Su Xing was happy. Although he was not pampered by the young master, it was quite uncomfortable to stay in this small village.
The next day I woke up and went to the village chief, taking away some food to eat on the way. I gave him all the rest. It was also a way of repaying him for taking me in in the first place.
The house is also given to the village chief, and he can arrange whatever he wants.
Su Lin and Su Qiang drove two carriages over, so there was no need for the two siblings to squeeze together.
Su Wanshan will be escorted by a hundred people when he goes back. It should be safe on the way. After all, they didn't encounter any bandits or robbers when they came here.
This time it took a month to arrive in the capital. The two siblings went home directly. Su Wanshan was going to report on his work.
Su Yuanyuan once thought that the house might be occupied, but it was not.
When the housekeeper saw the young master coming back, his eyes filled with excitement.
I have been worried since they left.
Su Yuanyuan felt a lot more relaxed after she came back. The Gaomen Courtyard was good, at least there were people to take care of her.
"Miss, I'm going to buy some little maids."
Su Yuanyuan has no objection. It would be good to find someone to take care of her.
Su Wanshan did not come back for dinner in the evening. Su Yuanyuan felt that there should be no danger.
I quietly went to the cellar and put everything out again.
The next day, I heard from the little maid that the master came back at midnight last night.
Su Yuanyuan is really not used to the life of a purdah lady.
The boring thing every day is reading, that is, the father and son can only meet each other in the evening.
A month after returning, the little maid suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry, "Miss, there is an imperial edict at home."
Su Yuanyuan knew that the whole family was required to go and listen to the imperial edict.
After checking, there was nothing irregular. I quickly followed the little girl to the front yard.
Su Yuanyuan felt something was wrong after she came in. The cheap dad's face was very ugly. There was nothing wrong with the expression of the man without a beard on his face.
"Now that everyone is here, the Za family is going to announce the decree."
The whole family knelt down, and twenty servants of the mansion knelt outside.
Su Yuanyuan found it quite interesting to listen to Yin Yang's sudden announcement of the decree. It was really similar to what she had seen on TV before.
It was very formal, but Su Yuanyuan still understood it, that she was going to the palace to be the emperor's concubine?
"General Su, please accept the order. This is an exception for the daughter, who will directly become the concubine."
Su Wanshan's face is not pretty. But the imperial edict has been issued, and there is no room for you, a slave, not to accept it.
Su Yuanyuan was helped up by the maid.
The father-in-law who announced the decree smiled and saluted Su Yuanyuan, "Congratulations to Miss Su, no, it should be congratulations to the imperial concubine."
Su Yuanyuan twitched the corners of her lips and thought to herself that she didn't want such a job? Should she also let herself experience palace fighting? She was not that material, okay?
This is making things difficult for people. Looking at the expression on Cheap Dad's face, he knows that there is nothing he can do about it.
Still awake, he came over to meet the father-in-law and handed him a banknote.
"General Su, there will be instructors from the palace coming tomorrow. The imperial concubine will enter the palace in three months. During this period, the instructors will be responsible for teaching the imperial concubine the palace rules."
Su Wanshan also took out the banknote and gave it to his father-in-law.
"Eunuch Wan, I took the trouble to arrange a well-behaved palace."
"Don't worry, General Su. The Shang Palace has been arranged. It is the inner palace that the emperor used to have."
Su Wanshan didn't know what to say. Everything had been arranged, just wait.
Su Xing sent Eunuch Wan away. Only their father and daughter were left in the living room.
"Yuanyuan, I just found out. If I had known about it before, I would definitely get you engaged."
Su Yuanyuan didn't know what to say. In ancient times, even if you didn't marry an emperor but married an ordinary person, you still had three wives and four concubines.
However, she is still a wife after all. Now she is better and has become a concubine. Even though the imperial concubine is called nice, she is still a concubine in essence.
When I was at the border, I thought about not getting married. But I saw that according to the laws of this era, women who did not get married would be sentenced to exile.
I asked Su Xing, and he said that there were very few people who were exiled, and they were all assigned to be concubines of some wealthy families or married to some low-class people, which was not as good as getting married in a proper manner.
It doesn't matter if a man in the future has a concubine, he can just live his own life.
Looking at Su Wanshan's embarrassed look, he thought about being a concubine to the emperor, and living his own life as usual. "Dad, don't be embarrassed. It's okay, I can live a good life wherever I am."
"Yuanyuan, life in the palace is very boring." If she married outside, she would be a nobleman, and she could support her daughter. But what could she do in the palace?
"Dad, don't think about it. It's like this now and nothing can be changed. As long as you stay well outside, nothing will happen to me."
Su Wanshan nodded. My daughter is right. You can't support your daughter, nor can you hold her back.
Su Xing came in and looked at her sister who was hesitant to speak. My sister once asked what would happen if we didn't get married?
At that time, I even patted my chest and promised that my sister would definitely be dressed in red makeup and carry a big sedan chair.
There is nothing now. Although it sounds nice to say that she is the imperial concubine, she is not carried in a sedan chair?
"Okay, don't think too much about it, things are already like this, I will be fine inside."
Su Yuanyuan knew that the reason why she was like this was because of her father's achievements. In the eyes of others, this was an honor, but it was not suitable for their family.
After returning to the room, Su Yuanyuan read a book again. There will be no such leisure time tomorrow. It is really an evil old society. Do you have to get married before you are fifteen?
I was looking forward to the emperor's death, so I could go to the temple to practice on my own.
During dinner in the evening, the father and son looked at their daughter and sister, which was okay. They didn't have any special emotions, and they felt very relieved.
The next day, when Su Yuanyuan was reading, the maid led five people over.
Now that she is not the imperial concubine, she must bow to the minister in the palace.
"I don't dare. You can study hard and cooperate with me in the future."
"Please Shang Gong teach me carefully."
"My lord, I will always be by your side. Even if I enter the palace in the future, I will also be your lord's palace."
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself that she had arranged a female officer for herself? That’s okay. Anyone can be by her side.
"Your Excellency, let's get familiar with the palace rules today. I will first introduce you to some of the mistresses in the palace. The Queen is the emperor's former wife, and they have a son and a daughter. The eldest prince is twelve years old this year, and the eldest princess is six years old.
The queen comes from an ordinary family background, and she is also an easy-going person."
Su Yuanyuan said in her heart that no matter how easy-going she is, she will never be happy if someone is waiting to share with her man.
"In the past, the emperor had two concubines. One of them had a son. The second prince is ten years old this year and the third prince is ten years old.
The two nobles should be named concubines."
Su Yuanyuan knew that in ancient times, the mother was valued based on her son. Of course, if she gave birth to a son, her status would not be low.
