The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

Song Nanzhen watched the emperor come in and hurriedly got up to salute, with a respectful expression, he stood aside.

Feng Yi raised his hand to make people stand up, and said with a smile: "Get up, there are no outsiders here so don't be so nervous."

Song Nanzhen said yes, but he still didn't dare to relax in behavior.

Song Yunzhao knew that the difference between the monarch and his ministers was not a joke, so her father naturally did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Unwilling to see her father being so cautious in front of the emperor, she smiled and said, "It's time to leave the palace, and everyone in the family is still thinking about father. It is all due to the emperor's grace that our father and daughter can meet today. The courtiers and concubines can't embarrass His Majesty because of this."

Feng Yi glanced at Yun Zhao, seeing that she was speaking very seriously, and was about to say something, when Song Nanzhen asked to resign.

Okay, it really is father and daughter.

Feng Yi could see that Song Nanzhen was nervous and uncomfortable, so he didn't force him anymore, and asked Zhang Maoquan to send him out of the palace himself.

Song Yunzhao sent his father outside the hall, and said softly, "Father, you need to take care of yourself."

Song Nanzhen responded with a smile, "Jieyu must take care of herself in the palace."

"That's natural, you just need to rest assured." Song Yunzhao said with a smile.

Staring at the back of her father leaving, her eyes were a little sore, she raised her head slightly.

Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao through the window, taking into account her small movement of raising her head, and didn't look away until Yunzhao turned back to the hall.

Song Yunzhao entered the hall, went directly to sit beside the emperor, looked up at his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to see my father."

"Your father has done a great job in disaster relief this time, so it's okay for you father and daughter to meet each other." Feng Yi looked at Song Yunzhao's still red eyes and replied.

Song Yunzhao glanced at the emperor, covered his face in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice: "Let the emperor see the joke, I really miss my father."

Feng Yi responded softly, held Yun Zhao's fingertips, and looked out of the window sideways. There is nothing in his life to miss, even the queen mother who lives in the palace now, he will not think of him There is still a mother in this world.

Soon the rewards for Dali Temple Minister and his party were issued. Dali Temple Minister Han Zhengchun was promoted to Zuodu Yushi. Song Nanzhen was promoted to be a doctor in the household department. Although he was only promoted by one rank, but from the semi-retirement yamen of Taipusi to the sixth department, it can be seen that the emperor really valued his promotion.

Although it was said that Song Nanzhen was used at the beginning because the emperor favored Song Jieyu, but Song Nanzhen couldn't stand it because he did a good job in errands and had real achievements. It would be a bit reluctant to scold him for being promoted by nepotism.

Song Nanzhen's promotion was a great joy for the Song family. Cai's intention was to throw a banquet to celebrate. The husband's promotion will give her daughter a face when she gets married.

Who knew that Song Nanzhen directly rejected him. At this time, the whole capital is staring at him and his daughter, and they want to put on a promotion banquet. Is it afraid that the imperial censor has no one to impeach?

Although he has a relationship with Mr. Han to go south for disaster relief, but the emperor transferred him to Yushitai to be the censor of Zuodu. He clearly liked Mr. Han's nature of impartial law enforcement and daring to speak. If he really did something out of line Mr. Han will definitely not cover up the matter for him.

The two husbands and wives had a big quarrel over disagreements, and Song Qinghan and Song Jinxuan's marriage was involved, which was even more messy.

This also involved the dowry for Song Qinghan. Song Nanzhen would not interfere with which child she gave to Cai's dowry, but when he knew that Cai's did not leave any portion for Yun Zhao, he was even more disappointed.

"She has already entered the palace as Jieyu, what dowry do you want?" Cai's face was even more hideous when she mentioned this, "If she hadn't framed her sister in the palace, Qinghan should be staying in the palace now..."

With a bang, the room fell silent.

Cai couldn't believe that her husband beat her, but Song Nanzhen got angry, pointed at Cai and cursed: "You have hated her since Yunzhao was born. These are old things. There is no mother-daughter relationship between you and I won't force it." But, don't you know the truth about entering the palace to run for election? Don't you know? Who are you dissatisfied with deliberately turning black and white? At the beginning, His Majesty let Qinghan out of the palace. Are you questioning His Majesty's will? If you want to die, just go, don't drag the whole family to be buried with you!"

Cai's face turned pale all of a sudden, she didn't think of this under her extreme anger, but she still refused to admit her mistake, and said through gritted teeth: "Now that she stays in the palace and has entered the eyes of the emperor, naturally she will say whatever she wants. Yes."

"You are simply unreasonable." Song Nanzhen calmed down quickly, he had never noticed that his wife had become so stubborn, "Since you have given Yun Zhao's share to Qing Han, it is also necessary for Qing Han's dowry to marry into the Hou's mansion." enough."

"What do you mean by that? You are a father. Don't tell me your daughter is not willing to add a dowry to her when she gets married." Cai asked her husband to pay for her eldest daughter, so she brought up this matter, but she never expected her husband to refuse. Take out the money.

Song Nanzhen's face turned completely cold, "You don't know why I did this?"

Cai's complexion changed again and again, because she didn't prepare a dowry for Song Yunzhao, so the husband wants to give Song Yunzhao the share that was given to Qinghan?

Song Nanzhen didn't even want to quarrel with her. Before leaving, he said, "You not only have a daughter, but also a son. I not only have your child, but also other children."

Song Qinghan has been taught badly by the Cai family. If the eldest son continues to be confused, he, the father, will not sit idly by.

Cai was shocked, the couple had been married for so many years, and this was the first time her husband said such words, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Yes, there are also two children born to Aunt Che.

Cai only hated herself for not being ruthless to get rid of him at the beginning, but now raising tigers has become a threat to her children.

Aunt Che knew about the quarrel between the two couples here. She immediately put on her makeup in the mirror and dressed herself carefully. Let newcomers enter the mansion again.

Aside from her, Aunt Feng was poor. She gave birth to her son and died before the full moon. Since then, she has been in a slump and fell ill for half a year.

Aunt Qin is a few years younger than her, but she has no children, so she lacks confidence.

Aunt Che carefully covered the fine lines at the corners of her eyes with powder, looked at herself in the mirror, and picked out a lake blue dress, outlining the thin waist that she had kept for many years.

The girl next to her was already waiting outside with the soup, and she took the time to let the kitchen cook the soup, and it was just right to send it at this time.

What a god-sent opportunity, the master and wife broke up unhappy, which is giving her an opportunity to take advantage of.

Concubine Che didn't think there was anything wrong with taking advantage of others' dangers. To be a concubine is to live in the cracks, not to be clever, and it will end up like Concubine Feng or Concubine Qin.

She carried the soup and went to the front study room, but the guard at the door hurriedly stopped her when she saw someone.

Aunt Che smiled and said: "You tell the master, if the master refuses to see me, I will go back."

"Auntie wait a moment." The long follower has a good impression of Aunt Che, although he is favored, he never makes things difficult for servants like them.

Soon, when Aunt Che got a long-term follower, she carried soup into the study, the curtains by the window of the study were lowered, the vision in the room was half-lit, and Aunt Che became more and more cautious.

She walked over gently, with a gentle smile on her face, and said softly: "Master, I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite ginseng soup. You have lost weight this time when you are on an errand, so you need to make up for it." repair."

Song Nanzhen didn't want to see Aunt Che at first, but when he thought of his second daughter's marriage, he still asked someone to come in and ask her. Hearing her care in a soft voice, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"Let the subordinates do these trivial matters." Song Nanzhen asked Aunt Che to sit down.

Aunt Che sat down next to the master, brought out the ginseng soup herself, and said with a smile: "I have been used to doing it these years, if you ask someone else to do it, what should I do?"

Song Nanzhen picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was a familiar taste. After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, his anger dissipated a lot.

Song Nanzhen would not mention Cai's dissatisfaction in front of Aunt Che, looked at her and said: "I already know about Jinxuan's marriage, this marriage is not bad, you should prepare for her well, except for the public affairs, I will Add another one to Jinxuan so that she can get married properly."

Aunt Che was overjoyed and got up immediately, "My concubine is thanking the master for the second girl. With your words, the second girl will be able to marry decently."

Aunt Che had known for a long time that Madam would never subsidize her daughter, and she never expected Madam to be merciful. There is a fixed number of public shares, such as the marriage of a concubine, usually a dowry of five hundred taels.

Aunt Che has saved some private money over the years, leaving half for her son and the other half for her daughter. Coupled with the subsidy given by the master to his daughter, this dowry can be overestimated.

Aunt Che knew the master's temper well, so she acted very happy and did not ask for anything else.

Song Nanzhen couldn't help but compare Cai with Aunt Che, and heaved a heavy sigh in his heart.

Cai Shi is not as good as an aunt who knows how to advance and retreat.

Since Aunt Che brought the ginseng soup, she didn't intend to go back empty-handed. First, she got the dowry that the master gave her daughter to subsidize, and second, she hadn't seen her for a few months. She was a concubine of an Israeli servant, how could she just leave like this? Naturally, they stayed in the front yard.

The eldest lady in the east courtyard only smiled when she knew about it. Cai's own dignity was lost by her, and it was her own fault.

Aunt Che can endure and be ruthless and knows how to advance and retreat, and she is willing to wrong herself for the sake of her child. In a few years, it is hard to say what the situation in this mansion will be like.

However, Yun Zhao had told her that Aunt Che could only fight Cai's, and she would have to help Cai's town. Thinking about it, she couldn't bear to take care of Cai's affairs. She was confused and confused, and her temper became more stubborn the older she was .

But for the sake of the Song family's future, for her husband and son not to be dragged down by the Cai family, and for Yun Zhao not to be caught in the palace, she can only grit her teeth.

Song Qinghan's married wife had long guessed that she would not be able to withdraw, and Marquis Wuxin's mansion was not a small family, and the marriage was all settled. If she wanted to withdraw without a valid reason, she would offend him to death.

As for the matter of the concubine, Marquis Wuxin's mansion didn't deliberately hide it. The Song family knew about it, and they readily admitted it, so what else?

Song Qinghan could only jump into the fire pit she chose.

Song Qinghan's wife doesn't care about her marriage, Song Jinxuan has to take care of her here, plus her daughter Ye Xi's marriage, and her son...

The eldest lady has a dull face, the two brothers of the Song family are all born together, and the marriages of men and women are repeated one after another, which will really exhaust her to death.

According to the order of the teeth, Song Qinghan was naturally the first to marry, then Song Yexi, and finally Song Jinxuan. The son's marriage had to wait for her husband's news, so it could be put on hold for now.

Half a month after Song Nanzhen returned to Beijing, Song Qinghan got married.

Song Yunzhao was as stable as a mountain in the palace, without blinking an eyelid, it had nothing to do with her.

After the winter, Song Yexi got married, and Song Yunzhao asked someone to give him a box-adding gift. It was a set of jade bowls custom-made by Liushang Bureau for a lot of money. Thank you, and the sisterhood that developed with Song Yexi later.

Song Jinxuan's marriage was originally scheduled for next year, but the Yang family came to say that they wanted to send their youngest son to study in an academy in the south after the new year, so it would be best to get married before the year and let the young couple go out together after the year.

Aunt Che is the most excited. After entering the door, she can go out to study with her husband without having to set rules in front of her in-laws. The newlywed couple must have a good relationship. If they return to Beijing after giving birth to a boy and a half girl, the daughter will have a good relationship with her husband and have a child by her side, and her status in the Yang family will be stable.

Although Concubine Che was moved, she showed reluctance in front of Mrs. Cai, saying that she was so eager to let the second girl pass through the door, but she didn't think much of her as a concubine. He even deliberately went to cry in front of the master, and even pulled Song Yuming to intercede for his sister, one scene after another.

Mrs. Cai heard with her ears and saw her eyes. Aunt Che did not want her to make it happen. The Yang family came to ask for a date, and she agreed to let Song Jinxuan marry years ago.

Madam: ...

Song Nanzhen: ...

Song Yunzhao laughed when he heard the news in the palace, Aunt Che is really a talent, Song Jinxuan was raised by Aunt Che, with half the means of Aunt Che, life in the Yang family will not be bad in the future.

After all, Concubine Che was just a concubine, and she was subject to too many restrictions. Song Jinxuan was a regular wife when she married, and her situation was much better than Concubine Che's.

Compared with the gift for adding a box to Song Yexi, it is slightly reduced by 10%. After all, the two are different. If she gave Song Jinxuan more than half of the gift as Song Yexi, it would be easy to be criticized if it was spread, not to mention whether the eldest lady was happy or not.

What she prepared for Song Jinxuan was a set of silver Baifu bowls. In just a few months, the Liushang Bureau has earned her so much money.

Aunt Che looked at the set of silver bowls, cried and laughed, grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "As long as Jieyu stays in the palace, with this set of silver bowls, you will be safe in the Yang family."

"Auntie..." Song Jinxuan also cried, and couldn't bear to part with her auntie. They lived together for many years and lived in fear in the mansion. Others saw her auntie favored, but they didn't know how difficult it was for her auntie.

"Why are you crying? It's a good thing. Second girl, you have to laugh. You have to remember, don't mention me as an aunt when you arrive at the Yang family. You should always mention your wife, honor your wife, and mention your younger brother more often. I am a concubine. It will only embarrass you, madam is not good at all, she is also your aunt outside, you have to be respectful and filial, and you can't give others a handle."

"Auntie, I know." Song Jinxuan cried and nodded.

"You marry well, and I will watch your brother study and make progress. Jieyu paved the way for you. We have to do what we promised. When your brother becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official in the future, he will have the opportunity to repay Jieyu." Yu's kindness." Aunt Che said softly, "You live your life well in the Yang family, and only when you live well can Auntie's life be easy."

After saying these words, Aunt Che hesitated, and then said in a low voice: "You follow to the south. If the academy over there is really good, see if you can let your younger brother go to study too. I have been looking at Madam for the past few months. Looking at your younger brother's eyes is a bit frightening, I'm afraid she will do something for the young master."

Only by sending her son away can Aunt Che really feel at ease.

She is not young now, and she can't afford to gamble. If something happens to her son, who will she and her daughter rely on in the future?

Song Jinxuan was taken aback, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It's just my own guess. Maybe I'm guessing. In short, you keep it in your heart. Go if you have a chance, and if you don't have a chance, don't make things difficult for yourself."

She was also afraid that her daughter would be unhappy with Young Master Yang because of her younger brother.

Song Jinxuan nodded, "I understand, Auntie, don't worry."

Song Jinxuan got married on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the end of the year came in the blink of an eye.

In the past few months, the harem has been exceptionally peaceful, neither the third concubine nor Qin Xiyue has done anything out of the ordinary, and everyone lives in peace.

Song Yunzhao knew that it was mainly because the emperor had been making a lot of noise in the court these past few months. After Han Zhengchun became the censor of Zuodu, he really lived up to the emperor's high expectations. It was a machine gun that fired suddenly. If there is a handle, no one dares to impeach.

However, Han Zhengchun had reasons and evidences that made it impossible to refute.

Because of Han Zhengchun, Han Jinyi was promoted from Xiaoyi to noble concubine, even promoted two ranks, which was considered the biggest fluctuation in the harem.

When Han Jinyi was promoted to a noble concubine, she became the highest among their group of people entering the palace, except for Song Yunzhao and Qin Xiyue. Lu Zhixue's face was mournful, but she still congratulated Han Jinyi.

Song Yunzhao and Feng Yunjin looked very interesting, and the four of them pooled money and asked the imperial dining room to send a table of noodles to Wangyou Palace, and had a happy meal.

When the first winter snow fell, it fell more than a foot overnight, and the entire harem seemed like a fairyland. Icicles hung upside down everywhere under the eaves of the palace, colliding with the sun, reflecting colorful rays of light.

Others were admiring the snow, but Song Yunzhao was worried about the possibility of a snow disaster when he saw the thick snow. Unexpectedly, her worry became a reality. The heavy snow covered dozens of miles inside and outside the capital city. It is said that many houses were crushed by the snow overnight.

Song Nanzhen had experience in disaster relief, and was named by the emperor to follow the Minister of the Household Department.

Song Yunzhao was silent for a while, always thinking that his father was following the route of a professional disaster relief household, which is quite unique.

Because there is also such a snow disaster in the book, the heroine also made a contribution and gained a good impression in front of the emperor.

When Song Yunzhao was hesitating whether or not to cut off the bullshit, he didn't expect Qin Taifu and Qin Xiyue to move faster than her.

The most effective way to win the hearts of the people is to build porridge sheds to give out porridge. People whose houses have collapsed have no place to eat, and the porridge from the porridge sheds can save lives.

Qin Taifu immediately cooperated with the aristocratic family in the capital to do this. Qin Xiyue also took out her own money and sent it back to Qin's family, asking Qin Taifu to buy rice and cook porridge.

After Song Yunzhao found out, he didn't know what else to say except silence.

The heroine deserves to be the heroine, seeing that Han Jinyi has copied her promotion path, she wants to catch up.

Song Yunzhao felt that his position as Jieyu was in jeopardy, and he had to do something.

But the porridge hostess made it, so she didn't want to follow her behind to pick up leftovers.

She didn't have a good solution for a while, so she called Anshun to ask, "How did the capital deal with the heavy snowfall in previous years?"

When I was in Nanyu, I rarely encountered such heavy snow, even if it snowed there, there was only a thin layer.

Anshun hurriedly replied after hearing the words: "The first thing is to sweep the snow. As soon as the snow stops, the people in the palace should sweep it up quickly, otherwise it will not be possible to delay the trip of the masters. The second is to pad the soil. It seems that the snow is so big this time. The palace people couldn’t clean it up in time to allow the road to pass, so they could only simply sweep the snow and then spread a layer of soil. However, because this method is too laborious and materially resourceful, the road paved with soil can only be a road.”

Song Yunzhao understood, and after asking again and again, he realized that the snow in the palace was swept by the palace servants, the snow guards in the inner city were swept by the snow guards, and the snow in the outer city and the major roads in central Beijing was swept by the garrison.

This time the snow was so fierce that it was about a foot thick overnight. Not to mention the snow in the capital, even the snow in the inner city and the palace would take a lot of time to clean up.

There was no one who could borrow it, Song Yunzhao was thinking that if Qin Xiyue took the food first, then she could only think about the clothes. The common people can survive the snow disaster safely if they are full of food, but she can't do it alone when preparing clothes.

With such an opportunity to do meritorious service, how could she let Qin Xiyue take the lead.

Song Yunzhao's appeal is not good now, so he can only use the momentum.

Who borrowed it from this harem?

Concubine Zhuang is scheming and pretends to be virtuous. If she is allowed to take the lead, she will definitely take the credit for herself, and maybe she is thinking of kicking herself out of the game halfway to dominate the scene.

Concubine Wan is a talented woman with a cold personality, and such trivial matters in life are not in line with her temperament. Besides, Song Yunzhao and her aura are at odds and cannot cooperate.

Then only Concubine Lu is left. Concubine Lu is angry and arrogant, but she looks a bit smart and not too greedy. For example, in the matter of the imperial dining room, she was wronged. Although she didn't apologize, she secretly made up for herself.

Among the three concubines, Concubine Lu could barely be considered a partner for cooperation as a whole.

If you find the leader, you still have to recruit your own little partner. The more meritorious service you have, the better. In short, Qin Xiyue must not let Qin Xiyue take the lead.

Song Yunzhao didn't intend to take the credit of Qin Xiyue, but he couldn't let her take this opportunity to overwhelm him.

In the palace, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

If she is dominated by the heroine, she will not only lose face, but may even lose her life.

The 6,000-word update is complete, happy weekend, cuties.
