Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

In Chengqian Palace, Mrs. Wan Xu was talking with her daughter. She said that her father and elder brother are now in a decent state. The mansion rewarded by the emperor is big and nice, spacious and spacious. The house is tall and big. If you get lost, there are too many servants around you, and the washbasin is not placed on the shelf, but directly carried by someone.

Wan Zhen'er was happy to hear that, and listened to her while eating roasted chestnuts.Chestnuts can’t be kept, so they are usually made into chestnut powder for preservation. This is the only good part of the preserved chestnuts. Because the empress wants to eat them, she picked them, fried them and peeled them. to the empress. "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, mother, you'll get used to it after you enjoy it for a few more days."

"Amitabha, I am really blessed." Wan Xu smiled from ear to ear, his face was full of joy, and he didn't care that a front tooth was missing and it was leaking. "The emperor is so kind to you. This palace is like the Heavenly Palace. When I came in, the palace people heard that I was your mother, and they were very polite! Your father listened to other people's gossip outside the palace, saying that you dominate the harem, your majesty." You don't even look at other women, is it true?"

"Really~" Wan Zhen'er pursed her lips and couldn't help smiling, she nodded very proudly: "The emperor is very kind to me."

"Oh, is this okay? I also stopped your old father from taking concubines, and then he went to drink flower wine! Now that you have a baby, you can't do anything for several months. The emperor won't change his mind, right? You You have to be prepared, don't put such a tender little girl in front of you."

Mai Mai looked at her mother helplessly, and she said to herself, I'm not a tender little girl!

Wan Zhen'er was startled, laughed loudly, moved her legs, and sat on the throne with a big horse: "Mother, don't worry, the deep friendship between me and the emperor can't be broken by a few little girls." Phew, It was too tiring to pretend to be cute and sit with my legs crossed, so I pushed the fried chestnuts away.

She looked arrogant and complacent, and her sword-like brows were filled with the look of winning.

The maid saw her push away the plate, and immediately two people came over, holding a basin and a towel, and waiting for her to wash her hands.

Wan Xu was happy, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help getting closer: "You let them go down, and I'll tell you a few serious words." Before she could say anything, she blushed.

Wan Niangniang looked around: "Go down and rest, you don't have to wait here anymore. Chestnuts are here for you to eat."

"Thank you, Madam, for the reward." Seven people came out in a file.

Wan Xu got up and walked to her side: "Zhen'er, what can you do to serve the emperor in the palace?"

Wan Zhen'er didn't quite understand: "Huh? It's nothing more than food and daily life, clothes, shoes and socks."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Mrs. Wan was a little shy, blushing and said: "At night, I heard that there are many rules in the palace, women are not allowed to be on top, and they say that is called the world upside down. Is there such a saying?"

Wan Zhen'er looked shocked: "Uh, no, the emperor is not yet married, no one taught him this, it all depends on groping."

"Oh my god! The emperor has to get married? To marry the emperor's wife?"

Wan Zhen'er was a little unhappy: "The Queen Mother and the courtiers are planning this, and the emperor is not going to listen to their arrangements."

"Pregnancy is very hard, it is the most pitiful time. If you and the emperor complain and act like a baby, maybe the emperor will be able to make you a queen."

"No way. Empress Dowager Zhou, the emperor's biological mother, she doesn't like me, and the emperor doesn't like her." Wan Zhen'er stared at a plum vase made in Zhengtong years, narrowed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I've been a little disgusted these days, and I dare not show it. If the emperor sees my hard pregnancy, think of how hard it was when the Empress Dowager Zhou gave birth to him... He has a soft temper, a soft heart and a kind heart. If he appreciates his mother's kindness If the Empress Dowager Zhou gets complacent, she will drive me to death."

Yu Qian, who was researching the subject of 'foreign relatives', was taken aback by the side, not expecting her to think so far.Ordinary women only know how to compete for favor and make money, but she thinks so long-term, hey.This is really Zhou's misfortune.

Your Majesty, cheer up!Even your favorite concubine knows that you are soft and kind!Don't always moan when things happen!

A little regal, okay?

Wan Xu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it is not difficult at all to tell the emperor, and it doesn't hurt too much. Well, those women who cry and wipe their tears are all deceitful. Is your mother-in-law complaining?"

"Not only complaining, but also crying poor! Tsk, when she was first favored by the first emperor, I was already serving the Empress Dowager in the palace, who am I to fool. She is alive and well, the rewards from the palace, the servants assigned, Nurses have account books to check."

Mrs. Wan Xu repeatedly applauded, and passed on some experiences of the mother-in-law, such as "in front of her son, she must be very filial and considerate, and be lazy behind her back", "cry before going to bed when you are wronged", "don't be behind your back" Say bad things about my mother-in-law, don't say anything good, just one word is enough.

Yu Qian is a very serious person, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Wan Xu said in a low voice again: "When you are pregnant with a baby, there are a few nasty tricks... chest... mouth... you think about it yourself, you understand what the emperor thinks."

Wan Zhen'er's eyes widened, her face was full of surprise, she lowered her head and squeezed her chest, but she still didn't think much about it.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor seriously asked the elders about prenatal education.

There are not many people who are qualified to be summoned by the emperor to discuss matters. There are a dozen of them in total. The cabinet bosses in the front row have frost stains on their temples and gray beards. People who can only sit in this position have to be busy with official duties all day long. Even if their wives are pregnant, they have no time to participate in prenatal education.

They did not expect the emperor to ask such a question.Looking at each other and communicating with each other with eyes, there is a little happiness in the eyes. Fortunately, we read a lot.

Some people also think that the Wan family is so favored, no less than the Sun Guifei (Empress Dowager) back then. If the Wan family can really give birth to a son, it must be the prince!Thinking that this is really the prenatal education of the prince, the ministers began to search their brains to recall the prenatal education mentioned in the ancient books they had read. My God, they didn’t memorize it carefully!

"The "Book of Changes" says: 'According to the foundation, everything is physical. A slight loss is a thousand miles away.' Therefore, a gentleman is cautious...Phoenixes are born with the meaning of benevolence and righteousness, tigers and wolves are born with a heart of greed and brutality, the two are incompatible Wait, each with its own mother..."

"The concubine of the Zhou Dynasty was pregnant and became a king in her body. She stood without limping, sat without being slack, was alone without being shy, and was angry but not shy. This is what is called prenatal education."

Only the correct manners of the mother can ensure the correct character of the children bred.

They also quoted many stories about virtuous descendants who gave birth to Mingjun.

"Compared to March, if the sound the queen seeks is not ritual and music, the grand master caresses it and says she is not used to it; the taste she seeks is not proper taste, the Taizai relies on fighting and does not dare to fry it, so it is said that he dare not treat the crown prince. .”

The emperor listened very carefully, and took notes to 'eat well, eat well, listen to music, behave decently, and don't make her angry'.He has the heart to ask if pregnant women can... forget it... you are too serious to ask this question.Let the fox fairy talk about it at night.

Zhu Jianshen raised a provocative question: "I intend to make the Wan family the empress, what do you love?"

Ji Heng, who didn't like to be nosy, said: "This is His Majesty's family business."

Opposition Peng Shi: "The empress is the lord of the harem, the prince of the country, and the mother of the world. How can you talk about family affairs?"

The flattering sect Zong Huairen: "Wan Niangniang is honored and favored by the sage, she must be a well-behaved, virtuous and loving person." Wait, is the word "love" used too early?

Peng Shi: "It's enough honor to serve you as a court lady!"

Zong Huairen said: "How about the current Empress Dowager?" Empress Sun is a palace maid → concubine → imperial concubine → empress → empress dowager → empress dowager.

Another sycophant: "Exactly."

Peng Shi stifled, and saw that the emperor's face was not very good-looking, so he could only say: "Mr. Empress Dowager gave birth to a prince and made him the prince." What do you think she is doing!Xuanmiao later regretted it!This is not a good example!

Another opponent, Wang Xia: "The former emperor once had a will to choose the queen from the Wu family and the Wang family."

The emperor went over enthusiastically: "The late emperor's last edict is not just a sentence or two. Do you hope that I will obey it no matter what is right or wrong?"

Wang Xia called Leng Deng directly and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

Zhu Jianshen was gearing up, showing a happy smile: "Okay, take Wang Xia as the envoy, and move Concubine Liu Jing into the imperial mausoleum to be buried with her father."

Wang Xia was hit hard [HP -5], and she knelt down with a bang: "Please take back your orders, Your Majesty, I am reckless."

Li Xian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't be so reckless."

Don't make trouble, I know you are young, but you are the emperor, you can't be willful.

Zhu Jianshen sat behind the Longshu table and giggled.

Ji Heng suddenly said: "Mistress Wan is pregnant now and cannot serve the emperor. Please the emperor choose Liang Yuan as a concubine to enrich the harem."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees!"

Zhu Jianshen's face was flushed, panting with excitement, and clenched his fists: "Everyone loves you, loves you, do you want to harm me?"

"Uh?"

"I dare not."

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

"Please speak clearly, Your Majesty."

Zhu Jianshen complained about the case: "In ancient times, the faint kings all abandoned the government because of their obsession with women and women's sex."

The ministers laughed at that time: "Didn't the emperor hear that he gave up eating because of choking?"

"In ancient times, Ming Jun also had many concubines, but he could only advance and retreat." Hun Jun only played in the harem all day long, and Ming Jun only arranged for favor at night!

"Could it be that the emperor dotes on Wan Niangniang alone, isn't he obsessed with women?"

Zhu Jianshen was dumbfounded, why did I only think this was a good excuse at the time, but I didn't expect these answers to refute me?Immediately throw out the second reason: "Father and uncle, father, why did they die so short? It's all because of lust"

The ministers used "Li Shimin also has many concubines" "there are many people in the harem of Lord Hongwu and Lord Yongle!" ' in answer.

This is an unassailable answer.

Fortunately, Zhu Jianshen also prepared a third reason.
