No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Liu's temper was not very good before, but after being taught a lesson by life, she has changed a lot.

In addition, she now lives with Song, who almost treats her as her own daughter.

He was a completely different person now, and he felt very sympathetic towards Zhang's suffering.

When he heard that someone was interfering and preventing Zhang and her daughter from reuniting, he wanted to rush up and blow that person's head off.

Geng, on the other hand, said calmly, "No way, now that the wife is gone, who can still interfere?"

Everyone knows about the concubine and no one cares about it.

Even if Wu wanted to obstruct it, she doesn't have the ability to do so, right?

Zhang curled her lips and said, "You wouldn't believe it if I told you, it was Fu Jin's father who was in charge of this matter!"

"You're really nosy!"

"No, he's a grown man, why would he care about such trivial matters?"

"No wonder we've lost so many battles. We have no ambition."

......

The four of them took advantage of the fact that they were playing mahjong behind closed doors and mocked Fei Yanggu without any hesitation.

Or maybe gossiping about others is a great way to promote friendship among girls?

After all these people united against a common enemy, even the bad relationship would be improved.

Zhang finally caught someone scolding that old man Fei Yanggu, and she let out a lot of anger.

After cursing, everyone drank tea to moisten their throats before asking, "What did the master say? Did the concubine go to beg?"

I can't be controlled by a former father-in-law, right?

This request is also unreasonable. There is no master in the main courtyard. Are we asking the servants to raise the little prince?

Zhang curled her lips and said, "What can I do?"

hiss? !

She is floating!

You dare to criticize me!

Three pairs of round eyes stared at her, but Zhang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her.

It was what she heard in the front yard that made her completely doubt the Fourth Master.

Seeing how submissive he was to Fei Yanggu, it felt like the world was collapsing.

Think about it, if a mountain that you always thought could shelter you from the wind and rain compromises with outsiders, what else could that be but disillusionment?

However, Zhang did not dare to say much. After all, no matter what the master did outside, he was the one who decided their life and death inside.

She turned around and praised Lin Mingyan: "Our concubine still has a way. Didn't Fei Yanggu forbid Hongshi to leave the main courtyard?"

"She let me move into the main courtyard!"

"Now, no one can separate Hongshi and me!"

She was so excited when she spoke, praising Lin Mingyan sincerely, and she wanted to open her heart to show everyone!

"Move to the main courtyard?" Even Mrs. Song was surprised.

She had lived in the main courtyard before, and although her life was not satisfactory, she could not say against her conscience that the main courtyard was bad.

And her wife was still alive at that time, so of course she didn't feel comfortable living there.

Now that Zhang has moved in, she can be her own boss, which is really comfortable.

Not to mention a small Ruixue Tower, even Shaoguangyuan and Libaiyuan combined are not as comfortable as the main courtyard!

Geng also hurriedly said: "That's a blessing in disguise!"

Liu even felt a little jealous: "Sister Zhang, I'll go to the main courtyard to play with you next time."

Just think about it, it would be nice if we could play mahjong in the main courtyard, but that would be tantamount to stepping on the concubine's grave.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t know what “dancing on a grave” means, otherwise she would definitely nod her head wildly and say “yes, yes, yes”.

Seeing the sisters' envy, Zhang was in a good mood and said, "Of course, feel free to come and play with me when the time comes."

If she hadn't still had her common sense, knowing that the wife had just died, she would have invited her sisters to her room to play mahjong.

After that, he returned to the topic: "After so many years in the mansion, I think I understand it."

"At the critical moment, Concubine Fu Jin was good to us."

"Look, when Fu Jin was in charge of the family, the main courtyard was full of delicious food and drinks."

"I heard that Fu Jin loves to eat knife fish, and one piece costs over a thousand taels."

"How much was our monthly allowance back then? Two taels, right?!"

Talking about this, Song had something to say: "That's right, two taels of silver a month, and if you want to eat the food you want, you have to pay for it yourself."

"At that time, I could hardly save any money throughout the year."

If she could have the life she has now as soon as she entered the mansion, then anyone who wants to compete for favor can do so, but she won't go anyway.

It's just too hard. If I don't fight, there will be no way to survive. That's why I risked my life to have a baby.

In the end, not a single child was left, and she was heartbroken and her health was damaged.

Then he turned to Geng and Liu, "You two are lucky to have come in late!"

"Isn't it? We've really caught up with the right time," Zhang also said with a sigh: "Look at what we are wearing now?"

"When I first entered the mansion, I only had a few sets of clothes to wear, and Fu Jin didn't make new ones for me. During that period, I didn't dare to go out."

As they talked, they began to feel real emotions, especially Song and Zhang, who shed tears when they recalled the past.

The more I talk about it, the more I feel that my life now is like falling into a honey pot.

An idea gradually occurred to Liu, who asked, "Sisters, do you think Master will marry a successor?"

"If a new concubine comes, then our lives will be..."

Could it be that the situation has returned to the level when Fu Jin was in charge of the family?

That's so sad!

Geng was stunned for a moment and said, "That's impossible. The concubine is so favored, the master won't marry again, right?"

"Then who knows?" Liu was still very worried.

Zhang was very confident: "No one can stand out!"

"I think a concubine like that is just like the enchanting beauty in the operas... Just wait and see, she will definitely have the master completely under her thumb."

"Let me tell you, when I first saw her in the courtyard, I thought she was as beautiful as a fairy..."

Zhang praised with great joy, having long forgotten the envy and jealousy she felt when she first saw Lin Mingyan.

I didn't want to get close to her at all, for fear that I would become the green leaf that sets off the red flowers.

She had never thought at that time that there would be a day when she would have to flatter Lin Mingyan so much.

Everyone in the mansion is thinking about this, and of course people outside are thinking about it as well.

Among the emperor's sons, the eldest and the fourth have no wives, so doesn't this position become vacant?

Those who have daughters of marriageable age are all interested.

But the Fourth Master has to wait at least a little longer. Although he is a prince, he still has to observe a year of mourning for his wife out of respect.

As for the Prince of Zhi, the princess has been gone for more than half a year and the mourning period is about to end.

Everyone's minds became active, and they asked around to see if they could use this talent show to help their daughters gain a better future.

It seems like the spring of the 40th year is approaching, and this year is another election year.

The selection held every three years was a big event for the Manchus, because according to the rules, the daughters of bannermen had to participate in the selection.

Moreover, unlike the previous dynasties where engaged women did not need to go through the selection process, in the Qing Dynasty, banner women who did not go through the selection process were not allowed to get married.
