Chapter 111: Taking Refuge in the Backer

Mrs. Zhao instructed this, she was already too tired to breathe, and Han Shuyi was busy helping her mother-in-law to lie down. After serving her mother-in-law, Han Shuyi returned to her yard, sat in front of the window, looked at the begonia tree, pondered for a while, and said to the big girl beside her: "Take the booklet of the treasury out, not my treasury, the booklet of the treasury of the public school, I want to choose a few treasures to prepare to enter the palace tomorrow, later, you call Han's mother to go to the palace to deliver the post, I want to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

The maid agreed, and hurriedly went to prepare, Han Shuyi chose a few gifts, and went to the palace early the next morning. When I arrived at the Hualin Hall where Zhao Chonghua lived, Rao is Han Shuyi couldn't help but secretly praise after seeing a lot of knowledge, it was really rich, the royal family was different, this Hualin Hall was magnificent, every piece of furnishings was very exquisite, the best white jade ornaments could be seen everywhere, there were two gemstone flower trees, and those exquisite porcelain were arranged in a patchwork manner.

Zhao Yuwen's face was full of smugness and said, "Sister-in-law, I can still see it here, right?" ”

Han Shuyi said with a smile: "Niangniang is really magnificent here, I have dazzled my eyes, it can be seen that the emperor loves Niangniang very much." ”

Zhao Yuwen said proudly: "That is, the emperor is very good to me and often rewards me with things." Shi Guiren, Li Guiren and the like who entered the palace with me are still crowded together in a palace room, how can they occupy a palace alone like me? Also, the Chen family sisters who are above me, but they entered the palace a few months earlier than me, although Chen Wenhua has sealed Chen Concubine and lives in a palace alone, but they are not as gorgeous as me. ”

Han Shuyi smiled and complimented her. Look at the left and right and say: "Niangniang, I have something I want to say to you alone, can you let the left and right step back first?" ”

Zhao Yuwen was a little surprised, but she still did it, and when everyone retreated, Han Shuyi said, "Niangniang is young and beautiful now." Naturally, it is a favorite, but how long can this beauty last? And also. Even if she is still young and beautiful, there is no shortage of beauties in this palace. I saw the newcomer laughing, and the old man crying? Niangniang still has to plan early for the future. ”

When she said this, Zhao Yuwen's face also darkened, and her eyes turned red and she said to Han Shuyi: "Actually, sister-in-law, I haven't told you that in the past ten days, the emperor has never been to my Hualin Palace." Because Shi Guiren recently painted a few paintings for the emperor, the emperor praised him a lot, and he was nostalgic for her for a period of time, and he was rewarded every day. I'm much calmer here. ”

Han Shuyi said: "Niangniang still has to calm down, this is also a normal thing, there are so many women in the palace, and there is only one emperor, so now you still have to plan as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yuwen hurriedly asked: "How to plan early?" If the emperor doesn't come, what can I do? ”

Han Shuyi said: "Niangniang must first regain her favor, and then. If you want to have a child, a woman in the harem, no children. All the qiē is empty. It's better to be a prince, even if it's a princess. This dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, because there have always been few princesses, so if you give birth to a princess, the royal family will also pay attention to it, and you will have something to rely on in this life. ”

Zhao Yuwen blushed and said, "However, this matter of having a child is not something you want to have." There are so many women in the harem, how many can there be children? And also. The emperor is not a young man, he is so old. It's hard to have children, isn't it? ”

Han Shuyi said: "Don't worry, I have prepared a prescription, which is a prescription for fertility, which is very effective, please ask Niangniang to take it on time." In addition to this, it is important to have one more point. ”

Zhao Yuwen hurriedly asked, "What else?" ”

Han Shuyi said: "Niangniang's position in the palace is not low now, but it is not high, so I still have to find a backer." ”

Zhao Yuwen pursed her lips and said, "Why am I looking for a backer, isn't the emperor my backer?" I am the concubine of the Duke of the Kingdom, with a noble status, who else do I want to turn to? ”

Han Shuyi was secretly anxious in her heart, but she said: "Niangniang is a noble status, but she is under the roof and has to bow her head. In this palace, there are many women with noble status. Look at the imperial concubine Niangniang, that is the daughter of the Chen family, and when she is in her mother's family, she can compare to the princess. There is also Li Guiren who came in with Niangniang, who is a member of the Li family, not only a family, but also the emperor's mother's family. and the Chen Concubine sisters, although they are concubines, their status is also higher than that of Niangniang. Therefore, in the palace, it doesn't matter what the identity of the mother's family is, what matters is the position after entering the palace. ”

Zhao Yuwen was skeptical.

Han Shuyi frowned and said, "Niangniang, do you know, now it is said in the capital that the emperor has vacated the position of the queen, and he is waiting for the imperial concubine Niangniang." From the founding of the country to the present, our Dachu has always been from a family. There are only three people from the Chen family and one from the Li family in this palace. The few young people who entered the palace with Niangniang Niang are naturally not as good as the imperial concubine Niangniang. You see, the emperor has handed over the palace affairs to the imperial concubine for so many years. If one day, the imperial concubine becomes the queen, then, Niangniang, your life and death are in the words of the imperial concubine. ”

Zhao Yuwen frowned and said: "We are all mothers, but we are just different in rank, if the emperor protects me, what can I do even if I am the queen?" ”

Han Shuyi looked at this stupid woman, she was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Niangniang, it's not like this." This royal family is the same as the things in our mansion, if they are all harem concubines, they are just high and low, but if it is the queen's mother, it is the emperor's wife, it is the main room, and the other concubines are concubines. Think about it, in our house, the mother knows the means of those concubines. Although my father protected me, my mother wanted to fight or kill, but she still sold it, it was all a matter of one sentence. ”

Zhao Yuwen was dumbfounded, she had never thought about this problem when she was young, she just thought about entering the palace, becoming a mother, glorifying her ancestors, enjoying glory and wealth, where did she think that this was just the emperor's concubine.

Han Shuyi said: "So, Niangniang, you still have to make more friends in the palace, be cautious in your words and deeds, and the most important thing is to take refuge in the imperial concubine Niangniang." Of course, now it is said that the position of the queen is between the imperial concubine and Wan Guifei, which is a gamble, if the imperial concubine becomes the queen, the people of Wan Guifei and her family must die very miserably, if Wan Guifei becomes the queen, then the women of the Chen family in this palace must all die. This team is also knowledgeable. My father and I discussed it, and we both thought that the imperial concubine had a better chance of winning. ”

Zhao Yuwen is not really stupid, but she didn't think about these problems, and when she heard her sister-in-law say it at this moment, she asked: "But the imperial concubine didn't give birth to a prince?" Wan Guifei has three princes. If the third prince becomes the crown prince, then Wan Guifei is not the queen? ”

Han Shuyi thought to herself, and finally knew how to use her brain: "At present, the crown prince can only be produced between the third prince and the fourth prince. Moreover, the chances of the three princes may be greater. Because the emperor has always liked the three princes, and he has no feelings for the four princes. This is something that everyone knows. However, this is not an ordinary people's family, the father will give the family business to which son he likes, this is the royal family, and the choice of the crown prince is not something that the emperor can decide alone. It also depends on the meaning of the four major families. Now that the four princes have received the full support of the Chen family and the Bai family, what else can the emperor do? Although the third prince is a good family, but until now, no family is willing to support him, this is an immediate opinion, right? Although the imperial concubine does not have a prince, the queen has always been born from the daughter of the family, and only the imperial concubine is the most suitable in this palace. Even if she doesn't have a prince, if the fourth prince becomes the crown prince, and the biological mother of the fourth prince dies early, the imperial concubine will become the mother-in-law, and there is no problem at all. Also, don't forget jì, the fourth princess, but the niece of the imperial concubine. ”

Zhao Yuwen immediately woke up: "Oh, listening to my sister-in-law's analysis like this, I really understand a lot, it is indeed like this." Then I still have more chances of taking refuge in the imperial concubine. ”

Han Shuyi secretly sweated, and finally made sense of the matter. Zhao Yuwen said: "Then what are you waiting for, sister-in-law, we will now send some gifts to the Imperial Concubine Niangniang's Zhongcui Palace, I have to show loyalty to the Imperial Concubine." ”

Han Shuyi said: "I have already prepared gifts, but it is better for Niangniang to prepare some more." Before I go, I still want to talk to my mother about a small thing. ”

After that, I told me what happened at home the day before yesterday. After finishing speaking, he said: "Because the third sister is young and ignorant, she offended the mother and daughter of the Chen family, this little Mrs. Chen is the most favored sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, and the sixth girl of the Chen family is also the most beloved niece of the imperial concubine, and the biggest support of the imperial concubine outside the palace is Chen Yuanheng, we just offended her, you say, can this imperial concubine still let you take refuge in her?" ”

Zhao Yuwen's face turned white with anger: "The third sister is really, why hasn't the death of the eldest sister alerted her?" How can you offend Chen Wenhui again? At the beginning, my eldest sister and I had a later thing because we offended Chen Wenhui, the eldest sister was selected and poisoned by Tian Minyi, if I didn't make a mistake and lost my life, I would be afraid if I wanted to come, I would dare to offend anyone, I would never dare to offend Chen Wenhui again. The third sister is really ignorant, what can I do? ”

Han Shuyi didn't know what was going on, because of Zhao Yuman's death, she only knew a rough idea, and there were many doubts in it, and it was only two or three days after returning to the capital, and she didn't have a detailed understanding of it. Hearing this, Han Shuyi hurriedly asked Zhao Yuwen about the detailed situation.

Zhao Yuwen told her sister-in-law what happened at the Spring Banquet 1510. Han Shuyi closed her eyes and said, "The eldest sister died unjustly." This Tian Minyi is really a poisonous woman. Chen Wenhui is now favored, it is decided by the imperial concubine that you people can enter the palace, but Tian Minyi just asked you to offend Chen Wenhui, it is really ill-intentioned, in fact, at the Spring Festival banquet that day, there were many competitors, only Chen Wenhui and the Bai family sisters could not enter the palace. Because the Chen family already has three daughters in the palace, it is impossible to have more, and Chen Wenhui has been personally crowned the county lord by the emperor, and it is impossible to enter the palace. Because the Bai sisters are related to the emperor, it is impossible for them to enter the palace. Why don't you all want to think about it? Fell for Tian Minyi's poisonous scheme? ”

Zhao Yuwen couldn't help crying when she heard this, and said, "Aren't we ignorant? fell for Tian Minyi's poisonous scheme. Poor big sister. (To be continued)

ps: Crazy codeword, I hope there will be three more this weekend.
