Concubine Shu thought about it for a while, in the past, before she entered the palace, she was born in a Qingliu family in Jiangnan, and the young lady in the big family was naturally social, and she also had a few good handkerchiefs, but after she entered the palace, she had no contact.

Maybe one of them married to the northwest and came to visit? It's just that you just need to hand over the worship post directly, why do you need to take the path of the Zheng family, Concubine Shu was puzzled, she pondered for a while, looked at Zheng Xiuyu, and said slowly:

"I don't know who it is? For the sake of me, the Zheng family came to ask, but how to meet? Where to meet? And why? Zheng Gongzi may be able to solve a doubt or two."

"She claims to be the Tai Zhaoyuan in the palace, and the specific matters are not very clear, so you have to ask Niangniang in person.

Because she was accidentally seen by the Zheng family, she talked about the time when she met Niangniang in the past, Xiaosheng's family didn't know whether it was true or false, and whether it was a matter in the palace, so they hereby came to ask Niangniang, ask Niangniang to distinguish the true from the fake, and if there are any subsequent arrangements, the Zheng family will definitely follow Niangniang's wishes."

"Tai Zhao Yuan? Concubine Shu thought for a moment in her mind, and vaguely seemed to remember a figure, but she was a little uncertain, and asked with a little consideration:

"Mo is not Yu Zhaoyuan from Qinghe Palace, it's just that her mother's house seems to be in the area of northern Shaanxi, which is not very close to here, and I don't know the rest."

"What Niangniang said is very true, that person called himself Yu Zhaoyuan, and said that when Niangniang entered and left the palace, he had a friendship with Niangniang who lived in the same palace. Her words are conclusive, we can't perceive it, so we came to ask Niangniang, listen to what Niangniang said, it seems that what he said is not a lie, Niangniang wants to see her? Or maybe there's something else going on."

"Yu Zhaoyuan?"

Concubine Shu said softly, in fact, she and Yu Zhaoyuan did have a little acquaintance and friendship at the beginning, when she first entered the palace, her position was not very high at that time, and she was not qualified to live alone in a palace, so she could only live with Yu Zhaoyuan in Lijingxuan.

At that time, she was only a six-grade Baolin, and Yu Zhaoyuan entered the palace several drafts earlier than her, although she did not have any grace, but she was slowly promoted to Jieyu by virtue of her qualifications.

At that time, Yu Jieyu was the master of Lijingxuan, and Concubine Shu, who was still Baolin at that time, lived in the side hall of Lijingxuan where she lived.

At that time, she had a low status and was not qualified to meet those high-ranking concubines, and among the concubines who entered the palace at the same time, although her background was clear, there were many people who were taller than her, so Concubine Shu was not too conspicuous at that time.

At that time, Yu Jieyu was also quite gentle, and she never put on any posture of the main mother, and occasionally passed on some harem experience to her, and the concubine at that time was a little grateful, after all, she was a newcomer to the palace, and in the eyes of many people, she would definitely rob them of their favor, but Yu Jieyu was so generous.

Later, because her position rose quickly, Lijingxuan was a little remote, so Concubine Shu was assigned to a palace with a better location to live.

It's just that she still has a little bit of contact with Yu Jieyu in Lijingxuan, and later when the six palaces were sealed, she was promoted to concubine because she was favored and she gave birth to the prince, and Yu Jieyu was also canonized as Zhaoyuan, the second of the nine concubines, because she has always been friendly with her, and has always kept her duty.

At that time, the status of the two had changed, she was the concubine on top, and Yu Zhaoyuan was under her, but the other party didn't seem to show any unwillingness, and still greeted her very gently, and didn't show any other emotions.

Later, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, she was canonized as a concubine, and Yu Zhaoyuan was promoted to Taizhaoyuan, she stayed in the harem because she had a prince who could go with the prince, and Yu Zhaoyuan and others were because of the intercession of Queen Qi, and these harem concubines could go back to their mother's house.

And like Yu Zhaoyuan, whose mother's family is far away from Beijing, some will choose to be escorted, some will live in that unique courtyard in Beijing, and some can also stay in the palace if they want to stay in the palace, which can be said to be their choice.

It's just that there are not many specific concubines

Attention, because of one thing she occasionally found that her relationship with Yu Zhaoyuan was a little estranged, and after she became a concubine, she was even better with Concubine Rou, and Yu Zhaoyuan and they didn't get along.

Today's arrival of Yu Zhaoyuan, Concubine Shu felt that she had saved a little deliberately, she was a little jealous in her heart, although she didn't show it on her face, she still made up her mind, and invited Concubine Rou to come to the house to discuss it for a while, of course, she couldn't say that to Zheng Xiuyu, anyway, she always had to see Yu Zhaoyuan and see what the other party wanted, so Concubine Shu said with a smile to Zheng Xiuyu:

"Then there is the Lao Zheng family, when I choose a date, I will invite someone to come over to the house to negotiate, and at this time, I will bother the Zheng family to take good care of Yu Zhaoyuan."

"Yes!"

After Zheng Xiuyu asked An to leave, Concubine Shu hurriedly wrote a letter and instructed her aunt in charge to send it to Concubine Rou.

Now Concubine Rou lives with the Qi family, because they have decided to settle here, so they are not living in the inn, but bought a three-entry mansion, although it is not as luxurious as the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the decoration is very warm.

At this time, in the mansion, Concubine Rou was taking Qi Zhenzhen for a walk, and she was also talking about the things in the harem that she had heard and seen in the past.

At that time, Master Qi asked her to say that she wanted Qi Zhenzhen to be vigilant and not to be too naïve, but these days, Qi Zhenzhen is also really interested in these stories, she has always been a person who likes to listen to stories, and she has only seen some palace fighting dramas before, palace fighting and the like, but she didn't expect the real one to be so exciting.

Those favored concubines are favored today, and they will fall out of favor tomorrow, they feel that they have calculations in their hearts, and they have trade-offs in their hearts, and they seem to be competing for not favor, but a resource, a resource to climb up, and a representative of the family......

Qi Zhenzhen only felt that this could not be simply about love, but should see something more profound, and she was really interested.

I only heard Concubine Rou's graceful posture, walking like a beautiful demeanor, and listened to her gentle voice said: Chinese Net

"In fact, in the harem, everyone is competing for favor or favor, but you must know that there are countless beauties in this palace, they are either gorgeous, or elegant, or light, or small jasper, or everyone is beautiful, or like a lotus in the water, or like a scorching peach blossom, each has its own beauty.

They compete for beauty, after all, they are evenly divided, but there are very few solo shows, of course, there are some, but too much of a favor will inevitably attract the attention of the six palaces.

For example, there was a favored concubine before, she was born with a beautiful face, but her background was not high, but she was very arrogant, because she was beautiful and flamboyant, and she did not hesitate to be the enemy of the six palaces, but later after the death of the first emperor, the harem ladies either went with her, or stayed in the deep palace as a concubine, and only she was ordered to be martyred.

It is precisely because she was too ostentatious in the past, but she had no support behind her, neither a noble background, nor enough support to intercede for her, and her arrogance in the past made her a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people, and now she suddenly lost her past dignity, isn't it that everyone can trample on.

So in the harem, if you can't get eternal grace and don't have enough strong support, then you can only learn to forbear, don't make enemies everywhere, after all, thirty years, thirty years in Hedong and Hexi, I have heard a lot of favorite concubines enter the cold palace, and I have seen many humble people step by step into a high position.

So don't underestimate anyone, and don't be self-righteous and proud, you know? In fact, there are many smart people in the harem, for example, there is a category of people who are not favored, but they are not completely out of favor, but this favor is not worth others to deal with them.

And for them, they don't have to target others, they know how to protect themselves and make friends with everyone, but they never invest in any of them, although such people can't be promoted quickly, this is also considered to be steady, they can be promoted step by step, and she is indispensable every time she is sealed in the sixth palace. For example, there was a Jade Zhaoyuan during the period of the first emperor."

When this person was in advance, Concubine Rou pondered for a while, and when she met Qi Zhenzhen's somewhat puzzled gaze, she hurriedly spoke again:

"This is still what I listened to the concubine Niangniang, in fact, I listened to her tell many stories in the palace, after all, Your Majesty

I attach great importance to the queen's mother, and there are not many concubines on duty in the harem, not as good as the concubine Shu at that time, and there are many people in the draft, and there are many favored concubines, and there are many people who fall out of favor.

Later, when I was helping the queen to sort out some things in this palace, I had seen the records of the promotion of concubines at that time, including about Yu Zhaoyuan.

Yu Zhaoyuan is the concubine of a small official in northern Shaanxi, and this background is really not a noble in the harem, because her background is not very high, so in that canonization, she was only named a girl of the eighth grade.

Because there were many concubines in the harem at that time, in addition to the vacancies of the imperial concubine and the fourth concubine, the remaining concubines were really not few, among this group of people, Yu Zhaoyuan's appearance was not very outstanding, but how did she get favored?

That is to make friends with the concubines in the palace, there were three big seals of the six palaces, almost every time she can't fall behind, she is very good at befriending the favorite concubines, at the beginning it was Zhao Zhaorong who was favored, she befriended Zhao Zhaorong and was canonized as the sixth product Baolin.

It's just that Zhao Zhaorong was sent to the cold palace because she calculated the newly favored concubine, and many concubines fell out of favor, but she was not implicated, and she was not even considered to be Zhao Zhaorong's faction, which shows her scheming."
