Chapter 66: The Candidate for the Concubine
Heyi's family is also an official. Of the four beauties sent to the imperial tomb in the palace, only Yingyue was born as a slave. The two who wanted to leave before had more ways to go at home, and they thought about getting out early.
Heyi's family was not an official before.
Her father was an unpopular clerk in Jingzhao Mansion, and he didn't even have a rank, and her brother was just a soldier guarding the city gates. Later, by taking the door of the East Palace, she sent Heyi to the Imperial Mausoleum, and because of the relationship with Heyi, her father was promoted to the Jiupin Master, and her brother was also promoted to the official from the Jiupin City Gate.
The family finally has an official body, but in the capital where a brick can fall and hit a few nobles, this identity is really nothing.
But this real benefit is indeed because of the lotus clothes.
Originally, Heyi didn't come back from the imperial tomb, and the family didn't think much about it, but since she returned to Beijing with King Yue, the family's thoughts came alive again.
Sister-in-law Heyi nodded thoughtfully, "Sister, the news is true." Your brother got the news from the East Palace, saying that the emperor and queen have decided on all the candidates, in addition to one main concubine and two side concubines. The decree will be made soon! ”
Sister-in-law Heyi is anxious. Isn't this girl stupid?
The situation of King Yue is known to the world, originally he was in the imperial tomb, and the family did not say anything about Heyi's lack of progress. But now that the king of Yue has returned to Beijing, and Heyi has also accompanied him to endure hardships in the imperial mausoleum, why can't he fight for this sharing of joys and sorrows?
"Sister, look at your niece," Heyi's sister-in-law pushed her seven- or eight-year-old daughter in front of Heyi.
"In a few years, your niece will say goodbye, this is full of our family's identity in the capital, what kind of kiss can you give her?" But if her aunt had gained face in the Yue Wang's Mansion, the situation would naturally be very different.
The family also wants to experience the feeling of a chicken dog ascending to heaven.
He Yi was shocked by the news brought by her mother and sister-in-law. King Yue never expressed the idea of wanting to take over the house.
glanced at the niece with an ignorant face, remembered the attitude of King Yue at the beginning, and said to her mother: "Mother, I have made it very clear to you yesterday that King Yue has no intention of doing this. Since the palace has selected a good candidate, I am afraid that my status is not low, so I should not get involved. When the time comes, I beg the prince, point to an ordinary family, be a wife, isn't it better than this? ”
He Yiniang just wanted to dig out her daughter's head and see if it was paddle paste inside.
"You're not stupid! If there is no news of your father and brother, I will be left to you. But now that King Yue wants to marry the main concubine and the side concubine, why can't he accept you? After all, you are the one who has accompanied him to endure hardships in the imperial mausoleum, and a concubine can't get it? ”
She heard that there were only three people in the palace, and the number of concubines was undecided!
Isn't that supposed to be left for her family's lotus clothes?
If you go out and be a wife to others, even if you can give birth to ten or eight children, what is there! Can it be better than being the princess of Yue? Going out is more faced?
Her family's lotus clothes were just sent to serve King Yue, and his father and brother could benefit from this and be promoted to an official body, if this is to become King Yue's father-in-law and brother-in-law, how many levels must it be raised?
At that time, the family will also be a serious person with status in the capital, who will dare to look down on them, who will dare to yell at them?
The lotus lady and her sister-in-law are brainwashing on the lotus clothes. The family raised her once, and it was time for her to return home.
Sacrifice me, make a happy family, protect the whole family, and a bright day is just around the corner! How can it come from a lotus coat.
On the other hand, Yingyue is also in this situation.
The situation of Yingyue and Heyi is different. She was born as a slave, she was sold back and forth since she was a child, and it was later that she was selected to be sent to the imperial tomb, when the East Palace asked her what she wanted, she thought of her mother and a few sisters who were suffering at home, so she asked the East Palace to help take care of them.
As a result, Queen Shen arranged for her family to go to the Shen family as a person.
also heard the news, Yingyue's mother and Heyi's family came to the door.
They only came yesterday, and Heyi's family saw that they couldn't move Heyi, and when they went back, they got news from the palace, so they bewitched Yingyue's family to come together to persuade them.
Don't believe in the name of the concubine, they don't feel impressed.
Yingyue pursed her lips the whole time, only listening and not talking. Her mother and several younger sisters talked about all kinds of benefits, but they were silent.
She has been a slave and maid for people all these years, and she thought that she would have a hard time when she was sent to the imperial tomb, but she didn't expect that it would give her the most time to live.
As long as she listens to the orders of the king of Yue, she is free physically and mentally, and the king of Yue is also generous to his subordinates, and if the work is done well, the reward will be sufficient. She has already saved a generous reward, and she plans to ask the king of Yue to show her a family in the future, so that she can go out and be a good lady.
Even marrying the steward of the Yue Wangfu is also very good, and he can also be an errand in the Yue Wangfu.
Yingyueniang's mouth was dry, and when she saw that her daughter was silent, she sat aside and sulked. Yingyue's younger sisters took turns to persuade her, "Sister, I heard that the concubine is also on the royal jade, not the kind of concubine who can be beaten and killed in the family of high-ranking officials and nobles." ”
Yingyue's younger sisters are slaves and maids, and they are enough, so they think that they can be masters one day. Now that their sister has the opportunity to become the heroine of the palace, why should she refuse.
How nice it would be to replace them with them.
"Sister, as long as you are not a wife, someone will press you above, and you have to look at other people's faces all the time. My sister is still quite faceful by King Yue's side now, and whether she is pointed out to others as a lady in the future, or staying in the palace as a lady in charge, it is all excellent. When the time comes, I will be able to take care of you......"
Yingyue's mother was so angry that she had a headache, "You are a concubine, isn't it better to take care of your sisters?" ”
was assigned to marry by King Yue and pointed out to the steward of the house, what's the good! It's not about looking at the face of the master of the palace!
"Look at your mother and me, it's your father's head lady, but look at how your father treats your mother! What to do with you guys! If you don't say it, you will sell me and your sister! Yingyue's mother said and tears fell.
Did this daughter get stained with unclean things in the imperial tomb, so she had these confused thoughts.
Yingyue pursed her lips, "Mother, I will take care of you in the future." ”
"Are you stupid, are you stupid!" Yingyue's mother beat Yingyue, crying and scolding. Yingyue still hasn't changed her mind.
At the end of the day, the two sent their families away and stood at the door for a long time before turning around and entering the house.
"Yingyue, what do you think?" He Yi asked.
Yingyue sighed, "Concubine is not so easy to be. I think it's good to stay in the embroidery room. ”
He Yi was a little surprised and slightly stunned.
"What about you, Heyi?"
He Yi pursed her lips, "I don't know." My mind is in a mess. I'm not going back to the embroidery room, I'm going back to the room to rest first. ”
Yingyue watched her leave. I was about to raise my legs to go to the embroidery room, but after thinking about it, I turned around and went to the palace on the West Road.
When he arrived at the door, he said to the guard, "I'm looking for Master Sima." ”
