Chapter 968 Kangxi's Harem, Consort Liang (5)
"Listen to our Jin'er."
Abu Nai stated directly: "In recent years, many children in the capital have died young, including those in the palace."
If a child is born with great difficulty and is weak and sickly, it will be very difficult to raise him/her.
We don't need to make unborn children suffer.
Just pick someone with good health, a good sex life, and whose family members are understanding.
Zhangjiashi came to listen to the opinion of her husband, Abu Nai.
He no longer insisted on marrying his own niece, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If that's the case, the eldest daughter of Deputy Vanguard Commander Anjia is gentle and sensible."
I've heard that the eldest daughter of the family of the bondservant captain Tala is of good character and temperament.
Furthermore, the eldest daughters of the Censor Chang Jia and the Right Councilor of the Ministry of Personnel Fucha are also of good character.
None of these families' children are competitive or ambitious.
Jiehe, Shenxi, you two brothers, pick out what you like together.
"Let's just arrange your marriage at the same time."
The two brothers had no objections.
Under their mother's arrangement, they chose people they found acceptable.
Wei Jiehe chose the eldest daughter of Fucha, the Right Councilor of the Ministry of History.
Their branch of the Fuca clan is not the direct line; the highest-ranking member is this fourth-rank Right Councilor.
Wei Jiehe is currently a fourth-rank imperial guard captain, more than a match for her family's legitimate daughter.
Wei Shenxi had his eye on the eldest daughter of the family of the bondservant captain Tala.
Although he was just a lowly soldier in the Imperial Household Department's Department of Punishments.
My father and elder brother were both fourth-rank officials, and everyone knew about the special status of the Imperial Household Department.
The Tara family naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing.
Li Siqi investigated for her brothers.
Both the Fuca clan and the Tara clan are good.
At least he's not someone who's arrogant and can't distinguish between reality and ideals.
The two families are interested in a marriage alliance.
They walked quickly while carrying their luggage.
Because Lady Fucha had participated in the preliminary selection, she deliberately missed it.
Therefore, she can get married at any time.
After the eldest sister-in-law married into the family.
Li Siqi is already thirteen years old.
When he was twelve, his parents thought he was too young and postponed his participation for a year.
Now that he is thirteen years old, it is not possible to postpone it for another year.
The whole family started preparing for her participation in the preliminary election.
"You're so beautiful, little sister!"
Looking at the graceful young woman, Lady Fucha couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid my younger sister won't be able to pass this selection."
"fine."
Li Siqi smiled nonchalantly, "Let fate decide."
So be it, I'll go to the palace. Anyway, I can leave when I'm twenty-five.
"If I can get it done, I'll come back."
"Jin'er, be careful."
Hearing this, Lady Zhangjia felt both distressed and helpless, saying, "It's best not to go to the palace if you can avoid it."
With your lazy nature, how can you serve your masters in the palace?
It's better to stay at home.
"Mother, this is not something I can decide."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "But it's not a big deal to go to the palace. Daughter can go to a place where no one else will choose her to be a palace maid."
That way, my daughter will definitely be able to stay in the palace until she's twenty-five.
"I just hope Mother won't be disappointed that her daughter has come back to find you again."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you silly child?"
Zhangjia was both amused and exasperated.
No matter how reluctant the family members were, when the time came, they still had to send the person to the palace.
With a change of clothes, Li Siqi, like everyone else, lined up to enter the palace.
Registration and roll call were conducted, and then the training began.
Yes, even palace maids needed training.
This was Li Siqi's first time being a palace maid, and she found it quite interesting.
The palace maids shared a room with eight people each.
There's absolutely no privacy.
The only people with her besides Daijia were...
She didn't see anyone else.
It is unknown whether Wuya and the others were among this group of palace maids.
However, there were no concubines of the Uya clan in the harem yet.
"You look so good-looking."
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman, Dai Jia said softly, "It seems you'll be leaving soon."
As soon as she said that, everyone else turned their attention to Li Siqi.
A pair of envious eyes stared at her, as if they wanted to devour her.
There was nothing that could be done; the original owner was already known as the most beautiful woman in the harem.
Although the palace maids in front of her were quite pretty and could be considered beautiful women, they looked like ordinary people in comparison to her.
It would be abnormal if they didn't target me.
"Once we're in the palace, we'll all follow the instructions of the head maid."
Li Siqi glanced at them indifferently, "No one can make decisions for anyone else."
Hearing her words...
Someone wanted to say something, but when they met Li Siqi's cold, indifferent eyes, the words stuck in their throats.
Li Siqi ignored them.
The things I packed up are now ready to rest.
Although no one said anything more, Li Siqi still felt their rejection and isolation.
Of course, Li Siqi didn't care.
After all, she didn't intend to become best friends with these people.
It should be said that after entering the palace, everyone became an opponent.
As for who will have the biggest laugh, that depends on each person's methods.
Of course, it wasn't that no one tried to win her over.
Li Siqi simply maintained a lukewarm relationship with people.
Time slipped away during various training sessions.
Li Siqi's performance was neither particularly outstanding nor mediocre.
The head maids knew what was going on, and perhaps because they saw her pleasant demeanor, they never deliberately made things difficult for her.
Of course, it's unlikely that they'll wholeheartedly protect you.
Having experienced various hardships in the palace, they also knew very well that good looks did not represent everything.
Sometimes, those who are fond of color find their flowers wither faster.
half year later.
These palace maids are finally going to be assigned to serve their masters.
Ambitious palace maids began to mobilize their resources and try every means to reach the places they desired.
Only Li Siqi remained calm.
It's as if they don't care where they go.
This surprised everyone.
"Jin'er."
Dai Jiashi and she weren't exactly close friends, but they could exchange a few words.
Seeing her indifferent expression, I couldn't help but ask, "Where do you want to go?"
"I do not know."
Li Siqi gently shook her head, "The nannies know best where we're going."
I'll wait for the nannies to make the arrangements.
"How can we wait for arrangements?"
Daijia was astonished. "What if we send you to guard the palace or do hard labor?"
"Probably not."
Li Siqi responded softly, "I believe you, Granny."
"idiot!"
Wusu muttered under her breath, "They still dare to believe those old witches."
You really don't know how to live or die."
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it.
The others also looked at Li Siqi with unspeakable expressions.
After all, who wouldn't want to climb the ranks once they enter the palace?
Since that's the intention, we should definitely go to the best place.
Li Siqi didn't care what others thought, nor could she control them.
Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean her family doesn't care.
Through Wei Shenxi's intervention, one of the matrons who assigned the palace maids was persuaded to cooperate.
So Li Siqi was called into her little room by the nanny.
"What are you thinking, child?"
Granny Cui looked helpless. "Don't you have anywhere you want to go?"
Aren't you afraid of worrying your second brother to death?
"Thank you for your concern, Granny."
Granny Cui was indeed the best nanny to her.
Although they don't receive special treatment, they will still protect you to some extent when something happens.
Li Siqi smiled at her, "Jin'er wouldn't dare trouble you, Granny. If possible, please arrange for me to tend to the flowers and plants in the small garden."
