The fourteenth blessing of the koi carp in the Qing Dynasty

"Your Majesty, these are the maids selected this year," said this person dressed as a first-class court lady, and the pink flag dress on her body looked even more delicate.Sitting on the chaise longue next to her was a woman in a light yellow flag dress. The woman was in her 20s, resting with her eyes closed and her head resting on one hand.

Sitting there, she felt very gentle and casual, but when she opened her eyes, the sternness in her eyes betrayed her.

The maid of honor knew that the master was unhappy, so she didn't say much, she just pointed at the place where Ma Yuzhu was standing, and whispered in her ear, "The few over there are the ones that the Duke called." What they came for, they all knew in their hearts.

She herself didn't realize that her eyes were full of jealousy when she said this, yes, she is the coat of the Tong family, and she was the one who followed Concubine Tong from concubine concubine to struggle, it stands to reason that the master is inconvenient to serve and must be elected Nominate her.It's a pity that Concubine Tong is said to be gentle and intellectual by others, only those who serve around them know how narrow-minded and calculating she is.

Serving beside Concubine Tong, if she finds out that you look at the emperor more, she will send you away the next day. The best thing is to do a rough job. If it is serious, she will find a reason to send you away. Department of Prudence.This is not a big deal, Tong Guifei's favorite thing is to demote people to the Gong room to wash the Gong bucket.

Concubine Tong Gui said she was a concubine when she entered the palace, but she was actually treated as a concubine.There are four imperial concubines and two nuns, all of whom can be brought from home.Of course, because Concubine Tong didn't have the concubine's golden book and seal, her salary was halved, and the maids only brought two people with them, and there was only one nanny.

Of course, the Tong family has the ability, and these people were recruited by the Tong family after Concubine Tong was promoted.Generally speaking, Tong's family gave Concubine Tong Gui a lot of confidantes, and the one in front of her is the one she trusts the most.

The palace lady looked at those people with ill intentions, especially the beautiful Wu Yashi.She lowered her head and showed a cruel smile. The imperial concubine looks ordinary, but the most annoying thing is her beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament. It is said that Wu Ya's family sent a beautiful one here this time, and she is really stupid after seeing it today.

Concubine Tong didn't speak, she just opened her eyes to look at them and then closed them again. If she didn't speak, others would not dare to open their mouths, Chengqian Palace was quiet for a while.

Long before she came to Chengqian Palace, Ma Yuzhu was ready to be made things difficult, but she didn't expect Concubine Tong Guifei to be so arrogant without hiding it.It was the Tong family who let them in to be favored, and now it is the Tong family who gave them the power. Really, the Tong family is not afraid that they will regret it if they get the favor?

Fortunately, Ma Yuzhu had suffered a lot in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past two months, and she was no longer the innocent little girl who didn't work hard at all. She just squatted down and saluted like everyone else with a blank face.This kind of ceremony is the most testing, even if her forehead is sweating, she dare not move a little.

I don't know how long it has passed, it feels like a century is so long, Concubine Tong finally had enough tossing, she started slowly, "Is this what came up in this year's election?" The person who was sent by the Tong family said, "These few are my thoughts, so let's keep them."

The remaining ones who were not selected were brought back by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Of course, this does not mean that they have no chance to make it to the top, and those who stay may not be better than them.

Concubine Tong looked at the young and tender girl below, her malicious eyes were about to turn into reality.These are all those who want to rob her cousin, and all those who rob her are sluts.She didn't even want to look at it, and directly ordered: "Let's start with the crude ones."

"Yes," Ma Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief.

When she was about to go out with the crowd, Concubine Tong suddenly said, "Wait, what's the name of the one in dark blue over there?"

The palace maid froze for a moment, and then she showed such a look, she stared at Ma Yuzhu with an unfriendly expression, "Your Majesty asked you something, and you still haven't answered?"

Ma Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The slave girl Wu Yashi was named Ma Yuzhu before entering the palace."

"Presumptuous, how dare you go against your empress." Being able to become the Grand Palace Maid, she naturally understood Concubine Tong Gui's thoughts best. Knowing that Tong Guifei wanted to deal with her, the Grand Palace Maid immediately jumped out to be the pawn.

Ma Yuzhu was completely stunned, why did she bump into the imperial concubine?She was worried that the imperial concubine would make things difficult for her, so she followed the rules when she answered, unless the imperial concubine was not asking her.

Seeing Ma Yuzhu stunned, the palace maid said triumphantly: "There is a word for jade in the taboo of your empress name, but your name is Yuzhu, what is it if it's not a collision?"

Ma Yuzhu hurriedly knelt down, "I know my mistake," she knew in her heart that it was Concubine Tong who wanted to beat her, and she didn't try to explain that she didn't know the name of her concubine, she just knelt down and admitted her mistake.

Ma Yuzhu didn't know that it was normal for Concubine Tong's name to be taboo. The Tong family had more restrictions on women from the Han army. Let alone the Tong family, no one's daughter's name taboo would be known all over the world.These girls were called so-and-so miss and so-and-so girl when they were in the boudoir, and if they had a title, they were so-and-so princess or princess.

She and Concubine Tong are not in the same age group, and the Tong family didn't say that her name collided with Concubine Tong.Ma Yuzhu felt aggrieved, but she also knew that this was not the time to defend herself. The first rule of harem survival taught by the nuns: When the master says you are wrong, what is needed is not your excuse, but confession.

That's the only way to feel less guilty.

"Then change your name to Wu Zhu and go to the laundry room." Wu Zhu has eyes but no eyes.

Although Ma Yuzhu was unwilling to be given a nondescript name, she was relieved.That's fine, she didn't want to go to Concubine Tong at first, although the laundry maid is the lowest, she doesn't have to worry about being missed by Concubine Tong.

Many people have seen Wu Zhu being disgusted by Concubine Tong. Naturally, the mothers of Chengqian Palace would not let her touch the clothes of the concubine. Ma Yuzhu only washed the clothes of maids and eunuchs.It’s okay in summer, but in winter, I wash clothes in cold water for a whole day, not to mention my fingers are frozen, and there will be a lot of chilblains.

Although life is bitter, Ma Yuzhu is very satisfied. She once met Emperor Kangxi from a distance, and the appearance of a young emperor is generally not comparable to that of her A Lin.If she could, she still hoped to survive until the age of 25 before leaving the palace. Compared with the hardships of leaving the palace now, it was nothing.

For three years, Ma Yuzhu stayed in the laundry room like this for three years. One day, she was starching and washing clothes when she saw a person dressed as a court lady walking over. The court lady looked down at her, "You are Wu Yashi ? Come with me, your luck is coming."

Ma Yuzhu looked at the clothes in the basin in embarrassment. It was not so easy for a court lady to wash the starch. She couldn't finish the work and had no food. She didn't know how long she would be there. What should I do with these clothes?

"Leave as soon as I tell you to go, why do you want the empress to wait for you?" The palace maid looked impatient, if it wasn't for her ordinary looks, the emperor would look down on her, such a good thing is never heard of before. Jacobs?

Ma Yuzhu nodded submissively, and after three years she stepped into the main hall of Concubine Tong Guifei again.

Concubine Tong looked at her, and had to admit that Wu Yashi was indeed a beauty, and even the cheapest dark blue flag dress could not conceal her beauty.Surely a beautiful cousin like this won't forget, right?She really didn't want to push Wu Yashi up.

Concubine Tong Gui was still hesitating, the nurse next to her gently tugged her, Concubine Tong Guifei took a deep breath, "Don't go to the laundry room, and you can follow me and be a second-class first." After saying this, she asked someone to take Ma Yuzhu down.From the beginning to the end, Mayuzhu was at a loss.

Said it was second class, Concubine Tong Guifei did not arrange any work for her, but the nurse next to the concubine gave her some ointment to wipe her hands. "Your hands are too rough, take good care of them. When you get rich in the future, you can't forget the support of the imperial concubine."

For some reason, Ma Yuzhu's heart pounded when she heard this, and she always felt that Mammy's words implied something.

Because she was not active in wiping her hands, unless someone was watching, she would never touch the ointment.And although Tong Guifei did not restrict her freedom, she would never leave the room.

But even so, someone still found it.The visitor was somewhat familiar, and she thought for a long time before she remembered that this was the grand maid she had seen beside Concubine Tong when she first entered the palace, but at this time the grand maid was already dressed as a concubine, so she should be a regular presence in terms of her grade.

At this time, the successor Queen Niu Hulu was in power in the palace, and the concubine system was much more perfect than when the emperor first came to the throne. Under Niu Hulu was the noble concubine Tong Jia, and Tong Jia was also the only high-level concubine. The nobles Nala and Ma Jia were the ones who had given birth to the emperor.The others are Changzai, Xuxu and some concubines.

Seeing her, Ma Yuzhu, was a little surprised.Xu Changzai, who was the former imperial concubine Tong Guifei, looked Ma Yuzhu up and down, especially at her hands, and she sneered: "You are smart."

Xu Changzai sneaked in, and she didn't go around with Ma Yuzhu, she opened her mouth and said, "You must still be wondering why Concubine Tong Gui called you out. Ben Chang told you in a good heart, she, I want to borrow your belly to have a baby." As she spoke, she reached out and tapped Ma Yuzhu's belly.

"However, Ben Chang is kind enough to remind you that she is not kind. Don't be so stupid as to believe everything."

Isn't she a good example.

Seeing that Ma Yuzhu was listening seriously, Xu Changzai didn't leave, so he simply sat down and told her everything she knew.

Speaking of it, it was because of the successor, the Hesheli family passed away in the Yuan Dynasty, and the selection of successors is not so strict. Concubine Tong has been staring at her, and her relationship with the emperor, even if there is Concubine Niu Hulu watching covetously , she thought it was a sure thing.

But who knew that the two people who were originally evenly matched, Kangxi suddenly made Niu Hulu the imperial concubine, and at the beginning of this year he even directly made the queen.

Concubine Tong felt uncomfortable, so she unconsciously brought it out when she was serving Kangxi.Kangxi was very angry. He felt that his cousin didn't understand him. When was this?Sanfan, he was busy withdrawing. The canonization of the Niu Hulu family was not only because of her noble character, but also because of the Niu Hulu clan.

But the considerate cousin didn't feel sorry for him, but she still made trouble with him.Who is Kangxi?He is the lord of the world, he was in a bad mood, and got off Concubine Tong's bed when he got angry.But he also knew that when he left at this time, there would definitely be rumors coming out tomorrow.

Originally, he planned to spend the night in the side hall, but Liang Jiugong would beat him once in a while, which would completely embarrass Concubine Tong Gui.

"Oh, I happened to be serving that night. The emperor only took a few glances at me, and she taught me a lesson. She thought that this matter could be hidden from the emperor. How could he know that the emperor already knew about it, but he was busy. , I don’t have time to come to the harem.”

I don't know whether to call her unlucky or lucky. When the emperor came to Chengqian Palace again, he happened to run into Concubine Tong and teach her a lesson. Concubine Tong said that she was delusional about toads, toads wanted to eat swan meat, and dared to miss the emperor.Concubine Tong's words were difficult to listen to, and the emperor listened to all those words.

Who is Kangxi, who he wants to favor, not to mention the successor Niu Hulu, even the Empress Dowager, will not control him too much, let alone Tong Guifei is just a noble concubine.

Perhaps because he was confused, Kangxi favored Mrs. Xu, that is, her, in the side hall that night.And on the second day after being favored, Chang Zai was sealed.

Xu Changzai always thought that he was hiding well, but he didn't know that Tong Guifei had already seen through her thoughts on the emperor.At this time, Concubine Tong hated her, but many people in the palace were watching Concubine Tong's excitement, and she couldn't show it, and her heart became more and more unhappy.

Regardless of the dissuasion of the foster mother, she insisted on giving Xu Changzai sterilization drugs.

Perhaps the emperor didn't intend to let Xu Changzai have a child, but Tong Jia's actions still made him angry.

For this reason, Tong Jiashi lost a favor for a while.

At this time, Duke Guoyi's mansion sent another little Niu Hulu family, who was the successor's younger sister.This one is not like the successor who is infertile, she is young, and the Tong family finally couldn't bear it.

"Mrs. Tong warned us, the imperial concubine, that when the family tried their best to send someone in, it was for your solid favor. If you don't use it, let the younger sister of the family come. It just so happens that Tong Guifei's own sister is ten years old. You can enter the draft this year."

"Our Concubine Tong can't even accommodate a coat, let alone her own sister. No, she came to you. It's just that the emperor is busy with political affairs now, and there are no beauties in the palace. How can he who is not particularly outstanding?" Appreciate it?"

At this time Xu Chang was not talking, and Ma Yuzhu also understood, no wonder the nanny didn't let her do anything, only let her take good care of it, so that was the idea.She didn't know what happened to the people who came in later, but they were indeed the most beautiful.

The nails of Ma Yuzhu's hands dug into the flesh, but now people treat me like fish with knives, what else can she do except obey?

"I'm telling you this to let you be careful not to be deceived by Tong Jia's appearance. Also, if you can, it's best not to get pregnant." After saying this, Xu Changzai left. She took advantage of Tong Jia's appearance. She didn't sneak over from the palace, Chengqian Palace is Tong Jia's territory, so if she stays for a long time, she will inevitably be discovered.

Don't think that she said this out of kindness, she could tell that Ma Yuzhu didn't want to be in the top position, and she must hate Tong Jiashi very much in her heart when she was forced to be helpless.How about letting her know that Tong Jiashi didn't intend to let her live at all?

She did her homework before she came here. This Wuya family is different from others. Although she, Ama, is only a fifth-rank official, not as good as her own family, she Mafa used to be a first-rank official, and it is said that she also worked as an imperial kitchen. steward.Wu Ya's family is also the coat of arms for generations, such a person will always have some connections in the palace, unlike her family who can't use any strength.

This Wu Ya family can stay in a place like the pulp washing room for three years, which shows that he has a heart.If she wanted to, she might not be able to give Tong Jiashi a little bit of trouble.

That's right, she is here to sow discord, there is no conspiracy, just present the facts to her, clearly.

She didn't want to be so sterilized, but who made Tong Jiashi feel sorry for her first, and gave her a sterilization drug.Without a proud family background, how could she be promoted if she couldn't have children?How could Xu Changzai be willing to go out of the palace in such an old and dead palace?

It's a pity that Xu Changzai still underestimated Concubine Tong's control over Chengqian Palace. She went to find Wu Ya's matter, and Concubine Tong knew about it when she came back.

"Since she knows, call someone over." Concubine Tong said reluctantly.

Now that her cousin has a grudge against her, she can only push someone out. The mother is right, a man's favor is unreliable, and she still needs a son.Others don't know that she knows in her heart that Niu Hulu's family can't have children. If she has a son, she may not be able to compete with the crown prince.As for Wu Ya's biological mother, she didn't care at all.

I want to know what Xu Changzai will say to Wu Yashi, but so what?This is her Chengqian Palace, Wu Yashi is the grasshopper in her hand, she can pinch it however she wants.

Ma Yuzhu was brought to the main hall, Concubine Tong looked down at her, she finally knew where the maid's demeanor came from that day, she learned from Concubine Tong.

"Sister Wu Ya, do you still remember the agreement between your Wu Ya family and the Tong family? Three years ago, you were still young, and this palace also planned to let you sharpen and sharpen. The harem is different from your Wu Ya family. Human life. You are very good, you have lived up to Bengong's expectations, and tomorrow the imperial physician will come to see Bengong, so you come with me."

"When you take good care of your body, it's time to fulfill your Wu Ya family's promise. Don't follow that bastard Xu's example. Without my protection, let alone having a child, your life is hard to say."

As the emperor's natal family, even though it is the Han army flag, Concubine Tong Gui is still proud.Even if she wanted to use Wu Yashi, she would not lower his noble head.

Ma Yuzhu lowered her head, even though she had guessed Tong Guifei's purpose earlier, she was still sad in her heart.

Concubine Tong Gui asked the imperial physician to check the pulse of a court lady, because the imperial physician could clearly see why. "Your Majesty, this girl is very healthy and suitable for having children." The imperial physician is a confidant of the Tong family, and since he knew Concubine Tong's purpose, he respectfully addressed her as a girl.

Of course, although Wu Ya's body is healthy, Concubine Tong Guifei asked the imperial physician to prescribe some nourishing prescriptions just in case.Concubine Tong has been infertile for many years, and the Tong family has often found secret recipes for her to have children, and these secret recipes are now also used on Wu Yashi.

Anyway, the Wu Ya clan is not from the Tong family, so they use it more casually.Their purpose is to allow Wu Yashi to give birth to a child safely, and no one cares about the rest.
