Chapter 235 The Resentful Girl in the Palace
Yuwen Lingxin dragged her pregnant body and hurried to see Guanyin.
She brought a surprising news to Guanyin: something happened in the harem last night.
Guanyin saw Yuwen Lingxin with an unpredictable look on her face, and she didn't know what her purpose was for coming in a hurry.
What does the harem have to do with Yuwen Lingxin? If something happens in the harem, there will be internal attendants and female officials to deal with it, so why do you need Yuwen Lingxin to report to her?
------
No matter what Yuwen Lingxin's purpose is, Guanyin still wants to know what happened in the harem, and she also wants to figure out Yuwen Lingxin's true motives through some clues in the conversation with Yuwen Lingxin.
Guanyin affectionately beckoned Yuwen Lingxin to sit down and talk, and instructed Zhanhua to pour her a cup of red date and ginger tea to warm her body.
After Yuwen Lingxin sat down and calmed down, Guanyin asked with a smile, "Yuwen Baolin said, what happened in the harem?"
------
Yuwen Lingxin put down the bowl in her hand and said with an angry face, "Shang Sleep Bureau has trampled to the death of a harem woman again."
"Last night, the royal maid of the Caisi Courtyard, Cui, was dissatisfied with the Shang Sleeping Bureau transferring yesterday's opportunity to enter the palace to other palaces, and she was resentful in her heart and hanged herself."
"I heard that Cui wrote a poem before he died, expressing his grievances."
------
A few years ago, Mo Lifang had just died of dystocia, and now Guanyin heard that someone had committed suicide, and she was very sad in her heart, so she wanted to know the details of the matter.
So, she said to Yuwen Lingxin in a slow voice, "Yuwen Baolin, tell me carefully, what's going on."
Yuwen Lingxin was filled with indignation, and tearfully told Guanyin what she knew.
------
Cui, who hanged himself last night, is a seven-rank royal maid in the Caisi Academy.
Because Caisi Courtyard and Jingshu Hall are two adjacent palaces, Cui Yunu and Yuwen Lingxin have a lot of contacts and have a good relationship. In the past, when Yuwen Lingxin was not favored, the two of them shared the same illness and often talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together to pass the boring time.
Later, Yuwen Lingxin regained her favor and became pregnant with the Lord's child, Cui Yunu was very envious in her heart, and she had never been favored in the palace for a few years, so she felt a little sorry for herself in her heart, and longed for Li Yuan's favor one day.
------
However, after Li Yuan became emperor, because he was over fifty years old, the number of concubines in the harem was not too much, only a few times a month.
According to the rules of entering the imperial court, the time for the eighty-first imperial wife to accept Li Yuan's happiness is the first nine days and the last nine days of the month.
The queen, the third lady, the nine concubines, and the twenty-seventh wife were arranged in the middle for twelve days.
------
Harem concubines can only be canonized after giving birth to children, and now except for Wan's concubine, Mo Lifang has given birth to a prince, and the others have not yet given birth to a son and a half daughter, in fact, Li Yuan's existing concubines are basically among the eighty-one royal wives.
In this way, there is a situation that for nine days before and after each month, low-level concubines will not have the opportunity to be favored by Li Yuan; There are twelve days in the middle, but there are no high-grade concubines to arrange.
Because the seats of high-grade concubines were still vacant, the royal wife who had a way tried her best to occupy the middle twelve days to accept Li Yuan's favor. The royal wife, who had no way, waited for eighteen days at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month.
------
Now there is a new situation, the concubines that Li Yuan liked before are basically pregnant, and the Shang Dormitory Bureau needs to arrange new concubines to serve Li Yuan.
In this way, the harem concubines who had no chance to accept Li Yuan's luck before had a new opportunity.
The opportunity is rare, fleeting, and the harem concubines are ready to move one by one.
------
Li Yuan did not have too much purpose for the new arrangement of concubines who were fortunate to be in the palace, and as for which concubine to arrange for the palace, the decision was handed over to the Shang Sleep Bureau.
But after all, there are more monks and less porridge, and even if there are new opportunities, it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied.
The royal wife, who was unwilling to wait, tried to bribe the two Shang Sleepers and asked them to make an exception to arrange for them to accept Li Yuan's favor.
The bribery of the two Shang is becoming more and more intense, not only the twelve days in the month are used by the Shang Sleep Bureau for favoritism, but the eighteen days at the beginning and end of the month are no longer in accordance with the rules, and the order of entering the palace has been completely broken.
------
Yesterday was the eighth day of the new year, and according to the schedule, it should be the turn of the five royal wives of the Rainbow Temple.
Once a month, one of the five royal wives of the Caisi Courtyard is coming to the moon letter, one has been lucky, and the remaining three are all elated.
While it was still morning, the three qualified wives decided by throwing a dice which one would accept the Lord's blessing.
Cui Yunu had good luck and was lucky to get the opportunity to accept Li Yuan's luck at night.
------
With the opportunity to serve Li Yuan, Cui Yunu was very excited, and in the afternoon, she bathed and changed her clothes, carefully groomed, and the entire Caisi Courtyard burned incense and waited for the Lord Li Yuan to come at night.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, after the unitary, the people from the Shang Sleep Bureau came over and poured a basin of cold water on the people of the Caisi Academy, saying that the Lord had government affairs to handle, and the Harem of Linxing would not be arranged this night.
Cui Yunu fell from the clouds to the ground in an instant, and she rejoiced in vain.
-----
There is something to do with the lord, and she is no longer in the harem, and the princess Cui can only admit that she is upside down, and she can only wait for the next month.
But when they arrived, the people of Caisi Yuan heard that the royal car had arrived at the harem, and the sheng flute was bursting, and they preached all the way to the north.
As soon as people inquired, they found out that Li Yuan went to the Chengxiang Hall by foot.
------
On the day that the Shang Sleep Bureau said that Li Yuan would no longer be in the harem, the real situation was that the royal driver crossed the Caisi Courtyard and went to other places.
Cui Yunu knew in her heart that it was the Shang Dormitory Bureau who was playing favoritism and playing tricks from it, she was ashamed and angry, no longer paid attention to other people, and locked herself in the inner room.
The other four royal wives and palace maids knew that Cui Imperial Nu was unhappy, so they didn't go over to bother, but they didn't expect that in the morning, Cui Imperial Nu had committed suicide in the room.
-----
The palace people of Caisi Courtyard got up in the morning and saw that Cui Yunu didn't get up, so they didn't open the door no matter how they shouted. The eunuch in the courtyard slammed the door open, and Cui Yunu was already dead of anger and had no life.
On the case in the room, there is a plain note, and Cui Yunu wrote a palace grievance poem before throwing herself in.
"The first hope in the world, before entering the palace, hoping for the grace of the Holy Lord, he needs to bribe Shang to sleep."
The meaning of the poem says that she was born in the world's highest family Cui family, and entered the palace before she was fifteen years old. Born in a famous family, how glorious and arrogant, but if you want to get the Lord's blessing, you need to bribe Shang Sleep to achieve your goal.
The poem shows Cui Yunu's pride in being born in the world's highest family, and her grievances about not being favored by Emperor Li Yuan, as well as the accusation of favoritism and fraud in the palace.
------
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was an identity-based society, and the clans enjoyed high prestige and status in society.
Among all the noble families, there are five branches with the most noble status, namely the Boling Cui clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Longxi Li clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the Taiyuan Wang clan.
Among them, the Cui family and the Li family each have two county wangs, so they are called "five surnames and seven wangs".
------
There are many people surnamed Cui, and there are many talents, and there have been 29 prime ministers.
The Cui family is recognized as "the highest family in the world and the head of the wealthy families in the north". Even the imperial family is proud of its marriage with the Cui family.
Now there are two women surnamed Cui in the palace.
One is Cui Qiang, the daughter of Cui Mingan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, who has been favored by Li Yuan and is pregnant.
The other is this Cui Yunu, who is a distant niece of Cui Mingan.
------
Yuwen Lingxin finished telling Guanyin what she knew, and pleaded, "Please tell the princess Niangniang this matter to the concubine Niangniang as soon as possible, so as not to collude with the eunuchs of the Shangzhu Bureau and the Xi Guanju Bureau to understand this matter hastily."
Guanyin asked puzzledly, "The harem has a dead concubine, how can they fool the past like this?"
Yuwen Lingxin snorted softly and said, "There are thousands of women in the palace, how many people don't die in a month? It is impossible for the concubine to ask about everything, and the lord will not worry about such a trivial matter."
"If someone dies in the palace, the Xi Guanju only needs to remember the death of the disease, put it in a pine coffin, and find a place to bury it."
------
Guanyin asked in shock, "Is there a concubine of the grade who no one cares about when she dies?"
Yuwen Lingxin smiled coldly, "Although the women in this palace, although they are alive, most of the family members have already died as them."
"When they were sent to the palace, the family was trying their luck, and they were lucky to be favored by the Lord, and the whole family followed the chicken and dog to heaven. If you don't get the favor of the Lord, you should have no one in your house. In fact, nine out of ten women in the palace are helpless and miserable."
"The harem concubines who are not favored have to look at the faces of the female officials and eunuchs in the palace to live, and a royal maid who is not favored will not be seen by the Shang Sleep Bureau at all."
------
Guanyin was thinking about how to take this opportunity to help Concubine Wan Guifei tidy up the harem, but she said to Yuwen Lingxin lightly, "Since the death of a royal maid is not a big deal, what is the use of the concubine?"
Yuwen Lingxin wanted to try her best to arouse Guanyin's attention to this matter, and she suggested to Guanyin, "This matter can be big or small, maybe this is an opportunity to straighten out the harem."
Guanyin looked at Yuwen Lingxin with a smile, with a hint of inquiry on her face, "How can it be big or small?"
------
Yuwen Lingxin seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and she confidently replied to Guanyin, "If you want to make a big thing small, the princess and the concubine don't care, as long as the Xi Guanju reports to the Cui Imperial Girl's family about her illness and funeral, everything will be closed."
"If you want to make a big fuss, it's because this woman's surname is Cui, and she is a woman from a high family, and if you can let the Lord know, it will attract the attention of the Lord. In order to appease the Cui family, the Lord will give them an explanation."
"Besides, Cui Baolin, the daughter of Cui Shilang, is very favored by the lord, and the fact that Cui Yumai committed suicide will not be able to hide it sooner or later."
------
Guanyin listened to Yuwen Lingxin's reasonableness, which was very much in line with her own heart, she looked at Yuwen Lingxin with a smile, and pretended to be very confused and asked, "Yuwen Baolin is deeply loved by the Lord, and now that he has a body, why is he so concerned about straightening out the harem?"
Yuwen Lingxin is a smart and intelligent person, and she understands that Guanyin needs to figure out her motives before making a decision. So, they met each other frankly and said angrily, "Today, I will return the truth to the princess, and the concubine also hates the bad rules of the harem."
"In the past, when the concubine was snubbed by the lord, the Shang Sleeping Bureau humiliated the concubine many times."
"At that time, the concubine also had the desire to die, but after thinking about it, she was finally unwilling, so she took the risk of entrusting Chai Shanggong and asked the princess for help. For the two monks in the harem, if you don't get rid of them, the concubine will not be able to resolve the hatred in her heart."
------
Yuwen Lingxin finished saying the thoughts in her heart in one go, and it was clear that she wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Shang Meng who had humiliated her, and hoped that Guanyin and Wan Guifei would punish them to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Guanyin admonished Yuwen Lingxin, "The most taboo fight in the harem, Yuwen Baolin had better not have resentment. Now that you are pregnant, peace of mind is the blessing of your mother and son."
