Chapter 054, first-class palace maid
Lin Xianyu came to the Yanluan Palace for only three months, and was quickly promoted to a first-class palace maid by Concubine Shuhui.
Although the first-class palace maid's salary is the same as that of the second-class palace maid, the "dormitory" she lives in is much stronger. Lin Xianyu moved from the crowded Datongpu dormitory to the superior double room.
lived in the same room with her, another first-class palace maid of the Luan Palace, Danxue.
By the way, the name Le Xue seems to have been given by her.
Light Snow is quiet and is a very good roommate.
Although the "dormitory" of the first-class palace maid is very small, at least she already has her own bed, although the bed is only four feet, far less spacious and soft than the Babu bed of Concubine Shuhui, but finally there is no need to crowd with others, and she has a certain degree of privacy.
There is a small cabinet at the head of the two small couches, which can put some clothes and jewelry, which is much safer than sleeping in a large bunk.
In the middle of winter, Lin Xianyu made himself a rabbit skin lining of clothes and pants, and wore them in it, which was very warm.
By the way, the rabbit skin was rewarded by Tana as a concubine, which inevitably caused a wave of envy and jealousy among the maidens and grandmothers of the upper and lower palaces of the Filthy Luan Palace.
However, Lin Xianyu has been staying in the Yanluan Palace in peace, doing her duty and doing her duty, and several grandmothers in the Yanluan Palace have gradually been kind to her. Of course, the main reason is that these grandmothers dare not go against the concubine.
Lin Xianyu also gradually adapted to the career of a palace maid.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the spring of Kangxi's seventeenth year.
Lin Xianyu changed into a light spring coat, and only felt a lot more relaxed all over.
On the occasion of the warm spring, there is also good news in the palace.
Concubine Shuhui said privately: "The Wu Ya clan in the concubine's palace is happy, it's been almost three months." β
Lin Xianyu said secretly: This should be Yongzheng.
Concubine Shuhui whispered again: "However, I see that the appearance of the Wu Ya clan is far worse than yours!" β
Lin Xianyu smiled, "She is a blessed person. "-The same coating, the gap between Concubine Liang's Wei clan and Concubine De's Wuya's clan is really big. Wei's was an old Zhuhuang, and he only survived to the position of concubine, but Wu Yashi was the first batch of concubines, one of the four concubines in Kangxi's early days, and gave birth to three sons and three daughters, but only kept two sons and one daughter, and half of the premature death rate...... It seems a little abnormal.
Probably because he was born too much and attracted jealousy.
Thinking of this, Lin Xianyu didn't envy Wu Ya's clan anymore.
Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but pout, "How blessed can she be?" But if the child is born, if it is a princess, if it is an elder brother...... That's not for the concubine. β
Wu Yashi gave birth to a son to the concubine...... Well, the rush color is a bit subtle.
But to be serious, Wu Ya's fetus was really born to Concubine Tong Guifei.
Lin Xianyu casually took the milk cake in the enamel folding tray and ate it, "Concubine Tong, that's the niece of the Empress Dowager Tong." "ββThe harem of the Kangxi Dynasty attaches great importance to origin, so the Tong family is a concubine as soon as she enters the palace, and she only needs to survive Queen Niu Hulu to be promoted to the imperial concubine and even the queen.
Concubine Shuhui's expression was indifferent, "Empress Dowager Tong is a first-class and first-class good character, but her niece ......" Concubine Shuhui shook her head, "The queen is not dead yet!" She is also the one who holds the palace power and seeks the heir. β
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the inner sanctum.
The hurried voice of the eunuch, the leader of the Luan Palace, sounded outside: "Concubine, the queen mother-it's gone!" β
I just talked about this Queen Niu Hulu, but I didn't expect it to hang up so soon.
Before the queen's throne was hot, she went to report to Lord Yama.
Concubine Shuhui sighed pityingly, "Niu Hulu's family is also pitiful. When she entered the palace, although the emperor treated her well, she was far inferior to the Hesheri clan. Just after you died, she finally got pregnant with her first child, but she didn't expect that she had an inexplicable miscarriage after only three months and injured her body. β
Lin Xianyu was slightly surprised, "Her body and bones were obviously very healthy before, how could she have a miscarriage for no reason?" β
Concubine Shuhui muttered: "I'm a concubine, how can I know these filthy things?" Come to think of it, it's inseparable from that person. β
Lin Xianyu was silent, is it Hesheri again?
Yes, the Hesheri clan can't even tolerate the children of Rong Concubine and Hui Concubine, let alone Niu Hulu's background. The Uma Suppression of the Niu Hulu clan was also one of the four auxiliary ministers, and he was also a strong contender for the position of the Empress Yuan back then, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor chose Sony, which is equivalent to choosing the Hesheri clan.
Since it is a political marriage, this temperament and morality are naturally secondary.
Lin Xianyu asked in a low voice: "Is it true that the Hesheri clan died of dystocia?" β
Concubine Shuhui whispered: "Actually, when the Hesheri clan was born, everything was going smoothly and the mother and son were safe, but after the Hesheri clan drank a bowl of tonics, they suddenly bleed heavily. It's really weird, but my sister won't let me ask more. β
This means that the Queen Mother knows the inside story.
The harem battle is really tragic.
Lin Xianyu said: "Since everyone is gone, why bother to get to the bottom of it? β
Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but ask, "I remember that you suspected that the Hesheri clan had harmed Chengrui and Chengqing. β
Lin Xianyu said quietly: "It doesn't matter. "Whether it's the Heschelis, or the children, they're all gone. With her current status, if she pursues the facts, she is afraid that she will put her own life into it.
Concubine Shuhui said quietly: "Concubine Rong is also pitiful, she gave birth to six children, and only kept a son and a daughter. β
So why do you want to be the emperor's little wife? If you don't talk about it, you may not even be able to keep your own children.
Concubine Shuhui sighed and said, "It's all over, I think, although the Tong family is greedy, it is not a vicious person. In the future harem, I don't think there will be a repeat of the old things. β
Empress Niu Hulu is dead, and Concubine Tong is about to ascend the throne. It's a pity that this Tong family is also short-lived.
Kangxi, who died three queens, did not set up another queen, but let the four concubines jointly manage palace affairs.
Since then, the harem has been a lot more peaceful.
But what is the pattern of the harem, and what does it have to do with her?
She is the personal palace maid of Concubine Shuhui, and the battle in the harem has nothing to do with her.
Lin Xianyu hid his identity very carefully, and spent the whole day in the "dormitory" and the filthy Luan Palace, and did not set foot in other places.
When the funeral of Empress Xiaozhao Niu Hulu passed, the weather was warm, and a new noble lord in the palace was the sister of Empress Xiaozhao.
Because Empress Xiaozhao has not died for a long time, the little Niu Hulu clan has not been sealed for the time being, but the emperor has made a decree to give the little Niu Hulu the courtesy of the concubine.
Lin Xianyu saw this move in his eyes, but felt that Kangxi was using Xiao Niu Hulu to balance the Tong family.
Kangxi is really an emperor who likes balance, the former dynasty must be balanced, and the harem must also be balanced.
Previously, Concubine Tong was used to balance Empress Xiaozhao, and now Empress Xiaozhao's sister is used to balance Concubine Tong.
How can these noble-born concubines feel like the emperor's tools?
