Chapter 165: Concubine Selection (1)
The concubines of the late emperor could move out of the palace, only those with children, those without children still had to live in the palace and return home after a few years. This was Liu Yu's suggestion, and the starting point was very good, but in the hearts of those moral conservatives, the concubines were not old enough to have children and no one would want them. They were determined not to let them leave the surroundings of all red walls.
Because Qier had a close relationship with the new emperor, the Neiku Lisiya Office focused on handling it. It is estimated that after the mourning of the First Emperor, the residence outside the palace would be prepared for Qier and Meiren Lin. Qier was happy, and Wu Shuo, the stuttering beside him, seemed a little lonely in joy. It would be difficult for the two sisters to go out again in the future.
When Qier saw Liu Yu, she was most concerned about whether she could go to his house after moving out of the palace. After receiving a positive answer, Qier pulled Liu Yu and said a lot. Wu Shuo felt that Liu Yu was a light bulb, so Laqier went to the inner court again.
Looking at the direction of the two leaving, Liu Yu frowned and asked, "Master Wu, your great-granddaughter won't have any special hobbies, right?"
"What special hobbies?" Wu You looked up and glanced at him, as if he was dissatisfied with Liu Yu's words.
This time, Liu Yu felt that Wu Shuo completely treated him as his "love rival". Perhaps the relationship between Qier and Liu Yu had been tremendous after the poisoning case, which caused a stuttering jealousy.
Wu You said again: "Our Yaya has lived with me in the mountains since she was a child. No one talked to her, so she was not good at speaking. This time she could meet Qier in the palace, so she might cherish this friend. Don't think about it in a leap."
Liu Yu didn't delve into this issue anymore. He chatted with Wu You for a while. He also wanted to go to Zhengying Palace to take a look. After all, all the ministers were there to filial piety.
Before she arrived at Zhengying Palace, she saw a woman wearing a white dress and a lotus step in front of her. When she got closer, she found that she was carrying a medicine box, which was Qu Ning. She was not in Zhengying Palace, but seemed to have come from the inner court.
"Doctor Qu, you're polite." Liu Yu smiled and said hello, "Where are you going?"
When Qu Ning saw Liu Yu approaching, he said in a bad tone: "The matter of Commander Liu is so lenient. Princess Yu may not be used to the water and soil of the palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she suffered from cold wind and cold. The little woman had just gone to the diagnosis and treatment and prescribed a decoction. Do you need to report to the Imperial Guard separately in the future?"
Although Xiaoyu is now the imperial concubine, because she has not been recognized, her identity is still the former "Princess Yu" that has not changed.
"I'm just asking. Doctor Qu's job is to be responsible for the body of the royal family. It doesn't matter if you don't want to follow me about your job. Say goodbye."
"Wait." Liu Yu said goodbye and was about to leave, but Qu Ning called him.
"Doctor Qu has anything else?"
Qu Ning seemed very hesitant, but couldn't help asking: "Young Master Liu said before that you could find him through you. Do you know his current residence?"
It turned out that Qu Ning was really obsessed with Liu Liniang. Liu Yu thought that if he guessed Liu Liniang's identity, Qu Ning would definitely avoid being ashamed of being ashamed. He didn't want to provoke Liu Liniang again for Qu Ning. The last time he used fake things to deceive Liu Liniang was not solved.
Liu Yu said with a cramped smile on his face: "Brother Liu... should have left Chang'an City. If he comes to visit again in the future, I will definitely mention Miss Qu's longing for her."
Liu Yu said this to mean that he already knew Qu Ning's affection for Liu Liniang. Qu Ning was still very embarrassed and angry when a man he hated knew his daughter's family. Qu Ning gave Liu Yu a blank look and said, "There is something that the little woman wants to tell Commander Liu, but she doesn't know whether to tell him."
This is not Qu Ning's speaking style. Liu Yuxin said, would she want to use the ridicule of words to take revenge?
"Ms. Qu has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Qu Ning sighed, and his expression became a little sighed and said, "The Emperor had summoned the Minister of Rites Qian Hui to Yaqian Hall to speak in Wu and later. It seemed that he had issued an order. After that, the Emperor's body suddenly became uneasy. Before his death, the Emperor held the little girl's hand and said a few words. He was a little puzzled at the time, but now he figured it out that the Emperor asked the woman to assist the King of Chu in the inner court. Commander Liu, what do you mean by the Emperor?"
On that day of the old emperor Bintian, many things were unexpected for Liu Yu, and Qianhui was the most unexpected variable. He had already ordered Qu Zhu, Yang Lie and others to report any movement in the palace to him truthfully, but he still did not expect that the emperor summoned Qianhui after the Wu Dynasty when the ministers left the palace in a little chaotic situation.
The old emperor understood the thoughts of King Chu and Qu Ning. At that time, Qu Ning was specially asked to run thousands of miles to treat his injuries, which was obviously intended to make her and the King of Chu enhance their emotional exchanges and prepare for her to become the "Queen" in the future. Liu Yu could guess that the emperor's money for the emperor might not be an edict to pass the throne, but it was probably an edict to grant Qu Ning the title of Princess of Chu or the queen. From a side evidence, it can prove that the former emperor wanted to pass the throne to the King of Chu, which was very unfavorable to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu smiled indifferently, but did not show any changes in his inner mood, and asked, "What does Doctor Qu think the last emperor mean?"
Qu Ning glanced at Liu Yu coldly. When he saw him, he either thought he was frivolous or impetuous, or he thought he was careless. He had never seen him look at her with such a seemingly smile, and said vigilantly: "Is it because the little woman's words that made Commander Liu feel uneasy. Commander Liu was interested in killing the little woman?"
Liu Yu did have such thoughts in an instant. Now that Money Hui is missing, if Qu Ning tells others such words, it will inevitably make people imagine and doubt the orthodox qualification of Emperor Su Yan. But Liu Yu asked himself that he could not be so cruel and ruthless now. For the sake of power, he could use tricks, but he did not want to create grievances again. Although this persistence is a bit ridiculous, many times he would have to be killed if he didn't kill anyone.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "What is Doctor Qu saying? There is a sword under his back, and they are those who are killing those who harm the emperor. Doctor Qu does not harm the emperor, so how can he be killed? Doctor Qu must understand the importance of the matter."
Liu Yuyu was giving a pun, and was also warning her not to talk randomly everywhere. Qu Ning could of course hear what Liu Yu said, and nodded and said, "The little woman remembers Commander Liu's warning!"
Qu Ning's attitude made Liu Yu feel a little uneasy. What Qu Ning knew was the royal secret, and there would be unexpected harm when he said it. But if he thought about it carefully, since Qu Ning would tell him in public, it would mean that she did not want to be exposed later, and she had a little intention of confessing herself, and it was also to show him that she had no intention of hiding it.
Liu Yu was thinking while walking towards Zhengying Palace. When someone came towards him, he saw Liu Yu rushing over. It was Su Yan.
"Master, Master..." Su Yan looked panicked.
"What happened?" Liu Yu pulled out his sword, thinking that someone threatened Su Yan's safety.
"No... it's okay." Su Yan said after calming his breath.
Liu Yu said angrily: "It's okay, why are you running out alone? You don't want to rest well, but you have to keep a watch for three nights!"
Su Yan said with a sad face: "Master, don't get angry. I want to rest, but as soon as I lay down and before I could fall asleep, Yuan Xiang broke into the Yaqian Hall..."
Liu Yu interrupted Su Yan and said, "Why are you not staying in the inner court but staying in Yaqian Hall?"
Su Yan stammered: "I...I'm afraid, sleeping in Yaqian Hall... I feel at ease. When I arrive in the inner court, I want to escape, but I can't even sleep."
Liu Yuxin said that Su Yan still had no confidence in becoming an emperor, and he was afraid of joining the inner court. He would still have to face the court officials in a trembling manner during the dynasty meeting in the future? This matter could make him get used to it slowly, and Liu Yu was not very worried.
"What are the stubborn old man looking for you?" Liu Yu asked.
Su Yan was stunned and said, "Stubborn old man? Oh, the master said Yuan Xiang, he went to me to tell me about the enthronement of the queen."
Liu Yuxin said that Yuan Bolang was really anxious to do things. He would have to be enthroned until the 15th day of the new emperor was buried in the territory for 274 days.
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "There should be no hurry to do this, right?"
"It's very urgent!" Su Yan took out a large stack of memorials from his arms and said, "This is what Yuan Xiang gave to me. He said he asked me to choose a queen here."
Liu Yu was curious and found out that the memorial handed over by Su Yan. After opening it, it was all about the "best friend files" of some women from Chang'an City, and they were all the ladies from wealthy families. The words on it were so exquisite and clear. It was praised for the existence of the sky and the earth, as if the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth was gathered from these women.
"Aren't you going to let Xiaoyu be the queen?" Liu Yu read a few books, and was so exaggerated that he couldn't stand it. He looked up at Su Yan.
"I think, Xiaoyu is so nice to me. Now that I am the emperor, of course I want her to be the queen. She is originally Princess Yu!" Su Yan said aggrievedly, "But Yuan Xiang said that Xiaoyu has a bad background and has no talent and knowledge, so she is not enough to be the mother of a country. She also said that these are all daughters from a noble family, with knowledge, knowledge, and kindness, and insisted that I choose it here."
"What did you say?"
"I said I didn't want to see it. Yuan Xiang insisted on forcing me to see it. He also said that if he didn't look at it, he would also accept it in the palace and be given a concubine or something. This would enrich the inner court and allow the royal bloodline to be extended as soon as possible, and the aristocratic families in Chang'an City would be grateful for the kindness of the new emperor and would do their best to help me."
Liu Yu nodded, Yuan Bolang was right. The dignified emperor, without three thousand beauties around him, should have three or five concubines. Moreover, taking women from a noble family as concubines can indeed achieve the effect of calming people. At that time, the two empresses of the old emperor, as well as Concubine Li and many concubines in the harem, were also included in the palace for such a purpose.
Liu Yu didn't say anything, and looked through all the memoirs again, just a rough look. After reading it, he couldn't help but mutter, "Strange."
"What's wrong with the master?"
"Oh, it's okay."
Liu Yu was actually strange because there was no Qu Ning among them. Does Yuan Bolang think Qu Ning was not enough to be a concubine? Or did he have any grudges with the Qu family?
Liu Yu was thinking about it when he saw Yuan Bolang coming over with his old face black, and saluted respectfully, "Old Message to pay tribute to the emperor." After saying that, he handed over a large stack of memorials, "Your Majesty, this is a new list of women from aristocratic families. The old Message has ordered all families to gather their wives and gathered them at the old Message's mansion. Please go over and select them together to enrich the inner palace with the concubine!"
