Hearing that the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother had handed over the Mid-Autumn Festival matters to the Queen, several seemingly stable and honest concubines were all holding back their energy and wanted to see the Queen's show. After all, this Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and the people in this palace
There are many rules, and everyone in the palace has to pay attention to food, clothing, and use. Everyone is waiting to see how the new queen will arrange it.
After waiting for a few days, there was no movement in the Qiankun Palace. Concubine Rou felt a little uneasy, but now she did not dare to act rashly, so she could only send her personal maid out to inquire, but she still couldn't find out any information.
arrive.
"My dearest concubine, why don't you go to Concubine Jade's place and have a look? Concubine Jade and the queen have some connections outside the palace, and you might know some news!" Hui'er, Concubine Rou's personal maid, quickly whispered an idea.
.
"Well, I'm not the only one in this palace who is waiting to see the Queen's joke. Why do I want to be such a standout? Let's just wait!" Princess Rou waved her hand. She was really afraid of the previous "Queen"
Her handle clutched in her hand.
At this moment, in the Qiankun Palace, Yingrun walked into the flower hall, blessed her body and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent someone here. They said it is almost August 15th. I asked the Queen if she has any orders. I guess those people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs
can not wait anymore!"
Chu Yiqing was painting a landscape painting at the moment. She had been very bored in this palace recently. She had also learned to be arty. After hearing Yingrun's report, she said quietly: "Just do as I said before.
That’s it! Everything outside the palace must be kept secret, otherwise it won’t be a surprise!”
Yingrun pursed her lips and quickly responded.
After hearing the Queen's words, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out of Qiankun Palace dejectedly.[
"Manager, how are you? What did the empress say?" Aunt Zhu led people to greet her.
The head eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shook his head and said: "The Queen just said that if something happens, she will give orders naturally. Let us go back and wait! Aunt Zhu, what kind of 'medicine' do you think the Queen is selling in her gourd?"
Aunt Zhu frowned and whispered: "If that's the case, then go back and wait!"
After Grandma Zhu finished speaking, she quickly took the people away.
The head eunuch frowned and said displeasedly: "This old guy just begged the Za family to ask, but now that there is no news, he is treating the Za family like this. If it wasn't for the sake of the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother..."
The head eunuch snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.
In Ci'an Palace, after hearing Nanny Zhu's reply, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor couldn't help frowning and asked: "Did you say that Aijia didn't speak clearly enough that day? Aijia clearly remembered to ask her to do something big.
Yes, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival now, why is there no movement?”
Aunt Zhu quickly said: "The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor made it clear that day, and the Queen should also be clear. I just don't know if the Queen is aware of it. Now our people are always guarding outside the Qiankun Palace.
!”
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor frowned and whispered: "Withdraw half of the people and leave only some smart ones. The Ai family's target is not the queen, so don't alert her!"
Aunt Zhu responded quickly.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth, but there is still no movement in the Qiankun Palace. This time, even Li Huang can't hold his breath anymore. After finishing his "exercise" in the evening, he put his arm around Chu Yiqing's small waist and played with her.
The hair asked: "How did you arrange this Mid-Autumn Festival? Everyone in the palace craned their necks to watch!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "How did you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years?"
Li Huang raised his lips and smiled: "It's just a banquet for the ministers, eating wine and listening to music. But every Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor always asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare clothes and jewelry for the concubines in the palace.
, because the concubines that the ministers will see at that time will also be the face of the emperor!"
No wonder the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to ask if they had any orders a few days ago. They were worried that if there was anything to prepare or do, it would be too late.
"This time is different from the previous Mid-Autumn Festival. You should also look forward to it!" Chu Yiqing curled his lips.[
"You can't even tell me?" Li Huang raised his eyebrows.
Chu Yiqing nodded, "Just be my strong backing. You must support me tomorrow!"
Li Huang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is natural, I also want to see what is different about your different Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Chu Yiqing curled his lips and waited for a while. Seeing that Li Huang was fast asleep, he got up and went to the prince's room to see Blessing and Abao respectively. Then he walked out of the palace, called Lei Yuan, and whispered instructions
Yes, Lei Yuan nodded quickly and left the palace overnight.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was the envoy with the fragrance of golden chrysanthemums and golden osmanthus and the full atmosphere of autumn. Early in the morning, Li Huang took all the civil and military officials to the back mountain to hold a moon worship ceremony. In the palace, Chu Yiqing
Let people go and notify the masters in each palace, put on simpler clothes, and say that they are going to take the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor and the concubines out of the palace.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor and the concubines have never left the palace since they entered the palace. As soon as they heard that they were leaving the palace, everyone was stunned and ran to the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor for advice.
In Ci'an Palace, Chu Yiqing was personally coming to invite the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was also stunned. Before she could speak, the masters of each palace came to ask for an audience.
"Queen, it's a big deal for the concubine to leave the palace. There have been no such rules in the past dynasties. You can't act like this!" said the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor with a cold face.
Fortunately, she thought that with that person there, the Queen would preside over this Mid-Autumn Festival, and there would be no big trouble. She could follow the clues and find that person, but she didn't expect that Chu Yiqing would be such a fool!
"Holy Ancestor Queen Mother, both the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor have agreed to this matter!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
"The Emperor and the Supreme Emperor agreed?" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor frowned. The Emperor agreed that it was still possible, but the Supreme Emperor...
"Holy Ancestor Queen Mother, it is against the rules for a concubine to leave the palace, but this time she leaves the palace to set an example for the people of the world. What she gets in exchange is a virtuous name, which can be of great benefit but only one harm. Please enlighten the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother!" Chu Yiqing said again!
.
"You just told me about the palace, but you didn't tell me about the palace. How did you gain a reputation as a virtuous person?" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor firmly objected. At this moment, she was also a little annoyed in her heart, angry at Chu Yiqing for taking matters into his own hands.
"After the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother leaves the palace, she will naturally know that if Chu Yiqing does not do well, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother will punish Chu Yiqing!" Chu Yiqing said again.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor frowned. Now that the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor's will were there, if she refused to say so, she would be disobeying the will in front of everyone. Naturally, she could not lose this reputation, so she had to warn again: "Queen, it is a big deal for the concubine to leave the palace, no matter what
You have to be careful in terms of safety and impact. If you can shoulder this responsibility, then let's go out of the palace and have a look!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "If something happens, Chu Yiqing will bear the responsibility!"
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor sneered before agreeing for everyone to leave the palace.
When the queen mothers heard that they were leaving the palace, they were naturally excited. Some of them had been in the palace for twenty years. They had long forgotten what it was like outside. They were very excited now, and they all took their most valuable possessions.
He wears the most gorgeous clothes and the most gorgeous hairpins, just to let the people in the world see how he looks, and also to leave a reputation among the people, so that he will not live in vain.
In the back hall, Chu Yiqing looked at the exquisite costumes and clothes of the concubines. He couldn't help frowning and said with a smile: "To concubines, Yiqing seems to have said that he wants the concubines to change into loose and convenient clothes.
The concubines are dressed like this, so don’t complain for a while!"
When Chu Yiqing said this, everyone looked over and saw that Yiqing was wearing a lake blue children's shirt, paired with a light blue pleated palace skirt, and a blue tie hanging around her waist.
The palace ear has a piece of mutton-fat jade hanging on it, with only a bun on the head, a green magpie on a branch and a pearl swaying on it, and two rice pearl earrings on the ears, which is very elegant and charming.
.
"Empress, your clothes seem too unsuitable for your status, right?" Princess Rou couldn't help covering her lips and said with a smile, "You are leaving the palace after all, and the people outside are watching!"
Chu Yiqing curled his lips and asked the concubines to get on the sedan chair without comment. When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he left all the eunuchs and maids brought by the masters behind, leaving only the sedan bearers.
"Queen, why is this?" The Holy Ancestor Queen Mother couldn't help but ask.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Please believe in Yiqing!"
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor frowned and could only say: "That's all, it's up to you!"
The sedan went all the way out of the palace gate and headed towards the suburbs.
At this moment, in the potato field at the east gate of the city, many farmers are happily growing potatoes. Whenever they encounter a big potato, everyone will shout happily: "I have a big one here!"
When the big guys heard the shouting, they raised their heads, commented, then bent down and continued to look for bigger potatoes.
"Look, who are those people?" Suddenly, everyone saw a group of people walking along the official road on the ground, and their eyes widened in curiosity.
"She seems to be the wife of an official from somewhere. Look at the clothes and jewelry on her body. They are valuable at first sight!" Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Hey, after so many years of living, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman."
Such expensive clothes and jewelry.
Before those people could react, they saw Lei Yuan striding forward, taking out the token in his hand and saying: "The Queen has an order to let you rest for a day. The ladies in the palace will do this for you."
Got it!"
The leader was Hao Sanniang. Upon hearing the order from the Queen, she quickly had people clear the ground and everyone retreated to the hillside not far away.
"Hey, are you really the queen in the palace? The queen in the palace helps us bring out the potatoes?" Some people clicked their tongues in disbelief, opened the tent and looked down hard, fearing that they could not see clearly.
"The one in the leader's blue dress is indeed the Queen, that's right!" Hao Sanniang also squinted her eyes and looked from a distance. After seeing Chu Yiqing, she nodded affirmatively.
"This is an unprecedented rare thing. I have to let my old lady come and see it!" An old man happily went home to find his old lady.
"Yes, I also want to go to the village to say goodbye to everyone! If I miss it, I won't see you for the rest of my life!" Another person ran away.
Soon, the hillside was filled with people, and some people even came from the city after hearing the news.
At this moment, on the ground, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor, who was supported by Ruimin, looked at the mud on the new shoes with lotus branches on her feet, and her face was elongated. Then she raised her eyes and looked around at the people watching the excitement, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice:
"Queen, is this the idea you came up with? Let the Aijia and the concubines do this lowly and dirty work, so that these people will treat us like monkeys, right?"
The concubines kept dusting off their dresses, and each complained in a low voice, but they did not dare to say it out loud.
Chu Yiqing replied: "The words of the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother are wrong. Now the productivity of the four countries is underground, and they are basically based on agriculture. It can be said that the people and the earth are the sky. Everything in this palace, brick by brick, everyone
Most of the food and clothing used by ladies comes from this land. If the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother thinks that agriculture is a low-level and dirty job, how can she be honest?"
The Empress Dowager of the Holy Ancestor was startled and blushed. There were many people in the Li country but little land, and the world's agriculture was related to the prosperity of the world. She naturally knew that she just spilled the beans in a moment of anger, but she didn't expect that she would be caught by Chu Yiqing.
handle.
"Queen, that's not what I meant. She just wanted to collect these potatoes because of our status. It's really a bit..." Ruimin quickly said for the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor.
Chu Yiqing curled his lips lightly and said: "The sages of all ages have said that agriculture is the great cause of the world. Good times and bad times complement each other, and both farmers and farmers benefit from it. Farming focuses on the foundation. The outline of a country is to appoint talents, and to rejuvenate the country is farming.
We are all women in the harem, and only by experiencing the hard work of farming can we be the emperor, the virtuous wife behind the emperor, the empress dowager of the saint, and concubines, don’t you think so?"
Chu Yiqing's words left all the concubines speechless.
Just when the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor and the concubines were having a stalemate with Chu Yiqing, they saw Li Huang coming with all the civil and military officials.
"Emperor, you came just in time, this..." The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor immediately stepped forward as if she had seen a savior.
Li Huang rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Grandma, I agree with this matter. Farming is an urgent matter for the country. Therefore, I have decided to follow the weather to raise wealth, control floods and droughts, and control the barbarians.
Come on, every Mid-Autumn Festival from now on, I will lead all the civil and military officials and the harem to descend half of the sky in person to show the importance I attach to the world's agriculture!"
As Li Huang said that, he picked up a hoe from the side, walked up to Chu Yiqing and winked, then bent down and started working in a long border next to him.
The emperor did it himself, and the civil and military ministers did not dare to be vague. They immediately rolled up their sleeves, those holding hoes took hoes, and those holding baskets took baskets, and went into battle together.
Chu Yiqing looked at Li Huang. This was the first time she saw Li Huang doing farm work. When he was in Shangjia Village, he could only help Zhao Xiaomai chop firewood or something. Now he is holding a hoe, hunched over, and his strong body outlines
With perfect masculine curves and a serious expression, he is completely different from the usual aloof and strategizing emperor.
"Time waits for no one. After the potatoes are out, there are other activities. Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor, ladies and gentlemen, you'd better seize the time!" Chu Yiqing finally withdrew his gaze, cheered up, and asked Yingrun to take all kinds of things.
Tools for the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor and the concubines.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor weighed the penis in her hand and her eyes widened. She had never seen this thing in her life, so naturally she didn't know how to use it.
Concubine Rou was carrying the basket in her hand. The joint on the basket accidentally caught her brocade clothes. She immediately let out a low cry in distress.
"Once it's clear, let's just show it off, there's no need to do it for real, right?" Li Huang led all the civil and military officials to do it, and the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother couldn't say anything else at this moment and asked in a low voice.
After Chu Yiqing carried Fenfenhuai, bang, bang, bang, and broke the bones, he naturally wanted to do it for real. All the people were watching! But the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor is old, so just stand aside. Let us
Come young people!”
It was the first time that the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was called old. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say anything and had to stand aside.
Princess Rou gritted her teeth. She had the leverage in Chu Yiqing's hands. If she resisted blindly, it would only be detrimental to herself, so she stepped forward and said with a smile: "In that case, let's just treat it as a joke and experience the peasants' power."
Life is not bad!”
Before Concubine Jade and Concubine Ying came, they had already received letters from their families, and they had already prepared in their hearts, so they agreed.
Seeing that the three of them had agreed, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor could only nod her head and said: "Well, let's give the Queen some face. After all, it was the Queen who finally came up with the idea!"
Chu Yiqing could hear the sarcasm in her words, but he didn't care about it at all. He took the 鬬鬬鬬雳斤拷 and demonstrated it to everyone, "Please take a look at it, the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor and all the concubines, put one hand in front, and
With one hand behind you, you have spotted the potato and swung it down. You have to slowly dig it out from the side. Potatoes usually have roots to pull them out. It is best to pull them out with your hands. This can reduce the risk of scratching the potato.
Once it gets a hole, it’s not easy to store, it’s easy to rot, and it’s worthless!”
As Chu Yiqing spoke, he quickly pulled out a pile of potatoes. Yingrun quickly put them into a basket behind her and carried them on the pile of potatoes on one side.
Concubine Jade first lifted up her penis and used it to lift two inches of waste chlorine, but the soil was not moved at all.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's raining here. If it hadn't rained, the ground would still be hard. Princess Jade, please use your strength!"
Situ Yu'er had no choice but to nod, and worked hard to dry the hairpin with oil. With another effort, the pearl hairpin slipped off her head and fell into the soil.
"Oh, my butterfly jade hairpin!" Situ Yu'er quickly picked it up. As soon as he picked it up, his delicate nails were stained with dirt, and he was stunned for a moment.
Yingrun brought the basket forward and said, "Concubine Jade, why don't you pick the potatoes, and I'll dig them!"
Concubine Jade was so sad that she had no choice but to respond.
Yingrun took the waste chlorine and pulled out a big potato. She shouted happily: "Jade Princess, look at it, this potato is so big!"
Concubine Jade was desperately wiping her nails with a brocade silk handkerchief. She didn't care about that, so she responded and put the basket towards Yingrun.
Yingrun sighed, had no choice but to throw the potatoes into the basket, and then continued to dig.
Over there, the pairing of Concubine Ying and Concubine Rou also had frequent accidents. Both of them were wearing floor-length skirts. You stepped on me, and I stepped on you. The potatoes were not dug out, but they sat on the ground.
"Haha!" The people who were watching the excitement in the distance burst out laughing when they saw the embarrassment of the concubines, but in everyone's heart, they were all tender and a little moved.
Of the four countries in the world, only the emperor and the women in his harem are willing to work in the fields. The emperor attaches so much importance to agriculture, and they will not be able to do anything wrong in their future lives!
