The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, but there is only one concubine.

First of all, whether to seal this concubine as the mother of the main palace and not to mention, this harem must not be so suspended.

Therefore, in the days when Yan Shu was dealing with the government affairs, someone jointly signed a letter, saying that he wanted to ask His Majesty to add a harem, for the sake of the heirs, and to extend the blessings that Dayan had not broken for hundreds of years.

The words are so good, but in fact, the purpose is not to send his daughter to the palace.

The ministers who had already followed Yanshu wanted to stabilize the regime, and those who had defected to other princes earlier were anxious and wanted to exchange a daughter for the opportunity to be intimate with the new emperor.

However, these were rejected by Yan Shu with "the first emperor will not go for half a month".

But who would have thought that there were still people who couldn't give up this shortcut, and actually brought the girl to find Bai Shao.

Although I don't know who the future queen mother is, Bai Shao is the fourth prince and concubine who has the power to buy a little wife for Yan Shu.

On this day, the sun was just right, and Bai Shao was accompanying Bai Wei to bask in the sun in the courtyard of the Four Princes' Mansion, when she heard that Mrs. Shangshu came to visit with her daughter.

"Mrs. Shangshu surnamed Hao?" Bai Wei is still very impressed by this name.

Without him, just because the "romantic affair" caused by the delicate naughtiness was too famous - the eldest princess was not even allowed to go to the scene of the death of the first emperor because of those things.

"It's Hao Shangshu's wife." Han Lian respectfully reported.

"It's really her ......" Bai Wei grinned, and said as if she remembered something for a while, "But her daughter, isn't that Miss Hao family married the second prince as a side concubine?" ”

Because of the departure of the first emperor, the death of the second prince seemed very insignificant, and even because he may have participated in the battle of the palace, this matter was deliberately compressed by some people, resulting in many people only knowing that the second prince died, not knowing how the second prince died, let alone holding a grand funeral for the second prince.

Fortunately, Yan Shu was generous, and did not bother with the second princess and those poor side concubines, and still allowed them to live in the second prince's mansion and raise the next generation well.

It's just that they are "widows" in terms of identity, and they shouldn't be so casual to move around, let alone come to the Four Princes' Mansion.

That's why Bai Wei has such doubts.

Fortunately, the fast-talking Hexiang solved her confusion, "The eldest lady of the Hao family, who is married to the second prince, and the second miss of the Hao family, today Mrs. Shangshu is the second miss of the Hao family, who is fifteen years old and has just passed the year." ”

"Oh......" Bai Wei understood in an instant, tilted his neck and stared at Bai Shao, and pulled an extraordinarily long "oh".

Although she has a somewhat reckless personality and a somewhat straight temper, she is not a fool.

At this critical juncture, Mrs. Shangshu came to the door with her daughter, and she could still see what was going on here.

Seeing her so cute, Bai Shao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Bai Wei was really angry, glared at her and said, "You are still laughing, what do people want to do, can you not know?" Still laughing here, your husband is going to be robbed! ”

"Grab it." Bai Shao said slowly, "In short, he will not belong only to me in the end, even so, what if he is robbed by someone, it is just a few more shares." ”

When these words came out, there was a lot more sadness.

Bai Wei gently tugged Bai Shao's hand, and said in a low voice, "Shao'er...... We didn't know that he was the fourth prince, let alone that he was going to compete for the throne, if we had known it a long time ago...... You say, don't you like him anymore? ”

"What happened at the beginning, where can I make it clear now." Bai Shao smiled, turned his head to Han Lian and ordered, "Bring in Mrs. Shangshu." ”

"You, you know what she's coming to do, and you still want to see her?" Bai Wei said a little anxiously.

"Of course......" Bai Shao gathered the placket of her clothes, tidied up her sleeves again, and made sure that there was nothing unsightly about her body, so she stood up, walked to the room, and sat in the right position dignifiedly.

Bai Wei stood behind her, looking at her fine palace steps, straight back, and a dignified smile with a few hints of kindness, and suddenly felt a sigh in her heart, always feeling that something was missing.

Is it the girl who laughs in the fields in an ordinary floral shirt?

Or is it the girl who rolled her eyes and thought about all kinds of ways to fix herself when Liu's sprinkled?

Or is it the sister who saw that Wu was bullied, and threw herself up without regard to her image, and scuffled with those old ladies?

Bai Wei felt dazzled, she seemed to see Bai Shao when she was seven years old just now, the girl wearing ordinary clothes, standing on a small bench, holding a cool skin with one hand and turning over an iron plate tofu with the other.

But in a blink of an eye, she became the Gu Bangqing who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking in the palace with a glance, and was indifferent to everything.

Eight years have passed in a flash, and Bai Wei has always felt that he can't see through this sister who is five years younger than him.

Nowadays, it is even more difficult to see through......

The Four Princes' Mansion, the main hall of the Yanyun Pavilion.

Bai Shao looked at the somewhat old woman with a smile, and the girl beside her who was a little shrunken, and said with a dignified smile, "It turns out that Mrs. Shangshu and the girl of the Hao family are here, please take a seat." ”

"I've seen the four princesses." Mrs. Shangshu humbly bowed to Bai Shao.

"Madame is very polite, this is according to seniority, Bang Qing is still just a junior, how can he receive such a big gift from Madame." Bai Shao smiled and helped Mrs. Shangshu with a smile, and said with a smile, "Madame, please sit down." ”

Mrs. Shangshu lowered her head and sat down on the side of Bai Shao's right hand.

During this period, Bai Shao never got up.

Bai Wei, who was sitting on the side of Bai Shao's left hand, pouted lightly.

Bai Shao saw her little action, and shook her head helplessly and smiled.

It just so happened that Mrs. Shangshu saw Bai Shao's expression, and her heart suddenly settled.

It is rumored that these four princesses used to grow up in a peasant family, but they had a high status, but in fact they were peasant girls inside, with no shelf or momentum.

At first, I was startled to see her so motionless, but it was just a papier-mâché tiger, which revealed the fox tail inside.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Shangshu was much calmer, first exchanged a few words with Bai Shao, and then began to talk about Yan Shu.

"This harem, it's big, there are four palaces before and after, when the first emperor was there, the harem was only more than 30 mothers, and it was cold and tight. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, this harem can't be too small in number, otherwise it will be too deserted, and you need popularity to be able to suppress such a big palace. Mrs. Shangshu said with a smile.

"Oh?" Bai Shao raised her eyebrows, and said in a light tone, "That's the ...... to be filled."

At this time, Bai Wei saw the stitches and said, "Yes, choose a few more palace maids to enter, if such a big palace is empty, it is easy to fall into dust, if someone sends it over, it will be better if someone sends it over, and you will accept it directly, and you will save yourself from choosing." ”

In the palace, the maids are divided into three classes.

The first-class palace maid is a personal palace maid, with status and status, and sometimes the big palace maid around the fourth concubine and the first queen is bigger than those ordinary concubines.

The second-class palace maid is responsible for clothes and jewelry, etc., although it is not as beautiful as the first-class palace maid, but at least she doesn't have to do dirty and tiring work.

The third-class palace maid is the one who does the work of sprinkling and sweeping, not to mention the monthly money, and she is the most tired and bitter, and the most shameless, because she can't see the master.

Now Bai Wei's words are to let the second lady of the Hao family be a third-class palace maid, and Mrs. Shangshu's face immediately changed when she heard this, and she said coldly, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" When will the affairs of the emperor's family have to be interfered by outsiders? ”

"Outsiders?" Bai Wei smiled when she heard this, "Shao'er, you tell her, am I an outsider." ”

"This ......" Mrs. Shangshu is also a person who has seen the world, as soon as she saw Bai Wei so fearless, she suddenly felt a "grunt" in her heart, and a bad premonition emerged, and her face became even more ugly. 、

Bai Shao saw the-for-tat between the two, if it was according to her own ideas, she would definitely help Bai Wei without hesitation.

But Ruan's earnest words a few days ago were still in her ears, reminding her all the time, "You now not only represent yourself, you also represent the Gu family", so that she can't act willfully and act recklessly, let her character do things.

So after thinking about it again, Bai Shao smiled lightly and said, "I'm really embarrassed madam, my sister-in-law was spoiled by my brother, and some words came out without thinking about it, which made Mrs. laugh." ”

Mrs. Shangshu was worried that Bai Shao would take the opportunity to attack her, but now seeing that Bai Shao was so tactful, she also took advantage of the steps to walk down, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the general's wife, I think she is young, and her personality is still a little naïve, it doesn't matter, my daughter is the same, but it's just informal." The women inside and outside Yanjing are strict with etiquette, and sometimes this true temperament is more liked by men. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Shangshu looked at her woman meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty can have such a generous and dignified wife of the four princesses by her side, and then have a concubine with an informal and innocent personality, it must be a great joy in life."
