Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 151 Aunt Fanghua

Funing Hall.

"Grandfather, this selection is hard to predict. No one can guess what the result will be. Some things need to be prepared for. Let's do our homework in advance. If it really comes... when that day comes, we will not be powerless to fight back in the harem." After breakfast, Huang Ye talked about business with the old grandfather.

"Ye'er, don't you know medicine? Let's pretend to be sick and not go to the harem." Chen was too lazy to take care of the household chores these past two days. All she could think about was that her daughter had entered the palace and been harmed by someone. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

Huang Ye also thought about this: "Mother, let's not talk about the fact that the imperial physician came to our house to check. Let's just say that our Huang family has been loyal to the country for generations. If I am convicted of deceiving the emperor because of me, then Ye'er will no longer be your precious treasure, but the eternal sinner of the Huang family."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, if one committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, the whole family would be exiled at the least, and beheaded at the worst. Since she came to this dynasty, she could feel the true kindness of this family to her. Even if she could not repay them, she could not bring disaster to them.

The old lady stood up and said, "I will go to the small Buddhist temple to pray to the Buddha. Last time your second brother got into trouble, I felt that it was the Buddha who showed his power. Maybe it will work this time too."

Huang Ye pulled her grandmother to sit down with a smile: "I just want to ask you, do you know any reliable people in the palace, or old acquaintances, I also thought that maybe I could use them in the future."

Huang Ye had watched so many palace fighting dramas in his previous life, and he knew that having someone close to him in the palace would be a huge help, and it could even save his life.

The old master and the old lady looked at each other. Their family had not had a girl for so many years, and had no connection with the palace for any money. Where could they find someone with connections at this time? If there was anyone with connections to the palace, it would depend on Chen.

"I used to have a friend who grew up with me. She was a concubine in the palace. Unfortunately, I heard that she died of an emergency illness not long ago." Chen said weakly.

"You are talking about Concubine Yi." The old man's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I saved her personal maid in the palace. She was called Xiaofang before she entered the palace. Later, she became a senior maid. I think her name was Aunt Fanghua... My family and Yi Baoer's family used to be neighbors."

It turned out that Chen's family and Yi Baoer's family were neighbors living next door to each other, and the two families were good friends, so the two girls grew up together and naturally became the best of friends.

Yi Baoer is pretty and has a good personality. She has a dough-like temper, but she was chosen in the beauty pageant that year and entered the palace. Her mother fainted from crying, saying that with her daughter's temper, how could she survive in the palace.

On the New Year's Eve of the year that Yi Baoer entered the palace, Chen was barely qualified to attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet because of her father's promotion. She took the opportunity to go out for some fresh air and found out that Yi Baoer's residence was not far away, so she took Baozhu to find out how she was doing in the palace.

When the two were almost at the edge of a small lotus pond, they saw from afar several palace maids beating a younger palace maid. Before they could get closer, the younger palace maid was thrown into the lotus pond. The other palace maids also scattered when they saw someone coming.

Baozhu noticed that the little palace maid struggling in the lotus pond was Xiaofang. The two of them hurriedly found a wooden stick supporting a flower tree nearby and asked Xiaofang, who was already a little confused from the cold, to hold on to it. They then dragged her up and sent her to the palace where Yi Baoer lived.

The matter was simple. There was a beauty who entered the palace with Yi Baoer. She was jealous of Yi Baoer because she was favored by the late emperor as soon as she entered the palace. Relying on her good family background and higher rank than Yi Baoer, she often bullied her. Even the people in her palace were bullied by the beauty's servants.

Chen did not dare to delay too long after sending Xiaofang over. She just told her about this matter and asked her to think about it carefully. If she continued to be so weak, she was lucky that she encountered it this time. What about next time? If Xiaofang, whom she brought with her, was gone, how long could she survive in this palace where she had no relatives?

Maybe it was her words that woke Yi Baoer up. I heard that later the beauty was banished to the cold palace for murdering her. She gradually established herself in the palace and gave birth to a princess, who got married last year. She lived alone in the palace and was quite free and easy. Unexpectedly, she fell ill a few days ago.

"If Baoer were still alive, based on our previous friendship, perhaps he could take care of us." Chen sighed.

"No." The old man turned the iron walnuts in his hand vigorously. Over the years, he had polished these two walnuts until they were shiny and smooth. Except for eating and sleeping, he usually did not let go of them easily. The faster the walnuts turned, the more important the things he was thinking about were.

"Everyone says that Concubine Yi established herself, but those who know the inside story know that it was because she had a capable Aunt Fanghua by her side. She was able to successfully give birth to a princess and ascend to the position of consort. This Aunt Fanghua played an indispensable role."

"Now that the old Concubine Yi has passed away, the servants who served her will be sent back to the Imperial Household Department. There will be more room for maneuver." He felt that their children were blessed. Now, the opportunity had come.

"In the future... I'll feel more at ease with Xiaofang by Ye'er's side. If you need me to show up, I can go and see Xiaofang." For the sake of her children, she was willing to do anything Chen asked her to do.

"Mom." Huang Ye walked to her mother and hugged her with emotion: "Things are not that bad yet. This is just our last resort. You don't have to worry too much."
