Chapter 255 'The Joy of Nongwa'
Xianyang harem.
Yao Meiren Mansion.
Today's Yao Meiren Mansion is extremely lively. In order to celebrate the "Happiness of Nongwa" of the Qin royal family, the whole mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and guests are feasting.
"The joy of making tiles" comes from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Sigan": it is a place for giving birth to a daughter, a place for sleeping, a bag for clothes, and tiles for playing
simply put.
It is the happy event of the birth of a girl in the family.
In ancient times, the birth of a girl would not have been celebrated with such fanfare, even the royal family. The world envied the magnificence of the palace, but they didn't know that many times, it was not much different from the market place.
Even where too many women gather, fighting might be even more terrifying.
In the harem.
If a concubine gave birth to a boy, it would arouse the jealousy and hatred of other people. If they hated this person for giving birth to a boy, they would deprive some of their own children of their status in the future.
If a concubine gave birth to a girl, although it would not pose a threat to the status of the concubine with a boy, it would secretly attract ridicule and contempt from others.
Hate others, laugh at others, dislike others for being poor, fear others for being rich.
This kind of thing seems to be the same no matter where it is.
So in the past, if a concubine gave birth to a daughter in the Xianyang harem, most of them would simply celebrate in the royal family according to etiquette, and then inform the officials to announce the birth of the princess.
But this time is different.
As early as two years ago, when Mo Jun had just "appointed the king", Ying Zheng had ordered that the next born princess would be betrothed to Mo Jun.
In the past two years, there were only two concubines who were pregnant in Xianyang Palace.
Hu beauty.
Yao beauty.
Among them, Hu Meiren is still pregnant with Liujia.
On the contrary, Yao Meiren, who was expected to officially give birth in half a month, suddenly gave birth to a baby girl.
This is simply dropping a 'big gift package' out of thin air and delivering it to Yao Meiren. After all, the eldest son of the Qin Kingdom has already been born, and even now he has started to 'supervise the country'.
All the sons born after this were basically destined to be unlikely to have the chance to occupy that position in the future.
And even if there is, there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with Yao Meiren.
Because the power behind Yao Meiren is not enough to support his children to fight for that right.
in contrast.
Giving birth to a princess at this time is actually a great thing.
Who is Mo Jun?
This is Lord Shengping of the Great Qin Dynasty, the official worship doctor Yushi, and also the teacher of Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin Kingdom. In the entire Qin Kingdom, Mo Jun is definitely one of the most trusted people of King Qin Yingzheng.
Young and promising, rich and beautiful, whether it is status, fame, rights, wealth... Mo Jun already has it all.
It doesn't sound good.
If there is any son in Xianyang who can get the support of Mo Jun, it is not impossible to fight for the throne.
But such a person is going to become his uncle right now, of course Meiren Yao should celebrate with great fanfare and publicize this good thing.
The ceremony of the concubine's birth was originally supposed to be under the control of Yingzheng, but now Yingzheng is away on an expedition. Although Fusu has the right to 'supervise the country', he is obviously not qualified to preside over such things.
Therefore, Yao Meiren's "Nongwa Zhixi" can only be presided over by the Empress Dowager Huayang.
In the past, the relationship between Meiren Yao and the Empress Dowager Huayang was not bad, but it was not close. If an ordinary concubine wanted to have such a big sex, the Empress Dowager Huayang would probably not agree.
But this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang agreed.
the reason is simple.
The Empress Dowager Huayang could not give Yao Meiren face, but he had to give Mo Jun face.
After all, at this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang represented the face of the Qin royal family. If she confronted Mo Jun about this kind of matter, she would not only appear petty, but also arouse the dissatisfaction of the Ying clan.
The Empress Dowager Huayang was able to use her status as a grandmother to play emotional cards with Ying Zheng, but facing the old men of the Ying clan, his status as the Empress Dowager was not so useful.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle, the distinguished guests are coming soon, this time the distinguished guests are different from the past, if things go wrong, be careful with your heads."
"There are those over there, go and sweep the door again."
"How's the preparation going in the kitchen? Go and remind me personally, the banquet must be served on time, and there must be no delay."
In Yao Meiren's mansion, a servant dressed in eunuch's attire pinched his orchid finger and was instructing a group of young eunuchs and maids to clean and tidy up the courtyard.
Twenty or thirty servants were busy in and out, without resting for a moment.
At this moment.
All I heard was a sharp shout from the door.
"Zhang Liang is here."
Hearing the shout from outside the door, the servant who was sweating profusely just now commanding the crowd suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly whispered: "Hurry up, put down everything in your hand, and step back."
Numerous maids and petty officials hurriedly retreated, but the Chief Manager of Yao Meiren's Mansion first wiped the sweat from his forehead with a thin handkerchief, then quickly smiled and walked to the gate Start welcoming guests.
At this time, a dignified woman in a green dress was standing at the door of Yao Meiren's Mansion. Seeing this person, Manager Qian immediately greeted her with a polite smile.
"The slave has met Zhang Liangren, he is very polite."
"Boss Qian is very polite."
Zhang Liangren smiled politely, then took a gift from the servant beside him, handed it to Manager Qian, and said, "I heard that Sister Yao has won a princess, and I am very happy, so I am here today to congratulate you."
"Zhang Liangren is too polite, please come in quickly."
After receiving the gift, Manager Qian smiled and handed it to the servants beside him, and then bowed to welcome Zhang Liangren into the mansion.
And it didn't take long.
A few more people came to the front of the mansion, and the servants who greeted the guests outside the door shouted again.
"Bazi Li is here."
"Chen Liang is here."
"Yang Liang is here."
······
The largest person in the harem of the Qin State is the "queen".
However, Yingzheng has not established the position of 'queen' so far, and under the queen, all princesses are divided into seven grades, which are:
Madame, beauty, beloved, eighth son, seventh son, chief envoy, young envoy.
In the past, Yao Meiren's status in the harem was neither high nor low, but today's banquet is special, so the princess who is eligible to be invited here has the lowest rank as the 'Eight Sons'.
When hosting a banquet in the palace, even the order of the guests' visits is also particular. Generally speaking, the higher the status, the later they come.
Therefore, most of the people who arrived at the beginning were Bazi, Zhang Liang, and the first class of beauties.
Yingzheng has many harem.
But in just two quarters of an hour, Yao Meiren's residence was already full of Yingying and Yanyan, very lively.
Until two quarters of an hour later.
Some heavyweights began to enter the arena one after another.
"The eldest son is here."
"Mrs. Zheng is here."
