Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 7 Cannon Fodder Concubine (7)
Wei Jingyi was so angry about her family's ability to hold her back that she tried to calm down but couldn't help complaining to the nanny beside her.
Nanny is Wei Jingyi's wet nurse, and has been serving her since she was born.
No matter how harsh Wei Jingyi's words are now, when something really happens in the Duke's Mansion, she will be the most anxious one. This is because in this world, a woman's support comes from her parents' family, her husband's family and her children.
This is the upbringing that women receive from birth, and it cannot be easily changed.
The Imperial Concubine Zhou, who was being talked about by Wei Jingyi, was currently lying in the main hall of Chaoyang Palace, eating the fruit that had been washed by her maid.
Concubine Zhou's original name was Zhou Ningyan. Although she was a concubine's daughter, her family background was outstanding and her father was the right prime minister of the current dynasty.
Under the premise that no one was sent to the palace for the Left Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor's Mansion, who had the same official position as her, Zhou Ningyan was considered the number one person in the harem because of her family background, and even the Queen's Duke's Mansion could not be compared with her.
Zhou Ningyan is very beautiful, with a calm and clear aura lingering around her.
She was a very bookish woman. Although her identity as a concubine's daughter was shameful, Zhou Ningyan was raised by her stepmother since she was a child, so there was absolutely no problem with her upbringing. In addition, she participated in the selection in the second year of Emperor Yuanhe's accession to the throne, which was the first year of Emperor Yuanhe's change of reign title. She was a concubine when she entered the palace, and was directly promoted to noble concubine the next year. From then on, she was favored forever.
For example, nowadays, Zhou Ningyan's food and drinks are on par with the empress. Sometimes, Emperor Yuanhe even grants her some extra tributes that even the empress doesn't have. If you look closely, it's still hard to tell whose status is higher, hers or the empress's.
"My lady, this fruit is produced in a farm outside the city. Although it tastes good, eating too much is harmful to your health.
Your Majesty has been taking medicines that are good for fertility recently, and the imperial physician has advised you not to eat too many cold foods."
Seeing that her master was busy, the maidservant couldn't help but whisper something.
Snapped--
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I am wrong."
The exquisite fruit plate rolled directly to the ground with a crisp sound, and the plump and juicy fruits instantly covered the entire floor of the hall.
Zhou Ningyan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She had a delicate nose, cherry lips, and skin as white as snow. She seemed easy to get along with when she didn't speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her fierce aura would instantly destroy the already gentle picture.
"Wen He, you've overstepped your bounds."
There are some things that should be said and shouldn’t be said. Isn’t that the self-cultivation of a maid?
Zhou Ningyan hated it most when people talked about her body. She had been in the palace for six years and there had been no news of pregnancy, which was the biggest pain in her heart.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, madam."
Wen He didn't dare to explain more. He just lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and kept admitting his mistake and apologizing.
Zhou Ningyan didn't say much, she just looked at Wen He who was kneeling in front of her.
When Wen He's forehead was bruised and purple, she stretched out her hand and waved it casually.
"Get up, forget it this time, but next time, you don't have to stay by my side and serve me."
Tsk, such consequences are only slightly more serious than being sent out of the palace.
Wen He thanked him quickly, and after he got up, he did not forget to pick up the fruits that had fallen on the ground, for fear that he was slow and would affect his master's mood.
Zhou Ningyan was so upset by these words that she dropped the half-read book in her hand and got up from the bed.
"Recently, my family has sent me a few more fertility-enhancing prescriptions. Take them to the imperial physician at the Imperial Medical Bureau for a look. If there is no problem with the prescriptions, continue to use them."
Now the queen's legitimate son is two years old. If she doesn't hurry up, when the concubine who entered the palace this time becomes pregnant, she will have to adopt the children born to other people.
Zhou Ningyan clenched her palms, not caring even though her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
In the end, I don't want to go to the last step.
……
Just imagine how it feels like to be carried into the palace in a sedan chair.
Shen Yao would definitely answer that dizziness and nausea would be a problem.
It was only when Shen Yao came to this interface that she realized she had a bad habit of getting dizzy.
Well, it’s not really dizziness, it’s just that Shen Yao wasn’t used to it. The sedan chair was shaking back and forth, and when we arrived at the palace where Shen Yao lived, my head was still dizzy and not very clear.
"Mrs. Shen, we're here."
A sharp and piercing sound came from outside the sedan.
Shen Yao first calmed down, then put her hand on Qiuyue and walked out.
Looking up, there is a beautiful little garden.
Although it was September and the weather was cool, the garden was full of flowers and the air was filled with fragrance.
Shen Yao smiled and looked at the eunuch who was dressed as a eunuch and was leading the way.
"Good public security"
"Mrs. Shen is being polite"
The eunuch who led the way had already taken the purse that Qiuyue stuffed into his hand before he came in.
Right now, this person looks at Shen Yao with a pleasing look in his eyes.
"Mrs. Shen, this is the Weiyang Palace where you will live from now on.
There is no queen in the main hall of Weiyang Palace. The Fuqiu Pavilion not far from the side hall is home to two nobles who entered the palace three years ago. They are both masters who like to keep a low profile and rarely go out. "
The eunuch who led the way led Shen Yao in and whispered to her about the layout of Weiyang Palace.
In addition to the two noble ladies just mentioned, the Begonia Pavilion in the rear hall of the Weiyang Palace is home to the concubines and selected ladies who entered the palace earlier.
Shen Yao lives in the Hehuan Palace, which is right next to the Weiyang Palace. It is the closest to the Weiyang Palace and she can occasionally come to the Weiyang Palace for a walk. After all, the Weiyang Palace does not have a main queen yet.
Connected to Shen Yao's Hehuan Palace is Songxue Residence, where lives Concubine Wu, who was selected in the same year as Shen Yao. She is one rank higher than Shen Yao because Concubine Wu's biological father is a fourth-rank official.
All this information was revealed to Shen Yao by the eunuch who was the guide.
He not only led the eunuch to get the money and do the work, but also introduced the remaining six people who came in at the same time as Shen Yao.
Shen Yao didn't remember much, but she knew that the concubine who was named Chen Pin lived in Fuyang Palace, which was some distance away from her. It was said that the situation there was even more chaotic, and there were more people living there below the rank of concubine.
Shen Yao: ...Wouldn’t it be very lively?
It is said that three women make a drama, but just around the Weiyang Palace where Shen Yao lives, there are seven people in total. Wow, there are so many women in the harem.
He also asked Qiuyue to give a large bag of silver to the eunuch who was leading the way.
Shen Yao entered the Hehuan Palace and met the two eunuchs and four palace maids who were originally serving in the Hehuan Palace.
Smiling, Shen Yao asked the six people some brief questions and wrote down their names. Then, she asked Qiuyue to take people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to retrieve her luggage and dowry, while she went into the palace to rest.
Before Shen Yao moved in, Hehuan Hall had been vacant for many years.
So there was a faint musty smell in the air in the room.
Shen Yao thought that after the dowry was brought back, she would ask Qiuyue to take out some spices.
Not only that, the decoration inside the room was too empty and unpopular. Shen Yao felt that it was not good and needed to be rearranged.
If she calculates carefully, she has a lot of things to do. She has only three days of adjustment time after entering the palace, so she will have to use it sparingly.
But don’t worry, just do it one by one, and you will finish it eventually.
Shen Yao had a good attitude. Even though she saw that the Hehuan Palace did not meet her aesthetic standards, Shen Yao just took note of it and waited to make changes later.
Unlike other concubines who entered the palace, she was noisy and dissatisfied, exposing her own shortcomings.
"master"
Qiuyue held the account book in her hand and presented it to Shen Yao with a respectful look on her face.
Shen Yao took it casually and handed a rosewood box to Qiuyue.
"You are the maid I brought in. In the entire palace, you are the person I trust the most.
The key to the warehouse is with you, and you are required to keep an eye on the things in the warehouse at all times.
In this wooden box, there are three thousand taels of silver notes and some small gold and silver coins for our daily use.
Once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to get out in the future. You just need to remember that we are master and servant, and we live and die together. If you betray me for the sake of profit, you will not live long."
The two of them are bound together, and neither can leave the other.
Shen Yao said some ugly words in advance because she was afraid that Qiuyue would lose her mind after entering the palace and do something stupid.
After hearing this, Qiuyue quickly knelt down to express her loyalty to Shen Yao. She was a servant of the Shen family and her whole family lived in the Shen family. She would never dare to have such thoughts.
"...No matter what happens in the future, this servant will never betray my master."
"Get up"
Shen Yao was not really afraid of Qiuyue's betrayal. At worst, she could just find another one to keep by her side. After all, the harem was not short of ambitious slaves.
Qiuyue stood up, holding the wooden box in her hand, and then told Shen Yao about the situation in the Hehuan Palace.
She had just taken people to the Imperial Household Department to get her dowry, so it was not a wasted trip.
There was nothing I should have said, asked or inquired about on the way.
Shen Yao was satisfied with Qiuyue's mentality, and at the same time felt good about bringing Qiuyue into the palace.
It seems that her step-grandmother is still quite capable. Shen Yao doesn't mind that the maids around her have a relationship with the Shen family. As long as they don't betray her, Shen Yao's tolerance is surprisingly high.
"Let's take a closer look at the team in Hehuan Palace. No one has lived here for many years, so it's unlikely that there are spies here, but we can't let our guard down."
Now that Shen Yao has moved in, there’s no telling what may happen to the Hehuan Palace.
Furthermore, the Hehuan Palace belongs to the Weiyang Palace, and there are many palaces around the Weiyang Palace. Shen Yao doesn't know the temperament of the people living inside, so it won't do any harm for Shen Yao to take precautions in advance.
Qiuyue nodded in agreement, and then she began to redecorate the room where Shen Yao lived, along with the palace maids from the Hehuan Palace, according to Shen Yao's arrangements.
Time flies and three days have passed.
During this period, Shen Yao did not leave the Hehuan Palace, but stayed in the room wholeheartedly, and then took advantage of the evening bath to regulate her body and maintain her physical condition.
Shen Yao was not the most outstanding one in this audition.
So she couldn't guarantee that the emperor would summon her to sleep with him soon.
In order to get pregnant as soon as possible and live a life where she can rely on her children to support herself, Shen Yao feels that she can try harder and strive for success in one go, which will not only save trouble but also give her peace of mind.
"master"
Qiuyue hurried in from the door, walked to Shen Yao with a nervous look on her face and bowed.
Shen Yao looked up and put down the picture book in her hand, "What's wrong?"
Qiuyue hesitated to speak, "Master, the emperor summoned his concubines today," but the person chosen was not her own master.
Qiuyue didn't say the second half of the sentence, but one could tell who Shen Yao was at a glance.
