Chapter 339: The imperial concubine (8)

Chu Xiang and Xiao Yuanzhao thought of one place by mistake, and they naturally became more in harmony with each other. The fourth concubine was a vegetarian copying the scriptures in her palace. Every day, she heard how the emperor loved the imperial concubine, and how many things he rewarded the imperial concubine, how many cases were broken for the imperial concubine, and she liked eating with the imperial concubine. Yunyun, it was really going to be blown up, and the porcelain was smashed one after another.
As an imperial concubine, Chu Xiang is in charge of Feng Yin and has the power to rule the Sixth Palace. After asking someone to ask about the expenses in the lower palace, she said, "Several sisters have damaged so much porcelain in the palace. I think they are not used to porcelain. The servants under you don’t know how to change things for the master. Let’s go, Replace them with gold and silver objects, so they won’t break."
The people in the Internal Affairs Office were a little embarrassed, but Chu Xiang glanced at him carelessly, and he was embarrassed and hurriedly responded. No matter how the first few gods fight, no one can provoke him to a small job, as long as he obeys the order.
The steward became more mindful and handed the news to Liang Zhong before proceeding. Liang Zhong pondered for a while, summoned a young from Taihe Palace to inquire about the situation at the time, and then truthfully reported it to the emperor.
Xiao Yuanzhao stunned after hearing this, and then said amusedly: "Swap the porcelain to gold and silver? She can't figure it out." He thought for a while, waved, "Listen to the imperial concubine, and the harem will be taken care of by her."
Liang Zhong glanced at him carefully, led his orders to pass on the words, secretly instructed his apprentice and a few valued palace men that he must not provoke the imperial concubine, this master will be the one most favored in the future. Be careful and respect.
Liang Zhong has been with Xiao Yuanzhao for ten years. He observed these days and found that Xiao Yuanzhao really attached great importance to Chu Xiang. It’s absolutely true that the master values ​​whoever he values. And with his words, some of the important palace people in the harem knew how much Chu Xiang was favored.
The steward of the House of Internal Affairs did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately implemented Chu Xiang's order, put away all the porcelain in the Four Concubine Palace, and replaced a large amount of gold and silver decorations. Speaking of the newly-changed furnishings are also very delicate, after all, it is something in the palace, but in the eyes of the four concubines, it is vulgar, and it is Chu Xiang's humiliation to them!
Concubine Xi was about to rush to Taihe Palace to find Chu Xiang to settle accounts, but she was stopped at the door of her palace. She angrily said: "Who will allow you to stop this palace? Why can't this palace go out?"
The gatekeeper said without expression: "Returning to the words of the empress, the imperial concubine has an order, and several empresses concentrate on copying the scriptures to pray for blessings sincerely. If there is a side in their heart, it is blasphemy, so during the copying of the scriptures No going out. The emperor ordered the minions and others to listen to the imperial concubine's orders."
Concubine Xi was so angry that she had always been domineering in this harem, when was it Chu Xiang's turn to speak? But the emperor also ordered it, she can't violate the holy will.
After a long while, Concubine Xi suppressed her anger, snorted coldly with her fists, flicked her sleeves back to her room, and quickly copied the sixth book.
The same thing was born to the other three concubines. They are angry, but they don’t have to press Chu Xiang like Xi Fei. They think more that the emperor has begun to pet the concubine, so do they also have it? Chance? They should quickly finish copying the scriptures and pull the emperor's heart to their side.
That night, Xiao Yuanzhao had a meal with Chu Xiang. Xiao Yuanzhao mentioned this incident casually, and said with a smile: "The idea of ​​concubine love is strange. No one has done this before."
Chu Xiang held a cup of scented tea and drank slowly, and smiled and said, "Who let them harm things? The emperor gave them all the porcelain they smashed. If they don't care about it, they just want to damage it, and the concubines are not easy to understand. To punish them is to add obstacles to them and let them restrain themselves.
The so-called "Jumen wine (meat rou) smells bad, and there are frozen bones in the road", this is to teach them not to be extravagant and wasteful. "
Xiao Yuanzhao raised his hand to smooth her hair, and listened to her in her heart: these four uneasy people are not to be liked by the emperor. We should find more things for them and make them less annoying. It seems that the emperor is still innocent before the next general election.
It was not the first time that Xiao Yuanzhao knew that she was disgusted with being a husband with other women. He suddenly thought, if he pampered others and came to her again, would she have to evade him?
This idea (gou) aroused his curiosity, but at present he has no idea about women (color), his great cause has not been achieved, and he does not want to be out of line. He just thought about it for a while and then put it aside. He thought that Concubine Xi was on the side of the regent, and mentioned to Chu Xiang, "Concubine Xi (sexual xing) Zi Lie, do things without regard to the consequences, I am afraid that you will suffer. ."
Chu Xiang said indifferently: "I have the emperor guarding me, what can she do to me."
She thought to herself that it was really boring that the regent sent her concubine Xi into the harem to confuse her. If she had the ability, she should rule the emperor in the court and the army. What does it mean to touch the harem?
Xiao Yuanzhao almost didn't control his expression. He knew that Concubine Xi was the regent because he had a mind-reading skill. How could Chu Xiang also know this? As Chu Xiang said, the regent actually sent a woman to disturb the harem, which he had never thought of before, so he only recently learned about the identity of Concubine Xi, and Chu Xiang actually knew.
He tentatively said, "Hee Concubine's father and brother are still very useful, and I can't make her feel sad in the palace."
Chu Xiang glanced at him without a trace. What does this mean? Concubine Xi’s family has obviously taken refuge in the regent. The emperor knew it a long time ago, so he still needs them? Is it in the layout?
She thought about it, and reluctantly said, "My father and brother are also very capable (gans). If the emperor has anything to do, it's better to leave it to my father and brother to do it, and I will be able to do it for you."
"You are bold enough to say anything." Xiao Yuanzhao squinted his eyes and concealed the shock in his eyes by looking down at the tea. How did she know that Concubine Hee's family took refuge in the regent? Even if the Chu family told her this, how did she make sure that he knew about it? Why does she seem to be a harem girl who doesn't leave the house knowing everything? Could it be that the power of the Chu family is greater than he knew? Is there actually a (强qiang) big intelligence network?
Chu Xiang didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw that he was not angry, he knew that his bottom line was very low. He smiled and said, "The emperor, I didn't know why the concubine was named the emperor and concubine. Now you see, my father and Concubine Xi His fathers are all Shangshu, so Concubine Xi doesn't put me in his eyes. If I want to take the seat of the imperial concubine, of course my father is better than her father. The emperor, right?"
Chu Xiang is like a little woman who trusts the emperor wholeheartedly, with her eyes full of closeness and trust, Xiao Yuanzhao almost laughed, I believe in your evil!
He heard what Chu Xiang was thinking in his heart, the regent suppressed the Chu family, then let the emperor give the Chu family more power and cut off the regent's arm. The Chu family is also preparing to collect evidence of crimes committed by the household department Shangshu. After so many years as an official, the family is prosperous, so that children will inevitably commit crimes.
Xiao Yuanzhao looked at Chu Xiang's seemingly thoughtless appearance, but in fact he had a lot of calculations, and he was quite successful. He couldn't help but wonder, where did she come from? Did the Chu family let her participate in these things? It's no wonder that she can't tolerate her man with other women, and she has not been constrained by the rules of the back house.
So if she was to rely on her, what step could she do?
Xiao Yuanzhao only thought about it for a while. He had his plan, and of course he couldn't let Chu Xiang mess up and ruin the things he had planned for a long time. He patted Chu Xiang's hand to calm down and said, "Your father and brother are capable (gan). If there is a suitable errand, I will definitely think of them. Don't (fuck cao) with these things, just heal your wounds quickly. Seriously." He approached Chu Xiang and teased in her ear, "I am still waiting to be a real husband and wife with Concubine, Ai Concubine must not let me wait too long."
Chu Xiang lowered his head shyly, thinking that the injury would not be "good" for a while. Xiao Yuanzhao heard it deliberately hugged her waist to her arms, and whispered: "Ai Concubine..."
He had abdominal muscles, but he didn't expect the emperor to look thin and in good shape, so he must be very comfortable to hold.
Xiao Yuanzhao was choked with saliva before he said anything. He saw Chu Xiang looked up worriedly, but still put his little hand on him and didn't take it away. (强qiang) endured the urge to pull her away and said with a smile: "I I'm not having trouble with my concubine, don't stumble on my concubine's wound. It's getting late, my concubine has a rest earlier, and I will go back."
"The emperor also rested earlier. Don't be too tired." Chu Xiang sent him away, thinking with some regret that he fits her well everywhere, why is he an emperor? Three thousand beauties in the harem, she doesn't like it.
Xiao Yuanzhao's expression was a little strange when he walked out of the Taihe Palace, but fortunately, the palace people did not dare to look directly at the face of the sky and were not seen.
He felt a little surprised, his ears were still a bit hot. What did Chu Xiang mean just now? If he had no other women, she would be willing to sleep with him? She also likes his looks and figure. Could it be that she has observed the looks and figures of other men in the past?
Thinking of this, he frowned, and when he returned to the palace, he ordered the dark guard to check Chuxiang's life, especially all the men she had contacted. He doesn't know why he wants to check, but he just wants to know, then he must figure it out.
Chu Xiang asked Qiankun Jing to go to the Fourth Concubine for a while, focusing on Concubine Xi to spread the news. She stayed in the harem temporarily. Of course, she had to understand her thoroughly. She had let Qiankun Jing monitor the Fourth Concubine early, and easily discovered the identity of Concubine Xi, even the people who handled her message.
Chu Xiang wrote down the names of those people, and added a few more nails from the regent Wang An (inserted cha) in the harem, and said to Hongrui: "During the small election, add more people in and let them out. palace."
"Yes, mother."
Chu Xiang took a look at her, called Qing Zhu, and took the exam for them. Seeing that they remembered what she taught very well, he said, "You should go out of the palace during the small election. My mother will settle you well. Don't be afraid. , Do well."
These days, the two of them have accepted this arrangement, and they are also very dedicated to memorizing Professor Chu Xiang’s things. Now that the time has come, they both kneel on the ground and bowed to Chu Xiang. They choked and said, "In the future, slaves and maids cannot serve the maid. From left to right, Wang Niangniang's phoenix body is healthy, and her longevity stretches."
What Chu Xiang teaches them is simple and easy to use, and they are also very good, and she feels at ease with them.
Before the small election, Madam Chu handed over the sign to the palace again, told Chu Xiang which people she had sent in, and then discussed with Chu Xiang about opening a shop outside the palace. Having said this, Mrs. Chu said to Chu Xiang: "Your brother said you are a little bit squeamish, and you have with the emperor?"
Chu Xiang smiled and flicked her, "The emperor likes this, mother, leave it alone."
Mrs. Chu was skeptical, "Really? Then you... deliberately did what you like, just to abandon the rules?"
Chu Xiang nodded earnestly, "If you don't believe me, ask your brother. He saw it with his own eyes. The emperor treats me well. You can't eat if you don't come here to eat every day. So don't worry, just take care of your home. Now the emperor. Love me, that is a great time for the family. Both father and brother should do more and do more. In this way, the emperor will reward them with eyesight and give them more power."
Mrs. Chu said with joy, "But what has the emperor revealed?"
Chu Xiang smiled, "The emperor admires father and brother very much."
Mrs. Chu also heard Chu Shangshu said that she would help the emperor with all her heart, and said that the emperor was very satisfied with them. But to get the exact words from Chu Xiang, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill, and she was so comfortable that she kept saying yes. I had to persuade Chu Xiang to treat the emperor well, but I forgot about it now.
When the emperor's secret guard went to investigate the Chu family, he happened to hear Madam Chu and Chu Shangshu saying this, and when he returned, he reported it to Xiao Yuanzhao.
Xiao Yuanzhao really didn't know whether to be angry, this woman dared to say anything. What does it mean that he can't eat without him? Why does he like her like this? What's wrong with him like this? Had it not been known that she was inconsistent and pretended, he would have kept her out of sight. Right now, the Chu family and his wife might think he has some quirks, which is really tickling.
But she really dared to fool her family, and said that he gave hints, as long as they performed well, they would be promoted. When did he hint? It turned out that she didn't ventilate with the Chu family at all, she was clearly flicking between him and the Chu family. But with that said, does she have her own intelligence network?
Xiao Yuanzhao wanted to break his head but couldn't think that Chu Xiang had a universe mirror, and he could know the world without going out. He just felt that he hadn't done enough, and he had to work harder if he wanted to be a good emperor, but he had endless fighting spirit and he was busy late at night.
Before Chu Xiang (Shui Shui) glanced at him with the Universe Mirror, and saw that he was still busy, he thought it was pitiful to be the emperor, and then he comfortably (sleeps Shui) without knowing that she made the emperor so "pitiful" s reason.
