The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Chapter 242 The Royal Concubine

Emperor Xuande took a look at Lin Ye, who was standing in the second position as a civil servant, and saw that his little head was hanging low. He wanted to tease him as much as he wanted, so he turned his face and said, "Lin Ye, the son of Lin Hai!" where?"

In fact, Lin Ye had already made preparations in his heart, not to mention anything else, the Lin family has two detectives, and the Kong family has been scholarly for generations. With the names of these two families, they are destined to attract attention!In addition, he also knew that his father was Emperor Xuande's favorite minister, so it was strange that Emperor Xuande didn't see him this time!

Seeing that Emperor Xuande named his name, Lin Ye was not surprised at all, so he came out of the line, knelt down and replied: "Student Lin Ye, please greet the emperor, long live my emperor!" He already has the reputation of a scholar , You can call yourself a student!

"Get flat!" Emperor Xuande fell in love with him when he saw his white and lovely appearance.

man!They are all members of the Appearance Association.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Ye thanked En and got up.

Emperor Xuande said: "Raise your head and let me see."

Lin Ye raised his head only now, but his gaze was still slightly drooping, and he did not look directly at Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, you look good." Then he said to Lin Hai who was standing beside him, "I still remember Lin Aiqing, the heroic look you had when you were in high school. But how many young men in the capital are envied, and how many girls in the boudoir secretly agree! I thought that Lin Aiqing's appearance was hard to find in the world, but I didn't expect that Aiqing's son is better than blue than blue!"

Lin Hai came out and gave a salute and said: "Thank you for your praise, the dog just fits the emperor's eyes, that's all!"

These words are both self-effacing and not self-deprecating, and the distance between the emperor and the emperor is not suspected of patting the horse. The emperor couldn't help smiling, and said to Lin Hai: "Ai Qing still likes to be self-effacing so much."

Emperor Xuande gave a few words of advice to all the officials and eunuchs, even if the interview was over.Get up and leave your seat.Everyone knelt down to send off the holy driver again, and then they were led by the servants as when they came, and they left the side hall one by one.After returning to the front yard.Even if everyone has finished their errands, they can go back to their homes.

Lin Hai stayed with Emperor Xuande for a day, and waited for the sun to set before returning to the Lin Mansion.As soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, he saw Kong Jiayi sitting there with a strange face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, even he entered the room.No response either.

Going up to push Kong Jiayi, Lin Haiwan asked earnestly, "Jiayi, are you okay! What's the matter? But did you get angry with the concubine?"

Kong Jiayi was pushed by Lin Hai, and she came back to her senses, "Master. You are back. Have you eaten yet. I will ask the servants to prepare food for you."

Kong Jiayi was about to get up when Lin Hai pressed him down, "Jiayi, what happened to you just now? Don't hide it from me!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but I was thinking about something just now!" Kong Jiayi said with a slight smile.

Lin Hai saw that Kong Jiayi's face didn't change much, so he let her go to arrange food in peace!

After eating a few bites in a hurry, Lin Hai let the servants in the room go down, and asked with concern: "What happened?"

Kong Jiayi said with a smile on his face: "Master, nothing serious happened. It's just that when I went to meet the accompanying concubine today, there was an extra concubine Zhen, which surprised me?"

"Concubine Zhen!?" Lin Hai was a little puzzled, when did it appear.

"She is the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Zhen family in Jinling. I heard that when he was in the Zhen family, the emperor fell in love with her at first sight, and immediately made her a concubine Zhen!" Jinling and Yangzhou are still quite close, not to mention Lin Hai, but Kong Jiayi I only found out about this when I went to visit the accompanying concubine today.

Recently, everyone is concerned about the issue of pick-up, and not many people care about these gossips.

love at first sight! ?

I rely on.

Who are you kidding!

Shit love at first sight.

When the emperor, there is no such thing as a couple for life, so what about the famous infatuated Emperor Shunzhi, when he favored Concubine Dong E, there were still a few princes and daughters in the harem.

The emperor's love is not love, but conspiracy.

Lin Hai picked up his mouth and smiled and said, "The Zhen family has a lot of glory this time!"

Another pick-up, and another concubine.

The consequences of the Feng Dynasty imitated the system of officials in the court.The queen is the first rank in the court, and there are four wives below: Gui, Shu, Xian, and De, who are the first rank.The concubine is only from the fourth rank, but just like the fourth and fifth ranks in the officialdom, it is the same in the harem.If you are promoted to the rank of concubine, you are eligible to live alone in the first palace, you are eligible to raise your own children, and you are eligible to speak about your palace to the outside world.

There is a huge difference between concubines and concubines and below.

Although Emperor Xuande has some traits of a scumbag, for example, there are dozens of women in the harem now, but Emperor Xuande is also quite restrained. At least it is extremely difficult to climb up this rank. The high-ranking concubines in the harem, except There are only five queens, Concubine Zhang De, Concubine Yi, Concubine Ning, Zhao Shurong, and Zhou Shuyuan.

Among them, Concubine Zhang De, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Zhao were all promoted because of their childbirth, while Concubine Ning and Zhou Shuyuan were promoted because of their family background, but these two are obviously not as favored as the first three.

In Emperor Xuande's harem, there are two more concubines, Zhang Chongyi and Liu Chongyi.

In other words, this Miss Zhen's family was under eight people and above dozens of people when she entered the palace.

This is considered a favor, isn't it?

Kong Jiayi smiled and said: "No, you haven't seen that Concubine Zhen's proud look, isn't she just a royal concubine!" Kong Jiayi raised his eyebrows, a little disdainful.

Concubine, to put it bluntly, is not just a concubine!

Not to mention being a concubine, even a noble concubine, she is also a concubine in front of the queen.

Why is it that in Duogongdou novels, the favorite thing is to form a group to fight the big boss of the queen, not to take charge of palace affairs.Because the empress is responsible for the transfer of the harem personnel, or to be correct, the empress is in charge of the harem affairs.

Therefore, as the main wife, how could Kong Jiayi be willing to lower her status to please these concubines? Even though she is the emperor's concubine, she is only one concubine.At most, it's just a matter of face!

Lin Hai also laughed and said: "Why can't I be proud? If it were me, I would naturally be proud. There are so many concubines in the emperor's harem, only Empress Ning and Empress Zhou Shuyuan are canonized by high positions. She is a person who has not even passed the general election. Overcoming such an adult canonize her as a concubine. If it were me, I wish the whole world would know about it!"

Kong Jiayi was amused by Lin Hai's humorous statement, "The Zhen family is still low-key if you say that about others! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find out about this now. But the emperor's favor for the Zhen family is true. "

Although it is said that the old lady of the Zhen family is the eldest grandson of Emperor Xuande, he is not so favored.

Lin Hai pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.

He didn't believe that Emperor Xuande would really treat a family so favorably!Don't say it's just that he was raised by milk, even the Yuan family, the mother's family of Emperor Xuande's biological mother, if he doesn't have the ability, he won't be reused by the emperor.

In fact, many people do not understand one thing. It is true that there is a saying that "nephews and uncles kiss each other, and the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected." The prince of his own blood is on the throne.But they all forgot one thing, that is, the world is always in their father's house, not in their mother's house. Even if they take that seat, once someone threatens the imperial power, they will all It's not recognized by the six relatives.

Therefore, regardless of the current analysis or because he knew the final outcome of the Zhen family, Lin Hai was not optimistic about the Zhen family.

The reason lies in the pick-up.

According to the records of this era, Jiangnan was clearly the domain of the Jia family and the Wang family before, but the late emperor did not trust them, so every southern tour was taken over by the Jia family and the Wang family.As a result, the glory is there, but the lining has long been empty.

Otherwise, why should the Wang family be short of so much silver even though they were also one of the founding heroes. Judging from the time that Emperor Xuande asked for it, it would be more than enough to earn back the little silver that was returned to the treasury.

The reason is to pick up the driver!Otherwise, the Wang family would not bow their heads and accept the kindness of the Xue family. After all, no matter what happens in secret, the Xue family is a business in the open.

When the emperor stayed at the Jia family and the Wang family, on the surface it seemed that he loved and cared for these two families, but in fact he was cheating these two families.It's not that Jinling doesn't have a palace, so it's better to send someone to tidy it up first, so it's more comfortable than living in the courtier's house, but I have to go to the courtier's house to live.

The preparations for the pick-up are no joke, without 10 taels of silver, it really can't support the scene.When the first emperor visited the south that year, he either stayed at the Jia family or the Wang family. This reputation has been established, but what about the inside?But it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

Or the patriarchs of the two families saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly handed over the power of Jiangnan and went back to the capital, otherwise the Jia family and the Wang family would have been killed by the late emperor long ago!Otherwise, if Jia Daishan had made such a great contribution, if it wasn't for what happened in the south of the Yangtze River back then, how could he just hang the sign of the Duke's Mansion instead of being promoted directly!

With Jia Daishan's meritorious service in rescuing him, he is completely qualified!

Come on, what an honor!That's because Emperor Xuande gave the Zhen family great face.

It seems to be an honor now, but later!

Kill it, kill it!

That is to hold first, then kill later.

Lin Hai even thought evilly, Emperor Xuande would not be like Emperor Qianlong, raising a big rat, waiting for the new emperor to go up and slaughter it, to prove his wisdom!

This is a good way, the new emperor has such fame, money, and prestige!

Lin Hai said somewhat inscrutablely: "Look around! There will be a day when the result will be known." Whether it is a favor or not, we will wait and see!

However, it is destined to disappoint some people.
