[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

This time Kangxi didn't procrastinate, and the day after Zhaocai put on new clothes, the imperial decree of the Qianqing Palace came down.

I don't know if it's a bad joke or what, when Liang Jiugong brought the university scholar Tuhai and others to announce the decree, the empresses and concubines were laughing and chatting in Kunning Palace.

When Liang Jiugong and the others came in holding the imperial decree, including the empress, they were stunned.

Fortunately, none of the people present had seen the world, and after a moment of stunnedness, they knelt down to accept the decree and listened nervously to the content of the decree.

Even Yi Min couldn't help pinching her palms.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I have honored the gracious order of the Holy Grandmother, the Empress Dowager, to inherit the noble concubine Niu Kulu of the Qian Palace, who is virtuous, dignified and wise. I hereby confer the title of Zhaojia Noble Concubine, hereby."

"Concubine Tong, with a quiet and gentle appearance, Ke Ling Kerou, canonized as a concubine, and lives in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, hereby."

"Concubine Li is Concubine An, living in the main hall of Changchun Palace, Concubine Ma Jia is Concubine Rong, living in the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Dong is Concubine Wen, living in the main hall of Yongshou Palace..."

"...Concubine Wang Jiashi is the concubine of Jing, living in the main hall of Xianfu Palace, concubine Nala is the concubine of Hui, living in the main hall of Yanxi Palace..."

While her heart was beating violently, Yi Min only had time to capture two sentences: "Conferred the title of Concubine Zhaojia" and "Concubine Dong as Concubine Wen".

Zhuo Yuan would become a double-character imperial concubine, which Yimin had never expected before. She originally thought that Kangxi would only add one title at most.

The imperial concubine and imperial concubine titles in the Qing Dynasty were all incremented by one, two, and three characters. The longer the title, the more noble it was. Even if Kangxi conferred another imperial concubine later, it would not surpass Zhuo Yuan's status.

As for herself, when she heard that it was "Concubine Wen" instead of "Concubine Duan" as she thought before, Yimin was really stunned, but she quickly remembered: Before going to Tangquan, in the study of Chengqian Palace, Zhuo Yuan once Ask her which word she likes.

At that time she chose the word 'Wen'.

He bowed his head and couldn't help laughing, this should be the surprise that Zhuo Yuan said.

——I don’t know how she operates?

In just one stick of incense, the mentality of everyone in the hall of Kunning Palace changed drastically. Naturally, they were overjoyed when they were granted the title. unbelievable.

For example, Guo Luoluo Lanjin, she was named Yigui, although she was the only one among all the nobles who had a title, but she didn't feel happy at all.

Originally, she thought that she could at least get a concubine, but it turned out to be just a nobleman!

Why?Obviously she was ranked behind her when she entered the palace at the same time, and Dong Yimin, who was not as loving and temperamental as her, was the third concubine!Why did she only have the status of a nobleman!

You must know that when Guo Luoluo Lanjin entered the palace, she had the same status as Yimin. For her, the status of this noble person is not only not a grace, but even a demotion instead of a promotion!

The worst concubine present was the concubine Borzigit, Kangxi ignored her directly, without her as a concubine, without her as a concubine, without her as a nobleman, Chang Zai, and promised.

Even concubine Su Shu got a promised position at the end, but the empress dowager's grandniece didn't get a hair.

But compared to Guo Luoluo Lanjin's burst of mentality, Borzigit's concubine was just stunned for a moment, then stood aside with a normal face, and concubine who was in a good mood and had a good relationship with her surroundings said congratulations.

She has always been open-minded and self-aware, knowing that she doesn't like the emperor, so she doesn't force it. Anyway, she enjoys the position of concubine, and is protected by the empress dowager and empress dowager, even the empress dare not look down on her.

The emperor's opinion is not that important to her.

……

Liang Jiugong and several college students left after announcing the imperial decree. After all, foreign men cannot stay in the court for long.

Most of the concubines who stayed in place held the imperial decree in their arms, flipping through it back and forth, either happy or sad, and the various states of life were fully revealed at the moment.

"Okay, the canonization ceremony will be held next month, everyone, please be excited..." Apart from the initial surprise, the queen showed no surprise during the whole process, which showed that Kangxi had already greeted her.

After an imperial decree, the seats in the hall changed drastically. Everyone tacitly and eagerly waited, and each consciously found a new seat according to the ranking in the imperial decree.

The queen smiled understandingly.

She raised her hand and ordered the attendants to remove the tea and snacks from each coffee table and replace them with new ones.

Full of joy, Yi Min sat down on the right hand side of the former concubine Li Shu and now Concubine An. Opposite her were Concubine Tong and Concubine Jing, only one seat away from Zhuo Yuan.

Smiling at Zhuo Yuan across the seat of Concubine An, Yimin picked up the newly served tea, covered the corners of her lips that could not stop rising, and took a look in the room, and there were quite a few people around who moved like her .

Occasionally, when we meet other people's eyes, no matter whether there is grievance or not, we will smile congratulatoryly at each other. Under the great joy, it is not impossible to smile away all grievances and enmity.

Of course, this is because Yimin has a seat, and she is surrounded by newly-appointed concubines and concubines, so she is naturally beaming, if she takes a second look at the back seat, the feedback she gets will be quite different.

When everyone calmed down a bit, the queen broke out another news: the emperor is going to make a decree to really set the rank of the harem.

Although it was originally divided according to queen, imperial concubine, noble concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, Chang Zai, promise, and concubine concubine.

But that was just a theory, and when the palace is full of concubines, these are just empty talk, but now it is a clear decree, and it can no longer be changed.

"...And what the emperor means is that in the future, there can only be two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed except for Yimin, even Concubine Tong and several concubines, who were originally happy, also received some joy.

Yimin knew that Kangxi later ate back his words, and conferring concubines and concubines in the later period was the same as doing wholesale, so she didn't care much.

But others don't know!

After this regulation, the position of imperial concubine will not be mentioned. There are still three vacancies for the position of concubine. After five concubines are sealed, there is only one left. This makes those "motivated" concubines nervous all of a sudden.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. The previous harmonious atmosphere was covered with a layer of haze.

It's like everyone used to be colleagues in the same office, and they were happy with each other, but suddenly someone told you that there is a vacancy for an executive position, and whoever has the ability will take it.

Even if you say you don't want it, someone has to believe in you. Who would gamble with a colleague's reputation with their future?

What's more, the harem dispute is much more important than a position.

Being in it, Yi Min immediately felt the change, and everyone looked at each other, a trace of doubt and distrust emerged quietly.

Taking a sip of tea, Yimin decided in her heart: It's better to stay at home.

If you can blend less, blend less.

……

After the meeting.

On the imperial concubine's chariot, Zhuo Yuan also said to Yimin: "Try not to meddle in their affairs, what happened before, and what happens afterward."

Yi Min never stopped laughing, and she replied with a smile: "I understand, and you don't know what I am like? I am the most impatient to deal with them."

Seeing her bright smile, Zhuo Yuan also laughed, feeling that he was worrying too much, if possible, this guy can stay in Yongshou Palace for a year without moving, even begging her may not let her go out.

No matter what other people want to do with her, they have to catch her first.

Worrying about her is better than worrying about others.

……

To be honest, Chengqian Palace and Yongshou Palace are located in the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, and they are not on the same road, but Zhuo Yuan just doesn't care, and takes a detour every time, sending Yi Min back to Yongshou Palace before returning to Chengqian palace.

Therefore, the time when Yimin returned to Yongshou Palace was faster than the news spread, and Qingmei and others didn't know what happened in Kunning Palace.

The excitement that Yimin and Luliu had piled up along the way burst out after seeing someone they knew well.

She couldn't remember sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, Yimin took Qingmei's hand, "Qingmei...I'm concubine, Wenfei!"

When she said the last two words, Yi Min even trembled a little, and she repeated again: "I was named Concubine Wen!"

She has her own title and her own palace, and she can let her sister-in-law enter the palace to see her during the canonization ceremony.

She felt that Qingmei must understand her!

Qingmei did understand, she pinched herself first, then glanced at Luliu, her eyes started to turn red after receiving a sure reply, "Soon, the young master will be able to see the eldest lady..."

"Yeah, I'm going to see my sister-in-law soon. I thought I'd have to wait for many years, but I didn't expect to see her so soon." Yi Min also began to gather tears in her eyes.

At this time, Luliu had already described the scene with Xiao Linzi and the others, turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you still crying when you are so happy? And Sister Qingmei, you can't be called the young master anymore, From now on, we will all have to be called empresses!"

Concubines and above can be called empresses, and they can also call themselves my palace.

A few words made Qingmei smile through tears, and finally cheered up, "Yes, from now on I have to be called Empress, Concubine Wen!"

Xiao Linzi and the others also came together to call her empress.I was so embarrassed to call Yimin.

She pretended to be displeased, "The canonization ceremony hasn't been done yet, don't change your mind in a hurry, you guys will know how to cheat my red envelope!" Halfway through the words, she laughed herself.

After a few more laughs, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Concubine Su Shu about her, so he ordered: "Xiao Linzi, go and tell Arong, she has also been granted the throne."

Xiao Linzi immediately took the order, "I would like to obey the order of the concubine Wen," and ran away after finishing speaking.

Everyone was laughing again, and it took a long time before Yimin stopped laughing, coughed lightly and said: "I am happy today, each of you go to get a first-class letter, let's be happy together, and then go to the dining room to clean it up." The table is delicious, let's celebrate in private, and don't let outsiders know."

A first-class seal is a purse of five taels of silver, which is already a great reward, and the regular silver promised for one year is only 20 taels of silver.

Then, including green plums and green willows, everyone thanked in unison: "Thank you, Concubine Wen, for the reward!"

"Qingmei! Why did you follow them to make trouble, and Luliu, weren't you a decent girl before? Why did you learn from them..."

"According to the words of the empress, this is called red when it is close to vermilion, and black when it is close to ink..."
