Liang Jieyu and Cao Zhaoyi were talking in Jin Zhaoyi's carriage, talking about these show girls in Northern Xinjiang, "Sister, which of these people are created?"

"I see that Alyssa is really good-looking, and exotic, and I can't find a second one in the harem. Liang Jieyu said, "And see that she is careful, she is not a reckless person, and after entering the palace, she will be carefully managed, I am afraid that she will be able to become a climate." ”

"She is a Xiyue girl, she has no family support outside, and there is no rest of the relationship inside, and she has such an outstanding appearance, everyone treats her as an enemy, she is not cautious, let alone wealthy, and she doesn't even have her life. Jin Zhaoyi said.

"If Your Majesty dotes on her and gives her a high score, it will still be a good thing for you and me, naturally there are other concubines to deal with her, and she is tired of coping, and she will be weak in terms of competing for favor. ”

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will only give her favor and not give her a position, so that she will not be able to provoke the eyes of the concubines and ladies in the palace, and we will be fierce rivals. ”

They just don't have a high rank, but they have a lot of time to serve His Majesty.

"The journey is tiring, and she is a border person, and when she first arrives in the Central Plains, it is normal to be a little unadaptable. Liang Jieyu said, "We came from Jiangnan, and there were not one or two on the way." ”

"Stop. Jin Zhaoyi said, "But I was said that I didn't remind you that these things that cause people's lives, when you were still a low-level concubine, don't even think about it, it's a matter of life for life, it's not worth it." ”

"Do you think that in this convoy, you are the only one who has thought of such a possibility?" Jin Zhaoyi said, "Our Majesty is a clear man, and you should not do it unless you are completely sure." ”

"For example, if you are a concubine, you have the protection of the queen mother, such as a virtuous concubine, you have children, your mother's family is a princess, they just did it, but they lost the favor of Your Majesty, and it is still okay to leave a life, your family is not visible, and now you have not gained a firm foothold, and you have no children under your knees, and if you deal with her recklessly, you will only trap yourself in it. ”

"But sister, you also have the protection of the concubine, and you have to be favored by Your Majesty. Cao Zhaoyi asked timidly, she and Hu Peiyun were both asked by Concubine Li, their aunt is the person from Concubine Li's palace, and their current task is to seek His Majesty's favor with all their might, and when they get mixed with high-level concubines, they will take the opportunity to help the concubine, and the king of the county will blow the wind on the pillow.

They naturally knew that Jin Zhaoyi was Concubine Li's niece, so they discussed it and asked Cao Yingzhen to come over and confess her identity to Jin Zhaoyi.

She also has Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, she knows that she can enter the palace is the credit of Concubine Li, but after entering the palace, she has never seen Concubine Li at all, and her understanding of Concubine Li is all from Aunt Li's mouth.

Jin Zhaoyi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "My aunt was above the Queen Mother back then, and now she lives in the side hall of Yushou Palace, how much freedom can she have?"

"If I commit a crime, don't expect my aunt to say something for me, I'm afraid that the queen mother will use my business to crucify my aunt to death. ”

Cao Zhaoyi nodded thoughtfully.

Jin Zhaoyi looked at her, she thought that if she said that she was her aunt's person, would she trust her completely? Aunt pit her into the palace, saying that it was for the Jin family, and in addition to her, she didn't choose one helper after another, she had already figured it out, she couldn't rely on her aunt in the harem, she could only rely on herself, she stood up, and the Jin family outside also had to rely on.

The time of my aunt has passed.

But the helper who came to the door, she didn't want it in vain, Tian Guiren is short-sighted, and now there are better Zhaoyi and Jieyu to accompany her, Jin Zhaoyi exhaled in her heart, and now she endures it, one day she will let others hold their breath in front of her.

"There are a lot of people who don't want her to live, but everyone is waiting for others to do it, and we are not so urgent, so why dirty our hands. Jin Zhaoyi said.

"Zhaoyi is right. Liang Jieyu said, "Since she has no support on the outside and no support on the inside, she can't make enemies on all sides in the palace, if she can be accepted with us, it will not be harmful to us." ”

"That's not going to happen. Jin Zhaoyi shook her head, "I can't say the reason why it didn't work, you can think about it yourself." ”

On the way back to Beijing, Concubine Ying gave birth and gave birth to a princess.

Qi Zongwen was no less happy than the eldest princess was born after seeing the Di Bao, not to mention the generous reward, and let people quickly go to Sanyang Pass to report the good news, and invited General Shen and his wife to return to Beijing to participate in the princess's full moon banquet.

In private, he lay on Qin Yunyi's knees, "Isn't I pretty bad?" ”

"I have been worried before, for fear that Concubine Ying will give birth to a prince, but now that I know that she gave birth to a princess, I finally let go of a big stone in my heart. ”

"Her Majesty the princess likes it too, and Concubine Ying will like it too. Qin Yunyi said, this is not an empty word, the women in the harem want to have a child by their side, it is good to have a prince, but the princess is not bad.

Especially the prince still has the risk of competing for the prince, as long as the princess is raised, out of the palace to marry a concubine, from time to time she can still enter the palace to meet, which is better than giving birth to a prince.

"If Concubine Ying gave birth to a prince, Shen Qing must return to Beijing, my prince can't have the support of the army, it will be a disaster for the family. Qi Zongwen closed his eyes and said.

"Your Majesty thinks so much, so far, aren't you tired?" Qin Yunyi pressed the corner of his forehead, "That woman is not controlled if she gives birth to a male or a female, if Concubine Ying gives birth to a prince, and General Shen must be stationed in the northern frontier."

If you can't go back to Beijing to recuperate, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"

"Then I will hand over Concubine Ying's child to someone else to bring. Qi Zongwen said. "Maybe it's possible to give it to you?"

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense. Qin Yunyi frowned and pushed him, "Mother and son nature, Your Majesty let Concubine Ying's mother and son separate, such a human tragedy, don't mix me in." ”

"What can you do if you're so cowardly?" Qi Zongwen said with a wry smile as he grabbed her hand.

"I'm not a little timid. ”

"Yes, you just have the courage to be against me. Qi Zongwen said, "Believe it or not, no matter if I give Concubine Ying's children to any concubine, they will be grateful to Dade, only you, what kind of human tragedy?"

"Your Majesty was raised by your adoptive mother when her biological mother died early, if Your Majesty's biological mother was there, Your Majesty handed it over to her adoptive mother to raise, and now Your Majesty is not such a mentality. Qin Yunyi said.

"The mother suffers, and so does the child. Qin Yunyi said.

"Then if you want to say this, I can't do such a human tragedy, then I can only stop pampering Concubine Ying, because no one knows if there will be such good luck next time, she will continue to give birth to a princess. Qi Zongwen said.

Qin Yunyi stretched out his hand to cover Qi Zongwen's mouth, "Your Majesty, don't say it." ”

"You don't have to talk to me about these things. ”

Qi Zongwen looked at her, "Am I particularly bad?"

Qin Yunyi shook his head.

"You see, I need the Shen family's influence in the army, so I included his daughter in the palace, but now I am afraid of his influence in the army, so I am unwilling to let his daughter give birth to a prince. ”

"Selfishness. ”

"If Your Majesty can say such things, you can see that Your Majesty is not a bad person. Qin Yunyi said, "It can only be said that when you become an emperor, you have to have these concerns." ”

"Your Majesty. Qin Yunyi looked at him and said seriously, "Your Majesty is no longer the emperor who just ascended the throne and was struggling, Your Majesty is now in power, and in the future, you will only choose what Your Majesty likes, don't let Your Majesty's harem become another court." ”

Qi Zongwen grabbed her hand and put it on his chest, and didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know if Jin Zhaoyi's guess is accurate, everyone in the convoy knows that there is a great beauty sitting in the carriage behind the country, but no one did anything, and they returned to the capital safely and smoothly.

After the queen took over, she saw the fifty show girls, and when she saw Alyssa, she blocked her breath and swallowed it slowly for a long time, "These show girls, how did Your Majesty say the arrangement?"

"Your Majesty said it, and still go through the pattern of the draft. Concubine Song said, "Wait for the full moon banquet of the third princess to decide." ”

"That's it. The queen said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Your Majesty is not in the palace, and it is cold and lonely, just take advantage of the full moon of the third princess to celebrate." ”

The queen waved her hand and asked people to take them down, and then she came to ask Concubine Song about the bits and pieces on the road here, "The concubine wore the clothes of Northern Xinjiang once and played polo, and His Majesty liked it very much." ”

"The rest is that Jin Zhaoyi waits a little more. Concubine Song endured the humiliation and reported these details to the queen.

She has no children and no favors, and if she doesn't stammer with the queen, what way out can she have.

"That lady also met His Majesty on the polo field. ”

"The concubine also has such a big heart, this beautiful woman is not below her, and she is still so young, she is really not afraid that Her Majesty's heart will be taken away by her?" said the queen. "You too, such a scourge, how can you let her enter the palace, and break her with any trick outside the palace. ”

"If the concubine has been to the trip twice, the border girl was cautious and did not get hit, if the concubine has no follow-up, the convoy is not far from the holy car, and the concubine is also afraid of alarming His Majesty. Concubine Song said, "Everyone thinks that the concubine will make a move." ”

"Yes, why didn't the concubine make a move?" asked the queen.

"Guifei, it seems that I have never seen the face of that border girl so far. Concubine Song said hesitantly.

"Hmph, I don't know what she's doing?" the queen snorted. "Before she left the palace, the palace also specially explained to her, so that she should pay attention to the women brought back to the palace by His Majesty. ”

Concubine Song bowed her head silently.

"That's it, among the newcomers that His Majesty brought out of the palace this time, are there any that His Majesty likes?" the queen asked.

"Cao Zhaoyi and Liang Jieyu are among them, and there are more opportunities to face saints. Concubine Song said, "As for whether there is a sleeping room, I don't know." ”

"I'll let Historian Tong come later. The queen explained to the people behind her that she continued to ask Concubine Song carefully, and asked until it was about to dark, and someone from Tianqing Palace said that His Majesty would come to Ditai Palace for dinner, and she let Concubine Song go.

"You go back first, and when this palace thinks of something, I'll look for you. The queen said.

"Yes. ”

Concubine Song was a little unstable as soon as she came out of the Tai Palace, and she was also tired all the way, everyone else could go back to the palace to rest, only she had to deal with the queen with a string, so much of the day, exhausted.

". The palace maid supported her worriedly.

"Nothing. ”
