Zhu Biao slowly walked back to the East Palace. Chang Luohua led the palace maids and eunuchs to greet him. He was dressed in a wide and colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade. He stood with a smile and a graceful attitude. Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to support the Crown Princess who had just bowed and said with a smile.
: "I'm hungry after wandering around with my father for a long time, please pass on some food."
Chang Luohua nodded with a smile, and the maids on the side hurried down to make arrangements. The others walked up behind the crown prince and concubine in a polite manner, and headed to the main hall surrounded by stars like the moon.
"My mother just came to visit me just now. Just as she was about to leave, she was called away by the queen. She probably wanted to knit together and chat for fun. It's also because of my heavy body that I rarely go to talk to the queen recently."
Zhu Biao responded and crossed the threshold. After standing still, he stretched out his hand. Nuan Yu stepped forward to take off his court robe for him. Only then did Zhu Biao breathe out easily: "There is a lot of excitement over the Queen Mother's side. Sister Yu'er often
I went to the palace to talk with you, and now I guess I asked my mother-in-law to go fight with Hege."
The so-called Hege is an evolved version of the leaf play in the Tang Dynasty. It can be regarded as a card game. The leaf play is similar to a promotion chart. It is also played with dice and the cards are drawn in sequence. The big ones can catch the small ones. When the cards are not out, the cards are turned into hidden cards.
Don't let others see it. After the leaves are revealed, they are all put up, and the fighter calculates the unreleased cards from the exposed cards for competition.
According to legend, it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. When Zhu Biao was young, he would accompany his mother to play a few games. Nowadays, he has no free time, and it is boring. Everyone will give in to him. Without the competitiveness, the game will be meaningless.
.
After An Ran sat down, he said a few words to Chang Luohua. In fact, Zhu Biao also thought about playing mahjong with Landlords, but there was no need for it. Rich women played chess, calligraphy, painting, throwing pots, raising cats, playing with flowers and leaves, and they didn't
It's not that there's a lack of things to kill time, it's just that real freedom is limited.
The rich don't need it, the poor can't afford it, but it adds another project to the gambling house. It's a joke that the women in the backyard can use mahjong to ease their relationship. Their real conflict is never boredom, and mahjong can be related to Ye Zixi.
What's the difference?
Since Zhu Biao came back suddenly and it was not yet the normal lunch time, the main course took some time. The maids first served plates of exquisite pastries and preserved fruits.
After Zhu Biao washed his hands, he picked up a piece of jujube cake shaped like an ingot and ate it. He also took out two pieces of crispy yellow cake with the words of the saint engraved on it. It tasted delicious.
When there is something in the belly, the mind is at peace. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of Yunding tea. He suddenly felt comfortable. Chang Luohua on the side smiled and said: "I advised His Highness to eat more in the morning. You must be hungry now."
Zhu Biao said helplessly: "I thought I would go to the Jinshen Palace to accompany my father in reviewing the memorials in the morning, and I would not be hungry if I had some refreshments at that time. After all, the plan could not keep up with the changes."
"By the way, I have to go see the Princess of Goryeo in a while. You can pick something up as you go. It's not easy for an unmarried princess to come to the East Palace to see her."
Chang Luohua held his belly and frowned and said: "It's okay to give more gifts, but even though the wedding date has been delayed, there is no suggestion that His Highness went to see her in person. Didn't the sisters of the Li family and Chen family also wait for so long?
How can we ignore the dignity of superiors and inferiors?"
Zhu Biao obeyed: "I almost forgot, so prepare a copy for each of the Li family and the Chen family. You can arrange for someone to deliver it."
"Your Highness~"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh a few times before holding the tea cup and said: "Goryeo needs comfort. The King of Goryeo has no daughters. The princess who comes here to marry is the one left by the previous king of Goryeo, that is, King Zhongding? This man is a pitiful person.
His father is a strange man."
Chang Luohua noticed the ridicule and sarcasm in her husband's tone and couldn't help but be curious: "Strange person?"
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's interesting to say that Wang?'s father was King Zhonghui of Goryeo, Wang Zhen. This man was a dissolute and immoral man who came to the throne twice and was deposed twice. It is said that when he was in power, he heard about the beauty of his wives and concubines.
No one is close, no matter how high or low, they are all included in the harem. There are more than a few hundred people. They do not analyze the financial benefits at all, manage daily affairs, and small groups compete for plans. They seize land, land, slaves, and maids, all of which are treasures and treasury."
Chang Luohua frowned in disgust when he heard this. Nuanyu and others who were listening on the side also opened their mouths in surprise. They really didn't expect that there was such an absurd king in the world.
Zhu Biao kept it quiet for fear of scaring them. Even Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty once commented on Wang Zhen, "Wang Zhen is a great man, but he has done so much to exploit the people. Even if he eats the dogs of the world with your blood, it is still not enough."
This shows how despised he is.
Chang Luohua said: "With such a grandfather, his daughter is probably not a kind person. If she enters the East Palace, it may be unlucky. I will beg my mother and reject her, and let Goryeo choose another princess to send over."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "The direct lineage of the Goryeo royal family is thin, so I am afraid there is no other suitable candidate. Moreover, although the father of this daughter is not a good one, and he was criticized when he was in power, but compared with the current King of Goryeo, in
The public opinion of Goryeo is getting better again.”
Chang Luohua couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "When I was in power and my reputation was not good, I can't be a ridiculous king again. Both father and son are like this. How can I believe that this woman can be a good person?"
.”
Zhu Biao waved his hands with a smile and said: "That's not even possible. King Zhongding came to the throne at a young age and was a bit naughty during his reign. I only heard that he played wildly with his attendants all night long, and he also deliberately spilled ink on the officer's forehead.
On his clothes, when he saw someone walking with a woman, he would become jealous. Even the prime minister would be hit by him, often beating people to death with iron spines. By the way, he also used ice and snow water in winter.
Mix it with frozen rice and force others to eat it.”
After hearing this, Chang Luohua couldn't help but his eyes darkened, he covered his forehead and said, "I'm very dizzy. You can do whatever you want. Don't regret it in the future."
Zhu Biao laughed for a while and then said: "Okay, I'm just teasing you. No matter how ridiculous it is, it's still a man's business. How can she, a boudoir girl, have the qualifications to be ridiculous? I heard that her father died early, and she lived in the Goryeo Palace.
She is also extremely unsatisfied, just like a palace maid."
Chang Luohua said directly: "I don't believe that you would specially choose an ordinary maid here."
Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing. In fact, this was the advice given to him by Yao Guangxiao. Goryeo had clearly entered the end of its dynasty, and anyone who had read history books could clearly feel it.
Successive generations of kings have been stupid and cruel, the power of the country has been controlled by powerful families, the people's livelihood in the country has been difficult, and social conflicts have become so acute that they are irreconcilable, and the country is in danger of being destroyed.
At this time, the people or the aristocratic families will resent the current rulers, and look back at the once good king. Yao Guangxiao also deliberately passed back the words that were circulated among the upper class of Goryeo today.
"Zhongmu and Zhongding both came to the throne with young Chong. Dening and Xi Fei used their mother's respect to serve internal affairs, while treacherous ministers and relatives served external affairs. Although the two monarchs have the talent of wisdom, what can they do? And when Zhongding is loyal,
The Lord of Jiangling is an uncle, and he has won the hearts of the people of the country and has the support of the superior state. However, the princes did not care about this, and only pursued their own lusts with friends, which led to disaster. The king was unfortunately met with poison, and he was sad!"
