The girls from Jing'an Houfu have always been the most sought after in the imperial city.
Whether it’s from this generation or the previous generation.
Jing'an Marquis has been a general since the old Marquis's grandfather.
During the reign of the late emperor, the Shen family had made countless achievements.
Now that Jin is on the throne, there are fewer wars, but they are still stationed on the border.
In the past nearly a hundred years, dozens of sons and daughters of the Shen family have been killed in battle.
Although the Shen family today is still a marquis, they are definitely considered important ministers trusted by the emperor.
Moreover, now that there is no war, the children and grandchildren of the Shen family no longer need to go to the battlefield, but also go to the civil service one after another.
For example, Shen Chuliu's eldest cousin is currently struggling with his seniority.
The girls of the Shen family have always been strong and capable, and have an excellent reputation.
There are six girls in this generation, and each of them was betrothed by many people when they were in the boudoir.
Even if she is a concubine, there are people of equal status who want to marry her.
As for the second wife of the Shen family, Miss Shen Si, the only orphan of General Zhenbei, naturally had many people asking for her hand in marriage.
Shen Chuliu was also famous when she was in the boudoir. This was a benefit given to the girls by the Shen family.
She is also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has learned all the skills as a knitting girl. Needless to say, it goes without saying that one should provide support in management and support one’s husband and children.
But at that time, although she was also worried about her future marriage. But she didn't expect that her family wanted to ask her to enter the palace.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first time he added people to his harem was through a draft.
However, with a family background like Shen Chuliu's, there was no need to choose. All he had to do was ask his mother-in-law to come to the house to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the girl.
At that time, Shen Chuliu suddenly heard that the Shen family was also sending a girl in. In addition to her, there was also her third sister who was about the same age.
However, the third girl of the Shen family is a concubine.
At that time, Shen Chuliu thought that the third sister, who was born as a concubine, was going to enter the palace.
She actually felt sorry for her once.
But when she was called to Hua Xitang, she began to understand that even if she was a concubine, as long as she still had parents, someone would protect her.
What's more, it was the first time that the new emperor had sent someone in, and the Shen family didn't dare to send a concubine out.
So, she, the legitimate daughter who has lost her parents and enters the palace as a hero, is not important enough to the emperor
At that time, Shen Chuliu was sitting in Huaxi Hall looking at her grandmother, whom she still trusted: "Grandma, the Shen family is not going to send people in now, right? My granddaughter really doesn't want to go into the palace."
At that time, Mrs. Qu was silent for a long time and then said: "That's fine, you go back first and grandma will think about it later."
Shen Chuliu went back.
Although my grandmother was partial to others, she was the only child in the second family. She always thought that there was always something different.
Even her mother's dowry and the property of her second wife were in the hands of others.
She is a girl after all, and girls in ancient times had no rights.
She didn't care anymore.
However, three days later, the nanny from Prince Yi's residence came to see him.
She met the visitor together with her third sister, who was about the same age.
The news coming from Hua Xitang is that he will either enter the palace or the palace of Prince Yi.
They sisters can choose.
The first time he heard this, Shen Chuliu laughed.
She came here with the memories of her previous life, and after she came, her mother was gone.
Her father died in the war a long time ago and she was raised by a nanny. She has always had a weak sense of belonging here.
Later, I gradually accepted everything. My grandmother was kind and my aunts were polite.
Since childhood, I have had enough food and clothing, no worse than my sisters.
Everything that needs to be learned and learned has been arranged. The servant is a demon, and she herself has never been a soft persimmon.
There will inevitably be quarrels between sisters, but she can handle them appropriately.
I thought that in this life, when I get married at an old age, I will go home to honor my elders.
But the elders saw her as a pawn. Now that the chess pieces are disobedient, it's time to deal with them.
Hate is out of the question, just disappointment.
What is King Yi? He is a famous pervert with nearly a hundred concubines in his mansion. He is not young anymore.
This is grandma... or in other words, this is the second path given to her by the Shen family.
The Shen family was certain that she would not choose this path.
The Shen family thought well, but she really didn't know how. If she was destined to be a concubine, of course she would choose to enter the palace.
However, after she chose to enter the palace, she knelt down in Huaxi Hall and kowtowed to Mrs. Qu.
Three heads should be given to this bloodline.
"Since grandma thinks highly of her granddaughter, she will naturally do her best." Shen Chuliu never said another word.
This is ancient times, not modern times.
She can't escape. It might be possible to betray the family and leave the imperial city, but there would never be a way out.
She didn't want to gamble on the unknown.
Enter the palace, okay, then enter the palace.
Mrs. Qu helped her up, her smile still kind: "You are a good child, and grandma knows that. You are also smart, and you will only have a good life after entering the palace. In a few years, you will have a son and a half daughter. Wouldn't this life be a good one?" Enjoy endless glory and wealth?”
She is very persuasive.
If she were an ancient girl, she might not refuse from the beginning.
For example, her third sister, while she sympathized with him, she still resented her for having this opportunity.
Shen Chuliu also smiled innocently: "Yes, grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter will be fine, and the Shen family will be fine too."
Well, if I could gain a foothold in the palace, it would be nothing more than another kind of life.
Anyway, this is ancient times, and women basically don’t pursue love.
Especially women from large families.
Then... just pursue something else.
She would definitely not wrong herself. Both her parents were dead and she had no biological brothers and sisters. It sounded miserable.
After all, Daiyu once cried and complained that her mother Shuang had a miserable life and she had no weak brothers.
But if you go to the palace, there will be no benefits.
For example, she can do whatever she wants, and once she is found guilty, she will not be able to harm others.
As for the Shen family? Haha, from now on, it can only be icing on the cake.
If something happens to her and she is convicted, then the Shen family should suffer.
After all, when the time comes, she won't bother with everything.
At that time, Shen Chuliu already knew his fate and the Shen family's estimate of his value.
She was just exploring the palace.
What the Shen family really values is Shen Biyu, the fifth girl from the third bedroom.
In this case, then... let's use each other, this kind of relationship is the best.
There is no need to worry, and there is no need to be frightened.
She never lived for others in her life.
The day Shen Chuliu entered the palace was her sixteenth birthday. The first day of March.
The new willow branches sway gently in the wind, and the green willow buds stretch tremblingly in the breeze.
It needs a rain to grow strong.
And Shen Chuliu, like this new-born willow leaf, needs a rain to thrive.
Where is life not life? Where will life be better? It doesn’t all depend on how you live. Isn't it the palace? She can still live well.
At least that's what Shen Chuliu thought at that time.
