It's true that I can't sit still, at least the East Chamber is in a hurry.
For several days, Mammy Zhao had a fit of slavery in the yard. Naturally, they were not brought into the palace, but assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Living in the same yard, if there is any noise here, it is inevitable to hear the sound over there. That's all for Pan'er, she knew well that the prince would definitely make a face for the princess when the newcomer came in, and whether he would come to this courtyard in a while, but the people below couldn't sit still.
No, even Aunt Qing secretly discussed with her whether she should find a way, but it was hard for Pan Er to say clearly, so she could only say that she was not in a hurry. Just as he was talking, Bai Shu came in to report that Xiao Dezi was asking to see him, Pan'er calculated the time in his heart, thinking that it was about time.
Not long after, Xiao Dezi came in, and kowtowed to Pan'er at the door.
"Get up, what's the matter?"
Xiao Dezi hurriedly got up and came to the edge of the kang and stood bent over.
"The slave just found out that Ji Detang is ordering people to ask the masters about their little days in each courtyard."
He spoke in a soft voice, especially in a low voice. This kind of voice and distance gave people the feeling that he and Pan'er were talking privately. People in the palace are like this, they never forget to create momentum for themselves, and this momentum is naturally created for others to see, so that people feel that they are close to their master, and others dare not underestimate them.
"Our palace is not the same as that of Ganxi No. 5. The days of the masters are arranged by the princess at the beginning of each month. First, I asked about the small days of the masters last month, and followed the example to avoid Xiaotian arranges the days for the masters to serve the bed next month. In the past, there were six masters in our palace, five days each, and five days for the crown princess. Now there are two more, I am afraid that the palace will not be too busy these days. calm."
Xiao Dezi stopped talking, he was waiting for Pan'er to ask further questions, and he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would cause trouble for himself, but in fact Pan'er knew about it.
This rule was set by the Crown Princess, who said it was to prevent wives and concubines from competing for favor, which would harm the harmony of the world, so the days when everyone would sleep in bed were set in advance.
Therefore, there is also a special glazed lamp in the East Palace, which is hung outside the yard of the person whose turn it is to sleep. This is convenient for the prince to come to the backyard to remember where he should rest tonight. After all, the prince is not like the emperor, and he has a green head card or something.
Of course, if the prince insists on going to other places, there is no other way. But as far as Pan'er knew, this kind of thing had never happened, at least not in his previous life. The prince has always given face to the princess, and she will not be ashamed in this matter, but Pan'er also wonders if it is because of this that the prince is not very enthusiastic about coming to the backyard, and is very indifferent.
Because of this action, the Crown Princess gained a good name in the palace. Concubine Zhou Gui and Concubine Gao Xian said a lot to Princess Qi and Princess Chu, in order to let them learn more about the generosity of the Crown Princess.
However, Pan'er knew that the Crown Princess had other purposes for this move, so I won't go into details here.
Whether a woman in the harem is favored or not, she is directly linked to her servant. The servant is not only related to favor, but also related to her offspring. No woman in this palace wants to have an heir, and with an heir, there will be a future.
No wonder Xiao Dezi came here in a hurry, this should be the most concerned thing in this courtyard at present. It really is clever!
"Has someone come to our courtyard to ask?" Pan'er's question was on point.
Bai Shu lowered his head, Xiao Dezi also shrunk his neck, only Aunt Qing looked thoughtful.
Finally, Xiao Dezi spoke.
"Not yet, maybe it will be our turn later."
late
If he came later, why did Xiao Dezi come to look for him in such a hurry? I went to all the other yards, but I didn't come to this yard. The meaning of Jidetang was very clear. They deliberately held them back and waited for them to go over and vote for their certificates.
Ever since Da Pan'er and Zhao Xiyue entered the East Palace, the Crown Princess never took the initiative to keep them talking, and the two were too 'quiet and honest'.
Let Pan'er think about it, Zhao Xiyue is probably still arrogant, and it's because the eldest wife and the second wife are too tense, she doesn't want to bow her head to the princess. As for Pan'er herself, she wished she could stay away from the princess, so naturally she didn't want to cause trouble.
Now if I don't go, I will go to the mountain, and the mountain forces you to go.
"Why don't you go and sit with the princess?" Xiao Dezi suggested in a low voice. It is estimated that these words have been buried in his heart for a long time, and he only said them at this time.
"Let's see what's happening on the other side first."
In fact, Paner made up his mind not to go.
The same topic is also going on in the opposite East Wing.
But it was already afternoon, and the news in the East Wing was not as good as that in the West Wing. And Zhao Xiyue was not as calm as Pan'er, her teeth almost shattered after listening to it.
"What the hell is she trying to do? Retaliation? Deliberately embarrassing me?"
Zhao Xiyue's nanny Zhao Momo persuaded in a low voice: "Girl, please keep your voice down, if those people hear it, and when it gets out, I don't know how she will put shoes on for you."
Zhao Xiyue had a straight face, but tears were rolling in her eyes: "What else should I wear? On the second day after I came here, I took my close girl to my face. It has been more than ten days since I entered the house, and she didn't persuade the crown prince. Come to my room, and now she doesn't even plan to arrange a bed for me, she is trying to force me to beg her."
With a bitter face on her face, Mother Zhao sighed and said, "Why don't we? Let's go and beg? People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Let's take advantage of her to find opportunities to sleep with her. After the girl is pregnant, of course we don't have to." Go ask her again."
"She didn't have a son herself, can she let me have one?"
"Isn't Hu Liangdi pregnant? This palace is not like the outside. It also pays attention to the fact that the mistress has not given birth to a legitimate son, and concubines are not allowed to conceive. The royal family pays great attention to offspring. She has been married for five years. Isn't she even married?" Didn't lay any eggs, if she can give birth, can she still carry the girl and the one across the door?"
After hearing Zhao Mama's words, Zhao Xiyue thought about it and felt that it was the same reason.
"The Chen family wanted us to give birth to a son, and wanted to raise her." Zhao Xiyue knew about this a long time ago, and the eldest lady also made it clear to her.
"So what if I hug you, as long as your own mother is still there, who can go past you? You are different from others. No matter how much she hates her heart, she will not dare to attack you. Otherwise, the relationship between the Chen and Zhao families It's broken. And when the child is born, she can't help her. You accepted the favor and gave birth to a son for the crown prince. When the time comes, you will beg to be by your side. Forgive her for not daring to take it away. "
"But don't forget, there's another one on the opposite side. Rather than letting me give birth, it's better to let the one on the other side be born. The one on the other side has no one to rely on. She said she was adopted by a salt merchant surnamed Pei as a righteous sister, but she is actually an outsider. Outsiders can handle it better."
"That's why you have to take the lead. When you win over the crown prince, there is nothing about the person opposite. Now it is false to say anything else, and it is true to have favor." Zhao Nanny vowed.
After Zhao Xiyue was persuaded by her like this, her mind became alive again.
"Then I'll go right away?"
"Early, not late." Mother Zhao agreed. He also called Yuping and Yuxia to come in to dress up Zhao Xiyue. As for the few people assigned by the House of Internal Affairs, Zhao Xiyue has not asked them to come in to serve until now.
After tidying up, Zhao Xiyue hesitated again.
"Let's wait, so as not to be looked at by the other side, she should laugh at me somehow in her heart."
Zhao Nanny hurriedly pulled her up: "My girl, is this the time to care about face? Laughing at her? When you have a pet, but the other side doesn't, that's the time for you to laugh at her."
Just like that, Zhao Xiyue was pushed out of the room by Mother Zhao, and Yuping was also asked to follow her carefully. As soon as she left, the news reached Pan'er's ears.
Even Aunt Qing couldn't sit still.
"Master, why don't you go sit down too?"
Pan'er was full of helplessness: "Auntie, just trust me once, okay? Don't worry."
After she said that, Aunt Qing could only listen.
After Zhao Xiyue went to Jidetang, it is said that she was very happy when she came back.
I didn't see any commotion in the east chamber, so it should be smooth.
After that, every time she went to pay her respects for a few days, she had to excuse herself to stay a little longer, and even occasionally went to talk to the princess in the afternoon when she had nothing to do.
This movement not only fell into the eyes of Pan'er, but also fell into the eyes of other people.
As a result, the eyes of other people looking at the board became more and more strange.
It should also be strange, even though there are only a few people in the East Palace, everyone usually stays at home, but in fact, every time a newcomer comes, it only takes a day or two to find out the other party's background. Everyone knows where Pan'er came from and what he's here for.
She was supposed to be eager to curry favor with the princess, but she just didn't move. On the contrary, Zhao Xiyue usually puts on a high air, but she never expected that she would be very courteous after putting down her figure.
When I went to invite An to meet again, Hu Liangdi couldn't help ridiculing Zhao Xiyue.
But Hu Liangdi is also a capable person, even if she sarcastically said something, it was hard to catch, Zhao Xiyue could only suffer in vain. After returning to the courtyard, he vented his anger on the servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then turned around and went to Jidetang again.
This kind of day lasted for a few days, and on the last day of the month, the bedtime was scheduled.
Not only Zhao Xiyue, but also Pan'er.
The Crown Princess has always prided herself on being fair, no matter what she does in private, she will never be caught on the surface. However, Zhao Xiyue's dedication was not in vain, her life was clearly at the forefront.
Now that Hu Liangdi is pregnant, naturally she can't sleep with her, besides her, there are seven other people, each of them will spend four days, and the remaining two or three days, the crown prince can take care of himself.
The crown princess is in the first and second grades of junior high school, and Zhao Xiyue's four days are divided into two parts, namely the third and fourth grades of junior high and the tenth and eleventh grades of junior high.
Pan'er, on the other hand, was ranked in the middle and late ten days, which were 17, 18 and 28, 29 respectively. Judging by the order of the bed arrangement, everyone in the East Palace should know who is gaining face in front of the princess. As for Pan'er, he only needs to write four large characters 'not welcome' on his face.
Xiao Dezi was fairly well informed, and after going out for a walk, he found out about everyone's bedtimes.
After hearing Xiao Dezi's words, Aunt Qing's expression was uncertain.
But in front of Xiao Dezi, she didn't say anything, but turned her head and pulled Pan'er into the room.
"Master, based on your days, the Crown Princess probably not only doesn't want to see you, but also wants to make you pregnant. You have to think of a way."
Pan'er couldn't help smiling, and shook his head helplessly.
In fact, she didn't know about it at the beginning, it was only after serving the prince for a while in her previous life that she discovered that the day when the princess arranged for someone to sleep in was very meaningful.
Nowadays, people always think that women are most likely to get pregnant before and after menstruation, so in general, the day when the mistress or the concubine of the palace respects the room and concubine goes to bed, whoever has the face, who has power, and who spends more money, will take the time to go to bed with him. Quite the opposite is the case these days.
It's just that there are not many people who know about it, and Pan'er is just one of them.
The reason why Pan'er knew was because Aunt Qing told her.
Aunt Qing came from a dusty background, and women from brothels greeted her every day, what she was most afraid of was the dark knot in the fetus. As for the best brothel girls, they were trained in the brothels since they were young. Not only do they have to sell for a lot of money in the first night, but the price of serving customers in the future is much higher than that of ordinary prostitutes.
If there is a noble person to help redeem the body, it will be a big profit, so the old bustard will not kill the business. Giving sterilization pills to the girls in the building is something that only low-class prostitutes do. Usually, they rely on avoiding child soup and counting days to control pregnancy.
In this way, if someone helps to redeem the body in the future, he can still give birth to heirs, so as not to be old and homeless. So if we want to say who in this world can grasp this accurately, we must count the people who specialize in these skills.
Aunt Qing took pity on Pan'er and told her about these things in private earlier, because she knew that Pan'er would only be a concubine in the future. For the sake of the future, she naturally had to give birth to an heir early to avoid delay.
That's why Aunt Qing could see what the Crown Princess was thinking at a glance, but she didn't know that the Crown Princess didn't just deal with Pan'er like this, but other people also dealt with it like this.
Relying on this hand, and the fragrant tea from the second wife's family, whoever the princess wants to have a body can have it, and whoever she wants to prevent it will not be born.
The prince is in good health, so why should he stay here even though he only has three daughters so far.
But there are always exceptions to everything, and Hu Liangdi is considered an exception. Pan'er guessed that Hu Liangdi probably also discovered the strangeness, so she was able to conceive one after another.
As for Xu Liangyuan, even though Pan'er was not there at the time, she could guess the general situation.
When Xu Liangyuan entered the door, it was the time when the Empress Dowager of the East Palace was under great pressure. Xu Liangyuan surrendered as soon as she entered the door, and the Crown Princess would naturally praise her. If Xu Liangyuan's birth was a son, the child must have been taken away by the princess, and it was only because she was a daughter that she could stay.
The author has something to say: In the next chapter, the prince will go online.
