The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The peach blossom banquet has a different meaning. The female relatives have no time to rest after returning home, and they have to discuss what happened in the palace with the head of the mansion.

At Soni's house, Soni asked his granddaughter to come to his study, and called his eldest son Kabra and third son Suo'etu to listen in.

"Let's talk about today's banquet." Sony said.

The little girl narrated what happened in the palace, the statement was objective and clear, and she did not see the silence in the palace.

"The empress dowager is very kind. The empress dowager doesn't seem to like anyone, and her words are a bit harsh. But no matter whether the attitude is good or bad, the empress dowager and the empress treat us equally, and we can't see the preference."

Soni laughed and said: "If you little girls can see what you like, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will have lived in vain all these years."

Soni's granddaughter said again: "Among these girls, Mr. Ye Bilong's Gege is the most outstanding. She can write well and speak perfectly and thoughtfully. Mr. Oboi's Gege is gentle and respectful, and quite talented. It's just that the granddaughter looked at her, she seemed to be a little arrogant, but she didn't show it."

"The emperor wants to marry a gentle and virtuous wife, who dares to be arrogant in the palace?" Sony sighed, "It was fine two years ago, but the four ministers were tied together. Now Oboi is getting more and more domineering, With growing power, it is understandable for their family to be a bit arrogant. You didn't have any conflicts with his family in the palace, did you?"

"The granddaughter always remembers her grandfather's teachings, be cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, and don't speak unless she can."

Sonny nodded in satisfaction, "Although I am the head of the four ministers, I am old and weak, and I have no energy or desire to fight with Ao Bai. Your father and your third uncle are just bodyguards and cannot be my help. Our family should be safer Well, I would rather not have this wealth than force it."

The sons and granddaughter listened carefully to the training, and Sony looked at the two sons again, "What else do you want to ask?"

Kabra and Suo'etu shook their heads, and Soni smiled and said to his granddaughter: "My good boy, you have been tired all day, go back and rest quickly! As for whether you can enter the palace and become a queen or concubine, don't worry too much. Zhongliang, as long as you are loyal to the emperor and do your duty well."

The little girl quickly agreed, and left the study after saluting her father and third uncle.

After the granddaughter left, Sony asked the two sons, "What do you think of what happened today?"

Suo'etu asked the eldest brother to speak first, and Kabra thought for a while and said: "Today, Gege from Yebilong's family performed the best. The empress dowager should like her more? As for the empress dowager... her attitude is irrelevant. It's about the previous dynasty, what she said doesn't count."

Sonny looked at his third son, "What do you think?"

Suo'etu said: "My son thinks that after the election, the character should be valued, but what is more important is the position. Oboi is arrogant, and the empress dowager and the emperor have long been dissatisfied. Ye Bilong and Oboi are both people with yellow flags. The interests are the same, and the relationship is stable. If Ye Bilong's daughter becomes the queen, he will not be able to oppose Oboi, but will only add support to the Xianghuang Banner. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Empress Dowager to choose Ye Bilong's daughter as the queen."

Sony nodded in satisfaction. His eldest son was mediocre, but his third son, Suo'etu, had better brains.

Being an official in the court is difficult and difficult to say, easy and easy to say.If you can jump out of the court and stay out of the matter, a little smart person can sort out the situation between the DPRK and China.But people are in the middle, the interests are fascinated by the eyes, and it is easy to stumble if you can't see the way clearly in the game.

Kabra said: "According to the third brother, our daughter has a better chance of winning?"

Suo'etu smiled and nodded, "I guess there is a [-]% chance of winning."

Kabra smiled happily, "[-]% chance of winning is a lot!"

Sonny scolded: "I'm happy before even writing the horoscope, there is no city mansion at all! How can I fight against Ye Bilong and the others with this kung fu?"

Kabra thought, Amma has changed really fast. Just now she advised her children not to care about the post-election affairs, but now she is full of fighting spirit again.

Sonny told his sons, "Although Gege in our family is good, he should not act too eagerly. Being in a hurry is not a business. Don't talk too much about the post-election matters to your children. Our child is sensitive and thoughtful. If she talks too much, she will Don't put too much pressure on her."

Kabra and Suo'etu quickly agreed, and the three of them discussed in the study for a long time before they left.

At Aobai's mansion, Aobai learned that his daughter had been scolded, and was so angry that he dropped the teacup on the table.

"Hmph! An incompetent and unfavored queen mother dares to say that about you!"

Obai's daughter wiped away her tears, "Ama, don't say that, I am not the only one being scolded, everyone is being scolded."

Aobai snorted coldly, "The queen mother's father does have some military achievements, but how can he compare with our family. The queen mother's father was only crowned prince by relying on tomatoes, she really has no self-knowledge!"

Aobai's daughter felt that her father was not self-aware, no matter how bad he was, he was still the Queen Mother, how could he insult the Queen Mother behind her back?Isn't that disrespectful?

The little girl persuaded: "Ama! Although you have power over the government, you should be careful when you speak! After all, you are the Queen Mother!"

Aobai waved his hands indifferently, and even disliked his daughter's pettiness.

"You are my daughter, show the style of the future queen, cry every now and then, it's embarrassing!"

The little girl was angry and wronged, she was picked on by the queen mother when she went to the palace, and picked on by her father when she came back, why no one came to comfort her!

Ye Bilong's mansion was full of joy, knowing what happened to his daughter in the palace, Ye Bilong comforted him carefully.

"The queen mother is from Mongolia. The women there are straightforward and unrestrained. You don't have to take what she says to heart. You are not bad in appearance and talent. I have worked in the court, and the queen's position is probably stable. "

Ye Bilong stroked his beard and smiled triumphantly, "Oboi is domineering, the Empress Dowager will never hire his daughter to be a queen. Let's wait first, and when Oboi's daughter is out of the game, Oboi will definitely help our family. I recommend you to be queen."

Ye Bilong had calculated well, and Suksaha, who was automatically excluded by the other three ministers, refused to give up.

He advised his niece to cheer up, study hard and become a female celebrity. Although the chance of becoming a queen is not great, she can still be a favorite concubine!

The four ministers were busy running for the queen's throne, and the empress dowager and Qiqige in the palace were not idle either.

After the Peach Blossom Banquet, the Empress Dowager held two more banquets, inviting girls from the Eight Banners with slightly lower status to enter the palace.

During the three banquets, I saw dozens of girls, but neither the empress dowager nor the emperor showed any preference.They didn't mention the matter of choosing a queen, and whoever handed in the playbook of the proposed election would not publish it.

Just when the ministers were muttering in their hearts, news of the draft came out from the palace.

The age of this draft has been greatly expanded, because the emperor is young, in order to select girls who are similar to the emperor's age, the age requirement has to be relaxed.

Girls in the Eight Banners must go through drafts. When they reach the age, their father and brother will report their names to the banner.When it comes to the year of the draft, they have to inquire about the date of the draft and make preparations in advance.

On the day of the draft, the girl had to get up early, and her father and brother took her into the palace in a carriage.The carriage stopped outside the Shenwu Gate, and the beautiful girls lined up, and when the time came, someone would lead them into the palace.

The show girls stood in a row of six, with a small plaque on their bodies, which stated the official status of their father and grandfather.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor presented the same wooden plaque. At this time, the Empress Dowager and others would leave the plaque on whoever was pleasing to the eye, or who had a good family background.

The show girls who didn't keep their badges got married independently after returning home, and the show girls who left their badges had to participate in the re-election.

At this time, the population of the Eight Banners is small, and there are not many show girls, but the primary election is over in two or three days.Qiqige thought that the primary election would be like the show on TV, taking off people's clothes or something, but she didn't expect the empress dowager and the emperor to just take a look and it would be over.

Girls from high-ranking officials and high-ranking families will definitely be kept as long as they have no serious problems. Girls from small families will have to see if she suits the Queen Mother or the Emperor.

Qiqige put a lot of effort into running this draft. She was afraid that she would be too busy, so she specially asked E Wenzhu and Age to help.

Both of them are concubines from Mongolia, Qiqige can rest assured that they are doing things.

It is relatively easy to arrange the primary election, as long as someone is assigned to manage the order.It's just that the re-selection is a bit troublesome. The show girls who leave the sign have to live in the palace for a while, so that they can observe their character carefully.

The families of the four major ministers are all inextricably linked to Bao Yi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which made Qi Qige restrained when employing people, for fear that there would be spies sent by others among the eunuchs and maids.

The location of the final re-election was set at Chuxiu Palace, and there were 14 girls who were re-elected, with two sharing a room.

Qiqige prepared a series of methods, but unexpectedly, these show girls are all obedient and kind.

Qiqige could only mutter to herself, TV dramas are deceiving me, look at the ladies from rich families, after all, they are more qualified than me.

The show girls lived in Chuxiu Palace, Xuanye was also afraid that they would cause trouble, so he often asked Qiqige about the situation in Chuxiu Palace.

When Qiqige found out, she laughed at him, "What's the matter? They are all educated and literate, so they are as aggressive as me and don't know the rules."

Xuan Ye was still worried, the Queen's matter had a lot to do with it, he was very afraid that Aobai and others would insert their hands into the deep palace.

Qiqige got annoyed when he kept asking questions, and laughed at him when she saw him.

"Little pockmarked face, sitting on the door, crying for a daughter-in-law!"

Xuan Ye's cheeks were puffed up with anger, he was about to reach puberty, and now he knew how to save face.

"I'm talking about business, can Queen Empress be more serious?"

Qiqige is very rebellious, "I can't! It's not a day or two since I don't speak seriously! I won't! What can you do to me?"

Xuan Ye sighed: "Just be stubborn! When something happens, you will know how powerful it is!"

Qiqige clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Impossible, Chuxiu Palace is surrounded by me like an iron bucket, it's guaranteed to be safe!"

As soon as the words finished, Aruna rushed in, "It's not good, ma'am, Lord Sukesaha's niece broke her leg, and she said it was a girl from Lord Yebilong's family who pushed her!"

Qiqige: The sudden slap in the face, my face hurts so much.

Xuan Ye chuckled and said, "Oh, what did Queen Mother just say?"

Qiqige lowered her head, I just said that I will not be caught in this wave.
