"I heard... Ziyu isn't in a very high mood lately?"
She opened her mouth tentatively, thinking that a little baby would be fine after being silent for a few days, but she didn't expect that almost three months later, she was still feeling depressed.
"Yes, he must be older and doesn't like to talk much anymore. He even avoids me. Do you think this kid is a little too much? Other boys don't want to be like this when they reach his age."
"Well... maybe I have something on my mind!" She held the cup of tea guiltily.
"Alas! Maybe, the child has no choice but to grow up." Concubine Zhang said with a helpless smile.
Evil Qin Yun, why is he such a useless thing? Concubine Zhang Guifei can also be defiled by him? She cursed in her heart.
"The Si Festival is coming soon, are the palaces prepared properly?"
"That's almost it. After last year's festival, it's time to get busy with the draft."
"After so many years of not drafting, there must be no mistakes this time. Please be more careful. I have never managed a harem. I would rather paint in the palace every day than bother with that. Whenever I am asked to make decisions, I am very happy.
Anxious, always unable to do what you want, you are born to do this, I have troubled you so much."
Concubine Zhang was very sad when she said this. There is nothing wrong with these words. Concubine Zhang has indeed given herself a very clear position. She will not control her even if she cannot control it. In the past, Concubine Zhang was the assistant in charge of the harem and was suppressed by the Du family. Du family always found fault.
Later, Concubine Zhang knelt down in Fengyi Palace and asked herself to take back the right to co-manage the harem. She really couldn't do it anymore.
No one is perfect in life, and there will always be some areas where you are unable to do what you want. At first, there were rumors in the palace that Concubine Zhang was just a vase, which could only be displayed for beauty, but had no practical use at all.
The Holy One ordered those who spread rumors to be punished, and then they stopped. Even if it is a vase, the Holy One is willing to hold it. This is the power of beauty.
"It's my duty to trouble or not bother you. The Queen has long been dissatisfied with the power in my hands. I will be careful this time to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from causing trouble on purpose."
"Alas! I have heard about you and the Queen, but I still don't believe that she is like this. The Queen has never treated me badly for so many years, and she has never been angry because she was deprived of power. How...how did she suddenly do it.
...well!"
Concubine Zhang had a sad look on her face, obviously she didn't believe it. The queen didn't understand that Concubine Zhang was all because of Qin Yun's obstruction. Otherwise, how could she have been allowed to sit firmly in the position of concubine and raise the sixth prince safely? This woman is just too kind and doesn't understand these battles, so she
There are only a small number of concubines in the harem. If there are ten or eight concubines competing with Concubine Zhang for favor, how can she win against them?
It would be better for Concubine Zhang to know less about these things in the future, so as not to overthink it. The medicine the queen gave to the prince has been discovered by Chu Yunjing in the past few days. It is a chronic poison that destroys people's internal organs and will not kill him easily.
But it will slowly consume the energy, and eventually the energy will be exhausted and die. The queen put these things on the prince's separate bowl and chopsticks and asked him to eat every day. He could neither have children nor live for a long time.
The prince has been taking this medicine for more than ten years, and she feels that even the Great Luo Immortal cannot heal the prince to his original state. She found out by secretly testing the prince's bowls and chopsticks, and did not catch the queen actually poisoning the prince.
As a clue, I don’t know if poison was poisoned elsewhere in the East Palace.
That day she checked all over Jiuhua Palace, fearing that the Queen's poisonous woman might have poisoned her residence, but luckily it wasn't.
Thinking about it, if two members of the royal family got the same disease for no reason, it would be difficult for others to find out. The queen was still very cautious and might have prepared some other dirty tricks for her.
For example, in the past, Yang Shuren died because his child went crazy, and he was sentenced to death for disrespecting the emperor. Concubine Xie died of loss of energy and blood after giving birth to a child. The first empress died of illness after being implicated in the public case of Liguo.
Not only that, Chu Yunjing also discovered that in the past few decades, all pregnant concubines had not died well, and no fewer than five had miscarried. Although giving birth to a child was like entering the gate of hell, it was not so scary.
There have long been rumors that the ancestors of the Qin family gained the world by usurping power, but now it is the curse of the previous dynasty that has caused the descendants of the Qin family to wither.
Since ancient times, there are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. None of the three princes who married while alive could give birth to a legitimate grandson. The prince's family has a concubine's eldest daughter, and Prince Huai's family has a legitimate daughter and a concubine's eldest daughter. King Qi even gave birth to a concubine.
There are no heirs.
Seeing that His Majesty is nearly sixty years old, perhaps His Majesty, who is entering his old age, is really anxious and decided to draft the royal family. The blood of the royal family cannot wither.
Chu Yunjing drank all the tea in the cup, put down the tea cup and comforted Concubine Zhang: "My Lady, please don't think about these things. There is nothing in the way. Just leave it to me without any worries. You will ignore what is going on outside the window and only focus on it."
Make paintings of saints!”
She pointed at the dried "Guanyin Guanyin" on the desk. Concubine Zhang covered her lips and smiled, and ordered someone to put the painting on a mounting scroll. After it was installed, it was five feet long. She rolled it up and placed it on the sandalwood.
In a fragrant wood box.
This is a very precious thing. A lot of money can't buy this painting. She treasures it. Thinking about when to go to Nanyang to show it to Master Zhuo will definitely make Master Zhuo so excited that he can't sleep for several nights.
It was a little late at night when we came out of the Weiyang Palace. During the Shangsi Festival, women from all families were required to go out for an outing. Naturally, those in the palace could not go out. They could only go to the rockery in the Imperial Garden for a walk. She ordered the minister to serve at the Monk Food Bureau
Prepare everything you need for the festival.
Seeing that the days were getting warmer, I ordered the Shang Gong Bureau and the Shang Clothing Bureau to distribute the newly made thin clothes to each palace.
Every year, the four seasons rotate the corresponding new dragon robes in the Holy City. The embroiderers who sew the dragon robes are also the same batch every year. They rotate through the four seasons and never stop, so the demand for embroiderers is also very important. Before this draft
Selection will also be carried out to fill the vacancies of previously released palace ladies. Every time the palace ladies are selected, thousands of people will enter the palace. They will stay in Yeting for three months to learn the rules, and then they will be allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace Bureau.
Not knowing how tiring it would be to be a householder, she was so busy these days that she couldn't even take care of the divine ball. Even Si Yu became the female official in charge. When she went to deliver orders, it was as if Princess Qi was personally present, and no one dared not listen.
Qian Guanguan has been serving her carefully these days. She can see Qian Guanguan's ambition, and she also wants to be a female official like Si Yu, but she insists on Qian Guanguan serving her, forcing Qian Guanguan to serve her.
Watch that restless heart.
Qian Guanguan has always loved dogs and relied on people's strength. He could do better with just one point than Shenqiu. Chu Yunjing opened the way in front, while Qian Guanguan was blocking the road behind. He had no choice but to distract Qian Guanguan in his busy schedule.
Nothing major went wrong at all.
After she returned to the palace, she was studying the "Taipu Chess Record" and finally found some time to study it.
I didn't have any interest in playing chess before, but after reading this large-scale chess record, I felt that I was connected to Ren and Du. It seems that the way of playing chess has some connection with the management staff.
Now she has three treasures, the Buddha's Hand Jade Pendant, "Taipu Chess Record" and the priceless "Guanyin Guanyin" she just got today.
She hung the Guanyin Guanyin next to the back window that Zhou Yang often climbed in. It was not very conspicuous. She was happy to see this treasure by her bedside every day when she opened her eyes.
His eyes returned from the paintings on the wall to the chess game with satisfaction.
At this time, Qian Guanguan came to report that the headdress department of the Shangfu Bureau had damaged the imperial crown given to the emperor. There was a stalemate over there, with each other passing the blame and not knowing who was responsible. Mr. Shangfu asked her to come over.
.
She was dissatisfied with these small fights. If she made a mistake, she could not fix it quickly. Why should she shirk responsibility? They were all made with hard work, and who could deliberately damage them.
Perhaps these palace maids were so afraid of the punishment they received when others were in power that they tried their best to pluck themselves clean, otherwise they would lose their lives.
But Chu Yunjing's style of doing things has never been like that. If she makes a mistake, she will work together to make it right. She will turn a blind eye and pass by. If everyone is shirking responsibility, she will punish them all. No one will be spared. After the punishment, she will go
Get the business done.
Only in this way can the palace atmosphere be stabilized. Otherwise, everyone will be thinking about self-protection, so they will not dare to admit their mistakes and blame each other, which will end up being a mess.
She asked Qian Guanguan to kill all the palace maids who were suspicious and had been pushing the blame. After raising them, she asked the troublemakers to repair the Holy Emperor's crown.
Your Majesty is the one who will suffer from this punishment. It is estimated that he will not be able to wear a new imperial crown for ten days and a half. I hope that His Majesty can understand that Chu Yunjing was chosen by His Majesty himself.
Unexpectedly, as the punishment continued, one of the maids who was punished that night actually hanged herself!
She was very surprised that just ten boards could make someone hang themselves! What kind of weird news is this?
She was woken up in the middle of the night and went to see the body of the palace maid. She was hanged well and her tongue was hanging out.
Si Zhusi and other maids had never seen a dead person before, and they were all frightened out of their wits.
I heard that Si Zhusi and the palace maid who lived with the hanged man said that she was fine when she went to bed, but Yue'er was missing when she got up in the middle of the night. The hanged palace maid's name was Yue'er. Then she couldn't be found anywhere.
I saw the hanging body in Si's handicraft room.
The little palace maid who explained this was the first to discover Yue'er's body. She was hesitant in speaking, her face was livid with fright, and she cried several times until she couldn't breathe.
She could only ask someone to collect the body and wait until daytime to discuss the rest. She sent the palace servants from the Shangfu Bureau to go back to sleep and stopped questioning.
The little palace maid who had been inconspicuous in the corner before leaving climbed up to her and cried: "Your Majesty, Yue'er has always been a straight-minded person. Today she was punished by the Empress for no reason. Yue'er couldn't bear it. She always felt that the Empress
It is confirmed that she was the one who broke the Chao Mian Yi, and all Yue'er will die to prove her innocence!"
As soon as these words came out, it was confirmed that Chu Yunjing forced the palace maid to death. If everyone in the world committed suicide because of being framed, they would have died long ago.
Master Shangfu had a sharp eye and immediately kicked the palace maid aside and spat at the little palace maid: "You bitch, you can bite whatever you want!"
After scolding, she wanted to kick her again, but was stopped by Chu Yunjing. She didn't want to be accused of insulting the palace people. She didn't believe that there was anyone in the palace who didn't know how to protect himself, but she wanted to use her pride to fight for her innocence.
This matter was caused by the person from Fengyi Palace who plotted against her.
She didn't take the bait and sent everyone in the Shangfu Bureau back to rest with a wave of her hand.
