[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

The limelight of marrying a daughter in Cheng'en's mansion has finally passed, and the harem has also laid off staff before the twelfth lunar month. The 22-year-old court lady Du En is released from the palace, and those who have nowhere to go can be introduced by the queen's contacts.Of course, there are also those who are invested in those married concubines, counting on the introduction of marriage. After all, they are all married to officials, and their husbands have many bachelors under their hands.As a result, there were actually one-third fewer maids in the harem, and there was no need to pick them for the time being. The extra eunuchs also participated in the work training of the East and West factories.

At the end of the grand court meeting on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor lamented somehow that the harem was empty, expressing his nostalgia for the glory and excitement of the past.There are two courtiers who have long been tolerant of the queen's rooster, disregarding the harem system, and having opinions on unworthy women. The queen has set a bad example for women all over the world.

So he jumped out to remonstrate, and he used Su Qin's eloquence. The emperor was a little listless at first, but seeing them jumping out, he listened with great interest.However, the ministers felt chills down their spines, and some ministers couldn't bear to look directly at them. Those who were wise to protect themselves or those who were inextricably related to the queen felt that how could there be such stupidity in the world.

Do you understand each other?Are you going to be silly reading stereotyped writing?

The emperor smiled, but did not get angry, saying that both of them were loyal ministers and would not care about their rudeness.The emperor said that their family must be a model of etiquette, and there are virtuous women in the family.Therefore, two concubines were given to each of them on the spot. They were fourth-rank officials, and their family's imperial order was fourth-rank.

At this time, some officials jumped out and objected. Does this concubine have to be ordered to pay back?If the ritual system is really going to collapse, there will be no distinction between prostitutes and concubines.

So the emperor said: "Do you remember that in your family you can't distinguish between the son and the concubine, you have to abide by the etiquette system, and it's fine if you dare to love my family?"

The emperor flung his sleeves away, and the ministers present looked at each other in blank dismay.

After bestowing the maids to those two officials, Tu Yuanyi finally felt that the inexplicable discomfort of the past few months had been vented.If the harem is quiet, let’s be quiet, and it’s also good to watch the bustle of other people’s homes.

In the afternoon, Tu Yuanyi splashed tears in the sleeping hall while Zhao Gui went to the Ganlu Hall to invite the Queen.

The queen put down the official document from Sichuan and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Guidao: "Go back to your mother, the sage is not doing well now, you should go and have a look."

The queen said: "Yesterday was fine, what's the matter? I won't get a cold." As far as his physical fitness is concerned, there is something wrong.

The queen went to the sleeping hall. To be honest, they seldom rest here now. They all live in the Ganlu Hall. Although this place is bigger and more luxurious, it is definitely the setting for TV dramas.

Tu Yuanyi was sitting at a table outside the large glass screen drinking wine, half of his hair was tied up in a very unconventional Han style, and the other half was like silk long hair draped behind his back, long hair reaching his waist. melancholy.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Xin Xiuyan sat down beside him, and Tu Yuanyi sighed: "It's gone, so many beauties are gone, alas!"

Xin Xiuyan's beautiful eyes were slightly cold, and she said: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"I... why did I... get mixed up like this? There is a tigress in the family, and the roar of the tiger shakes the mountains and forests!"

This is a sad story. When she first entered the palace, his script was not written like this. It should be a normal relationship between Mingjun and Concubine.

Xin Xiuyan snatched his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't drink, you should take medicine."

Tu Yuanyi said: "I am the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, who has worked hard for the country, the country, and the country, and doesn't even have this kind of welfare?"

Xin Xiuyan said: "What do you want? Do you want Ye Yu/Seven Girls? Is that so important?"

"Isn't it important to a man?"

"Has your old age been stimulated to come ahead of time?" Many emperors in history could not escape this curse.This is man nature.

"You jealous jar!"

Xin Xiuyan stared at him for a long time, she is not a brainless woman, she understands everything this man has done for her, how can she give up because of these few words now, an emperor like him is afraid of his wife like this, so send him What's wrong with being a little angry.

Xin Xiuyan chuckled, and said: "Yes, that's how I am, I don't want to be jealous unless I don't like you! How can I let others touch what I like? Be honest with me, I'm not a soft-hearted woman next to you, Whoever dares to touch my man, it would be too cheap for Dugu Jialuo to chop him off with a single knife."

Tu Yuanyi asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xin Xiuyan looked bloodthirsty: "You will have a concubine in the future, I will chop it into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs. If you dare to touch your woman, I will strip her naked and parade in the street, and then build a public toilet in the downtown area to entertain any man for free." until death."

Tu Yuanyi was taken aback, and then sighed, how could he marry such a jealous Hedong lion.

Xin Xiuyan crossed her chest: "I have to finish the guns I have arranged."

Tu Yuanyi said: "When I made you queen, I thought you would be a good queen."

Xin Xiuyan grinned, stretched out her hand to caress his handsome face, and said, "Good girl, there won't be too much difference. At most, when the two of us are ignorant, I promise you to think of me as another great beauty."

For the current Xin Xiuyan, she just doesn't suffer from the mental cleanliness of women.The spring dream of leaving no trace is just a physiological stimulation of the subconscious, which is human nature.

Tu Yuanyi originally thought that this would be a novelty, but then he turned his expression back, and his eyes showed a fierce look: "You dare to think of me as another handsome man!"

Xin Xiuyan: ...

……

Li Rong brought the eunuchs and maids who were serving him to the outside of the bedroom, and asked his godfather: "Have the saint and the empress woke up yet?"

Zhao Gui looked at the eunuch with a daily note beside him, and said to Li Rong: "The emperor said that today the court will be exempted. You are waiting by your ears first."

Li Rong couldn't help worrying: "The ministers of the foreign court will not have any objections. They were exempted from the court yesterday, and people are in a panic."

Zhao Gui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, just do your work!"

Tu Yuanyi is definitely a workaholic diligent emperor, and only the queen can get some other fun.Zhao Gui still knows the master very well, it is already the twelfth lunar month, there is no major event in the court, the emperor just wants to play.They just need to prepare the royal meal, clothes, and hot soup.

It was not until the fourth day that the emperor went to court, and the empress walked out of the dormitory with her waist supported.After that, the minister had to accept this saint who surpassed Tang Zong and Song Zu when he was wise, and approached those emperors of the Ming Dynasty when he was absurd.

And the circle of noble ladies in Beijing also knew about the two upright courtiers who directly admonished the emperor, the empress was jealous, unvirtuous, and did not abide by the rules of etiquette.Whose family's official wife received a few more concubines with imperial orders, this is completely illegal operation, okay?

The noble ladies in the capital were unanimously united and opposed to the end. Their operation was to keep their men from interfering in the emperor's family affairs.

In addition to the two courtiers who had concubines in their families, there was another family who had concubines, that is, Aunt Zhao of Jia's Mansion.The emperor said that it was because of Yijun Wangfu and Shunpinghoufu, and he gave him a grace, after all, Jia Huan wanted to take Shen Man.Aunt Zhao, as Jia Huan's biological mother, obtained the status of an eighth-rank imperial order wife. Of course, the document could not be written by the emperor himself.

This is embarrassing. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have been in prison for many years. Even if they are released, they will be for nothing. Among the three of them, only Aunt Zhao has an identity.Now it's exciting to watch. When Tu Yuanyi's brain is wide open, he also feels relieved to see other people fighting endlessly.

It has been half a month since Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were released from prison. Although they were in prison, since the emperor didn't specifically say that they would torture them, they didn't receive much harsh treatment. It was inevitable that they would get dirty.But Jia Lian was also a favored official of the court of the Ministry of Punishment, and Jia's mother begged. They saw her silver-haired and tearful, so they inevitably had to walk around a bit.And Jia Huan, as a parent and child, naturally wanted to visit his own father.

Jia Zheng didn't have much ability at all, although he had some cunning in his temper, he was actually weak.On the contrary, Mrs. Wang has the strong temperament of the daughter of the Wang family, because Baoyu is not affected by stubborn stones, showing his extraordinary appearance as a real fairy descending to the world, and married the concubine daughter of Wang Ziteng, with hope in her heart.Baoyu is already a juren, as long as he is in Chunwei High School, it is impossible for Wang Ziteng to ignore this nephew and son-in-law in the future, and she will still be an old prince in the future.

But she said that Tan Chun was a high-minded person and wanted to marry Chen Yi, but Chen Yi married Xie Wanying, so she had no choice but to choose a son-in-law to marry another, she couldn't afford to delay, and she didn't have a better chance.With the help of Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and others, he chose an eighth-rank school captain from Sichuan to marry. Although he came from a grassroots background and looks mediocre, he was still an official of the imperial court.

After Tanchun married as an older sister, it was Jia Huan who married Shen Man.When Shen Man got married, although the dowry was more than other concubines, in addition to the dowry of 1 taels of silver from the House of Internal Affairs, Shunping Hou Mansion, Yijun Wang Mansion, and other people who had a close relationship between the two mansions were more interesting to add dowry, and the dowry was made There are also one hundred and eight loads.

But Jia Huan has no foundation after all, and the people who go out to greet the bride are not like those grooms in Sichuan who unite and help each other to do their own thing, and make a big scene every time.They use the equipment of the wedding team repeatedly, and it doesn't cost much to each person.Jia Huan wanted to make that kind of ostentation, he didn't do it all by himself, and he had to take care of everything, and he didn't pursue those flashy things.

Shen Man was taken into the East Courtyard of Jia's Mansion. During the worship, Jia Zheng sat in the high hall, but Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao were seated on the left. The silk jacket she wore.Aunt Zhao is proud of herself, and her eighth-rank imperial order is better than white body.

This amazed the guests, and secretly looked down on Jia Zheng's family. They were so irregular that they couldn't get on the stage.

The guests also whispered in private that it was rumored that the bride's natal family was great. After all, her mother was the head of the clan and county, and she ordered her husband's birth mother to come before she even entered the house.

At night, after the banquet was over, Jia Huan went into the bridal chamber, and the maids and servants all dispersed. Looking at his new wife, who was his first wife in two lifetimes, he felt strange in his heart.

Shen Man is still good-looking, three years older than Jia Huan, which is nothing, but Xiren in this life is four and a half years older than him.Seeing that Jia Huan finally got married and married someone else, Xi Ren didn't have any objections, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she didn't have the power to fight against Jia Huan.

Shen Man has been in the palace for many years, and on this wedding night, she finally understands what a real man is.Jia Huan is quite satisfied with the fact that she is still a virgin. There is no virginity repair surgery these days.

He couldn't help but also admire Xin Xiuyan's methods in his heart, she was able to fascinate someone like the emperor so much that she left so many beauties in the harem for nothing.But thinking of myself as her ex-boyfriend in her previous life, it is also a pity that I didn't try something new before the emperor.Of course, this kind of man's bad idea is just a flash.

Jia Huan still had a lot of experience, and Shen Man felt no pain during the process, so he liked Jia Huan even more in his heart.Xing Xiuyan, the woman she hated the most in her heart, could be favored by the emperor alone, so now she is naturally planning to control her husband with all her heart.

When she got up the next day, Jia Huan gently brushed her eyebrows, and after dressing up together, she left the house and went to the east courtyard to serve tea to her parents-in-law.

The three of them sat in the high hall in embarrassment again. It was nothing to respect Jia Zheng, but it was interesting for Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao.

Although Shen Man was born in the Hou family, but Xianning County Lord doted on her too much. At this time, because Mrs. Wang was white, and she had found out that Jia Huansu didn't like her aunt, she offered tea to Aunt Zhao first, calling her "mother-in-law".

Mrs. Wang almost couldn't hold back her face. When Shen Man knelt in front of her, she didn't pick it up for a long time, and said coolly: "It's really a daughter of the Hou family, and she came from the palace. The rules are very good."

Shen Man couldn't understand, Mrs. Wang exposed her scars directly, she hated in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "My wife praised me, but it's not as good as Jia Nushi raised by my wife."

"you……"

"Oh, why are you talking about this? My grandfather managed to connect up and down, and picked up his wife. She will just wait for her to enjoy the blessings in the future."

Mrs. Wang's nails were about to dig into her flesh, and her chest heaved. Jia Zheng sighed, "Madam, my daughter-in-law is offering you tea."

Mrs. Wang just took the tea and gave a red envelope.Afterwards, Jia Huan and Shen Man went to the Rongqing Hall of the first-class general's mansion to greet Jiamu. Jiamu was in good spirits today and did not make things difficult for them.

Jia's mother didn't like Jia Huan any more, but it was his connection that brought Jia Zheng in. Shen Man was regarded as a relative of the emperor. Although Jia's mother was in poor health, she still hoped that she would let Jia Zheng find another official position.

At this time, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Wang Xiyan, Jia Qiaojie, and Jia Rong were also in Rongqing Hall, and they also greeted each other with Shen Man.

Shen Man had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but smile.She is also clear about the relationship with the eldest family of Jia, she is a relative of Xing Xiuyan, and Shen Man is not a big-bellied person. Although he has been kind to him at this time, he no longer has the fear of Xing Xiuyan from the bottom of his heart, but he still wants to curse tens of millions in his heart. all over the place.

Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng didn't pay much attention to this Shen Man. Once the left and right old ladies go, they will completely separate the family, let alone the second-bedroom concubine's family, they can't even live in the East Courtyard.A daughter of the Marquis of Shunping, even entered the palace, can her mother's family really support her without limit?

Since there is no sincerity, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also take it as a joke, and Wang Xiyan is Wang Ziteng's daughter, so she has some confidence.

After Jia Huan accompanied Shen Man back to the house, on the fourth day, Jia Huan went to visit the new grandmother in three rooms in the mansion. Besides Caixia, there were two beautiful maidservants.Caixia has an old love, and Aunt Zhao also likes her. She has helped Aunt Zhao manage the internal affairs of the East Hospital for many years.The other two beautiful maidservants, one is a prisoner, she is only 16 years old, she has bright eyes and white teeth; the other is a thin horse given by a friend of Jia Huan's businessman, she is very beautiful and sexy, and the most important thing is that she still has eight points Like Teacher Cang.

When Shen Man saw these three servant girls coming to serve tea, she felt that she was not well. She still drank tea on the surface, but there was a thorn in her heart, which was no less painful than when she was in the palace.
