Chapter 241 Loyal Little Maid Five
Liu Guiren's eyebrows were curved, like clouds in the distant mountains, misty and uncertain, and at the same time there was a trace of undetectable sadness in his eyes, "If I hadn't been selected into the palace, maybe... I could have stayed by my mother's side.
Xiao Tao, I didn’t want to fight for favor, it would be like staying in the palace and dying, but the battle in the harem is not as simple as you and I imagined. Some things are either your death or my death. I am really afraid that one day I will be involved, even It may also implicate parents..."
Linlang understood what the young lady meant by just saying this. The young lady probably didn’t want to argue, but if she didn’t fight for her favor, the young lady’s life would get worse and worse. That’s all, no matter how bad the life was, the two of them, master and servant, could still depend on each other. Living in a remote place, the palace will always have to eat for them anyway.
"Then I will listen to the lady in everything." Linlang also decided not to compete for favors. The women in the harem were more obsessed with each other, so it would be fine for them to stay in their own small palace.
The leader also started his own side business. For example, he accumulated some connections when he was working in the budget house. Then he relied on these connections to make some embroidery and sell it, and even treated others specially. Medicine in the palace was rare, but some Minor ailments can be relieved through acupuncture and massage.
Although Linlang didn't make a lot of money, she had accumulated a lot of good reputation. She also got in touch with some palace maids and eunuchs, and learned a lot of inside information from them. It turned out that the young lady was selected because some of her angles were very similar. The reason why I know Concubine Shu is not about how much she looks like, but about her temperament.
"It turns out it's another Qing like Wan Wan." Linlang frowned, but Concubine Shu was still alive. It was too tasteless for the emperor to blatantly find a substitute.
The most important thing is that Concubine Shu is still alive. It is absolutely impossible for her to tolerate someone who is somewhat similar to herself competing with her for favor, so what happened in her previous life happened.
Linlang doesn't plan to take their young lady to get involved in those messy things. It's best to have children. She doesn't look forward to having children. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with staying in the palace for the rest of her life. Once she's familiar with the whole palace, if it doesn't work, she can bring her with her. He held the young lady to death, and then secretly ran home to live a good life with the master and his wife.
Linlang made her abacus in the right direction, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. The young lady didn't want to go to the palace banquet, so she reported illness early and stayed in her palace. The master and servant ate a small hot pot, and there were There are some small green vegetables placed there. These small green vegetables are grown by myself using the heated kang in the side hall next to them. They have a particularly distinctive taste.
Linlang looked around and said, "To explain in detail, when spring comes, I will open up the open space behind the palace, plant a few acres of green vegetables, and raise a few chickens and ducks. By then we will have endless eggs and duck eggs. . By the way, I also found a few fruit trees in other side halls. When the season comes, we can also eat fresh fruits.”
Although life in the palace is not very good, there is still hope. Although my young lady is an unpopular noble, she still has the status of a noble and will not be looked down upon by others wherever she goes, even from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are many people who criticize harshly, but they don’t dare to go too far. After all, if this matter really comes to the Emperor and the Queen, they will not be able to eat and walk around. It is just a few things removed from the original basis. That’s all, I can still survive if I can barely do it.
When Liu Guiren first entered the palace, she actually didn't have much expectations for the palace and the emperor. She only felt disappointed and even confused about her future life. It wasn't until she saw Xiao Tao that she felt like she was alive again. .
"I asked a fellow villager in the palace to bring a letter to Mr. Wang and his wife. I don't know if the master and his wife received it when I went back. Although the young lady cannot visit the master and his wife, the maid can find ways to do it. Take a look at your relatives at the door." Linlang patted Liu Guiren's hand and said, "Miss, if I really have a chance to see the master and his wife in the future, you will be there to watch."
Hearing this, Liu Guiren burst into tears, and the tip of his nose was red. He looked like a little rabbit who had been wronged. "It's hard for you to think about me so much. As the saying goes, a palace can be restored in one day." The door is as deep as the sea. I actually don’t expect to see my parents anymore, but if this happens If there is still a chance in life, it is a blessing. "After the concubine entered the palace, she was born as a royal person and died as a ghost of the royal family. There is no possibility of leaving the palace in this life, let alone the possibility of seeing her parents. She has already been born. She rejected this thought, but Linlang gave her another hope.
In the Spring Empress Palace, the most favored one in the palace is still Concubine Shu. However, Concubine Shu is still being favored and her belly is still silent. The other most favored one is Yu Chongrong. The two are really evenly matched for favor, but she is still Concubine Shu. The concubine is superior in skills.
"Grandma, am I getting old? Why did the emperor start favoring other women? He obviously said that the person he loves most in this life is me, but in the end he let that little bitch crawl on my head, even though he was standing on his lips. On my side, my heart has long gone to that little bitch. Damn that little bitch, isn’t it just because of my youth? Well, what's the big deal..." Concubine Shu shed tears as she spoke. She touched her belly, "Sure enough, men are still unreliable. Only children are the most important. It's a pity that I don't have it. Fortunately, I have taken so many medicines over the years, but there is still no movement in my stomach.”
The nanny said with a distressed look on her face: "Miss, maybe it's just that the fate has not come. Besides, we can't have a baby. Is it possible that we can't get one from somewhere else?"
Concubine Shu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed, "There are so many concubines in the harem, but the emperor only has two princesses, not even a prince. Maybe it's not that I'm not feeling good, but..."
Grandma's heart suddenly rose, and she looked at the door with a horrified look. After finding that no one was there, she said cautiously: "My good lady, it's fine for the two of us to talk about this, but don't be fooled. Others heard it.”
Concubine Shu sneered twice, "What if others heard it? It's true that we can't get an appointment with this matter. There are three thousand real beauties in the harem."
The nanny lowered her head, "Now there are two princesses in the palace, or maybe the fate is not there. If it doesn't work, let's promote someone to come up. Liangliang has to cultivate his own power."
Concubine Shu understands what the nanny means by saying this? She just wanted to find someone to share her favor with her, but she was really unwilling to do so. Even if she didn't like the emperor and only regarded him as a trophy or a show-off, she would never allow others to get involved with the emperor.
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "I am an upright and young woman, so why do I need to promote others and dilute my favor? Isn't this causing trouble for myself?"
What else does Grandma want to say? But Concubine Shu no longer wanted to hear it. At the same time, the Queen was also talking about this matter, but the Queen wanted to resist. Concubine Shu was not doing it for her own favor, nor was she trying to win over her own people.
"I remember that during the draft, there was a concubine who looked a bit like Concubine Shu. It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman can only live in such a remote palace, and she has only been favored by two people since she entered the palace. Now, if that’s the case, why don’t I help you?”
