residence finally became full of people again after two years.

Most of the officials from central Beijing came, Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding came here out of curiosity, but Wang Xile had to deal with it with a smile among a bunch of people, complaining in his heart, he seldom participated in such grand events, if it wasn't for the upcoming Marrying Lu Weizhen was bestowed by Emperor Taiping, and he would lose the face of Emperor Taiping if he didn't come, so he didn't want to come.Thinking about it, Lu Junde is also average, he clearly doesn't care about Lu Weizhen at all, and because of that imperial decree, he still wants to invite the "future son-in-law" he despises.

Prince Gong was also invited to this banquet. He is of the same rank as Zhou Jinhe, but he is the elder, so he naturally sat at the head.Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuzheng are on the right, while Lu Junde, as the master, is on the left.

Lu Junde picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to Prince Gong: "My lord, this is a high-quality Fen wine. I know you like it, and I specially reserved it for you."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu has a heart." Prince Gong picked up the wine glass and sniffed it and knew that what he said was true. He was very happy, he laughed and raised his glass to him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Lu Junde had a drink with him, and it was full again. He raised his glass to Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding and said, "Your Highness, son-in-law, I am very grateful for the little girl's troubles in the princess mansion. I specially prepared fruit wine for Your Highness, and please Two taste."

Zhou Jinhe raised the wine glass and shook it slightly, the fruity aroma came to her face, she took a sip slightly, and said with a smile, "Master Lu, where did you find this good wine?"

Xiao Wuding on the side also sipped the Fen wine in the cup, nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's smooth in the mouth, sweet in the mouth, lingering after drinking, and long aftertaste, it really is a good wine."

"Haha, they were all saved in the early years, as long as you two like them." Lu Junde smiled and chatted with the rest of the people, Prince Gong. When Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding sat together at the banquet these days, there were very few outsiders Dare to bother her, Zhou Jinhe also took it easy, and teased her with a smile: "You see, others are afraid of General Xiao's cold face, so they dare not come here." At the banquet a few days ago, General Xiao rushed over after finishing his military affairs, but saw A bunch of people chattered around Her Royal Highness, she couldn't get in the conversation for half a day, she immediately became unhappy, sat by herself and drank quietly, and would ignore others when they came to talk to her, which made Zhou Jinhe feel cute and busy She retreated the crowd and sat down beside her, and talked to her for a long time with a smile before coaxing the cold-faced General Xiao to calm down again, but the rest of the people were afraid to talk non-stop with the princess now.

"Yes, Your Highness thinks that I'm in the way, so I'll just go." Xiao Wuding sighed lightly, trying to get up, causing Zhou Jinhe to laugh and curse mischievously, and pinched the soft flesh around her waist.With an innocent expression on his face, Xiao Wuding held her troubled hand around her waist, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is how the autumn fat and winter fat I put on a few months ago are used for?"

"Well, General Xiao is really smart." Zhou Jinhe nodded solemnly, then moved his eyes to the wine glass in front of Xiao Wuding, and said, "How about this Fenjiu?"

Xiao Wuding looked at her with a doting smile, parted his thin lips slightly, and gave the answer His Royal Highness wanted to hear: "Try it and you will know."

Zhou Jinhe was very satisfied with General Xiao's knowledge and interest, took a sip from her wine glass, it was really good.

"Drink less, don't get drunk."

Zhou Jinhe gave her a dissatisfied look, then Lu Junde would just serve her fruit wine, but she still said that, although she can't drink as much as her, it's not bad. "General Xiao, did you forget the time when I was drinking with you in Yizhou?"

Tsk, Her Royal Highness became angry from embarrassment.Xiao Wuding propped his head with one hand and looked at her with a smile, said: "Of course I can't forget, I am looking forward to riding back home with His Highness."

"..." This was still insinuating that she couldn't drink enough, Zhou Jinhe shot her a look, and turned to talk to others.With her status, so what if she doesn't know how to drink?Who dares to force her to drink?Only General Xiao was so bold and dared to laugh at her like this.

Prince Gong is an elegant literati, and is also known to love wine, when Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding wandered around and came back, the jar of wine behind him was already empty, his face was flushed as if he had drunk too much.

Zhou Jinhe shook his head helplessly and said: "Uncle Huang has always been like this, come here, bring a bowl of hangover soup."

"I think the prince is like this, hangover soup is not very effective, it is better to let the prince rest for a while, and then send someone to send the prince back to the mansion when he wakes up." After speaking, Lu Junde beckoned to the two servants at the side, and said: "Come on, send the prince to the guest room, and take good care of him."

"Here." The two servants agreed, and together with the servant Yiguang brought by Prince Gong, they helped him to the backyard.

"Your Majesty Lu, take good care of the emperor." Zhou Jinhe said politely, and then chatted and laughed with the rest of the people.When Prince Gong goes to a banquet and encounters good wine, he will definitely get very drunk. There are quite a few courtiers who have entertained him, and everyone is used to this.

The three helped Prince Gong to the room specially prepared for guests in the backyard. As soon as they entered the room, a slightly sweet fragrance greeted them. The three put Prince Gong on the bed and lay down. He handed the tea to Yiguang, and said: "Brother Yiguang, give the prince a small glass of water, so as not to be thirsty."

Yi Guang felt reasonable when he heard the words, took the teacup and said to those two: "Well, please help me to help the prince up."

The two worked together to help Prince Gong up, Yiguang brought him water and covered him with a brocade quilt, and the three retreated.Yi Guang wanted to wait at the door, but was dragged out by the two young men, saying: "Brother Yi Guang, the lord won't be able to wake up for a while, why don't we go have a drink with our brothers, the lord and the lord I won't blame it, why wait at the door for the cold wind to blow?"

"Yes, let's go. Although it's spring, the wind is still strong today. If you get sick, it will not be worth the loss."

"Isn't it right..." Yi Guang was dragged out by the two of them, although his heart was a little bit moved, he still felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Just find a maid to come over later, not to mention that we men are five big and three rough, and we are definitely not as careful in taking care of people as girls. Let's go, the master enjoyed a good wine. If you go late, you can go No more!"

Yi Guang was held up by the two of them, and after hearing this, his heart was tickled by the good wine, so he half pushed and half followed.

In the room, Prince Gong was lying on the bed. After a while, he felt hot all over. He kicked the quilt away, but there was no sign of waking up at all, and his sleep became deeper and deeper.

Prince Gong fell asleep until the sun was setting, the banquet was over and he hadn't come yet, Zhou Jinhe was worried, so he asked someone to go to see him, and he was relieved when he found out that he was fast asleep, and told Yiguang to look at Prince Gong, Then he got into the carriage with Xiao Wuding and went to the princess mansion.

Emperor Taiping usually enters the harem only a handful of times in a month. Later, when he found out about Musk, he knew that it was difficult for old people in the palace to conceive, so he was even less interested.It's just that there are newcomers entering the palace, and these few days are busy pampering the newcomers, so the number of times he entered the harem has increased a lot.For him, the most important thing now is to have more children.Although the women in the palace are different, generally speaking, there is nothing new. They all look like ladies of everyone, and after so many years, they are tired of seeing them.The new ladies who entered the palace were similar, they were all well-educated young ladies, for others it might be an unattainable marriage, but for Emperor Taiping, there was nothing left but boring.

Looking at the sky outside, Gu Xianghai stepped forward and said to Emperor Taiping who was still reviewing the memorial: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, which master should we go to today?"

Hearing this, Emperor Taiping finished writing the last stroke, put down the pen, looked at Gu Xianghai for a long time, and sighed: "Gu Xianghai, it's boring."

"This..." Gu Xianghai rolled his eyes, but he couldn't say who was bad in the harem, so he had to apologize.

Emperor Taiping sighed quietly, and said: "My harem is all the same, it's really boring."

"Where is it, the empress's mother is beautiful in the world, the virtuous concubine's beauty is both talented and beautiful, and the virtuous concubine's beauty crowns the harem, and the new young masters also have their own characteristics. All the best women in the world are in your harem." Gu Xianghai interrupted with a smile, trying to persuade Emperor Chengping to go to the harem, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, I really heard something interesting today."

Emperor Taiping accepted the memorial and said, "Oh? Let's hear it."

Gu Xianghai laughed and said: "Lian'er next to Princess Ji'er came to report at night, saying that Princess Ji'er was flying a kite in the morning. I didn't want the kite to be blown up a tree, and none of the two people who followed were able to climb trees. They are in a hurry, Xia Jieyu and Yang Jieyu happened to pass by, and they saw Xia Jieyu climbed up the tree to take down the kite, and everyone was shocked."

Emperor Taiping also became interested when he heard the words, he was probably the only one in the harem who could climb trees, and asked, "The one from Liangzhou?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, the two Jieyu are in Shuangyun Palace."

Only the daughters of two local officials were selected this time, namely Xia Jieyu and Yang Jieyu, whose fathers were both Liangzhou officials.Lian'er was sent by Emperor Taiping to Ashina Jier's side. She was called to take care of her but to monitor her. After all, Zhou Jinhe had whispered in his ear many times, and it was impossible for him to really let Ashnajier go.

With a smile on his face, Emperor Taiping got up and went out, saying: "Let's drive to Shuangyun Palace, I'll go and see Xia Jieyu who can climb trees."

"Here, drive to Shuangyun Palace!"

Since that day, Xia Jieyu has become the new favorite of Emperor Taiping. He often goes to Shuangyun Palace, and even Yang Jieyu has won a lot of favors, which makes everyone in the harem jealous. The village woman who came."

As usual, Zhou Jinhe went to pay his respects to the Empress Yan, and happened to meet a group of concubines in the Empress Yan, so she met her father's new favorite.Taking a closer look, Xia Jieyu possessed a freedom and boldness that the women in the palace did not have. No wonder Emperor Taiping was attracted by her.Zhou Jinhe bowed to Queen Yan, then smiled and said to the newcomers: "I haven't had the chance to meet you all, today is a coincidence."

Except for Empress Yan, everyone here is inferior to Zhou Jinhe, but the old people in the palace watched her grow up. Zhou Jinhe respects the elders, so naturally he will not let them salute, but all the salutes to her: "see Pass Princess Yongning."

"You are welcome." Zhou Jinhe returned the half-respect, and chatted with the group for a while, the atmosphere was very harmonious, but she naturally knew that the empresses of the palaces were secretly competing with each other. It's not stable anymore.

After all the concubines left, Zhou Jinhe stayed in the palace for lunch, smiled and said to Empress Yan: "Then Xia Jieyu is really different from others, no wonder Father likes it, but Yang Jieyu is very inconspicuous in comparison. , not much to say."

Empress Yan forced the corner of her mouth to curl up, and said, "Yes."

Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Zhou Jinhe could guess why, he sighed softly and comforted him, "Three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem are common, but no matter who is favored, there is only one queen."

"I know." Yan Hou patted her hand with emotion, and said melancholy: "I just don't want to, it still happens to this day, the mother mother originally thought that this harem would pass by, and the days to come may not be safe. If a newcomer gives birth to a prince, Gan'er's position may not be guaranteed."

"No matter who can practice Zuo in the future, you will be the Queen Mother." Zhou Jinhe said with a smile: "Queen Mother, there is a son and minister here, so don't worry."

"Hey, Wuding has the military power in his hands. Your uncle is the prime minister now. I know you have a good reputation in the court. You should help me out in the future. Although he was not born to your father, but after all these years, he is very important to you. The palace is fine."

Empress Yan has taught Zhou Jin to work for many years, so she naturally has feelings, anyway, she is not her own, so why should there be an extra empress dowager in the future to annoy her?

"I know, mother, don't worry, this world was built by you and the emperor together, and I will definitely not let anyone come here to make you unhappy." Zhou Jinhe smiled faintly, his eyebrows were full of confidence, let the queen see A lot of relief.

If Jin'er is a man, how can there be so many things?Empress Yan thought so again, but never thought that even if she is not a man, her daughter's ambition should not be underestimated.
