Chapter 848 Mei Niang and Li Zhi became a legal husband and wife
Chapter 848 Mei Niang and Li Zhi became legal couples
After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Zhi was silent for a while. He couldn't hear that Wu Meiniang was hinting that she was nameless in the palace and that this status could not bring Xiao Taiping into the palace.
From Wu Meiniang's perspective, she needs strong support from the ministers in the court to her. This person can only be Wang Ping'an. Apart from Wang Ping'an, there is no one else. Then, it would be natural for Wu Meiniang to postpone Xiao Taiping's entry into the palace. As long as Xiao Taiping is in Wang Ping'an's mansion, Wang Ping'an must support her. If someone is difficult for Wu Meiniang, then Wang Ping'an will definitely turn against that person.
Since Wu Meiniang's "born" is indeed embarrassing, Li Zhi actually needs Wang Ping'an's support. Even if Wang Ping'an is not embarrassed, as long as he does not support him, just keeping silent can bring Wu Meiniang back to the original form. Other ministers will never be polite to Wu Meiniang. It is undoubtedly impossible for Li Zhi to marry a nun as a concubine.
There is no prince as a bond between Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi, because Wu Meiniang did not give birth to Li Hong, she gave birth to Xiao Taiping, and this Xiao Taiping cannot "prove" her identity, which makes Li Zhi have no confidence to talk about Wu Meiniang.
Of course, even in real history, even with great confidence, Wu Meiniang's affairs are difficult to deal with, let alone now!
Li Zhi was silent for a long time before saying, "Mei Niang, you are doing your business with Wuyan. I wonder if he did it carefully. Will anyone doubt your identity?" The identity he mentioned refers to his origin, which means that Wu Meiniang was once a concubine of the late emperor.
Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said, "My uncle has always been reliable in his work and should not have any tail left. Meiniang's identity should not be known to others within three years, but if the emperor wants Meiniang to stay in the palace for a long time, it may not be discovered in three years. This is impossible. There are too many people in this world who are extremely bored and like to check people's ancestors for eight generations, and they cannot stop them."
She meant to tell Li Zhi that it is useless to escape, and there are always people who find fault! You are the emperor, and no one will ask you for trouble, but there are definitely people who find fault with me. It is useless to be afraid, and you have to face the difficulties. So, it is better to give me a name quickly. It is useless to drag it.
Li Zhi understood this truth. He thought for a while and said, "I really want to be a long-term couple with you. What can you do if you have any solutions?"
Wu Meiniang whispered: "This is not difficult to do. Meiniang is simple to return to secular life. The difficulty is to have a reputation. The emperor can first grant Meiniang a very low status, and then go to Xiao Shufei's palace to take care of the emperor's youngest son. In this way, because Meiniang has a low status, no one will pay attention to it. Secondly, the emperor has Meiniang to take care of it, killing two birds with one stone. After a few days, the emperor will slowly increase Meiniang's rank. At that time, it will be natural and natural, and there will be fewer people who oppose it!"
Her method is right. To put it bluntly, it is to proceed step by step. Since her identity has improved slowly, it will not attract too many people's attention. When one day she really becomes extremely high and others have to pay attention to her, looking back at her "rescue" in the palace, you will think that she has been able to get through slowly and will not find fault.
Most people just hate nouveau riche and are jealous of those who have reached the top in one step, but they don’t hate those who have slowly made it through. On the contrary, they will even be used as role models and learn from them!
Li Zhi yelled, smiled on his face, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, this is indeed a good idea. Although it takes longer, there is no need to worry about such things. It is absolutely okay to do this. Not to mention that it will not attract the attention of the ministers in the court, even the people in the palace will not take this matter to heart."
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "As long as it is the one around the emperor, others will definitely pay attention. If the emperor wants to avoid attracting other people's attention, then you might as well sign a few more people this time, each of them has a division of labor, so that Meiniang will be even less conspicuous."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, it should be done, it is simple and will not attract other people's attention. Now the world is getting worse, like the former Sui Dynasty, when everyone was not full, no one cared about the emperor, but now everyone can eat enough, so they like to take care of nothing. Don't say I'm a concubine or something, even if I get up late, the ministers will have to discuss it, blame me for not going to the morning court. I am the emperor, as the emperor, as much as I am."
After saying this, Li Zhi immediately took action and asked Wu Meiniang to prepare the four treasures of the study. He began to write documents, intending to entrust a group of palace servants.
Wu Meiniang used to be a palace man, and she had sex with Li Zhi. She knew very well who was in Li Zhi's harem. Since Li Zhi wanted to be a palace maid, she naturally had to give advice.
Based on his memory, Wu Meiniang picked out five palace ladies. These five palace ladies were all relatively old and had a bad appearance. Li Zhi only favored them once, and after tasting them fresh, they would not taste them again. These five palace ladies were the lowest "picking girls" of concubines, and the eighth grade. For Li Zhi's women, this is a low-level rank that cannot be lower. As long as the palace ladies who have been sprinkled by him once, they can directly get this rank.
The promotion was not too much, but was promoted to the seventh rank of "Yuanwoman". The Yuanwoman was in charge of the clothing and utensils in the palace, such as the emperor or queen, or the concubines who had princes, such as the management of washbasins, as well as belts, shoes, hairpins, etc.
Wu Meiniang arranged responsibilities for these palace servants, and basically they were concentrated in Concubine Xiao Shu. The reason was that the palace servants used by Concubine Xiao had made mistakes and did not serve the emperor's youngest son well, so they had to change a group of people. All the previous ones were sent to the laundry courtyard to learn from Xi Shi and wash clothes.
She also arranged a position for herself, the great emperor in Concubine Xiao Shu's palace, who was in charge of diet. Now, there is only one Li Sujie left in Concubine Xiao Shu's palace, who is still a baby who is edible. If she is in charge of diet, wouldn't she just care about Li Sujie? To put it bluntly, Li Sujie's adoptive mother, and she can't be said to be a wet nurse, because she is a concubine of a rank, even if her rank is as low as the second to last, she is still one of the concubines.
Using the roundabout route, Wu Meiniang became the actual master of Concubine Xiao Shu's palace.
Li Zhi wrote the order as she said, and said, "Is that good? Just leave it to the queen and ask her to agree, and it can be implemented." In theory, the queen asked her to agree, but in fact, Queen Wang had no say at all. Whatever Li Zhi said was, it was just a formality to go through her.
Wu Meiniang thought about it and said, "Concubine Xiao was tragically killed, which is very unlucky. It's better to change the name of the palace!" Without waiting for Li Zhi to agree, she directly gave a new name: "How about it just called the Enlightenment Hall?"
Li Zhi said: "Enlightenment? This name is good. When others hear it, they know that I have great expectations for Su Jie and everything is thinking about him. If everyone comes, everyone will pay attention to him and ignore Mei Niang." He wrote down and officially changed the name of Concubine Xiao Shu's palace.
After writing, Li Zhi picked up the document, left the hall, opened the door and called a little eunuch, saying, "Leave this to the queen and let her do it. Well, in her name, she ordered it as her sisterly love, and forgave Xiao Shufei for spoiling her a straw man. She is a virtuous queen and understands my painstaking efforts. Also, let her clean up the Xiao family's palace as soon as possible, and replace all the items in the past, so that she can handle it quickly!"
The little eunuch took the document and did not dare to open it and read the contents inside, but thought to himself: "The emperor is so good. I want to win a good reputation for the queen!" He trotted and went to find Queen Wang.
Li Zhi returned to the hall and said with a smile: "Mei Niang, I have ordered the queen to clean up the Enlightenment Hall. It's too late today. Tomorrow one day, I guess you will be able to move in the day after tomorrow. At that time, we won't have to live in Gengyou Hall. It's too secluded and there are few people serving you. I have to worry about everything. I look at it and feel distressed!"
Wu Meiniang said, "Mei Niang is willing to serve the emperor alone!" She smiled and sat on Li Zhi's lap, took off the monk's hat, pointed to the top of her head, and said, "Your Majesty, in just a few days, Meiniang's hair has grown a layer, does it look like a tomboy?"
Her hair had a thin layer, and a little blue color on her head, at least not so dazzling. If you want to describe it, it would be a bit like a strong man who hadn't shaved for two days.
Li Zhi looked at the top of her head and smiled, "Does Mei Niang have hair? They all look the same beautiful!"
The two of them became sweet and sweet.
Queen Wang received Li Zhi's handwritten instructions. After reading it, she felt unhappy and was a little scared. All the little eunuchs she sent out had left the palace. She had already received news from the palace maid Xiu'er, but those little eunuchs were so bad that they didn't deal with Wu Meiniang and ran away with gold and silver. Queen Wang came up with a perfect plan, but the people under her refused to implement it properly. She had no choice but to punish her, but they all ran away. Now it was too late to say anything.
That's fine, but the emperor gave her an order to promote the title of several palace ladies. She saw Yang Chunhua's name at a glance. Isn't the little nun named Yang Chunhua? This is to let the little nun return to secular life and officially become a concubine!
Queen Wang was really angry and sad. What did this happen? She found a little nun for the emperor to relieve her. Now the little nun has transformed into a concubine and has to raise the emperor's youngest son. Forget all this, who asked me to bring her into the palace? But the most annoying thing is that I also commanded the palace servants to clean the palace for the little nun so that she could live more comfortably!
I am the most cowardly person in history!
It would be useless to get angry anymore. Queen Wang could only do things as the emperor's instructions. She copied the document, which was an order she gave. In order to show her solemnity, she specially asked Xiu'er to take it to find Shi Zhongchen. The order was issued layer by layer. Now it was Shi Zhongchen's turn to deal with it!
