Chapter X
Chapter 10 Pampering
The soft, dappled sunlight was scattered among the leaves, on the doorway, and the chirping of birds penetrated the room through the green curtains.
The scenery is quiet and beautiful, but Hua Ying has no intention of appreciating it.
Yesterday she became famous, and everyone in the palace knew that one of the younger sisters of the concubine was unusual.
Not only did she win the favor of the emperor who didn't like the daughter of the Hua family, but she even dared to collide with Concubine De because she was classless and rankless.
Some people say that she is really temperamental, stupid and bold.
Some people also say that she is arrogant and rude because she has her back to the concubine.
No matter what kind of rhetoric, Hua Ying didn't care.
Since she chose to enter the palace, she is not afraid of any wind and rain, she wants to see different places, and she also likes danger.
Being in an unfamiliar, dangerous, and challenging place, and the feeling of tension in these dangerous places, is what she loves.
She copied the scriptures, but in her heart she began to wonder about the situation in the harem and how she should act in the future:
to get what she wants.
His Majesty the Emperor, who is the master of the harem, is the only son of the first emperor, and he has been named a prince since he was a child, and he has been carefully taught by many great Confucians, although his talent is not outstanding.
But the folk have always spread the reputation that the emperor does not like luxury and follows the advice.
It is said that when the emperor was young, he was very fond of the glass jars paid tribute by the barbarians in the north, and took them with him to play with day and night. Later, he was inadvertently seen by the then Prime Minister Lin, and Prime Minister Lin told him the story of the previous dynasty because the ruler died due to extravagance. After hearing this story, the emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, immediately dropped the glass cup and said that he could not have such a luxurious item around him in the future.
But judging from the last contact with the emperor, Hua Ying faintly thought that the emperor still liked to have fun and enjoy it in his heart. Yes, people who have no preference at all are definitely either saints or hypocrites, and it is clear that the emperor is not.
The emperors of which dynasty and generation do not shed an anecdote or two, but this does not say what kind of people they are
She kept this in mind and decided to verify it later.
If you guess correctly, you can start from this aspect in the future.
The emperor has been on the throne for more than 30 years, and there are more than 10 princes and princesses who have grown up under his knees.
The crown prince is the eldest son born to the emperor by the first empress, although the biological mother passed away, but the emperor favored the prince and did not set up another queen, and his status was as stable as Mount Tai.
It is also rumored that the prince Xiao's father has seen the appearance of a benevolent monarch.
The emperor is in the prime of life, but the crown prince has such rumors, which must have a lot of unspeakable internal information.
The second prince is not from a high background, his biological mother is just a palace maid, he has passed away for a long time, and he is not favored by the emperor, and there is not much news about him in the palace.
The biological mother of the third prince is Zhang Guifei.
Zhang Guifei was born in a slightly cold and was just the daughter of a small cloth seller, who was selected to enter the palace because of her beautiful appearance. After entering the palace, he was very popular with the emperor because of his gentle treatment and fair manner. not only gave birth to the three princes, but also handed over the palace affairs to her.
For such a woman with children and pets, Hua Ying feels that she should pay attention to it.
Concubine Zhao Shufei was born in a famous family, beautiful in appearance and raised the eldest princess and the second princess, not to mention, she is still one of the few high-ranking concubines who are still favored to this day, which is a bit incredible for her age, after all, she broke the curse of the harem of decay and love.
Hua Ying is very interested in this long-term favored Zhao Shufei and wants to see it.
Concubine Liu Defei has already met her yesterday, she is a person who must compete with each other and knows how to use her own advantages, otherwise Hua Ying would not be punished for copying scriptures here.
Among the high-ranking concubines in the palace, Concubine Xian died a few years ago, and the concubine position was vacant, as well as the noble concubine who lost the emperor's heart.
The concubine is his sister, and they are a natural ally in the palace, but the emperor doesn't seem to like the concubine very much, and even the women related to her.
Therefore, how to deal with the relationship between the concubine and her is also a key point of Hua Ying's thinking.
Hua Ying was a little puzzled by the fact that the concubine risked losing the emperor's favor and also had to give birth to a prince of her own blood.
After all, in addition to the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince, there are also four princes, five princes, and six princes.
The mother of the fourth prince is also a palace maid, so her reputation is not obvious.
The fifth prince and the sixth princess were all born to Lu Zhaoyi, although Lu Zhaoyi was born in a happy family, she was beautiful and good at Yaoqin, and she was very popular with the emperor. can climb to the position of the head of the nine concubines, and give birth to a son and a daughter, he is definitely not a busy person.
The sixth prince is only three years old, and although his biological mother Wang Zhaorong has been pampered since giving birth to him, the Wang family is a famous family, so no one in the palace dares to underestimate her.
Among the other concubines, the favored ones in recent years are Lin Xiurong in the Yanguan harem, the gentle and generous Lu Jieyu, and the cautious and polite Qin Meiren.
Others don't have anything to stand out about, or it may be caused by someone deliberately hiding their strength.
After combing through the concubines in the harem, Hua Ying also had a vague direction about what she would do in the future.
The first thing is, of course, to win the favor of the lord of the harem......
…………………………
After the emperor dealt with the government affairs, it was natural for him to return to the harem to rest and relax.
As for where?
He should have decided for himself, but he had always been self-denying.
If he followed his heart, he immediately remembered the little beauty that was sincere, lively, vivid and interesting, and refreshing to him.
Although she is Concubine Hua's younger sister, she has been sent out since she was a child, and it is rare that she has not been infected with the disadvantages of a high-ranking woman.
Although he thought about Hua Ying in his heart, the emperor, who had been taught to restrain himself since he was a child, did not dare to be too indulgent, so as not to attract the attack of the ministers.
Therefore, the emperor thought about it and went to Lu Jieyu.
In the days that followed, the emperor successively went to Zhao Shufei, Lu Zhaoyi, Qin Meiren and other places.
For half a month, the emperor ignored Hua Ying.
When the women of the harem have to think that Hua Ying's favor is just a flash in the pan, they are about to fall out of favor.
The emperor went to Hua Ying, not only went, but also stayed there for half a month.
Such an unprecedented favor made many palace concubines so jealous that they crushed their silver teeth.
In the jealousy and swearing of the harem women, Hua Ying was named a beauty again.
Such a leapfrog promotion has never happened in the emperor's harem.
At this time, the entire harem was alarmed, and even those high-ranking concubines who had already been "honored and favored" couldn't hold back.
Hua Ying has finally become a name that resounded in the harem, and even the previous dynasty had heard of it.
While many harem women dropped their jaws in shock, they were extremely curious:
What kind of charm does this woman have? What kind of means were used to make the emperor, who had always been restrained, so undisguised favoritism.
Could it be that she is really the red face of the charm of the emperor's heart transformed by some kind of spirit?
But there was one consensus among all: this woman was too threatening......
