Aunt Lin still said warmly: "The Queen Mother has been sitting in the harem for many years, and she has a lot of followers, your father was released from the military power by the Queen Mother by the Queen Mother, and a full ten years have passed, and he has never said a bad word about the Queen Mother. Your father once praised the Queen Mother's 'Wen Tao Wu' not losing to the first emperor, and the 'Emperor's Mental Technique' is even worse than the current emperor. The Queen Mother never looks at people with her eyes, but with her heart. Can you do that? ”

Wanying looked at her mother in confusion, not knowing why her mother was telling her these things today, and she couldn't understand the deep meaning of her mother's words.

Aunt Lin continued: "Once the world changes hands, Prince Rong will inevitably be the successor of the new monarch, you are the concubine, and you will be the queen in the future, but do you have the ability of the queen mother to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai?" ”

"Mother, the Queen Mother may not be willing to abolish the emperor, and Qing'er sees the Queen Mother's love for Prince Rong, and she just wants him to be a happy prince for the rest of her life. And the emperor has the eldest princess secretly helping, which may not be the case. ”

"Qing'er, my mother doesn't want this either, it's best that you can live with the prince for a lifetime, but looking at the determination of the Feng and Zhou families to marry their daughters, eighty percent is to pave the way for the future."

"Isn't there an eldest princess?"

"How can the eldest princess be compared to the Queen Mother. The eldest princess may be able to compete with the Queen Mother, but the mother thinks that it must be the Queen Mother who wins in the end. ”

Wanying was stunned, according to her mother's words, wouldn't the country change hands in the near future? Thinking about this, it is not difficult to explain why my mother lost her words just now.

Maybe one day Wanying will also change from a concubine to a queen. My heart tightened for a while, and my teeth bit my lower lip painfully. If there really is such a day, Wu Anhou will let his daughter be relegated to the position of concubine with peace of mind? The fatal interests of everyone fighting for their lives, how could Wu Anhou easily miss it? Could it be a delaying tactic in front of us?

The confusion on her brows gradually relaxed, as smart as Aunt Lin, she had already understood everything in Wanying's heart, Qianqianyu put the forehead scattered on Wanying's face back with her hand, and said with a slight smile: "Qing'er is smart, she must have realized the truth in this, and things are not too bad so far, at least the prince is sincere to you, with this, we can also be regarded as victorious." ”

Aunt Lin's eyebrows suddenly twisted, her hands gently held Wanying's arms, pulled Wanying up, and said solemnly: "My mother has been wronged all her life because my mother is helpless and has to do this." But you can't, you have your father and your teacher's family as the backing, so my mother wants you to be Prince Rong's concubine from now on. ”

How Wanying didn't understand Aunt Lin's hard work: her mother wanted her to be no longer kind and perfect, she said so much, it was nothing more than telling herself that she was not ruthless, not vicious, not spicy, and in the end she could only be slaughtered by others.

"Mother, you used to always teach Qing'er to be kind to others."

"When I was young, my mother told you to be kind to others, so as not to make you a wicked person, and now my mother calls you ruthless, so as not to let the wicked mermaid flesh you."

Wanying looked at Aunt Lin thoughtfully, not knowing how to answer this sentence.

Aunt Lin bit her lip and said, "If your heart is not ruthless, your status is unstable." These are the rules of our women. ”

Wanying was both clear and confused in her heart, looking at Aunt Lin's half-sad and half-happy face, Wanying couldn't tell if she could be ruthless at the moment? But Wan Ying also knew that in the bloody battle of the royal family, if she was not ruthless, she would lose her own life, and maybe the life of the whole clan, so she nodded firmly when she thought of this.

Aunt Lin said suspiciously: "Ruthless, easy to say, easy to do, my son is pure by nature, Aunt Lin is afraid that you may not be able to do it when things come to an end." ”

While speaking, Yun Niang knocked on the door and entered, came over and took Wanying's hand, and said to Aunt Lin, "Your guest has pushed the meal and has left." Today's dinner was set in the main hall, and the lord told Grandma and Miss to come over early. ”

Aunt Lin glanced at the sky outside the window, and said to Yun Niang: "This double flat head is really ordinary, comb a Lingyun bun, and then take out the whole set of Diancui jewelry sent by Wu'an Hou's mansion." ”

Yun Niang nodded, and immediately went to open the box and pick up the jewelry. put it on the dressing table, and called Hongfu and Lurong into the attic. For a while, Aunt Lin combed Wanying's hair, Yun Niang matched the costumes, Lu Rong stood next to Aunt Lin and gave Aunt Lin a hand, and as soon as she combed the main bun, Hongfu pinched Jin Feng and inserted it firmly in the bun.

In less than a pillar of incense, Wanying has changed from a delicate little palace maid to a brilliant young lady. The red and green duo escorted Wanying downstairs with left and right, and there was already an old woman waiting at the door with a yellow cloth and oil umbrella, and more than a dozen master and servants, when they rushed to the main hall in the wind and snow, the whole family was already waiting indoors.

Wanying raised her eyes and saw that her father was sitting in the front seat, next to her was the wife who was full of spring breeze, Aunt Zhao beside the wife, seeing that Wanying was still nodding happily, Aunt Gao was sitting next to Aunt Zhao, with an indescribable expression on her face, lonely, joyful, and a little melancholy. Aunt Li and Aunt Gao have never had much to do with each other, and the two rarely sit together, but today they are next to each other for the first time. Aunt Cui has always been close to Aunt Gao, perhaps because of the sentence in the afternoon, the two sat at a table across Aunt Li.

When Aunt Cui saw Wanying coming in, she hurriedly walked over, with a bright smile like a spring flower on her face, and hurriedly placed Wanying beside her.

Wanying stood up a little embarrassed, and her wife said lovingly: "The third girl will sit at the main table today, there is no need to huddle with them......

Wanying sat down a little apprehensively, looked around, and just happened to see that on the second seat, Shao Song was also looking at herself happily. I haven't seen her for two months, Wanying forgot about being angry with her brother before entering the palace, and she also smiled heartily at Shaosong.

Aunt Lin stood next to the chairman, and Aunt Zhao said politely: "Sister Lin, sit down, it's the same for me to sit next to my wife today." ”

Aunt Lin was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. nodded one step ahead of the teacher, and then Aunt Lin sat down on the right hand side of the master with peace of mind. I was still embarrassed to comb my sideburns with my hands for a long time.

Wanying understood: Daddy's left hand side is his wife, and the seat on his right hand side should be Aunt Zhao's. His mother sat in the seat of the aunt in the second room of the teacher's mansion.

"Sister Lin, you are now a hero in our house. After the New Year, as soon as the three girls got on the sedan chair, it was the prince and concubine of Zhengyipin, whoosh...... What dignity and decency! Maybe one day the third girl begged the queen mother to give her sister a decree, and my sister is the first lady in our house. ”

Aunt Cui deliberately said the word 'Mrs' after 'Decree' very seriously. These words are obviously aimed at the wife, and only the wife in the master's mansion has a decree on the head of a lady of the third grade. It's just a title of edict, 'lady' and not 'lady'.

According to the "Great Zhou Huidian", the mother and wife of the first-grade and second-grade officials were awarded the title of "Mrs. Yipin" or "Mrs. Erpin". The third product is from the third product is the 'lady'. The fourth product is from the fourth product to the 'respectful person', and the fifth product is from the fifth product to the 'pleasant'. Zheng Liupin from the sixth product for 'Anren'. The mother and wife of an official below the sixth rank did not have an edict.

Moreover, in all dynasties, the biological mothers of the concubines, although they did not have a decree, but the mother was more expensive than a daughter, and she could also be named a decree. Tang Gaozong once named Empress Wu's mother as Mrs. Rongguo, and even Empress Wu's sister was also named Mrs. Korea. Coincidentally, Yang Guifei's biological mother was named Mrs. Liangguo by Xuanzong, and even her three sisters were named Mrs. Zhengyi Pinguo.

Aunt Cui insinuated at Mrs. Cui, most of the time, in the afternoon, Mrs. reprimanded Aunt Cui in front of everyone. So Aunt Cui held a grudge and calculated her rhetoric in her heart early, just waiting for Wanying and Aunt Lin to sit down, and also came out in front of an old novel.

Aunt Li didn't forget to be teased in the afternoon, and she didn't move her chopsticks before she moved her mouth, and said: "Sister Cui is drunk before she drinks, why is there no order in the house, and now Mrs. is the third product." ”

Aunt Gao couldn't see the open and secret battle on both sides, took the chopsticks, took a green bamboo shoot between Aunt Zhao and Mrs., stretched out her arm and put it into the dishes of the teacher, and said uninterestingly: "Sister Li, Sister Cui just said that Mrs. Fate, our wife is a fate, but she is a 'lady'." After Yun said lightly, he didn't forget to say to the master considerately: "Master, this green bamboo shoot was sent by the slave brother at noon, and he said that he would let the old lady, young master and young lady try it." ”

Aunt Gao didn't want to help Aunt Cui, but this sentence made Aunt Cui very satisfied, Aunt Cui picked up the chopsticks and put a green bamboo shoot in her mouth, and said with taste: "It's hard to get such a good thing this season, it's hard for my uncle." ”

Aunt Li was obviously a little irritated by Aunt Gao's words, and when she heard Aunt Cui say that Uncle Gao was 'uncle', she immediately grabbed the handle and sneered: "Sister Cui is really nonsense today, our uncle is the first emperor's own Bo Yuanhou, who only added a big fat grandson a year ago, when did an uncle come out?" ”

This sentence was clearly about Aunt Cui, but she accidentally slapped Aunt Gao's face. I saw that Aunt Gao was not sitting on the bench yet, and looked at Aunt Li with an angry face.

Aunt Li originally wanted to tease Aunt Cui, but she didn't expect Aunt Gao to bring it with her, seeing Aunt Gao looking at herself so indignantly, she simply twisted her head, and also took a piece of green bamboo shoots with chopsticks, and praised again and again: "This bamboo shoot is really crisp, it's hard for Uncle Gao to bother thinking about us, and he sent it over in the snow." After chewing the green bamboo shoots, he also gave Aunt Gao a piece of it as if he was guilty of it, and said with a smile on his face: "You are also a blessed person, when the little master of Guiyi also has a son and a half daughter, you are also a fateful person who can't run away." Now that the eldest son of the emperor in the palace has not yet been born, our Guiyi won the favor of the saint as soon as he entered the palace, and he was promoted to four levels in a row. ”

Aunt Li's words ironed the wrinkles in Aunt Gao's heart properly. Aunt Gao was radiant again, picked up the green bamboo shoots, and put them in her mouth proudly. That comfortable appearance seems to be eating not green bamboo shoots, but dragon bones and phoenix marrow. In this way, he also put gold on his face and said: "What you said is to the point, we Wanyun have been blessed since childhood, and a fortune teller before also said that Wanyun's fate is gold, and she is a rich and noble fate." Now he has won four levels in a row in the palace, which has no such precedent in the harem of our Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
