Chapter 2857 Consummation of Marriage
Qian'er took the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing the many accounts in front of her, she smiled and said, "The affairs in the palace are complicated, so don't just tire yourself out."
Caicai smiled and said: "There is no way, there are few people in the palace, so I really can't help."
"My mother has not paid much attention to the affairs of the harem these years."
"I can't compete with someone as smart as my mother. What's more, my mother has the help of Concubine Qi and Concubine Jin, and I don't have half a person around me." Caicai spread his hands, "A group of palace maids were released a few days ago, and those who came in But there are not many, so I have to wait closely with the queen mother and concubines. I was thinking..."
"You want to draft?" Qian'er said what she wanted to say.
Caicai smiled and said: "What do you think? As a rule, after the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be a draft. There has been no draft in the palace for several years. Now that the mother's spirit is slowly recovering, I want to take this opportunity to hold a draft. The general election also makes my mother happy."
"What's the point of being happy about a draft?"
"The Queen Mother is always idle, and she will have random thoughts in her mind. It is better to find something for her to do and move around." Caicai said, "In this election, in addition to adding maids to the palace, we should also choose some concubines for the emperor. . I can’t be the only one to serve such a large harem.”
After hearing this, Qian'er put down her tea cup and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, have you and the emperor consummated your marriage?"
Caicai blushed: "A girl like you says such things."
"Why can't you say it without it sticking to your mouth?"
"My mother is getting better, and you are starting to become naughty. I don't know who it was, but you were always crying a few days ago." Caicai looked at her sideways.
"Don't change the subject, I'm asking you seriously."
"No." Caicai blushed, "After the late emperor passed away, we have to observe filial piety. Your imperial brother said that we must observe filial piety for at least one year, and we will not consummate the marriage if we don't eat meat. Besides, we didn't plan to consummate the marriage in the past two years. .”
She was still a few months away from getting haircut, and the wedding was held in advance because of the late emperor's illness.
It's still too early to consummate the marriage.
Qian'er said: "You haven't consummated your marriage yet, so you are in a hurry to choose a concubine for the emperor. Aren't you afraid that another concubine will give birth to the emperor's eldest son first in the future?"
"Children are fate. I won't force it, nor will I be jealous over such a thing." Caicai smiled softly, "I just want to be able to take good care of the harem and not let your brother worry about it. Let him be able to Rule the country with peace of mind.”
Qian'er said: "The Queen Mother chose you because of her vision."
"Stop talking so much." Cai Cai asked, "Have you heard that your mother is going out?"
"Yes, I dressed fresh and refreshing, and I didn't drink alcohol." Qian'er was happy, "You said you were going out for a walk. Does this mean that the queen is about to get well?"
"It's difficult." Caicai shook his head, "The queen only looks better on the outside, but she can't be better in her heart."
"Right." Qian'er sighed.
"So, I thought of doing something fun to keep my mother busy, adding more people to the palace and making it more lively. Although it is stable now, it is still too calm after all."
"If we say it is deserted, it probably means that during the years when my father was the emperor, he only doted on his mother and his queen. The emperor's grandfather was very lively at that time."
"That's too lively." Although Cai Cai has never seen it, he has heard that when King Cheng rebelled, there were hundreds of concubines in the palace, plus the maids who served him.
That’s countless.
It's spectacular.
