After the Yu family left, a letter was delivered to Shen Zuoxiang's residence, which was written by Young Master Yu.
There was no other content in the letter, just to ask Mr. Zuoxiang and the imperial concubine to send a message to Mrs. Mei, Yu Kexin and Concubine Wei.
What I gave to Mrs. Mei is nothing more than to hope that she will live a good life. Now that she has become the emperor's woman, she should stop thinking about the things the Yu family did, and don't hate the emperor, and don't ruin her life.
The one for Yu Kexin was a poem, which was written by the two siblings at home for fun. The content is actually very simple, probably about fighting against the future and not giving up. It is the eldest son who hopes that Yu Kexin will not commit suicide and live a good life.
Now that the emperor has stopped torturing her, she is not living a life that is worse than death. It's better to die than to live, and maybe the emperor will let her leave the palace with grace in the future.
In the end, there are only two words for Concubine Wei, thank you.
Thank Concubine Wei for taking care of Yu Kexin in the past six months. As a foreigner, he can't thank him in person, and he can't send any letters in, so that people can use it to slander Concubine Wei for having an affair. So he could only give two words to Concubine Wei, although thousands of words couldn't express his gratitude to Concubine Wei.
Prime Minister Zuo let out a long sigh, and agreed to the matter. He copied the poem and asked Mrs. Shen to bring it into the palace.
"It's roughly like this." Mrs. Shen repeated what Mr. Yu said, and then presented the paper with the poem on it.
Shen Yuqing nodded: "I will bring these words."
Mrs. Shen put down Shen Liyi, who was already five years old, and asked him to go play with Qingxi. However, Qingxi was practicing and didn't have time, so the little fat man pouted unhappily, and went to play with his little cousin Qiuqiu again.
Her Royal Highness, who has felt miserable since the beginning of her practice, is indeed miserable. Now that her little followers are gone, she can't do it if she wants to jump up and down in the palace every day to cause damage. Only in the afternoon when she was in class, a group of younger brothers from the families of princes and generals could do homework for her and chat with her for comfort.
Fatty Shen Liyi didn't understand her sadness, he foolishly ran around following Qiuqiu. He ran from the house to the outside, and naturally interrupted Qingxi's practice.
Qingxi was so angry that she grabbed Qiuqiu and was about to spank her butt, but Qiuqiu was too nimble and broke free with a twist. So the unlucky Shen Liyi became the chubby and inflexible Shen Liyi, who was caught and spanked by the princess.
"See if you're still naughty!" Qingxi snorted and shouted at her younger brother.
Shen Liyi, who was implicated, flattened his mouth, feeling aggrieved.
Seeing this, Qingxi felt a little embarrassed, she used to dote on Shen Xiaopang very much.
Miss Qingxi, who found out her conscience, let go of Shen Xiaopang, and gave him a candy she treasured, coaxing: "Okay, okay, my cousin won't scold you, go play! Don't disturb my practice anymore!" , did you hear that?"
"Understood." The little fat man grabbed the candy tightly and said foolishly.
After finishing speaking, he didn't run away with Qiuqiu, he just found a place beside him and sat down, and started to watch his cousin practice.
Cousin's practice is really good. He has never seen those movements, but he thinks they are very powerful.
Shen Xiaopang watched with his chin propped up, thinking that he would have to become as good as his cousin in the future. Then he married his cousin back home. His grandmother said that when he grows up, he wants to find the best wife. He thinks his cousin is the best girl he has ever seen.
The eldest grandson of the Shen family, who had never seen many girls, just fell headlong into the big pit named Qingxi.
It is estimated that being domestically abused in the future is just around the corner.
In the room, the imperial concubine was still chatting with her cheap mother.
"That young master of the Yu family is really an interesting person. I don't know how the Yu family can teach such a sage scholar." Mrs. Shen smiled and shook her head, "Our Shen and Yu families are deadly enemies, and he is not afraid that the master will take his Send a letter to His Majesty to file a complaint, and it was sent directly to the Shen family."
Sin slaves are not allowed to send letters to their relatives in the palace, but generally it depends on the attitude of the emperor. If the emperor is angry, it will be bad; if the emperor is more tolerant, he will not care.
Young Master Yu has always been very good at studying the imperial examinations. Although he is the eldest son of a concubine, since Prime Minister Yu has no son-in-law, he is considered a wealthy son-in-law in the capital.
Before the matter of Prime Minister Yu, Mr. Yu originally wanted to take part in the imperial examination next year. Many people have confidence in him and feel that he will definitely be able to enter the first class.
It's a pity that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and he himself was implicated as an official slave, and he could no longer be an official in the court in this life. Even if the Yu family were not official slaves, the punishment given by the emperor included the prohibition of being an official in Beijing for five generations, so it was useless for him to be restored to good status.
Shen Yuqing had heard about him, and at the time she felt that although the Yu family was not grateful, they were quite good at raising children. Now it seems that it's not that he knows how to raise a baby, but that he raises a baby stupidly.
Those who will find the Shen family to help deliver the message are either really naive or really smart.
The former is obviously this stupid scholar, and the latter is expected to be an upright person with clear grievances and grievances, and will not anger all Yu's family members because of the affairs of Prime Minister Yu.
Shen Yuqing thinks that whether it is the former or the latter, Mr. Yu is fine. The latter can bring the Yu family back to glory as soon as possible, and the former can also give the Yu family a better future and change the current lifeless and resentful mentality of the Yu family.
"Does Master Zuo want to help him?" Shen Yuqing asked with a smile.
Although she rarely met Prime Minister Zuo, she knew Mr. Prime Minister Zuo very well.
As a killer, Shen Yuqing has come into contact with various people, acted as various people, and studied various people. She can see a person very clearly, maybe Mrs. Shen who has been sleeping with her for so many years doesn't understand Xiang Shen well.
For example, Mrs. Shen still thought that Prime Minister Shen didn't know about his daughter's change.
In fact, he knew it.
Shen Yuqing also thought that he didn't know at first, but after the last contact, she found out that Xiang Shen knew. After checking, it turned out that not only did he know about it, but every time Mrs. Shen went to see her biological daughter, he was actually watching from a distance.
He also asked his friends to take care of his daughter, and even sent the nursing home of the Shen family to live near his daughter's house to protect his daughter and grandson.
Master Zuoxiang is actually a very careful person.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't know the truth, she still lived happily. I don't know what Prime Minister Shen did, Mrs. Shen no longer has the same fear and cautiousness as before.
Originally, she was very worried that her old-fashioned husband would be furious after learning about her daughter's elopement, and would remove her daughter from the clan. But now she doesn't seem to be worried anymore, her posture is very relaxed and natural, as if it doesn't matter if something happens. Even if the matter is opened, it will be as indifferent as if you are talking about what you are going to eat soon.
After listening to Shen Yuqing's question, she nodded with a smile: "Master, he has such a temperament, he can't see a good seedling as a waste. He wants to help Mr. Yu get rid of his slave status, so that Mr. Yu and the others can open a private school in the future. Yes, enough to feed the family."
There are five or six stupid scholars in the Yu family. They may not be as good at literature as the eldest son, but they are more than enough to be a private tutor. At the very least, scholars and the like can teach, but those who have been admitted to Juren will not be able to do so.
But this kind of literature, in some relatively small towns, is already considered a great Confucianism.
"Maybe after a long time, the Yu family can develop into a scholarly family."
Then set up some kind of academy, and you can be famous all over the world without taking an official career in the future.
Shen Yuqing thinks it's very reasonable, but in fact, she doesn't have to be an official, the officialdom is tricky, it's not easy to mix, and it's easy to lose her head. Being a great Confucian with idle clouds and scattered cranes, his disciples are all over the world, and he can be rich and honored for many years, gaining both fame and fortune without getting involved in taking the throne.
Moreover, there was that kind of scholarly family in the previous dynasty, and the daughter who came out was more difficult to marry than the royal princess. Some people even said that if they can marry a girl from their family, they will be perfect in this life.
So, in fact, this kind of aristocratic family is also pursued by everyone.
"By the way, how is Yueyue recently?" Shen Yuqing asked.
Yueyue is the nickname of the original owner, usually only those who are close to him will call him. Shen Yuqing has had a good relationship with Mrs. Shen over the years, and apart from the court affairs, the only topic between them is about the original owner.
When mentioning the original Miss Shen, Mrs. Shen's smile became stronger: "She is living a very good life, every time I see her, she smiles like a flower."
"The lady is still not at ease?"
"An Xin is An Xin, but I just feel that this girl is really annoying." Madam Shen said reproachfully, "Ask her if she wants me, and she will act like a baby and say yes, but I don't see that she does. She can't bear to talk to me." It’s really not reserved at all to live to see my son-in-law.”
Shen Yuqing smiled: "It's pretty good. It's good for the young couple to have a good relationship. It's not easy to be cold if you mix it with honey every day."
It's better than feeling no passion after getting married and just making do with it every day.
"That's the reason." Madam Shen nodded in satisfaction.
Her daughter is a bit silly, but luckily someone is willing to pamper her. The son is doing well, although he is a bit puzzled, but fortunately, the daughter-in-law is sensible, so she won't be let off by his lumpy personality. Now, she is just worrying about her eldest grandson and two grandchildren, and by the way, looking forward to her daughter-in-law giving birth to another precious granddaughter.
Shen Yuqing was speechless after listening to the childbirth.
Seeing that the time was approaching, she hurriedly sent her away, lest she would have a whim and urge Shen Yuqing to give birth as well.
You must know that Shen Yuqing's two cubs are not born by herself, she always thinks that it is better for a woman to have a baby connected by her own blood.
But let it go, Shen Yuqing thought, she couldn't make Fu Qiushui pregnant, and Fu Qiushui also didn't have the ability to make her pregnant. The son and daughter snatched from the emperor are very good, and she is already very satisfied.
Children are annoying, and raising two is annoying enough, so she doesn't want to have another one by herself.
Time flies like water, and five years have passed in a flash.
In the spring of the eleventh year of Pingxi, the emperor decided to make a southern tour.
Three consecutive years of bumper harvests have made the country peaceful and peaceful, almost reaching the peak of prosperity.
Dayan was originally Haiyan and Heqing because of the hard work of the previous generations of emperors. Today, the public is beautiful, and the economy, politics and culture are prosperous and developing. Those countries that were ready to move at the border in the past have been suffering continuously in recent years. For a while, there will be an earthquake in this country, and for a while, there will be drought and flood in that country.
After such a toss, Dayan became stronger, and they became weaker. One ebbs and the other, Dayan used more taxes to increase the number of troops, and reorganized the entire frontier area into an iron bucket. Seeing that they no longer had the conditions to take advantage of the opportunity to rob, the small countries all died down, making the border completely peaceful.
That being the case, His Majesty the Emperor was full of warmth and thoughts of lust, so he naturally thought of going on a trip.
In the past, those emperors did not easily make tours to the south, because every time they would spend a lot of money. But once in a while, it would not cause much burden to the treasury, not to mention that the emperor's small treasury was so rich that he himself could spend a lot of money to subsidize the travel expenses of the southern tour.
However, in order to save money for himself, His Majesty the Emperor decided to "visit privately in microservices".
The emperor's microservice private visit will definitely not be a real microservice private visit.
Where he went, those officials can always find out, so it is impossible to make a private visit with a micro-service. But the emperor didn't care about these, he just gave everyone an attitude.
——He wants a "private visit in microservices", so no matter whether you recognize him or not, and whether you know that he has entered your jurisdiction, you are not allowed to entertain him with the standard of the emperor. Had to pretend not to know who he was, business as usual.
As for whether you secretly hide the shameful things behind your back, whitewashing the peace and only letting the emperor see the manifestation of prosperity and harmony, it doesn't matter. The emperor didn't care whether the cities in the south of the Yangtze River he saw were real or not. He came here for tourism, not to investigate the people's sentiments.
In this way, no welcome party, farewell party, or building a resting garden is allowed. Those people can't take the opportunity to ask for most of the money, so they can't make money from it to fill their own pockets.
Then, the cost of the southern tour will be much less, and His Majesty the Emperor will not have to worry about money.
"I thought you would take this opportunity to see how the people are doing." Concubine Yun said coldly, if she hadn't rolled her eyes and just listened to this, she would have thought she was an emotionless robot.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at her contemptuously: "Are you stupid? You want to visit me in private as an emperor? Do you really think others won't recognize me?"
Those who want to please the emperor are much more capable than they imagined. Maybe they hang the emperor's portrait at home every day and stare at it, remembering the emperor firmly, so that the ashes can be recognized.
Don't even think about the complete micro-service private visits, everyone, just pretend you don't know and I just pretend not to notice, to maintain the appearance of peace.
As for observing the sentiments of the people, does the emperor have to do it himself? Of course, find a bunch of hidden guards and quietly go to various places to check.
Imperial envoys are fine, but the reason is the same as that of the emperor, and it is too easy to expose. Moreover, the imperial envoy may not be able to tell the truth completely, so there is no secret guard who is easy to use.
"So I can obviously ask the hidden guards to do the work, why do I do it when I am playing? Just have fun, don't meddle in government affairs, otherwise I will not have fun at all." His Majesty's reasoning is indeed very reasonable.
Concubine Yun thought so too, those emperors who really planned to observe the people's sentiments in the name of private visits in micro-services were probably really stupid. I didn't even know that I was fooled, and I thought that the people really lived so well.
Although she was despised in terms of IQ, Concubine Yun was not cowardly at all. She glared, called He Man, and asked her to find a chance to beat up the emperor.
Hmph, nothing compares to intelligence. What can be solved with fists, of course, is to overwhelm the opponent directly by force!
The emperor was anxious: "Do you dare to go to battle in person?"
"Don't dare." Concubine Yun said casually, "Then do you dare not bring the hidden guards?"
The emperor and Concubine Yun stared at each other in a majestic confrontation, and in the end no one was better than the other. Of course the emperor had to bring his dark guards to protect him, and Concubine Yun would definitely let He Man take action instead of doing it herself, so there was no solution.
Anyway, the hidden guards couldn't beat He Man, so the emperor could only admit defeat.
He ground his teeth, and turned his head to look at Shen Yuqing who was sitting next to him, eating melons and watching the show.
The imperial concubine threw away the skin of the melon and smiled slightly: "One shot, one hundred thousand taels of gold."
"..."
"Integrity service, fair price."
"..."
Very good, business can't go on. One hundred thousand taels is too expensive, I can't afford it.
In the end, Concubine Yun and the emperor broke up unhappy, and each went back to pack their packages and prepare to travel.
This time, all concubines and concubines can accompany them.
Everyone's status hasn't changed much in the past five years.
The general elections in the sixth year of Pingxi and the ninth year of Pingxi were all rejected by the emperor, and no newcomers entered the palace these two times. The next time will be the twelfth year of Pingxi, so don't worry about next year's affairs for the time being.
So now there are still those old people in the palace, everyone should be concubine or concubine, wife or wife. Only one person, Mrs. Lan has been promoted to Concubine Lan, and can enter the tourist team.
Mrs. Mei didn't come out very often since the Yu family collapsed, and the emperor didn't look for her again.
Originally the emperor was not willing to pamper other women, since Mrs. Mei was no longer of use value, he simply didn't want to go there. Anyway, no one in the palace now dares to push the highs and step down the lows, and play with the wind. Madam Mei's life will not be bad, and she can still get letters from Madam Yu from the current residence of the Yu family every six months.
She is now waiting for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and then a concubine like her can leave the palace.
Although generally speaking, a concubine without heirs can only go to the palace to continue living in the residence, but the emperor gave her a letter of approval, and she can leave in the future and choose her own residence. So she guessed that she should be free after the prince succeeds to the throne.
For example, being able to live in the Huaijing city or in the Zhuangzi under his own name around the city is much more comfortable than living in the palace and the imperial palace.
Maybe she can still take her mother to take care of her, which is better than her mother staying at Yu's house.
Although the eldest son is honest and honest, he will not embarrass Mrs. Yu. But in the past, Mrs. Yu felt sorry for the eldest son because of the old lady's relationship, and it was inevitable that the two would be awkward when they met. Moreover, the situation of the Yu family has a lot to do with Prime Minister Yu, so it is hard to guarantee that Mrs. Yu, as his wife, will not be angered by the tribe.
Mrs. Mei thought, it would be more reassuring to take her mother over and find someone to take care of her.
So now, although Mrs. Mei can't see the emperor, she is not eligible to attend the family banquet, and her status has not been raised, but she is full of confidence in the future.
You can get paid without having to work, and you can also enjoy five-star treatment. If Mrs. Mei is a nerd, she must be happy to death. What's more, she is indeed an otaku.
There are often new toys in the palace, such as mahjong, and three court ladies and eunuchs can be played at a table for a whole day, and it is not boring. Such a wonderful life, travel? No, no, she wants to stay in the Changzui Palace and play cards.
Yes, you can also bring Liu Zhaoyi, Xue Shuyuan and He Xiurong together. Anyway, everyone can't go, so let's just get together and play cards.
In the past five years, the four of them have walked around very frequently.
They are all unfavored but good-natured, and now they don't care about climbing. For example, Liu Zhaoyi, since her enemy Yu Kexin was completely dealt with, she has become a Buddha. Addicted to old-age care, do not want to compete for favor. What's more, Xue Shuyuan, who never competes for favor, eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism every day, and He Xiurong, who has been transparent since entering the palace.
The rest of the low-ranking concubines basically entered the palace with the concubine Xian. They had no way to climb up and gave up after a long time. Those who didn't give up are not doing well now, but they can't talk to Mrs. Mei, so they don't have much contact.
Five years later, Mrs. Mei lived in the main hall of Changzui Palace and did not move, and Liu Zhaoyi did not move in the side hall. Another side hall was occupied by He Xiurong, and a small palace next door lived in Xue Shuyuan who had moved over. Four people live together, and it is more convenient to visit.
The small palace where Xue Shuyuan lives now is closer to Shoukang Palace, so it is convenient for her to talk with the Queen Mother from time to time, and she is also very satisfied.
From north to south, the East Empress Palace lived in Concubine Yan, Concubine Shen, Concubine Yun, and Concubine Wei. The West Empress Palace was the four-person Buddhist group in Changzui Palace in the north. Concubine, Feiyue Palace is Concubine Xian, and Yongan Palace in the last corner is Concubine Lan.
The entire Eastern Harem is united as one, advances and retreats together, and the small palaces inside are basically empty. The West Empress Palace is divided into two factions, the Changzui Palace and the group of low-ranking concubines who gave up struggling are one faction, and the hard-working Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan are struggling hard. Concubine Fu is the only one left, and now she wants to make a fuss but is powerless.
Because, the Fu family fell.
Five years is enough to boil frogs in warm water to finish the Fu family's troubles. The reason why Concubine Fu didn't move was because it was unnecessary. Anyway, I can't find an excuse to deal with her, so let's continue to put it aside.
Usually no one pays attention to her, and she doesn't need to come forward when something happens. She didn't have a part in all the palace banquets and family banquets, as if she didn't exist in the palace.
She is eligible to go to the palace banquet, but the emperor won't let her go, so she can only stay at home. It's a pity that she is not like Mrs. Mei, she can't stay at home, so her life is a bit tormented.
But who cares about her? Concubine Lan and Concubine Xian didn't even bother to talk to her, although the two of them urgently needed allies now.
Allies can be found at any time, but Concubine Fu's behavior will not only fail to provide help, but will also slow her down, so let's forget it. Even Concubine Lan doesn't like her, let alone Concubine Xian.
But it took five years to wait. I thought that there would be new people entering the palace in the two general elections in the middle, and they would always find something that could be supported by that time... It doesn't matter if I don't mention it.
Why did the emperor suddenly push the general election? Could it be that the number of women in the harem has satisfied him, or has he had enough of the tricks and tossings of the concubine
Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan didn't know the reason, so they could only continue to work like this. At this moment, not only would it be impossible to win over Concubine Fu, but Concubine Fu was indeed useless.
The author has something to say: I went to Nanhu Fantasy Island in Chengdu today, and was scared to death by a pirate ship_(:з」∠)_
By the way, Concubine Lei, Concubine Yun, and the others disguised themselves as men and sneaked out to play? Don’t worry, I’ll just write it. After all, women’s clothing is not very convenient. The goal of two girls shopping hand in hand is too big and easy to be spotted by the emperor’s eyes and ears [Then this group of people who sneak out and play without the emperor will probably be arrested. 2333
