The majestic sister of the red mansion

"I heard that Prince Yong's character is very cautious and suspicious." Fu Cha'er said in a low voice, "So, the noble concubine has to be respected, but the side concubine Li who was born in the fourth-rank magistrate has three sons and one daughter, and her complexion gradually fades. But in charge of Prince Yong's Mansion, the imperial decree bestows a marriage, and the concubine Nian, whose father and brother both have real power, has been in the mansion for three years, but has no son or daughter."

"That's right! A suspicious man will only feel at ease with a woman he can control, because it's easy to control and manipulate." The beautiful woman nodded after hearing this, gave Fu Cha'er an appreciative look, and continued: "Besides the two side concubines in Prince Yong's Mansion, there are two other concubines that need to be paid attention to - concubines Niu Shi and Geng Shi. They each have a son. They are the same age this year, exactly nine years old."

"Nine years old! Are the two of them the youngest children in Prince Yong's Mansion?"

"After giving birth to a son, they are still concubines. It seems that Prince Yong doesn't like them!" Fu Cha'er and Fu Ye'er said in unison, but their concerns were different. Fu Cha'er asked The most important thing is whether there are any children younger than the two of them, but Fu Yeer asked the most superficial, that the Niu family and the Gunn family are not favored.

The eldest daughter has always been intelligent, and the family doesn't want her parents, but she has the demeanor of his second uncle. The beautiful woman doesn't blame her for being young. Instead, she calms down and explains to the two daughters in detail: "Nine years ago, Niu When the family gave birth, golden auspicious clouds fell from the sky, shaking the government and the public, Prince Yong, who was originally the prince's right-hand man, was despised by the prince at that time, and often punished and treated him poorly."

"This fourth son has encountered countless accidents since he was born, but every time he passed it safely as if he was blessed by gods and Buddhas, but at that time he took over the real power in the hands of Lord Yong. After that, Lord Yong gradually faded out of the court and the public, and devoted himself to Buddhism and Taoism. , eight years ago, concubine Song gave birth to a daughter, and she died within a month, after that, no children were born."

"Until the prince was abolished once, the eighth elder brother was jointly recommended by your second uncle, Mr. Tong and other ministers as the prince, but the king of Yongjun ignored the past, was tortured by the prince, and came forward to restore the prince. Today, he is allowed to praise him for his sincerity and filial piety." , and was promoted to Prince Yong, and ordered Prince Yong to take charge of household affairs, river engineering, etc., until the crown prince was abolished for the second time two years ago, Prince Yong's real power gradually increased."

"It seems that Prince Yong is quite self-restrained above women's sex!" Hearing what the beautiful woman said, Fu Cha'er smiled, and said the four words quite self-restraint, with a accentuated accent, and she pointedly said.

But Fu Ye'er asked in confusion: "Because of the abnormal birth of the fourth son, it is understandable that the Niu family is valued, so what does this have to do with the Geng family?"

"Hehe...Ye'er, you don't know that there are rules in the royal family. A concubine with a low status is not qualified to raise his own children, but the vision at the time of the fourth son's birth made him a hot potato, and no one would take it. , who was sick, she refused. Concubine Li had two sons and a daughter to raise at that time, and she also refused. It happened that two months after Niu gave birth, Geng also gave birth to a son, so she simply ordered them to raise each other child." The beautiful woman explained in a low voice.

Fu Cha'er understood the meaning of the beautiful woman: "Mother means that since the vision is born, there must be something strange, so we must pay close attention to him, so his biological mother and his adoptive mother can't be ignored, right? Even if they The status is humble, but even the powerful Concubine Li lost two sons, and their children have grown up to this day, I am afraid that they are not simple people, right?"

"Just know it, you don't need to say it." The beautiful woman poked Fu Cha'er on the forehead, looked down at her second daughter's puzzled eyes, and thought about how young her second daughter was, and her aptitude was slightly worse than Cha'er's, she couldn't help but smiled, and said softly : "Stupid girl, don't think about it if you don't understand it, you are still young, just remember it in your heart."

"Well! Daughter knows, is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to in Prince Yong's Mansion?" Fu Ye'er pouted dissatisfiedly, but she didn't complain aloud, which shows that Gao's family is upbringing.

The beautiful woman thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, there are still some. Among the four kings and eight princes, the Jia family of the eight princes has a daughter who works as a maid beside the princess. In the year when the prince was deposed for the second time, suddenly As a Concubine Concubine, at present, Prince Yong's Mansion appears to be only inferior in rank to the two side concubines, but she has no sons and no daughters, and she is the only one in her natal family who is a bit aggressive, and the others are gradually declining, so don't worry about it."

"Two years ago? Speaking of which, my daughter remembered one thing. Two years ago, one year after the crown prince was abolished, that is, last year, Special Yun heard that the Jia family built a special building to take this concubine Jia Shu back to her natal family. It is a luxurious garden, it is said that at that time, Concubine Li's family also built a garden to take Concubine Li back, but it is slightly inferior to Jia's garden, is it true?" Fu Cha'er suddenly asked.

The beautiful woman nodded in confusion: "Yes! But your second aunt wrote to me and told me that it was because King Yong was merciful and took pity on the concubine who was seriously ill after giving birth. The concubine who is qualified to return to her natal family, the side concubine, has served him for many years, and she has given grace to allow the female family members in the mansion to visit her natal family once if they have conditions."

"Oh! That's right!" Fu Cha'er nodded thoughtfully.

Knowing that this daughter never spoke empty words, since she asked, there must be something she overlooked and didn't notice, the beautiful woman couldn't help lowering her voice: "Cha'er, what happened to the Jia family and the Jia family?"

"Mother, didn't you just say that? In the year when the crown prince was deposed for the second time, the Jia family was suddenly promoted from maidservant to concubine concubine, and Prince Yong is quite self-controlled with women, which must have something to do with the abolished crown prince." Let's have some connections! Besides, although the Jia family has fallen, the four princes and eight princes have always been connected, and there must be something we don't know about it." Fu Cha'er frowned after finishing speaking.

With a low smile, he said: "It seems that our family is not the only one who is loyal to Prince Yong and is loyal to him! However, if the affairs of the government are involved in the back house, judging from Prince Yong's character, the Jia family really lacks. Counsellor! It’s still the second uncle’s affairs in the court, and his performance in the court is better. He was imprisoned for two years and the whole family was dismissed from office. This kind of loyalty is well displayed.”

"Ah! So that's what happened." Only then did the beautiful woman understand the meaning of her daughter's words, and she was taken aback immediately. This child, Cha'er, is too smart. Maybe this smartness is a testament to her future destiny. However, can she live a good life with this wisdom in that thrilling, cruel and ruthless place?

Thinking of this beautiful woman was a little depressed, but still forced a laugh, and then said to the two daughters: "Listen to you, I made a mistake in putting Concubine Jia Shu in an unimportant place, but, thinking about it this way, I want to The other person who said it, Cha'er, I'm afraid you should pay more attention."

"Huh! Who is mother talking about?" Fu Cha'er didn't make a sound, but Fu Ye'er asked curiously, "Why should my sister pay attention?"

Being asked for a moment, the beautiful woman thought that the eldest daughter didn't know that his second uncle had taken a fancy to the fourth young master of Prince Yong's mansion, and a look of awkwardness flashed across her face, and she said with a little embarrassment: "I was wrong, but your second uncle To be serious, I can't help but take this person too seriously."

"Who is mother talking about?" Fu Cha'er asked in surprise.

The beautiful woman was stunned, and said in a low voice, "Gao Taoyao, the eldest daughter of the Gao family in the House of Internal Affairs."

"It's the eldest daughter of the Gao family who is said to look like a concubine and fairy." For some reason, when Fu Cha'er heard this person, this person's name, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart. Obviously, they have never met or communicated before. Could it be that they have never met each other before, or they hated each other first, or there were evil reasons in the previous life. Thinking of this, Fu Cha'er couldn't help laughing, secretly thinking that he was thinking wildly.

A look of surprise flashed across his face: "Ha'er heard of her?"

"Well! When our family was dismissed from office, their family was in good times. It is said that the head of the Gao family has the talent of Bai Gui, and the family is extremely rich. There is no loss in all the things he manages. The eldest daughter of the Gao family, her reputation spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, and scholars are eager to pursue her. The daughter has heard a lot at home, and the father didn't hear the news after he got up and released." Fu Cha'er showed no emotion. the way.

But as a mother, how could she not understand her daughter? She naturally heard the sarcasm in her daughter's indifferent voice, and nodded in satisfaction. The nature of the character made her instinctively feel disgusted with her enemies, so it is best, what a woman fears most in her life is to trust her enemies as friends.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling: "Then mother will tell you the next thing. Although the Gao family is very rich, it is just an imperial businessman who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has an official name. The money bag of Prince Yong’s Mansion, because his father is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and your second uncle is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he is clear about his family’s affairs.”

"The year before last, when Concubine Yong became pregnant, the imperial physicians said that her pregnancy was not good. If she gave birth to a child, she might have to prepare for her funeral soon. The concubine Wang knew this, but she insisted on giving birth, probably because she wanted to give birth. I want to desperately give birth to a legitimate son so that I can inherit the palace, and that year happens to be the year when the eldest daughter of the Gao family will run for election." The beautiful woman patted the girl's young back.

Slowly said: "I heard from your second uncle that the Gao family was going around all over the place that year, trying to please in every possible way, and wanted the concubine De to choose Gao Taoyao as the successor of the princess. I really don't know what his family thinks, forgetting about my own background Is it? Even being a side concubine is reluctant, and dare to think about the position of princess, but his family never thought that the concubine de concubine prefers the youngest son, the fourteenth prince."

"It's because I'm worried that the Fourteenth Prince's mansion is not wide, and I think that the Gao family is very rich, and their background is low!" Fu Cha'er's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and then he said with a low smile: "I'm afraid their family will be disappointed."

The beautiful woman nodded: "Who says no! It is estimated that the fourteenth prince is also moved, and most people will think that, given the high price, if the fourteenth prince is given as a side concubine, it is already considered a kindness, who would think so?" Gao Taoyao rejected the kindness of Empress Concubine De in person, and bluntly said that she only wanted to serve in Prince Yong's residence."
