Chapter 122 Silver
Sometimes, no matter what you think in your heart, what you show on your face is very important.
Especially when the person sitting opposite her really needs her to make a commitment.
Yao Jinse is an insignificant little person, at least in the eyes of many people in the harem. After all, her appearance is not outstanding, at most she can be considered pretty. Among the people in the harem, she is not too young, and the emperor rarely favors her. The reason why she is valued by the imperial concubine is only because she has a daughter.
After all, it is because there are too few children in the harem, so people with children are always extra special, but for the vast majority of people in the harem, daughters are nothing. If there are really no children, then having a daughter is a good thing, but if there is a prince, that is a real support.
Yao Jinse never thought so.
This was the first time she had a child in her two lives. Although she had not experienced the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, she was still related by blood. Sometimes, she felt very happy when looking at the child. It seemed that as long as the child could grow up safely, all her hard work would be worth it.
Moreover, this child can not only serve as a bargaining chip for her to be valued by the imperial concubine, but also serve as a bridge for her to get closer to the queen.
The queen also has a daughter.
Until the end of the original story, the queen did not have a second child, and the daughter's final ending was relatively good. The queen had been scheming for half her life, and although she was a loser in the end, she finally found a good support for her daughter.
As a royal princess, as long as she doesn't do anything rebellious, her life will be good.
He expressed his "sincere heart" of being willing to follow the Queen, and chatted with her, asking her for advice on how to take care of the princess. The Queen was a little surprised at Yao Jinse's advice, but after thinking about it, she understood that a woman like Yao Jinse, who might not have an outstanding appearance, would naturally have other advantages to make up for it, otherwise the Emperor would not have remembered such a person in his heart.
Moreover, after talking so much today, even Shen Qingyin felt that talking to Concubine Yao was an easy job, not as difficult as she had expected. Although Yao's family background was not high, she was very good at talking. No wonder the imperial concubine looked at her a few more times. It was indeed relaxing and pleasant to have such a person around to talk to and relieve boredom.
"Okay," after talking for a while, the queen found an opportunity to end the topic: "You are in charge of Yuxiu Palace now, you should hurry up and move to the main hall. It won't be long before the princess turns one year old. It will be troublesome to confer the title of Shang Yudie by then. It is not appropriate for her to live in the side hall."
What this means is that Yao Jinse will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted later.
Yao Jinse looked grateful on the surface, but she sneered in her heart as she bowed and took her leave. She had seen a lot of such pie-in-the-sky jobs, and whether they could be fulfilled in the end was a question. If she really did something for such illusory benefits, then she would be a fool.
After leaving Kunning Palace, she went to Chengqian Palace and told Concubine Rong everything from beginning to end, simplifying the part about expressing loyalty to the Queen. Concubine Rong didn't say anything about this matter, but just asked her to adapt herself and come to her if there was anything.
Yao Jinse looked at the Imperial Concubine who was concentrating on reading a book, and she knew that Imperial Concubine Rong really had no other thoughts. Now that the dirty things in the past had been taken away by Concubine Yi, the Imperial Concubine had become a clean and innocent beauty again. It would be best for her to reconcile her relationship with the Emperor and have a baby as soon as possible. Even if she said that she would help Yao Jinse, Yao Jinse didn't quite believe it.
Anyway, she had discussed this with the Imperial Concubine, and after this, the Imperial Concubine wouldn't be able to find any fault.
When they left Chengqian Palace and returned to their own Yuxiu Palace, the palace servants, led by Bai Tao, had already cleaned up the main hall. Only some of Yao Jinse's personal belongings were placed on the table wrapped in cloth, and the little girl Bai Shuang was watching on the side like a kitten.
"Everything has been packed. When the young lady went to Chengqian Palace, Miss Xia Zhu who was beside the Queen came over and specifically told her that the princess is young and weak, so she should continue to live in the side hall and there is no need to move." Anyway, there is no one else coming in to live with her now, and Yuxiu Palace is a big place, so it is reasonable for the princess to live alone.
Isn’t the Queen’s eldest princess also living in the back hall of Kunning Palace now?
The six palaces in the east and west are the residences of the concubines, but there is also a circle of pavilions and towers outside for the concubines and their children to live in. There are few people in the palace now, but in the previous dynasty when there were many people, it was inconvenient for the princes and princesses to live with their mothers, so it was very common for them to live with the concubines dowagers.
It is true that each room in the palace is not big, but it is also true that there are many rooms. As long as you clean up, there will always be a place for people to live.
Yao Jinse nodded, went to see the princess, came back and hid her bag of things deep inside the bed, and then had someone serve the meal.
After all this trouble, the morning has just passed.
The imperial kitchen had already delivered lunch and it was being warmed in the small kitchen. Yao Jinse was now the undisputed mistress of the palace. After spending half a year in the palace, she could finally see the daylight.
At least from now on, behind closed doors, she has the final say in this yard.
After dinner, Yao Jinse took Bai Tan and Bai Tao for a walk in Yuxiu Palace. The autumn season was almost over, and the golden osmanthus in the palace and the peach blossoms outside were about to wither, leaving the palace bare and unsightly.
Yao Jinse thought about replacing the trees inside so that they would be worth seeing all year round. However, these things have to be done by professionals. Yao Jinse has just started to take charge, so it is not advisable to be too ostentatious. Once this batch of osmanthus flowers have completely fallen, she will be able to do these things with ease when her power is consolidated.
"Any news from outside these days?"
She has been busy with palace affairs these past two days and has had less contact with her family outside. Now that she has some time, she wants to ask about the current situation at home.
"Don't worry, young lady. Everything is going well outside. Eunuch Xiaochi came back to deliver something a few days ago."
It was said that something was handed over, but in fact, a roll of silver bills was sent in. Yao Jinse was busy with these things in the past two days, so Bai Tao naturally took them and entered them into the internal account - this was also the rule that had been set when the original owner was still there. Any account involving silver and money needed to be recorded with her.
If time is urgent, you can do it on your own and report back later.
Bai Tan and Bai Tao are both servants born in the family. She shares their success and failure. If she cannot trust either of them, then Yao Jinse will be truly helpless in this palace.
She is trustworthy and at ease.
