Chapter 255 "The Joy of Nongwa"
Xianyang Harem.
Yao Meiren Mansion.
Today's Yao Meiren's Mansion is extremely lively. To celebrate the Qin royal family's "Nongwa's Joy", the entire mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and guests are feasting.
"The Joy of Nongwa" comes from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Sigan": it is a place for giving birth to a woman, a place for sleeping, a bag for clothes, and tiles for Nong
simply put.
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 great fanfare, even the royal family. The world envied the magnificence of the palace, but 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 gives birth to a boy, it will attract jealousy and hatred from other people. If they hate this person for giving birth to a boy, they will deprive some of the status of their own children in the future.
If a concubine gives birth to a girl, although it will not pose a threat to the status of the concubine who has a boy, it will secretly attract ridicule and contempt from others.
Hate people, laugh at others, think people are poor, and fear people are 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 it was 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, only two concubines were pregnant in Xianyang Palace.
Hu beauty.
Yao Meiren.
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 State has already been born, and even now he has started to 'supervise the country'.
All the sons born after this are basically doomed that they are unlikely to have the opportunity 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.
on the contrary.
Giving birth to a princess at this time is actually a great thing.
Who is Mr. Mo?
This is Lord Shengping of the Great Qin Dynasty, who is an official censor, and is 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.
To put it bluntly.
If there is any son in Xianyang who can get the support of Mr. Mo, 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 should have been under the control of Ying Zheng, but now Ying Zheng is away on an expedition. Although Fusu has the right to 'supervise the country', he is obviously not qualified to preside over such things.
So Yao Meiren's "Nongwa Zhixi" can only be presided over by the Empress Dowager Huayang.
In the past, the relationship between Yao Meiren and the Empress Dowager Huayang was not bad, but it was not close. If an ordinary princess wants to have such a big sex, the Empress Dowager Huayang will probably not agree.
But this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang agreed.
Empress Dowager Huayang can not give face to Meiren Yao, but he can't not give face to Jun Mo.
After all, at this time, the Empress Dowager Huayang represents the face of the Qin royal family. If she quarrels with Mo Jun on this kind of matter, it will not only make her appear petty, but also cause dissatisfaction from the Ying clan.
The Empress Dowager Huayang can rely on her identity as a grandmother to play emotional cards with Ying Zheng, but facing the old men of the Ying clan, his identity as the Empress Dowager is 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 others over there, go and sweep the door again."
"How is the preparation in the kitchen? Go to someone to remind you. 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 was pinching orchid fingers, and was instructing a group of young eunuchs and maids to clean and tidy up the courtyard in a sharp voice.
Twenty or thirty servants were busy in and out, without resting for a moment.
At this moment.
I only heard a sharp shout suddenly coming from the door.
"Zhang Liang is here."
Hearing the shout from outside the door, the servant who was still sweating profusely and directing the crowd just now changed his expression, 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 moment, a dignified woman in a green dress was standing at the door of Yao Meiren Mansion. Seeing this person, Director 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 Mr. Qian, and said, "I heard that elder sister Yao has won a princess. I am very happy. 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.
Several more people came to the front of the mansion, and the servants outside the door shouted again.
"Bazi Li is here."
"Chen Liangren has arrived."
"Yang Liang has arrived."
······
The largest harem of the Qin State is the "Queen".
However, Yingzheng has not set up the position of "queen" so far, and under the queen, all princesses are divided into seven grades, which are:
Madam, beauty, beloved, eight sons, seven sons, chief envoy, young envoy.
Meiren Yao's status in the harem used to be 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 royal palace, even the order of the guests' visits is also particular. Generally speaking, the higher the status, the later they come.
So the people who arrived at the beginning are mostly Bazi, Zhang Liang, and the first class of beauties.
Yingzheng has many harem.
In just two quarters of an hour, Yao Meiren's residence was already full of birds and birds, very lively.
Until two quarters of an hour later.
Some heavyweights began to enter the arena one after another.
"The eldest son is here."
"Madame Zheng is here."
