Chapter 203 Fighting
Smart people don’t need to say too much. Chunxia’s words made Qiurong feel sad. Yes, at first she knew that most of the little palace maids under Madam Feng had no future, that is, they were just waiting for a life. On the contrary, Madam Hua’s subordinates could do more, and they were promoted to a big palace maid, Shanggong and others.
But when you think about it carefully, being a little palace maid can leave the palace and get married safely, it may not be worse than those of those big palace maids. You may have more money in the palace for a few more years, but it also delays the flowering period. Not to mention that you don’t want to leave the palace, you can get it as soon as you want. The higher you climb, the more dangerous it is. If you do it, you will be liked by your master. If you want to stay, you can leave? If you make your master unhappy, it is almost impossible to leave the palace safely.
Qiu Rong used to think that Chunxia was smart, but she always had something missing at the critical moment, so she could only move in the position of the little palace maid. But now it seems that she was hiding her clumsy and deliberately stagnant, just to be able to leave the palace. This standard is difficult to grasp. She was almost demoted to a rough palace maid. Not to mention seeing her master, she would not be able to see powerful nannies like Madam Feng and Madam Hua or Eunuchs. Unless there were too many people in the palace to pretend and were eager to make room for the newcomers, she would be a humble palace maid and broke into contact with all her relatives for the rest of her life. In the end, she died of old age in the palace and threw a roll of mats to the burial.
Chunxia's words came soon. Since Qiurong had already let her know the news, she would not hide it from her. She packed up her things in front of her and left without saying anything.
Qiu Rong fell into deep thought and was scolded several times by Madam Feng for several days.
In just a few days, many things happened in the palace. There were many people who were trying to support the high and low when they saw the wind, especially those around Yun Cairen. When his master was in glory, the eunuchs and palace maids were domineering, and everyone avoided them. Even the little palace maids and eunuchs around the queen were bullied a lot on weekdays, so there were no need to say about other concubines. Now Yun Cairen has fallen out of favor, and there are more people provoking them and disputes are constantly being made.
At this time, Empress Xu stood up and severely punished the masters who provoked the palace maids. She ordered the people around Yun Cairen not to neglect Yun Cairen, and the requirements for Yun Cairen such as the imperial kitchen should not be neglected. Although the grade has been reduced, many of the fees must be based on the standards of the concubine.
The punished concubines and eunuchs did not dare to do anything to Queen Xu. They secretly had to complain to Concubine Hong and provoked Concubine Hong to deal with Yun Cairen. They must knock Yun Cairen down at one time and never turn over. Unfortunately, Concubine Hong only looked voluntarily, as if she was not caring and had no courage, which made people disappointed.
Madam Feng and Madam Hua said secretly: "This Zhu Hong is really smart. She has not been used as a gun, and she is calm. She is a character and is much more difficult to deal with than Concubine Yun. Fortunately, she is not as good as a man or a woman. Otherwise, with her methods, she will be really amazing in the future."
Madam Hua nodded first, and then said, "But she is younger and has emerged too quickly. Now she is too close to the limelight. Unless she really doesn't fight, she will sooner or later reveal her fox's tail."
As he said that, Madam Feng and Madam Hua couldn't help but smile at each other, and the show had just begun.
In Zhuhong's palace, her confidant palace maid Ling'er whispered to Zhuhong who was lying on the beauty couch and closed her eyes and resting: "Empress, today the Empress punished the people in the imperial kitchen again. This time, there was no reason. She only said that they were not attentive in their work. She asked them to reflect carefully. Not long ago, the people in Yuncairen's palace went to ask for soup, but the people in the imperial kitchen were half an hour late."
"The Empress is virtuous and generous, it's okay." Zhu Hong half-closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare moment of leisure.
"But I heard another thing, saying that the Queen wants to adopt the Fourth Prince." Ling'er's voice became a little sneaky this time, "People from my hometown remind you to be careful."
Zhu Hong said carelessly: "The Empress has no son and wants to adopt a person. It is not a day or two to discuss this in the palace. Today, I will talk about the third prince and the fourth prince tomorrow. Although the empress is a little older, she is not yet old enough to be born. In addition, these princes are young and cannot see what talent can learn. If you adopt one rashly, if you adopt one in the future... it will become a hot potato. The Empress is now the lord of the central palace. Whoever becomes the emperor in the future will respect her as the empress dowager. Besides, the emperor is in full swing, and it is still early in a hundred years. Why should you worry about that?
Ling'er said: "This servant doesn't understand very much, but the people in my hometown said that this was a promise from the queen who was released. He said that this was a promise from the emperor to the queen. The emperor is still soft-hearted and feels that he has been a little sorry for the queen for many years."
Zhu Hong's eyes suddenly opened.
If it was the emperor's promise, it would be impossible. After all, everyone knows that Empress Xu had made great efforts to ascend the throne to the emperor, but he never bowed afterwards, managed the harem in an orderly manner, and did not compete for favor. The emperor's respect for Empress Xu was far better than that of the empress dowager. Out of guilt, it would be possible to give the greatest compensation he could give. If a man could give a woman the honor of a wife, it would be a wife based on her husband, and the mother based on her son, Empress Xu's status could not be further improved, but she did need a child. It was reasonable to adopt the future prince. They were all the empress dowagers, but the mother and son were the mother and son, and all kinds of honors such as sacrifices a hundred years later were indispensable.
In the past, Concubine Yun was domineering, and the Yun family was also arrogant in the court, so they would definitely not allow the fourth prince to be adopted and respect Empress Xu's lineage as their mother clan. Perhaps this is also the reason why the fourth prince was unable to be appointed as the crown prince for a long time, but the situation is different now. Concubine Yun fell out of favor, and the Yun family would definitely agree to protect the fourth prince.
This makes people have to be wary of it.
Zhu Hong clenched her fists, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes. It's fine on weekdays. After all, she has not been able to have a child now. She still has a long life in the future. I don't know what she can do. But now she has become a mortal enemy with Concubine Yun. If Concubine Yun is allowed to turn over with the prince again, she will be sad.
Not to mention anything else, first of all, we have to face the enemy of Empress Xu. If Empress Xu was Empress Xu, she would definitely eradicate a person who threatened her son. Empress Xu was definitely not a rude person who could reach this point today.
The struggle in the palace is always so cruel.
From the emperor, empress, concubines, to the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all fighting, making a big fuss and making a small fuss.
