Chapter 650 Jianghu
The next day, just dawn, Miao Jin got up and served Zhu Gaoxu in dress.
Because she was too tired before going to bed, she was still a little confused when she woke up early in the morning, as if she hadn't had enough sleep. The private closeness of last night remained in her mind. At this time, she was busy and caring, reminding Gao Xu to have breakfast without any hesitation, and said some simple words.
When Zhu Gaoxu left the Ganqing Palace, Miao Jin cleaned up and left in the sedan chair of the imperial concubine.
Miao Jin turned his head on the sedan chair and looked at the magnificent main hall, thinking to himself: Gao Xu is right, this emperor's bedroom does not look like a home. There are many eunuchs and palace maids around, and they take turns paying for it. Perhaps in the eyes of the palace servants, the Ganqing Palace is just a "yamen" that pays for it.
When he returned to the Imperial Concubine Palace on the other side of the Western Six Palaces, an eunuch came to pay his respects and told Miao Jin: "The Empress summoned the concubines to discuss matters in Kunning Palace."
Miao Jin suddenly remembered what Gao Xu said last night and said that Miao Jin often did not go to pay homage to the queen. So she quickly responded: "I'll go to Kunning Palace now."
The eunuch was a little surprised and said happily: "I will report back to the queen immediately."
Miao Jin first went to his imperial concubine palace to sort out his makeup; yesterday he didn't need to change his regular clothes to go to the Qing palace. Because today must not be a ceremony, Miao Jin went to see the queen in this outfit.
It is very close to Kunning Palace from the West Six Palaces. Walking through a gatehouse to the west of Kunning Palace, and passing through the red palace walls, you can see the main hall of Kunning Palace.
When Miao Jin walked into the main hall, she saw that there were many people sitting or standing inside. She was late. In addition to Zhu Gaoxu's concubines, Miao Jin noticed that Ma Enhui and Guo Yan were also sitting near the south; in addition, there were several eunuchs with positions and a group of newly-elected female officials.
Can a person like Ma Enhui be summoned by the queen? Maybe it was because the queen wanted her sister to come and walk around often, but could not be favored by Ma Enhui, who was the same special identity, so she summoned Ma Enhui at the same time.
Everyone looked at Miao Jin, probably because she rarely came and walked around.
Miao Jin felt a little embarrassed, especially when Yao Ji and Du Qianrui were watching her, she felt very uncomfortable. However, the stunning "Xiao Niu" Yao Ji was still friendly, and smiled at Miao Jin and nodded slightly.
And Ma Enhui, Miaojin felt even more complicated and entangled when she saw her.
Miao Jin ignored them for the time being, kept calm and calm, and walked to the north of Queen Guo Wei. She bowed her knees and said, "I'm paying homage to the queen."
Guo Wei immediately smiled. She looked very happy and her voice became light: "The imperial concubine is not a gift. She is left with her seat, please sit down and talk."
Miao Jin leaned forward and said, "Thank you for your seat." She raised her head, looked at Guo Wei inadvertently, and thought to herself: It seemed like a good thing that Gao Xu had married Guo Wei.
When Guo Wei was the princess of Han in the past, Miao Jin had a good impression of her and thought she was a good woman. Now that she has become such a relationship, Guo Wei has no malice, and she seems to have forgotten the fact that she had called "Little Auntie" before, and never mentioned it again!
Seeing that everyone was coming, Guo Wei said, "I'll call everyone here today. There are two things. I will talk about the inner palace prison first. Here is a picture called the 'lightning rod'. The inner palace prison arranges people to repair this object in each hall; this is the will of the saint."
A eunuch bowed and said, "I obey the order!" After that, he walked up to take the picture.
Guo Wei took the picture in her hand to a female official and said, "The emperor said that summer is here, and he is afraid that lightning will hit the hall. As the name suggests, this needle can avoid lightning."
Mu Zhen, the imperial concubine sitting opposite Miaojin, asked curiously: "So magical?"
The virtuous concubine Yao Ji covered her red lips lightly and chuckled, "The Lord has spoken to God at Chengtian Gate. Maybe God told the Lord what he said."
The eunuch also saw that things happened. When he heard the imperial concubines, he took the picture to Mu Zhen to show it. After Mu Zhen looked at it, she burst out laughing. She seemed to realize that she was rude and her face turned red immediately.
Other concubines smiled after seeing the picture. This made Miao Jin feel curious. When she saw the picture, she suddenly realized it! It turned out that the picture was very clumsy and a bit funny.
If everyone hadn't known that Gao Xu had good writing, he would have thought he could not read when he saw this picture!
Although Mu Zhen and Miao Jin had the highest status under the queen and sat on the left and right sides respectively, Miao Jin never said anything except saying a word to the queen. She didn't want everyone to pay attention.
However, Ma Enhui was still paying attention to Miaojin. When Miaojin turned to look at her, she immediately caught Ma Enhui's gaze! Ma Enhui looked at her for a moment.
Ma Enhui smiled as if "creating something out of nothing", nodded slightly to Miaojin, and naturally resolved the embarrassment just now. Those who have been queens are still very decent in adapting.
Miaojin had no choice but to smile back.
Seeing Ma Enhui, a scene appeared in Miaojin's mind: the candlestick on the incense table and the hole in the floor.
Not bad! That is the tunnel of Fengxian Hall, and it should be gone now. However, when Miaojin followed Gao Xu into Fengxian Hall, feeling desperate, it was the tunnel that made the situation brighter!
The person who told Gao Xu was Ma Enhui. Gao Xu thought of this more than once and said that Ma Enhui was kind to him.
Of course, Miaojin is also grateful to Ma Enhui. However, Miaojin's feelings towards her are not as simple as being grateful!
It’s not jealousy. Gao Xu has so many women who can’t be jealous; and the friendship between Ma Enhui and Gao Xu should not be between men and women. Miao Jin’s emotional contradiction is because of another thing…
When Miao Jin was still a traitor in Jianwen, Ma Enhui's father Ma Quan called himself "Ma Gong", and was the one who was in charge of the traitor in Peking!
Later, because Ma Quan was the father-in-law of Jianwen, his identity was too prominent; so "Ma Gong" changed another person and became the adoptive father of the eunuch Wang Yin. At this time, Miao Jin didn't know who the second Ma Gong was. Later, was Ma Quan still involved in the affairs of spies in Peking and did something? Miao Jin didn't know.
But of course Ma Enhui knew what her father had done! She was the queen of Jianwen and the legitimate daughter of Ma Quan. The reason why Miaojin was so sure that Ma Enhui knew about it was not because of Ma Enhui's identity; but Ma Enhui had met Miaojin as early as the Jianwen period.
At that time, Miao Jin, a daughter from a scholarly family, wanted her to be a Taoist priest or a spy, but she was unwilling to let her serve, in addition to Jing Qing's father's order, she also promised Miao Jin that she would become the imperial concubine of Jianwen after the matter was completed. The person who came forward was the queen Ma Enhui!
Of course, the last thing that works is the father's fate, Miaojin doesn't want to
What kind of imperial concubine?
Ma Enhui's words were still faintly heard: You look beautiful and beautiful. Unless you serve the emperor, you will be really wronged. If you do your business, we will become sisters in the future. This palace will treat you well...
Now, Miao Jin is wearing the usual clothes of the imperial concubine, wearing a crown and jewelry; Ma Enhui has taken off her luxurious clothes and sat silently behind her in plain clothes.
Things are really unpredictable! Miao Jin didn’t have any pride in his heart, but I don’t know if Ma Enhui was concerned at this time?
At this moment, the new queen Guo Wei's voice said: "The second thing today is that this palace requires all concubines and female officials to always focus on self-cultivation and moral cultivation. Empress Renxiao (Xu) wrote twenty chapters of "Inner Training", which are about virtue, self-cultivation, careful words, diligence, frugality, alertness, accumulation of good deeds, promotion, worship of the holy teachings, Jingxian and model, serving parents, serving kings, serving uncles and aunts, serving sacrifices, motherly manners, being kind to relatives, being kind to the young, arresting the lower and treating relatives.
This palace wrote a man to publish the "Inner Training", and each concubine and female official will be published in the future. After you return to the palace, you will recite it every day to cultivate your character and recite it to your heart. Check the "Virtue" chapter at the beginning of next month. Those who cannot recite it will stop paying their monthly salary until they recite it. Do you have any objections?"
The sitting people stood up, and everyone bent their knees and said, "I, please obey the imperial edict!"
Miao Jin was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Guo Wei was quite good at becoming the queen. This move not only establishes moral rules, but also demonstrates the queen's authority through rewards and punishments! But it may also be that Guo Wei's idea, and maybe someone will give her some advice?
"Come on, distribute it." Guo Wei said.
Several eunuchs came in with the box. Everyone looked at the thickness of the booklet in the box, and many people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The total thickness of twenty books was not thick, and they were asked to recite them twenty times, which was very difficult.
But not everyone was happy. At this time, Miaojin quietly observed Ma Enhui quietly, and found that the only person in the crowd was Ma Enhui!
As the queen of the Jianwen Dynasty, Ma Enhui obviously had no good feelings for the "King of Yan" couple. She would probably feel humiliated if she asked her to recite the book of Empress Ren Xiaoxu.
This matter may be a means to target Ma Enhui? That's why I specially summoned Ma Enhui to Kunning Palace today.
Miao Jin felt that this was not like Guo Wei's method, it should have been done by the person who gave Guo Wei's advice! Who was that person? It should be the person who had a grudge against Ma Enhui.
Miao Jin didn't see the clue for a moment. But in a short while, she thought of Yao Ji!
The reason is that Yao Ji is close to the queen. Miao Jin knew that they had a good relationship when they were in the Han Palace. Moreover, Yao Ji's status is not low now and belongs to the imperial concubine. So Guo Wei may have followed Yao Ji's advice.
So do Yao Ji and Ma Enhui have old grudges?
...The meeting at Kunning Palace was over, and everything was in accordance with etiquette. Repairing the palace and educating the concubines were all commendable; everyone was also politely obediently and obediently, as if nothing had happened.
But Miao Jin had just come to the party and felt the battle. She even found that she was not spared, and seemed to be involved soon.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes appeared in Miao Jin's mind again, and his voice seemed to ring in her ears: Where there are people, there is Jianghu. (https:)
