Chapter 731: Original Sin

It’s not that all the women in the harem have conflicts with Chu Qing. In fact, there are not many people who are truly interfering with the interests of the family by Chu Qing, the "new local tyrant".

In other words, even if the family is disturbed, it has little to do with them, because no matter how the family does, it will not lose their expenses in the palace.

But why are most of these women hostile to them? Chu Qing can't figure it out no matter how much he thinks.

First of all, I was no longer young, and when I was in the countryside, I should marry my son. Chu Qing’s previous life was late for giving birth to a child, and she was born at the age of eighteen or nineteen;

Secondly, I have neither a beautiful face nor a slim figure nor a talent for piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, which will have no impact on women in the harem.

But it just caused their hostility, which was strange.

Actually it's not strange.

Chu Qing has only been focusing on doing things over the years, and all the people she deals with are men. She rarely looks up and thinks about what kind of person she is in the eyes of others.

At least, in the eyes of women in the harem, Chu Qing goes wherever she wants, and has money when she wants to spend money. Even if she is a widow, she is still an arrogant widow.

Also, in this magnificent palace, Chu Qing was able to enter the previous dynasty and leave the harem. Women who met these emperors could not kneel down. On the other hand, can they claim to have status?

Chu Qing even wore men's clothes in the harem, and no one could care about her; but they had to dress up every day when they got up, spend most of the day putting on makeup and changing clothes, and then... no one watched it yet.

If you don’t go out of your room, save some trouble? That won’t happen. You have to be prepared at all times and look forward to the arrival of the emperor.

Besides, others are wearing makeup. If they don’t dress up, even the palace maids feel that they have fallen out of favor. Who will respect themselves?

Therefore, Chu Qing's way of living in their eyes was original sin.

Just before coming to Princess Zhaohua for dinner, Chu Qing had already handled the knitting class that day. He said in his heart that he really did because she didn't know much.

Who knew that those women were enthusiastic and refused to leave, and insisted on chatting, saying, "Oh, I haven't had enough chats, I like to talk to Lord Chu."

The result was that one more thing, obviously he decided to take out some words they could use from Chu Qing's mouth.

Today, Concubine De "she" had time and was on the spot. It was already seen that in addition to some of these people, some of them were really curious about women being officials, there were also a few people with ulterior motives.

For example, Zhang Ping was the niece of Censor Zhang. Censor Zhang was originally from a prominent family and had also been a student of Jiang Shihong, a great scholar in Jiang Shihong; and Jiang Shihong was also the father-in-law of Zheng Chunqiu, the Minister of Works.

For example, Zhao Ben, who was born in an ordinary family, so he kept flattering Zhang Ben and started to slap in the side;

There is also Concubine Fang, a famous Fang family in Jiangxi. His grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties and he also supported Emperor Qingde when he took office.

Concubine De himself also comes from a family of military generals, and is a family that truly has the "merit of following the dragon" to Qingde. However, there is no war now, and the military generals are in a reduced power.

A few days ago, I was entrusted by my cousin, Mrs. Song, the governor of Xinlunzhou, and said something to Chu Qing in front of the emperor, but today I was implicated.

That day, Concubine De said that as long as Chu Qing was a woman, she would be less different from her concubines, and she could only exist with the emperor's eyes.

This statement weakened the possibility of Chu Qing's "rebellion". At that time, because Concubine De said that the emperor arrived soon, everyone did not react to this meaning for a while, but everyone saw the change in the emperor's attitude towards Chu Qing.

Otherwise, Chu Qing could still sit in the harem and be a teacher for them? Isn’t that equivalent to reducing them to the same seniority as a princess?

So at this time, Concubine Fang said: "I just said that Lord Chu is different from us. Last time Concubine De said that Lord Chu also has to rely on the emperor to live a smooth life;

Look, Sister Defei's words are not completely correct. Lord Chu's own abilities should not be underestimated. He led a group of men to travel to the Kingdom of Vos, buying wool and cotton;

If we were to do this, which one could do it?"

The "Four Concubines" in the harem: noble, gentle, virtue, and virtuous. Their ranks are the same, but their status in the harem is gradually reduced. Therefore, from the perspective of status, Concubine De should be higher than Concubine Xian.

However, the military generals are now weak, and Concubine Fang's family has produced three dynasties. His father is now a Hanlin scholar. He has many opportunities to approach the emperor and is very stable, so he is not afraid of Concubine De and is in a challenging position.

Concubine De's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but she didn't say anything.

Zhang and the others echoed: "That's it!"

Women in the harem can stand in front of the emperor. The emperor's preferences are not the main one. Only when the mother's family is strong is really strong. Don't you care too much about the empress dowager and the queen if you don't see them?

Only then did Chu Qing realize that Concubine De had also contributed to her affairs. No matter how effective this "power" had, she could win the love.

But the qi at this time cannot be in vain. Resuscitation is equivalent to letting Concubine De follow him even more shameless.

So Chu Qing said, “What the Empresses said is right, not right;

The right place is that Chu Qing really lives by the emperor's protection. Without the great grace given to Chu Qing, Chu Qing would not have the opportunity to sit here and talk to all the nobles today;

The wrong thing is that Chu Qing cannot be compared with the empresses and has no comparison;

Because if the emperor no longer sheltered Chu Qing, Chu Qing would have no chance to die, but he would not have the chance to be a village woman when he went home and quiet;

But the empresses will not. Even if the empresses offend the emperor, the emperor will not be like the world, either divorced or abandoned. If they cannot, the emperor will always protect the empresses."

Haha, the harem will not be separated or abandoned, otherwise where did the term cold palace* come from?

In Chu Qing's memory, it seems that the last emperor of her world was divorced by his concubine.

Chu Qing said this, "Empresses, I can't compare with you. At worst, you can live in the cold palace, but if the emperor doesn't like me, I will die.

However, in the eyes of these women, being thrown into the cold palace is better than being killed. How could it be the emperor's protection?

So my lungs were blown up one by one, and I wanted to talk back, but I was even called to have dinner with the princess. It was really angering!

*********************

Because Xiaobao complained, the emperor finally gave Xiaobao a few days of "holidays" without having to attend classes. He specially made his "desktop Cuju". He also asked Eunuch Li to designate two eunuchs to help Xiaobao. Xiaobao felt that this meal was not in vain.

He brought two eunuchs back, and it was difficult for the princes to make any small moves on Xiaobao, so Xiaobao also created opportunities.

Whether during the day or at night, as long as Xiaobao needs it, he will guide the eunuch to do things, sawing wood and finding materials; either he will either have to read books and poop when going to the toilet, or he will not be able to pull it out and let it be read for this book, anyway, he will be the two of them.

Xiaobao used the two of them as a trick to find an opportunity to contact the outside of the palace.

I saw Xiaobao rushing to the tree like a monkey and quickly tied a small bamboo tube to Xiao Gan Gan's feet, but Xiao Gan Gan waited for a while before flying away. Xiaobao knew that Xiao Gan Gan was waiting for no one nearby.

So, the next day, he followed Xiaobao's eunuch to find Eunuch Li, saying that he couldn't buy any materials Xiaobao wanted and there was no stock.

The snacks given to the princess on the Blue House did not have duck wings and seaweed, so I had to replace them with pork and dried sausages.

On the third day, the soaring prices in Kyoto caused constant quarrels in the court. The emperor went to court to think of the queen relaxing, but he heard from the queen that the Double Ninth Festival would be coming in five days, but the amount of chrysanthemums, sweaters, wine, etc. needed in the palace was not enough to reward court officials.

*Leng Knowledge: Cold Palace: It is not the name of the palace, but refers to the unfavorable concubine, the place where the prince is placed, and who the emperor does not like, and where they are locked up, the cold palace is the cold palace.

The cold palace may be a courtyard, a room, or just a wall.

The second queen of Qianlong, Ulanara, was the prototype of Ruyi in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and was cut off his hair during Qianlong's southern tour. He was sent back to the capital and was sent to the cold palace by Qianlong on the same day - Yikun Palace;

Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao (the carpenter emperor), locked his concubine Zhang in the middle of the two walls of the Chonghua Palace and starved to death;

Concubine Gong, the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, was once a palace maid next to the empress dowager. He was favored by the emperor, but the emperor looked down on her background and did not recognize her. After the empress dowager insisted, she was named Concubine Gong and gave her to the Jingyang Palace on the corner.

Concubine Wang Gong gave birth to a son, Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of Emperor Wanli, and the emperor looked down upon him. Later, because of the ancestral system, "there is a legitimate and the legitimate is a legitimate, but he has to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince, but he still leaves his mother in Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Wang Gong was locked up in Jingyang Palace for 30 years. She missed her son and cried blindly. She did not see her children and grandchildren with her hands instead of her eyes before she died. She left a sentence like "Son grew up like this, why would I hate to die?" She passed away and lived in Jingyang Palace for 30 years until she died.
