Wild North America 1846

With the royal government sharing most of the trivial government affairs, King Richard could free up his hands to consider major issues related to the strategic positioning of the Tang Kingdom and the development direction of the industrial economy. The workload was greatly reduced and the efficiency was higher.

When Richard was in Chang'an, he went to the Qinzheng Palace five days a week, handling state affairs in the morning, resting or going out for inspections in the afternoon, and in case of military emergencies, he could go straight to the palace.

Take two days off on the weekend and ignore government affairs.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet meets with His Majesty twice a week to report on international and domestic events and listen to the Hadith.

It has become a established practice that ministers from various ministries and military dignitaries attend the imperial meeting to prepare for His Majesty's inquiries at any time.

Chang'an Palace holds a large court meeting in the main hall once a month, usually on the first working day of each month, and postponed on Sundays.

The Great Court Meeting basically does not discuss any substantive state affairs. Most of the time, diplomatic envoys from various countries submit letters of credence, award honors and awards, worship ancestors on important days, listen to hadiths, and hold major ceremonial sacrifices or celebrations.

For example, the Great Chao Hui in September has been designated as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, to the rain god Grain, and to pray for a good harvest.

In October, the Grand Council will officially accept Costa Rica as the fourth overseas province and hold a naval admiral award ceremony.

Richard could easily cope with such a schedule and had a lot of free time at his disposal.

East Palace

From the lakeside palace beside Taiye Pond, the melodious singing of opera could be heard. The queen and concubines in the harem were eating tea and listening to music with His Majesty the King. They felt really uncomfortable.

On the stage of the classical Chinese-style pavilion, the traditional Peking Opera play "The Matchmaker" is performed, interpreting the joys and sorrows of ancient talents and beauties. The actors and actresses sing, play, and play all the best, making everyone smile.

Richard was sitting on the throne in the middle. Queen Lin was sitting side by side with him. On both sides were lined up the king's concubines, three good ladies, four good ladies, and five good ladies behind him.

Pin Chenghui, Zheng Qipin Zhaoxun, and the third row behind is Zhengjiu Pin Fengyi.

further back

It was a large group of concubines with no status. There were many white girls with blond hair, blue eyes, black hair, or red hair. They had no chairs to sit on, so they could only stand in the back and watch the show.

In the front row were all the princes and princesses, big and small. The eldest was Youxu, who was 10 years old, and the younger was still in her grandma's arms. There were 13 princes and 6 princesses, and the royal family was full of people. It was really lively.

After all, these children were born in the palace, and they have been exposed to the rules since they were young. Even if they are only three or four years old, they still sit on the brocade stools in a proper manner, and at most they twist their bodies from time to time.

Fortunately, there is an exquisite small tea table in front of each child, with several plates of refreshments placed on it, including sweet-scented osmanthus mille-feuille, dense three-knife, spiced cashews, three-color candied fruits, grape and cantaloupe fruit plates, a cup of tea, and

Watching a show while eating is a favorite among children, so they can all sit still.

The whole family was together. Richard enjoyed the warm family atmosphere at the moment. He turned his face and said softly to Queen Lin;

"Queen, the whole family in the harem is well organized and orderly. Queen, thank you for your hard work. I am so lucky to have you by my side to take care of everything inside and outside."

"Your majesty is serious. I only ask your majesty not to bring back more than 100 women at once. Moreover, they are all hags who cannot understand their speech and have no rules in their behavior and behavior. It is really giving me a splitting headache. Although this harem is large,

We can't accommodate so many people!" From Queen Lin's words, we can really hear the deep dissatisfaction.

It's just a matter of recruiting some Chinese women. Such a large palace does not lack a few dozen women. The problem is that these Mexican witches do not understand the language, and their instructions must be interpreted, which is really troublesome.

"Uh... I understand." Richard smiled awkwardly.

This trip to Mexico was really exciting. All the local upper-class families in Mexico rushed to send the best beauties. There were also garrison divisions who selected white girls from thousands of miles away to pay tribute. They were thin, round, fat, and had their own charms. It was indeed rich in beauties.

country.

Even if a family only sends one or two top-notch girls, there are more than 100 girls in total.

Queen Lin said sternly, "Your Majesty, concubines are not talkative and jealous, as the ancients said; sex is a bone-scraping steel knife, which should be taken with moderation.

How many kings in ancient and modern times indulged in it, did not think about government affairs, emptied their bodies, and ruined their great country in vain?

I, the king, should take a lesson from the past.

Even though His Majesty's physique is different from ordinary people, the ants will still kill an elephant.

I don’t care how many people are added to the palace, I only worry about your majesty’s body and bones, and you have to be relaxed and relaxed, so as not to be seduced by these cheap maids and destroy your majesty’s ambition to govern the country.”

"Everything the queen said is reasonable. I am ashamed, so I should keep it in my heart." Richard responded with a shameful face. He paused, reached out and patted Queen Lin's jade hand, and said softly: "This time

Among the girls who have returned, I will arrange the list of seven for you last time as appropriate. These are all the legitimate daughters of the family presented by the powerful nobles in Mexico. They are given some rankings. Don't bother with the others. From now on.

All belong to the Baixiang Hall of the West Palace."

"Your Majesty has decrees, and I must obey them." Queen Lin thought for a moment and then said in a measured tone; "Now, these seven upper-class ladies are not pregnant with Your Majesty, and they are all temporarily accepted as ninth-grade concubines.

When something comes out in the future, it will be your Majesty's reward. In addition to the third-rank Liangdi and the fourth-rank Liangyuan, there are vacancies for Chenghui and Zhaoxun. The specific position depends on Your Majesty's pleasure. I am a concubine.

Just do it.”

"The queen will decide everything about the harem, and I will not interfere at all."

Richard patted Queen Lin's slender hand intimately and made a solemn promise again. In return, Lin smiled sweetly and her dignified face turned a little red.

Although Lin, who was born into a wealthy family, already had two sons and one daughter, she was still not used to being intimate in public. His sudden shyness made Richard's heart move, and he held Lin's little hand in his palm, intentionally or unintentionally.

Gently rub it with your thumb.

Mrs. Lin pulled back hard, but was wrapped tightly by the warm hand, and her dignified and beautiful face became increasingly red.

His majesty's blatant behavior in public was stared at by countless people. Lin Zhen'er's heart was so excited that her heart was beating wildly. She somehow thought of his majesty's vigor and fierceness, and her body became limp.

not long

Richard noticed something was wrong with the queen. He looked carefully in surprise and found that Lin Zhener's eyes were as charming as silk, watery and full of tenderness, and her pretty rosy face was as delicate as a flower. Ren Jun

pick.

After all, you are only 25 years old, in your youth!

Seeing this, Richard immediately moved his fingers, "Hey hey" and laughed strangely, then turned around and ordered the maid in the palace not far away: "The queen is feeling a little unwell. Please help the queen to the Liang Hall to rest for a while.

It will come later.”

After hearing His Majesty's instructions, four palace maids immediately came up and helped Queen Lin Zhen'er, whose body was a little weak, to rest.

The subsequent departure caused some commotion. Richard waved his hands calmly and said, "It doesn't matter. The queen is only slightly unwell. I just need to go and have a look. All my beloved concubines can just watch the show. There is no need to cause trouble."

One woman is equivalent to 5 ducks, so what is 100 women?

This is definitely not addition, but multiplication.

After Richard appeased all the concubines, he stood up and walked towards the Liang Palace. He turned around the moon gate surrounded by trees, and the noise of singing and dancing in the palace near the lake suddenly died down and became much quieter.

.

Leaving behind those who followed him, Richard walked not far along the winding flower path, and a deep and simple cool palace appeared in front of him.

The front and rear doors of Liangdian are open, and the cool breeze from Taiye Pool passes through the hall, blowing the heavy curtains and swaying, making it more and more emotional.

Richard walked up to the palace and saw four palace ladies coming out of the inner hall one after another. They performed a blessing ceremony in front of Richard and then quietly withdrew.

When I came to the inner hall and opened the curtain, I saw Lin Zhen'er leaning on the cloud couch at this moment, her face flushed as if she had no bones. When she heard the footsteps, her whole body softened, and she looked over with charming eyes.

.

Her exquisite figure is clearly visible, her fair legs are exposed, and her toes are like jade.

Richard stood where he was and did not move forward. He just looked at Queen Lin Zhen'er with a smile on his face, indicating something.

Neither of them spoke, and traces of ambiguity quickly grew and spread in the inner court, filling every corner.

I only heard the sound of the wind blowing the curtains from outside, and maybe... and the pounding heartbeat...

I saw Lin Zhener's face getting more and more rosy. She was born in a noble family and could not let go between the beds. Seeing His Majesty standing there motionless for a long time, there was a hint of sadness in Rusi's eyes;

After a while

Lin Zhen'er stared at Richard with some embarrassment, then helplessly stretched out her jade hands and pulled apart the gorgeous dress that covered her towering breasts, revealing a breathtaking gleam of snow-white.

At this point, the little hands grasped tightly and refused to move anymore.

Richard knew that the Queen was very thin-skinned. She would only go to bed late at night and turn out the lights before going to bed. She never wanted to serve her concubine. Even if she couldn't bear her own brute strength, she would still fight hard by herself.

Today's emotions are a big exception.

So he smiled maliciously "hehe" and strode forward...

There was a cooing cry from the nearest inner hall, and then it fell into a violent storm and turned into a pool of spring mud...

Beside Taiye Pond

The actor's melodious singing echoed, and all the concubines, princes and princesses enjoyed the opera with smiles. I have watched this play "The Matchmaker" many times, and some of the concubines with good voices can also sing it with style.

But there are always people looking back frequently, looking at Liangdian with a pair of beautiful and resentful eyes. His Majesty and the Queen have been away for a long time and never come back.

The specific reason is that the rules in the palace are very strict, so I don’t dare to ask around.

But women are as meticulous as a hair, and they can always make accurate guesses, and a hint of resentment will inevitably come out. They are not worried about the scarcity of things, but about the inequality. This has been the case since ancient times. This is human nature!

Who asked His Majesty to bring so many women into the palace? Even if he is as strong as a mountain, how many can he satisfy?
