Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Concubine Li Xian already knew that Xiazhou Party was defeated in the battle, because the entire palace was celebrating. The palace was more lively than usual, but Li Yueji stayed in her bedroom and did not go out.

Today is the day when all the concubines go to the Zide Palace to pay respects to Empress Erfu. The eunuchs in her palace came to remind her twice, but she didn't go either.

Anyway, no one paid any attention to her when she arrived at the Zide Hall, and she was angered in vain in the past. And now she is not afraid of being punished, Ping Xia is destroyed, her father's life and death are unknown, and her current status makes her feel that she can't live anymore.

Li Yueji came to marry, and now there is no need to marry, people feel that her title of virtuous concubine will be abolished soon.

Li Yueji thought of death and had been thinking about it these days. There were no weapons or poisons in the court, so after much deliberation, it would be easier to hang yourself. The matter of hanging on the beams came to her mind countless times.

Last night she cut the two pieces of clothing, twisted the rope, and prepared everything, but it was not easy to implement it. For some reason, it was so difficult for a person to seek death, especially when she was depressed but calmer.

She found an excuse for herself, she wanted to know Li Yiyin's life and death, and then she wanted to die.

... After a while, all the concubines and officials in the Zide Palace bowed their knees to bid farewell to the second sister Fu who was in the upper palace.

Shanggong Zhang and Du stayed by Fu Ermei's side, and when they left, Du immediately reminded, "Concubine Li Xian didn't come."

Fu Ermei said: "Maybe she is not in a good mood, she is a party member."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Du looked at each other, and said softly: "This is disrespect to the queen. The queen once questioned the crime openly, so that other people can also look at the majesty of the queen."

Fu Ermei frowned and said: "She is from Xiazhou, she has no one to rely on in Tokyo, and now her mother's family is in trouble, so it is too much for me to bully her again?"

Du Shi said: "Because of this, the queen punished her, and no one will speak for her."

Mrs. Zhang also said: "Since she is the concubine of Emperor Daxu, she hasn't been raised well for so long, and her heart is still facing the outside world. Besides, the way of imperial servants is to be respectful and orderly."

Fu Ermei was very hesitant.

At this moment, someone said: "The Empress Dafu is back."

Not long after, I saw Fu Jinzhan coming into the hall surrounded by shouts. She was wearing a purple round-neck official uniform and a fur head. She had just returned from her office in the front court. She didn't wear any jewelry. She was dressed very simply, like a man. However, the round neck silk silk was already soft, and was supported by the plump breasts, making it more conspicuous; the complexion was white with light makeup, and the hair on the temples under the hat was even more black.

"Elder Sister!" Second Sister Fu called out.

Mrs. Zhang and the others put their hands on their stomachs, bent their knees and squatted down, "My servant pays homage to the empress."

The women in the room are all beautiful, standing or squatting, with different styles and polite postures. In this gorgeous and clean palace, it is indeed a pleasing scenery.

Jinzhan flicked the sleeve of his robe lightly, "Forget it. Can the second sister still deal with the affairs of the harem?"

Fu Ermei immediately said: "There is one thing I don't know what to do."

When Jinzhan heard this, he tilted his head slightly, and the eunuchs and maids around him all saluted and said, "Your maidservant will leave."

Fu Ermei then told Li Yueji about not saying a word and not coming to see the queen.

After hearing this, Jinzhan immediately said: "Didn't Liu Renzhan send a box of Northeast ginseng as a tribute a few days ago? You sent someone to send two to let Li Yueji recuperate and comfort her. She didn't come to say hello because she was unwell."

Zhang and the others looked puzzled.

Jinzhan smiled and said: "When Your Majesty returns from Pingxia, Li Yueji will still be a virtuous concubine, there will be no change.

The battle of Pingxia went smoothly, and with His Majesty's temperament, it was time to win over the party members. Li Yueji was originally a virtuous concubine, isn't this the best way to show her attitude? "

Several court ladies suddenly said: "So that's how it is..."

Second Sister Fu said: "Isn't Liu Renzhan the general of Pingzhou? I only know that the soldiers of the imperial guards respect the elder sister, and even the general of the Border Gate has come to please the elder sister."

Jinzhan said with a smile: "He didn't flatter me, it's because His Majesty granted the title of Duke Zhede and Xia, but he didn't dare to send gold and silver treasures, for fear that I would lose face if I didn't accept them."

Second Sister Fu pondered, "I don't know when His Majesty will be able to return to Beijing..."

...

The eunuch and maid came to Li Yueji's palace with ginseng wrapped in red silk, and said what Jinzhan had said, telling Li Yueji to die.

The court lady next to Li Yueji specially asked: "Excuse me, father-in-law, is it the will of Empress Dafu or Empress Erfu?"

The eunuch said: "The two empresses are both here, they have the same words."

The palace lady thanked him and sent the eunuch out.

Soon the palace lady came back and said: "The empress is a kind person, and the slaves thought that this would happen. If it was in the previous dynasty, the current situation of the concubine Xian would definitely be used as a show for the monkeys..."

Li Yueji sighed "Oh".

The court lady persuaded her kindly: "Ms. Xianfei, there is no unparalleled road. With your appearance and figure, even if you don't rely on your natal family, you still have a chance. Besides, the two empresses have no intention of dealing with you."

Li Yueji couldn't help but said: "If you are like me, and the whole tribe has been conquered by force, you will understand my humiliation. People around me look at me like a dog in mourning."

The palace woman said: "You may be wrong about some things. Others treat your mother badly, not because you are a member of the party, but because your mother is out of power."

Li Yueji frowned and said, "Oh?"

The palace woman said: "I really need to say a few words. How can this woman stay in her mother's house all the time? No matter where she is, a married woman belongs to her family, and the royal family is your home. A woman can't live in her husband's house, where else can she go?"

She leaned over and whispered in Li Yueji's ear: "I heard from an eunuch that even Empress Dafu sews clothes for the officials and serves clothes and meals. You have seen Empress Dafu, how amazing she is! Even the emperor is like other sons and daughters. His wife treats him well and takes care of him. He can regard you as his own family in his heart."

Li Yueji said calmly, "You know a lot."

The palace lady was a little embarrassed and said: "To be honest, the servants married before entering the palace, and the husband died in the war. The Central Plains of the previous dynasty was still in chaos, and the court's rules for selecting maids were not strict. They loved to choose widows, and they could help the people who were in dire straits. Even the concubines of the former emperor had many widows."

Li Yueji's attention was diverted, and she curiously said: "There is such a thing..."

The palace woman said: "There is nothing wrong. A woman who has experienced things knows good and bad, and knows how to love others. A lady like Xianfei, who is used to enjoying blessings, even hates good times..."

When she said this, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hastily stretched out her hand to slap her on the mouth lightly: "Slave talking nonsense, damn it!"

Concubine Li Xian remained calm and didn't blame her. It wasn't the first time this woman talked a lot.
