Chapter 955 The Women's Thoughts
The ladies who were arranged to live in the Jinling Palace naturally understood what this meant. Even the dull Yingchun clearly understood her future fate. Even the maids like Xiuju and Ruhua were happy for their masters.
In a courtyard somewhere in the palace, Miaoyu put down her luggage, looked around, and couldn't help but say, "Why did you take us in? You didn't even ask if we agreed."
Xing Xiuyan smiled gently: "If Brother Cheng asked you, what would you choose?"
"I..." Miaoyu was speechless for a moment.
"If you don't want to, you can tell Brother Cheng when you see him later. Brother Cheng is such a good person, he will definitely not force you to do anything. He will let you go when the time comes, and he may even prepare money for you."
"I didn't say no...but...I am a monk..."
"Master Miaoyu, are you really a monk? You can't fool me. Well, now that you are here, just stay here with peace of mind."
In a courtyard on the other side, Wang Xifeng took Ping'er to look around at the layout of the rooms and could not help but nod repeatedly: "I never dreamed that I could live in the imperial palace. I always thought that our Jia Mansion was also a first-class noble family, but now compared with this imperial palace, it is still far behind. This is called nobility and grandeur."
"Ping'er is really enjoying life with grandma."
"That's not the case. You will no longer be my maid. Perhaps, you will have to call me Madam Ping'er."
"Grandma, please stop teasing me. If I...if I become a queen, you will definitely be a higher queen."
"You and I are different after all. I can't even think about the imperial palace or the imperial concubine. It would be great if I could become a concubine and give birth to a child, so that I can be honored by my son."
"Grandma, no matter what happens from now on, you are still my grandma."
"It's not in vain that I love you. Don't call me grandma anymore. Call me sister. People outside always say that once you enter a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea. This palace is much deeper than a noble family. If...if Cheng...he conquers the world and becomes the emperor in the future, there may be many concubines in his harem. We sisters must unite as one to keep his heart."
"Grandma...Sister, I understand."
"That's good to understand. Speaking of which, the position of the queen in the future will definitely belong to Miss Lin. In addition to Miss Lin, the ones whom Master loves the most are Miss Xue, the maid Tanchun, Yingchun and Xichun, who also have to be taken care of by him. And Yuanchun, her appearance and character are beyond reproach.
The four girls of the Jia family, who knows when... Ping'er, we need to go out more recently, visit Sister Lin, Yingchun, Xichun and others more often. From now on, we sisters will hug each other for warmth, which is always better than outsiders."
"Sister, what you said makes sense. Fortunately, we have a good relationship with Miss Lin."
"That's right. I've seen it a long time ago. Sister Lin is blessed. Look, this is the fate of an empress. She is the most noble in the world and the mother of the country. She is truly invaluable..."
At this point, Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, Rong's daughter-in-law Keqing is also a woman of excellent character and appearance. She is younger than me and has a gentle temperament. She used to listen to me. I wonder if Master... If we can also bring her to our side, it should be better..."
"I understand what you mean, sister, but it depends on what Master thinks. If Master doesn't like it, we should not make him happy."
"How could he not like it? You know, he liked to call me "sister-in-law" at that time..."
On the other side, Xiuju arranged everything for Yingchun, also smiling happily: "Girl, maybe you will be the queen in the future."
"Don't talk nonsense, it's...it's not certain yet..."
"Why not? They've already moved into the palace..."
"You can't talk nonsense, understand?"
"Got it, girl."
In Xichun's room across the street, Ruhua was also very happy: "Miss, this is the imperial palace. I only heard about it in operas before, but I never thought we could live in the imperial palace. Master Cheng is really amazing."
At the same time, in Kunning Palace.
Four maids, Zijuan, Xueyan, Jinchuan and Yuchuan, were busy running around, and a group of handmaids were also decorating the palace.
After finishing everything, Zijuan came to Daiyu and said, "Miss, this is Kunning Palace, where the Empress lives. It is said that Empress Ma, the empress of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, lived here. Miss, you will be the Empress from now on."
"Don't say more. I don't care about whether I am the queen or not. As long as my senior brother is where I am, I will be there. That's enough."
"I heard that Master Cheng's rebel army has already occupied half of the country. It may not be long before they unify the world. By then, Master Cheng will be the emperor, and the young lady will be the empress. We are also blessed after ten lifetimes of cultivation to be able to stay by your side."
Daiyu smiled slightly: "Yes, it is my greatest blessing to be able to know and accompany my senior brother to this day. If...if my senior brother really ascends to the throne, I will also learn from Queen Ma and be a good wife."
"I'm sure the girl can do it."
In Jinling City, between Rong and Ning Prefectures.
Since the city of Jinling had already been occupied when the Jia family was ransacked, the Rong and Ning mansions here were not affected.
After everyone from the Jia family entered Jinling City, they returned to the Rong and Ning mansions.
Lu Cheng assigned a team of female guards and a team of elite soldiers to Tanchun to help her take over the Rong and Ning mansions.
Therefore, as soon as everyone from the Jia Mansion in Kyoto arrived at Ningrong Street, all the Jia clan members from the two mansions hurried out to greet them, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Afterwards, the group successfully moved into the Rong and Ning mansions and quickly settled down.
Yuanchun looked at the female guard following behind Tanchun and couldn't help saying, "Third sister, that Master Cheng is so kind to you. Who knows, maybe he will take you into the palace in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Tanchun blushed slightly: "Brother Cheng, he...he is very caring towards the sisters."
"Yes, Sister Lin, Sister Xiangyun, Second Sister and Fourth Sister all seem to have moved into the palace."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that even my second sister-in-law would... Brother Cheng is really..."
"She is also a miserable person. Now she is valued by him and taken into the palace. It can be considered a good destination for her. Sister, you must be more careful when you enter the palace. There are many rules in this palace."
"We haven't even started talking about this yet, big sister, please don't say anything..."
At the same time, Jinling Xue family.
Aunt Xue looked at her daughter, then at the many members of the Xue family standing in the living room, as well as the two rows of guards on both sides of the living room, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously: My daughter is destined to be a royal consort after all.
Xue Baochai stood at the head of the group, looking at the clan members below, and spoke in a loud voice: "My uncles, elders, and fellow clan members, when my sister and I were forced to leave Jinling and go to Kyoto with our mother, you all had a part in it. However, considering that we are from the same clan, I don't want to pursue the past.
Now, General Lu's rebel army has occupied Jinling and owns half of the country. If we still guard our family property and just want to live our own lives behind closed doors, the Xue family will surely fall in the future. I propose that we donate 90% of our Xue family's wealth to the general as military expenses. What do you think? "
Everyone in the Xue family below was shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Xue Baochai above with some disbelief.
At this moment, the guards standing on both sides of the hall raised their spears together and slammed them on the ground, making a uniform sound.
The Xue family members standing in the middle were all shocked, and someone immediately spoke up: "I agree!"
"I agree!"
In fact, Lu Cheng had never really thought about taking the Xue family's wealth. Giving Xue Baochai a team of guards was also to support her and allow her to avenge the shame of being forced to leave Jinling Prefecture.
But Xue Baochai wanted to do something for Lu Cheng, just to let those clansmen who had tried to seize the family property from their main wife suffer a loss...
