Chapter 4 I was young
That night, the palace sent my aunt to the palace to teach me the rules of the palace, and my mother prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, and then arranged for them to stay, and began to teach me tomorrow.
I'm not worried about that, because I've learned it in my previous life. What's more, I have been immersed in the palace for six years, and I haven't learned anything else, these etiquettes can be used every day, and they are all ripe.
What I'm worried about is what will happen after I enter the palace.
I can rely on myself for the affairs of the harem, but what about the affairs of the family?
's father is still the concubine of the Seven Princes, and the biological mother and concubine of the Seven Princes have appointed their father to be the concubine since they gave birth to the Seventh Prince, because his father and the concubine's father are Jinshi of the same department, and they have a very close personal relationship. In addition, his father is now in the Ministry of Officials, and the deployment of officials in the world is in his hands, so it is not a matter of one or two days for the concubine to win over his father.
The reason why his father was demoted in his previous life was precisely because the seventh prince coveted the position of the prince, and the emperor had long taken a fancy to the second prince born to Zheng Guifei, the second prince had the assistance of his grandfather's chief and auxiliary ministers, and he was a very calm and introverted person, so the emperor always wanted to make him the crown prince. But the Seventh Prince didn't believe in this evil and wanted to compete with him.
When the two princes were fighting, their father was implicated.
In this life, I can't let my father suffer like this again.
So, after dinner, I went to visit him in my father's study. At this time, he should be in the study. Sure enough, when I entered the study, I saw my father checking letters from all over the world. Suddenly my heart was uneasy, in my previous life, my father was searched by the emperor and found that there were whispers in the letter with the Seventh Prince, and he was caught by the emperor and hurt his feet. I couldn't help asking, "Father, what do you do with these letterheads after reading them?"
My father looked at me puzzled and said, "Naturally, put it away." ”
I pretended to be naughty, smiled and said, "If you want to grab my father's handle, just from these letters." ”
My father was stunned, looked at me inquiringly, and asked, "How could Auntie have such an idea? Do you doubt that my father would write something rebellious on his letterhead?"
"The daughter naturally knows that her father will not write this," I said softly, "but there is no guarantee that others will not maliciously slander the father......?
"Presumptuous!" the father lowered his face and snorted, "how can you casually criticize the king? You are the one who will enter the palace in the future, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds." ”
I had red circles in my eyes and lowered my head, my father was just too upright! I said in a dumb voice: "It is precisely because my daughter is about to enter the palace that she cannot always accompany her father in the future, and she cannot be filial piety in front of her father, so there are some things that my daughter wants to talk to her father before she enters the palace." ”
The father sighed, slowed down and said, "Well, is there anything we father and daughter can't say?" ”
I thought about it and asked, "Father, do you know which prince the emperor loves the most?"
The father groaned slightly, and reported it like a few family treasures: "The son born by the queen was originally a son-in-law, but unfortunately he died." Now he has raised the young eleventh prince, and his biological mother is a palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, so the emperor did not put too much thought into it. The second prince and the sixth prince were both born to Concubine Zheng Guifei, and the emperor seems to value the second prince very much. The third prince was born to Xu Chongrong, who was cowardly and wooden, and Xu Chongrong used to be a female official next to the Queen Mother, and his background was not high. The biological mother of the fourth prince died early, and he was also exceeded, and he was also exceeded, and the emperor was no longer father and son. The fifth prince was born to Wang Zhaoyi, with mediocre qualifications, but he was reckless and impulsive. The seven princes born to Concubine He are smart and lively, and they have a very good rental style, as for the other three princes, they either have limited qualifications, or their biological mother's status is not high, and the emperor has never looked at each other differently. ”
In other words, in his father's eyes, the emperor loves the second prince and the seventh prince more than other princes. So, how about the comparison between these two princes?" I asked to the end.
The father was silent, in fact, he knew in his heart that although he was the concubine of the seventh prince, the emperor still valued the second prince more.
I sighed: "Father, you have worked hard for half your life, why bother making wedding clothes for others?" I saw my father's expression stunned, and said: "Father, my daughter will enter the palace in a few days, and my daughter, as the emperor's concubine, is also ...... It's also a ...... for the royal family," the last sentence was very quiet, but I knew my father heard it, because I saw that his expression was even more awe-inspiring.
I bowed a little, withdrew, and as I reached the door, I glanced at my father, who was still meditating. I didn't bother him anymore, these things should have been decided by him. Even my father can't escape his fate...... Then, I can't bow to fate. I firmly believe that since God has made me live again, it must be for me to change my fate!
In the next few days, I concentrated on learning etiquette, and although I knew everything, I still learned it step by step. This will not only make a good impression in front of the two aunts, but also stay at home for a few more days. Taking advantage of learning from them, I inquired about the situation and preferences of the masters of each palace by the way. To tell the truth, I have been in the palace for six years, and I don't know this, just because I was the focus of the palace at that time, and only others figure out my thoughts and act, so how can I be used to honor others!
Asking about these things will always be beneficial to me in the future.
During the break, I still went to my father's study to read, but I found that most of the letterheads on my father's desk were missing. My heart was a little relieved, but it seemed that some letterheads were so important that my father was reluctant to burn them. But that's fine, at least my father listens to me.
When I went to the study that day, I ran into Zhong Ran. He was a disciple of his father, and he often came to his father's study to read, and we had met before. He will always be careful to guard my side, never dare to disobey my will, and he also cares for me.
I remember the day I entered the palace in my previous life, he kept following behind the sedan chair I used to enter the palace, and kept following, until my sedan chair entered the vermilion lacquer gate of the palace and cut off everything with him, he stopped, and when I looked back again, I only saw a small black dot. I don't know how long he stood there, but I think it's been a long, long time.
In my previous life, I always felt that I was young at that time, and I didn't understand why this young man always humbled me and why he always looked at me with such pity and weakness, but now, I understand.
When he saw that I was there, his face turned slightly red, and I smiled at him and said, "What book do you want to read?"
"The Legend of the Forest". He said.
I found it and handed it to him, and asked by the way, "Have you finished reading all the four books and five classics?"
He nodded, a little cramped. I laughed again, he was always like this, he was able to speak well in front of my father, but he was always calm in front of me. I said, "Zhong Ran, why don't you go to the examination for fame? Become an official with your own ability, if you become an official, you will definitely be a good official." Later...... I am in the outer court, in addition to my father, I also have someone to rely on. Somewhat stunned to say these words, I sighed and walked out lonely.
Through the window lattice of the study, I saw him put down the "Maolin Guangji" and took a copy of the "Eight Strands Compendium". For some reason, there was a hint of sweetness and a hint of bitterness in my heart.
