Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Two big balls rolled around on the bank, and after a closer look, they realized that they were the emperor and Wan Niangniang.

There are many trees near the two huge lakes of Zhonghai and Nanhai, as well as rockeries and gardens, but none of these things can stop the howling north wind, which whizzes in with heavy snow.Anyone who has experienced winter in the north knows that the city is warmer than the outside, and it is warmer in the wind-shielding yard than in the alley, because of the wind, the continuous strong wind and cold wind, the cold wind is like a knife.

The three large lakes next to the Imperial City are as big as two Forbidden City, the wind howls wantonly on the flat lake surface, without shelter, crazily and happily accelerating.

The two balls looked up together: "Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloom."

"The vast sea is surrounded by hundreds of feet of ice, and the gloomy clouds are gloomy and condensed."

They looked at each other and squeezed each other, even if they were hugging, they didn't hold hands because they didn't want to take off their gloves.

The two of them were dressed in the same way. They wore a rabbit fur mop close to the body, wrapped the chest, abdomen and waist, and then wore a thick quilted jacket and trousers, a cotton jacket and cotton trousers, and a red knitted fabric with an ermine lining. Jin Yesa was covered with a bearskin cloak. Thanks to the looseness of the bearskin cloak, it was almost impossible to tie it on now.He also tied leggings on the trouser legs to prevent the wind under his feet, and stuffed all the trouser legs into the leather warm boots that wrapped his calves.

He wore a sable hat on his head, his face was surrounded by brocade several times, and he wore thick and large gloves on his hands.

The one on the left looks like Doraemon, and the one on the right looks like Michelin.

Both of them wore a pair of golden longevity hairpins with multiple treasures on their heads, and two big red silk flowers were inserted on the hats. To meet the occasion, Wan Zhener also wore a special-shaped pearl hairpin on her hair. The special-shaped pearls looked like peaches. Next to it is a small peach blossom strung with coral beads, and five peach leaves carved from emeralds.

Zhu Jianshen twisted his waist to the left and to the right: "How is it? It's not cold at all."

"Well, the whole body is warm, if you don't wear one more piece." Wan Zhen'er thought that although it is not cold, it is very tiring to walk!He lowered his head and looked at his legs, um, such thick thighs, a pair of big, big feet.

"Just listen to me." Zhu Jianshen stomped his feet: "You are in the harem, either in the house, or there are walls around to block the wind. You don't know how cold it is outside. Every time when Yumen is in charge of politics, I hate you. You can't have a leather face towel or leather glasses to block yourself firmly."

In winter, it is miserable for the imperial gate to listen to the government. The emperor can hold the hand stove in his hands and wrap his neck with a thick three-layer high collar, but he must show his face. The cold wind blows on his flesh. On the small face, the frozen double chin was stiff.The emperor considered himself an expert in icy and snow survival.

The eunuchs led the horses and walked about once on the ice to make sure that everything on the ice was frozen solid.In fact, it doesn't make much sense. Everyone knows that during the three or nine days of heavy snowfall, even the wells will be covered with thin ice, and the lake will be frozen solid.But the son of a daughter can't sit still, and the emperor's safety must be valued.

Now I can see the shape of the wind, the wind blows the snow, against the gloomy sky, sometimes thick, sometimes light, the underworld with thick snow is the underworld where the wind gathers.

Zhu Jianshen raised his two-round thick arm with great effort, and pointed with a doraemon-like finger: "Look! Whirlwind!"

The whirlwind rolled the snow, and it was very clear.

Wan Zhen'er: "It really looks like a white dragon!"

"Ah, yes, yes! You said how cold it is in that place. If someone is there, will he be rolled up?"

"Yes, I will let them hide in a while."

"When will this snow continue?"

The eunuchs came to the emperor with an ice bed. The ice bed was not actually a bed, but two long iron bars were installed under a big wooden board to support the bed. The person standing in the corner poked the ice hard with a penny. Hold on, the ice bed is like a bamboo raft, and it slides away for a long distance.

A group of eunuchs surrounded the emperor and empress on the ice bed. The ice bed used by the emperor was of course unusual, and a big throne was placed on the bed.

It is a pity that this throne is prepared for the emperor alone.

Zhu Jianshen tried his best to move to the side: "Come, my concubine, sit beside me."

Two fat balls squeezed together on the throne, and the armrests held the two of them firmly - because this was a chair prepared for the emperor alone.

Wan Zhen'er said leisurely, "It's so warm."

Yes, it's warmer huddled together, it's almost hot to sweat.

Two eunuchs stood behind the emperor's throne, holding long bamboo poles with iron spear heads in their hands.Wynn looked to the side, glanced at the ice bed specially prepared for the empress, and said to himself that the emperor is really loving and inseparable.

"Your Majesty, do you want to drive?"

Zhu Jianshen tried his best to stretch his arms, the chair loosened up a little, and waved his hands: "Let's go!"

As soon as the two eunuchs promised, the bamboo pole touched the ice surface, and the ice bed flew out like an arrow from the string, fast and steady.

There were also a group of court ladies and eunuchs sitting on another ice bed with their legs crossed, following behind the emperor.

The cold wind immediately became more violent.

Zhu Jian covered his mouth deeply: "Oh oh oh oh~ so fast~ I'm going to fly hahaha~"

Wan Zhen'er: "Hahahahaha~ It's fun!"

The two of them left behind screaming, had fun on the ice, and got off the ice bed when they reached the center of the lake.

I saw a thick layer of ice with cracks on it. A rough look showed that the ice was a foot thick.

In some places, the snow is rolled away, and the ice surface can be seen. The ice is frozen well, and it is transparent like a piece of glass. Through the thick ice surface, red carp can be seen swimming in the water.

The two Chubby Balls squatted down, huddled together to discuss why the water under the ice wouldn't freeze, and squatted on the ground laughingly, making snow balls and throwing them at each other. Wan Zhen'er took two steps forward while squatting, Slip, fall forward, and slap on the ground QTZ.

"Hahaha" The emperor reached out to help her up, but he lost his balance and sat on the ground.

Wan Zhen'er: "Hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

To add a digression, at this moment, Yu Qian was dismantling the steam engine in the house on the top of Taihang Mountain, and the golden incense fire was continuously floating towards him from all directions.Just in time for the Chinese New Year, the threshold of the Yugong Temple by the West Lake has been stepped down, and the large stone incense burner of the Yugong Temple in the capital has been inserted into a hedgehog.

And the Empress Dowager Sun was in the Palace of Compassion, hugging the yelling eldest prince and chatting with her natal relatives, talking about some interesting things in the capital.

Uncle Jizong of Huichang is the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager. He also thought of old age and kinship, so he and his younger brother brought their wives and children into the palace to celebrate the New Year with the Empress Dowager.Talking about some things about the dignitaries in the palace, he suddenly said: "The Sun family is of the same family, the eldest son is a marquis, and the next ones are all high-ranking officials. More than [-] descendants are all officials. The ministers deeply feel the honor of the emperor of the three dynasties, and the ministers are sick. Shen is ill, intends to resign and return home, I don't know what the empress will do?"

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Well, what are you doing now?"

"The emperor ordered his ministers to supervise the [-]th Regiment Battalion and the [-]th Army Battalion, and manage the lectures for the emperor, and supervise the compilation of "Qinzong Veritable Records."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "It's the New Year, so I shouldn't have said these things. But what is our family's contribution to the country, conferring these official titles indiscriminately. The prosperity of things will decline, and once you are convicted, the Ai family can't cover it. The body of the Ai family Every day is not as good as every day, I think you will be able to meet your deceased husband very soon, your honor is only the emperor's dynasty, from now on, you all have to study, improve your family, cultivate yourself, and be devoted to your duties."

The Empress Dowager Zhou had a secret discussion in the palace with two wives and a woman who was not qualified to enter the palace. There was no servant left in the palace, only she was sitting in the gloomy and depressing main hall. In the middle, say these secret things that are not known to outsiders.

Fourth Sister Wen squatted in the air watching the giraffe, and said to the people around her, "This thing is the legendary unicorn."

"It's so cute. The neck is so long. Do you think the bone in his neck is just a nine-jointed whip?"

"It makes sense, let's see."

"Uh……"

"Looks delicious!"

Wen Si nodded approvingly: "It looks delicious, it may be too old to be eaten roasted. Horse meat is suitable for stewing. Look at me like this. I have never eaten it since I got my own horse. It’s horse meat. It would be too much to kill a giraffe.”

The group of gods she was following never hunted, and...she looked at about four giraffes as tall as Wensi, and murmured in her heart that it would be a waste if it didn't taste good.

"Wait a little longer, after the lion kills the giraffe, let's cut a piece of meat."

Ruiming made a calculation: "Go 150 miles to the southwest and there you will be. Go quickly."

Wen Si's spirit was lifted, and he immediately took out a bowl, put light soy sauce, five-spice powder, pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, chili powder, all in the bowl, and stirred them evenly as marinade ingredients , suddenly remembered something: "Reverend Bilu, give me garlic."

Bi Lu threw out a lump of garlic in disgust: "The taste of raw garlic is not good."

Wen Si crushed the garlic into mashed garlic, then walked over with a bowl and a kitchen knife.

……

The emperor and Wan Zhen'er had fun in the ice and snow, sitting on an ice bed, playing pricks and slippery, throwing farts, throwing snow balls, digging pits for fishing, putting the honey and milk they brought in jars, soaking them in ice water, and then fishing. Eat the ice balls in the jar, and cough until it's frozen.Very unhealthy, but very fun.

After playing for nearly an hour, I was sweating profusely, out of breath, and very hungry.

Wan Zhen'er's face was red from the cold, in order to prevent the skin on her face from getting cracked, she applied a thick layer of balm and a thick layer of red lipstick on her lips: "I'm hungry, go back to eat Bar."

Zhu Jian took a deep breath of the increasingly clear fragrance in the cold air, and said happily, "Okay, come with me!"

The two fat balls squeezed onto a throne again, and the emperor finally found a way to hold her—he directly took her arm and held her arm in his arms.Well, Sister Wan's arm is wrapped in layers of clothes, it's as thick as a pillow, hahahaha.

Bingbedzi galloped all the way, and soon reached the shore, was supported and surrounded by the crowd, walked down, got into the dragon chariot, and walked for a while with the curtain down.

Suddenly, I feel the fragrance of flowers, and I opened the curtain to see a plum blossom forest, red plum blossoms and yellow wintersweet. In the plum forest, there is an octagonal agarwood pavilion with doors and windows, and the green smoke curls up.

Zhu Jianshen eagerly pulled her to the front of the pavilion, and opened the door to see that a few cooks had roasted a venison leg until it was golden brown and crispy, slightly dark golden, and the part where the sauce was applied was an attractive reddish brown, sprinkled with Sesame seeds are prepared, dipping materials are prepared, and yellow rice wine is heating up next to the stove.

The red plum blossoms in front of the window outside the house are blooming on the branches, red like blood, and the yellow wintersweet is also blooming proudly, full of nobility.

The roasted venison leg, which is oily and red, exudes a super invincible and charming aroma. It is the most tempting delicacy in these cold days.Fat and protein meet once, intimately interpenetrating and merging, after the Maillard reaction after being burned by flames.

"Your Majesty, do you want to drink?"

"What wine?"

"There are Shaoxing (yellow) wine, Jinhua (yellow) wine, pear flower white, green ant wine, and the strongest shochu."

Wan Zhen'er couldn't wait to take off her gloves, unbutton her coat, and take off her hat: "Is it ready? Cut a plate for me."

"Yes, ma'am." The cooks said to the emperor again: "Forgive the villain." Then they pulled out their knives and started slicing the meat, making sure that each piece of meat had both skin and flesh.

The stove for roasting venison was set on the side with a slightly worse view. Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhener sat in front of the window with the best view, looking at the plum blossoms in various forms. Together, very vulgar, but vulgar is so delightful!Very comfortable!So happy!

The historian beside him swallowed silently. Since he wanted to write the emperor's daily life note, he had to follow the emperor from the time he got up to the time when the emperor went to bed.

Someone came over with two basins of hot water and mung bean noodles, and waited for the two to wash their hands.

Wan Zhen'er looked at the food on the table and thought it was funny: "Bring over Jinhua wine, sieve two cups of sweetness and just eat it, don't drink strong wine."

Zhu Jianshen thought the same way. He didn't drink well, and he would faint after drinking a little.First, I ate two slices of sweet and crisp green radishes. Because of His Majesty's preference, there was a large plate of oranges and a plate of chopped kiwi and green radishes on the table.

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Hungry?"

"Not yet, eat some radish first to avoid getting angry."

"In winter, this is the only thing that is green. The vegetables that cabbage refers to are white, which is really strange."

Zhu Jianshen took another piece of kiwi and ate it: "Sister Wan, you should eat some too, or you will get angry easily."

Wan Zhen'er was greedy and hungry, she couldn't stop staring at the cooks cutting the meat, feeling that they were cutting so slowly!He reached out and took an orange and peeled it open: "Pour wine."

The maid hurriedly poured wine into the golden cup.

The book implies, don't think that using a gold cup is a luxury. The gold cups used by the emperor for drinking were made by the late emperor. There are ten in a set, and they are dug out from the storeroom and used.

Zhu Jianshen was also staring at the plate of barbecue, complaining secretly, why did they use such a big plate to hold the meat!

"Don't eat oranges, these things don't get rid of the fire, you have to eat green ones to get rid of the fire."

This is metaphysics, understand!metaphysics!Green belongs to clear air, belongs to wood, and can overcome internal fire.

Historian:? ?

Wan Zhen'er just ate half of an orange, and nodded: "That's right, don't cut it up and bring it here! Hurry up."

The plate was placed on a basin, and it was brought over. There was a basin of hot water in it, and the hot steam was steaming the bottom of the plate, which ensured that the emperor's empress would enjoy the flowers at the window, and the meat would not be blown cold by the wind.

The meat is really fragrant, the venison is relatively thin, but they are roasted very fat, oily, and the skin is crispy and the meat is soft, very delicious.

Zhu Jianshen: "Close the window." It's cold, but the meat is hot. When you pick it up and put it in your mouth, it's blown cold by the wind. It's almost freezing!

They don't talk about poetry or current affairs, they just sit and eat meat and drink, and eat and eat wholeheartedly.

I was too tired from playing around just now, I just think the meat is more delicious.

After eating seven plates of sliced ​​barbecue in a row, each of them leaned on the chair with their stomachs full, and exhaled in satisfaction~

"good to eat."

"It's delicious! Your majesty is so elegant."

Zhu Jianshen readily accepted the compliment: "How well I arranged it! In late spring and March, after offering sacrifices to heaven, I will take you out for a horseback ride, and let's go hunting."

"Okay!"

Zhu Jianshen said happily: "The people of Qin Tianjian told me that this year is a good year, and the weather will be good everywhere."

"Amitabha, God has eyes, that's great."

"What about you, Sister Wan~ Give me another son~"

Wan Zhen'er smiled and cast a wink: "The concubine obeys the order."

Zhu Jianshen was stunned, if it wasn't for the coldness and lack of bed here, and his tired waist and legs, he really wanted to do something.After thinking about it for a while, with an ambiguous and happy smile on his face, he pouted to Wan Zhen'er.

The historian began to think about whether he should write it down. He suddenly thought of a poem "Looking at Zhu Chengbi, thinking about it, haggard and scattered, remembering the king." Could it be that when Emperor Gaozong of Tang met Wu Meiniang privately in the temple, he sent this poem to the emperor At that time, there was a historian standing beside him, seeing everything and silently recording it?Wow, the Tang Dynasty was so unrestrained, did the senior historians often see things about hooking up?

I simplified these two sentences, beautified them and wrote them down: Dixi said: "I give you two more sons." Wan said with a smile, "Zunzhi".

Wan Zhen'er kissed him from the air, covered her face and smiled and said, "I'm too full to stand up. Forgive me."

"This matter cannot be forgiven, and I will punish you ten times."

"As long as the emperor is happy, what does it matter if he punishes his concubines dozens of times or even a hundred times?" Blinking~

Zhu Jianshen began to rub his stomach to digest: "Very good, very good."

I can still rest for more than ten days, your Guishui ended four days ago, oh, oh, oh, you can have a spring night every night for these ten days, and get up late every day~

The historian sneezed inexplicably.

Wan Zhen'er was startled, only then did she realize that besides the palace people, there was also a small official following behind her.She hurriedly whispered: "It's not easy for the official historian, let him sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up his body and eat some meat. Let's go out and pick plum blossoms."

The emperor adopted the suggestion of the previous sentence and let the historian eat.

After resting for a while, he put on thick clothes, went out of the pavilion, and planned to go back to the palace to sleep, but saw a plum blossom that was in full bloom, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and folded it down.I saw another beautiful one and folded it too.

Not long after, a large bundle of plum blossoms of various colors was folded, and asked the little fireman to hold them, and the emperor and concubine returned to the palace in a chariot.

The Empress Dowager stayed with her brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces to eat, and then talked together after eating.Holding in her arms the eldest prince who had just finished feeding and was staring intently at the rattle drum, she reported outside the room: "Qi Madam, the emperor is here."

There was a commotion in the house.It was time to stand up. The men who became officials stood up quickly, lined up neatly, and prepared to salute the emperor.The women also hurriedly got up and straightened their dresses. The young girls who hadn't left the court showed shyness and held handkerchiefs in their hands, listening to their mothers asking their mothers if they wanted to avoid them.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the emperor walked in with a bundle of red plum blossoms in his arms. When he saw Empress Sun, he smiled sweetly: "Empress~ The plum blossoms are so beautiful. I folded some with my own hands. Come to insert a bottle for you. Oh, no courtesy. Madam, smell it, it smells so good. You don’t come out of the house, I will bring the plum blossoms in."

Everyone who was kneeling on the ground stood up.

Sun Niangniang was startled when she saw that he was two times fatter than usual, and then remembered the reason: "Yeah, Xiang."

Wan Zhen'er came in with two bundles of plum blossoms in her arms, and blessed her body with ease: "Happy New Year, my lady! The emperor left too fast."

The men who had just raised their heads quickly lowered their heads again.

Sun Niangniang beckoned: "Come here, put all the flowers here, let Dabao take a look at the flowers." She suddenly found that she had a few grandnieces and grandnieces who were blushing and peeping at the emperor, full of young girls Huaichun.

The ladies of the Sun family all know that the glory and wealth of the family depend on the birth of an empress dowager, so they are naturally full of infinite curiosity and longing for the emperor. They also dreamed of encountering the emperor by chance when they dreamed back at midnight, or She was called into the palace by her aunt and given to the emperor.I didn't expect to see it today. The emperor is just as imagined, young and handsome, with a majestic and soft black face and a majestic figure.

Behind him, the rumored 'Peerless Concubine' looks so ordinary, even worse than a maid.It turned out that such a woman was lucky enough to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor!

The emperor put the plum blossoms on the ground and was pinched by the empress dowager. Then he went to pinch his son's face and found that his son was staring at the rattle: "Give it to me." The rattle rolled its eyes and shook its head unconsciously, it was so funny.

The empress dowager slapped him with a smile: "Don't make trouble."

Wan Zhen'er was familiar with Wang Shanggong and said, "Bring over the Ru kiln's pink and green tianqiu vase, and the same color flower goblet. Well, bring that white jade square vase too."

Wang Shanggong said: "Would you like the garlic bottle of Langyaohong? It goes well with white plum blossoms."

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while: "What do you think, Niang Niang?"

Empress Dowager Sun said lazily: "If you want me to tell you, take a pen holder and put it in a bucket full. It looks good and saves trouble. Take your time."

Sure enough, Wan Zhen'er and Wang Shanggong picked out the most complete and beautiful branches from the three bundles of plum blossoms, inserted a few vases in an orderly manner, and placed them in various parts of the room as decorations.There are red and yellow plum blossoms in the pink blue and white cup, which are so beautiful that they can be painted. The daffodils in the goose-yellow glazed water chestnut narcissus pot next to it are blooming, and next to it is a pot of plum bonsai.

The emperor hugged his son and sat next to the empress dowager, talking to the ministers indifferently, pretending not to see the women next to him, and naturally ignoring the admiring gazes of the girls.

Wan Zhen'er patted the ashes on her hands and washed them: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"

The little girls of the Sun family slandered her again, from being too tall, having a thick waist, looking too fierce, to having a voice that was too thick.

Sun Niangniang was a little angry, she had already seen that her nieces and grandnieces looked at the emperor with unreasonable eyes, but she did not expect them to be so uneducated, showing contempt and disdain at Wan Zhen'er.Empress Dowager Sun said: "Very good, how are you two having fun today?"

The emperor said: "Well, ma'am, the slippery ice is very fun. The fish swims underwater, and I run with it on the ice. Hahaha, it's very interesting."

"What about you?"

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said: "Go back to your mother, the concubine had a great time playing, and even roasted deer legs in the plum forest to eat."

"Drinking?"

"Drink a little." Zhu Jianshen muttered, "No wonder it's so hot."

Sun Niangniang lowered her eyes and smiled: "Hurry up and go back to change clothes. The brazier in Ai's house is very hot. You are wearing thick clothes on ice. It's no wonder it's not hot."

Zhu Jianshen said drunkenly: "Ah, that's right! I'm leaving." The rice wine has a strong stamina, and he is only now getting drunk.He got up and walked out the door, almost tripping over the threshold, but fortunately Wan Zhen'er caught him in time.

Emperor: "Hey hey."

Wan Niangniang hurriedly greeted people: "Come here and help the emperor, I am also fainted."

Empress Dowager Sun watched them go out, looked at the big fat boy beside her, and thought it was funny, your parents were young and ignorant, they left you behind.Hahaha.He looked at the female relatives again: "The emperor and the Wan family have always been so affectionate, don't be surprised."

Her nephew and daughter-in-law's face was flushed, and she suddenly pulled a 14-year-old girl forward: "Madam, how can there be only one concubine in the emperor's harem, and everyone outside the palace is talking about it, it's outrageous." She looked Seeing that the empress's complexion was not good, she said: "The relationship between the emperor and the empress is the closest, why don't we kiss each other more, even if Wanfei is jealous, she still has to please you, as long as it is the person you point to, no one will Dare to take a peek at her. Look at Shujun's character and appearance, everything is a hundred times stronger than that Concubine Wan."

Sun Jizong knew a lot about the relationship between the emperor and concubine. He managed Jingyan, and when Wan Niangniang went to listen to Jingyan as prenatal education, he had more or less dealt with it.He hurriedly scolded his daughter-in-law: "What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you think about it!"

The Empress Dowager sneered: "You are looking at it, Ai's family is going to die, hurry up and send another girl into the palace to be your backer."

If the emperor has no children at the age of 20, then he can only mention it, and if he has no children at the age of 25, he can forcefully accept a concubine for him.

Now the imperial concubine and concubine are like glue, and it is time for the concubine to be concubine. They are inseparable all day long. The emperor has deep affection for her, and he is too busy to pamper the palace people. She gave birth to a healthy and fat boy, so everything goes smoothly At that time, why did the Ai family want to find it unhappy by themselves, making Jian Shen feel uncomfortable, and making Wan Zhen'er secretly hate the Ai family?

After Ai's family passed away, Wan Zhen'er was pleased, the first thing she wanted to do was to get rid of Concubine Sun!The solution is also easy, just send it to the temple to be some kind of fairy teacher.

As for others, Sun Niangniang knew that gentle, virtuous, respectful and respectful concubines can be accommodated, but concubines with strong backing are the thorn in the side.

If a cow presses its head forcefully without drinking water, that's a big idiot.
