Qing Chuan's cousin is reborn

The emperor's southern tour lasted for three months. He went there in a grand manner, and he came back the same way. He even brought two more people back than when he went——Li Chang and her maidservant.

When Concubine Zhang Shu heard the news, she scolded her mother angrily, "Grand Concubine Shu is really useless, and she can let the little goblin take advantage of the loopholes after following the emperor all day." Then she said to herself, "I heard that Li Changzai is from the Cao family. Do you want me to go to the new Li Chang to order a dick there?"

It's no secret that the emperor sends so many things to the Cao family every year, and the girl in his family knows that she is favored.It's just that the emperor is stingy with his status, and Concubine Shu took the opportunity to save him, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be so different in status.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhang Shu is a little gloating, the era of Concubine Shu's exclusive favor is coming to an end.I hope that Li Chang can live up to expectations, and it is best to give birth to a concubine in half a year, and then promote concubine Shu to pull concubine Shu down.

Concubine Zhang Shu is narrow-minded, she has repeatedly failed to curry favor with Concubine Shu, resentment inevitably arose in her heart.

Now that she has seen the situation clearly, she knows that she is no longer likely to be favored when she is old.But it is also a good thing to be able to watch Concubine Shu being pulled down.

The maid serving Concubine Zhang said cautiously: "But I heard that this Li Chang has not been favored so far, so your empress' wish may come to nothing.

Concubine Zhang Shu's breathing was stagnant, it turned out that she just unconsciously spoke out what was in her heart.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face, she said with a straight face, "What did you hear just now?"

The maid understood what Concubine Zhang Shu meant in seconds, and immediately replied: "Did the empress say anything? But what do you want the servant to do?"

Concubine Zhang Shu was smug, "You are acquainted. You just said that Li Changzai hasn't become a favorite yet? But is it true?"

This palace lady has been with her for some years, and she is quite comfortable using it. Since she is so sensible, she doesn't plan to teach her a lesson, but instead asks another matter that she cares about.

The palace maid nodded, "The maidservant also heard it from others on the way to the imperial dining room. Many people in the palace are talking about it, so there must be no falsehood."

Concubine Zhang Shu counted with her fingers, and there were still three days before greetings on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so she would know if it was true or not.

"What else do you know?"

The maid shook her head, she only heard that Li Chang was not a favorite, but she didn't know why.

Kangxi still saved face for the Cao family, and the matter about Cao Tinglan's fate was not publicized.

In fact, Concubine Zhang Shu saw Li Changzai without waiting for three days.

When Kangxi returned to the palace, everyone in the harem went to greet him. Concubine Zhang Shu stood relatively forward, and it was easy to see two strange faces in the crowd.

These two people are not very old, they are thirteen or fourteen years old, and they can easily identify who is the master and who is the slave from their clothes.

Not only Concubine Zhang Shu, but other people in the palace were also looking at Li Changzai. They were equally curious about this 'sister' who was the first 'sister' to enter the palace in many years.

Kangxi didn't care about these gazes, he put his hands behind his back and said: "The Queen Mother is exhausted, you all go back, don't bother me."

Yun Rou originally wanted to send the Queen Mother back to the Palace of Compassion, but the Queen Mother waved her hand, "You guys are tired of this journey, and Ai's family is still moving, so go back. Xiao Shiliu, remember to come to Huang Ma tomorrow Mu play."

Elder Sixteen went to the Empress Dowager every day during this journey, and occasionally brought something with him when he went out, and he thought of giving a copy to the Empress Dowager. The more the Empress Dowager looked at him, the more she liked him.

Yinti yawned, he was a little sleepy, but he still nodded, "Huang Mamu, please have a good rest, Yinti will go back to sleep first."

When he went out to play, he was very energetic, and the carriage swayed all the way and couldn't help but want to sleep.

After bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Yunrou is also preparing to return to Yongshou Palace, she really misses her a little after being away from the palace for three months.

Just two steps away, she saw Concubine Zhang Shu coming up, her eyes were full of gossip: "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor brought back a sister from his southern tour, is it true? Where is the emperor planning to arrange her. "

Yun Rou is a little funny, is it really possible that Concubine Zhang Shu doesn't know?

She said: "It's true, the emperor immediately sealed Li Changzai and granted him Yonghe Palace."

Yonghe Palace, Concubine Zhang Shu curled her lips, losing interest immediately.

Since Wu Ya's accident, everyone privately said that the Yonghe Palace was unlucky.You see, the good concubine Xin Zheku who lives in the palace is from the background, and the emperor does not welcome her all the year round; if she hadn't given birth to an eighth elder brother, the emperor would have forgotten that there is such a person in the palace.

Concubine Zhang Jiashu was quite favored at first, because Wu Ya's affairs were also neglected by the emperor. In recent years, the emperor basically would not look for her, at most he would give something to the thirteenth elder brother when he was praised.

The gifts are also very common, the most common one is to reward two dishes, and there are basically no valuable things.

Seeing that Li Changzai looks good, she thought she could make a sudden breakthrough, but she didn't seem to kneel down before the start.

"Do you have anything else?"

Yun Rou gave Concubine Zhang a condescending look, which was quite majestic, and Concubine Zhang was so frightened that she quickly moved away.

Concubine Xuan didn't bother to look at her, she greeted Yunrou and took her away.

Li Changzai thought that the life in the harem should be a game of intrigue and strife. She saw that everyone got along harmoniously during the southern tour. She only thought that the emperor was there at that time, and most of the concubines who followed were too old to be bothered to fight for favor.Now back in the capital, there are countless beauties in the emperor's harem, and there are always some who are not convinced.

She waited for several days and found that things were different from what she had imagined, and the palace was still very harmonious these days.

She thought to herself, could it have something to do with the emperor not entering the harem these few days?

I have long heard that the emperor loves the people, and he must have accumulated a lot of government affairs during his southern tour. If he does not come to the harem, it is normal for the concubines not to fight.

Li Chang had money and her grandmother's entrustment. Under the attack of money, she finally got some news.

But the news is more or less the same.

Whether it is a palace maid or an eunuch, they all have the same rhetoric. The noble concubine in the palace has been doting on her for many years. The high-ranking concubines have a good relationship with her, and even if there are unconvinced ones, they dare not do anything to her.So it created an illusion of harmony in the harem.

Li Changzai couldn't believe it, how could there be harmony?There are only a few women in her father's backyard, and everyone looks like a black-eyed chicken.And her biological mother, if she hadn't protected her, she wouldn't know where her bones were buried.

When she first entered the palace, Li Chang lived very peacefully for a while, but later found that every time the emperor entered the harem, he would go to Yongshou Palace first, and even if he occasionally went to other palaces for dinner, he would definitely spend the night in Yongshou Palace at night.

She pulled her maid who was bought with money and asked: "Concubine Shu is so special, so there is no trouble in the front?" Aren't those censors the most like to give orders at every turn, how can they tolerate Concubine Shu like this?

The palace lady said: "Why not. I heard that there were also censors who made trouble at the beginning, but they were all dealt with by the emperor. The emperor said that the harem is his family business, and the censors are in charge of the front court. Don't stretch your claws if you have nothing to do."

They didn't know exactly how the emperor persuaded those censors. This sentence was said by a friend of hers who heard it from the Qianqing Palace.According to her sisters, the censor himself seemed to be unclean, and the emperor found a reason to dismiss him within a few days.

Later, the emperor dealt with a few provocateurs, and the matter was left alone.

The court lady is not stupid, she is not at all lucrative in the Yonghe Palace, she is still willing to exchange the news that everyone knows for some money.

As for the others, don't say she doesn't know, even if she knows, she won't reveal it all at once.

Li Changzai was completely surprised, and when the maid went out, she couldn't help crying.Even the censor turned a blind eye, what should she do.

The number of regulars is very low, especially since everyone knows that she lives in the Yonghe Palace, and those servants are even more domineering, and it is often her turn when everyone else has finished receiving.

The food in Cao's family is not much worse than that in the imperial palace. She has been with her grandmother since she was a child, and the food she eats is even better.After eating for a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked the maid to buy it with silver.

Looking at the two taels of silver in her hand, and listening to the name of the dish reported by the master, the maid's face was not very good-looking.She said: "The dishes in the empress's palace are all priced, and you can only buy three dishes at most with this money." It's not the top one.

Before Cao Tinglan could make a sound, Fuqin who followed her into the palace yelled, "How is it possible? Could it be that you bullied our master who just came here and wanted to take the opportunity to steal it?"

The palace lady felt that she was wronged. All dishes and prices in the palace were ordered by the imperial dining room, so it had nothing to do with her.She handed the silver to Fuqin, and said: "Sister, if you don't believe me, you can go to the imperial dining room to have a look. This has been the case in the palace for these years, except for the favored empress, everyone else pays the same price for everything they want to eat."

Li Chang was raising her hand to stop playing the piano, she grasped the key point, "You said these years, it wasn't like this before?"

The maid nodded and said in a low voice: "When Wu Ya was in charge of the imperial dining room, the prices for extra orders were based on the mood of the imperial dining room. Those who were favored were flattered, and those who were not favored were desperate to pick up money. Now, Concubine Shu Gui According to the rules, what price is not allowed to be exceeded for any dish, there are rules to follow."

"Concubine Shu Gui is kind, since this rule was established, the life of concubines with low status has been much easier."

Fuqin pouted, kindness?She didn't believe there was such a person in the world.

Li Changzai said: "Wouldn't the imperial concubine Shu's way of making money cut off the royal dining room, and the people in the imperial dining room didn't make trouble?"

What could have been two taels of silver, but now the price has been fixed and can only get one tael or less, and she would not be willing to change it.Although Concubine Shu's move won over the low-ranking concubines in the palace, she offended the imperial dining room, and the gain outweighed the loss.

The maid said: "How could it be? In the past, the money obtained from the imperial dining room would be given to the ladies as filial piety. I heard that the concubine Shugui has never asked for filial piety from the imperial dining room. They have much more and these are all their own. The servants don't know what they can do." How much, anyway, the servants are very happy to hear that the people in the imperial dining room."

"I heard that the Imperial Dining Room will deliver any good things to Yongshou Palace as soon as possible. Even the palace maids in Yongshou Palace have more orders than others."

Who in the palace doesn't want to go to Yongshou Palace to work as an errand, but it's a pity that the place is not easy to enter, and it doesn't matter if you just pull out a rough maid to be in the palace.
