Chapter 153 The Peaceful Palace Backyard (Part [-])

Wangfu Middle Road, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Sun, You Liangyuan, Gao Liangyuan, Su Liangyuan, Geng Liangyuan, and several beauties and rituals gathered in the Tongqi Hall where the princess lives. .

"Tomorrow there will be a lot of guests, beauties and Dianyi should not be discharged from the hospital, so as not to offend the distinguished guests. Gao Liangyuan, when your natal sister-in-law and niece come over tomorrow, this princess will send someone to inform you, and I will meet you in the main hall when the time comes. Let Sister Qian stay, and when the time comes, let Concubine Zhuang take the lead and play with Sister Hua."

Gao Liangyuan gave birth to Li Qian, the second daughter of the palace 13 years ago, and now she is no longer favored, and her natal family can’t mention it. Relying on the prince’s face, her brother got a job as a horse breeder in Jinyiwei, and the princess treated her very badly. polite.

Gao Liangyuan bowed her head very respectfully and said yes, while Concubine Zhuang smiled disdainfully, and with a hum, Wangfei Xiaoning turned her head and stared at her with a sullen face for a long time, then she had no choice but to stand up and bless her, with Feeling aggrieved, she said in a low voice, "I know."

The princess then looked at Su Liangyuan: "Su Liangyuan, are you a younger sister and two nieces from your house?"

Su Liangyuan bowed her head and said yes.

When Su Liangyuan entered the palace for more than ten years, her father was only the magistrate of a small county in the border of Yunnan. In the past ten years, relying on the relationship of Su Wangfu, he is now the magistrate of Chengjiang Prefecture in Yunnan. Chengjiang Prefecture is an important economic town in Yunnan. unimportant.Su Liangyuan's third sister is also very lucky, her husband is capable, she is currently a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and she can often walk around in front of the imperial court, even though this Su Liangyuan has only given birth to a third girl, Li Yuan, the prince is quite generous to her, so the princess wants to Then give her some face.

Concubine Xiao Ning thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, you can take your sister and two nieces to the Zhuxiang Hall for a sit-down, and it's not too late to leave after dinner."

Su Liangyuan got up to thank her.

You Liangyuan has a sixth elder brother, Li Shi, who is ten years old this year and has lived in the front yard since he was seven.You Liangyuan came from a merchant in Lingnan, and her family background was not obvious, so the princess told her to stay honest in her yard and take care of her children, and not to run around on the East Road.

Then there was Geng Liangyuan, whose father was just a local official in the south of the Five Ridges, who had four daughters, Li Hui, who was now six years old. up.

Zhang Meiren gave birth to the seventh son of the palace last month. She is still in confinement, and the seventh son has not yet given a name. The princess has nothing to do with them.

Then there is Ye Dianyi, who was born as a dancer girl. She just found out that she is pregnant. The princess also confessed a few words, and then admonished everyone for nearly a quarter of an hour before the meeting ended.

Concubine Zhuang rolled her eyes and got up to go out. Concubine Sun followed behind her and pulled her aside: "Take it easy too, Sister Hua is not getting married anymore?"

Concubine Zhuang snorted: "Why, are you afraid that the princess will anger you?"

Concubine Sun said nonchalantly, "I'm doing it for your own good."

The corner of Concubine Zhuang's mouth twitched into a sneer: "I said the surname is Sun, can you stop pretending? After so many years, who still doesn't know who? Eunuch Wang has full authority to arrange such a big event as the birthday party of the crown prince. Regarding matters related to the east, the princess doesn't even have a chance to get her hands on it. The prince is not even willing to do superficial tricks now, and it's clear that he doesn't believe her. Our princess, we got angry with the prince, and we turned around and ran to The backyard comes to domineering, find a few servants to run errands, insist on mobilizing the crowd, and put on airs of the princess. I can't laugh at her? The most ridiculous thing is that none of the women in our yard are favored Yes, huh... my lord... my lord, he... really loves me very much."

Concubine Sun was obviously taken aback when she heard the word "Long Love", but she quickly realized that Concubine Zhuang was talking about who she was in love with, and it was the original concubine Daning who had died for almost 20 years.

Of the remaining women among them, the only one who is considered to be more favored is Concubine Zhuang. She gave birth to two children.

For the rest of the women, pregnancy means falling out of favor. The prince is not interested in pregnant women, and even less interested in women who have given birth. Basically, everyone will not have the chance to conceive a second child. Now these women in the backyard of King Su's mansion are very sad. Confused, there are not a few people who drink Bizi soup secretly, and even several of them are obviously pregnant, but they secretly abort themselves while the month is early.

Because the quotas for two side concubines, four Liangyuan, and six Dianyi are already full.As long as the women in the front don't make mistakes, the later ones, no matter how favored they are, won't be able to get a better position.

There is no limit to the number of beauties, but the treatment of beauties is only a little bit better than that of the house girl.

When he was favored, with the subsidy from King Su, his standard of living was naturally quite high, but once he lost the favor, his life would be worse than that of a maidservant.

Like that Ye Dianyi, who has been favored in the past two years.Half a year ago, the concubine found out that she was secretly drinking Bizi soup, and sent a nanny to watch her and not let her drink it, so she became pregnant.No, she fell out of favor immediately because of pregnancy.The prince didn't leave her a second glance, he found another new lover, turned around and hugged the other goblins happily.

Su Wang's behavior made everyone lose their temper. The huge backyard of Su Wang's mansion was so quiet that it was ridiculous except for the princess who occasionally smashed a teacup because of the son's affairs.

The four Liangyuans have all fallen out of favor since they were pregnant. At this time, they gathered in Su Liangyuan's Zhuxiang Pavilion to play leaf cards.When these few first entered the mansion, they also fought like cockfights. It's a pity that after so many years, everyone has a child anyway. It is impossible to change their status, and the prince's favor is no longer expected, so what is there to fight for?

The only thing she hopes is that her natal family can produce one or two stronger children, so that her life in the palace will be more nourished.

Wangfu East Road is now full of joy and prosperity everywhere. From the front yard to the small gardens on both sides of the veranda in the backyard, there are canopies made of silk gauze that are so thin that it is almost invisible, and various seasonal orchids, chrysanthemums and The verandas are overwhelming.

There are also roses of various colors blooming densely by the water pavilion in the East Road Garden, and the small courtyard beside the stone boat has become a sea of ​​hibiscus flowers. Looking from a distance, the blossoming pink clouds are really cute. In the afternoon, the House of Internal Affairs I sent a car of gardenias, one pot in the east and one pot in the west, placed in an inconspicuous corner, and the fragrance of gardenias is everywhere.

The most eye-catching thing is a piece of sunflower that His Royal Highness Su personally planted in the middle road garden. This thing is not so common at present because it has not been promoted by the imperial court. Viewing in the garden is also possible.

Eunuch Wang has seen the girl next to Song Qingyue on the east side of the road boil water with dried sunflower discs and corn hearts and drink, saying that it can clear away heat, detoxify and cure dizziness, but I don't know if it is true.

In short, he likes sunflower oil more than rapeseed oil now. Rapeseed flowers grow in the south, and a lot of oil used in the north is transported from the south. Those oil barrels for storing and transporting rapeseed oil are used repeatedly, and there will be stale oil to some extent. Artemisia.

Sunflowers are drought-resistant and are more suitable for growing in the north than rapeseed. Now cooking in Wangfu either uses lard, chicken fat, or sunflower oil produced in Wangfu Zhuangzi.

On Wangfu West Road, the second son Li Yi's courtyard is not as peaceful as other places.

The concubine, Xiao Ning, was feeling unhappy. Apart from making troubles for the women in the backyard, she was looking for her daughter-in-law to vent her anger, but after all, she was concerned about the Meng family. She dared not do anything to Meng Yuyan, so she asked Meng Yuyan to serve her in the main courtyard every time. Copy scriptures.

Mo, who stood and grinded for an hour, would be fatal. Meng Yuyan watched people come and go in the east these days, preparing a birthday banquet for the concubine of the Song family in a hurry. pump.

So she also used Li Yi's housemates and concubines as a venting tube, and asked Li Yi's favorite Wu Shi to serve her to copy the scriptures in the same way. She stood and polished the ink for an hour or two. Trembling, people will not be able to stand.

When Li Yi came back from a horse race with his friends, he asked Mrs. Wu to come over and take care of him to freshen up.

Although Wu's father was only a boss of a local county government, she still belonged to an official family. She was selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was bestowed by the emperor as the second son of the palace. She was a legitimate concubine.

She has a well-developed figure, a charming appearance, and a softer personality than Meng Yuyan.He was obviously so tired that he could hardly lift his arms, so he gritted his teeth and continued to wait carefully until Li Yi finished taking a bath and asked Wu Shi to help him untangle his hair. Comb, asked the maid to continue combing his hair, pulled Wu Shi into her arms, and asked her with a smile: "Madam bullied you again?"

Wu shi lowered her head, bit her lips, and shook her head slightly: "Madam taught me the rules, I don't have any grievances."

Li Yi laughed: "You still said that you are not wronged, look at your little face, the grievances are all written on your forehead. I know you are a sensible person, but after all, my wife is the eldest daughter of the Baoding Houfu, so I have some small tempers , you go along with her, if she goes too far, I will tell her."

This means that it is not too much at present.Although Wu Shi felt a little lost in her heart, she soon laughed again, put her arms around Li Yi's neck, and rubbed his head against his face: "As long as the son has a concubine in his heart, the concubine can bear any grievances."

Li Yi raised the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I love you, wait a little longer, wait a moment, I will definitely let you stand out."

At this time, the comb suddenly pulled Li Yi's hair, causing him to cry out in pain. The servant girl immediately knelt on the ground in fright, shaking like a sieve. .”

Wu Shi, who was in his arms, resisted the shock in his heart, lowered his eyes, and buried his head in his arms, preventing Li Yi from observing the changes in his expression.Before entering the palace, she didn't know that the Second Young Master had such a personality.

She only thought that the eldest son Li Zhao's position was stable, there was nothing to argue about in the backyard of Prince Su's mansion, and the second son was the first son, so the treatment would not be bad. She was honest and peaceful, and just kept a low profile as a concubine.

Who would have imagined that her husband would have completely inherited His Royal Highness Su's fickleness and indifference, and also added cruelty and willfulness.

She understood that this man was unreliable.

On the East Road, Eunuch Qin was called to Wufangzhai. Song Qingyue handed him the drawn resume sheet, and said to Mo Yun, "This sheet is for the servants of the East Road, everyone, up to the steward's wife, down to Little girl in the laundry room, everyone has to fill in a copy for me. Also, I want all the managers to be able to write. Give them six months to learn if they don’t know how to do it now. Just learn simplified Chinese. Let’s do it in the yard by ourselves. Use it, don't get in the way. If you can't learn well, you can change, Mo Yun knows my rules."

Mo Yun responded with a smile.Eunuch Qin's eyes sparkled with excitement. Is the concubine Shizi finally going to take power?He looked down and saw that the form was very detailed. In addition to filling in the name, age, and place of origin, there were also many questions such as when to enter the mansion, who were the parents, where are the parents now, the current position, the positions they have held, and their qualifications. Punishment, because of when he was rewarded, what he is good at, and so on.

Mo Yun asked Mo Zhu to wait for a few little girls and the servants who could write at the little Qin Eunuch's side to copy a few blank resumes according to the format, and then immediately put all the eunuchs in charge in the front hall of the East Road and the nanny in charge in the backyard. Called over, first ask who can write.The eunuchs in charge of the front yard can basically read and write, but more than half of the nuns in the back yard can't read and write.Mo Yun then said to the nuns who couldn't read and write: "The concubine Shi Zi said that the nuns must learn to read and write within six months, otherwise she will be replaced."

One sentence made the nuns angry, Mo Yun ignored their quarrel, and directly announced the morning class time of the literacy class: every single day, it starts at Mao and ends at Chen; when it is cold, it starts half an hour later, Based on the time of dawn, the location is in the yard of Wufangzhai.

He also sent the resume to the eunuch in charge and the nanny in charge who could read and write, and said with a smile: "Everyone under your command must fill out one. Submit everyone's forms to me within seven days. No The writing is done by our sisters from the main courtyard."

At the same time, Mo Zhu and other little maids went to various courtyards on the East Road to inform them, including the little maids who cleaned and washed clothes, and the little Huangmen. They told them that anyone who wanted to read should get up the next morning and go to Wufang at Maoshi Gather in the courtyard of the fast, and the stewards of each courtyard must not stop them.

In the end, Mo Yun took little Eunuch Qin to the Jinxiu Pavilion in person, saying that the concubine had something to do for them, and those who were willing to do things for the concubine would go to Wufangzhai for breakfast the next morning.

This action caused people in the East Road to be suspicious, and the other courtyards of the palace naturally heard the news, and everyone was wondering what the hell the princess was going to do.

Even His Royal Highness King Su rubbed his hands, all he had to do was prepare melon seeds and peanuts and wait to see Song Qingyue's tricks.
