Chapter 13 The Queen presides over the harem meeting
Jinyang naturally would not blame the emperor's father for such boring things, but she was really annoyed by Qin Huaiyu's unrestrained words and drunken nonsense. Before that, she had no special feelings for Qin Huaiyu, and just treated Qin Huaiyu as a child of ordinary heroes.
, although they communicated during the exam, they were just casual acquaintances and really nothing.
As for Qin Huaiyu, she admired her. Once she knew it, she knew it and didn't feel much about it. Since she grew up, she often learned from her best friends how those boys viewed her, but that was all.
But she didn't feel much.
Now Qin Huaiyu talked nonsense after drinking, which made everyone in Chang'an aware of the situation, which made her quite uncomfortable, and she had the urge to beat Qin Huaiyu violently. However, she gave it up after careful consideration. As she grew up, she also had a daughter.
"Sure enough, I still can't forgive this person easily." She stopped in front of the palace gate with an angry tone.
Since she grew up, she has been deeply taught by her mother. She is dignified and quiet in her words and deeds. Anyone who looks at her will praise her as a noble princess. Occasionally, she only shows the tenderness of a young daughter in front of the emperor's father.
"Your Highness is talking about the boy from the Qin family?" the maid asked.
Jin Yang nodded gently and said: "You are talking nonsense. If you don't teach him a lesson, how can you teach him to behave properly?"
"Your Highness, why don't you find an opportunity to give him a good beating?" the maid said the most severe punishment she could think of.
"Bot?" Jinyang smiled coldly, "You are too easy on him, you have to teach him a profound lesson."
"Then what should your highness do?" After the maid asked, she reminded: "If you teach Qin Huaiyu a lesson, will you offend the Duke of Yue?"
"Oh, I have already taught him a lesson." Jinyang's soft pink lips lifted slightly, revealing a smile.
If Qin Huaiyu is smart enough, he should be ashamed after listening to her own words. If he is not smart, there is nothing to say and there is no need to lecture her. Because she doesn't bother to do the small things of making boards, it is too unclassy.
"Who should I teach a lesson to?"
A voice came, and Jinyang quickly turned around and saw the emperor slowly walking over.
"Father." Jin Yang walked over in small steps, hugged Li Zhiyun's arm, and said, "Of course I will teach that guy who speaks so freely."
"Qin Huaiyu?"
"Yeah." Jin Yang said with a smile, "He said he wanted to imitate Wei Huo's achievements, so his daughter asked the Duke of Yue to tell him. Now that the grassland has been leveled, it is already too late to talk about Wei Huo's achievements."
"Haha, you kid, you have learned to be sarcastic." Li Zhiyun shook his head helplessly and took his daughter to the harem.
Jin Yang refused, pouting and saying: "It was obviously the boy who was at fault first, how can the father blame his daughter?"
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, it's my fault." Li Zhiyun begged for mercy, and then asked curiously: "Then what do you think of this Qin Huaiyu?"
Jin Yang thought for a while and said, "My daughter doesn't know him."
Li Zhiyun was speechless, and immediately said: "That's right, it's all my fault, the lake is covered."
"Yes, Father, Lao Hu Tu." She hugged her father with a smile.
Li Zhiyun laughed loudly and led her towards Changle Hall.
When they arrived at Changle Hall, they happened to meet Empress Yang and a group of concubines discussing the end of the year for the harem. Seeing the arrival of the emperor and Princess Jinyang, the ladies quickly stood up and saluted.
"It's all exempt."
Li Zhiyun walked up to the main seat and sat next to the queen.
"What did you just say?"
"We talked about year-end purchases," Queen Yang replied.
"What else?"
"No, I have already given all the instructions that need to be given."
"Yes." Li Zhiyun nodded, looked at the girls, and said, "There are some things that our family should talk about openly."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders." The women responded quickly.
"Okay." Li Zhiyun said unhurriedly: "When I first came to the throne, the government was not going smoothly, natural disasters were constant, and there were Turks watching outside. The expenses of the Forbidden City were always reduced again and again. I still remember
, when the children were still young, sometimes they wanted to have a good meal, but they didn't dare to bring it up casually. Someone would ask, "Isn't it okay for the royal chef in the palace to cook delicious food?"
I want to tell her that a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. In the first few years of Zhenguan, life was very difficult for everyone in the court and the palace. The queen was virtuous and helped me to keep this huge palace in order. Even the queen mother also
There are praises from time to time.
Now, the court is rich and the world is at peace. I know that some of you are used to living a hard life, but now you have a good life, and you want to enjoy it. In this regard, I will set a rule for you, and you all should listen to it.
"
"I respectfully listen to your Majesty's instructions." The girls stood up and knelt down.
Li Zhiyun said: "From now on, each palace is not allowed to compare with each other except for the proper rituals, expenditures, and salaries. You can understand."
Probably some time ago, he had heard that the women in the palace tended to compare with each other. The ladies in the palace were all comparing each other's clothing costs in private, and some concubines were even more dressed in silks and satins.
He doesn't like this kind of culture very much. He thinks it's okay for his woman to enjoy a good life. Anyway, he can get money from internal funds and won't take it from the court, so it doesn't matter. But once women start to compare, there will be no end, and this
This trend will also spread to the wives who come to the palace to pay their respects, and then spread throughout Chang'an.
The Tang Dynasty had just begun its prosperous rule, so we could not encourage this trend.
"I, my concubine, obey your decree." The girls agreed.
Empress Yang, who was sitting next to the emperor, had a smile in her eyes and was calm. She knew that the emperor's words today were to give her support in cleaning up the harem. From now on, whoever dares to compare randomly will be careful to suffer disaster.
"Okay, I won't say much about the rest." After saying that, Li Zhiyun looked at Queen Yang, "You go ahead, I'll go to the inner room to take a rest."

"yes."
The emperor got up and went into the inner room to rest.
Next, Empress Yang continued to preside over the harem meeting. This time, Li Zhiyun's wives all listened carefully and took minutes of the meeting in time to avoid being punished for future mistakes.
Half an hour later, the concubines said goodbye to the queen and left.
Outside the palace.
Wei Nizi said to Concubine Yin De: "Hey, my little sister has liked Sister Yin's skirt for a long time, but she hasn't worn it yet. I'm afraid she won't have the chance to wear it in the future."
"That's really a pity. Not having this blessing is fate." Concubine Yin De said with a smile.
After listening to the words, the girls all had their own thoughts, either stopping to watch the show, or saying goodbye and leaving.
Without waiting for further greetings from Wei Nizi and Yin Defei, a chamberlain hurried over.
"This slave has met all of you ladies."
The girls looked at the man.
The chamberlain paid homage to Concubine Yin De: "Concubine De, your Majesty has conferred the title of Prince An on the eldest son of the emperor, and granted him a mansion in Chang'an, allowing him to open a palace. He also asked the empress to return to Xiuhua Palace as soon as possible to receive the decree with His Highness Prince An.
"
The girls were startled, and soon realized that the emperor's eldest son had indeed reached the age to leave the palace and open a palace.
"Prince An?" Concubine Yin De asked again.
"Yes." The waiter lowered his head and replied.
"Ha." Wei Gui couldn't help but smile, and immediately stepped forward, took Concubine Yin De's hand cordially, and congratulated her: "Congratulations to my sister, His Royal Highness Prince An, he is the first prince to be conferred by your Majesty since he ascended the throne. It's really
Make me envious."
"Congratulations to Concubine De." Concubine Yang Shu came over and congratulated her with a smile.
"Congratulations to Sister Yin." Concubine Pei Xian also congratulated immediately.
Afterwards, all the girls congratulated Concubine Yin De.
But for some reason, Ms. Yin felt empty in her heart, and she felt not particularly happy.
