Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 157

On the first day of June in the 25th year of Xijia, the main hall of Yaohua Palace.

Just after Zhengmao, many concubines were waiting in the hall.

Concubine and above have not yet arrived, and Concubine Ning De is sick, so it is easy to leave the palace.Therefore, those who came early to pay their respects were all concubines below the rank of concubine.

After the draft in April, the pattern in the Palace hasn't changed much.

Not only the newcomers, but also Lan Xiurong came to greet us early today.The biological mother of the Third Emperor, Yu Xijia's daughter Yu Xijia, in the first month of the fifth year, with the help of the Empress in the past few years, this Lan Xiurong and the Third Emperor had a good life.

But Lan Xiurong offended the queen for some reason, and even the third princess was not welcomed by the emperor.After the eldest princess from the Yuan Dynasty married Kunsang, the former Miao Shunhua and now Zhao Changzai got a daughter, and the second princess also married into the Xiao family.Although later, one of the two princesses was asked to marry and divorced, and the other was a widow, but the two princesses who were not much different from the third princess had married.

There was only the third princess, who was not married until 24 years.The old girl who was almost 20 years old stayed in the princess house, her temper was not very good, and her age was getting worse.

At the end of the 24th, the four princesses from Concubine Ningde were accused of marrying the eldest son of Southern Xinjiang. Before the general election after the Chinese New Year, they were escorted by Xin Yin, a son of the royal family, and went to Southern Xinjiang to get married.

From then on, the third princess became more and more embarrassed in the palace.Compared with sisters with noble status as biological mother or adoptive mother, she who has never been married, and who is not favored, seems to have been really forgotten by her father.But who would have thought that, when things turned around, this princess would be the best one among her sisters to marry.

Not getting married, not leaving the capital, and the husband is capable, it is simply a good marriage that most princesses, mothers and concubines envy.

Emperor Rui has ten imperial daughters.In addition to the first four princesses, there are six others.

The fifth princess's biological mother was Mrs. Huimin, who had already been married to the nephew of Concubine Shujia's natal family by Emperor Rui, which was also a sign of the close relationship between the two palaces.

The mother of the Sixth Emperor's daughter is Bai Jieyu from the third rank, and her adoptive mother is Mrs. Duanxian from the first rank.It was rumored privately in the palace that Madam and Jieyu were reluctant to let their daughter marry early when she was just 15 years old, so they planned to stay for an extra year.But in fact, the princess's marriage has been secretly assigned to the Chen family, Mrs. Huimin's youngest nephew.

Both the seventh princess and the eighth emperor were descendants of Concubine Shujia.The Seventh Princess and the current King Ze are twins of the same mother. The Seventh Princess married Kunsang last year and became the Dayan family of Kunsang.And the eighth princess is only ten years old this year, not yet old enough to say goodbye.But this eighth emperor's daughter is indeed the most favored princess in the inner palace at present, everyone knows that Emperor Rui loves her.

As for the ninth and tenth emperors, their biological mothers are both Li Wanyi of the fifth rank. However, the five-year-old tenth emperor is raised by Jiang Shunrong of the fourth rank, and she is not close to Li Wanyi.And the Nine Emperor Girls who are the same age as the Eight Emperor Girls are not as likable as the Eight Emperor Girls.The mother concubine is not as favored as the noble concubine Shujia, so the inner palace does not have a high opinion of this princess.

This Li Wanyi also offended Concubine Shujia, who is in power in the inner palace, so it is conceivable that the life of the mother and daughter was not satisfactory.

Compared with Li Wanyi, Concubine Shujia is still willing to support Lan Xiurong as an old man.During the Chinese New Year, Concubine Jia once mentioned the marriage of the third princess to the emperor.

Emperor Rui seemed to have suddenly thought of this girl, but after this draft, he also proposed marriage to the third princess.However, because the third emperor's daughter was a bit older, the emperor's decree of marriage was not promulgated together with the son who gave the marriage and the children of the aristocratic family.

The third princess was pointed out by the emperor to Lan Fengshan, Qing Qing of Honglu Temple, who was the fourth rank.This Master Lan is in charge of the Siyi tribute, banquets, gifts, welcomes, the country's murderous rituals, the temples of the Central Capital, and the ban on the removal of Taoist and Buddhist records. It can be said that Daliang is a diplomat to the outside world.

He is the most mellow and transparent person. If it hadn't been for the death of his first wife in the family of Mr. Lan, who is over thirty years old, and he kept his filial piety for his wife, he would not have filled the vacancy of his wife.

The most rare thing is that there are two legitimate daughters in this Mr. Lan's family, but the direct son died because of the dystocia of the first first wife.

Once the three princesses marry, they will be the mistress of the house.After bestowing the marriage in April, this Master Lan was also very enthusiastic. He reorganized the main courtyard at home and arranged everything according to the preferences of the third princess who had inquired about it.

Staying in Beijing, bestowing a marriage, not repairing the princess mansion, all of these things have the help of Concubine Shujia behind them, of course Lan Xiurong knows it all.Therefore, these days, she respects this imperial concubine very much.

Beginning in April, various marriages and marriages began in the palace.First, the third and fifth princesses got married, and then King Ying Ze married the concubine and side concubine. It was very lively for two months.

And because of the princess's marriage, she was assigned palace affairs by Concubine Shujia, Huimin, and Mrs. Duanxian to help them handle the affairs of the inner palace.

Although Concubine Dezhuang would find some small troubles from time to time, in general, life was better than when the queen was in the palace and she was not favored.

After her daughter got married and returned to the palace, it was also full of red light. Seeing her daughter living a good life, she still has nothing to be satisfied with.

Therefore, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, when paying her respects to Mrs. Shujia, she came very early.Putting away the gratitude in her heart, she carefully looked at the concubine in the palace.

Bai Jieyu from the third rank was sitting on her right side drinking tea, noticed her gaze, covered her lips with a veil, and whispered, "Sister, is this looking at that one? I heard that I feel uncomfortable today, I also know when her body became blown by a lamp, and she collapsed as soon as she was blown."

The two sneered at Bai Jieyu's lower head and Rongyi's position, and today she sent the palace lady next to her to apologize, saying that she was uncomfortable in the morning.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Dezhuang and Concubine Shujia were at odds, and Concubine Dezhuang would not come to Yaohua Palace easily.As a noble concubine of the first rank, unless Concubine Shujia used the Phoenix seal or the Zhonggong admonition watch, otherwise she could not embarrass her openly.

This year, the fifth prince got a concubine next to him, and that concubine was a little orphan from the side branch of the Li family of the concubine Dezhuang's natal family.Being pushed by the clan to accompany Miss Li's family in the audition, as a result, the daughter from the Li family's main family became his own cousin, the side concubine of the King of England;

He Rongyi Nalan's family, on the surface, is already a member of the Concubine Dezhuang's lineage, so he pays his respects twice a month, so he will not come to Yaohua Palace easily, and is unwilling to offend Concubine Dezhuang.Concubine Jia was naturally unwilling to see Nalan's if she could, so she naturally let her act.

"What my sister said is, isn't this one of us a sick beauty?" Lan Xiurong said sourly, and then glanced at the few newcomers to the palace.

Among the few people who entered the palace in April, except for Lu Guiren, who was given the title of "Jing" after serving the bed, the other three were all the daughters of the ministers of the court. The Zhao family is always there at the first level.

"Well, she is calm. This year, she is the only one who entered the palace. The status is not low, and there is Sister Xian to rely on."

"Sister Lan said you are a noble person, can you do it without keeping a low profile?" Bai Jieyu picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, chewed a few bites and said,
"My sister heard that her family was originally for King Ze. I didn't expect Concubine Jia to choose the current Princess Ze, but not to choose a side concubine for her son. Now, she was brought into the harem by the emperor."

"What I said is that the emperor has not admitted daughters from aristocratic families into the palace for several years. It turned out to be to give the Lu family a face. Otherwise, the Lu family's daughter-in-law will be branded, and it will not sound good to spread the word."

"Who says it's not? It stands to reason that it's not easy to marry into the royal family, and you can always marry the children of the aristocratic family. But sister, look, this year our fifth princess married into the Du family, and the branch of the Chen family married into the Du family. The children of the aristocratic family followed They are quite few in age. My sister heard that it's not that Xianfei and Sister have no plans to help this niece find a good husband's family. But their family..."

"In other words, our quiet nobleman has a lot of ambitions. I just don't know how many times we can walk under Mrs. Zhong Cui Gongxian's sister?"

"The emperor hasn't summoned her again since the first time he went to bed, and sister Xian doesn't like her too much. The emperor went to Zhongcui Palace, that is, sat with sister Xian and younger sister, and didn't summon her."

"I forgot that my younger sister has watched a lot of good shows. Sister Xian, you should also persuade me that it would be good if we Jing nobles make some troubles."

"My sister made a note of it. If I don't say it, I don't think so, but when I say it, I feel that this noble man can bear it. Don't let Sister Xian live a comfortable life, and I found her way."

"That's the reason. Sister Xian has hidden her edge all these years. What's going on? The Zhongcui Palace is not good-looking."

"Thank you for your reminder, sister, I will remind sister Xian."

"Mrs. Huimin is here, and Mrs. Duanxian is here." Lan Xiurong and Bai Jieyu heard the eunuch's summons, hurriedly got up and took the concubine to greet the two wives.

The two ladies came together and sat on the left and right sides of the first position in the hall.He waved his hand to signal the concubine to get up, and when everyone got up, Si Jin, the big palace lady next to Concubine Shujia, came out from the hall.

Then Aunt Ruomin helped Concubine Shujia out of the inner hall.

Concubine Shujia, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, showed a smile on her well-maintained face, "Good morning, sisters."

After paying respects to the two wives, the concubine stood up again to pay respects to the first-rank imperial concubine Zheng.

The two wives gave half a salute to Concubine Shujia, and someone from the palace had already gone to help the two wives and invited the wives to take their seats.

"Sisters, please get up, I am late today, but I have kept my sister waiting for a long time."

"The tenth brother got up early today and cried a lot. The mother and concubine worked hard to take care of the younger brother. The daughter-in-law got up late, but the mother and concubine had to wait for a long time."

Following behind the noble concubine Shujia and supporting the noble concubine to move in, was a bright young woman in a bright red dress.

After she uttered her voice, everyone in the palace realized that they were busy caring about the body of the noble concubine and the tenth prince, and some said that Princess Ze was filial.

"You child, you served Yao'er in the early morning, and then helped take care of Xiaoliu and mother concubine to take care of Xiaoshi. It's not that you got up late. You just want mother concubine to be your mother concubine. I'm just praising you."

"Oh, my mother and concubine saw all of this, and my son is so ashamed." The girl with a crisp voice yelled at the noble concubine Jia,

"My concubine, give Zichen some face!"
