Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0122 Shoushu Baoqiang Sends His Former Slaves, Returns Feng Yinqiao to Provide Servants

The Supreme Emperor did not allow the emperor to depose the Eastern Empress Dowager, but he finally let go. This time, the Eastern Empress Dowager was bound to be sent out of the capital, and she was not allowed to come back to disturb the court.

Although the emperor was dissatisfied, he also knew that this was the result of the emperor's ruthless determination.On the way back, when the emperor talked about this with Daiyu, he could not help but tinge some resentment in his tone: "When I should be cruel, I soften my heart. So many mistakes have happened because of this."

It really wasn't that he was being disrespectful, if it wasn't for King He Rui, a brave younger brother who is good at fighting, the Supreme Emperor might not have been able to sit on the throne so securely all these years.As the king of the emperor, he has the benevolence of a woman, and he is unwilling to part with this one, and he is unwilling to live up to that one, forcibly imprisoning everyone in a strange circle, becoming distorted and cruel.

Daiyu patted the emperor's hand comfortingly, with a smile on her lips, she said softly, "The Supreme Emperor is always thinking of you."

He said so on the lips, but he was thinking in his heart, back then, everyone didn't understand why the Supreme Emperor was in his prime of life, why he retired to the Summer Palace early and ignored political affairs.Now that I think about it, I can vaguely catch the shadow.Such a person is not suitable to be an emperor, he probably discovered it himself.

The emperor sent Daiyu to the gate of the Xinghuachun Pavilion, but he didn't go in. He just said: "I have to go to the Zhengda Guangming Hall. You tell the ancestors the result, and I won't go in."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and then asked if he would come over for lunch today.The emperor said he was busy with government affairs, so he would not come here, so Daiyu told him to eat less cold tea and rest more, so he came to the Xinghuachun Pavilion.

"Old ancestor, please have a taste."

"Taste what?" Dai Yu stepped in and heard Tong Yi talking to the Empress Dowager.After meeting the Empress Dowager, she saw Tong Yi looking at herself expectantly.

Tong Yi was holding the medicine bowl, and when she talked to Daiyu, there was a bit of a complaint: "The empress came just in time, please help persuade the old ancestor. I coughed a few times when I got up early, and I didn't eat it after breakfast. Coughing. According to the imperial doctor's prescription, I made a substitute for tea, but my ancestors refused to eat it."

"That's how it is." Daiyu took the medicine bowl, stepped forward and handed it to the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile: "Please give me a face, my ancestors, my aunt told me, if the ancestors still refuse to take it , They should all laugh at me."

The Empress Dowager told her that she couldn't help laughing: "Nonsense, who dares to laugh at you? It's just you coaxing me to take medicine."

In fact, drinking instead of tea is not considered medicine. This is a safe prescription, which is prescribed by the Imperial Hospital according to different seasons.In summer, most of them are used for clearing heat and regulating qi, and most of them are added with medicinal materials such as chamomile, fried grain buds, antelope horn[1], cloud poria cocos, etc. It is definitely not delicious, but it will not be too bitter, making it hard to swallow .

But the Empress Dowager always liked sweets, and she was most reluctant to touch these slightly bitter things.Besides, the cough is not serious, it's just that I didn't have a good rest last night, so I only coughed twice this morning.

She was unwilling to eat this food in every possible way, but seeing Daiyu's faintly worried expression, she was afraid that she and the emperor would be worried about it, so she had to take it and eat it.

Daiyu wanted to wait for the Empress Dowager to take the medicine before answering, so she just stood there without speaking.The Empress Dowager took most of the medicine, when she suddenly heard a low noise from outside.

Tong Yi winked at Gui Lan, and Gui Lan was about to go out to ask questions, when he saw a black shadow rushing in suddenly.Gui Lan hurriedly turned around to chase, but couldn't catch it, and watched helplessly as the black shadow skipped the Empress Dowager and carried it to the high table.On the high table was a cloisonné enamel butterfly-pattern skimming bottle, and the black shadow just pawed at the mouth of the bottle and hid his body behind the skimming bottle.

"What is it?" Daiyu was startled, and couldn't help but took two steps towards the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager was also bluffed, she put down the medicine bowl and stood up, protecting Daiyu behind her first, then frowned and looked at it carefully.

Before he had time to distinguish what it was, Zhou Shoulian came in sweating and replied, "Damn the slave! You let this beast disturb the ancestors and the empress, and the slave will die forever!"

"Save the apology for later." The Empress Dowager signaled him to stop, pointing in the direction of the bottle and saying, "Quickly, catch it and throw it out!"

The little eunuchs on the side had already been ready to go. As soon as the master spoke, he tiptoed forward, glanced forward quickly, and caught it, and held it firmly in his hand for the Empress Dowager to have a look at.

When the Empress Dowager saw it, she said, "Why does it look familiar?"

"It looks like the little black monkey raised by the Empress Dowager Dong." Gui Lan looked at it seriously.The little black monkey is timid, and she only saw it a few times when she went to Kunyi Palace to deliver things.

Zhou Shou repeatedly apologized and said, "Good eyesight, this is the little monkey raised by the Eastern Empress Dowager. I don't know how it escaped today, but it ran from the Changchun Garden to the Yuanmingyuan. It is quite powerful."

"Little monkey?" Daiyu couldn't help but glanced at it. She hadn't seen what a monkey looked like, she had only read it in a book.

I saw it curled up in the little eunuch's hand, and it was only as big as a kitten.The whole body is black hair, no wonder it is called a black monkey.It was caught mercilessly, and looked uncomfortable, with endless fear and fear in its eyes.It was amazing to say that Daiyu actually read the begging look in its eyes, as if asking for help.

"Don't touch the empress." The empress dowager forbade Daiyu to touch her, "Looking at your pitiful appearance, she might come up and bite you." She pulled Daiyu to sit on the throne bed, and urged the servants to send her off. When he went out, he didn't mention the punishment.

Zhou Shou even escaped a catastrophe, and his legs were weak when he went out.

Kneeling under the hall steps were two young eunuchs, trembling with fear under the sun.Zhou Shoulian glared at the two of them viciously, and reprimanded: "Today is your fate, the empress is inside, and the old ancestors will not punish you in the face of the empress. If you dare to be so reckless in the future, it will be the king of heaven." Even if you lose your head, you have to move!"

After frightening them, they asked someone to return the little black monkey to them: "Take it back and watch it, don't tell it to run around again. Beasts are ignorant, so don't you know how to behave?"

The two little eunuchs seemed to have just walked through the mountains of swords and fires. They were so surprised and happy that they almost cried. They kowtowed to the door several times and said "kowtow to the empress for your kindness" and "kneel to thank the ancestors for their great kindness" and so on.

When he got up to leave, the little black monkey, which was firmly held in his arms by the little eunuch, raised his head and let out a "chirp", the voice was so sharp that it even looked a bit miserable.Zhou Shoulian looked up involuntarily, and saw that the little black monkey cried out and then burst into tears.

Watching them off, Zhou Shoulian said to himself, "It's really strange, even animals shed tears?"

The eunuch who caught the little black monkey just now glanced at him, and told him in a low voice: "That monkey is full of injuries, but it has too much hair, so you can't see it."

He found out as soon as he caught it in his hand just now, but the master was not interested in asking, so he didn't open his mouth.

Zhou Shoulian shook his head, with helplessness in his eyes.The fate of these people is no different from that of that monkey, it's just a half-baked laugh at a hundred.

"Beasts are not like human beings. No matter how obedient they are on weekdays, they will inevitably cross the line and act violently." The Empress Dowager has always been tolerant of animals, and she likes both cats and dogs.Because they are not as easy to control as slaves, they are more tolerant to them.But there are some things that have to be guarded against. Daiyu is young, and the emperor indulges her blindly, but he doesn't know that sometimes he is too lenient and puts her in danger.

The Empress Dowager said: "I heard that the emperor sent you two iron-eating beasts?"

Daiyu was a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "I didn't bring them into the garden this time. I named them Ganyun and Kuzhu."

"It's common to keep a funny dog. I also like to raise a kitten and puppy to relieve boredom. Iron-eating beasts are fierce after all. Just look at them and don't get too close to them. In case of a sudden collision like today, it will be a big problem. How unworthy is it to hurt yourself?" She then scolded the emperor: "The emperor too, he didn't know how to send some docile and easy-to-raise animals, but instead sent a monster like an iron-eating beast."

Daiyu blushed slightly, and defended the emperor in a low voice: "The emperor thinks that I have never seen it before, and it is a rare thing, so he sent it to me to keep. I usually just watch it from a distance, and don't touch it."

The Empress Dowager looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and Daiyu felt uncomfortable being watched by her, and said coyly, "Old Ancestor, what are you looking at?"

"I see our empress..." The Empress Dowager smiled and hugged her in her arms: "Good boy, the emperor is lucky to meet you..."

After chatting for a while, Daiyu and the Empress Dowager began to talk about serious matters: "...The Emperor Taishang meant to take back the empress, the empress dowager's treasure and the phoenix seal of the Eastern Empress Dowager, and then sent the Eastern Empress Dowager to the heat for the purpose of praying for blessings from the late emperor. River Palace."

The empress dowager's expression became serious, "I was thinking about how to get her to hand over the phoenix seal. Now the empress dowager speaks, which saves a lot of trouble."

Originally there was no queen in the palace, Concubine Shu said that she was in charge of Fengyin and the sixth palace, but in fact the decision-making power was still in the hands of the Eastern Queen Mother.If Concubine Shu wants to use the Phoenix seal, she has to ask the Queen Mother East for instructions.Now ordering the withdrawal of the book treasure and the phoenix seal, in a sense, the power that the Eastern Empress Dowager should have as a queen mother is gone.Although the honorary title is retained, it is indeed a practice of not abandoning it.The empress dowager felt that the empress dowager's concerns were justified, and it was a good idea.

But you can't let the Queen Mother go away so lightly, you have to let her taste the feeling of being alone and helpless, losing her left and right arms.

The Empress Dowager said: "Empress Dowager Dong feels filial piety to the world. I think the palace servants who served her were very careless. In my opinion, it is better to ask the good ones to serve her. The chief eunuch in her palace is also old and very old. It's time for another one. Daiyu, you are the queen now, and the selection is up to you."

"Yes." On the way back, Daiyu thought of this incident, and it was inevitable to rely on the people she was used to, and she might do something.Only breaking her arm can make her unbearable.Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager thought of going with her.

Daiyu tentatively said: "I chose a leading lady for the Queen Mother, an aunt named Zhiyi over the conservatory. She is 27 years old this year. I asked you for your grace to stay in the palace as a nanny before, so I didn't Let it out."

The empress dowager's eyes could not help showing admiration.
