Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

The ministers proposed to continue to discuss the titles of the Empresses of the Two Palaces, but Zhu Jianshen rejected it.

For four days in a row, he didn't say a word about Jin's conferment of the Empress Dowager, and was dedicated to state affairs.By the way, he whispered to the ministers: "Madam Qian is a vegetarian in cotton clothes, and she is still mourning for her father. Alas, I don't know how to persuade her."

Ministers: "The emperor mourns."

The palace people who went out to buy vegetables and fruits and were on vacation all talked about Empress Qian's sorrows, and Concubine Zhou's flaunting and gesticulating.

Wan Zhen'er put down her capital and gave each of them a tael of silver!Although not many, at least enough to let them go out and chat with people more.With such a small amount of money, it is incomparable to the money they deducted for shopping every day, but the palace people also like to join in the fun, one is that Wan Niangniang is the new favorite, and the other is that it is happiest to go out of the palace and speak ill of the masters.

The local people in the capital heard the truth and spread the news.

When the news spread to Tianjin Wei, everyone heard: "Concubine Zhou has a meal with four plates and two fires. Mung bean noodles mixed with lumps and crispy small fish are not good."

The news spread to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and everyone heard: "Ms. Zhou made fried fritters when she ate dumplings in the morning. When she was tired of eating bacon in white flour buns, she steamed a pot of horse-tooth vegetable buns. Pound the garlic juice and shredded radish. I mixed it with a spoonful of sesame oil. I’m still not satisfied with this, so I plan to eat steamed chicken in the morning, roast duck at noon, and something lighter in the evening, with garlic and white meat.”

The news spread to the border: "Ms. Zhou wants to eat steamed lamb for breakfast, and roast leg of lamb for dinner, alas. How many sheep will be ruined."

It is rumored that this kind of thing is like bacteria, as long as a little is thrown out, it will continue to divide, reproduce, evolve, and adapt to regional differences.

It may be that the dignitaries heard about it first, and then passed it on slowly.It is also possible that the general public heard about it first, and then the master's daughter-in-law told the master, the master told the master, the master told the elder, and spread it from bottom to top.

Zhou Dalian didn't know that rumors were raging outside the palace, but endured it for three days, seeing that she hadn't become the only empress dowager, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent someone to spread the word.

Xia Shi walked in cautiously: "Ms. Zhou said, please hurry up and discuss the matter with the queen mother."

Zhu Jianshen said with a straight face: "Don't worry, tell your mother that her matter is only my family matter. What I am discussing with all my ministers now is a matter of the world."

Xia Shi hesitated and said: "Your Majesty is a little unhappy" If I can't always handle this matter, Your Majesty will send someone else to pass on the message.

Zhu Jianshen was angry: "The people are the most important, the king is the most important! The people in the world have no food and clothing, and I have no time."

The historian was very moved!Seriously write a note on daily life: The emperor sighed for the money, how did so and so answer, and how so and so answered.Summer time comes: "The concubine of Zhou is urgent." The emperor: "The people are more important than the emperor. I think the people are hungry and cold, and spring plowing is coming..."

Alas, it's really not easy for the emperor. My daughter-in-law and my mother are also having a lot of trouble, and it's better to be on duty in the palace to be clean.I also want to be on duty at night, as soon as I get home, my mother will start crying about how difficult it is for her, and my daughter-in-law will start crying about how pitiful she is, and then... well, my head is buzzing.

Summer time is gone.

Zhu Jianshen continued to ask politics.

The officials continued to tell him what was going on in a certain place, the geographical conditions, why the harvest was so small, and the identity and background of the local officials.

Wan Zhen'er has been a concubine for four days, and she has done everything she needs to show off and demonstrate, so she doesn't need to dress up with jewels!Gold weighs a lot, a small yellow croaker one inch long weighs as much as a tael, and a hairpin weighs more than a tael. With gemstones, a complete set of head and face weighs more than a catty.What a pain in the neck!

She was wearing a bright red jacket, covered with a milky white square collar bija, which was fastened with a gold button in the middle, and she got off the bed with a royal blue floral pleated skirt. She wore a gold silk bun on her head. In addition to the golden phoenix with silk and a pair of gem gourd and gold hairpins to fix the hair, there are only two palace flowers.

The back garden of Chengqian Palace is holding a special banquet. In the garden, there are three Eight Immortals tables and a circle of flower pots around the corner. There are many branches of flowers inserted in several ice-cracked flower cups. The most conspicuous one is A red coral bonsai, four feet tall and attractive red coral is planted in a cloisonné enamel colored oval flower pot, with many blue and white jade fragments as the soil surface, and a few plants with chalcedony and chalcedony Small flowers made of emerald.

Not only Cheng'en, Wang Shanggong, Liu Shanggong (Empress Qian's) who received the invitation, but also the eunuchs of the Twelve Eunuchs were also invited.

The eunuch Wang Ning, the admiral of the imperial horse supervisor, was wearing a flying fish suit, and he was the first to say: "Hahaha, Wan Niangniang, you are blessed and safe." He made a gesture of obeisance.

Wan Zhen'er quickly stretched out her hand to support her: "I'm so overwhelmed, I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it."

The eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor not only manages the horses used by the emperor, but also the horses used by the imperial army. Sometimes the emperor has an official horse purchase project, and he is also entrusted to him.

The eunuch Song Youcai, who was next to the imperial supervisor and admiral, smiled and bowed: "Greetings to Madam Wan, Madam Wan is blessed and safe, and she will give birth to a precious son early."

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly helped him up again: "With your good words, give me your good fortune of having many children and many blessings." I heard that this guy married a pretty widow, and the widow gave birth to a pair of twins in five months , later married a widow, and bore another son.I don't know why, other eunuchs like to adopt sons or adoptive sons, and he likes to marry pregnant widows.

Song Youcai sized her up and smiled again: "The emperor called me over yesterday, and told me to let the craftsman make a few sets of good jewelry with heart. The Phoenix should be bigger, so don't be so petty. This is all for your empress. The emperor wants to burn a few pieces of porcelain for you, but I can't say anything else." Look at how polite he is now, he doesn't call himself our family anymore.

"Don't worry about it, I'll wait for it with peace of mind."

Everyone who came here took a small gift: "Wan Niangniang is blessed with more children."

"Thank you."

"Wan Niangniang gave birth to a precious son early."

"Thank you."

"Wan Niangniang will grow old together."

"Thank you."

Shi Shiran, the eunuch with the palm seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, finally appeared on the stage: "Don't blame our family for coming late, the emperor has been using seals, and our family really can't leave. Wan Niangniang, Wan Fu Jin An, our family wishes you to be in China as soon as possible. We The position of the family is not as lucrative as your masters, and the poor are very poor, so it is a little bit of a show of heart to give Wan Niangniang a golden seal."

He glanced around with a smile, saw that they didn't have much admiration on their faces, and explained: "The official seal of the first rank is silver, three sets. The seal of the second rank and the second rank are all silver, two sets. Except for the silver seals of Shuntian and Yingtian mansions, the rest are all copper seals and have no platform. Only the empresses of the Zhenggong Palace have gold seals and jade seals. Our family can't buy good jade for a while, so I engraved one with a gold seal. Don't be surprised by Wan Niangniang , at least for good luck."

Wan Zhen'er is not superstitious, but what she wants is this attitude, she quickly took it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Li, please sit down, I will put this treasure away."

After she hid her things in the house, she came out again, and it was almost time to see people coming: "The emperor told me that it is colder to enjoy flowers, and the colder the more elegant. I can't sit in my room, so I invite you to sit outside." on."

"Sister Wan is about to become a noble concubine, and she can treat us to snacks, what else can I choose? Isn't it?"

"Exactly."

Wan Zhen'er's face flushed slightly: "I am not a noble concubine, I also grew up with my brothers and sisters since I was a child, and I must not forget my roots. I wanted to treat you to a drink, but it would be troublesome to drink too much in the palace, so let them I cooked rice balls made with rice wine, and the sweet-scented osmanthus honey I marinated with my own hands last fall tasted pretty good."

The blue and white lotus pond Youlong bowl contains sweet and sour white wine and a small white garden, with a few golden translucent osmanthus flowers floating.

Talking and laughing, they got closer again.

Wan Zhen'er didn't ask them to do anything, she just invited them to eat and chat, chatting and laughing.It's not good to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, and it's too late to make friends when things happen, not to mention that this is the case in the palace. If there is such a little friendship, they will have a bias when they encounter something.

While chatting, I heard that the emperor didn't eat at noon.

In the afternoon, all the officials withdrew, and the emperor devoted himself to reviewing the memorials.

Wan Zhen'er was holding a Tihongchun holding box in her hand, and came quietly: "Your Majesty, I'm here to deliver some snacks."

Zhu Jianshen put the pen on the pen stand, stretched his waist, and smiled happily: "Sister Wan, you are here."

"I heard that the emperor didn't eat at noon, what's the matter?"

"Warm and swallowed food is not good. I feel really sad for the displaced people." Zhu Jian paused, and took a deep breath: "It just so happens that I am too fat now."

The historian complained: I heard that the refugees are homeless, so you are wasting food if you don’t eat.

While omitting the first sentence in the pen.

It's really too much to save face for the emperor.

Wan Zhen'er opened the holding box, and inside was a pancake fruit, a steaming hot and fragrant pancake fruit.

Zhu Jianshen happily picked it up and took a bite. The deep-fried dough sticks inside were still very crispy. He grabbed the pancake wrapped in lotus leaves and ate it. He suddenly realized that he was very hungry. Hungry belly.

Wan Zhen'er sat down on the embroidered pier next to her, and glanced at the memorial on the table: "Jian Shen, you have worked so hard, what can I do for you? Shall I rub your shoulders?"

Zhu Jianshen was lost in memory, why did I have to work so hard?Back then, when the first emperor was seriously ill in bed, he had to firmly grasp the power, and would not let the prince supervise the country... Later, the young little Zhu Baobao became the Ninth Five-Year King, and gained the supreme authority and the entire country, but what he controlled The way to manage this country all comes from books.

It's like a high-precision particle collider superimposed with the function of an interstellar energy cannon. Such a machine was handed over to a young worker who had read the manual for more than ten years, and this worker was not skilled. The engineer taught by hand.

It was horrible.

Little Zhu Baobao himself felt terrible. Fortunately, he read the notes on Qinzong’s daily life, and he knew a little about most of the ministers who could come here to talk to him, and he also knew how a real emperor talked to ministers—the book said They are all ancient sages (can be compared to the work report of model workers).

He is indeed very smart, he calmly figured out the current situation of Daming Jiangshan, and also got to know the high-ranking ministers.

Zhu Jianshen ate the salty, crispy and fragrant pancakes, while muttering: "**** doesn't like spinach, every time I invite them to have lunch together, he would secretly picky eaters, and he was embarrassed to show preference, as long as I see Looking at him, he stuffed the spinach in his mouth."

Wan Zhen'er: "Hahahaha, I have the same attitude towards celery as you do."

Zhu Jian snorted deeply: "Celery is really hard to eat, but spinach is different. ** He dozes off after eating every day. Don't look at him dozing off, but he is not confused at all. He also pretends to sleep during the day, as long as others say he doesn't like it." Listening to the topic, he began to doze off."

Wan Zhen'er: "A clever plan, in a few decades, you will be able to pretend to be asleep."

Zhu Jianshen covered his face with pancakes, and yawned: "I can pretend to be asleep now, I'm too tired. ** and ** actually secretly played blindfold chess while I was discussing matters. It's really arrogant. It hurts me to keep staring at them. Looking at the table, I didn't notice the serious things that ** said. Hey."

"My imperial meal is soft and bland, you must have never eaten braised pork without salt, alas."

Wan Zhen'er waited for him to finish eating the pancake, grabbed his hand, took the hot towel and wiped his hand, and massaged his sore wrist from writing: "Tomorrow is Muxiu, can you rest?"

"Yes, but in a few days it will be a plowing ceremony, and I will take a bath and fast." Zhu Jian sighed deeply: "I want to see what the cow looks like first."
