Chapter 109:

The fourth and they didn’t know what happened to Runing. In fact, they hadn’t communicated with Gaoyou for a long time. He wasn’t sure if Gaoyou had given up on them. Even if he kept comforting and persuading himself, he still endured. I can't help but be afraid. He has been in Anfeng for more than two years. He almost spends his time communicating with people and ran out of money.
There was almost no rice in the family, and the red-sleeved trustees in the palace brought them money out, so the fourth child would not go to the streets to beg for food.
Although he became a small official in Anfeng, he actually didn't even use Yingmao to buy the official with money. It was just that he made a wider range of friends, and he was used to get closer to other small officials, and there was no monthly payment.
After all, Liu Futong is not stupid. You can buy it, but you can't buy high-ranking officials, and you can't buy real power. These officials are actually buying face and good-looking.
Although it is not allowed to buy officials on the surface, Liu Futong opened his eyes and closed his eyes, which can be regarded as an increase in revenue for Anfeng Treasury.
An old four sat in a chair and sighed. He felt that he had a clever head and seeds, but there was nothing he could do in Anfeng. Compared with him, An's wife was much calmer. She took the needle and thread every day. I went to chat with the female family members of my neighbors nearby. The women sat together drinking hot tea, embroidering, and chatting about new things that happened recently.
And the fourth child suddenly discovered that his wife actually enjoyed this kind of life, but she enjoyed not doing needlework in a warm room, but enjoying what she could hear from her female partner every day.
Then at night, I shared with the fourth child. The fourth child felt that he and his wife had been married for so many years, and his wife said the most during his time in Anfeng.
This good night, the wife wrote down the news she inquired with a secret code and put it in the cupboard. After she climbed into bed, she said, "I don’t know what happened to Red Sleeve in the palace. She always sends us money. The days in the palace should not be too sad ."
The fourth old man thought about Hong Xiu's pitiful little appearance, and said to his wife: "A woman like her is the one who will live the longest. It is the business to ask more about it."
In the eyes of the fourth child, Hong Xiu is a woman who rolled out of men’s piles. She was tougher than most women locked up in the backyard, and smarter than the women who worked in the fields. To put it bluntly, that’s She knows how to talk to people and talk to people and talk to ghosts. This is also a knowledge. How many people are capable but can't get up because of a mouth.
At this time, Hong Xiu was waiting next to the Queen. She relied on the court ladies and the clever words and expressions, and she was generous in her actions. In just one year, she changed from a tea-making court lady to a personal court lady. Today's job is to dress the queen. Beside the queen.
The queen is not very young, in her early twenties. She was spoiled and raised. She was kept in the yard since she was a child. She has developed a snow-white skin. The hair is well maintained, black and smooth, but the only thing is not good-- Her appearance can only be called mediocre. She has a square face, small eyes, almost no bridge of nose, and nostrils are still upright.
Concubine Li is different from the queen. She does not have the delicate snow-white skin of the queen, nor the dark and smooth hair, but her face is beautiful, and her status in the harem is empty. Only the emperor’s favor is real. No matter how low the position is, the emperor loves her, but the maidservant dare not be scornful. No matter how high the position, the emperor does not love her. The maidservant has a bunch of excuses to shirk.
Even the maidservants want a good future, but they always have to know where to work hard.
The queen was sitting on a chair, Red Sleeve was dressing her up. The queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror. It was not clear from the bronze mirror. The face seemed to be fogged, but the queen could still see her appearance. She is not beautiful, and family members always tell her, "Women do not stand by their looks, but only by virtue and virtue can they be invincible."
She touched her face.
Is she virtuous? She never asked about the emperor’s court affairs. She regarded the emperor as her heaven and everything. From the first day she entered the palace, she made up her mind to live only for her husband in the future. Perhaps this is virtue. Right.
Is she virtuous? She never cared who the emperor favored again, even the emperor pampered the concubine and forgot the reward, she had to make up for it, to comfort, maybe this is the wise.
But the emperor still didn't love her, and he didn't even want to sleep with her.
Even when she was in bed occasionally, the emperor was reluctant to look directly at her face. If she saw it, the emperor would still show disgust on her face.
When her mother entered the palace, she told her that she must give birth to a prince early. As long as there is a prince, her status will never be shaken.
She dared not tell her mother that the emperor did not want to touch her.
Which woman can give birth to a son on her own?
"Niang, this is this year's new hairpin." Hongsiu turned around and picked up a tray. On top of it was the exquisite jewelry that made ordinary people dumbfounded and could not afford it for a lifetime, but the queen just glanced at it and said in a calm tone Said, "These are too fancy, they are used for daily use in this palace."
Hong Xiu said softly: "Yes."
After Red Sleeve dressed the queen, she found that the queen was sitting in front of the mirror, tears falling down her eyes. Famous ladies were never allowed to cry. Their tears were turned into weapons and could not shed for themselves.
Hong Xiu made no sound, and it was not her turn to make a sound at this time.
It was the grand palace lady who came in and saw the queen crying alone, so she hurriedly pulled the red sleeves who dared not move to kneel down.
"Niang, take care of your body." The grand palace girl grew up with the queen since she was a child. Only then did she dare to say such a sentence, and her tears fell, "You can't tell the joke over there."
The queen's voice was hoarse: "Up and down the palace, who doesn't know that I am a joke?"
Those people secretly said that she was ignorant and appearanceless, but she stubbornly occupied the queen's seat. Didn't you see that the emperor did not enter the queen's palace several times in the past month?
She couldn't even argue.
She never thought of being a queen! When at home, she thought that she would marry her father's disciple, and her husband would respect her, not to mention affection, at least respect each other as guests, and be arms to each other.
But when she became a queen, she couldn't even ask her husband why he didn't give her face.
She was crushed by Concubine Li, unable to move.
The maid of the grand palace struck up an ugly smile: "Niang, the concubine Li is like a compliment, she is an enchantress, she is a queen, she is just a concubine."
The queen looked at the grand palace lady: "She is pregnant."
The maid dare not speak.
The queen's voice was very soft: "And I have no children yet."
"This child cannot be born." said the queen. "If she really gave birth to a prince, I would have no place to stand."
The grand palace lady bit her lower lip, why didn't she know? The mother is expensive by the child. If the Li family has a child, this child is the only child of the emperor, and the eldest son. There is no one without the concubine Li in the court. When the queen is found another wrong place, her seat will be in jeopardy. , The queen walked on the cliff, she took a wrong step, and there was an abyss below her.
Concubine Li's child could not be born, and even if it was born, she could not live.
The queen said: "I don't have anyone in my hands now."
The grand palace lady didn't dare to speak, she was always a little timid, murdering the emperor's heir, this was a great crime, enough for the family to fall to the ground.
At this moment, Hong Xiu raised her head suddenly, her face was full of tears, which made her look very embarrassed, her nose was running down, she didn't dare to wipe it, her voice choked: "Manny, let the slave go. ."
The queen looked at Hongxiu, and she asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
The red sleeves trembled: "I'm afraid."
Queen: "Then you are still willing to..."
The red sleeve sucked his nose: "It’s true that the mother said that slaves are also favored at home, and brothers and sisters also love slaves. They enter the palace but don’t want strict rules. Everyone has a clever mouth and a vicious heart. Okay, the slave is willing to share the worries for the empress."
The grand palace girl breathed a sigh of relief, and there was more pity in her eyes when she looked at Red Sleeve. She originally thought this Red Sleeve was a restless person. After all, she had a good face, but after getting along for a long time, she realized that this person had a free one. Good face is actually a fool. Whoever talks a few more words with her, gets closer, and gives away the things that are next to her.
The empress also saw her being so stupid that she always gave her some money, but she did not expect to gain her loyalty.
The queen was also a little moved. She said to Hong Xiu: "Come to me."
Red sleeves walked over, and the queen took her hand: "You are a good one. If you can get things done, I, my palace, will promote you to be a maid."
The red sleeves hid their faces and cried: "The slaves don't want this, the brothers and sisters teach the slaves to know the grace."
The queen finally couldn't help crying: "You all understand, you all understand the truth!"
The maid also cried, and the three of them cried together in the hall. People outside heard the movement inside, so they could only guard the door of the hall and not let anyone approach.
Hong Xiu was crying sincerely, but countless thoughts turned in his mind.
Although she is not the most useful for the Queen, many people know her, so the Queen will definitely not send her to the Li family to be a court lady.
The most feasible way is for her to be favored by the emperor, to seal her position and live in Li's palace.
At that time, the queen might have a fight with her, showing that she was seduce the emperor by disregarding the queen's kindness.
Whether Li will believe it or not depends on the queen and her ability.
This is a way, and another way is for the queen to punish her directly. Then, if Li wants to know news about the queen, he will come to win her.
But this method is not so easy to implement. There are too many uncertain factors. Li is so favored, and probably no longer has the queen in his eyes. The queen has no favor and no children. When she gives birth to the eldest son, she thinks You can do whatever you want with the queen.
Hong Xiu thought about it for a while, thinking that the queen would probably choose the first way.
This is the safest way. If she has a favor, Li will naturally find ways to approach her.
If she is not favored, she would only lose a court lady.
Li can't go to bed when he is pregnant.
The queen chose the first method that made sense.
In the middle of the red sleeve.

In fact, a long time ago, I thought about a palace fighting brain hole, through the story of the heroine helping the indigenous lady in the palace.
The hostess is calm, strong and self-sufficient, and the lady is silly, white and sweet.
However... if that's the case, what do I want a male lead?
