The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

After stumbled several times in succession, it was absolutely impossible for Han Ling to continue to be careless.

On the first night of the Qixi Festival, Han Ling issued an order that all the concubines in the East and West Six Palaces, the head of the Punishment Department, the eunuch Dali in the Respect Room, all the female officials in the Shangnei Bureau, and all the leading palaces in each palace gathered in Yikun Palace to listen to the teachings of the Empress of the Central Palace. enjoin.

Everyone couldn't help muttering: Which song did the queen sing?

Concubine Ling also held the position of "interior bureau and palace" before being entrusted to the Jin Dynasty. On the way home from the southern tour, Han Ling asked her to be dismissed from the position of imperial concubine Ling on the grounds that "the noble concubine also serves as a female official, which hurts the prince's dignity". Unable to respond, so the power of the four stills is still under the control of Jingren Palace.

Cheng Shuang led Shang Fu, Shang Shan, Shang Sleeping, and Shang Yi to check the number of people, and replied to Han Ling: "Master, everyone is here."

Han Ling stood up and said, "I won't babble, from the noble concubine down to the nobleman Shun, follow me for a hard trip, everyone else is waiting here, without me, whoever dares to go out without me will immediately turn it over to the Department of Punishment for interrogation , have you all remembered?"

Everyone dared not answer: "Concubines (concubines, slaves, slaves) respectfully obey the orders of the master and empress."

"Let's go now!" Han Ling raised her hand and helped Zhang Lei to walk ahead. Behind her were Concubine Ling, Concubine Fourth, Concubine Four, Nobleman Shun, and four female officials who led the group. Even Concubine Yu and Concubine Wan Feeling puzzled: Which song is this sung?

Han Ling didn't hide it either, and she revealed the answer as soon as she walked out of Yikun Palace: "I want all the palaces to check to see if there are any prohibited items in the harem. Keep your eyes open and your ears open to listen, if I don’t ask questions, just keep your mouth shut.”

All the concubines were taken aback, and the noble concubine hurriedly said: "My lord, you are so good, why did you search the harem?"

"Pretty good?" Han Ling snorted, "I'm not surprised that other people say this, but if I hear a good word from you, I should really feel chilled for the emperor!"

The imperial concubine was at a loss for words: the emperor was stabbed into the water by concubine Rong with a poisonous hairpin. Based on this inference, there is really no refutation of the queen's position.

Han Ling took advantage of the situation and said: "You are a noble concubine, you should set an example and set an example first, let's start with Changchun Palace!"

"Master, please be careful!" Of course the noble concubine could not agree, "Changchun Palace used to be the former residence of Empress Xiaojing, please take care of the dignity of the third and fourth princesses, and don't let Empress Xiaojing under the nine springs find it hard to be at peace."

Concubine Ying smiled and said: "Imperial Concubine Ling, Empress Xiaojing has been gone for more than 20 years. From your point of view, is it possible that the Changchun Palace should blame Empress Xiaojing for finding out what went wrong?"

The concubine Ling had no choice but to plead guilty: "The concubine dare not!"

"Concubine Ling, you can't be suspicious, not to mention Concubine Yu, Concubine Wan and other old people in the hidden mansion, even you and Concubine Shu have served the Lord Long Live for more than 20 years, right? Can I still have suspicions about you? "Han Ling paused, "I told you to follow, not to take your stolen goods, keep your eyes wide open, and promise to change those court ladies, eunuchs, Chang Zai who are at odds with their clansmen and family members, and who are at odds with their families." Be more careful, if something goes wrong, decades of face will be lost!"

Concubine Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey!"

Those who come are not kind and those who come don't come, Han Ling speaks politely, four masters and four palms know whose job he is holding, and they are gearing up to turn all the halls of Changchun Palace upside down, medicine hairpins, poisonous hairpins It is impossible to appear. In the imperial concubine's side hall, apart from the needlework made by herself, there are more than dozens of Buddhist scriptures chasing after Empress Xiaojing.

"Master!" Cheng Shuang showed the confiscated letter to Han Ling for inspection, "The servant girl confiscated two pairs of clothes, shoes and socks from the Jinyu and Mingxi rooms, as well as a few purses and embroidered handkerchiefs, all of which are not like those used by women. Please take a look at the master and all the empresses!"

Han Ling casually picked up a piece of paper and read it twice, because she asked Concubine Ling, "Whose property is this?"

Jin Yu hurriedly knelt down: "This servant is guilty, please punish the empress and imperial concubine!"

"Who made it for? The bodyguard's? Elder brother's? Or the emperor's?" Han Ling raised her eyebrows, "Huh?"

Jinyu dared not speak a word.

Han Ling was about to read the letter carefully, when Concubine Ying, who was flipping through it with her boots, suddenly said, "My lord, there is a small word 'from' embroidered on it."

"Concubine Ling!" Han Ling narrowed her eyes, "If she doesn't understand, you can explain to the sisters!"

The imperial concubine Ling bit her lips: "My lord asked me, you still haven't reported it truthfully!"

Jinyu had no choice but to reply honestly: "This is what the servants did for the chief executive of the Qianqing Palace—"

"Director Gao?" Han Ling nodded, "Is it Gao Yuncong?"

Jinyu Weiwei agreed: "Yes!"

Han Ling stared straight at Jin Yu: "I'm listening!"

With the physical evidence in his hands, Jinyu didn't dare to quibble, so she could only reply truthfully to Han Ling: "My servant was bullied after entering the palace, and was taken care of by Manager Gao several times. The stewards have formed a pair in private, and they call each other brothers and sisters, which also means comforting each other and chatting with each other—"

Han Ling lowered her eyes: "What do you say!"

Concubine Ling took the lead to plead guilty: "I only blame my concubine's incompetence in discipline, and such an unruly thing happened under my nose."

Concubine Yu couldn't figure out Hanling's way, so she thought for a while and said: "The family law of the ancestors, eunuchs marry wives, have a staff of eighty, and are expelled from the palace. If you dare to give and receive or pass on information privately, once it is verified, you will be killed with a rod."

Concubine Wan slightly added: "This is the palace rule deliberately left by Lord Shunzhi after he learned the lesson of Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Fengsheng's collusion in the last years of the Ming Dynasty!"

Concubine Ying curled her lips: "They all colluded with Lord Long Live, this is the capital crime among capital crimes!"

"The principle of law is nothing more than human feelings. Most of the people in the palace have food for the sake of having fun and reporting to the group to keep warm. There is such a thing in the Changchun Palace, and the Yanxi Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and Jingren Palace may not be clean. The emperor every time It is often said, 'If you are not stupid or deaf, you will not be a family member'. This is in the past, as long as there is no sign of disaster, I would rather turn a blind eye and close one eye." Han Ling stared, "Take Already!"

The noble concubine hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord——"

Han Ling ordered: "Go to Xianfu Palace!"

Concubine Wan can be a model for the hostesses, and the next stop is Qixiang Palace, Concubine Yu’s. Si Shang searched for many iron sticks in surprise, and Concubine Ying took the initiative to clarify: “These things are also found in the palace of concubines— — for kebabs."

Han Ling nodded: "Put it away first, and then make a fuss after checking!"

Turned the road into Concubine Xin's Yongshou Palace, and copied many useful things from the eunuch and maid's servants, it was obvious that he was familiar with the way of smuggling out of the palace, pawning and selling stolen goods, and the person who led the way was Eight The princess' wet nurse, Han Ling was furious: "You bastard slave, do you think I'm dead? How dare you under the emperor's nose (the Yongshou Palace is next to the Qianqing Palace, and it's the closest palace to the emperor among the West Six Palaces)! "

The wet nurse was so frightened that she kept kowtowing: "Damn the slave! The slave is convicted! I beg the empress, for the sake of the slave's loyalty, go around the slave for a while!"

"Loyalty?" Han Ling was furious, "Who are you loyal to? Concubine Xin? My Palace? Or the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"

The wet nurse is left to kowtow: "The slave will never dare again!"

"During the reign of the Holy Patriarch Kangxi, there was an old story of a wet nurse treating Shiwu Gege poorly. You see, the emperor imitated the Holy Patriarch Kangxi in everything, so he should make up for his regrets?" Han Ling thumped the armchair fiercely, "Come on , take me to Qianqing Palace, and let the emperor personally send her down!"

Concubine Yu hurriedly reminded Han Ling: "My lord, it's time for Long Live Lord to rest!"

"My own daughter teaches slaves to bully me, so can our Long Live Lord still sleep?" Han Ling scolded, "Where's Yong Xi? As an older brother, is this how he takes care of his parents?"

Concubine Xin hurriedly interceded: "Master, it was my concubine's negligence. Prince Zong and Fujin have always been close to their sisters, no one could have expected this slave to be so bold, even Ge Ge dared to treat her poorly!"

Han Ling's anger remained undiminished: "Go to Chuxiu Palace!"

Chuxiu Palace was the former residence of Concubine Rong, and the four female officials searched the whole hall in a posture of prying the floor tiles. Except for Concubine Ying's dagger and iron pick, they only found a few ink portraits of young children.

Han Ling sighed endlessly: "Go to Zhongcui Palace!"

There was also bribery in Zhongcui Palace, Han Ling just took a look, took the stolen goods, and came to Chengqian Palace again.

Chengqian Palace was obviously much more lively, not only Yongxuan's things were found from the palace room, but also a lot of clothes, shoes and purses made of silk and satin were found inside, Han Ling's face turned pale: "Concubine Shu, Concubine Xin is submissive , Hefang is Gege again, it is my dereliction of duty that they were wronged, could it be that even Yongxuan-you are from a family background, are you showing your sharp insights to outsiders?"

Concubine Shu herself was dumbfounded, she rushed forward and slapped Jiu Ge, the court lady in charge: "You bastard slave, how have I ever treated you badly!"

Jiu Ge cried: "Master Mingjian, these are all given to the slaves by Brother Ten."

Concubine Yu then came to remind Han Ling: "My lord, you are so angry. This girl may not be as old as Yongxuan, and it's not her turn to treat the prince harshly!"

"Huh?" Han Ling calmed down, "Are these things made for Yong Xun?"

Jiuge just cried.

All the concubines snickered: Elder Brother Shi really deserves his reputation!

Han Ling rubbed her forehead: "Go to Yanxi Palace."

Yanxi Palace had the problem of secret communication between the maids and the guards. The Yonghe Palace was the same as the Changchun Palace. There was a problem of private marriage between the palace people and food. Han Ling did not deal with it immediately. and go.

Having met two unlucky masters in succession, anyone in Jingyang Palace would feel unlucky. Han Ling looked at Concubine Ji with admiration, because she said to Concubine Yu and Concubine Qing, "You are not as good as a child!"

Concubine Yu and Concubine Qing shamelessly confessed: "The master taught me the lesson!"

Cheng Shuang took a look and said to Hanling: "Master, Director Li is here!"

Li Yu came forward to salute and then passed on the oracle: "Long Live God's will, the eighth princess's wet nurse and family will be sent to Ninggu Pagoda to serve, and they will not be pardoned! If there is such a thing again, please punish it by yourself!"

"Understood!" Han Ling took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, "The people who teach Yikun Palace should leave, and gather at Jingren Palace tomorrow, I will care about it myself!"

Everyone blessedly promised: "I will obey the order of the master and the empress!"
