Chapter 14: The Harem
When Mama Zhao heard this, she didn't dare to say anything more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She bowed her head and bowed before exiting the inner sanctum with a panicked expression.
"Mama, what's wrong with you?" Xuemei, the palace maid who stayed on duty outside, saw that Mama Zhao, who had withdrawn, had a pale face, and couldn't help but step forward and asked with concern.
Xuemei's sudden voice obviously frightened Mama Zhao, who had just been overly frightened and had not come back to her senses until this time.
Mama Zhao, who was frightened and raised her head suddenly, saw Xuemei's concern, so she moved the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly.
"It's Xuemei. Mama Zhao shook her head calmly, "I'm fine, it's just that my chest suddenly feels a little uncomfortable." You know, this person, once he gets older, the more problems he has. ”
Is that so? Xuemei was suspicious in her heart, but her face became more and more concerned. "Mama, let the little girls help you go back and rest for half a day. Niangniang, I'm watching here, you can rest assured. ”
Mama Zhao shook her head when she heard this. "It's okay, it's old. I'll just rest here. You go down and get busy first. ”
When Xuemei heard this, her heart moved, but her face was quietly blessed with a salute, and she retreated as she said.
In her opinion, the panic and paleness on this old man's face may have made the mother angry. That's fine, as long as this old guy falls out of favor, as a palace maid, he will have a day to be on top.
Xuemei, who had left the main hall, stood under the cloister, and couldn't help but turn around and smile inexplicably at the outside.
Mama Zhao, let's see how hard you can be when you can still die when you are old! One day, the position closest to the concubine must belong to me Xuemei.
And as long as you become Niangniang's confidant, then you will naturally have the opportunity to become Your Majesty's confidant!
Thinking of the scene when His Majesty pulled up her wrist when she was taking a nap that day, Xuemei involuntarily lowered her head to hide the blush on her face.
In the room, after seeing Xuemei leave for a while, Mama Zhao patted her chest with a frightened face, picked up the tea cup on the side, and poured a sip of hot tea, which stabilized her mind.
Fortunately, he should have become faster at random, and he didn't let Xuemei's girl see the slightest clue. Otherwise, once everyone knows that Niangniang has reprimanded herself, then in this harem, what face will she have to deter the palace people!
It's just that until this time, Mama Zhao still couldn't figure out why the noble concubine would agree to Wan Ge Lao's request.
After all, although this Wan Ge Lao is also surnamed Wan, he actually has no blood relationship with Niangniang.
Could it be that after Wan Ning'er is favored, Wan Ge Lao will abandon Guan Ju Palace and support his niece?
Thinking of this, Mama Zhao, who had already drunk several sips of tea, couldn't help but turn her head to look at the inner room again.
What is this concubine Niangniang thinking in her heart?
…………………………………………………………………………..
What did Concubine Wan think in her heart, of course she wouldn't tell a slave.
At this time, Wan Guifei, who was sitting alone in the dormitory, couldn't help but chuckle when she looked at the pair of bright red red bracelets on her wrists.
The red beauties complement each other. This is still a congratulatory gift from Wan'an's old thing ten years ago when he was first promoted to the imperial concubine.
At that time, although he was favored by His Majesty, his foundation was still not stable in the end in the previous dynasty, and Wan'an, the old fox, did not have a trace of talent, but he wanted to be in power in the court.
At that time, Wan Guifei needed the support of the ministers of the previous dynasty, and Wan An and the others needed someone to blow the wind in His Majesty's ears. So, the two sides who hit it off were linked together by the same surname.
Thinking of the situation at that time, Concubine Wan couldn't help but sigh.
This front and harem, to put it bluntly, no matter when, they are always tied together.
Otherwise, in this draft, how could Wan An's old fox carefully arrange two show girls to enter the palace?
You must know that according to the practice of this dynasty, every time the palace is drafted, only women of the right age can be selected from among the commoners to enter the palace, and those women from the families of high-ranking officials cannot be selected because Emperor Taizu left an iron law for interfering in politics in order to prevent foreign relatives from becoming powerful.
And Wan An, who is the first assistant this time, arranged for his niece to enter the palace. Come to think of it, that old guy also worked hard to make his niece successfully become this show girl.
What are you talking about a distant niece? Who are you fooling! There are no fools in this palace!
Thinking of this, Concubine Wan couldn't help but sneer.
Of course, she knew what Mama Zhao was worried about, it was nothing more than that Wan Ning'er had the support of her mother's family, and once she met the favor of the Holy Grace, she would snatch her position.
But what Mama Zhao didn't know was that in the imperial garden today, the show girl ----Liu Ruyan, who was ordered to be disposed of by the Empress Dowager Zhou because her coat fell off, was also the person who was arranged to enter the palace by this draft.
If it weren't for that, how could he dare to boldly hand over this matter to a show girl he didn't know?
It is really because of this that Wan'an's old fox can have the confidence to pass the word into the palace and let himself arrange for his niece Wan Ning'er to be selected.
She knew that because of the failure to frame the prince in the imperial garden today, Wan An, who had already become the first assistant, thought that she had taken her handle, so she made this request in a tough tone.
She also knew that the reason why the other party wanted to send her niece into the palace for the draft was because she was afraid that she would fall out of favor in old age, which would affect their careers, so she would keep a back hand and choose a young and beautiful woman to enter the palace.
She knew everything, but she still agreed to Wan An's request. It's because they don't know the real love between her and the emperor.
The relationship between her and Her Majesty as husband and wife has long passed the test of life and death, and how can one or two young and beautiful show girls snatch it away!
Otherwise, for so many years, there has been no shortage of beauties in the harem, why does Your Majesty still favor him?
Speaking of which, if you want to talk about beauty alone, who can compare to the virtuous concubine Bai Shi back then?
But now, the first beauty in the world back then, the crown prince Liangdi ---- Bai, who was given to His Majesty by Emperor Yingzong, was not just obediently staying in Zhongcui Palace, and he didn't even dare to take a step out of the gate!
Wan'an, Wan'an, you actually want to make a beauty trick on Your Majesty, but you really miscalculated!
Thinking of this, Wan Guifei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, turned her wrist, pinched out an orchid finger, lowered her head and sneered.
It seems that Wan'an's son has forgotten how they are in power!
If it weren't for the pillow wind blowing in front of His Majesty, with a few people in Wan'an, he would have been able to become the cabinet elder? What a joke!
If you don't have your own help, the previous few papier-mâché cabinet clay sculptures, I'm afraid I don't know where to sit on the cold bench at this time?
At this time, do you want to leave yourself behind and find another backer?
However, since you have sent people to the palace, then the palace will be fine.
As for whether the time comes, whether the wife will be compensated and the soldiers will be broken, it is none of the matter of the palace.
Wan Guifei leaned on the chaise longue and couldn't help but smile.
In this draft, I was originally trying to choose a few obedient women, so that I could give birth to more children for Your Majesty.
As for the candidate for the birth of an heir, whether it is Wan Ning'er, Liu Ruyan, or other women, in her opinion, there is no difference at all.
At that time, as soon as the prince is born, he will naturally be able to go to his mother and keep his son.
Come to think of it, with the respect of her Wan Zhen'er imperial concubine, there is naturally no problem in raising a prince without a mother.
Moreover, after his second pregnancy and miscarriage, His Majesty also said that if he has a prince in the future, he will definitely raise a son under his knees.
Thinking of the child who died before she was born, Concubine Wan couldn't help but close her eyes with a sad face.
Back then, if it weren't for the fact that Ji's slut seduced His Majesty, how could he have been angry and angry? So much so that later, he didn't even keep the child!
Emperor, if you watch from the sky, the mother will definitely avenge you.
