Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 126

Everyone cheats, but she cheats herself professionally.Wiping away tears of sympathy for herself, Shu Ning silently bid farewell to the emperor and concubine De, and went back to silently score the music.

In fact, it is not difficult for Shu Ning to silently compose the music, but what is difficult is that she has to change the names of these unsuitable songs, which is the most difficult thing.To conform to the true meaning of the song, but also to be pleasant to hear and have artistic conception, it is difficult for her to die.

After Shuning left, the emperor didn't stay in the pavilion too long, he just said a few words to his sons and left.

Concubine De held her children in her arms, and there was no wind or waves in her heart.She used to like the emperor, but in the past ten years or so, her love has been smoothed out little by little. Now she only has children in her heart, not the emperor.Then Concubine De found that after she didn't love a man, her life was much easier, she was no longer jealous of him, and she was no longer saddened by him. Without these, she was just a mother who wanted to raise her children safely.

It turns out that not all women in this world have to rely on men. Let go of your hands and look at yourself in the past. Concubine De blushes quietly in the tent at night, she can't bear to look directly at her!

As a woman, she could tell that Concubine Jia didn't love the emperor, that's why she was always happy.But it's really hard to imagine that a girl in her teens can see it so clearly and keep her heart. Only this kind of person can live to the end safely, and she will live happily even without the emperor's favor.

Shu Ning didn't know that Concubine De had seen through her heart, but she didn't worry even if she saw through.Even the emperor himself can feel that he doesn't love the emperor, so he has no scruples about pampering Shuning. Only such a woman will not wish to be loved by the emperor, recognize her position clearly, and keep her duty.

Just thinking about it occasionally, I still feel a little regretful in my heart.But regrets are regrets, the emperor does not want Concubine Jia to change, the changed Concubine Jia may not be the concubine he likes, and she will become like the women in the harem who learn to calculate and compete for favor.

Therefore, in the emperor's heart, such a concubine Jia is just right, and he doesn't have to worry about causing trouble when he pets her. You must know that concubine Jia can be regarded as the least troublesome concubine in the harem, but she is too favored and has become a target. Not causing trouble doesn't mean that others won't take the initiative to provoke her.

Concubine Li just came out of the Leng Palace, she purposely went to the Leng Palace to laugh at Shuren Ning, seeing her in a mess, Concubine Li felt much happier, she felt much more relaxed.

The only bad thing is that she is still under the pressure of Concubine Jia, and she can only watch her getting further and further away from him step by step.Although the emperor didn't say anything, the palace is full of smart people. Some people have already guessed that concubine Jia will be promoted at the end of the year, but the exact amount depends on the emperor's mood and the empress dowager's intentions.It must be a first-rank concubine, but I don't know if it is a first-rank fourth concubine or a real first-rank concubine.

But no matter which one it was, it made the women in the harem jealous to death.Concubine Jia entered the palace at a higher starting point than them, and now she has climbed even higher. The old people who knelt in front of Concubine Jia expressed some dissatisfaction. Go up, because the emperor is very strict about the position of high-ranking concubines.

The higher the position, the higher the annual rate, and the higher the cost.As I said before, the emperor is very frugal, and even very stingy with people he doesn't like. He doesn't like many women in the harem, so how can he let them rise to high positions and take money for nothing.Although these people were also elected to enter the palace at the beginning, the emperor did not force them to enter the palace. The general election of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely voluntary, unlike a certain dynasty where death was stipulated, and all noble ladies had to enter the palace. Palace election.

So in the eyes of the emperor, he didn't owe them anything, so if you want a high position, don't even think about it, the emperor is reluctant to part with money.

But it is not entirely true to say that the emperor is really stingy, he is very generous to the people he likes, whether it is a courtier or a concubine, let alone the courtiers of the previous court, just look at the concubine Jia in the harem, there are good things The emperor never forgot her.

In the past, when there were good things, the emperor gave the queen mother first, and the queen gave the rest.Now it is also given to the empress dowager first, and then the empress and concubine Jia will share the rest. In short, Shuning got a lot of things. The good things made the concubines envious.

Those things can't be obtained even if you have money. Shu Ning got a pair of egg-sized luminous pearls. You don't need to light up the lights at night, just put the luminous pearls on them. The room is bright and not dazzling.

The emperor got a total of five pairs, and kept two pairs for himself, the other three pairs were given to the queen mother, one pair was with the queen, and one pair was with the concubine Jia.Forget about the Empress Dowager and Empress, why is there even a Concubine Jia, bypassing Concubine De.

Concubine De herself didn't care, the more the emperor favored her, the more scheming shots would be made behind her. Now that she has a son and a daughter, she is content.As for the Ye Mingzhu, she did know that the emperor gave the other pair, one to the eldest princess and the other to the eldest prince, for them to use while reading at night. With this, the eldest prince and the eldest princess did not enmity.

The emperor also didn't want the two children who finally got peace to be hated by the women in the harem, so he deliberately let Concubine Jia take away the hatred.Shu Ning listened to the emperor's words very well, the hatred was well established, all the women in the harem were staring at her, so why would they ask about the whereabouts of the other pair of night pearls.

"My concubine, I'm sorry."

The emperor looked at Concubine Jia full of apology. If it wasn't for his two children, Concubine Jia would not have received the hatred of the entire harem. Now every day, many concubines would speak bitterly to her, and even deliberately stab her , Concubine Jia doesn't like to go out much now.It's rare to come to the palace to escape the summer heat, except to go to the empress and queen mother to pay their respects, Concubine Jia can only stay in Yishui Pavilion every day.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry about the concubines, they can only speak harsh words, how can they take concubines with the emperor protecting them?"

Shu Ning played the piano indifferently, now that the emperor deliberately pampered her, she could be regarded as a tyrant in the harem, she satirized herself and she returned it very quickly, not even having to spend the night.

For example, Concubine Xuan knew what she cared about, so she deliberately pulled the emperor to her in front of her. I can't even eat, so I drink bitter tea every day to reduce the fire.

"You, you can't let me protect you forever, can you?"
