When Wan'er opened her eyes, it was exactly two moments. Yesterday, Empress Wu gave her a day off before going to bed, so she didn't have to rush to serve in front of the palace early today, but Wan'er woke up earlier than usual.

In the past, everyone said that the people below were miserable, and everyone tried their best to climb up, Wan'er was young at the time, and when she listened to it outside, she also asked A-Niang these words, but in exchange for it, it was often just a sigh or a wry smile.

"As long as people are safe, no matter what, it is all good. ”

This is what A-Niang often says.

Wan'er didn't understand it at that time, but in the past three or four years of serving the martial arts, she gradually learned the cold of the heights, and she understood A-Niang's fear and envy. At that time, my grandfather was so prominent, the young prime minister, the four-grade squire, the edict of the sole hand, and the god of the wind spit out, just because of a quarrel between the husband and wife of a pilgrim, not only died and the family was destroyed, but also carried the charge of rebellion, the tomb did not stand, and the incense was not continued.

If Wan'er hadn't known the difficulty of being a concubine, she wouldn't have such a deep emotion about the fate of her grandfather and father, but she not only knew the difficulty of being a concubine, but now she gradually realized the beauty of Ronghua and power, and her feelings about the original reversal case became more and more complicated.

The new emperor has been in office for nearly half a year, and the power of the queen mother has become heavier, in order to divide the power of the prime minister, in addition to appointing Zhuwu and promoting the Hanmen, she also intentionally or unintentionally led many court affairs to the inner court, so that Gao Yanfu, A Qing, He Lou and Wan'er have passed over.

Wan'er took advantage of the light of the literary style, quite a few edicts, Deyin decrees, and often participated, if you only talk about the number of edicts, no matter how severe, I am afraid that one or two bachelors of the North Gate may not be able to match her. In the past, there were only a few Shang Gong and Inner Chamberlain chiefs in the eyes of the prime ministers, but now they gradually put Wan'er in their eyes. Depending on which prime minister, when he saw Wan'er, he had to politely call a "talented person", and there was never a break in the New Year's holidays and famous gifts.

Wan'er has been an official palace maid since she can remember, although she has her uncle to take care of her, but she also bows her head everywhere and is careful in everything, the first two years of being selected by the side of the martial queen, the foundation is not deep, until these two years, she gradually experienced the taste of being valued - the best thing is that this value not only comes from the vulgar eunuch slaves and maids in the palace, but also from the princes of the outer court.

Those matters that were discussed and unresolved by the ministers who were from the same high family as her grandfather and father, who were from the same high families, were also discussed by the Empress Wu with her little talent. Although it was just a joke and funny inquiry, Wan'er didn't dare to participate in the discussion, at most, she speculated on the heart of the martial queen, and secretly mentioned a sentence or two, but this feeling of ruling and persuading still made Wan'er yearn for it.

If she continues like this, when she is forty years old, will she be able to be like her grandfather, holding the edict alone and ruling the world? She has heard more than once that people have heard the anecdote of her grandfather chanting poetry on the bank of the royal river and walking in the wind and the moon, if she can follow her grandfather, will she also be able to leave some anecdotes that will be praised by the world?

Wan'er knew that the court was a muddy puddle. also knows that a maid like her who has no official palace can be a slaughterer for an official, a general, and a general, and she can't continue to set up a door and support the family business, so she really shouldn't have such a delusion. But when people are close to the temple and taste the sweetness here, it is difficult to get out. Otherwise, how many ministers in the DPRK and China have been ruined due to dumping, and their fortunes are not guaranteed, why do those ministers still sharpen their heads and drill up?

Wan'er sighed, lay on her side, and looked lazily ahead.

Before dawn, the inside and outside of the house were all drowsy, only the outhouse was lit in the corner, and the faint light came from outside the tent, occasionally accompanied by the suppressed sneezing of the little palace people.

Wan'er knew what was going on. There is a fixed number of charcoal fires in the palace, such as her five-quality talent, the good charcoal will only be able to heat the inner house, and the outside will be used, not only the slightly inferior charcoal, there is always a little green smoke when lit, and the number is not as good as the amount she uses here. She was so warm here that she only had to cover a brocade quilt, but the people in the small palace on duty outside could only stick to the charcoal basin to keep warm—but that's it, it's much better than those who are freezing outside the door. In the past, when she didn't enter the Zichen Palace, she used black charcoal that could choke people into tears.

Every year, there are always a few people in the palace who fall asleep at night because of such charcoal, and they never wake up again. However, the way to deal with it was not to send better charcoal, but to burn only one pot of charcoal at night in a room.

Wan'er still remembers those cold nights when she snuggled up to her mother, no matter how she dried it during the day, the quilt was still as cold and hard as iron, and when she couldn't stand the cold, only a few people in a room could gather together, huddled around the charcoal basin and stretched out their hands to keep warm - at that time, their sneezes were much louder than the two small palace people outside.

Wan'er tugged at the corners of her mouth, got up in her clothes, and when she was at the door, she saw that the two people outside stood up and saluted obediently: "Talented." ”

Wan'er nodded and said, "I want to read a book, just light the lamp." ”

The eyes of the two small palace people were bright, one immediately went to look for charcoal, moved to the outside case, and the other went out to call people in, and some people came to serve Wan'er one after another to dress and wash, and some people lit the big candle, warmed the seats, spread out the paper and pen, and lit the incense burner - since the martial arts ordered Wan'er to do those things, Wan'er really has the appearance of a five-quality talent: in the imperial city, you can take the public opinion according to the product, go out and take the chariot according to the product, and there are decent places to live in the main palace and the palace. Instead of a small room, the number of people serving has also increased according to the example of talented people, and even the Zheng family has added two serving small palace people.

Sometimes Wan'er will have the illusion that she is really a harem concubine, but it is not the Li family who accepts her, but the Wu family's queen mother. Even the way she gets along with the Empress Wu is becoming more and more like the Son of Heaven and the concubine - serving and dressing during the day, taking care of daily life, and relieving fatigue and boredom at night, and serving the bed.

It's a pity that Empress Wu is a woman after all, taking into account the matter of things, so for the time being, Wan'er is the thing of this fake phoenix, and when she has a solid foundation, I am afraid that there will be one or two men who will do the real thing to relieve boredom for Wan'er.

Wan'er remembered what Princess Qianjin said to Empress Wu yesterday, lowered her eyes, and there was a faint displeasure in her heart.

This princess used to be very close to Empress Wu, and now that Empress Wu has become Empress Dowager Wu, she is even more diligent. The eldest princess of a country, in terms of seniority or the aunt of the martial queen, is willing to bow down in front of the martial queen to be small, the first emperor has been in the body for less than a year, so she recommended a man to the martial queen, and even "the material is majestic, extraordinary instrument" can be said, where do you want to put the first emperor?

The most odious thing is that the person she recommended was actually a scoundrel who sold medicine.

As soon as Wan'er remembered the look of the princess when she spoke, she naturally frowned, and just took a piece of fragrant cake in her mouth, she had chewed it for some time, and should have spit it in the basin, but at the moment she forgot about it, and swallowed the fragrant cake in one bite.

Wan'er frowned even more, and walked to the desk and sat down, where a soup cake was already on the table. The dining room is the most human, the preferences in the palace are clear, know that Wan'er is resting today, not taboo fishy, the soup cake is made of mutton, the meat has been stewed to a rotten bowl, which is sprinkled with pepper and green onions, with a finger-wide shredded cake, mashed with orange and garlic in a small plate, and added ginger shreds, a set of hot and steaming, the aroma is fluttering, and it is mouthwatering.

Wan'er only used a few sips, then stopped, hesitated for four more times, and then ordered the palace people: "Go and see if the Queen Mother is up?" Can you call me?" 166 Reading Network
