Chapter 345: Sacrificial Dress
After all, the Queen Mother is still on her side, and with the support of the Queen Mother, I believe that my life in the harem will not be sad.
But as time went by, Shen Jasmine gradually felt that the Queen Mother had also changed a lot, she was no longer the Queen Mother who smiled lovingly when she saw herself, and she was no longer the Queen Mother who always stood behind her back to support herself.
In her place was an old lady who had exhausted her calculations.
Since Shen Jasmine and the emperor got married, the queen mother began to let the emperor spread out as soon as possible, and a large number of women were expanded for the emperor.
Most of these women are from the Fu family and are the queen mother's family.
They are directly subordinate to the Queen Mother, and they are the eyes of the Queen Mother who controls the entire harem.
During that period of time, Shen Jasmine felt that she was surrounded by the Queen Mother's people, and Shen Jasmine didn't dare to say anything, after all, her ability could not compete with the Queen Mother.
Shen Jasmine couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother, who was so loving before, seemed to be a different person after she married the emperor.
But later, she figured it out, it's not that the Queen Mother has changed, but that the Queen Mother was disguised too well before, she has always been such a person who has done everything, but she was too stupid and naïve before, and believed in the hypocrisy of the Queen Mother.
Although Shen Jasmine has experienced life and death once, she still has not understood the control of people's hearts, and after this time, she truly understands the horror of people's hearts.
The most terrifying thing in the world is the human heart, which can make you go to heaven one second and fall directly into hell the next.
That period of time was very difficult for Shen Jasmine, she even felt that the entire harem was isolating herself, and a large number of beautiful women of the Fu family surrounded the emperor, and the emperor quickly got tired of herself.
However, Shen Jasmine is a person who has died once after all, she has a longer-term vision and firmer determination than ordinary women, and she has seen through the true colors of the emperor and the queen mother.
For their father, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, in fact, they are still afraid, but they fall into their hands, but they can only make compromises, after all, the father is just a minister, even if he knows that he is angry in the harem, it is impossible for the father to tear his face with the royal family because of a daughter.
Since then, Shen Jasmine has known that whether she relies on her mother's family or the emperor, she will not be able to make herself invincible forever.
Only by truly relying on oneself can one make oneself go far, and after thinking about this matter, Shen Jasmine felt that her future was instantly clear.
Since then, Shen Jasmine has learned to maintain her obscurity, and she is still respectful to the Queen Mother as usual, maintaining a superficial harmony with the Queen Mother.
But Shen Jasmine already had the heart to tear her face with the Queen Mother in her heart, but the time was not yet ripe.
In her mind, the Queen Mother has already changed from her backing to her enemy, and since she is an enemy, there is no reason to be soft-hearted.
After all, being soft-hearted to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, but for the emperor, Shen Jasmine has always been ruthless, because the emperor is the person Shen Jasmine really likes.
No matter how the emperor treats Shen Jasmine, just if the emperor smiles at Shen Jasmine, Shen Jasmine can always find a suitable reason for the emperor, maybe he is busy with government affairs, or maybe he is forced by others.
Shen Jasmine lived in love for the emperor, and she even did not hesitate to make up lies for the emperor to deceive herself.
In fact, the emperor's mind is still on himself, it's just that he was dazzled by the women around him and couldn't recognize his heart.
For a long time, Shen Jasmine has relied on the little sweet memories between her and the emperor to survive in the harem.
She is like a huge lake that looks calm on the surface, but in fact the dark tide is surging, devouring one person after another who is not good for her.
After lunch, Shen Jasmine found someone to set up a soft couch for herself in a place where she could get the sun.
Shen Jasmine was lying on the soft couch, she could feel the sun piercing her eyelids and shining into her eyes, and there was a bright red in front of her, which made Shen Jasmine feel at ease.
The surroundings of her body are also surrounded by warm sunlight, and even the air is filled with the smell of the sun's freshness, accompanied by the cool breeze blowing in wisps, Shen Jasmine feels very comfortable.
Shen Jasmine suddenly remembered that it was also such a cool autumn when Fu Ruxue entered the palace, and Fu Ruxue still entered the palace as the dowry of the Fu family.
At that time, the Queen Mother had become more and more unscrupulous, and began to install a large number of women from the Fu family in the palace.
Although the Fu family is a big family, the number of women of appropriate age in this big family is also limited, so the queen mother did not hesitate to find some concubines and place them in the palace, so the harem was extremely lively.
At the beginning, when Shen Jasmine saw the women of the Fu family, she still had anger in her heart, and she inevitably had disputes with them.
But then Shen Jasmine was relieved, such a positive conflict did not do her any good, she should learn to keep her head down.
Since the queen mother wants to install her own forces in the palace, she, as the queen of the harem, can also cultivate her own forces, and when the two feudal forces contend with each other, it is time to rely on strength to speak.
But after all, she doesn't have the same resources as the queen mother, so she can only find people in the harem as her own power.
As a result, Fu Ruxue, who was not favored by the Queen Mother at all, entered Shen Jasmine's sight.
The reason for choosing Fu Ruxue is that Fu Ruxue's birth is really humble, and she is oppressed everywhere in the palace, and the other reason is also the most important reason, because Fu Ruxue's appearance is too good.
When she saw Fu Ruxue for the first time, Shen Jasmine knew that a woman like this would not be silent for too long.
As the emperor's pillow person, Shen Jasmine still has a very accurate grasp of the emperor's joy and anger.
When she saw Fu Ruxue for the first time, she knew that Fu Ruxue must be the type that the emperor liked, and at that time, Fu Ruxue stood among the harem concubines who looked so elegant and stood out from the crowd.
Although she is dressed plainly, it is this simplicity that makes her otherworldly.
Shen Jasmine looked at Fu Ruxue carefully where no one was paying attention, she caught the stubbornness and yearning from Fu Ruxue's eyes, she knew that people who yearn for it in their hearts would be easier to achieve than those flowery straw bales.
Therefore, Shen Jasmine approached Fu Ruxue intentionally or unintentionally, after all, the two of them are smart people, and it is always very easy for smart people to do things between them.
The two of them quickly reached a tacit understanding in the limited communication.
At that time, Shen Jasmine still had a place in the emperor's heart, so she often invited Fu Ruxue to appear in front of the emperor intentionally or unintentionally.
And in order to set off Fu Ruxue's elegance, Shen Shen Jasmine always wore red and green clothes during that time, but fortunately, Shen Shen Jasmine was in the atmosphere, and no matter how colorful the clothes were, she could hold up.
So during that time, there would always be Shen Jasmine and Fu Ruxue by the emperor's side, the two of them, one was beautiful and the other was exquisite.
Shen Jasmine will always reveal the emperor's preferences to Fu Ruxue, intentionally or unintentionally.
In this way, Fu Ruxue relied on Shen Shen Jasmine's support and her own wit to successfully win the emperor's favor.
During that time, the emperor was simply fascinated by Fu Ruxue, and every time after going down to court, he would go to Fu Ruxue's Luoxue Palace whenever he had free time.
Although Shen Shen Jasmine was a little disappointed in her heart, she was still relieved in her heart, she knew that she couldn't keep the emperor's heart.
Instead of letting irrelevant people get the emperor's favor, it is better to let the emperor stay by Fu Ruxue's side, after all, Fu Ruxue is his own person.
Fu Ruxue is powerful, and in the future, she will be able to balance the favor of the Fu family women in the palace for herself, and she will also be able to prepare for the overthrow of the Queen Mother in the future.
As the weather gradually became colder, Su Mian's work gradually increased, and soon it was a sacrifice ceremony, the queen mother, the queen and the emperor all needed to sacrifice to the sky for the people's harvest of grains, so they needed a new batch of dresses.
Su Mian's free time is becoming less and less, but she is very satisfied with this kind of life, so that she can stay in her small courtyard and make dresses for the royal family, and she doesn't need to go out to face those rights and wrongs.
For Su Mian, this is also a kind of mental rest.
Although Beichen Yu and Yunxi County Lord are both busy outside the palace for Su Mian, there are queen mothers and emperors in the palace.
Although the two of them have different purposes, they don't want Su Mian to leave the palace, so the matter of Su Mian leaving the palace is still far away, Su Mian has already taken these things calmly, and since many things can't be changed, then choose to accept it.
After the turmoil in the Falling Snow Palace, Fu Ruxue was grounded, so she rarely bothered Su Mian again.
Su Mian experienced a peace in the harem that she had never experienced before, but Su Mian was also secretly a little scared in her heart, because she knew that the tranquility before the storm was the most terrifying, and she didn't know what it would be mixed with.
Su Mian only kept telling himself that he must be vigilant in everything, only in this way can he truly ensure his safety and make himself able to survive until the day he leaves the palace.
Because there were suddenly a large number of requirements for making dresses, Su Mian felt that he was not enough, whether it was Xiao Yue or Xiao Xiangzi, they were all novices, and they couldn't help themselves too much.
Su Mian also applied to the Queen Mother, hoping to send a few capable people from outside the palace to help her, but the Queen Mother vetoed it.
For the Queen Mother, it was what she wanted to see that Su Mian could run into trouble, how could she satisfy Su Mian's wish so easily?
