Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

What does the Empress Dowager Zhou want to do?Are you planning a conspiracy?Was it plotting to kill someone?What are the wives summoned by her going to do?Is it just to advise the Queen Mother?Is it because the concubine colluded with the outer court?Oh, it turned out to be my negligence. The queen mother can't give orders directly to the ministers, but can only send messages through the eunuchs. I thought that as long as the eunuchs are well organized, I can intercept the news she wants to send out.

I never imagined that the queen mother could summon the wife, and the wife could go back and talk to her son and husband.Isn't this fucking a clothes belt edict!

Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants the Imperial Academy to submit a memorial to impeach me as a demon concubine who has harmed the country and the people?

Could it be that Zhou Dalian threatened the power of public opinion and forced the emperor to marry the queen?

Could it be that Zhou Dalian wants to collude with the outside world and try to interfere in politics?Jianshen is wise and powerful, with a weak appearance but a firm heart, how can she hold her hostage?

Or is it that she is running around like a chicken without a head as in the past, but Ben Gong thinks too much?

Wan Zhen'er had a very headache, she suddenly found that she couldn't guess what Zhou Dalian was thinking.Only when opponents meet good talents can they guess each other, and when heroes cherish heroes, can they cherish each other.

Straight girl thief!Bengong really can't figure out what kind of evil plans are in the mind of that silly woman and romantic little widow!It doesn't matter whether she has an idea or not!

Apart from giving birth to a son, she has nothing to redeem her!

Nanny Gao and Nanny Lin persuaded each other one by one: "Your Majesty calm down, it's important to take care of your phoenix's body."

"Depending on what the Empress Dowager Zhou has in mind, it is the emperor who is in charge of the front court and the harem. You can be the emperor's master, empress."

"That's right, the Queen Mother Zhou has been in the palace all these years, and she has never done anything by allowing her servants to say something presumptuous."

"Your Majesty, don't eat it, it hurts your stomach to eat when you are angry."

Wan Zhen'er suppressed her anger, and said with emotion: "It's nothing, whoever the Empress Dowager wants to summon is the Empress Dowager's favor, what can I say?"

Everyone is obsessed with it.

Wan Zhen'er glanced at her Chengqian Palace. The floor was covered with thick and soft Persian carpets. The goldfish bowl in the house was the porcelain bowl of Yuan blue and white Sanying and Lv Bu. On the shelf were some Zhou Ding and Han Yu, Tang Jian and Song pots, full of extravagance. .

The tortoiseshell fan in her hand shook slightly: "It was the same group of people a few days ago, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

The maid next to him brought jade cups and silver bowls.

Wan Zhen'er picked up the jade cup, rinsed her mouth, and spit the water into the silver bowl. The mung bean soup added a lot of rock sugar, which was delicious but not good for teeth.He took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "When did those two women say that the emperor will be discouraged by the officials? Was it yesterday or today."

"It's today, just now."

"Okay, that's great." Wan Zhen'er sneered: "Two mothers, please wait at the Xihua Gate, and stop those wives and bring them here."

"Your Majesty wants to give them a blow?"

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Mai, what are the characteristics of these wives?"

Mai Mai was a little ashamed: "Mother, the palace people in Kangning Palace are not very smart, they don't care about these things."

Wan Zhen'er nodded slightly: "Go, ask the imperial physician to come over. I feel that the child is moving." Of course the child will move, often, and occasionally practice boxing in her stomach.

She went back to the house and lay on the mat, resting her legs on the bamboo lady who was covered with soft cloth, the maid was beside her gently fanning the wind, the breeze whizzed under her legs, it was so comfortable!

The two nuns are scolding mothers in the doorway of Xihuamen, it's a hot day!Although the doorway is cooler than the sun outside, but the main hall of Chengqian Palace, the tall and wide main hall is even cooler!

"These damned old whores!"

"Talky old godmother! But they can talk when they have a long mouth! They should be stuffed with horse manure!"

Those bonsai that cannot be exposed to the sun but must be blown are placed under the eaves, densely packed in two rows.

The big lotus vat exudes a delicate fragrance, the lotus leaves stretch out more and more in the sun, and the lotus flowers seem to become redder and more fragrant as they get hotter.

In the room, she could smell the fragrance mixed with jasmine, Wan Zhen'er suddenly said: "Eat lotus leaf porridge at night."

"Your Majesty, the lotus leaf is cold in nature, the imperial doctor said that you should use it with caution."

"Okay." Wan Zhen'er said, "Then let's make steamed pork with lotus leaf powder."

"..."

"Your Majesty, lotus leaves are cold in nature, can I replace them with mint? Steamed pork with mint powder."

Wan Zhen'er thought about the taste, and it was terrible: "Mint porridge and tamales, don't mix them together."

"Yes, ma'am."

After she gave the order, she closed her eyes and continued to rest, intending to go to bed early, when she missed and revisited the candied haws in her heart, and revisited the third candied haws and the fourth frozen persimmon.

"Ma'am, the imperial physician is here."

Wan Zhen'er brushed her hair: "Get ready, let them check the pulse."

Huanghuali Qiangong painted gold and Sugong Babu put down the light lake blue Baizi picture curtain hanging on the bed, and placed four embroidered piers near the door, and the maid went to pour a basin of hot water.

Only a voice was heard from a distance: "Please, doctor."

The sound of light footsteps came in one after another, and the old doctors said: "My mother, a thousand years and a long life."

Wan Zhen'er's voice is quiet and elegant—it's too thick, no matter how quiet it is, at most it looks like a literati, not like a gentle woman. "In the hot summer, please come here. Please have a cup of herbal tea and wipe off your sweat."

The old doctors have long been used to the good treatment here, this place is different from the two queen mothers.After thanking their seats, they sat on the embroidered pier and drank a cup of warm herbal tea. They wiped the sweat from their foreheads and hands with hot handkerchiefs, recovering from the hot dizziness.

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for a pulse check."

"it is good."

Wan Niangniang wore a thin silk handkerchief on her wrist with the jade bracelet, and the thin calluses on her palms were not too obvious under the cover of the handkerchief.

The four imperial physicians took turns to check the pulse. Judging from the pulse, the empress is in good health. Judging from the thickness of her wrists, the empress can ride a fast horse, draw a strong bow, and tear tigers and leopards with her hands.

The book implies that a person's arm strength can be seen from the thickness of the wrist. The stronger the person, the thicker the wrist, not only the thickness of muscles and tendons, but also the thickness of bones.When it comes to heroes in storytelling, it refers to fists as big as casserole pots and wrists as thick as bowl mouths. Although this is an exaggeration, it is not unreasonable.The bones will become thicker due to the force, of course, the extent of the thickening is different, especially in the joints, so the joints of heavy manual laborers are thicker than ordinary people.Weak scholars and delicate young ladies all have arms as slender as bamboo poles, and the wrist of Wan Niangniang's jade hand is thicker than that of an imperial physician who farmed fields when she was a child, and used sacks of medicinal materials in her youth.

The imperial doctors peeked at the bulging blood vessels on her wrist: "What's wrong with your mother?"

"The baby moved suddenly, and I hurt a little. I was a little angry just now."

"Your Majesty's pulse condition is peaceful, her fetal gas is stable, and there is nothing serious."

"Yes, my pulse is very healthy."

Wan Zhen'er said slowly, "I've been feeling dizzy and drowsy for the past few days."

"It's all normal. The fetus sleeps soundly all day long. It's the so-called mother-child connection."

and a bunch of jargon.

Wan Zhen'er said again: "I've been very greedy recently, but I don't have any appetite, and I get stuck eating sweets. What's the reason?"

Of course the imperial physicians had an explanation.

He talked about a lot of medical theories in a leisurely manner, and Wan Zhen'er seemed to understand and half understood.

……

In the Kangning Palace, the wives saw that Mrs. Zhou was tired, so they planned to get up and say goodbye. "Empress Dowager, we should go."

"Yes, ma'am, don't delay your afternoon nap."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was about to doze off, nodded, and complained a few more words: "You said, is that Wan Zhen'er arrogant? Relying on the emperor's pampering her, relying on the old to sell the old, and not coming to serve me, a serious mother-in-law, hmph, what is it?" .”

The wives thought of their less filial daughters-in-law and things like women's virtues and women's rings, and they all felt that Concubine Wan was too much.

Zhou Dalian: "After you go back, talk about it carefully. If the emperor can marry the queen, the benefits of you will be indispensable."

Mrs. Wang Shangshu: "Ahem, ahem, thank you, Empress Dowager, Long En."

Mrs. Lu's face was upright: "How can there be an unworthy concubine by the emperor's side! It is the duty of a courtier to persuade the emperor."

Mrs. Li didn't say anything, she agreed vaguely.

Not long after, we went out together.

Facing the scorching sun at noon, when he walked to Xihua Gate, he was already sweating slightly, and the makeup on his face was all spent.Among these wives, only Mrs. Shangshu is the oldest, and the other "old ladies" are only about 40 years old.

Just as they were about to leave the palace gate, two old nuns, one tall and one short, led seven or eight people to stop their way: "Who are the wives who are going to the Kangning Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager Zhou?"

"It's us."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Why are you blocking our way?"

"Which palace are you two aunts?"

Nanny Gao raised her chin: "Mistress Wan of Chengqian Palace invites you to come over."

"what?"

"This……"

These old ladies had just accompanied the Queen Mother to speak ill of Wan Niangniang for a long time, and when they heard that Wan Niangniang invited them, they inevitably felt anxious.You look at me, I look at you, speechless for a while.

I dare not say no, what if Wan Niangniang blows the pillow wind and asks the emperor to wear small shoes for her son?Want to talk about it?He was also afraid that his peers would think that he was bullying the weak and that the strong would follow his power, so they all waited for someone to take the lead and agree.They all knew they had to go, but they didn't want to let themselves agree.

Nanny Gao's complexion was even uglier, she was flushed with heat, and the redness was black: "What? Wan Niangniang can't please you?"

The witty Mrs. Wang Shangshu said in a hoarse voice; "cough, cough, cough, cough, please ask Madam Wan to report back. The concubine feels hot and cold, so I dare not go. I am afraid that I will get sick. Cough, cough, cough." , I can’t talk too much cough cough cough cough. After the concubine recovers from illness, I will go to the palace to pay respects to the empress cough cough cough.” Turning his head, he said: “You guys go.”

The imperial court is divided into six departments, each of which has a minister, and each minister has a wife.

Even the nanny couldn't figure out their details, so she couldn't say lightly: "Mrs. Wang, why did you come into the palace even though you were sick?"

Mrs. Wang Shangshu said gloomily: "The empress dowager sent someone to invite her, I dare not not come, cough cough cough." I don't need to please the queen mother, my husband is Shangshu!As long as he does things in a stable manner, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet. I am different from these little women who are eager for quick success.
