The straight male queen was stolen again

Hugging in the flower gallery

angry princess

Tong Rong's smile remained the same, but hearing the phrase "Niang Niang" in her heart was really a little shocking.

Well, if you are "married", don't care about the address.

Cai Shan glanced at Eunuch Tang, silently acquiescing to the suggestion.

Tong Rong thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, I'm going to trouble my father-in-law."

"Don't bother, don't bother, serving your mother is a slave's blessing!"

The doctor came quickly.

The grey-bearded court envoy Zhou Heng put down the medicine box, covered Tong Rong's wrist with a layer of thin silk, and in the eyes of His Majesty, "If you dare not speak up, you will die", tremblingly put on Tong Rong's wrist. The pulse of the new queen.

On the way here, Eunuch Tang had already hinted at the situation at the scene. Who can make a difference in the palace is not a human being. After letting go of his pulse, the court envoy Zhou stroked his beard and said carefully, "Your Majesty, this is the time." rash."

"Time rash?" Tong Rong hesitated, "I had time rash before, it would swell and itchy, it doesn't look like this."

Zhou Heng said: "Your Majesty, I don't know that the rash is a seasonal attack, and it may be different every time. I will give you a prescription. You apply it on the erythema once a day, and it will gradually disappear. "

Well, when the time comes, I will prescribe some moisturizing and beautifying cream to the empress.

Zhou Heng stroked his beard with a calm expression on his face.

Tong Rong looked at the old doctor's determined expression, and nodded hesitantly.

Chaishan, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "The envoy Zhou Yuan has excellent medical skills, and the bounty is 20 taels."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed, knowing that he had "identified the dragon's veins", and thanked him neatly.

It was getting late at this time, Tong Rong looked at the sky, passed the meal, and ate the meal with Cai Shan.

After breakfast, Tong Rong asked Ning Yue to help him change into a proper outfit, got into the sedan chair, and took people to Xifu Palace.

Xifu Palace is the palace where the concubine lives. Originally, the emperor's biological mother should be regarded as the empress dowager and live in the Palace of Compassion.

However, Chai Shan had a very bad relationship with this blood mother, so he did not confer the title of Empress Dowager, but gave her the title of Noble Concubine, and let her live in the Xifu Palace during the late emperor's time.

Originally, the queen's rank is higher than that of the noble concubine, so there is no need to come to pay her respects.However, Tong Rong took care not to fall into the shoes of others, so he rushed over as soon as the food was used up.

He had a premonition that this would not be a friendly meeting, so he took a deep breath outside the Palace of Rejoice, lifted his spirits, and stepped into the palace.

"The Empress is here!"

"Welcome to the empress."

It stands to reason that the imperial concubine should also give a half salute when she sees the queen, but the person sitting in the main seat has no intention of getting up at all, seeing Tong Rong coming in, she didn't even nod her head.

Before Tong Rong was seated, the concubine's eyebrows were already raised high, and she stabbed at her mouth: "The empress has only entered the palace for the first day, is she so tired and disrespectful?"

Tong Rong smiled when he heard the words: "Why did the concubine make such a statement?"

"It's all right to come here at this time. When you see Ben Gong, don't you even salute?"

Under Tong Rong's sharp gaze, Shi Shiran walked to the seat on the side and sat down, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is a concubine, and this... palace is a queen. According to the rank of the Great Xia Dynasty, you still need Give me half a salute."

Not waiting for the concubine to win, he laughed again: "You are an elder, so I don't care about this matter with you."

The concubine choked, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the empress had just entered the palace and didn't understand the palace rules and ranks, but who knew that the new empress was so familiar with it, she was taken aback.

But she didn't want to just let that evil new queen go, there were always some things that were not easy to refuse as an elder.

The concubine held up the teacup and covered her lips, a glint of unkindness flashed in her eyes: "The empress is quite familiar with the palace rules, it's because my palace records are wrong. Speaking of which, the emperor is already 22 this year, but there is only Meng Meng in the harem." The concubine and the two good servants of the eighth grade appointed when they were in charge of personnel affairs are a bit too lazy. Since the new empress has already entered the palace, she naturally wants to find a good girl and Xiaolang for the emperor."

She thought that these words would surely hit the new queen's displeasure, but Tong Rong nodded and echoed seriously: "The concubine's words are very true. But the selection of concubines is a major matter, and it must be decided by your majesty. The palace does not dare to be independent."

Ah.The concubine held the cup and sneered in her heart, as expected she was agreeing on the surface, but in private she was definitely very unwilling, since that's the case, I will...

"However, the concubine Meng and the two good servants mentioned by the empress just now are indeed His Majesty's old men. They have been with His Majesty the longest, so they should be promoted to the first rank. I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty later."

The concubine choked again.

Well, the new queen just entered the palace on the first day and had to give the concubine a promotion status. Isn't that too "virtuous and virtuous"?

The concubine also couldn't figure out the way of the new empress for a while, so she raised the teacup and took a few sips to conceal it.

"His Majesty is here!"

Tong Rong followed the palace man's report to the past, and was a little curious why Caishan suddenly appeared here.

But I saw His Majesty the Emperor striding into the palace, wearing a light yellow dragon embroidered robe with dark patterns, covered with a layer of water-colored tulle, a soap gauze folded upper towel on his head, golden auspicious cloud boots on his feet, and a sapphire belt cinched a thin body. Waist, although the facial features are average, but the figure is tall and straight after practicing martial arts all the year round, with a good demeanor.

Tong Rong nodded in approval in his heart, Xiao Shan tidied up, and looked quite energetic.

Cai Shan, who seemed to walk into the hall with a blank face, actually paid all his attention to Tong Rong secretly.

Sitting upright, smiling, looking unaffected.

The emperor, who hurried over after hearing that the queen came to Xifu Palace, was quietly relieved.

Looking carefully again, there was a hint of appreciation in Taohua's eyes looking at him.

Chai Shan's already broad waist was straightened even more.

It was not in vain that he spent less than half an hour picking and choosing in the side hall where he changed clothes after finishing the court food.

The emperor with the peacock spreading his tail suddenly felt better when he saw the concubine.

When the concubine faced Tong Rong, her face was not completely downcast, but when she saw Cai Shan appearing, she didn't even try to hide the disgust on her face.

She taunted maliciously: "Is the emperor becoming "filial" today?My Xifu Palace can have such a "distinguished guest" come to my door? "

Cai Shan's triangular eyes froze, and he turned sideways to face Tong Rong, not even sharing the corner of his eyes with the concubine.

"Brother Rong, shall we go back together?"

This rebellious son actually ignored his own words!

The concubine's face was flushed with anger, she patted the table and said loudly: "When the emperor is in power, he doesn't even respect his own mother! Use the position of concubine to humiliate your biological mother, and pay it off without asking, you are in vain!"

Chaishan's face remained unchanged, but Tong Rong was startled.

It's no wonder that the government and the public have accused Xiao Shan of being unfilial to his mother. Apart from not being a queen mother, I am afraid that the words of the queen mother are the best fuel for public opinion.

His beautiful eyes turned cold at the moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Princess Taifei, be careful. I know that your words are unintentional, but you might as well let someone who cares listen to them. Instead, you are soliciting truth. You and Your Majesty are "mother and child as one body", and we are both proud, Your Majesty." If there is any loss, you will also leave the palace in grief and enshrine in front of the ancient Buddha's green lamp.Why not treat me with kindness? "

This sentence is euphemistic, but the connotation is extremely heavy.I advise the concubine not to cause trouble. After all, she can live in the palace because of the emperor's own son. If the emperor falls, she will be the first unlucky one to move out to be a nun to pay homage to the late emperor.

The order is clear, every word is clear, and after some beatings, his majestic eyes swept over all the palace people in the palace.Everyone was startled, and lowered their heads in a panic and obediently, not daring to look at the new queen.

Oh my god, the new queen looked at Meimei's elder brother, how could she be more serious and scarier than the emperor! ?

Mr. Tong, who was in charge of more than 500 employees in his previous life, glanced around and turned his gaze back to the chief seat.

The concubine was flustered by what he said, and she was already afraid when she met such a solemn and majestic gaze.She never intervened in court struggles during the late emperor's time, nor did she take part in the fight for power and the like. Even if the women in the deep palace had more knowledge, she was still sitting on pins and needles at this moment.

"Ben, I'm just joking with the emperor! Who dares to spread the word, let's see if I don't tear her mouth!"

Tong Rong heard the words and nodded in satisfaction, showing a smile. In an instant, like the snow melting in the spring canal and the frost melting, everyone in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"I'm relieved when you say that, Your Majesty." The melodious voice like a clear spring said lightly, "After all, mother and child are connected, and the Empress Dowager only cares about His Majesty before she speaks unscrupulously. This Palace understands."

"Extremely extreme." The concubine grabbed the armrest and nodded her head.

"Then the palace and His Majesty will leave first, and come to visit your empress some other day."

"Slow down, slow down!"

Tong Rong nodded with a smile, took the emperor with him, and left in a stately manner.

"Huh—" Finally sent the god away, the concubine patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

The first-class court lady Miao Er replaced the concubine with a new cup of tea with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, this empress is so serious and terrifying! She looks like a dignified minister."

The concubine picked up the teacup and took a sip to suppress her shock: "Yes... Where did the emperor invite this big Buddha back from!?"

……

Chaishan followed Tong Rong through the imperial garden, both of them walked back slowly without taking a sedan chair.

Walking to a flower-wearing corridor, Tong Rong stopped.

The morning sun in early spring is dazzling but not glaring, and the pink and white magnolia flowers outside the corridor block some of the light, making the corridor seem secluded and quiet, a good place for conversation.

Cai Shan was thinking about something on his mind, when suddenly the person in front stopped and bumped into him.

"careful!"

As soon as he bumped into someone, Chai Shan immediately came back to his senses, before his head reacted, his hand subconsciously stretched out to catch Tong Rong, stabilizing his crooked figure.

When I took a closer look, the two of them were already in an extremely ambiguous embrace.

Tong Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with the two men helping each other, what he cared about was the obvious trance state of Chaishan along the way just now.

"Xiaoshan, are you in a bad mood?" Tong Rong thought for a while, and then asked with concern.

Chaishan was not sad because of his mother and concubine's bad words, this kind of sarcasm and cold face have long been common to him, and he has learned to numb himself not to think about the maliciousness in it, and not to care about her thoughts and opinions.When it is air, it will not be injured again.

The reason why she was in a daze along the way was because of what Tong Rong said just now to defend herself in Xifu Palace.

Brother Rong is such a special existence.

Although he is a brother, his bearing surpasses ninety-nine percent of men in the world. He is calm and decisive, solemn and graceful, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.For what you believe in, you will do it no matter how difficult it is, and for the truth you believe in, you will maintain it no matter how hard it is.

It's like running Xiangyuexuan, like not getting married at the age of 24, like...

Just like back then in the Tong Mansion, accepting herself without any grievances.

At this time, hearing Tong Rong's concern, Cai Shan, who was in his arms, turned his head, swallowed the answer of "nothing", lowered his eyes, pretended to cheer himself up, and forced a smile: "It's okay ……I'm used to it."

Tong Rong looked at Chaishan who was looking down at the ground, like a lonely little wolf bitten by a vicious dog, licking the wound pitifully, bursts of sympathy burst into his heart instantly.

Why the concubine didn't like the emperor in the palace is a secret, Tong Rong once asked, but Cai Shan refused to say, so he didn't force others to make things difficult.

However, as a child, it is too pitiful to be so hated and hated by his mother.

Tong Rong hugged Chaishan with his backhand, and patted him on the back comfortingly.

Chai Shan was shocked all over, and immediately hugged the person in his arms tighter, and buried his whole face in Tong Rong's shoulder.

Tong Rong felt that the tall young emperor under his palm seemed to be trembling slightly, he couldn't help taking a breath, Xu Shi was sniffling his nose to hold back his tears, and couldn't help but feel softer in his heart, as if he was holding a big wronged dog in his arms. Gently caressing his vest.

This hug lasted for a quarter of an hour, and Cai Shan had been nestled in Tong Rong's shoulder, feeling that time was passing by so fast, his big hands were quietly sliding on the willow branch's slender waist, clinging, like a magnet, and couldn't stop at all.

But fortunately, the emperor knew that enough is enough, there will be more in the future, and there will be no next time. Finally, before Tong Rong noticed something was wrong, he reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.

"Thank you Brother Rong, the mountain is much better."

It was only then that Tong Rong realized that he was being led by Chai Shan to sit on a stool in the corridor. The whole person was huddled in his arms, and against the background of the magnolia flowers in early spring, the action of this scene, no matter how you looked at it, seemed to be kissing in the corner of the garden. Kiss me my little sweetheart.

His face was full of embarrassment, maybe it was because of getting married anyway, and he felt a little uncomfortable with this scene.

"Well... it's fine if you feel better, let's go back."

As he said that, he took a big step, turned the corner of his red clothes, and walked towards the end of the long corridor with his sleeves full of spring breeze.

Behind him, Chaishan stared at his back walking under the sea of ​​flowers, with a big smile on his lips, and followed closely.

Such a gentle, handsome, and extraordinary person, how can people not feel admiration?

You are a dream with warm wind blowing the sky, and you can make everything come alive at a glance.

……

Back at Jiaofang Palace, Tong Rong and Chai Shan mentioned the matter of giving promotions to several concubines.

"After all, you are an old man who has been with you for many years, so it is appropriate to mention your status."

After hearing the words, Chaishan hurriedly argued: "They were all the people that my father pointed out according to the rules at that time. It is not my wish to marry them, and I don't like any of them!"

Tong Rong looked up and down Chaishan suspiciously.

Why did Xiao Shan rush to explain this to himself?

He thought about it, indeed, before entering the palace, he had heard that His Majesty seldom visited the harem.

Could it be... no?

However, as a "professional manager", it is better not to pay attention to the boss's private affairs.

Tong Rong touched on this topic, and only talked about the status of the promotion: "No matter how unfavorable these concubines are to you, after all, they came from Qiandi, and they should be promoted."

Rewards and punishments are clear, the company, no, the harem can run smoothly.

Cai Shan frowned, seemingly reluctant, but after hearing Tong Rong's words, he still said: "Brother Rong is the master, and you will be the master of the entire harem from now on."

Tong Rong nodded, feeling very satisfied.

It seems that I have met a good boss who knows how to delegate power and can listen to persuasion.

Not bad!

The two discussed the matter of promoting the concubine, a palace man came in and preached: "Your Majesty, the commander of the palace, Wei Young, is asking Liu Shang to see you."

The imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty was respected by maids and servants, and supplemented by eunuchs. It was divided into six Shang and 24 divisions to manage the palace affairs of various places.Among them, the Shang Palace Order of the fourth grade is superior to the Six Shang, and is similar to the existence of a butler in the entire palace.

Tong Rong was also about to look for this Palace Commander, so he nodded and said, "Xuan come in."

"Slave and Maid Commander Weiyang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Empress."

The six monks who followed also knelt down and saluted one by one.

Sigong Ling Weiyang looked at about thirty, with a serious face, and strictly followed etiquette in every move: "This time, the maidservant is here to hand over the palace affairs."

During the time of the first emperor, the internal affairs were entrusted to the concubine Xian who was already serving in the nunnery. Chai Shan had only been enthroned for a short time, so she was temporarily given a palace order to take care of the internal affairs for the time being.

Now that the queen has entered the palace, of course the palace power must be returned to the queen.

Wei Young introduced in detail the scope of the six divisions behind him, the distribution of monthly money and other matters. Tong Rong occasionally asked any questions, but he answered them in detail.

Tong Rong nodded appreciatively: "You did a good job."

Manage a family, manage a company, manage a harem... Although the size and scale are different, the rules and regulations and the efficiency of execution are the two most important.

Throughout the dynasties, there was no lack of harem management that was loose, and there were even cases where eunuchs and maids stole and defecated openly outside the palace.

The entire harem, including the master, maids, palace servants, eunuchs, and guards, totaled more than [-] people. It was not an easy task to manage well.

Tong Rong took a deep breath, and there was a smile of excitement on his face when he encountered a challenge.

"Give me the records of monthly money distribution, expenditures of each palace, routine rewards for the New Year, loss, use, and internal treasury entry and exit details. , starting this afternoon, accompany me around the palace first."

"Yes!"

Throughout the afternoon, the new empress left the emperor behind and began to patrol the harem with people. Her decisive style of handling things and her pragmatic and capable working methods made the eyes of the palace people behind her shine.Even Wei Young, the staid palace commander, looked at Tong Rong more and more eagerly, and evolved into a fan girl and assistant in place.

Tong Rong didn't return to the Jiaofang Hall until dinner.

But I didn't expect that Chaishan was still here.

Tong Rong changed into light and clean clothes and came out, washing his hands to prepare for dinner.

"Your Majesty is also staying in Jiaofang Hall today?"

It stands to reason that, except for the first day of the wedding, the emperor does not have to force himself to live in the queen's bedroom.

Chaishan's cheeks were slightly red, and the word "Su" reminded him of some beautiful spring scenery last night...

This slightly shy look made Tong Rong suddenly remember the "no way". It turned out that in addition to managing housework, he also had to help the boss block outside gossip.

He nodded and thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions.

After a busy day, after eating and resting for a while, it was time for Tong Rong to go to bed.

He immediately met Zhou Gong after he touched the pillow, but Chai Shan was lying stiffly on the other side of the bed, his eyes were fixed on the bed curtain, and he did not dare to move.

If the eyes don't look, the other senses become extraordinarily clear.

The warm heat is at your fingertips, and the intoxicating heat that can melt people seduces Shibashan to touch it.The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus bath beans drifts into the nostrils, and Chaishan has to use all his self-control to control himself so that he can't resist kissing Fangze.

The memory began to disobediently replay the white skin of last night, and the snow skin with red plums will add new marks with a little force, it is soft and smooth, and it is hard to put it down——

stop! !

Toffee: I will be back! !
