Yongzheng period

The concubine's position was once vacant, and Xue's promotion should be the same as her concubine's promotion. "

The noble concubine is vacant, and the most qualified concubine among the three concubines is Concubine Duan, and there is one less concubine, so naturally another one should be raised from the concubine position, I am afraid it will be Concubine Hui... Thinking of this, the empress pressed down Feeling depressed in his heart, he said with a smile, "It's true that the palace hasn't been sealed off for a long time."

Yongzheng waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I won't turn over the cards tonight, but I want to correct the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation—Huang Er Niang, so my son will not disturb Huang Er Niang's rest."

"It doesn't matter," the Queen Mother said with her forehead, "The Queen and Gong Chang are here to stay and have dinner with Ai's family."

"Yes."

After leaving the Palace of Compassion, Yongzheng's face turned cold, "Su Peisheng, go and tell Concubine Yu and Xia Yi to be optimistic about Xue Shi's child, and there is no room for loss."

Su Peisheng secretly looked at Yongzheng's expression, and said yes in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Yongzheng could see through their minds, it was nothing more than a way to remove the mother and keep the children, the Empress Dowager might want to seriously damage Xue's body, and then slowly consume it.In this era, giving birth to a woman is a real step into the gates of hell, so in the future when Mrs. Xue died suddenly, people would only think that she was injured during childbirth, and no one would suspect the queen who had adopted the child.It's a pity—the queen sees that she has the chance to win, so how can she have extra patience?

As for Mrs. Xue, a fish would still be dying on the chopping board, let alone a human?Yongzheng really wanted to see this man's methods.

In mid-August of the fourth year of Yongzheng, the six palaces were sealed: Concubine Duan was promoted to "noble concubine"; concubine Hui was promoted to "concubine"; ;Wei promised and Zhang promised that Jin would 'always be here'; the rest of the concubines who had not been enfeoffed by Jin would be rewarded with double monthly salary, and the queen was considerate of concubines who were pregnant. It is scheduled for the beginning of October, and the ceremony for the concubine Xin is to make up after giving birth.

Concubine Hui has only been in the palace for only one year, and she has jumped from the fifth-rank "noble man" to the third-rank "concubine" just by her grace. Then look at her two pregnant concubines: Concubine Xin's qualifications are old. The fetal side suffered so much that it became one of the six concubines; although the noble man raised his birth and was promoted to a position, he could not personally raise the emperor's heir.Therefore, all the concubines were naturally envious of Concubine Hui's Long Chong, and with the help of the nobleman, the eyes of the six palaces converged on the Changchun Palace for a while, and the queen was even more troubled sleeping and eating.

Yikun Palace

The night was dark, approaching early autumn, the cold wind was blowing very bleak.The concubine Nian was wearing a thin jacket, looking at the dimly lit palace in the distance, and could faintly hear congratulatory voices in her ears.

Nian Shilan looked away and asked Songzhi, "It's very lively today, is there any happy event in the palace?"

Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Songzhi hurriedly put on the cloak that she had prepared in her hand, and said cautiously, "There are two new pregnant concubines in the palace, and the queen mother recovered from illness, so she was sealed in the harem."

After Songzhi finished speaking, she was worried that she would feel uncomfortable, and there was a look of regret on her face.

Seeing her like this, Nian Shilan just smiled bitterly. A year of life that was no different from being in the cold palace not only smoothed her mind, but also made her think about many things clearly.So she just gathered the cloak around her body, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, it's my fault to fall into such a situation, what else can I think? It's a burden to you, although fortunately the emperor is magnanimous and spared his life, but I have to accompany you This palace is wasted in this Yikun Palace."

"What's your mother talking about?" Song Zhi's eyes turned red, "I will accompany my maid wherever I go."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a female voice say from the corner door, "Miss Songzhi is really a rare loyal servant." Then two sneaky figures flashed in.

When the two people walked into the candlelight prescription and revealed their faces, the one who spoke was the emaciated concubine, but the other person was not the concubine's capable female voice sleeve, but a delicate and handsome court lady, judging by her attire, she should also be favored by the master First-class maid of honor.

Song Zhi let out a surprised 'Ah', and Nian Shilan couldn't help squinting her eyes. She asked herself that she treated Cao Qinmo well, but she didn't want to be betrayed by him.Seeing that this former betrayer dared to appear in front of her now, even though the past was in turmoil, she still had a hard time liking him.

What's more... Nian Shilan stared at the ugly palace maid without saying a word.

The court lady was also obedient, she stepped forward and said, "The servant girl is Wen Xing, the great court lady next to the nobleman of the Yanxi Palace, and the concubine Jin An."

"Oh? This is a rare visitor." Concubine Nian raised the corner of her mouth, "This palace, Yikun Palace, has lost its popularity a long time ago, so don't be disgusted by poor hospitality."

"How dare a concubine—!" Xiangfei took a step forward, looking a little embarrassed, with an eager look but hesitating, "Don't dare, don't dare to say goodbye to your mother."

The concubine Nian became more and more disdainful, and said indifferently, "Don't let the concubine Xiang say 'mother', you and I are both one of the six concubines, and I am still a sinful concubine, it is really polite."

The concubine's expression became even more anxious when she heard the words, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine was confused because of Wen Yi!" Then she knelt down and said mournfully, "The concubine was deceived by lard at that time... The queen threatened her concubine with Wen Yi again... The queen, she is really—! I beg your empress to look at Wen Yi—"

"Okay," Nian Shilan really couldn't look at Xiangfei's appearance like that when she cried and exposed her crimes to the queen, interrupted her and looked at Wen Xing, "What about you?"

Wen Xing lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "The servant's master just wanted to ask the empress a word: 'The empress must have the queen's hand in the field today, and I don't know how the queen treats the empress—does the empress keep it in mind?"

In an instant, Nian Shilan reappeared her majesty as a concubine who was in charge of the palace power and aloof, and said coldly, "I will not trouble you to remind me."

"How dare my young master disrespect your empress?" Wen Xing said humbly, "Just now, can my slaves and empress Xiang concubine share a detailed story with your empress in the hall?"

Concubine Xiang also looked at Nian Shilan when she heard the words, Nian Shilan couldn't help but tighten her lips, and said lightly, "Songzhi go and look outside."

Concubine Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, while Wen Xing who was at the side said softly, "This slave will never disappoint my mother."

The former dynasty and the harem have always been a family, and Baochai's pregnancy and Yingchun's promotion finally brought a little life to the declining Jia family.Seeing the momentum in the palace, those people who were following the trend joined Jia's family again.

After the incident in the Ning Mansion, the status of the Jia family plummeted, and all the female family members of the Ning Mansion lived in the Jia Mansion, which had shrunk in size by a large circle. ', the crowd couldn't resist her, so they had to set up another small Buddhist hall for her; after Jia Zheng lost his official position, he devoted all his time to educating Baoyu, but the latter was really a stubborn jade, so he got angry and just beat and scolded her. Once or twice, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were alarmed and cried out.

The old mother burst into tears, and said to Baoyu, "Your old man beat you, and I want my life, my old woman!" ’ Mrs. Wang also cried about her eldest son Jia Zhu, who died young, and said, "If Zhu'er is still here, how can I care if he killed you?!"

So ordinary, Jia Zheng could only let out a long sigh, put away his hands and no longer disciplined him, and only discussed knowledge with a few Qingliu disciples.Baoyu pretended to be well-behaved for a few days. Seeing that she was sheltered by her grandmother and mother, and not controlled by her father, she put aside her books and spent the whole day hanging out with girls like Xiren, saying, "My sister is long, but my sister is short". Meeting Xue Pan, Jiang Yuhan, etc. outside, changed his temperament even more.

Another thing is that the Jia family was short of money and Yu Sheng was short of money. Jia Zheng was really surprised and angry when he inspected the internal affairs in his spare time.

It's just that Jia Zheng has no talent in internal affairs, and Jia's mother's position cannot be changed, so Jia Zheng simply and rudely attacked all the servants in the mansion who rely on their seniority to sell their elders, Lai everyone is on the list.Lai Da and the others had no choice but to ask Jia's mother. Jia's mother still felt shameful and reprimanded Jia Zheng for "doing what the boss Lu Meng did." After checking the account books, she could only sigh, and scolded Mrs. Wang after a meal I don't care anymore.

All the servants were naturally full of resentment, and the Jia family's reputation was even worse.

As for the matter of money, Mrs. Wang was also worried: when Xue's mother was around, she was naturally no shortage of candidates for borrowing, and most of the property left by the Xue family was squandered by Xue Pan, and all of it was a hole for the Jia family. Inside.Later, Mrs. Wang took advantage of Baochai's small election to make connections to make her lose the election. Xue's mother also left Jia's house. Mrs. Wang was not willing to pawn the shortfall with Wang Xifeng's own treasury items before, so the loopholes naturally became more and more wide big.

Mrs. Wang thought of Sun Shaozu, who saw the downcast Jia family coming to collect debts a few days ago, and later fawned on him.

A girl is thin-skinned, but if she talks about her interests, it's best for her to admit it for herself.I would like to take the time to talk to the third girl first—if I am not satisfied, there are two low hoofs like Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, so I am afraid that she will not agree to anything?

Mrs. Wang secretly planned something in her heart, and she felt that it was feasible, and she was more satisfied and more at ease.After only a few days, we can find a good time to discuss this matter with Sanyatou.

Changchun Palace

"Ah! Big!" Ma Jiagui threw out the domino excitedly, and said with a smile on his face, "But I won again?"

"Yes, yes," Daiyu said helplessly when she saw that she was impatient to count the cards again, "Your size is also a master, anyhow, how can a girl be a money-seeker?"

"You can't say that," Yunhui said squinting, "Although this yellow and white thing is common, everyone loves it! I am a common man, and I don't like poems and songs. Don't laugh at me, who
