Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

The system of burying people alive with their loved ones in Zhongzhou was abolished in the previous dynasty, and the Song Dynasty naturally did not re-select them.

The previous emperor was addicted to wine and sex, and there were dozens of concubines in the harem alone, not to mention the nobles, good women, and talented women under the concubines. If these were counted, there would be nearly two hundred people.

Although the struggles in the harem caused some deaths and injuries to the concubines in the harem, there were still more than 170 people after the death of the previous emperor.

After Emperor Xuanhe Chu Nan ascended to the throne, he still had some power in the early days. A grand selection of concubines was held across the country, and a total of more than 100 beauties were recruited into the palace.

And these nobles had to be served by palace maids and eunuchs around them, which made the palace in a saturated state.

After Emperor Xuanhe was deposed, Emperor Yong'an ascended to the throne. As the emperor, the women in the harem were almost all the women of his father and grandfather. He had only a few of them, and they lived together in the palace. Emperor Yong'an felt uncomfortable.

In addition, as the emperor, he naturally had to choose concubines for himself. It was not okay to have no place to live in the harem.

So Emperor Yong'an found Empress Dowager Liang Ji and wanted to dismiss some of the concubines of the previous emperor and the emperor.

Of course, another reason is that Emperor Yong'an is worried that Chen Mo will attack the concubines of the previous emperor and the emperor, which will damage the reputation of the royal family.

After all, Chen Mo's reputation of being lustful and loving other people's wives is known to the world.

These concubines are almost all other people's wives.

Although Emperor Yong'an did not dare to resist Chen Mo, he still had to protect the face of the royal family.

Moreover, Emperor Yong'an had informed the emperor, and the latter agreed.

Liang Ji agreed to help Emperor Yong'an for this reason.

It's okay for her to degenerate and commit herself to Chen Mo. After all, she is also the queen dowager of a country, and she has to protect the face of the royal family. Perhaps this can reduce her guilt.

Although Liang Ji did not wear the dragon robe like last time, which was less exciting, this gorgeous and expensive palace skirt was also very beautiful.

"What does the Queen Mother plan to do?"

Chen Mo didn't know what Liang Ji and Emperor Yong'an were thinking, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

He took in girls, and he took the boutique route, not just taking in any pretty girl.

While talking, Chen Mo pulled Liang Ji's clothes to the left and right, moved closer, and rolled around in that broad chest.

Liang Ji immediately groaned, and her tone rose uncontrollably, making her panic and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth to suppress the sound coming out of her mouth. When she got used to it, she said: "This... is still broad daylight."

"What's the difference...? Just draw the curtain." Chen Mo was eating fruit and said vaguely: "You say what you want."

Liang Ji: "..."

She glanced at the young man in her arms with anger, and had no choice but to hold his head lightly and talk.

"Didn't the King of Wei ask His Majesty to summon the princes of the world to Beijing? What I mean is that some of the concubines in the harem are the biological mothers of those princes. After these princes come to Beijing, let them live with their sons in their fiefdoms.

As for the women in the harem who have no children, they will be released to go home, and those below the rank of concubines and imperial concubines will be allowed to remarry." Liang Ji's face became redder as she spoke.

"This... I have no opinion, but my opinion does not count. Your Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus, and the clan members have to agree on this." Chen Mo raised his head and looked at the eyes that were already full of spring water, and said.

Of course he would not have any opinion, and even agreed with both hands and feet.

After all, there are so many mouths in the harem to eat, and they all need money, and they are not engaged in production. Dispatching them from the palace can save a lot of money.

In addition, those women below the rank of concubines and imperial concubines can also be used to reward subordinates.

"Your Majesty and the Emperor have already agreed, and your Majesty's harem is declining, and he will need to take concubines in the future, so this will free up some space in the palace. As for the royal family, has the King of Wei forgotten that almost all the royal family members who could manage things in Luonan were murdered by Lu Sheng, the rebel." Liang Ji said.

"Then let's do it."

Chen Mo raised his head and pinched Liang Ji's crystal-clear chin. At this moment, her clothes were half undressed, and her palace skirt slipped from her shoulders to her elbows, revealing her smooth and white shoulders and the two round moons.

Seeing the young man staring at her with burning eyes, Liang Ji was very uncomfortable and wanted to pull up her palace skirt, but saw that person said: "I want the Queen Mother to kiss me."

After these words came out, Liang Ji looked at Chen Mo in a daze.

Does this person know what he is talking about?

"If the Queen Mother doesn't kiss me, I won't leave Shoukang Palace today."

Chen Mo let go of Liang Ji, fell back, and lay directly on the bed with the Queen Mother's fragrance. He stretched out his hand and said, "Queen Mother, I will only count to five."

"One." Chen Mo bent a finger every time he counted a number.

"You bastard." Liang Ji was not a little girl, so she knew what Chen Mo was up to. He wanted to use this to discipline her.

"Two." Chen Mo paused, counted "three" again, and then bent two fingers in succession.

"To be honest, I haven't tried what it feels like to stay overnight in the harem. I can try it today." Chen Mo said.

Liang Ji's eyes pierced the young man in the python robe, and she couldn't help but think of the night in Luonan.

There was no rest for the whole night.

"Four." Chen Mo said.

"You're hurrying me up." Liang Ji snorted, took a breath, raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin on her head. Without the restraint of the hairpin, her black hair was scattered on her shoulders, covering a large area of ​​snow-white skin. She lifted the hair covering her cheeks behind her ears, sat on the bed, supported the bed with one hand, put the other hand on Chen Mo's shoulder, and gradually approached Chen Mo.

As her face gradually approached, a strand of Liang Ji's hair fell on Chen Mo's face, itching.

Chen Mo could clearly smell the fragrance from Liang Ji's hair and the rouge on her body. The fragrance was not strong, but very good, giving people a high-end feeling.

"Why are you so slow? Doesn't the Queen Mother even know how to kiss?" Chen Mo smiled.

"Of course, do you think I'm a little girl?" Liang Ji said angrily.

Soon, a touch of sweetness came from Chen Mo's lips, making him subconsciously sip it, like jelly with the taste of petals.

At this moment, Liang Ji's eyes widened a little, and she was about to look up, but Chen Mo held her head.

Their faces were pressed together, and Liang Ji's black hair hung down like a curtain, covering the scene of their kiss.

After kissing for an unknown period of time, Liang Ji felt that she was about to suffocate, and kept patting Chen Mo's shoulders, her face flushed.

But Chen Mo seemed to be challenging her limit, and instead held her head tighter.

Almost three minutes later, Chen Mo let her go.

"Huff."

Liang Ji panted heavily, breathing in the fresh air. In the past few minutes, she seemed to have walked through the gate of death, and her eyes were still a little absent-minded.

After a while, she looked at Chen Mo, who was staring at her with a smirk, and said angrily: "Is it fun?"

"Yeah."

"Go to hell."

Liang Ji raised her hand and slapped Chen Mo's face.

But she naturally did not succeed, and was caught by Chen Mo.

It seems that all women are like this, hitting people in this way when they are angry.

"Let go." Liang Ji bit her pink lips and said angrily.

"You gave me your hand, but now you want me to let go."

Chen Mo not only did not let go, but grabbed her wrist and brought it close to him, then grabbed her fingers and gently touched the slightly moist fingertips.

Liang Ji's originally angry plump face suddenly blushed like clouds and burned like fire.

This reminded her of her mother telling her the love story between her and her father when she was a child.

Her father and mother were childhood sweethearts and played together when they were young.

At that time, her parents were playing in the garden. Her mother liked a flower and wanted to pick it. As a result, her finger was pricked by the thorns on the flower stem. Her mother was still young at the time and cried directly.

When her father saw it, he took her mother's injured finger and put it in his mouth, gently sucking the wound, and gently saying comforting words.

From that moment on, her mother fell in love with her father and kept it in her heart.

Although it was just a small thing, love often happens in small things between bits and pieces.

Liang Ji didn't know why she thought of her parents at this time.

Unlike her parents, Chen Mo's move was obviously a teasing, but Liang Ji didn't hate it at all, but felt a different feeling in her heart.

When she was with that man, he had never done such a shameful thing.

Chen Mo let go of Liang Ji's hand, suddenly stood up and pushed her down, hugged her in his arms, leaned forward, and held the two petals of her lips.

Liang Ji snorted, and her already flushed face was flushed again. For some reason, after what happened just now, she didn't resist or dodge at this time, but her eyelashes drooped down, and she cooperated with the young man's flirting.

It wasn't until the hem of her skirt was lifted by Chen Mo that Liang Ji reacted, but it was too late at this moment.

Liang Ji snorted, and finally hugged his neck with both hands, and the two kissed each other, kissing passionately.

...

The other side

Empress Zhao did not accompany Emperor Yong'an all the time. Although she was a little tired of Emperor Yong'an, after Emperor Yong'an reminded her last time, Empress Zhao did not go to Emperor Yong'an during the day, fearing that she would run into Chen Mo.

But because there were so many concubines in the harem, Empress Zhao had nowhere to go. As for the remaining concubines of Emperor Yong'an, Empress Zhao was already very familiar with them. When they were together, they had nothing to talk about.

With nothing to do, she walked towards Shoukang Palace and planned to talk to Liang Ji.

Because of the replacement of the palace maids and eunuchs, Empress Zhao, who was already isolated from the news, became even more isolated.

And since it was about Chen Mo, the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem would naturally not tell Empress Zhao that Chen Mo was in Shoukang Palace now.

Empress Zhao went straight to the outside of Shoukang Palace, just when she was about to ask the maid to report.

A figure walked straight out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, with a face full of smugness.

The man was wearing a python robe, who else could it be but Chen Mo.

When Queen Zhao saw Chen Mo, she turned around and tried to run away.

But Chen Mo also saw Queen Zhao, and his expression froze.

However, if he tried to hide it, he would appear guilty, so Chen Mo directly greeted Queen Zhao: "Queen?"

After hearing Chen Mo's words, if Queen Zhao pretended not to hear, it would be too obvious.

Queen Zhao turned around and smiled: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."

Chen Mo walked over and bowed to Queen Zhao: "Your Highness, Queen."

Empress Zhao was wearing a light golden palace dress, and her skin was as white as spring snow. When she faced Chen Mo, her eyebrows tilted slightly, and even her eyes looked down, as if she was avoiding him. Her face was extremely beautiful, and she exuded a noble and proud aura.

As the current queen, unlike the former queens Liang Ji and Xu Ying, Liang Ji and Xu Ying were beautiful women, while Empress Zhao was a young woman of the flower letter type, looking younger, with a slim figure and not plump.

Moreover, Empress Zhao was not as generous as Liang Ji and Xu Ying, and did not dare to look directly at Chen Mo.

"King Wei, there is no need to be polite." Empress Zhao said.

"Is the queen here to see the queen mother?" Chen Mo said.

"Yes." Empress Zhao nodded lightly.

Chen Mo said, "The queen mother is inside. Just now, the queen mother talked to me about the treatment of some concubines in the harem."

Empress Zhao nodded again, and her heart couldn't help but become nervous.

Why did he tell me this?

Why didn't he leave?

Although Queen Zhao was curious about why Chen Mo was here, she didn't dare to ask. She just wanted Chen Mo to leave quickly to avoid being alone with him.

Queen Zhao was a little socially anxious, and Chen Mo was the kind of "powerful minister" that people feared. As the regent of the dynasty, Queen Zhao was afraid of him.

The reason why Chen Mo talked to Queen Zhao was to buy time for Liang Ji so that she could have time to clean up.

Chen Mo chatted with Queen Zhao for a few more words, and when it was almost done, he said goodbye to Queen Zhao.

After Chen Mo left, Queen Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time wondered why the other party asked her what he was doing.

He also asked why her father didn't serve as an official in the court.

Queen Zhao didn't dare to let her father serve as an official in the court.

The court was so chaotic now, first Xu Guozhong, then Lu Sheng, and then Chen Mo.

The ministers in the court died one after another, just like they didn't want money.

Queen Zhao didn't want her father to end up in the same way.

In the bedroom.

"Queen Dowager, the Queen is here." The maid reported.

Liang Ji had already packed up and opened the window to let in some air.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Queen Zhao bowed to her.

"The Queen is here, no need to be polite, please sit down." Liang Ji smiled.

"Although I am the Queen, I am still too unfamiliar with the affairs of the harem. I am afraid I will have to trouble the Queen Mother for some time." After Queen Zhao sat down, she looked at Liang Ji, then lowered her head slightly, and a look of suspicion arose in her heart.

The Queen Mother's face was ruddy.

...

Leaving the harem.

Sun Meng came forward and reported the matter of Lu Sheng's family: "Your Highness, after the spies ahead followed them all the way, Lu Sheng and the family of King Chong really fled to Xiliang. The spies have entered Xiliang to find out their whereabouts. Your Highness, should we send troops to Xiliang to eliminate the trouble forever?"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This matter should be concealed. If too many people go, it will alert the enemy. Let's find out their specific location in Xiliang first."

"Yes."
