Chapter 655
A class and a circle, each has its own joys, each has its own difficulties, and they are not connected, but they all lead to the same goal.

The bustling movement in the distance was getting louder and louder, and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, with joy on his face, no matter what, it was gratifying that the people were doing well.

The capital city, the most benevolent place under the emperor's feet, if the people here are not living well, then there is no need to have any expectations in other places. With such a large number of people traveling, it can be seen that at least food and clothing are available.

The granary knows the etiquette, the food and clothing is sufficient, and the honor and disgrace are known, and the six relatives are solidified by the obedience.

At this moment, a few children's exclamations sounded. It turned out that the juggling here had also started, and they were all specially invited by the inner government. Naturally, the ability is the most outstanding, but because there are many nobles, such as swallowing iron balls. If it is slightly dirty, it cannot be performed.

But for the little princes and princesses who grew up in the palace, it was already extraordinarily fresh and lively, which is why Zhu Biao wanted to take them out of the city. If they were only holding banquets in the palace, there would be no such things.

The sons and daughters who often go out are not interested in these. Although it is exciting, they usually watch it whenever they want, so it is not very attractive. The main thing is that the children and the girls and wives of the inner house are more interested, and they play and watch together.

Since most of the performers are men, the accompanying maids and women are all extra precautions, lest the ladies who don't go out of their own homes make mistakes on errands. After all, they have seen several men who are really handsome.

In fact, they are too worried. They have been beaten by the inner government thousands of times before they can perform here. They only perform their unique skills with all their heart. They know that it is a crime to dare to look at them. Qing Yan gave it a good time.

What's more, the daughter of a real official family can't be really stupid. She has been obsessed with intrigues in the mansion since she was a child, wives and concubines fight for favor, slaves fight among themselves, sisters-in-law fight each other, and brothers fight against each other. If she is sensible, her mother will teach her to take care of the family. Dao, how could it be possible for a man to abandon his family and relatives.

Poor talented scholars, official officials and beautiful ladies elope when they fall in love, but they are all from opera books. There may be real occurrences, but they are extremely rare. Most of the rumors in the market are compiled by villains.

Since ancient times, "Book of Rites" has a saying: The hired one is a wife, and the one who runs away is a concubine, and the parents and the people of the country are all despised.

If the children of aristocratic families elope, they will be subjected to severe punishments such as riding a wooden donkey, beating their buttocks, pinching their fingers, and soaking in a pig cage. beat him to death with a stick...

Zhu Biao didn't like to be too noisy, so he led Li Yan to a quieter place, and suddenly looked at Li Yan, who was beside him with a smile and beautiful eyes, Zhu Biao felt a little guilty, even though the Li family must have It is to send out a girl to serve in the East Palace, but it does not necessarily have to be Li Yan, the first daughter.

Just as Zhu Biao would not take Xu Yihua as a concubine, it would be unkind to take someone else's prostitute's daughter as a concubine, especially if someone is the pillar of the country's founding meritorious service.

Beside Chang Luohua, a woman combing her temples whispered, "Even if you don't go by yourself, you can let that Mrs. Chen go, Li Yan is not easy to get along with, and she will never miss you. "

Chang Luohua's eyes also surrendered to the backs of the two people, feeling a little sour in his heart, this is her husband, the father of her child, if possible, how could she give it up to other women, but this kind of little woman's thoughts quickly fade away Overwhelmed by her reason.

Li Yan can't be suppressed, she comes from a noble background, but she is willing to enter the palace as a concubine, the prince will always feel guilty if she doesn't say anything, if she still suppresses Li Yan, the more it will stimulate the prince's pity and cherish the jade, on the contrary Lost his wife and lost his army.

It's just right now, it's nothing more than giving some honor and decent compensation, she can't surpass her as a princess, and when the prince has made up for the debt in his heart, Li Yan will not be special.

So he withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "I don't need her to read well, as long as she can make His Highness feel at ease."

"The crown princess is magnanimous, and the concubines feel ashamed."

"His Royal Highness is also blessed to have a crown princess like you."

"What do you know? The peony in front of the court is unqualified, and the flower on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful. When the flowers bloom, the capital moves. It is just a plaything in the concubine's room. The real Zhu family's wife is still our princess after all."

...............

Li Yan is arrogant, but that's what she said. The path Zhu Biao chose was a bit steep, and Li Yan couldn't keep up after walking for a while. Zhu Biao cheerfully stretched out his hand to help her move forward.

"Accounting the days, summer will be the mother's Qianqiu Festival. At that time, the grand master and his wife will definitely come to Beijing for a banquet. Please stay in Beijing for a while, so you can see them more often."

Not long after Li Yan entered the palace, Li Shanchang resigned from office and returned to his hometown to take care of him. His family was separated for a long time. No big deal was done, and Li Shanchang never had a chance to return to Beijing.

"Great, can the concubine go back to her mother's house to stay with her for one night?"

According to the rules of etiquette, it is naturally impossible for the concubines in the palace to stay overnight, even the crown princess has only one chance to return home in a serious way, let alone Li Yan, a good concubine.

Li Yan is not very old, although she is with the person she likes, she will always miss her after leaving her parents. At this time, she doesn't care about other things, she grabs Zhu Biao's sleeve and starts acting coquettishly.

"I beg you, my concubine really misses my mother. There are many people coming and going during the Qianqiu Festival, so I don't want to talk too much when I see you. I beg... at worst, my concubine tonight..."

Following behind, Liu Jin and the others bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, wishing they could droop their ears, but it was a pity that they really didn't have the ability, and Zhu Biao had already agreed in his heart.

After all, it's just a matter in his palace, and at most it will be persuaded by a few tough censors. Old Zhu respects rules, but he probably won't say anything. Li Shan is very knowledgeable, and the officials have known each other for many years. If you are consumed, you will not make things difficult for the younger generation.

In the past few years, it has been difficult for Li Shan. He took five or six concubines and more than a dozen concubines at a young age. He heard that he had to rely on medicinal food to recuperate his spirit every day.

Last year on Li Shan’s longevity birthday, not many of his disciples and old officials went to pay their respects in person, which shows that it has achieved extraordinary results. Although everyone knows what’s going on in their hearts, they do what they do, and they won’t change just because of your difficulties. the nature of the matter.

Li Yan wanted to go back to Changsha Palace to stay overnight, probably because she was afraid that her mother would be wronged, and she deliberately wanted to show the prince's favor to her, so that those women would not dare to provoke her mother.

Zhu Biao pretended to be a naive beauty who was ugly enough, so he let go and said: "Okay, just this time is not an example, and you are not allowed to make public after returning to the palace, do you understand?"

Li Yan rushed forward and rubbed her pretty face, there seemed to be thousands of stars blooming in her eyes, Liu Jin behind her made a note in her heart, and she will have to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some nourishing medicinal prescriptions, His Royal Highness is afraid these few nights It's going to be extra hard work.

The eunuchs behind Liu Jin also reminded themselves that they must never neglect Li Liangdi in the future, look at this kindness, Li Liangdi is not far from being pregnant with a son and grandson, with kindness and heirs, this is the most noble person in the palace.

It is human instinct to bully the weak and be afraid of the strong, stepping on the lows to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, especially in this palace. As servants, eunuchs, eunuchs, and emperor's servants, it doesn't matter how prominent the concubines' natal families are in the palace. It's impossible anyway. How about them.

But the grace of the Holy Majesty and His Royal Highness is different. Concubines with grace are also their masters. If they are lost or not, although they dare not be humiliated, they should wait no matter what. The efficiency of doing things according to the rules is not high. .

Just like Wang Liangdi in the palace, if she hadn't been lucky enough to have the emperor's heir and the grace of the crown princess, she might not be able to worship the Buddha in such a comfortable way. The whole day's charcoal consumption is quite a lot, who would be so gracious to carry it for her? come and go.
