289. Recruiting as a Concubine (II)
"But Wan Niang, your father is only a five-grade official, if you enter the palace, I don't know what position you can get, although there are not many concubines in His Majesty's harem, but all of them are from noble backgrounds, and their appearance is also top-notch, although your appearance is good, but ......" Xie Shi blurted out with a worried face.
"A-Niang, you know all these daughters, and the daughters haven't thought about how to be favored after entering the palace, but they just think that they will not be sad to serve Your Majesty with someone like the queen."
"A-Niang also knows that our women have a difficult life, no matter who they marry, life will not be easy, with A-Niang's family background and appearance, you can only choose a person like Daddy."
"How do you know that if you know your daughter, you will definitely be able to choose a wishful husband who treats her daughter wholeheartedly? Since the future is uncertain, it means that no matter who you marry, you may eventually have to face a bunch of wives and concubines competing for favor in your husband's backyard. ”
"In that case, why not choose a real hero to marry? His Majesty's harem is notoriously harmonious, and over the years, I have never heard of any rumors of the rights and wrongs of His Majesty's harem. ”
"My daughter is not a person who likes to make trouble, I believe that after entering, she can live well." Zheng Wan said.
Zheng looked at her daughter in a daze, she didn't know how to talk for a while, her daughter herself agreed, it was useless for her to say anything, and most importantly, she felt that what her daughter said was not unreasonable.
In this world, no matter what kind of woman she is, it is too difficult to find someone who always treats her wholeheartedly.
When Princess Pingyang Zhao was alive, she lived very well with the concubine, and the concubine only had one wife, and there was no concubine in the house.
The general Li Jing also has only one wife, and in addition, the Tang Dynasty has a name and surname, and only the prime minister Fang Xuanling has only one wife.
The wives of the first two are not ordinary people, it is not easy to reason, but Fang Daren and his wife have paid a great price for this.
When she was young, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill, and he was afraid that his wife would be widowed after his death, so he told his wife that if he died, he would allow his wife to remarry.
In order to show her loyalty, Lu Shi poked one of her eyes blind, saying that in this life, except for Master Fang, she will never marry anyone else.
Master Fang was moved, and when he was well, in order to repay his wife's affection, he decided to guard her alone in this life and no longer take concubines.
Even so, Lu's reputation in Beijing is not very good, and the ladies in Beijing, when they talk about Mrs. Fang, most of them have to say that she is jealous...... Xie Shi thought of this, looked at his daughter again, and couldn't say anything.
In the evening of the same day, after her husband went on a business trip, Xie went to find him, and Zheng Congzhen was full of resentment towards his wife, although he did not dare to attack, but he did not want to talk to her.
When he heard the legend that Xie came over, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Xie had already stepped into the door.
"What are you doing here?" Zheng Congji saw that she had already come in, and it was useless to say that he didn't see her, so he only looked at her very coldly and asked.
"The queen asked her aunt to come over today to spread the legend, saying that she intends to accept our family Wanniang into the palace on behalf of Her Majesty." Xie Shi glanced at him lightly and said.
"It's a good thing, with Wan Niang's appearance, the palace is indeed her best home......" Zheng Congji was stunned when he heard it, he never expected his wife to come to talk about this, and after being stunned for a moment, he was immediately overjoyed, high-fived and praised.
Since the emperor is still willing to admit his daughter into the palace, it means that he is not really angry with him, that is, his future is still promising?
Zheng Congji, who has been smooth sailing for decades, finally understood one thing after appreciating the strictness of his uncle and family, that is, if a man wants to live the life he wants as he wants, power is indispensable.
Xie Shi glanced at her husband expressionlessly, and felt more and more that she couldn't see people at the beginning, her husband was not just greedy and lustful, but after really encountering setbacks, the little bones of the family on his body were scattered without a trace.
But no matter how much she looked down on her husband in her heart, after getting the hearts of her husband and daughter, she knew that her daughter's entry into the palace was a foregone conclusion.
In other words, she saw her husband's face clearly, and after a comprehensive analysis, she also felt that the palace was the best place for her daughter.
Two days later, she went to inform her aunt Jiang and told her that she agreed to her daughter's entry into the palace.
After this decree came down, it aroused the side eyes of many people, saying that the emperor has been on the throne for more than four years, and his temperament and means are in the eyes of everyone, in the face of such a promising king, it is impossible to say that no minister has the heart to send people to the palace.
But the emperor has not held a palace draft in the past few years since he ascended the throne, and the relationship between him and the queen is very strong, no one in the ministers dares to open this mouth casually, but they don't want to, this new Zheng Congji Zheng is a good blessing.
This guy was first sued by his wife for being lustful and lustful, regardless of his wife's wishes, and wanted to force a orchid from the song workshop to be a concubine, and once became the laughing stock of his colleagues.
As a result, within a few days, things had such a big reversal, his daughter was taken by the emperor and admitted into the palace, and Jieyu was sealed before entering the palace.
This made people who had ideas in their hearts immediately want to move, thinking that it was time to advise the emperor to open a palace draft.
In this way, his daughter also has a chance to enter the palace, out of such a heart, not long after the holy decree of making the daughter of the Zheng family a concubine, someone proposed the draft in the court.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by the emperor, and Li Shimin scolded with a calm face: Now the treasury is empty, and you need money everywhere.
The proposing official was scolded for no reason, and he was very aggrieved, but after everyone figured out the deeds of this Zheng family girl, they quickly put out their hearts, without it, this Zheng Wan is too beautiful, when she was in Tongzhou, she attracted a lot of peeps because of her beauty.
If it weren't for the fact that the lintel of the Zheng family was good and could be protected, a person of her color would be in a very difficult situation, such a beauty, it was reasonable for the emperor to want to be included in the harem.
Don't talk about the hearts of everyone outside, but when it comes to the Zheng family, Xie sat in her daughter's boudoir, looking at her daughter in a daze, her Wanniang will enter the palace tomorrow, as soon as she enters the palace gate, it will be as deep as the sea, and it will be difficult for her to see her daughter in the future...... Thinking of this, the tears in my eyes fell like pearls with broken threads.
"A-Niang, Your Majesty has named me Jieyu, according to the system, Jieyu has the right to summon her mother's relatives, and after her daughter is settled in the palace, she will first go to the queen for instructions, and try to get as many opportunities as possible for her mother to visit the palace." Zheng Wan looked at her mother who kept crying, and she was also very sad, she held her mother's hand tightly and said softly.
"A-Niang is fine, you have just entered the palace, don't think too much, there are many rules in the palace, A-Niang ......" Xie shook his head, wanting to say something, but as soon as he spoke, tears rushed down like a river without embankment, and the later words couldn't be said at all.
