Shen Fu, the little maid dressed as an ordinary person in a rich family, bowed down respectfully: "I'm not sure Now the beauty is full of fear, so she asks her wife for advice from her maidservant. She never forgets! "
Behind the low embroidered scenes, two blue gauze lamps cast shadows.
On the low bed of glaze, Wei Changying leans on the hidden bag of the four wishful clouds embroidered tree peony, with long eyelashes slightly closed.
She scattered crow's long hair. A pair of emerald lotus hairpins with hairpins were put on the head of the couch. The lapel of the intermediate coat with the size of peony and flower bone is a little askew. The lapel of the broad sleeve of the lapel with eight treasures of yahuangdi wrapped in branches and lotus is only loose and covered with a thin quilt under the knee. A section of water colored skirt is drawn.
Lianju carefully held the golden basin to the side of the couch, and Lianmei pulled up her sleeves and twisted out her veil. Wei Changying takes it over and covers it on her face. After a while, she takes it off. It's white and tender as a girl's cheek. It's not a mask, but she's just sleeping.
Because the little waiter sent by beauty Li looked worried and said what kind of hurry she had now - servants thought something was wrong and woke her up in a hurry.
Therefore, Wei Changying was too late to make up. He directly sent someone to embroider the curtain, and called the waiter in to report.
But listening to this, I found that things were not as urgent as I thought - it was just urgent for beauty Li. Lianju and other maids who urged to wake up Wei Changying felt a little ashamed. In order to cover up the mistake, they began to serve Wei Changying to wash up, so as not to delay the time.
Wei Changying wiped his face and saw that the little maid's complaint was over, he said, "you mean, beauty Li doesn't know whether to give her children to the empress's mother or to the single princess?"
"That's what it is," said the waiter! Please give me some advice! "
Wei Changying could not help but say: "her children were not born Why bother with this first? "
"If I go back to my wife, yesterday a jade lady and a concubine Zhao went to visit the beauty and said about the palace rules."
The waiter wanted to explain the rules in detail, but Wei Changying knew the rules. When he was reminded of it, he thought, "yes, all the rules of our Dynasty follow the previous dynasty. In the former Wei Dynasty, concubines under Sanpin were not qualified to raise the emperor's heir The emperor's heirs can only be raised by three or more masters. "
"Now there are not many masters in the palace. What Yu Yu means is that Shan Guifei has just had a small fortune and may think about the beauty here." The waiter said cautiously, "Yu Jieyu and Zhao Bing remind the beauty that if they don't want to hand over the heir to Shan Guifei, then I can only ask the empress to support me! After all... "
After all, I didn't say what I said, but the master and servant behind the embroidery are very clear: Although Wen Yazi doesn't have a single favorite princess, it's not too much to say that she is the most beloved. Among the concubines in the palace who are entitled to raise the emperor's heirs, the queen doesn't need to talk about it. Only the imperial concubines, Deng Shuyu and Yu Jieyu --
"can Yu Jieyu and Zhao's concubines mention Deng Shuyu?" Wei Changying's heart turned and suddenly asked.
The waiter was stunned, and then said: "Yu Jieyu said that Princess Deng Shu, who lived in seclusion these two days, secretly called two times to see the doctor There is a rumor in the palace that the lady may have... "
If she is pregnant, of course, she will not raise Miss Li's children.
"Since Yu Jieyu is so attentive to remind the beauty, she doesn't know that she has the meaning of raising beauty Li?" Wei Changying takes the deep fragrance drink from Lian Ju, takes a sip and asks Wen Yan.
The waiter said: "Yu Jieyu said she didn't mean that, beauty Beauty is skeptical. But the beauty thinks that what she is carrying now is just a princess, which doesn't seem to attract Yu Jieyu to such a plan. "
"The point is not just that she's carrying a princess." Wei Changying gave the drink to Lian Ju and said lightly, "the point is that no matter single princess or Deng Shufei, or Yu Jieyu, they are still young! Your majesty is in his prime! Why do they have to raise the children of other concubines? Can't we wait for ourselves to live? "
The waiter was stunned, but he listened to Wei Changying continue to say, "Yu Jieyu and Zhao Di, they said this to Li Meimei, not necessarily with the intention of children, but with the intention of being in office!"
"Although I see some clues about it now, it's still better to think about it before I can give her the right words. You should go back and ask the beauty to have a baby in peace She doesn't need to be separated from her mother and son. "
After sending the waiter away, seeing that Wei Chang Ying frowned and said nothing, Lianju asked bravely, "madam, the single imperial concubine dotes on the sixth palace of the crown. Even if the rest of the people have dotes, they can't go too far. Therefore, Yu Jieyu made good friends with Zhao's concubines and Li Meimei and fought against the imperial concubines. If it's for the sake of position, why don't Yu and Zhao's concubines know? According to the previous news, the three of them did not see each other in this way. "
"Among his Majesty's concubines, beauty Li is not the lowest, but she is the lowest among the saints." Wei Changying rubbed his eyebrows and said, "do you know why?"
Lianju and Lianmei looked at each other, and whispered: "it's because Is beauty our family's offering? "
"That's why." Wei Changying said, "at the beginning, we also considered this, so we only sent a child into the palace. Otherwise, it's not a word to recognize the adoptive daughter, but send one in - the adoptive daughter of Duanmu family is a noble concubine, the adoptive daughter of Deng family is a lady, the adoptive daughter of our family To give a higher position, your majesty is not at ease, to give a lower position, our family has no face - Beauty Li is from a slave servant background, and it's nothing to give her a beauty position. ""But now..."
"Now that she is pregnant, Dayong follows the rules of the former Wei Dynasty. Without the position of Sanpin, she can't support her children. Now those who have this qualification, in addition to the queen, who dares to say that she can't be pregnant any more, even if she has only a small birth? " Wei Chang Ying shook his head slightly and said, "as for Empress Qiu, the empress herself has a son and a daughter of her own and raises the son of fan's concubine. I don't think the queen may be in the mood to raise another Princess - the princess Xian'an in front of the queen hasn't declined yet! The eldest prince is also far away in Fengzhou. How can this son of his own make a mother worry about her heart? Is there any leisure to raise a commoner girl again?
"In this way, the harem would like to let beauty Li raise her own children."
Lianju suddenly said: "the maid knows! The Hougong hoped that Li Meimei would be granted the title of "Jieyu" at least because of her birth. So you don't have to raise beauty Li's daughter! But because beauty Li was offered by our Shen family, your majesty Do not want to let beauty Li occupy too high a position - if she is granted the title of beauty Li in Jin Dynasty, she may also be granted the title of other people in Jin Dynasty, so as to avoid her complacency? "
Wei Changying said: "this is one reason, and another reason is that Miss Li is only from the fourth grade beauty now, which is two levels away from the third grade lady. Her pregnancy and childbirth are the reasons for her promotion. But what about Yu Jieyu and Zhao di? Your majesty doesn't want the concubines of our Shen family to be too high. It's tacit. But it's not easy to do this kind of thing too obviously. In that case, your majesty will be shameless. As a king, you are afraid of a minister. So far, your majesty will never want to give people such words. "
"What's the reason why yuyujie and Zhao's concubine persuaded Li Mei to give her children to the empress or the concubine? Is not afraid that beauty Li will turn to resent her when she knows the situation? " Lianmei was surprised.
Wei Changying said: "in the early days, the three of them made friends because Shan Guifei doted on them so much that they were afraid of fighting alone and would not be able to clean up the princess at any time. But this time, the imperial concubine suffered a great loss. It's said in the palace that it's the hand of the Queen - the imperial concubine Jinfeng, according to the rules, has been promised by the queen. "
"It turns out that they want to please the empress so that they can be promoted?" Lianmei is suddenly in a daze.
"But what kind of flattery are they to scare Miss Li?" Lianju asked.
Wei Changying said lightly: "it's not flattering. It depends on the situation. Before, empress Chou was in decline, and she was the head of the harem in name. In fact, the single imperial concubine did not pay attention to the empress because of her love. Even in the morning, she wanted to go, if she wanted to, she would not go! Since she was pregnant, she was obviously afraid of the Queen's murder! It's Princess Deng Shufei. It seems to be better than single princess, but it's also limited! Which one of Yu Jieyu and others, including beauty Li sent by our family, is really convinced by the queen? "
It's not all because the queen is not favored. In the final analysis, it's still related to her birth.
Princess Deng Shufei is the illegitimate daughter of the leader of Deng's family. Although she is not qualified to be included in the family tree of Deng, she actually has the blood of Deng's family, such as changing the blood of Shi. If it wasn't for the Deng family leader to recognize her and go back, he would not be sent to the palace to wait on the child. How could such a leader look up to empress Qiu from the bottom of his heart? Maybe Princess Deng even despised her son?
Shan Guifei, Yu Jieyu, and Li Meimei, even though some of them were born as servants, they grew up in everyone's family. All the rich and slaves, even many low-ranking officials without backstage have to flatter. What is the matter with ordinary people?
Empress Chou was born in the countryside. These concubines don't look down on her. In particular, the empress has a soft disposition. Even when she is in charge of the central palace, she has not given much color to the six palaces - so she is even more despised.
"Now the queen suddenly has a fierce hand, which means that she will wash the palace while her majesty is commanding the troops." Wei Changying said calmly, "it's their choice for Yu Jieyu and Zhao Bini to weigh their left and right, and they want to join in. As for why they want to say that to Li Meimei, they just want to help the empress! Do you think that beauty Li doesn't know whether to give her children to the queen or the single princess to raise them? What does this mean? "
"If it's handed over to a single princess, it's natural that she's still optimistic about her popularity. If it's for the queen, it's for the queen? " Lianmei and Lianju share the same voice.
Wei Changying smiles and shakes his head: "wrong, no matter who is to be raised, it's not up to beauty Li to be the master! It is only his majesty and queen who can be the Lord! "
She turned the jade bracelet on her wrist, looked at the direction of the Imperial Palace, and said, "the original intention of jade Jieyu and Zhao's concubines is to use beauty Li to enter the palace and remember our family's advice, never make trouble, never talk, and not be informed. First, scare beauty Li, and then coax her to go to the empress with her But Miss Li is not stupid either. She dare not inquire in the palace, and there is no one else to clean up. But there is our family outside the palace! "
Lian Mei couldn't help saying, "the maid said that Yu Jieyu and Zhao's concubines were bored. What's wrong with their friendship with beauty Li?"
"That's the heart of the people - to put it directly, it's like climbing up by beauty Li. Even if she agrees, they owe her love!" Wei Changying said lightly, "you know, they are all higher than beauty Li! Even though my sister and sister usually shout, don't you really care about your position? Let them take the initiative to owe Miss Li love, how can they be reconciled? Moreover, it's better for Li Meimei to turn around. She'd better prefer to have a single concubine. Only when they persuade Li Meimei to go to the queen can they show their credit! Maybe I can get a good place in front of Miss Li! "
