After Hong Fu received the order, he immediately arranged for the following people to do it. This matter is indeed related to the fate of everyone in the palace, and it is difficult not to pay attention to it.

And everyone in the Shaokun Hall also fell into contemplation.

Wang Jibao originally thought that when everyone was not ready to speak, a palace maid walked out of it.

After kneeling down in the center of the main hall and bowing to Wang Jibao, she prayed: "The slave maid Cailan is Liu Cairen's personal palace maid. A few days ago, the slave maid heard a new fellow who entered the palace say that the slave maid's mother was very sick and might not live long. The slave maid wanted to ask the eldest princess for a favor and let the slave and maid go out of the palace to take care of the seriously ill old mother at home. ”

Liu Cairen originally wanted to stop Cailan, but this girl was stunned these days, and she thought about leaving the palace. But how can it be so easy? Don't let that hurt you.

So she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in the center of the hall and said, "Concubine Liu Cairen, it's the concubine who didn't discipline this dead girl well." Please be gracious to the eldest princess! ”

Liu Cairen's status is too low, so he can only call himself a "concubine", not a "concubine".

Generally, people above the concubine level can call themselves "Bengong", and those with the position of nine concubines call themselves "concubines". Some of the people with low subdivision call themselves "concubines", and some can only be called "slaves".

Wang Jibao did not tell the two to get up, nor did she give an immediate reply. Just glanced back at the people below, and then asked very casually: "Who else thinks the same thing as this named Cailan?" ”

Since the joy and anger could not be heard in her voice, everyone was in their hearts for a while, but no one dared to rush forward.

The corners of Wang Jibao's mouth turned up, and she smiled and said: "If no one is willing to express their position, then this princess should be waiting for everyone to make the final arrangements." ”

At this moment, a well-dressed palace concubine who looked like a high-grade palace concubine stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Eldest princess, concubine, concubine wants to leave the palace and go home to serve her father." After speaking, she kowtowed to Wang Jibao again and said: "The concubine's father and mother are also old, and there is no one around to take care of them." The concubine wanted to go home and wait for them to grow old. In addition, the concubine had an older brother who died early. Only an eight-year-old daughter was left behind. Now by the side of the concubine's father. The concubine wanted to ask the eldest princess for a favor so that the concubine could leave the palace and go home to take care of her elderly father and young niece. Concubine, I beg you. ”

Wang Jibao still didn't say anything, and still asked lightly: "Who else has any ideas that you want to say?" ”

Today, Liangchen is in the house to watch the house, and the other three and Mama Lan Xiang follow. By this time, it was already dark. Wang Jibao hasn't had dinner yet, and if it continues to be consumed like this, King Shao will know about it, and he won't have to pick the skin of several of them.

So, Meijing had to walk up to Wang Jibao and remind: "Master, should we have some dinner first and then continue?" ”

Wang Jibao saw that the sky was really dark. It was ten o'clock in the evening when she summoned them, and it seemed that it was past the hour of eating. Time flies too fast. I guess the people below are also hungry.

Wang Jibao said to Hongfu: "Go and prepare a little dinner for everyone and bring it here." Just like this princess, invite everyone to a meal. After she finished speaking, she gestured to the beautiful scenery.

Meijing immediately took out a silver ticket from her purse and handed it to Hong Fu.

"Boss, this is the money for the master to invite everyone to dinner."

"This, how can this use the eldest princess's silver taels?" Hong Fu only felt hot when he took this silver ticket.

Wang Jibao said, "Take it." Now many regulations in the palace have not been decided. This princess can't take the lead in breaking the rules first. Besides, the princess's money does not belong to the palace, so it is more appropriate for the princess to pay for today's meal. ”

Meijing urged: "My master is most annoying about those empty things, she is not polite to you here, the master asks you to take it, you just take it." Just do your errands. ”

Hong Fu hurriedly said; "Good. Then the minion will do it. But now it's a national funeral, and it is estimated that there is nothing too good to eat, and I hope that the eldest princess will not be surprised. ”

Wang Jibao nodded her head. Then he said to the three people who were kneeling on the ground: "You guys go back to your places first." Then he said to the people, "You can discuss and discuss as you like." Princess Ben went down first to rest for a while. I'll bring a meal later, so let's be casual. ”

It is estimated that she is here, and this group of people dare not negotiate. After all, this is a big deal, and Wang Xibao decided to give them some time to discuss and make a decision.

With the support of the beautiful scenery and sunny days, Wang Jibao first went to the queen's bedroom to take a turn, trying to find a place to rest. But after all, this is a place where others once lived, and Wang Jibao felt very uncomfortable. So let Meijing inquire about which dormitory few people have ever lived in.

Fortunately, there are many rooms in the queen's bedroom, so it is not difficult to find such a one.

Wang Jibao chose one of them. Hong Fu hurriedly asked someone to prepare the new bedding for Wang Jibao.

Wang Jibao also felt that she was too tired this day, so she took off her shoes and went to take a nap.

She felt as if she had fallen asleep in a trance, and she had a dream. In her dream, a cute little dragon flew towards her, and called her mother with joy. But when she wanted to see what the little dragon looked like, she suddenly woke up.

What does that mean? How can there be a cute little dragon Guang, she is called a mother? Wang Jibao didn't care. Then he forgot about the dream. Because she was so hungry.

When the food arrived, she quickly swept it away. After dinner, she still habitually wandered around and practiced her fists and feet casually for a while.

This time, she did not immediately enter the main hall, but stood under the porch and listened for a while.

The discussion among the people inside was still very intense, and the focus was that Wang Jibao, the eldest princess, would let them out of the palace.

This is something that has never happened in all dynasties.

But from everyone's remarks, Wang Jibao also heard everyone's desire to leave the palace.

In other dynasties, there are many emperors' heirs. If there are heirs, the concubines can go out of the palace to live with their children and be old feudal kings. But Emperor Shaowen had a total of only a few children. On the son's side, two rebels have been ambushed, one is the current little emperor.

In addition, there are Xu Yanrong and three older princesses.

But the mothers of these people also died early. So the rest are all pitiful, childless concubines, and the vast majority of them are low-grade concubines.

The oldest of them were in their forties and fifties, and the youngest was in their twenties. Many of them have been widowed since they entered the palace. Many of them had never even seen Emperor Shaowen's appearance. This cannot but be said to be the sorrow of harem women, but it cannot but be said to be their luck.

Who is really willing to commit himself to an old man who is older than his parents, even if that person is the emperor.

Seeing that everyone was almost discussing, and they didn't dare to bring up the matter of the palace with themselves after discussing it, Wang Xibao walked in.

"Princess Regent has arrived!" Immediately, the little eunuch chanted and reminded everyone.

Wang Jibao glanced at the little eunuch. The little eunuch hurriedly lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Hongfu, who is this child?" Wang Jibao asked.

"The eldest princess is the godson of the slave." Hong Fu replied respectfully.

"Well, take it with you. But don't be in the right mind. Wang Jibao said.

Hong Fu hurriedly replied, "Yes." The slave must take this child well. ”

The little eunuch was very clever and bowed down to Wang Jibao and said, "The slave must listen to the words of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and godfather, and be a good man." ”

Wang Jibao: "Hmm. He ignored it.

When she approached the main hall, a group of concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs knelt down to Wang Jibao again.

"See the princess regent! The eldest princess Chitose! Chitose! Chichitose! ”

Wang Jibao sat down on the main seat and waved his hand and said, "Get up." ”

"Princess Xie Chitose!"

After everyone sat down in their seats, Wang Jibao asked, "Have you thought about it?" Seeing that everyone was looking at her, no one squeaked. Wang Jibao continued: "In addition to the palace maid named Cailan just now, there is also the palace concubine just now," Wang Jibao thought that the person had not reported himself to the house just now, so he asked, "What is your name?" ”

"The slave's surname is Zheng, and she is a little nobleman." The man hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

Wang Jibao nodded. "Well, Princess Ben knows. You go back to your seat first. Wang Xibao raised her head and continued to ask; Who else? ”

Wang Jibao felt that she had enough opportunities for everyone, and this opportunity was in front of her, and she had to rely on herself to fight for it. How can there be such a thing as pie falling from the sky for no reason?

This time, Su Mingran walked to the center of the hall and said, "The concubine wants to follow the eldest princess to the death." ”

This person, Wang Jibao, felt that he was really not mistaken. So he asked with a smile on his lips, "Why do you have this idea?" ”

"The concubine just wants to fight for this opportunity for herself. Moreover, the concubine felt that following the eldest princess could better realize some of her ideas when she was young. ”

Su Mingran saw Wang Jibao throwing encouraging eyes at her, and Fang Xiaoran said: "The concubine has been studying the "Four Books and Five Classics" with her father since she was a child. It can be said that the concubine learns better than several of her brothers. But just because the concubine is a woman, in the end, she only has to enter the palace for the sake of her family. And his brother can get famous. Therefore, the concubine has always been unwilling, why do the concubines have to cover up and hide their talents, and they can't let people know? Why do concubines have to be in this deep palace with their tails between their legs in order to survive until now? Does a woman have to pursue the principle that a woman's lack of talent is virtue? ”

Su Mingran looked at Wang Jibao with adoring eyes and said, "The eldest princess is also a woman, but the concubine heard that the eldest princess paints character portraits that no one in the world can match. The concubine admired the eldest princess in her heart, and she fought for all the women in our world. The concubine also wants to be as admirable as the eldest princess. ”
