With the current delicate status of the Shen family, it is certainly not suitable to send Liu Ruoyu into the palace in person.
However, there is no need for the Shen family to come forward to send Liu Ruoyu to Queen Qiu as a think tank - it is always better to do this kind of thing quietly.
After Liu Ruoyu insisted on entering the palace in hopes of revenge, Wei Changying discussed with Duanmu Xinmiao and called Shen Shujing to tell her Liu Ruoyu's choice.
Influenced by their mother Liu Ruoyi during her lifetime, both Shen Shujing and Shen Shuming were very close to Liu Ruoyu.
Otherwise, after so many years of seeing Liu Ruoyu, both in appearance and temperament, she is far away from the famous lady of the past. That is to say, Shen Shujing, who has always been thinking about her, can recognize her former aunt at a glance. Instead of Wei Changying and others, Even if you meet someone on the street, you may not be able to recognize them.
And Shen Shujing sent Liu Ruoyu to her aunt Wei Changying because she couldn't persuade her to give up her hatred and live a good life. Otherwise, Shen Shujing could achieve this by giving Liu Ruoyu the status of a commoner and living a life of wealth and mediocrity.
Shen Shujing had sent Liu Ruoyu here before, and had asked Wei Changying privately if he could intercede with Liu Xixun and let Liu Ruoyu resume her identity as the daughter of the Liu family - of course not using Liu Ruoyu's own identity. After all, she was the former Wei Emperor. Daughter-in-law, all the direct princesses of the former Wei Dynasty were expelled from the Jiaofangsi. The royal daughter-in-law of the former Wei Dynasty... isn't this causing trouble for the Liu family? How could Liu Xixun agree
According to Shen Shujing's idea, there are so many people in the Liu family anyway. If Liu Ruoyu doesn't restore her status as the legitimate daughter of her sect and establish a branch, she is still a scholar... But Liu Ruoyu is determined to take revenge. For this reason, Liu Ruoyu No matter how noble a girl is, she is even willing to enter the palace and serve Empress Qiu who is a country woman!
So Shen Shujing cried for most of the day, saying everything he could with all his sincerity. He even ignored Mo Xuanwen and acted coquettishly and begged to Liu Ruoyu. However, Liu Ruoyu has been living in exile for many years without changing her original intention. How tenacious is her determination
She hugged Shen Shujing and remained silent, but the persistence in her eyes showed no sign of wavering.
In the end, Shen Shujing could only wipe his face, and then asked Wei Changying to protect Liu Ruoyu as much as possible.
"I won't hide it from you. If Ruoyu was outside the palace, I would be able to take a look at her. But once she enters the palace, our family's current situation is very inappropriate for her to have anything to do with the harem." Wei Chang Ying said frankly, "So after entering the palace, everything depends on Ruoyu herself."
"I was originally married to that place, so what do I have to fear when I go back now?" Liu Ruoyu said calmly, "I also have experience in serving Queen Qiu. The Gu family who was deposed during the reign of Emperor Wei Ai, What a powerful person he is? But haven't I been praised by her many times? How can Queen Qi be more difficult to serve than the deposed Queen Gu? "
Shen Shujing said sadly: "But you were the Crown Princess at that time, and now..."
Now that Liu Ruoyu enters the palace, if she is lucky, she will be a female official, but if she is not lucky, she will have to start as a low-level palace maid. No matter which one, they are all servants.
When did ladies like them from a famous family imagine that they would be reduced to being servants
Just for this kind of humiliation, many ladies would rather commit suicide than suffer it!
Liu Ruoyu was not afraid at all, she even wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible... One can imagine the hatred in her heart, the grievance in her heart, and her will to take revenge!
"In some families, the daughter-in-law is worse than the servant." Liu Ruoyu was indeed unmoved and said calmly.
Having said that, the matter was settled.
So we return to the original question, how does Liu Ruoyu enter the palace? How to get to Queen Qiu
Duanmu Xinmiao suggested that she do this: "In the past two years, I have treated many people in the palace without getting any money, so I have saved a lot of favors. Now that the new dynasty has just been established, the harem of the previous dynasty has continued The system of the former Wei Dynasty was built in a hurry, so it is quite chaotic. So be careful, and you may not be suspicious of me - how about asking the little palace lady who sent me the news to recommend it to Queen Qi? "
"Don't directly say it's for the Queen." Wei Changying reminded, "That will not only make Queen Qiu suspicious, but the new emperor, the Shan Guifei, may also pay attention to it. Paying too much attention will be troublesome." She suggested, "I would recommend to Princess Xian'an to be her tutoring aunt. Princess Xian'an is getting older and she will have to discuss the matter of descending in a year or two. She deserves to be trained by an aunt who knows the rules."
Shen Shujing also thought this was a good idea: "Being a princess' tutoring aunt is always more dignified than ordinary palace people."
"Then what if I really follow the princess in the future?" Liu Ruoyu frowned.
Wei Changying said: "You have never met Princess Xian'an. That princess was raised in Mingpeitang for some time with the eldest prince. I know her very well. She is an understanding child. She has no bad intentions and no It’s hard to teach. She especially admires people who are truly talented and knowledgeable - as long as you show that you are competent in court matters, she won’t be afraid that she won’t recommend you to Queen Qiu.”
After a pause, he said, "Besides, the eldest prince is currently in Fengzhou and cannot come back. Queen Qiu's only biological flesh and blood is Princess Xian'an. Princess Xian'an still lives with the queen in Weiyang Palace, not where the princess should live." Rui Gong—Are you afraid that you won’t have a chance to persuade the Queen?”
Now that this method has been decided, Liu Ruoyu cannot continue to live in the Shen family.
Fortunately, Shen Shujing also had a sense of propriety. When he brought Liu Ruoyu back to Mo Mansion earlier, he hid the news, not even telling Mo Binwei.
The reason why she can be so strict is also related to Mo Binwei's background - even though he relied on the war to operate privately with the Wei family, Mo Binwei was considered to be a child of a fallen noble family, but in fact, he started out just like an ordinary commoner.
This resulted in the fact that even though Mo Binwei was now in a high and powerful position, his personal subordinates were either soldiers or personal guards, and there were no decent housekeepers or other servants at home. All the servants in Mo Mansion who specialize in serving are all Shen Shujing's dowry. With loyal servants from these families, it is certainly not difficult for Shen Shujing to hide something.
At that time, Wei Chief Ying sent someone to take Liu Ruoyu out of the back door after nightfall and settled in a house near the little palace maid's house that Duan Mu Xinmiao said.
A few days later, Queen Qiu indeed summoned this "rich woman who was well-read in poetry and books and had a gentle temperament, but lost all her relatives due to the war and now wants to find a job to make ends meet."
It is not easy to use Liu Ruoyu's name anymore. Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao originally thought that it would be a trivial matter to give Liu Ruoyu a pseudonym and leave it to Liu Ruoyu's liking. But the pseudonym Liu Ruoyu proposed left them speechless: Qiu Bao.
The other way around is revenge.
"It's actually good to have the same surname as Empress Qiu. It shows closeness." Wei Changying persuaded her tactfully, "But using the word 'Bao' in the name is too...direct?"
Fortunately, Liu Ruoyu did not insist on her opinion this time, but asked: "Then will you pick one for me?"
"Uh..." Wei Changying couldn't think of a name in a hurry - mainly because of her identity. Normally, the names that come to mind are sophisticated, revealing romance, wealth and grace.
But Liu Ruoyu is now a commoner woman. Even if she comes from a wealthy family among the common people, her style should be limited. Using a name like "Yiren" may be more eye-catching than Qiu Bao.
So Wei Changying thought for a while and said, "Add the word Qiu Baoniang, right? That way it won't be conspicuous."
Liu Ruoyu's eyes lit up and she said, "That's a good word." The biggest revenge she wanted to take was the death of her biological mother, wasn't it
Qiu Baoniang was brought to Queen Qiu to examine whether she was qualified to teach Princess Xian'an. The process naturally went very smoothly. She was taught by the direct daughter of the Liu family of Donghu - even though her stepmother Zhang Shaoguang had withheld that teaching, her cousin Liu Ruoyi naturally made up for it when she took her to the former Wei Taifu's house from time to time.
Teaching a princess from a rural background is just a piece of cake.
Liu Ruoyu's goal is not to become the princess's confidant, so she must seize this opportunity to show off in front of the queen. When Queen Qiu asked her how she planned to cultivate the princess, her words made Queen Qiu thoughtful.
In the end, although Liu Ruoyu was still arranged to teach Princess Xian'an first, Queen Qiu obviously remembered her as a person.
Duanmu Xinmiao and Wei Changying were both relieved after receiving the news from the little palace maid.
Nothing happened when the person was sent in. If they go to clean up the matter, they will be relieved of responsibility, and there will be no evidence if they are exposed in the future. How much effect can be achieved next depends on Liu Ruoyu's ability.
At this point, neither Duanmu Xinmiao nor Wei Changying would care anymore.
They had no time to care at this time.
Because the new emperor finally opened his mouth, he temporarily stopped the unsatisfactory southwest war and discussed the reward first.
The ministers discussed their merits. Although Wei Xinyong and Mo Binwei were the two pillars when the new emperor started, they could not be bypassed. But when it comes to taking the lead, this kind of honor that is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, who can not be careful
In the end, everyone asked the new emperor for instructions. The new emperor was unambiguous and directly decided that Wei Xinyong was first and Mo Binwei was second.
The qualifications and achievements of these two people were there. Although the officials were jealous, since the new emperor had no intention of suppressing them, he really couldn't find any reason and had to agree.
But no one expected that the rewards given to these two people by the new emperor were not like those of the former Wei Dynasty. The highest title for a minister was just a duke - but a king.
Wei Xinyong was awarded the title of King of Jin, and Mo Binwei was awarded the title of King of Ning!
There was no king with a different surname in the former Wei Dynasty. Regardless of the titles and residences of the harem and concubines, or the official system of the previous dynasty, they almost copied the new emperor of the former Wei Dynasty, but made changes in the title of king. It was so generous. While the ministers were in an uproar, there were many who were sincerely grateful to the new emperor for his generosity. !
Even the nobles who have always been reserved and proud find the new emperor extremely cute!
However, everyone is gearing up to get a king, and the credit is really not enough. If there is no Southwest, there are always some people who are dissatisfied with this matter.
Wei Changfeng went to his sister Wei Changying with a livid face: "Uncle Wei Sixth was granted the title of King of Jin, and he also designated an actual fief. He is no different from the princes of the former Wei... Then what will our Ruiyu Hall do in the future?!"
This directly shakes the foundation of Ruiyu Hall!
Wei Xinyong himself has limited feelings for Rui Yutang, and even Wei Huan, who has the most contact with him in Rui Yutang, is also scheming against each other. If he was alone and childless, maybe Rui Yutang could slowly develop a relationship with him in the coming days. But my brother and nephew are both here! After that, he took these people and ran to Jin to become the King of Jin. The Wei family in Fengzhou showed up again and made trouble for the Tang Dynasty. The problem is that this King of Jin is hereditary and irreplaceable, unless the new emperor gives Ruiyu Hall another title. A king who is almost the same, otherwise he would be suppressed by the King of Jin for generations, and you can imagine who took the position of Lord of the Valve!
But how could the new emperor let the Wei family have two kings? !
Especially Wei Huan's team, even though they made some private contributions to the new emperor, they are far from the great contribution of making the king! (To be continued)
