Although Concubine Yue and Concubine Zhang are both of the same rank, Concubine Yue has always been the eldest. Not to mention Emperor Xuankang's love for her, Feng Yin, who is in charge of the harem, has been placed in the Yunxiao Palace since the queen's death. Emperor Xuankang is not without it.
She considered making Concubine Yue her queen, but she only mentioned it a few times, but Concubine Yue refused. Later, Emperor Xuankang went with her.
Qingying on the side handed the playbook to Aunt Ding, who presented it to Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue took the playbook, glanced at it, and said, "Since everyone recommends your opera troupe, I will give it to you."
Please click on "Mu Guiying Takes Command." Then he handed it to Zhang Guifei who was standing aside and said with a smile, "Sister, what show do you want to watch?"
"What sister ordered is what sister wants to see." Concubine Zhang took it and flipped it over, then handed it to the maid on the side. Then Concubine Pingle ordered "Mulan" again, and when it fell to Ye Fuxun
, Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I won't order anymore, let's dress up first."
The actors bowed their heads and left. After a while, they put on their makeup and began to sing. They sang "Mu Guiying Takes the Command" extremely well. Both their appearance and singing skills were excellent, which surprised everyone sitting here.
Everyone applauded. Even Concubine Yue, who was always picky, couldn't help but applaud.
As soon as the play was over, Concubine Yue couldn't help but sigh, "I have always admired women like Xiang Mu Guiying. They are heroic women who go into battle to kill the enemy. They are not inferior to men at all. They are beyond our reach."
"If we talk about a heroine, I'm afraid the only one is the general's wife." Mrs. Su on the side said with a smile, "The general's wife has been guarding the border with her husband. This kind of magnanimity is probably unmatched by ordinary women." Mrs. Su looked around and smiled.
Asked, "Why don't you see the general's wife today?"
"There's something going on in the house, come back later." Ye Fuxun raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Su opposite, and then said, "If this woman doesn't have to go to the battlefield to kill enemies to be a heroine, everyone here can do the same.
Heroine."
"Princess, where did you start talking about this? We don't know martial arts, and we don't have the power to tie a chicken, how can we be called heroines?" Zuo Qingying asked doubtfully.
"Then we have to listen to the play "Mulan" ordered by Aunt Huang below." Ye Fuxun smiled mysteriously, and as soon as he finished speaking, the music started, and the actors who had already dressed up began to sing, especially
When it comes to the point where Hua Mulan speaks for the woman, she sings it with great force.
The song ended again. Some of the ladies sitting there understood something, while others still looked at Ye Fuxun in confusion. Ye Fuxun gently put down the porcelain cup in Yu's hand and stood up calmly.
, "The play says that women work in textiles at home and provide clothes for the frontier soldiers. Aren't they heroes among women?"
Ye Fuxun's words made all the ladies sitting there think deeply. They smiled and then said, "To be able to do your part for the Xuanyue Dynasty means that you can't go into battle to kill the enemy like Mu Guiying, but this kind of behavior
Undoubtedly, she is not another kind of heroine. Ordinary women can still do this, can't you all do it?"
"Xun Yatou, I am very pleased that you can say these words today." Concubine Yue said happily, "If you have such an idea, I believe that the Holy Emperor will also be happy."
Everyone agreed, and Marquis Pingle flashed a smile in her eyes and asked, "Does Princess Chen want us to work in textiles and support the war in the north?"
"Auntie Huang, this is a good question for you." Needless to say, Princess Pingle is also a supporter of today's 'Hongmen Banquet'. She and Yue Princess Ye Fuxun came to act out the scene well, and Ye Fuxun shouted loudly.
Said, "Although I am in a deep house and don't know much about national affairs, I recently went to the palace to pay my respects. I saw that my father's face was getting haggard. I thought it must be because of the heavy state affairs. I also heard that there was a shortage of food and grass in the north, and now the national treasury is empty.
, this is the time when the country needs you all." A pair of clear eyes looked at everyone sitting quietly, and then Ye Fuxun solemnly knelt in front of Concubine Yue and said, "Concubine, my sons and ministers are willing to...
Zhuangzi donated all the grain except the food he had eaten to Bienbei for the war effort. In addition, my son and ministers are willing to donate all their dowries to Bienbei for the war effort."
Ye Fuxun's words caused an uproar. Only then did everyone understand the purpose of Princess Chen's banquet. However, Zhuangzi's food and their dowry were personal property. If they were all handed over...
"Okay, okay,
I am very pleased that Princess Daochen is so broad-minded." Emperor Xuankang was supported by Tang Fengchu and walked into the garden, followed by some ministers in the palace. No one expected that Emperor Xuankang would come.
"My wife, please see your Majesty."
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
Ye Fuxun also knelt in front of Emperor Xuankang and kowtowed, "My son, please see your father." Emperor Xuankang personally helped Ye Fuxun up and said happily, "Zhuoer is lucky to have such a virtuous wife like you.
, it is my luck, and it is also the luck of my Xuanyue Dynasty." This was the first time that Emperor Xuankang praised a person in this way, and this person was also a female streamer.
"I am willing to give one hundred thousand taels of gold to the border warriors. They fought day and night to guard our Xuanyue territory, and that is why we are in today's prosperous age." Concubine Yue's slightly cold voice fell, with a kind of strength, one hundred thousand taels of gold for the
For the noble concubine, it was more than half of her dowry.
"He who knows me is my beloved concubine."
Concubine Zhang on the side saw that Concubine Yue actually donated one hundred thousand taels of gold, and saw the way Emperor Xuankang looked at her. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable. She also smiled at Emperor Xuankang and said, "Although I am not as generous as my sister, I am more generous."
This is more or less my concubine’s wish, and I am willing to give 80,000 taels of gold to the frontier warriors.”
Emperor Xuankang gave a rare gentle smile to Concubine Zhang, "I understand your love for Concubine."
"The Pingle Marquis is willing to donate all the food in the village except for food, and also donate 40,000 taels of gold from my dowry to be used for the war." Pingle Marquis is also generous, after all, she is a member of the royal family.
daughter.
"I have thanked you, the emperor's sister." Emperor Xuankang's words to the emperor's sister are worth a thousand pieces of gold.
"I am also willing to contribute." An old but energetic voice came. Everyone looked back and saw Mrs. Tang, who had silver hair and a cane engraved with a dragon pattern, and was supported by Wen Xin and left.
Come in, "I see you, Your Majesty." Before his knees hit the ground, Emperor Xuankang helped him up, "Old madam, there is no need to be polite."
Mrs. Tang has always lived in seclusion, and people rarely see her. Everyone here is in awe of Mrs. Tang. This lady was named a first-class royal wife by the late emperor, and was specially given a dragon crutch, which can knock you unconscious.
I can beat the treacherous officials.
"I am already half-buried in the soil. It will be useless to save money later. The future generations will have their own blessings. I have discussed it with my wife here and am willing to donate all the grain from all the farms in the General's Mansion to Bianbei.
Soldier, I also organized some embroiderers to make some clothes for the border soldiers, and all the expenses came from the general's mansion."
"Old Madam, the Tang family has been loyal for generations and has been loyal for five generations. Now that Old Madam is old, she still has to worry about state affairs." Emperor Xuankang sighed and said, "I..."
"Without a country, there is no home." The old man, whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, said these words in his old voice, which made everyone sitting there tremble.
"The common woman is also willing to give three thousand shi of grain and 150,000 taels of gold." Mrs. Su on the side said, "Although the common woman is just a prostitute, Princess Chen's righteous deed today has deeply moved the common woman. The common woman is willing to do it for
The country contributes.”
As soon as Mrs. Su said these words, the ladies sitting here couldn't bear it anymore. This commoner even donated some things. As the head wives of the ministers' families, how could they not bleed? This may have something to do with it.
to my master’s official career.
Zuo Qingying was the first to speak, "My wife is also willing to pay fifty thousand taels of gold."
As soon as these words came out, a hole seemed to open up. Some noble ladies spoke one after another, preparing to donate things. Naturally, Mrs. Ye couldn't let go of this opportunity. She said, "Although I am not as courageous as Mrs. Tang, I am still willing to donate."
Thirty thousand taels of gold and one thousand shi of grain."
"My father has always been honest. Zhuangzi gave most of them to my sister as dowry. Now these are all my grandmother's dowry things." Ye Yunshang was wearing a light blue dress, with white dots of red plums embroidered on the skirt, and a white stripe.
The brocade belt tied up the slender waist that could not be held, and tied the green silk into a wishful bun. Only a plum blossom white jade hairpin was inserted. Although it was simple, it looked fresh and elegant. Standing in the crowd, it had a unique style.
The room is also everyone’s style.
Concubine Zhang raised her eyes and looked at Ye Yunshang. She had a beautiful face and a measured approach and retreat, so she silently made a note of it in her mind. The biggest thing on her mind right now is to find a concubine for King Song Hancheng of Jin Dynasty. To be honest, Concubine Zhang really likes Ye Fu.
Xun, acted decisively and skillfully. What happened today was probably Princess Chen’s idea. Such a scheming and decisive woman did not provide King Jin’s wife. It was a pity, but since it was Ye
My daughter is probably no different.
Emperor Xuankang nodded appreciatively to Ye Yunshang. Seeing these women who had been living in the deep house chattering about how much they planned to donate to the border war, he felt quite pleased. The problems that had troubled him recently were suddenly solved.
, so he took Concubine Yue and Concubine Zhang back to the palace.
Ye Fuxun asked Qingying to write down all the things the lady wanted to donate and make a list. Then he asked Mrs. Su to go to the Xieshui Pavilion alone.
Ye Fuxun poured a cup of tea for Speed himself with a pair of jade-like onion-like fingers. Mrs. Su took the tea cup gracefully, with shrewd eyes and asked with a smile, "I'm afraid the princess's cup of tea is not that delicious, isn't it?"
."
"Mrs. Su is indeed the head wife of Huangshang. I am afraid that Mrs. Su already understands what I am thinking.
