Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Cuihua Palace

"Your Majesty, a palace servant just brought news that the Imperial Concubine was very angry in Yongning Palace."

Yunxiang walked quickly to Concubine De and reported the information she had received in a low voice.

Concubine De was practicing calligraphy in the study. This was a habit she had developed since childhood and she had not changed it even after entering the palace for many years.

Putting down the writing brush, she took the handkerchief handed to her by Yunxiang and wiped her palms. Defei asked what made the imperial concubine unhappy. "Although she always likes to find fault for no reason, she doesn't get angry at everyone."

In other words, the imperial concubine has a serious sense of hierarchy. People who are not pleasing to her have no sense of existence in her eyes, unless something directly crosses her bottom line.

Yunxiang smiled and said, "The master is smart."

Is there really something wrong?

The expression on Concubine De's face was much lighter. "Tell me, is it related to the concubines who are about to enter the palace?"

Yunxiang nodded, "Among them, there is a concubine's daughter of a third-rank lieutenant general who was personally canonized as a concubine by the emperor."

Concubine De: ...

De Fei had a playful expression, "Jie Yu is a third-rank official, so it shouldn't be possible."

Yunxiang explained, "The Empress had originally decided on her rank as the sixth-rank Baolin, but after her name was sent to the Qianqing Palace for the Emperor to review, she became the third-rank Jieyu when it came out."

They had no idea what happened during that time, but they were sure that it was related to the emperor.

Perhaps it was because the Queen had gone too far that the Emperor got angry and changed the position of one of them.

As for why this person was Concubine Shen, Yunxiang was also a little confused.

De Fei handed the cleaned handkerchief back to Yun Xiang, "The Queen and the Emperor were fighting, maybe Concubine Shen was just too lucky, she was easily chosen as a Concubine.

It can't be that the Emperor knew about Concubine Shen and raised her rank on purpose."

Even during the interview, the two parties had never met formally, so how could the emperor recognize Concubine Shen's appearance?

Concubine De put the most unlikely (most likely) hypothesis behind her, then left the table, walked to the couch, took out a book and read it.

Yunxiang stood back slightly, took out a small and exquisitely crafted wooden hammer and hit her master's legs back and forth.

Until Concubine De mentioned the concubines in Yongning Palace who had never seen the emperor's face, "How is the contact? The new concubines entering the palace is a good opportunity. Do they have the courage to fight for wealth and honor for themselves?"

During the interview, she came face to face with the Imperial Concubine, and used the topic of Concubine Tang to bring up the matter of Yongning Palace. After all, as long as she could make the Imperial Concubine unhappy, Defei herself would be very happy.

Yunxiang smiled and explained that she had already discussed it with those people, "Two of them said they wanted to thank the queen for her support, but the rest had the heart but not the courage."

Concubine De sneered and turned the page of the book in her hand. "That's a pity. My kindness is rare. Since you can't seize the opportunity, you can die of old age in Yongning Palace."

Everyone knows about the imperial concubine's bad character. She will never get ahead if she stays in Yongning Palace.

"The master is kind-hearted. It is a great blessing that he can provide a little help. It is those people who are asking for more." What does it mean to be powerless? It's because he is afraid that if he fails, he will directly offend the imperial concubine and die a more miserable death.

Thinking of playing a pitiful role or trying to take advantage of the situation to get the master to make a profit, ha! The abacus beads are about to pop out, their Cuihua Palace is not a charity.

"Whether you can succeed or not depends entirely on your own ability. You should know that there have been many examples of palace maids ascending to higher positions in recent years. Could it be that they are born as daughters of official families, but cannot compare to slaves of low birth?"

Defei was also good at making sarcastic remarks, and Yunxiang was also attacked indiscriminately.

rue:……

Yunxiang had long been accustomed to the fact that her master would easily lose control whenever he met the imperial concubine. Anyway, when her master got angry, he would even scold her, so what did it matter if he scolded her? She could just pretend not to hear it.

Shen Yao outside the palace was unaware of the excitement in the palace. After all, no matter how gossipy the system was, it would not tell her all the news without reservation.

Shen Yao is now busy packing up things, organizing luggage and arranging personnel in the courtyard.

One must bring someone with him when entering the palace. Those above the third rank can bring two personal maids, those above the fourth and fifth rank can bring one personal maid, and those below the fifth rank have no personal maids and can only be assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Shen Yao originally thought that it would be enough to get a fifth-rank talent or a fourth-rank beauty and bring a little fortune with her, but the emperor gave her a huge surprise, so she had to prepare to choose another person.

"Host can talk to Madam Shen," the system suggested, because matters in the inner house have always been the responsibility of the women in the family.

"Then Madam Shen took the opportunity to secretly trip me up, and I waited for the right time to retaliate?"

Shen Yao took up the conversation without thinking, saying that she was not that free, and competing with Mrs. Shen would affect her career too much. Moreover, it would be very unprofitable to sacrifice the entire Shen family just to deal with Mrs. Shen.

"Just choose one from the courtyard. As long as the servant has no connection with the palace, he will not become our enemy."

Shen Yao didn't have high demands on her personal maid, who was required to be obedient, sensible, loyal and honest. After all, she didn't enter the palace to fight with those people in the harem, so as long as the people under her didn't let her down, they would be considered qualified.

system:……

The host's request was surprisingly simple and clear. By the way, the imperial decree of enthronement from the palace should also be sent out. The third rank is already considered the master of a palace, so there should be a lot of things that can be brought into the palace.

It's not just a lot, it can be doubled on the original basis. Or is it that the Shen family is too conservative? They should learn from the family of Zheng Daxueshi, whose daughter was awarded the second rank of grooming, which is not much different from their own family.

After receiving the imperial edict conferring the title of third-rank imperial concubine on Shen Yao, the Shen family members immediately got busy.

Shen Chunbai even told Mrs. Shen not to be stingy and to take whatever was in the warehouse as it was not a private warehouse, so she should not be reluctant to give.

Mrs. Shen: ...

Before Mrs. Shen could start crying, making a fuss, or even threatening to commit suicide to complain, Shen Changyu said that he would increase the money he had collected from her, which made Mrs. Shen lose her defense again.

Shen Yao was only conferred the title of a third-rank imperial concubine, so why was she still eating and taking so much? Did she really think that the Shen family was a phoenix nest made of gold? No, no!

"Mom, both father and son support and agree on this matter.

The son advised his mother not to be clever. The fourth sister would be the mistress of the palace when she entered it. What an honor it would be for the Shen family.

Mother, don't you want your third sister to marry the cousin of the Yuan family? With your fourth sister as your backer in the palace, why would you worry about not being able to pick a son-in-law from a noble family? "

What are you thinking? There is a visibly opportunity to bring you closer, but you push it away just for a few taels of silver.

If I don't give my fourth sister a little more, do I have to keep the money in the treasury to support my half-brother?

Shen Changyu would rather have concubines and sisters who entered the palace cheaply than have several half-siblings in the family.

Mrs. Shen was successfully convinced by Shen Changyu's words. Although she was still muttering to herself, she at least knew that she should spend money to build closer relations.

Shen Yao looked at the wooden box sent from the main courtyard, which contained several stacks of silver bills of different denominations.

In addition to silver notes, there was also some bulk silver and gold. In short, all the currencies that could be used for transactions were sent over by Mrs. Shen.

Shen Yao:......

"My cheap father doesn't have this ability, this must be Shen Changyu's work."

Compared to Shen Chunbai, who can only talk and Mrs. Shen doesn't listen to him, Shen Changyu is Mrs. Shen's sweetheart. Even though Mrs. Shen usually shows that she likes Shen Changhe and Shen Rong more, she knows clearly who she will rely on for her future.

"The host is smart. It was Shen Changyu who convinced Mrs. Shen and made her let go of some unnecessary worries." The system has eavesdropped on the conversation between the mother and son. It can only be said that Shen Changyu is a talented person with great potential. With him in the future of the Shen family, they will be successful no matter what they do.

After opening the wooden box and admiring the banknotes inside, Shen Yao put them away and stored them in the space. She looked out the window and said, "I will be leaving for the palace in five days. I wonder how lively the palace will be."

In this selection and enthronement, there were four people who were ranked above the third rank. Except for Shen Yao who got lucky, the other three were of the lowest second rank. Among them, the daughter of a first-rank general was awarded the title of third-rank concubine. This shows the embarrassing status of military generals in the State of Yu.

However, it was this embarrassing situation that allowed the Shen family to see the possibility of gaining momentum.

The border is unstable and people are needed.

However, so many generals, deputy generals and lieutenant generals of the Yu State were stationed in the capital. The reason was that the emperor was afraid that they would gain military power and threaten the throne.

Even if something happened on the border, the emperor would quickly recall the people he sent to deal with it, for fear that keeping the tiger talisman for even a second longer would cause losses to his side.

Being so cautious and timid, it is against the will of heaven that the State of Yu could not be defeated.

"Hey, I'm looking forward to life in the palace. I really hope time can pass faster."

Shen Yao held her chin and sighed unconsciously. Although she looked calm on the surface, the fire called "ambition" in her heart had already burned and could not be extinguished.

It's like a chessboard covered with stars, with dots of light constantly attracting people into the vortex.

…………

Five days later in the morning, Shen Yao set out from the Shen family, taking Xiaofu and Xiaoji with her, and boarded a carriage to the palace.

The mood was different from the last time I entered the palace. This time I felt calm as everything had settled.

Without having to get off the car in front of the city gate or be checked by the maids in the palace, Shen Yao arrived outside Furong Palace. Supported by Xiaofu and Xiaoji, she saw the residence where she would live for the next few decades.

Signaling Xiaofu to send away the waiting palace servants, Shen Yao walked into Furong Palace.

Fengyi Palace

The queen was still kneeling in the small Buddhist temple, chanting scriptures and praying, but today was different from usual. She opened her mouth and asked about the concubines who had entered the palace today.

Nanny Gui said that everything went well, "Tomorrow I will formally pay my respects to the Empress, and after the green card is hung up, I can officially sleep with her."

Originally, new concubines entering the palace were required to rest for three days, but since there had been no signs of pregnancy or child in the palace for a long time, the emperor now spends more than twenty days in the harem every month, so some unimportant rules were abolished early on.

"You don't need to come to see me tomorrow. Just bow in front of the palace gate."

The Queen's words intensified Nanny Gui's anger. The more willful the master behaved, the less respect the Emperor would give her. How could the Queen not learn her lesson?

Nanny Gui said earnestly, "Your Majesty, a new concubine enters the palace and attracts much attention from both the front and back courts. Why do you have to act like this?"

The Queen insisted, "Mammy, I have made up my mind. There is no need to persuade me anymore."

Aunt Gui:......
