Chapter 69: Selection
When she returned to the room, Chen Niuniu said happily: "Fortunately, we didn't give gifts, otherwise I wouldn't know how to worry now." Sure enough, in the palace, you have to be honest and responsible to be liked by the master, and we don't want to engage in any crooked ways in the future, we are really disgusted by the superiors, and the lives of palace maids like us are not valuable. I heard Yang Su say that there are countless palace maids who die in the palace every year, some of them are killed, some are beaten to death by the master, we didn't know that the palace was so dangerous before entering the palace, and now we are here, we can only be smart, so as not to fall on ourselves such a disaster. ”
"In the palace, remember to watch less, talk less, and listen less, otherwise you are likely to be involved in some conspiracy." Chen Yu looked around, there was no one else, and then he lowered his voice and said: "Now the palace is in the quiet under the storm, the highest position of the Jia Guifei, as well as the concubine Hui, Concubine De, who is favored by the emperor, and some concubines, these women have the ambition to win the middle palace, of course, in fact, all the emperor's women may have such ambitions, but those low-ranking women have no possibility at all, even if the emperor agrees, the queen mother, and the ministers will not agree." Now that the back position is empty, there will be no less fighting in the palace, we have to be careful. ”
"In this way, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to be assigned to a mother?" Chen Erniu said.
"As long as we keep our duty, work hard, don't go to the master's side, and don't help the master harm others, then our safety can still be guaranteed. It's just that it depends on the temper of the master we are assigned, if the temper is not good, it is best to hide, I heard that Concubine Jia's temper is not good, she is always angry, and sometimes she is angry with the palace maid, it is best not to be assigned to the Yilan Palace. Chen Yu said.
"So, as long as the queen is decided, we will be relaxed?" Chen Niuniu asked.
"It's not just about the back position. Today's seat is not full, so the lady below will probably try her best to climb up, and the palace is not as beautiful as you think. There's a lot of intrigue and intrigue in it, so you have to be very careful. Of course, we sisters also have to support each other, live peacefully in this palace, and leave the palace together in the future. Chen Yu continued.
"I was so looking forward to coming before I entered the palace. Now that I really came in, I knew that the palace was not so good, I knew it earlier, it was better to be in Chenjia Village, although life is dull, but there will never be any big danger, and the family is getting better day by day, maybe there will be a rich dowry when you get married, now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have participated in the selection in the first place. Chen Niuniu said.
In fact, Chen Yu didn't expect Chen Niuniu to participate in the selection. After all, Chen Niuniu is not yet old, she is only nine years old, but since she is here, Chen Yu can only persuade the other party to stay in the palace in peace.
"Okay, it's all here, don't complain, think about how to save yourself in the palace is true, we are just palace maids, in the eyes of those masters, it is nothing at all. Life and death are all arbitrary, in fact, not to mention palace maids, but some masters. If there is no emperor's favor and no background, I am afraid that life will not be satisfactory. Chen Yu said.
Chen Yu's words today touched the rest of the girls a lot, although they already knew that although the palace was rich and prosperous, it was also a place with strict rules. But I didn't think that there was such a thing here, but what if I knew, it wasn't just as Chen Yu said, I could only live well.
It's only been a few months now, and several girls miss the Chenjia Village, which is a little poor but peaceful, and only there are families waiting for them to go back.
The next day, the people who came to choose the palace maid came, because Concubine Jia was the most deterrent person in the palace except for the Queen Mother, everyone knew that with the support of the Queen Mother, Concubine Jia was very likely to win the middle palace, so the minions at the bottom were naturally very stammered, and the selection of palace maids was naturally the first choice of Concubine Jia.
Hearing the news at first glance, several girls of the Chen family were a little anxious, and they had heard Chen Yu say before that Concubine Jia was not a good place to go, so several people were thinking about how not to be selected, but Chen Yu immediately comforted: "You don't have to worry, there are so many people, and the other party will choose a few people, and it is unlikely that they will be selected by us." ”
There is another sentence that Chen Yu did not say, that is, a character like Jia Guifei must be the object of attention, the master of the person who came to teach them before did not know who it was, but he would definitely not let go of spying on Jia Guifei, so Chen Yu speculated that unless that master is Jia Guifei herself, but this is also unlikely, after all, Jia Guifei does not have such ability, and people with such ability, except for a high-ranking emperor, are only in Concubine Hui's family, or the queen mother.
Don't look at Concubine Jia Guifei as powerful in the palace, in fact, she relies on the Queen Mother, without the Queen Mother, she is nothing. And Concubine Jia Guifei is domineering, relying on the Queen Mother to bully other concubines, if the Queen Mother is gone one day, maybe the emperor doesn't need to do it at all, and the other bullied concubines in the harem can tear her up.
A few people didn't have to dress up, and even stood in the crowd, so they were not inconspicuous at all, and the other palace maids were eager to stand at the front and show their best side, so Chen Yu was deliberately low-key, and was naturally ignored by the people who came to choose the palace maids.
The aunt in charge said to the people in front of her with a flattering face: "Mama Qin, Miss Chunlan, these are the best rules among our batch of trained palace maids, and there are still a lot of skills here, I don't know how to choose the two?" ”
Mama Qin is the nurse of Concubine Jia, and she is naturally the most relied on in Yilan Palace, and Chunlan is Concubine Jia's dowry girl, so she is naturally trusted.
And what to do, it is impossible for Concubine Jia to do it herself, and she does not have to rely on these minions under her hands, so for the selection of palace maids in her palace, Concubine Jia Guifei sent the two people she trusted the most. Today's palace maids are sent in from all over the country, and it must not be easy for other people in the palace to install nails, and if they are distributed, it will be different, but fortunately, Concubine Jia is in a high position, and no one points out the mistake in her own selection.
