Chapter 113: For My Use
Mama immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, but the slave and maid can't afford such a big reward." Please take it back. Where the mother has a place to use the slave, please say it directly. ”
Zhao Yuwen said slowly: "Mama Wei, you have been in the palace for so many years, not only are you familiar with the palace rules, but you have also seen a lot of things in the palace, so I want to ask you to teach me more, I have made mistakes, not only for myself, but also for everyone." ”
Mama Wei's heart sank, this is true. Like them, the current people, and their masters are both prosperous and lossy. If it is an ordinary mistake, it is nothing, at most, the master has fallen out of favor, they can't be clean, if the master makes a big mistake, then it is not uncommon for the entire palace people to be buried together, and even the families of these palace people will be harmed.
Mama Wei has no children, and she loves her nephews and nieces in the capital as if she were her own children, and the money she has accumulated over the years has been given to her nephews and nieces.
Zhao Yuwen continued: "Mama also knows the situation in my family, although it is not as good as those princes of the clan and the king of the county, but it is much better than the average civil and military officials. My family is the mansion of the state prince, my father and brother have made great contributions, the saints are very good, the power is in their hands, the officials in the capital, the officials in the world do not give face. Also, my father and brothers are in charge of the war in the northwest, and a little thing that is left out of their hands is enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime. If the people in Mama's family need to do things in the capital, whether they want to do business in the Northwest Army, even if they want to join the army, or if they want to be a small official in the army, I can do it. ”
Mama Wei's heart moved. In the past few years, although the nephews and nieces have not worried about food and clothing, but. Just rent a shop in the capital, do some small business, and ask her to make up for it from time to time. If you can do some big business, you can live as a small official with a lot of money. I don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Not to mention anything else, the one hundred taels of gold given at once like today, can buy dozens of acres of land outside the city at once, and even she can rely on her when she is old.
Zhao Yuwen said: "How is it? Mama Wei, can you teach me? ”
As she was talking, Luomei had already taken out a small clip, and she was struggling to hold it. When the clamp was opened, it immediately shone brightly, and the one hundred taels of glittering gold ingots immediately dispelled the last hesitation of Mama Wei. Mama Wei bowed to the ground and said, "The slave is willing to give her life to be loyal to her mother." ”
Zhao Yuwen nodded with satisfaction, and Luo Mei hurriedly closed the clamp and put it beside Mama Wei. Zhao Yuwen asked: "Mama, I heard that the queens of our Great Chu Dynasty are all from families, right?" ”
Mama Wei stood up and said, "Yes, the slaves and maids have served three generations of emperors, and the queens in the harem have also changed several times. But every queen is a daughter from a family, some from the Bai family and some from the Li family. The last queen was Queen Wang, and they all belong to these families anyway. ”
Zhao Yuwen narrowed her eyes and said, "But now, there is no queen in this palace, and there are not many daughters in the family, only the Chen family and the Li family." ”
Mama Wei said: "When the emperor was still in the prince's mansion, there were many daughters in the mansion, and there were four major families, that is, the queen and queen, and the current imperial concubines were just the prince Liangdi. The crown princess is the Li family, because at that time. The empress of the former emperor is Empress Li, who is now the emperor's own mother. It's just that. Later, there were many incidents in the prince's mansion, and Bai Liangdi and Princess Li both died one after another. The emperor was crowned a great treasure, and only the Chen family and the Wang family were brought into the palace, among which the daughter of the Wang family became the queen, and the daughter of the Chen family became the concubine. Later, newcomers also entered the palace, and the four major families all sent their daughters in, but those young ones were all killed by the queen and died, and the waste was wasted, hey, the harem at that time was full of eyeliner, and life was very difficult. Later, Wan Guifei entered the palace, just a small nobleman, but the harem of Yanguan has always become a concubine, and she began to fight against the queen and the queen, and she fought very hard in the palace. At that time, the people in the palace were either Wan Guifei's people or the queen's people, and it was difficult to be neutral. ”
Most of these Zhao Yuwen didn't know, and after listening to it, she couldn't help but tremble. Mama Wei continued: "Queen Wang and Concubine Wan Guifei have rectified all the concubines in the palace, and even the current imperial concubines have been moved to the cold palace. This harem should have been three thousand beauties, but there were only a few concubines left, and most of them were not favored. ”
Zhao Yuwen said: "No wonder most of the positions in this harem are vacant, and even the positions of the four concubines in the past are also vacant." ”
Mama Wei said: "Life in this palace is not easy, many of the previous concubines were poisoned by the queen or Wan Guifei because they were pregnant, or died by abortion. ”
Zhao Yuwen immediately changed color: "Is it poisoned?" There is also poison in the palace? ”
Mama Wei said: "The queen has the power to kill these concubines, and she can give them poisonous wine at will. can also let the people around these concubines secretly poison these concubines without a trace. ”
Zhao Yuwen was already very afraid of poison because of her sister's experience, where would she have thought that the palace in the high position was full of things she was afraid of, not only could she be poisoned invisibly, but she could even be poisoned openly, and it was also a reward, which was equivalent to sending her life to others at all times.
Mama Wei looked at Zhao Yuwen's pale face, and sighed secretly in her heart, this delicate girl from a noble family, where can she understand the deception in this palace, it seems that her road is not calm, if she wants to live a good old age, she has to work hard to do it, so think about it, the gold she received is also worth it.
Zhao Yuwen was too impacted, waved her hand and said, "You all go down, I want to take a rest, and I'll find my grandmother to come in and talk at night." ”
Mama Wei and Luo Mei are busy.
Zhao Yuwen sat alone in the palatial palace, and suddenly felt that she had no sense of security at all, and her sister's death had been pestering her all the time. She couldn't help but sneer, and said to herself: "I'm really stupid, my sister hasn't become a concubine in the palace yet, but she has the qualifications to enter the palace, and she was assassinated. How could I be so self-righteous before? I was born in the national government, but what about the women of the family? Isn't his status more valuable than me, isn't he just a nobleman? I actually think that with the credit of my father and brother, the emperor must pamper me. However, you see, the person in the emperor's mother's family is only a nobleman, and even the emperor's wife can die unexpectedly, what am I? The Emperor's Favor? There are so many women in the harem, and I am not the most beautiful, where can I keep the emperor's heart all the time? It's really stupid, I almost made a big mistake and went down my sister's old path. No, I'm going to live in this harem. Also, how did I forget jì, although the emperor is well maintained, after all, it is already very old, and it is said that the emperor's age is older than my father, how can this shelter me for a lifetime? Even if I can maintain my grace all the time, if the emperor is gone, the new emperor will ascend the throne, if the third prince will ascend the throne, in order to avenge my mother, we concubines who are competing for favor with Wan Guifei will not all die. Those concubines who have princes and princesses are okay, they can go to the children's mansion to die old, what about me? Not to die alone in a royal temple? ”
Zhao Yuwen couldn't sit still, stood up and walked for a while, and said: "If this magnificent palace becomes a deserted nunnery, wouldn't it be better to marry ordinary people and be the wife of a rich man, at least you can still have children and grandchildren around the lacquer and call slaves and maids?" ”
For the first time, Zhao Yuwen felt why she was so stupid, and why she and her sister always regarded entering the palace as their goal of victory. Think about it carefully, since when did you have this idea, by the way, when I was still young, my sister's friend, Tian Minyi told them, the prosperity of the palace, the status of the palace lady is respected, and it is true that although he has lived a luxurious life in the Guogong Mansion, there is still no comparison with the palace. The walls of the palace are painted with spices, all the pillars are delicately painted, and the ladies are courteous and respectful. Look at the Daizi snail you use, this is very expensive outside, not a familiar customer, and those big stores don't sell it? But what about my own here, it is supplied monthly every month, and the quality of this is much better than the outside, so I remembered that those outside businessmen are deceitful, this is the real Dai Zi Luo, the so-called best Dai Zi Luo outside is just leftovers, and I have used it for so many years as a baby.
However, in addition to these, everything else is similar to that at home, the same three meals, the same silk and satin, but the palace rules here are strict, and you have to salute when you see someone higher than yourself. Where is it like home, the mother is pampered, and even the sister-in-law does not dare to offend their sisters.
How could he and his sister think about entering the palace? By the way, Tian Minyi is different, Tian Minyi has a very bad life at home, although she is the granddaughter of Shangshu, but her grandparents don't like her father and mother, they are very angry in the house, plus, her father spoils his concubine and kills his wife, which is not good for her mother and her, in order to get rid of this predicament, of course she wants to enter the palace. But what's going on with my sister?
The more Zhao Yuwen thought about it, the more angry she became, her sister was really stupid, especially herself, after her sister was killed by Tian Minyi, she actually followed Tian Minyi's words and happily entered the palace to be a concubine for an old man older than herself, it was really crazy, and in the future, if this old man died, he would be driven to the nunnery. Even if this old man is alive, she will not be able to get any better, the struggle in the palace is so fierce, if she stands on the wrong team, she may be killed with a glass of poisoned wine at any time.
Zhao Yuwen couldn't help but tremble all over. (To be continued)
