The rise of the president in the harem

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, the seventh year of Jiayi, the summer solstice was the Shennong Festival.

On the morning when the sun was rising, both sides of Chang'an Avenue in Pingjing, the capital city, were already crowded with people watching the ceremony.Because of the Shennong Festival, there will be the custom of the emperor spreading flower dew and hundreds of officials spreading spending money. Therefore, on this day, the common people will hold bright red flowers in their hands to soak in the morning dew, and take bowls to receive the spending money, hoping to have a good harvest of Yulu. good sign.

All the people raised their heads, and as soon as the golden red gate of the imperial palace was opened, the entire Chang'an Avenue erupted into warm cheers.The imperial army in red armor rushed out first to maintain order, followed by a golden chariot, decorated with red silk, and a man in a dragon robe sat in the golden red. up.

Behind the emperor's carriage is the chariot of the emperor's ninth younger brother Yuwang, the accompanying officials and the emperor's bodyguard.Today's entourage is full of energy and their pockets are bulging.The pocket was naturally filled with copper coins that were to be scattered at the Shennong Festival today.

Seeing the Tianzi carriage frame, the common people knelt down to salute consciously, bowed down and sang the Shennong sacrificial song. The lyrics were written like this——

When the sun rises, the bells of the Drum Tower ring.

Shennong's censer is hot, and the green smoke reaches the sky.

The prince is famous, great profit and good luck.

A handful of golden wheat was harvested and enshrined in the Shennong Altar.

After the ceremony, he went around the city, and the emperor returned to the palace.

At dusk, the lights are on, and the red lights are all over the city.

Year after year, blessings last forever.

Shennongtan is located outside the Qinglong Gate on the east side. At this time, the carriage of the Son of Heaven is walking slowly towards the east facing the rising sun. All the officials are throwing copper coins all the way, and the people are rushing all the way and singing songs all the way. The whole Pingjing city is like a boiling pot on this day. High inflation, unprecedented grand occasion.Outside the city, the breeze supports the waves of wheat, and the golden area is shining brightly on this summer morning. It is a dazzling and moving scene.

The guard of honor of the emperor stopped beside the golden waves of wheat, and the emperor Zhou Feiqi got out of the car with the support of Eunuch Hu, the chief eunuch.Holding a sickle in his hand, he cut off a handful of golden millet.The accompanying people cheered enthusiastically at this time, shouting one after another: "God bless the great week, the weather will be fine."

Afterwards, the emperor held the golden wheat and pedaled the chariot, and the chariot set off again until it stopped at the entrance of the Shennong Altar.The emperor got out of the car again, this time holding a golden wheat in one hand and a chubby seven or eight-year-old boy in the other.When people saw this child, they all showed smiles like they were looking at a mascot, and shouted: "His Highness Ninth is about to pass the name, God bless me with great luck!"

The Ninth Prince, who was wearing a red silk brocade robe, was carried by the emperor himself, like a jade ball, and was placed on the red silk decorated scale by the emperor. The steelyard immediately tilted up, and the ceremony officer quickly added A bigger weight can balance the falling speed of the weighing pan.

Seeing this, the people cheered loudly again, as if the double bumps on the scale beam were their guarantee for a smooth year.After passing the name, it is the sacrificial ceremony. The sound of bells and drums spreads melodiously, and the sound is long. All the people follow the emperor to pay respects, which is sacred and spectacular.

This day is very lively.

At sunset, Liang Xiao, captain of the guards, stood on the city tower, watching the thousands of red lights swaying from the palace to the surroundings like a halo of water, knowing that it was time to change shifts.He looked out of the imperial city with some reluctance. As far as he could see, every household was busy hanging red lanterns to pray for blessings. The entire imperial city was immersed in joy, and people could hear auspicious wishes for each other everywhere. In a word, it is really a lot of lights in the world, which makes people linger and forget to return.

But no matter how reluctant he was to see the beautiful scenery in front of him, it was time to change shifts, and he couldn't tolerate him not leaving.Today's summer solstice Shennong festival, all the halls in the palace also hung red lanterns, not only hung red lanterns, but also filled with red peonies, red burnt flowers, red roses and other red flowers in full bloom inside and outside the halls to show the royal grace and luxury temperament.As a result, today's imperial palace is not only golden, but also very prosperous.Looking from a distance, gold and red correspond, so magnificent and full of fragrance of flowers.

Liang Xiao thought, even if it was the Spring Festival or the Lantern Festival, it might not be as beautiful as tonight because of the freezing weather.Such a night is undoubtedly extremely beautiful and gorgeous.Also because it is extremely special, it naturally becomes a good opportunity for accompanying concubines and male servants to compete for it every year in this harem.

Liang Xiao entered the palace as a companion to Emperor Jiayi when he was four years old. He has figured out how to survive in the palace after working in the palace for many years, so he knows very well what this extremely beautiful night means to the masters of the harem. What.

Liang Xiao turned around and looked at the tallest building in the palace, which was the Jiyang Palace, the emperor's bedroom.He thought of Mr. Gao Liang who was going to bed tonight, and secretly said, "I thought I finally helped you once, so that you could go to bed today."Who would have thought that it was God's will to play tricks on people, how could the news of the Weishui bursting embankment be delivered today?Right now, His Majesty is probably still in the Imperial Study. '

"Alas..." Liang Xiao sighed with his hands on his forehead, went down the tower, and led his team of guards to the next place of duty, the emperor's bedroom, Jiyang Hall.

Today, there are twice as many guards in Jiyang Palace as before. After Liang Xiao found this out, he felt a little relieved.He thought, after all, His Majesty is still thinking about the friendship that he had with him for three years. Although he has been hanging out like that since he took him into the palace two years ago, he still takes care of him when he is recruited to sleep with him this time. Safety, otherwise why bother to send twice as many people to guard so tightly?

Comprehending the emperor's intentions, Liang Xiao was unambiguous, and immediately dispatched manpower, as if to defend the Jiyang Palace into an iron bucket.After some errands, he was still not at ease, and started to inspect the surroundings himself.Walking like this, I came to a corner and heard a conversation. Although the speaker's voice was very low, but with Liang Xiao's hearing, he could still hear that it should be two young eunuchs——

'Why do you think Gao Liang is so unlucky?He has been in the palace for two years, and he finally got his sign turned over once, and he caught up with the Weishui River bursting the bank. The emperor is still discussing matters in the imperial study, and he doesn't know if he can't make it through tonight? '

'If you can't make it through, we have to continue to serve you.But don't you know?Now it is rumored in the palace that the emperor did not turn over Gao Liangren's sign at all, and the sign flew into the emperor's hand by himself. '

'ah?There is such a thing?Then, is this brand still refined? '

'Bah bah, where do so many smart people come from? !Don't be scary in the middle of the night, okay?That's right, it's said that Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch in charge, fell down for some reason, and all the green cards were thrown away.It's just that other people's signs are falling to the ground, but Gao Liangren's sign is flying into the sky. Not only did it fly, but it also directly smashed the emperor's dragon robe, which attracted the emperor's attention! '

'Is it so amazing?I said, why did you take Eunuch Zhang away when you saw Eunuch Li beside the Queen Mother today?It turned out to be because of this. '

'is not that right?Think about it, since the emperor's harem was opened for three years, apart from Concubine Shu and Uncle Qing, who other masters in the harem have served on the day of the Shennong Festival? '

'Well, not really.However, Concubine Shu is the Empress Dowager's niece, and Lin Jingzhi, uh, and Uncle Lin Qing were only concubines of the Lin family before entering the palace. His father, Lord Lin, has now been promoted to the governor of Jinzhou, but before that, he was only a servant of the Ministry of Rites. '

'You don't know that again, do you?Mr. Lin got married the year before last, do you know who he married?That's a certain girl who is related to the Li family of the Empress Dowager's natal family. You said that with this relationship, can the Empress Dowager not take care of Uncle Lin Qing? '

'So this is ah.No wonder Uncle Qing attended the Shennong Festival last year. After that, he was promoted from a Lin Liangren of the fourth rank to the second rank, and he was still ranked the fourth rank.At that time, I thought that he had some extraordinary ability, which made His Majesty look at him differently. I really didn't expect that there was such an inside story.However, in the final analysis, even if he is ranked fourth, he is still overwhelmed by Concubine Shu.I don't know when the emperor will become the empress, alas... by the way, Brother Jia, you are so well informed, have you never heard of the empress? '

'I can know where I am after standing. '

'And do you have any other news?Come and tell me! '

'Hmph, there's so much news, I'm afraid it will scare you to death.Listen well, it is said that this year's harem general election, the four countries intend to send aristocratic brothers to participate in the election! '

'ah? !This is a big deal...'

Listening to their whispers, Liang Xiao thought to himself that I made the green card fly. If I can make it fly once, I can make it fly a second time. Well, these two little eunuchs really owe a lesson!However, Si Fanbang's participation in this year's draft is indeed a major event. If this is not handled properly, it will easily cause trouble.

Liang Xiao just thought about it for a moment, the two little eunuchs were talking more and more outrageous, he couldn't listen anymore, coughed a few times deliberately, then turned the corner, and saw the two little eunuchs terrified. Looking at this side, seeing that it was him, he quickly bent down to salute.

"Huh?" Liang Xiao raised his hand, as if he had just discovered them, and he was about to hit him. He said angrily, "Why are you hiding here? Hurry up and serve in the palace. If Gao Liang has something good or bad, you two don't even think about it." wanted!"

When the two young eunuchs heard the words, they quickly ran away with their heads in their hands.After running to the gate of the Emperor's bedroom, Jiyang Hall, they patted their chests and let out a breath in unison.The two gathered their minds together, and then pushed the door and walked in lightly.

There are two ice buckets in the main hall, which is extremely cool and quiet.

On the dragon bed in the center of the hall, there is a yellow brocade quilt, and there is a person wrapped in it, who is the Gao Liang man that everyone said.The two young eunuchs quietly approached the bed, shouted twice and saw no one answered, then stopped making a sound, and stood on both sides of the dragon bed with their heads down, ready to be ordered by them at any time.

When Gao Yue woke up, she felt that her hands and feet were bound, as if she was bound by something, and her face seemed to be covered with something, and her heart was half dry in an instant—could she have been kidnapped? !It also occurred to him that he slept at his own house last night. The law and order in the villa area of ​​his house was very good. Kidnapping?It shouldn't be.So, after a lot of struggle, he finally found out that it was the quilt that bound him up.

Gao Yue couldn't laugh or cry, she finally freed a hand and pulled off the quilt covering her face - where am I? ! !Why does this place look more and more like a certain palace? ! !

When Gao Yue turned his head and saw that there were still two little eunuchs standing beside the bed, and those two little eunuchs also looked at him in horror, their eyes met each other, and after a while——

A burst of screams of 'Ahhh' broke out in the Jiyang Palace at the same time, interspersed with shouts of 'Gao Liangren, you can't get out of bed', 'Gao Liangren, what are you doing', and 'Gao Liangren, you are crazy'.
