The joys and sorrows of the concubines in the palace are closely related, but compared with ordinary people, they are essentially no different.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after all, only a few people could visit their relatives outside the palace, and faint sounds of crying could be heard in the gorgeous palaces everywhere.
Gao Baoer couldn't hold it back and cried to his uncle.
After Gao Biaoren received some uncertain news, he felt a little more relaxed. He comforted his niece a few words and made promises again and again...
This is what the title should mean. The Gao family in Bohai is now in a precarious situation, and Gao Baoer in the palace occupies the position of Concubine De. Even though the two families did not get along well before, and could even be said to be quite hostile, Concubine Gao De is still Gao De.
It's a must to ensure worry-free choice.
Gao Baoer felt a big stone fall in his heart when he got the promise from the head of the clan in person. This was much more reliable than having someone send a message from outside the palace.
The support from the family is not only as simple as the clan members holding important positions in the outer court, but also various benefits in terms of financial, material and human resources.
For example, the concubines in the palace need to reward the palace people around them from time to time to ensure their loyalty and not to add seasonings to their meals.
In addition, the concubines in the palace also need to give each other some gifts. In addition to pleasing the queen, the concubines, etc., the offerings must be carefully selected.
Their salaries and rewards are not enough to win over people's hearts, so they naturally need strong support from outside the palace.
Especially if you need to befriend someone in the palace, if you can't do it yourself, you can ask someone to befriend her family outside the palace. If the family is effective, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
This is the daily life of concubines, no different from being an official.
Not long after Concubine Gao De entered the palace, she was lucky enough to be promoted to the position of Concubine De, taking advantage of the change of dynasty. However, her position was already unstable. The Gao family suffered a serious fall, and the feudal lord was replaced by two people in an instant.
One can imagine her panic in the palace. Today Gao Biaoren came to the palace to see her, which made her very embarrassed, but on the other hand, it was also a good thing for her.
Gao Baoer is like this, and Wang Zhen on the other side is the same.
Wang Zhen was granted the title of Concubine Shu after Li Po ascended the throne. Because she was brought into the palace when Li Po was the king of Han Dynasty, although she was young, she had sufficient qualifications. She was also on good terms with Ashina Tianxiang, the eldest princess, etc., so she was in the palace.
It’s much more moisturizing than Gao Baoer’s.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, brothers Wang Shiyun and Wang Shiwei came to the palace to see him.
Needless to say, Wang Shiwei, from Jinyang to Chang'an, only focused on letting his daughter get by, and showed little restraint in drinking and sex. He was the kind of person the emperor liked to see most. In a few years, he will probably be a useless person.
Wang Shiyun was different from him. He had returned to Chang'an less than half a year ago and had languished in Luoyang City. After Wang Shichong's defeat, he was still able to suppress the officials and people in the city and keep Duan Da's army out of the city. There was no problem with his talent.
After his return, Li Po met him and made him the Duke of Return, the Doctor of Yinqingguanglu. He was given a palace, gold and silver silk and satin, a number of palace attendants, and he was treated with great courtesy.
But he was not given the actual position. Who made him the brother of the Emperor Wang? Once he became a relative of the emperor, he would naturally have to bear the weight of being a relative of the emperor.
If he hadn't brought back some ministers of Zheng State to replenish Chang'an's talent pool and show them to the people who surrendered, it would not be impossible for them to be killed.
……………………
Wang Shiyun is not his younger brother Wang Shiwei, he has many things to worry about.
Their brothers were doing things in Luoyang for more than a day or two. For more than ten years, Wang Shichong had been tormenting in Henan, killing countless people.
Needless to say, those leaders of the rebel army followed Li Mi to attack Luoyang and forged countless blood feuds. Even if some people later voted for Emperor Wang, they had no choice but to do so. If Wang Shichong was still alive now, there would be a long line of people who wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
The whole Zhuque Street is full of wealth.
There are also those Luoyang nobles. For example, Emperor Wang killed Dugu Ji, who was a member of the Dugu family, and killed Pei Renji, who was a descendant of the Pei family in Hedong.
Also, the Changsun family, who is now favored in Chang'an, was forced by Wang Shichong to flee to Chang'an.
Just thinking about this made Wang Shiyun feel cold all over and couldn't sleep well.
If Li Po had not been forced by the situation, he had married the Wang family's daughter, otherwise he would not have come to Chang'an to seek death even if he had gone to Dou Jiande. In recent years, countless Luoyang families have fled westward. If no one had protected them, they would have been killed.
My brother tore it apart.
So it is said that he brought his younger brother to the palace to seek an official position.
It took half a year for him to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the palace on the first day of the new year to meet her, which shows that he really has a good heart and has enough patience, and he is not in a hurry to arouse suspicion by jumping up and down.
And he wants to ask for a release, Chang'an is too dangerous...
From this point of view, Wang Zhen is far behind Gao Baoer. There is no one outside to help her, and she still needs her support in the palace. Where can you explain her?
……………………
Wang Zhen was wrapped in a thick mink fur, with her small body curled up, standing under the corridor in front of the palace, looking longingly into the distance.
She was different from Gao Baoer. She lived in the Ningxiang Hall in the Qingning Palace. She often went to play with the incense of Ashina. From time to time, she could drink tea and talk with the queen.
Sometimes you can also follow the eldest princess Li Chun out of the palace for a walk.
When the concubines came to this position, they were actually the most favored ones. This shows that the hardships back then were not in vain.
Seeing that she was a little anxious, the female official smiled and said, "Are you tired from standing there? It's really cold today, so please be careful. The servants were frightened when I was ill a while ago."
Woolen cloth."
The deacon and eunuch standing next to him heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. He immediately took two palace servants to the palace to bring Hu chairs and covered them with thick soft cushions.
Wang Zhen laughed, "It's very rude of me to sit like this to greet my father and uncle."
She said this but still sat down. She often got along with Li Chun and the others, and rules and so on were like nothing to them.
Besides, the emperor also liked their lively appearance. Every time he saw them, he smiled and was full of encouragement, which made them become more and more bold.
Whatever the master looks like, the slave looks like the same, chatting and laughing with the queen, and the atmosphere is full of joy.
……………………
Wang Shiyun walked slowly between the palaces. Compared with when he first went to Hedong to meet Li Po, it had only been two or three years since he had aged.
His beard and hair were all gray, and he was so dark and thin that it looked as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He also had an obvious gloomy aura about him, making people afraid to get close to him easily.
Looking left and right, Wang Shiyun vaguely seemed to have returned to the Luoyang Palace. The palace there was very similar to Chang'an. Both big cities were built by Yu Wenkai and supervised by He Chou and others. Naturally, there are many similarities in layout...
