MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 78
Many years ago, the current emperor was only a small prince in a group of heroes. However, they made an extraordinary move. They became emperor in the second year of their official solo flight. At the end of the same year, they won the current city. Then they set the capital, perfected the laws, and organized the imperial court. The construction and expedition have been grasped with both hands, and it has gradually developed into a scale that is now almost unified in the world.
Shao Shang couldn't help but be convinced.
For example, the current capital was originally only the fiefdom of a certain vassal king in the previous dynasty. After the emperor occupied it, in order to save money, the old palace was directly used as a palace city—the current Nangong. Anyway, the population of the royal family is not large, and the palace in the Nangong Palace is quite large, so living at home and serving in the previous dynasty are all together. It was not until the year when the Wan Cheng brothers came to seek refuge, that the emperor saw that the treasury was gradually filling up, so he began to build a slightly larger Beigong community.
Overlooking the entire erected rectangular huge palace city, the North Palace is on the top, the South Palace is on the bottom, the upper and the lower are two square palaces, just like an inverted 'Lu' character, the north and south palaces are It is connected by a compound road, and around the word 'Lu', there are many scattered single palaces around, in addition, there are high towers and gardens, shrines and temples, administrative agencies and so on.
The Changqiu Palace where the Queen lives is located in the southwest of the North Palace.
The first generation of royal families are generally relatively simple.
First of all, the emperor's parents died early, so there is no such thing as the empress dowager and concubine. Secondly, the emperor's brother and brother all died in the battle, and when the younger brother died, he had no heirs, so he had to give the younger brother one of the two sons left by the elder brother to inherit the incense. Once again, the only remaining sister of the emperor is the eldest princess, who is almost sixty years old. She has a cheap young son under her knees, who is the Huangyang children's shoes who said that Shaoshang and Yuan Shen had a private meeting in the blacksmith shop in Ling Budo's house that day. .
Finally, the emperor currently has only one queen and two concubines, namely Empress Xuan, Concubine Yue, Xu Meiren, and Over.
"That's all?" I still remember Shaoshang's surprise when he first heard about the preparation of the harem, "Uncle Wan's concubines are more than this number."
Ling Budo asked, "How about the son of Wan Gong?"
Shao Shang sighed, this is the eternal pain of Wanjia.
"Ling Zun is only one person, and the descendants are numerous."
The emperor had eleven sons and five daughters, except that the five princes were unexpectedly acquired by Xu Meiren, Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue gave birth to five sons, and then one of Concubine Yue died prematurely. So Concubine Yue gave birth to another princess. Conclusion: Queen Xuan has five sons and two daughters, and Concubine Yue has four sons and three daughters, seven each.
Shao Shang: …This emperor is a Libra.
"Is the Empress Yue very favored by Your Majesty? Wouldn't that be bad for the Empress?" Even a girl who has never watched any Gong Dou Wen Gong Dou drama can have an association.
Ling Budo had a very indescribable expression: "...you will know this later."
However, Shaoshang didn't have time to pay attention to the relationship between the emperor's concubines and she now needs to readjust her biological clock.
Every morning, the young merchants must get up and clean up with the energy of rushing to self-study, and then take the carriage to the north gate of the west of the palace with the patience of catching the city subway. Walking south, you can reach Changqiu Palace—to sum up, get up before five o'clock, wash and eat for half an hour, arrive at Miyagi in more than an hour, and then walk for thirty or forty minutes to get to work.
In just two days, a few drops of ink in Shao Shang's stomach were clearly touched by the queen. From the third day, the queen began to teach Shao Shang various classics. Instead of asking the girl to recite the past scrolls like Mrs. Xiao, she systematically told Shao Shang how many scrolls she should read in total, including Confucian and Taoist classics, laws and regulations, family genealogy, and even taboos.
The queen likes to be quiet and quiet. When Shaoshang arrives at Changqiu Palace about ten minutes before nine o’clock every day, she often has finished the palace affairs, either reading with scrolls or practicing calligraphy. She asked the maid to put books and pen and ink for Shaoshang by her side, and from time to time she pointed out Shaoshang what the scriptures and scriptures meant, or pointed out Shaoshang's calligraphy, and then the morning passed like this.
The queen set up a room for the young merchant in the side hall of her palace, and let the little girl rest for a while after lunch every day. In the afternoon, the education of ladies and the popularization of etiquette began. The first is sacrifice, including the sacrifice of ancestors, gods and even mountains and rivers. The queen even summoned two ritual officials to tell Shao Shang in detail about the sacrifices from the royal family to the family of the princes, from the difference between sacrifices and prayers. The meaning of the word kneeling - listening to the little business two-eyed mosquito coils.
The second is all kinds of bridesmaids. For example, weaving can be divided into handling hemp, silk cocoon, weaving, grouping, and even cutting clothes; we also need to learn basic cooking, making soy sauce, brewing glutinous rice, and adding wine pulp, etc.
"...The concubine thought that the concubine would not have to work on these things by herself in the future." Shaoshangxue suffered unbearably.
The queen smiled and said, "You don't need to work by yourself, but if you learn to master these things, people will say that you are virtuous." When she said this, her dignified face like a template was slightly transparent. A bit of sarcasm.
Shang Mumu nodded. virtuous, very good.
Again, the most popular Liubo, chess, pot throwing, and the less popular Go, playing chess... At this time, the queen will call Luo Jitong to lead the little palace maids and Shaoshang play together.
Then the small businessman loses many battles and loses every bet. Even if she guesses five out of six dice, she can accurately avoid all the correct answers and pick the wrong one.
Luo Jitong smiled and pointed at her: "All your luck is probably spent on marriage!"
"You're so good." Luo Jitong looked disappointed, "I'm going to marry far away to the northwest, then you will spend more time with the queen."
Shao Shang grimaced. The queen is a typical standard lady raised in the upper class. Even if she prunes flowers and leaves, she can do it slowly for a long time, but she is a reservist who is happy and grudges. It's really dying now.
"Don't concubine need to learn housekeeping management?" She asked the queen in a low voice.
Never take it out of the palace. Talk to me carefully, no matter how the palace maids greet you, you will never walk half a step in the palace room. After a noon break, fold the bedding to be more square than the white jade steps in front of the palace. Zhai I will look for you After talking for a long time, I didn't even ask where your second uncle is studying now, but you have found out how many people there are in her hometown, whether they are married or not, and what they do for a living. Nothing to worry about."
Shao Shang stayed. She didn't expect that the queen looked at Qing Qing Leng and didn't care about anything, but she saw everything in her eyes.
"Concubine, I I..."
"No need to say more. It's a good thing for a little girl to have success in her heart, it's better than A-Jiao's mindless, blustering." The queen smiled lightly, "This way I can rest assured. Sheng is handed over to you."
"Wang lady she she..." Shao Shang felt that he had almost nothing to hide.
"When she is finished being punished, she still needs to go to the palace to express her gratitude. I have to save face for her mother, but you don't have to. Say what you want to say. It's a good thing to learn more."
Short quotient:…
As time goes by, Shaoshang gradually knows more about the affairs of the palace.
The queen is an iceberg beauty. She is usually unsmiling, but she is actually gentle. Occasionally, the little palace maid makes a mistake. Although she pretends to be majestic on her face, she often forgives her gently. Fu's mother, who served since childhood, was called 'Zhai Yu' in the palace.
Luo Jitong is called the Fifth Princess's companion, but he has stayed with the Queen in Changqiu Palace for many years. Live in the Princess Mansion for a long time, and be content and happy.
Although everyone in the Changqiu Palace treated them very politely, and even the five princesses in the 'expectation' never appeared to find fault, but Shaoshang still felt that his delicate life was hurt.
For more than ten years, she has been a pragmatist under the education of the new society, and later chose the direction of science and technology. From the way of thinking to the rhythm of life, she has been trained to be fast and lively, and she can do it as soon as she can. Even if I recently learned the flute, I would linger for a while in front of the courtyard with forty-five degrees, but it was only occasionally.
But she is not a newcomer now. She knows that these seemingly boring studies are necessary, but she suddenly adapts to this slow life and sits and watches the sunlight outside on the porch The shadow slowly changed shape and angle, and she was almost depressed.
Shao Shang began to understand where Ling Budo's cool and dignified air came from, and staying in such a place since childhood was indeed prone to mental illness.
"...When will we get married." Shaoshang sat on a carriage that was transparent on all sides, resting his chin on his elbows. The evening breeze was refreshing and cool, but it couldn't blow away the irritability in her heart.
Ling Budo rides quietly beside her car, looking into the car from time to time: "It's not the end of the year, it's the beginning of the year."
"Your Majesty is so worried about me marrying you." Shaoshang felt that he was slow to speak now.
Ling Budo looked at the girl's confused eyes and whispered: "The world is a furnace, all things are copper; Yin and yang are charcoal, and creation is a work..."
"I know this." Shao Shang's eyes lit up, as if he raised his hand to be answered by the teacher, "It's Jia Yi's "Pengniao Fu". This is the empress's favorite piece, Read two sentences a day." Sure enough, the torture of cutting flesh with a slow knife is not in vain, look at her, it's translated from life science.
Ling Budoubt said: "I used to feel sick in the palace when I was young, and my mother read this to me. Shaoshang, I have learned most of what you have learned. It is not that he is His Majesty's 'Eleventh Lang' as soon as he enters the palace, and he must have the ability to be admired by the world to be worthy of the reputation of His Majesty's adopted son."
Shao Shang said quietly: "...Aren't you going to say something to comfort me." She has heard the stories of Ling Budo from the maids these days.
Ling Budo looked at her tenderly: "Even if you marry Lou Yao, you have to pass this level. If you marry into Lou's family without learning anything, wouldn't you? Are you bothered? When will you get rid of the habit of escaping? Anything in the world will not be really difficult as long as you face it."
Shao Shang sighed: "Lord Ling, you are my future husband, not the master."
Ling Budo laughs: "Just a few more months, you can do whatever you want when you get to my house. There is no room full of uncles, aunts and wives waiting for you to deal with it, this is finally Stronger than Lou Jia."
Shao Shang stared blankly at the tall young man riding on the horse.
She looked around, and when she saw that she had reached the deserted alley, she reached out to pull the hem of the young man's robe, and when Ling Budo leaned over, she leaned into his ear and whispered softly Said: "Don't you want to kiss me?"
Ling Budo had a stunned expression, seeing the girl's lips were red, her cheeks were tender and delicate, when her heart moved, she was about to lean over to kiss, who knew that Shaoshang suddenly leaned into the car and sat upright Said: "I suddenly remembered the empress's teachings, women should be dignified and self-controlled, not frivolous." On the face, it was clearly written 'I am not happy and I will not make you feel better'.
Ling Budoubt saw her look naughty, smiled lightly, and did not care about her, when the carriage drove to the gate of Cheng Mansion, he took the girl out of the carriage with his own hands, and suddenly said: "I can Are you staying at your house?"
Ling Budo smiled and said, "I mean, rest at your brother's place."
"This is inappropriate." Shaoshang's expression was serious, "Even if you rest at my brother's place, you can't keep people outside from gossiping."
Ling Budo raised his eyebrows and said, "We're already engaged, so what's the harm in sleeping together."
This time, the young businessman did not blush, but instead asked in surprise: "Really, is it really okay? I don't understand very well, can unmarried couples be like this nowadays?" It is more open than her time, She was a little excited.
Shao Shang suddenly lost interest, and said lightly: "In this case, Master Ling will go back, it's getting dark."
Ling Budo saw her pretentious appearance, originally wanted to laugh, but suddenly sighed: "After all, you have been too busy in the palace these days, don't you think that Is it wrong?"
Shao Shang said nervously: "Is there anything wrong with me? I think I am very careful in the palace." She wished she could count the number of steps she walked through this terrible palace. She made a mistake! ?
Ling Budo patted her forehead sympathetically: "It doesn't matter, maybe Your Majesty will reprimand you, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."
