Chapter 114: Willing to be a dog and a horse

Zhao Yuwen couldn't help shouting outside: "Is Luomei here?" Go and call Mama Wei in. ”

Luo Mei hurriedly agreed.

Mama Wei has already collected the clip of gold, and when she leaves the palace in a few days, she can give it to her nephew, and ask her nephew to go outside the city to buy dozens of acres of land, so that whether it is to collect rent for a year, or to hire long-term workers to work, there is some income, and she can't use it for the time being, but she can subsidize the nephew's family, and when she is old in the future, she can also have a home, there are dozens of acres of land, buy a few maids to serve, enjoy the family fun of nephews and nieces, and live a comfortable life in her old age.

At this time, Luo Mei came to call Mama Wei. Mama Wei tidied up her appearance and followed, thinking as she walked, since she followed Zhao Chonghua Niangniang, she had to plan for her. She is a princess of the country, has no life experience, and has an arrogant personality, how long has she been in the palace, and she has already offended many people, which is really a headache, and it seems that the future work will not be easy.

I was thinking that I had arrived in Zhao Yuwen's bedroom. Zhao Yuwen asked Luomei to move a brocade stool for Mama Wei to sit on. Mama Wei sued her guilt and sat down and said, "Niangniang, are you looking for a slave?" ”

Zhao Yuwen said: "Mama Wei, the current situation in the palace, you tell me again, I know it well, and the province is living in a mess like now." ”

Mama Wei paused, thought for a while, and said, "Back to Niangniang." Now in the palace, the highest rank is the imperial concubine Niangniang and the noble concubine Niangniang. The imperial concubine Niangniang is in charge of palace affairs, although the promotion of concubines, the power of life and death is not mastered, but the distribution of items in this daily life, daily use, clothes and jewelry. There are also the daily uses of all the grandmothers, palace maids, and eunuchs in the entire harem. The clothes and jewelry are all in the hands of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine Niangniang is very capable, when she was in the prince's mansion before. helped the crown princess manage the affairs of the palace, so he won the trust of the emperor. In the past few years, after the imperial concubine Niangniang took over the management of the harem, the chaotic scene has become orderly when the queen was managed. These subordinates in the harem are all praised. Of course, in this way, there are more people in the harem who act as the eyeliner of the imperial concubine. During the years when the concubine Niangniang was favored, she cultivated many people. Including the people in the palace, the people in the court, and the capable people in the rivers and lakes, so the power in their hands is also very great. In the past, the queen mother and Wan Guifei fought each other, and every time they fell behind, relying on the majesty of the main palace and the support of the Wang family, they were not completely defeated. At that time, I was sandwiched between the two mothers. All of them lived very hard, only the imperial concubine Niangniang, who was only a concubine at that time. It's a good life, left and right. It can be seen from this that the imperial concubine is so clever. Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial concubine is competing with the concubine for the back position, which will definitely cause a bloody storm in the harem. Please make a decision earlier, which side should you stand on? ”

Zhao Yuwen thought to herself, it was really the same as what her sister-in-law said. asked Mama Wei, "Mama, how do the other concubines in the palace stand in line?" ”

Mama Wei said: "Concubine Chen is the niece of the imperial concubine. Naturally, she is the person from the imperial concubine's side. Concubine Qian Shu used to be favored because of the recommendation of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine took care of the Qian family very much, and let the Qian family come to the capital from Jiangnan. Now they have all become Beijing officials. Therefore, Concubine Qian Shufei should also be the person of the imperial concubine. Although Concubine Xie Xian gave birth to five princes. But the fifth prince is not favored by the emperor, and his age is also young, Concubine Xie Xian was also able to get pregnant and give birth to the prince by accident, she was not favored before, and now she is one of the four concubines or not favored, she used to be very close to Wan Guifei, she should be the person of the concubine, and now she has become the fourth concubine, and she is not favored, it is estimated that she will also find a backer, some people see that she often goes to the Jiuhua Hall of the concubine, and she may be the person of the concubine. There are also Li Guiren and Shi Guiren who entered the palace with Niangniang. Shi Guiren has taken refuge in the imperial concubine Niangniang, and the reason why the emperor loves Shi Guiren so much these days is because of the imperial concubine's recommendation. ”

Zhao Yuwen immediately raised her eyebrows: "Ah, so that's the case?" That Shi Guiren is really shrewd, he moves fast enough, how long has he been in the palace? ”

Mama Wei thought to herself, it's not that people are fast, it's that you are slow. said on his lips: "Only Li Guiren has not taken refuge in anyone yet, but I think it should be that he will take refuge in Wan Guifei." ”

Zhao Yuwen was surprised and asked, "Why?" Aren't they all daughters of a family? ”

Mama Wei said: "It is precisely because of this, according to the convention, the queen can only be produced among the daughters of the family, and it is either the imperial concubine or Li Guiren." Li Guiren naturally can't stand on the side of the imperial concubine. It is possible that she will use Wan Guifei to defeat the imperial concubine, and then she will reap the benefits of the fisherman and become the queen. ”

Zhao Yuwen laughed: "Just Li Guiren? A little nobleman, dare to think about the posterior? ”

Mama Wei was unmoved, and said slowly: "The daughter of the family is originally different from ordinary people, besides, our palace in Dachu is still a noble person on the first day, and it is not for nothing that she becomes a queen the next day." On the contrary, the crown princess should have entered the palace as a queen after the prince became the emperor, but few of the previous crown princesses became queens. ”

Zhao Yuwen's face slowly turned cold, this harem is really wonderful.

Zhao Yuwen suddenly remembered that her father once talked to her mother, and her father said that Da Chu is different from all dynasties, because the world of Da Chu was not defeated, but usurped. The royal family of Da Chu was originally the same as the four major families, and they were called the five major families, all of which were the fans of the previous dynasty, so the rights of the emperor of Da Chu were not as great as the rights of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the emperor of Da Chu must be surnamed Liu, and the harem was all of the four major families.

I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm really right.

Zhao Yuwen said: "Which side does that grandma think it is better for us to take refuge?" ”

Mama Wei paused, and didn't dare to speak for a long time. Zhao Yuwen said to Luomei: "Luomei, go get two hundred taels of gold and send it to Mama." Also, I see that Mama's clothes are old, and I bring my four horses with older colors given by others to Mama, I use the old-fashioned style, and I think Mama uses it just right. ”

Mama Wei hurriedly said: "I don't dare to accept the reward anymore, I just rewarded the slave maid with a hundred taels of gold yesterday, and I haven't done an inch yet."

Zhao Yuwen said: "Mama, you can take what you give you, I am impatient to push, you are now in the same boat with me, please Mama with her past experience, help me show me the way." ”

Mama Wei hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, Niangniang, the slave is short-sighted, I'm afraid I'm wrong Niangniang." ”

Zhao Yuwen smiled and said: "Mama, I am the daughter of the military general's family, I don't like my mother-in-law, I am willing to lose the bet, if you choose the wrong one, I don't blame you, only blame fate, if you choose the right one, we will enjoy the glory and wealth together." ”

Mama Wei gritted her teeth and said, "The slave maid thinks that the imperial concubine has a better chance of winning. ”

Zhao Yuwen said: "Mama is the same as I think, so be it." Luomei, you and Mama discuss, open my treasury, see what good things there are, choose four precious things to give to the imperial concubine, tomorrow my sister-in-law is here, we will go to the imperial concubine Niangniang together, I am willing to give the imperial concubine Niangniang the work of dogs and horses. ”

Mama Wei glanced at Zhao Yuwen and didn't say anything.

The next day, Zhao Yuwen went to Zhongcui Palace with four gifts and Han Shuyi refreshed, and expressed her determination to the imperial concubine, and Zhao Yuwen also apologized to the imperial concubine, saying that her sister was ignorant and offended the county lord and Mrs. Chen. The imperial concubine didn't know about this, and said with a smile when she heard this: "It's all children, it shouldn't matter, it's just that my niece is extra smart, and my third brother and third brother and sister-in-law will be more pampered." My younger brother, even the emperor, did not talk about his background, and once called him uncle to his face. Haha, this is also their monarch and minister, just kidding. ”

Han Shuyi's face changed. What does it mean, although it doesn't matter if it is said, they are all children. But he also said that the emperor called Chen Yuanheng the uncle of the country, which has two meanings, one said, the emperor does not take other people's concubines seriously, and treats this concubine as a serious relative, are you a little girl in the palace older than the emperor? Another meaning, back then, the emperor had the heart to lift the imperial concubine, not the queen's younger brother, where can he be called the uncle of the country? This imperial concubine is really powerful, and after she goes back, she has to talk to her mother-in-law well, and it is not enough to punish her sister-in-law in the house, but she still has to apologize in person.

Here, Han Shuyi's face was covered with cold sweat, but Zhao Yuwen talked to the imperial concubine with a smile, and after a while, the imperial concubine was tired, and the two of them took their leave.

Back in the Hualin Palace, Han Shuyi explained the meaning of the imperial concubine, and Zhao Yuwen's face also changed, she was much worse than her sister-in-law in this regard.

Zhao Yuwen said: "Sister-in-law went back and talked to my mother, if my mother was short, I would invite my mother to come to the palace, and I would tell my mother in person." ”

Han Shuyi put her mind at ease, it seems that Zhao Yuwen has become a lot more sensible overnight.

Chen Wenhui is making a list here, which friends to invite on her birthday.

Bai Shi looked at it and said with a smile: "Are you going to eat in Qinghe Building like in previous years?" Do you want your girlfriends? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I am ready to invite twice. Once in the morning, I invited the ladies of the capital I knew during this period of time, and they also invited me for their birthdays, so this time I have to invite someone else. Just eat in our home, go boating, and enjoy lotus flowers. It's just that there are no good singing and dancing dancers to perform, or it would be better. In the evening, when everyone left, I invited my friend Mingzhu and Brother Liu, the fourth prince, and Brother Yi to have dinner together in Qinghe Building. ”

Bai Shi was right to think about it, so he said: "What is there in the capital, can there be less of a first-class dancing girl?" I'll leave this to me, and I'll invite the best to come, so that you little girls can be happy. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled happily. (To be continued)
