[Comprehensive] The Secret of the Concubine's Palace

Since the emperor of the Holy Dynasty came to the throne, the main palace was changed from Changdeokgung, which was always favored by later emperors, back to Gyeongbokgung.This also made Shen Caijing very happy. When mentioning Changdeok Palace, it always reminded her of some unpleasant things.And Gyeongbokgung Palace... is the palace where he once said that there will be a piece of heaven and earth for her.

"General Li's expedition this time is very dangerous. The Japanese pirates are fierce and cunning, and they are full of tricks. Please be careful, general. If the general can fight to the death for the Goryeo Dynasty, he will surely win another victory for our dynasty! Wait for you to return from victory , I will reward the three armies and personally celebrate for you!"

"The last general obeys the will of the king! For my Koryo country to not be invaded by Japanese pirates, it doesn't matter if the last general waits; for the glory of my king, the last general will not hesitate to wait even for the corpse of Ma Ge!"… …

"My queen."

"General Li? General Li, you're going to go on a long journey soon, right?"

"Yes, the Japanese pirates invaded my territory, and the last general will eat the king's salary, so naturally he has to share the worries for the king. Madam, you—"

"General Li... Please leave the palace early and make preparations!"

"Yes. But the general is about to leave the capital and go to the border. I'm afraid he won't be able to protect the empress for a long time. I also ask the empress to take care of the phoenix body and be careful of those... treacherous thieves. The general is afraid, so I will go to destroy the queen this time. The Japanese pirates will break at the border, please take care of yourself!"

"Wait a minute, General Li!... In ancient times, it was said, 'If you are drunk with wine, you will be full with virtue. A gentleman will last forever, and you will be blessed." Now the general, as the general of our dynasty, is about to go out to protect those who have suffered from the Japanese pirates. The people of the Li people. This kind of merit is naturally no worse than offering sacrifices to the gods. People say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. General Li will return safely and victorious this time!"

Following the guidance of Shang Gong and the palace officials, Shen Caijing gradually entered the palace.The imperial palace in front of me has also been baptized by the flames of war, and then underwent large-scale repairs after the first emperor ascended the throne.Therefore, in this group of ancient buildings, there will naturally be a modern Western style.

Going straight along the corridor, she was taken to the Jiaotai Hall where the queen lived.It seems that the queen didn't want to show her off by letting her go. After waiting for a while, the queen arrived.

"Shen Caijing?" Min looked up and down the girl in front of her without any trace. She was well dressed, and the sitting posture she saw when she entered the door seemed to have undergone very strict etiquette training, and she felt a lot of comfort in her heart.

"Yes, empress. The youngest girl is Caijing from the Shen family." Regarding court etiquette, Shen Caijing knows everything about court etiquette, no matter if she is from the Yuan Dynasty Mongolian, Han or Korean.Before entering the palace, she thought that if she returned to this environment, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.But in fact, after entering the palace, she felt a familiar sense of relief.This bizarre feeling made her want to call herself a masochist.

But people are like this sometimes, when they get used to a living environment, they will feel comfortable.

Take the imperial palace for example. When discussing with Li Xin, she also thought that the imperial palace was too strict, with strict rules and no freedom to do anything.But when I was outside, I had too much freedom, and I often met some people who were 'not self-disciplined', and Shen Caijing would inevitably feel unbearable.This is a matter of habit.

"I called you into the palace this time because of the engagement between you and the crown prince. I want to hear your opinion. When the first emperor made the appointment with your relatives, you were still very young. Now, as a party to the engagement, what do you think?" Woolen cloth?"

When the queen opened her mouth, Shen Caijing was a little surprised. Why did it sound like this? The queen seemed to be expecting her to disagree.The royal family, don't you really want to marry the prince right away?After much deliberation, it must be that the queen thinks that her family background is not good.Come to think of it, even though grandpa was once a good friend of the emperor of the Holy Dynasty who was born and died, and said everything, the royal family didn't take the Shen family seriously at all.

Grandpa didn't take advantage of his friendship with the first emperor to make money and gain power. He was just a commoner, but he was looked down upon by these people!This can also explain why even if she half sold the two paintings, the royal family failed to protect her father after being cheated, and when grandpa passed away, there was no decent person to attend the funeral.

Shen Caijing felt righteous indignation for a while, even if the world situation is like this, she is also a little angry.

"Your Majesty, according to what my little girl thinks, she is willing to accept this marriage." Shen Caijing was not surprised to find unexpectedness and troubles on Min's face.

"Oh? Is that so? I thought you would strongly oppose this marriage!" Min seemed a little upset.

In fact, if she wanted the prince to marry, of course she meant to choose a lady from a famous family.In her opinion, the prince's education was too loose and crooked.Just in need of a daughter of a famous family who received strict traditional education since childhood to help him get back those bad habits.

But the Empress Dowager always insisted that Shen's daughter be the princess because she was handpicked by the emperor of the Holy Dynasty. Her arm couldn't twist her thigh at all.The only thing I can look forward to is that this girl from the Shen family who likes to be "unique" doesn't like being a princess and refuses to marry.According to the personality of the girl in the investigation, this is still very possible.After all, in the palace, these little girls who have been "raised free from childhood" will not be used to it.

But unfortunately, she had a feeling from the moment we met.The girl in front of her didn't seem to be entering the palace for the first time.No, it should be said that she didn't seem to come from outside the palace, but she seemed to have stepped out of the palace.

Min laughed secretly that she was already so troubled that she had such an illusion, but what Shen Caijing said next made her previous 'illusion' even stronger.

"Why don't you want to, empress? My daughter was brought up by her grandfather since she was a child, and she has also heard the saying that 'a gentleman is worth a thousand pieces of gold'. The agreement between His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty and his grandfather is the agreement of a gentleman. The daughter came from a humble background, and the emperor Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager are actually not disgusted, and are willing to fulfill the marriage agreement in order to maintain the honor of the emperor of the Holy Dynasty."

"The little girl is unworthy, but she doesn't want to shame her grandfather's reputation. If she persists, the little girl is naturally willing to marry into the palace. This will not only complete the decades of friendship between His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty and the little grandfather, but also the emperor of the Holy Dynasty. Your Majesty's love for the Shen family. The young girl Pu Liu's posture really wronged His Highness the Crown Prince. But fortunately, after receiving the indoctrination of my grandfather for more than ten years, I think that virtue can still be passed on to the family and passed on to the next generation, and I can live up to the saint. A piece of wrong love towards His Majesty the Emperor."

"Actually, my daughter already knew about the marriage contract with His Highness the Crown Prince, and she has already made psychological preparations. Although I never thought that the Empress would bring up this matter before His Highness the Crown Prince was underage, and even specially called my daughter into the palace..." Shen Caijing said A long list, did not give Min a chance to speak at all.One is because the speaking speed is neither fast nor slow, but there is no gap at all, and the other is because the Min family has been blocked and speechless.

However, she continued: "But since His Majesty needs the little girl to enter the palace at this time, the little girl must do her best to share the worries of the royal family just like the grandfather."

Sitting there, Mrs. Min didn't know what to say for a moment.To be honest, she has never met a young girl like Shen Caijing in all these years.Fortunately, the queen mother arrived at this time.

The queen mother was obviously afraid that she would make things difficult for the future princess and came to the 'rescue'. She wanted to make a quick decision before because she avoided this.But neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law thought who would be rescued.

Shen Caijing's words not only pointed out the extraordinary friendship between her grandfather and the emperor of the Holy Dynasty, but the royal family was indifferent to it after the death of the old emperor; She, a commoner girl, came here to obey the rules; she finally said, "The emperor must have something to marry the prince in such a hurry, so the marriage between my sister and your prince is not because of my sister's advantage, but to help your royal family solve problems." !

As soon as these big pieces came out, they even guessed close to 80% of the truth, which broke the defense of the unprepared queen.

The Empress Dowager had eyes and ears by the Empress's side, and when the Empress got angry, she got the letter very quickly.She felt that for a girl of this age to speak so impeccably and secretly, she must be very deep in her thoughts.

She originally thought that the civilian granddaughter-in-law appointed by the Emperor of the Holy Dynasty would be a lively and lively character.Because he always talked about 'too much to go' at the beginning, she thought she would find a 'fresh human' to enter the palace to dilute the dignified court atmosphere that had grown up in less than 100 years!

But after being surprised for a while, she felt that Shen Caijing's words and etiquette were impeccable, so she stopped her thoughts and concentrated on chatting with this "future granddaughter-in-law".She was able to agree to enter the palace so happily, and the prince's marriage could proceed smoothly, which is really gratifying.

After Shen Caijing left, Empress Dowager Park and Queen Min sat together and chatted about Shen Caijing.

"The empress and Shen's daughter have talked for so long before, and she should know her better than I do. What does the empress think of this daughter, should she be a crown princess?" The empress dowager rubbed the photo with Shen Donghuan left by the emperor of the holy dynasty in her hand, "Why do you always feel that the daughter of the Shen family has the feeling of 'following the rules' against common sense?"

"It may be because the old man of the Shen family is very serious about the marriage contract and has been brought up rigorously since he was a child!" The queen replied, "The concubine looks at her beautifully, but she is a little more sensible than the concubine when she was young. Yichen From the concubine's point of view, Shen's daughter can be the crown princess."

"Oh?" The empress dowager was very surprised by the empress's attitude. It was strange that Shen Caijing choked on Shen Caijing just now, but now she seemed to have a good impression of her. "The queen seems to have a good impression of Shen's daughter?"

"Yes, empress. Although what she said just now was a bit offensive, it was true. The concubine saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing, and she was obviously very righteous, but her etiquette was still impeccable. She was obviously going to marry into the palace, but she still refused to suffer. This is a strong child. These qualities are not possessed by the prince. The education of the prince is too loose. With such a concubine to assist him, I believe he will have improved."

When the Min family said this, the queen mother also nodded in agreement.

"It's just that, because of this, this woman's personality is too tough. After entering the palace, she still needs to grind it out." The queen concluded in this way, and actually voted for Shen Caijing's entry into the palace.In fact, she also has her own ideas.

Back then, she was married into the royal family as the concubine of the maharaja, but now Huizheng Palace is the crown princess who needed her to treat with respect.It's not that she didn't notice the matter between Huizheng Gong and her husband Li Xuan, but from the beginning until now, it couldn't be announced.Although Huizheng Palace had already been driven abroad by the former emperor, it might not be possible that he would not come back one day.

Especially the emperor's body is getting sicker and weaker day by day, maybe one day, that woman will come back with her child to make trouble for her.With a concubine who is as strong as Shen Caijing but can't make any big mistakes, the prince can stand up.The battle with Huizheng Gong was equivalent to adding a powerful helper to her.After all, there is no crown princess who is unwilling to become a queen, and no queen is unwilling to have her son inherit the throne.

With Shen Caijing, it is equivalent to protecting Li Xin's lineage for at least two generations without worry.

"Yes, this requires the empress to strengthen the education of the concubine." The queen mother nodded, "The emperor of the Holy Dynasty has never made a mistake in his judgment. This time, the Shen family's crown princess will definitely bring new ideas to the palace. What about the weather!"
