Then there is no more

No matter what you want to do, as long as you want to accomplish one thing, the early days are hard work.Shen Yi began to live a life of going out early and returning late.

On this day, a young eunuch suddenly came to the palace and told the female family members of Uncle Anping's mansion what the queen said, saying that the concubine Shun was in poor health, and the queen specially gave her grace and allowed her family to enter the palace to see her.After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly put on Lu's make-up and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

As the stepwife, the old lady is not loved by the old uncle, and she puts all her heart on her only daughter.But when Concubine Shun entered the palace, it was not easy for mother and daughter to meet each other.Although the concubine's master was able to summon her family, the old lady was afraid of causing trouble for Concubine Shun, so as long as the palace did not recruit, no matter how much she missed her daughter outside, she would not easily hand over the sign to enter the palace.This time the queen gave grace, and she must not let it go.

After entering the palace, Mrs. Song first brought Mrs. Lu to visit the empress.

This is an attitude.

The queen is the lord of the harem. When entering the harem, it is to show respect to the queen to visit the queen first.But under normal circumstances, empresses are busy with palace affairs and don't meet people easily, so it's enough for the Song family to kowtow outside the palace where the empress lives.But this time, the queen personally received the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Anpingbo's mansion, and even spoke to them in a pleasant manner before sending them to see Concubine Shun.

Concubine Shun lives in Youchun Pavilion.

The Youchun Pavilion is not as spacious as the Changping Palace and Guangde Palace where the fourth concubine lives, but because only Concubine Shun and her two masters, the Eleventh Princess, live in the Youchun Pavilion, it is quiet here.Concubine Shun entered the palace ten years ago, Princess Eleven is seven years old this year.She is not considered favored, but because of her modesty and demureness, the empress thinks highly of her.Although her concubine was proposed by the emperor, she was able to secure the concubine position because of the empress's care.

For the empress, there are bright girls entering the palace every year, how can she be jealous of the emperor's women!As long as her queen's position is secure, as long as her son's prince's position is secure, she will feel that the sky will always be so blue, the flowers will always be so bright, and her mood will always be so good.There are so many women in the harem, and for someone like Concubine Shun who knows the times, the Queen treats Concubine Shun better than the Emperor!

When Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lu reached Youchun Pavilion, Concubine Shun was already waiting in the room with Princess Eleven in her arms.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lu hurriedly bowed to Concubine Shun, but before they knelt down on the ground, Concubine Shun immediately called out.Before Concubine Shun entered the palace, Mrs. Lu had already married into Uncle Anping's Mansion. The aunt and sister-in-law lived together for seven to eight years, and there was no conflict with each other, and the relationship was very unusual.Concubine Shun also watched Bian Jingyu grow up to be six years old.After Concubine Shun entered the palace, Mrs. Lu devoted herself to serving Mrs. Song, and Concubine Shun was extremely grateful to Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law.

Song asked with concern: "I heard that your mother is not in good health..."

Concubine Shun smiled and said, "It's just that I was a little cold when I woke up. After taking two patches of medicine, I'm fine. It's just that the queen is sympathetic and told me to continue to rest for two days." In fact, she didn't have any illnesses, but it was because someone was there The prince was framed by the previous dynasty, and the queen targeted other concubines in the harem. The palace has been too chaotic these past few months, so she just took the opportunity to hide from things.Because the Uncle Anping's House helped take care of the Shen family, although the Uncle Anping's House did what it was supposed to do, it also helped the prince clean up the mess. The queen was quite satisfied with the concubine Shun, knowing that she had no intention of fighting, so she allowed her to hide .

Originally, since Concubine Shun took refuge in the queen, if the queen really wanted to use her as a knife, she really had to be a knife to offend others.But with the care of her natal family outside the palace, this time she did not act as a knife, but hid safely in Youchun Pavilion.

Concubine Shun is actually a person with no ambitions.As long as she and her daughter live well, no matter which prince succeeds in the future, she, an old concubine and a princess can be treated kindly.A princess who is not valued by the royal family is still a princess. As long as you are smart, you will not suffer after getting married.But if she jumps up and down to stand in line now, although it is possible to get that overwhelming wealth, it is also possible that the eleventh princess will suffer a bad end.Therefore, Concubine Shun was unwilling to make trouble.Of course, for now, Concubine Shun still hopes that the Queen and the Crown Prince will have a peaceful year.

It's rare for Concubine Shun to see her family, and she wished that time would go slower so that she could slowly express her thoughts.

When it was another day of rest, Bian Jingyu asked someone to meet in the private room of the restaurant.

The person he was dating was named Li and his name was Li Yipeng.Li Yipeng was ugly and obese. People often praised him to his face, but spurned him behind his back. They praised him because he was not only rich, but also had a famous adoptive father who was a eunuch in the palace.Li Yipeng's adoptive father, Li Changen, was deeply trusted by the emperor.It is said that the king of Hades is easy to deal with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. Officials are not willing to offend the eunuchs.However, if you are not guilty, you are not guilty, and there are not many people who think highly of eunuchs.Li Yipeng was cast aside because he was really ugly, but also because his adoptive father was a eunuch.

Li Yipeng himself is of good nationality, and seems to have some blood relationship with Chang Enzhen.Chang En used a lot of energy to push Li Yipeng into the Taixue.But how noble are the scholars!People who have become officials actually know a little bit about current affairs, even if they look down on them in their hearts, they don't show it on their faces.But most of the students in Taixue who have not embarked on official careers are still naive, because they despise Li Yipeng's background, they directly isolate Li Yipeng.When Li Yipeng entered Taixue on the first day, a student in his class left the classroom on the spot, expressing his disdain for the eunuch's adopted son.

How could Li Yipeng bear this anger?He found someone to beat the student to death, and then he himself was persuaded to leave by the Taixue.

Bian Jingyu and Li Yipeng are naturally not friends.But Bian Jingyu never expressed contempt for Li Yipeng back then, so when Bian Jingyu asked Li Yipeng to meet, Li Yipeng gave him a little face.For the sake of the money Bian Jingyu gave, Li Yipeng was willing to sell him some news.

Naturally, Li Yipeng dared not tell the really terrible news.However, what Bian Jingyu wants to know is actually just a simple thing.

As soon as Li Yipeng entered the private room, he said to the waiter in the shop: "If you have any delicious food, just serve it up. By the way, do you light candles at home?"

The waiter looked blank.

Li Yipeng sneered, but looked at Bian Jingyu, and said in a very coquettish tone: "Mr. Bian, you probably don't know it. It's popular to light candles when you invite people to dinner now. Only when you light the candles are you considered Really sincere, it is said that this is a popular etiquette among foreigners."

Bian Jingyu: "..."

Li Yipeng is often accompanied by some low-level dandies, and these dandies mostly talk about him.The saying of lighting candles to eat is probably learned by someone to tell Li Yipeng, so as to cheat some rewards from him.Li Yipeng loves to be arty, but he just loves to hear these things!

Because he didn't know that Bian Jingyu was one of the parties involved in the candlelight lunch, Li Yipeng thought that even a young man like Bian Jingyu didn't understand this etiquette. He repeated the matter of lighting candles several times.

Bian Jingyu: "..."

Li Yipeng's news did not come cheap.

But Bian Jingyu has money in hand.As long as he is willing, he can actually live a more luxurious life than Bian Jiayu.Just like Bian Jingyu never coveted Bian Jiayu's status as heir, although Bian Jiayu called Lu's mother, she couldn't receive unlimited subsidies from Lu's like Bian Jingyu.Not to mention that Bian Jingyu also has a grandfather who is in front of the imperial merchant!Every time his uncle sees him, he likes to give him a banknote.Bian Jingyu doesn't usually live extravagantly because he doesn't want to surpass his elder brother in terms of clothing expenses.But when he really needs money, he actually has no shortage of money.

What Bian Jingyu wanted to know was how the exile places of Shen Deyuan and Shen Si were changed.

Li Yipeng touched his face with his greasy fingers, and said, "You have found the right person by asking me about this matter."

When the incident happened, Bian Jingyu went to Li Yipeng and paid a deposit in advance.But Li Yipeng didn't see his adoptive father Chang En every now and then, and even if he saw Chang En, Chang En didn't necessarily know about it.Bian Jingyu waited patiently until now.However, even if Li Yipeng couldn't answer, the deposit he received would not be refunded.Bian Jingyu knew the bottom line not to offend the villain, so she didn't care too much.

Not to mention, it might be Bian Jingyu's luck, the reason why the place of exile was changed happened to be known by Chang En, because Chang En was serving in front of the emperor at that time.And Chang En was willing to tell Li Yipeng about this matter because it was not an important secret in the first place.

But even if it wasn't a secret, Bian Jingyu had no way to find out the news because there was no one in Bian's family, so she could only ask Li Yipeng to come.Bian Jingyu bowed her hands to Li Yipeng, and said, "Brother Li is really capable! Please trouble Brother Li."

Being treated so courteously by Bian Jingyu, Li Yipeng felt relieved, touched his chubby stomach, and said, "This matter was brought up by Mr. He from the Ministry of War. Mr. He said that there seems to be something strange about the barbarians in the northwest. In case those who let go It’s not good to have spies in the middle, so they’ll all be exiled to the south.” Every time the prisoners are exiled in batches, among these people, it is indeed possible that they will be inserted into the kind of prison that has been carefully prepared for many years. spy.Most of the prisoners exiled in the Northwest were assigned to work in the mines. If the details of the mines were leaked, it would cause big trouble.

If the barbarians really moved, no matter how careful they were, there would be no problem.

Bian Jingyu thought for a while and asked, "Master He? But the servant of the Ministry of War, Mr. He?"

Li Yipeng rolled his eyes, twirled a fried peanut and threw it into his mouth, deliberately pretending to be unfathomable, and said: "In a few days, it will be Master He, Shangshu of the Ministry of War." For the sake of Bian Jingyu's willingness to give money, Li Yipeng doesn't mind sending Bian Jingyu some more news.

Bian Jingyu was thoughtful.

This Mr. He actually has a little relationship with Anpingbo Mansion.Master He's eldest daughter married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhen's mansion and the future wife of the Duke of Zhen.And the third lady in Zhen Guogong's mansion is Bian Jiayu's daughter-in-law who is engaged but has not yet married.This third lady came from the second room, and her father was Jijiu of the Imperial College.That is to say, both the He family and the Bian family are related by marriage to the Liu family of Duke Zhen.

But if there is any deep friendship between the He family and the Bian family, there is no such thing.Because, the He family is married to the head of the Zhen Guo government, while the Bian family is married to the second house of the Zhen Guo government.In the future, when the Zhen Guogong's family is divided, Xijue's long house and the separated second house will be two families.
