Shi Qingran glanced at the side, and after being by Shi Qingran's side for many years, he immediately understood what Shi Qingran meant, glanced at the others, and then retreated together.

"There are no outsiders here." Shi Qingran looked at Cheng Jiaojiao, and said softly: "Actually, you don't have to guard against me like this." I like you in my heart, and I won't hurt you. ”

Cheng Jiaojiao got up from the chair and slowly knelt in front of Shi Qingran: "Don't hide it from the queen, when the people entered the palace today, they really held the entrustment of their father." ”

"The former dynasty is closely related to the harem, and my father originally thought that if his daughter could occupy a place in the harem, my father would not be squeezed in the court, because a little wind and grass would be calculated."

Shi Qingran pursed her lips, she didn't expect Cheng Jiaojiao to be so frank: "Your father asked you to say this?" ”

"It's the people's daughter who doesn't dare to hide it from the queen. However, my father also said that the queen mother and the emperor are very smart people, if the people lie, the queen mother will naturally know, so my father also let the people be honest with the queen mother about everything. ”

"Your dad is bold." Shi Qingran said, squinting his eyes. The girl in front of her didn't have any complicated thoughts, but her father was not.

But compared to Su Yunting, she is very good. When Su Yunshu told her these things, she was selfish and wanted to use Toucheng in exchange for her help, so Su Yunting's "refuge" carried a bit of "betrayal" to her father.

But Cheng Jiaojiao is different, she is as bold as her father, and she advances and retreats to a certain extent.

Shi Qingran's eyes narrowed: "If you tell the palace so straightforwardly, aren't you afraid that if I tell the emperor, the emperor has the heart to punish you?" ”

Cheng Jiaojiao paused: "Queen Mother, what the people just said is an unwritten rule that everyone in the court knows, if the Queen Mother tells the emperor, presumably the emperor will not punish the people in a different way, but will only punish the people's father in another way." ”

"But as the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, and my father will not regret it. It's just that if because of such a thing, the court loses a capable official of the emperor, maybe the queen will also feel that it is not cost-effective? ”

Cheng Jiaojiao is smart, but she doesn't give people a feeling of being sharp, and now she likes it better.

"What about you? Do you want to enter the palace? Shi Qingran obviously didn't like to share a husband with others, but he still said it bluntly at the moment.

Maybe it was because she saw the red marks on Cheng Jiaojiao's face, she was gambling, betting that Cheng Jiaojiao didn't want to enter the palace.

Cheng Jiaojiao was silent for a while: "If you ask the opinion of the people's daughter, the people's girl is naturally unwilling." As the saying goes, it is better to be a poor wife than a rich concubine, even if it is a royal noble, but the emperor loves the queen deeply, and the folk girl enters the palace, she can only be a victim of a family, and it is impossible to be happy. ”

"However, when it comes to the family, what is a delicate woman? If you sacrifice Jiaojiao, you can satisfy your father, and make the family more blessed by the emperor, and the people are willing. ”

The former dynasty and the harem seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are closely related. Just imagine, if the palace nobles only have a foothold in the previous dynasty, if something is committed, the emperor will definitely be handed over to the criminal department to deal with. And the family that did not have relatives in the harem can only be slaughtered, if a woman enters the harem, the harem woman begs for mercy, maybe she will get some pity from the Son of Heaven.

It's just that no one has the courage to say such things in public.

"Hey," Shi Qingran sighed: "You are outside the palace, do you have any favorite people?" ”

Cheng Jiaojiao listened to Shi Qingran's words, raised her head and glanced at Shi Qingran in surprise, then looked at Shi Qingran's eyes, and shook her head: "Back to the queen's mother, on weekdays, my father is strict with her father, and the people's daughter has never left the house alone before she is fifteen years old." Therefore, the folk girl does not have a favorite person. ”

"It's just that the folk girl is a concubine, and she has seen the suffering that Xiaoniang has suffered in the house, so she is a little emotional, afraid that she will follow in the footsteps of Xiaoniang."

Shi Qingran sighed softly. There are thousands of people in this world, and there are thousands of troubles. At first, when she was in the Zhennan Palace, she didn't hear about the affairs of the court, and she didn't know that the court had so many intricacies. It's just that looking at it now, which of these officials in the DPRK and China is not a group of three wives and four concubines? In comparison, Song Yuchen is really a clear stream.

No wonder these courtiers wanted to send their daughters to the palace. In fact, perhaps in the eyes of these ministers, daughters are far less important than sons and careers.

Thinking of this, Shi Qingran felt that the women in the Taimiao, as well as Su Yunting and Cheng Jiaojiao, were very pitiful.

She liked Cheng Jiaojiao very much in her heart, and while she didn't want her to be trampled in the palace, she couldn't bear to let her lose face, so she was scolded by Lord Cheng: "You get up first." ”

"Actually, I'm quite lonely in the palace, so if you are free, or your father...... If you are asked to come into the palace to accompany the queen, you will come often. ”

If one day, Song Yuchen wants to take a concubine, she hopes that it will be a woman like Cheng Jiaojiao, not Su Yunting. So although Shi Qingran did not agree to help Cheng Jiaojiao enter the palace, he also acquiesced to her entering the palace to accompany her.

"If you have someone you like one day, this palace will also find a way to fulfill you."

"Thank you, Queen." Cheng Jiaojiao knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Qingran again.

Shi Qingran asked Cheng Jiaojiao to get up again, and after talking for a while, he gave her a biluo hairpin and let her leave.

Shi Qingran sat in the room for a while, then looked out the window and said, "You say, the emperor should know about Cheng Jiaojiao's entry into the palace, right?" ”

Lang'er was already standing beside Shi Qingran at this time, and when she heard her words, she hesitated for a while: "Maybe the emperor is letting them test your attitude; Or maybe the emperor just thinks that the queen is bored in the palace and lets these ladies come in to accompany you. ”

"Oh!" Shi Qingran responded lightly, and intuitively felt that when he went to the court today, the ministers must have said something, and said: "Or, you go and inquire again and see what happened in the court today, right?" ”

"Yes." Lang'er went out, and after a while, he turned back again, and it seemed that there was news: "Queen Mother." ”

"The slave maid heard that today in the court, several courtiers have intensified their efforts to admonish the emperor, including several ministers who have no daughters of appropriate age."

Shi Qingran had already expected such a result, so he was not surprised.

These people's suggestions were later rejected by the emperor. The emperor, with the secondment of the ministers, agreed to them. If the queen mother is relieved, he will agree to take the concubine. ”

Shi Qingran understood, this was Song Yuchen throwing the hot potato to himself!
