Those who wanted to enter the palace were not able to stay, and those who did not want to enter the palace were imprisoned. What kind of suffering is this in the world.
After bidding farewell to Lin Muyun, Sun Miaoqing got on the carriage that had been waiting at the palace gate and headed to her uncle's house.
Arriving at the gate of Zhang's Mansion, the boy guarding outside shouted loudly, "My cousin is back!"
The firecrackers were lit loudly, and the sisters-in-law, uncles and aunts came out to welcome them.
"I pay my respects to my young master."
Seeing this, Sun Miaoqing suddenly felt a sense of sourness in her heart, her eyes were red, and she quickly went up to help the person up.
"Uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law, please get up quickly. How can I ask you to salute me!"
"The etiquette cannot be abolished. Having been awarded the title of palace concubine is the difference between monarch and minister."
"If the young master doesn't let the ministers bow and let others know, they will say that the young master doesn't understand the rules."
Sun Miaoqing was speechless and could only look at them and kowtow.
"Now that the ceremony has been performed, uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law, please get up quickly. If we have anything to say, we can go in and talk."
Zhang Linghe nodded, stood up, and followed Sun Miaoqing in with others.
After entering the main room and asking everyone who was waiting to leave, Sun Miaoqing's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, asked hurriedly.
"Miaoqing, what's going on? How come you were given a sign by the emperor?"
Not only could Ms. Zhao not understand, but Zhang Linghe and his wife were also at a loss.
Of course, what you think of your children will be good, but no matter what, you must be practical.
Regardless of appearance or figure, Sun Miaoqing is indeed not outstanding.
Sun Miaoqing said, "I don't know what the emperor was thinking. He just asked me that I was my brother's sister and I was selected."
"Is it because the gift my brother gave to Concubine Hua was too generous, so it was self-defeating?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she thought of the good things sent to her like a stream of water, and patted her thigh regretfully.
"That must be it!"
"This is self-defeating, what should I do?"
Mrs. Zhao regretted it for a while, but was afraid that Sun Miaoqing would be frightened, and then comforted her, "The matter is now over, there is no point in regretting it anymore."
"Being able to enter the palace is something no one can ask for. Fortunately, with Concubine Hua as your backer, it will be easier for you after entering the palace."
[Concubine Hua is a deep pit. If I really follow her, not only will I have to die, but the whole family will have to die. It will be easy. 】
[Alas, Nian Gengyao is proud of himself. The Emperor and Queen Mother have long been wary of their brother and sister. Otherwise, why not let her have children. 】
Zhao clearly saw Sun Miaoqing's lips clenched, but she heard her voice in her ears, and she also said something shocking, but when she thought about it carefully, she did make sense.
It is said that when the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked.
Nian Gengyao was originally a slave of the emperor, and he had the merit of serving as a dragon. He was very effective in the previous dynasty, and his sister doted on him in the harem. It can be said that flowers are blooming, and fire is cooking.
After so many years of grace, if it weren't for the illness, it would be a bit unreasonable to have no children for so many years.
But how did Miaoqing know this?
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and doubtful. Everything she looked at seemed suspicious.
Zhang's aunt said, "Life in the palace is not that easy. There is only one emperor. If you are not favored, you will not be able to see your husband more than once a year."
"If this is the case, it is better to go and please the Queen Mother after entering the palace. If Miaoqing can protect her, we can feel more at ease."
Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhao both looked worried about Sun Miaoqing's future, but Uncle Zhang was extremely optimistic.
Although I was surprised that my niece could be chosen, it was better to have someone in the palace than no one.
The emperor doesn't have many heirs. If Sun Miaoqing is lucky enough to give birth to an heir, even if it's just a princess, he might be able to benefit from it.
"Okay, Miaoqing can enter the palace because of the emperor's grace. It's too late to be happy. Why are you still sad?"
"The emperor's heir is the most important thing. As long as Miao Qing can give birth to a child for the emperor, there will be nothing to worry about in the future."
"It will be some time before we can enter the palace. Tomorrow we will invite Divine Doctor Li to take good care of Miao Qing."
Aunt Zhang glanced at her husband with disgust, what did he know?
Although the concubines in the palace are all high-class wives, they cannot be compared with ordinary concubines.
But concubines are concubines. With so many women competing for a husband, it is destined to be difficult.
In men's eyes, they only see fame, wealth, and the dignity of the prince, his mother, and his family. How can he see their tears?
But she couldn't just say this, otherwise it would add fuel to the fire and make Miao Qing even more fearful about the future.
Zhao said, "I have been waiting all day today. My uncle and aunt must be tired too. Let's go back and rest first."
"It's good that Miaoqing has my nephew and wife here with me."
Sun Miaoqing also said, "Sister-in-law is right, uncle, aunt, go and have a rest. It doesn't matter here."
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang nodded, "We're leaving first. You two have finished your dinner and have an early rest."
Sun Miaoqing said obediently, "Congratulations to my uncle and aunt."
