The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

The celebration is going on at the moment, and there are many programs to follow.

The queen didn't go into details: "The concubine's ability is limited, today's birthday dance can be completed, thanks to Kou Gongzheng's efforts."

Kou Gongzheng is very capable. Sometimes, when the queen can't suppress the concubine, Kou Gongzheng can solve it smoothly by stepping forward.

One is that Kou Gong is doing things fairly.

The second is that His Majesty is willing to give this face.

The reason why His Majesty is willing to give Kou Gong a positive face is also because Emperor Jiahe wants to restrict the harem.

Although the queen is a decoration without favor, Emperor Jiahe has no plans to change the queen.

The existence of the queen can relieve the pressure on Emperor Jiahe in the previous dynasty, and it can also ease the competition among the princes.

Once the empress falls, the courtiers and princes will be caught in a life-and-death struggle in an instant.

As long as the empress of the harem goes one step further, not only will the queen position be secure, but her son will also be granted the crown prince as a matter of course.

How can a royal palace compare with such a huge country?

How can a concubine in a nursing home compare to the empress dowager?

This is the difference between cloud and mud!

The girls in the harem are bound to have a life-and-death struggle.

Therefore, in order for the sons not to kill each other, and the grape shelf in the harem not to collapse, Emperor Jiahe must hang the signboard of the queen!

Even if the situation can only be temporarily stabilized, Emperor Jiahe can have more time to calmly arrange for the future emperor.

Therefore, when the Empress launched Kou Gongzheng at this time, Emperor Jiahe smiled face-saving and said, "Kou Gongzheng is just and selfless, honest in his work, and will be rewarded with a golden belt."

Kou Gong is busy kowtowing to Shengen.

This golden belt is no better than the belt of the female officer of the Six Bureaus and One Division.

The gold girdle of the female officer is a gilt silver girdle.

The golden belt bestowed by His Majesty is actually a belt inlaid with gold and jade.

This golden belt is no longer a simple belt, it is a symbol, it already has the nature of Shang Fang's sword.

Any empress in the harem, even the empress, cannot let Kou Gongzheng kneel down to answer from now on.

Otherwise, it is contempt for the Holy King.

When the empress took the empress and ministers to the theater, Xiao Huajing couldn't run around, let alone meet her grandmother and mother.

Even if you want to meet your grandmother and mother in person, you have to wait until the celebration is over and you can meet in private with the queen's grace.

That's the case, when we meet, the female officer Nv Shi from Shangyi Bureau will be there to accompany her.

And when today's celebration is over, the Empress must strike while the iron is hot, interrogate the poisoned Shangshi Bureau Zhang Shi, and dig out the black hands behind it.

Therefore, launching Kou Gongzheng at this time is to prepare for the overthrow of Concubine Xian in the future.

It is also to prevent the virtuous concubine from complaining first.

The celebration will end before lunch.

In the afternoon, the ministers and Gao Ming retreated.

His Majesty will have a banquet with his children and grandchildren.

The princes want colorful clothes to entertain their relatives.

As the aunt of the princes, the empress should be accompanied by the audience.

The celebration of Wanshou lasted for a whole day.

The evening was just over.

During this period, Emperor Jiahe left the meeting several times to meet with ministers.

The queen empress also took the opportunity to meet the imperial orders from various governments.

At this time, Xiao Huajing had the opportunity to talk to her grandmother, mother and aunt.

First of all, the elders asked about Xiaohuajing's situation in the palace: whether she is used to it or not, whether she is happy or not.

Then, report the situation of the family, and Jia Hu will get married in May next year.

Jia Zhu's marriage will have to wait until the end of the year.

Jia's mother told Xiao Huajing that Jia Zhu's marriage had originally seen girls from several families.

The Wang family took a fancy to a concubine from the clan.

Jia Zheng fell in love with the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu.

The girl from the Du family was favored by grandfather Jia Daishan, and he invited Uncle Lin to be a matchmaker, and it was done.

Wang made a hypothesis, and pulled Xiao Huajing to ask: "It is said that the girl from Du's family is also working in the Sixth Bureau, does Yuan'er know her, is she familiar?"

Xiao Huajing smiled and said: "She is my master, she lives next to me in the yard."

Wang Shi was overjoyed: "Can I see you?"

Xiao Huajing said: "It's definitely not going to happen. If she wants to see her, she will also see the wife of the Du family, the old lady. Why would she come here for a kiss with us? The empress can't agree."

Wang smiled and poked Xiao Huajing: "I don't believe that you, a bureau, can't do anything?"

Xiao Huajing could only smile and said: "I'll see the situation when I send you out of the palace later."

Speaking of Ye Qiao, the two-quarter hour meeting time is over.

Xiaohuajing, Shi Xiangjun, holding the piano, and the three of them escorted Jia's mother, the Zhang family, and the Wang family out of the palace, and immediately met Du Qing, who also took the girl Shi to send the Du family's daughters out of the palace.

At such a time, apart from waiting for the imperial orders to meet relatives, most of the imperial orders have already left the palace.

The Imperial Street was relatively empty, and the two groups of people met just like that.

The female family members of the Rong Mansion knew the female family members of the Du family, and the matchmaker invited two people, one was Lin Ruhai, and the other was the uncle Jia Jing.

There is no look of discussing relatives, everyone knows each other, but Qinggui doesn't have much contact with Xungui.

At this time, they became in-laws, and everyone said hello.

Xiao Huajing greeted the female family members of the Du family: "Sister Du, are you sending the old lady and aunt out of the palace too?"

Du Qing naturally wanted to salute the Rong family.

Wang looked at her face.

The female family members of Rongfu are very satisfied.

They have seen this female officer several times.

Acting as expected, his posture is correct, and his voice is crisp.

Du Qing has a slender figure, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a small round face, a raised nose and a small mouth, refreshing and refreshed.

Looking at her stature, she is a head shorter than Xiao Huajing, but not too short, and is considered to be of medium height among women.

Xiaohuajing is considered the most challenging group among women.

In the group of boys, he is also of medium height.

Xiao Huajing is five feet two inches tall (one foot and 34 centimeters in the Ming Dynasty).

In this comparison, Du Qing is about four feet and eight inches.

Du Qing is not short.

When Jia Mu and Wang saw it, they laughed more and more lovingly.

Mrs. Wang laughed even more happily, the wife of Dafang Jiahu is at most four feet six inches.I heard that he has a very aggressive temper.

Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is very gentle and demure.

Naturally, Xiao Huajing couldn't know her mother's advice, so she sent the female family members of the two houses out of Xihua Gate, and hurriedly returned to the Sixth Bureau.

There is still a tough battle to fight this evening.

Both Xiaohuajing and Du Qing ignored a problem.

Fu Shanggong of Shanggong Bureau is of the same family as Concubine Xian.

The two of them didn't discover the clue until Fu Shanggong was absent from the four bureaus.

Both Du Qing and Xiao Huajing believed that Fu Shanggong would not do this.

At the beginning, the Bureau of Shangyi repeatedly rejected the roster of visits from the Fu family, but Fu Shanggong had no complaints.

Therefore, everyone did not think of this relationship.

Kou Gongzheng's explanation for Fu Shanggong's non-participation in the interrogation was reasonable: "It's not that he suspects Fu Shanggong, but Zhang Shi confessed that it was Fu Xianfei's instigation.

Concubine Fu Xian is of the same family as Fu Shanggong, so she needs to avoid it. "

Then, although Zhang Shi of the Shangshi Bureau claimed that he was instructed by the concubine Xian.

However, she has never met Concubine Xian, but it is Wang Taohong, the female historian in Concubine Fu Xian's palace, who has been in touch with her.

However, Wang Taohong committed suicide by biting her tongue on the way to the sixth round.

Concubine Fu Xian's elder brother served as a servant in the household department.

Once Wang Taohong's contact person died, it would be impossible to seriously injure Concubine Xian.

The queen felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the final analysis, her control over the harem was too poor.

The servants and Nvshi who escorted Wang Taohong obviously didn't do their best.

Otherwise, why can't four people look down on a female history?

Xiao Huajing was also very surprised, she didn't expect that four people would not be able to see a female history.

The empress has no other way so far, and if something happens, it can't be treated as if it didn't happen.

The next day.

The Queen Empress took Kou Gong to plead guilty to His Majesty the Emperor.

Concubine Xian was charged with laxity.

Concubine Fu Xian was banned for half a year and fined for one year to show her vigilance.

Concubine Fu Xian had nothing to lose except losing face.

His Majesty's favor has been cut off long ago, but it's just that he can't do errands for His Majesty within half a year.

She didn't care, but it was a pity for Wang Taohong, a capable maidservant: "Wei Ying is too incompetent."

Emperor Jiahe commended Kou Gongzheng for his stability in the face of danger.He also made an exception and summoned Zhou Shanggong and Ma Shangxiang.

As a result, Zhou Shang came back with 50 taels of gold ingots and twelve bolts of brocades of various colors.

Ma Shangxiang beat the dog with meat buns.

Because of Ma Shangxiang's short stature, it doesn't look like it is arranged in the back.

Therefore, although Ma Shangxiang was a substitute, he was arranged in the first row.

Emperor Jiahe was quite impressed with her.

The next day.

Ma Shangxiang sat on Zhai Yu and went back to the Si Yan Division to tidy up and salute.

There is a system of etiquette in the imperial palace, and only concubines above concubines in the harem have special Zhai Yu.

Of course, His Majesty's special gift is also acceptable.

From this point of view, Ma Shangxiang's treatment is not low.

The salute for female officials entering the palace is very simple.

Ma Shangxiang's sister-in-law did not give Ma Shangxiang much money.The grandfather's family is just an ordinary family, and it still depends on her mother's subsidy.

Only the private money of a few thousand silver from her mother was given to the girl for collection.

She came back to bid farewell to Du Qing Xiaohuajing.

Xiao Huajing asked about Ma Shangxiang's residence, and it turned out that he lived in the empress's side hall.

On the [-]th day of Emperor Jiahe's first day, he would go to the Queen's Palace to sit, and spend the rest of his time in Concubine Zhen's Yongshou Palace.

Yongshou Palace is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In recent years, Emperor Jiahe mostly lived in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Ma Shangxiang said: "The empress asked for my opinion, the other palaces are full, only the empress's palace, Chuxiu palace and Zhongcui palace have room..."

Rather than falling into remote places like Chuxiu Palace and Zhongcui Palace, it is better to follow the queen and occupy the [-]th day of the lunar new year.

The Empress Dowager intends to suppress Xian Concubine Zhen, so she will definitely arrange for her to sleep with her.

Even if Emperor Jiahe doesn't dote on her, she can live with the queen and her life is guaranteed.

Ma Shangxiang lowered his voice and told the two: "The empress promised that my mother will be called into the palace every year and festival in the future."

In this way, the governing government dare not ignore this old imperial order.

Ma Shangxiang's father did not keep the Marquis for some reason, and her mother was only ordered by the wife of a third-rank general.

On this day, Ma Shangxiang was entertaining guests at Siyan Division, and Shangshi Bureau prepared top-quality dishes.

The empress Shang Gong from the Shangshi Bureau came to serve her in person.

This time, if Ma Shangxiang and Zhou Shanggong hadn't been ordered in the face of danger, they would have suffered a lot.

In the afternoon of this day, the empress summoned Du Qing and Xiao Huajing, and the empress issued a decree to confer Ma Shangxiang as a fifth-grade talent.

Generally, when women from aristocratic families enter the palace, they start from Baolin.

The small selection of palace ladies starts with picking girls.

Concubine Zhen is known as the favorite concubine, and it took her three months to be promoted from a female picker to a talented person.

Ma Shangxiang is a talented person after attending bed once, this kind of favor is not unreasonable.

Ma Shangxiang accepted Yi's decree, and told Du Qing and Xiao Huajing shyly: "Your Majesty did not give any medicine."

"Giving medicine? What kind of plaster does my sister need?"

Xiao Huajing was a little confused, thinking that Ma Shangxiang was asking for help from them.

Is it hurt?

But Du Qing understood in seconds, and secretly pulled Xiao Huajing to wink.

Ma Shangxiang pursed his lips and smiled.

Baoqin also chirped and chuckled.

Xiao Huajing immediately understood that she must have made a joke.

Xiao Huajing was very embarrassed, and laughed along with everyone: "What are you bad guys talking about?"

This is an omission in Jia's mother and Wang's education.

Jiamu was ambitious before.

However, Jia Daishan would not let her intervene.

Both Jia's mother and Wang's family thought that Jia Daishan would make a move, and probably Yuan Chun would be exempt from the election.

Since the election is exempt, the secrets of the boudoir can be postponed for a while, and it is not too late to explain it after Jiji.

Who knew that Jiahe Emperor got involved, and Xiao Huajing became a female official.

Wang was in confinement at that time.

Jia's mother was also uncomfortable, thinking that Emperor Jiahe was too unreasonable.

When they calmed down, Jia Zhen's wife had an accident again.

Both governments are in grief, how can there be such a leisurely heart.

When Xiao Huajing was about to enter the palace, Jia's mother remembered it, she thought, her granddaughter will leave the palace in three years, so let's wait until she leaves the palace.

It takes at least a year from engagement to marriage, so there is nothing to say.

Hence the joke of the day.

Seeing that the master was annoyed, Baoqin told Xiao Huajing before going to bed in the middle of the night: "If you don't give medicine, you will keep the child."

Now Xiao Huajing finally understood, poked and hugged Qin angrily: "You are dishonest girl, if you talk such nonsense, I will send you back to the mansion tomorrow."

Baoqin knew that Xiao Huajing was scaring her, so he flattened his mouth and said: "Master is lying again, the maids entering the palace are all registered, and they have to explain the reason for leaving the palace without reason. What are you going to say, master?"

Xiao Huajing was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

Holding the piano, she ran to make Xiao Huajing's bed: "Master, you should go to bed early, and you will be out of the palace tomorrow to announce the decree. I just don't know if the old lady can get the news..."

But Xiao Huajing knew that her family knew the news, so she would not go to the meeting.

Otherwise, Emperor Jiahe would have to worry about the safety of the palace, so he would have to thoroughly investigate the loopholes.

Xiao Huajing woke up overnight, and another strange incident happened in the palace.

The red carp babbled and reported to Xiao Huajing: "The old turtle came back last night with the news that the turtle grandson was not alone, he first threw Zhou Shanggong into the koi pond, and then jumped down to save Zhou Shanggong himself.

Now, the king of Yizhong County has come to Kunning Palace and asked to marry Zhou Shanggong as his side concubine. "

Zhou Shanggong?

Xiao Huajing took a while to remember who this person was.

How dare the king of Yizhong County rob someone from the fourth prince?

Emperor Jiahe didn't let his grandson go out of the palace to open the mansion, for fear that he would cause trouble.

I didn't expect to do the same thing in the palace.

Xiao Huajing immediately felt something was wrong: "What is Zhou Shanggong doing at the koi pond?"

Red carp said: "The fourth prince is not happy that Zhou Shanggong is showing off and showing his face in front of His Majesty, so he asked Zhou Shanggong to meet and beat her.

Zhou Shanggong was a little unhappy. After the fourth prince left, she was lying on the stomach somewhere to watch the fish, and someone threw her down. "

Xiao Huajing didn't understand: "If you save someone and give him thanks, why should you marry him?"

The red carp couldn't explain it clearly either.

Du Qing explained Xiao Huajing's confusion: "Zhou Shanggong was rescued, and his shoes and socks were lost.

The king of the county carried her all the way back, if he couldn't marry the king of the county, he could only marry far away. "
