"Greetings to your Majesty."
"Mom, get up quickly, get up quickly," the concubine Empress hurriedly helped Zhang up and pouted, "Mom, there are no outsiders here, what kind of etiquette do you want to show to your daughter?"
"The etiquette cannot be discarded!" Mrs. Zhang looked at her eldest daughter with a smile. This child has been sensible since she was a child. She is good-looking and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is this child...
"Has the emperor been here recently?" Madam Zhang asked.
The concubine nodded shyly, with a sad look on her face, "I'm here, I'm here, but this belly... Oh! Mom, I'm here today..."
"It's not a matter of your sisters. I need to discuss it with you." Mrs. Zhang also sighed and said: "This mother really doesn't want to let those concubines come in. Even if she leaves the mother with her son, it will be in vain. It’s cheaper for them!”
"There is nothing we can do about it," the concubine also said bitterly, "Who makes my daughter feel unhappy? It's been three years. If I keep waiting, I'm afraid... Well, let's not talk about this anymore, mother. Have you chosen the right person for this visit?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded and sneered: "Ever since I released the news, your third and fourth sisters have been very attentive. I'm afraid they can lick your mother's feet with their tongues right now!"
"Hmph!" Jia Concubine smiled contemptuously, "You are a spineless thing."
"Their aunts are all in my hands. I'm not afraid of them being dishonest, but when it comes to being smart and good at talking, Xiao Si has the upper hand." At this point, Ms. Zhang suddenly laughed, "But Xiao Wu, this child, It’s hard to say.”
"Xiaowu, didn't Mom say that she doesn't go out all day and is just a mouthless gourd?" Jiabi snorted: "Why, is she begging Mom this time?"
"Please, but," Madam Zhang said a little ridiculously, "I'm just asking for my permission to let her become a monk and become a sister-in-law! She said she doesn't want to get married in her whole life."
"What? To be a sister-in-law?" The concubine was very surprised and asked doubtfully: "Are I just pretending to show you?"
"I originally thought so, but based on my observations over a long period of time, it shouldn't be the case. She really wants to become a sister-in-law."
The concubine had no feelings for her concubine sister at first, and was unwilling to discuss the matter in depth, so she asked: "Does the mother mean to let the fourth sister in?"
"No!" Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said very seriously: "I mean, why not let your fifth sister come in!"
"Ah!" The concubine's eyes widened and she looked into her mother's eyes in surprise, "Mom, what I want is a helper, not a blockhead! What can the fifth sister do with her temperament?"
"As long as she can get pregnant, you don't care whether she is wood or iron!" Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at her daughter, "Think about it, if someone is too smart, wouldn't it be a disaster if something happens in the future? It would be better to be this idiot. !”
"But can the emperor like her?"
"It's better if you don't like her! As long as you find a way to send her up, this is on the bed, isn't that what it is? It's better if you really get pregnant and the emperor doesn't care about her. We just happen to... Send her away without realizing it!" Mrs. Zhang whispered.
"Mom is right," the concubine rubbed her fingernails against the kang table, making a harsh sound. "It's easier to play with the dumber ones, and you can save yourself the trouble of being charming!"
In this way, Shen Ruochen was forcibly sent to the palace.
I wanted to keep the little walnut, but this stubborn girl insisted on following her. My aunt also begged for a sweet treat, so I had no choice but to take it with me.
"Silly girl, do you regret it?" Shen Ruochen entered the palace with a small baggage, nothing except a little money and a few clothes. But I brought in a small soup pot, which was a kind of comfort.
Xiao Taohe looked at the small wing at the back of the palace and said, "I don't regret it if I can be with Miss! Miss, don't worry, although this room is not as big as our house, there is a small kitchen in the back. I'll order some sweet potatoes or something in the evening, and we'll eat around the stove."
"Okay!" Shen Ruochen nodded in agreement. The food in the palace was just delivered. This night, it was just two green vegetables, a bowl of soup, and a small bowl of rice. I really lost my appetite after eating it. If I hadn't brought it secretly, I ate some stinky tofu and couldn't even swallow the food.
"I have to take a rest, I'm exhausted this day!" Shen Ruochen fell on the bed, "Call me while you're roasting sweet potatoes!"
"Okay! Miss, please rest."
When the moon was rising on the branches, the concubine in the front hall thought that it was time to go and have a look after neglecting them for so long, so she said slowly: "Let's go and see my good sister!"
Through the window, she heard voices inside. The concubine stopped and heard two people in the room talking:
"Jiaconcubine is so kind. She must know that we are too tired today and you can't see us, so let us have a good rest."
"Yes! My eldest sister is such a nice person. We'll go to sleep after eating for a while. It's best if she doesn't wake us up tomorrow. Let's sleep and wake up naturally."
"But I heard that nanny said that we can't save the palace until daylight!"
"You're stupid! That's the imperial concubine, and neither are we. Who cares about us? If someone from my sister comes and calls us, we'll just get up quickly and just go back to sleep, right?"
"Miss, you are smart!"
"Eat it quickly! It's so delicious. I'd love to get some more chestnuts."
"Then I'll take a closer look next time. I'm not familiar with the terrain this time."
"Yes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you succeed."
The concubine’s face turned green outside. I dared to show off to others and show off my power, but they were still here thanking me and praising me as a good person! Why does this feel so weird?
"Master, are we still going in?" the girl Guizhi asked in a low voice.
Jiabi calmed down her expression and said, "Let's pass it on."
"Sister, why are you here?" Even though she was mentally prepared, Shen Ruochen's face with a mouth full of sweet potatoes still made the concubine frown a little when she walked in.
Also, on the sleeves, hands, corners of the mouth... He and the girl were sitting on the ground and chewing. There were bare skins all over the floor, and they were crushing them with their feet...
What kind of player is this?
Jiabi managed to maintain her grace, "Sister, didn't you have enough to eat tonight? But the food that was delivered was not delicious?"
"It's too plain. I'll be hungry soon," Shen Ruochen smiled in a flattering manner. The concubine could see clearly that she actually scratched her hair with her sweet potato pulp-filled hands, but luckily, she just scratched her hair. Two times.
"Fifth sister, if you need anything, if you have something you don't like, just tell my sister, you're welcome." Jiabi suppressed the nausea in her heart and smiled.
"It's nothing, it's all good, hehe," Shen Ruochen giggled again.
The concubine really couldn't think of anything else to say, so she had to stand up and said: "We will have a long time chatting in the future, so you should rest for now."
"Sister," Shen Ruochen suddenly spoke, and the concubine thought to herself: Sure enough, she still can't help but want to ask, right? My mother is still telling the truth, isn’t she just a fox?
