Queen Wang also comes from a noble family. In the early years, she always acted like a queen. In the draft held every three years, most of the people selected were dignified and virtuous.
Concubine Liu had been with her since she was in Qiandi. In addition to her beauty, she was also very good at winning favors. Not to mention that Empress Dowager Jiang had promoted Concubine Liu and her son in order to suppress the queen.
When the draft started a few years ago, the Queen and the Queen changed their tempers, and everyone selected to fill the harem was better than Concubine Liu Guifei.
Not only must you have an outstanding appearance, but you must also be versatile, be able to act coquettishly, and be able to compete for favors.
No matter how charming and good-looking Concubine Liu is, she can't compare to those teenage girls. After all, she can be a grandmother.
At that time, Concubine Liu was held by Empress Dowager Jiang, and she was favored by Emperor Chengxing, so she almost walked sideways in the palace.
Those people selected by the Queen and the Queen, no matter how good-looking they are, are useless. They will still suffer humiliation when they come to Liu Guifei. With her, not one of them can climb the dragon bed.
At that time, Concubine Liu didn't even pay attention to the Queen, let alone these little people.
Those girls who are like flowers have been suppressed by her for several years, but they don't feel resentful in their hearts.
Since the beginning of last year, these people have gradually come to the fore, and coupled with the affairs of Yi Wang Xiao Wei, Liu Guifei's position has become unstable.
Queen Wang was also a very kind person in front of others. She treated Emperor Chengxing equally regardless of whether she was favored or not, and she always picked out the things she was rewarded.
Rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, everything is a good thing.
Someone hit the head to catch Emperor Chengxing's eye, and the girls behind them all tried their best to drill forward.
All of them are delicate flowers. After being delayed for several years, they are just right in age. The temperament they have cultivated in the palace for several years has smoothed out their water chestnuts. When they come to Emperor Chengxing, they are all beautiful.
She looks like a human being, not only can she look at her face, but she is also very good at coaxing people.
The first person to bear the brunt of this is the Yin family.
Although the Yin family was young, her ability to retain favor was not inferior to others. In just a few months, she was promoted to the concubine position and replaced Liu Guifei's favor.
Emperor Chengxing was not a good man to begin with, and none of those favored beauties had ever suffered in front of Concubine Liu.
Now that everyone has been favored by Emperor Chengxing, it is impossible for Concubine Liu to return to his favor as she is old and frail.
She tried several times, but all ended in failure. Knowing that she could no longer rely on Emperor Chengxing, she restrained her temper and waited for the day when her son would ascend to the throne.
As soon as the court officials advised the establishment of a crown prince, Concubine Liu was the first person who couldn't sit still.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She has been favored for so many years, but now she is brought back to her original form. How willing is her heart? She naturally hopes to become the Queen Mother one day and avenge her previous shame.
On the same day, a letter was sent back to her parents' home and her mother was admitted to the palace. The mother and daughter closed the door and did not know what they said, but Mrs. Liu's face was as bright as a spring breeze when she left the palace.
If someone from the Liu family enters the palace on the front foot, Queen Mother Jiang will know it on the back foot.
Immediately he smashed the prayer beads in his hand.
The Buddha beads rolled all over the floor, and Empress Dowager Jiang sneered: "It's really the wings of the stone."
After this incident, there was no movement for a while, and it was the winter solstice in two days.
Song Qinghuan was born on the winter solstice. On this day, Xiaoyun asked the cook to make longevity noodles and red eggs early in the morning.
Song Qinghuan was in her twenties. Other girls at her age had children several years old, but she was still raising them at home.
Xiaoyun is not a vicious stepmother, she treats her as her own child.
Not only did he send longevity noodles and red eggs, he also sent a set of ruby noodle heads.
Dianzhuang Pavilion Tongpinju's business is not bad. Since the opening of the business, although it is not said to be a lot of money, it has given the Yu family some extra money. They don't have to be careful about the expenses of the house, just to reward the servants.
It's much more generous now.
I also thought that Song Qinghuan would not be able to celebrate birthdays at home in the future, so I carefully selected and gave up the big deal.
Xiao Yun is not a stingy person. The set of rubies on her head is not only beautiful in style, but also very delicate. The rubies on it are large and small, which is both luxurious and suitable for Song Qinghuan's age.
Song Qingyan's eyes lit up as she watched. What girl doesn't like pretty things? She stretched out her hand and touched it again and again, and said: "It's really beautiful."
Although Song Qinghuan didn't know much about the product, he thought it was very beautiful and the price was not cheap, so he immediately asked Texue to put it away without even giving Song Qingyan a second look.
Song Qingyan was so angry that she glared and cursed: "You stingy guy."
Song Qinghuan laughed: "A branch of plum blossoms in the garden can kill you. A fairy like you should regard these common things as garbage."
"Hmph..." Song Qingyan snorted softly: "What do you know, tacky."
It turns out that the sisters in the Song family were not in harmony, so Xiao Yun became more cautious in everything she did. Now she saw that although her two daughters were bickering, they were much closer than before, so she immediately started laughing.
Today, Empress Dowager Jiang will go to the Star Observation Tower with Emperor Chengxing to pray for blessings. Princess Rouzhen made an appointment with Song Qinghuan to go out early in the morning.
After eating longevity noodles and red eggs, I packed up and went out.
Song Qingyan rarely went out, so she wanted to follow him on such a lively day, but Princess Rouzhen was familiar with Song Qinghuan and it was Song Qinghuan who was invited, so she held back even though she wanted to.
Song Qinghuan saw the envious look on this little girl's face. Before going out, he pinched her face and said with a smile, "When I come back, I will bring an armful of plum blossoms to our fairy."
Song Qingyan looked at her speechlessly and spat: "Common man, what do you know?"
In previous years, the palace did not have the custom of offering sacrifices to the winter solstice. It was only later that Empress Dowager Jiang became the empress dowager, and that's when the Qintian Prison was established.
On this day, whether it was Empress Dowager Jiang, the emperor or empress, or the princes and grandsons, they all got up early in the morning.
Emperor Chengxing first offered sacrifices to his ancestors in the palace, and then he took his concubines and descendants to the star observatory outside the palace.
The observatory had been sent to the palace eunuchs ten days ago to clean it up.
As soon as the sedan chairs of the Emperor and the Queen Mother arrived, all the civil and military officials knelt down in a row to pay their respects.
Since the time for the sacrifice had not yet arrived, and she needed to burn incense and take a bath, Queen Wang supported Queen Mother Jiang to the side hall behind the star observation platform.
Emperor Chengxing also had people waiting on him.
Song Qinghuan did not have the complicated etiquette in the palace. She had breakfast at home and waited for a while before going out. When she arrived at the observatory, she waited for Princess Rouzhen for a long time before following the sedan chair.
The wounds on Princess Rouzhen's face were not completely healed, and the veil was still hanging on her face. When she saw Song Qinghuan in the crowd from a distance, she couldn't sit still.
Riding the carriage with her were two other princesses ranked fourteenth and fifteenth. Following her line of sight, she saw that it was Song Qinghuan. The fourteenth princess immediately laughed out loud: "My sister is the same as this one."
The former two emperor's sisters-in-law had a close friendship."
The words "former second emperor's sister-in-law" are emphasized very strongly.
Who doesn't know that when Liu Guifei and her son were favored in their early years, they loved to trample the queen and her son the most, but now they are so close to Song Qinghuan, who has left the Yiwang Palace.
Just saying "former second emperor's sister-in-law" is not ironic.
