[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

"Fourth rank?! I'm only seventh rank, from sixth rank, from sixth rank, from fifth rank, from fifth rank, from fourth rank... There are so many differences? Aren't they all little wives? Why can't they serve a bowl of water? Ping?" Xing Xiuyan said sadly.

"The harem is connected with the previous dynasties. How old is your father, and what kind of officials are his father and brother?" Tu Yuanyi said with a smile.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Although I don't study much, don't lie to me. There were no relatives in the Ming Dynasty, but how powerful were Mingtai/Zu and Chengzu? The territory extended to Lake Baikal in the northern desert. The policy of preferential treatment for literati, the low status of warriors, and the natural disasters of the Little Ice Age, how could it be only 270 years? Even Emperor Tianqi was not stupid. It was Chongzhen who couldn’t think about killing Wei Zhongxian, so he was played by the Donglin gentlemen who are the spokespersons of the Jiangnan consortium die."

A gleam flashed in Tu Yuanyi's eyes, but he said again: "This dynasty is this dynasty, and the previous Ming is the previous Ming."

Xing Xiuyan didn't delve too deeply into it, but said, "The sage will grant me Jieyu."

Tu Yuanyi said: "What good does it do me to make you Jieyu?"

"Advantages? Are you trying to sell an official title? Why don't you just sell them all? The queen's position is 200 million taels, the imperial concubine's position is 150 million taels, and the fourth concubine's is 100 million taels. How can a person like me cost two or thirty thousand taels?" ? How much are the 3 concubines and 72 royal wives in Sangong Sixth Court? One-third of them are killed every year, and they are resold. Work performance is worth a household department."

Xing Xiuyan thought it was funny even when he talked about it, so he couldn't help giggling until he realized that the surrounding air had become cold and condensed.

Uh... Xing Xiuyan suddenly turned her head to look at Tu Yuanyi: the cold air is blowing, and the snow is about to come.

It's terrible to get used to this kind of thing, tell yourself to be on guard and be on guard again, but will a daughter be on guard when facing her parents? 120 years, what was not said back then?

Back then, she also told the story of the emperor in the superficial era. The protagonist was handsome, but he had been the hostage of the enemy, and he endured all the humiliation all the way. Seize the country.

After hearing this story, he was still filled with emotions, and sighed: Only by suffering and suffering can one become a master.

However, this moment, that moment.

"Have you read "The Female Ring"?" Tu Yuanyi asked.

"...read it." Mammy asked, forcing herself to read it.

"Go back and silence..." He wanted to say it a hundred times, but his lips were blocked, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

Xing Xiuyan doesn't hate kissing him, it's not bad for him to sleep like this now, she just doesn't want to fall in love with him.

She hugged his neck with both hands, opened her nose sideways, and kissed his lips tenderly, passionately and shyly.

Xing Xiu was shy with the brilliance of a new bride, looked at him with full eyes, and said: "Saint, can a woman in Dazhou kiss a man on her own initiative?"

His phoenix eyes shone brightly, and he said, "I reckon... there are very few people as shameless as you."

"Oh, then I can't even kiss a saint if I want to?"

Tu Yuanyi's heart fluttered, he controlled his expression, and said, "Why does Xiuxiu want to kiss me?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "The harem is too boring, the only interesting thing I can think of is..."

"What is it?"

"Molesting a saint."

Tu Yuanyi supported her body, hugged her and smiled evilly at him, "What a bold little fairy."

Xing Xiuyan chuckled, stretched out his hand to lift his chin, and said, "Little beauty, give me a smile."

Tu Yuanyifeng stared at her and said, "There are no rules."

Xing Xiuyan traced the tuanlong on his white dragon robe with his fingers, bit his lips and said, "The saint doesn't like it, so just tease me occasionally."

Tu Yuanyi's eyes were as bright as Sirius.

Xing Xiuyan leaned close, rubbed against his straight nose and covered it again, kissed him firmly, it felt good, she lay in his arms, kissed several more, and then she pretended to be satisfied and pillowed on his shoulder.

"I really didn't expect that we did it backwards. We became close relatives first, and went to bed first without love, and then I molested you. According to this backward development, after a while, don't you want to Became my pure first love? This must be the sequelae of going back in time."

Tu Yuanyi was obviously very happy in Long's heart, he put his arms around her and stroked her cheek, and said softly, "You've also teased me, are you feeling comfortable?"

"Then you can't be molested by others, you can molested others."

"Why is this?"

"Uncle just take pity on me once and give me some joy in living."

"Xiuxiu's thoughts are really a headache."

"Where does it hurt? I'll rub it for you..." She touched his forehead, chest, and waist with her hands, "Here? Here? Here?"

He grabbed her presumptuous hand and said, "Xiuxiu, the fire you set will be extinguished by yourself."

Tu Yuanyi couldn't bear it anymore, he picked him up and went to the bedroom.When a creature like the emperor gets interested, there are those who come here directly in the wilderness, let alone in his own palace.

Passing through the long corridor under the house, the eunuchs and maids did not dare to look more, only the eunuch guarding the bedroom opened the door.

He put people on the bed and lowered the curtains, passionately entangled, conquered cities and plundered land, and enjoyed the most romantic and happy things in the world.

Xing Xiuyan is a talented person, if she convinces herself that she can be a qualified concubine, she is just molesting the emperor, don't give up before she is old.But not only did she put the emperor to sleep until it was dark, but she didn't refuse when he ate some food in the evening and hugged her to sleep again. After sleeping, she didn't wake up until he got up and went to her early.

"How many days has it been?" She asked Tu Yuanyi, pulling Tu Yuanyi.

Tu Yuanyi chuckled: "I want to get up early, what time do you say?"

"It's over, it's over..."

Tu Yuanyi scratched her nose and said with a smile, "Where will your thousand-year-old fairy end?"

She put on her clothes and got up to help him change and wash. Only then did Xing Xiuyan think of the most important thing yesterday.

"Sage, can you let me be Jieyu?" She has used all the techniques of molesting, seducing and attacking the heart, and it is not for nothing that she has watched many novels and TV shows.

Tu Yuanyi said: "Who can be promoted from talented person to Jieyu after two nights in bed?"

Xing Xiuyan couldn't hug her thighs, she could only hug her golden arms, and said, "No way, my concubine should be Jieyu!!"

"Xiuxiu, you have to walk more steadily." Tu Yuanyi said with a smile as his phoenix eyes flickered.

Xing Xiuyan is dissatisfied, she has nothing left, she works hard, is devoted to her job, and he refuses even a slight salary increase.

She said: "What do I need to be stable as a concubine? Living in the present is the real thing. I won't be allowed to be Jieyu during the three-day freshman period, and it will be even harder to have hope in the future."

Tu Yuanyi had a headache and said helplessly, "It's really short-sighted, let me think about it."

……

After Xing Xiuyan "off work", she returned to Luoxia Pavilion early in the morning, and Ziyue, Xue Jue, and Lan Jiu attended to dressing and dressing, and then went to Qifeng Palace to pay her respects at Maoshi.When not "going to work", colleagues and superiors still have to communicate with each other.

Empress Yang looked at the woman in Tsing Yi who was kneeling down to salute. Concubine Wu Ping, Concubine Cui Shun, Li Fangyi, and Zhao Fenyi all looked at this woman with a sharpness that was never there before.

Not to mention Liu Xiaoyi and Shen Xiaoyuan, they are equally favored, they all have one night, and she is alone for two nights.

Empress Yang told her to lie down, and then said: "I didn't know when you came to greet you yesterday. It is said that Mr. Xing stayed overnight in the Taiji Palace bedroom the day before yesterday. Is there such a thing?"

Xing Xiuyan secretly said: Here we come, here we come.

"Reporting to the empress, the concubine was negligent and overslept. The concubine is guilty, please punish the concubine."

Empress Yang didn't know the details of Xing Xiuyan at this time, she always felt uneasy when she saw her yesterday, and asked people to investigate, except that she couldn't hide the fact that she stayed overnight, her origin was not clear.The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no choice but to deliver the news to the natal family for investigation.

In addition, it was found that the Xing family had a friendship with Zhao Gui, the father of Dongchang, which allowed her to receive a lot of care in the palace. The queen didn't know the details, but it was enough to make her angry, because it didn't seem to be under her control within.

Concubine Cui Shun smiled lightly and said: "Empress, my concubine looks at Xing Cairen's frail body, so it is not appropriate to punish him too severely. If the punishment is severe, how can he serve the saint? The empress has always been lenient, so she punished him lightly, that is, gone."

The queen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and was not in a hurry to answer. When she was in the mansion, she was naturally not as good as concubines such as Concubine Ping and Concubine Shun.But since the sage came to the throne, he has been busy with government affairs, indifferent to women's affairs, and he has no favor. The concubines in the palace will never be better than her.In peacetime, branches and leaves can spread, but there have been delays for several years.In recent years, the harem has remained stable, except that this year's general election has brought in a lot of fresh blood, which made the old people in the palace even more disappointed, but at the same time caused a splash in the peaceful harem.

Liu Jingru couldn't hold her breath, and was the first to retort, saying: "The empress is naturally lenient, and the concubine Shun is also kind. But as the saying goes, the country has its laws, and the palace has its rules. Once the palace rules are set, people need to be respected." People abide by it, otherwise it means that the palace will not be peaceful?"

Li Fangyi, who was born in Liangdi, said: "But Xing Cairen didn't do it on purpose. I'm afraid it's because serving the saint is too exhausting, so...he overslept."

Xing Xiuyan stood cautiously in the center, listening to the discussions of the masters about her violation of the palace rules, which was the same as discussing the price of cabbage in a big market.Also, Li Fangyi's words are really interesting, they clearly increase hatred.

Didn't Shen Xiaoyuan just hear this sentence, she couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "What Li Fangyi said is true, Xing Cairen didn't do it on purpose, serving the saint is too exhausting, it is understandable to oversleep."

Concubine Zhou saw that everyone was actively discussing, expressed her sense of presence, and said: "Everyone has some truths in what they say, and it's up to the empress to make up her mind."

Empress Yang was wearing a gold nail cover, she straightened her sleeves lightly, and said: "This is not important, but if it is light, I am afraid that people will ignore the palace rules in the future. Let the respect room remove the sign for a month. Xing Cairen, are you convinced?"

Xing Xiuyan said in a low voice: "Thank you Queen for your kindness, my concubine would like to obey your mother's teaching." She wanted to argue, but she had to think that Queen Yang was asking for her opinion because she had an IQ of less than seventy.

Only then did Empress Yang order the female officer to pass the order to the respect room, and then ordered the concubines to disperse.
