Harem strategy

Chapter 131
So Qian Xiaobao didn't know what to say when he heard Master Wang's almost explicit words.In other words, he didn't think about that at all, nor did he plan to get married.

Marry a girl from the royal family?His identity?

A man should rely on his own ability to climb up. How can he get help by marrying a woman?Doesn't this mean that you look down on yourself?

Besides, the girl from the Wang family in the palace is still against my cousin. If I marry a girl from the Wang family, what will Mr. Wang do if he wants to help the girl from the Wang family?Although he doesn't have to listen, but in the future when my cousin finds out, she will look down on me!
Qian Xiaobao said: "Although the subordinate's parents are gone, but the subordinate still has a master who teaches martial arts to the subordinate, the subordinate's marriage is decided by the subordinate's master, and the subordinate cannot make his own decisions."

Master Wang was not angry when he heard this, and felt that Qian Junbao was a kind and righteous man.

So he said: "Forget it, let's talk about this matter after your master comes over."

Anyway, he has a lot of daughters, so this one won't work, and another one will be used.

And the girls in Mr. Wang's family, I don't know where I heard about this. Their father wants to betroth them to a poor boy who has no father and no mother. Who would be willing to climb up from the army? ?
Because there is a concubine Rong in the family, everyone yearns for the capital even more. Even if they can't enter the palace for draft, it is much better than marrying a poor family.

So I was not happy in my heart. Speaking of which, the concubine Rong in the family climbed up to the concubine's position for the first time because of her father's military exploits. If she entered the palace, she would definitely not be much worse than that concubine Rong.

So they went to their respective aunts, hoping to blow up the pillow more, so that this matter would not be spread on their own heads.

Speaking of which, although Mrs. Wang has many daughters, Wang Yulu is the only daughter-in-law. Wang Yulu has been very beautiful since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is even more beautiful.

But these concubines felt that Wang Yulu did not give birth to a prince, and that she was able to ascend to the imperial concubine position only because of her father's honor.

In this case, their looks are not bad, and they both have the same father, why can't they also enter the palace to be favored?

So there are more people who want to draft again. What I told Mr. Wang is that Concubine Rong didn't give birth to a prince. If she sent a sister of her own to help give birth to a prince, wouldn't it be better in the future?
Such a good reason, even Mr. Wang couldn't help being tempted.

Wang Yulu's mother, Mrs. Wang, naturally knew about it, so she wrote a letter about it and sent it to Concubine Rong in the palace.

Wang Yulu and Concubine Wang Rong, who live in Xianghe Palace, know that there are many concubines in the family who want to have a child for themselves.

Can't help sneering, it's really good enough, I'm thinking of entering the palace even before the draft.

Have a baby, have a baby, and then kick yourself out of power, right?

It's really beautiful.

But it doesn't matter, who is not born, Wang Yulu has many methods to deal with those concubines in her family.

But what does father mean?If the father really sent a daughter over in the next draft, then the father really has plans.

If her father doesn't plan to give it away, then Wang Yulu swears that she will definitely bring him to a higher level.

After all, if the father doesn't give it away, then he still values ​​himself and doesn't give up on himself. Such a father still deserves his respect.

But if her father really gave it to her, she would happily accept it. After all, who made their sisters love each other so much?
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve again, because some people were hit by snowstorms this year, so the New Year's Eve in the palace was not as grand as before. In addition, the concubines in the palace were cut by half of their spending, so the whole New Year's Eve was very busy. Low key.

Even the fireworks are set off for half an hour at midnight.

Then in the morning, the inner and outer wives went to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the queen.

At the Queen Mother's side, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went after the Queen said good night. After all, the Queen is now the master of the harem and the ruler of the world.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor also invited his ministers to a banquet, and expressed his gratitude to the ministers who worked hard all year round, although no one dared to do so.

On the first day of the new year, no one was looking for bad luck.They are all good things to say.

On the Queen's side, although many people ate cold meals, after all, there are many rules in such a cold day, but it is also a great honor to be able to give a banquet at the Queen's side.

Naturally, Li Jialuo and the others don't eat cold meals and cold dishes, they are at the bottom.

The queen doesn't stick to them either, so that these concubines can take their natal family back to their palaces.

On Li Jialuo's side, there is a Yun family in her natal family. She is the wife of the county princess, and she also has orders.

Even the wife has a rank, so she also entered the palace. This time, besides the Yun family, even the wife also came to Changchun Palace.

Li Jialuo had a good impression of Mrs. Lian, she was well-behaved and not humble.

As everyone knows, even the madam thinks that this noble concubine is very good, she is not at all like those concubines who are charming and coquettish.

Her husband is a royal censor, and she dislikes these treacherous concubines that harm the country and the people the most. Fortunately, the imperial concubine has no intention of treacherous concubines at all.

Because the food at the Kunning Palace is not good, so the Changchun Palace has already prepared it, and the food is hot pot.Eating and rinsing it hot will warm your body. Not only Li Jialuo likes it after it snows, but also the third and fourth princes.

The third prince will be four years old after the new year, and the emperor said that he will find a master to enlighten him.In this regard, Li Jialuo is not worried at all, the gentleman that the emperor can find will definitely not be bad.

Li Jialuo sat down first, and then invited Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Lian to do the same.

The two pleaded guilty and sat down next to each other. This was the first time Mrs. Lian ate at Changchun Palace, and she had never been here before.Years ago, her husband was promoted to a higher level, so she was eligible to come here, and she was able to keep food.

Of course, it also has something to do with her unfamiliarity with the imperial concubine.

Last year, the Wang family made a lot of bad things. Yushitai couldn’t participate, and the adults of her family also participated. It's gone too far, and if you don't participate, you won't be worthy of being a censor.

Mrs. Lian was afraid that the imperial concubine would make some demands, so she let her husband be the knife in that imperial concubine's hand, for example, let her husband arrest the Wang family and kill the Wang family, but in this Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine Jiang didn't even mention a word of anything else, just talking about homework.

For example, when asked when my second daughter-in-law was born, how the family situation is, what I like to eat, etc., there is no digression at all.

Mrs. Lian felt more relaxed as she ate more and more, when she came out of Changchun Palace, it was like a spring breeze.

I feel a little emotional in my heart, no wonder this noble concubine is favored, just because of this comforting energy, who doesn't like it?

It's not embarrassing at all, if this imperial concubine did not enter the palace, I'm afraid she would be more willing to let such a person be her daughter-in-law instead of the current second daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, I didn't know why the master agreed to this marriage. Even if the wife said that her second daughter-in-law had such a temper, she didn't like it at all. Although she had the ability to change people, who wouldn't like it? Well-behaved and sensible?
But what can she say about the marriage that the master promised?

I had no choice but to do my best to train my second daughter-in-law well.

Fortunately, although this second daughter-in-law has a bad temper, everything is very straightforward, and the bad is obvious, so it is easy to deal with.The rules of the Lian family are enough for her to toss for some time.

After Mrs. Lian went back, Mr. Lian had already returned home, and Mrs. Lian told her husband what she had seen and heard in Changchun Palace.

Mrs. Lian said with emotion: "Looking at it, the imperial concubine taught the two princes very well. The third prince sat at the table to eat at a young age. Although the fourth prince is only over one year old, he can eat with a small spoon by himself. Look at the children in our family, at that time, they were all fed by the nanny, and there were several other people around to take care of them. Not well served."

Since he was a child, he could tell how his mother was. The third prince and the fourth prince were nobles. Being able to do it by themselves under the service of so many people showed that they could teach the third prince and the fourth prince well.

To put it bluntly, it is a bit taller than others.

Even the adults were interested after hearing this, and said: "Nowadays the princes, the eldest prince has been weak since he was a child, and his biological mother was born as a palace maid. Although the Li family has gradually become rich and powerful now, the roots are too shallow after all. The eldest prince's biological mother is not liked by the emperor. But the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince have nothing to say in the future."

The main reason is that the queen has no children, and these concubine princes all have a chance.

But the emperor is still so young at present, and everyone can't mention the matter of establishing a prince.After all, except for the eldest prince, the other princes are all young.I can't justify it.

Ordinarily, the birth mother of the fifth prince is of higher status and has some royal blood, but the birth mothers of the third and fourth princes are more favored. In addition, the Wu family is not a poor family. Anyway, Wu Zhengdao is also a Jinshi, relying on his own ability Those who have been admitted to Jinshi, although they have a stroke now, but a Jinshi background, in the scholarly circle, is very respectable.

Noble places like the Hanlin Academy are full of Jinshi-born people.

The natal family of the fifth prince's biological mother is also an official outside, but the official donated it, so it is the final judgment. Before Wu's father had a stroke, he had already become the magistrate, which is much better than the Lin family. .

So what even the adults think is that the civil servants must be more interested in someone from a foreign family like the third prince, and the current situation of the third prince's maternal ancestral family will not cause the hidden danger of the relatives being too big. Everyone prefers this.

As for the fifth prince, there is also an adoptive mother from the Wang family. The Wang family should not be underestimated. However, apart from the Queen Mother’s father who used to be the leader of the literati, it has been decades since the Wang family. There is no success.Because there was a queen mother who directly inherited the title of Lord Cheng En.There are fewer people who read books.

In addition, years ago, the members of the Wang family made such a scandal again, which almost caused a riot, which made many people dissatisfied.

In the past, some of the nobles who were facing the Wang family must have gradually alienated the Wang family because of this incident.

So it's really not certain what will happen then.

As for the Lian family, he can stay out of the matter. After all, he is just a censor and can participate in impeachment of any party.

However, since the emperor let his family accept the second daughter-in-law, even the adults knew that the emperor wanted to stand on the side of the concubine, but it was more subtle.

Sacred will has always been the most important thing, even adults are not pedantic, so they naturally know how to choose.

So, do you even have to ask?Master Lian has already decided to take a good position in his heart, and decided to make the right decision at the critical moment.

The Chinese New Year has always been full of various sacrifices, and this year is no exception. The emperor and empress are busy, but the concubines in the palace are very relaxed.

However, as soon as the Lantern Festival passed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone got the news that foreigners came to the capital to worship.

It's not those Hu people and other countries, which belong to the north.

The country I came to this time is a small country in the south. It is said that there is a country that grows camellias very well. There are all kinds of camellias, and there are [-] kinds of camellias in one plant. It is the best. I have come here with this time. .

Decades ago, when the late emperor was in power, these small countries came to congratulate them, but after a long time, they didn't come again. This time, the officials of the capital's Ministry of Rites became busy.

The people in the harem didn't care about other things, because I heard that several small countries came here this time and brought their princesses, saying that they were going to present them to the emperor.

If the emperor accepted it, wouldn't there be more competitors in the palace?

Those people also represent the country. As long as the two countries want to have a good relationship, this position will not be too low. How can people like them who have been struggling for several years feel in their hearts?
And I heard that these people eat and dress differently from those of them in Dachu. I heard that some of them eat raw meat directly. Isn't such a person scary to death?
Everyone made various guesses, which made the palace lively again.

There are also those who are looking for those old concubines. I hope they can talk about the conditions of these small countries when the late emperors came here. Did they look like men?
In that case, wouldn't the emperor be at a disadvantage?How can such a woman endure it?

Even Li Jialuo was reminded by some concubines worryingly, but you must blow the pillow with the emperor, don't let these barbarians into the palace, otherwise the palace will not be peaceful.

It's not good to make Li Jialuo laugh, why do you feel that the emperor is about to be molested by the princesses of these small countries?
Li Jialuo joked with the emperor at night, but the emperor laughed and teased him.

Afterwards, the emperor said: "Where is it so exaggerated as they said? On the contrary, the people over there are all petite, and the men are not tall, but the clothes they wear are different from ours. People are tall and horses The big one is in the north, such a person is always thinking of Da Chu, who covets me."

Li Jialuo said: "Your Majesty, we have always been good-neighborly and friendly with these countries. Why did you come here suddenly this time? The concubine thinks that there is nothing wrong, and they will not come here."

After all, coming here takes both time and money, otherwise, I wouldn't stop coming for decades.

And if it's still here, something must have happened.

The emperor felt that there was nothing to hide from the noble concubine, after all, it was not a secret.

So he said: "I just want to come here to borrow the soldiers and horses of Da Chu."

Li Jialuo said: "The soldiers and horses of our Great Chu are so expensive, how can we borrow them at will? Your Majesty, you can't agree easily. We don't do things that are not beneficial."
