[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem

Not surprisingly, Yimin was the first one to get the news from this harem.

To be honest, she was stunned by Zhuo Yuan's coquettish operation.

"You mean, you promoted all the concubines in the palace?" Yimin asked repeatedly.

Zhuo Yuan patiently explained to her: "It's not all. For example, Lin Jiachang Zai, Zhang Promise... Those who have made mistakes or angered the emperor, naturally I will not add their names."

Looking at the list in her hand that included eight tenths of her colleagues in the harem, Yi Min thought, "Almost all of them!"

"You want people to occupy all the high places in the palace?"

Zhuo Yuan didn't deny it, she nodded, "Most of the concubines in the palace have been with each other for many years, and they can be regarded as knowing the bottom line, which is better than the newcomers who will be drafted later."

"Is the draft going to be reopened?" Yimin was a little surprised, it was different from what she had expected, it was only 16 years of Kangxi, and she remembered that the next draft would be 22 years of Kangxi.

"Well," Zhuo Yuan said: "It should be next year. The Empress Dowager originally wanted to hold one this year, but the emperor refused."

"Is that so?" Yi Min was thoughtful, tangling for a moment and then forgetting about it.

The situation in the harem changed as early as the 11th year of Kangxi's first seal of the harem, and it is understandable that a series of changes have been drawn from it. She thought heartlessly: even she has become a noble concubine from the concubine she envisioned from the beginning What's more, let alone a draft?

Trifle!

Seeing her relaxed face, Zhuo Yuan smiled slightly.

What she didn't tell Yimin is: this is also her test to the emperor, to test whether the other party will hand over all the control of the harem to her.

A queen with real power and stable status is qualified to raise or lower concubines on her own. Even the emperor cannot dismiss it at will. Theoretically speaking, the queen is the leader of the harem The lord, only in the right of the harem, should be better than the emperor.

But since ancient times, there are really few queens who can do this.

Zhuo Yuan lowered her eyes—fortunately, so far, the emperor has no intention of restricting her power in the harem.

"Then when do you plan to send out the edict?" Yi Min asked.

"Wait for two days, first let the Ministry of Internal Affairs rush out the gold books of imperial concubines, concubines, and concubines, as well as the titles and palaces to choose carefully..."

Saying this, Zhuo Yuan suddenly remembered the last small election, when his friend was very excited when he arranged the palace ladies and palaces, he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you decide the title and palace?"

"Ah?" Yimin was stunned for a moment, a little moved, but hesitantly said: "Is it possible?"

Zhuo Yuan smiled and took her hand, and the two sat down at the desk together, and put the roster in front of her, "There is nothing wrong with it, and it's not a big deal, you can decide it according to your preferences, even if there is something wrong , isn’t there me?”

In the end, Yi Min couldn't control her eager paws, picked up a pen, and sat down at the table to annotate.

then……

She got stuck on the first point.

Blinking her eyes, she tilted her head and asked, "A Yuan, should it be time for Concubine Tong to draw up a title?"

If she is promoted to Concubine Concubine, Yimin will of course continue the title of 'Wen' and be called 'Concubine Wen', but in this way, Concubine Tong who does not have a title will suffer a bit.

This is different from the previous concubine concubine. Concubine Tong was the first concubine. Although she did not have a title, she was also the first concubine. Although Yimin was the concubine who was conferred later, she has a title. Overall, The two should be of equal status.

This time it was the Great Sealing of the Harem, so naturally there was no such thing as first come first served, so if Concubine Tong didn't draw up a title, it would be a bit condescending. I think she would be unhappy with Concubine Tong's temperament that likes to be angry.

Yimin herself doesn't care much about this point, as both concubines, what's the point of who is higher and who is lower?Don't you do the same job and get the same salary?

But from the perspective of other people in the harem, including Concubine Tong, this is a matter of decent status, and it is worth fighting for and caring about.

Therefore, what she said was her desire to choose a title for Concubine Tong. After all... it is really not worth creating a gap with Concubine Tong for this matter.

Glancing at her, Zhuo Yuan smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Nodding her head, Yimin carefully wrote down two lines on the blank booklet: Concubine Tong was promoted to Concubine Yi, Concubine Wen was promoted to Concubine Wen.

"Yi?" Zhuo Yuan was a little surprised.

Yi means beautiful, and it mostly refers to women with outstanding virtues. It is really the highest level of title, and there is only the four characters that can be compared with it: virtuous and virtuous.

In her opinion, the evaluation represented by this title is a bit too high.But she didn't object, but said with a smile: "This title is indeed worthy of Concubine Tong."

Just like Concubine Tong doesn't admit it, but she actually admires Zhuo Yuan's scheming in her heart. Although Zhuo Yuan didn't say it, she has a good impression of Concubine Tong and is willing to give her a face.

Yimin said happily: "I just think this title is the most suitable for her, I don't like anything else."

Empress Xiaoyiren, there is no one more worthy of this word than her!

After finishing the title of Concubine Tong, the next few steps will be much easier.

Concubine Hui was promoted to Concubine Hui.Concubine Rong was promoted to Concubine Rong.

Concubine An was promoted to Concubine An.Jingpin was promoted to Jingfei.

When writing the last two, Yi Min felt very emotional, the word "timing" is really mysterious, it won't work if it's too early, and it won't work if it's too late. This time I finally caught up with the time and was able to break the game.

——Hope you have better days in the future.

Lady Yigui was promoted to Concubine Yi, Lady Hesheli was promoted to Concubine Xi, Lady Dai Jia was promoted to Concubine Cheng, Lady Nala was promoted to Concubine Tong, and Concubine Borzigit was promoted to Concubine Xuan.

Titles flowed out of Yi Min's pen one by one, and Yi Min plagiarized all of them from the history books in a lazy manner, until she wrote about Zhao Jia's constant presence, and then paused for a moment.

Then he smiled, raised his pen and wrote: Zhao Jia was often a concubine in Jin Dynasty.

After writing these two words, Yimin felt the last trace of weight on her body pouring out along with the pen and ink, and she relaxed wholeheartedly.

- everything is different!

It's great that the future can be mastered and changed.

As soon as I was in a good mood, some of the regulars agreed to be sealed more generously. Four or five nobles were mentioned, and a dozen of them were regulars, and Su promised to go through the back door. The word 'Shun' was used as a title, and from then on, Su promised to be called 'Shun Chang Zai'.

She wrote '唰唰唰唰', almost without a pause, and sealed all kinds of free money. Anyway, she was not paid by her, so she was treated as the wool of the feudal dynasty.

Until I turned to the last page, it belonged to a few, oh no more than a dozen official women from the Qianqing Palace.

Yimin even specially counted them, there are nineteen in total, one less than twenty.

She looked at the names of Wu Yashi and Zhang Jiashi inside, looked up at Zhuo Yuan and said with a smile: "Why don't you agree to all these things?"

The concubine concubine and the concubine promised are actually not much different, but the first rank of the official is overwhelming. After all, she also came up from the concubine concubine. Although she can't experience it personally, she has seen the hardships. Now the pen is in her hands , I can't help but give more.

Zhuo Yuan glanced at it, "It's up to you, if you seal it up, let's seal it up," it's not a big deal.

"Mmm," Yi Min wrote down this copy as well.

The arrangement of the palace is a little more complicated.

"According to the Emperor's wishes, Concubine Yi, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Xuan are divided into the main hall, so Concubine Cheng, Concubine Tong, and Concubine Qian can only occupy the side hall."

Zhuo Yuan nodded, "Concubine Qian lived in your Yongshou Palace before, and I will continue to live in it later, and the same is true for Concubine Cheng, but it is the same for Concubine Tong." She thought for a while and said, "I will arrange to go to Concubine Yi's Chu Xiu palace."

Yimin went on to say: "The rest of the nobles always have palaces, so there is no need to make more arrangements, but the newly promoted nineteen promised to always share some in each palace."

There are really too many people here, in the East and West Twelve Palaces there is the palace of the main empress, no one can escape, there must be one or two newcomers.

Zhuo Yuan: "You pick first." You can't avoid it anyway, so it's better to pick two that you think are pleasing to the eye.

Yimin's pen tip slid across the roster, passed Wuya promised, Zhang Jia promised, Wanliuha agreed...and landed on the head of a person surnamed Lin, promised to draw a circle lightly, and wrote "Yongshou" next to it. Palace' three characters.

Although she appreciates Wu Ya's promise, she still feels that beautiful people and things are only suitable for viewing from a distance, and if they are too close, the beauty will be destroyed.

In human terms, Ye Gong loves dragons, it's okay to look at them, but absolutely not to live together!

……

As soon as the Ministry of Internal Affairs started to create the golden book court clothes, many concubines heard the news.When I came to Chengqian Palace to pay my respects, I also inquired overtly and secretly.

In an anxious and tense atmosphere, October came quietly.

In the 16th year of Kangxi, on the first day of October, the weather was slightly cool in the morning.

A series of twelve edicts were issued from Chengqian Palace, and sent to various palaces in the harem, and then dozens of edicts and oral instructions were conveyed.

The size of the handwriting, the wide range of canonization, and the number of high-ranking concubines, shocked all the concubines in the harem and the families, clans, and former dynasties behind them.

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Rong took Yi's decree in a daze, feeling that it was heavy and unreal, and even forgot the reward for the eunuch who delivered the decree. It was Yunshuang, the eldest palace maid beside her, who was smart and hurriedly wrapped the red envelope, politely Send people away.

When she came back and saw that her mother was still in a daze, Yunshuang was both happy and helpless, she approached and called softly: "My lady, my lady..."

Concubine Rong came to her senses in shock, she looked at Yunshuang, raised the imperial decree in her hand, "Is this palace a concubine?"

Yunshuang nodded repeatedly.

Concubine Rong's dizzy face gradually burst into a big smile, she took a deep breath, and repeated with some trembling: "I am a concubine, I am a concubine..."

She entered the palace in the same batch as Empress Renxiao. She lived in the harem for 12 years and was a concubine for six years.

Now, she finally felt that she was overwhelmed, she thought: it must be Chengrui, Sai Yinchahun and the others who love her and protect her in heaven.

Her eyes gradually became moist, and she kept murmuring: "Okay, okay, that's great..."

Yunshuang's eyes were also red, but she held back her tears and smiled very happily, "Madam, the father-in-law who just sent the letter said that today is very happy, the empress concubine grants you permission to meet the third elder brother at the South Third Institute."

"Really?" Concubine Rong showed excitement. Since the full moon, the third elder brother who was named 'Yinzhi' by the emperor has been carried to the South Third Institute. As the mother-in-law, she can only see her once every five days. I have long forgotten about it.

"Yeah," Yun Shuang kept nodding, "Madam, let's go there quickly, according to what the nurses said, at this point, Brother San should wake up."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, and I can spend a little more time with Yinzhi," Concubine Rong didn't care about Concubine Feng's excitement anymore, she only wanted to see her son.

From her point of view, Yinzhi is her little lucky star, who earned glory for Er Niang from birth, so he must be deeply blessed.

——Children, if you really have spirits in heaven, please bless your brother to grow up safely, and don't let God take away another child from Erniang.

……

Yonghe Palace.

Different from other people's excitement, nobleman Hesheli had already received news from the queen.

At this moment, although she couldn't control her smile, she was barely in a calm mood, and she was still in the mood to exchange greetings with the father-in-law who delivered the decree.

"Please thank Empress Empress for your kindness on behalf of Ben Gong." She accepted her new identity very quickly. Although she hadn't performed the canonization ceremony, she had already been well substituted into the identity of Xi Concubine.

The eunuchs who delivered the decree were all reused in Chengqian Palace, and before they came to deliver the decree, they all received more or less instructions.

The eunuch delivering the decree was the one who had received special instructions. He bent down and cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Miss Xi, don't do this. Before the servant came to deliver the decree, the Empress specially ordered the servant to bring you a message."

The smile on Xi Concubine's face faded a bit, but she still asked calmly, "I don't know what the empress said?"

The father-in-law looked at the ground and lowered his voice: "The empress said that the deal between her and you ends here, and she said that you are a smart person, so you should understand."

Concubine Xi lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Please tell my father-in-law to tell the Empress that the concubine understands. The concubine is very grateful for the empress's trust, and naturally she will not do anything that should not be done."

After sending the messenger away, Xi Concubine brought her confidants back to the house, closed her eyes and meditated.

After a while, the court lady Qiyue said in a low voice: "The queen empress means that she does not accept our surrender?"

Concubine Xi slowly opened her eyes and gave a soft 'hmm'.

Qiyue suddenly became a little anxious, "What should I do, the previous incident has offended the clan, and I haven't received a letter from the clan in the past few months..."

"So what!" Xi Concubine raised her voice to overwhelm hers.

She sneered and said, "Before Empress Renxiao died, didn't we have no connections or support at all? Didn't we all come here? Now that I have become a concubine, naturally there is only reason to live a better life!"

"The thing I don't regret the most is cooperating with the empress!" Her eyes were sharp, and her tone was filled with depression and madness.

Using Hershey's manpower list to exchange a guarantee and a concubine with the queen who is still an imperial concubine is the most correct, happiest, and most cost-effective transaction she has done in her life!

She has resentment towards the Hesheli family and Queen Renxiao in her heart.

The daughters of the same clan, one is the eldest daughter of the direct branch, and the other is the eldest daughter of the side branch, the difference of one letter, but the fate is worlds apart.

One is the original concubine concubine who is being married by the Ming media, and she has won the love of the emperor and the full support of the family.

She had hoped that Empress Renxiao would take care of her and promote her because of her family's affection, but in order to show her virtuousness, Empress Renxiao always treated her harem equally, and did not treat her differently just because she was of the same clan and surname.

She had hoped that the family would give her a sliver of support so that she could live a more stable life in the harem, but the family didn't even give her a glimpse.

Later, Queen Renxiao died, and the family quickly arranged for someone to contact her.

She was very happy at the time, and felt that she had finally paid off her hardships. During that time, she followed the family's instructions carefully and tried her best to protect the prince and maintain the contacts left by Empress Renxiao.

But it didn't take long for her to learn that Empress Renxiao had a biological sister who was just young and beautiful. She never showed any intention of getting married, and she made it clear that she planned to find an opportunity to send her to the palace.

At that time, her whole body was cold and her whole body froze.

If the lady from the direct branch enters the palace, everything she owns now will be annihilated, the support of the family, the status of the crown prince and aunt... will be replaced one by one.

So, when the Queen sent someone to make a deal with her, she agreed without saying a word.

——It’s not the family that I failed, it’s me that the family used and gave up first!

——If you are unkind first, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!

……

Yikun Palace.

Yipin's idea is much simpler.

After sending away the father-in-law who passed the decree, she read the decree over and over again several times happily.

She didn't feel any panic or excitement at all, she really believed in her heart that she deserved it all.

"Let's go, let's go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit the Empress Dowager." Yi Pin said with high spirits.

Now she is more and more determined to have a good relationship with the queen mother. A concubine is far from satisfying her ambitions. In her heart, at least she should be a concubine.

So what if the position of four concubines is full?What she wants, she will naturally do her best to get it!

……

Speaking of sealing the harem this time, the most unexpected and pleasant surprises were the nineteen official women.

As soon as Yi ordered, several of them cried on the spot.

You know, the best and best result they had envisioned before was to be named concubine concubine, to meet a benevolent empress, and to be assigned a palace. settled.

Now the surprise really came too suddenly, it made people feel like a dream, I was afraid that when I opened my eyes with excitement, I found out that it was a big dream.

Zhang Jiashiyun wrapped Wu Yasiying's arm, and asked erratically, "Sister, what did the father-in-law who delivered the decree just say?"

Wu Yasiying replied with the same erratic voice: "Should... it seems that we were canonized as a promise... right?"

Zhang Jiashiyun: "I seem to have heard that a palace has been assigned to us?"

Wu Yasiying: "I seem to have heard it too."

Zhang Jia's poem rhyme: "I have been assigned to the Xianfu Palace where I respect my concubine and empress."

Wu Yasiying: "I was assigned to the Chuxiu Palace of Concubine Yi."

The two looked at each other and were silent at the same time.

Three seconds later, Zhang Jiashiyun burst into tears, and she turned around anxiously, "What should I do? I don't want to be separated from my sister!"

Pulling her back into the room quickly, Wu Yasiying warned her while wiping her tears: "You can't cry outside, or others will see you and think that you are dissatisfied with the empress' arrangement?"

"But, but I'm really afraid of being separated from my sister..." Zhang Jiashiyun said, suppressing her crying.

To be honest, Wu Yasiying was also a little panicked. Zhang Jiashiyun was used to relying on her, and she was also used to taking care of each other. When she suddenly separated and wanted to go to a new place, both parties were very panicked.

But she still suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and tried to appease Zhang Jiashiyun's emotions, "It's okay, Chuxiu Palace and Xianfu Palace are not far away, sister will visit you often, wait, wait for a while, sister will come again See if I can find a way to let you move to Chuxiu Palace..."

Zhang Jiashiyun sniffed, and said sullenly: "I will visit my sister too, don't worry, sister, I will take good care of myself, and my sister should also take good care of herself..."

……

Compared with them, the atmosphere of Yongshou Palace is much warmer and more cheerful.

With Yimin as an insider, Qianbi and Shunchang got the news early in the morning, they were already excited and excited, and they celebrated in private for several rounds.

We received Yizhi together and congratulated each other a few words.

Such a humble concubine said: "Congratulations to Concubine Wen."

Over there Yi Min said: "Congratulations to Concubine Qian and Shun Chang."

Bring Wu Xiha back, have a meal together with the banquet that has been set in advance, give some rewards to Yongshou Palace, and let everyone have fun together.

But in the end, Yimin reminded Shunchang: "Tomorrow, there is a Lin who promised to live in Yongshou Palace. It is probably the house you lived in before. I don't know her temperament. If you are not easy to get along with, you can come and tell me. , I'll move her to a room farther away from you."

Shunchang was very cheerful today. She had drank several cups of sweet wine before. At this time, she walked around Yimin with a blushing face, stood leaning on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "I am protected by my mother, so I am not afraid of it." What about her!"

Yimin knew that she was drunk when she saw her, so she hurriedly asked to help her back to rest.

Turning back to the concubine Qian, he asked: "You are also the master of the concubine now, do you want to move to the East Palace?"

The East is expensive and the West is rich, so the East Side Hall not only has better configuration and lighting, but also has a higher status than the West Side Hall.

Concubine Qian shook her head with a smile, "No, the concubine is used to living in the Xipei Hall, Wu Xiha also grew up in the Xipei Hall, and the flowers and plants in the yard were planted by the concubine himself, caring and raising them... I really don't like it. Abandon."

Besides, she is now a legitimate concubine, so it doesn't matter where she lives?

Seeing that she was easygoing, Yimin didn't persuade her much. In her private heart, she also thought that living in Xipei Hall would be fine, but moving around would be troublesome.

……

No matter what the people in the harem thought, Zhuo Yuan declared the queen's power and presence with an extremely strong posture.

This is a big award that is almost decided by the empress, and it is also the first time that the concubine in the harem understands so clearly - the empress also has the right to confer the concubine!

——and she is even more generous than the emperor!

For a moment, everyone in the harem seemed to see a new wealth code...

The author has something to say: Today, the editor told me that in the next few days, I should try my best...

So, there is another chapter today
