After picking up a childbirth system, I pampered the harem

The team traveled for another seven days and finally arrived at the summer resort.

This summer resort was built by Emperor Taizu and has a history of two hundred years. It is a very large mountain resort with a palace built in it. Even when the emperor is away, it is guarded, cared for and repaired every day. , so even though two hundred years have passed, the palace does not look dilapidated and is still well preserved.

Mr. Wu, the official responsible for guarding the palace, had already received the news and had been guarding the door early. When he saw the emperor's Luan Jia appearing in his sight, he was immediately excited.

When he stopped at the entrance of the villa, he quickly led everyone behind him to kneel down and kowtow to the most majestic and dignified bright yellow carriage that symbolized the royal family.

"I respectfully welcome the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Welcome your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiaqing got off the carriage, followed by Jiang Wan.

Lord Wu saw the beautiful sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman getting off the carriage with Emperor Jiaqing, and he guessed her identity.

He already knew the list of concubines who came with the emperor. Zhang Zhaoyi had been here several times, so he already knew her appearance. However, he had never seen the woman in front of him, so she should be that one. The concubine Hui who gave birth to the prince for the emperor.

It seemed that the rumors were indeed true. The Empress Hui was so favored that she was able to ride in the same carriage as the Emperor. After all, not even the Empress had ever had such an honor.

Emperor Jiaqing nodded slightly and asked everyone kneeling on the ground to get up.

"Your Majesty, the empresses, and the ministers have been tired from traveling all the way, so they can go and take a rest first. The ministers in the courtyard have already made arrangements. In addition, the ministers asked the chef to prepare a dinner for you all to rest. Now, you can enjoy the fine wine and delicious food." Mr. Wu said respectfully to Emperor Jiaqing.

"Then it will be as per your arrangement." Emperor Jiaqing nodded and said.

The palace built in the Summer Resort is very large, it is simply a miniature version of the palace, and it can fully accommodate all the people accompanying it.

As the emperor, Emperor Jiaqing naturally lived in the main hall, and Jiang Wan, who had the highest status among the accompanying concubines, was assigned to the side hall next to the main hall. As for Zhang Zhaoyi and Liu Xiurong, they were assigned residences as well. Very close to the main hall.

As for the officials and their female relatives, courtyards were allocated according to their status.

Generally, the higher the status and the favored person, the closer the courtyard he is assigned to where Emperor Jiaqing lived, and the better the environment of the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, although this palace is not as magnificent and majestic as the imperial palace, it still looks very majestic and worthy of being a royal garden." Lu'e looked at the side hall where they lived and couldn't help but sigh.

There were four maids who came with Jiang Wan this time, and Lu E was among them.

"It's because of your Majesty's blessing this time, otherwise the slaves would not be able to leave the palace, let alone see so many novel things." Jin Ping was packing his things, and when he heard Lu E's words, he also interjected.

Once a palace maid enters the palace, it will be difficult for her to leave the palace. She will not be released until she reaches the age of twenty-five. However, palace ladies who choose to stay in the palace will not be able to leave the palace again in their lifetime.

For example, Jin Ping and Lu E entered the palace when they were just ten years old. After staying in the palace for so many years, they had never left the palace. They had already known what the world outside the palace was like. Not much memory left.

If they hadn't followed Jiang Wan as their master this time, how could they have followed him out.

Although they followed the team along the way, the sights they saw along the way were novel enough for them.

"When did you enter the palace?" Jiang Wan asked after hearing this.

Jiang Wan really didn't know when Jinping and the other maids entered the palace, but it probably didn't take long.

"This slave entered the palace at the age of ten, and it has been nine years now." Jin Ping said.

"This slave entered the palace two years later than sister Jinping, and entered the palace at the age of eleven." Lu'e also said.

As for the other two palace maids, they each told the time when they entered the palace and the time they stayed in the palace.

The maids selected by the palace are selected once a year, and there are age restrictions. As long as they are between the ages of ten and thirteen, not only that, but the requirements are also very strict.

The body must be sound, the appearance must be upright, and not too ugly, so as not to stain the eyes of the masters in the palace; it must also be examined by the imperial doctor to make sure there are no infectious diseases on the body.

But speaking of it, the draft that Jiang Wan participated in was more rigorous. After all, it was to select women for the emperor.

Hearing that Jinping and the others entered the palace when they were less than thirteen years old, Jiang Wan felt that compared with them, she was quite lucky. After all, she entered the palace when she was seventeen.

And Jinping and the others were already serving people in the palace when they were still so young.

The eldest among them is twenty-one years old, and the youngest is seventeen years old. If they didn't join the palace as maids, they might have already gotten married and maybe have children.

"When you are released from the palace when you are twenty-five years old, I will give you a sum of money." Jiang Wan said.

They are now the people serving her, so she will naturally not treat them badly.

"Your Majesty, you treat your slaves so well, and you have never treated any slaves badly. Your Majesty has already rewarded your slaves so much money. I have saved all that money, so there is no need for your Majesty to spend any more money." Lu'e said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to leave the palace. I have no relatives at home anymore. I would rather stay in the palace to serve you all my life." Jinping expressed his position.

She first entered the palace because her family had an accident and left, leaving her alone. She happened to be looking for a maid in the palace at that time, so she signed up and was lucky enough to be selected into the palace. .

"There's no one who has too much money these days. Besides, those rewards are just rewards. This is the guarantee I give you. If you serve me wholeheartedly, I can't treat you badly." Jiang Wan said to Lu'e. Then he looked at Jinping and said: "How can this woman not get married? She should find a good son-in-law and have a child so that she can rely on her when she gets old."

"This slave doesn't want to get married, but wants to stay with the queen to serve her and share her worries." Jinping heard this, but shook his head and said firmly.

"I think Jin Ping has a clear mind. Who said that a woman must marry? It's okay if she marries a good husband. But if she marries a scumbag, not only will she lose her life and wealth, but she will also lose money." My life is lost." The system agreed with Jinping's idea.

It comes from an era of advanced technology and highly civilized human beings. In that era, there were many people who did not get married. Whether to get married or not was a personal decision, and no one would think it was abnormal.

Jiang Wan had never heard such remarks before. No one had ever told her that women did not need to marry.

Her parents began to look after her after she grew up, and most of the young women in the village did the same.

"Tongtong, I really want to see what kind of magical place the world you live in is." Jiang Wan couldn't help but sigh.

She had also heard a lot about that world from the system, but she couldn't imagine what a beautiful place it was.

But Jiang Wan's words were just casual remarks, and she knew that was impossible.

"Since this is your choice, I will not object, but if you regret it then, I will not say anything." Jiang Wan said to Jinping.

Maybe the system is right. It might be good for Jinping to stay in the palace. She will be twenty-five years old when she leaves the palace. If she gets married, she will probably have to marry a widower and become someone else's stepmother. If It's okay if the other party doesn't have children, but if he does have children, he can only be his stepmother.

It’s hard to be a stepmother, maybe it’s better to stay in the palace.

But no matter what their final choice was, Jiang Wan respected them.
