Chapter 433 The Imperial Concubine
Chapter 433 The Imperial Concubine
"It's one thing to be able to give birth, another is to be able to pick the time, and you have to be able to raise it." Wang Zuo lay on the kang, looking at the apricot tree in full bloom outside: "Didn't you find it? The current Shu Concubine Empress, after taking over the Phoenix seal, she only took care of one palace duty, that is, distributing rations, the monthly money in the palace, and all other palace affairs were divided out, and she only devoted herself to raising the Ninth Prince. I heard that the Ninth Prince can now It's a lie, and I called my father very clearly."
"Really?" Ding Tian imagined for a while: "Well, it's the time to be cute, three-headed body?"
"Probably?" Wang Zuo didn't think about being cute or not: "You didn't understand. At this time, the more she doesn't grasp the power, the more she will win the Sacred Heart. Even if she becomes a queen, she will still be like this, and she will win the Sacred Heart even more. See Judging by their methods, if they are silent and silent, they will be blessed."
"Perhaps the emperor has found a new lover?" Ding Tian was amused.
what? "
"Perhaps? The family affairs of this Concubine Shu are very simple. Her father is a Hanlin Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He has been upright all his life. There is only one wife, three children, and two sons. This one daughter, the two sons, and one is Hanlin. One is a small county magistrate on Hebei Road, with no power or power, three courtyards with two cross courtyards, one household has a son, and the two daughters-in-law are orphans, and they have no relatives, but I heard that the two daughters-in-law were the daughters of his former classmate, but the classmate passed away and there was no one at home, so they took them over, fearing that the girl would not look good, so they made an appointment directly. Ming, they all had their own children, both men and women, but this Concubine Shu is his youngest daughter. She only got such a daughter at the age of 40, and later entered the palace. The old couple also miss it very much. The score is low, and I can’t see each other once. Now the daughter of the harem has the final say, but I only met once. I rewarded the family with some silk forging, pearls, money and spices, and it’s all right! Look at this Attitude, every time the emperor mentions a new Concubine Shu, that is a satisfaction!"
"Really?" Ding Tian scratched his head: "I'm not too generous with these things, uh hehehe, we two don't have so much to say, and our lives are different from theirs."
"It's not the same." Wang Zuole said, "Bake some spring pancakes later."
"Okay, bake that kind of Yulin spring pancake, it's so strong!" Ding Tian ordered: "There are also stir-fried shredded potatoes, egg and chili rings, fried with miso is the best."
It's spring, and the shallots, cabbages, and coriander are all out. Ding Tian planted pepper seedlings early, and now they have grown into green pepper buttons. The scrambled eggs are super delicious.
Sure enough, they ate spring pancakes at noon.
Just finished eating, and said to go to the back vegetable garden (Ding Tian changed the back garden of his home into a back vegetable garden) to see how well the newly planted eggplant seedlings are growing, Wang Fugui ran in: "My lord, my lord! , new news!"
"What news? Makes you so excited?" Wang Zuo laughed: "Wang You is dead?"
"No, he's not dead yet, but the emperor has just issued an imperial decree to promote Concubine Shu to imperial concubine!" Wang Fugui said: "Just now on the road, I met the Minister of Rites who happened to be going to rice paper, and he was going to the grasshopper. The Lin family in the alley is proclaiming the decree!"
"Concubine Shu has been promoted to Imperial Concubine? How many days has it been since then?" Ding Tian's eyes widened: "Is this the Imperial Concubine?"
As early as when he was going to the palace for a banquet, Wang Zuo had someone teach Ding Tian the palace rules and etiquette. When he was lying on the kang at night and not rolling the sheets, he would talk about the official titles of the women in the palace. What.
That's the deputy queen!
Now there is no queen, this imperial concubine is the master of the harem.
In the harem, only the queen can be called "Master and Empress" by all the palace people.
No matter how favored the imperial concubine is, she can only be "a concubine or empress". Those women who are below concubines can only be called "little masters". The winner of the first house.
But the imperial concubine is called "responsible master" in the palace, which means that in the harem, the imperial concubine is also the one who can be the master of the house.
This status is very different.
"The emperor really likes her." Wang Zuo was not surprised: "This matter has nothing to do with us. There are no congratulators in the harem, and no one is qualified to enter the palace. That woman should not let her know. Wait until the matter is over." It's okay to let her know."
Anyway, it can't be released now.
"Okay!" Wang Fugui ran out, and he wanted to watch the excitement.
Seeing that he had run away, Ding Tian asked Wang Zuo, "When will those two people in my prison be released?"
The two in his prison are fine now, and the group of young court ladies have all been sent to serve them.
"Why, they don't stop in prison?" Wang Zuo's eyes suddenly turned cold: "How dare you put on airs with you?"
"That's not true. The maids who were sent to serve them used to yell at me at first, and then they were taught to be human by Mother Jiang. Now they are all as honest as quails." Ding Tian said: "I just thought, this day It's always a heartache to be locked inside. Last Qingming Festival, many problems were found in the things sent here. It seems that it is summer, and when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, there should be fresh vegetables. I have to worry about it, lest they eat something they shouldn't eat, and make trouble again."
With these two people in the dungeon, Ding Tian was a little nervous even on vacation.
If it weren't for the fact that he had three teachers and nephews, who would not change guards if he had money, these four people would have to go through the hands of the four of them whenever they came from outside.
"It should be resolved before the Dragon Boat Festival. The emperor was thinking about taking a long time to catch big fish. Now that the big fish are almost gone, only Li Chengsi is left." Wang Zuo has been calling him Li Chengsi since the second prince was adopted, and never What is your name, Second Highness?
In the past, the second prince's rank was not as high as his. As a prince, he was only comparable to a prince.
Wang Zuo is a king with a single word, a super king, no one is as big as him except the emperor and the prince.
Now that the second prince has become a grandson, according to regulations, this prince generally has no rank!
Because the eldest son is only the heir and has not yet inherited the title of prince, no matter what kind of prince's eldest son or county king's eldest son, there is no rank, but after marriage, those who are generally favored will be conferred by the emperor. The queen mother, queen or something, canonize the wife of the prince as the concubine of the prince.
Generally, at this time, you can look at it in terms of iron comparison. For example, if you compare it to the first rank, then the prince is treated as a first-rank official position; if you compare it to the second rank, third rank, etc., such treatment is rare, because Emperor Yongqing is very stingy. .
For soft comparison, there must be corresponding treatment, salary, seals and rewards are indispensable, he doesn't want to waste money in vain.
Therefore, the general princes only have the imperial edict to enshrine the princes, but they do not give ranks.
Even a person like Li Chengsi who is a prince at the beginning is treated equally.
"It's all like this, the emperor still thinks about Li Chengsi?" Ding Tian couldn't understand, is this a father and son or an enemy?
It doesn't count if you suppress it, do you want to step into the mud?
"You don't understand." Wang Zuo told him secretly: How do you think those people in the palace made such a fuss?Li Chengsi must have contributed
"He's not in the palace anymore, how can he still affect the people in the palace?" Ding Tian was even more puzzled: "Has he been away for a year?" He entered the palace once, and there was no place for him at the New Year's banquet.
Those who came were Prince Laoguo and Princess Laoguo.
"Just because he is no longer in the palace, it seems that it has nothing to do with him!" Wang Zuo murmured, "As expected of Concubine De's son, look at his ability to put death to death!"
"Why is it like a cockroach that can't be killed?" Ding Tian was almost speechless: "He can't even enter the palace."
It's just that he is not the emperor's son anymore, so what qualifications does he have to compete for the great treasure?
"He can't enter the palace anymore, but others can. Do you know why he doesn't enter the palace? He made a child with his wife at home. Once the child is born, there is hope of recovery. He conceived his wife. After the news was released, my mansion was strictly guarded, those people took the initiative to jump into it, no, they were caught, that's how Concubine Xian fell in; Concubine Shu was even implicated by her son, the third prince is a fool." Wang Zuo She curled her lips: "How many people wanted to get rid of the piece of meat in his wife's stomach, but they were all punished by the emperor. Now, Li Chengsi trembled."
"It's him?" Ding Tian heard the inside story here for the first time. These days Wang Zuo was busy going around, and he also cared about the two phoenix eggs in the prison. Only now did he know that there is another master who stirs up the situation outside.
"Let him make trouble, it's almost over." Wang Zuo didn't think Li Chengsi had anything to worry about, this guy was actually an overkill, what Prince Laoguo and the others wanted was a child, not an adult like him. man!
He didn't understand it!
Children are reminders.
"It's okay. I'm on business tomorrow. I'll go to the palace to have a look. If those two guys are useless, put them back and stay in your prison. It's not like that. If something goes wrong, I want you Take responsibility." Wang Zuo thought for a while, and he felt sorry for Ding Tian, and planned to clear those two guys from his prison.
"That's right!" Ding Tian patted his thigh: "And those who serve their palace daughters, can they walk together? Every day, they look like goblins, and they can't walk well. They twist their waists and shake their buttocks. It's awkward to look at."
"Those women can't be let go, let Jin Buhuan watch over them, in case they get pregnant...〇"
"Impossible!" Before Wang Zuo could finish speaking, Ding Tian said, "Mother Jiang is very strict. After doing something with the prince, she will drink a big bowl of Bizi soup and watch them. When Jean vomited out, he had to drink it down every time, at least for a day, and couldn’t leave everyone’s eyes, even if he wanted to find a place to vomit, he couldn’t do it.”
In fact, Ding Tian felt that two hours would be enough.
Because the time for water to circulate in the body is four hours, and after four hours, it will be excreted from the body.
However, just in case, Mother Jiang had to keep an eye on it for six hours, that is, twelve hours.
Fortunately, there are many maids serving the two brothers. There are four maids in total, and each of them takes turns every day. Because there are maids in the palace, the two people inside have to be served by the maids for eating, drinking, and sleeping. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. As for the four maids who climbed to the high branches, they were more tired than working in the prison in normal times.
I wanted to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, but I don’t know if Feng Fengcheng didn’t succeed, so I became a maid first, or an almighty maid
Not to mention serving people every day, they still have to warm the bed at night, and after warming the bed, they have to drink avoid soup. Without children, what will they rely on in the future?But there is no way, Mother Jiang's methods are very powerful, and every ten days, an imperial physician will give them their pulse, and anyone who is pregnant can know immediately.
"That's not necessarily true." Wang Zuo became thoughtful.
The two of them were not in the mood to look at the eggplant field anymore, so they went back to lie on the pit and took a nap, and then went to Zhao Jinbu to change his home after getting up, it was his birthday.
I gave it as a table gift and ate birthday noodles, which were still silver noodles. They were delicious, made by Jin Buhuan's daughter-in-law herself, noodles in hot soup, two eggs, and the ones given to Jin Buchang were double yolk eggs.
He is so happy that he can see his teeth but not his eyes.
It was Wang Zuo who avoided Ding Tian and asked Jin Buhuan, "Can I have children after drinking Bizi Tang?"
"This possibility is very small, but it doesn't mean there is no one in ten thousand. It just depends on what kind of soup you drink." Jin Buhuan thought for a while, and answered accurately: "We gave the four girls all It's the kind that doesn't hurt the body, because Master Ding doesn't want to
Let them have no children in the future. "
