Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Concubine Wu Xian led a child into the palace. She said it was Concubine Xian, but she actually lived in the eunuch's mansion outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang wore realgar yellow beaded longevity patterns on her forehead, a stone-blue long jacket, a sandalwood-colored jade rabbit-pounded medicine horse-face skirt, and black-colored treasure-faced flowers and silver buttons. She was holding a yellow cypress tree Dragon head crutches.

Empress Sun stood beside her and served her. She wore a purple forehead with emerald green on her head, an ermine gray and dark flower jacket on her upper body, a black square collar with gold sunflower buckle and a bijia, and a blue quilted skirt on her lower body. A linen mourning dress, with a string of Buddhist beads twisted in his hand.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cross-examined the Duke of England together: "Who offered the concubine Wu Xian outside the palace?"

The Duke of England replied below, and he felt very bitter: "In the first year of Xuande, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, lured the meritorious officials to serve as internal support, and secretly sent people to the residence of the minister at night. The minister caught him and reported to His Majesty, and found out the truth behind Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion. Evidence. Your Majesty first ordered Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, to go to the conquest, but Yang Rong, a scholar, persuaded your Majesty to go to the conquest. Your Majesty decided to go to the conquest and ordered his servants to follow. That Concubine Wu Xian was originally a member of the palace of the Han Dynasty."

Empress Sun held grudges in her heart, a "palace man" could be brought back to Beijing with the emperor's heart, hid outside the palace, often had trysts with her, and would never forget it when she was dying, she must be very beautiful!Everyone knows that concubines can also be considered palace servants!

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't say anything. What else can I say about my son's last wish before he died? My son knows that Empress Sun is very jealous. You can't fight against the palace wall, and now that His Majesty has passed away, you can't fight anymore.Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Let the unborn concubines be buried with them, and those who have given birth to children are unnecessary."

In the full harem, only Empress Hu Fei gave birth to two daughters, Empress Sun gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Concubine Wu Xian gave birth to a son outside the palace.

Empress Sun nodded: "It's all up to the queen mother to decide."

Guo Shouren was trembling beside him, whether the eunuch was buried or not depended on the words of the two empresses.He wanted to ask for a way out of life, but he couldn't open his mouth. Asking for survival would be disloyal, and if he didn't open his mouth, life and death would be uncertain.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Zhang Shouyi said in a low voice, "Old Guo, if you go, I will definitely recite the mantra for you [-] times."

Guo Shouren wiped the corners of his eyes that were wet and about to freeze: "Old Zhang, please pray for a better life for me."

Yang Shiqi sent two alternative temple names, and a large list of alternative posthumous titles.

Due to well-known reasons, the voice-over spoiler: Emperor Daxing decided on the temple name Xuanzong, posthumously titled Emperor Xiantian, Taoist, wise, holy, Qin Wenzhao, Wu Kuanren, Pure Xiaozhang.The ten years of Xuande ended as soon as it started, and it was changed to orthodoxy.

Concubine Wu Xian was stuffed into the harem casually, and her son, who was only one year younger than the crown prince, also lived with her.

All the maids and eunuchs in the palace were worried. When the founding emperor Hongwu died, all the concubines were buried, and the concubines who had given birth to children were not spared. Only one beauty Zhang was saved from death because her daughter was too young. As for the concubines who served him The court ladies and eunuchs were also buried.

Lord Yongle buried 36 concubines and some court ladies, but the court ladies are insignificant, no one mentions them except the old nuns in the palace.

Mammy Zhu chatted with people while stacking gold ingots: "I don't know how many people will be buried this time."

"Yes, there are not many of our old sisters who are still alive in the palace."

Grandma Zhu sighed: "I'm already old, so I'm not afraid to be buried by Your Majesty. I can bless future generations if I die. I'm afraid that the person who chooses to be buried will not be able to choose me." "Chaotian female households", descendants have a hundred households of Jinyiwei that have been passed down from generation to generation.

"Hey, old sister, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so why worry about it?"

"The British old lady in front fainted from crying, and the empress dowager ordered her to be carried to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to recuperate."

"Recently, there are fewer and fewer lunches in the imperial dining room."

"I heard that it was to support the civil and military officials and imperial orders who entered the palace to cry."

"Why, why is there no food in the palace? Is the brown rice and wheat noodles we eat the same?"

"It's not the same, but there are plenty of stoves in the imperial dining room, and the firewood is not enough. Let's do what they do."

"Did you say that our empress will also move to the Palace of Compassion?"

"Although the Compassionate Palace is quite big, it can't accommodate the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. We will live in a smaller place in the future."

Now the prince has not officially ascended the throne, and the title of the empress dowager has not changed.

"It stands to reason that we will only move out when the prince gets married, and give up the Kunning Palace to the new queen. Hey! The prince is only eight years old, and he has to observe mourning for three years, and a few more years. What do we want to do? Maybe the empress can send some People go to serve the prince."

"That's true." Mammy Zhu looked at Wan Zhen'er beside her. She was holding a piece of yellow paper, and she hadn't folded a gold ingot until now. "No, it's not like this. You watch me and learn step by step." The prince was very interested in you before, and he may ask you to serve him in the future. You look good, the queen mother and empress, and the future queen The empress is not worried about you inviting pets and flattery in front of the emperor.

Wan Zhen'er is very sad, she can't wear a beautiful tiger head hat now, she can only wear an old black felt hat, the old felt hat is a bit big, sometimes it will be blown away by the wind, the moment the hat floats up, the winter It feels super cold when the cold wind hits the head!

Only a bald head can understand the feeling of the cold wind blowing on the scalp. Although the clothes on the body are warm, I still feel the chill directly pouring into the body from the top of the head.

The cries of the crying spirit in front were loud and earth-shattering, but they were all dignified figures, even if the steward of the Qing Palace had no place to kneel and cry, they could only kneel and serve behind the prince.Zhang Shouyi also knelt beside the queen to serve, and he didn't have the status of a crying spirit, let alone these old nuns and little maids. They just stacked paper ingots in the harem and sent them to the front for burning three times a day.

Paper kraft paper horses, paper palaces and paper luanjias for serious decorations, paper boys and girls, rockery flowers, magic soldiers and generals, jade girls and colorful girls are all made by a color-stitching shop in the capital that specializes in funeral affairs, and the paper is lifelike.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the ministers go to court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as a symbol of the beginning of the new year.

The crown prince has not formally ascended the throne, and now the empress dowager is behind the curtain to listen to the government, leading the crown prince who supervises the country, these things have nothing to do with Wan Zhen'er.

The empress dowager is about to be promoted to the empress dowager, and there is no change except for the title change.

What is related to Wan Zhen'er is that there is no meat for breakfast and dinner, and there is not much oil.With a mournful face, she sat with Madam Zhu and a dozen other palace maids. In front of her was a pot of stewed tofu with radish vermicelli and a bowl of fried pickles with sesame oil. The stir-fry was very salty, and even two chili peppers had no spiciness at all. There are steamed buns in a bucket, steamed a little raw.

Wan Zhen'er held her face sincerely, and gnawed on the particularly unpalatable steamed bun: "It would be fine if His Majesty was still here."

She rested her chin in one hand, and felt that her face was thinner, thinner from hunger!

The maids also remembered chicken, duck and fish as if they were vivid in their minds. The lunch and dinner of His Majesty and Empress consisted of more than a dozen big dishes, and all the leftovers were given to the maids every day.How delicious that is!

The rouge you just bought has to be kept in filial piety for three years in the palace, and you can't use rouge powder. After three years, the color will not be beautiful.

Freshly fried gold and silver jewelry, after three years of storage, they will become dim again.

They all shed tears together: "Yes."

Wan Zhen'er picked up a piece of shredded pickled vegetables. This thing is really free and can be described as "official salt does not cost money". She hurriedly stuffed two mouthfuls of steamed buns and took a sip of clear water.

When Wang Shanggong pushed the door and entered, he saw them weeping, as if they didn't know what to eat: "Why are you crying?"

Everyone got up quickly to make way for Shang Gong, wiped the chairs with their sleeves, and asked Shang Gong to sit down.

Wang Shanggong was very happy: "Don't cry, the two ladies have made up their minds to let only the unborn concubines be buried with them, and the sixteen maids and twenty young eunuchs in Qianqing Palace don't need to be buried with them. , sent to the temple to chant scriptures and pray for His Majesty, and Lord Guo stayed to serve the new king. Don’t spread the news when you hear the news, the palace people of Qianqing Palace don’t know the news yet.” That’s great, if it’s passed, even I Possibly buried.

Everyone praised: "Our empress is so kind!"

"The Empress must be the Empress Guanyin who descended into the world!"

"Amitabha, that's great!"

Wan Zhen'er was terrified: "Do you want the maid to be buried with you?" She has never even heard of the funeral of a concubine—Wan Gui thinks that with the heroic posture of my daughter's sword eyebrows and starry eyes (with N filters added) Well, the emperor didn't like her, and the prince didn't like her either, so he didn't tell her.As for the burial of the palace maids, Wan Gui knew about it, but no one expected the emperor to die so quickly.

Wang Shanggong glanced at the silly kid, and didn't bother to say anything, she was very tired recently. "You all should be more careful, the empress is upset, don't make any mistakes. If you are clumsy, don't move forward, be careful."

Everyone said: "Remember."

"Thank you, Sister Shanggong."

"Sister Wang has worked hard."

Doctor Guanglu, Zuo Zhuguo, and Zhang Fu, Duke of England.In the tenth year of Xuande, Prince Zhu Qizhen came to the throne.Zhang Fu, who was named Yilian, was a meritorious official, and he was still in charge of the banquet and the memoir of supervision.

The chubby emperor lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he lost weight every day he saw it.

Every day, he and the Queen Mother went down to court, and they all came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother Sun, and the two of them talked in the room.

Zhang Shouyi saw that Guo Shouren was still the steward of the Kunning Palace, but he was on the same court as Jin Ying and Wang Zhen, who were the prince's confidantes.He was a little worried: "Old Guo, you should be careful."

Guo Shouren's face turned blue with anger: "Wang Zhen is already the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies."

Zhang Shouyi said softly: "We are not as good as others. If we can understand the scriptures a little bit, be full of knowledge, and later become instructors, are we willing to eunuch ourselves and enter the palace?"

Guo Shouren was indignant: "Having studied for a few years and being able to write, is that great? Back then, if our family had three to five catties of surplus food, we would send our son to school. Our family is no worse than him!"

Zhang Shouyi said: "What's the use of saying this, our family sees that Wang Zhen is not a good guy, but Jin Ying is not bad. He also believes in Buddhism."

Guo Shouren: "If you believe in Buddhism, you are a good person? If you had become a rich man outside the palace with your temper, you would have been deceived and ruined your fortune long ago."

"This is fate." Zhang Shouyi said with a smile: "If our family does not enter the palace, it will be strange if we can earn money."

Our family, Jin Ying, looked at the door, and then smiled and said uninvited: "What are you two talking about?"

He is about 40 years old now, but the eunuch has no beard and looks very young: "Mr. Wang's handwriting is good, the Holy One loves him, and let him be the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and Bingbi. What can we say about it. Mr. Guo, we I would like to treat you to tea."

Guo Shouren pondered for a moment, then laughed: "Master Jin invites you, how dare Guo refuse to obey?"

Zhang Shouyi: "Amitabha, the two masters help each other and benefit each other. It is a serious matter to serve His Majesty well together."

You two join hands, you may not be able to defeat that dead eunuch!We are all eunuchs, why do you, Wang Zhen, secretly look down on our family!
