However, the families that are willing to marry into the official families of the new dynasty are not only the Xiao family, but also some other families.
In today's court, the officials of the old dynasty are actually relatively passive and at a disadvantage. They are eager to integrate into the new dynasty.
At this time, marriage is of course the best way.
Not long after, Queen Qin brought Concubine Shu over for the banquet.
Nowadays, Concubine Shu is helping Empress Qin to take care of everything in the palace.
Yin Ruhua felt that this Concubine Shu was really quite capable. Although she used Gou's method and seemed a bit spineless, she managed to survive the Li Wang Rebellion.
Concubine De, for example, didn't have that much ability, so she was sacrificed directly.
Concubine Shu greeted the noble ladies with a smile on her face. Her presence could save Empress Qin a lot of things. Because of this, she was able to bow to Concubine Xian during the Li Wang Rebellion, but she was not beaten in the end.
The Great Reckoning.
She still has the value of her own existence.
"How are you, Crown Princess?" Concubine Shu also came over to greet Yin Ruhua.
Yin Ruhua glanced at her and said, "I am doing very well. Thank you, Concubine Shu, for thinking about me."
"This is all what should be done. The Crown Princess's concubine in the East Palace has also made special representations to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asking them to serve them attentively. If they dare to be even the slightest bit negligent, the Crown Princess can just send someone over to talk to the concubine, and I will definitely punish them severely.
Loan!" Concubine Shu said.
Empress Qin didn't like these general affairs, so she gave them to Concubine Shu to take care of. Finally, various accounts were sent over, and Empress Qin handed them over to female officials for review.
There haven't really been any major problems so far.
However, Concubine Shu is a smart person. She knows that the situation is over now, but she doesn't dare to be disrespectful at all.
Of course, her rank is much lower than that of Yin Ruhua. The status of the Crown Princess is only lower than that of the Queen. The other imperial concubines, even the imperial concubines, must be lower than the Crown Princess because they are all concubines.
This is enough to show how big the gap is between the Crown Princess Yin Ruhua and Wang Liangdi and others. If there is no great opportunity, it is estimated that she will never be able to get over it in her lifetime.
Yin Ruhua came over and sat next to Empress Qin soon, and all the ladies also took their seats one after another.
Empress Qin said with a smile: "Today's banquet is also intended to be lively and lively. Everyone does not need to be restrained and can eat and drink to their heart's content."
Concubine Shu was the first to laugh and said: "The Queen is right, everyone does not need to be restrained."
Princess Duan naturally followed suit, and all the other ladies expressed their gratitude to the Queen for her generosity.
Empress Qin also looked at some noble ladies from the old dynasty and chatted with them.
These noble ladies are naturally very humble and respectful, and are very cautious as a rule, but they are not ordinary people, and they are considered to be watertight.
As for Mrs. Xiao and others, there was some joy in their eyebrows and eyes, and there was even some vague gossip.
You must know that when she was in Old Beijing, the Empress held a rare banquet, but in the rockery of the harem, they saw her white buttocks.
And on an occasion like today, I wonder if something will happen again?
But it won’t happen anymore.
Because on this occasion today, none of the young ladies and gentlemen came to the banquet, only the ladies of each family came.
We have all experienced ups and downs, who would dare to make a mistake on an occasion like today?
Even though Princess Duan and Mrs. Xiao hated each other, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were the sisters-in-law who had fallen out with each other, they didn't make any noise, and no one dared.
So today's banquet was held very smoothly.
When the meeting ended, some busybodies like Mrs. Xiao felt quite regretful.
How lively would it be if something happened?
Because it was not too late, Mrs. Xiao was not in a hurry to go back and came over to Concubine Shu to sit down.
Of course something happened.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm exhausted. After that, I won't leave you much, sister-in-law." Concubine Shu said with a tired look on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. So many things are taken care of by Your Majesty, but the Queen is very free." Mrs. Xiao said.
Concubine Shu scolded lightly, "Sister-in-law, please be careful. It is my honor to be able to help the Queen and solve her problems. I have never expressed any resentment!"
Are you kidding me? Thanks to the fact that she can handle these things for the queen, she has a foothold in the harem. When the prince ascends the throne next year, she won't have to worry about it anymore!
"Yes, yes, I was lying." Mrs. Xiao said quickly.
Concubine Shu didn't say anything. Her sister-in-law was like this, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Xiao then choked up and said, "Two of my three children are gone, and I am even more worried about Lie'er. Ever since the enchantress died, he seemed to have lost his soul!"
Concubine Shu scolded: "What a useless waste. I will live and die for a woman. What's the matter?"
Mrs. Xiao regretted it, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten rid of that enchantress."
"It's right to get rid of her. Look at the harm she has done to him. Even the errands that Hang'er gave him and such a big business, he dared to make profits from it. He is really good at it!" Concubine Shu snorted coldly.
Mrs. Xiao was not here to be scolded, she said: "I attended a banquet a few days ago, and at the banquet, I actually saw a young lady who looked exactly like that enchantress!"
Concubine Shu frowned, "Quarter portrait? Which family is she from? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Of course I've never heard of her before. She was a young lady from the Jin family in the old dynasty. I even took Lie'er to meet her once, and it turned out that Lie'er seemed to have come to life. That's why I wanted to come to the palace and talk to the empress.
I want to ask for an idea, can you let Lieer marry you? It can also help him cheer up and stop looking like he is half-dead." Mrs. Xiao said.
Concubine Shu couldn't help but said after hearing this: "The Jin family is from the old dynasty and they don't know anything about the situation."
Mrs. Xiao whispered: "The Jin family was one of the first families to surrender. They contributed 300,000 taels of silver and had a very good reputation among the old dynasty. I checked it out before coming to tell the empress."
of."
That was true, but Concubine Shu still said: "This is not a trivial matter, it's better to wait a moment. I heard about the affairs between the Guozhang's Mansion and the Xiao family tonight, and I heard that they were all hugging each other."
Well, let’s see them first before talking.”
Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything when she heard this, but she couldn't help but talk about Prince Qi, "Mother, you have to take care of the prince. Why are you so obsessed with that slave girl named Tan'er who has conquered the country?"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu just waved her hands and said, "Let it go, he will just be an idle prince from now on."
It's okay for my son to be like this. Like King Rong, I heard that he was drunk and dreaming all day long, and he was a waste.
