Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Wang Family

When this second decree was issued, many businessmen who had not had time to donate were beating their chests and lamenting it. After all, the matter of knighting a merchant has not been encountered once in thousands of years.

When the military salary was abundant, it was also announced that the edict of "throttling" of Concubine Jing in the palace was abolished.

The cut in usage became a joke. The concubines who were sad in those days all took the opportunity to vent their anger, secretly gossiping and ridiculing Concubine Jing for being stupid, and couldn't think of a way to share the emperor's worries, they would only toss the concubines below.

Concubine Jing was helpless about this, and because the emperor had reprimanded her in public in the Hehuan Hall for not managing the six palaces, she felt even more embarrassed, and shrank in the palace for several days.

***

In Huayang Palace, Qi Ronghua, who had not been able to eat a sumptuous dinner for a whole month, finally received a sauce duck. Zhang Wanyi, who was dining together in her palace, saw that she was eating happily and persuaded: "Little Lord Ronghua, although the appetite is good, it can't be too much." Look at it, you finally lost three pounds this month, and the hard work in front of you was in vain......"

Qi Chengyu glanced at her and didn't care: "I'm too lazy to compete with them for favor!" The palace is full of fine clothes and food, and it is serious to have fun in time! You said that I lost three catties, that taste is really uncomfortable, and it's not the one in the Hehuan Hall who reduced my share and caused me to suffer! Fortunately, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, do you really think that no one in the palace can take care of her......"

Zhang Wanyi has a simple heart and has lived in the same house with Qi Ronghua for several years. When the two of them first entered the palace as show girls, the Zhang family was kind to Qi Chengyu, and Qi Chengyu had always been good friends with her, and he was not afraid to say this in front of her.

"Sister Qi!" Zhang Wanyi frowned when she heard this: "Concubine Jing is our main position, no matter how ugly it is rumored outside, we can't fight and tear down the stage behind our backs!" The two of us have not been favored over the years, thanks to Concubine Jing's recovery, our life is a little better......"

"Lordship?" Qi Chengyu Hehe sneered: "Do you really think she treats us as sisters?" Zhang Yihuan, I advise you to stay away from her, otherwise you don't know how to die! You look at me eating and drinking all day long, ignoring the world? Seeing the world flattering and flattering her on the face, is it really her horse's head? Scold! At least I'm more sober than you......"

Zhang Wanyi was so shocked that her mouth was wide open and she couldn't speak. Qi Chengyu got up and glanced out the window, with a puzzled face: "Where is Wang Cainu?" Didn't she come with you, why didn't she come in for dinner......

At this time, Wang Cainu was kneeling in front of the gate of the Scarlet Palace. Lin Yuan was also having dinner indoors, took a bite of the tender and juicy fried bun, and looked up at the window: "Is Wang still kneeling?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's still there." A second-class palace maid replied, and Chu Tao, who was serving the meal on the side, persuaded Lin Yuan: "Although Wang Cainu was born in a commoner and is extremely humble, she is a concubine and a little master, so Niangniang should pass her in." ”

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I'm done with my meal." Lin Yuan stretched out her hand and rubbed the corners of her forehead: "Chu Tao, you go and ask her again, why did you come to my Scarlet Building." ”

"Yes." Chu Tao didn't dare to be different, and went out with his feet up.

It's September, and it's a cool year, with a comfortable summer, but an extra hard time in autumn and winter. At dusk, it was already a bitter cold wind, Wang Cainu knelt with her head bowed wrapped in a Luo shirt, gritting her teeth to endure the stinging pain in her knees and the coldness of her body.

Chu Tao walked over from afar, looked at her like this, and sighed in her heart that the women in this palace could really endure any hardship for the sake of glory and wealth. She stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "Little master, it's getting late, aren't you going back to the palace?" ”

Wang Cainu shook her head and said, "The concubine asks to see Huigui Niangniang." ”

"The little girl picker should be careful." Chu Tao was polite with her, and the conversation changed: "Huigui Concubine Niangniang sent the slave maid out to ask for a question." Little master, why did you ask to see my mother? ”

Wang Cainu looked up in surprise, this sentence had already been asked twice. She lowered her head and replied as usual: "The concubine is willing to follow An Shunyi and drive for her mother." ”

It's not the first time that Wang Cainu has shown favor to Lin Yuan, she is unknown in Huayang Palace, her status is low, and she is not even as good as the servants in the palace, but she is not willing to die like this. But this Hui noble concubine was also difficult to serve, and she begged several times, but she couldn't get a reply.

The last time she congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday, Concubine Hui only reciprocated her a little benefit, which made her see hope and think that she could hold on to this big tree. I didn't know that there was no news after that, and Concubine Hui didn't seem to be too lazy to talk to her.

Now An Shunyi, who is good friends with Hui Guifei, has been favored and promoted, and Wang Cainu sees it in her eyes and is envious in her heart. If you can get the support of Huigui Concubine like An Shunyi, can you also be as favored as her? Hui Gui Concubine favored the six palaces, and like Chang and Guifei back then, no matter how powerful she was in the palace, she couldn't do it alone, she needed help! When she receives the emperor's grace, she can also do things for her like An Shunyi, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

Chu Tao shook his head slightly, turned his head and left. Wang Cainu looked at her back, anxious, what does Hui Guifei mean? She has been on her knees for two hours, and she still doesn't want to see her?

In a panicked moment, a cold wind blew, and a bright light flashed in Wang Cainu's mind. She hurriedly got up and limped to catch up with Chu Tao, grabbed the other party's sleeve and said hurriedly: "Peach girl, I know how to answer!" I want to, I want to drive for Niangniang, help Niangniang ......" said in a low voice: "Help Niangniang suppress the Hehuan Palace!" ”

Chu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay, pick the little master." Go into the temple with the slave and maid. ”

Wang Cainu was overjoyed, and hurriedly straightened out her messy clothes and hair, and followed in.

Lin Yuan's dining place was the inner room on the third floor of the Scarlet Building, and Wang Cainu, who had been kneeling for a long time, climbed up panting, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed when she entered the room. Lin Yuan glanced at her, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "Come on, show Wang Cainu a seat." ”

Wang Cainu sat down in fear, but still didn't dare to raise her head. She understands that she and Concubine Hui are different from each other, and a lowly concubine like herself, if she grabs a lot of money in the palace, she will wait to be bullied and die or be depressed in her life, and she will not have a bright future. If you are fortunate enough to be taken away by the favored and powerful concubines, it is simply smoke from the ancestral tomb.

The idle people in the room all retreated, leaving only a few henchmen in the first snow. Lin Yuan slowly pulled out a hairpin, scattered her hair and combed it gently. After a while, she chuckled: "Wang Cainu, you said before, what do you want to do for this concubine?" ”

"Yes, concubine, I am willing to stare at the Hehuan Hall for my mother......" Wang Cainu was very nervous: "The concubine knows that she is humble and mediocre, and she is not worthy of being compared with the little lord An, nor is she worthy of being favored." But concubines are still of other uses......"

If you want to get into the eyes of the concubine, you have to answer the questions correctly. This question is not so much to ask what she wants to get, but to ask what Concubine Hui needs.

Wang Cainu really wanted to be favored like An's, but after calming down, she thought that now that Hui Guifei already has a favorite concubine of An's to help, I'm afraid she doesn't need more, right? And what does Hui Guifei need most at the moment?

Wang Cainu guessed boldly. It's not a pamper, it's a ......

"Good!" Lin Yuan beckoned and ordered someone to carry a vermilion brocade box to Wang Cainu: "It's been a year since I moved to Huayang Palace, but I haven't given any meeting gifts to Cainu, it's really rude." The box was opened, and it was a hundred taels of gold, and Wang Cainu's face changed slightly.

"Wang Cainu should understand that I don't like waste." Lin Yuan smiled gently: "It's good to be able to understand what you are for." But you're only right, I'm trying to work on the Hehuan Hall right now, but it's not just about finding out the news. ”

Wang Cainu's pupils shrank suddenly, sure enough! Everything in the palace has to pay the price of exchange, and on the ship of Hui Guifei, what awaits her is not only the day of her beginning, but also more difficult things than she imagined.

Her throat was dry, and she reluctantly said, "So what does your concubine want her concubine to do?" ”

Lin Yuan stood up, got up and walked out of the window: "It's not a difficult thing...... Wang Cainu, you came today to get what you want, and I saw you today for the same purpose. After I gave birth, I have been promoted to a noble concubine, and I am quite unhappy when I see Concubine Jing in power for many days. And now Concubine Jing has been criticized for cutting her consumption, and she has been ridiculed by the whole palace as stupid and incompetent, which is a good opportunity. Wang Cainu, do you understand what this concubine wants? ”

Seeing off Wang Cainu, Lin Yuan leaned on the bed a little tiredly. The cry of a baby sounded in the inner room, and she hurried over, picked up the six princes and coaxed her.

"Niangniang, you are tired, let the slave come." The nurse was a person who could look at the eyes, with a short and fat stature and a smooth face. Lin Yuan kissed the forehead of the sixth prince, shook his head and said, "No need, you go down first." ”

She sat down on the soft couch with the six princes in her arms, and shook her arms gently. In the quiet dusk, the inner room is sprinkled with a small glow, resisting the slightest coolness. Chu Tao came in with a milk grape: "Niangniang, such a big matter, how can you hand it over to Wang Cainu?" You suggested to the emperor to replace throttling with the method of open source, which made Concubine Jing ugly, and finally got such an opportunity to seize power. ”

Chu Tao thought about it for a while, and then said: "Ye Guiyi's injury has just healed, and she can just use it, don't forget what she promised us to save her life when she gave birth to the fifth prince......

Ye Xiuxin was promoted together with the favored He family, she was injured in the epiphany flower garden, and it took a month to recover, and she began to serve Tuoba Hong again. Tuoba Hong remembered that she was hurt and pitiful, and she was gentle and gentle in service, so he gave her the title.

However, the fifth prince left Tian Concubine but went to the hands of Concubine Jin, and there was no intention of making an exception to return it to her.

"Ye Xiuxin can't be used this time." Lin Yuan's arms holding the Sixth Prince slowly tightened: "I have too much contact with her, and sooner or later people will be suspicious." In the matter of seizing power with Concubine Jing, although Wang Cainu has a low status, her ability cannot be underestimated. And...... One Wang Cainu is naturally not enough. Don't worry, I have other arrangements. ”

The sixth prince opened a pair of big eyes like dragon eyes, looked at Lin Yuan and smiled.

Lin Yuan sighed and put together his little clothes for him: "Xiaoqi, with you, I have to work a hundred times harder than before." You must bless me, and every step of the way, you must not make a mistake. ”
