Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Xiao Jun's performance was very disappointing. Queen Dugu returned to the palace and was so angry. Yang Jian, who was always afraid of guilt, comforted Queen Dugu:"I didn't expect that the Liang Palace would raise such a stupid princess. I will recruit some talents from the inner court." A good palace maid will definitely make progress if she teaches her."

Dugu said later:"A princess like this is clumsy and lazy. She has been spoiled since she was a child. How can an ordinary palace maid teach her? In my opinion, It's better to find a strict nanny who can teach her well and she will be corrected within a few months."

"Um. After hearing this, Yang Jian acquiesced and asked,"In the Queen's opinion, which nanny is strict in doing things?""

"It seems to me that Princess Lanling's nanny Song, who is very good at disciplining her mother-in-law and maids, will be able to make great progress by letting her train Concubine Xiao and learn some talents from Gong'e."

"Just follow the queen's wishes."

Queen Dugu then ordered someone to send a message to Nanny Song. The palace people hurriedly sent the message. In a short time, Nanny Song came to the palace.

This Nanny Song is not tall, has a strong body, big eyes, wide mouth and thick lips. She is The nanny of Princess Lanling, the youngest daughter of Empress Dugu. Empress Dugu said to Aunt Song:"The King of Jin married Xiao Jun, the princess of Liang Kingdom, as his concubine, and brought him back to the palace today. I didn't expect that Concubine Xiao was clumsy, ignorant of history books, and could not understand the history." He knows etiquette and music, but he can't even make a bun. He guards the palace people and has lost the face of this palace."

"What does Queen Empress mean?"

"Aunt Song usually disciplines maids and mothers in a strict and methodical way. Concubine Xiao will be left to you to train for a few months. After she understands the family rules, she will be allowed to serve Prince Jin."

Ms. Song said:"I understand what the empress means, but Concubine Xiao is also the empress, and I am a servant. If I go to discipline her, wouldn't it disturb the dignity?"

Queen Dugu stood up, walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a bamboo ruler. Queen Dugu handed the bamboo ruler to Sister Song, and Mrs. Song took the ruler with both hands. The carvings on the ruler were gorgeous, exquisite, and interesting. Unparalleled, there is a long dragon engraved on it.

Queen Dugu said:"This palace will grant you the use of this dragon-carved ruler. If Xiao Fei disobeys the discipline, she will be punished with the dragon ruler.""

Ms. Song raised the carved dragon ruler with both hands above her head and bowed to the ground to thank her.

Yang Guang returned to the Jin Palace alone, while Xiao Jun was left in the palace and sent to Lengyuan Palace not far from the queen's palace. This Leng Yuan The palace was originally a residence for palace maids. Because Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian insisted on monogamy and had no concubines, he left Xiao Jun in the palace and could not find a suitable palace, so he packed up Lengyuan Palace to live in.

Xiao Jun just moved into Leng Yuan Palace. Less than half a day after leaving Yuan Palace, Aunt Song and a eunuch came to Lengyuan Palace. The eunuch shouted:"The imperial edict has arrived!" When Xiao Jun saw the imperial edict coming, he quickly walked closer, lifted his skirt and knelt down.

The eunuch opened the door The imperial edict read:"Xiao Jun heard the edict: The Xiao family is a member of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom. They should be virtuous and respectful, but they lack education, have no talent or learning, and are extravagant and stupid. Therefore, I ordered my grandma, Mrs. Song, to hold the carved dragon ruler and supervise the discipline. She will be talented and polite, study diligently, and accompany the king as soon as possible. Granted."

Xiao Jun felt guilty after hearing the imperial edict. He was a foreigner, so he had no choice but to accept the edict and thank him. The eunuch said:"Empress Xiao, from now on, Aunt Song will discipline you. The old slave took his leave first."

After the eunuch left, Nanny Song walked to the table in a dignified manner, sat on the stool, placed the carved dragon ruler on the table, raised her thick legs, and said to Xiao Jun:"Empress Xiao, from now on From now on, the old slave Leng Yuangong will accompany you. The queen told me that Empress Xiao was extravagant, lazy, uneducated and incompetent, so she asked me to train her strictly."

Nanny Song took out a piece of paper from her pocket, put it on the table, and said,"I wrote a time paper. From now on, Empress Xiao will live according to this time paper. I heard that Empress Xiao can't read a few words, so I Just think about it for your empress."Nanny Song picked up the time paper and read:

"Get up at 9 o'clock every day, clean the courtyard, have breakfast, and give early bows to the queen; read and write at chen o'clock, practice calligraphy; recite palace rules and teach the law at si o'clock; have dinner at noon, give afternoon bows to the queen; teach flute and flute at no time , piano, and chess; teach you how to comb your hair in a bun at Shen time; have dinner at You time and ask the queen to pay her late respects; teach silk weaving and embroidery at Xu time; and sleep at Hai time."

Ms. Song asked Xiao Jun to come closer, looked her up and down, and said,"She is really a beauty, but it's a pity that she is so stupid. Lengyuan Palace was originally a place for servants to live, and the queen advocates diligence and frugality. Concubine Xiao is here. It's inevitable to have a rough meal, but don't dislike it."Xiao Jun was so frightened that he dared not speak for a long time.

From that day on, Xiao Jun was like a slave in Lengyuan Palace, wearing simple clothes. He was taught by the palace maid, learned talents every day, practiced calligraphy at night, and memorized the rules of the palace. , worshiped the queen three times a day, and if there was any neglect, the Song Dynasty would hit her with a ruler, who was the princess of the Sui Dynasty. It can be said: practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, play bamboo, tune silk flute and sing.

The hair is high and the makeup is easy to wear. The brocades are exquisitely embroidered and sewed.

They have never violated the rules in the palace, and they dare not take the door etiquette lightly. Looking back on his childhood is so painful, why look at him with compassion.

Xiao Jun is locked up in Lengyuan Palace, not to mention finding a close sister, just There is not even a maid, but there is a little eunuch named Su Yuan in the next room.

When no one lives in Lengyuan Palace, Su Yuan just cleans the courtyard and does menial work. Since Xiao Jun moved in, Su Yuan After all, he had a neighbor.

On weekdays, when Aunt Song was around, Su Yuan helped with the beatings and did not dare to talk to Xiao Jun at all. When Nanny Song was not around, the two of them chatted.

But on this day, Nanny Song When he was not there, Xiao Jun saw Su Yuan cleaning the yard in the room, so he stood at the door and shouted in a low voice:"Little father-in-law...little father-in-law"……"

Su Yuan threw down the broom and walked to the door in a few steps:"What are your orders, princess?""

"Please ask your father-in-law to do something."

Su Yuan hesitated for a moment and said:"If your Majesty wants to eat something good secretly, I can help you get it. If you want to go out, you can't.""

"Of course I can't go out, but my father-in-law can go out. Please help me send a message to King Jin."

"What does the empress want the slave to say to King Jin? Xiao

Jun thought for a while,"Well, what can I say? It would be great if King Jin could enter the palace and meet me.""

Su Yuan looked at Xiao Jun's pitiful look and scratched his head but couldn't think of any solution, so he said:"If I have time to go out tomorrow, I can go to Prince Jin's Mansion by the way. I will report the truth truthfully.

Xiao Jun was overjoyed:"Thank you so much, little father-in-law.""

The next day, Su Yuan got up early and stood in the yard and looked into Xiao Jun's room. Xiao Jun lived in the inner room and Aunt Song lived in the outer room. Although Xiao Cheng did not dare to come out, she opened the window of the separation room.

Seeing the eunuch Su Yuan looking into the room, Xiao Jun also waved his hand through the window. Su Yuan did not dare to say anything, for fear that Aunt Song would hear her and mouth her words:"I'm going to see King Jin today."

Xiao Jun smiled happily, and Su Yuan turned around and left.

In the past few years since Su Yuan has been in the palace, he has become familiar with palaces and palaces in the capital. By leaving the palace on this day, he found Prince Jin's Mansion.

The head of Prince Jin's Mansion Zhang Heng happened to go out and bumped into Su Yuan. When he saw how he was dressed, he turned out to be a eunuch from the palace. Zhang Heng immediately smiled and greeted him:"Which father-in-law is this? Come to the Jin Palace to play today. Please come to the house quickly.""

"Xiaonu Leng Yuan Palace Suyuan has important matters to visit King Qiantui of Jin"

"Leng Yuan Palace?"Zhang Heng was stunned, thinking that Jin Princess Xiao Jun was imprisoned in Lengyuan Palace. Su Yuan must have come here for this matter. Zhang Heng said:"Oh, my father-in-law came at the right time. Prince Jin Qiansui has not been eating for the past few days. Uneasy."

When Su Yuan heard this, he thought to himself that he was really here, and came to the living room with Zhang Heng."My father-in-law, sit down first, I will inform King Jin."

"Please do so."

Zhang Heng left the living room and went to the backyard. Yang Guang was sitting on the corridor, tearing off flower petals sadly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness……"

Zhang Heng held the robe in one hand and walked quickly. Yang Guang looked at him with disdain, glanced sideways and asked:"Isn't it the father who has invited me to discuss important matters of the court again?"

"This time it’s about the princess!"

"oh? Yang Guang suddenly became energetic,"Tell me quickly, how is the princess now?""

"Eunuch Su from Lengyuan Palace came to the house and said he had something important to visit."

"Where are people? Yang Guang said, got up and walked to the front yard.

"Just in the front hall"

"Take me to see you quickly."Yang Guang and Zhang Heng walked quickly to the front hall one after the other.

As soon as they saw Jin Wang Yang Guang, Su Yuan hurriedly saluted,"Eunuch, please take a seat quickly."The servant next to him brought tea, and Yang Guang asked:"How is the princess doing in Lengyuan Palace? Father-in-law, tell me quickly."

"Your Highness, the princess has suffered a lot in Lengyuan Palace. Although she has learned a lot of talents, Grandma Song is strict in her discipline. She also has the carved dragon ruler given by the queen. She will hit her whenever she wants and scold her whenever she wants. No respect or inferiority"

"Snapped!"Yang Guang slapped the table, stood up, walked back and forth a few steps angrily, and said angrily:"This Aunt Song is too deceitful. She is also my king's concubine after all. She doesn't look at the monk's face, the Buddha's face, or the fish. Love depends on water conditions, it’s too crazy, right?"

"Your Highness, please calm down, you can’t offend Nanny Song."

"Why not?

Su Yuan hurriedly advised:"Mama Song is older than the two princes and a princess. I heard that she is a close confidant of Queen Dugu. Offending Mammy Song is like offending the Queen.""

"I have never tasted her milk! At this time ,

Zhang Heng, who was standing aside, stepped forward to persuade:"What Eunuch Su said is reasonable. You must not offend the Queen because of this matter." The Queen loves His Highness the most, even more than the Prince."

Zhang Heng's words reminded Yang Guang. Yang Guang had looked down on his brother Yang Yong since he was a child, and had been peeping at Yang Yong's position as prince for a long time. Thinking of this, Yang Guang nodded. Yang Guang turned around and asked Zhang Heng:"So. , what should I do?

Zhang Heng said:"First of all, I will give the princess some reassurance. I said that I will go to the palace to see her in two days, and then I will look for a way to get the princess out." Yang

Guang thought about it and said to Su Yuan:"Just do what Master Zhang said, promise the princess first, and go visit her in two days.""

"The slave understands.

Yang Guang winked at Zhang Heng:"Hurry up and show your father-in-law the reward.""

Zhang Heng took out thirty taels of grained silver and stuffed it into Su Yuan. Su Yuan was overjoyed to see the money, thanked him repeatedly, and left the Jin Palace.
