18.018, backward chase strategy
Qiwen changed the topic knowingly: "Why did Mama come to Shangyi Bureau, this Qing Ku Yamen on an errand?" Wouldn't it be better to stay and serve by the nobles? β
Mama Li took the initiative to resign a few years ago on the grounds of physical discomfort and was transferred to the Shangyi Bureau from Empress Taishang. Being a female official here is also a beauty, but the benefits are naturally far from being comparable to the palace people around the queen.
Mama Li squinted her eyes contemptuously: "Can you eat and dress well and die in peace?" At that time, a sister just broke a hosta by mistake, and was punished to kneel in the rain for two hours. β
Seeing that Qiwen was a little hurtful, she eased her expression a little and leisurely packed up her handkerchief, "Your eyelids can't be so shallow, just staring at the glamour on the surface, and in the end you will only pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons." This is the harem, and the watermelon may be fate. β
Qiwen obediently expressed her teachability. Alas, if it weren't for the sake of keeping this big watermelon, she wouldn't want to enter the palace.
Mama Li looked at her with her eyes. This girl was born more than the masters, and she entered the palace so unclear, she also had doubts in her heart, there are people in the harem who climb high branches with various calculations, who knows what kind of person she is?
"Speaking of which, this harem is no better than other places, not only our palace people, even if it is the master, there must not be a mistake. In February of this year, He Cairen went to show favor to the Holy God in the name of caring for the Holy Bow, but he somehow angered the Holy God and was given death. Mama Li folded the handkerchief in her hand and pretended to be careless.
Qiwen was shocked, it turned out that one of the few five imperial concubines had already died, and she was still given death because she was currying favor with the emperor. The concubine couldn't bear the loneliness and went to curry favor and seduce the emperor, this is nothing new, how could it end up with such a tragic result?
Thinking back to the emperor he saw that day, although he had the ruthlessness of killing thieves with his own hands, he was more like a calm and rational person. At that time, he only had a small 2 favorites towards her, far from being a good impression and love, he could treat her as equals and let her choose her own way out, such a person, not to mention that it was inappropriate for the concubine to show favor, that is, He Cairen directly collided with him rudely, and Qiwen didn't think he would be ruthless.
With only a slight flash of thought, Qiwen decided that there must be something else hidden in this matter, and it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
In addition, a little talented person is still pressing the queen and Concubine Ning, and he runs directly to seduce the emperor, isn't he looking for death? This is also very strange.
She asked, "Dare to ask Mama, do you know who He Cai was close to in the past?" β
"He Cairen and the other two servants both live in Yonghe Palace, and they have always been in and out of pairs with Concubine Ning."
Qiwen nodded, that's right. An emperor who is not close to women is like a perfect cake that no one has touched, and whoever climbs up and eats the first bite will surely be blessed. But seeing that she was not smiling today, Concubine Ning, as the first person below the queen, wanted to taste this mouthful, but she didn't dare, so she encouraged a small talented person around her to test the water. As a result, the little talent was drowned, and the rest of the people changed their strategies and did not dare to act rashly.
It's just that why the emperor did such a ruthless move, it is impossible to deduce, anyway, she will never believe that it is as simple as the woman patting the horse and slapping the horse's hooves.
Smart people don't need to speak thoroughly, Mama Li saw that her frightened look was fleeting, and asked this sentence again, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked: This girl actually thought of Concubine Ning's trick in a flash, and her mind is dexterous, not to be underestimated, it seems that she still wants to mention her, but it is too much.
Qiwen squatted on the side of the steps, quietly sorting out the information she had heard in her mind. The emperor has lacked care since he was a child, introverted, sensitive, passive, and perhaps a little inferior and autistic, such a person is difficult to approach, and it is even more difficult to lead him to take the initiative to pay. If you want him to give affection, I am afraid that you must first let him get affection, in other words, if you want him to love, you must first make him feel loved.
In other words, it is necessary to chase backwards.
Qiwen smiled bitterly in her heart, she had no objection to chasing a man who already had a good impression, but now it was different. In modern times, women chasing men have shown traces, which can be regarded as bold and frank, here, that is cheap, shameless, and crawling in bed...... If you don't get it right, even the man who is being chased will look down on you. It's hard to grasp.
In addition, the palace rules are strict, whether it is a subordinate or a master, they cannot mess around in the palace for no reason, especially the palace maids are very strict. Even people separated by a wall may not see each other for months. With her identity, how easy is it to meet the emperor?
Three words: The eldest princess, a qiΔ still depends on how the eldest princess arranges it first.
When eating with Mama Li, Qiwen diligently prepared the dishes and asked tentatively: "Sun Shangyi said yesterday that according to my current condition, I can already send it out to serve the master directly, I don't know what Mama thinks?" Seeing that the eldest princess's wedding is imminent, I am afraid that I will be delayed for too much time and will not be able to catch up. β
"What's the hurry? The eldest princess really likes you, and when she gets married, she will also send you to the Ten Princes' Mansion. Mama Li smiled, "But if you want to say that you are like this, you can indeed send it out." You have learned this palace etiquette well, you just need to memorize the palace rules, be cautious in the future, and don't go on business trips. β
Qiwen got up and bowed to her deeply: "Remember Mama's teachings." β
Mama Li helped her up with her own hands, her smile faded, and she said solemnly: "If you can marry with the princess, it is the best, staying in the harem is a place of right and wrong, and it will be dangerous after all." β
Qiwen nodded silently, this is not something she can decide.
When she returned to her lodgings, she lit a candle, took out a sewing kit from under the corner of the bed, took a thick needle, and drew a horizontal line on the wooden window beside it. The wood is slightly cracked, and the word "zheng" is inconspicuously engraved on it.
Qiwen looked up at the dark sky outside the window, she came to this harem, and it had been a full eighteen days.
System: Ding! Players who successfully complete the training task of entering the palace will be rewarded with 10 points, and players are asked to choose how to distribute them in terms of physical fitness, intelligence, and charisma.
Qiwen took the small round mirror and looked at the face inside, the beauty under the candlelight was even more charming, but if she wanted to attract that person's attention, no matter how beautiful it was, it was not too much. Why don't you try all the charms?
β¦β¦
The princesses of this dynasty generally lived in the princess house in the north of the harem from the age of two until they got married, but the eldest princess Bai Zhuojin was brought out as early as ten years old and had her own separate palace to live in.
Yuhuazhai in the north of Ciqing Palace is the residence of the eldest princess, and now that the princess's wedding is approaching, the people are busy packing up the princess's belongings, assigning which ones to take away and which ones to stay. The eldest princess's own interest is getting lower and lower day by day.
Also out of restrictions on foreign relatives, the ancestral system stipulates that horses cannot be more than four official ranks. Therefore, there are only two sources of horses, one is the hereditary son of the lord, most of whom do not care so much about the official position, and the other is selected from the innocent small family like the draft girl. The selected ones considered themselves unlucky and gave up their careers.
This is how the eldest princess's colt was chosen.
The princess's marriage is not a fairy tale of heroes and beauties, and then the concubine will be taken to live in the concubine's mansion, and the princess will move to the ten kings' mansion to live, and you can live in one place for up to half a month every month. After getting married, the princess is mostly alone in the boudoir, neither her husband nor her parents, and her life is much more lonely than before marriage.
Because the Emperor Taishang was seriously ill last year, the Empress Taishang was worried that the marriage of the eldest princess would be delayed due to filial piety, and the selection of horses was carried out in a hurry than in previous years. Although both the royal couple told her that she was of good character, the eldest princess judged this to be a comfort from her parents and did not believe it.
The closer she got to the wedding, the more panicked she felt that the crooked melon and cracked dates that the horse she had never met might be.
Therefore, the eldest princess Yan zhΓ²ng was depressed before marriage, and at this time, she was holding the lamp and candle, crooked on the beauty couch, pinching the newly found drama, and she couldn't read a word.
There was a female history under the corridor who came to Aunt Yue to pass the word, Aunt Yue nodded after hearing this, opened the bamboo curtain and entered the door, retreated the little palace maid waiting in the bright room, came to the beauty couch and said: "Shangyi Bureau sent a message to say that the cousin of the slave maid has been trained and can be sent over on an errand." β
"What cousin?" After the eldest princess asked, she remembered that it was Qiwen, and her eyes lit up, "So fast?" I'm still worried that she won't be able to come out before my wedding, and she's really a smart person. β
The sleepiness was swept away, and the eldest princess turned over and got up, wearing only a moon-white middle single, pacing back and forth in the house: "How should I place her?" β
She was full of confidence and wanted to match for her second brother, but because it was already an exception to bring Qiwen into the palace, if she was asked to skip the training and enter the deep palace directly, I was afraid that it would cause the Empress Taishang to be suspicious, and things would be difficult to do, so she could only let Qiwen in the Shangyi Bureau. These days, thinking that I couldn't wait for Qiwen to come out before I got married, I was a little cold-hearted, and I didn't think carefully about how to start this match.
Aunt Yue almost had nothing to say to her, knowing her strange plan to find a confidante for her second brother, so she smiled and said: "Time is running out, and this kind of thing is in a hurry, I advise you not to hope too high." β
The eldest princess frowned dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I can't do it?" β
"Everyone has their own fate and creation," Aunt Yue attached herself to her and straightened the wrinkled hem of her clothes, "You can leave her a chance before leaving the pavilion and place her in a place where she can see today, it is enough." The time is tight, if you accidentally take the old path of that talented person, it will hurt the girl. β
"How could that be?" The eldest princess thought of the talented person who gave death, and her heart was also a little weak, she grabbed Aunt Yue's sleeve and asked, "Shuhui, you also witnessed the situation that day, don't you think that the second brother is attracted to her?" β
Aunt Yue is much more mature than her, and said with a wry smile: "With all due respect, according to the slave maid, I am afraid that the girl is more chivalrous and rescues today, and it is difficult to say whether there is a personal relationship between men and women." If there is, I don't need you to match. β
The eldest princess was silent for a while, and the love at first sight in the drama was on the cold-faced second brother, and she didn't think it was easy to imagine. It can be seen that he doesn't hate that girl, and the key is that the girl met two brothers at the same time, but she was not hooked by the third brother, which is the most rare, and she is willing to repay her kindness at the expense of condescending to enter the palace as a maid, it is really good to do everything, it is perfect to be the confidant of the second brother. How can this opportunity be missed?
The lights of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Painted Glass Palace hanging down from the caisson were gorgeous, and the eldest princess stared at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Then try it first, let them meet, and take the opportunity to see what the second brother means." β
Aunt Yue asked, "Does the princess want to arrange an opportunity for her to make a meritorious service?" β
The eldest princess blinked and thought about it: "It's better to make a mistake than to make a meritorious service, who doesn't like the joke of a hero saving beauty?" You send someone out tomorrow, so it's arranged......"
When she said it like this, Aunt Yue listened to it secretly, the eldest princess is a child, and the ideas she came up with are so naΓ―ve, how can she bluff to go up today? I hope that the girl will not be accidentally harmed by her.
However, after all, it's none of my business, and it's not my true cousin, and I can't persuade her to say anything to sweep the eldest princess's interest.
"The slave will arrange it." Aunt Yue responded.
