After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 269: Death of the Late Queen
Bai's mother's love for Bai Qingyun is always so strong.
She is so lucky, but her daughter may not be!
Looking at the outstanding Bai Qingyun, she was naturally satisfied with everything.
But when I thought about being ridiculed in the future because I knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting and only knew how to wield swords and guns, I began to feel worried.
Bai's mother humbly asked: "What should we do according to what Madam Su said?"
Bai Qingyun's twitching eyelids seemed to be attached to a vibrator when his mother asked this question.
The food on the table has been cleared away by everyone, and even the grease on the table has been wiped clean.
If the front yard hadn't retained its old furniture style, the two would probably have moved to the sofa to chat.
Bai Qingyun's eyes turned again and again, trying to find an opportunity.
Then Bai Qingyun appeared out of thin air and turned into a set of tea sets. He used tweezers to take out a few tea leaves from the wooden tea box.
Bai's mother has often seen Bai Qingyun using space in front of her recently, so she was not surprised that something appeared out of thin air.
What concerned Bai's mother even more was that Mrs. Su looked normal, as if she was watching a very ordinary thing.
Knowing the status of Su Niangzi in her daughter's heart, she was more convinced of the close relationship between the two, and she subconsciously trusted her more.
Madam Su watched Bai Qingyun's actions, deliberately slowed down her voice, and waited for the tea to be brewed and handed to her.
Bai Qingyun was just about to change the subject and praise Su Niangzi's tea art in front of Bai's mother when he heard the man speak.
"The best thing would definitely be to hire someone to teach you at home. But..."
Bai's mother also heard the hesitation in Su Niangzi's heart. Her life experience was no secret in the family, so she spoke with confidence.
"To be honest, my family did hire a famous teacher to teach me when I was a child. At the beginning... my grandfather specially invited a tutor from the palace."
"That nanny...taught the late queen."
The former queen was a common-born queen and the biological mother of the eldest prince and princess.
The queen came from the common people and did not understand the etiquette of the imperial palace, so she naturally became the target of criticism from the aristocratic families and officials.
His Majesty specially sought out the old men who served in the palace of the previous dynasty, and selected many people with clean family backgrounds, and placed them by the Queen's side to teach them etiquette and help them deal with many matters in the harem.
However, no matter how clean a person's family background is, once they enter the palace, they will be influenced by the environment.
The people of the aristocratic family reached out to this group of people, and among them there were several people who were bribed.
The late queen died the following year, and it was also because of the people around her who played a role in her death.
His Majesty was not stupid either, and he immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the palace maids and nannies around him.
At that time, the dynasty had just been established and the harem was as leaky as a sieve. Even if someone was not in the capital, a palace maid who did menial work could be a spy for an official.
Although it will not bring huge benefits, it will not make you blind and deaf, and you can learn about the developments in the palace in a timely manner.
Such people are easy to find. You don’t have to spend time and money to cultivate them from childhood. You can just spend some money to recruit them.
Those who are truly of some use are those who have been trained since childhood by aristocratic families and placed in various palaces to play a role at critical moments.
In order to protect these people, they might follow the example of others and put up a few obvious obstacles to attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, Your Majesty's thorough investigation was not difficult, and was even unexpectedly smooth.
Just looking at the list of people behind me, I was shocked for a long time.
The founding emperor was not a kind person, and his environment did not allow him to become a merciful monarch.
Everyone who was investigated was punished.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs who were responsible for delivering the message were beaten with a stick and then expelled from the palace in a high-profile manner.
Their families had previously received benefits from the person behind the scenes, and were now frightened by such a scene, and did not even dare to come out to take their loved ones home.
A few brave ones tremblingly supported their injured relatives, and endured the pointing and criticizing of the people around them, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
Those palace maids were fine, except that they had trouble getting married. But if they really humbled themselves and found a peasant, they could still live out their lives, at most they would be a little poor.
But the eunuchs who entered the palace were all castrated.
In this world, apart from the imperial palace, there is not much space for them to survive.
It would be best if Your Majesty values me and I can return home in glory, with dignity and money, and no worries about food and drink.
Even if he was not valued, the many years he spent in the palace were enough for him to buy a house, a shop or a few acres of land, which was considered a good life.
But now, they were thrown out of the palace and were not allowed to take anything from the palace.
Even the outer clothes made in the weaving room were stripped off.
When being beaten with a stick, one only wears one's inner clothes. If one wears something thicker underneath, it is considered good, as there will only be a layer of blood stains on the surface, and the injuries inside will be less serious.
If she was like a palace maid, she would be wearing thin clothes, not only would it be covered with blood, but there would even be some torn flesh on it.
But no matter how thick or thin the beating is, there will be no light punishment when His Majesty personally orders it.
These people, one by one, were thrown to one side of the palace gate, unable to walk or move, and some were even frightened to faint.
The people outside the palace are very curious about eunuchs, and when they hear about it, they will rush to join in the fun.
In the past, outsiders were prohibited from staying outside the palace gate. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw you, they would not only expel you but also arrest you and interrogate you to determine whether you had any bad intentions towards the person in the palace.
But now, the people were allowed to watch. In order to maintain normal order, more people were deliberately released to keep the people within a controllable range and ensure normal traffic at the palace gate.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that all this was done at the behest of His Majesty.
These people do not take the imperial power seriously, and their crimes are not serious. If they are let off easily, wouldn't it be too easy for them?
Therefore, Your Majesty not only punishes these people openly, but also uses this method intentionally or unintentionally to destroy their self-esteem, making their future survival difficult.
At least, in the future, it will be difficult for them to work in the circle of the powerful.
Although the rich and powerful are powerful, they are not stupid enough to go directly against the royal family.
These people want people that the royal family doesn't want. Don't they think their lives are too long?
It can be said that although they are alive in the second half of their lives, life is worse than death.
The most ideal situation is to marry into a good family. The rest are sold into brothels or sold as slaves to neighboring countries such as the Xiongnu and Goryeo.
Even after getting married, one still has to hope that the master behind him is a good person.
Otherwise, not only will you die, but your parents' family and your husband's family will also be in danger.
How could someone who might have spied on the royal family be described as kind?
