Daming Yinghua

Chapter 231 Three women in one play

Beijing, Forbidden City.

Ciqing Palace.

Waiter Li Xuan, with that face of a late mother who was familiar to all the palace people, hurriedly walked ahead, followed by 15-year-old Zhu Youxiao, [-]-year-old Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse Yinyue.

This domineering Li Xuan waiter is called "Xi Li".There is another servant named Li in the inner court of the Forbidden City, who is called "Dong Li" because he lives in the east.

The heir apparent of the Ming Dynasty, the Crown Prince of the East Palace, besides the main concubine, also had female relatives such as ladies, talents, and servants as usual.

In terms of status, Xili is also one level higher than the palace servants who have never served.

But Wang Cairen, the mother of the eldest grandson Zhu Youxiao, was not favored, and died of illness last year. Zhu Youxiao has been raised by Xi Li.As for Liu Shunv, the mother of another grandson of the emperor, Zhu Youjian, because she was lonely and strong-willed, she refused to be wronged and admitted her mistakes. An honest man, his status in front of the prince is completely incomparable with that of Xi Li, who is charming, charming, and powerful.

Now everyone in the palace, inside and outside the capital, knows that Lord Wanli is coming soon, and when Zhu Changluo is on the orthodox throne, even though Xili only gave birth to one daughter, he might be able to get the title of fourth concubine for his contribution in raising the eldest son of the emperor.Zhu Changluo does not have a concubine, and the empress position is temporarily vacant after he ascends the throne, and the Six Palaces must be handed over to Xi Li.

Therefore, on the eve of autumn, the eunuchs and courtiers in the imperial court of the Forbidden City began to fawn on Xi Li one after another.

Li Xuanshi looked over the little firemen who were bowing to her by the side of the road, and landed in the direction of Wenhua Palace and Yuhe.

There are significantly more guards in several places than at the turn of spring and summer.Looking from a distance, those who went to the cabinet, or to the Ciqing Palace, which was the prince's bedroom, were all like ants in a hurry when they were suddenly stopped.

Li Xuan sneered, turned back to guest Yinyue and said: "The rich are coaxed by people in the deep mountains, but the poor are not asked by anyone in the downtown area. Look, our poor households in the downtown area also have a day when they are surrounded by stars. At the time of Ciqing If the palace is so heavily guarded, can that stupid man break in?"

What Li Xuanshi was talking about was the "striking case".In the 43rd year of Wanli, a rough man named Zhang Cha broke into the Ciqing Palace, the residence of Prince Zhu Changluo, with a stick in his hand, and wounded others. He later confessed that the eunuch Pang Bao had instigated him.Pang Bao was a member of Concubine Zheng's Yikun Palace, so the Donglin sect who stood as the prince in the outer dynasty came up one after another, denouncing Concubine Zheng for murdering the prince, and welcoming back his son, Zhu Changxun, the prince of Fu, who had already become the prince.

For decades, Emperor Wanli, who had only favored Concubine Zheng, in order to forcefully suppress public opinion in the government and the public, finally went before the officials for an unprecedented time, and co-acted a family drama of fatherly kindness, filial piety, and noble concubine's benevolence with Prince Zhu Changluo.

In the faint fragrance of osmanthus seeds in early autumn, Ke Yinyue adjusted her pace and moved forward, and said wanly behind Li Xuan's side: "No, it's a good day, your mother's good days are yet to come."

Attendant Li Xuan pursed his lips, and squinted at Ke Yinyue: "Mother Ke, the slaves next to me call me this, and I feel like I'm trying to dissuade me, but you say 'mother', and it sounds good to me."

The quality of the selection of waiters is low, so it is logical that they are not worthy of being honored as "Niang Niang".

Ke Yinyue hurriedly stopped, folded her sleeves and bowed, lowered her voice and said: "My servant is a country woman from Baoding. She has little knowledge and is clumsy. If it wasn't for the blessing of my mother these years, I don't know how many punishments I would have received. The servant is everything. I have a heart made of meat, so I have to always be grateful for the kindness of my mother."

Li Xuanshi nodded, his face softened.

In Beijing around Qixi Festival, the skirts and shirts worn by the palace people were still light and frivolous.Although Keshi is over [-] this year, she has given birth and breastfeeding, but her stature is not bloated and collapsed. The top jacket pinched at the waist is more graceful, and the face with bright eyes and pink cheeks is even more like the person in the painting childlike.

Li Xuanshi has a good impression of the Ke family, just because this servant girl has such a good-looking appearance, but she has no vixen. Every time he leads Zhu Youxiao to see the prince Zhu Changluo, so that the father can see that his son is not missing any arms or legs. The accompanying nanny, Ke Shi, hid far away in the yard behind the threshold, huddled in an orderly manner, and did not rub against the prince.

Just as Li Xuanshi was about to turn around, his eyes dimmed suddenly.

She saw Zhu Youxiao, whose stature was close to that of an adult man, beside Keshi. The direction of her eyes clearly ran towards the snow-white back of Keshi's neck that was exposed when she leaned over to answer, and then sank slowly, falling on Keshi's curve. Defined lower back and fuller buttocks.

"Dirty bastard," Li Xuan felt that this kind of gaze seemed familiar, and couldn't help cursing secretly, "In the future, I will have the same virtue as your father. When I am happy, I love to hug women from behind and bite their necks, and when they are in heat with those male cats and animals. Same."

Li Xuan waiter was about to get angry, but saw Zhu Youjian pointing to the pool in the corner of Ciqing Palace and said: "Miss Li, the wooden cart that elder brother made last time has rushed out of the Feiquan, sons, can you go and have a look?"

The elder brother Zhu Youxiao looked up as if he had been awakened by the fifth younger brother.

The enthusiasm about the pleasures of men and women that surged from the lower abdomen of the young man a moment ago was suddenly replaced by the surprise of licking the calf.

Father, the father who always looked disgusted when he saw him, even put the small carpentry gadgets he made in front of the main hall of Ciqing Palace. If you stand on the corridor, you can see it at a glance.

When Zhu Youxiao was in a daze, Zhu Youjian had already started to go over to have a look.

Li Xuan's eyebrows were upside down, he pulled Zhu Youjian past him, and shouted sharply: "Fifth brother, Dong Li is used to you, and I don't like this here. Your father is serving soup and medicine to the Long Live Lord in the Qianqing Palace. The imperial concubine and empress The head is waiting to see us in Yikun Palace, and you are procrastinating in Ciqing Palace, why? Deliberately tripping me up?"

Zhu Youjian hurriedly stood upright, bowed his hands and admitted his mistake: "Youjian didn't dare, Li Niangniang taught me a lesson."

Ke stepped forward to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Fifth Brother is still a baby after all, and it's normal to be fond of playing."

What I think in my heart is that this old five is only ten years old, so he will distract Fazi's surname Li's attention. It is a yardstick to protect his brother. The key is to know how to play tricks. Be his nurse, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold him down in the future.

Turning to laughing again, in the huge Forbidden City, all the men in sight, no matter whether they are with handles or not, are all like trash, only this little milk dog still has a bit of guts.

On the other side, attendant Li Xuan didn't delay any longer, and took a few people to the Yikun Palace where Concubine Zheng lived.

Today is to see the emperor's noble concubine, she is the prince's chosen servant, how dare she sit on the shoulders.

He only walked covered in thin sweat, and when he entered Yikun Palace, he knelt down in front of the threshold of the main hall.

The chief eunuch Cui Wensheng said in harmony at the door: "It's almost time for lunch, so I'm here."

Attendant Li Xuan expressed panic, and confessed: "My concubine, my son had a stomach upset yesterday, and he tossed and turned all night. When he got up this morning, every step felt like he was stepping on cotton, and he walked a bit slower."

Concubine Zheng's voice sounded: "If you are not in good health, you should ask your servants to carry it. After all, you are also my daughter-in-law and your own child, so you don't need to pay attention to etiquette."
