During the conversation, the figures of the two people were not outside the door.
Xiao Dezi made himself feel bored, and got up from the ground listlessly.
"You just like to find trouble for nothing." Cattail took Xiao Dezi to a deserted place outside the door, and then reprimanded him in a low voice.
"Why am I looking for trouble? My master has been too comfortable recently, especially since we gave birth to two little masters. We spend our days leisurely here. Jidetang is constantly moving. You said that after the princess is completely turned over, she can Can we spare our master?"
"What are you forgiving? Our master has never done anything disrespectful to the princess. After all, she is sorry for our master. Even if she wants to find fault, she must have a reason. Besides, the empress is still there. What about the crown prince, the crown prince values the master so much, can he sit back and watch the princess bully our master?" Cattail said unconvinced.
"What do you know!" Xiao Dezi couldn't explain clearly to her, so he could only say dejectedly.
"I don't know anything, but I know that our master is extremely intelligent, and we have a prince, a queen, and two young masters. Not anyone can bully us."
"Do you really think that bullying people in the palace has to be put on the table? Didn't you see Xu Liangyuan currying favor with the Crown Princess again? And Zhao Fengyi, if the Crown Princess flatters the person surnamed Zhao, it's like she hates our master, then Isn’t it just a mad dog that is not on a leash, it can bite regardless of it.”
At the mention of this crop, Cattail became a little concerned.
"Then you said the Crown Princess would really praise that Zhao?"
"It's hard to say, even if you don't promote it now, when the relationship between the princess and the prince really eases, you will certainly be promoted. Think about it, if you were caught doing something bad before, will you go up in person next time? Sure. You have to hide behind and let others go up."
"According to this, I really have to remind the master. Forget it, don't worry about this matter, just stare outside, I will quietly mention a few words to the master."
A little Dezi walked ahead, and a cattail came behind.
After the cattails went down, Pan'er shook her head with a smile while playing with her son and daughter.
Aunt Qing said: "It also shows that these two are loyal, and they are afraid that the master will suffer."
Wanrong is lazy, no matter how mother teases her, she is unwilling to exert herself. Pan'er made two mattresses specially for the back, and wanted to let the child sit up with the help of the mattresses, but unfortunately it didn't work for Wanrong, and it annoyed her after a while, her little brow wrinkled and her mouth Li wah wah wah protested.
Aunt Qing could only pick her up, put her on her lap, and let her sit facing outward against her chest, and finally she stopped making a fuss.
The younger brother Yue'er is more obedient, it seems that he is very curious to be able to sit up, and it is rare to show a bit of naughtiness. After the plate put him in place, he propped his head up and looked around. When the balance was broken, he would fall down.
He fell down on the mattress with his face covered, but he was in a hurry, his little arms and legs scratched and pulled. Pan'er was so amused that he laughed, and he didn't forget to help him up, tidy him up, and put a small pillow on his left and right side, so that he could borrow his strength.
This made it much better, and Yue'er was finally able to sit still, showing a smile with only two teeth.
During this period, Pan'er did not forget to talk to Aunt Qing: "I understand what they mean, but you have to know, Auntie, if there is some kind of conspiracy over there, we can do something. But if it is a conspiracy, We'd better just watch quietly."
This is the biggest difference between a conspiracy and an overt conspiracy. Conspiracies are shady, and things that are shady are easy to be used by others. And Yang Mou's actions are upright and upright.
Was it wrong for Xu Liangyuan and Zhao Xiyue to get close to the princess
No, it's only natural for a concubine's room to be close to the mistress.
Is it wrong for the princess to want to flatter the two
No, if the wives and concubines in the backyard want to live in harmony, there must be reciprocity.
In fact, what Pan'er was thinking about was not this matter at all, but that last year's draft was supposed to be delayed by the Southern Tour and Taishan Festival, so he must make up for it this year.
When she was in Kunning Palace the day before yesterday, she overheard that the ship going to the south for picking was about to arrive in Tianjin, and she must be able to enter Beijing in a few days.
... Once the draft is selected, the current few people in the Prince's backyard will inevitably enter the East Palace. This is the biggest problem at present.
Pan'er was right. It didn't take long for the news of the draft to spread.
The draft of the Great Week is different from that of the previous dynasty. The draft of the previous dynasty does not take into account the origin, regardless of whether there is an official in the family, as long as the women of the right age with an innocent family background can participate in the draft.
But the draft system of the Great Week has added a rule that the daughters of families above the fifth-rank official can also participate in the draft.
Every draft is a big event in the palace, and it lasts from March to May, and it takes two full months to choose. At this time, even the chirping of birds in the palace is particularly crisp, as if this incident has brought infinite vitality to the Forbidden City.
That's not the case, after all, the draft is not only for the emperor, there are male heirs of the right age in the royal family will also take the opportunity to arrange at this time. There are also those princes who are already married, and the royal heirs are the most important. At this time, a few people will be added to any backyard.
Because it is also related to oneself, everyone pays attention to the draft.
Which beautiful girl looks good, and which family produces a good-looking and noble girl, even the little eunuchs in the palace can tell you one by one. It's like listening to a story, which gives Xiao Dezi a place to play, what kind of beautiful girl stepped on so-and-so's feet, a certain beautiful girl ran to the Imperial Garden without sleeping at night and was arrested by the guards in the palace, a certain beautiful girl The woman is very popular with a certain empress, and she has already called her to talk to her several times.
This time the selection was hosted by Empress Fu, accompanied by Concubine Gao Gui and Concubine Zhou Xian, first keep the suitable ones, and after Emperor Cheng'an and the Queen Mother have seen them, they will arrange their respective places.
The beautiful girls who can be kept are naturally first-class, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are selected from a thousand miles. Some of these people can become the emperor's concubines, and some will be given to a certain prince or a relative as a concubine. Each has its own way out, each has its own ideas, and naturally there will be many troubles.
It's fine that Pan'er has heard about it, but recently when she greeted Empress Fu, she seemed a little haggard, as if she was very tired.
"Empress, I see that you don't look very well recently, I still need to pay more attention to your body." Before leaving, Pan'er couldn't help but say something.
"I just haven't slept well at night recently, and there are too many people in the palace recently, so it's really noisy."
A little expression of concern is enough, and it's not easy to say too much, so I left with the nanny holding the baby.
After she left, Empress Fu rubbed her brows and asked Nian Chi to come over and rub her head.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Even if the daughters of the Yu family and the Jiang family cannot enter the East Palace, Concubine Zhou Xian will not be inferior to Concubine Gao. They will fight for it."
Every time there is a draft, there will also be an invisible war in the palace.
When I was young, I was afraid that newcomers would share my favor, and when I was old, I wanted to take care of my son. Of course, I don’t want a small family.
And many times, what you think is good, maybe others also think it is good, so a battle for contention comes unexpectedly. And how to fight to be good-looking, so as not to fall to the bottom, and to fulfill one's wish, it depends on each person's wrist.
"Who knows if they will join forces to suppress this palace and carve up one at the same time? No, this palace can't just sit and wait for death. Even if you can't do what you want, you can't make them cheaper. You can ask someone to go to Chuxiu Palace to arrange and choose a lead." Go to meet His Majesty. I remember that the Jiang family's daughter is light and has the reputation of Xiao Feiyan. Your Majesty likes this one the most in the past two years. Let them fight for the remaining one. In addition, the Li family... "
As soon as Pan'er walked out of the gate of Kunning Palace, she saw a group of people walking not far away.
When I got closer, I realized that it was the fifth concubine Qi.
The fifth prince has just been named the King of Yue recently, and he is about to leave the palace to build a mansion, but it will take a while to build the mansion, so he will still live in the palace.
The fifth prince's background is not high, and the concubine mother is just a court lady, and she is not favored very much. Up to now, she is only a concubine. Because Concubine Shu and Empress Fu are very close, the relationship between the prince and the fifth prince is also a little closer among the brothers.
Men are close, and women are naturally close.
Pan'er has met Qi's several times. She is gentle and shy, and she is very shy. She rarely... seldom goes out. However, in the past half a month, Pan'er has bumped into Qi's family several times in Kunning Palace, but she did not expect to meet again today.
"Five princes and concubines."
"Little sister-in-law."
Speaking of this little third sister-in-law, there is a bit of history. It was once during the Chinese New Year that the fifth prince called her so, and Qi followed suit. But Qi never called it that way in front of people, and it will be like this in queens.
She and Pan'er can't be said to have a very close relationship. They were probably arranged to sit together a few times at the New Year's Palace banquet before. In addition, their temperaments are both quiet and low-key, so You can also say a few words when you meet.
"Are you here to greet the Empress? Your Majesty is here."
Qi nodded implicitly, as a tacit consent.
After that, the two didn't talk much, and went their separate ways.
Pan'er sighed faintly in her heart, she knew why the Qi family had been running to Kunning Palace so frequently recently, and this had something to do with Concubine Shu.
When the fifth prince married the main concubine, because the concubine Shu's mother and son were not favored in the palace, they were relatively transparent existences, so when the fifth prince was selected, the concubine was not selected from a high family.
The Qi family is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official family in Beijing.
It is said that the Fifth Prince Concubine was still in the fancy of Empress Fu, and Concubine Shu also nodded her head before deciding on it. It may be because the son has grown up in the past two years, and since the crown prince entered the court, the fifth prince has been honored by his side and also received errands. Now Concubine Shu feels that her son has some abilities, so she is faintly dissatisfied status quo.
The last time Pan'er came to listen to him, it seemed that Concubine Shu deliberately chose a side concubine with a higher status for the fifth prince.
So there are some reasons why some people don't get ahead in the palace. For example, this concubine Shu, her daughter-in-law is not of high birth, so what is she trying to do with a side concubine with a higher status? I'm afraid the house is not too chaotic.
These were Empress Fu's original words, and Pan'er listened to them when she entered. Empress Fu was very dissatisfied with this, but she couldn't beat Concubine Shu.
No, the Qi family probably also knew about this, and recently she kept running to Kunning Palace, probably to get Empress Fu to dispel this idea, but she didn't know how to say it.
The above is just Pan'er's speculation based on what she has, but she thinks it's pretty much the same.
In the previous life, King Yue also had a close relationship with Emperor Jianping. She remembered that there was an uneasy concubine in the Palace of King Yue in the previous life, but this matter did not reach her. To her, it was like a forgettable story. Followed.
But she knew that the Yue Wangfei in her previous life died young, and later that uneasy side concubine was helped. It was because others talked about it that she had a preliminary impression of Yue Wangfei. She couldn't get used to seeing the live fifth prince and concubine at the palace banquet before, and she got better after meeting a few times later.
This draft has disturbed more than one person's heart, but Pan'er felt that with the character and way of dealing with things like the Fifth Prince's Concubine, it might not be able to stop anything.
It's just that this matter has nothing to do with her, but just look at it.
Bustling and bustling, May has passed, and in time for the hottest time of the year, the draft is finally over.
Not to mention a few beauties, Emperor Cheng'an added two beauties to each of Qi Wang's Mansion, Chu Wang's Mansion and Yan Wang's Mansion, as well as two people in the five prince's courtyards in Qianxi.
The East Palace had the most people entering, with a total of four people entering.
Originally, Empress Fu ordered two people, but who knows that the Queen Mother also rewarded two people. It is said that the Crown Princess begged the Queen Mother, saying that the descendants of the Eastern Palace were weak, so the Queen Mother rewarded two people.
