Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 344

Moreover, there will still be the Queen Mother in the palace at that time, so the prince will have to save face from his own mother!

Therefore, the old Hou Ye decided that in the future, he should watch the people in the Hou Mansion more strictly, and not let them make mistakes. Safety is the purpose of their Hou Mansion.

Happy time always flies by quickly, and it's time to go in the blink of an eye.Mrs. Shizi arranged dinner again, accompanied by the prince and the fourth prince.

After eating a meal for an hour, I still feel that the time has passed too fast.Shuning changed back to the phoenix robe, wearing the seven phoenix crowns, and sat in the phoenix sedan chair with the support of Mrs. Shizi.

The car curtain was drawn down, blocking the reluctant eyes and the nostalgic eyes of the daughter.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care in the palace!"

Hello everyone, you can understand what it means to be a father.

"it is good."

"Your Majesty, if you want to eat something, you can send someone to tell the minister's wife, and the minister's wife will make it and send it to the palace."

The Wang family and the old Hou Ye held each other's hands, wondering if there is any chance in this life for the empress to visit her relatives and go home again.

"it is good."

An exhortation was the last time Shuning heard the voices of her grandparents. Half a year after she returned to the palace after saving her relatives, the old lady passed away with a smile on her face, and the old lady followed.

Everyone knows that this is because the old man is not willing to part with the old lady. He is still in good health, so how could he collapse all of a sudden and die with the old lady.

No matter how much reluctance you have, you will eventually have to say goodbye.The phoenix sedan chair was carried away from the Hou's mansion, and everyone in the Hou's mansion knelt to see it off.Different from the mood of anticipation in the morning, this time everyone is sad about parting.

The moment she was carried out of the mansion, Shu Ning lifted the curtain and looked back.She left a last look, and it was also the last time she came out of the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The crown prince and the fourth prince rode on both sides of the phoenix sedan chair, and the two brothers were really worried about their mother.

After finally going home to save a relative, they can only stay for one day. Unlike their princes who can go out of the palace at any time, apart from the palace, the concubines can only have a little freedom when they go to the palace every year.

In fact, not only women in the harem, but also women outside the palace are the same.Although it is said that women are more free than women in the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, but this is relative.

In ancient times, it was not fair to women at all. When married, people would not be able to return to their natal family often, and would be accused.I even go to dinners in normal times, and rarely have the opportunity to go out, so I have to stay at home to serve my in-laws.

When the husband goes out to work, nine out of ten mother-in-laws will keep their daughter-in-law to serve them, instead of letting the daughter-in-law take up the job with their son.

Obviously, they also suffered from the separation from their husbands back then, but after becoming mother-in-laws, they did the same behavior. Did they get satisfaction from their daughter-in-law for the pain they had suffered?

The fourth prince was puzzled, he asked the prince, and the prince shook his head.

It's just that such words left traces in the prince's heart, and this time the imperial concubine was visiting relatives, he saw the injustice towards women in the world. Why can't women who enter the palace return to their natal homes?It is a blessing to be able to stay for a day when I go back to my natal family to visit my relatives.

The prince only wanted to make his mother happy, so he decided to accompany his mother out more in the future, so as not to keep her trapped in the deep palace.Mother is different from the women in the harem, her heart is wider and she yearns for freedom.

Back at the palace, first go to the Tai Chi Hall to thank the emperor, then go to the Quanfu Palace and Qifeng Palace to pay homage, and finally return to my own Changning Palace.

Unlike Jia Yuanchun in the Dream of the Red Chamber, she first visited the garden, then met her grandmother, parents and younger brother, then asked her younger brother and girls to compose poems, and finally held a banquet and watched a play.

Shu Ning's head was dizzy after watching the series, but she didn't follow it.Instead, he changed back to the clothes he wore when he was young, combed his hair when he was young, and played with his brothers all morning.

The afternoon is used to talk to family members, and there is no need for watching a play or having a banquet.Wouldn't it be nice to be quiet with your family?The ostentation isn't for returning to her mother's house, isn't there enough ostentation in the palace?
Visiting relatives in Shuning is really much less expensive than concubines going home to visit their relatives in history!
Even the ceremonial guards of the noble concubines were arranged to rest after they arrived at the Hou's mansion, and they were no longer allowed to stand in front of them, and they were served with delicious food and drinks, making them lament that it was easy to come out with the noble concubine, and the noble concubine seldom put up a guard of honor in the palace , so low-key that she doesn't look like a concubine.

Asking Hou Lin to send the crown prince and the fourth prince back to the palace, Shu Ning stretched her body in the bathtub.

"Master, why does this servant feel that your mood is changing from good to bad?"

Mei Xia waited for her to take a bath, and she could easily sense the difference in the noble concubine who was by the master's side all the year round.

"I'm happy that after more than ten years, I can still play with my brothers. But this is what makes me sad. I guess I won't be able to do it again in the future."

Visiting relatives once is already a great grace, she can't ask for more.

"Master, if you want to play on the swing, the servants will accompany you."

They will always accompany the master, even if they go to the underworld together with the master.

"Now you are the only ones left by my side. The prince and Xiaosi, as they grow up day by day, they will always leave their mother's side. They will only come back to see me when the birds are tired."

Shu Ning held Mei Xia's hand, Si Mei grew up with her, and they were several years older than her, so she was almost brought up by them.The friendship between master and servant is different from others, Shuning regards them as relatives.

"No, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Highness are so filial, they will definitely visit the master often. Didn't the Fourth Highness and the Crown Prince accompany you to the Marquis of Yongning today?"

Mei Xia helped Shu Ning step out of the bathtub, rinsed her body with washing water, then wiped the water drops on her body with a towel, and brought clean underwear for her to change on.

"I know they are all filial, but I can't keep them by my side forever!"

Children who are protected by their parents for a lifetime are worthless.

Today Shu Ning returned to the Hou Mansion, looked at the nephews and grandchildren who were protected by the family, and found that they no longer had the aura of their older brothers, and some only had the bad temper after being spoiled and raised.

Seeing this, how could Shuning not be worried.Even though she still has decades to live, she cannot protect the Hou Mansion forever. The Hou Mansion must always stand firm on its own, so that no one else can overthrow it.

"What is the master trying to do?"

After a day of exhaustion, Shu Ning did not feel sleepy at all, but pulled Mei Xia to talk.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll write a letter and you can take it to the prince."

It is not easy to meet foreign ministers in the harem, so the prince can only let the prince handle this matter.

"Yes, the servant girl must hand it over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
