From Zhen Huan

.

Even the noble concubines dared not be presumptuous, and the other concubines in the harem were even more afraid to make trouble, which made me live a very peaceful and leisurely life for more than a year after the draft.

As little Yuhan grew up day by day, the days passed quickly, and before I came to make mental preparations, Yuhan was already six years old.He thought that he had to move out of the side hall of Zhaoyang Hall and move into the palace specially for the prince to live in, where his master would teach him etiquette in poetry, books, horseback riding and archery.

I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, and I had arranged for him a court lady and eunuch, and all the items were neatly packed, but I was still reluctant to part with him psychologically.Every day I asked Huichun to come over to have a look and bring some snacks, sweet soup and the like. In the evening, I even asked him to go back to Zhaoyang Hall to have dinner with me and chat with me before he was allowed to go back.

Even Xuan Ling blamed me for being too spoiled, but I was very tolerant of this emperor who lacked love when I was a child.

Without Yu Han who needs to take care of her every day, I am completely free, so I often go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to help take care of Yu Ze.

Three-year-old Yuze is very active, he can walk and talk, everything in this world is magical and new to him.

Although Yu Ze was weak, he was very active, and he liked to run outside the palace. He had a noble status, and all the nuns, maids and eunuchs did not dare to restrain him too much, so the queen mother had to watch in person.Unfortunately, the queen mother was not favored when she was young, and she suffered a lot, so her body was not strong, and sometimes her old diseases broke out and she couldn't control her.In view of the inherent image of Zhu Yixiu, it is naturally hard for the Queen Mother to believe that I am sincere towards Yu Ze, but my performance in the past three years is obvious to all, even Xuan Ling feels that I have a natural motherly heart.Therefore, whenever the Empress Dowager's old illness broke out and she was unwell, I would help the Empress Dowager take care of Yuze, especially in the cold winter and the lingering rain in spring. In these two seasons, I have to take care of Yuze for more than 20 days a month.

After getting along a lot, Yu Ze also has an indescribable closeness and trust to me, the queen mother, and Yu Han, the emperor's brother. I am also very good at coaxing children. Yuzawa's favorite.

In order not to make Yuze feel bored, I often take him around the imperial garden to teach him about the animals and plants outside.In addition, when Yu Han is on vacation, he will take them to have a picnic by the Taiye Pool, bake some food by himself, and cultivate their hands-on ability.Xuan Ling has also come to participate a few times. My two children and I are both bold, and we will not shrink just because Xuan Ling is around. It became more and more enthusiastic.

Xuanling also likes to carry out such activities with us, so that he can feel the beauty of being a father, and it also makes him feel like a long-awaited home.

In addition to these, I also used the textbook compiled by Ji Han to teach Yu Ze, and the effect was very good. Yu Ze became more sensible and polite, which made Xuan Ling and the Queen Mother very satisfied.

By the time of the second draft, Yuze and I were like mother and son. Instead, I stayed with me in Zhaoyang Hall for most of the day. There was no queen mother watching over here, so Yuze felt more at ease.

In the second draft, there were no particularly outstanding girls. They were beautiful, but they had no characteristics, and they couldn't give people the impression that they were eye-catching.But I still selected another group of beautiful women for Xuan Ling to fill the harem. After all, many of the previous batch of beautiful women were already rejected by Xuan Ling.

The entry of this group of beautiful girls made the harem more lively, new and old clashed, all kinds of conspiracies were endless, musk and safflower were their specialties, and even several pregnant concubines had miscarriages , including the most honored and favored concubine Hua Gui, Xuan Ling promoted her to Concubine Hua in order to compensate her.

Concubine Duan still took the blame for Xuan Ling this time, and Concubine Hua gave her red flowers, and Xuan Ling abolished the two concubines with one move, and I couldn't help feeling shuddering.

However, although there were many concubines with miscarriages, Concubine Yi and now Concubine Yigui successfully gave birth to the prince. Wen Yi, Shu and the two concubines were also born early, and there were also several concubines who were pregnant. They are all about to give birth.

Just under the seemingly peaceful appearance of the harem, a major event happened, which shocked the entire harem.

14. It should be repaired after succession

As a queen, I manage the harem, unlike the original Zhu Yixiu who is gentle and magnanimous on the surface, but actually uses insidious tricks and scheming behind the scenes.It's not like Zhu Rouze, who is tolerant and gentle both on the surface and in the heart, and has to be bullied to know how to fight back weakly.

For the restless women who manage the harem, I have always adhered to small troubles and small punishments, such as dressing the soles of my shoes, embroidering purses and handkerchiefs and other labor reforms.But if it involves causing other concubines to be disfigured, have miscarriages, or even kill them directly, I will not only punish them financially, the money from the fine will be subsidized to the victimized concubines, but also corporal punishment, including kneeling, starving, and standing in the army The most important thing is in the end, those with low status and no background are sent to the cold palace, and those with high status and strong background are detained for half a year to three years.

At the beginning, I naturally thought that my successor was easy-talking and soft-hearted, a paper tiger who borrowed my sister to ascend to the queen's position.

But soon no one thought so. When the first incident of murdering an heir happened, I directly confiscated all my property, even the hairpin still on my head. His legs were almost disabled, and he was finally sidelined.

After this incident, although the concubines will still be scheming and tricking because of the competition for favor, but most of them are petty troubles.

Although it is impossible to completely ban it, compared with the harem of previous dynasties, this is already a good atmosphere.

The smooth sailing in the harem inevitably made me lose my vigilance, so that I suffered a big loss when I was caught off guard.

Every summer, Xuanling would bring some concubines and the prince Diji to the Taiping Palace to escape the summer heat. Since it is a temporary palace, naturally it is not as strict as the palace, and I am a little lazy because of the heat, so Yurun and Yuze are not alone. Be careful and someone will take advantage of your loopholes.

There is a lot of water in the Taiping Palace Lake, and the two children have a lot of homework relief because they are in the palace. In the past, my mother, who is used to watching them closely, sleeps in the room all day long.So the two children who hadn't become suspicious sneaked out of the window sill while they were taking a nap, avoiding the nuns and maids who were taking care of them.

But the behavior of the two children seemed to be secretive, so Jianqiu found out and reported it to me, so I followed behind with a few servant girls to see what tricks the two children were going to play.

The two children originally planned to come back after taking a stroll outside, but people seized the opportunity to let the two little eunuchs play in the lake while the two passed by the lake, and then the two children thought it was interesting and followed suit. go down and play.It turned out that the seemingly shallow lake was actually very deep, and the two children lost their roof as soon as they entered, and the two young eunuchs had already run away.

And I followed behind, watching the two children jump before I could stop them, so I asked Jianqiu to take Randong to stop the two escaped eunuchs, and at the same time took Huichun and Xiuxia to the lake. side.

Huichun and Xiuxia are both from the north, but I am the only one who can swim among the three. At this time, I watched the child I have loved for two lifetimes tossing in the water, and I couldn't wait for the guards to rescue me, so I jumped down .

I have lived by the sea for decades, and the water quality has always been very good. Two children were rescued without falling, but I passed out because of fetal gas.

When Xuan Ling knew about this, I had already been sent to the Guangfeng Jiyue Hall in the Taiping Palace, but I was still unconscious.

One of the three people who had an accident this time was the only child of Xuan Ling and Empress Zhu Rouze of Chunyuan, the next emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.One is the eldest son of the current empress and Xuan Ling, who is also very much loved by Xuan Ling.There is also me, the sister of Queen Chunyuan, the current queen who gets along with Xuanling harmoniously and happily, not to mention that I am still pregnant, which is even more honorable.

Xuan Ling was naturally furious, and tortured the two young eunuchs who were captured. There was also a large-scale investigation in the palace. The truth soon became clear, but it was not the concubine who did it, but Xuan Ling's elder brother, King Runan.

The incident of murdering the emperor's heir shocked the entire imperial court and the harem. For a while, both of them were cautious, lest they be regarded as colluding with the King of Runan, especially the concubines in the harem wanted to stay in their own palace and dared not step on their feet. Take a step out of the palace gate.

The relationship between King Runan and Xuanling has always been at odds, and the original text even forced the palace. However, the weight of a queen and two princes is not enough, so King Runan ended up losing his life as in the original text, but the whole family was exiled to the southwest Guarding, the prince will be lowered by three levels, and he will never be allowed to enter the capital.

After I woke up, not only did the two children trust and depend on me more, but Xuan Ling also recognized me as a queen more and more, and the words were no longer "not as good as your sister" but "as expected of Wanwan" sister'.Although I feel very indifferent to such words, gaining Xuan Ling's trust and approval will naturally make my future road smoother and smoother.

Some time before and after I gave birth to Yurun (forgive me for my incompetence in naming), two new princes and two concubines were added to the harem, which made Xuanling, who had been childless for many years, very happy, and praised me: "There are queens like this, and my husband will come back." What do you want?"

By the time my youngest son Yurun turned 25, Xuanling was just [-], and the third draft began as scheduled.

Among them, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and others were successfully selected, and what they saw in front of them was a prosperous and gorgeous palace, concubines who had their own tempers but abided by etiquette, gentle and virtuous queens, handsome and affectionate emperors, and the same characters as those already in the book. is vastly different.
