Although as the princes in the palace get older and older, the struggle to win the throne becomes more and more fierce. However, after all, they are just concubines and do not speculate on the affairs of the princes. The safety is much better than being a prince's concubine. After all, when Princess, even if that prince doesn't intend to fight for the throne, but others don't believe it and insist on killing him, there's nothing he can do about it.
Linlang couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that her second and third aunts were preparing to submit their own girls of the right age for selection in this year's talent show.
She also didn't expect that the good-looking young master Shang Zhu she had sent to the palace would instead send a girl to the palace to fight for wealth.
But this was not what she meant, so naturally she didn't say anything to the second aunt and the third aunt. After all, it was a family matter, and there was no need for her to get involved. Otherwise, in the future, someone would be favored in the palace, and the family would be prosperous. Out of envy, the third aunt would blame her for preventing their girl from entering the palace.
I just hope those two girls are lucky and either fail directly, or even though they get in, they live a safe life.
Well... because she has been living together, she knows the two girls and has a good impression of them, so if anything happens, she will help.
Of course, if she enters the palace and turns bad, like some imperial concubines, if others do not harm her but she does harm to others, then she will naturally not help the other person to survive the danger. After all, she cannot help a bad person.
But Linlang felt that it was quite difficult to keep things from deteriorating, because the palace was such a big place and people couldn't go out. The confined space could easily turn people into poisonous animals.
After all, in this era, although men are superior to women and women are trapped in the back house, at least outside, women can still engage in wife diplomacy, and going out for a walk is not a problem.
But in the palace, if you can't get out and are stuck in one place all day, people can easily become perverted.
When you don't have children, competing for favor may harm others; when you have children, it's even more serious, and you will naturally develop ambitions, wanting your son to be in power and yourself to be the queen mother.
So it can easily go bad.
The only good thing is that after Linlang's observation, the children sent to the palace by the second and third aunts' families were all voluntary. They felt that the family was in decline and wanted to make some contributions to the family. Their parents did not force them to go. Otherwise, if Those who are forced into it are more likely to become perverted, especially if they don't live well in the palace, they will easily blame everyone.
But it is better to do it voluntarily, with a goal in mind, and to work towards that goal.
The only good thing now is that according to Linlang's observation, the empress of this dynasty is a good person. Even if the concubine is not favored, her food, clothing, housing and transportation are not deprived of money. In this regard, the empress is in charge.
In some dynasties, the queen either does nothing or has her power emptied out. It is easy for the princess to show up. If the princess does not fight, she will just lie around in the palace and not be favored. She will be deprived of food by the palace, and she will not even be able to eat properly. of.
Now that the queen is in charge, these two sisters-in-law are better off. At least once they enter the palace, even if they are not favored, they will not have any problems in life.
Thinking of this, Linlang felt relieved.
In fact, she felt that if she was not favored and did not need to serve the emperor, but could still live a life of food and clothing, then sleeping in the palace would actually be okay.
It was best not to have children. After all, in this era, giving birth to a child was really like going through hell. She had genetic repair fluid, so she was not afraid. However, it was very dangerous for indigenous women to give birth to children.
Moreover, it is easy to be targeted after giving birth to a prince, so in the palace, if you don't give birth to a child and live well, you can still live a good life.
But this is Linlang's idea. It is estimated that these two girls will not think so. After all, they are entrusted by their parents and family to revitalize the family, so they naturally have to work hard. In this case, it will be much harder. After all, fighting is better than It is always much harder when the salted fish lies flat.
Linlang's husband, Li Sheng, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, we men are useless, but these girls are suffering."
Linlang said: "It sounds nice, but you should work hard, for example, this autumn, go to the next game."
Linlang's husband, Li Sheng, has a supervisor donated to him by Uncle Zhongyong, so he can directly take the exam for candidates instead of taking the scholar exam, so Linlang said this now.
When Li Sheng heard what Linlang said, he couldn't help but waved his hands and said: "I heard that the Qiuwei examination room is not a place for people to stay. I can't stand the pain. Let's forget it. I have a minor official assigned to me by my father, and I can't stand it anymore." The property my family will give me will be enough for me, not to mention how rich I am, so that’s enough, I don’t ask for much.”
When Linlang heard what Li Sheng said, she couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't urge him to make progress. After all, she was a jerk herself, so how could she have the nerve to urge others to make progress? After all, she had to lead by example and couldn't have double standards.
Although the children of the second aunt and the third aunt were all good, there were too many good girls in the world, so in the end, the child of the third aunt stayed and the child of the second aunt was not selected.
This made Linlang couldn't help but feel happy. She was really afraid that if both of them were chosen, then they would not only not be united but also compete with each other, that would be bad.
There is nothing in this world that is more intolerable than sisters killing each other.
Speaking of which, the second aunt and the third aunt are the same. Even if they want the girl to enter the palace to have a future, why send them together? They have to be selected together. Then they will compete for favors and undermine each other. In the end, the palace will affect the outside, and the second wife and the third wife will There was also a quarrel in the house, and there was disagreement. Wouldn't it mean that instead of revitalizing the family, conflicts would arise within the family and weaken the family's strength?
Now, if one loses the election, that's the best thing.
As for the third aunt girl who was selected, there was no movement for a long time after she got a gift from a talented person.
That's right. There are many beauties and powerful people in the palace. It's hard to be favored.
This is like the palace is a big company, and the emperor is the boss, who is in charge of more than 10,000 beauties in the palace (including maids. Even the maids in the palace are all pretty or above, and they will not be affected by accepting crooked melons and cracked dates into the palace. The emperor's mood), with more than 10,000 people, it is not easy to win the favor of the emperor.
Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, especially the third room, was obviously disappointed to see that the girl didn't move. After all, they still had a dream that the girl would be favored and become a favorite concubine when she entered the palace, and then there would be a third room in Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion, so that she could soar into the sky. Now, It seems that the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, no one can be a beloved concubine if they want to be.
Linlang was open-minded. Becoming a beloved concubine was like winning the lottery. It couldn't be that easy. So she had never had any hope before, so naturally she wasn't as disappointed as Sanfang.
On Linlang's side, because the mission of avenging the original body has basically been completed, and she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, she does not need a housekeeper, so now she is quite free every day, and she immediately helps the third aunt monitor the situation in the palace, so as to avoid the third aunt. My aunt's daughter was in danger in the palace, but no one rescued her.
