Chapter 523

Chapter 280 (1)
After untold hardships, Hershey finally became pregnant, which finally brought some comfort to the people who were devastated by the bad news.At this time, with such news, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for those who feel exhausted.

The happiest one is of course the Eastern Palace, not to mention the Hesheli family, even Hongdan quietly burned three sticks of incense in the Small Buddha Hall of the Eastern Palace.When Shujia was pregnant with Hongdan, members of the Shi family were able to enter the palace.Naturally, Hesheli followed the rules this time, but his mother could not stay with her in the palace for a long time like Sirut did back then.

Even so, when Mrs. He Yi entered the palace to congratulate, the mother and daughter also felt satisfied.

"Work harder, you'll be able to get a boy with one stroke!" Mrs. He Yi was excited and eager, her face flushed.

Hershey's cheeks were flushed, and she said with a bit of shyness and a bit of complaint: "Er Niang!"

Mrs. He Yi's eyes were bent with a smile: "This is the business, you can't be shy," she leaned her head, lowered her voice, and her tone became serious, "Prince...is there no one in the house?" He held his breath, if the news was true, it would be like a pie falling from the sky.Even if it was placed outside the palace, if Xungui had no housemates before marriage, it was definitely a strict family tradition.

Hesheli coughed twice: "Yes."

"From the time when the master and empress entered the palace, everyone said that she is the one who respects the most rules, as expected!" Mrs. He Yi is pleasing to everyone now.

"Emiang treated me very well. If it hadn't been for her protecting me these past few years, I...wouldn't have gone so well. Just this time, I have rewarded a lot of things. I have a count, and it is much more valuable than when the fourth daughter-in-law was there. .” Hesheli was also sincerely grateful to her mother-in-law.

Mrs. He Yi moved her head closer to her daughter: "The mistress loves you so much, you can't be proud of being favored."

"It's natural."

"Uh... next year will be another big pick, don't you have an idea?"

What Hesheli thinks is, now that she is pregnant, why is there any need to refer to the show girl?My dowry girl doesn't want Hongdan to take over the house, but there are still maids in this palace.This is also her own little thought. When a beautiful woman enters the East Palace, she must be referring to marriage.With the word "finger marriage", the identity is even more detached.No matter how favored a court lady is, without the reliance of her parents' orders, the psychological burden of handling it is also small.

Mrs. He Yi also thought of this: "Now that you are pregnant, you can't serve the prince. If you don't care about it, the master and empress will think you are ignorant. According to me, this year's Xiaoxuan is not a newcomer. Are there many little girls? Now that the rules have been learned, you should take a look carefully and choose one or two, and they will also think of you. The master sees that the prince is served by his side, so let go of your hands next year , you'll feel better."

Hesheli was not happy in his heart, but he knew that what his mother said was the truth, his face tensed for a while, and then he relaxed: "You are right."

"Still! You are already considered good. Those who have a mother-in-law should think more about everything."

Here, the mother and daughter are discussing in full swing, but they don't know that the mother-in-law they are talking about has no interest in their son's private life at all.As for the matter of finding a concubine for her son, she will not do it if she is forced to (the daughter-in-law cannot be born).

She and her daughter-in-law are not natural enemies. If there is nothing to do to the daughter-in-law, even a smart mother-in-law would not do it.Small matters will pass with one eye turned and one eye closed. When encountering major matters, it is impossible to get a little wife to solve them.

Shujia immediately went to the East Palace to see the Hesheli family, and awarded the reward, but then she didn't stay in the East Palace, and went back to the Kunning Palace to listen to the report.

Zhao Guoshi flipped through the notebook: "This year, 25 palace maids over the age of 52 will be released from the palace, and 78 new court maids will be recruited. There are a total of [-] court maids..."

Three thousand beauties in the harem were completely impossible in the Qing Dynasty.Because according to the regulations, not only the concubines must be in the banner, but even the maids must be from Baoyi, and they are also bannermen.A pure Han woman like Mi Taipin is really a special case.

Therefore, in the entire Forbidden City, including masters plus slaves, and counting concubines, the total number of women does not exceed eight hundred.At the level of the queen, there are only ten court ladies serving, the empress dowager has twelve court ladies, and the others have even fewer manpower.Counting the servants of the princes and princesses living in the palaces who are on duty in various palaces, the number is almost the same.Yinreng has few wives, and these people are already very rich.

So Shujia heard that there were 26 more palace maids than last year, so she asked, "Why did more people come in? Could it be that some people died of illness and moved out this year? Why didn't I know?"

Zhao Guoshi scolded the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his heart, and asked him to deal with such an inexplicable problem!The extra 26 people are actually because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is worried about the next year's election, and newcomers will be recruited into the palace.

Zhao Guoshi didn't dare to say it directly, he just said: "Next year our fifth and sixth elder brothers should get married, and the seventh elder brother is not young anymore, so we must prepare some people to serve Xin Fujin, right?" Of course this is also true. the truth.

Shujia paused, and every time she made a big challenge, it was when she had a headache.One is worrying that Yinfeng wants to enrich the harem, and the other is a headache about what kind of daughter-in-law these people should marry.Not only his own son, but also the young men of the right age in the clan, all came to beg for love by showing their skills.There was also a high-ranking relative who wanted to ask for grace for his own daughter, but he also sharpened his head and seized the opportunity to join in.

Still the same sentence, when there is no queen, it will be fine.Now that there is a queen, how could it be possible not to follow her way?
Shujia bowed her head and calculated, no, Honggui, Hongchen, and Hongzao have all grown up.The youngest, Hongzao, was born in April of the 45th year of Kangxi, and he will be fourteen (false) next year.Although Zhao Guoshi followed the traditional calculation and believed that Hong should have referred to the concubine, this can be ignored.Honggui and Hongchen, one nineteen and one seventeen, are getting married.

"I can't help living my life! In a blink of an eye, I have made these children grow old."

After hearing her sigh, Zishang covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Brothers grow up, get married and start a business, don't you think the master is not happy?"

Shujia gave her a sideways look: "I'm so happy that I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law to choose." Besides, besides the two sons, there are also a number of nephews and family members who need to worry about their marriages.

Zishang bowed her head and said nothing, the queen has seen a lot of ladies from famous families this year, is there nothing to like, or too many to choose and don't know which one to choose?

After a while Fang came forward and said: "Master, the little Gege of Qing Erye's family has also reached the age of the big pick." Qingde's daughter Xinle, who will be fifteen next year, is going to be the big pick.But the master didn't take special care of his niece, he only asked Hongxiu to teach the rules at Qingde's house, and also asked Shiwu Fujin and Yu Wang Fujin to give advice, only asked the children to talk a few times, and refused to let the wind out.

Zishang was the son of the Shi family. After Shi Wenbing's death, although the three sons still lived together, they had gradually divided their spheres of influence.The maids around the queen are also a kind of resources, and their families are of course among the ones being divided.Zishang's old lady has been assigned to Qingde's name, and Qingde's future residence will probably be Zishang's retirement home.

Zishang had done the math, she had a good life in Kunning Palace, and she also had money beside her.She entered the palace early, and at that time it was still the rule to leave the palace at the age of 30. At that time, she didn't have a good future when she left the palace, so she might as well have a future with the queen.

However, when you are on errands, when you are not on errands, you can't let you stay in the palace for nothing, right?Most of them are going to retire from the palace.This age will not be too old, 50 years old is the sky.When she was 50 years old, Shujia didn't need so many old women to serve her, she had to recruit new, agile people, and at most one or two old mothers could be left to talk to relieve boredom.Zishang should pay attention to how to live after leaving the palace.

Since the old lady is in the Qingde mansion, Zishang has to say something about her future shelter.

Shujia doesn't think it's a big deal. It's not okay for her niece and daughter to put up a brand like this. Isn't it difficult to refer to a passable family?Xinle's older sister is already the future Prince Fujin, so it doesn't matter if her younger sister's future is a little bit worse.Shujia has already made up her mind, just choose a clan with a small population and affluence for her.

These days, unless there is a prodigal son, the poverty of the big clan is mostly due to the division of the family.The more sons there are, the less will be distributed to everyone.If you have more children, when the emperor grants titles to your family, except for the eldest son, the titles of others will not be so happy, and will not let everyone in your family have errands.These are directly related to salary.

A small population means less family property, less competition for titles, and more opportunities to work as errands.

"This is my own claim."

The habit of the Changtai Dynasty is that all family disputes are decided by the queen.Marriage can be regarded as one of the family affairs. Even if there are political factors, such as choosing a princess or winning over Mongolia on the eve of the war with the Zhunbu, it is also a large aspect and a large scope of Yinreng's theory. The specific operation is still handled by Shujia. With a glance, it is signed and stamped.And this glance still only looked at the more important ones, and his wife wrote notes further down, and he issued the edict accordingly.

I got used to it, and Shujia got used to it too.If it is difficult for her to talk about enriching the harem, then she is sure that she can make decisions about other people's affairs.She also felt that she was sure of the arrangement for her niece.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!Yinfeng suddenly had an opinion.

"Girl from the Qingde family, I want to leave it to my son!"

"Gah? To whom?"

"Anyone is fine! No longer taking advantage of others."

Shujia was dumbfounded: "How can this work?" They are close relatives!Although Hongxi and Gegentana had two sons, and there was nothing wrong with it, Shujia was still incapable of accepting the marriage of close relatives.

"Why not?"

"This child's elder sister has already been given to Hong Sheng, and she will give it to our son? Grace is too much!"
