Chapter 24: Listen to the story of Bao Sheng

"Although Concubine Yi's appearance is more ordinary, she is the biological mother of the second prince, and she is the only person in the palace who can compete with Concubine Rong", Baosheng said, "The slaves and maids used to listen to the old eunuchs chattering their teeth, saying that the harem was divided into two factions, headed by Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi, and the people on both sides did not give in to each other, and fought to the death all day long. ”

"Who are the two factions?" Yin Lingyuan asked, although she didn't plan to get involved, but if she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, it was still necessary to understand the division of these forces.

"The good concubine Niangniang has followed Concubine Rong for many years, and Li Jieyu of Liqing Palace is the most important concubine", Baosheng said, "No matter how many slaves and maids there are, they don't know, and people on both sides often change back and forth." ”

"No wonder", Han Lu suddenly realized, "Concubine Liang sings and harmonizes with Concubine Rong all day long, specifically looking for our master's stubble." Don't you know, the first time you asked for peace, the master was almost scolded by Concubine Rong. ”

"Concubine Rong has always been powerful", Baosheng said, "She has been favored for many years, and even the concubine has given her three points." ”

"That can't stop the emperor from liking the master", Han Lu proudly, "With the emperor's protection, we don't have to be afraid." ”

"It's the same", Bao Sheng whispered, "But I heard that in the past, there was also a concubine who was favored by her, and offended Concubine Rong between words, and was directly beaten to death. ”

"Huh? That, that ......" Hanlu was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he couldn't even speak with his mouth open.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided", Yin Lingyuan said, asking, "What about the concubine?" ”

"The concubine Niangniang takes care of the six palaces, her temperament is quiet and elegant, she doesn't care much about anything, even the emperor is indifferent, except for ......" Bao Sheng said, glancing at Yin Lingyuan.

"Except for the matter of the eldest prince." Yin Lingkite interface.

Bao Sheng nodded, lowered his voice and said: "The slave maid heard that the eldest prince died when he was seven or eight years old, and the concubine has been in a slump since then, and her whole person has changed. ”

"No wonder you don't like me so much." Yin Lingyuan understood.

"Master, don't worry, you have already been punished, and the concubine should not embarrass you again because of that incident." Hanlu comforted her, and asked Baosheng, "What about the rest?" ”

"Other high-ranking concubines, as well as Concubine Jing and Concubine Sun, but they are not particularly favored, and they don't show anything on weekdays" Bao Sheng counted with his fingers, "Oh yes, there is also a Holland beauty, she is the biological mother of the little prince......"

Baosheng is like a few treasures, and the more Yin Lingyuan listens to it, the bigger her head becomes, she only feels that the harem forces are complicated, she still farms and grows vegetables honestly, and it is good to stay away from the turmoil of right and wrong.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, she wants to farm honestly, and she can't stand people from taking the initiative to come up.

In the next few days, Jieyu, beauties, and girls from various palaces appeared one after another, and Yin Lingyuan never dreamed that they had traveled to ancient times, and they still couldn't escape the fate of socializing.

She forced a smile every day, and accompanied Qi Ye's women to talk about awkward chats.

"Someone is here again", just sent one away, and Yu Ze's voice in his head reminded again.

Yin Lingyuan was excited: "Let's go", I saw Baosheng carrying a basket of vegetables, and he was blessed to his heart, "Send vegetables to the Queen Mother." As he spoke, he took his green treasure and fled with a smoke.

The Queen Mother likes to eat the dishes of Yinghua Palace, loves the house and Wu, and naturally has no ill will towards Yin Lingyuan.

"Try this, the best dish in the imperial dining room is the eggplant you sent", the Queen Mother smiled.

Yin Lingyuan didn't know any palace dining etiquette at all, and when he saw the queen mother's recommendation, he generously sandwiched a chopstick: "Well, it's really delicious, the freshness of the eggplant is fragrant with meat, and there is a smell of chicken soup." ”

"Your tongue is inverted." The Queen Mother smiled heartily, and turned to Fuxi and said, "This dish is well done, and Ming'er will send one to Yinghua Palace." ”

Fu Xi responded with a smile, thinking secretly in his heart, the Queen Mother rarely leaves concubines for dinner, and never gives banquets and rewards, this Yu Jieyu really entered the eyes of the Queen Mother.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and when they left, the Queen Mother also brought some snacks and told her to come often in the future.

Bao Sheng and Han Lu carried a big food box, smiling from ear to ear, and praised the Queen Mother for her kindness and approachability.

The autumn days are short, the day is dark after dinner, the surroundings are quiet, walking and walking, Yin Lingyuan suddenly heard the child's cry: "Who is crying?" ”

Hanlu also heard it, but it was better to have more than one thing, and persuaded Yin Lingyuan to return to the palace as soon as possible.

She didn't want to be nosy, but the further she went, the clearer her cry became, sometimes mixed with the woman's sharp scolding. When I turned around a rockery, I saw a gorgeously dressed beauty with an angry face on her face, pushing and shoving a little boy.

The child was only four or five years old, round and short, and he couldn't stand steadily when he was pushed, and he squatted on his buttocks, probably because it hurt, and his cry suddenly became even more pitiful.

The palace maids beside her knelt on the ground, but none of them dared to step forward to help their little master.
