Chapter 166
"To celebrate your son's birthday, I heard that the opera troupe invited by the palace is from Jufenglou?" People of the older generation just like to listen to operas. There are countless opera troupes in the metropolis, but they can bring out a few famous actors.
Yes, it's still a little.
Coincidentally, this Jufenglou is one of the pear orchards that produced a generation of famous actors - Liquidambar.
"Yes, I heard that Empress Huang specially sent someone to come from Jiangnan early, just so that Takako could listen to the best song "The Grand Plan"."
Takako Tokuyasu was naturally happy when he heard the words of people around him admiring him, and he could see fine lines in the corners of his eyes.
"The Queen is interested."
"As long as Takako likes it, that's fine." Xiao Yun watched the people on the stage singing the song, while he gave the song excerpt to Takako De'an.
"Uncle, is there anything else you want to hear besides "The Grand Plan"?"
"That's it. You guys can pass it around among yourself and see what you want to hear. Just order what you want."
When the excerpt reached Zhao Wenlan, Zhao Wenlan just said that it was up to the Queen to decide. This was also to envy others. The love between the Emperor and the Queen was also a manifestation of the prosperous age, wasn't it?
Xiao Yun took the album and ordered a song called "Ode to Red Plum Blossoms" to suit the occasion of the approaching winter.
The disciples each ordered their own favorites. There was a lot of banging on the stage, and the audience was naturally not too quiet. Looking at Zhao Wenzhao serving Mo Wenzhou's meal, De'an Guizi didn't even raise his eyebrows.
However, Zhao Wenlan also added fuel to the fire.
"This Prince Chen is really haggard after recovering from his illness. It's no wonder that Ah Zhao is angry with his servants." Zhao Wenlan saw that Takako De'an's face was getting darker and darker, and she knew that he was even more dissatisfied with Mo Wenzhou.
"As a man, he can't even serve his wife well, and he makes her worry about him from time to time. It shows that he is not very competent as a husband."
Takako Tokugawa calmed down a lot when he thought about the person he had arranged for today. This woman was so ruthless. When there were more men in the backyard, why couldn't she leave her old love behind?
At the end of the birthday banquet, Zhao Wenzhao was called to the Qinzheng Hall by Zhao Wenlan, saying that they had important matters to discuss. Zhao Wenzhao originally wanted to tell Mo Wenzhou to go back home first, but he never thought that Mo Wenzhou would be called
Takako De'an was summoned away.
"In the house, both children have names?" Takako De'an was sitting on the Kang couch, looking at Mo Wenzhou sitting on the embroidered pier, and he didn't know how this color made Zhao Wenzhao feel sad.
Out of pity.
"Your Highness has given me names. The girl is called Zhao Kun and the boy is called Zhao An."
"Kun, the name of beautiful jade is quite appropriate. If you have time, bring Sister Kun to the palace and let me have a look. Last time when Azhao entered the palace, he told me that the young prince was carried to the side room.
Are there supplies in the room?"
"Yes, Brother An's health is not good. I have to take care of Sister Kun here, so I don't have time to take good care of Brother An. Therefore, Your Highness asked Mrs. Wen to help raise her." Mo Wenzhou thought of this.
Guangxiu couldn't help but clench his hands about this matter. He also secretly hated this matter.
"You are also a coward! Don't you know how to fight for the son you gave birth to? Now, the outside world doesn't know how your two children are. They all think that you are the happiest man, with both children and a daughter, enjoying the blessings of everyone.
However, you don’t want to think about how others will laugh at you if they find out about this?
In the final analysis, this matter is because Mrs. Wen is too favored. Now, your health is not good and you cannot sleep with Mrs. Yan.
Can you serve me?"
When Takako De'an said this, Mo Wenzhou roughly guessed what he wanted to do. Thinking of the Wen family and the Lu family, no matter how low their status was, they were still servants given by the draft. The children of these two people were naturally
They can raise them by themselves, even if they want to, they can't.
Now, of the other two servants in the mansion, one had offended the Wen family and was naturally rejected by His Highness. Mo Wenzhou would not be stupid enough to let him sleep with him.
Another servant has been arranged by Yanshi to enter his courtyard early. When the time comes, the child born by that servant will probably be recorded in Yanshi's name.
all,
None of them can become his pawns, Mo Wenzhou, so he can only make a new choice, either to follow the trend and ask De'an Takako to go back with both, or to push someone to his side and trust him the next time His Highness comes to his yard.
The servant went to bed with him, was promoted to the position of servant, and took care of himself by his side.
Mo Wenzhou didn't want people around him to serve Zhao Wenzhao, so the only one he could choose was the first one. However, finding someone to serve Zhao Wenzhao also made him uncomfortable...
"Yes, my uncle is right. This matter is indeed the fault of the husband, Chen Shi. There are few people around the wife to serve her. When Chen Shi returns home, he will naturally find a good one for his wife and bring her into the family.
Waiting in the room."
"Well, if you can think of it this way, that's good. You don't need to look again for this matter. Looking for someone to serve you will take a few days no matter what.
A few days ago, I saw a few good ones and kept them. When you return home later, you can just take them back."
After Takako Tokuyasu finished speaking, he placed the fruit shell in his hand on the small plate next to him with satisfaction.
"Yes, uncle, you are very considerate. I still want to make uncle worry about it. I am negligent."
Mo Wenzhou didn't know how he could endure it. When he walked out of the palace, he couldn't lose his temper yet. Looking at the two charming and charming men following him, he felt even more angry.
"The palace is not far from the palace. There is only one carriage. You two should follow behind." After Mo Wenzhou finished speaking, he got on the carriage without even looking at the two of them.
The two men looked at each other. They were selected by Takako De'an from the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than a month ago. They thought that after being rejected by His Highness King Chen last time, they would not have the chance to enter the palace again.
From the palace, I didn’t expect that after more than a month, I would go round and round and finally enter the palace of Prince Chen.
At this time, it was natural for Mr. Chen to be unhappy. Now that they were asked to follow him, they naturally did not dare to say a word. They had to endure the intimidation from Mr. Wang.
However, fortunately, Prince Chen's Mansion is really not far from the imperial palace. Taking a carriage is just a way to show his identity. When the two of them arrived at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, they just felt their legs were a little sore.
After Mo Wenzhou got off the carriage, he didn't tell them anything. He had no choice but to follow Mo Wenzhou until they reached Zizhuyuan.
The two of them had only heard about the grandeur and large area of Prince Chen's Mansion before, but that was all. When they saw it today, it really opened their eyes.
It took them two-quarters of an hour to walk from the main entrance to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard. Along the way, there were ponds, winding corridors, rockery waterfalls, and everything else. Inside the Purple Bamboo Courtyard, there were even large tracts of rare Purple Bamboo groves, many of which were planted.
The flowers and plants planted were all new to them. The two crabapple trees at the entrance of the main hall were also very lush.
With this size, it was probably not much different from the residences of the harem princes, and it also allowed them to see how favored Mo Wenzhou was.
Without Mo Wenzhou's order, the two of them did not dare to follow him into the house. Fortunately, it was autumn and the door of the main hall was open. Mo Wenzhou could see the people standing outside while sitting on the chair in the main hall.
Two waiters.
"Let them come in." Mo Wenzhou didn't want to embarrass them too much, but he had to be nice to them. That was something he didn't even think about. However, Mo Wenzhou could only hold his nose and admit it.
"You two, come in." Qingying walked to the door and said to the two people standing under the steps.
"Yes." Both of them obeyed the rules, lowered their heads, walked up the steps to the main hall, and knelt in the middle.
"My slave, please send your regards to the king. May the king be well."
Mo Wenzhou didn't let them get up, he just glanced at them lightly and said.
"You two enter the palace with different statuses. From now on, please do not call yourself slaves. As His Highness's servant, you must either call yourself a slave or call yourself a slave.
After all, only a slave would call himself a slave."
"Yes, I will obey the king's teachings."
"Sit up straight and let me see."
Two people listen
Mo Wenzhou lowered his eyebrows and raised his head as he spoke, focusing on not offending his master. Mo Wenzhou looked at the two delicate little faces in front of him. They were white and rosy, and had pink and peach blossoms. They were much younger than him.
"What's your last name, what's your first name? How old are you?" Mo Wenzhou knew that when they were in the palace, their master would give them another name, but when they arrived at the palace, it was different. They had to use their own names.
True name.
In fact, they don't need a name, they just need a surname and their identity, that's enough.
"My surname is Chen, my name is Fei, I am fourteen years old." The person who spoke was the son of a poor Hanlin official in Beijing. Although he was the son of an official, because his mother's official position was too low, he was only a sixth-ranked official.
Therefore, I participated in the draft, but was not selected because of my status.
However, just when the Ministry of Internal Affairs was preparing to compile them into the register, he was spotted by Takako De'an, who planned to reward him as a servant to His Highness King Chen.
"My surname is Li, my name is Erchun, I am sixteen years old." Although this Li family is sixteen, he is older than the Chen family, so he should have spoken first. Unfortunately, his status is inferior to this family. The Chen family is an official.
Born, but this Li family was just a person who was selected from the common people to serve as a slave in the palace.
The reason why Takako De'an was attracted to him was because of his delicate, pretty, round, slightly pointed face. Folks say that this face shape attracts wives.
He was originally serving as a waiter in the imperial kitchen. It happened that one day the sweet soup prepared in the imperial kitchen to honor the noble son was delivered by him, so he was chosen at a glance.
