Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

""Your Majesty's decree, that is, from today, the four concubines will be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and Hui Concubine and Yan Concubine will also be in charge. "

"The concubine accepts the order."

"The canonization ceremony has just ended, and the sage suddenly issued an order. All the concubines were puzzled and didn't know what it was. They were all guessing in their hearts, but they didn't expect it to be a matter of palace authority."

"No, someone still thought of it."

That was Concubine Tang Xian who was in charge of the palace power, and Concubine Fang Ming and Concubine Wang Li who were in charge of palace affairs.

"Since leaving the palace for Qiuxi, the power of the Six Palaces has been in the hands of Concubine Tang Xian and Concubine Fang Ming and Concubine Li. After Qiuxi, due to an accident, the queen was abolished, and Concubine Lin, Concubine Chen Shu, and Concubine Zhang De died; The palace power has not been taken back. After returning to the palace, there has been no peace, and the palace power has always been in the hands of the three concubines Tang Xian."

"Now that the sage seals the six palaces, and the four concubines and six concubines are all in place, the three concubines of Tang Xian know that the palace power in their hands may not be able to be kept."

"Although the three of them are all old people in the palace, they are all too old to be favored. Moreover, none of the three have any sons. The fact that they were able to hold high positions back then has a lot to do with their family background."

"Nowadays the sage seals the six palaces, and those who are promoted to high positions are all concubines with favorites and princes. Three old concubines without children and no favors can't hold down the favorite concubines with children. It will be sooner or later that the palace power is handed over. .”

It's just that the three of them didn't expect the imperial decree to come so quickly, the sage really didn't care about old feelings, and immediately after the canonization ceremony was over, he decreed to seize their imperial power.

Concubine Tang Xian is fine, although the newly allocated palace powers are unimportant trifles, she is still in power after all.

"But Concubine Fang Ming and Concubine Wang Li feel uncomfortable, especially when the sage asked Concubine Fang Hui and Concubine Zhao Yan to assist in the palace affairs. Isn't this slapping them in the face and disgusting them for not having a son?"

It doesn't matter how the two of them feel, Jiang Wanyin and the others don't care, the few people who just won the palace power are all happy in their hearts.However, there is still one person who is dissatisfied, and that is Concubine Zhen.

In Concubine Zhen's view, she is now the head of concubines and the most honorable woman in the harem; in the absence of a queen in the harem, the power in the harem should be in the hands of the concubine who is the head of all concubines.

But now that the palace power is divided into four, and there are two more assistants, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yan, how can Concubine Zhen be reconciled.What's more, the sage slapped her directly in the face, just now she wanted to be gifted by Shu Xiande's third concubine.Now that the sage and the four concubines are in charge of the palace together, it is almost clear that the four are equal. Her concubine is not the master of the harem as she thought.

How dissatisfied Concubine Zhen is, what she thinks in her heart, Jiang Wanyin can't control it.After receiving the imperial edict, he bid farewell again and left with the palace servants.

"I have to go back to collect the account books, so I will take my leave first."

As soon as Jiang Wanyin left, Concubine Tang Xian followed closely behind, and then Concubine Wu De.As soon as the third concubine left, the sixth concubine also left, and soon all the people in Weiyang Palace disappeared, leaving only Concubine Zhen Gui as master and servant.

Concubine Zhen finally couldn't help but vented her anger by smashing the turmoil.

On the same day, Concubine Tang Xian and Concubine Li and Concubine Ming sent the corresponding account books to the palaces and sent them to Jiang Wanyin and others according to the order.Jiang Wanyin also started her first power in the harem.

The sage enfeoffed four concubines and six concubines in the harem, and many congratulatory gifts were sent into the palace for concubines outside the palace.In addition, there are many imperial wives, relatives and family members who came to the palace to congratulate.

Although Jiang Wanyin is the weakest of the four concubines, there are quite a few congratulatory gifts for her as Concubine Shu, and of course there are also imperial wives and family members who come to congratulate her.

What surprised Jiang Wanyin was that the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion who had no relationship with her before went to Yuxiu Palace to beg to see her.

"Rongguo Mansion? Did you hear me right?"

After hearing Liu Cheng's report, Jiang Wanyin thought she had heard it wrong.

She has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion.

Based on what she knew about Jia Shishi of Rongguo Mansion, that person looked down on her.

She has been a concubine for nearly twenty years, Jia Shishi enters the palace every year, but he never came to Yuxiu Palace to pay her respects.

Could it be that she became Concubine Shu and fell into the eyes of Jia Shishi.

"The lady declared herself to be Rongguo Mansion, the slave will not misunderstand."

"Rongguo Mansion, is this Mrs. Rongguo?"

"It's the wife of the son of Rongguo Mansion."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhang."

She didn't say it earlier, so she thought it was Jia Shishi.Jiang Wanyin didn't want to see Jia Shishi at all.

"Since you're here to congratulate Ben Gong, let someone come in."

Duke Rong is a confidant of a sage, a husband and wife, Rong, Mrs. Rong is important, and Mrs. Rong's wife is not light; so even if the person is Mrs. Rong, she can't just disappear because she doesn't like it.

If the concubines in the harem want to be favored, their likes and dislikes must be consistent with those of the saints. They like what the saints like and hate what the saints hate.

"The minister's wife pays homage to Concubine Shu, wishing her good health and prosperity."

"Sit without courtesy."

"Concubine Xie Shu."

"Mrs. Shizi is a rare visitor, which makes this Palace of Heaven and Beauty even more splendid."

Although she has been a concubine for many years and has three children, but due to her low birth, she has no influence outside the palace, and she has little contact with outside the palace, especially those powerful ministers; therefore, the wives and wives of those kings and ministers seldom visit her as Yuxiu Palace is here.

"Ms. Concubine Shu is just joking. The minister's wife came here specially to thank you. The empress is so kind and virtuous that the minister's wife has nothing to repay..."

Mrs. Zhang got up and knelt down to kowtow to Jiang Wanyin again, and Jiang Wanyin hurriedly asked someone to help her up.

"What is Madam Shizi doing? I just helped Mrs. Shizi when you fell down. It's just a small effort. This is a great kindness."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words. What she said was not about helping her as Concubine Shu said, but... it was just Concubine Shu, what does this mean?Before Mrs. Zhang understood, Jiang Wanyin laughed again:

"It's just a trivial matter, so don't worry about Mrs. Shi Zi."

Jiang Wanyin obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore. Although Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what Jiang Wanyin said before, she could still hear it; so she followed Jiang Wanyin's words and said:

"It's a piece of cake for the empress, but it's a big deal for the minister's wife. Could it be that the empress helped, the minister's wife might be injured. The concubine will always remember the grace of the empress."

Mrs. Zhang looked grateful.

"Mrs. Shizi is serious."

Not wanting to talk about this anymore, Jiang Wanyin changed the subject.

"I heard from the concubine's sister that Mrs. Rong Guo said that there is a granddaughter who is born on the first day of the first lunar month. She looks quite cute, beautiful and virtuous. Why didn't Mrs. Shizi bring her daughter into the palace? I want to meet a clever girl who can be praised by the concubine and sister."

Jiang Wanyin was at odds with Concubine Zhen, so naturally she didn't hear these words from Concubine Zhen.It's just that Mrs. Rong Guogong spared no effort to praise Jia Yuanchun to Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen didn't stop her. These words were spread by the palace servants of Weiyang Palace.

Jiang Wanyin specifically mentioned this, she had ulterior motives.

"I'm afraid that Concubine Shu is a servant. The court wife has only one son who is still young. Madam, what you are talking about should be the eldest daughter of the concubine's uncle."

Mrs. Zhang smiled forcedly, but Jiang Wanyin didn't seem to see it.

"So that's the case, but I misunderstood." Jiang Wanyin said with a look of embarrassment.

"Earlier, I heard that the elder sister of the noble concubine praised the eldest daughter of the second son of the noble mansion. She liked it very much. She wished that Mrs. Rong Guogong could be sent to the palace so that the elder sister of the noble concubine could stay by her side."

"That child Yuanchun is really cute, it is the child's blessing to be loved by the imperial concubine and empress."

Hearing Jiang Wanyin praise Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of Jia Zheng, Mrs. Zhang forced a forced smile to agree, even though she smiled.

"Back then, Mrs. Shizi and General Jia got married. I also heard about it in the palace. Is Mrs. Shizi the granddaughter of Mrs. Zhang?"

Jiang Wanyin's conversation was out of bounds.

"Exactly."

"The sage is very sad about the matter of the old lady. The lords Ding You, the sage is very reluctant. The lords are sincere and filial, and they insist on resigning from office and Ding You returning to their ancestral home to keep their filial piety."

The prince's rebellion was originally supposed to involve the ransacking of Zhang's house, but because Mrs. Zhang blocked the knife for the saint and lost his life in full view, and Jia Daishan and his son later made contributions to saving him; the saint thanked Mrs. Zhang for saving him , In the end, it saved Zhang's house from being ransacked.

The Zhang family also knew how to do this, and immediately left Beijing to return to their ancestral home to observe their filial piety by giving Fu Shouxiao to Mrs. Zhang and the whole family's male Ding You;

"The ancestral home of Mrs. Zhang is in Anqing Mansion?"

"The ancestral home of the minister's wife's natal family is indeed in Anqing Mansion. Empress..."

Zhang's security was led away by Jiang Wanyin's words.

"Anqing Mansion is a good place. Beautiful girls from Bishan Mountain are fascinating. No wonder you have raised such a beautiful lady like Madam. Madam, have you ever been to Anqing Mansion?"

"The minister's wife was born in the capital, and has never been to Anqing Mansion."

"Then Mrs. Shizi should go and see it. Mrs. Shizi looks quite sad. Mrs. Shizi should take the young master out for a walk more to relax, so as to be healthy physically and mentally and prolong life. They say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Bishan Xiushui is refreshing and eye-opening. Does Mrs. Shizi say that?"

Mrs. Zhang was confused by Jiang Wanyin's words, she didn't understand why Jiang Wanyin wanted her to leave Beijing, and she couldn't ask carefully and could only agree.

The two didn't talk for too long, and Mrs. Zhang offered to leave.

Mrs. Zhang did not enter the palace alone, she entered the palace with Mrs. Jia, but Mrs. Mrs. Jia went to Weiyang Palace where Concubine Zhen lived, Mrs. Zhang proposed to go to Yuxiu Palace to thank her, so the two separated.

The time to leave the palace is coming soon, Mrs. Zhang hurried to meet Mrs. Jia Shi.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't understand Jiang Wanyin's words.Today Zhang's life in Rongguo Mansion is difficult, and he has very little contact with outside the mansion and political affairs, and knows even less; so he doesn't understand Jiang Wanyin's words.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't figure it out. If she used to go to Zhang's mansion for help and ask her mother to analyze it for her; but now that Zhang's family has left Beijing, she has no one to turn to.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, she still couldn't figure it out, she quietly told Jia She what Jiang Wanyin said; but she knew that Jia She respected Jia Shishi and disliked the second wife, so she didn't say anything about Jiang Wanyin about Jia Shishi and the second wife.

Jia Amnesty listened carefully but couldn't understand clearly, so he went to Jia Daishan to explain his doubts.

Although Jia Daishan liked Jia Zheng more, it was just that the Rongguo Mansion accepted the Zhang family's affection for this incident, and because of the Zhang family's Jia Daishan and Jia Amnesty, it eased a lot.

"Master, what do you mean by Concubine Shu?"
