An old lady's life

At night, the sky was still under heavy rain. When I woke up in the morning, there was a mist and thick smoke, and the air smelled damp and cold.Before dawn, Hongye met with the managers of various shops and Zhuangzi in the front hall to conduct a quarterly review.

After Si time, the sky was bright, but it was foggy, and there was no desire for people to go out.Jia Hu and Jia Zhu couldn't play in the garden anymore, so they played with Hongye in Rongxi Hall. When they saw the stewards just now, the two brothers sat there very obediently, looking like young masters.

Not long after, the second housekeeper, Lai Jian, ran into the Rongxi Hall against the drizzle, "Old lady, what a big deal!"

Hong Ye frowned, now for the Rong Mansion, apart from the accidents of Jia She and Jia Zheng, the two serious masters, and the return of the neighbor Jia Daihua to the west, everything else is trivial.

"What's the matter?"

Lai Jian flicked his sleeves to wipe the rain from his face, and said with full joy: "It has been spread outside, the emperor canonized Zhen Zhaohua as Concubine Zhen, the decree issued half an hour ago."

Hongye nodded: "Prepare a congratulatory gift according to the usual practice. After I have a look, you send someone to deliver it to the Zhen family in the capital." Regardless of whether the Zhen family will collapse in the future, the Jia family and the Zhen family can be regarded as old relatives. For being promoted, Rong Mansion should congratulate her.

Lai Jian replied with a smile: "Yes, old lady, the old slave is going right away." He bowed and turned to leave.

Hongye is still thinking about this matter, now there are many concubines in the palace, among the four concubines, except Concubine Shu is vacant, the other three concubines are full, the empress is vacant, the palace is respected by Concubine Liu Guifei, Queen Mother of Sujun.

The position of Concubine Zhen is nothing, but being conferred on Concubine Zhen's birthday shows that the emperor is satisfied with her and the Zhen family.

The girls from Jinling of Zhen's family came to Beijing ahead of time, in the name of congratulating Concubine Zhen on her birthday, which should not be easy.Who specially invites underage girls to celebrate their birthdays, don't they just want to be in a bar?

The many princes of Emperor Changping, the eldest prince, the third and the fifth are all married and have already entered the court to run errands. One or two years old, with the behavior of the Zhen family not getting up early, could it be that the girls of the Zhen family are all going after the princes?

The more she thinks like this, the more Hongye thinks so.

Ai Cao was resting at home and was asking Xiaoqi to tell her about the rumors and joys of Beijing and China in the past two days, when Jia Min came with the news.The last time the Rong Mansion sent Jia Daishan to the funeral, I ran into several young masters and girls from the Zhen family. Jia Min’s heart is still full of anger, and the Rong Mansion is related to the Zhen family. Jia Min is a married daughter, and the Lin family is not familiar with the Zhen family. , Naturally, there is no need to give gifts.

Xiaoqi, whose eyes were rolling around, covered her mouth and laughed. Ai Cao glanced at her and asked, "Did Xiaoqi think of something funny? Why don't you tell me about it."

Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue, glanced at Jia Min, and said, "Old lady, madam, the girls from the Zhen family are making a big splash in Beijing these days."

Jia Min couldn't help being curious, girls in the boudoir want fame the most, the louder the reputation, the less beautiful it is.

"Isn't the third girl of the Zhen family already old enough? The second wife of the Zhen family is looking at the candidate, but nothing has been heard about it. It's the various banquets in Beijing these days. No matter whether the girls of the Zhen family are talented or otherwise She has been compared to other girls, and the reputation of Zhen's girl as a talented girl spread like this. Last time at the Fenglin meeting, Miss Zhen and the Seventh Prince got along very happily."

Xiaoqi paused for a moment, and said: "Passing and passing, there are rumors that the Seventh Prince is in love with Miss Zhen San."

Ai Cao almost choked, thinking of the Seventh Prince, who seemed to be still praying for his mother in the temple, but the emperor in the palace promoted her status on the day of Concubine Zhen's birthday, even though Concubine Shen Shu's birthday and Concubine Zhen's birthday were staggered It took a day, but the Seventh Prince would definitely be unhappy in his heart. He didn't dare to anger his father, but there was no doubt that he would anger Concubine Zhen and Zhen's family.

As for the Seventh Prince's favorite Miss Zhen San, isn't this nonsense?Even if the Zhen family is favored by the emperor, it is not as good as the seventh prince's grandfather, who is the real person with real power.

Huiqing Temple, today is Feng Qi's last day in the temple. He is copying Buddhist scriptures and filial piety scriptures.

Wang Minglang pursed his lips tightly and walked around the door several times before knocking on the door.

"Master, there is news from the palace that Mrs. Zhen was conferred the title of Concubine Zhen in the morning."

Feng Qi's hand that was copying the scripture paused, raised her head and glanced at Wang Minglang, put down her pen, closed her eyes, and opened them after a while, "It's okay, at least it wasn't yesterday."

"Order, I will stay in the temple for a few more days, maybe seven days." The father didn't miss his mother, he, the son, missed her.

Wang Minglang said again: "There are rumors about the master in Beijing, saying that the master has a crush on the third girl of the Zhen family."

Feng Qi frowned suddenly, "The third girl of the Zhen family?"

Wang Minglang coughed, and said in a low voice, "It's the girl who happened to meet Master on the hillside at the Fenglin meeting last time."

Feng Qi was stunned: "That woman with a face as big as a basin? Would I like her?" After the words fell, Feng Qi flew into a rage, "The Zhen family wants to plot my marriage?"

Wang Minglang's bewildered eyes suddenly cleared up, and he said seriously: "It's possible. Didn't Concubine Zhen often summon her nephews and nieces to accompany her in the palace? The emperor also often goes to Concubine Zhen's palace, master, now I'm afraid that Concubine Zhen will brag about it in front of the emperor. Pillow wind, what if she persuades the emperor to promise Miss Zhen San to you?"

The death of the master's mother and concubine means that the master lacks a backbone in the harem. Which of the ladies in the harem is a fuel-efficient lamp?

Feng Qi pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy, Wang Minglang suggested: "Why don't the subordinates go down and spread new rumors and mess up this matter?"

Feng Qi wanted to nod her head, but shook her head after a while: "No, father will definitely know, if he knows that I am fussing with a woman, he will be very disappointed if he uses such means to plot against a boudoir woman. But you still have to Always pay attention to the direction of the rumors in Beijing, my main concubine can't be the daughter of the Zhen family."

He couldn't say he hated Concubine Zhen deeply, but he hated it extremely.Six years ago, when his mother and concubine were dying of illness, the emperor was in Concubine Zhen's palace at that time. Of course, Concubine Zhen was only a low-level concubine at that time, because she came from the family of the emperor's nanny and it was Concubine Zhen's birthday, so the emperor specially stayed in the palace Among them, it can be regarded as giving face to the Zhen family.

Although the emperor arrived at the end and saw the concubine mother for the last time, Feng Qi still remembered the concubine mother's longing eyes looking at the door, and the last fire was extinguished after the emperor arrived.

The palace, the imperial study.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial. Seeing that it was getting late, Emperor Changping's voice sounded in the quiet study, "Wang Wei, has the seventh child returned to the palace yet?" His sons, except the eldest and the second, were because of the eldest son and the other because of Apart from his special concern for his son-in-law, among the other sons, only Lao Qi received his attention. Who said that Lao Qi, like the prince, lost his mother early?

Wang Wei came out from behind the door, and respectfully replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince seems to be planning to pray for blessings at Huiqing Temple for seven days."

Emperor Changping frowned, but he calmed down quickly, and said with a broken smile, "Is he trying to get angry with me? Forget it, let him go." He naturally knew that the seventh son had a grudge against Concubine Zhen. He canonized Concubine Zhen today, Lao Qi would naturally be unhappy.

Thinking of the Zhen family and Concubine Zhen, Emperor Changping suppressed his smile, and then stepped out of the imperial study, "Go to Yongle Palace."

Yongle Palace, the palace of Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen, a beautiful woman over [-] years old, she was drafted into the palace by Emperor Changping as the empress. For the sake of Concubine Zhen's grandmother, Emperor Changping always loved her a little before. Concubines always need seniority to climb the ranks. Emperor Changping was rich and powerful, and he was not a fool who was dazzled by beauty, so the promotion of concubines in the harem came step by step. Concubine Zhen did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. She only became a high-ranking concubine after more than ten years, and the sadness in this naturally needs no words.

In the past month, nephews and nieces have come to Beijing to celebrate her birthday. In fact, she doesn't know the tricks. The second aunt brought her grandmother, mother, and father to ask her to try her best to find a good marriage for her niece. It's the prince.

Concubine Zhen was considering the success rate of this matter, and the eunuch at the gate of the palace was singing: "The emperor is here!"

Emperor Changping is now in the prime of life and has been on the throne for many years. He is a bit indulgent in female sex. Of course, no matter how indulgent he is, he has to worry about his health, so he spends half of the time every month in the harem, and the rest of the time is spent with heirs. The concubines go to bed.As for Concubine Zhen, he had planned to let Concubine Zhen give birth to an heir before, but she never gave birth to a boy and a half girl. Now that the Zhen family is relying on him, he does not intend to let Concubine Zhen give birth to a dragon son. Of course, it should be given face Still have to give.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!" Concubine Zhen saluted with blessings, and was supported by Emperor Changping.

"You don't need to be too polite." Emperor Changping supported Concubine Zhen, and the two sat together in the upper seat. "Today is a good day for Concubine Ai. Do you like Concubine Ai's reward?"

Concubine Zhen looked at Emperor Changping tenderly and pitifully, with a charming look, "Your Majesty can give you anything, as long as Your Majesty cares about my concubine, I will be satisfied."

Emperor Changping patted her hand, "You, don't you just miss Aifei and come here specially to accompany Aifei?"

Concubine Zhen immediately leaned on Emperor Changping, and the two started talking about each other. During this period, Concubine Zhen mentioned her natal family, grandmother, parents, uncles and aunts, etc., and finally mentioned several nephews and nieces.

"It's all His Majesty's grace, allowing nephews and nieces to visit the court and concubines. I think the concubines were at such a beautiful age back then. In a blink of an eye, the concubines have been married to Your Majesty for so many years, and the nephews and nieces are also at the age of marriage." Concubine Zhen said. I leaned on Emperor Changping with emotion.

Emperor Changping caressed Concubine Zhen's smooth cheeks, and teased, "My concubine is not old, look at how tender her face is. Concubine Ai likes her nephews and nieces, so she should invite them into the palace to accompany you more often. Based on your current position, you should summon your natal family." , the imperial concubine will not let her go."

Concubine Zhen smiled coquettishly, the two of them were tender and affectionate all night, Concubine Zhen didn't know if it was useful for her to say good things about her niece in front of Emperor Changping from time to time, did His Majesty listen to it?

As for Emperor Changping, he never considered the daughter of the Zhen family as his serious daughter-in-law. He didn't know about the rumors outside the White Palace. Besides, the seventh child hated the Zhen family. .
