Qiansheng fell asleep, but Xiaoxia kept thinking about how to find out which lady was Cui Zhouping's person and which one was Master Qian's person.

No matter who it is, the question in front of all the ladies is how to get the favor of Emperor Qiansheng and become the empress in the future.

If you want to become a queen, it is not enough to have a family background, you must also have both ability and political integrity, and more importantly, you must have children, preferably a son.

You must know that the first emperor suffered because he only had one son, so if he wanted to become the queen, he had to fight for his stomach first.

The six ladies also have a small abacus in their hearts, Zhen Zhen knows that her beauty is unique among all the ladies; Luo Ling is still a little girl, and innocence is her advantage; Qi Man's family is illustrious, her father is a servant, and he is in charge of chariots and horses in the capital, which is equivalent to the later second-rank official; Qian Lan's father and Qi Man's father are classmates, and they are currently in charge of a large county, and they are a big local official; Jing Shu and Gong Xue are from small families, and the conditions in Jing Shu's family are the worst in comparison.

Qiansheng had already made up his mind in his heart to have a bowl of water, and the six ladies were called in turns, no one was more than the other, and no one was less than the other.

But there is one thing, every night before going to bed, he goes to Xiaoxia's room to discuss things with her.

Maybe it's a habit of so many years, although Xiaoxia is no longer in the court and no longer a prince, but Qiansheng still likes to discuss court politics with her, and trusts Xiaoxia more than before.

Qi Man was very dissatisfied with Qiansheng running to Xiaoxia every night, she didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor, but she could be dissatisfied with Xiaoxia.

"Everyone is a lady, so I don't see how good the brocade is. A can also attract the emperor to run to her every day, I don't know how much ecstasy soup has been poured into the emperor!"

Qianlan said: "Sister, don't say it, don't be afraid of others listening to these words in broad daylight!"

"What's wrong with that? I'm afraid she won't hear it!"

Qianlan knew that people like Qiman were easy to disobey persuasion, so she had to deliberately divert the topic.

"Sister, my father has brought some tea from home, I asked someone to cook it and we can eat tea, okay?"

People like Qi Man listened to the wind and rain, and they were still complaining just now, but when they heard that there was good tea, they immediately became interested, and threw all the negative emotions just now out of the clouds.

Jingshu is now worried about how she will survive in the palace, although she can get silver every month, but if she wants to mix well in the palace, she can't be too poor.

Now I haven't gone to the palace to buy clothes, and the clothes I brought are autumn and winter clothes, and now that spring is coming, these clothes can't be worn. The little silver every month is not enough to buy clothes, she has pawned everything she can pawn, at this time she opened the makeup box, looking at the empty box is worried!

It is said that after entering the palace, Jingshu will not fall to such a point, but people like to worship high and low. If Jingshu was born in a big family like Qi Man, then she could go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask the ministers for a shortage of silver taels for a while, and no matter how bad it was, she didn't need to pawn jewelry.

However, every time she sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ministers refused to pay the monthly salary in advance, citing a shortage of cash.

In the end, Cuiyu went to the Internal Affairs Mansion again, and came back directly with a black face, because the ministers of the Internal Affairs Office said to her: "This aunt, I said that you should not come again, there will be everything that should be there, this unruly thing is not something that our Internal Affairs Office will not dare to do, you don't have to be difficult for us subordinates!"

So Jingshu had no choice but to pawn jewelry, and now that the jewelry is gone, she still has some thick clothes to use.

So she opened the closet and took out a cotton robe.

This is a good cotton robe, it looks eighty percent new, Jing Shu keeps touching this cotton robe with her hand, this is the only piece of clothing she can take in winter.

But what can I do? Winter has passed, and my clothes in the spring are still some half-new and not old styles, if I wear them, I am afraid that the eldest lady of Qiman will laugh at herself again.

"Jade!" she shouted.

Jade walked in from outside, her hands covered with black charcoal, "What do you have to say, Madame?"

"Take this robe of mine and use it as one!"

Cuiyu's two eyes looked at this robe brightly, obviously a little unworthy of Jingshu's current down-and-out status.

The gold-embroidered robe looked new and seemed to be in good condition.

Jade looked at her hands and immediately ran out to wash her hands before returning to her room.

"Madam, this robe is very good, do you really want to take it?"

"Well, don't you eat a nice robe, right?"

Jingshu said this with her back to Cuiyu, she didn't want Cuiyu to see the expression on her face, this is her mother's robe, it is considered a dowry for the dowry back then, even if it is her own mother, she is reluctant to take it out and wear it, the robe filled with good cotton wool weighs a few pounds, and it is windy and warm when worn on the body.

"Hey, okay!" Jade walked over and picked up the robe, then glanced at Jingshu's wardrobe, which had nothing of value other than this cotton robe.

She didn't want to see her master's dejected eyes, so she grabbed something and ran away quickly.

Jingshu sat down on the table and sighed heavily, after being this thing, she really has nothing to do. I really don't know what to do in the next few days, let's take one step at a time!

When Cuiyu left Shuxiu Palace, she met Cuihu, and when Cuihu saw that she was holding a burden in her hand, she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you going?

Jade shook her head, and she looked around to see that there was no one, and then she moved.

She waved her hand to signal Cuihu to get closer to her, lowered her head and lowered her voice and said, "I'll help our wife send something out of the palace." ”

"What can your wife send out of the palace? Before the moon silver comes down, your wife will have money?"

Cuiyu tapped Cuihu with her hand: "You don't have a brain, where will our wife have any money?"

Cuihu frowned and thought for a moment, "Could it be that you're holding something in your hand—"

Jade interrupted her: "What else can I have, the master asked me to exchange it for some money and come back." ”

"Oh, that's it, you're tired. ”

"Who made my life bad, such a master, in the final analysis, you Cuihu is powerful! Your master is a powerful person, how can you not go to such a field!"

"Alas, don't envy me. No matter what she says, she can be regarded as a bully, to be honest, I really don't know if I will be implicated if I follow her!"

"Are you crazy, talking about this behind your back, I won't tell you, I'm leaving!"
