Chapter 103: Position
Everything is really good.
A few new Jiangnan satins were brought in at the end of last year, no matter the color or pattern, they were not available outside, and they couldn't be better for spring clothes.
There are also two boxes of jewelry, the style is also very elegant and exquisite, and the materials and workmanship are impeccable. The silk of the golden silk is as thin as human hair, the color of the jewels inlaid with the hairpin is gorgeous and dazzling, and the pearls of the soft bracelet string are as big as the chicken head rice, smooth and round, and at a glance you know that it must be the handwriting of the inner house, usually only the ladies in the palace can enjoy such good things.
In addition, there are jade plaques carved from jade, tassels made of white jade, bracelets carved from agarwood, and so on.
The princess seems to have really made a bloody investment this time. just sent a letter to Yao Wang and Yao's mother and daughter, so that the former could rush to the scene to play a round for Wang Concubine and a few Wang aunts and grandmothers, and Wang Concubine gave such a generous reward. Qin Hanzhen always felt that he had probably underestimated the highest-ranking concubine in the emperor's harem in the past.
Although the Wang family has lost power, the princess is in the palace, and her life is okay. These new tribute satins, as well as new jewelry or something, she can take them out at will, which shows that the queen mother and the emperor are really good to her. As a chess piece sent to the palace by the Wang family, she can still enjoy this treatment after the Wang family loses power, which shows that she is by no means simple.
Qin Hanzhen was a little vigilant in his heart. As the maiden family of Empress Qin, she has always supported the crown prince, and the Wang family naturally stands on the opposite side of their Qin family, so she has to be careful to beware of this princess.
God knows what the princess had in mind when she gave so many things?
Yao didn't know if she knew, she was enthusiastically pulling her daughter and niece to pick out those rewards, saying that the elegant color of this clothing was lining Qin Hanzhen's complexion, that jewelry was Qin Jinhua's favorite point cui, this jade bracelet just matched Qin Hanzhen's new dress, and the white jade forbidden step and Qin Jinhua's new set of white jade jewelry could just make a set, and so on. In the end, the best things in the rewards undoubtedly fell into the hands of Qin Jinhua. But no one else can find fault with her, because the most valuable silk gold headdress is all owned by Qin Hanzhen. Although these pieces of jewelry are large and bulky, they are indeed the most expensive and ornate in appearance.
Qin Hanzhen was a little speechless in her heart, but it was not good to argue with the Yao family on this kind of matter, anyway, if she really wanted any jewelry, she could just discuss it with Qin Jinhua in private.
But after Yao's finished dividing the things, he specially instructed her and Qin Jinhua: "The princess treats you generously, and the rewards are all excellent things." When you receive something, you have to know what is good, but don't tell anyone about yesterday, you know?"
She repeated the request again, but what happened yesterday?
Qin Jinhua didn't think so much, she had always trusted Yao's: "Mother, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." ”
Qin Hanzhen was not so happy, but asked Yao's family: "Is this the hush money that Wang Concubine Niangniang rewarded? I accept it, so I have to shut up? If I tell others about yesterday's incident, what will Concubine Wang Niang do?"
Yao Shi was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Hanzhen to say this: "Three girls, you ......"
Qin Hanzhen said lightly: "Didn't the princess and a few nieces and nephews meet in the garden of Cining Palace yesterday, and they quarreled? It's not our juniors' turn to take care of the affairs of adults, so my second sister and I naturally won't talk much. But I specially rewarded things and sealed them...... Then I beg my pardon for not being able to say yes. God knows what the princess said to her nieces? If there is a taboo, the queen mother, the emperor, and His Royal Highness the crown prince will ask me in the future, can I still hide it? If the queen mother and the emperor tell me not to tell anyone, I should obey the order. But the princess is ...... She didn't have that much to say, did she?"
The princess is serious and hasn't even earned the position of concubine, how can the Qin family also be the queen's mother, can she be at her mercy?
Qin Han said to Yao's family: "Second aunt, it's not that my niece doesn't listen to you, but that there is no reason for this. You know what the royal family's room is. I understand that Mrs. Yao is also the daughter of the Wang family, and I have some scruples in my heart, and I also hope to keep the life of my sisters in peace. But in this world, there are things to do and things not to do. If some people have to go all the way to the dark, for fear that they will not die fast enough, can Mrs. Yao still pay for her own net worth and life in order to save them? She is already a wife of the Yao family, and your real surname is Yao, and you are a wife of the Qin family. Whether it is the emperor or the world, they all understand that the two rooms of the Wang family are not all the way. Why do you have to get involved with those people? Our Qin family is a descendant clan, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still present in everything. Even if the second aunt feels sorry for her mother, she has to think about her children, right?"
Yao's face was red and white: "Three girls, are you ...... What do you know?"
Qin Hanzhen shook his head and said, "I don't know anything, but I can probably guess it, it won't be a good thing." Otherwise, Mrs. Yao and you don't need to tell us again and again not to ask more, and the princess will specially reward us and tell us to shut up. However, as I just said, everyone knows what kind of goods the royal family's room is. His family is bent on making their daughter the future queen and giving birth to a grandson who will inherit the throne, and their eyes are staring at the chair in the Qianqing Palace. Four years ago, they failed and had to return to their hometown. Now they're planning to make a comeback. I don't need to know exactly what they're going to do, I just need to assume that they're not good people and that they're not going to do good. ”
Yao couldn't help but laugh a few times: "You...... This is also too arbitrary. What else can the Wang family do? It's just to send a few children to Beijing to take the exam. ”
Qin Hanzhen's expression was faint: "If you just send your children to Beijing to catch the exam, what are those aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family doing mysteriously meeting in the palace? They are all daughters of the Wang family, so what contradiction can there be? Could it be that the princesses are unwilling to let their mother's children participate in the imperial examination? Or are the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family unwilling to let their mother's brothers take the imperial examination? None of this makes sense! It can be seen that what they are planning is absolutely not a good thing that can see the light of day. ”
Yao was speechless.
After a while, she said, "What can they plan? It's just a pipe dream, and even if it does, it's for someone else." The Wang family used to be whimsical, but it was only through my grandfather's dying plea that they were able to save their lives and return to their hometowns in peace. But they lived happily in their hometown, but where did they put these Wang family daughters in Beijing? At the beginning, it was for the glory and wealth of the Wang family that they married them into a high-ranking family, but now they are in a pitiful situation, but they have no family to rely on, and can only endure the contempt and humiliation of others. They are not willing to suffer for the rest of their lives, and they have to think about their children, so they just want to fight. They didn't dare to have that delusion like that before, but if they could recover a little bit of the Wang family's vitality, their life in Beijing would probably be better. My mother also knew their hardships, and knew that they really couldn't do anything big, so she wanted to turn a blind eye. If they can really do it, it will be their creation. If they fail, it's their fate. ”
Qin Hanzhen asked her, "What are the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family going to do?"
Yao hesitated for a moment: "I don't know what it is." only listened to what the princess said, it seems to be related to the heirs of the East Palace. The princess asked her nieces to stop meddling in royal affairs and live in peace at her husband's house, and the aunts and grandmothers were angry......"
Qin Hanzhen frowned and said, "How can the daughters of the Wang family interfere with the heirs of the East Palace? Can the Wang family still offer their daughters to the palace as concubines? Or do they dedicate themselves to the East Palace? But neither the emperor nor the prince can agree, right?"
Yao shook his head: "It's not for the daughter of the Wang family to marry into the East Palace." As I said, they don't dare to have the delusions of the past. She sighed, "Actually, I don't quite understand what is going on, but I don't want to ask too much." And do not tell anyone to go. What happens to the East Palace in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make a decision. It is about the royal incense, and it is not something that the royal concubine and a few royal daughters can do. Yesterday's events, if the queen mother, emperor and prince in the palace want to ask, you just have to tell the truth. But on weekdays, in front of others, there is no need to mention it. ”
Qin Hanzhen could only give a promise: "I won't tell people everywhere, I will only open my mouth when I need to tell someone." ”
Yao thought that she had agreed to her request, and finally a smile appeared on her face: "Good boy, Uncle Niang knows, you have always been very sensible. In order to show her appreciation for Qin Hanzhen, she also picked out an extra string of Nanhong bracelets and a pair of amber earrings from the pile of things she gave to her daughter, and stuffed them into Qin Hanzhen.
Qin Hanzhen couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he still put the things away.
When she and Qin Jinhua called the girl into the house again, took the things they had shared, and left Shengyiju, Qin Jinhua also discussed with her in a whisper: "I like that pair of amber pendants very much, can you give them back to me?" I will give you that jasper pendant, which happens to match your bracelet." Just now I saw you staring at the jade pendant. Mother is really, but it's just a few pieces of jewelry made inside, and she can't afford to give me all the good ones, and only use some bulky guys to prevaricate you, which is really unfair. ”
Qin Hanzhen smiled: "I have amber earrings myself, and if I want to make jewelry inside, I can get it every year, I don't care if there will be more of this box." Which one the second sister likes, just take it. It's just that the second aunt still hasn't figured it out, and she still has the idea of hiding things from others in her heart. She didn't know, not only should we not hide it, but we should also take the initiative to tell the prince about it. This is not a matter of flesh and blood, our Qin family's position is on the side of the prince. And the reason why the second master Wang was deeply trusted by the emperor until his death was precisely because he was always loyal to the emperor and had no selfish intentions. If this were not the case, he would intercede for the royal family's room, and the emperor would not take it to heart. Mrs. Yao is the only daughter of the second master of the king, and if she wants to continue to be trusted by the emperor like her deceased father, she should not always think about protecting those daughters of the Wang family. ”
She looked at Qin Jinhua: "If those daughters of the Wang family live in peace, the emperor will not embarrass them." It is the husband's family who wants to toss them. They have time and energy, so they might as well find ways to improve their situation in their husband's house. But if they start the idea of the East Palace again, the emperor will not tolerate it, and then there will really be no place to die. If you accuse them earlier, and be punished before they have done anything, you may have suffered less. ”
Qin Jinhua's face turned a little pale: "Then what should ......I do? Will it make the emperor angry? Should I persuade her?" she gritted her teeth, "I'll call my brother to persuade me tomorrow." We must not let the Wang family get tired! As for the prince, I asked my brother to tell the prince what happened yesterday and asked him to beware of the daughter of the Wang family. ”
Qin Hanzhen nodded. Although Qin Jinchun had already reported to the crown princess, it was necessary for Qin Jian to make a gesture as well. The Wang family is not easy to deal with, and it will not be a bad thing to be on guard with a few more people.
However, what exactly do the aunts and grandmothers of the Wang family plan to do to the heirs of the East Palace?
