Daming Yinghua

Chapter 232 Three women in one play

With Concubine Zheng's consent, Li Xuanshi and the two grandsons of the Zhu family entered the main hall of Yikun Palace.

Everyone saluted again, Zheng Guifei Zhiyi leaned sideways, left Li Xuan's waiter, looked at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, and said slowly: "Your father is a filial person. After all, blood is thicker than water, and Long Live Lord saw you with a good face yesterday."

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian looked at each other.

When the two brothers were growing up, since they were sensible, the female elders around them urged and instilled in them, and it was difficult for their father Zhu Changluo to be the crown prince.

Up and down the Ciqing Palace, the life in the deep palace is like walking on thin ice, for fear that some sesame-sized omission will be spread to Zheng Guifei's Yikun Palace, and it will be fabricated into a watermelon-sized mistake, making the young master a waste prince. .

Therefore, every time Xi Li brought her to greet Concubine Zheng Gui, the two brothers were trembling like walking on thin ice, for fear of answering any sentence incorrectly.

At this moment, hearing Concubine Zheng praise the prince, Zhu Youxiao knelt down like a bow and crossbow pulled by a motor, and replied like singing a book and song: "It is the emperor's grandfather who is blessed and has a strong body, and it is the emperor's grandmother who loves you!" Working hard, accompanied by driving around, the grandchildren can always serve the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother like this with their father, and their hearts are full of honey."

Zheng Guifei saw that Zhu Youxiao was about as tall as an inner court guard, and as the eldest grandson of the emperor, he still spoke in such a vulgar way when speaking, and his tone was similar to those of the little firemen who bowed their knees to flatter their superiors, so she couldn't help but be contemptuous , happy again.

After all, he is a little bastard who has never been out of the court to study, and his father's accompanying eunuch taught him how to read a few words. I heard that he has never even read the Four Books, and he likes to straighten a few pieces of wood all day long.

Concubine Zheng asked Li Xuan to sit on the brocade stool in her left hand, and waved her hand to ask the palace servants to bring a young eunuch.

"This is Liang Chun, who was promoted to Yikun Palace last year. After showing off a few times, I found out that his old family members are all carpenters for a living. What's their name, what..."

"The slaves' hometown is made of turning wood." Eunuch Xiaoliang replied with a clear voice, lying on the ground, bowing his head, "We country people are called turning things. The dishes and bowls for eating, the legs of tables and chairs Son, a rolling pin pounding garlic and a hammer, wooden pillars, curtains, hand-bead strings, anything round and round, our lathe bed can make it."

When Liang Chun was talking, Concubine Zheng glanced at Zhu Youxiao. Sure enough, when she heard something about turning a bed made of wood, the eyes of this bastard who were originally dead fish eyes suddenly lit up.

Concubine Zheng signaled to Cui Wensheng, the chief eunuch in front of her: "You and Xiao Liang, lead the two brothers to have a look at the turning bed. If you think it's fun, let the servants carry it to Ciqing Palace, and turn some vases and tops. Have fun. .”

Zhu Youxiao immediately showed joy, but Zhu Youjian looked at Li Xuanshi.

Li Xuanshi's eyes and cheeks were full of fake love, and he smiled and said: "The imperial concubine loves you, go and play. Madam guest, you also follow, fifth brother is small and weak, don't hurt your hand."

After everyone filed out, Concubine Zheng sat up straight, her voice softened, but her tone was meaningful: "My son, you are also going to be a concubine."

"Ah..." Waiter Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

Saying these words from Concubine Zheng's mouth is much more credible than saying it from her useless prince husband.

But she quickly put away her expression of emotion, pretending to be panicked and said: "My son's stomach is not up to par, and he has not been able to extend the emperor's heirs. So far, he has never even had the title of lady. The... mountain top that your mother said, I think I dare not even think about it."

Concubine Zheng only felt that the woman in front of her was disgusted by the hypocrisy of the philistine. She squinted her eyes and looked away, looking at the sunny front of the side hall outside the door.

Under the guidance of eunuch Xiaoliang, brothers Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian were happily pondering around the turning bed, while Madam Ke took out her handkerchief to wipe Zhu Youxiao's sweat.

Zhu Yousong, the eldest son of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, is only two years younger than Zhu Youxiao.When King Fu came to the feudal domain six years ago, Zhu Yousong was just the age of Cheng Huan's child. Concubine Zheng missed her son and grandson, and hated the prince Zhu Changluo and the bandits of the Donglin Party even more.

As long as there is no one of them, Chang Xun is the prince, and at this moment, the child who appears in Yikun Palace is the real grandson of his own blood.

Concubine Zheng regained her composure, and when she spoke to Li Xuanshi again, her voice became lower and lower.

"My son, how many pairs of eyes are staring at our harem now. I won't go around in circles with you. Let's just say it. I called you here today to say hello to you first. I picked out eight beautiful women." A beautiful palace lady, I want to send her to Ciqing Palace to raise more children for the prince."

Li Xuan's expression froze when he heard this.

"Imperial concubine, forgive me for being dull, I don't know the point. Long live Lord, it is the time when the dragon's body is not in good condition. At this time, it is inconvenient for my young master to visit the lucky palace frequently."

"Silly boy," Zheng Guifei interrupted her decisively, "Who said it's time, of course it is, after the crown prince inherits the throne, after you become a noble concubine."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then she came back to her mind a little bit, and her cunning and calculating nature made her mind spin.

The noble concubine, an old man, has already said the words "inheriting the great order" openly, so what is she shying away from?
Li Xuanshi then faced Concubine Zheng's deep gaze, which was not so much a discussion, but a test for teaching, and asked: "I dare to ask, the imperial concubine, but I am afraid that our young master will not be filial to the empress after a while?"

Concubine Zheng sighed: "The prince's house has a kind heart. After all these years, the Long Live Lord and I still can't see it? I'm afraid that those Donglin sect people in the outer dynasty will all regard me and King Fu as scourges, and they will definitely have enough. Try to drive a wedge between me and the prince, oh no, the mother-child relationship with the future emperor."

Li Xuan waiter's head turned around.

She didn't know how to do it for a while, but she was given ecstasy soup by Concubine Zheng.

Sending the foxes from Yikun Palace to Qianqing Palace, if you really have a prince, will you give them to yourself to raise?

But if you think about it calmly, the only two-footed women in the Inner Garden of the Forbidden City are Zheng Guifei and herself. Besides, the Donglin Party also impeached her Li Xuanshi's brother for fawning over the mining tax eunuch in the south. She and Zheng Guifei have a common enemy.

The prince was secured by the Donglin party with all his life. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, the Donglin party will be reused. I really have to stand with Concubine Zheng to ensure that Zhu Changluo, whose ears are softer than dough, won the idea in the previous court. , It was changed in the harem.

The waiter Li Xuan was preoccupied, his face relaxed instantly, he didn't say much, he just said sincerely and reverently: "I will listen to your mother in everything, and I will ask your mother to speak a fair word for my son's status at that time."

Zheng Guifei said softly: "That is natural."

……

In early autumn, at the end of the unitary year, the night was as cool as water, Ke Yinyue hugged a robe and hurriedly walked under the palace wall of Ciqing Palace.

Passing by the courtyard where Zhu Youxiao reads and writes on weekdays, a tall and strong figure in clothes rushed out to stop her.

"Hey, you are going to die, scare me!"

Ke Yinyue turned from shock to anger, and punched the visitor on the shoulder.

Wei Jinzhong dragged her into the shadow of the willow tree, and teased, "I've made you die, hasn't it been almost a year?"

Ke Yinyue grinned.

God really gave me a great fortune, to be able to face a eunuch who was not eunuch clean and has a fierce personnel in the deep palace.

Wei Jinzhong turned his head to look at the bookstore behind him, and said urgently, "Go, go in."

Ke Yinyue pushed him away: "Are you impatient? This is the palace, where my brother studies!"

"That's how it's interesting," Wei Jinzhong smiled wretchedly, "Let's go to the table where my old Wei grinds ink for the emperor and grandson on weekdays."

Ke Yinyue was really annoyed this time, so she shoved harder.She is a plump and strong woman, and she actually pushed Wei Jinzhong back a few steps.

"You are so promising!" Ke Yinyue scolded in a deep voice, "We are rare about the things in the crotch, but we can't just think about it all day. My old lady asks you, have you taken Wang Anna recently? Did the old thing offend?"

Wei Jinzhong stood still and scratched his head: "He is the chief companion of the prince, and I am the chief companion of the emperor's eldest grandson. They are all working for the future emperor. Why should he train me like his son? Didn't I just scold a few bullshit censors?" Is it? I am in charge of Jiaziku, and if the censor wants to stop the palace market, isn’t it just cutting off the wealth of our palace people, don’t talk about scolding, they should be beaten and killed.”

Ke Yinyue rolled her eyes, and was fascinated by Wei Jinzhong's rough appearance for a moment.She likes this kind of masculine, better than Wang An, Liu Shimin who pretend to be a scholar, or Wei Chao, who is also a high-ranking eunuch in name, like a good old man.

Ke Yinyue then said softly: "I also think Wang An is not pleasing to the eye, there are no things at all, and those scholars who learn from foreign courts are prudish. But now, the young master is going to become the Long Live Lord, and Wang Anding is getting more and more powerful. You Do you have any brains to fight against him at every point?"

Wei Jinzhong let out a few rough breaths, and muttered: "Then what should I do, I have already torn my face."

Ke Yinyue's face suddenly protruded from the shadow of the tree, pale by the moonlight, and her pair of big eyes were more sinister than a night owl.

"Man, tell me, if the brother we serve can become the emperor in no time, is there anyone in the harem that we should be afraid of?"

"Ah?" Wei Jinzhong was stunned suddenly, and he stammered after a while, "You, my darling, you dare to say such decapitation."

Ke Yinyue snorted: "Think about it, can't you? I won't talk to you anymore. My brother is playing chess with my fifth brother. When the wind blows, I will send my robes. Don't suffer from the autumn cold."

She turned around and walked a few steps, Wei Jinzhong caught up, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, you know about human affairs, has he ever touched you?"

Ke Yinyue turned her head and smiled sweetly: "A chick, how can it compare to you? Old man, why are you so jealous?"
