Originally, Concubine Yizhong was the aunt of King Yizhong, and the Emperor Taishang emphasized filial piety. Everyone did not look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face, but for the sake of the Emperor Taishang and Yizhong County King, they all treated her with three points of courtesy. Yizhong County King made a fuss.Although everyone said on the surface that it was the King of Yizhong County, who got his eyes into the eyes of the money and forced his aunt for a few 10 taels of silver, but now, the King of Yizhong County has been punished and has been demoted. , was also trapped in Ping'an Prefecture.The king of Yizhong County became the Duke of the county, but he was not in front of everyone. After a long time, it is inevitable that some unkind words from the concubine Yizhong were spread, and the spread spread more and more widely.

So this year's Concubine Yizhong's birthday, many people just dealt with it.

I don't want to, this day is approaching, Princess Duanhui actually got the edict of long live and went back to the palace for a short stay from the palace. Now, the capital exploded.

The most disciplined place in the world is the royal family, but the most unruly place in the world is also the royal family.

It is said that a husband dies and a son is born. In fact, there are too many women in the folk who have nothing but rely on men. When they are young, they rely on their fathers. When they are young, they rely on their husbands. Only when the husband dies and obeys the son.

So for most women in this world, not having a son is a disaster.

But the royal family is different.Like Concubine Yizhong, as an abolished concubine and concubine, her rank of concubine is a concubine. Although Duke Yizhong was deposed as a noble, it has nothing to do with her. She is still a concubine conferred by the court. There is a salary.

That is to say, she does not rely on Duke Yizhong for the elderly.

Since she doesn't need to rely on this bastard to provide for the elderly, why should she wrong herself?

As for the gossip outside, what does it have to do with her?Her daughter is the royal princess, and the marriage of the royal princess is different from that of the subjects. No matter how serious the rumors outside are, can it affect her daughter's marriage?That being the case, what did she have to worry about?Instead of worrying about those who have and don't have it, it's better to take the opportunity to teach her daughter some tricks about housekeeping and socializing.

Concubine Yizhong has already discovered that her daughter is very interested in these things, and probably because she was raised in the folk, she seems to have an indescribable uneasiness about social interactions, for fear of causing taboos.In the view of Concubine Yizhong, there is absolutely no need for her daughter to worry so much.However, this social interaction is a compulsory course for the noble ladies of the capital, even if the daughter is a princess, it is okay to learn more.

Of course, one is to teach, and the other is to teach. When teaching her daughter, Concubine Yizhong was also forgotten to bring Lin Daiyu with her.

Only then did Concubine Yizhong put her arms around Lin Daiyu, next to Miaoyu, pointing to a thick stack of gift slips to teach the two children:

"...Actually, when people give gifts, they usually give some products from their own fields, or add some homemade dried meat. This is the case with the Shuxiu that Confucius received back then. This is a serious ancient gift."

Lin Daiyu looked at the gift list and said, "But Madam, it's not like this."

The concubine said: "Yes. The atmosphere today is very different from that of the past."

Miao Yu wondered: "Isn't it like this in the court when my mother was young?"

The concubine said: "As far as I know, my father and several of his old friends have made it clear that they will not accept gifts exceeding two taels of silver."

Of course, Taifu Zhang made friends with his old friends through paintings and books. In the eyes of others, their words are worth thousands of gold, and they even exchanged moistening brushes for tea in private. , but it's just my own words.

This is all calculated separately.

"No...then how could my grandfather get my mother's 180 dowry?"

The concubine smiled and said, "I am the concubine, so the dowry is naturally prepared by the royal family. My father only gave me some calligraphy and paintings from his collection, or some calligraphy and paintings that he is satisfied with but not out of line, as the bottom of the box."

Concubine Yizhong was married into the imperial palace as a crown princess, and her dowry had to be placed in the eastern palace, and many things bought by the subjects could not be placed in the imperial palace, so the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also joined in to help with the preparations. Dowry.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked.

Miaoyu was dumbfounded.

She said in a daze, "Then, how much money did the royal family spend on mother's dowry?"

The concubine replied: "120 million taels of silver."

If the emperor marries the queen, the treasury will pay 200 million taels of silver, and the imperial concubine will be demoted to 160 million. Although the crown princess is equal in rank to the imperial concubine, she will be demoted to another class as a junior, 120 million.

Even though the Ministry of Internal Affairs decided that the prices of many things would be inflated after the Ministry of Internal Affairs assisted in the cooking, the things purchased for 120 million taels of silver might only be half of the price, but there are many things inside that are exclusively for the royal family.Therefore, the account here is actually difficult to calculate clearly.

Miaoyu was speechless: "120 million taels of silver? I have been tossing around with the princess' sign for two years, but I still haven't earned such a big fortune!"

The concubine laughed: "You child! What's the point of comparison! You've only been tossing around for two years, but I'll spend the rest of my life on this 120 million dowry!"

Having said that, but because she doesn't want her husband and hasn't given birth for a long time, it's inevitable that she doesn't agree with her. After ten years, the dowry has been tossed a lot. Later, after being trapped, she took the dowry in exchange for hot water. After 20 years, there is not much left.

Concubine Yizhong didn't want to talk about these sad things, so she picked up the list and said it to the two children in detail:

"Actually, gift giving is like that. In the beginning, generous gifts were only given to people and officials, and later, because of the wind of comparison, it became necessary to give generous gifts. This kind of thing is different from that of other families. You are all girls’ families, and you don’t need to send any gifts now. At most, it’s a friend in the boudoir, or some gadgets from sisters, needles and threads made by yourself, or gadgets from outside. One or two friends share and share, the gift is light and the affection is heavy, and the gift is enough. However, it is extremely important to see the attitude of each family from the list of gifts.”

Miaoyu and Lin Daiyu immediately realized that it was meat, and unconsciously straightened their backs.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion from outside, and then, a servant came in hurriedly, knelt down and said: "I want to report to your empress, the young lady of Ningguo Mansion is gone."

Lin Daiyu was puzzled.

She was young and knew nothing about Qin Keqing's real identity.

When Miaoyu heard this, she frowned immediately: "No more?"

at this time?Now when the concubine's birthday is approaching?

The concubine said: "I heard that she has been bad since last year. I think she really can't support it. Let me give you a gift." After a pause, she said: "Although she is the young mistress of Ningguo Mansion, she can Her husband is white after all, just follow the rules."

Qin Keqing is the concubine of the old Prince Yizhong?Suicide?

The concubine didn't want to dirty the ears of the two children with these messy things.

Those who can serve in front of Concubine Yizhong are not fools, and immediately realized that Concubine Yizhong completely regarded Qin Keqing as the daughter of the Qin family, and never thought of recognizing this concubine at all.

So is the fact.On the bright side, Concubine Ping's daughter was proud and expensive. When she was confined to the North Palace, she died because of a cold. The royal family has long since lost such a small princess, and Qin Keqing is just Qin Keqing.

Because of Concubine Yizhong, no one dared to say these things anymore, but Miaoyu couldn't stay in Prince Yizhong's mansion all the time. After Concubine Yizhong's birthday, she still wanted to go back to the palace go.As a result, on the first day back to the palace, he first paid homage to the queen, and then sat down in his own room. Through the window, he heard someone talking about Qin Keqing's funeral.

Miaoyu was very upset: "In the mother's harem, is there still someone talking about this? Bad luck is not bad luck!"

Zhaoxun heard that with just one look, his aunt immediately went out to reprimand those little maids.

Miaoyu thought that it was because these little maids did not have jurisdiction over the days when she was not in the palace, but she didn't want to, after two days, the queen occasionally caught a cold and fell ill.As soon as the empress fell down, the hearts of the people in the palace fluctuated, and even the empress's palace lost its rules, and there were more and more gossips.

Today, when she heard that Baoqin was talking about Qin Keqing's funeral in the room with the little maids, which showed the power of the Jia family, she was furious, and immediately shouted: "Come on! Send these girls to Shen Judiciary!"

Jia Yuanchun was scared out of his wits, and hurried up to intercede:

"Your Highness! Your Majesty is sick, please save some virtue for your Majesty."

Looking at Jia Yuanchun who kowtowed again and again, Miaoyu said coldly: "Ms. Jia, twenty boards!"

The queen is sick, and you little maids are actually talking about the funeral. Isn't this a curse? What is the queen? !Still call me to accumulate virtue for the queen?

Are you threatening me?

The moment she saw Jia Yuanchun's eyes, Miaoyu knew that this girl probably got the news and thought she was about to make a fortune, that's why she did so.

Others dare not provoke Jia Yuanchun, but she doesn't care about the Zhen family and the Jia family!Don't say that you will be crowned as an imperial concubine in the future, even if you climbed to the throne of empress, you are nothing more than a female history now.As a princess, Miaoyu can really punish her!

Miaoyu directly called the eunuch in charge of the Punishment Department, and in front of all the palace people in the Queen's Palace, she stripped Jia Yuanchun's dress and beat him down twenty times.

As for Baoqin and other young ladies, they were directly thrown into the Punishment Department.

The emperor of Zichen Palace got the news and directly rewarded Miaoyu with two sets of head and face jewelry.Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager also rewarded two sets of jewelry and two sets of clothing.

The palace was strictly forbidden, Miaoyu punished Jia Yuanchun, everyone in the palace knew about it, but outside the palace, especially Jia's family, they didn't know anything about it.

They are still jumping up and down to keep in touch with relatives and friends.
