"Yuzhen! Do you know where your Majesty went today?"
In Xiuhua Palace,
There are not many people around, it looks peaceful and peaceful!
Because since the emperor reformed the inner palace, there have been layoffs everywhere in the palace. Not only were the costs reduced, but even the standard configuration was a waste in the emperor's eyes. This kind of innovation has eliminated many idle personnel in the past.
Although some officials in the court stood up to oppose it, and even many literati shook their heads and quoted quotations, but these people were instantly silenced by the emperor's simplest words!
The people don't have enough to eat. As their parents, how can I wear silk and satin?
The emperor's plan is to feed everyone within ten years!
Many people would not think that the emperor was joking, because many things that the emperor thought were fun have now become the most practical actions that benefit the people!
All palace construction related to the royal family was stopped. All the palace staff were exhausted and all were dismissed from the palace. In addition to the normal standard configuration of the royal family, all concubines and wives also have the standard configuration of other corresponding service personnel according to the status of concubines and wives.
This kind of large-scale layoffs has eliminated almost two-thirds of the staff, and the inner palace has become much quieter!
As one of the major palaces in Lingnan Palace, the importance of Xiuhua Palace is self-evident. Because the emperor lived here when he was a child. Later, although he had his own palace, he did not live there much at all. He became the prince and entered the palace again. Therefore, according to common sense, this is the place where the emperor came from!
Lu Ya stepped on the carpet with bare feet and didn't even comb her long hair, but she suddenly softly asked the palace maid who had just entered. This is the palace lady that Lu Ya has used for many years, and she is very happy with it, so even though many palace ladies have been dismissed, this one still stays with her!
According to Emperor Liu Jixing, she should be a naturally beautiful woman. Even without makeup, she makes people feel extremely beautiful! Maybe it was because of the hot weather and there was no one else in the palace, so she only wore a cicada-like close-fitting palace dress. The sudden sound at this time was not surprising.
Because of her special relationship with the emperor, she became a special person in the palace after the emperor succeeded to the throne. Except for the original young master Wang Yu, she was another person who was allowed by the emperor to choose where to live! It is also an example for the concubines and wives in the palace, and there are very few people who can inquire about the emperor's whereabouts.
Liu Jixing had a special affection for her, because she had taken care of Liu Yuan since he was a child, and she was extremely beautiful, so Liu Jixing decided to take care of her. It is a bit surprising to others, but for Liu Jixing's mental age, there is no obstacle at all. Therefore, as long as Liu Jixing was in the palace, he would come to see her almost every day.
She seemed to see Yuzhen being a little confused. She was braiding red jasmine flowers on the side, but she raised her head and smiled slightly: "Is it possible that Madam is really pregnant and doesn't go out to walk around? What everyone knows now is But Madam doesn’t know!”
"You girl, you are such a talkative!" Lu Ya saw that even Su Xin said that, and gave her a rare look. But thinking back on it, because she had been too lazy to move, she really didn't know what happened in the palace recently. Don't know.
Because although Su Xin has not yet gained a big reputation, she is still favored by the emperor and even sleeps with him, so Lu Ya is not angry: "If you tell me, I will make the people in Beiyuan laugh. Besides, let's talk about the weather." It's so hot, where can I go for a walk?" Beiyuan is the final destination of the late emperor's concubines, and it is also where some elderly concubines live. Naturally, countless people are looking forward to seeing the emperor, but where will the emperor go there?
Suxin came over with a smile, knelt down beside Lu Ya, and stretched out her hand to touch her belly. One side seemed to be really testing, but the other side had a smile on her face: "Suxin has heard about Fanghua Palace, and there are people who are looking forward to it every day? Does Madam really not want to?"
Lu Ya blushed for a while. It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to, but if it really happened, she would be embarrassed.
Seeing that although Suxin's eyes were teasing, there was some sincerity in them, she couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart: "As you know, he doesn't hold anything back every time, but there is no reaction, so this matter can't be rushed! Besides, Don't you accept the favor every time? When do you argue, isn't it a lively event in our Xiuhua Palace? Besides, doesn't Su Xin from the Fanghua Palace also accept the favor? Don't let anyone compare you Got it!"
"Madam!" Suxin cried out sweetly when she heard what Lu Ya said, as if Lu Ya had spoken her mind. But then he seemed to think of something, and sighed softly, looked outside, and whispered: "Madam rarely leaves the palace. Su Xin went there today, but she heard some news!"
Seeing Su Xin being so careful, Lu Ya couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although she felt a little uneasy, she still said calmly: "I heard that General Pan has never been to Shaozhou Prefecture after he was awarded the title of Deputy Marshal of the Army and Horses. I wonder if King Yong Shao will be able to get along with him then?"
"Madam, you are overthinking! The title of General Pan was personally assigned by His Majesty to assist King Yong Shao. I expect that General Pan will do his best!" Su Xin is also Lu Ya's confidant. Although she was a little surprised by the emperor's arrangement. , but now it seems that it has some profound meaning.
When Lu Ya suddenly mentioned this, I knew that she must have misunderstood. But it was certain that mother and son were connected, and it was reasonable for her to worry about King Yong Shao.
"Because there have been rumors that people from the Shu Kingdom have come to the capital in the past few days, we have never seen anyone in the palace. But today I heard from people in Hualin Garden that several princesses from the Shu Kingdom are in the palace, and now they are taking turns Serving His Majesty!" Su Xin thought about the news she heard, and because she was afraid that Lu Ya would worry and mention it to the emperor, she never mentioned it to Lu Ya.
Seeing Yuzhen come in at this time, Lu Ya asked about the emperor again, and she spoke out, but there was a slight dissatisfaction in her words. Because although she stayed in bed, she was not taken seriously by the emperor, and it was not even her turn to be granted a pardon. But she could feel the emperor's favor every time.
"Suxin, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Ya stopped Suxin without any hesitation. Because this matter was so shocking, if word spread, others would think they had complaints against the emperor. Lu Ya, who came over from the hands of the late Emperor Liu Sheng, naturally knew the temperament of an emperor. As the saying goes, a good companion is like a good companion to a tiger, so her body was already trembling slightly.
Suxin was frightened for a moment, and her face turned pale when she thought of what she had just said. When I looked outside, I suddenly became even more distraught, because Cao Cao was about to arrive. Emperor Liu Jixing walked in with his hands behind his back. I don't know if he heard this. She was so frightened that she trembled and sat down on the carpet.
Yuzhen on the side was so frightened that her whole body became weak and she suddenly crawled on the carpet. Lu Ya was sitting there, trembling slightly. After all, the emperor had personally reprimanded him two days ago because of King Yong Shao's incident. Thinking of the emperor's usual favor towards her, she could only sigh in her heart.
Liu Jixing really heard what Suxin said, but he didn't care about Suxin's meaning. Because Meng Chang's daughters were trained by Li Chen and went to Hualin Garden to serve him, which was far from Li Chen's responsibility. But what surprised Liu Jixing was that Meng Chang's princesses had no intention of resisting, which surprised Liu Jixing.
According to historical records, Meng Chang had six princesses: Princess Qingcheng Shang Yi Chongdu, Princess Jincheng Shang Zhao Wenliang, Princess Fengyi Shang Li Xiaojin, Princess Chang'an Shang Han Chongsui, and Princess Luan Guo Shang Wu Kegong. There was another princess named Zhao Chengxi, but what is surprising is that because it was after Shuzhong returned to the Song Dynasty, this Zhao Chengxi was the son of Zhao Pu, an important minister of the Song Dynasty.
But in this era, Meng Chang's Princess Meng Qingluan of Meishan married Liu Jixing. According to Liu Jixing's understanding, this Princess Meishan should be the one who married Zhao Chengxi. Since history has gone awry, not to mention that Meng Chang has now arrived at Prince Xing's Mansion, Liu Jixing naturally becomes a little honest and rude. What's more, these soldiers in Shu, seemingly because of their smuggling into Huarui, actually screened more than ten princesses and princesses from the Meng family and sent a lot of them into the palace.
Originally, for the defeated people in the past dynasties, it was the best ending for their families to have this kind of destination. Meng Chang's six living brothers and two sisters were also taken to Prince Xing's Mansion. What surprised Liu Jixing was that Meng Chang's sister Princess Chonghua married Yi Yanhuan, but his daughter Princess Qingcheng actually married Yi Yanhuan's grandson Yi Chongdu. Regarding this messy identity, Liu Jixing finally Some are used to it.
But Liu Jixing knew that the princes-in-law of Meng Chang's princesses were all powerful families in Shu. The Yi family, the Zhao family, the Li family, the Han family, the Wu family, it can be said that any family is the seat of great power in Shu. As for Yan Wang Yiye, Kui Wang Renyi, Ya Wang Renzhi, Peng Wang Renyu, Jia Wang Rencao, although some of the female relatives of these royal members were selected to join the palace, Liu Jixing was unlikely to try immediately.
Most of the family members of these royal family members and courtiers were taken to Prince Xing's Mansion, but Liu Jixing did not dare to offend the public.
Meng Chang may have never dreamed that just a humble refugee gang could take over his world. Not only could he not believe this kind of oolong thing, but even Liu Jixing, who was enjoying his women, couldn't digest his own pride.
However, due to the practice of Shenglong Gong and Tao Zun's expanded meridians, Liu Jixing was able to almost keep the women intact. Li Qian also caught Liu Jixing's hobbies, and the princess and princess he chose were all Liu Jixing liked, and for a while he was in awe of each other in the side hall. Although these women were panicked, they felt the subversion of their status and did not dare to have any intention to resist.
So for a while, Liu Jixing allowed himself to act recklessly. After enjoying the service of these beauties, he finally thought of who these people were. But it's hard to blame Li Qian for taking advantage of others and quickly sneaking away to Lu Ya's side.
As for these princesses and princesses, how many of them can stay in the palace in the end depends on whether Li Chen can take care of himself.
It seems that all this is God's will, and there is no deliberate maintenance in time, but because everything is letting nature take its course, everything is undergoing subtle changes!
