Eldest daughter

Chapter 398
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Wangshi Qing'er, the niece of Prince Erdong of Jixian County, Tongzhou, is gentle, dignified and gracious... I am deeply comforted. I canonize her as a noble person and give her title to celebrate. I bestow it upon you!"

"Mr. Qing, come forward to receive the order!" The father-in-law said with a smile after finishing the reading.
Wang Qing'er's head buzzed, and she raised her hands high: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Wang Yuan'er knelt at the back, raised her head slightly, and watched her sister kneel and walk forward to receive the imperial edict, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.

From now on, Qing'er is a member of the royal family, a nobleman, to put it nicely, a concubine.

If her fate is good and she will be honored in the future, it is estimated that the sisters will meet again, if not, then maybe it is just adding another soul to the imperial city.
Wang Yuaner felt disappointed and let out a long sigh.
Over there, Concubine Rong rewarded the father-in-law who came to declare the decree, and then she smiled and said to Wang Qing'er: "My good sister, we will be sisters in the future, and you and I will live in the same palace again. My sister will ask you to call you sister, you and me How about being called a sister in the future?"

Wang Qing'er blessed Fushen: "Thank you, Sister Rong." Then she looked towards Wang Yuan'er.

Concubine Rong gave her a few more instructions, and then went back to the main hall, and after a while, sent someone to bring over two bolts of pine cloth and some jewelry.

"Eldest sister, I, I am a noble lady!" Wang Qing'er said with tears in her eyes, a little excited.

She never dreamed that one day she would become the emperor's woman, a noble empress!
Back then, she saw those beautiful girls entering the palace, how envious she was, but now, she has become one of them!
Seeing the smile on her face, Wang Yuan'er felt a pain in her heart. She couldn't stay for a long time. Now that she was canonized, there would be concubines sending people to give gifts one after another. How could she stay here.

There were thousands of words, but Wang Yuan'er didn't know how to say to her, saying: "Elder sister is leaving, you have to take care of yourself!" Then he took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and stuffed them into her hand: "I came in a hurry, the family's There is not much silver, it is all raised from the bank account. The people in this palace are all snobbish with red tops and white eyes, and there are many places to manage and use silver. It is a pity that our family is not a wealthy family. I can give you so much, you keep it yourself, be careful in everything."
Wang Qing'er was startled, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Sister, this is absolutely impossible, I have food and clothing here, and I don't need money."

"You are obedient, money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and the reward money must always be distributed to others, right? You remember, the palace is no better than the outside, and a strong temper is not a good thing. Be careful in everything yourself. Now, no one can help you. Now, you can only go on your own in the future!" Wang Yuan'er's eyes were red.

Also at this moment, Hong Ying stepped forward and reported that there was a young eunuch Lin coming outside to lead Wang Yuaner out of the palace, and Wang Yuaner knew that this was Cui Yuan's intention.

She really can't stay anymore!
Wang Qing'er felt both warm and terrified in her heart, and subconsciously grabbed her sleeve: "Eldest sister, don't...can you sit a little longer?"

Wang Yuaner looked pitifully, shook his head, and said, "At home, you don't have to worry, take care of yourself."

Wang Qing'er's tears fell down: "Eldest sister, you have to entrust more letters in, Cui Yuan will definitely find a way to pass them to me."

Wang Yuaner pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Big girl." Sujuan stepped forward, her eyes flushed.

"Sujuan, do you want to go back with me, or stay in the palace to serve your third aunt...the noble lady? If you want to go back, just wait for a few days, and I will have someone take you out." Wang Yuan'er looked at her and said.

"Sujuan, if you are willing to serve me, I will not treat you badly in the future!" Wang Qing'er also looked at Sujuan, with pleading eyes. In the palace, she is really the only one.

Sujuan was caught in a dilemma, she looked at Wang Yuan'er, and then at Wang Qing'er who was pleading.

She also misses her family very much. When she came out with Wang Qing'er, she never thought that she would enter the palace. She knew what it meant to be in the palace.

There are only two ways to stay in the palace forever, one is to follow the master until death, and the other is to become the emperor's woman, just like the third girl.

When the emperor's woman...

Sujuan bit her lip, her face flushed red.

Wang Yuan'er frowned, and glanced at Wang Qing'er with deep eyes.

Wang Qing'er also looked at it, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: "It's my power, Sujuan, you also have family members, how could you stay with me in the palace, you should go back with eldest sister!"

"That's right, before you came here, your mother often talked about you and said she missed you." It's not that she has never heard of the girl climbing into the master's bed. She didn't want Qing'er to be alone in this palace while Be betrayed.

Sujuan's expression just now, I hope she is wrong, but take precautions before it happens, if you can stop it, let's stop it!

"I, I..." Sujuan didn't expect Wang Yuaner and sisters to change their minds so quickly, and felt a little anxious.

I have signed a contract of selling myself, and my parents want to be domestic servants in the Wang family, so the way out for their siblings in the future will either be randomly assigned by the master, and their children will also be born as servants in the future.

Is this what you want?No!
Sujuan's head became hot, and she blurted out: "Miss, I am willing to stay by the noble lady's side and serve her!"

Wang Yuan'er and Wang Qing'er exchanged glances, both feeling slightly depressed.

"Have you thought about it? There are traps and dangers everywhere in the palace. If you are not careful, you will lose your life." Wang Yuan'er lowered her voice.

Sujuan shuddered, but still said: "I, I'm not afraid, I can't let the noble lady here alone."

Wang Yuaner stared at her fixedly for a while, until she felt a little guilty, and said, "That's fine if you decide, you serve your noble family with all your heart, and I won't treat your parents, siblings, and others badly. But If you betray the Lord... then you have to think about your parents!"

Sujuan's heart trembled, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud: "I dare not!"

Wang Yuan'er sighed softly in his heart, and said: "Get up, if you serve the Lord wholeheartedly, there will be a good way out in the future."

Speaking of which, what to do, how to choose, is up to her!

Sujuan obediently agreed, and stood by.

"Your Excellency, Eunuch Xiao Lin is urging you!" Hong Ying came over to urge her.

"Elder Sister." Wang Qing'er was extremely reluctant and went to shake her hand.

Wang Yuan'er took her hand instead, walked towards the gate of the palace, and said: "I really have to leave, you take care of yourself, in the palace, you must never argue with others, and you have to go through a sentence before you say it, don't Trust others easily, the people here are all good people, understand?" She said, lowering her voice again, and said in a barely audible way: "Sujuan, you should also pay attention, and you should dismiss what should be dismissed, in this In other places, if you are soft-hearted to others, you are cruel to yourself.”

Wang Qing'er nodded with a sullen face, and said: "Eldest sister, Cui Yuan is a minister. After you marry him, you will definitely enter the palace. Eldest sister wants to come and see me."

Wang Yuan'er hadn't thought of this yet, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just said: "If you want me to watch you, then you have to take good care of yourself!"

"Sister, I understand!"

"Don't give it away." Wang Yuan'er walked out of the palace gate and grabbed Wang Qing'er's hand.

"Elder Sister." Wang Qing'er's eyes were reddened, full of reluctance.

But at this moment, another eunuch came, this is the eunuch in charge of personnel affairs, and he was sending messengers over, so they surrounded Wang Qing'er.

Wang Yuan'er watched from a distance, through the crowd, her younger sister's eyes also looked over, her heart was pierced immediately.

"Girl, it's time to go!"

Wang Yuan'er had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave.

Things have come to this point, she can only think that Qing'er married far, far away, maybe it will be difficult to see each other again, or maybe she will never see her again.

Wang Yuan'er's tears fell like a missing dike.

There is no red wedding dress, no suona firecrackers, no farewell to the elders, her younger sister has been from someone else's family since then.

Wang Yuan'er has been struggling to get out of the palace, and when she saw Cui Yuan, she couldn't hold on any longer, and passed out crying in his arms.

Imperial Palace, Chaoyang Palace.

Empress Wen was leaning softly on the beauty's collapsed big pillow, with her eyes slightly closed, a little maid at her feet was gently beating her legs with a beauty hammer, and beside the couch, there was another female official who was reporting something, This is the confidant female official next to Empress Wen.

"Is it a nobleman? Still have a title?" Queen Wen asked with half-opened eyes.

"If you go back to your mother, it's Mrs. Qing." The female officer replied with a low eyebrow.

"Is the emperor doting on her or wanting to roast her on the oil rack?" Empress Wen snorted softly, "For a folk woman, to give her such an honor, I think it's just a person who promises to flatter her."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Qing's direct elder sister is the one Mrs. Cui wants to marry." The female officer said again suddenly.

"Oh?" Queen Wen was taken aback.

The female officer whispered a few words in her ear, Empress Wen's face was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"This is a lucky one." Empress Wen pondered for a moment, and said: "They are all sisters who serve the emperor, and reward her with a jade ruyi and four pieces of cloud brocade..."

Empress Wen ordered the rewards given to Wang Qing'er, and the female officer wrote them down one by one.

"Let Mrs. Qing come in when she comes to Chen Xing tomorrow." After giving the order, Empress Wen said again.

The female official was taken aback, since the empress had a dragon son, Xian Xiao received the concubines from various palaces to make peace in the morning and evening, and now she is just a noble person without foundation.

"Ms. Qing is not enough, but Cui Yuan behind her can be wooed. The Xianfu Palace is becoming more and more arrogant. I have to plan for our mother and son." Empress Wen said plainly, rubbing her stomach.

"Your Majesty is wise!" the female officer hurriedly flattered her.

With the reward from Chaoyang Palace, the rewards from other palaces followed, Wang Qing'er was too busy to thank her for her kindness.In the evening, another Concubine Rong asked her to go to pay respects to the Empress Chen Xing the next day. The newly conferred concubine had to go to thank Chaoyang. Concubine Rong inquired about the situation of the various palaces, and since then began the days of intrigue in the palace.
