Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

In the late summer of Chunjia's thirteenth year, smallpox suddenly broke out during the imperial ban.

The emperor was Li Shuyi, and he strictly refused the persuasion of the princes and did not allow any harem imperial heirs to enter and exit. When announcing the entire harem was sealed off, he even set an example and stayed in the Taichu Palace. The servants used baskets to collect the memorial documents from the courtiers through the palace wall, and then verbally conveyed the instructions of the emperor.

On that day, many courtiers who had been granted official duties or had not yet granted official duties, but who had been granted permission and did not have to go to the court, rushed to the gate of the palace, crying and crying, persuading the emperor to avoid the palace with the royal blood and the emperor.

The emperor refused to retreat, and asked for the queen and others who were suspected of being infected with smallpox to leave the palace. However, Chunjia rejected it.

What he said was very emotional, saying that there are many waiters and doctors in the palace forbidden. Even if the smallpox breaks out, the whole army will not be annihilated. However, Li Shu outside does not have such conditions, so the blockade of Miyagi is certainly harmful to the royal family. It is beneficial to the people.

As the son of emperor, protecting the people is part of the business.

As for why he didn't leave, it was because he was not only the monarch of the people, but also the father of the wife, and he couldn't bear to leave his concubine and heir alone at this time.

However, the emperor specially arranged for the imperial army to **** the empress dowager to leave the palace and go to Qishan Palace for temporary shelter, in order to be filial piety.

The veterans who were touched by these words burst into tears on the spot, and when they returned to the mansion, they "can't help but" tell their wives, children and servants about the benevolence and graciousness of today's son.

So within two days, the whole of Gyeonggi learned that Chunjia's love for the people is like a child, as well as affection and righteousness, and it spread to farther places at a very fast speed.

Although the emperor of the Gongxiang clan had never abused his people so far, the displacement before the founding of the country has been forgotten after several decades of Chengping. But some people took the lead. Most of the people were still grateful. The temples and Taoist temples all over the country were full of incense for a time. Countless people prayed piously for the blessing of such a holy emperor. You must have no danger, peace and joy, long live Long live.

At this moment, the emperor who succeeded in achieving fame did not have time to rejoice. Instead, he listened solemnly to the report from the people under him: "...The two close servants of the empress empress are not good at first half a day. The three princes and ten princes just There was also a fever. Empress Empress is not thinking about eating and drinking, and she has cried and passed out twice!"

"I have given my word to the queen. Now that the harem is blocked, it is inconvenient for me to go. The emperors can only rely on the concubine." Chunjia was too lazy to get angry, and only said calmly, "If the queen herself has lost, Xiao San Xiaoshi thought Who will be taken care of? Should I let me in in person regardless of Sheji, or let other concubines go?"

This word was passed to the Chongchang Hall, and after the crying and persuasion of the attendants, Gu Zhen finally took a sigh of relief and ate half a bowl of porridge.

As the daughter of a military commander, she used to ride horses to the frontier when she was young and was good at riding and shooting. The queen's physical foundation is very good. When I started eating, my spirit and energy quickly recovered.

Asked about the situation of the entire harem with the spirit of fighting, left and right whispered: "In addition to our palace, there are also some things that have happened to Empress Defei, Empress Jing, and Madame Qingshu... But so far they are still palace people. The theme and the emperor's heir have not yet been reported."

The queen was silent and asked, "Where is the noble concubine?"

"I haven't heard anything about Xuanqing Palace."

"It seems that it was indeed not made by the imperial concubine." Gu Zhen couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or a sigh of relief. Her mood is very complicated now.

On the one hand, when the three princes and ten princes were all suspected of contracting smallpox, it was hard for the queen not to hope that this was done by the noble concubine, and later resolved this confidant concern in one fell swoop. After all, although the two princes were also distressed, but As the emperor suspected, whether she was her or the Gu family, there was also the protection of the twelve princes raised in the partial hall of the Taichu Palace.

Even if the three princes and ten princes are all ill, distressed to distressed, anger to anger, the future of Queen Gu and the Gu family is better.

On the other hand, out of fear of Emperor Yunfenghuang’s favor and scheming, the queen did not want to confront the imperial concubine.

Because of such a serious crime, once Xuanqing Palace is resolved, it will be fine. If the result of the trouble is that Chunjia is reluctant to bear the noble concubine at all, and is forced to suppress it, then...instead, the empress and the Gu clan will not be favored, which will bring greater hidden dangers to the future dispute of the East Palace.

Nowadays, I heard that Xuanqing Palace was peaceful, and I guessed that the acne mark on the veil had nothing to do with the imperial concubine. The queen's heart was mixed.

After being silent for a while, she said slowly, "On the side of Concubine De, Concubine Jing, and Madam Qingshu, did you have a visit with people under my palace in the previous few days?"

"Yes." The attendant pursed her lips and whispered, "There is a maid in the palace of Concubine De concubine, who is the same town as the little maid in our palace; there are people who are familiar with the concubine Jing and Madam Qingshu. There are contacts."

She hesitated, "Actually, there are also concubine palaces."

The queen subconsciously said: "Then why is there nothing in the imperial concubine palace?"

When I asked this, I felt a bit cruel again, and I couldn't help but sigh in secret, and looked up at the bronze mirror not far away. I only felt that the tired gorgeous woman in the mirror looked less and less like the self in memory.

The strangeness made her feel dazed and trembling.

But the queen couldn't escape, so she had to continue to say: "On the noble concubine's side, the other emperor heirs are fine. The fifteenth prince is so young, is it all right?"

Seeing her attendant nodded, the little guilt in her heart instantly dissipated, and she turned into anger: Why is the king of Jin who has been less than three months okay, but the three princes and ten princes became feverish first? !

Yun Fenghuang is so good, so blessed, and even his biological children are so favored? ? ?

"..." The queen sullen her face for a long time, then sighed and said slowly, "Nothing, leave it alone. Your Majesty is right. Now the most important thing is to take good care of the three princes and ten princes."

If these two children are not good, she... isn't herself the most painful?

Even if it is Chunjia, he may not care much about the three princes and ten princes, and may be more concerned about the ten princes, but if the ten princes are gone, the queen believes that the emperor may be more angry than grief.

Anyway, the emperor now has many heirs. The four princes were gone, and he didn't see how sad the emperor was, and he didn't even bother about his future affairs.

In particular, there is still a twelve princes in the Piandian of the Taichu Palace. What is Chunjia anxious about?

The accounts can be calculated slowly, but the safety of the two children is urgent.

After consoling herself, the queen gathered her energy to take care of the two children. In Huanhua Hall, Yun Fenghuang was expressionless, looking at Chen Jing underneath: "How about those cheap maids today?"

Chen Jing knew that his master was in a bad mood for the past two days. In fact, since Chunjia blocked the harem, no one in the harem has been in a good mood.

At this moment, he said with a trembling: "If you return to your mother, everything is fine for the slave servant and no one has a fever."

"That's good. Keep watching." Yun Fenghuang put a little snack. After receiving the news of smallpox that day, she immediately checked the Sixth Palace and learned that the palace under Chen Jing happened to be with Yanfu Palace. After asking about the queen's recent situation, and afterwards, someone in Yanfu Palace was diagnosed with smallpox by the imperial physician, and he was dizzy!

Not only were the palace members who were in contact with the palace members of Yanfu Palace immediately imprisoned and were not allowed to enter or leave, but also ordered all the emperor heirs to be guarded at the residence, not allowed to go beyond the slightest!

Even King Jin who is less than three months old is no exception.

After all, in this case, it is difficult to guarantee that smallpox will not reach Xuanqing Palace.

Separating yourself from the emperor's heirs and nieces, so that someone might be spared. It's better than gathering together and getting all of them.

For this reason, she still can't rest assured, people are staring at the palace people who are in contact with Yanfu Palace every day, just in case.

There is still nothing to do today, Yun Fenghuang thought about what the imperial doctors said, and if it is still okay in some days, it means that Xuanqing Palace should be a surprise this time.

So she felt a little better, and then asked Chen Jing, "How are other palaces recently? Is there any news from the past?"

Chen Jing was about to answer, but someone from the palace hurried in, kneeling to report: "Manny, Princess Zhaoqing insists on seeing you, the maids can't stop them!"

Only after the words fell, Zhaoqing shouted loudly.

Yun Fenghuang frowned, and said: "A bunch of trash! Go down and lead a long memory! Next time, go to the court with the palace!"

After scolding the palace people, she wondered in her heart that she was too fond of King Qin and Zhaoqing, especially Zhaoqing? So much so that even a six-year-old girl couldn't stop a six-year-old girl!

"It seems that in the future we still have to give the people underneath a little bit of speech, don't tell them to hold Zhaoqing too much." The imperial concubine said inwardly, "Otherwise, it will be fine for this child to listen to what the palace says in the future. If you don't listen, Doesn't it just make my palace angry!"

Settling down, Yun Fenghuang told Chen Jing, "Go out and say to Zhaoqing from a distance, and let her go back. The people in front of the queen came to see the palace directly. Since there is a problem with the veil, now In this palace, the most dangerous thing is that this palace and you can't escape, so don't give it to her if you get sick!"

Chen Jing led the way, but Zhaoqing instead of listening to persuasion, she shouted: "Mother concubine! Your son is not afraid of being sick! Erchen has not seen his mother and concubine for several days, so the son I want to greet my mother and concubine!"

……You are not afraid of passing the sickness to this palace, but this palace is afraid that if you are good at first, you will be spreading the sickness, OK?

The corner of Yun Fenghuang's mouth twitched. Did she know that not everyone who came into contact with smallpox marks would be passed on? No matter how fierce the epidemic was, there were always some who could survive by relying on their physical strength.

Although she was unable to bear children for several years, when it comes to the sturdiness of the body, no one in this harem can compare to her except the queen who came from Jiangmen.

No, the queen may be better than her a few years earlier, but now, considering her age, she may not be able to match her.

In this way, Yun Fenghuang said that he was thinking about the emperor's heirs, but he actually felt that if smallpox was really quietly passed into Xuanqing Palace, he should have an advantage over a few children.

So Zhaoqing took it seriously?

This silly daughter...

Yun Fenghuang shook her head helplessly. Although she didn't want Zhaoqing to be out of her control, she really felt speechless when she looked at the child so stupid.

Can you really help the king win the throne in the future?

It seems that not only should we try to suppress this child's position in Xuanqing Palace, those scheming cities should also not be able to teach them, so they have to be serious about it. Otherwise, when you were young, you can still say that the children are cute and cute. If you continue to do this, don't let Chunjia be disgusted.

After all, the second emperor is also old, don't look at the child who is usually silent, since she calmly changed herself to a foster mother who values ​​her more, she knows that this is not a good thing.

If Zhaoqing continues to have no city mansion so much, he will be taken over by this younger sister someday.

"Don't pay attention to her child's house." Yun Fenghuang instructed lightly, "Let her go back. If she doesn't go back, I will say that my palace dislikes children who make a fool of me at critical moments and will never see her again!"

She had a firm attitude, Zhaoqing naturally couldn't twist it, and after a long time, she cried away.

After confirming Zhaoqing's departure, Yun Fenghuang asked Chen Jing, who was out to convey the words, to bathe and change his clothes. Then he asked the waiter at the door: "What happened to her? Why did you come to see the palace suddenly?"

"Hui Niangniang, your Highness seems to be bored in the room for a long time, and was persuaded by the left and right to make a few grievances." The waiter cautiously reported, "Miss Ao came here just now, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, she just pulled her. Sleeve persuaded her to go back, but was pushed to the ground by His Highness in the middle, hurting her arm."

"Let someone send them two bottles of medicine." Yun Fenghuang frowned, "Why didn't King Qin stay in the house like Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu, why didn't I see them making trouble? This palace is really too spoiled. Now, she’s so inadequate. I don’t want to think that there is an emperor at the knee of this palace. What if she has a long and two short ones, what should I do if I call this palace? The palace guarding her is also damn, Zhaoqing is young, I don’t know the severity, they don’t know?! I think it’s too light to think about the ten boards. I think it’s a special situation in the current palace and it’s not easy to change people. I will write it down for the time being. It is inconvenient to mobilize the staff, and the palace will deal with them all, and another sensible person will come up!"

She had a seizure, Chen Jing also packed up, and stood far away very interestingly, and stopped at the place where she had just entered the door. After saluting, she continued to report: "Next to the Yijia Palace, there is also Empress Jing. On Mrs. Qingshu's side, some palace people started to get fever. In other places, there is no news for the time being... As for the previous dynasty, I heard that your Majesty could not bear the spread of the people and insisted on sealing the palace. Many veterans rushed to the palace gate and begged for your majesty. Regarding the royal blood as the most important thing, but your majesty ignores...The Li generals are very grateful after knowing it now. It is said that many people spontaneously go to the gate of the palace and worship from afar, and every household burns incense and prays, wishing your majesty, the harem, and the heirs well. long."

Yun Fenghuang was not surprised by Chunjia's move to push the boat along the river, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, naturally reluctant to suffer Li Shu. By the way, where is the Queen Mother?"

It was already two days before the Empress Dowager left the palace, but Yun Fenghuang was worried about the safety of his wife at this moment, but didn't have the mind to care about the outside world.

At this moment, listening to Chen Jing said that the emperor sent someone to **** the Empress Dowager out of the palace at night to go to Qishan Palace to take shelter. Not only did he choose to leave at night when there was no one, but also the nearest city gate, and after Fengjia passed by, he died. People scatter and clean up, so that wherever they go, the smell of medicine does not disappear for three days, which shows that the holy emperor's pure filial piety, and his fist and fist love to his people.

Yun Fenghuang laughed: "Your Majesty is still so dripping."

I don't know how the Queen Mother was feeling when she was sent away.

I don't think it should be too good?

And Yun Fenghuang didn't believe it. Chunjia did it purely to save face. Maybe there are other ideas. For example, take this opportunity to see if he can catch the remnants of the Ji family?
