Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 13 The Empress Dowager

Yao Jinse never thought that despite his familiarity with the plot of the original novel, his scheming methods could surpass those concubines in the palace who had grown up soaked in intrigue.

She just sees a lot, not knows a lot.

For her, many things need reaction time to get used to, just like the life in this palace, it takes time to get used to it.

She is now gradually familiar with the environment here and the life here.

And, I am familiar with the undercurrents here.

People in the palace would never gossip about it in the open, it would lose the dignity of the royal family, and it would not be good whether it was spoken out or seen by others.

Even if everyone is doing the tricks, they come from behind the scenes, and there are countless tricks and secret words in a sentence.

It feels refreshing when the bystanders are watching, but it is really exhausting to live in it.

……

Another morning.

Yao Jinse was holding the little princess and standing on the porch looking at the flowers. The little baby was neither crying nor fussing in her arms, very quiet, and was shaking gently with the shaking of Yao Jinse's body.

It was a very peaceful day, the sky was clear and clear, and the sky stretched as far as the eye could see. Only swallows and other birds were wandering back and forth, and occasionally one or two landed in this bottomless palace. After a long time, Startled again.

Counting the days, it has been more than a month since she came to this world.

And in the past month or so, Yao Jinse finally got used to the current life, and she suddenly discovered that in this harem, grace is actually not that important.

As the saying goes, there is a three-point love when meeting. Anyway, if there is a child by his side, the emperor always wants to see it. The concubines who have children in the harem will probably live better. This is the reason.

People who can see the emperor, as long as they don't ask for trouble, their lives will not be too bad.

What's more, the factions in the palace are not clear, and everyone only does things for their own way of survival. What makes people loyal is the benefit of being able to survive, not a certain person.

Even if the concubines flatter the emperor, it is the same reason.

Everyone has their own way of living. Yao Jinse never interferes with how others live, but she is willing to put some thought into her own way of living.

During the recent period, all eyes inside and outside the palace are fixed on the draft. The emperor has not been on the throne for a year, and he is a serious and serious man. The good girl in my family was sent to the palace.

Everyone wants to leave a way out for themselves, right?
In addition to these noble girls from aristocratic families, those ordinary girls selected from various places are also looking forward to this good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it is not easy to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out. Yao Jinse is already a person in it, although the soul from a more civilized society does not want these flower-like girls to fall here In the deep palace that eats people, but she also understands that for many people, there is no better place in the world than this deep palace.

This is the limitation of the times, and it cannot be changed by manpower.

……

"The draft is about to reach the final round of palace selection. I heard that the Empress Dowager has come out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she is going to personally choose the show girl. My sister is in a good mood, and she is still here to enjoy the scenery and flowers."

Before seeing anyone coming, a hearty voice came from Yao Jinse's ears.

Yao Jinse is familiar with this voice, because in the past month, she has communicated more with the owner of this voice.

Handing the baby in her arms to the nurse next to her, Yao Jinse turned around and bowed to the visitor.

"Sister Zhaopin, Wanfu."

"Get up, I was watching you holding the baby just now, but it's a coincidence that Ben Gong came here, between us sisters, whether the rituals are the same, can I still argue with you about this?"

Concubine Zhao is now living in Yongning Palace, this one can be regarded as a wonder in the palace, she speaks quickly on weekdays, and her personality is as hearty as her voice.

Yao Jinse didn't pay much attention to this concubine when she was reading books before, because she appeared in the plot a little less often, and she almost played the role of a background board.

In the story, she never framed the heroine, nor did she have much hostility with the heroine, not even jealousy.

This is another type of people that exist in the harem. They often have family backgrounds, and they don't expect the emperor's favor. They can take care of themselves and rely on their own abilities.

In fact, Yao Jinse once thought that according to the plots of the novels she had read in the past, in such a time travel situation, she should use her advantage as a prophet to wipe out all her enemies in the cradle.

But in fact Yao Jieyu has no enemies, she is just a low-ranking concubine who is not favored, even if she has a child, it is just a daughter, and it is impossible to become a thorn in the eyes of these women in the palace.

Because the harem itself is a shura field, if I become weak, the ants passing by will step on it, and if I can not hurt myself, I am considered a good person.

In this harem, those who are worthless are really miserable.

It's as if the original owner was under the imperial concubine's hands and was often angered by the imperial concubine, but she never resented the imperial concubine, because this is the original owner's way of life, and only by relying on the imperial concubine can she survive.

Even live well.

However, whether it is her or Concubine Zhao, the situation is the same under certain circumstances.

They don't have the emperor's favor, so they can only ask for blessings.

And in this harem, if you want to seek good fortune for yourself, forming good relationships is the best way.

People who are good at self-protection have a set of self-consistent logic, Yao Jinse is like this, and so is Zhaopin, so when Zhaopin and Yao Jinse met in the imperial garden not long ago, the two of them struck up a conversation.

Those who come and go again and again have become acquaintances who can talk to each other.

But at this time today, it is really strange that Concubine Zhao will appear here.

"Isn't it time for my sister to take a nap? Why did my sister come out at this time today?"

In addition to competing for favor, most of the women in the palace also have their own health care methods. After all, age does not wait for anyone. Everyone wants to prolong their youth for a few more years, so in terms of maintenance, they can be regarded as crossing the sea. Each shows his talents.

Zhaopin is no exception.

But she doesn't plan to take a nap today, the Empress Dowager is out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, which is a major event in the palace.

"The Empress Dowager has always eaten vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name. Since the emperor became the emperor, she has been guarding the Palace of Compassion and Peace. We usually don't see anyone when we pay our respects. Now that the Queen Mother is out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the harem is probably going to be crowded again. It's the right time of day, I'm afraid that if the Queen Mother and her elders summon her, she will have to get up and clean up temporarily, so I won't sleep at all."
