Chapter 164
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to say which status is more noble, the harem concubine or the former dynasty's edict. These two are not originally based on the same law, nor are they within a system. In idle situations, the hands of the people in the harem cannot reach outside the palace. Moreover, with the queen in charge, even if she is in the position of a concubine, she can't be too arrogant. The edict of the previous dynasty also represents the face of the officials of the previous dynasty. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a husband is honored and a wife is expensive?
And the edict of the previous dynasty will not offend the concubines of the harem, everyone knows that the pillow wind is powerful. No matter what, the people in this harem are all the emperor's women, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, even if the emperor is not favored, they are still the emperor's people.
Shu Manjin is the Zhaoyi of the fourth grade, and Shu Manyao is the destiny of the third grade. One sits at the top with a smile on his face, and the other stands below with a blank face. The contest between the two sisters started when Shu Manjin sent someone to call Shu Manyao.
"Second sister, let me remind," Shu Manyao suddenly smiled and looked at Shu Manjin sitting above: "Just now in Fengzao Palace, I just kowtowed to the queen's mother." β
"Big sister, it's a shame that you have been learning the rules from Mother Chen since you were a child, you kowtowed to the queen's mother, but you have three heads. Although I am not as noble as the queen's mother, I am also the emperor's own Zhaoyi. The smile on Shu Manjin's face did not decrease, three is not good, and that one is also fine. Anyway, all she wanted was to trample Shu Manyao under her feet.
"I'm afraid it's going to be gone, I'm going to disappoint my second sister." Shu Manyao shook her head, and Shu Manjin smiled slightly: "What do you mean by this, big sister?" Could it be that I think that my dignified harem concubine, Zhaoyi, who was personally sealed by the emperor, can't stand a gift from you? β
"That's not what I meant, of course." Shu Manyao shook her head with a smile, and reached out to touch her stomach: "It's just that when I went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye earlier, the queen mother once said a word." β
Raising her eyebrows slightly, Shu Manyao looked at Shu Manjin: "The queen said that since her body is sinking, walking around the palace is exempt from asking for a salute." β
The queen mother still has a lot of affection for the big palace maid next to her, and she learned that Shu Manyao was Cheng's stepdaughter, and she knew that Shu Manjin secretly participated in the draft, and she knew that Shu Manyao was on Cheng's side, so she said two kind words to face.
It's just a kind word from the queen's mother, but when it comes to Shu Manjin, it's not a kind word. No matter how reasonable Shu Manjin is, he can't compare to the queen's words.
"Man Jin, for the sake of our sisters, I will give you a word of advice." Shu Manyao didn't wait for Shu Manjin to speak, just sat down on the chair on the side, looked around, and Shu Manjin didn't want others to see her embarrassed sister before, and in this hall, there was only Shu Manjin's personal maid left.
Shu Manjin didn't speak, just looked at Shu Manyao's eyes, and couldn't wait to eat Shu Manyao alive. Shu Manyao didn't care, only smiled and said: "As long as you are in this palace and what you say is not useful, then don't say it easily, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be qualified to speak in the future." β
"This harem concubine has two dependences, one is her mother's family, and the other is herself, I'm afraid you can't rely on your mother's family, Daddy is not a fool, even if Zheming is smart, it will take at least ten years for him to call the shots for you. In ten years, a pile of white bones can turn to ashes. Therefore, you can only rely on yourself, either the emperor's favor or the heir. β
Shu Manjin interrupted Shu Manyao's words: "I don't need you to teach!" β
Shu Manyao yawned: "Do you think I am willing to teach?" I just don't have anything to say to you, so I'm just looking for something to talk to. Sitting face to face with you, if you don't speak, the time will be too hard. β
Shu Manjin pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before lowering her voice and asking, "My mother's matter, did you design it?" β
Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly, and finally understood what Shu Manjin meant. She probably never believed that the Xu family was self-defeating, right? There are so many people in the Shu family, thinking about it, Shu Manyao is the most suspicious, so Shu Manjin has already decided on this matter, right?
"What's the matter with your mother?" Even if it was done by Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao would not admit it, besides, if the Xu family could be her stepmother and not have any bad ideas, would she deal with the Xu family? It's just that she treats others the way she does, and she never regrets it.
"Don't play dumb." Shu Manjin gritted her teeth, looked at Shu Manyao, who was sitting on the chair, quite pleasant, and suddenly showed a big smile: "You say, if I am suddenly pushed by you at this moment, and then fall down the steps and have a miscarriage, what will be the consequences for you?" β
"I advise you, it's better not to do that." Shu Manyao didn't panic at all, and raised her eyebrows slightly to look at Shu Manjin: "My father-in-law is still in peace talks with the emperor and Khitan at the border pass, my father-in-law has made great contributions to the emperor, even if I really do such a thing, a fetus that I don't know if I can save it, can I lose my life?" β
"Besides, are you sure you can do this thing without leaks?" Shu Manyao looked sideways at Shu Manjin, and Shu Manjin sneered: "I started arranging the ...... from the moment I entered the palace."
"Second sister, how long has it been since you entered the palace? How long has the queen been in charge of the harem? Shu Manyao interrupted her words and asked with a smile: "Are you sure that all of your henchmen in this palace are yours?" If something happens to me in your palace, you say, who do you want to please the most, and who do you want to step on the most? β
The concubine and the concubine both have sons, Shu Manyao's father is the emperor's confidant, and Yang Jianbai is young and promising, and he is also the emperor's confidant. And Shu Manjin is the vixen who robs men with them, one is worth wooing, the other is the opponent's mortal enemy, they are all smart people, they should know who to help, right?
"The most important thing is that after this incident comes out, the emperor will know that our sisters are not in harmony, you say, who does Daddy value most between you and me?" The emperor is now favoring Shu Manjin because Shu Manjin is Shu Chengye's daughter, if the emperor knows the reason why Shu Manjin entered the palace, and then looks at Shu Chengye's attitude, will he still be willing to give Shu Manjin this favor?
"You may think that the emperor may like you as a person, not your family background." Shu Manyao looked at Shu Manjin with a smile: "It's just, do you think that with your appearance, can the palace tolerate it?" Before you get the emperor's unique affection, do you have the ability to protect yourself? β
Shu Manjin's face became more and more pale, and Shu Manyao yawned again: "Before I came, I specially brought the palace maid beside Yang Meiren, do you know weishenme?" β
Without waiting for Shu Manjin to answer, Shu Manyao continued: "You said, there is an opportunity in front of Yang Meiren, let her change status with you, will she try her best to fight for it?" β
After speaking, Shu Manyao stopped talking. Shu Manjin's face turned pale and turned blue: "You have already counted this?" β
"I'm not an immortal, how can I count everything?" Shu Manyao sneered: "It's just that I think it's indispensable to guard against others, you are not a stupid person, you can weigh the benefits and losses yourself, I dare to come because I know that you are smart enough." If it were Manyu, I would never dare to come here by myself today. β
Shu Manyu's temperament is impulsive, and she will never care about any future gains and losses, she only cares about the breath in front of her. Even if it would really be as miserable as Shu Manyao said afterwards, she would never listen to it.
But Shu Manjin is different, while she hates Shu Manyao, she also cherishes her own life, and wants to keep her current glory and wealth. She wants to take revenge on Shu Manyao, but she will not take advantage of her future.
"Second sister, if there is nothing else, I will go first. Now my body is sinking, even the queen mother is a little worried, if I stay here for a long time, in case of any accident, I am afraid that I will bring trouble to the second sister. Shu Manyao got up with a smile and looked at Shu Manjin, this person, a moment of stupidity is a disaster for a lifetime.
Shu Manjin originally thought that he would be able to achieve glory after entering the palace, but he didn't know that this harem was the most complicated place.
Now, I don't know if she can figure it out, as long as Shu Chengye is alive, as long as Yang Jianbai is still the emperor's henchman, as long as she doesn't become the queen for a day, she can't suppress her sister-in-law.
Embarrassing a former dynasty in the harem is never as simple as you think.
Shu Manjin's face was full of black anger, but Shu Manyao ignored her, only turned around and left. There are many people in the harem, and the queen is the smartest one, and Shu Manjin's IQ can also show off in front of Shu Manyu, and when she comes to the queen, it is not enough to see it at all. As long as the queen is still alive, Shu Manjin will never be able to make her wish come true, so why should she worry about a Shu Manjin?
When Shu Manyao's figure disappeared at the door, Shu Manjin smashed a teacup on the ground and fell on the back of the chair on his back, only panting. The maid beside her was a little frightened, and hesitated for a moment before stepping forward: "Niangniang, why are you angry, when you become a concubine in the future, or even when you reach that position, if you want Mrs. Yang to pay for her life, it's not a word of kung fu?" β
Shu Manjin took a few breaths, but didn't speak, she wasn't stupid, Shu Manyao didn't cover up the matter at all, if Shu Manjin still couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't have been able to enter this palace earlier!
But it was because he thought too clearly that Shu Manjin became more and more desperate. The original idea was really too naΓ―ve, I just thought that this palace was the most noble place in the world, and when I entered the palace, I became the emperor's woman, and I was the most powerful woman in the world.
But I didn't expect that it was the palace, and it was also a place where I couldn't help myself. Even if she is favored by the emperor, I'm afraid she can't do anything to Shu Manyao, right? Although Shu Manyao is just a wife, she is the beloved wife of an important minister of the court, but she is just a pawn for the Shu family to give up.
Shu Manyao is right, compared with Shu Manyao, who will Daddy choose, that is a clear thing. One is the blood left by his lover, and the other is the bane left by the person he hates, even if she cares about family affection, her father will not let her harm Shu Manyao.
With the queen mother standing in front, and the two princes are smart and healthy, why should the Shu family put the lives of the whole clan on her Shu Manjin?
