The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber
Chapter 29
Let's say that Princess Lirong led several girls, followed by more than a dozen court ladies and maids, and a group of people went to various palaces to pay their respects.
It's just that these girls came from quite noble backgrounds, and everyone in the harem didn't have to meet each of them. The Empress Dowager Shang only asked Yunzhu to lead them to report to the lords of the palaces to recognize their faces, so that they would not be in the palace in the future. don't know.
The emperor has only been on the throne for more than half a year, he has not been drafted, and the palace is full of old people from the palace.Except for Empress Xie, their backgrounds are not as good as these girls.In addition, everyone knew that these girls were called into the palace by the Empress Dowager Shang, and they didn't dare to insult the Empress Dowager.
As a result, all the concubines were very polite and gentle, and they did not put on airs like the emperor's concubines, and many of them even avoided courtesy.
It also saved Shang Chanchan from surrendering her knees a few times.
There is one empress and four concubines in the harem of this dynasty.
Apart from the empress, there are only two concubines in today's harem, the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine. Although the noble concubine came from a humble background, she doted on the palace and gave birth to the second prince.So even though the empress dowagers of the two palaces were quite critical, the emperor still insisted on giving the position of concubine Liu.
Shang Chanchan knew that her aunt the queen mother was quite dissatisfied with this.
Noble, virtuous and virtuous, the noble concubine is the head of the four concubines. Back then, the Queen Mother of Shang was only a Shu concubine. In the end, there was no noble concubine in the emperor's dynasty.The county magistrate's daughter, Piansheng Liu, became a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace.
The Empress Dowager Shang didn't give her son a good face for several days.
Due to the empress dowager's dislike, Shang Chanchan naturally never had any dealings with the imperial concubine.
But she is very interested in this beauty who dotes on the harem, which sounds like a disaster for those beauties in the book.She has not been in this world for a short time, and she has seen many beauties, but she really can't imagine what kind of ability can fascinate the emperor for a while.
When Shang Chanchan finally saw the legendary concubine with her own eyes, there was only one thought in her mind: the emperor just made a mistake that all men in the world would make.
In fact, Concubine Liu Gui is not so beautiful, but her style is extraordinarily moving, with a charming and lazy charm. From Shang Chanchan's modern point of view, this kind of woman with all kinds of charm is really from the eighties to the next. An irresistible temptation for eighteenth-year-old men.
Of course, that's why she didn't discuss the Queen Mother, the mother-in-law's favorite reason.This is a model of vixen in the eyes of any mother-in-law.
It was even because of Concubine Liu Gui that the Empress Dowager Shang chose many court ladies to enter the palace under the pretext of choosing escorts.I plan to screen the concubines of my grandchildren in advance, lest there be another Liu family.
Not only was Concubine Liu Gui's background not high, but she was very low in the harem.Her father was only a county magistrate at first, and he was also a court lady when he sent his daughter to the palace.Later, the Liu family was awarded to the current emperor, and after giving birth to a son, he became a side concubine, and his father's official position was slightly moved up.
It wasn't until His Majesty ascended the throne that Aifei's father was rewarded with a magistrate.
So she didn't dare to show off in front of these real noble girls, she seemed very kind and praised them one by one.It's just that the imperial concubine doesn't read much, just a few words.
Miss Wen was so extravagant, Miss Zhu was so beautiful, and Miss Lin was so beautiful. When she praised Shang Chanchan, she was a little stuck. She paused and said, "Miss Shang is so cute."
Shang Chanchan: ...I understand.
There is nothing else to praise but cuteness.
When Xiao Lirong led the women's army to fight in Concubine Xian's palace, Concubine Liu Gui frowned slightly and began to sigh.
Her natal family also has a ten-year-old niece, and after a few years, it's time to pick someone else.It would be great if he could be taught by the queen mother like these girls.Let's see if those wealthy families dare to criticize her Liu family's daughter.
Yinque, beside the imperial concubine, saw that her master was troubled, so she wanted to share his worries.
Everyone in the palace could move their heads by stepping on their tails, they were extremely smart, and they could see at a glance what the concubine was troubled with, so they came up with an idea in Concubine Liu's ear.
Not to mention the imperial concubine's plans, only that a three-entry courtyard has been set up for several girls at the back of Fengjing Palace. Shang Chanchan and Daiyu chose the adjacent Xiangge, so that they can take care of each other .
According to the permission of the palace, each of them can bring a maid into the palace, and the others are palace maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Naturally, Shang Chanchan brought the oldest and most stable Poria into the palace, and found that Daiyu did not bring Zijuan, but snow geese into the palace, so Shang Chanchan asked.
In her impression, Daiyu relied heavily on Zijuan, even more than the snow geese brought by her family.
Daiyu laughed and said, "Zicuckoo is a servant girl of Rongguo Mansion after all, since I'm going home, I can't take her into the palace again."
Shang Chanchan nodded: That's right, Daiyu is only ten years old now, and there are at least six years before the collapse of the Rongguo Mansion in the book.And Zijuan really got Daiyu's attention, or after two or three years, Daiyu and Baoyu had a connection, and Zijuan pointed out this matter, destroying Daiyu's lifelong plans.
That's fine, Zijuan is a genuine Baoyu party, and he can't wait to put Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu together.Now they are estranged, and they will not be able to cause the accident where Baoyu went crazy in the future.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager Shang left Chanchan and Daiyu alone to talk.
After only a few words, Bizhu walked back and forth, saying that the queen came to pay her respects.
Originally, the Empress Dowager Shang was afraid that the Queen would be hurt, so she didn't call her, but she came here by herself.
Empress Xie's face had already returned to being dignified and peaceful, and nothing could be seen.He just looked at Daiyu with a smile, then took a gold necklace inlaid with red treasures and oriental beads from Xueliu behind him, handed it to Daiyu himself, and said with a smile: "This is the dowry of my palace back then. If you hit it off, I'll give it to you."
Shang Chanchan: ...Why does my sister Lin also have gold!We don't want that kind of golden marriage.
But this gold collar is really extravagant and gorgeous, Shang Chanchan's eyes are dazzled by looking at it.
Empress Dowager Shang said with a smile: "The queen has brought out something good. Who doesn't know that your Xie family has been a general since the founding of the country, and is the most wealthy. Look, you have watched us Chanchan. But if it wasn't for Chanchan, Lin The girl may not be able to enter the palace yet, just for this, the empress, you have to take some good things from yourself and give them to us, Chanchan."
Although it is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but because Liu Guifei is an eyesore in front of her.The queen who has a gentle temperament, a deep understanding of etiquette and justice, and can give birth to sons has become an excellent daughter-in-law in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Shang.
As a result, the relationship between the two was quite harmonious, and the Empress Dowager Shang was very willing to joke with the empress—it was one thing to like Empress Xie, but it was another to express her dislike for Concubine Liu Gui—anyway, Concubine Liu Gui was here in Fengjing Palace. Never faceless.
Empress Xie laughed and said: "The queen mother has spoken, no matter how stingy my son is, I can't hide it." As he spoke, he took off a sapphire bracelet from his hand.
I saw that the bracelet was crystal clear, as magnificent as a piece of azure sea water.
Shang Chanchan fell in love with it the first time she saw it: she traveled back to the ancient duke's house, she saw a lot of gold and jade, and saved a lot in the small treasury.But such a clear and beautiful sapphire is rarely seen.
Empress Xie smiled and said, "When I was a daughter, my grandfather got it when he went on an expedition to Burma. Because such a clean and large sapphire is rare, my mother planned to use it as a family heirloom for my daughter-in-law of Xie's family, but later I entered it by order. The palace, my mother quietly gave it to me."
There was a look of nostalgia on her face, she didn't even use Ben Gong, and talked about me.
Since Empress Xie wanted to please her mother-in-law, she naturally had to show the best attitude towards the merchant's daughter.
So he took out all the things he had loved for many years, and joked: "Since the queen mother has spoken, and the son-in-law sees that Chanchan is really cute and cute, he reluctantly parted with her."
Empress Dowager Shang was very satisfied with Empress Xie's attitude, and said with a smile: "Chanchan, take it quickly. The empress is bleeding today, and she took out two really good things."
This pair of the most honorable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world were exchanging courtesies and enjoying themselves happily when they saw Jin You, the chief eunuch in charge, come to report the matter with a low eyebrow.
Although Dai Quan was the Minister in charge of the Daming Palace, it was Jin You, the eunuch who was in charge of the palace, who really followed the emperor day and night.
Therefore, even the empresses of the palaces and the princes were quite polite when they saw him.
Outside the palace, Dai Quan and Jin You were even more majestic. Whoever saw them wouldn't bow their hands and address them as inner ministers.
However, at this time, Jin You had a particularly low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and slipped in against the wall like a pissed off daughter-in-law, knelt down and said, "Go back to the empress dowager, the imperial concubine passed out today due to discomfort."
Empress Dowager Shang remained unmoved: "Oh, I'm dizzy."
Even Shang Chanchan could hear a trace of joy.
Jin Youdui said with a smile: "The imperial physician went to make a diagnosis and treatment, and said that the imperial concubine has a stagnation in her chest, and her liver qi is out of balance."
Empress Dowager Shang frowned: "Then let the imperial physician take care of it, why bother to come back to the palace. Could it be that the imperial physician of Fengjing Palace is transferred to the noble concubine? I'm not afraid of ruining her luck."
Jin You hurriedly apologized, and said with embarrassing brows and drooping eyes: "Who dares to transfer the imperial physician of Fengjing Palace? Your Majesty has a golden eloquence, and everything must be closely followed by Fengjing Palace."
"It's just...it's just that the imperial concubine is depressed, saying that she misses her relatives. The emperor agreed to bring the imperial concubine's niece to meet him in the palace, and said, also said, that Miss Liu and Miss Shang should study together."
As soon as Jin You finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Shang slapped the table.
"presumptuous!"
From Empress Xie onwards, everyone present hurriedly stood up, bowed their heads and stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
"The Liu family is a small household, if Liu's hadn't given birth to the second prince, based on her background, she would dare to pretend to be a noble concubine. This palace will take advantage of a noble person for her!"
"It is my palace's consent to ask her daughter to come to the palace to accompany the princess to study. I asked the emperor to ask his brother, Prince Zhongyong, if he agrees, and then ask Aunt Pingning if he agrees!"
Not to mention Xiao Lirong from Prince Zhongyong's family, she is a legitimate princess and the girl with the highest status in the palace.
Princess Pingning is the emperor's aunt, the emperor's sister, and the first daughter of Empress Xiaoyi.Her direct granddaughter is also of noble status.
Further down, the Chu family, the merchants, are all decent Hou's and Bobo's houses.
And Zhu Xiangguo and Lin Ruhai are also first-rank officials, and there have been several generations of princes and hairpin tassels in the family.
The daughters of these families are brought up by the queen mother in the palace, which is the icing on the cake, adding a touch of royal splendor to their already noble lintels.
But what is the Liu family!
Ten years back, Liu Guifei's father was only a county magistrate.
Pushing forward 30 years, the Liu family is still selling sesame oil!Now that her daughter has gained power, she has become a genius.He dared to plot against the Queen Mother's upbringing, and the princess accompanied him to such an honor.
The imperial concubine is so proud of being favored, she fainted to invite her, which only annoyed the Empress Dowager Shang, and of course it was even more annoyed that the emperor agreed.
If all the girls from the Liu family could be accompanying students, where would the princess Pingning's face be placed?Doesn't it imply that the Liu family can sit on an equal footing with the eldest princess?
It is estimated that with the temperament of the eldest princess, she can enter the palace the next day to ask for her granddaughter's resignation, so it is not appropriate to accompany her.
If he was with the girl from the Liu family, the empress dowager's upbringing would not add to the glory at all, but would degrade his status!
The emperor was fooled by the vixen, and actually agreed to such a thing.
Jin You lay on the ground, almost wishing he could get under the ground and disappear on the spot.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was not good at scolding the emperor directly. Seeing that Jin You was still lying on the ground, she yelled at him: "You slaves only want to curry favor with the emperor. If you let me know which one of you instigated the emperor to promise Liu's matter, I will not expose you."
Jin You had a bitter face: Once the imperial concubine's request was made, they knew it was not good.However, the imperial concubine acted coquettishly and foolishly, and the emperor agreed. How dare they persuade her? Wouldn't that mean offending the imperial concubine to death?
So now I can only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, bear the Queen Mother's anger, and only hope that the Queen Mother can only curse a few words, but don't pass the blame.
Empress Xie settled down, her face was calm, and she was also sneering in her heart: Mrs. Liu was so spoiled by the emperor's favor that she dared to do something like this to offend the clan and important officials?
Princess Pingning is one of the highest-ranking persons in the clan today. If she shows her attitude, it will be difficult for Concubine Liu Gui, who has a shallow foundation, to communicate with the clan from now on.
Although Zhu Xiangguo wanted to become an official, he was full of peaches and plums and had a wide network of contacts; Baoninghou's mansion was not to mention simple in the emperor's heart, an upstart in the court; as for the Lin family, Lin Ruhai would go to Beijing in the future to be the secretary of the household department— —These people are all important ministers among the important ministers.
Concubine Liu Gui offended all these people in one go.What kind of official will her son Lang come out in the future?
The most important thing is that Concubine Liu Gui still has to hang out in the harem, so she might be crazy if she tried her best to offend the Empress Dowager Shang.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shang said angrily, "Where's the emperor?"
Jin You was scolded by the empress dowager for no reason, so he refused to hide it for the noble concubine, lying on the ground and said: "Report to the empress dowager, the emperor is still in Wuyang Hall."
Wuyang Hall is the palace of the noble concubine.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shang began to pat the table again: "Call him! The imperial concubine has fainted and he wants to accompany her. You go and tell the emperor, only that I have fainted too!"
The Empress Dowager Shang really made the emperor dizzy with anger, and said all the angry words.
The main reason is that the emperor's recent affairs have been really dishonest.
That Jia Yuanchun in front made the empress dowager a lot of trouble, and within a month after he left, the emperor wanted to get another girl from the Liu family, so it's no wonder that the empress dowager got angry.
Jin You got the order, as if he had been pardoned, he quickly got up and slipped away.
Empress Dowager Shang looked at Empress Xie: "Queen, go back. You don't need to worry about this matter."
Empress Xie bowed and took her leave, sincerely: "Then everything will be entrusted to Empress Lai."
Among other things, the Empress Dowager Shang is indeed protecting her.It stands to reason that she is a queen, so she naturally wants to restrain the harem, but if she does something, it is inevitable that the emperor will mistakenly think that she is not lenient enough for the concubine.
Only when the Empress Dowager takes action, can I get rid of the relationship.
Just for this matter, the sapphire bracelet just now was not given away in vain.
Seeing that the queen mother was really annoyed, Shang Chanchan hurriedly took the tea cup from Bizhu and handed it over to her personally.Daiyu also held the tranquilizing pills that the queen mother took daily, preparing for the queen mother to take the medicine.
The Empress Dowager Shang has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she has never seen any scenes.The reason why she was angry just now is that she doesn't need her to suppress her temper now, she can just do it if she wants to. To say that Concubine Liu Gui can really piss her off is also flattering Concubine Liu Gui.
Now seeing the two beautiful and lovely girls surrounding her, the Empress Dowager Shang smiled again.
At the same time, in Wuyang Palace, the second prince Xiao Cheng was standing beside his mother, and the 15-year-old boy's face was full of clouds.
Just now the emperor was called away by the Empress Dowager, and now there are only Liu Guifei, mother and son here.
"Mother and concubine only cares about the Liu family and doesn't think about her son at all! You have offended the emperor's grandmother terribly by acting like this. Even the royal family and the ministers of the court have been offended. How will you let your son gain a foothold in the future? How?" Go and compete with big brother for the crown prince!"
Concubine Liu Gui didn't have to pretend to be pitiful when she saw that the emperor was gone, she just sat up and said: "Everyone thinks it's a stupid thing for concubine mother to think about the past and ignore the future, don't you think so?"
Xiao Cheng suppressed his anger: "I also ask my concubine to let me know."
He felt that his mother wouldn't be so stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have spoiled the palace for so many years.
There was a cold light in Concubine Liu Guidan's eyes: "The empress dowager doesn't want to see me very much, and it's useless for me to please you. Ever since the emperor made me a noble concubine, has the empress dowager ever looked at me directly, even this is not good for you, my own grandson. It's very cold. It's not as close as it is to the First Prince and Fifth Prince."
"Since that's the case, why should I follow her? It's better to get what I can get. As long as the girl from our Liu family enters the palace, it can prove to the harem and the former court that the palace is favored."
"As for offending Eldest Princess Pingning, there's nothing wrong with it. The clan didn't want to deal with me in the first place, so what if they offend us more severely? Besides, they don't dare to disrespect us, otherwise it would be a shame to the emperor."
To put it bluntly, the imperial concubine is desperate.
Originally, she was negative among the empress dowager, clan, and courtiers, so where could she be?Could it be that if she is cautious now, others will look at her high?
It's better to take advantage of the emperor's liking to seek some real benefits.
Forbearance and shame flashed in Xiao Cheng's eyes.Even if he is a prince and a nobleman, he will always live in the humble shadow of his mother's family.
The Liu family started as a sesame oil shop in the past. Later, Concubine Liu Guifei's father donated an official position and became a county magistrate from the county magistrate.
This is of course the number one person in the local county, but in the huge capital city, it just adds to the jokes.
Anyway, the second prince is the one who hates sesame oil the most.If a new cook puts sesame oil in his soup without knowing it, he will definitely get angry, and he will only let it go if he loses it.
No one can understand Xiao Cheng's depression.He knew that his father's mother's house was the Baoninghou Mansion, so he never really understood how frightened and hardworking a prince like him, whose mother and concubine came from a humble background, was.
Father only thinks that he doesn't have the calm demeanor of his eldest brother, showing his sharpness in everything.But he didn't want to think about it, the eldest prince was born in a legitimate family, and his back was supported by the Xie family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion.If he didn't stand out, what hope would there be for the throne.
Concubine Liu Gui patted the back of her son's hand distressedly: "You are really only for the sake of the Liu family when you become concubine mother? Concubine mother is for you."
"Now this test shows that your father really has me in his heart. Since this is the case, we can take this opportunity to plan your marriage."
"Mother's concubine's background is a drag on you, so you have to carefully select the best girl from a family to be the concubine, so that you can compete with the Cheng'en government."
"Even if the empress dowager obstructs it, as long as your father makes an order, it will be done. If it doesn't work out, I will be seriously ill. Your father will never disregard my last wish."
"Mother Concubine!" Xiao Cheng was taken aback, he didn't want to risk his mother's life for the sake of marriage, moreover, the reason why the emperor looked at him differently was mostly because of his love for the noble concubine.
Concubine Liu Gui smiled, and what she said was that Yan Shi Mei Xing was particularly moving: "That's just what I said. Now I can't get here. Just looking at today, I can tell that your father is partial to us."
Xiao Cheng thought for a while and said, "The girls that the Empress Dowager called into the palace to raise herself are naturally the best."
Concubine Liu Gui smiled: "Sure enough, our mother and child are connected. I think so too. It's just that you don't have to think about the merchant girl. Even if the royal family doesn't care about seniority, the emperor can't make the Baoninghou's mansion biased. Well, the Chu family has long since lost. Those who are in power, but rely on the queen mother and queen mother in the palace to keep her airs."
As for the two clan girls Xiao Lirong and Wen Shan, they were not considered at all.
Then only Zhu Yuniang and Lin Daiyu are left.
"Zhu Xiangguo is about to retire next year to make room for the Marquis of Baoning."
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly: "Although he has many disciples, it's unknown how many contacts he will have left behind. Besides, Miss Zhu's family is just a granddaughter among his many descendants."
It's just that the Zhu family has fewer daughters and loves them more, but they can't compare with their sons.
"The daughter of the Lin family is pretty good. Lin Ruhai will be transferred back to the capital after the next year, and that is the position of Minister of the Household Department. The emperor also gave him the false title of Prince and Taifu. It is obvious that he will be reused. The best thing is He only has one only daughter, if he can marry her, I am not afraid that Lin Ruhai will not be used by me."
Although the Hubu Shangshu is also a second-rank official, he is not in the same breath as the Xunyan Yushi who was released to the outside world.
This is a powerful official who holds the lifeline of a country's economy, second only to the prime minister and the minister of officials.If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's combination of talent and virtue, his integrity and integrity, and his never forming a party for personal gain, and the fact that the Lin family's population was poor, the emperor would not have given him such an important position.
The second prince is now thinking about it.
Concubine Liu Gui's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "My dear son, you are now grown up, and you are really thoughtful. That Miss Lin came to pay a visit today, she is a stunning beauty, just because of her looks, My son is not at a disadvantage. It doesn't matter if he looks weaker, naturally your concubines and concubines should be picked carefully."
Xiao Cheng smiled: "It's better to be weaker. If someone has an idea, it's hard to handle."
Concubine Liu Gui is no longer weak and weak in front of the emperor, instead she gets up and walks around, thinking about this matter: "It's just that Miss Lin is only ten years old, but you are fifteen. You two are so different in age. The one is a little bigger. There are still people coming back and forth with me today, and Empress Tete found out a gold collar that she gave as a dowry, and said she would give it to Miss Lin. Maybe she had the same idea as us."
"The fifth prince is just ten years old. If the queen is called to form Miss Lin and the fifth prince, then the eldest prince will have a capable person on his side—Lin Ruhai not only has a high official position, but he is also related to the Rongguo Mansion by marriage. Didn't Wang Bagong's power also fall to the eldest prince?"
Concubine Liu Gui wanted to bury nails in Zhaoyang Palace, but Empress Xie was a vegetarian, and her side was like an iron bucket.
There were only one or two little maids looking at the storehouse, who were closer to Concubine Liu Gui.Coincidentally, Empress Xie found out the gold collar on purpose today, but she missed it to Concubine Liu Gui.
So Concubine Liu Gui only became a queen just like herself, and she took a fancy to Lin Daiyu as her daughter-in-law, so she had to make extra plans.
The author has something to say: Chanchan: Why is everyone thinking about my sister Lin!

It's just that these girls came from quite noble backgrounds, and everyone in the harem didn't have to meet each of them. The Empress Dowager Shang only asked Yunzhu to lead them to report to the lords of the palaces to recognize their faces, so that they would not be in the palace in the future. don't know.
The emperor has only been on the throne for more than half a year, he has not been drafted, and the palace is full of old people from the palace.Except for Empress Xie, their backgrounds are not as good as these girls.In addition, everyone knew that these girls were called into the palace by the Empress Dowager Shang, and they didn't dare to insult the Empress Dowager.

Noble, virtuous and virtuous, the noble concubine is the head of the four concubines. Back then, the Queen Mother of Shang was only a Shu concubine. In the end, there was no noble concubine in the emperor's dynasty.The county magistrate's daughter, Piansheng Liu, became a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace.
The Empress Dowager Shang didn't give her son a good face for several days.

In fact, Concubine Liu Gui is not so beautiful, but her style is extraordinarily moving, with a charming and lazy charm. From Shang Chanchan's modern point of view, this kind of woman with all kinds of charm is really from the eighties to the next. An irresistible temptation for eighteenth-year-old men.
Of course, that's why she didn't discuss the Queen Mother, the mother-in-law's favorite reason.This is a model of vixen in the eyes of any mother-in-law.
It was even because of Concubine Liu Gui that the Empress Dowager Shang chose many court ladies to enter the palace under the pretext of choosing escorts.I plan to screen the concubines of my grandchildren in advance, lest there be another Liu family.
Not only was Concubine Liu Gui's background not high, but she was very low in the harem.Her father was only a county magistrate at first, and he was also a court lady when he sent his daughter to the palace.Later, the Liu family was awarded to the current emperor, and after giving birth to a son, he became a side concubine, and his father's official position was slightly moved up.
It wasn't until His Majesty ascended the throne that Aifei's father was rewarded with a magistrate.
So she didn't dare to show off in front of these real noble girls, she seemed very kind and praised them one by one.It's just that the imperial concubine doesn't read much, just a few words.
Miss Wen was so extravagant, Miss Zhu was so beautiful, and Miss Lin was so beautiful. When she praised Shang Chanchan, she was a little stuck. She paused and said, "Miss Shang is so cute."
Shang Chanchan: ...I understand.
There is nothing else to praise but cuteness.
When Xiao Lirong led the women's army to fight in Concubine Xian's palace, Concubine Liu Gui frowned slightly and began to sigh.
Her natal family also has a ten-year-old niece, and after a few years, it's time to pick someone else.It would be great if he could be taught by the queen mother like these girls.Let's see if those wealthy families dare to criticize her Liu family's daughter.

According to the permission of the palace, each of them can bring a maid into the palace, and the others are palace maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Naturally, Shang Chanchan brought the oldest and most stable Poria into the palace, and found that Daiyu did not bring Zijuan, but snow geese into the palace, so Shang Chanchan asked.
In her impression, Daiyu relied heavily on Zijuan, even more than the snow geese brought by her family.
Daiyu laughed and said, "Zicuckoo is a servant girl of Rongguo Mansion after all, since I'm going home, I can't take her into the palace again."
Shang Chanchan nodded: That's right, Daiyu is only ten years old now, and there are at least six years before the collapse of the Rongguo Mansion in the book.And Zijuan really got Daiyu's attention, or after two or three years, Daiyu and Baoyu had a connection, and Zijuan pointed out this matter, destroying Daiyu's lifelong plans.
That's fine, Zijuan is a genuine Baoyu party, and he can't wait to put Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu together.Now they are estranged, and they will not be able to cause the accident where Baoyu went crazy in the future.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager Shang left Chanchan and Daiyu alone to talk.
After only a few words, Bizhu walked back and forth, saying that the queen came to pay her respects.
Originally, the Empress Dowager Shang was afraid that the Queen would be hurt, so she didn't call her, but she came here by herself.
Empress Xie's face had already returned to being dignified and peaceful, and nothing could be seen.He just looked at Daiyu with a smile, then took a gold necklace inlaid with red treasures and oriental beads from Xueliu behind him, handed it to Daiyu himself, and said with a smile: "This is the dowry of my palace back then. If you hit it off, I'll give it to you."
Shang Chanchan: ...Why does my sister Lin also have gold!We don't want that kind of golden marriage.
But this gold collar is really extravagant and gorgeous, Shang Chanchan's eyes are dazzled by looking at it.
Empress Dowager Shang said with a smile: "The queen has brought out something good. Who doesn't know that your Xie family has been a general since the founding of the country, and is the most wealthy. Look, you have watched us Chanchan. But if it wasn't for Chanchan, Lin The girl may not be able to enter the palace yet, just for this, the empress, you have to take some good things from yourself and give them to us, Chanchan."
Although it is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, but because Liu Guifei is an eyesore in front of her.The queen who has a gentle temperament, a deep understanding of etiquette and justice, and can give birth to sons has become an excellent daughter-in-law in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Shang.
As a result, the relationship between the two was quite harmonious, and the Empress Dowager Shang was very willing to joke with the empress—it was one thing to like Empress Xie, but it was another to express her dislike for Concubine Liu Gui—anyway, Concubine Liu Gui was here in Fengjing Palace. Never faceless.
Empress Xie laughed and said: "The queen mother has spoken, no matter how stingy my son is, I can't hide it." As he spoke, he took off a sapphire bracelet from his hand.
I saw that the bracelet was crystal clear, as magnificent as a piece of azure sea water.
Shang Chanchan fell in love with it the first time she saw it: she traveled back to the ancient duke's house, she saw a lot of gold and jade, and saved a lot in the small treasury.But such a clear and beautiful sapphire is rarely seen.
Empress Xie smiled and said, "When I was a daughter, my grandfather got it when he went on an expedition to Burma. Because such a clean and large sapphire is rare, my mother planned to use it as a family heirloom for my daughter-in-law of Xie's family, but later I entered it by order. The palace, my mother quietly gave it to me."
There was a look of nostalgia on her face, she didn't even use Ben Gong, and talked about me.
Since Empress Xie wanted to please her mother-in-law, she naturally had to show the best attitude towards the merchant's daughter.
So he took out all the things he had loved for many years, and joked: "Since the queen mother has spoken, and the son-in-law sees that Chanchan is really cute and cute, he reluctantly parted with her."
Empress Dowager Shang was very satisfied with Empress Xie's attitude, and said with a smile: "Chanchan, take it quickly. The empress is bleeding today, and she took out two really good things."
This pair of the most honorable mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world were exchanging courtesies and enjoying themselves happily when they saw Jin You, the chief eunuch in charge, come to report the matter with a low eyebrow.
Although Dai Quan was the Minister in charge of the Daming Palace, it was Jin You, the eunuch who was in charge of the palace, who really followed the emperor day and night.
Therefore, even the empresses of the palaces and the princes were quite polite when they saw him.
Outside the palace, Dai Quan and Jin You were even more majestic. Whoever saw them wouldn't bow their hands and address them as inner ministers.
However, at this time, Jin You had a particularly low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, and slipped in against the wall like a pissed off daughter-in-law, knelt down and said, "Go back to the empress dowager, the imperial concubine passed out today due to discomfort."
Empress Dowager Shang remained unmoved: "Oh, I'm dizzy."
Even Shang Chanchan could hear a trace of joy.
Jin Youdui said with a smile: "The imperial physician went to make a diagnosis and treatment, and said that the imperial concubine has a stagnation in her chest, and her liver qi is out of balance."
Empress Dowager Shang frowned: "Then let the imperial physician take care of it, why bother to come back to the palace. Could it be that the imperial physician of Fengjing Palace is transferred to the noble concubine? I'm not afraid of ruining her luck."
Jin You hurriedly apologized, and said with embarrassing brows and drooping eyes: "Who dares to transfer the imperial physician of Fengjing Palace? Your Majesty has a golden eloquence, and everything must be closely followed by Fengjing Palace."
"It's just...it's just that the imperial concubine is depressed, saying that she misses her relatives. The emperor agreed to bring the imperial concubine's niece to meet him in the palace, and said, also said, that Miss Liu and Miss Shang should study together."
As soon as Jin You finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Shang slapped the table.
"presumptuous!"
From Empress Xie onwards, everyone present hurriedly stood up, bowed their heads and stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
"The Liu family is a small household, if Liu's hadn't given birth to the second prince, based on her background, she would dare to pretend to be a noble concubine. This palace will take advantage of a noble person for her!"
"It is my palace's consent to ask her daughter to come to the palace to accompany the princess to study. I asked the emperor to ask his brother, Prince Zhongyong, if he agrees, and then ask Aunt Pingning if he agrees!"
Not to mention Xiao Lirong from Prince Zhongyong's family, she is a legitimate princess and the girl with the highest status in the palace.
Princess Pingning is the emperor's aunt, the emperor's sister, and the first daughter of Empress Xiaoyi.Her direct granddaughter is also of noble status.
Further down, the Chu family, the merchants, are all decent Hou's and Bobo's houses.
And Zhu Xiangguo and Lin Ruhai are also first-rank officials, and there have been several generations of princes and hairpin tassels in the family.
The daughters of these families are brought up by the queen mother in the palace, which is the icing on the cake, adding a touch of royal splendor to their already noble lintels.
But what is the Liu family!
Ten years back, Liu Guifei's father was only a county magistrate.
Pushing forward 30 years, the Liu family is still selling sesame oil!Now that her daughter has gained power, she has become a genius.He dared to plot against the Queen Mother's upbringing, and the princess accompanied him to such an honor.
The imperial concubine is so proud of being favored, she fainted to invite her, which only annoyed the Empress Dowager Shang, and of course it was even more annoyed that the emperor agreed.
If all the girls from the Liu family could be accompanying students, where would the princess Pingning's face be placed?Doesn't it imply that the Liu family can sit on an equal footing with the eldest princess?
It is estimated that with the temperament of the eldest princess, she can enter the palace the next day to ask for her granddaughter's resignation, so it is not appropriate to accompany her.
If he was with the girl from the Liu family, the empress dowager's upbringing would not add to the glory at all, but would degrade his status!
The emperor was fooled by the vixen, and actually agreed to such a thing.
Jin You lay on the ground, almost wishing he could get under the ground and disappear on the spot.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was not good at scolding the emperor directly. Seeing that Jin You was still lying on the ground, she yelled at him: "You slaves only want to curry favor with the emperor. If you let me know which one of you instigated the emperor to promise Liu's matter, I will not expose you."
Jin You had a bitter face: Once the imperial concubine's request was made, they knew it was not good.However, the imperial concubine acted coquettishly and foolishly, and the emperor agreed. How dare they persuade her? Wouldn't that mean offending the imperial concubine to death?
So now I can only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, bear the Queen Mother's anger, and only hope that the Queen Mother can only curse a few words, but don't pass the blame.
Empress Xie settled down, her face was calm, and she was also sneering in her heart: Mrs. Liu was so spoiled by the emperor's favor that she dared to do something like this to offend the clan and important officials?
Princess Pingning is one of the highest-ranking persons in the clan today. If she shows her attitude, it will be difficult for Concubine Liu Gui, who has a shallow foundation, to communicate with the clan from now on.
Although Zhu Xiangguo wanted to become an official, he was full of peaches and plums and had a wide network of contacts; Baoninghou's mansion was not to mention simple in the emperor's heart, an upstart in the court; as for the Lin family, Lin Ruhai would go to Beijing in the future to be the secretary of the household department— —These people are all important ministers among the important ministers.
Concubine Liu Gui offended all these people in one go.What kind of official will her son Lang come out in the future?
The most important thing is that Concubine Liu Gui still has to hang out in the harem, so she might be crazy if she tried her best to offend the Empress Dowager Shang.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shang said angrily, "Where's the emperor?"
Jin You was scolded by the empress dowager for no reason, so he refused to hide it for the noble concubine, lying on the ground and said: "Report to the empress dowager, the emperor is still in Wuyang Hall."
Wuyang Hall is the palace of the noble concubine.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Shang began to pat the table again: "Call him! The imperial concubine has fainted and he wants to accompany her. You go and tell the emperor, only that I have fainted too!"
The Empress Dowager Shang really made the emperor dizzy with anger, and said all the angry words.
The main reason is that the emperor's recent affairs have been really dishonest.
That Jia Yuanchun in front made the empress dowager a lot of trouble, and within a month after he left, the emperor wanted to get another girl from the Liu family, so it's no wonder that the empress dowager got angry.
Jin You got the order, as if he had been pardoned, he quickly got up and slipped away.
Empress Dowager Shang looked at Empress Xie: "Queen, go back. You don't need to worry about this matter."
Empress Xie bowed and took her leave, sincerely: "Then everything will be entrusted to Empress Lai."
Among other things, the Empress Dowager Shang is indeed protecting her.It stands to reason that she is a queen, so she naturally wants to restrain the harem, but if she does something, it is inevitable that the emperor will mistakenly think that she is not lenient enough for the concubine.
Only when the Empress Dowager takes action, can I get rid of the relationship.
Just for this matter, the sapphire bracelet just now was not given away in vain.
Seeing that the queen mother was really annoyed, Shang Chanchan hurriedly took the tea cup from Bizhu and handed it over to her personally.Daiyu also held the tranquilizing pills that the queen mother took daily, preparing for the queen mother to take the medicine.
The Empress Dowager Shang has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she has never seen any scenes.The reason why she was angry just now is that she doesn't need her to suppress her temper now, she can just do it if she wants to. To say that Concubine Liu Gui can really piss her off is also flattering Concubine Liu Gui.
Now seeing the two beautiful and lovely girls surrounding her, the Empress Dowager Shang smiled again.
At the same time, in Wuyang Palace, the second prince Xiao Cheng was standing beside his mother, and the 15-year-old boy's face was full of clouds.
Just now the emperor was called away by the Empress Dowager, and now there are only Liu Guifei, mother and son here.
"Mother and concubine only cares about the Liu family and doesn't think about her son at all! You have offended the emperor's grandmother terribly by acting like this. Even the royal family and the ministers of the court have been offended. How will you let your son gain a foothold in the future? How?" Go and compete with big brother for the crown prince!"
Concubine Liu Gui didn't have to pretend to be pitiful when she saw that the emperor was gone, she just sat up and said: "Everyone thinks it's a stupid thing for concubine mother to think about the past and ignore the future, don't you think so?"
Xiao Cheng suppressed his anger: "I also ask my concubine to let me know."
He felt that his mother wouldn't be so stupid, otherwise she wouldn't have spoiled the palace for so many years.
There was a cold light in Concubine Liu Guidan's eyes: "The empress dowager doesn't want to see me very much, and it's useless for me to please you. Ever since the emperor made me a noble concubine, has the empress dowager ever looked at me directly, even this is not good for you, my own grandson. It's very cold. It's not as close as it is to the First Prince and Fifth Prince."
"Since that's the case, why should I follow her? It's better to get what I can get. As long as the girl from our Liu family enters the palace, it can prove to the harem and the former court that the palace is favored."
"As for offending Eldest Princess Pingning, there's nothing wrong with it. The clan didn't want to deal with me in the first place, so what if they offend us more severely? Besides, they don't dare to disrespect us, otherwise it would be a shame to the emperor."
To put it bluntly, the imperial concubine is desperate.
Originally, she was negative among the empress dowager, clan, and courtiers, so where could she be?Could it be that if she is cautious now, others will look at her high?
It's better to take advantage of the emperor's liking to seek some real benefits.
Forbearance and shame flashed in Xiao Cheng's eyes.Even if he is a prince and a nobleman, he will always live in the humble shadow of his mother's family.
The Liu family started as a sesame oil shop in the past. Later, Concubine Liu Guifei's father donated an official position and became a county magistrate from the county magistrate.
This is of course the number one person in the local county, but in the huge capital city, it just adds to the jokes.
Anyway, the second prince is the one who hates sesame oil the most.If a new cook puts sesame oil in his soup without knowing it, he will definitely get angry, and he will only let it go if he loses it.
No one can understand Xiao Cheng's depression.He knew that his father's mother's house was the Baoninghou Mansion, so he never really understood how frightened and hardworking a prince like him, whose mother and concubine came from a humble background, was.
Father only thinks that he doesn't have the calm demeanor of his eldest brother, showing his sharpness in everything.But he didn't want to think about it, the eldest prince was born in a legitimate family, and his back was supported by the Xie family of Duke Cheng'en's mansion.If he didn't stand out, what hope would there be for the throne.
Concubine Liu Gui patted the back of her son's hand distressedly: "You are really only for the sake of the Liu family when you become concubine mother? Concubine mother is for you."
"Now this test shows that your father really has me in his heart. Since this is the case, we can take this opportunity to plan your marriage."
"Mother's concubine's background is a drag on you, so you have to carefully select the best girl from a family to be the concubine, so that you can compete with the Cheng'en government."
"Even if the empress dowager obstructs it, as long as your father makes an order, it will be done. If it doesn't work out, I will be seriously ill. Your father will never disregard my last wish."
"Mother Concubine!" Xiao Cheng was taken aback, he didn't want to risk his mother's life for the sake of marriage, moreover, the reason why the emperor looked at him differently was mostly because of his love for the noble concubine.
Concubine Liu Gui smiled, and what she said was that Yan Shi Mei Xing was particularly moving: "That's just what I said. Now I can't get here. Just looking at today, I can tell that your father is partial to us."
Xiao Cheng thought for a while and said, "The girls that the Empress Dowager called into the palace to raise herself are naturally the best."
Concubine Liu Gui smiled: "Sure enough, our mother and child are connected. I think so too. It's just that you don't have to think about the merchant girl. Even if the royal family doesn't care about seniority, the emperor can't make the Baoninghou's mansion biased. Well, the Chu family has long since lost. Those who are in power, but rely on the queen mother and queen mother in the palace to keep her airs."
As for the two clan girls Xiao Lirong and Wen Shan, they were not considered at all.
Then only Zhu Yuniang and Lin Daiyu are left.
"Zhu Xiangguo is about to retire next year to make room for the Marquis of Baoning."
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly: "Although he has many disciples, it's unknown how many contacts he will have left behind. Besides, Miss Zhu's family is just a granddaughter among his many descendants."
It's just that the Zhu family has fewer daughters and loves them more, but they can't compare with their sons.
"The daughter of the Lin family is pretty good. Lin Ruhai will be transferred back to the capital after the next year, and that is the position of Minister of the Household Department. The emperor also gave him the false title of Prince and Taifu. It is obvious that he will be reused. The best thing is He only has one only daughter, if he can marry her, I am not afraid that Lin Ruhai will not be used by me."
Although the Hubu Shangshu is also a second-rank official, he is not in the same breath as the Xunyan Yushi who was released to the outside world.
This is a powerful official who holds the lifeline of a country's economy, second only to the prime minister and the minister of officials.If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's combination of talent and virtue, his integrity and integrity, and his never forming a party for personal gain, and the fact that the Lin family's population was poor, the emperor would not have given him such an important position.
The second prince is now thinking about it.
Concubine Liu Gui's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "My dear son, you are now grown up, and you are really thoughtful. That Miss Lin came to pay a visit today, she is a stunning beauty, just because of her looks, My son is not at a disadvantage. It doesn't matter if he looks weaker, naturally your concubines and concubines should be picked carefully."
Xiao Cheng smiled: "It's better to be weaker. If someone has an idea, it's hard to handle."
Concubine Liu Gui is no longer weak and weak in front of the emperor, instead she gets up and walks around, thinking about this matter: "It's just that Miss Lin is only ten years old, but you are fifteen. You two are so different in age. The one is a little bigger. There are still people coming back and forth with me today, and Empress Tete found out a gold collar that she gave as a dowry, and said she would give it to Miss Lin. Maybe she had the same idea as us."
"The fifth prince is just ten years old. If the queen is called to form Miss Lin and the fifth prince, then the eldest prince will have a capable person on his side—Lin Ruhai not only has a high official position, but he is also related to the Rongguo Mansion by marriage. Didn't Wang Bagong's power also fall to the eldest prince?"
Concubine Liu Gui wanted to bury nails in Zhaoyang Palace, but Empress Xie was a vegetarian, and her side was like an iron bucket.
There were only one or two little maids looking at the storehouse, who were closer to Concubine Liu Gui.Coincidentally, Empress Xie found out the gold collar on purpose today, but she missed it to Concubine Liu Gui.
So Concubine Liu Gui only became a queen just like herself, and she took a fancy to Lin Daiyu as her daughter-in-law, so she had to make extra plans.
The author has something to say: Chanchan: Why is everyone thinking about my sister Lin!
