In March of the year 505 of the Yan Kingdom, Emperor Hui died. In April, the Queen Mother Mu passed away. In May, Emperor Jing's second son, Shangguan Hao, came to the throne and was known as Emperor Zhao in later history.
Yan Palace, Yongle Palace Rose Garden
"Master, look how beautiful these flowers are." Yuan'er walked into the small pavilion in the rose garden holding a bud-shaped gilt incense burner, where Shangguan Feng'er was reading a book.
After the palace coup, Shangguan Hao postponed his accession to the throne for two months, so Shangguan Feng'er had to stay in Yan State, planning to wait until Shangguan Hao ascended the throne before returning to Qi State. However, after Shangguan Hao ascended the throne, he insisted on asking her to help manage the affairs.
After taking care of the trivial matters in the Yan Palace, she went back. Remembering that Shangguan Hao did not have any concubines yet, she had no choice but to stay and assist the Queen Mother in taking care of the harem, while Yuan'er was sent to the palace after the palace change.
The current Queen Mother of Yan is Han Fei, the concubine of Shangguan Hao.
Shangguan Feng'er's eyes turned from the book to the rose, "Yes, it is very beautiful." As he said that, he sniffed the fragrance, put down the book in his hand, picked up the scented tea on the table, took a sip, and then
Look at the chaos leisurely.
Yuan'er put down the incense burner in her hand and sat beside Shangguan Feng'er, holding her head and fretting, "Master, tell me, there are so many maids, what should we do with the concubines?" Shangguan Jue chooses concubines twice a year.
In the past five years, the number of concubines in this palace has increased several times compared to the number during the reign of Emperor Xing.
"We can only send them out of the palace." Shangguan Feng'er frowned slightly: Now that the Yan State's treasury has already suffered losses, it is impossible to raise so many concubines. Besides, Shangguan Hao alone does not need so many maids to serve him. After much deliberation, he can only
Now that these concubines have been dismissed and the palace maids have left the palace, they can find someone to marry while they are still young.
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." The palace maid's voice was heard outside the courtyard.
Shangguan Feng'er and Yuan'er stood up and looked at the Queen Mother Han, who was wearing a magnolia and blue double embroidered satin dress, a hollow flying phoenix, a golden walking wave on her head, and a few extremely simple pearl hairpins, heading towards the pavilion where Shangguan Feng'er was.
Come.
"Good luck to you, the Queen Mother." Shangguan Feng'er bent her knees slightly.
Empress Dowager Han helped Shangguan Feng'er up and said, "Feng'er, get up quickly." As she said that, her beautiful eyes turned to Yuan'er.
Yuan'er bowed her body and exited, leaving only Shangguan Feng'er and the Queen Mother Han in the pavilion.
Queen Mother Han came and Shangguan Feng'er sat down, looked at her for a long time, and sighed quietly: As a mother, how could she not understand what her son was thinking? It would be better not to know if she just knew, and to be upset if she didn't know.
Even more annoying.
Shangguan Feng'er looked at the Queen Mother Han like this and thought she had something to say, "What are the Queen Mother worried about?" She knew what the Queen Mother Han wanted to say, but she had to say it herself. Besides, she also
It may not be useful, I can only say try my best.
"Feng'er, your imperial brother is already twenty-four years old. Looking at his harem, there is not even a single person. The Ai family has said it several times, but he doesn't listen. The Ai family has thought about it over and over, but has no choice but to come.
Looking for you." Queen Mother Han said and sighed heavily, her eyes full of helplessness.
Shangguan Feng'er knew that this had something to do with her, but when she thought about Shangguan Hao's promise to her on Nanyu Island, she came up with an idea, "Otherwise, Feng'er will go and persuade the emperor today.
Let's see what he says." She really can't guarantee whether the matter between Shangguan Hao and Li Shiyu will work out. After all, the relationship between Qi and Chu is unusual.
When Queen Mother Han heard what Shangguan Feng'er said, she was naturally happy, so she returned to her palace.
