female concubine

"The results of the palace examination have come out. Xiao Yanei won the first place in the palace examination, and it was His Majesty who personally selected the champion of martial arts on the spot!"

The people who heard the news were not surprised, but as expected, waved away the crowd, turned around and smiled slightly at the woman, "You are worthy of being the grandson of Lord Longde, and also worthy of being my brother-in-law!"

Xiao Youqing sat on the couch, "Didn't you say not to show your sharpness too much, how can you still laugh?"

The king of Chu approached, still smiling slightly, "It is true that the moon is full and the loss is bad, but now the dark clouds have not cleared, so it is not yet a full moon!"

"Does the dark cloud covering the full moon refer to the other two forces?"

King Chu nodded, "Military and political power is the greatest power in the country. After all, the number of troops outside Chen Bingguan is limited by one person, and there are so many standing troops near the capital, so they cannot threaten the central government."

The King of Chu lowered his head and watched, calling out, "Sister."

"Ok?"

"With His Majesty's suspicions, he should place hidden stakes of the Imperial City Division around the leading generals."

"So what does Rokuro want to do?"

"I want to solve a shocking event before the Cold Food Festival. If it is done, the seven-day rest with the Cold Food Festival will more or less suppress the public opinion after the meal."

"Is that what you told me a few days ago?"

The king of Chu nodded, "So I have to trouble my sister to find my second uncle and Mount Tai. Your Majesty is very suspicious, so it is enough for my second uncle to tell what he saw."

"Then, the father who is looking for a concubine?"

"The Dali Temple is handling the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is enforcing the law, wait!" After she said that, she leaned in front of Xiao Youqing, stretched out her hand, and made a gesture to pull her up, "But now, Chen'er Zhou Sui, so my sister and I will go to the son-in-law's mansion. "

"Zhou Kui, why haven't I heard the news?"

"Sister and brother-in-law have always been people who don't like to make public. Even the birth of Chen'er only informed His Majesty and mother, and even my uncle didn't know about it. This time Zhou Kui didn't hold a banquet, but Since my uncle in name is back, he must not be absent!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier, you didn't prepare for the ceremony, so why don't you just go empty-handed like this? Although there is nothing missing for young girls in the consort's mansion, as an uncle, you must show some kindness."

"Yes, yes, the lady taught you very well."

--------

As soon as a group of eunuchs from the Imperial Palace left at the gate of Prince Consort's Mansion, the carriages from Prince Chu's Mansion followed.

A child who has just turned one year old is crawling on the short square table in the middle hall. On the table is a plate, "in it are fruit trees, paper and pens, scriptures, needles and threads."

The adults on the side squatted at the side of the table to guide the observation.

The King of Chu looked at the things on the plate, and seemed to be missing something, "When I was in Sichuan, they would still put official orders and swords on the plate, why not here?"

Princess Kang Ning laughed at her and said, "You said that Liu Lang is smart. Chen'er is a sister, not a brother. Why arrest that official?"

"Who says girls can't be officials!" He ordered someone to put the official letter in.

I saw the baby wrapped up like a rice dumpling crawling towards the plate with big round eyes staring at it. First it grabbed the rabbit hair pen made of jade rod, and then grabbed the imitation miniature version of the official letter.

Surprised the onlookers, but the King of Chu smiled with satisfaction and said, "This child will definitely have a bright future!"

Looking up at the four sons-in-law at the side, Ma Junsi commanded, "Brother-in-law, choose a gentleman to teach her to read in the future."

The four sons-in-law nodded accordingly.

It wasn't until after dinner that the King of Chu and his concubine left the consort's mansion. During the period, the subordinates of the guards and army Ma Junsi came to give gifts and congratulations, but they didn't stop.

Xiao Youqing lowered his head, looked at the person lying on his lap, and asked: "Just now, you and the son-in-law... you came to the son-in-law's mansion on the basis of Chen'er's Zhou? The real purpose is to be the handsome son-in-law, right?"

The king of Chu nodded, remembering the test during the day, so he asked Xiao Youqing, "Sister, you said that in the future, how about setting up a women's department? Let women be officials!"

Xiao Youqing disagreed, and did not refute. The disapproval was because of the current situation, and the reason for not refuting was that they were all women. It has been withdrawn, and besides, the mainstay of the court is all conservatives, if you set up a women's department, you will offend the entire court!"

"It's never happened before, because the pinnacle of power is always a man, but I'm different. If you don't try it, how will you know if it's possible or not?"

"If you want to do it, just do it. No matter what the result is, my concubine will always be by Liu Lang's side."

King Chu was lying flat, looking straight at her, and suddenly said with a smile: "The women's department will have to wait until the future, and now Liu Lang wants to do the immediate thing."

Xiao Youqing lowered his head for a while, then blushed immediately.

The King of Chu got up and covered her ears, swaying the incense ball around his waist, and said softly: "The most charming thing is not the smell of wine, but the smell of my sister!"

Seeing that his fair ears were slightly red, as if he was being teased, the King of Chu still refused to give up, continued to bite gently, and whispered: "I have to work hard for the rest of my life, so that you can enjoy yourself today."

"So, who wouldn't be greedy!"

The verses regarded as obscenity by later generations and her frivolous words made those who understood them more shy, and couldn't stand the ear-to-eye contact, and gradually weakened their bodies.

"Teacher!" Xiao Youqing felt ashamed and waved his hand, trying to push her away, but unexpectedly it fell into her palm.

The King of Chu gently held her wrist against the side of the car, and immediately slid his five fingers into her five fingers and held it tightly. When the ten fingers were interlocked, he heard a coquettish voice, and then the skirt was pulled up, " I didn't expect this fragrance to be so strong, and it took less than half a moment, if it is combined with the medicine that my sister gave last time, the effect will be even better!"

In Shen's Mansion in Xijiaofang in the new city, the bodyguard Ma Jun Du Yuhou had just returned home and unloaded his heavy armor.

"Why did Ah Lang come back so late today?"

"The girl from Ma Shuai's family, Zhou Yu, took his place for half a day. Those women in the backyard didn't make a fuss, did they?"

Si'er shook his head, "Today is pretty peaceful, there is no quarrel, we are all looking forward to Ah Lang going."

"They're all lowbrows. I paid a lot of money to buy them, but they still want to escape!"

"After so many years, I can't even lay an egg. What's the use of keeping a hen that can't lay eggs? Throw those old and decrepit ones back to the countryside, so as not to spend my money and hinder me eyes." After saying that, the man who took off his armor put on a coat, stretched his chest and twisted his thick waist, and walked out of the room.

"Yes!" Si'er followed closely, "Aren't you taking a bath, Ah Lang?"

"I'm interested, what a fart!"

The fellow stopped following, waited until Shen Tu had completely entered a small courtyard, heaved a long sigh of relief, then shook his head and said: "House matters, it's better to be restrained, if there are too many, it will hurt your health!"

Less than a moment after Shen Tu entered, there was the sound of beating and scolding from tables being thrown in the courtyard.

Si'er squatted at the entrance of the courtyard, propped his head on his hands, looked at the two figures in the room, and shook his head as usual, "Si'er lifted up Jiao Wuli, and it's the time of Xincheng Enze."

"I came to see you with good intentions, but you put a stern face on me to spoil my interest!" Thick hands pinched a petite and delicate face.

The woman's eyes were still lifeless, as lifeless as a corpse, and he became angry with embarrassment. He widened his eyes and threw her to the ground. When he fell down, he hit the table leg, overturned the tea table, and the candle Then it collapsed.

Fortunately, the candle went out as soon as it hit the ground, but the wax oil dripped onto the woman, and he coldly passed it over, "Why don't you burn to death, it's really bad luck!"

Si'er was thinking of lying in the courtyard for a while, but he didn't expect Shen Tu to come out in less than half an hour, Si'er woke up startled, and murmured: "It shouldn't be..."

"Alang, where are you?"

"Scrap, don't give her food for a few days!"

"Oh!"

Si'er took a look at the room which was darker than before, and sighed: "Just having a face, you can't accept. Huan, it doesn't seem to work either!"

In the early morning of the next day, near the Jinming Pond next to Wansheng Gate, the imperial guards of the horse and infantry armies were practicing.

"Yesterday, I would like to thank Shen Duyu for standing on duty for me." After finishing speaking, the son-in-law ordered someone to offer a cup of tea, and took some snacks from the banquet, "This was rewarded by His Majesty yesterday, Du Yuhou has a taste."

The food given by the emperor is naturally from Shangshi Bureau, and only the prince and Zaifu can get it on weekdays and festivals, so Shentu rubbed his hands greedily, "It is an honor for me to work for Ma Shuai, since Ma Shuai said so , then the officer will not be polite."

Shen Tu took a sip and praised again and again: "Sure enough, the food of this big nephew is delicious, but this official is honored by Ma Shuai."

The son-in-law smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Du Yuhou eat slowly, I don't have any."

At dusk, before the city gates were closed, the drilled cavalry returned to the camp, and the generals also entered the city and returned home.

On the way back to the city, the two leaders of Ma Junsi talked about fighting.

"Although I am focusing on infantry, if I want to fight Beidi, I should still focus on cavalry. Armor is against armor. Infantry armor is not weaker than the Iron Buddha, but the Khitans are fierce and cunning, and they come and go like the wind. The Iron Buddha is hard. Hanhan can wear it, unless there is a weapon that can run faster than them, otherwise you can only fight cavalry against cavalry!"

The son-in-law knew about the style of his subordinates. Although Shen Tu had a bad family style, he was extremely talented in military affairs, and he was an extremely rare general. That's why Shen Yi'an valued him so much.

As soon as he jumped off the horse at the door of the house, his stomach vibrated violently, and suddenly it seemed to be torn open, causing Shen Tu to fall to the ground and roll in pain.

"What's wrong, Aaron?"

"It hurts, it hurts, is Dr. Zhang at home, hurry up, please, it hurts me to death!"

"The Cold Food Festival is coming soon. Doctor Zhang has gone back to the countryside to pay respects to the grave. It will take a long time to come back!"

"It hurts me to death, it hurts!"

"Alang is in severe pain, do you want to find another doctor?"

The other doctor, Shen Tu, didn't believe it, so he thought of something, "The gate of the old city has not yet been closed, and Imperial Physician Yang is an imperial doctor, and he will never go back to the countryside. Hurry up, prepare the car, prepare the car, it will hurt me to death!"

"Yes!"

So before the gate of the city was closed, the carriage of Shen's house entered the old city all the way north, and ran towards the residence of the Imperial Medical Officer's family.

An hour later, the sweaty man finally took a breath of relief.

"Don't worry, Du Yuhou, Du Yuhou is eating..." Yang Shu said suddenly, and then continued with a smile: "Du Yuhou must have eaten the food for the night, and he ate it carelessly, without chewing carefully. If it causes gastrointestinal discomfort, drink a dose of decoction and the disease will be cured.”

"Can food that stays overnight cause such severe pain?" Shen Tu didn't understand medical theory, but Yang Shu was the imperial physician in the palace and a holy doctor, so he didn't question it, and thought to himself: "So, today I I ate the pastry given by Ma Shuai, the pastry was given by the government, Princess Kang Ning's clan's concubine, Zhou, did spend the night yesterday."

"Ma Shuai is kind enough to come here, but he doesn't know that some food can't be kept overnight."

Shen Tu sighed, "It's true if you want to, but it's a pity to lose such a delicious thing, besides, no one dares to lose the imperial gift!"

"It's just that an inch-deep knife didn't turn pale like this before, but today it's really... shameful and embarrassing!"

Yang Shu smiled and handed a list to the female envoy, "Catch this medicine, and order someone to deliver it after it is fried."

"Yes."

Then he laughed again: "Pain in the spleen and stomach is an internal injury, and internal injury is the most difficult to treat. It cannot be compared with physical trauma."

"Today, I want to thank Doctor Yang and Doctor Yang, otherwise I would still be rolling on the ground in pain!"

Yang Shu looked at the gloomy sky outside, "The gate of the old city has been closed, and the key will not be released until the fourth watch of tomorrow. If Marquis Du Yu doesn't mind it, then stay in the humble house."

"Exactly. I was afraid that it would hurt again in the middle of the night, and the doctor I trusted also went back to the countryside. Thanks to the medical officer for not abandoning me, a vulgar person, I stayed here all night."
