Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 33 Trial Marriage Palace Maid
"Humph!"

Yinzhen snorted coldly, the woman he loves is sewing boots for other men all night, he can't wait to smash the boots into powder with internal force.

"Grandpa, no!"

Seeing the increasingly ugly face of the fourth elder brother, Li Jingui was very annoyed. He knew that he should hide in the room and do it quietly, so what should he do now?

"Master, just this time, he is Lan Qi'er's elder brother, and this servant wants to help him."

Since begging for mercy was not enough, the only way to do it was to use the trick of beauties, not to hit the smiling face. Li Jingui could only gently tug on the sleeve of the fourth elder brother pitifully.

"Look, these boots are specially made by servants with one high and one low, so that it will be convenient for the third elder brother to walk after wearing them."

"It's not an example!"

Yinzhen leaned over, put his cheek close to Li Jingui, and immediately leaned over to peck her between the eyebrows.

"Rest early."

There was a smile on the corner of Yinzhen's mouth, a little unfinished.

"It's not rude to come and go!"

While the fourth master was in a daze, Li Jingui blushed and quickly touched the forehead of the fourth elder brother.

At this time, in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, Wu Yashi was sitting anxiously at the lower end talking with Concubine Tong Jia.

"What's going on between Yinzhen and that court lady?"

She can't understand the turmoil in this huge Forbidden City, but how can the things in Zhongcui Palace escape her eyes.

Tong Jiashi casually flipped through the roster filled with densely packed names, all the women on it were candidates for trial marriage court ladies.

"Si elder brother is still young, Madam, please don't listen to those gossips who confuse right and wrong."

"The fourth elder brother is a child who values ​​love and righteousness. The concubine heard that the maid has been taking care of him personally since he was a child, and it was she who took care of the fourth elder brother who was infected with smallpox before he recovered."

Wu Ya seems to talk a lot today, and at this time she is chattering and praising Li Shi, the court lady who serves Yinzhen.

"I've seen that girl before, she's a good girl."

The Wu Ya family is now in the position of concubine, and has given birth to fourteen elder brothers, so naturally they no longer humbly call themselves slaves.

At this time, she started to praise Li Jingui endlessly, but Tong Jiashi's face became more and more ugly.

It wasn't until Tong Jiashi beat around the bush that he issued an order to chase away the guest before he left in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to speak well of that Li Jingui in front of the imperial concubine?"

"Stupid, the imperial concubine never waits to see me, the so-called hating the house, if you say that if this palace is full of praise for that woman, how will the imperial concubine treat her?"

Lan Cui suddenly realized that the empress concubine De wanted to kill that girl in front of Concubine Tong Jia.

Not only was the noble concubine able to get rid of that unsightly girl, but it also created a rift between the fourth elder brother and the noble concubine.

"I am Yinzhen's mother-in-law, so naturally I have to follow my son's wishes."

In Zhongcui Palace, Tong Jiashi was burning scriptures written in blood in a charcoal basin.

"Your Majesty, do you want your servants to deal with Li Jingui?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Tong Jiashi coughed heart-piercingly, and she waved her hands weakly.

"It's just a little maid, even if she becomes one of the court ladies of the fourth elder brother's trial marriage, what will happen?"

"Wu Ya is trying to use Bengong's hand to get rid of that girl! Can't you see through it?"

It would be a ghost if she dodged about that girl's affairs tonight, although Wu Yalanzhu had evil intentions.

But her badness is on the bright side. In this Zhongcui Palace, she, Tong Jia Suyuan, is the real swordsman!
"But it's true that the girl is charming the fourth elder brother, so why don't you just let her go like this?"

"Cough cough cough cough."

Tong Jiashi waved her hand impatiently. There were nearly a hundred women of the right age in this thick roster, and she was dizzy looking at it.

Brothers' trial marriage court ladies are just to let them have more enlightenment about men and women before marriage, and most of them are not from high backgrounds.

She was just a court lady serving Yinzhen, she would never put such an ant like dust in her eyes.

What she cares about is who will be the candidate for Yinzhen's concubine Fujin.

The princes of the Qing Dynasty had to get married before the age of 16.

So in order to save these princes from embarrassment when they get married, the royal family will arrange eight court ladies to serve these ignorant princes.

There is a clear rule in the palace that before the prince gets married, eight older and dignified maids will be carefully selected by the palace, and they will be named as the master of ceremonies, the gatekeeper, the bedroom secretary, and the accountant.

But don't think that these selected maids are very unlucky, on the contrary, many court ladies in the palace are counting on this to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and heavy labor.

Because after the maid is selected, she can have a certain salary every month, and if she is pregnant with a child, she may be promoted to Gege or concubine.

Closer to home, in the year before the big wedding, these trial marriage ladies accompanied the prince day and night, with the purpose of teaching the princes how to be good husbands.

These eight court ladies all have a certain status, and they will also become women with status in the palace from now on.

They will also get a monthly salary, unlike other ordinary maids who are engaged in labor, similar to the existence of female officials.

Trial marriage court ladies are pampered and pampered in the palace before the prince gets married. They don't need to do anything, they just need to learn how to serve the prince well.

In the Forbidden City where life is cheap, even if there are some eunuchs with a little authority, there are still many people who fight to the death, let alone the prince's trial marriage court lady.

According to the tradition, the prince's trial marriage court ladies carefully selected eight of the most outstanding trial marriage court ladies before marriage.

There are also sixteen second-class court ladies assisting. It can be said that these more than 20 court ladies exist to serve the prince.

Although the court lady of trial marriage was extraordinarily beautiful before the prince's marriage, she could be regarded as half the master, but after the prince's marriage, it depended on her own luck.

Naturally, the future Fujin will not like these trial marriage maids who are enchanting and better at serving others than himself. At this time, whether they can make a career in the sky depends on everyone's luck.

A lucky court lady in a trial marriage may conceive an heir during the period of serving the prince before marriage.

In this way, the prince will definitely accept him as a concubine, and he can barely fly to the branch, and he will really have support for the rest of his life.

And those who are not pregnant with children, good ones can continue to work by the prince's side and do some servant work.

The worst situation is to be returned intact by the prince.

Such a trial marriage female official has almost no future to speak of, it is almost equivalent to staying in the palace until old age, and her youthful years are ruined like this.

Choosing a suitable palace lady for Yinzhen is not a child's play, but a top priority related to Jiangshan Sheji.

No matter how uncomfortable Tong Jia's body is, she still has to take care of it herself.

Unsurprisingly, seeing Li Jingui's name on the fifth page of the list, Tong Jia's pen paused.

"Forget it, I'm not a hard-hearted person either!"

She didn't hesitate anymore, and after a while, circled Li Jingui's name.

The first woman candidate for a trial marriage palace to serve the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the dust has settled.
