Chapter 102 102 A good story is also a good story.
Wang's words made Xianyu feel a little embarrassed.
But it also gave me a better impression of her.
After all, this distant aunt could say such things, which definitely meant that she didn't consider Xianyu as an outsider. And from the fact that she was able to deal with Concubine De and get Concubine De to invite Xianyu back for a chat, it also shows that her upward management ability is very good.
She is worthy of being the woman who gave birth to three princes after entering the palace. What's more, she is a pure-blooded Han concubine, which is even more amazing.
Although this had a lot to do with the fact that Master Kang began to like the gentle and beautiful Han concubines after middle age, among the many Han concubines who entered the palace at the same time, only Wang was able to give birth to children in succession.
This shows that she is very extraordinary and has outstanding abilities in all aspects.
Especially, her youngest son, the Eighteenth Prince, was a person who could stir up bloody storm. Although he only lived to be eight years old, he directly dethroned the Crown Prince... I just want to ask you if it's scary or not, this mother and son are really more terrifying than each other.
Xianyu chatted with the royal concubine for a few words and soon relaxed. From this, it can be seen that the royal concubine does have the ability to make people feel like spring breeze and is very easy to win people's favor.
Therefore, she also set the record for being able to listen to Xianyu's inner thoughts the fastest when they first met - in less than half a cup of tea, she successfully heard Xianyu's inner thoughts.
However, this was not a good thing for her. It can be said that she was almost scared to death when she first saw it.
Mainly, Xianyu was talking about bad news about her Eighteenth Prince - first of all, she didn't even have an Eighteenth Prince at the moment?
This year is the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The eighteenth prince was born in the 40th year, so there are still six years before he is born. Even the seventeenth prince has not been born yet - his mother has just entered the palace and is still a concubine. There are still two years before the prince of this period is born.
So, if you talk to Concubine Wang about the Eighteenth Prince now, she will definitely be confused.
Wangpin thought that she only had two princes, the fifteenth and the sixteenth. One was only three years old, and the other was born in July this year and just passed the full month. So, would she have another prince in the future, the eighteenth prince?
Oh my god!
This is too scary!
Is it possible not to have children?
Giving birth to two children in a row is already tragic, okay...
Wang Pin, who suffered greatly from continuous childbirth, said that she really couldn't give birth anymore.
Because she gave birth to the fifteenth and sixteenth princes, she had basically been tied to her own small side hall for at least three years.
This is also the main reason why she has not met the Wang family, especially Xianyu, even though the Wang family has been in Beijing for so long.
She really couldn't leave.
Think about it, this princess is only in her early twenties now, but she has experienced more than many people in their entire lives.
At the beginning, she entered the palace, but was not favored immediately, and had no status at all - after all, Han concubines like them did not enter the palace through the formal selection of the Eight Banners. If they were not favored, they would not even be considered concubines, but at most an official girl.
For example, this concubine Wang was actually a "beauty" presented to Master Kang by local officials when he passed through Jiangnan during his last southern tour.
Because she came to him too easily, Master Kang basically didn't take it seriously. For a long time, he even didn't know she existed. Don't ask why he favored her right after he got her. Master Kang is not that impatient, right?
Those who sleep with something as soon as they get it are probably those who have not seen the world. Of course, the most important reason is that they cannot control themselves.
If someone doesn't even have this kind of self-control, let alone capturing Oboi, reducing the Three Feudatories, and attacking the Dzungars, it would be hard for him to even get on the bed, let alone a bicycle...
Therefore, although the local officials presented him with gifts, Master Kang did not accept them all. In order to prevent them from competing with each other and causing harm to the local people, he also issued an imperial decree, prohibiting the local officials from presenting beauties to the southern tour team, including himself, in the name of "welcoming the emperor"...
Well, the discipline is quite strict, but I don't know how effective the enforcement is. Anyway, any girl who is good-looking and doesn't want to marry into a rich and powerful family will avoid it early.
This was obviously not the case with Concubine Wang.
Because Xianyu was destined to marry into the royal family, the old lady of the Wang family had briefly mentioned Concubine Wang to her before. This Concubine Wang actually had little relationship with their Wang family. She was a girl from a branch of a branch of the Wang family. In terms of blood relationship, she was basically within five generations.
However, since she has established herself and is willing to acknowledge the Wang family as her leader, there is no reason for her not to accept the challenge.
This matter is actually quite strange, because saying this itself means that there is a bit of inequality in status between the two sides, and it actually means that Concubine Wang is marrying above her station in the Wang family.
Speaking of it, Wang Pin's life story is quite pitiful. Her biological mother was divorced and sent home not long after she was born. It was said that it was because of "jealousy". In fact, she just didn't agree to let her father take a concubine... Although, to a modern person like Xianyu, this is the most normal thing. Love and marriage should be exclusive.
Unfortunately, this happened in ancient times, so Wang Pin's mother, who insisted on thinking this way, was divorced because she was "jealous" and committed one of the "Seven Reasons for Divorce."
The biological mother was divorced and returned to her parents' home, but Wang Pin had to stay with her biological father. But because she was a girl, her life at her biological father's place was also very difficult.
Because her biological father remarried soon, the new stepmother was a ruthless character. As soon as she arrived, she disliked Wang Pin, the eldest daughter left by the previous wife.
Although Wangpin repeatedly gave in and behaved cautiously, her beauty still made her the envy of her stepmother and stepsisters for more than ten years. It was said that they even planned to marry her to a fifty-year-old violent old man as a concubine...
The old man was not only old and had a bad temper, he was also a domestic abuser - it was said that his previous wives were beaten to death by him, and then he spent a lot of money to marry a young and beautiful new wife. If a girl married him, it was obvious that what was waiting for her was a hellish fire pit.
But Wangpin's stepmother didn't care about that. Wangpin's bad marriage was exactly what she wanted. And Wangpin's biological father was also a man of no mercy. As long as the other party gave enough betrothal gifts, he didn't care about the life or death of his firstborn daughter.
In the end, Wangpin had no choice but to bite her teeth and earn a way out for herself, and took the initiative to enter the palace. After all, even if she was offered to a 40-year-old emperor, it was better than marrying a 50-year-old domestic violence man as a concubine.
As it turned out, she made the right bet.
Master Kang was not the kind of man who was impatient for sex and did not take her halfway. Instead, he brought her into the palace, settled her down, and only allowed her to receive his favor after a year or two.
Firstly, she was only thirteen or fourteen at the time, so she was too young. Secondly, Master Kang was too busy in those two years and had no time to visit the harem. After all, Master Kang was a well-known maniac who traveled a lot. He was out for at least seven or eight months a year, or even ten months. Visiting the harem? It was impossible. He simply didn't have the time.
However, when he stayed in the capital, he would still visit his concubines, so Concubine Wang came into his sight.
After being nurtured by the Feng Shui of the Forbidden City for more than two years, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Wang Pin has completely grown up and become more and more beautiful and charming, which makes Master Kang unable to stop.
So Wangpin's favor became unstoppable from the beginning, and she soon became pregnant and gave birth to the fifteenth prince. Just after the fifteenth prince turned one, she became pregnant with the sixteenth prince, which was a seamless transition.
It was not until she gave birth to the sixteenth prince and survived the confinement period that she felt a little relieved. Also, because she gave birth to two princes in succession, Master Kang casually gave her the title of concubine and made her live in a side hall of the Yonghe Palace of Concubine De. She was considered to have completely made it.
With two princes by her side and having worked under superiors of the level of Master Kang and Concubine De for a few years, Concubine Wang's vision and perspective have been greatly improved.
The connection with the Wang family also happened during this period of time. If this kind of "returning to one's roots" was done by someone in a high position, it would be a good story. Otherwise, it would be a joke.
Wangpin was definitely not a joke. In fact, she was able to transform from a little Han woman into a Han concubine who gave birth to two princes in succession. She was definitely not a simple person. So, when the old lady of the Wang family mentioned her, she was full of praise. That was the true mutual respect between strong people.
Because of this, Xianyu had a preconceived impression of Wang Pin and thought that this girl was really amazing.
When I met her in person, this idea became even more profound - she is so amazing, she started with a great momentum and then played a big trick, I really admire her.
However, although Concubine Wang had been in contact with the Wang family for a long time, she had never met them formally because she could not get away.
If Xianyu had not happened to participate in this selection and was chosen to be married to the Fourth Prince, Wangpin would still not have had the chance to meet her.
Speaking of which, we have to thank Concubine De. It's rare that she is willing to take the lead in this matter. I guess she did it for the Fourth Prince's sake.
While chatting with Xianyu, Wang Pin generously shared with her some information that might be useful to her - even including how to deal with men... She really didn't treat Xianyu as an outsider.
Although Xianyu felt that she might never use many of the things shared by this concubine, she could not deny that she was really sincere.
So, Xianyu also gave her some small rewards.
[Princess Wang was such a good person. Unfortunately, her Eighteenth Prince did not survive... Such a cute and smart child died of illness just because he followed Master Kang to the frontier...]
[Although this may have brought down the crown prince, the price was too high. ]
[It is estimated that neither the princess nor Master Kang himself wanted to see such a tragedy happen - it is only a matter of time before the crown prince is deposed, so there is no need to bring an eighteenth prince into the picture with him, right? ]
[So, the medical center has to be built quickly. In addition, Master Kang can go on tours if he wants to, and can bring his son with him if he wants to, but can he bring several adult sons? At least they have to be over 13 or 14 years old, right? Bringing a seven or eight-year-old child to a bitter and cold place outside the Great Wall, you are afraid that he will die slowly! ]
