Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on with the somewhat frozen atmosphere between the emperor and the eldest prince.The father and son were still in love with each other yesterday, sweetly, and exaggerated in the edict that the eldest prince Zhu Youzhen was smart and filial, why are they so angry today?

Seeing that there were signs of crying on the first prince's pink and chubby little face, his big eyes seemed a little red and swollen, and he was hiccupping all the time.

I saw the emperor puffed up again, angrily, as if he had been wronged a lot.Looking to the side, Concubine Wan Gui, who dominates the harem, stands behind. If she is not tall enough, she will not be seen by others. She is wearing a pink soft gauze gown that is unobtrusive to everyone, and a simple one on her head. A silk flower, a golden hairpin, and no other decorations.

The three giants in the harem—the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Empress Dowager Qian each dressed up and stood beside the emperor.

The sharp-eyed minister noticed the clue. The Empress Dowager was hiding her hands under her sleeves and was poking the emperor's waist with her sharp nails.

Wan Zhen'er pretended not to see it, and pretended that she had a low sense of existence. Today is a good day for her son. She doesn't want the Queen Mother Zhou to open the book with herself in public... This old woman probably won't give up this good opportunity to fight against me.

Zhu Jian's face was deep, his ears were still hurting, and now he was poked on his waist again. He was wearing thin summer clothes, and the old man's nails were always thick and sharp. He was about to cry out when he was poked.

So wronged, so sad, a new generation replaced the old one, Sister Wan didn't focus on liking Zhu Youzhen, but the Empress Dowager didn't like me anymore.Am I not her beloved grandson?Oh...

Empress Sun: [Promise!Such a big man, he even snatched his son's dumplings!He also put on a look of grievance, why are you wronged, why is your son being bullied by you! ]

[I learned this from the first emperor, hum, the first emperor didn't love you, and you wouldn't love your own son either.This is the nature of father and son! ]

[Wan Zhen'er is not willing to talk about you, but is willing to bully her own son.snort. ]

"Alas..." Hearing this sigh, he knew that the emperor was about to speak: "Let's try."

You should use bows, arrows, paper and pens, and add food and treasures to play with.

But what needs to be tested is the future prince, of course it can’t be so simple, in addition to bows and arrows, paper and pens, books, snacks, fried fish (ordered by the emperor himself) and new clothes with precious bracelets and necklaces, more importantly, one of the emperor’s jade seals, "Emperor Zhibao', a copper ruler, and a silver scale.

Zhu Youzhen, who was wearing new clothes, had red lips and cheeks, and a rouge mole between his eyebrows, was still hiccupping. He just cried so hard that he couldn't stop hiccupping.The child looks pitiful and cute when he cries until he hiccups, twitching.

The surrounding relatives, eunuchs, and ministers looked at his small appearance, and they were really cute.

Zhu Youzhen was placed on the mat, facing a lot of things.He stood unsteadily on the edge of the mat and looked back: "Mother, mother..."

Why is my mother missing?

Who are these people?

What do you want me to do?

The emperor finally couldn't stand being poked by the empress dowager, blocked her hand, and said slowly: "Son, whatever you like, just take it and give it to you. Hey." No wonder it is said that husband and wife are enemies, children It's a creditor, so annoying.

Zhu Youzhen yelled: "Okay! Dad~ I like it!"

He knelt down and reached out to grab the colorful ball closest to him, only to find that it was a piece of clothing when he got it, and threw it away in disgust.

The ministers began to flatter: "The eldest prince doesn't like fancy clothes! This is because he is frugal by nature!"

"The eldest prince has the style of a benevolent monarch!"

"The eldest prince loves the world so much!"

Zhu Youzhen:? ? ?

He grabbed the bow again, and he didn't know how he did it. He concentrated on grabbing one part of the bow, but hit the other end on his head. Zhu Youzhen looked up blankly, looked around, and didn't know who hit him. Playing with the lacquer-carved, gold-carved bow again, it didn't hit the head, but accidentally hit my leg.He touched his legs and looked around, staring at a pair of big confused eyes, concentrating on finding who hit him, so serious that he forgot to hiccup.

Because he cared about his head and ignored his feet, and cared about his feet and ignored his head, he hit himself on the head again.

The ministers were almost covering their eyes, knowing that children are clumsy, it's nothing, it just looks like it hurts too much.

The emperor whispered: "Stupid..."

Several women nearby said in unison: "You were like this when you were young."

Zhu Jian covered his heart deeply: "Oh..."

Zhu Jianji asked next to him, "What's wrong?"

Before the on-site commentator told him what happened, Zhu Youzhen threw away the bow angrily.

The ministers hurriedly continued to praise: "Soldiers, ominous weapons, things or evil, so there is no place for those who have the way. Your Highness is a man of the way!"

"Yes, yes, a gentleman does not use a sword lightly."

"His Royal Highness has a kind heart..."

Zhu Youzhen didn't understand what they were saying. He saw the big jade seal, which was bright white and very oily. The emperor used high-quality lard white jade, which had the same color and texture as refined pure white lard. The tentacles are warm and greasy. Although they are pure white and full of luster, they have a sense of translucency, in short, they look good.

He grabbed the jade seal and brought it to his side, touched it fondly, then got down and took two bites, it was cold, like ice cubes.

Zhu Jianshen's complexion improved a little bit, and he hoped that his son would grab this jade seal to show that it was the material for becoming a prince.

The ministers were taken aback, and then continued to brag about Dabao's choice.All the above praises are not improvised. The manuscript was written a few days in advance to deal with various objects. There are only so many things in the world to grasp the week. There is nothing new, as long as you are prepared.Someone used a family heirloom. What Zhu Jianshen praised when he caught Zhou in the past, he took it out and praised it again today.Anyway, the time is too far away, no one remembers.

Their preparations were really thorough. Even Dabao stuffed apricot biscuits into his mouth, saying, "Food is paramount to the people" and "If you are not picky about food, you are thrifty."

Joyfully ended the Zhou Catch Ceremony, Zhu Jianshen thought the food was too unpalatable, so he simply didn't leave a banquet, and sent them all back to work in the government office.

Sun Niangniang pulled Wan Zhen'er: "You teach him to take the seal?"

"Ma'am, no, maybe he likes jade more." Wan Zhen'er scratched her head, and hugged Dabao, who was holding the seal and never let go, in her arms: "Why do you always hold the seal? Ah! The ink pad in one hand, don't touch me , stop! stop!"

Zhu Youzhen was very disobedient, his hands were covered with cinnabar inkpad from the bottom of the seal, he had just wiped himself off, but the red clothes he was wearing couldn't tell, now this little hand was grabbing his mother's body, pink and tender Small red handprints immediately appeared on the clothes, and the clothes were considered ruined.

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled gloatingly, and took her son away swaggeringly.

The empress dowager was overjoyed: "Hurry up and grab it, fetch water to wash his hands, nonsense, really nonsense."

It was inconvenient to do these things in the Huagai Palace, and there was no change of clothes for the eldest prince and empress, so Wan Zhen'er had no choice but to carry her son into the sedan chair, and the empress dowager also got into the phoenix chariot, and came to Zhaode Palace one after another.

Wan Zhen'er took off her pink soft robe, put her son's little hands in the basin, and rubbed them with the bath beans herself, but the rubbing wasn't very clean, and it was still red.

Taking advantage of the time to wash their hands and face, the palace people hurriedly returned the 'Emperor's Treasure' to Qianqing Palace.

Good ink pads have particularly high color fixation and color rendering, are delicate and strong, and will not lose their color even if they are covered on calligraphy and painting for thousands of years, and it is not easy to wash off even on small hands now.

Zhu Youzhen struggled and said, "Take off your clothes, it's hot, it's hot, mother, it's so hot."

Wan Zhen'er saw sweat on his forehead, and quickly ordered: "Come here, take off Dabao's clothes."

He took off the inner and outer layers of clothes, only to find that the inner two layers of clothes were drenched with sweat, so he took a bath and sprinkled a little pearl powder on the underarms and inner thighs to make it Then he put on the apron, small coat and trousers that he usually wears in the house.

The weather is actually not that hot, but children have strong firepower and are more afraid of heat than adults. When they catch the week, open the doors and windows, and put the mat in the sun to increase the degree of gold.

Hot Baozi yelled, "Water, drink water."

Ton ton ton to drink a glass of water.

He shouted again: "Watermelon, eat watermelon, quack quack"

Wan Zhen'er suddenly realized: "Your Majesty! The reason why he holds the seal and doesn't let go is because it's cool!"

Sun Niangniang was startled: "No way! Youzhen, Dabao, why do you like seals?"

Dabao happily yelled: "Cold! Baby is so hot!" After eating hot dumplings, wearing thick clothes, and being hugged by hot mothers, there were many people in the palace, Very hot.

The Empress Dowager clapped her hands together quickly: "Amitabha! Thank you that you were not a child born in Sanjiu!"

Wan Zhen'er followed suit: "Amitabha, he almost grabbed the hand warmer!"

Sun Niangniang was also very nervous: "Yeah, if you can't get up while lying on the padded jacket, you will be worthless!"

It’s really knowledgeable to realize that the tendency to grasp the week is related to the season, which is actually quite reasonable. Adults still pay attention to basic necessities of life, while children only care about eating and sleeping. How comfortable they are.

Tried all kinds of bath beans but couldn't wash them clean. Wan Zhen'er remembered that the last time she played with dough, the phoenix flower red on her nails had faded. Dabao squeezed it and tried it.

……

When Zhu Jianshen followed the Queen Mother Zhou, what he was thinking about was that my concubine asked me to persuade her not to take the elixir last night. When he became a celestial master, when did he take the elixir?It all depends on your own true practice and proof!

"Empress, please take less pills, this thing will do all harm to your body and will not do you any good." As soon as the words were uttered, it was like sparks falling into a firecracker, and the Empress Dowager Zhou exploded at that time.

Zhou Dalian slapped the table angrily: "What are you talking about! This is the elixir made by Zhang Tianshi. If you take it, it can cure all diseases and live forever. What do you know! The former let you eat it, but you heard Wan Zhener's nonsense? If you are willing to take the elixir, come and stop me now!"

Zhu Jianshen was also anxious: "Master Zhang Zhang is about to be killed! He raped and raped women! He killed more than 40 people!"

[Don't you know how early Zhang Yuan's guitarist died! ]

[If immortality were so simple, Master Hong Wu would still be here! ]

[Sister Wan's words are really good! ]

[Oh, I'm so anxious to stutter like this! ]

Stuttering is always like this, there are thousands of words in my heart that I want to say, but I can't express them.

The Empress Dowager Zhou continued to slap the table: "This is all slander. The Celestial Master's medicine is so effective and his practice is so profound, how could he do such a thing! Someone must be trying to seize the position of the Celestial Master and deliberately frame him! You are young! , I can't even see how bad Wan Zhener is, let alone those harmful tricks."

Zhu Jianshen almost fainted with anger, he knew he was very smart, no, it doesn't matter whether he is smart or not now, the point is that Taifu Yu and Xiangu Wen have certified that Zhang Yuanji can be killed!He still didn't want his mother to die after taking the elixir, and retorted: "Teacher Yu said that Zhang Yuanji is really a bad person!" Well, very true.

The Empress Dowager Zhou sneered: "Yu Qian was executed by the first emperor, and he escaped by chance. Naturally, he left some grievances and tried his best to harm you. You, you are so stupid to build a shrine for him. That day the master can protect Guozuo If you don’t respect him, you will suffer retribution, my son, you dare not kill him! It’s better to demolish Yu Qian’s ancestral hall early, don’t let these

Zhu Jian was so angry that he couldn't do it, and said loudly: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Humph!"

He was so angry that he almost bit his own tongue. He stood up and walked out. He stopped talking and stuttered when he got angry. He really couldn't speak for her.

Taifu Yu is much more reliable than my father!

He turned around angrily and left, returning to the Qianqing Palace with an angry review of the memorial!

A child prodigy appeared in a certain place, who could write poems and essays at the age of five.

Guangxi's counter-insurgency has made some staged progress, and another place has been captured.

Jiahe appeared in a certain place, auspicious ah auspicious.

The regiment in a certain place stole the county magistrate's concubine, the county magistrate killed the concubine, the regiment killed the county magistrate, and the magistrate said between the lines that his mother would sell him.

There was a young woman in a certain place who became a widow within one month of marriage. Her mother's family persuaded her to remarry and she refused to remarry. Her husband's family persuaded her to remarry but she refused. The magistrate applied for a chastity memorial archway.

There was an old man in a certain place who had given birth to nine sons, but now he had nowhere to live, and none of his sons wanted to support her. The officials wanted to kill all nine sons as a warning to others.

In a certain place, a centenarian Nangong Lin's family got a little granddaughter, and now the sixth generation lives under the same roof.

The last news shocked Zhu Jianshen. He picked up a pen and scrap of paper and began to calculate, dividing one hundred by six, eh! 16 points left. "The old lady of the Nangong family gave birth to a son at the age of 16, then his son gave birth to a grandson at the age of 16, his grandson gave birth to a great-grandson at the age of 16, the great-grandson gave birth to a great-grandson at the age of 16, and the great-great-grandson gave birth to a grandson at the age of 16. This is amazing. What a coincidence."

Zhu Jianshen flicked his pen in shock, and wrote the four characters of "children and grandchildren", and wrote the characters of "renrui", and rewarded him with 100 taels of silver.

Continuing to read the memorial, the newly built embankment in a certain place can be signed for, and merchants in a certain place gathered to pay a lot of taxes. A robber came out of a certain place and killed more than a dozen people.An official in a certain place spends a lot of money to impeach another official's female ticket, which is money from corruption.Some mushrooms, shaped like ganoderma lucidum, grow on the pillars of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, which must be auspicious.

Zhu Jianshen looked at the word "mushroom" and drooled: "Go and tell the noble concubine that I want to eat fried mushrooms tonight, um, now I can also eat fried quail."

The eunuch led the way.

Soon it was noon, and Huai En came in with two food boxes, feeling a little nervous: "Your Majesty, today's dishes are made by villains. The villain has a few special dishes. I want to honor the emperor. I don't know if the emperor will allow it. "In fact, his specialty lies in his mouth, he can direct how to do it very well, but he can't get started.

Zhu Jianshen was noncommittal: "Open it and let me see."

There are twelve dishes in the two three-layer food boxes. The dishes are not particularly delicate, and the squid looks even more black.

Zhu Jianshen picked up his chopsticks and tasted one of the best-looking butter-fried scallops based on the principle that if it smells delicious, he should try it.

Ghee is a yellow fat extracted from milk, which is very fragrant. The scallops are white and plump, slightly burnt on both sides, exuding the aroma of milk and pepper.

"Delicious!" Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to taste other dishes, he was busy eating and eating, and said: "Go and invite the imperial concubine to come over quickly."

Every dish is so delicious!Why didn't I find out before!All the idiots in Guanglu Temple get out!

The little eunuch ran all the way to report, Wan Zhen'er didn't know what happened, so she hurried over.

The emperor sat beside a table of plates very seriously: "Sister Wan, you were almost late."

Wan Zhen'er covered her heart: "What's wrong? Your Majesty, don't scare me."

"Stop talking, come and eat, it's getting cold!"

"Huh..." Wan Zhen'er's legs softened, she rolled her eyes secretly, came to sit down, picked up her chopsticks and looked around, and found that there was only one-third of the dishes left on each plate. There were two left, and the rest were the same, so I left a mouthful. "It's delicious! Where did it come from? Was it a banquet called from outside the palace?"

Wynn smiled implicitly and low-key: "The villain serves the empress."

Zhu Jianshen stroked his stomach happily: "If I had known that Wynn had such skillful hands, I would never have tolerated those meals. It's a pity that there was a little less, and I wasn't full."

Ever since she became a concubine, Wan Zhen'er has never eaten leftovers, but this table is different, not only reserved for the emperor, but also really delicious.As she ate one by one, she remembered a famous person——Wang Zhen!When Wang Zhen dominated the imperial court back then, there were rumors in the harem that he was so overbearing that he even had to personally interfere with the emperor's diet, but now it seems that he is not overbearing, but because the imperial food is really unpalatable, and Wang Zhen used this to compete for favor.

"Is this really Wynn's cooking skill? It's really rare. If it's your cook, it can be transferred to Guanglu Temple. If it's you, the emperor won't be willing to overqualify. "

Hearing that she praised herself so thoughtfully, Huaien quickly bowed and said: "Really, it's as true and credible as my mother is good at making dumplings. It's all for the emperor's happiness and comfort. The villain got it by chance and bought a few side dishes , be a little cautious."

Zhu Jianshen said: "Your heart, I regard it as a delicacy, come and eat as much as you want."

Wan Zhen'er giggled next to her, she knew in her heart that it was "just like making dumplings" for herself.

Huai En took the opportunity to say: "Wang Zhen, Jin Rong, Men Rong and others in the previous dynasty couldn't tell the priority. It was clear that the emperor trusted them, but he wanted to attribute the blessings to the Bodhisattva. They built temples, consumed people's fat and anointed, and occupied people's land. The villain is willing to serve the emperor with the sincerity of worshiping the Bodhisattva, and dedicate to the emperor with the delicacies that are dedicated to the Bodhisattva, the emperor is the fairy Bodhisattva of the villain."

"Okay, um, okay." Zhu Jianshen felt a little dizzy and a little floating, and the words were so happy.

Wynn accepts it as soon as he sees it, and finds an excuse to go out and do some things to serve the emperor.

The book implies that the great eunuchs who have been favored in the past dynasties not only serve the emperor's food and daily life, but also serve food, drinks, tickets and gambling.

He laughed for a long time before continuing to (delete) the code word (delete) to write the memorial. Wan Zhener was sitting next to him and eating oranges. The emperor suddenly said: "Qin Zhongbin has arrived in Tianjin Wei! I really can't persuade your mother." , don't waste your efforts, I hope that after killing Zhang Yuanji, the empress can wake up."

Wan Zhen'er thought in her heart that the Zhang family's elixir was handed down from her ancestors, and she shouldn't be able to eat dead people. If the empress took another swindler's elixir, it might be even worse.That's great news for me.

The emperor sighed faintly, lamenting that he was helpless.

……

In the far distance, there is a country that is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty, but has many subtle differences in customs and etiquette, Zhuang State.

Yu Tingyi didn't know much about this place, so he went to find He Mingjue first, and He Mingjue was suffering from having nothing to do, so he hit it off after hearing what happened to him, and he personally accompanied them to find Zhuangguo, just in time to have a look.

The three of them had traveled a long distance, er, it should be said that they had drifted across, far, far away, across a large sea of ​​sand, before they saw a small town.

A small city that is not under the Ming Dynasty can be seen from the architectural style alone.

Floating here with his wife, Yu Qian saw that the streets were clean and tidy. The roads in the county town were very wide and many trees were planted. Although the people passing by were not fat and strong, they also had ruddy complexions, and no one with a disheveled face was seen.In terms of clothing, the biggest difference between here and the Ming Dynasty is the popularity of narrow sleeves. Whether it is a passing scholar or an old man basking in the sun, the sleeves of the clothes are relatively narrow. Officials, literati, and noble ladies have looser sleeves to show that they don't have to work hard.

The strangest thing is that there are no refugees and beggars here.

He knew very well that there were no beggars near the city gate, and they might have been driven away. If he wanted to know the real situation of a city, he had to go to the market.

"Brother He, how about we go to the market and have a look?"

He Mingjue also thinks this place is quite new: "Okay, I have been on vacation for 20 years, and I can go anywhere. This should be the border of Zhuangguo. If we want to go to the capital, we have to go inside the place we are looking for. Let's go, Go buy a map."

"Brother He has never been here?"

"No, there are too many demon kings in this place, and there are no evil spirits making trouble."

Mrs. Dong's attention was focused on a group of girls in brightly colored clothes with half-exposed breasts. These girls held packages in their hands, combed their hair in various hairstyles, and wore a few simple and flattering clothes. Jewelry, looked around happily and said, laughing and playing in the street, the girl in the lead was wearing a floral dress and a black skirt, with a short knife on her waist.

This startled her, and after another thought, it was reasonable for the people in the small border town to be tough.

Yu Qian is very concerned about people's livelihood. Although he is not in charge of government affairs in this area, he still knows a little bit about it.Walking around in the market, peeking at the people who buy rice, noodles, oil and salt, they feel a little pain when they buy things, but they don’t seem to be struggling, and there are clothing stores, and there are some unique cloths. Madam Dong glanced at the silk and satin, and was embarrassed to go over. Yu Qian saw her thoughts and walked over.In the store, there was a man with black smoke all over his body and a blurred face, who was cutting a few pieces of fabric on the table and making clothes.

He Mingjue had an occupational disease attack, and his sharp, eagle-grazing eyes gazing deeply at him twice, stepped forward and asked, "The ghosts of Zhuangguo are so blatant? How dare you open the door for business in broad daylight?"

"Guest, do you want to buy something? I'm the shopkeeper." The male ghost slowly pointed to the paperwork posted on the wall behind him. In addition to the tax payment voucher and a few certification paperwork, one of them was a 'ghost shop certificate', which It is a ghost who needs more procedures than a living person to open a shop, to ensure that the ghost who opens the shop will not absorb the spirit of customers.

Mrs. Dong hid behind her husband in fear, not daring to look at the silk.

The shop owner, Ghost, said slowly: "Several, which lady, I am a ghost and you are a ghost, what are you afraid of?"

He Mingjue said: "Where is there so much nonsense! My brothers and sisters are afraid of seeing strangers when they are alive, and afraid of seeing ghosts when they are dead!"

Mrs. Dong said in her heart that I forgot!
