Before she could continue, Xiao Yuanzi said anxiously: "I swear to God, there will never be a next time!"
Wei Jingxuan ignored him and glanced at Xiangju, who nodded knowingly, turned around and entered the inner room. When she came out, she had two more papers in her hand. At Wei Jingxuan's signal, she handed the paper to Liu Qi.
"I want you to copy the handwriting on these two pieces of paper. When you can distinguish the fakes from the real ones, I will tell you what you need to do."
After Liu Qi carefully read the words on it, he said: "My lord, whose name is this?"
Wei Jingxuan's expression suddenly turned cold, like ice and snow in winter, "You like to ask so much, why not ask Concubine Yi, she might be able to tell you."
Liu Qi realized that he had asked the wrong question and hurriedly said: "This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me."
Wei Jingxuan held Xiangju's hand and walked to him, expressionlessly saying: "How many years have you been in the palace?"
Liu Qi didn't know why she asked this, so he said tremblingly: "To tell you the truth, it's been six years."
"Six years..." Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "Six years is not a short time. You should know what to ask and what not to ask. If you remain like this, I am really worried about whether you can survive the next one."
Six years."
Liu Qi endured the cold sweat on his forehead and said repeatedly: "I know that I will not talk too much in the future."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "Okay, you can go back. Remember, these two pieces of paper must not be seen by anyone."
After Liu Qi exited Yimeixuan, Xiao Yuanzi, who had just looked uneasy, immediately showed a smile, "It seems that the master has firmly controlled Liu Qi in his hands. He asked him to go east, but he did not dare to go west.
.”
Wei Jingxuan stretched out her hand to help Xiao Yuanzi up, and said with a chuckle: "It's really hard on you this time, does your face still hurt?"
Xiao Yuanzi said quickly: "It is a servant's job to do things for my master. How dare I say it's hard work? As for this small injury on my face, it no longer hurts."
Whether it was the injury on his face or the "reprimand" just now, they were all designed to deceive Liu Qi so that he could be firmly tied to Wei Jingxuan's boat.
"I will remember your contribution today, and you will be proud of yourself in the future!" Wei Jingxuan's words made Xiao Yuanzi excited. He clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said, "I thank you, Master, for your kindness."
After Wei Jingxuan turned around and sat down, "Liu Qi has no doubts about you now. You have to keep an eye on him and let him do his best for me." After Xiao Yuanzi agreed, she turned and said: "By the way, father.
Is there any news coming from the side?"
"Not yet." After a moment, Xiao Yuanzi said: "Actually, it is reasonable for those people to give money to please the master. What are you worried about, master?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "You are not rewarded for your merits, and suddenly someone comes to your door with money. There must be something weird."
"They probably know that you are pregnant with a dragon and will be promoted to concubine, so they come here one by one to fawn over you, hoping to get some benefits in the future. I have heard of this situation before, so it is not unusual."
On the same day, Xiao Yuanzi went out of the palace again according to Wei Jingxuan's instructions and asked Wei's father why he suddenly had money. Wei's father told the truth, saying that recently, some merchants and shopkeepers had been coming to the door with gifts and money, saying that they knew about Wei Jingxuan.
Noble in the palace
They are also pregnant with dragon seeds. I hope that Father Wei, the head of the country, will take more care of them in the future. Father Wei is a cautious man and was unwilling to accept these things at first, but those people insisted that he accept them and looked at them.
The words were sincere and he accepted them after heaping them up.
After the first time, there will be a second time, especially after you have tasted the sweetness. Later, it became normal to accept the money delivered to your door. Wei De even used the money to buy several slaves, and his family
It's a very pleasant life when people have to stretch out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food.
After Wei Jingxuan learned about this, not only did she not show any joy, but she frowned. She originally wanted Xiao Yuanzi to leave again, but she was afraid that leaving the palace frequently would attract the attention of Xianyue and the others, so she sent letters out of the palace one by one to let Wei's father know.
Try to find out the identities of those people and why they knew that they were concubines in the palace.
"Perhaps you are right, but I believe in one sentence more - showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. Although I have a dragon seed, I am only ranked sixth concubine at the moment. Someone with a higher status than me.
I don’t know how many of them, especially Concubine Yi and Concubine Ying. Based on their relationship with the imperial concubine, it can be said that they will definitely be ranked as concubines in this grand ceremony. If it were you, tell me, would you please me?
who?"
Xiao Yuanzi frowned and said, "Maybe... they couldn't get along with Concubine Yi and Concubine Ying's mother's family, so they settled for the next best thing."
Wei Jingxuan took a breath and said: "No matter what, we must try to find out this matter. If you remain so confused, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died."
Xiao Yuanzi lowered his eyes and said, "I understand that as soon as the master has news, I will immediately report it to my master."
This is a game. Both sides use their own methods and tricks. I don’t know which side will win in the end.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the fourteenth year of Qianlong's reign, Hongli issued a decree that the harem would be sealed after the ceremony of enthroning the queen. Most of the people in the palace would be sealed after this ceremony.
The Huang family and the Hu family were canonized as noble concubines, becoming the most respected people under Xia Yue; Chen family, Yehenala family, and Xia Qing were each promoted one level and ranked as the fourth concubine, and their titles still remain.
Wei Jingxuan, the Zhang family, the Ning family, the Ping family, the Bai family, and the Fucha family were listed as six concubines. Except for the Zhang family, the remaining five were all given titles, namely: Ling concubine, Shen concubine, Gong concubine, and Yi concubine.
Jin concubine.
As for the reason why the Zhang family was not given a title, it was because the status of her mother's family was low and someone had committed crimes. Therefore, Hongli thought over and over again and did not decide on a title from the Ministry of Rites. He only named her by her surname and called her Zhang Bin.
Although Mrs. Zhang did not dare to speak out about such an arrangement, she felt resentful in her heart. In her opinion, Xia Qing and Wei Jingxuan were even lower than her, so why could they have titles, and even Xia Qing could be ranked
The fourth concubine, she could only call her by her surname.
When Mrs. Ning went to visit Mrs. Zhang, she mentioned this matter and said coldly: "Huh, so many people have given titles, but my sister has not been given titles. Someone must be gossiping in front of the emperor and deliberately trying to embarrass you, sister."
Mrs. Zhang, who was wiping away tears, heard this and said in surprise: "Why did my sister say this? Does she know something?"
Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "To be fair to my sister, I almost missed out on this grand conferment." Although the canonization ceremony has not been performed, the canonization decree has been issued. They are no longer their former identities, so they can call themselves me.
Mrs. Zhang was startled and said tentatively: "I have heard some rumors before, but I always thought them to be nonsense, so I didn't pay much attention to them. Now I hear what my sister said, is it true?"
