Chapter Seventy-Five: Calm
Zheng Cairen is not high because his status is not high, so he is very careful, and there are many rules in the palace, one of them, Zheng Cairen's palace maid is not allowed to meet his former friends and sisters or something, one is worried about the betrayal of the palace maid in his palace, and passing the news to others, but also to prevent the people of other palaces from framing and affecting Zheng Cairen himself.
Of course, all the masters in the palace basically asked for this, after all, in this deceitful palace, if you are not careful, you can only turn into a pile of dry bones. How many pairs of eyes are staring at other people in the palace, and they will naturally eradicate their opponents one by one when they have the opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu has been staying here for half a month with Zheng Cairen, and in this half a month, Chen Yu has honestly stayed here to plant flowers and plants, and has not gone to other places, of course, his mental power has not relaxed his attention to a few sisters, after all, in this palace, as the lowest palace maid, a little carelessness can be a catastrophe, Chen Yu naturally needs to keep an eye on it.
But in Chen Yu's opinion, several girls in the Chen family have been doing quite well these days, Chen Niuniu is by the side of the eldest princess, because she is similar in age to the eldest princess, innocent and cute, after Concubine De investigated the past, she was very relieved, and the eldest princess also liked Chen Niuniu, probably about the same age, and Chen Niuniu was not as boring as the previous palace maid, so within a few days, the eldest princess promoted Chen Niuniu to a second-class palace maid, not only more moonsilver, but also a lot higher status, because of the princess's love, Chen Niuniu naturally lived very comfortably in Yonghe Palace. Sometimes you can even receive some rewards from princesses, and your life is not worse than that of ordinary unfavored masters with low status.
However, Chen Niuniu is doing well, Chen Yu is also relieved, after all, among all the sisters who came to the palace, only Chen Niuniu is the least reassuring, and the rest of the sisters at least have martial arts to protect themselves, and they are more stable and intelligent, only Chen Niuniu does not know martial arts. is also very naïve, so what Chen Yu is most worried about is her, and now she is fine. Nature is something to be happy about.
Chen Erniu also had a good life in the big kitchen, although she went to wash vegetables at first, but soon after, because of her serious work, she was promoted to the place where she made snacks by the kitchen steward. It can be regarded as a promotion, and the oil and water here are very sufficient, if you learn a good dim sum skill, you will not be afraid of running out of money in the future.
And here, Chen Erniu's food will not be bad, at least compared to other palace maids, the palace maids in the big kitchen still have benefits.
Among the sisters, perhaps the most unlucky is Chen Daniu, who was assigned to the Yilan Palace. Wait for Wu to agree. Yilan Hall can be said to be Concubine Jia's territory, if it is Concubine Jia's maid, it is naturally easier, but as the palace maid promised by Wu, she is naturally inferior, and she is excluded and ridiculed.
However, Chen Daniu has a steady temperament and doesn't want to make trouble, so she has endured it. As a palace maid who is not favored as the lowest-level concubine, Chen Daniu has been mentally prepared from the beginning.
Chen Yu saw that his eldest sister was not doing well, she worked a lot, and she was ostracized. Wu promised to have no good face, because he was not favored, and he sprinkled his anger on the palace maid, either beating or scolding. Such a person, no wonder the emperor doesn't like it, if he were any man, I'm afraid he wouldn't like such a person, not to mention that Wu promised not to be very beautiful, in this harem full of flowers. It's just average.
If it weren't for the fact that his eldest sister could handle it, and she didn't suffer any losses, Chen Yu would have secretly cleaned up the other party, and the other party would not have noticed anything.
Now the harem is quite calm, after all, this is a critical moment, if there is any movement, so that the emperor is disgusted with himself, then the harem lord will definitely have no share of his own, even if he can't become the queen, but this time, the canonization of the queen, will definitely take the opportunity to seal the harem, and it is good to improve his grade when the time comes.
After all, there are only a few people in the palace who can compete for the queen's position, Jia Guifei, Hui Fei, Concubine De, Concubine Ru, etc., although the concubines at the bottom have a good family background, but the grade is not high, or the emperor does not like it, and the chance is not very big.
In fact, according to their identity and status, the ones with the greatest opportunity are naturally Concubine Jia and Concubine Hui, but these two have no heirs, although Concubine Ru and Concubine De have a little worse family background, but they have sons and the emperor's favor, so they can naturally add points.
The selection of the queen is not only the emperor's family affairs, but also closely connected with the previous dynasty, the birth of a queen, can revitalize a family, the queen mother's mother's family, is not because the queen mother became the queen, it slowly developed, otherwise, the queen mother's family is just an ordinary official family.
Therefore, the choice of the queen is very important, the emperor needs to weigh a lot of aspects, and can not just rely on his own preferences, or mind to choose, after all, the pressure on all aspects is also very great, especially the queen mother, because of the emperor's delay, the queen mother has become more and more impatient recently, if the emperor is not enough, I am afraid that the queen mother will let out the words, let the people of the mother's family unite with other officials, to put pressure on the emperor.
If it is something else, the emperor can naturally use the harem not to interfere in politics to restrain the queen mother, but after the election, this matter is what the queen mother should do, and the emperor cannot deprive the queen mother of her power, so this is also a headache for the emperor.
However, the emperor knows that Concubine Jia will definitely not be the queen, if Concubine Jia is the queen again, then the power of the relatives will be further strengthened, and then it will lose control, which is a very dangerous thing. If Concubine Jia has another prince, I am afraid that they will even do the things of killing the emperor and supporting the puppet emperor to ascend to the throne. The emperor had to guard against it, and this is also the reason why Concubine Jia married the emperor for a few years, and she has not come out of anything, naturally it is not Concubine Jia's own problem, but the emperor did something at the beginning.
As the general's daughter of Concubine Hui, naturally the same, the emperor also did his tricks, after all, the general who holds the power of the army, if his daughter gives birth to a prince, it is inevitable that she will have some different thoughts, even if she does not show it now, she will join the ranks of seizing the heir in the future, not to mention that the emperor can do whatever he wants in the court, let alone have any accidents, of course, the emperor for his own status, for the sake of the country, it is nothing to calculate two girls, after all, the emperor still has leeway, As long as the time is ripe and the position is stable, it is okay to cure them in the future.
