The house of An Zerui, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Xu Mochen was very fast, and on the second day of the court meeting, he ordered An to be admitted into the palace as a virtuous concubine.
After the decree was issued, the entire An family was filled with joy.
Anzerui had been an official in the court for many years and held the position of Minister of Household Affairs. However, he did not understand the way of being an official and was immersed in the research of farming technology.
If it weren't for the special characteristics of the Daqian Dynasty, such officials would have been killed long ago.
Fortunately, His Majesty is wise enough to govern the country in an orderly manner and only uses his talents, so he stayed in the position of Minister.
But it's different now. He suddenly became the head of state.
In addition, the courtiers knew everything about the daughter's origin, so many officials came to congratulate her in the past two days.
In the back house, Gu Jinge's room was filled with betrothal gifts and dowry.
As a former princess, even though it was a small country, she had seen the world in terms of gold, silver and jewelry.
Gu Jinge was not interested and just sat in front of the bronze mirror with Zisu holding her hair.
"Your Highness," Zi Su also hated Xu Mochen at first, but after these several tests, she changed her view, "This way, it is justified. If they want to deal with you in the future, they will have to weigh it carefully."
Gu Jinge's face was expressionless: "You gave me the title of Virtuous Concubine, are you afraid that I am not virtuous enough?
And Zi Su, after entering the palace, the title of His Highness really cannot be used anymore. "
Zi Su combed her long black hair: "Then this slave will be called empress.
The palace is also blessed with national luck and is much safer. "
Gu Jinge sighed slightly in his heart, Zisu was still a maid after all, and she didn't understand some things. As long as she stayed with Xu Mochen, that was the most dangerous place.
"Your Majesty," Zi Su's eyes turned red as she didn't know what she was thinking of, "Actually, my servants have known about the past between you and His Majesty for so many years.
The knot in my heart should be let go.
Entering the palace, living a good life, and giving birth to a dragon child in the future, everything will be perfect. "
Gu Jinge sneered: "There must be no heirs between the emperor and the immortal cultivators."
Just like Xu Mochen, he thought beautifully.
"Those are the emperors of past dynasties," Zi Su continued to persuade, "Now His Majesty has also entered the immortal way, it is different.
If he wanted a child, he might be able to have one. "
Gu Jinge didn't think about this problem. She was stunned for a moment: "Even if he is alive, he can just go to the Xian Concubine."
"Your Majesty," Zi Su said a little anxiously, "As for Concubine Xian, your servant seems careless. At least you were injured and she came to see you.
But these are small favors. You are the concubine, and your rank is above hers.
Moreover, you are older than her and have known His Majesty earlier than her. These alone cannot be justified. "
Zisu works hard to bring the two of them into a good relationship.
Gu Jinge naturally understood what she was thinking. She clasped her palms tightly in her sleeves and said, "Sometimes I think about it, maybe this is fate.
When Daqian and Qiannanwei were in conflict, Xu Mochen proposed to marry me.
Now she has finally entered his harem. "
As she said this, she laughed to herself.
Zi Su put her hair into a bun and put on her hair: "Your Majesty's appearance is the most beautiful among women in the world, and she is also one of the best among immortal cultivators."
The implication is that she will definitely not be worse than Shen Zhining, and His Majesty will definitely like her.
Gu Jinge didn't say anything else and just let Zi Su do what he wanted.
Because it was a concubine, and considering the scale of Shen Zhining's original ceremony, Xu Mochen was not special in this regard.
There is also a need for balance between the harem.
As a wise king, you have a deep understanding of the truth.
The place of placement is still Lanzhi Palace, but Xu Mochen has assigned some maids to be responsible for daily care.
In the royal study room, Xu Mochen, who was diligent in political affairs, finally finished handling the affairs of the army (chicken) and the country (hair) and big (garlic) (skin). He stretched and then remembered: "Has Jin Ge entered the palace? "
Tang Derun, who was waiting at the side, had known about this question for a long time. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "The Concubine De has been sent to Lanzhi Palace by the Ministry of Rites. Today is a good day to have a concubine. Your Majesty wants to go there."
Xu Mochen nodded and stood up: "Well, Jin Ge must still have some knots in his heart and needs me to comfort him."
With that said, he headed towards Lanzhi Palace, with Tang Derun following closely behind.
On the other side, Xianghua Palace.
Shen Zhining was lying under the flower stand, covered with a thin quilt, directing several palace maids to barbecue.
This is what she recently researched. She often travels between national research institutes and privately invented MSG, barbecue sauce, cumin powder and other seasonings.
As for soy sauce, salt, chili powder, etc., they are already available in Daqian Country and do not need to be specially developed.
There are also many varieties of barbecues. The ones below use the best charcoal in the palace, and there is almost no smoke.
After soaking in sweet and sour scented tea and listening to the "sizzling" sound of the barbecue, Shen Zhining felt that life in the harem was so wonderful.
"Your Majesty," a palace maid swallowed, "this skewer of beef is ready."
In ancient farming societies, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered, and beef was relatively precious.
Shen Zhining took it and took a bite. Well, it tasted familiar.
She thought about it, Xianghua Palace is not small, and there is also a pool. When she has time, she will quickly tidy up, plant lotus flowers, raise black fish, and the era of boiled fish, pickled fish, and fish is not far away.
In terms of products, Daqian Palace is still very rich.
After all, the imperial dining room in the palace is also occupied by immortal cultivators.
If you want to eat king crab, geoduck, tuna, etc., they can get it too.
Don't rush, start your food life step by step.
There were hurried footsteps outside, and Cuizhu ran all the way over.
With the palace maid, it is difficult to use some magical powers in person, otherwise it will be very troublesome to clear and modify the memory later.
"Your Majesty," Cuizhu was dumbfounded when he saw everything in front of him, "Why are you still in the mood to eat here?"
"Oh," Shen Zhining yawned. It was always easy to feel sleepy in the crisp autumn weather. "What happened? I'm so nervous."
"Don't you know," Cuizhu came over and almost kicked down the barbecue stove, "Today, His Majesty brought the princess into the harem and gave her the title of Virtuous Concubine."
Shen Zhining thought what was going on, she said casually: "Isn't this a very normal result? I have said it several times that it is His Majesty's White Moonlight and should be included in the harem."
"What are you talking about?" Cuizhu said angrily, "The empress was the first to enter this harem, and she was granted the title of virtuous concubine.
During this period of time, I helped His Majesty with many things, and there was hard work without credit.
It's a good thing now that the Xianghua Palace was rewarded with some gifts, and the empress was not given a title. Instead, a later princess was given the title of Virtuous Concubine.
The fourth concubine in the harem is a noble and virtuous woman, but her position is actually above you. "
Shen Zhining doesn't care. She doesn't want to compete for favor in the harem: "That is the princess of the previous dynasty. She is not an ordinary person. She has a relationship with His Majesty. In addition, she seems to be older than His Majesty, so it is only right to make her a concubine."
With that said, she ordered another bunch of mutton.
"Alas!" Cuizhu stomped his feet angrily, "Mother, everyone strives to receive a stick of incense in one breath. If you continue like this for a long time, no one in the palace will take my mother seriously in the future.
Today there will be a Concubine De, and tomorrow she will be Concubine Shu. From now on, you will have to pay your respects one by one.
Another queen and you will completely fall out of favor. "
"Speaking of this, I am reminded," Shen Zhining patted her forehead, "I am going to Lanzhi Palace tomorrow morning to pay my respects to my sister."
Cuizhu was speechless: "My dear, you really think so."
"Of course," Shen Zhining continued to lie on the rocking chair, "It's just a ban, it's just a greeting.
It doesn't matter, enjoying life and food is the true meaning of cultivating immortality. "
Okay, just be a rice bug properly.
green bamboo
Crying, she had a premonition that her future life would definitely not be very good.
Xu Mochen arrived in front of Lanzhi Palace, and the maid on duty hurried in to report.
Stepping in, the garden here is still full of flowers, with bursts of fragrance.
Because we were newlyweds, everything was covered in red and green, and everything we looked up and down was filled with joy.
Every three or five steps, there is a big red lantern hanging, which is brightly illuminated.
It is different from the fairy-filled atmosphere of Xianghua Palace.
The flowers in the grass on the tree seemed to be aware of Xu Mochen's movement as he passed by, as if they were staring at them with big eyes.
Of course, normal people would never dare to come to such a harem.
But Xu Mochen is the emperor and does not follow common sense when doing things.
When they came to the corridor, Gu Jinge, who was dressed in fine clothes, stood tall and graceful. When he saw Xu Mochen, he bowed Yingying: "I respectfully welcome your Majesty."
