Chapter 178: The backbone of the young ladies

Concubine Zhuang's voice happened to be heard by the ladies sitting in the front rows, and Feng Zhirong looked at the object that Concubine Zhuang was talking about, that is, Wan Yuanzhen, the niece of the current emperor's wife, and sure enough, she caught her expression faintly moving.

Today, Daye knows that the emperor's Yuan distribution wife, Wan Ruoniang, is not a powerful person, but because she was born in a local family and has a good education, she climbed into the imperial family under the careful arrangement of the family, and later became the crown princess because the person she married was made the crown prince.

At that time, Wan Ruoniang - and even Wanjia's momentum could climb to the peak!

But this hard-won glory only lasted for more than ten years, and the dignified princess was moved to the wife of Wei Shu, and a few months later became the most crowded princess Miao in the imperial city - such turmoil made Wan Ruoniang, a well-loved and pampered lady, unbearable, and finally only been a princess for more than half a year before she died, leaving only a pair of children.

And the family affairs that the family members who were planning to climb to the royal family at the beginning have changed from a beautiful event that glorifies the family to a tragedy that has brought the family to near ruin.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, although he also took pity on his Yuan wife and posthumously named him the Empress Gongjing, after all, at that time, Yuan Pei's wife and her family not only did not become his help, but dragged down many of his strongholds and people, so for the sake of comforting his deceased subordinates and even brothers, he did not pay additional benefits to the Wan family.

And the current queen Zhong Yunyi was born in the family of the Weihan eunuch, which is equivalent to having no family protection, and when the life of the current emperor is like a candle in the wind, she uses her own wrist to remove obstacles for her husband one by one, help him regain his position as the crown prince, and even boldly argue with the emperor before the death of the first emperor, and force the palace with the king of Qi, so that the current emperor can seize the regency from his unseemly father.

Under the light of the current empress, the emperor's Yuan wife is also eclipsed, and even the poor story of her death in the palace of King Miao is hardly sentimental.

Wan Yuan was really born in the declining Wanjia family, and once again became a relative of the royal family, and the discerning person can know that it is another bet of the Wanjia family - gambling on the emperor's friendship with Yuan's wife, and gambling on the glory that the Wanjia may bloom again.

At present, Concubine Zhuang mentioned Wan Yuanzhen, and she also implied that Concubine Shun was ambitious and wanted to be stained with the light of the emperor's wife--to cooperate with the Wan family and find a good road for her son.

Concubine Shun listened to Concubine Zhuang mention this stubble, and she didn't see any special expression, but said: "My sister is reasonable, those of us who are concubines will always want to touch the light of our main wife, and touch the blessings that we have not been able to get in our cultivation for a lifetime. ”

The corners of Concubine Zhuang's mouth hooked slightly: "It's a pity that the first queen is a blessed person, and I think that the blessings that the first queen has not yet enjoyed may also be inherited to the descendants of the heirs!" The meaning of Concubine Zhuang's words is very deep, and no one knows what she is saying that Concubine Shun's scheming will also come to naught like the former queen before she can enjoy the true glory, or is there something else?

Concubine Shun's eyebrows raised, but she didn't say anything, but Hong Jieyu took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty is a person who misses the old, and she is also grateful for her former wife, look at the Sheng King from the first queen was given an extra title by His Majesty, and even Princess Lanyue is reluctant to marry far away!" ”

Liu Zhaorong's position is not high, and he couldn't interject between the two concubines, but Hong Jieyu opened her mouth like this, and she smoothly took over the conversation and said: "That is also King Sheng's heart, thinking of His Majesty and Daye in his heart, so he put down his noble status to learn from the courtiers and work for Daye selflessly." Not to mention that His Majesty is a person who loves children, King Sheng is also very hard-working. ”

Liu Zhaorong's meaning is actually very simple, that is, if he doesn't work hard, only has selfishness and ambition, he still can't be favored by the emperor.

Concubine Shun snorted softly, and didn't want to deal with Liu Zhaorong, but shifted her gaze to the daughters of the Anxiu Palace: "Today is the winter, and the year will pass soon, and most of the young ladies in Anxiu Palace are also going to get married, which can remind the palace of the ...... back then."

Concubine Zhuang's eyes flashed, and she didn't speak.

Seeing this, Hong Jieyu hurriedly asked Concubine Shun to continue: "Sister, what do you remember? ”

Concubine Shun glanced at Hong Jieyu and continued: "I remembered the first time I spent the winter solstice in the palace, I was not familiar with anything, and I was walking on thin ice...... But now these little girls are really blessed, and there is still a place to study in Anxiu Palace......"

Concubine Shun said, and finally stood up and raised her glass and said: "It has been nearly a hundred years since the grace of the Yuan Holy Empress back then, I hope you can abide by your duties and study hard, and don't insult the royal teachings." ”

When the ladies in the audience saw Concubine Shun standing up, they also raised their wine glasses in front of their foreheads and said, "Thank you Concubine Shun for teaching." ”

Concubine Shun seemed to enjoy such praise, so she also hooked the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "God has given good weather today, and it can be warm outside, so it is better to go to the garden in the north and see the snow scene." ”

Concubine Zhuang didn't have any opinion on Concubine Shun's proposal, her sharp phoenix eyes swept all the ladies under the stage, and said calmly: "The garden of Anxiu Palace in winter is good, the Sun-Reflecting Pool in the west and the Huiyue Pool in the east are obviously connected, but only the Sun-Reflecting Pool will freeze, which is interesting." ”

Liu Zhaorong also said: "My sister has never seen such a scene in winter, and today is really blessed by my sisters." ”

"It's the ingenuity of the craftsmen! How can it be called a blessing? Concubine Shun hooked the corners of her mouth and sarcastically said that Liu Zhaorong had no knowledge. He put his hand on the personal palace maid who was waiting on the side and walked a few steps elegantly, and then looked left and right, and didn't know what he was looking for, and the jewelry on his body swayed and flickered, which can be said to be very dazzling.

Feng Zhirong twitched the corners of her mouth secretly, the light almost pierced her eyes, and she muttered in her heart that Concubine Shun loved to show off, so she lowered her head to avoid Concubine Shun's edge.

Concubine Shun and Concubine Zhuang led Hong Jieyu and Liu Zhaorong behind, two left and two right, and slowly walked out of the north hall of Anxiu Palace. And the ladies in Anxiu Palace looked at each other, and finally Zhao Mingyun and Wan Yuan Zhen stood up together and led the other ladies out of the north hall.

Although Feng Zhirong saw such a scene for the first time, she heard the-for-tat confrontation between Concubine Shun and Concubine Zhuang, and she also had a plan in her heart.

Zhao Mingyun is Concubine Zhuang's future daughter-in-law, Wan Yuan Zhen is Concubine Shun's future daughter-in-law, and the status of the two in Anxiu Palace is not low. Although the two usually do not compete with each other on the surface, they have always been low-key and have become the backbone of the ladies in Anxiu Palace because of their status.
