The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 82
Huilan saw that Li Chengze's mood became depressed when she said a word, and she took the initiative to lean in his arms and talk to him, her voice was soft and peaceful.

"Life is helpless, what you gain is bound to be lost. Just like me, I chose wealth and glory, and my parents would bow down to salute when they saw me. The price that came with it was that I couldn't see my parents and couldn't do it." I'm a wife now.

Ze Lang, don't be sad, no matter how sad you are, you will live on.

Now I can gradually understand my mother, raising the concubine's child should be helpless at first, she obviously has her own child, and she still has to raise the concubine's child.

When she grows up, she still thinks that it is her responsibility to subsidize the dowry for a good marriage, how innocent and helpless.

But this is the price of being a regular wife. Ordinary families also have wives and concubines, some of which are not necessarily what the master of the family needs, but it is a last resort.

Anyway, those of us official daughters who come in through the draft are always the daughters of good people, and promise you innocently, some girls may not all be willing to enter the palace, don't they also recognize it.

No matter what, they are all members of the Eastern Palace. They support each other and go on together. At least they are unanimous to the outside world.

What's more, if you want that position, having many children is a great advantage. "

Jealousy does not exist for the current Huilan. It is normal for wives and concubines to be in groups. Her father also has many concubines, and there are many children. This is too normal.

Li Chengze looked at her with complicated eyes, and sighed helplessly, this girl is not enlightened, forget it, she is too young to force herself, she always has me in her heart.

"You are right. You are always forced to marry a woman you don't like. In fact, as princes, we are helpless. Even the emperor is not exempt."

"Yeah, the emperor may not like all the beauties who pay tribute. You and I are mortals, so how can we have no worries. If you don't like it, you can go twice less, and it would be better if you come to me more."

Huilan consciously found a coup and shook her head triumphantly.

Li Chengze laughed again, "You, let Gu tell you what's good, why don't you know how to be jealous."

"Aren't you going to marry me back if you're jealous or not? Besides, being jealous is a qualification for a crown princess. I, a concubine, have no right to ask you not to touch other women."

Huilan laughed, I really want to be a pet, but you can't do it now.

"If you can't play, you can't win."

He threw down the chess piece angrily, and snorted like a child who couldn't get candy.

I felt a little suffocated, and I didn't know where to start. Anyway, I was very aggrieved.

Huilan looked at him suspiciously and blinked, not understanding what was wrong with him.

Seeing that her eyes were full of ignorance and confusion, Li Chengze sighed helplessly and lowered his shoulders, "I'm fine, I want to drink."

"Okay, I'll give you the fruit wine I made."

Huilan thought about it and nodded with a smile.

"That's what women drink."

Li Chengze was lying on her lap, with his legs crossed, and acted coquettishly in her arms like a big child.

"You are sure not to drink, but don't regret it."

Huilan pursed her lips and asked back, with a sly smirk in her eyes.

"Drink, why don't you drink."

Li Chengze raised his eyes to stare at her, rolled his eyes, and changed his words happily.

"No, you can choose something else."

"No, just fruit bar, listen to you."

Li Chengze glanced at her, his expression clearly said, don't try to trick Gu, I know you must be tricky.

"Oh! Our prince is unparalleled in resourcefulness."

Li Chengze curled his lips in disgust, with a proud face, "It's not for this, really..."

Huilan bowed her head and kissed his forehead, giggling.

For dinner in the afternoon, half a roast leg of lamb was served, plus a few delicate dishes.

Huilan asked someone to bring a jar of fruit wine, and specially served it in a glass cup. It was the spiritual fruit wine she brewed herself, and it was secretly transported out. She would have a few glasses of wine when she was free.

"Well, it's a delicious fruity smell, it smells very good."

Li Chengze smelled the rich fruity fragrance in the wine, the taste is fresh and pleasant, which is very good.

"Come and eat the food first, drink the wine slowly."

Li Chengze sliced ​​the mutton with a knife and put it in her small dish for her convenience.

After eating the meat, I took a sip of the fruit wine, the taste was fresh and slightly sweet, the mouth was soft, and the warm current flowed into the dantian.

Li Chengze was quite pleasantly surprised that the effect was the same as medicinal wine.

"Good wine, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good."

"Of course, this girl is versatile."

Huilan snorted arrogantly, which made him laugh out loud.

The two drank a jug of spiritual wine, and ate a lot of leg of lamb. The atmosphere of the meal was very pleasant.

After drinking the spiritual wine, Li Chengze naturally wouldn't let Huilan go. After a lot of trouble, he had to ask for water twice before he let her go.

Early the next morning, he went to court full of energy, and told his servants not to wake Huilan up, and let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

The draft has been busy in the palace for nearly half a month, and it is finally over.

The crown prince and Ma's daughter were summoned by the queen and the queen mother respectively, and were rewarded with jewelry.

The Crown Princess performed very dignified and generous, which was unanimously praised by everyone.

The Empress Dowager personally inspected the beautiful girls, and filled in two more women for the East Palace, the fifth-rank Liangyuan Qian, the sixth-rank Chenghui Zhang, and Yu Chenghui, who was demoted before, there are three people, and there can be ten according to the regulations.

Qian's and Ma's daughters have the same status, they are both five-rank Liangyuan, and Qian's father is a third-rank feudal official. This is the person specially selected by the queen mother for the prince, with the purpose of suppressing the Ma family and the queen.

Zhang's father was an official of the fourth rank and was also an official with real power. He was a very talented person who was reused by the emperor.

In this way, the sphere of influence of the Eastern Palace has been expanded, but it is not certain whether it will be stable, but it will not let the Ma family and the Queen's family dominate.

However, this situation is not easy for the Crown Princess. There is more than one official daughter from a good family background, which is a great threat and pressure to her, which is somewhat embarrassing.

After the person is selected, the process of the wedding has already started, and the foster mother has gone to Zhou's house to teach the princess the etiquette in the palace and the process of the wedding.

The Qian family, the Ma family, and the Zhang family were carried into the East Palace by a sedan chair, and the East Palace will welcome them with appropriate decorations, that's all.

This time, the Empress Dowager also selected several young and beautiful girls for the emperor to fill the harem.

Today is the day when the three concubines moved into the East Palace. Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Qian moved into Mrs. Li's and Mrs. Yu's courtyards respectively.

In the past, the Yu family was a third rank and could have a separate courtyard, and the place was very spacious, but now she is only a sixth rank, so she is not qualified to live alone in a bedroom, and the East Palace is not that big.

Mrs. Qian lived in Mrs. Yu's place, and Mrs. Ma lived in Mrs. Li's Yilan Hall.Zhang and Yu lived together.

Earlier, when Huilan was just promoted, Li Chengze asked her if she wanted to change to a bigger bedroom, but she refused. She likes Qinghui Garden very much. The place is small but quiet, and it can't accommodate so many people. Her mind is gone.

That's why she didn't move her. Originally, according to Li Chengze's intention, Yu Shi went out to live, and Huilan moved in. She lived alone in a bedroom, which was spacious and bright, but she didn't care about the place where Yu Shi lived. It was awkward, so she didn't want it.

Now the three of them are simply put together. Yu's Linhua Hall is spacious enough to accommodate several people.
