[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Looking at it from the emperor's point of view, the woman in front of him had red lips, white teeth, and a crystal-clear complexion, which was very pleasing to the eye.However, there was obviously no trace of rouge and powder on her face, and her hair was only hanging down softly behind her, obviously she was going to sleep after taking off her makeup.

The emperor held his hands behind his back, looked at her slightly drooping face, and couldn't help saying: "You rested early."

Speaking of it, Jiang Heng felt that the night was full of chaos, and the plot was twisted and twisted, which was unusual.

As far as the emperor is concerned, he only felt that this night was even more chaotic, and the chaos made him upset!

Originally, this was just an ordinary critique day.

Before the emperor’s case, there were piles of papers—this was sorted by Zhang Tingyu according to the degree of urgency, and the first part was sent up to wait for the emperor’s approval. The first six papers for dry goods that can be used for business, and the number of water papers, please rest assured that they have been picked up. out.

The vast majority of these are memorials about river governance.

The courtiers were all good at embodying the holy will, not to mention the new appointment of the governor of the river by the emperor, and even sending out his younger brother, King Xunjun, they knew that the emperor intended to make great efforts to control the river.After clarifying the key points of recent work, in order to keep up with the pace of the leadership and show the demeanor of each department, the relevant ministries all reported the relevant work on the river control, writing notes in detail, for fear that the emperor would think that they were dereliction of duty.

As a result, the number of books rose rapidly.

The emperor is also a person who is serious about everything and likes to do things by himself.In addition, he had a lot of experience in river control in his previous life, and he wished to arrange everything in place before the river control officials left Beijing, so that they would avoid detours, and the people would suffer less from floods and displacement, even if they thought a little more about it. , to save a family from suffering, the emperor thinks it is worth it.

So the emperor simply ordered Su Peisheng to add a few small tables in the outer room of the study, leaving Prince Yi, Zhang Tingyu and others to work overtime together - the papers that can be approved tonight will never be kept until tomorrow, and the papers that cannot be approved tonight will not be saved. Overtime work is approved.

In fact, after lunch, Zhang Yuzhu also brought a sign asking the emperor to turn over.It was only when the brand new green card was in front of his eyes that the emperor remembered that today was the day for the newcomers to leave Chuxiu Palace.

But this cognition didn't change the emperor's mind about working overtime tonight - he didn't like being interrupted in the middle of his work, so he was going to finish his work in one go, and then go to the harem to rest after the river control official team left the capital.

The emperor waved his hand, and Zhang Yuzhu backed away with tears: Today is another day of no achievements, and the empress dowager will definitely not give him a good face.

In the past, he thought that the respect room was a good job, but now he thinks this brand burns his hands.

However, before dinner, the servants of Yikun Palace came to see him, and reported to the emperor that the noble concubine was ill.At first the emperor only said to ask the imperial doctor to see him, but soon another pair of personal maids came to the imperial concubine's palace, and said sadly that the imperial concubine had a severe headache and was very uncomfortable, begging the emperor to see her.

The Emperor has complicated feelings towards Concubine Nian.So much so that I have seen the queen twice, but I never went to see the noble concubine Nianshi.

Nianshi used to be a woman he liked very much, but they seemed to agree with the saying that there is no relationship between them.She is obviously the person next to her pillow, and her affection is not bad.Unfortunately, several of their children died one after another, and none of them grew up, and the mother clan that once made Nian's glory also felt sad for some reason, especially his elder brother Nian Gengyao, who was later executed by the emperor. .

It can be said that the relationship between him and Nianshi during those years in Prince Yong's mansion was slowly shattered as he ascended the throne as emperor, until Nianshi also passed away.

She died ten years before him.

After being in the palace for a long time, no one mentioned that there was such a noble concubine.

Now everything starts all over again in a flash, the emperor is confident that his court and his country will be governed better, and many previous regrets can be made up for.It's a pity that the affection and emotion between people cannot be restored from scratch.

The emperor even breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that the Nian Shi here had no children.

He no longer wants to face the premature deaths of his children.

At this time, hearing Nian's palace servants say that she had a severe headache, the emperor sighed, and didn't have the heart to ignore it, and was going to visit Yi Er: He would see Nian again sooner or later.And he remembered that Nian's health was really bad, and he always endured it silently. Sometimes he blamed the imperial doctor for improper diagnosis and treatment, and Nian only said that he was an old disease of childbirth and was just weak, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Unexpectedly, when I went to take a look, it was true that the imperial concubine had a headache, but it was true that she was making excuses to see him.Moreover, the noble concubine was full of resentment for the emperor not coming to see her for a month, and after seeing the emperor greeted her, she couldn't help but said: "If the concubine doesn't order someone to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask to see her, is the emperor planning to never visit the concubine for the rest of her life? ?”

The emperor was very displeased when he heard the words: I put aside the notebook, put aside the thirteenth brother who is on the night shift in the duty room and others, and came to visit you with sincere intolerance and concern.

The result is this?That's it?

To Su Peisheng, it was the face of Long Live Lord at that time, which reminded him of the cedar outside the palace in winter, with a layer of frost hanging on it.

Afterwards, the emperor saw that the imperial concubine was still wronged and complained, so he turned around and left before the imperial concubine could finish speaking.

Su Peisheng was speechless: Is the emperor really angry?In the past, the imperial concubine used to act coquettishly, although the emperor was sometimes unhappy, but most of the two of them would get better after a few words, so it was rare to turn around and leave without saying a word.

The emperor left Yikun Palace, and originally wanted to rush back to work in the nearby Palace of Mental Cultivation.However, after getting on the sedan chair, he temporarily changed his mind and said to go to the Queen's Palace.

Emperor Yongzheng was a vigorous and resolute person, and his whole person was the antonym of procrastination.Completing today's affairs today is just the foundation, he can't wait to be ahead of time and understand all the arrangements for tomorrow and the future.

So he didn't want to wait until tomorrow with the disappointment and annoyance in his heart, and immediately went to the queen's palace.

The queen was very surprised when she received the driver, but the emperor marked down the door as soon as he entered the door. He only said that from now on, the maids and eunuchs belonging to the harem are not allowed to step into the Qianqing Palace and the Yangxin Palace without an edict.

The queen understood.

Ah, I heard that the imperial concubine sent someone to invite the emperor today, did this offend the emperor?

The empress used to cause the emperor and the concubine to quarrel, so she deliberately asked, "The concubines will restrain their own palace people and other palaces. But the emperor said before, where is the concubine's place?" Different from the other side..."

It's all golden words, I really don't know which version to listen to.

Before she finished speaking, she saw the eyes of the emperor looking over.The emperor's eyes were extremely bright and sharp, and he rarely looked at people without a sense of coldness. This time, his eyes were filled with a chilling air of emperor.

The queen only felt that he seemed to see his thoughts clearly with such an ordinary glance, which made her feel embarrassed that she had nowhere to escape standing under the midsummer sun.

Fortunately, the emperor did not get angry, but quickly and clearly answered her: "Among the six palaces, there are no exceptions."

In fact, if Prince Yi hadn't said it before, the emperor knew that everyone here believed that he loved the concubine very much and often violated the etiquette rules, and he would be furious if the queen asked him this question.

As a queen, she still hesitates to keep the palace people in the harem from running around?

Today he simply explained to the queen: "From now on, I want a safe and stable harem."

The queen quickly corrected her attitude, pulled her sleeves back and respectfully said: "The concubine will lead the training."

But despite the respect and fear on the surface, the queen was happy in her heart——she had heard a lot of reprimanding words from the emperor in the past, but she had never been so comfortable with the reprimand.

In the past, the emperor always blamed her for berating the imperial concubine (in the early days of the palace, he also blamed her for berating the Li family, the Song family and others), but today the emperor blamed her for not being able to suppress the imperial concubine.

Great.

With this "sacred teaching", I can "correct my mistakes" according to the order, and I will dismiss the noble concubine openly in the future and restrain the noble concubine's palace people.

So the queen endured the joy in her heart and hurriedly agreed.

After the formal conversation with the empress came to an end, the palace talents dared to come up to serve tea.

The emperor came from the Yikun Palace in the West Sixth Palace to the Chengqian Palace in the East Sixth Palace with anger. After tossing back and forth, he was exhausted. When he saw the palace people serving tea, he thought that the Queen's tea was always the best here, so he prepared to drink it too. Cup of tea and go back.

However, after taking the first sip, the queen began to try to recommend newcomers to him: "Your Majesty, the new concubines have all been divided into palaces today. Would you like to go and have a look? They are all looking forward to the emperor's arrival." Well." He said specifically: "Your Excellency lives next door in the Yonghe Palace."

The emperor was angry again at that time, he came to arrange tasks for the queen, and he didn't take the task from the queen!So he snorted coldly, stopped drinking the tea, and walked away from the queen again.

Su Peisheng was in great pain at the time: the emperor is no longer a cedar covered with a layer of frost, but he is an icicle, exuding a chilling chill!

He was worried about how to serve him these two days!

Seeing that the emperor left the Chengqian Palace, he stopped carrying the sedan chair and went straight to the Yonghe Palace.Su Peisheng only had time to dispatch a young eunuch and immediately ran to tell Mr. Xin.

Amitabha, the noble concubine and the empress have made the emperor unhappy one after another, I hope that the noble one will not go wrong again!

In fact, in the heart of the emperor who has been an emperor for more than ten years, everything is like a mirror.

The imperial concubine's request to see is of course to act like a baby and to win favor, but if she chooses to ask for a meeting today, she is giving the newcomers a bad impression.Among the newcomers, the most fearful person among the newcomers was probably the honorable person whom she had summoned.

Thinking of the girl with a pleasant smile, the emperor thought, since we are all at the edge of Yonghe Palace, let's take a look at her.

It is also clear that the noble concubine should not try to suppress others by virtue of the grace, where he will go as the emperor can only be decided by the emperor himself.

Two hurried timelines converge to the present.

However, the emperor went to the Yonghe Palace and saw that the nobleman seemed to have rested.The emperor himself is still running around in three places overnight, cleaning up the mess before!

The emperor couldn't help but said: "You rested early."

Jiang Heng was quite speechless.

Fortunately, a gust of wind blew by at this time.Even at the end of spring in central Beijing, the temperature difference between day and night is not small.Jiang Heng was in a hurry to come out, and he didn't even have time to put on his coat and cloak. When the draft blew, Jiang Heng couldn't help but tremble all over his body—Jiang Heng himself said that this trembling also had an element of frightening the emperor.

I have to say that the imperial aura and sense of oppression are really too much.

And the emperor softened his heart after seeing her trembling eyelashes like this: Forget it, what does she know?Presumably because I heard that I went to the imperial concubine's palace, I thought that I would never have a chance to meet her, so I changed my clothes and rested.

Moreover, she changed her clothes, so she appeared to be ignorant of the outside world. The empress did not mention her deliberately, it was probably just a passing word, otherwise the Yonghe Palace would not be unprepared.

The emperor's tone was mild: "Get up, it's cold outside, go in first."

Jiang Hengxin said: It's actually okay outside, but your expression is too cold.

After all, Jiang Heng has just moved into the Yonghe Palace. The main house has only basic furniture and furnishings, and it is a bit empty, looking deserted.The emperor naturally walked towards the most well-furnished East Wing and sat down.

As soon as she was seated, the emperor saw the star motion instrument he gave her on the desk.

It's just that this star motion instrument is no different from what I put together at that time.

Let's say that after the star map is put together, there is a hinge at the bottom that can be locked and locked, so that the star map will not be messed up again.Now that the star map is complete, the emperor can't help but think, is this because no one has touched it since it was moved out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation?

The emperor frowned slightly, ignored the tea served by the court lady, and asked Jiang Heng directly: "Since I gave it to you, have you tried to transfer it?"

It was because she liked it that she gave it to her.

The emperor doesn't expect the little girl to be able to understand the astronomical device, but at least she has to fiddle with it and try to change it. If she doesn't understand how it works at all, or if she just likes the gem beads on it, It would make the emperor unhappy to let this jewel of the astronomical instrument, which contains the laws of heaven, star orbits and mathematical rules, be covered with dust.

Unexpectedly, he listened to the nobleman's words: "The concubine will mess up the star map every day and put it back together. This is just done today."

Jiang Heng has carefully studied the astronomical instrument.

As a professional, everyone knows that the kind of project that the boss explained has no deadline. It may not be a good thing, and it may be when it will be.In the middle of the night, he suddenly sent a message: "Xiao Jiang, is the manuscript I gave you before finished?" It's all normal.

So after the emperor gave her the star motion instrument, Jiang Heng studied its gameplay thoroughly without hassle.I found that this star animation is like a Rubik's cube. No matter how it is messed up, if you follow a certain formula, you will definitely be able to restore it.

After trying too many times, Jiang Heng is now very used to turning on the mechanism when she has nothing to do, and putting on the star motion device again, which has become her favorite entertainment for daily rest and relaxation.

She even timed herself, trying to shorten the time to complete the star map.

When the emperor heard her say that, he raised his eyebrows: It would be fine if he was lucky enough to compose a complete star map, but according to her meaning, put together every day?Could she understand the math here?

Jiang Heng saw the emperor's expression in his eyes, and lowered his head: "The leader's appearance is too high, it's not a good thing. Just now, seeing the emperor's raised eyebrows, he was a little bit happy to appreciate the beauty."

The emperor got up and walked to the table, opened the key mechanism, and messed up the sun, moon and stars on the star motion meter, then nodded to her: "Come here."

Jiang Hengxin said: "The emperor is the emperor, and I don't sleep at night, so I came here to check and accept the project."

Jiang Heng walked over, quickly and smoothly restored the star motion device, and then looked up at the emperor.

The emperor didn't think it was over yet, he changed the direction and started from the Jingu star, instead of doing anything casually, he deliberately messed up the star chart.

Jiang Heng recovered again.

The two of them didn't speak, they just played "you set things right and I get back to it" several times, and the eyeballs of Su Peisheng, who was standing at the door, almost fell out.

At this time, the emperor has discovered that there is a rule for trustworthy nobles to assemble the star map. Every time, they first complete the northern constellations and then sort out the others. It seems that no matter how messed up, she has her own way to restore the star map. road without interference.

There is a feeling of invariance.

The emperor just watched her dexterous fingers, focused on moving the stars up and down, her expression gradually calmed down, and the coldness when she first entered the room was gone.After Jiang Heng finished fighting again, the emperor didn't mess it up again, but reached out and buckled the mechanism to fix the star map: "You are worthy of this star motion instrument."

The emperor turned his head and looked at his watch, and then he was about to drive back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation - he had no intention of flipping anyone's signboard today, and there were still countless business matters piled up on his desk!

Starting from the imperial concubine's request for an audience, this trip has been delayed for nearly an hour.

The emperor felt sorry for his time.

Seeing that the emperor was about to get up, Jiang Heng bowed his knees and saluted to see him off. He felt a little bit hard to send God off, but he finally let go of God's sense of relief.

But the emperor didn't say a word when he saw her, he just sent him off obediently and stopped at the door instead.

Heart said: She is also pitiful, she suddenly came and then left, this did not frighten her so much that she did not dare to speak, let alone persuade her to stay.After she left, she might have been in a state of apprehension and fear until midnight, thinking that she had offended the emperor, so the emperor would not stay.

Thinking of Mr. Xin, who had just entered the palace for a month, and was a stranger to the girl's family, the emperor felt sorry for each other.It's only been a month or so since I've been here in Qing Dynasty, so I have to get used to everything.

It's like a plant that has grown up, being uprooted and replaced by a completely unfamiliar environment.

As she is, so is he.

Thinking of how she was trembling by the wind at the door just now, the emperor's tone softened: "I was too busy today to turn over my cards, so I just stopped by to see you first." .”

Jiang Heng raised his head in surprise: Is the emperor explaining and comforting her?

Explain that he came and went in such a hurry, so that he should not be afraid.

The emperor saw a smile on Mr. Xin's face.Her smile always reminds people of something beautiful, like iced watermelon cheese in summer.

Her eyes were also very bright, she looked at him with a transparent smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor knew that the nobleman understood what he meant.I understand what he said just now, it is caring or comforting, and it is to let her sleep well.

It is a pleasant thing for one's kindness to be fully understood by others.The emperor was no exception, a faint smile flashed across his lips, but then he regained his majesty as an emperor who couldn't look directly at him, and quickly left the Yonghe Palace with people.

"My lord, please warm up your hands." As soon as the emperor left, Qiulu outside sent in a hand stove and Mrs. Tang.

Just now Jiang Heng was shivered by the wind at the door, not only the emperor saw it, but also the waiters like them.As soon as the emperor left, Qiuxue and Qiushuang served Jiang Heng hot tea and put on clothes in the room, and Qiulu hurriedly got a hand stove.

Fortunately, the nobleman just moved in with few things, and winter items such as hand stoves are easy to find.

Jiang Heng held the teacup and said with a smile: "Just drink a cup of hot water. It's almost summer, and I found a hand stove again." Everyone in the room laughed.

It's a relaxed laugh.

After this first night, the Emperor raided the Yonghe Palace. Although the Yonghe Palace was frightened and flustered for a while, it was only through some things that we worked together that people became closer together.

Jiang Heng felt that the atmosphere in the Yonghe Palace was much more united than in the daytime.

Moreover, the emperor's visit this time is a great encouragement to the palace people of Yonghe Palace: the emperor treats his nobles very well!

Jiang Heng also felt that the emperor was a very good leader.

In fact, as the top decision-makers, most of the time they don't and don't have to worry about others, especially other people's feelings.

Jiang Heng belonged to a different category. She saw that this harem was different from others. The emperor really left without saying a word, so she wouldn't do anything.But if any new concubine is replaced, the emperor comes here with anger, doesn't say much, stays for a while and then leaves, I'm afraid he will toss and turn tonight, unable to sleep, trembling and depressed all night.

The unknown is always the most frightening and anxious.

The emperor was willing to understand this, and he could comfort him with a word before leaving, Jiang Heng felt that the emperor was actually a very soft-hearted person.

Before Jiang Heng went to bed, he also drank a bowl of ginger soup sent by Qiu Xue.

At this time, it must not be the ginger soup ordered from the dining room, so it would be too exciting.Presumably Qiu Xue boiled it herself with a small stove.

Fortunately, there is also white sugar and brown sugar in the nobleman's portion. After drinking a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water, Jiang Heng really felt warm enough to go to sleep.

When Jiang Heng handed the bowl to Qiu Xue, she heard her say: "The emperor is concerned about the nobleman, I'm afraid these days will turn the cards, you can't be sick!"

Jiang Heng: ...As expected of Qiu Xue, she is too ambitious.

After handing in the "Star Motion Instrument Project" to send off the big boss for inspection, Jiang Heng, who drank hot brown sugar ginger water at the end, slept soundly all night.

But this night, not many people in the harem slept as well as her.

The Empress Dowager passed her 50th birthday two years ago, and in this era, she can be regarded as a standard old lady.

The sleep at night is far less good than when she was young: Speaking of which, the queen mother was born as a court lady, and later became a concubine.She still remembered that she was always sleepy when she was young, but she couldn't help herself at that time, so she had to take a short nap, and it felt sweet to squint for a quarter of an hour.Now let her sleep, she can only take a nap to find a sense of freedom, but the quality of sleep is not so good.

Get up earlier in the morning.

The Compassionate Ning Palace followed the Empress Dowager's routine, and when it was still dark, everyone got up.

After the queen mother washed, she would eat a mushy porridge made of rice and almonds before breakfast.

In fact, with the current status of the Empress Dowager, she can rinse her mouth with ginseng soup and bird’s nest every day, but the older she gets, the more she misses the porridge that was used at home when she was a child, so now she drinks a bowl every morning .

For that rice, we don’t want to use high-quality Oden rouge rice, but only ordinary white rice or barley.

Unlike the queen who doesn't want to be disturbed when drinking tea, the queen mother likes to listen to Aunt Wu Ya when drinking porridge.

The main reason is that the rice porridge is so thick that it cools very slowly, so the queen mother wants to drink it slowly, so it is a side dish of porridge.

Sister Wu Ya first said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the imperial concubine asked to see her, and the emperor went to Yikun Palace." After speaking, the queen mother wrinkled her nose.

The Empress Dowager knew the news last night, so she fell asleep depressingly: The emperor still only cares about the imperial concubine in his heart, he is so worried about himself!

Why didn't the emperor follow the previous emperor?The late emperor was very keen on discovering newcomers, and no one could stand in his heart for a long time.Not to mention that the first emperor had a lot of pets when he was young, and the harem was full of flowers.Even in his later years, there are still newcomers, and he never sleeps alone except on special days.

On the point of turning cards and having children, the late emperor never let the elder of the royal family at that time, Empress Dowager Renxian, worry about it.

As a result, when he came to the emperor, he would get angry every day.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was upset, Aunt Wu Ya hurriedly continued: "It's just that the emperor didn't stay in Yikun Palace, but he left Yikun Palace in a quarter of an hour, and went to the Queen's Palace instead."

The Queen Mother raised her head with interest.

Aunt Wu Ya was like a play, she started and said, "But she didn't stay in Chengqian Palace, she just sat for a while and then left Chengqian Palace."

The queen mother snorted, yes, the emperor has not stayed at the queen's place for several years, and she has no intention of competing for favor when she looks at the queen.

"Later, Lord Long Live went to Yonghe Palace."

The queen mother has followed the court rules for many years, and she has long developed the habit of never speaking when she has something in her mouth, so she only uses her eyes to signal Aunt Wu Ya to speak quickly.

I heard that the emperor did not stay at the Yonghe Palace, and the queen mother was discouraged. The emperor went around the palace three times this night, but he didn't stop. In the end, he still stayed alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which really made the queen mother depressed.

It's just that the queen mother is not going to persecute the emperor on this matter.

It was actually the queen mother's idea to hold a talent show to enrich the harem, but in the past month since the newcomers entered the palace, the queen mother found that the number of times the emperor flipped his cards had dropped sharply, and she herself was getting more and more dignified.Although she greeted her as usual, she always felt that her son had become more like an emperor.

In this way, the queen mother is vigilant: yes, she is the queen mother, she is the mother-in-law, but no matter what, the only one who has the final say in the world is the emperor.

Just let him go.

What happened last night, the queen mother just listened to the excitement, but the harem is the excitement itself.

Not to mention that the emperor walked through three palaces in one night, what surprised Concubine Qi and other concubines who were born in the palace was that Concubine Nian did not leave the emperor behind!

It's really the first time in the world.

They really wanted to see the face of Concubine Nian.

It's just that the imperial concubine invited the emperor over last night on the grounds that she had a headache, and whether the emperor stayed or not, she really got a headache and felt extremely uncomfortable.Today just happened to be on sick leave, so she wouldn't come out to look at these people's eyebrows and eyes, and be ridiculed by those people!

The first party does not go out, the second party is the queen, she is the only one who asks the concubine, and no concubine asks her, so everyone turns to the third party, the trustworthy nobleman who has only entered the palace for a month.

Compared with the first two, she looks softer and more clichéd.

Jiang Heng, on the other hand, had already made preparations. He only used his identity as a newcomer to keep his eyes open and pretend to be ignorant, and asked him three questions.

Fortunately, this day is the day when the newcomers pay their respects to the Empress Dowager together, and all the concubines can't waste the time. Seeing that Jiang Heng couldn't ask anything here, they had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace first to pay their respects.

The Empress Dowager is a scene person who has been immersed in the harem for many years. Regardless of her mood, she can always show the appropriate demeanor on the appropriate occasion.

It was she who urged the emperor to go to the first draft after he ascended the throne. Except for sitting there for half a day on the first morning, the emperor didn't show up for the rest of the time.

It can be said that these show girls are actually selected by the Queen Mother.She was thinking about the emperor's aesthetics, her background and so on were put on the back burner, she had to be liked by the emperor before she could have grandchildren, right?

Since it was the person she chose, it was the first time to formally kowtow to her queen mother, so it was natural to make a statement.

Therefore, the queen mother still distributes clothing materials generously: silk, satin and other items belong to the hard currency of the harem, and their practicality is second only to silver. , just give me more rewards this time.

Everyone kowtowed to the queen mother again to thank her.

The Empress Dowager first told the newcomer: "As a concubine, the most important thing is to serve the Emperor." Then she turned her head and said, "Speaking of serving the Emperor, Empress, come here, Aijia will ask you a few words."

Empresses are different from concubines, they can still have a seat in the Compassion Palace.However, she only had a straight back, sitting on half of the chair, as if she was ready to get up at any time, and she was very tired even thinking about sitting.

Sure enough, listening to the Queen Mother's call at this time, the Queen immediately stood up and stepped forward, listening to the Queen Mother's order with her hands down.

"Since the imperial concubine is not happy, let her have a good rest! Headache is not a minor problem, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine, if she suffers from cold and headache, it will be a big deal for the emperor to have a headache too!"

The queen obediently agreed.

The queen mother continued: "Next month will be the Dragon Boat Festival, do you have a regulation?" Before the queen could answer, the queen mother sighed and said: "The imperial concubine is so weak, I'm afraid I can't share your worries, as long as you are tired .”

Jiang Heng heard the queen say: "The empress is so kind and loving, my concubines don't dare to say they are tired, and they will definitely finish the Dragon Boat Festival."

After asking and answering the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Tian family, it was determined that the concubine Nian was sick and could not attend the bed and manage palace affairs.

Jiang Heng stood at the front of the newcomers and couldn't see the expressions of the people behind him, but he also knew that the newcomers probably looked at the Queen Mother as if they were looking at the Lord Qingtian, and their eyes were shining with admiration.

It is really learned to be a man in this palace.

When the imperial concubine locked the newcomer in Chuxiu Palace, the queen mother did not act because the emperor had agreed.The queen mother did not even send anyone to interfere in this matter.

But now, as soon as she released her hand, the queen mother then threw a Foshan Shadowless Palm in front of the newcomer, suppressing the noble concubine Nian with a few words, revealing her unparalleled status as the queen mother in the harem.

Jiang Heng continued to think deeply: The imperial concubine was stuck asking to see the emperor yesterday, probably not only to continue to suppress their newcomers, but also to use her strength to fight against the empress dowager's dissatisfaction with the emperor.

As long as the emperor went to her palace and showed his unique love for her, the queen mother would not be too strict with her.

It's a pity that the operation this time was a little bit wrong, and it didn't achieve the effect that Nian Guifei expected. Instead, the Queen Mother took this opportunity to strip her of the right to assist the Six Palaces.

"An insight into the world is knowledge, and a mastery of human feelings is an article." Jiang Heng felt that this sentence was true. The operations of these bigwigs in the palace all became more meaningful and flavorful the more they pondered.

After returning from the Empress Dowager's Palace, Jiang Heng found that the room became brighter and cleaner, and there were even more furnishings in the main room.

I think it was because she just moved in yesterday, she was too hasty, and some of the furnishings were not in place. Today, while she was going out, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some more, not to mention, the palace staff in her palace also worked overtime to clean the house again.

Of course, Jiang Heng knew that the main reason was that the emperor came up last night.

Qiu Shuang, who was staying in the Yonghe Palace, saw the master enter the door and took a few glances, and hurried up to report happily: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent all the young masters of the palaces the decorations that are due to their positions. We have one more hibiscus and frozen stone tripod here." , it was Su Gonggong from the Hall of Mental Cultivation who specifically ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Although a Hibiscus Frozen Stone Cauldron is not big, but there is a saying from the Hall of Mental Cultivation that the other things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send to the Yonghe Palace will definitely not be bad, and it is estimated that an upgraded version will be temporarily given to her.

Jiang Heng felt that everyone in the harem was like a fox, and they all needed a fox to pretend to be a tiger.

It's a pity that there is only one tiger, and it can only take turns to borrow its prestige.Those who are not favored look forward to being favored, but those who are favored are very afraid of becoming a helpless fox who loses the tiger.

After thinking about the relationship between tigers and foxes, Jiang Heng sat at the table and began to think about a more important matter.

What's going on with this plot?

Why did the emperor come to the imperial concubine's palace, leave the 'sick' imperial concubine alone and go elsewhere?It doesn't matter whether the imperial concubine is really sick or not, but once the emperor leaves, the imperial concubine will be greatly ashamed.According to the emperor's feelings for the imperial concubine at this stage in "Xinfeilu", he would not do such a thing.

Jiang Heng used to think that he was a butterfly, or that he had done something to Cong Yipin Ama who had never met outside the palace.

But now, she has a hunch that she can't believe it. It seems that the emperor is not like the emperor in the plot line.

Jiang Heng didn't directly draw this conclusion: she remembered that when she was doing experiments before, the same samples, kits, drying ovens and machines were used, but the results of the repeated experiments were very different, so that she wondered if it was the right time. This kind of metaphysics is not good.

It can be seen that the things in the matter affect the whole body, and even the slightest change will lead to a very different ending.

The reason for the deviation of the plot line, she needs to observe and test carefully.

Three days after officially taking up his post, Jiang Heng once again discovered the similarities between concubines in the harem and going to work.

Just like when going to work, getting up on a weekday morning to put on makeup and change clothes to go out, being a concubine in the harem is also the same process, and it is also a process of wearing makeup for at least eight hours during the day-it does not mean that you can change after inviting Ann back to your palace. Clothes lie flat.

One is to prepare for the emperor to flip the sign, and the other is that the daytime is the recognized working time in the harem.

Maybe the empress dowager will be summoned, or there may be empresses who want to meet, just like other department managers looking for newcomers, although they are not directly affiliated, but they are at the top of the official rank.Generally, concubines and concubines want to "invite" the nobles below, or they often go to the palace to "talk and play cards to relieve boredom", and they can't allow them to shirk, and they have to go to the entertainment immediately.

To sum up, during the day in this palace, it is impossible to be like normal modern people on vacation, lying on the bed in pajamas, enjoying the upside down day and night, watching TV, watching mobile phones and not socializing or talking.

The worst thing is that the palace still has a 360 five-day non-rotational rest system.

When Jiang Heng was in Chuxiu Palace, he adjusted his mentality: There is no such thing as a holiday here, and it is estimated that in the next many years, she will have to maintain a normal routine and sleep in the morning and evening.

Adjust your mentality in advance, and your life will go on.

Apart from psychological problems, Jiang Heng's first concern is the quality of rouge powder.

She had watched a documentary about lead before.

Sugar was a rarity in ancient times, regardless of whether it was the same at home or abroad. Natural syrups such as honey in the ancient Roman Empire were expensive. The people thought of a way to eat sugar: boil grape juice in a lead pot, and eat lead candy!

In the eyes of modern people, this is suicide by taking poison, but it was enjoyed by the ancient Romans.

Some scholars even suspect that the decline and fall of the ancient Roman Empire is inseparable from lead sugar: this stuff hurts the brain and nervous system, and can cause a series of problems such as miscarriage.

But for the working people in ancient my country, it was the casting skills that lit up the lead - lead can be used to cast iron, it is too wasteful to use it to make pots, and it can be regarded as a blessing to China.

But as Ju Jiangheng knew, powder made of lead in ancient times was very popular among women because of its white color, and the price was not cheap.

Perhaps the high miscarriage rate of children in royal families is also related to lead powder.

At that time in Chuxiu Palace, because I was learning the rules, except for the time when I met the driver, everyone usually wore the same water-blue flag dress with a plain face-this was the standard attire for entering the palace. No special clothes were allowed, let alone With heavy makeup, you can't see your true colors.

Now that he is officially on the job and has to put on makeup every day, Jiang Heng is concerned about his health first.

She asked Qiu Xue directly: "Is there lead powder in the rouge and gouache in the concubine's order?"

Qiu Xue said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, lead powder is not allowed in the palace now. Although the lead pink is white, it is dignified and dry. It is said that there are spots on the face after using too much lead powder. Now the palace uses the jasmine seeds made in the palace. pink."

While talking, he opened the powder box newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and showed it to Jiang Heng.

The box is neatly arranged with ten boxes of powder for making tops.

The box is made of translucent light blue colored glass. When you open it, you can see that the inside is not a box of powder, but ten hosta flowers tied at the mouth with extremely thin red threads, exuding the fragrance of flowers and powder.

When Jiang Heng watched Dream of Red Mansions before, he saw the scene in Jia Baoyu's room.
