But he said that the palace was recruiting both maids and nuns with certain specialties. The former only recruited those under the age of eighteen, while the latter only recruited those over the age of twenty-five. Most of them were married, their husbands had accidents, and they were widowed. .
Although the maids in the palace, as long as they become female officials, they can stay in the palace and will not leave the palace. Logically speaking, the manpower is enough, but... most of the female officials in the palace are Although there are managers who have expertise in certain areas, there are not many of them. For some things, it is necessary to recruit married people from outside to come into the palace to do these things. After all, we can't keep too many unmarried women in the palace. Nowadays, there are too many phenomena of favoring boys over girls and drowning female infants. If too many unmarried women are detained in the palace, there will be more people outside who can't please them. Wife, that is not conducive to population development, and secondly it is not conducive to social stability, so the court must not put too many young unmarried women in the palace.
So sometimes when there is a need for nuns with certain specialties, the palace will recruit older women who are already married and have children to serve in the palace.
Not only can they enter the palace, but they also have a certain amount of time to leave the palace a month so that they can reunite with their families.
This is the reason why the Wang family allows their children to enter the palace to participate in the election. Otherwise, they can only recruit young palace maids to enter the palace. They are so young and have little experience. How capable they can be to help Concubine Li.
Concubine Li was naturally relieved when she received the news. You must know that since the second nun was driven away by the emperor, her life was worse than death again, and she needed a helper to help her.
I have to say that the Wang family is quite smart. If Linlang hadn't been watching the Wang family's movements, or else he wouldn't have known that their family secretly sent people to participate in the recruitment of nannies in the palace.
It stands to reason that their plan will definitely succeed, because the people they sent are very good and will definitely win. When the time comes, let Concubine Li be transferred to her side, because the person sent by the Wang family is a The cook is very good at her craftsmanship. It is normal for Concubine Li to be transferred to her own small kitchen.
The queen who is the head of the first palace in the palace has her own small kitchen. She can ask the palace for a cook herself, or she can bring someone in from home.
Most people hire someone from home to cook it. After all, you have to be careful about what you eat. How can you let someone who is worried about it cook it?
But Concubine Li had been ordered by the emperor not to bring anyone in from home, so it was normal for her to ask for a cook from the palace.
At that time, Concubine Li said that she was interested in the cook's cooking skills, so she wanted to recruit her into her own small kitchen.
Although the Wang family is very shrewd, sometimes it is not as good as God.
Before their people entered the palace, something happened with Concubine Li.
On this day, Concubine Li received news again that someone was going to harm her son.
Concubine Li was almost numb when she received such news from time to time.
Although she was devastated by the news, Concubine Li still couldn't take it lightly because several fake news would be mixed with one true news. Therefore, every time she received news, she would be on guard as if facing a formidable enemy.
Now she has learned to be smart. After making several false accusations, which made the emperor hate her, now she does not complain, but takes defensive measures to prevent the enemy from having a chance to attack. This is fine.
She will wait until her helpers arrive before taking revenge.
Now she has adopted a comprehensive shrinking policy.
However, how could the person who secretly wanted to deal with her make her cower? After all, if Concubine Li really succeeded in making her shrink, how could he deal with her? So, he had to force her to come out.
How to force it? When the enemy repeatedly caused trouble for her, in order to cut off the trouble, she would definitely have no choice but to eliminate the enemy, that is, kill the opponent. And once Concubine Li takes action, she will fall into the trap of someone in the dark.
The man in the dark had a good plan. When Concubine Li received the news that a certain concubine had repeatedly harmed her son, she defended herself again and again and was exhausted, and finally became furious and couldn't help it. Then she ran to the emperor and sued the concubine for harming her son.
Actually, of course not, that concubine did not harm her son, or in other words, even if she did it before, at least it was not her this time, but the smoke caused by someone who secretly wanted to cause trouble for Concubine Li. bomb.
So the emperor checked and found that the concubine had not done this. Naturally, he once again annoyed Concubine Li.
In the past, when Concubine Li was glamorous, she falsely accused others, but the emperor could tolerate it for the sake of her beauty. But now, Concubine Li was frequently bombarded by these news of harming her son. She was exhausted, haggard, and looked old. attitude, not at all It didn't look good. The emperor naturally lost his sympathy for her. Seeing her repeatedly falsely accusing those innocent concubines, he became angry and demoted Concubine Li to Concubine Li. He also put Concubine Li in solitary confinement and made her Stay in your own palace and reflect.
During the mourning period of the Queen Mother, there is no draft, and it is inconvenient to grant high status to the concubines, but it does not mean that the status cannot be lowered. Therefore, the emperor demoted the rank of Concubine Li to Concubine Li. There is nothing wrong with it.
As for the child being inseparable from people, the emperor allowed her to keep her with him.
Concubine Li was confused when she saw that the emperor had demoted her position.
After all, how much hard work she put in to reach the position of noble concubine. Now that she has been pushed back, it will be difficult to be promoted back.
Concubine Li really didn't expect that the emperor would demote her status.
However, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more indifferent to her - in fact, he only became indifferent after this draft. She got many beautiful girls from her mother's family, and also He bribed the female officials and left some long and beautiful show girls, hoping to use them against Linlang. As a result, these people did attract the emperor's attention, but they only occupied Concubine Li's share, making her seem to have fallen out of favor.
Of course that was before, but now she has really fallen out of favor.
The emperor seldom went to her place, and even demoted her status. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for her to get up again. After all, she was old.
There is a rule in this palace that Linlang thinks is good, that is, concubines cannot put up signs when they are over thirty-five years old.
In this way, if a person is not favored and cannot put his name on the throne, he will basically never see the emperor.
Either it was for the purpose of turning over the salted fish and giving the second wife of the Sun family a bit of a shock, or else Linlang felt that this rule would be good if she was allowed to become a salted fish, because she no longer had to see the emperor and could live her own life. It's the day.
Of course, this rule is not friendly to those concubines who want to climb up the ladder.
Even if a concubine who has climbed to the throne of the first palace cannot put up a sign, because of her high status, the emperor may still remember the concubine and go to find the concubine himself, which is better.
But for those low-ranking concubines who can no longer place their names, and the emperor cannot remember each other and will not come to find each other on his own, they are basically living as widows, which is equivalent to the loss of civil husbands, which is naturally terrible. (End of chapter)
