Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 31 Meeting
The second day of the twelfth lunar month, the first snow.

When Shengyi was working as a female celebrity, the eunuch of Xingqing Palace came in to deliver a message.

"Shanggong, Eunuch Liu of Xingqing Palace sent someone to send a message, saying that your family has come to see you in the palace." Zhixia happily notified her kindness.

Sheng Yi was confused, "My family?"

Zhixia nodded in response, "Yes."

"Why don't I know?" Sheng Yi asked in confusion.

Zhi Xia enviously said, "Shang Gong, does your family want to give you a surprise? You also know that most of the maids are sent to the palace because of their family's livelihood. Those who can wait for their family to visit are very few, so when everyone hears that Shang Gong has family members to visit, they are all happy for Shang Gong."

She smiled kindly, she was not sure if she was surprised or not, but the surprise was real.

"Well, then I have to see my family well."

Speaking of it this way, the kindness is really strange. The original owner's family was poor, her father was fond of wine, and her elder brother was addicted to gambling. The original owner never enjoyed a good day. Later, Sheng's father even sent her into the palace because of a few taels of silver.What kind of family relationship does such a father and brother have.

With the last sliver of hope, Shengyi still wondered if they would find out with conscience. After visiting the original owner who had suffered so much, he went to Xingqing Palace after some simple tidying up.

According to the palace rules, maids of honor usually met with their family members at the wooden fence at the gate of the palace, and only a very small number of courtiers who were valued by the master were eligible to meet alone in Xingqing Palace.Sheng Yi is now a celebrity by the emperor's side, Shang Gong, the number one in the harem, naturally has the right to meet in Xingqing Palace.

Along the way, Shengyi was thinking about what to do to make them feel more sorry for the original owner, and how to enhance the relationship between the original owner and his father and brother.

"Shanggong, it's already been arranged." After seeing the kindness from a distance, the eunuch of Xingqing Palace trotted all the way to meet him, and replied respectfully.

Nodding kindly, "It's time to work."

The little eunuch led Sheng Yi to the door of a clean room, "Shang Gong, please come inside."

After that, they quit.

Shengyi looked at the half-closed door, raised her head slightly, and walked in gently.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a "bang" sound, and the sound of the stool sounded after getting up.

"Girl!" I saw a half-hunched, thin man with wrinkled face looking at Sheng Yi eagerly.

The other man leaning crookedly, hunching his neck, and wearing cotton sleeves also looked at the kindness in shock.

This is probably the original owner's father and her brother.

Even though the original owner was unconscious, her physical reaction could not deceive anyone. The tense muscles all showed how her father and elder brother tortured her.

Sheng Da stared at his sister with bright eyes, and said happily: "Yo, but I haven't seen you in just a year, you have changed from a chicken head to a phoenix!"

Father Sheng also rubbed his hands happily, his smiling eyes narrowed together, "That's right! Thanks to the fortune-teller's advice, I sent you to the palace, otherwise you wouldn't have such a good life! Tsk tsk! You've become a palace, but it's incredible."

Sheng Da shook his hands, and said happily: "It's not just Shang Gong, I heard that he is also a celebrity in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor is happy, he will reward you with a few baskets of gold and silver treasures!"

From the beginning to the end, Sheng Yi didn't say a word, but Sheng's father and Sheng Da were like cats smelling something fishy, ​​they only cared about the days when they couldn't spend their money.

"What's the matter? Are you dumb? Don't you know that the person who called you will serve you some food and tea?" Sheng Da was furious when he saw the kindness of not speaking.

Cheng Yi just wanted to sigh that there are really people who can change their faces so quickly.

"Ahem--your brother is right, you said you have such a bright future in the palace, but your father and I haven't enjoyed your blessings for a day yet!" Father Sheng frowned, as if his beard was about to stand up.

No wonder the original owner has such a temperament, maybe she has suffered a lot since she was a child, if she lived in such a depressive life every day, she couldn't stand it for a moment.

Seeing that Shengyi still didn't move, Sheng Da felt a kind of neglected anger, got up in an instant, and walked towards Shengyi.

"Look at your dead face! Why did the emperor let you serve him close? It's not shameful enough!" Sheng Da cursed, pointing at him kindly.

Greetingly met Sheng Da's gaze, he turned straight back, "If it weren't for my dead face, you probably wouldn't have come, would you?"

Seeing his son being teased, Father Sheng got angry, raised his hand and gave Sheng Yi a slap, "Slap!"

"How do you talk? It's not big or small! You've been dragged so big, can't you say a few words about you?" Father Sheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, as if he had committed a heinous crime with good intentions.

She kindly looked at the two who were sucking blood, and smiled coldly. The burning pain on her face made her know for the first time what patriarchy is, and what is women's fate.

"Since you don't want to see me so much, then I'll go!" Sheng Yi didn't intend to tangle with them, and got up to leave.

Father Sheng and Sheng Da obviously didn't expect Shengyi to do this, they were stunned for a few seconds, and quickly stopped Shengyi with a step.

She kindly looked at her elder brother's face that was not oily and salty, and a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and stared at him intently.

"You just want to leave without expressing your heart?" Sheng Da stared at his sister.

Sheng Yi took a long breath, "What do you want?"

Father Sheng twisted, "You? Who are you? I am your father, he is your elder brother! No big or small thing!"

Sheng Yi's heart was very sad, she never thought that there would be such a person.

"If you were really my father and brother, you wouldn't be drinking blood, skinning, and bone like this!" Sheng Yi looked coldly at Sheng Da who was blocking her.

Just when Sheng Da was about to explode, Sheng Yi said slowly again: "I have to remind you that there is only one stick of incense for a kiss."

Sure enough, Father Sheng and Sheng Da were dumbfounded.

Father Sheng gave Sheng Da a wink, and Sheng Da stiffened his neck and said, "We have no other intention, just to see if you have a suitable job for me, and arrange something for me to do."

Kindly sneered and said, "Arranging errands? You dare to say, is this harem your territory? Do whatever you want! Let me tell you, don't say there is nothing suitable for you, even if there is, I can't let you do it!"

"You damn girl! You're looking for death!" Sheng Da was stimulated by his kind words and raised his hand to slap her again, but Sheng's father stopped him.

"You don't have to be so cold-blooded. I don't plan to let you take care of me in the future. However, as a child, you must be filial to me. From now on, you will send home 15 taels of silver every month, and I will not bother you again!" Father Sheng spoke quickly, his beard trembling wildly.

Sheng Yi seemed to have heard a shocking joke, "How much?"

Sheng Da stretched out his hand and gestured, "15 taels!"

Sheng Yi didn't know how Sheng's father and Sheng's brother were able to open their mouths, and said with a smile: "Do you know how much my monthly salary is? 15 taels? It's impossible to make it up without eating or drinking!"

"You white-eyed wolf! It's a shame that I dragged you up, and that's how you repay me? If you can't find a way, I don't care about that!" Father Sheng said sharply.

The cubicle where we would have kissed was very tight, and the people next to me could hear it very clearly, and they all looked at Sheng Yi and whispered...

"Oh, I never expected that Sheng Shanggong is such a person, who will abandon his father and elder brother after the glory..."

"Look at how beautiful she is every day, she is not a mean life, her father doesn't like it, her brother doesn't get along..."

Seeing the court ladies with complicated eyes and gossiping to the end, Sheng Yi really wanted to seal their mouths with a piece of cloth!Sometimes, if you don't resist, the situation will only get worse...

In the distance, Li Qing, who was inspecting the meeting, looked at the gathered crowd, walked up, and lightly reprimanded: "What are you doing!"

A little eunuch smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch Li, look! There is Shengshang Palace inside, and there is a quarrel with her father and her elder brother. It is lively, and everyone says that Shengshang Palace is a white-eyed wolf."

Eunuch Li glared at him, then slammed the little eunuch's head with his fly whisk, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Irregular things! Can you talk nonsense about Shengshang Palace? It's all gone! If our family finds out that your dog can't spit ivory, we will serve you carefully!"

The palace maids and eunuchs rushed away.

Eunuch Li instructed Xiao Jinzi, the eunuch beside him, "It's good to keep an eye on this group of people, if you gossip again, you don't need to know, just slap your mouth!"

It was the first time for Xiao Jinzi to see the master so angry, and he repeatedly responded: "Yes!"

After that, Eunuch Li paced outside Shengyi's room, superficially supervising everyone, but actually saving a little face for Shengyi.

The kindness in the room was genuine at this time, and I silently thanked this father-in-law Li Gonggong, even outsiders knew how to protect her, but the two relatives in front of him only wanted to seek money from her.

"Just tell me, how much money can you give me every month?" Father Sheng walked back and forth impatiently.

Based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, Sheng Yi thought that he was the original owner's father, so he said: "I have a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, and besides making some connections, I will send you five taels of silver every month."

Unexpectedly, before Sheng's father could speak, Sheng Da exploded first, and slammed the water glass, and the porcelain shards splashed on Sheng Yi's hands. She hissed in pain, and Sheng Da's eyes were bloodshot and he said viciously: "You sent the beggar?"
