When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, there are thousands of mundane affairs to be dealt with, as well as the funeral of the emperor Daxing.As for Daiyu, she had to take care of the internal affairs of the Daming Palace and meet relatives and wives, so she couldn't be idle.

After a few months of such busy work, due to both national filial piety and family filial piety, all the banquets and happy events in the palace were postponed.Until the end of autumn, a minister from the former court suggested that the selection of women should be resumed to fill the harem, and Shui Lan used the excuse of the new funeral of Emperor Daxing to dismiss the matter with all his heart and all sincerity.

Daiyu also heard about this, and her heart was inevitably sad.Although it is not the first time that Shui Lan has refused, the emperor is the co-lord of the world and has the responsibility to continue the royal family's future generations. How long can such a single-minded person last?

In the warm spring season of the coming year, the peach blossoms in the Royal Garden are in full bloom, and the emperor still does not let go of the general election, and some people feel anxious.Speaking of this day, just after the discussion in the Mingde Palace here, after hearing people's words, he dragged Chu Chen and the two of them to ask the inner supervisor to deliver a message, and went to the side hall of Zichen Palace to wait for Shui Lan.

Shui Lan heard that the two of them had gone and turned back, wondering while going to the side hall to meet each other.When Wen Renyu saw the emperor, he quickly knelt down and bowed, saying: "I am not talented. I have a word to persuade your majesty. I hope your majesty will not blame you."

Shui Lan was surprised when he heard this, so he helped him up, saying it was okay.Wen Renyu corrected his expression, and said: "Your Majesty and Mrs. Qiyuan are deeply in love, but the patriarchal treasure cannot be without inheritance. Although Your Majesty does not like to listen to the words of admonishing concubines today, it is not so It's a false sentiment. I implore your Majesty for the sake of the country and the world, and to put up with the selfishness of the children, and consider multiple considerations first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the faint expression on Shui Lan's face, and couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger for a moment.Unexpectedly, when Chu Chen heard about it, he became furious, pointed at Wen Renyu and cursed: "You bastards! You people don't do serious things, and you stare at His Majesty's harem all day long, and you are full of words!" The whole world is full of hypocrisy!"

Wen Renyu knelt on the ground without arguing, and suddenly heard a cold voice from above, and said quietly: "A Yu, you and Chu Chen have been with Gu for so many years, you should know Gu's temperament. If Gu and Da Like the emperor and the emperor, those who look forward and look backward, endure and do it, will never wait until today. So what you said is not worth mentioning to Gu."

Wen Renyu was ashamed to speak out, but at the moment he didn't care much, and hastily kowtowed again: "But your majesty, as the co-lord of the world, you must have a prosperous son, so that the dynasty can be peaceful and prosperous!"

Shui Lan gave him a strange look, and waved his hands casually: "I don't believe this kind of stupid thing. The late emperor gave birth to more than a dozen sons, and they are not a bunch of wimps." After a pause, the cold voice was dyed A little bit of warmth: "If God is merciful, so that Gu and Mrs. Qiyuan can get a prince, it will be good to teach him to be a talent; if there is no such blessing, it is also destined by God, so there is no need to force it."

This time, before Wen Renyu answered, Chu Chen suddenly asked: "Your Majesty's meaning... Mrs. Qiyuan's body..."

"Beautiful purples and reds can't match the goodness of your heart, so there is no need to mention this matter in the future." Shui Lan's eyes completely cooled down, and said in a deep voice: "A Yu, I will also bring a message to those who encouraged you to come here today, take a break Stop thinking about stuffing people in, there is only one place in Gu's harem." He blushed when he heard the words, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

When the two bowed to say goodbye, Shui Lan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Shi Shiran walked out of the Nuan Pavilion, and gently pressed his shoulder from behind: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with my body?"

Shui Lan's shock was no small matter, she opened her eyes and said, "Yu'er, you just..."

It turned out that Daiyu had come to Zichen Palace to deliver snacks to Shuilan, but the one who made a mistake heard it clearly in the room.Her mind is no longer as sharp and nimble, and when she suddenly sees his words, she knows that there is something wrong with her body, which may be inseparable from the childbirth, and then thinks that the two have been married for ten years, and they have nothing but Shui Han The whole person couldn't help but fell into an ice cave, with a handkerchief in his hand, wiped his tears and said: "I thought it was because of the bad luck that didn't come, but it turned out that I didn't have the good fortune to add another child to Your Majesty, no wonder the court persuaded His Majesty again and again Accept concubines, you shouldn’t make mistakes for me alone!”

Seeing Daiyu's tear-stained face and worry-filled eyes, Shui Lan hurriedly held her hand and comforted her softly: "You just said it out of anger. Since you were inside just now, didn't you hear what Gu said to them?" ? Gu treats you wholeheartedly, but you are as inconsiderate as outsiders, doesn't it make Gu sad?"

Daiyu couldn't feel moved when she heard this, so she leaned on Shui Lan's shoulder, feeling his warm and stable breath all these years, and said, "An Lan, is it true that I can no longer bear children for you?"

"What's the big deal." Feeling a little shy, Shui Lan immediately put on a slight smile on her face: "At the time, the imperial physician only said one thing. Even if it was true, we already have Xiaoxiangtao, so we should be satisfied. "

Before he finished speaking, Shui Lan only felt a little wet on his shoulders.He didn't say anything more, and let the person in his arms lean on and cry. The emperor and empress sat peacefully in Zichen Palace for a long time, until the night wind suddenly blew over, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard fell heavily. one place.

After that day, Chaoshang's talk about the harem has been quiet for quite a while. Although Daiyu was very sad when she found out the truth, she was not as busy as before, so she was not overly sad.What's more, Zijuan, Chunxiao and others comforted her, and Shui Lan often came to accompany her after she finished her work, so Fang Lue slightly turned around.

It's just that Wen Renyu's words cut open his heart like a sharp knife.After Daiyu thought about it, Shui Lan cared for her very much, but she couldn't be so selfish, relying on his affection for her, and fell into a childless situation like Emperor Yongqing.

So I asked Zijuan to take care of it, pay attention to the situation of the women of different ages in each family, after careful consideration, I chose two of them who were wealthy and handsome, and invited them to Changchun Palace for a small banquet.I saw two beautiful little girls greeting each other, one with almond-eyed round face was very charming, the other with delicate features and delicate features, somewhat similar to myself, they smiled and asked Zijuan in a low voice: "Has His Majesty invited you?"

Zijuan nodded, and said hesitantly: "Young lady, why bother to make trouble, your majesty will not like it if she finds out." Daiyu shook her head, and only let her go down to make trouble.

After a while, Daiyu asked Gong'e to take the two of them to the garden with an excuse, and naturally attracted water waves to go there.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a short time, Zijuan came back in a panic, and replied: "Master, go and persuade, Your Majesty was very angry, and scared the two girls to cry. Dare to step forward."

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, and hurried to the place where the accident happened, and she saw Shuilan standing in the middle of the scene, dressed in a dragon robe, looking handsome and stern, and shouted: "The forbidden area of ​​the harem, idlers are not allowed to come in and out at will, and they are not taken out!"

Looking at the palace eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, Daiyu signaled them to step back first, and walked slowly to Shui Lan's side, Fushen said: "All blessings, Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"

Shui Lan looked at her for a long time, then suddenly sneered: "My wife is virtuous, but I can't afford it alone." He raised his head and glanced at Zijuan who was following behind, and said: "The master made a mistake, and the servant took the place. Let Zijuan Imprisoned in the Punishment Division, no one is allowed to visit without Gu's permission."

Daiyu couldn't believe her ears, she hastily judged: "Your Majesty, this matter is my own decision and has nothing to do with others. If your majesty is angry, punish the ministers and concubines, don't drag others."

"Yu'er, do you know what makes Gu the most angry?" Shui Lan turned her face away, with a look of impatience: "Gu Yu'er should always be the proud woman who is inseparable from Gu Baishou. Gu Baishou Don't look at your most beloved woman, for the sake of heirs and virtuous fame, she has done so many things all her life, begging for perfection and being unhappy. As a result, you can't understand Gu's mind at all."

Said Daiyu's eyes were red, tears fell down, and she whimpered: "Your Majesty, concubines are not worth it." Shui Lan looked at her for a long time, turned around and left without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, within seven months, Chu Chen suddenly published a book of symposiums, and the one he was participating in was the current emperor.There is a lot of eloquence in it, but it is nothing more than accusing the emperor, as the lord of the world, that he should govern the country with filial piety and love the people like a son. If a woman from the world is elected to worship one person, the people will be separated from each other, which is really sanctimonious.

As soon as the memorial was published, there was silence, because all the courtiers with conscience knew that this was talking nonsense with their eyes open.

Not to mention choosing concubines arbitrarily, Emperor Jingxi has never paid much attention to female sex since he succeeded to the throne, and there is only one Mrs. Qiyuan, so the real instigator of this memorial can still be found out by veteran officials who can see clearly of.Sure enough, soon Shui Lan personally drafted an edict of guilt, "confessed" to what Chu Chen had played, changed the old system of abolishing the Six Palaces to simply abolishing the Six Palaces, and dismissed the concubine left by Emperor Yongqing to support her life. And cancel the "vulgar custom" of elections every three years.

Strangely, the Guilt Edict did not cause any uproar.The court's attitude towards Emperor Jingxi seems to be no surprise, and even Dugu Ye, the chief assistant now, strongly praised: "Your Majesty is indeed a model for all people in the world." Therefore, the style of respecting his wife began to prevail among the people. If there is a good thing The people dismissed it, so they all laughed and said: "Even the emperor has only one lady."

However, Shui Lan never went to Changchun Palace again, as if he forgot that his only wife lived there.

The author has something to say: Can everyone understand Shui Lan's ideas?He wanted to be emperor because he didn't want to be controlled by others and make his wife and children wronged, so he behaved stronger after he took office, especially in the affairs of the harem, outsiders were not allowed to intervene.He himself knew about Daiyu's inability to regenerate ten years ago, so he has already looked down on the offspring.
