When Uncle Liu heard this, he trembled, looked at Yun Shang blankly, and opened his mouth: "Are you the queen?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "I know that incident caused your family to be destroyed. I'm afraid you've been keeping that secret all these years, but now you can't keep the secret. It's best for you now
My only choice is to find a good backer to keep you and your family safe. Do you think there is any better backer than the emperor and empress in this world?"
But Uncle Liu lowered his head and said nothing, neither saying yes nor saying bad.
Yun Shang didn't force himself, and stood up and said: "The place where you are now is the Duke's Mansion of Xia Kingdom. I will return to the palace this afternoon. You still have time, so you can think about it. Don't worry.
Even if you don't promise me today, I won't hurt you and your family."
After saying that, Yun Shang turned around and left the small room. Qianzui quickly ordered someone to lock the small room, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want the secret guard to interrogate you?"
Yun Shang smiled, her eyes full of determination: "It doesn't matter, he will agree. You have people guarding you. If he wants to see me, just let people come and report."
Qian Zui didn't know why Yun Shang was so sure, but he quickly followed her instructions.
After leaving the courtyard, there was the main hall. The Duke's wife was sitting in the hall, leaning on a chair. The nanny next to her was saying something. She seemed a little surprised when she saw Yun Shang coming out, "Is it ready so soon?"
"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "I don't want to say anything. Wait a minute and I will leave the palace, so I can talk to my grandmother for a while."
When the Duke's wife heard this, she laughed and asked Yun Shang to sit down next to her. After looking at Yun Shang carefully, she said: "Logically speaking, the royal food in the palace is the best thing in the world.
Why don't you look a little fatter? Your body looks a little thin."
"Am I still thin?" Yun Shang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughed when she heard this, "Shang'er still feels that she hasn't been able to lose weight since giving birth to Bao'er, and she still wants the imperial doctor to prepare a few pairs.
Let’s take some weight-loss medicine.”
"No, I think this is good." Madam Guogong smiled and patted Yun Shang's hand, "What? How can you get used to it after entering the palace? The palace is busy with affairs?"
"Shang'er is not used to anything. If she is not used to it, it is probably because leaving the palace is a bit cumbersome, and she is not as comfortable as when she was in the Prince's Mansion before. As for the affairs? The affairs in the palace have been going on since Concubine Shu left.
, and there has been no one to take care of it. Chang'er is a new arrival, but he doesn't know where to start. This is too heavy a blow, and he is afraid that the people below will not comply. But it is a light blow, for them it is just scratching the surface.
It won’t have much effect.”
Yun Shang said, then smiled and held the hand of the Duke's wife, and said with a smile: "Grandma, can you give me some advice for Chang'er? Chang'er is really at a loss, and now she can only let it go. Nothing can happen.
Never mind."
Hearing this, the Duke's wife thought for a while and then said: "That's a thing. Although I don't know what the harem looks like, but think about it, the harem is just a larger back house, and the rules are still the same. Since you are new here.
, Of course, you have to take control, and if you establish your authority, no one will listen to you in the future. However, there are ways to establish authority, and you have to use clever methods."
The Duke's wife paused, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes, and then she said softly: "As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, you will hit it within seven inches. There are one prison, one palace, one hospital, six bureaus in the palace, the inner chamberlain, the house of internal affairs, the imperial hospital, and the imperial hospital.
Palace bureau, Shangyi bureau, Shangfu bureau, Shangshi bureau, Shangbei bureau, Shanggong bureau. The stewards of each place are the overlords of one side. You have to carefully weigh and measure which place is the best.
What's important is that you start there first, choose someone who you think can control people, and then take over that place."
When Yun Shang heard this, his mind began to spin rapidly. Speaking of which, all of these places were important, but the most important ones should be the House of Internal Affairs and the Internal Affairs Supervisor. The following six bureaus were basically
They are all under the command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but all the palace residents are under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs Supervisor.
"You must have thought about where the seven inches are. You can't hit the seven inches head-on. Those in charge are the old people in the palace. I am afraid that I have some people under my control, and after all, I am the manager.
, it is always inappropriate for you to pull someone down without any basis or reason. If you confront him head-on, he might be secretly plotting against you. You have to plan this matter carefully, even if you want him to die.
There must also be evidence and evidence, so that no one can find the slightest fault."
When the Duke's wife said this, she seemed to remember something and laughed: "I heard that in this harem, there is one of the most serious crimes..."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, but did not understand what the Duke's wife was saying. She looked at the Duke's wife with some doubts in her eyes, but the Duke's wife burst out laughing. She did not elaborate further and just changed the topic.
Zi said: "How is Ling'er doing now?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang came back to her senses and responded with a smile, "Everything is fine, but I still can't remember what happened thirty years ago. Now I live with the Supreme Emperor in the Palace of Taihe, and the two of them every day
We read books and play chess together every day, and we enjoy ourselves."
Seeing the sad look on Mrs. Guo's face, Yun Shang smiled and said, "If grandma misses her mother, she can go into the palace to see her."
"That's all." The Duke's wife waved her hands and laughed again, wrinkles on her forehead wrinkled, "Her life is more important than anything else, and now she is doing well and well. I have remembered everything.
, but it’s not necessarily a good thing.”
Yun Shang didn't understand why the Duke's wife said that. She looked at the Duke's wife with some confusion, but the Duke's wife smiled and said: "I won't say it anymore. By the way, I was idle and boring some time ago, so I gave it to Bao'er.
I embroidered a few pieces of clothing. I haven’t used needlework for many years. The work was not very good, and it seemed a bit too big. But Baoer can wear it when he is about one year old."
As the Duke's wife said this, she ordered her nanny to get them. They were several small clothes, all made of red cloth. The cloth was very good, and embroidered on it were tiger heads, New Year paintings, dolls, and so on.
The pattern of the auspicious coin. The stitching is dense and the pattern is lifelike. It can be seen that the embroidery skills are profound and the effort is used.
"Grandma is too self-effacing. If she doesn't do well, then she doesn't do well. Chang'er doesn't know how to sew, but she feels ashamed when she looks at her." Yun Chang touched it.
The thin and dense patterns raised his eyes and smiled slightly.
Hearing this, the Duke's wife also had a bit of a smile in her eyes: "Ling'er doesn't know how to do needlework, but everyone has their own strengths. When I was in the boudoir, my needlework was second to none.
I'm fine, but after I got married, your grandfather always looked down on me, saying that I didn't know anything except holding a needle to embroider, and I didn't know the art of war, or how to march or form an army.
Martial arts is useless in his eyes."
Yun Shang blinked. This was something that Hua Guogong could do, and he also laughed: "Fortunately, grandma did not dislike grandpa."
"I dislike it, why don't I dislike it? When I was not married, I always thought that my future husband would be gentle and elegant, and they could play the piano and paint together, and have fun together. I didn't expect that in the end, he would be a rough man who could only wield a knife and a stick, and he didn't know how to do it.
I cried quietly several times. Then I started crying and thought about it."
The Duke's wife then looked at Yun Shang and said softly: "So a couple like you and Qing Yan, who are in love and have similar interests, is a blessing that has only been cultivated for hundreds of years. The couple, no matter what
No matter how difficult it is, we should support each other and work together to support each other. We should share blessings and misfortunes. This is the meaning of companionship."
A flash of thought flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and she responded in a low voice, "Shang'er understands."
Just as he was saying this, a secret guard walked in from the backyard and said, "Madam, that person asked to see your Majesty."
Yun Chang smiled and responded, then turned around and looked at the Duke's wife and said, "Shang'er will go over first and come back to accompany grandma later."
"Go, go, don't delay the business." The Duke's wife waved her hand, with a smile in her eyes.
Yun Shang stood up and went to the backyard again with a drink. When Uncle Liu saw Yun Shang walking in, he raised his eyes. Unlike before, this time he carefully
Yun Shang looked at her from head to toe before lowering her voice and saying, "How do you prove that you are the queen? And how do you guarantee that nothing will happen to me and my family?"
When Yun Shang heard this, she laughed and said to Qian Zui: "Go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Qian Zhui agreed and retreated. Yun Shang turned his eyes to look at Uncle Liu, smiled and said: "I did bring the queen's seal, and I will write a letter myself later. You can use that letter
, you can go to any local government office for help. If you have any difficulties, they will try their best to help."
When Uncle Liu heard this, he bit his lip and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said, "It doesn't matter if I say it, but I have to stay in the palace to ensure safety."
"Stay in the palace?" Yun Shang laughed. Uncle Liu probably thought that the palace was the most heavily guarded place in the world, so it was the safest.
"Okay. But let me remind you, all the chamberlains in the palace have to give up one thing..." Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
When Uncle Liu heard this, his face turned a little darker. He gritted his teeth and thought for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Okay, I promise you. So, can you say it now?" Yun Shang glanced at Uncle Liu lightly, with a faint coldness in his eyes.
"I'm waiting for you to write a letter." The middle-aged man lowered his head and retracted back to the chair. (To be continued)
