After hearing Mrs. Wen's words, Huang Qiong stood up and came to them, gently lifting Mrs. Wen's round chin. But he said: "I am not in a very good mood today and want to relax. I hope that you two will not attack my temper. If you satisfy me, I will not treat you badly. My temper, You should know better than to offend me at this time."
Just when Mrs. Wen wanted to say something else, she was immediately blocked. It wasn't until the woman was out of breath and drooling that she was released. Huang Qiong, who was so angry, didn't care about anything else and directly turned the woman over and pressed her on the edge of the bed. Mrs. Wen Er, who was obviously timid and usually always took the lead with her sister, was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she trembled.
It was not until Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Wu received Huang Qiong's look that they forcibly helped Mrs. Wen to the bed regardless of Mrs. Wen's struggle. In fact, Hu and Wu did not originally want to do this. But the second daughter, who also knew this temperament, although hesitant, finally followed Huang Qiong's request. The plump figures of the two girls were unusually tight, which made Huang Qiong reluctant to leave them even afterward.
But in the end, under Hu's pleading eyes, it was left to Liao. When Huang Qiong got up and left the next day, he looked at the two daughters who were still sleeping due to exhaustion. Under the service of Hu and Wu, Huang Qiong got dressed. I looked at the two girls, because they are getting better today. Even though he knew that the two girls were pretending to sleep, Huang Qiong turned around and left without saying anything.
After Huang Qiong left, Mrs. Wen, who was still sleeping on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the pain all over my body, tears flowed down involuntarily. She was originally a lady, and after she got married to Wen Taiyi, the couple always respected each other as guests. Wen Taiyi, who had experienced hardships, even though he had several concubines outside, he loved her very much.
What happened last night? It was almost forced. Even if she knew that she was no longer a high-ranking official's wife, but a family member of a criminal official who was confiscated into the palace as a slave, this situation could not be completely avoided. The biological mother of the current Supreme Emperor is also a family member of a criminal official who was confiscated and sent to the palace. After being favored by Emperor Sejong, the current Supreme Emperor came into being.
What's more, although she never knew her husband's true identity. But for this young emperor, he had some unusual preferences from other officials and wives. Therefore, after being punished and confiscated to the palace, my heart was hanging for a long time. It had been a while since they entered the palace, but the emperor didn't even look at them, thinking he could escape.
But I didn't expect it, but it was still difficult to escape. Thinking of her husband who was sent to the guillotine by Huang Qiong, and now she lost her virginity to him, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but feel sad. If she hadn't learned some of the rules in the palace from her husband, I would have made my sister cry in her arms. Especially when she saw that her sister had more bruises than herself, she felt that she had implicated her sister.
When my sister married Mr. Wen, I was the one who pushed for it. My sister, who has always liked elegance, was not willing to marry the second young master Wen, who was still an eighth-rank official. Especially the second young master Wen, who is also a concubine of the Wen family. But when I married into the Wen family, I felt that although the second young master Wen was not full of poems and books, he was still elegant and responsible. And there are only two brothers in the Wen family.
There are no other brothers, not even a sister, and none of the parents-in-law are here. If the girl also marries over, she will have a sister-in-law relationship with him. Brothers and sisters can take care of each other in many matters. The most important thing is that he was able to be married to the Wen family by the Supreme Emperor and became a special case among ordinary officials, which is enough to show that the Supreme Emperor valued the Wen family in the first place.
The second son of the Wen family was directly promoted to the eighth-grade military attaché from his humble beginnings. This was the special decree of the Supreme Emperor at that time. The whole family believes that the Wen family's success is just around the corner. Therefore, he first talked through his father and almost forcibly married his younger sister who already had a sweetheart but was too timid to resist. In recent years, her husband's official position has been rising all the way, reaching a high position of second grade.
His younger uncle also benefited from her husband's honor and reached the position of commander of the Eighth Yulin Army and the Longxiang Army. Whenever there is a festival, or when there is some big or small matter at home, the officials who come to the door cannot push the door open. My sister's original sweetheart has been around for so many years, but he is still an imperial eunuch with a background as an elected official. The difference was so great that she never regretted it. ,
Even she knew that compared to her husband, who had only taken a few concubines in order to pass on the incense because he had never given birth to a son, her brother-in-law was just a playboy. Not only did he have more than ten concubines in the house, but he also had several concubines outside, and there were also lovers in several brothels in the capital. After the girl got married, her life was not happy at all, she just kept trying to hold on.
In addition, as the eldest lady of the housekeeper, she was her biological sister, so she was not bullied by those concubines. But she still doesn't regret breaking up her sister. Because your father's official life was full of ups and downs, she had long understood that all those love affairs were false. Only if the man he marries is powerful can he keep his family. Even if you don't have power for the time being, you still have to have some potential.
She also knows that beauty is a disaster. She knew how beautiful she and her sister were, and if she found someone with no power or ability, it would only bring endless disaster to herself. Although my sister's sweetheart is a nerd, he is studious and motivated, but a scholar cannot protect her, let alone the family. Life should not only focus on the present, but also the long-term and future.
But who would have thought that the Wen family's prominence would only last for more than ten years before they would end up being confiscated. The ex-husband and uncle had their heads separated. Among the family members of Hefu, more than ten men were killed, and the rest were all exiled to either Ningxia Mansion, Qianzhong Road, or even further to West Sichuan Road. The female family members were punished as slaves in the palace, and those who were sent to the Jiaofang Division were sent to the Jiaofang Division.
The once prominent Wen Mansion has now vanished into thin air. She also went from being a fifth-grade imperial concubine to a sin-ridden slave in the palace. He has only one daughter, who is only sixteen years old this year, but she was also assigned to the Jiaofang Division.
My sister's two children, the daughter was sent to the Jiaofang Division together when she was thirteen years old. Because his son was too young, he was only six years old, so he was the only one in the family who was not assigned. Instead, she was handed over to a mother-in-law and taken back to her husband's hometown to raise her. We were once a good family, but they were also scattered. You are so tired that you have lost your virginity to this emperor, and you don’t know where your future will be from now on?
Maybe he will be released only when he is old and frail. If I hadn't persisted at that time, how would my sister have suffered this crime? Even if you just live a simple but happy life. At this moment, besides apologizing to her sister, there was nothing else in her heart. What made her even more miserable was the future fate of her daughter and her niece, two girls who were assigned to the Jiaofang Division.
As a woman from an official family, she knew very well what kind of place Jiaofangsi was. Where are the girls sent, and what fate awaits them? As a mother, she couldn't even think about it. Because she knew that once a girl was sent there, she would have almost no future. The best outcome waiting for them is to be redeemed as concubines.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen felt a little guilty towards her sister. She also knew that this was not a place for two people to stay for a long time, so she reluctantly struggled to put on the clothes that Hu had prepared in advance with her sister. They declined Mr. Hu's suggestion to let them rest for a while, and supported each other to leave Mr. Hu's place. This is the palace of the emperor's concubines, and it is not a place where they should stay for a long time.
But when the two people just left the courtyard of Hu's palace, the two young eunuchs waiting outside saw the two people coming out. But he led the two of them to a small courtyard near the imperial library, pointed to the courtyard and said: "Long live the Lord, this will be your residence in the future. From now on, you will be treated like a female official in the palace, every month. I will give you a salary and provide you with daily clothing."
"Long Live Lord has given orders that you don't have to be on duty today and have a good rest. From now on, if you need anything, just ask Grandma Wu who is still in charge of sleeping. You can bring back the books in the royal library generously after you go on duty. Look. Just don’t lose it or break it, let alone read it in the royal library. If the candles sent out in the palace are not enough, just ask Grandma Wu to get it."
"This is the Grandma Wu who the Lord Long Live ordered his servants to look for before he went to court early. Grandma Wu knew about your affairs, so she didn't transfer anyone in the palace to you. Instead, she assigned two people you are familiar with from elsewhere. Now. Waiting in the courtyard, you will know when I see you. When we arrived, Grandma Wu specially told the slaves that if you need anything, you can just come to her directly."
The Grandma Wu mentioned by the eunuch is none other than Wu Ziyu, who assists He Yao in managing the daily affairs of the harem and is now the Shangqi Bureau. Originally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in charge of the concubines' sleeping arrangements. After Huang Qiong came to the throne, in order to weaken the now overly powerful Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Shanggong Bureau, which was in charge of the affairs of the harem, four separate bureaus were established according to the old practice of the former Tang Dynasty. Wu Ziyu is the chief sleeper and manages bedside affairs.
He also assisted He Yao in taking charge of the newly established three bureaus of Shangshi, Shangfu and Shanggong. The Shang Palace Bureau, which was originally in charge of the female officials in the harem, now has very little real power left due to the incident involving the concubines in the past. Only Shang Yi, who is in charge of the etiquette of the harem, is left. Although not many people in the harem knew about the fact that Wu Ziyu, the minister, also served as the bedchamber. But the Grandma Wu mentioned by the eunuchs was extremely powerful.
Who is Wu Ziyu? As soon as Huang Qiong opened his mouth, he knew that this master must have blessed him last night. Wu Ziyu was a smart person and made arrangements immediately. Huang Qiong did not intend, at least not now, to give the second daughter the status of concubine, so Wu Ziyu gave the second daughter the status of a female official. She was arranged to become a female official in the Shang Dormitory Bureau, and her main duty was to take care of the imperial library.
At this time, I also knew that these two women might not rise to the top in the future, but their status would definitely be different. Therefore, when this thoughtful eunuch explained these things, his tone and attitude were always gentle. However, after the explanation, he didn't stay much longer and hurried back to restore the life of Grandma Wu. Only two women were left, smiling bitterly at each other in silence.
But now their whole bodies were sore, so the two girls could only sigh and then helped each other into the yard. But after entering the courtyard, the two people who came out and hugged them directly made the two girls extremely happy. The two people already in the yard were none other than their daughters. Seeing their daughter who had been separated for several months, the two daughters couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
