Chapter Fifty-Eight: 'The Joy of Making Tiles'

Xianyang Harem.

Yao Meiren Mansion.

Today's Yao Meiren Mansion is particularly lively, in order to celebrate the Qin royal family's 'joy of making tiles', the entire mansion is full of lanterns and feasting guests.

"The Joy of Making Tile" comes from "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya Sigan": It is a woman, a place to sleep, a cloth to wear, and a tile to carry

In simple terms.

It is the happy event of the birth of a girl in the family.

In ancient times, the birth of a girl would not have been celebrated with such fanfare, even if it was the royal family, and the world envied the magnificence of the palace, but as everyone knows, many times, it is not much different from the market.

Even where too many women gather, the fight may be even more terrifying.

In the harem.

If a concubine gives birth to a boy, it will attract the jealousy and hatred of others, and if she hates that the child gives birth to a boy, she will take away part of her own child's status in the future.

If a concubine gives birth to a girl, although it will not pose a threat to the status of a concubine with a boy, it will secretly attract ridicule and contempt from others.

Hate people, laugh at people, suspect people poor, and fear people to be rich.

This kind of thing seems to be the same everywhere.

So in the past, if there was a concubine in the harem of Xianyang who gave birth to a daughter, most of them were in accordance with etiquette, simply celebrated within the royal family, and then announced the ministers and announced the birth of the princess.

But this time it was different.

As early as two years ago, when Mo Jun had just been 'crowned king', Ying Zheng had already ordered that the next born princess would be married to Mo Jun.

In the past two years, there have only been two pregnant princesses in Xianyang Palace.

Hu Meiren.

Yao Meiren.

Among them, Hu Meiren is still pregnant with Liujia.

On the contrary, Yao Meiren, who was originally expected to give birth in half a month, suddenly gave birth to a baby girl.

This is simply a 'gift package' that was sent to Yao Meiren out of thin air, after all, under the premise that the eldest son of the Qin State had already been born, and even now he has begun to 'supervise the country'.

All the sons born after this are basically destined to be unlikely to have the opportunity to get involved in that position in the future.

And even if there is, there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with Yao Meiren.

Because the power behind Yao Meiren is not enough to support his children to fight for that right.

Opposite.

Giving birth to a princess at this time is a great thing.

Who is Mojun?

This is the Great Qin Shengping Jun, the official worship of the Imperial Doctor, and the teacher of Fusu, the eldest son of the current Qin State, in the entire Qin State, Mo Jun is definitely one of the most trusted people of Qin Wang Yingzheng.

Young and promising, both financial and beautiful, whether it is status, fame, power, wealth······ Mo Jun already has them all.

It's not nice to say.

If any prince in Xianyang can get the support of Mojun, even if he fights for the throne, it is not impossible.

is such a person, but now he wants to become his uncle, of course Yao Meiren wants to celebrate with great fanfare and publicize this good thing.

The ceremony of the princess's birth of a daughter should have been controlled by Ying Zheng, but now Ying Zheng just happened to be out on the expedition, although Fusu had the right to 'supervise the country', but he was obviously not qualified to preside over such a thing.

Therefore, Yao Meiren's 'joy of making tiles' can only be presided over by the Empress Dowager Huayang.

In the past, the relationship between Yao Meiren and the Empress Dowager Huayang was not bad, but it was not intimate, if the daughter of an ordinary princess wanted to do so much, the Empress Dowager Huayang would not agree.

But this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang agreed.

The reason is simple.

The Empress Dowager Huayang can not give face to Yao Meiren, but he can't help but give face to Mojun.

After all, at this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang represents the face of the Qin royal family, and if she pulls her face with Mo Jun in this kind of matter, she will not only appear to be a child, but also attract the dissatisfaction of the Ying clan.

The Empress Dowager Huayang can play the emotional card with Ying Zheng with the identity of her grandmother, but in the face of the group of old men of the Ying clan, his identity as the Empress Dowager is not so easy to use.

"Hurry up, don't rub it in, the distinguished guest is about to arrive, this time the distinguished guest is different from the past, if you mess up, be careful of your head."

"There's the other one over there, go and sweep the door again."

"How's the preparation going over there? Go to someone to urge, the banquet must be served on time, and you must not miss the time. ”

In Yao Meiren's mansion, a chamberlain dressed in eunuch costume pinched his orchid fingers and was screaming as a group of young eunuchs and maids cleaned and tidyed up the courtyard.

Twenty or thirty subordinates were busy and did not stop for a moment.

At this time.

I heard a sharp shout suddenly coming from the door.

"Zhang Liangren has arrived."

Hearing the shouts coming from outside the door, the waiter who was still sweating profusely just now commanding everyone suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly whispered: "Hurry up, put down everything in your hands and retreat." ”

Many maids and small eunuchs hurriedly retreated, and the chief manager of Yao Meiren's Mansion first wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a fine handkerchief, and then quickly showed a smile on his face, and walked quickly to the gate to start welcoming guests.

At this time, a dignified woman wearing a green dress was standing at the door of Yao Meiren's mansion, and when she saw this person, Manager Qian immediately greeted her with a polite smile.

"The slave has seen Zhang Liangren, and the Liangren is polite."

"Mr. Qian is polite."

Zhang Liangren smiled politely, then took a gift from the chamberlain beside him, handed it to Manager Qian, and said, "I heard that Sister Yao is happy with the princess, and the concubine is very happy, so I came to congratulate me today." ”

"Zhang Liangren is polite, please come in quickly."

After Mr. Qian took the gift, he handed it to the subordinates on the side with a smile, and then bowed down and welcomed Zhang Liangren into the mansion.

And it didn't take long.

Several more people came to the front of the house, and the subordinates who greeted the guests outside the door shouted again.

"Li Bazi has arrived."

"Chen Liangren has arrived."

"Yang Liangren has arrived."

······

The largest person in the harem of the Qin State is the "queen".

However, Ying Zheng has not yet established the position of 'queen', and under the queen, all princesses are divided into seven ranks, namely:

Madame, beauty, beloved, eighth son, seventh son, long envoy, young envoy.

Yao Meiren's status in the harem in the past was neither high nor low, but today's banquet is special, so the princess who is qualified to be invited to come, the lowest rank is also the 'eighth son'.

Banquets are held in the royal palace, even in the order in which the guests visit, and generally speaking, the higher the status, the later the comes.

Therefore, most of the people who have just arrived are Bazi, Zhang Liang, and the first level of beauty.

There are many harems of Yingzheng.

However, in just two quarters of an hour, Yao Meiren's mansion was already full of warblers and swallows, so lively.

Until two quarters of an hour later.

Some heavyweights are just starting to enter one after another.

"The eldest son has arrived."

"Mrs. Zheng has arrived."
