When He Yao walked outside the door of Lin Wanqing's palace, she heard the sound of Lin Wanqing inside, who got angry and threw things in her palace after learning that Lin Hanyan was going to be promoted to concubine Shu. After listening for a while, He Yao couldn't help but kicked open the door of the palace and walked in. Lin Wanqing, who was losing his temper when he saw He Yao's arrival, looking for faults and even scolding the maids and eunuchs around him, couldn't help but be stunned. The vase he was holding in his hand couldn't help but put it down.
For He Yao, the uncle, and now the noble concubine. Even though Lin Wanqing has developed a somewhat arrogant temper now, she is still somewhat afraid in her heart. Seeing Lin Wanqing like this, he looked at the porcelain fragments scattered around the hall. He Yao, who really had a headache, waved to the maids and eunuchs in the palace to clean up quickly and leave. Then she looked at Lin Wanqing and said: "What are you doing? You are not happy, why are you venting your anger on the people around you? What are you doing? , aren’t you afraid of scaring Hui’er?
"Look at you, you still look like a royal concubine? How are you different from those shrews in the countryside? How can you teach Hui'er well and set a good example for your children like this? How many times have I told you Once again, don’t take it out on the people around you. If they are really resentful, how can you treat you like a kid? This is the palace, not the original Baisha Hall. No one will spoil you. . How can you be tired if you use your brain too much before you speak or do something?"
After He Yao finished speaking, Lin Wanqing said with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle Master is now a noble concubine and is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. In this palace, it can be said that one person is less than ten thousand people. The birth is not only the eldest son of the emperor. , Your Majesty not only loves your uncle, but also has no respect for others. Your uncle is my uncle, and more importantly, mother is more important than son. Not to mention being a noble concubine, even if you are a queen in the palace, I have nothing to say. But why should she, Lin Hanyan? She was just a guilty princess, so why should she climb on top of me? "
"In terms of being with Your Majesty, I was much earlier than she was. In terms of children, I have already given birth to a prince for Your Majesty. She has been with you for so many years, but she has not even hatched an egg. To have an adopted daughter who hangs around in front of Your Majesty all day long, What you can raise is what you raise. It is not a bloodline of the Tian family. Even if His Majesty loves you for a while, so what. When it comes to serving Your Majesty, I am more dedicated than she is. When it comes to protecting Your Majesty, although my martial arts is not high, it is better than hers. People who are powerless are too strong.
"But I'm just a concubine now. Why can she be named a concubine all of a sudden? We people don't rise from the lower ranks step by step. But what qualifications does she have that she can climb above everyone all at once? ? Your Majesty wants to give her a title. This is His Majesty’s heavenly grace. I am not qualified to say anything. But she can directly make her a concubine. Who knows that she used shameless and charming tricks to confuse His Majesty and give her a widow? A remarried person with such a high status? Is she worthy?"
Lin Wanqing's complaint made He Yao feel angry all of a sudden. However, facing the niece in front of him, He Yao finally suppressed his anger. After hesitating for a moment, he asked people to summon Zhu Xing'er and Xiao Ping. He looked at the four girls in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Wan Qing, and Myolie? Do you really think I have the ability to keep such a large harem in order? Or do you really think I have that ability? You still don’t know my origins."
"Not to mention managing such a large palace, even managing the residence of an ordinary wealthy family requires accumulated experience over time. Before entering the original British Prince's Palace, I was not a manager in Baisha Hall. Even if I had managed Baisha Hall Things, but how can the small Baishatang in those days be compared with the palace today? People who come from a wealthy family have been exposed to things since childhood. Are the things that we, the people of the world, can have access to? Don’t talk about me, it’s just Apart from the fact that the Queen has a cold temperament and is unwilling to take care of things."
"She is far from a qualified Lord of the Sixth Palace. Duan Jin has this ability, but she is born with a loose and careless character. I will tell you clearly today that the reason why I can With Ziyu, I can barely maintain the daily life in this palace, relying on Hanyan to help me from behind. If she hadn't been behind, helping me to maintain it with all my strength, this palace might have been in chaos. However, she didn't want to It’s just to show off. One reason is because her identity has never been clear, and there are some things she can’t say.”
"But the most important thing is that she has never thought about fighting for anything, and her mind is extremely pure. There are many things that she can clearly stand up for and do better, which will be more conducive to stabilizing her position in His Majesty's heart. But she has never She never said anything and was always helping us silently behind the scenes. She was even less willing to take those things and get something for herself. Hanyan is an extremely smart person, she always knows what she wants. She never gets involved with other people Something, or deliberately grabbing something.”
"Tell yourselves, who doesn't have some thoughts? Maybe it wasn't in the British Palace, maybe it wasn't in Xiyuan. But now, one by one, they have entered the palace and taken the throne, and now they have all given birth to princes. As a princess, her status is different from before. Do you dare to say that you have no small thoughts? If nothing else, I, He Yao, am convinced that she granted this concubine position. She understands etiquette, knows how to advance and retreat, and is not arrogant. Not indulgent. In this regard, how can yours compare?"
"She is a smart person. To be honest, I have experienced a lot more than you. I have never seen a woman as smart as Han Yan. And her smartness is never shown on the outside, but in her bones. You guys You know, even if His Majesty encounters any difficulties in the government, he is willing to talk to her. Han Yan can often help His Majesty figure out solutions and methods in a few words. One of you counts one, and there is that person. Can Your Majesty talk to you about government affairs?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty does not allow the harem to interfere in government affairs, let alone interfere in government affairs. But have you ever thought about why Your Majesty is willing to talk to her about troubles, but never talks to you? When did you meet? Was Hanyan pampered because of this? Or was she promoted or given a job after seeing her family? Every time her natal family came to the palace, did you see what Hanyan did? And that time when you saw her grinding her teeth? Your Majesty, have you done something for her family? Are you on the right track and not offside? Which of you can do that?"
"I know that Wanqing is not the only one who is dissatisfied with smoking directly into the title of concubine. I'm afraid Xing'er is also a little dissatisfied. Especially since you two have given birth to princes for His Majesty. But I will tell you clearly today , His Majesty only loves you because you are his women, the women who bear children for him. But he respects Han Yan. Even if Han Yan never has children in his life, Your Majesty will never get tired of her. But It's different for you, can you guarantee that your beauty will always be like this?"
"The only thing you are better than her now is your age and beauty. But can your beauty last a lifetime? Or will you stay so young all your life? If Your Majesty is willing, how many people will be brought into the palace every year? You are young and beautiful now. , but if your Majesty thinks that at any time, someone younger and more beautiful than you will be brought in. The favor you get with your beauty is only temporary. Like Hanyan, your Majesty can respect and love you from the heart, then It’s for a lifetime.”
He Yao had already reached this point, but Lin Wanqing was still a little unconvinced and said: "I come from a family of officials, so naturally I read a lot of poetry and books. In this regard, those of us from Baisha Hall are indeed far inferior to her. . But no matter how she said it, no matter how high her status was originally, following His Majesty was just a widow remarrying. Although we were born in a rough place, no matter what, we followed His Majesty innocently. We were still the first batch to follow His Majesty. Why should she overwhelm us all around us?"
"Besides, what's the matter with His Majesty's respect and love for her? In terms of age, we are all much younger than her. It is true that our beauty cannot last us a lifetime, but how long can her beauty last? We are indeed I can’t share your worries with Your Majesty, but why does she, a woman, have to worry about state affairs? Is that what women should worry about? We don’t discuss state affairs with His Majesty because we all abide by our duties. A woman’s duty is to bear children for men. Who? Like her, she always pretends to be noble and hypocritical."
Lin Wanqing was still unconvinced by what she said. Her tone was full of sarcasm and even some insults to Lin Hanyan, which made He Yao's head buzz. Seeing her unrestrained look, He Yao was really furious, so he went up to her and opened her mouth. Lin Wanqing was suddenly stunned. Seeing that this girl was still arrogant, He Yao couldn't help but said angrily: "Lin Wanqing, you don't know that life and death is your own business. Don't hurt them, let alone the children."
"Don't even think about it. Han Yan just helped me and Zi Yu keep the harem smooth without having to show up. With your little brains, if she wants to persecute you, even if she kills you a thousand times, you will be worse off than dead. Yes. In the past few days, everyone has noticed your performance. They don’t want to argue with you. If you really don’t care and insist on running to your own death, then hand over the child. For the sake of Baishatang For the sake of the whole family, I can’t let my child seek death because of you and suffer a lifetime of punishment with you.”
"How long has passed since Dong Qianhong's incident, have you forgotten it? Before that incident, Dong Qianhong's status in the palace was worse than that of you? You Lin Hanyan and Zhu Xing'er are concubines, and she, Dong Qianhong, is also a concubine . Even to a certain extent, Dong Qianhong is more favored than you in front of His Majesty. But look, what happened to Dong Qianhong? When Dong Qianhong was carried out, you were also there to watch with your own eyes. Could it be that Dong Qianhong Have you really forgotten the warning you bought with your own life?"
"No matter how much Your Majesty favors you, His Majesty has a bottom line in his heart. If anyone tries to cross the bottom line, His Majesty may not show mercy to you. If you, Lin Wanqing, are desperate for death, I will not stop you. When the time comes, you Just don't regret it yourself. And Myolie, Xiao Ping, you also listen to me clearly. I don't care what you think about this matter. But on this matter, be honest with me and don't follow her. .Don’t imitate your senior sister, don’t make trouble until I can’t protect you.”
"If you want to be promoted to a title, there is no problem. Your Majesty and your empress have said it more than once, teach your children well and do your part well, and what is due will be given to you. But if anyone makes trouble in private, Dong Qianhong is yours Lessons from the past. I don’t ask you to read as many poems and books as Hanyan and Sister Cai to relieve His Majesty’s worries. But when you have nothing to do, read a few more books. Whenever you use your brain more, you will be Hanyan’s Jin Fengli , if anyone is unhappy at this time, don’t blame me for turning against you."
