Zhang Yan still stopped and glanced at the Political Hall, then turned back to Kunning Palace.
Shortly after Zhang Yan returned to Kunning Palace, Fan Yaosheng, who was beside her, came to her and reported: "Mother, Concubine Liu is here."
Zhang Yan, who was playing with plum blossoms, was quite surprised.
Mrs. Liu?
Why did you come to me suddenly?
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel wary because she didn't know Mrs. Liu.
But Zhang Yan knew that anyone called a concubine must be an old man in the palace, and she couldn't deal with it carelessly.
"Let her in."
Zhang Yan said something.
Soon, Mrs. Liu walked in. As soon as she saw Zhang Yan, she held Zhang Yan's hand and said with a smile: "After all, His Majesty personally chose her. This is the best look."
Zhang Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Liu, and asked in a nonchalant manner: "What's the matter with Concubine Liu?"
Concubine Liu sat down and said: "The Queen entered the palace for the first time, so she must not know about the affairs of the palace. It has only been more than a year since Your Majesty has been in the position of Dabao. However, rumors from the outside world that are not good for Your Majesty's reputation are rampant. Although we do not care about the affairs of the outer court. No, but if the inner court interferes with His Majesty’s good reputation, I think that as the head of the Sixth Palace, Queen, you should still take care of it. After all, you and Your Majesty are married, not to mention, this is also related to your own virtuous reputation."
Concubine Liu hoped that Queen Zhang Yan could lead Zhu Youxiao on the path of becoming a good emperor that conformed to Confucian standards, so she said this after meeting Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan fell silent after hearing this.
This is a very unfamiliar topic to her.
Because she has not yet thought about a good or bad reputation, nor has she thought about His Majesty's reputation.
What comes to her mind now is still the handsome boy who loves to hold her to sleep and who seems to have endless energy in him.
Are there a lot of rumors out there that are detrimental to his reputation?
Is there anything in the inner court that would hinder his good reputation?
I am the queen, I have to take care of it?
How to manage?
Why did this concubine come to tell me, instead of Your Majesty himself?
Zhang Yan couldn't help but carefully recall what Zhu Youxiao said to her after finishing the business.
"I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace! No one can teach me how to be a queen except him. Whoever teaches me is doing politics!"
Zhang Yan silently recalled what Zhu Youxiao had said to her.
For a moment, Zhang Yan seemed to have guessed the purpose of Concubine Liu's visit, so she deliberately frowned and asked: "Concubine, please tell me clearly, who in the inner court has affected your majesty's reputation?"
"Of course it's the Hakka family who still lives in Qianqing Palace. Qianqing Palace is the imperial palace. Queen, you can't live there permanently. How can she, the Hakka family's wet nurse, live in Qianqing Palace forever? There are already crazy rumors outside that the Hakka family is a witch. , to seduce Your Majesty, causing him to be dissolute, careless about government affairs, and favoring traitors. You see, if this continues, what will happen? Will the outside world really think that Your Majesty is an unprincipled and ignorant king?"
Concubine Liu frowned and said, "So, Queen, you have to take charge and find a way to expel the Hakka family from the palace."
Zhang Yan pursed her lips, glanced at Concubine Liu, and then said with no expression on her face: "I know, Concubine Liu, please go back first."
Seeing that Zhang Yan did not give a clear answer, Concubine Liu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and angry: "No, Queen, you have to show an attitude, otherwise the Hakka family may really think that you, the Queen, are nothing, and become more and more obsessed with Qianqing Palace. Prestige brings blessings.”
"Your Majesty said that only you can teach me how to be a queen. No one else can, not even you. You should go back! Your Majesty also said that the concubine is not the queen mother, and the concubines only need to be honest and honest. The Sixth Palace in the West is for old age, so you don’t have to worry about these things anymore, just go back.”
Zhang Yan said and glanced at Fan Yasheng: "Let's see the guests off!"
After hearing what Zhang Yan said, Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment, and finally she had to stand up and said with an awkward smile: "Then I'll go back."
"You have seen that if the selection of the concubine had been carried out according to etiquette and not allowed to be chosen by His Majesty himself and the concubine had been temporarily chosen as the Queen Mother, it would not have been like this. At least we could still teach the Pope, but now the Queen is taught by His Majesty himself. , and after being taught like this, the harem will be like the outer dynasty in the future, there will be a master who speaks the truth, and no words from us old guys will matter anymore."
After leaving Kunning Palace, Mrs. Liu spoke to Su Yao.
Su agreed: "Now His Majesty is very scheming and has plans for everything, even for the harem. I thought that there was an extra queen in the harem who could deal with the emperor with us, but I didn't expect that the emperor won the queen's heart first. Now it seems It seems that the queen is deliberately letting the queen take care of us and control us through the queen. Have you seen the plum blossoms in Kunning Palace? The queen has never left her eyes. I am afraid it is a gift from the emperor."
Concubine Liu nodded: "Before His Majesty came to the throne, except for the chamberlain who taught him some words, no one had time to teach him any royal skills. I don't know who he learned it from. I'm afraid he learned it from Xu Guangqi, the current lecturer of the Sutra Banquet. It has something to do with it, but now His Majesty has been taught to be so cunning!"
"It is useless to say this. It is better to focus on good luck. The concubine should go and see His Highness the Fifth. The eunuch who followed His Highness said that His Highness is very smart and sensible, and he has accepted the teachings of saints very quickly. "
Su agreed and started talking.
"Let's not go to see His Highness the Fifth Prince. Let's go see the Hakka family first. Since His Majesty wants the Queen to control the harem for him, I will let the Hakka family make trouble for him. When I see that His Majesty is abandoning the Hakka family or the Queen, on one side is Like a nursing mother for mother and child, on one side is the married couple.”
Concubine Liu spoke.
"The Concubine is so smart! When the time comes, as long as the Queen wants to control His Majesty, the Hakka family will never allow the emperor who has grown up with breasts to be controlled by a woman. And when the time comes, if the emperor can really abandon the Hakka family, then his diet will not be allowed. If you don't hand it back to others, then you can use some means once you have the choice of a benevolent monarch. If the emperor abandons the queen, it means that the emperor and the middle palace are not getting along. This will further ignore the emperor's reputation as a fool, and the people of the world will Be more willing to change.”
Su agreed and started talking.
"Let's go see Keshi!"
Concubine Liu smiled faintly and thought to herself: "How can this harem let the queen and the wet nurse like the queen mother be harmonious and beautiful? How can we old guys benefit from it!"
…
Fang Congzhe's reminder again made Zhu Youxiao pay more attention to his harem and his royal family.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao called Liu Ruoyu and asked: "Has the inner factory discovered anything new recently? Is there anyone in the harem who moves around frequently?"
Liu Ruoyu hurriedly replied: "Back to the Emperor! There has been no obvious adverse events in the harem recently, but Mrs. Liu has been traveling quite frequently recently."
Zhu Youxiao immediately turned cold after hearing this: "Where has she been?"
"She went to see the queen first, then to see Mrs. Guest, and then went to His Highness the Fifth! She held His Highness in her arms and talked for a while, saying that His Highness was pitiful and had no relatives, and she would come to care for him in the future."
Liu Ruoyu saw that Zhu Youxiao's face was getting more and more ugly, so he couldn't help but answer more carefully.
"What does it mean to have no relatives? I'm not his brother? This old guy looks a little dishonest!"
Zhu Youxiao cursed and asked, "What did she do when she went to see the Queen and Mrs. Guest?"
Liu Ruoyu hurriedly answered truthfully.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "You go to Kunning Palace to preach the message, and with Queen Zhang Yan, go to Concubine Zhuang to see His Highness the Fifth Prince. As the emperor's sister-in-law, you should take care of my emperor's brother for me."
