Seeking for blessings

It was late spring, with the evening breeze blowing, and the night was very comfortable. Qin Dewei sent Ding Zhiyu away and returned to Tao Xiuxuan.

This surprised Tao Xiangu again and couldn't help but say: "I thought Huang He would never return."

Qin Dewei said proudly: "Walking in this central hall depends on the word "trust"! You will do what you say and do what you say. If you do what you say, you will never break the promise!"

Tao Xiuxuan said: "Rumor to the fact that the Qin scholar said that extermination of the family means that the family is extermination, and that the family is confiscated, and that the exile is exiled to eight thousand miles, wouldn't it be six thousand miles?"

Mr. Qin frowned: "How come you, a fairy like you, believe in such absurd and unreasonable rumors?"

Tao Xiuxuan sighed: "Good and evil in the world are very shallow things, but you are obsessed with it."

As the two were talking, suddenly the noise outside was noisy, breaking the tranquility in the yard.

The courtyard where Tao Xiuxuan is located next to the Qin Family Ancestral Hall. It was always a deserted place and rarely heard such noises.

She looked through the window and saw Mr. Qin's concubines, from the old lovers in Nanjing to the beauties in the north, and the twins, each with his maids, and walked in with his chatter and laughter.

Just now, Mr. Qin sent a message, and the women from all over the house gathered here.

There was also a temporary table in the courtyard, with tea and food placed on it, and laughter filled this place of cultivation for a while.

Even Xu Miaoxuan, the main housekeeper who had a big belly and had a few days before the delivery day, came to join in the fun after hearing this. Mr. Qin hurriedly helped him in himself.

Later, Qin Dewei stood on the platform and said a few words first: "Today, Fairy Tao is going to open an altar to preach and explain the true meaning of life. Master, I think it is better to have fun than to have fun alone, so I ask the whole family to listen to the wonderful Dharma together!"

Standing behind the window, Tao Xiangu looked at all this, her face twitched and her sermons were as if she was a storyteller in the teahouse!

He couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to Qin Dewei through the window: "You untrustworthy person!"

Qin Dewei turned around and explained, "I'm here to listen, isn't it considered breaking the appointment?"

Tao Xiangu asked again: "What does ya mean?"

Qin Dewei sighed and said, "I just want the fairy to see with my own eyes that the responsibility of such a big family is on my shoulders, let alone the heavy burden of state affairs. What a luxury it is to take up my time to preach every night."

Tao Xiangu gritted her teeth and said, "You probably thought I couldn't hold my face down, so I talked about the dual cultivation of men and women in front of everyone?"

Qin Dewei chuckled a few times: "This is all your imagination."

Fairy Tao sneered and said, "Since you and other women are here, I will only talk about how to nourish yin. In the future, you will be more blessed. The whole family is waiting for you!"

Qin Dewei: "."

The Qin Mansion will not mention the lively evening, but it is said that after Teacher Ding left the Qin Mansion, he went directly to Fang Guozhang's mansion.

No one paid attention to Teaching Yuu on the way. A disgraceful green robe had a face, which was really inconspicuous. This was also the reason why Fang Guozhang asked Teaching Yuu to pass the message.

Fang Guohou Fang Rui and his son Fang Chengyu were sitting at home waiting. After seeing Teacher Ding come back from Qin's mansion, they quickly asked about the situation.

Teacher Ding sighed, shook his head and said, "Then Qin Zhongtang only said one sentence, and Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors."

The father and son of the Fang family looked at each other and found that they had both studied and could hear it completely. This was a bit of a polite rejection.

Teacher Ding stood up and bowed to the father and son of the Fang family and said, "I am ashamed of my trust and can't speak out. Then Qin Zhongtang promised his position in the next border city. It's really hard to say anything."

The headmaster Fang quickly helped Teacher Ding up and sighed, "Are we father and son greedy for wealth? It's just that my daughter sent a message from the palace and we must try it. If we don't succeed, we can just reply to the palace tomorrow morning."

Teaching Zhiyu said, "In my opinion, only father and son in the court are truly indifferent people."

Fang Guozhang replied: "My family is a small family in Nanjing. They are in the society to educate children. They are fortunate to receive the kindness of heaven. Now they are rich and honored. No matter how much they are, they are just looking forward to the future.

When my daughter asked me to seek title, I was still afraid that my daughter would be isolated and helpless in the palace. If she could be titled as a relative of the outside world, it would be considered to be a little support for her daughter."

Speaking of this, the sorrow on Fang Guozhang's face was lingering, "The place in the palace is really hard to describe. As a father, I am not capable of being afraid of my daughter all day long.

Now the palace is surging undercurrents, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be the result of the ban on the cold palace. It is really worse than death than death, and it is better to be the people in the market.

As the emperor of Empress Dowager Zhang, after losing power a few years ago, he ate leftovers in the palace and used pottery straw mats, which was terrible."

Teaching Ding is a small and indifferent person, at the bottom of the bureaucratic system, and he can't speak for what is happening in the palace, so he can only sigh with Fang Guozhang.

After knowing each other for many years, he also knew that Fang Guozhang was not deliberately trying to be miserable, but was expressing his true feelings and told the truth.

How many women can live in the palace with "happiness"? For women in the palace, the palace is just a super-large cage.

What's more, the situation in the palace has been complicated recently. I am afraid that a difference in thought can lead to the consequences in heaven and earth. How can I not worry the old man?

Fang Chengyu, the son of Fang Guozhang, also sighed and said, "Then Qin Zhongtang is also a fellow villager who doesn't talk about the affection. My sister is really pitiful in the palace and there is not even a minister who supports it in an open manner."

Fang Guozhang said a fair word: "I can't blame Qin Dewei. How can those who are in high positions have emotional people?

If it weren’t for such inhumaneness, how could they sit firmly in the temple?”

Fang Chengyu retorted: "Father, you are wrong. They are not unkind. In the final analysis, our Fang family is not capable, otherwise why worry about having no favor?"

Fang Guozhang scolded his son and said, "You are right, but they are all useless nonsense!"

Teaching Yuu Ding said with a different feeling: "Only those who are as affectionate and humane as father and son in the country can make us a little official feel close to each other."

When he was talking to Qin Dewei just now, he felt that he was facing a precision machine, and he was constantly scanning his machine.

Fang Chengyu said a little recklessly: "If I had known this, I would have promised my sister Qin Dewei!"

Just think about it with your toes, you will know that being a Mrs. Qin is much higher than being the queen of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Teacher Ding stood up and smiled bitterly, "I can't listen to these words, why don't you say goodbye first?"

Fang Guozhang sighed first before shouting to his son: "Be careful!"

But looking back, Qin Dewei's uncle was a yamen runner and his mother was a maid. He couldn't study by himself. In the future, he would probably inherit his uncle's yamen runner or sell himself to the wealthy family's life.

This family is not within the scope of normal family considerations. Only fools would marry their beautiful daughter to Qin Dewei, who had nothing but unrequited love!

Later, before he could choose a good family for his daughter, the court suddenly issued an edict to select the show, and the daughter was elected and named her concubine.

At that time, Qin Dewei had been cleaned up and went out of the social school. He originally thought that from then on, he would have separated from each other. Who would have thought that there would be another intersection?

Teacher Ding comforted him: "No matter what, he is the queen, and his situation is not much different."

But everyone also knew in their hearts that the identity of a queen in the palace was actually a placebo, which was not a guarantee at all.

Not to mention the distance, Empress Fang is the third queen of Emperor Jiajing. So what will happen to the first two queens? Empress Dowager Zhang was also known as the happiest queen of the Ming Dynasty at that time. What was the situation in the past few years?

And there is also a huge hidden worry. Empress Fang is not the crown prince's biological mother, and the empress dowager's biological mother, Concubine Wang, is still alive.

Fang Guozhang murmured to himself: "It's still my family is not capable, can you really beg for more blessings?"

The words "seek for self-blessing" came into the ears of Queen Fang in the morning the next day.

Today, the first court meeting of the Prince's Regent is in full swing. The Wenhua Hall in the eastern part of the palace is preparing for the whole world.

In addition to court officials, there were 600 Han generals standing in squads, and more than 300 musicians played music. Although it was halved from the emperor's ceremony, the number of people was still not large.

Not to mention that the scene is useless, it is still quite inspiring and has a feeling of renewed atmosphere. After all, Emperor Jiajing has not been to court for two or three years, and many ministers secretly have expectations of refreshing politics.

The eunuchs with great prominence are also waiting here. Although eunuchs don’t need to go to court, whether they come or not is a matter of attitude.

In comparison, the West Garden, located to the west of the palace, is much deserted.

In the past two or three years, the situation has been the opposite. The West Garden has been lively and the East has been deserted.

After Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, Wenhua Palace was basically useless. How can it not be deserted?

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Zhongtang had always been strong and guarding Wenyuan Pavilion, which was also in the eastern part of the palace, the eastern part of the palace would have long since withdrew from the political stage.

It was dawn, and Empress Fang stood in Wanchun Palace in the bedroom, looking at Emperor Jiajing who was still unconscious, and fell into deep thought.

Her greatest identity is the emperor's palace, and all glory comes from this, but the emperor has no idea of ​​the human affairs.

After that, he walked out of Wanchun Palace and came to the main hall of Renshou Palace to burn incense and pray.

After the prayer was finished, she stood under the eaves in front of the hall, and Queen Fang looked around and said sarcastically: "Today, Renshou Palace has become much quieter, which is probably the quietest day in the past two years."

Jiang Xiu, the most trusted female official next to her, replied: "Those who like the fun have gone to the east."

Queen Fang said again: "My father came back from sending the message just now, and only sent four words to ask for blessings. It seems that there is no other way."

Jiang Xiu said: "The Empress is too kind-hearted, so people are bullied by others."

Queen Fang smiled bitterly: "It's not that she is kind, but that she has not figured out a truth. Safety is not something that is begged for, but something that is made. Rights and interests are not something that is taken, but something that is made.

And it’s better to rely on yourself than rely on the heaven, earth and others! My father said that he wanted to be blessed, probably because he wanted to rely on himself.”

Jiang Xiu said helplessly: "The Empress wakes up too late. The powerful ministers outside are all domineering and domineering, and do not take the Empress seriously.

Now the overall situation has been decided, today's court meeting is just a formality, and it will stabilize in the future. The empress does not have a chance."

Queen Fang said again: "It's not too late, it can even be said to be the right time, and it's not that it's not easy to deal with today."

Jiang Xiu was secretly surprised, and secretly glanced at Queen Fang a few more times, and suddenly felt that the queen was a little unfamiliar.

At this moment, an eunuch in his thirties hurriedly walked in from outside Renshou Palace. When he saw Empress Fang standing in the main hall, he came over to greet him again.

Then the eunuch said concisely: "We have contacted us all, absolutely reliable. Just wait for the Empress to decide, let's go to the formation myself."

Jiang Xiu couldn't understand what he was saying at all. He knew the eunuch who came to report the affairs, which was Chen Hong, who was in charge of the affairs of the Empress's Palace, but what he said was really incomprehensible.

Anyway, Jiang Xiu felt again that the queen became even more unfamiliar.

Queen Fang looked up at the sky and ordered Jiang Xiu: "The court meeting should start, go back to the bedroom!"

At this time, outside the Meridian Gate, the Wendong and Wuxi had already set up their seats. When the auspicious time comes, they would go to Meridian Gate from the left and right gates to the Meridian Gate first.
