This matter soon spread throughout the capital, and the big families knew about it. Chen Wenhui was listening to her mother talk about this in her mother's main room.

Bai said: "Our family has just sent a gift to the Zhongyi Mansion to congratulate her daughter on being selected into the palace and will be a nobleman." I also thought, wait until two days later, there will be fewer people to congratulate them in the house, and then I will take you to go in person, where would I have thought that this suddenly came out, and the candidate Miss Zhao died. This is already suspicious. I'm wondering here, that day I saw that the eldest girl of the Zhao family can sing and dance, and her body looks very good, not like a person with a hidden disease? This is not? In the afternoon, I heard that the home of Tian Shangshu, the secretary of the criminal department, was surrounded by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I heard that it was the granddaughter of Tian Shangshu's family who killed the eldest girl of the Zhao family, which is really a strange news, this is already incredible, and the emperor immediately issued a holy decree, for Tian Shangshu not only seized the official position, but also raided the family and exterminated the clan, only Tian Shangshu because of his old age, the emperor read his merits and was exiled for 3,000 miles. ”

Chen Wenhui was taken aback, why did this matter take such a sharp turn?

Bai Shi continued: "So I told your father that day, don't think it's a good thing to enter the palace, you see this eldest girl of the Zhao family, a healthy and lively boudoir show, once this is selected, before entering the palace, she has already died, but the Tian family girl who harmed her, what's good, not only is she a death, but also her family is affected, this is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family." I heard that the Tian family has been sent to prison, and even the servants are not spared, and they will all be beheaded in Xishi in about a month. ”

Chen Wenhui was taken aback: "Oh my God, how many people are here?" Just for a dead Zhao girl, well, I seem to remember that it was called Zhao Yuman? ”

Bai said: "Yes, this thing is very strange. This murder is fateful, there is nothing to say, it is normal for the girl of the Tian family to resist her fate, who let her do something bad, but. There is no reason to ask the Tian family to lose their lives for this. Even if the emperor is now very kind to Zhongyigong, and Zhongyigong's father and son have repeatedly made war exploits, it is impossible to lose Shangshu's family for one of his daughters? Even if this daughter has been selected, she is not a princess? Even harming the princess is not such a big crime, right? There must be something we don't know about this. It's true that your father is not in the capital now. We're not well-informed. Moreover, at this time, it is not easy to spy on the news. ”

Chen Wenhui once again felt the dictatorship of the feudal dynasty, in a word, the head is rolling, even if it is an official residence, what about it, a small thing can make the whole family accompany the funeral, there is really no human rights here. There's no security.

Bai Shi looked at his daughter and was silent, thinking that her daughter was scared, and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, this is still weird and scary." And neither the Tian family nor the Zhao family is related to us, and it is none of our business. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In this way, there are only two of the ladies who enter the palace, these two encounter such a thing, will the palace still let them enter the palace?" ”

Bai Shi smiled: "Silly boy, where in this palace will Cai Nu not be allowed to enter the palace because of the accident between the Zhao family and the Tian family?" The Tian family has fallen, but everyone still lives how they should live. still sings and dances, and still adds officials to knighthood. Moreover, this time there is a vacant position of Shangshu, this is the position of a first-class master, I don't know how many people can't sleep, they are all thinking about how to turn around the hole and find a relationship to sit in this position. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed.

Palace. There is also such a question, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office came to ask the concubine Niangniang, and now they still send the grandmother to teach the rules of collecting women who want to enter the palace.

The concubine smiled and said, "How can you not send it?" It can be carried out as it should be carried out, is it possible that our palace of Da Chu will be suspended because something happened to the Tian family or the Zhao family? Recruiting women for the emperor is a major event in the palace, and it must be carried out as scheduled. It also has to be carried out with great fanfare. It's just that now there are only two candidates. Wait a minute, I want to ask the emperor for instructions, do you want to choose from the candidates who have both ability and political integrity, and then two? ”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs retreated. Chen Guifei packed up and went to meet the emperor. The emperor was looking at the bottle and was distracted, and when he heard the report from the chamberlain, he hurriedly called the concubine in.

The emperor asked, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Ai coming over at this time?" ”

Chen Guifei's eyes were very sharp, and she saw the small bottle with a sweep, but she was full of smiles, pretending not to see it, and said: "Your Majesty, someone from the Internal Affairs Office came to ask the concubine, it was originally decided to send a nurturing grandmother to teach the rules of collecting women, whether it was carried out as scheduled." ”

The emperor said: "These things in the inner palace, Concubine Ai just decides." ”

Chen Guifei hurriedly agreed and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has two things to play. One is that the concubine thinks that the daughter of the Zhao family has such a thing, and the Tian family's questioning has made the people in the capital panic, and at this time, two more girls with both ability and political integrity should be added to the alternative ladies to calm the hearts of the people. ”

The emperor thought about it and said, "Well, Concubine Ai is thinking about it very much. I was very angry at the time, forgetting that it was a big deal for a first-class minister to raid the family and exterminate the clan, and it would indeed make people in the capital panic, so according to what Concubine Ai thought, I chose two more ladies, together with the previous two, they are all nobles. ”

Chen Guifei said: "Thank Huangen." The concubines thought that the Zhao family was fighting hard for the country on the front line, and at this time the daughter of the Zhao family was killed, although the emperor had already administered justice for the Zhao family and punished the Tian family, but in order to press the heart of the Zhao family, and also to appease the loyal and righteous father, and to soothe the hearts of the soldiers in front, is it not to give the second girl of the Zhao family a place among the two new ladies. On the same day, the second girl of the Zhao family also participated in the Spring Banquet, and her talent was second only to her sister, and her appearance and virtue were even better than her sister. ”

The emperor said: "The Zhao family should be comforted by the loss of their beloved daughter, this is still thoughtful by the concubine, so let's do it." Give the second daughter of the Zhao family a quota to enter the palace, and besides, this is not a nobleman, so let's just fill it up. ”

Chen Guifei hurriedly thanked her and said: "The concubine is deeply grateful, but the concubine still has a second point to play." ”

The emperor said, "What else? ”

Chen Guifei said: "The palace is about to enter the newcomer, this is a great joy, we people should celebrate with the sky, is it also to the existing palace concubines to be promoted?" For example, Xie Chonghua, who gave birth to the fifth prince, is it too embarrassing to be in the same position as Zhao Chonghua, who has just entered the palace? There is also a concubine Qian, who has been pregnant twice and has a little princess, should she also be promoted? ”

The emperor thought about it and said: "The talents in the harem are withering, and only Concubine De is left among the four concubines, and the rest of the nobles, Chonghua, and Zhaoyi are also very few, and it is very good to love the concubine." I'm not a person who likes the new and hates the old, so let's just take this opportunity to raise the position of the harem. Well, Xie Chonghua was promoted to a virtuous concubine if he had a prince, and this concubine was promoted to a concubine if he had a princess. There are also two Chen nobles who entered the palace some time ago, the eldest one is promoted to Chen Concubine, and the younger one is promoted to Chen Zhaoyi. If there are other people, etc., they will all be promoted by one level. ”

Chen Guifei was busy thanking.

The emperor smiled: "Why do you want to thank them for your concubines?" Concubine Ai has been busy for so long, she has all the credit and hard work, and she reconciles the harem and governs the harem in an orderly manner, which should be rewarded, I think she will also be promoted to the throne and become the imperial concubine. Concubine De has also been promoted to the next level, so she is still a concubine. ”

When Chen Guifei heard this, she was stunned, but soon she was full of smiles and thanked her. Then said: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks, this prince and the dead Xia Guiren, should they also get Mu Sheng's grace?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, when I say that, I do remember. Now the fourth child is very capable, he is my right-hand man, such an excellent son, but unfortunately Xia Guiren does not have this blessing, seeing his son so competitive, so be it, posthumously promote Xia Guiren to Concubine De. and Li Shuyuan, who has a second prince, is also promoted, but her status is low, before entering the palace, she was originally the maid of my wife Li, so although she has a prince for me, she is just a Shuyuan, but this is also the old man when I was in the prince's mansion, and now she has become the child's grandmother, so she will be promoted to Concubine Rong. ”

Chen Guifei was busy thanking her, and said: "Since the emperor has posthumously sealed the Xia nobles, and the concubine thinks of the eldest girl of the Zhao family who died unjustly, she wants to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, but she is not harmed by the villain, poor young girl, it is the age of a flower that withered like this." Moreover, because she went without getting married, she couldn't hold a good funeral, and she couldn't be buried in the clan land, which is really pitiful. ”

The emperor said: "Since this is the case, I will posthumously give her the title of Zhao concubine, and allow her to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. ”

Chen Guifei was busy and grateful.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs received the decree and hurriedly went to issue it. The palace was full of jubilation. But there were three people who were not happy at all.

One is Wan, who has become a concubine again. She was gloomy and said to the personal maid thrush who came to congratulate: "What is there to be happy about, how many years has this palace been a concubine, and now it is still a concubine, what does it mean?" Isn't there a bigger imperial concubine than me? And the queen's position is still missing. This Chen family is really an old fox, he doesn't spend a penny, so that everyone in the palace is grateful to her, and he also lets the ladies of the ministers enter the palace outside the palace, and those ladies thank her? Those powerful ministers don't look at her face in the future, it's really cunning and cunning, why didn't I take the opportunity to kill her when I was in power, and now it's an eyesore everywhere, it's really angry with me. ”

The thrush said: "Niangniang, I heard everyone talking about it, how could a girl from the Zhao family who was killed raid the Shangshu family and wipe out the family?" This is also too strange, not to mention that this eldest girl of the Zhao family has not yet entered the palace, has not served the emperor, even if she has been sealed as a concubine, there is no such severe treatment, is there something in it that we don't know? ”

Wan Guifei said: "Well, I also have some doubts. You go and keep a close eye on what is going on there. Go find the people around the emperor that we have bought before. ”

Thrush hurriedly agreed.

When the thrush was about to go out, a eunuch suddenly came to say: "Tell the noble concubine Niangniang, the emperor is coming here, please prepare to welcome you." ”

Since the emperor had a newcomer, the two young and beautiful Chen clans, they rarely came to the Jiuhua Hall Wan Guifei, and when they came so suddenly, Wan Guifei was overjoyed and was busy preparing to welcome her.
