Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 463 Details
"Princess Qingning is wrong. Don't forget that Concubine Ning and Concubine Yan are both daughters of the tribe, and Concubine Yan is just a concubine. Besides, can she have an heir and the emperor's favor? It doesn't matter. The late emperor also had a doting concubine, Concubine Rong, and he didn't give birth to a prince, so he also doted on the Sixth Palace? Some things are not determined by whether he can have children or not."

"My lord's words are wrong. Although Concubine Rong doesn't have a prince, she has a princess. Besides, Concubine Rong still has the Dong family to help with things. Concubine Ning only relies on the Suhe clan. What about the height of the imperial concubine?"

"Princess Qingning, don't forget, the fate of Concubine Rong in the end, so sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing to favor the sixth palace. Concubine Ning is arrogant, but she has never heard of being punished by the emperor. It is the ability of Concubine Ning. Everyone is the daughter of the tribe. Do you think Concubine Ning may surpass Concubine Yan by a lot? Even if you have children, you should pay attention to the trend of the tribe. As you said, Concubine Rong Having the Dong family in the previous dynasty is of course helpful. But Concubine Ning has only one Suhe tribe, and there are more than one tribe’s daughters in the palace. If the Suhe tribe has a great favor with us, that’s another story, but Now that it is like this, I am afraid that when Concubine Ning has no heirs, she can only sit on an equal footing with Concubine Yan.

Princess Qingning, don't worry, the holy favor is not determined by unilateral factors. These things also need to be handled by Concubine Ning herself, and we outsiders can't be in a hurry.Even if Concubine Ning can't get pregnant, or if she can get pregnant in the future, the way to get along with husband and wife is the same, how can these be taught.Besides, it is not necessarily a good thing that the palace is full of submissive women. They must have their own characteristics and be different, so that they will have the effect of blooming flowers, isn't it?Don't worry, princess, with the good relationship between the Suhe clan and us, there will be no problems with Concubine Ning. "

"Since the prince has said so, Qingning will not embarrass the prince. Qingning also knows that the prince also has difficulties."

"If Princess Qingning understands, then it is naturally the best. I am now in charge of many affairs in the palace, have contacts with many empresses, and many things. I am sorry to explain too clearly. But since it is impossible for Concubine Ning herself Now that you have an heir, why not take a look at the young master who has just entered the palace, and find a good relationship, it will be beneficial in the future. A young master with a low status cannot raise his own children. When the time comes, Concubine Ning will Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to take care of her on your behalf? Or Concubine Ning can find a famous doctor outside, maybe she can get Concubine Ning pregnant.”

"It's a good idea, my lord, but these new little masters may not be so easy to find. You also know that Concubine Ning's temper..."

"Concubine Ning has a straightforward temperament, and she is actually not difficult to get along with. The new mistresses who entered the palace this time are all the daughters of veteran ministers. They come from a scholarly family, and everyone is well-educated, so they should not be difficult to get along with. Concubine Ning is really kind-hearted, those The young master will like it. It is because of the status of the daughter of the veteran, so those young masters will not have a high status, this matter should be what Ningfei Empress wishes."

"The prince is really considerate. No wonder the emperor likes her so much. If Concubine Ning can be half as good as the prince and princess, then Qing Ning will be thankful."

"Why does Princess Qingning do this? In fact, the emperor may not always like someone who is so considerate and gentle. There must be some other feelings, right? Since Concubine Ning is at a disadvantage in other aspects, it is better to use her strengths to avoid weaknesses and choose her own advantage." That’s fine.”

"Then Qingning will leave first, and it's getting late at night, so it's inconvenient to disturb the prince and princess."

When I think of these, I think of perilla.

"Zisu, go get something, pack these snacks, and take them back for the princess to eat."

"You don't have to be so polite, let the princess and prince eat."

"It's okay, bring it with you. The princess didn't eat anything during the banquet. It's always good to pad her stomach. The things in the post station are rough. If you eat too much, it's not good for your stomach."

"Thank you princess."

"You see, even the Suhe tribe is starting to get anxious."

"What do you mean?"

"The Suhe tribe found that they couldn't control Wei Huaqing, so they were a little anxious. They felt that they had done so many things. If they couldn't sit in Xia Qinghe's position with Jianning, then they would have done nothing. The position with Jianning is not high enough, which means Su The He clan is not high enough in Wei Huaqing's mind. Think about it, Yan Ningzi hasn't served her bed yet, and she has been made a concubine even if I say a word. She has been with Jianning for so long, and she is just a concubine. Have you ever thought about why? "

"Because the emperor doesn't like it?"

"This is nothing more than restraining the Suhe clan. If He Jianning is Concubine Ning now, do you think the Suhe clan will be so polite to us? Don't forget, the Suhe clan is a hero... Wei Huaqing may not be thinking about it." He doesn't like Jianning, but no matter how much he likes him, he can only be a concubine. It's not because he can't have children with Jianning, but because Wei Huaqing doesn't let her have children at all. Think about it, the Suhe clan's medical skills are not good enough , how could they send someone who is not fertile? Look at the concubine Yu before. The emperor only favored Wei Huaqing a few times before Wei Huaqing. Don’t you understand? What I want has always been the position of the Queen Mother, and what Wei Huaqing is guarding against is this. Therefore, it is impossible for him and Jianning to conceive, and it is impossible for Wei Huaqing to let her conceive. Just ask for an affirmative answer."

"But since she and Jianning can conceive and receive favors on weekdays, why don't they have any children?"

"Lan'er, there are many ways to prevent her from getting pregnant. There are many kinds of things in the harem, and you don't understand it very well. I have heard before that some emperors waited in bed in order to prevent their concubines from becoming pregnant. Afterwards, he gave a bowl of bird's nest. It was said on the surface that it was to replenish the body of the concubine. In fact, it contained some medicines that could not conceive. At first, it was just to prevent it once or twice. If you eat too much, you will never be able to conceive again. Yes. Although I think it is impossible for Wei Huaqing to use such a low-level method, there are countless ways to achieve the same goal, and there are many such methods in the palace."

"But if this is the case, why do you want to invite Jian Ning to sleep with you? Just don't go? Didn't the former emperor rarely favor Concubine Yu?"

"Being fond of He Jianning, first, is to appease the Suhe clan. If the Suhe clan knows that Wei Huaqing doesn't favor He Jianning at all, what do you think the Suhe clan thinks? Second, He Jianning's temperament is indeed It is different from all the women in the inner palace, and it is also different from the women Wei Huaqing has been in contact with since childhood, so Wei Huaqing still feels fresh. Third, there are only those few women in the palace. Before, in order to make Xia Qinghe happy, Most of the time was spent at Xia Qinghe's side, and it was impossible to favor Qin Wanyi, so he could only find He Jianning and Yan Ningzi. But Yan Ningzi didn't let him touch her at all, so she let He Jianning take advantage of it."

"That's right, why can't you pamper Qin Wanyi?"

"First, Qin Wanyi is a wife, which is different from these people. If you favor Qin Wanyi, everyone may not have any idea about the queen's position. Second, Wei Huaqing doesn't look down on Qin Wanyi at all in his heart. Not to mention himself, even Qin Wanyi's family was implicated, he came forward to help Qin Wanyi change her surname. He felt that it was a shame for him to have Qin Wanyi, so he would not favor Qin Wanyi at all. Just look at it now, Qin Wanyi is the queen, he doesn't Are you also unfavorable?"

"The affairs of the Guo family were not related to Qin Wanyi's affairs at that time. Besides, when the marriage was bestowed, Wei Huaqing's own status was not high, so he was matched with Qin Wanyi. If he has some skills, he doesn't have to do this Now, who can blame this? I can only blame myself. Besides, I don't think Qin Wanyi is bad, in terms of scheming, Qin Wanyi is not inferior to Wei Huaqing, he just looks down on others."

"Sooner or later, he will be defeated by Qin Wanyi. Qin Wanyi knows too many things about him, and Qin Wanyi helped to do many things. Under such circumstances, if he does something else, it's hard to guarantee that Qin Wanyi won't fight him to the death. You Don't forget, Qin Wanyi has only one younger brother now. How do you think Qin Wanyi's reaction will be if Wei Huaqing turns a blind eye? Wei Huaqing feels that he has done too much for her, and this matter can't be taken care of at all. Besides, the other side is Mr. Xia Ge, That's going against half of the court, and he doesn't care about it. But in Qin Wanyi's eyes, she doesn't necessarily think so, so I think the two of them have developed a rift now."

"You mean..."

"Well, in fact, Qin Wanyi is already half of us. Although she can't help us directly, she won't help Wei Huaqing anymore. You know, if she is on Wei Huaqing's side, we will have no chance of winning But now, we might be able to fight hard. And, have you thought about it? What is Qin Wanyi thinking in her heart? Do you think she still has a little thought for Wei Huaqing? It doesn't exist, she just because of herself There are still some remnants of the family. The position of empress is just the protection of her family, not a position that she has longed for all her life. Therefore, she is more sober than any woman in the deep palace."

"But there are so many women in the inner palace, and no one likes Wei Huaqing. That position, for everyone, is just a thing to strengthen the family's status."

"How could someone like it? Don't forget, how old was Wei Huaqing when he became the throne? Before that, if someone liked him, why would Wei Huaqing marry Qin Wanyi? Besides, who is Wei Huaqing, do you think everyone doesn't know? How could anyone like it? What you are looking at now is just the position of the emperor. Tomorrow you make some snacks and go to Fang Yixie to see Xia Qingmu, you should be able to get to know her."

"I just don't know what kind of snacks Mr. Fang's unmarried wife likes. I don't know how to make them. I heard that Miss Xia is from the frontier. Maybe she hasn't eaten those Jiangnan dim sums. Why don't you make some Jiangnan dim sums tomorrow? Let Miss Xia eat something fresh."

"That's not bad. Bring some snacks from the capital. She's bored at home and it's inconvenient to go out. Maybe she hasn't eaten a lot of things. Mrs. Fang is busy with affairs, so she may not have time to accompany her. You can also go shopping with her. good."

"Zisu, do you still have the ingredients for making dim sum? Tomorrow I will make some dim sum and visit Mr. Fang's house. If there are not enough materials, you can go buy some early tomorrow and ask for the best raw materials."

"There's still some left, I don't know if it's enough, I'll buy some for the smaller ones tomorrow and put them away, even if I don't need them, I can still store them."

"Zisu, I heard that there is an elder brother in your family who is out of work. There is still a need for someone to take care of things in the palace. I wonder if your elder brother has this idea..."

"What did the prince say? If the prince is willing to give this opportunity, how can the younger brother have no idea? The prince treats his servants so well, and if he can work for the prince, then he will naturally be willing."

"That's naturally a good thing. Also, your slave is going to come tomorrow. If you want to leave in the future, you can come and go freely. Your brother, the king is not going to sign the contract of sale. When we move the mansion , your family can directly live in the house, which is more convenient, if you don’t want to, you can also live outside.”

"Look at what the prince said, the palace is big and grand, how could you not want to, but the palace is the palace after all, it's not good for the young ones to live in the palace with the whole family."

"The Wangfu speaks about its grandeur. In fact, everyone knows that the Wangfu is just me and the princess. It is such a big place that it would be a waste to stay there. Besides, you are working in the mansion. If you live outside, wouldn't it mean that we treat the servants harshly? ? Although this king can’t make all of you rich and powerful, you still need the basics. If the servants of the palace live worse than the servants of other adults, wouldn’t this king lose face?”

"My lord, what joke are you talking about? Why would anyone say that? It's well known that your lord is kind to his servants. If someone wants to live outside, it's our own wish. How can you blame it on your lord? If the prince said so, he would not regard us as his own family. Besides, which master would return the slave registration to his servants? All masters think that the slave registration is the only thing that restrains the servants. If this thing After handing it over, if something goes wrong in the future, all the servants will run away, which master would do this? There is only the prince in the whole city, and the prince does this, how can the little one think that the prince treats us badly?"

"It's a good thing for you to think so, but you also know that everything has a price. This king has done this, and you have to do what you should do. Although there are no secrets in the palace, there are daily things. You should also pay attention, don't tell anyone who asks. You are servants of the palace now, and the first ones who can decide your life and death are the king and the princess, not others.
