Chapter 210: Fight or Not Fight
"Sister Jiang!"
After a while, Li Liangdi came in and when she saw Jiang Liangdi, she greeted her with a warm smile on her face.
"and many more!"
Jiang Liang Di said, "We are both Liang Di, with the same rank, who are you calling sister?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Liangdi's face froze.
Both of them had important identities. Li Liangdi's grandfather was the Minister of Personnel, and Jiang Liangdi's father was a marquis.
However, the two of them had their own circles and had no intersection.
Li Liangdi called Jiang Liangdi "sister" right away. Apart from the fact that Jiang Liangdi was half a year younger than her, it did seem like she was putting Jiang Liangdi down.
I didn't expect Jiang Liangdi to be so disrespectful.
Li Liangdi was born into a family of civil officials. Her family had been in the upper echelons of society for generations. Even though she was somewhat cunning, she was caught off guard by Jiang Liangdi.
"Don't blame me, Li Liangdi. My Liangdi has been spoiled since she was young and has a rather straightforward personality." Mother Su quickly smiled and winked at Jiang Liangdi.
Jiang Liangdi simply lowered her head and raised her fingers. You wanted her to apologize, but it was impossible.
"Haha." Li Liangdi came back to her senses and smiled warmly again, saying, "I am older than Jiang Liangdi, so I called you sister out of pride, hoping to get closer to you. Since Jiang Liangdi doesn't like it, forget it."
Jiang Liangdi curled her lips. She hated girls who came from civil servants' families the most. They were cunning and didn't speak clearly at all.
If Li Liangdi got angry and scolded her, she would look at her differently.
It's not that she has any special quirks.
She just didn't want to associate with those scheming people. It was too tiring to associate with such people, with all the calculations going on all the time.
But she was not unaware of the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't say anything and didn't ask Li Liangdi to sit down.
Seeing this, Mother Su could only awkwardly ask Li Liangdi to sit down.
"In the deep palace of the East Palace, usually no one talks to each other, it's boring."
Jiang Liangdi ignored her, but Li Liangdi didn't care either. After sitting down, she smiled and talked to herself.
"I wanted to go for a stroll in the garden, but I heard that the Crown Princess invited Sheng Zhengpin's two sisters to visit the East Palace, and Sheng Zhengpin and Yu Liangyuan went to accompany them."
"What does this have to do with me?" Jiang Liangdi said indifferently.
Li Liang Di was delighted when she heard Jiang Liang Di speak, and lowered her voice and said, "Of the two girls from the Sheng family who came, one has been appointed as a concubine, and will enter the palace in two months when she reaches the age of marriage, and the other one is said to be married into the palace. They are sisters of the same clan as Sheng Zhengpin, and they are also close friends with Yu Liangyuan.
Even the Crown Princess had to condescend to get along well with them. We entered the palace late, so we were not favored to begin with. I am afraid that by then we will not even be able to compare with a concubine who came with us as a dowry."
When he spoke the latter part, his expression became somewhat resentful, as if he had come to Jiang Liangdi to complain about his grievances.
"Oh." Jiang Liangdi responded nonchalantly, not caring at all.
Li Liangdi looked dazed. I talked for a long time and you just replied with an "oh"?
Don't you care at all that you're being ignored?
"I'm a little sleepy. Li Liangdi, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I need Xiaotian for a while." Jiang Liangdi said, "Mother Su, please send her off for me."
"In that case, I won't bother you."
Li Liangdi stood up and walked out without saying hello.
Mother Su had no choice but to smile and see him off.
"Are you so angry already?" Jiang Liangdi curled her lips in disdain and picked up the storybook to continue reading.
Mother Su sent the people away and went into the house to see Jiang Liangdi reading the storybook as if nothing had happened. She stepped forward and snatched the storybook away, saying anxiously, "Liangdi, Li Liangdi's identity is not simple either. Even if you don't like her, you don't have to embarrass her like this."
Jiang Liang Di was not angry either, and said, "Mother Su, she has no good intentions. She said that the Crown Princess is a little afraid of the girls from the Sheng family, and that we are not favored, and we will be worse than a concubine's daughter in marriage. She just wants to instigate me to cause trouble for them and use me as a knife."
"I have guessed some of this, but there is no need to offend him and make an enemy for yourself," said Mother Su.
"My mother asked Mother Su to come with me into the palace because she thought that Mother Su was steady and could give me more advice. But how come Mother Su couldn't even understand this?"
Jiang Liang Di said calmly, "We have just entered the palace and haven't even fully understood the situation in the Eastern Palace. How does Mother Su know that today's conversation will not be spread? We should cut off our relationship with her at this time.
Fighting for favor, in the end, still depends on whether His Highness likes it or not. Only if His Highness likes it can you have the capital to fight for it. "
Mother Su was stunned after hearing this and looked at Jiang Liangdi with a strange expression.
"Mom Su, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Liangdi asked in surprise.
"Liang Di, have you been possessed by evil spirits?" Mother Su asked worriedly.
When she thought about it carefully, what Jiang Liangdi said did make sense.
She was a little confused because of her anxiety just now, and didn't think too much about it.
But my daughter has loved reading storybooks and listening to operas since she was young, and she doesn't seem to care about anything else.
Before, the Marquis and his wife were worried that it would be difficult to cope after the girl entered the palace.
How did you suddenly become so smart? "..."
Jiang Liangdi was a little speechless. She reached out to take back the storybook, opened it and continued to read. She said calmly, "I didn't have so many troubles at home before. There was no need to think about these things. It doesn't mean that I don't have a brain."
When Mother Su thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.
Although the Jiang family has more than one daughter, she is the only legitimate daughter.
He has been loved by his father and brothers since childhood.
Therefore, she always appeared to be heartless. After a long time, not to mention the Marquis's wife, even the servants in the mansion felt that she had no scheming or cunning at all.
"Liang Di, Li Liang Di does have bad intentions, but what she said does make some sense. The two girls from the Sheng family entered the palace with a dowry, and they have a good relationship with Yu Liangyuan. If they join hands, I'm afraid no one except the Crown Princess can compete with them." Mother Su said.
"Why should I fight? I've said it before, you are only qualified to fight if you are liked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me, so why should I fight? Besides, I don't plan to fight. It's good like this now, peaceful and quiet." Jiang Liangdi said without raising her head.
Mother Su: "..."
Mother Su was speechless. She looked at Jiang Liangdi reading the storybook with great interest and sighed.
Even her own master is unwilling to fight, what else can she, a servant, say?
But it’s better this way. Maybe I won’t be favored, but I won’t make any mistakes either.
…………
Li Liangdi left Jiang Liangdi and went to the courtyards of Li and Chen Liangdi respectively.
There is one principal wife in the prince’s harem, and then there are concubines.
There are two Liangdi, who are of the third rank.
There are four Liangyuan, who are of the fourth rank.
Now the number of Liangdi is full, and there is still one Liangyuan missing including Yu Yanran.
If Zhao Xing ascends the throne in the future, the positions with the title of concubine will most likely be chosen from these people.
However, it is not absolute. The status of the others is inferior, but if they give birth to the emperor's grandson and are very favored, they still have a chance.
Li Liangdi's instigation was not only to win favor, but also to win the title of future concubine.
Zhao Xing could not hide Li Liangdi's actions from anyone, and even what she said to the people she met was reported to Sanshui.
After hearing this, Zhao Xing didn't take it too seriously. He thought that with so many concubines, it was normal for them to intrigue among themselves.
As long as it is within a reasonable range, Zhao Xing doesn't want to care about it. It's nice to watch it for fun.
But this Jiang Liangdi is quite interesting.
Zhao Xing had favored several of them. When Zhao Xing favored them, the other three looked shy and timid, but in fact they were cooperating with him in various ways to please him.
Only Jiang Liangdi was very shy at first when Zhao Xing favored her. But later, when the passion grew stronger, she even took the initiative and seemed a little wild.
Let Zhao Xing enjoy a different kind of feeling.
After finishing the job, he fell into a deep sleep, which left a deep impression on Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing originally thought she was a tiger girl, but now it seems that she is actually very smart, but she just doesn't bother to calculate anything and just wants to live comfortably.
"Keep a closer eye on them. I want to see what they are going to do." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Zhao Xing suddenly had an idea. There have been constant palace fights since ancient times. Perhaps the emperors were not unaware of it and sometimes even watched it for fun.
No matter how the women in the harem fight or compete, the emperor is the core.
If they want to fight, they must try their best to please the emperor.
The emperors enjoyed their flattering service and had fun watching them.
……
After lunch, Zhang Guifen asked someone to take out mahjong and started playing with a few people.
Because Minglan was not feeling well, Zhang Guifen asked someone to take her to rest.
Four people left is just right.
I have to say, mahjong is something magical.
Plus, it's really boring in the deep palace, and it's a very good way to kill time.
After Zhao Xing taught her mahjong, she quickly fell in love with it.
