Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Xi Jiaorong refused to go forward, Sun Shurong reached out to pull Xi Jiaorong.

"My concubine Xi, the camellias are not far from here, let's go and see them."

"It's too dark, wait until I get the lantern."

Zhu Beifeng came from the corner and asked: "Concubine Xi, it's late at night, are you still going back to the palace?"

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

The three concubines immediately fell to their knees, Zhu Beifeng ordered Shuangxi to send Xi Jiaorong back to the bedroom, and Shuangxi kept telling her along the way: "Msg Xi, you'd better not go out at night."

"Eunuch Shuangxi, I'm not going out tonight. I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager at dusk. After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Chen Feifei dragged me to see the camellias. No matter how much I earn, I won't be able to break free."

When Shuangxi returned to the imperial study room, she told Zhu Beifeng exactly what she had said, and Zhu Beifeng frowned deeply after hearing this.

"Send a few maidservants to guard her, and the guards who patrol at night also tell them to cheer up. When there are more women in the harem, troubles will easily arise."

Master Guo of the respect room came forward with a tray, in which were the green cards of the concubines.

"Your Majesty, it's time to turn the cards."

"I don't want to turn over, I just want to be alone."

Master Guo got a little ashamed and left with the tray.

Double Happiness brewed a cup of tea for Zhu Beifeng, and the faint fragrance of the tea calmed Zhu Beifeng's irritable mood.

After drinking a cup of tea, he got up and rushed to the Compassion Palace.

"Show me the Palace of Compassion and Ning, I'm going to see the Empress Dowager."

"He understands the affairs of the former court very well, but he doesn't understand the affairs of the harem, and he needs to ask others for advice.

Zhu Beifeng arrived in front of the Compassionate Ning Palace in a sedan chair, Gu Yinwei was already waiting for him.

"The emperor is here, come in and sit down."

"My son, please greet the queen mother."

"Your Majesty, please wait for a while. The Ai family has recently released three new fragrances. You can pick and choose which one you like, and the Ai family will send it to you later."

"The first plum fragrance is elegant and timeless; the second lilac fragrance is long-lasting; the third gardenia fragrance is soothing."

Gu Yinwei's words were full of deep meaning, Zhu Beifeng listened quietly.

"The front court is peaceful, the harem is peaceful, and the emperor's throne is secure. The daughters of the harem are like spices, each with its own characteristics and flavors."

"Is the queen mother able to make them live in harmony?"

"not at all."

"Then how was the late emperor's harem managed? Why was the late emperor's harem so peaceful, and the concubines didn't fight for it? The queen mother can get along well with the concubine Xian, and they are called sisters. Why can't the women in the harem get along in harmony?"

"Because the first emperor only had one woman from the Ai family, emperor, can you have only one woman in your life?"

Zhu Beifeng was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly from the chair.

The first emperor's Sangong and Liuyuan were full of beauties, but he only had one woman.

Yes, he has only one woman, otherwise how could he have no heirs, otherwise the throne would not be his turn.

"The deep affection between the mother and the father and the emperor is admirable."

"Emperor Feng'er can't be too affectionate, and can't be too ruthless. The Ai family hopes that you can handle the affairs of the harem well. The Ai family is old and just wants to take care of themselves.

Gu Yinwei is 24 years old this year, without a single wrinkle on her face, her eyes are clear and piercing, she does not participate in intrigues, does not fight with others, she plays with cats and dogs every day, plants flowers and trees, lives a comfortable life, she does not want to control the harem things.

"Empress, please trouble the empress to take care of the affairs of the harem."

Gu Yin closed her eyes slightly, then opened them slowly, she looked extremely tired.

"Since the emperor has spoken, I will take care of you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

On the way back, the emperor's heart was full of turmoil, and the behavior of the first emperor really shocked him.

King Xiaoyao is just an idle prince, with many wives and concubines in his house, and the emperor is the son of heaven, but he has only one woman.

Shuangxi was also shocked. If ordinary people had one father and one wife, he could understand it, but the other party was the emperor, and this matter seemed a little ridiculous.

"Double Happiness, ask someone to invite Master Guo."

Master Guo was terrified, the emperor didn’t turn over his cards, the women in the harem put pressure on him, the ministers of the former court asked him to question him, the two concubines also admonished him, and the emperor called him back when it was time to change shifts.

Day by day, if the emperor doesn't turn over his cards, everyone else will come to make things difficult for him.

"Master Guo, do you have the archives of the first emperor's Tongji when he was alive, show it to me."

Guo Jia raised his head with a surprised expression. Didn't the emperor call him here tonight to punish him, but to ask about the past emperor's secrets.

"The first emperor's red book is on file, and the humble official sent someone to deliver it immediately."

Guo Jia directed a young eunuch to fetch the Tong book, and after a cup of tea, Tong book was brought back.

Zhu Beifeng opened the red book and looked carefully. On a certain day in a certain year, the late emperor accompanied Concubine Shu to have a meal, and on a certain day in a certain year, the late emperor accompanied the empress to drink tea.

Zhu Beifeng aimed at the list of servants, turned back, only saw a line of small characters, which recorded the date when the emperor summoned Gu Yinwei to serve him, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Master Guo, are all the records of the late emperor here? Are there any omissions?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, there is nothing missing, everything big and small, all here."

Zhu Beifeng sighed silently: "Go down."

·····
In the clean room of the Qing Palace.

Zhu Beifeng sank half of his body into the water, and Shuangxi slowly heated the water in the wooden barrel.

I don't know what happened to the emperor today, but I suddenly remembered to look at the red book of the late emperor when he was alive.

Incense was burning in the clean square, and the candles on the table gave off a light yellow light. Zhu Beifeng rested his hands on the edge of the barrel, and stared at the roof.

The water vapor gradually rose, and the room seemed to be covered with frost.

There were so many women in the late emperor's harem, but Gu Yinwei was the only one he actually favored, it was unbelievable and unbelievable.

"What does the emperor think?"

"I'm thinking about what happened today."

"Is the emperor worried about Concubine Xi?"

"I'm worried about Concubine Xi, and I'm also worried about myself."

Shuangxi helped Zhu Beifeng get dressed, and Zhu Beifeng looked a little sad.

"Your Majesty, do you want to pass on the words to Concubine Xi?"

"Call her here, I do have something to say to her."

The eunuch who delivered the message led a large group of people to pick up Concubine Xi, and the maids and eunuchs on the way stopped to watch.

Concubine Chen's momentum was so strong that everyone thought she would be the first person summoned by the emperor, but Xi Jiaorong was the first person summoned by the emperor.

Some people are jealous, some secretly curse, and some are planning how to curry favor with Concubine Xi.

Qi Yu'er ate supper around the big round table. She entered the palace only to eat and wait for bedtime. It's too early for her now.

Xi Jiaorong came to Zhu Beifeng's bedroom in a soft sedan chair.

"The concubine sees the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

"I've sent a few maidservants by your side, you'll get used to it."

"The people who are rewarded by the emperor are a bit fierce."

"If you're not fierce, you can't control you."

"Your Majesty, the concubine will stay away from Concubine Chen in the future."

"It's good that you know that Concubine Chen has a Minister of Defense behind her. What do you have?"

"The concubine has the friendship of the emperor when he was young. The concubine is different from others. The concubine is like Brother Feng's childhood sweetheart."

"At dusk, Concubine Chen wanted to trick my concubine into going to see Camellia, but in fact she wanted to play tricks on my concubine. Their trap was so clumsy that my concubine could see through it at a glance."

"You are just brave."

"Everything the emperor says is right, and the concubine squeezes the emperor's shoulders."
