Chapter 8: The Thoughts of the Concubine
Great Xia is the largest country in the world, the national strength is strong, prosperous and prosperous, this Shengjing, there are many nobles and ministers, and every one of them is a prince who can dominate one side.
There are a total of eight princes in the saint today, and behind each prince is a powerful family, Leng Guifei gave birth to six princes, Rong Junyi, the king of Ming, and behind him is Leng Taiwei, one of the three princes.
But even so, the road of the concubine in the palace is not easy.
The queen, the concubine, the Hui, the virtuous, the Shu, and the four concubines, each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention the favorite concubines who are riveting up one by one.
The road of officialdom is difficult, and the harem is even more difficult, eating people without spitting out bones, if you want to stand firm and stand tall, it is obviously not possible to be alone.
If the two families in the court are united, then the two concubines in the harem will also support each other.
The queen and the four concubines have their own people, but the concubine Niangniang is alone in the harem.
In the Shen family's generation, if Shen Ye has sisters, then he must have to enter the palace, but there are three men in their generation, only one concubine, and she died of illness.
The Shen family and the Leng family are clothed in water, but the Shen family has no one in the palace, which makes the concubine unable to find a strong ally.
Three years ago, Shen Jinqiao was only a little over thirteen years old, and the concubine Niangniang organized a hundred flowers banquet to let the girls of all families compete in their talents.
At that time, it was just the queen mother who took all the ladies to watch and have fun, but the emperor came in the middle of the game.
After some competition, Shen Jinqiao's talent was originally much worse than Miss Leng Yi, but because of his appearance, he was given the first place.
The four beauties hand-picked by the emperor's royal pen, the first place Shen Jinqiao, the sky is beautiful, and the peony is given.
At that time, Shen Jinqiao was only thirteen years old, no matter how beautiful he was, compared with the ladies of a harem, where could he be a heavenly beauty? But the emperor opened Chrysostom and mentioned the imperial pen, who dares to say that it is not?
After coming back that day, my mother's face was black, my mother has always been gentle, but that was the only time Shen Jinqiao saw her expression so ugly, it was difficult to see hideous.
She only said one sentence and gritted her teeth: "The concubine is really calculating." ”
Shen Jinqiao didn't understand at the time, what kind of calculation? But seeing that her mother was very angry, she didn't dare to ask, and then her mother took her to Huo's house, and finally ...... died for her in the Huo family.
Seriously injured and dying, her mother took her hand, probably knowing that her life was short, so she told her all those words.
The concubine Niangniang values her, because she is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, because the six princes need the support of the Hou Mansion, and everyone thinks that the concubine Niangniang will choose Shen Jinqiao, the concubine of the Hou Mansion, as the concubine of the Six Princes, but this is not the case.
Today's emperor is upright and in his prime, and he firmly holds the power of the country in his hands, and several princes have not won or lost a fight, and it is still early to fight for the throne.
Compared with the battle for the throne, the biggest threat to the concubine is still in the palace.
The concubine Niangniang deliberately let her show her face in front of the emperor, and she didn't fancy her to be her daughter-in-law, but to be her paving stone.
After all, Shen Jinqiao's face is already beautiful at a young age, and if it grows up, I am afraid that no man will not have a longing for him.
Especially the emperor who sits on the world, naturally has the right to have the youngest and most beautiful woman.
The concubine wants to take advantage of her, how can she not be good to her?
More than two years ago, her mother took her away, her mother died, she was supposed to keep filial piety for three years, and now the three-year period is about to pass, and these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods naturally appear again.
The concubine is good to her, but everything is based on her own interests, this person who has entered the harem...... Where is there anything simply good?
As for why Shen Jinqiao has to be used instead of Shen Jinxi, first, the weight is not enough, just a concubine, even if she is from the Shen family, it is difficult to climb to the concubine position when she enters the palace.
The concubine Niangniang wants to pull the fourth concubine and even the queen down, how can she do it if the weight is not enough?
The second is naturally because the concubine Niangniang is disgusted with Shen Jinxi's character, such a person is ambitious, and it must be very easy to use at first, but when she bites back, she is ruthless enough, she doesn't want to raise tigers.
Shen Jinqiao: ...... How does this mean that she is more stupid and easy to use?
------
In the palace, after the girl of the Shen family left, a person with brocade clothes and jade came in a hurry.
"Mother, I heard that Jin Qiao is back."
Leng Guifei slowly put down the teacup in her hand and chuckled: "You are well-informed, is it possible that you still fall in love with her?" ”
King Ming smiled: "Mother, what do you say, I just thought that I hadn't seen her for a long time, and when I heard that she was coming, I came to take a look, besides, didn't you ask me to be nicer to Sister Jinqiao?" ”
Leng Guifei smiled lightly, but the temperature in her eyes was very cold: "You, this palace told you so much, I can't remember anything else, but you listen to this." ”
King Ming didn't continue the topic, he hurried over not only because of the people of the Shen family, his face became a little serious: "Mother, the son-in-law received the news, and the prince is afraid that he is coming back." ”
Leng Guifei frowned slightly: "Didn't he stay well in the temple?" What to do when you come back? ”
"I heard that my health is already improving, and the people over there received the news that they are already preparing for carriages and horses, and I am afraid that they will be able to return to the palace in less than half a month."
Leng Guifei pursed her lips and snorted softly: "Let's go back, just try the water in this palace, that sick body, if there is a good one, then there will be a good show." ”
Everyone knows that the prince is not in good health, but he is a noble character, and he has had many disasters since he was a child, so he was sent to the land of Buddhism at the age of ten to raise, and he has not returned for nine years.
is also because he bears the name of the crown prince, Sheng Jing and these princes are stable, and they secretly make small troubles, but on the surface, they are all harmonious, but His Royal Highness the prince is back, and these people's minds may be different.
