After many twists and turns, I didn’t expect that Xue’s cousin would eventually enter the palace.
When she found out, Wang Xifeng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She simply didn't dare to think about the consequences if her aunt from the East Mansion knew.
"Second Madam, you are pregnant."
Ping'er became anxious.
Grandma Zhen and Grandma Zhu both had children. Their grandmothers were always poor at one step and kept mourning for more than a year. The other people's children had already run away, but their grandmothers got pregnant.
Both the wife and the second master treasure her very much.
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's the Xue family's business, we won't care about it anymore."
What relatives? It's a pit.
“You don’t understand…”
Wang Xifeng was very sad.
She no longer had a mother's home when the Jia and Wang families fell out.
Although she has always been neither too close nor too distant to the Xue family, she also wants to cultivate them and become half of their mother's family.
"Whether you understand or not, the eldest lady of the East Mansion..."
"I'll make amends right away!"
Wang Xifeng felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, but if she didn't apologize quickly, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
Because the person who is having the hardest time right now should be my aunt-in-law.
She goes into the palace from time to time. How will she face the queen who is like a sister to her in the future?
When my uncle sent my cousin from the Xue family into the palace, it was impossible that he was going after a palace maid or a female official.
Whether it is the Wang family or the Xue family, what they want is the position of the emperor's concubine.
It’s the same with that cousin…
As Wang Xifeng walked towards the East Palace, she thought carefully about Xue Baochai's behavior all along, and suddenly realized that she might be the person most like her uncle Wang Ziteng.
No, you must plan ahead.
She often read the palace bulletins and had received many rewards from the Queen, so she admired the Queen from the bottom of her heart.
"...Are you here because of the girl from the Xue family?"
Seeing Wang Xifeng's pale face, she was about to kneel down to her, Shen Ning hurriedly supported her, "I already know everything about this matter, don't worry, it has nothing to do with you."
"But Aunt~"
“…”
Shen Ning patted Wang Xifeng's hand soothingly and said with a smile: "Is the palace a place that lacks beauties?"
She did not deny that Baochai was very outstanding and beautiful, but how old was she?
Which of the methods she can use has not been used by those old foxes in the palace, Concubine Zhen?
In the court today, no one can compete with the emperor, so why doesn't he recruit more concubines? Isn't it because he was scared when he was a child?
After finally getting married, he lived a peaceful life outside the palace for a few years. Then, good fortune struck and he entered the palace again.
But in order to catch this great fortune, how much anger did he and the queen have to endure from Concubine Zhen? How poor were they? The emperor was still working hard to govern the country. Not to mention that she had already told the queen about what happened after Baochai entered the palace, even if she didn't tell her...
The current emperor is far from being so foolish that he can be easily seduced by any woman.
"As long as the emperor wants, there will be countless girls like the eldest daughter of the Xue family entering the palace."
This cannot be stopped.
How many emperors who were wise and powerful in their youth turned into old beasts when they got old? "Wait, entering the palace... does not mean being favored."
Shen Ning comforted Wang Xifeng and watched her leave. Then he picked up the pen and started writing "Tianlong Babu" based on the impression in his mind.
The reason I chose this book is that it has so much that is unsatisfactory.
The goal that Murong Fu pursued all his life was what Duan Yu got when he was born. And Wang Yuyan, whom Duan Yu pursued for most of his life, was something Murong Fu could easily have.
How many people did Ding Chunqiu kill? Xu Zhu easily got the martial arts secrets that he dreamed of. Xu Zhu only wanted to stay in Shaolin Temple to practice, but in the end he could not go back, while Ding Chunqiu, who had committed evil all his life, could stay in Buddhism to end his life.
Qiao Feng hated the Khitans, but in the end he found out that he was a Khitan. He wanted to protect the country and the Song Dynasty all his life, but in the end there was no place for him in the Song Dynasty...
Oh, life! What can torture us is always the things we care too much about. If we don’t care anymore, what can God do to us?
As the saying goes, the sun sets over the mountains and seas, and the mountains and seas hide deep meanings!
Shen Ning picked up the pen and wrote a page with great enthusiasm.
…
Baochai finally entered the palace as a minor candidate.
In the past two years, many people have left the palace, so naturally more people have entered the palace.
However, the emperor and empress enjoyed it very much.
In fact, they discovered that girls from poor families who entered the palace would one day leave.
But if you are really sold to a wealthy family, you will be a slave for life.
On the contrary, in the palace, although the food is not good, at least you can eat enough and won’t be frozen.
You can learn some rules and regulations in the palace, and recognize a few words. If you are lucky, you can follow the older maids to take care of flowers and plants, or even learn embroidery, making pastries, etc., so you will always have a job after leaving the palace.
If you are luckier and more talented, and study for a few more years, you can become a female official and receive a salary from the court.
Both of them felt that this was a good deed.
It's very exciting to work on it.
The emperor naturally knew what Wang Ziteng meant. However, before he told the queen, the queen told him that she wanted to find a few people who were good at arithmetic to take charge of the caravan's accounts, and she would be the first to pick the people this time.
When the emperor learned that the empress had accurately chosen Xue Baochai, and after testing her, she liked her so much that she promoted her to be a female historian, he could only sigh.
oops!
A gentleman does not take away what others love.
He couldn't possibly compete with his own queen for someone else, could he? The queen was also doing something important.
In a blink of an eye, he dropped his hand.
Several months had passed by the time Wang Ziteng and Aunt Xue found out that Baochai was not by the emperor's side by accident, but had become the queen's historian.
What could they do? Aunt Xue asked her brother for help with tears in her eyes.
However, Wang Ziteng, who had been promoted to Duke of Anguo, had just been severely reported for molesting women of decent families and gathering people to gamble with him because of his younger brother Wang Zisheng and his nephew Wang Ren. He was then sent back home by the emperor to reflect on his mistakes and educate his sons and nephews.
How could he dare to go to the emperor and empress again because of Xue Baochai? "It's not that my brother doesn't want to help."
Wang Ziteng knew that his younger brother and nephew were restless and thought that they would just play at home. However, he didn't expect that because of his promotion, the two of them simply let themselves go in the villa.
Not only did he abduct several decent women, he also took many sons of noble families and turned games such as cockfighting and pitching pots into gambling.
In the court, when he heard the censor's impeachment and Dong Xiaoquan of Shuntian Prefecture also came out to testify, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
These two idiots didn't even bother to inform him first when something happened.
Report him as soon as possible, it would be better if he apologizes first!
Now, the emperor sent him back home.
Wang Ziteng actually knew that the emperor didn't want to raise any more people like the four kings and eight dukes.
Being granted the title of Duke was a reward for his contributions, but if he wanted more, it would be completely impossible.
The matter between brothers and nephews was just an introduction.
It's just that people always have a bit of a sense of luck.
He felt that without this introduction, he could still stand firmly in the court, and might even return to the Beijing camp.
pity……
Having lost his opportunity, he went home and beat his brother and nephew with a stick.
But after beating them up, he felt very bad because he was so angry and heartbroken.
I haven't slept well for several days and my headache is splitting.
Wang Ziteng rubbed his forehead and sighed to Aunt Xue, "It's Baochai's business. I'm afraid it has something to do with Madam Shen of Ningguo Mansion."
What? Aunt Xue was shocked and angry, "Brother, then you can't ignore Baochai anymore."
She cried, shedding a lot of tears. "The reason why Feng Yatou drove us out of the house last time was mainly because I spread the word 'Baochai's gold lock must be matched with jade'. Because of her friendship with the Queen, the two Jia families have probably been preventing Baochai from entering the palace!"
That vicious woman!
"My sister told me at the beginning that Yuanchun had a chance in the palace, but she brought Yuanchun back in order to suppress the second branch."
Aunt Xue pulled Wang Ziteng's sleeve and said, "Now she is bullying our Baochai again. Brother, if you don't save our Baochai, how will she live with the Queen?"
How could the queen spare such a pretty girl with powerful relatives? On the surface, she was sent to be a female historian, but in fact, she didn't know how her daughter would be tortured.
Aunt Xue really regretted it.
She didn't expect that Shen would really be so fussy about it with her daughter.
My daughter has been studying in Ningguo Mansion for a few years, and she has taken care of her! If my daughter is favored in the palace, won’t the Jia family also benefit from it? The Queen is not young after all.
Men love novelty. Instead of letting others snatch the emperor away, why can't they support their daughters to take the throne? With their relationship, the daughter can also help the queen to consolidate her favor!
"Brother~~~"
"It's not that Big Brother doesn't want to help."
Wang Ziteng's headache became worse. "But I am an outsider after all. How can I reach out to the harem? Your sister-in-law can't easily enter the palace. Instead of begging me here, you might as well go to Ningguo Mansion and beg Shen.
Explain to her the pros and cons of this.
If we can get the Queen to support Baochai, everyone will be happy."
This is truly a win-win situation.
It all depends on whether Shen accepts it.
Anyway, he would definitely answer it if it were him.
"The Emperor is now in his prime, and has not yet appointed a crown prince. If Baochai can become a favorite concubine and help the Empress persuade him... and find someone else in the court to help, nothing will be impossible?"
This? It's a good idea, but if I really help the queen's son, then her future grandson...
Wang Ziteng could see his sister's hesitation. He sighed in his heart and said in a low voice, "Didn't you hear what I said before? The emperor is now in his prime. Do you know what this means? If you don't know, then I will tell you that since ancient times, few princes have been able to succeed to the throne smoothly."
Judging from the emperor's appearance, he is also a man who is good at taking care of himself.
The emperor, with his sickly body, could still live to this day, let alone him.
"Our problem now is how to help Baochai get to the emperor's side."
Yes, yes, she was confused for a moment.
Aunt Xue, who had learned the trick, really went to Ningguo Mansion and asked to see Shen Ning.
"not see!"
The spring weather is just right.
Shen Ning's desk has been moved to Tianxiang Tower.
She was writing some articles here, looking at the sky, and then gazing at the bustling world in the back street. Memories and inspiration were bursting out.
Shen Ning continued writing her own work without even raising her head, "Just say I'm busy right now."
When visiting someone's home, shouldn't you first send a letter and ask if the host has time? As a lady of the first rank, can anyone see her? When watching Red Mansions, Shen Ning also disliked Aunt Xue.
This woman has a hidden tendency to favor boys over girls.
He only knew how to dote on Xue Pan.
There is no discipline at all.
If Xue Pan had been a little disciplined and had some sincerity towards his mother and sister, he would never have gone to that extent. Moreover, on the surface, she seemed to love Baochai very much, but in fact, Baochai was a tool in her hands to seek benefits for the family and her son.
"Even if you come again, you will refuse me all the requests."
In the Red Mansion, Daiyu once followed Baochai and called her mother, but when she tried to seize Daiyu's marriage, she was ruthless.
Chen Ning's dislike for her was only slightly less than that for Madam Wang.
"yes!"
Xiaonan looked at Xiaodong with envy as he was grinding ink and reading a book, then turned around and chased him away.
Sure enough, Aunt Xue couldn't be driven away easily.
Since she couldn't enter the mansion here, she simply moved to Rongguo Mansion.
"Auntie, you came at a bad time. Our uncle and grandmother are not at home."
The gatekeeper of Lixiangyuan said directly: "They took the young master to go for an outing."
"I'm not here to look for them. I'm just passing through here."
That's even worse.
The doorman said in embarrassment: "Madam, you are our master's aunt, you also know the situation in this house, not to mention helping him and the second wife, you can't harm him. And if I let you in today, the second wife will beat me to death on the spot and sell my family."
Their second grandmother has such a bad temper that no one in heaven can save her if she gets angry.
“You you…”
Aunt Xue didn't expect that a servant would dare to speak like this.
She wanted to say something harsh, but think about it, she is a master, quarreling with a servant...
"Walk!"
At this point, Aunt Xue finally realized that because her daughter Baochai had entered the palace, everyone in the Jia family... probably closed the door to her.
She couldn't knock on the side door of Rongguo Mansion again.
Ever since Baochai entered the palace, her niece Wang Xifeng had someone spread the message, "The two families have come to an end."
At that time, she thought, it’s the end, her brother is back.
During this period, whenever there was anything happening in the shop, she would ask the Wang family's manager for help.
Her family's business was not affected at all.
Now……
Aunt Xue hurried home and asked someone to write two invitations, one for each of the Ning and Rong mansions.
But as expected, the Ningguo Mansion refused to accept it.
At Rongguo Mansion, when the maid came back, she was also dejected. "Ping'er, who is next to the Second Madam, came over and said that their Second Madam needs to take care of her pregnancy. She is from the Jia family. If the Madam has any problems, she can just go to the Wang family and don't need to come to their Jia family."
Aunt Xue: “…”
She was ashamed, angry and furious.
But what to do? She had to enter the Jia family.
"Send someone to find out when Zhu'er and the others will return home."
She covered her chest and gave instructions to the servants.
But for many days, Jia Zhu did not go home.
Living in the villa outside the city is very comfortable.
Especially when the servants said that his aunt had been looking for him recently, he simply took Li Wan and his son Jia Lan to visit this temple today and that temple tomorrow.
Xue’s cousin has entered the palace, and he feels so ashamed!
Although he, like his second brother and his wife, went to the East Palace early in the morning to apologize to his aunt, and his aunt was kind and did not vent her anger on him, he was still very sad.
He didn't want to see that aunt again, not in this life. (End of this chapter)
