After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

The old lady is really excellent and what she teaches is very practical.

Flower arranging, tea brewing, spice preparation, palace etiquette... all kinds of skills and precautions, big and small, filled up sheets of paper.

Unlike other officials' families, the Jiang family is very obsessed with allowing women to enter the palace.

In order to maintain the family's status and save its declining reputation, the head of the Jiang family often used the tactic of marrying women off.

The best way to form an alliance is with the royal family.

Money can move people's hearts, let alone a place where there is both money and power.

The heads of other families naturally also planned to send girls of appropriate age into the palace.

After all, there is only one position of queen, but who wouldn’t be tempted by the position of mother of the country?

Now that it has been occupied by the Chu family, the rest of the people have stopped thinking about it and started to train the next generation of people who may be the mother of the country.

Some people know that they cannot compete and just want to have a place in the harem.

Your Majesty's favor is real.

Rare jewelry, or more practically, promotion for family members.

Therefore, what they learned more was how to gain the favor of His Majesty and the "ways of survival" in the harem!

But all the major families only cultivate these things behind closed doors.

The Jiang family's ambition is well known to everyone.

In the family, no matter whether it is the collateral branch or the main branch, they will be taught by the nanny about the etiquette of the palace.

Those who study well will have the opportunity to enter the palace and participate in the selection, but those who are descendants of the royal family are not among those who compete for the spot.

The head of the Jiang family hopes that the people in the harem will be his descendants, so as to consolidate his position in the Jiang family.

They also made another backup plan. In case the direct descendant was not chosen, a smart one would be adopted from the side branch.

In the end, he will definitely enter the palace in the name of the direct descendant.

One of the concubines in the current harem was adopted from the second wife.

The standard of "intelligence" was determined by the nanny.

The Jiang family member who was in the same period as Bai's mother was ranked first, and Bai's mother...

With the demise of the previous dynasty, the name of that nanny could no longer be found. All we knew was that when the imperial city was breached, she hid in the cold palace with the others.

There are more crazy people than normal people in that place.

Even the army led by His Majesty today was reluctant to set foot in this place when they were trying to break into the city.

It was not until the entire imperial city was purged later that an order was issued to "deal with" the madman inside.

When they were found, they were hiding in a small kitchen.

Some were so scared that they huddled in the stove, some hid in water tanks, and even the dry well in the yard was occupied by people.

Those people were mentally normal, but they were still a little dazed when they were brought out by the officers and soldiers.

The emperor of the previous dynasty was extremely licentious, and officials from all over the country had to pay "tribute" to him, and these lunatics were among them.

When these maids were young, they were the dowry maids of the crazy men.

Because these concubines were banished to the cold palace, they were also assigned to do rough work in various places in the palace.

They are often bullied, beaten and scolded, and when they get old they have some scars on their bodies.

Some of them were lucky enough to be favored by the royal family, especially the emperors of the previous dynasty. They were thought to be on the rise, but many times they might die on the first night.

Most of them have experienced torture, so their escape routes are very unique.

He would rather return to those crazy concubines and find the illusory sense of security of "returning to nature" than escape from the imperial city.

When His Majesty heard about their experiences, he asked them to do odd jobs in the imperial farm, as the government was short of manpower at that time.

It was not until the late queen was brought into the palace that they were reused by His Majesty.

I don’t know if these people have lost some warmth in their hearts because of what they experienced when they were young.

In the palace, His Majesty gave them enough power, and they gradually began to enjoy the pleasure brought by power and became more "fair".

His Majesty was also happy to see such "fairness". After all, he did not have so much time to consider the gentle side at the moment.

During that period, it was the brightest time in the palace. They held whips in their hands and punished the disobedient or lazy palace maids.

In their eyes, only hard work can lead to success.

The people in the weaving room were not skilled in their craft and damaged the cloth, so they were beaten;

The documents and records of the Shanggong Bureau were unclear, so they were also beaten;

The instruments that the Shangyi Bureau cleaned recently were not clean enough, so they still...

In the past, minor mistakes that could be avoided by spending some money would now receive the due punishment in their hands.

Even if it was a concubine, if she violated etiquette, she would be beaten with the whip.

After being beaten, the concubine went to the palace to cry and complain, thinking that she could get the emperor's attention or be appeased by some practical benefits.

However, His Majesty told her that the punishment for the nanny was relatively light, so he punished her again separately.

From that moment on, everyone who was sober knew that His Majesty never wanted a woman, but just a chess piece to balance the court.

If this chess piece is valuable, he will be favored. If it is a worthless woman, he will have to keep a low profile.

Those who don't know what's best for them will naturally be replaced by new pieces.

These thunderous measures also helped His Majesty to consolidate the situation in the harem and the front court as quickly as possible.

The whips in the hands of those maids were used almost every day in every corner of the palace, which invisibly intimidated many new palace maids and eunuchs.

Those whips are like "happiness traps" of their rights, and they use these "happiness" to make up for the sufferings they endured when they were young.

This is the case in the palace, and in the officials' homes, they are even more unscrupulous because they have the royal label.

The Jiang family’s first class was not held indoors, but in an empty yard.

The yard is the most remote room in the Jiang family. No one has ever lived in it. At its best, it is used to store miscellaneous items.

As the Jiang family's descendants were not as numerous as in the past, many courtyards became vacant, and this courtyard was one of them.

There were several large holes in the tiled house in the yard, and weeds were growing around it. The trees that were often trimmed in the past were growing in a disorderly manner.

Compared to this, the temporary residence arranged for the nanny next door can be said to be low-key and luxurious.

The four treasures of the study on the Jiang family girl's desk alone are enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for several years.

The most direct feeling was when Bai's mother came to Dayang Village and realized how luxurious her past life had been.

The day when Nanny came to the Jiang family was the hottest day of the summer.

Everyone was gathered in the front hall in the morning and greeted the nanny one by one.

The gift-giving process alone took the entire morning.

The other branches of the Jiang family knew that this was an opportunity to change their family's destiny. As long as they were chosen for adoption, the compensation for their lineage would be considerable.

Therefore, this gift-giving session has become the first "comparison" in this learning trip.
