The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 294 It's good to have someone to lead you

Zi Nu listened carefully.

"Don't try to scheme against the king when you are around him. The king has been in power since he was thirteen years old. He can make things happen in the court, at home and abroad, with a flick of his hand. His methods and character are unmatched. Remember not to be too smart."

“There are only two kinds of people in this world, smart people and honest people, but only pure people can live well.”

"A purely smart person has the ability to bring benefits to those around him. As long as they don't go too far, even if they use some tricks, people can just ignore them, so they can live well."

"A purely honest person will not play tricks. He can be relied upon and trusted. Even if he cannot accomplish something due to incompetence, people are willing to tolerate him because they know that he is not doing it intentionally out of selfishness, so he can live a good life."

"But if you are not pure, and are neither smart nor honest, then you are just a complete fool, and you will only end up hurting yourself."

“The smartest person in the world is the one who is both smart and honest.”

Zi Nu nodded seriously: "Daughter understands, thank you for your teaching, father, I will keep it in mind."

Wei Liaoqing knew that Zi Nu was intelligent and experienced, so there was no need to dwell on this matter. He continued, "There are three queen dowagers in the palace now. You must not offend them, especially Queen Dowager Zhao. You must remember that the person you must not offend the most in the world is Queen Dowager Zhao. The three queen dowagers are all very good people. As long as you serve them respectfully, nothing will happen."

"When you have nothing to do, you must visit the three queen dowagers more often, especially Queen Dowager Zhao. As long as Queen Dowager Zhao likes you, then you will definitely be liked by the king."

Zi Nu said seriously, "My daughter understands that the king and Queen Mother Zhao have been dependent on each other since childhood, so naturally they have a deep affection for each other."

Wei Liao nodded and said, "The situation in the king's harem is complicated and involves a lot of things. You must remember what your father is going to say next and remember not to spread it to others."

Zi Nu listened carefully.

"The most respected concubine of the king is Madam Yunmeng. She is the king's first wife and the most favored one. Her cousin Madam Miyan is also highly favored. You should all know this. They are of noble birth and are representatives of the Chu family. The Queen Mother Huayang is their elder, and the Lord Changping also holds a high position in the court."

"Madam Yunmeng already has a daughter, and now she and Madam Miyan are pregnant again."

"However, it's fine as long as you don't offend them on weekdays. The Chu State will not be a threat in the future, but in the short term, remember not to offend them, and there is no need to have too much contact with them."

"But even if Chu is no longer a threat in the future, don't think about bullying Madam Yunmeng. Madam Yunmeng has always been extremely favored."

"Except for the queen, the ranks of the king's concubines from highest to lowest are Madam, Beauty, Good Wife, Eighth Son, Seventh Son, Chief Eunuch, and Junior Eunuch."

"Madam Yunmeng has been a madam since she entered the palace, and now she is the only madam with a title, which shows how honored she is."

"There are four beauties from Qin State now. Among them, Jiang Zhi is the most favored. Her family background is also the most prominent in the court of Great Qin. They are all from the powerful and noble families of Great Qin. They have always disliked beauties from other countries. You should be careful with this one."

"Madam Ying Xin of Zhao, this is not a big threat. You will know it in the future."

"And there is the beautiful lady Li Ji. She must not be underestimated. She has a close relationship with the king."

As Wei Liao spoke, he told Zi Nu all the secrets he knew.

"It's good for you to know these things. Lady Li Ji is the only beauty who has been given a title. You can tell from this that she has a special status."

Zi Nu nodded seriously.

"Moreover, after Li Ji became pregnant, scholars from Qi, Kang Shu and Wei all came to serve her. I heard that Li Ji is very intelligent and is loved by Queen Mother Zhao. She knows how to advance and retreat and know the gains and losses when dealing with people. This kind of person must not be easily offended." "In addition to them, there are some of the king's personal maids. Although their positions are not high, they are always close to the king. They must not be offended and must be treated with caution. But don't worry, they are by the king's side and have been trained very well by the king. They dare not do anything presumptuous or rude."

"And, and there is the most special person."

Wei Liao hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "As far as I know, this is the person you should never offend, except Queen Mother Zhao."

Zi Nu looked at Wei Liao being so cautious and was extremely curious, but she remained calm and waited quietly for Wei Liao to speak.

"This person is known to everyone in the world, and that is Master Nian Duan."

Zi Nu opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Wei Liao looked at Zi Nu with an expression of disbelief and gave a bitter smile: "The king is good in every way, except for this matter, he is a little, um, a little bit casual."

Zi Nu pursed her lips and said softly: "This, this is too unbelievable."

"The king's first child, Princess Yingyi, is the child of the king and Master Nian Duan. Because Master Nian Duan has a very important status and is very busy with government affairs, he is raised by Queen Mother Zhao."

"But you don't have to worry. Master Nian Duan has a special status and it is highly likely that he will not enter the Great King's harem. In addition, he is busy with political affairs. Just remember not to offend Master Nian Duan."

"You two shouldn't have any intersection. Master Nian Duan is a man of high moral character, so there's no need to worry."

Zi Nu finally calmed down. After thinking about it, this was not a big deal in the royal family.

"My daughter knows, father, don't worry. With Master Nian Duan's status, not to mention my daughter, I'm sure no one else would want to offend Master Nian Duan."

Zi Nu thought carefully in her mind. At the moment, there are not many opponents. Zi Nu is very confident in herself in all aspects. If she works together with Concubine Wei, it will not be difficult to win the king's favor.

Wei Liao nodded: "Okay, as long as you understand."

Wei Liao hesitated for a moment and said:
"If possible, it would be best for you to give birth to a son with the king as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

Although Zi Nu didn't know why, she knew that with Wei Liao's identity, he must be aware of the country's major policies, even extremely secret and extremely important national policies.
It is even more impossible for him to harm himself. Suddenly, he remembered what Wei Liao had said just now, that the king must unify the world, and his heart was filled with shock.

Could it be
Zi Nu was ecstatic and had already made up her mind.

Zi Nu nodded heavily, bowed again, and said seriously: "Father loves me, and I understand."

Wei Liao hurriedly helped Zi Nu to stand up, and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't be too restrained when you enter the palace. After all, your father is also the lieutenant of the Great Qin State, and he still has a say in front of the king. Don't think about bullying others, but never let others bully you."

"Remember, everything is in the eyes of the king, and it is right to fight without fighting."

Zi Nu nodded: "My daughter understands, father. It is getting late and you are busy with government affairs. I will take my leave first. I still have some things to arrange in Zi Lian Pavilion."

Wei Liao smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, it's curfew, take your father's token."
