Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 153

In the 25th year of Xijia, on March 25th, a new batch of beautiful women entered the palace.There are not many people in this draft.It should be much easier than when Xijia had 600 people pass the primary election in eight years, leaving 36 re-elections, and then the tragedy of six women entering the palace in that session.

Ruidi started drafting at the age of 17, and now he is 40 years old. In 23 years, he has experienced it seven times.For this eighth time, naturally, there is not much interest.

Moreover, he himself has a strict and self-disciplined temperament, and in the harem he also favors high-ranking concubines with sons.Therefore, his harem is really not abundant.

His heirs are not small, ten princes and ten princesses.The two eldest among the princes have been named kings and have begun to participate in politics.

The power of the aristocratic family was rectified by him, so he dared not say much, and most of the patriarchs of the aristocratic family knew that this master was a nostalgic person, and he didn't mention sending women into the palace to be obsessed with him.

Most of the noble daughters from aristocratic families came here to marry after the draft.You must know that this year's two princes who are crowned kings and the fifth prince who is already a beizi have not yet married.

Although the royal family always accepts the side concubine first, and is marrying the main concubine.But there are exceptions. Back then, the Eighth Prince directly married the Eighth Princess.

Taking a step back, there is nothing wrong with being chosen as a side concubine who can enter the Jade Document.In the future, who will win the deer will depend on their own ability?
Look at the concubine Shujia who is under one person and above ten thousand in the harem today, isn't it the best example.

She entered the palace in the eighth year of Xijia, six years later than Concubine Dezhuang and the two wives who were also noble concubines.But Leng came from behind, with favors, sons, and power.

It doesn't make sense that their daughter can't make a difference in the position of side concubine.

The wives of the aristocratic family, for their daughter's marriage and the future favor of the family, handed over signs to the palace one after another, wanting to meet the two noble concubines.

Unfortunately, Concubine Shujia was still in confinement, so naturally, except for her natal family, she was gone.

Concubine Dezhuang, on the other hand, received the lady of the family's visit reasonably and impartially, but she got a lot of applause, saying that Concubine Degui treats people kindly and teaches her children well.

The news spread to the harem, and the women in the harem made many jokes in private.This Concubine De Gui is crazy about wanting a good reputation, and she is still kind to others with her arrogant and domineering temperament?
It was just a human skin mask put on to choose a concubine for her son.I also know which family is stupid enough to be confused by her, and send their daughter to be her daughter-in-law, so that she can learn from it.

Speaking of which, Concubine Jia became depressed after confinement.Although she holds the Phoenix Seal, Madam Huimin handles most of the affairs in the palace.

Of course, the big event of the draft is indispensable for the imperial concubine.The re-selection will be at the end of April, when Concubine Jia will be confinement.So the emperor still handed over the selection to Concubine Jia and Mrs. Huimin, and Concubine Degui and Mrs. Duanxian assisted.

Xiu Nu still followed the rules of the primary election, took a mule cart, served in a unified manner, and set off from Di'anmen at sunset, and entered through Shenwumen.Then there will be eunuchs guide them into the Shunzhen Gate of the Inner Palace in order to conduct three primary elections.

This year's show girl still passed the primary election, and the number of people left was more than half less than before.The original team of 300 people was reduced to 100 people after the primary election.

These 100 people will live in the palace for a period of time, waiting for re-election.

Among the 100 people, the ladies sent by the noble families are especially concerned by the palaces. These noble daughters from the noble families must be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and it is not bad to be able to give favors in advance.

Among the aristocratic families, the Li family, the Chen family, the Lu family, the Liu family, the Nalan family, and the Du family all have their daughters entering the palace this year, but the other families entering the palace for drafts are for marriage and the prince. The Liu family and the Nalan family are afraid He wants to continue to send women into the palace to be favored.

After all, the death of the Daliu family and the Xiao Nalan family, the power of the two families in the palace was hit, and the family outside the palace was powerless, so they could only hope that they would support the family after entering the palace with their daughters.

But their wishful thinking probably won't go well. Emperor Rui and Concubine Shujia took great efforts to bring down most of these two forces. Wouldn't it be too stupid to give them a chance to redeem and plan?

Rookie girls still live in Mingxiang Garden for one month as usual, waiting for re-election.And this month of living in the inner palace is the time for the show girls to show their true skills.

At that time, it will not only be fighting among beautiful women, but also guard against high-ranking concubines.You must know that the high-ranking people can make them disappear in the harem without a sound by moving their fingers.

The roster is now being looked at in the hands of the four masters, and the performance and importance of each palace are also different.

Let's take a look at the two concubines first.

Linzhi Palace, where the noble concubine Dezhuang lives.

Concubine Dezhuang looked through the roster in her hand, checking and staying on the names of women from the aristocratic family.

The women that Concubine Dezhuang cared about were no more than those few families.Her son, Prince Ying, is going to choose a concubine this year, and she plans to choose a side concubine first.The son had just been crowned prince, and the noble concubine Dezhuang wanted to walk sideways in the palace.

In her opinion, her son deserves the best, and women from aristocratic families elevate their status by being concubines to their sons.

Among these people, she is most optimistic about her niece and the first daughter of the Lu family.

The niece of Li Shi, the imperial concubine of Dezhuang, is the youngest daughter of her fourth brother.Her sister-in-law can also be regarded as an old mussel, and she gave birth to her niece when she was almost 32.

The young lady of the Li family is only 13 years old this year. Looking at a group of children, she grew up pampered. There are many concubines and concubines in the family. This young lady who is born in the first place is not capable, and there is no way to overwhelm them and win the love of the whole family. Thus drafted into the palace.

The grandmother of this daughter-in-law, regardless of her old age, went to the palace to beg her daughter in person, in order to be able to send her daughter to ask for a good marriage.And the best marriage is not with the two who have just been crowned kings.

What's more, the Prince Ying is his grandson, so it would be good for both the Li family and the Prince Ying.

The Lu family's daughter is the niece of Mrs. Duanxian.Although the concubine Lu has been at odds with her since she entered the palace, her family is one of the few people with military power.Her son once inadvertently revealed that military power is crucial to the struggle for the throne.

Besides, among Lu, Li, and Chen, she is the only one who has a son. If she can win over a family, it is a family. If it is good for her son, she doesn't mind being low-key.

Of course, the Chen family and the Du family also have some military power and have generals who can lead troops to fight.But compared to Lu's, the relationship between her and Du's is endless.

Chen Minxian has formed an alliance with Du Shiniang, and the two marriages have become one, and she has nowhere to go if she wants to.

That being the case, it is better to abandon the Chen family and take the Lu family from the beginning.

Compared with the Chen family's main family and its branches, the relationship is better because of mutual benefit; the Lu family's main family and its branches are not as good as the Chen family's relationship because they are both literary and martial.

And worrying about the son, but also beware of those two families sending people into the palace to be favored, finally taking advantage of Du Shiniang's pregnancy, thank you for the time the emperor rests in her palace, and the little goblin can't disturb it.

Here Li Shi is worried about left and right, but Yaohua Palace is much more bearish.

Shi Niang also knew that she had also achieved the highest position, and it was over.

Although the queen did not return at Ganye Temple, in the heart of the emperor, the queen was still his wife and the mother of Daliang.To some extent, the queen and the emperor are not just husband and wife.They are also allies and loved ones.

Xiao Mengzhen is the only queen left in the Xiao family, and she is the only family member left in the emperor's natal family.Moreover, the queen grew up in the palace when she was young, beside the Queen Mother.For the memory of his mother, the emperor would not abandon the queen.

The empress really looked down on the years in the palace, and she complained more about the emperor's indifference than love.Ever since she married the emperor, the empress has devoted herself to the Mu family, to the great Liang Jiangshan, and to the emperor's control of her mother's Xiao family.

Under the instigation of his mother, the Empress Dowager, the Xiao family was so ambitious that they wanted to abolish the emperor and establish a new emperor.The queen knows how much the emperor cares about the throne.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would be so cruel that he would kill all the Xiao family, leaving no one behind.So this harem, this man, it doesn't matter if she is there or not.

The empress has lived for too many years for the emperor and this identity, and she is unwilling to be tired of it and die in the palace.Therefore, the emperor and empress tacitly agreed that no one would mention the matter of returning to the palace.

But the emperor can't abolish the empress again in one day, and he doesn't want to embarrass his cousin.Therefore, although the Xiao family is gone, only Xiao Mengzhen can only sit in the back seat.

Shi Niang has been in the palace for 17 years, and has climbed from a small selection of servants to No. 1 outside the first queen of the harem, the actual ruler.She is no longer the little girl who loved the emperor and longed for it. She knows what is most important to her.

She has been favored, powerful, and has children in her life.The only thing she values ​​is her heirs, because the only thing she can rely on is her children, and the only one who can always accompany her is her children.

After the third prince was promoted to Prince Ze, her feeling for the emperor became even weaker.Coupled with the return of her daughter to Beijing and the birth of her youngest son, she puts more energy on taking care of the child.

The eldest daughter Jinghan who got married a few days ago was hijacked by the emperor and entered Beijing, where she has been staying in the side hall of Yaohua Palace.

The daughter is pregnant. Although the two can be said to be in opposing camps, those who can take care of her are still willing to say a few more words and remind a few more words.

Now the dust has finally settled in Fengcheng, and Xiao Hei has also returned to Yujing.Shi Niang asked her to take care of her daughter's pregnant body and raise the fetus well.

Afterwards, when Moku took his leave with others, Mu Jinghan also followed back to Kunsang.Shi Nianghe summoned Moku privately, and no one knew what he said.All I know is that since then, Jinghan has a right envoy who secretly helps her.

After seeing off the daughter, the youngest son caught a cold and was busy taking care of the child.That's why I took the roster of the show girls who passed the primary selection today and looked through it.

At the beginning of this year, the Du family wanted to talk about Du Zicheng's daughter-in-law, even the third brother Du Zitian's youngest daughter.After entering the palace and passing the primary selection, she has not summoned this little niece yet.After a while, when my little niece gets used to it, it won't be too late to call.

It's not beautiful to push that child in front of everyone too early.

In addition to the Du family, she also paid attention to the Chen family. The Chen family also had Mrs. Huimin's niece selected this year, and Concubine Hui revealed a hint of her desire to marry her niece.Rejected by Shi Niang, Concubine Hui's daughter has just been married to her nephew, and the daughter of the Chen family branch is also referred to Jiu Di.

If there is a girl from the Chen family, it will be over.

Of course, the girl from the Lu family this year is also the object of attention of the palaces.

At the very least, Concubine De and He Rongyi were faintly pinching each other because of this girl.Although this girl from the Lu family is good, her father and brothers are too tidy, so she is not the candidate for Princess Ze.

Therefore, Shi Niang ruled her out the first time.

Compared with daughters from aristocratic families, Shi Niang pays more attention to the daughters of the court ministers.

The ones she is optimistic about are the daughters of several local officials in the south.In one of them, the show girl and her brother were also twins.Her elder brother is a Juren and is going to participate in this year's Chunwei.

The only reason why Shi Niang pays attention to her home is also because her home is along the southern line, and there is a lot of power in the dark.As a local official, the girl's father's backyard is not very clean, but what is rare is that her mother manages the backyard very well, and those bastards are also doing well, and they are all studying.

This girl was raised by her mother to be very clever and lively, which complements Shang Yao'er's somewhat gloomy temperament.

Of course, the girls from other families are also good.So Shi Niang is not in a hurry, and has time to adjust slowly.

She also saw that the emperor had his own considerations about the marriage of his heirs.But for his own son, the emperor should no longer plan to match him with a noble daughter.

So she might as well choose first, the Yue family doesn't require much power, but it's good if they can help at critical moments.

The power of Nanluo Thirteen Counties is in the hands of his son, without a safe old man to help him, it is inappropriate after all.

So Shi Niang had to choose one that was pleasing to her son and one that was useful.

When the noble concubines of the two palaces were worrying about their son's marriage, two of them were also worrying about their son's marriage.These two people are really worried, just because most of the candidates are not willing to marry their families, and the emperor is not willing to give too much power.

Therefore, a draft is really worrying for several families.
