[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

After the day's class was over, Jiang Heng keenly noticed that Mrs. Guo was avoiding her a little. He didn't take the initiative to talk to her as he did the previous two days. Instead, he seemed to avoid suspicion.When having lunch, they all sat on a table farther away, sitting with the beautiful girls of the Han Army Banner.

In class, when Mammy Ye said those words, Jiang Heng thought of this scene.

It doesn't matter whether Guo Changzai has a temper with her or not, but the quarrel between Manjunqi and Hanjunqi this day can be regarded as bringing the conflict to the surface.

As the Hanjun Qixiu girl's family with the best family background and the highest status, Guo is naturally the invisible leader.Many people watched her actions, it would be inappropriate for Mrs. Guo to take the initiative to make friends with Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng found that his life was more peaceful: Manjun Banner was headed by Ma Jiashi. In their eyes, Ma Jiashi was the same enemy as them, and they would justly condemn Concubine Nian together (although it was because the nanny did not come, a big Hiding under the tree to condemn), but compared to the noble people who seldom deal with them, they are really righteous.

People generally have a mentality of blind obedience, especially in a weak position, and they want to find a strong person to rely on for guidance, and even have the idea of ​​"even if they go to the underworld, there is a companion".

It's just a simple explanation of status for a day, and this wave of beautiful women is divided into three camps: the Manjun Banner led by Ma Jia, the Han Army Banner represented by Guo Shi, and Jiang Heng himself, a trustworthy nobleman.

It can be regarded as a proper conspiracy of division.It can be seen that Concubine Nian is not the one who just ran to act like a spoiled child to the emperor as soon as she got hot in her head: "I don't like new beautiful girls. If you love me, lock them up and don't see them."

Concubine Nian is not a spoiled concubine with no brains, she has a complete way of shutting down newcomers.First of all, by using the palace regulations as an excuse, the show girls were put in the Chuxiu Palace with reasonable grounds. At the same time, in order to prevent the show girls from sharing the same hatred after this incident, they all regarded her as the imperial concubine as an enemy, so they placed it inside again. Nanny Ye, directly divided these newcomers, causing them to quarrel internally and killing themselves.

It can be said that every step is a chess game.

No wonder such a noble concubine who is loved, family background, looks and brains can not fall down.

From Jiang Heng's point of view, even if they knew what Concubine Nian wanted to do, they couldn't resist for the time being.

Just like human hands want to grab the chicks and put them in piles, these beautiful girls entered the palace for the first time, and they didn't have the strength to resist other concubines, especially concubines like Nian Guifei.

The little chick struggled hard, perhaps giving the person who held it a peck, but the fate of the little chicken was absolutely miserable.

Jiang Heng didn't intend to struggle with this for the time being: neither the left nor the right, being a third party by himself is not a bad thing in the workplace.

If there is a dispute between the left and the right, maybe they have to come to her, a neutral person, to say something fair.

So Jiang Heng finished his day as usual.

She believed that every little thing that happened in Chuxiu Palace, even if it was just what they ate for breakfast, would be completely recorded and conveyed to all the empresses in the harem soon.

The reality is the same.

The "Three Kingdoms Killing" in the classroom of Chuxiu Palace, and the ensuing queuing situation, were distributed to the masters and empresses of the palaces at night, like the freshest fruit in the Nanguofang. Their slender fingers flicked aside to take a closer look.

For these women who are already in their early years, the newcomer is the new fruit. Although it is tender and fresh, it is very fragile, like a small white pear that has a hole in it, and it will rot easily.

And it is definitely not wrong to use the words "to get out of the head" to describe the existing theme.

Although the current emperor and the first emperor Kangxi are father and son, their tempers are completely different.

Emperor Kangxi had many concubines, including favorite concubines, but no unique favorite concubines.Even Kangxi's favor can't affect his judgment. He has always carried out the basic policy of "not using favors to advance" and unswervingly followed the route of "collective promotion". The promotion of concubines is basically proportional to seniority and the number of children. relevant.

Therefore, the scenery of the first emperor's harem is rich but not chaotic.

Relatively speaking, today's emperor's harem can only be regarded as small but fine: those who can survive for a single position must be people with a lot of brushes.

Especially since Concubine Nian entered the palace, for the past five years, the back residence of the palace and the harem of the Forbidden City have almost been staged by Concubine Nian alone.

Under such circumstances, the empress who can get out of Prince Yong's mansion and win the main position is all powerful.

Besides, the queen was somewhat disappointed when she heard the news from Chuxiu Palace. She originally had high hopes for this show girl: it's time for a few people to come out to share the favor of the imperial concubine.

At this time, he couldn't help saying to his confidantes: "The top few among the newcomers have good background and appearance, but in terms of temperament, alas, they all followed Nian Guifei's teasing, and just entered the palace and started working on their own."

However, Concubine Xi, who also received the letter, had a different idea from the empress: the newcomers entered the palace alone, and they didn't understand the clear rules of the palace, let alone the unspoken rules?I'm afraid they don't even know how many concubines there are in the palace, how can they break the situation of the concubine of the year, it is safer to follow along first.

Xi concubine Niu Hulu's family has always believed in a word of stability.

Relying on this stability, she safely gave birth to the fourth elder brother Hongli when she was a concubine in Prince Yong's mansion. After entering the palace, she was directly named a concubine, and stood side by side with the side Fujin Li in the hidden mansion.

And the Li family of Fujin, who used to be the side of the palace, and the current concubine Qi, are chatting with Concubine Yu Geng.

Both of them have sons, and they have a lot of topics in common.But today Concubine Qi came to talk about her son, obviously the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

Speaking of Hong Zhou, Concubine Qi said with emotion: "I remember when my sister was pregnant with the fifth elder brother, the imperial concubine only entered the mansion? In a blink of an eye, the youngest elder brother in our palace will also go to the study. The days go by so fast."

Concubine Yu just listened to this and didn't answer: Concubine Qi was mocking the concubine who had served her master for five years and had no children.

She can't answer the conversation, Concubine Qi is unreliable in life, she often visits to spread gossip, if she accosts at this moment, it will be broken if Concubine Qi passes it on to Concubine Nian.

So Geng took a sharp turn and talked about the newcomers: "The days go by so fast, and now a bunch of newcomers like water onions are in Chuxiu Palace."

Sure enough, Concubine Qi's focus was changed. Concubine Qi was the first concubine to enter the palace. She was an old man among old people. Because she was the oldest, she had no resistance to newcomers. Come in, the imperial concubine is not new.

So Concubine Qi said cheerfully: "By the way, I heard that among the newcomers, the trustworthy man has a good appearance. The Empress Dowager liked it at the first sight?"

This is a topic of safety, and Concubine Yu continued chatting with her with a smile: "Yes, it's rather curious. It's just that I can't see it now, so I have to wait for the nobleman to leave Chuxiu Palace, let's see."

When the news from Chuxiu Palace reached the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager was reading a book of palace rules.

Speaking of which, this palace rule has its origins with her.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the palace regulations for concubines in the harem have been divided into three editions.

The first version was drawn up by Empress Xiaozhuang based on the previous dynasty.Probably at that time, Manchu women still had the habit of being the head of the grassland in their blood. The requirements for women were not lack of talent and virtue, but great virtue, great loyalty, and ability to take charge.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, many palace rules were added and changed, forming a detailed and cumbersome second edition.These changes almost suppressed the aura of women assisting the emperor in the palace regulations of Empress Xiaozhuang disappeared.

As for the third edition, it was just revised a year ago.It is the name of the current queen mother - just like a person who becomes a professor and wants to publish a book, so is being a queen mother. As the patriarch of the harem, you need to polish your performance.

This palace rule is made by someone who specializes in etiquette, and the Queen Mother is responsible for the name and acceptance of everyone's worship.

Therefore, when the selection was just finished this spring, the queen led all the concubines to pay their respects at the Palace of Compassion, and the noble concubine said: "The queen mother's palace rules are complete and meticulous, and newcomers will know how to behave when they enter the palace to study." The others also flattered her, and said casually: "Of course a concubine must learn the rules when entering the palace."

Who would have imagined that the imperial concubine would turn around and use this as an excuse to directly ask the emperor for orders, and imprison the newcomers collectively in Chuxiu Palace.

Even in the days when she was a concubine, the queen mother hadn't been tricked like this for many years.It's really what Sun Dasheng said in Journey to the West, "The little bird pecked out the eyes of the wild goose hunt all the year round".

This made the Queen Mother so angry that she didn't eat well for two days.I feel that I have really relaxed my vigilance after becoming the empress dowager, so that I became kind-hearted, but I was fooled by the noble concubine, making it difficult to ride a tiger now.

However, the imperial concubine has already discussed the emperor's will, and even the queen mother can't reject it.Besides, the queen mother can't say that the newcomers are exempted from the examination and let them come out of Chuxiu Palace directly. What is the majesty of the palace rules?

If this is the case, whenever newcomers make mistakes in the future, the noble concubine will be able to talk: the concubine wanted to teach them well that day, but the empress dowager was kind enough to save them from learning, so the concubine had no choice but to obey.

The queen mother's brain hurts thinking about it.

At this moment, the queen mother frowned when she heard the new news from Chuxiu Palace sent by the palace people, she became more and more unhappy.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will send people to Chuxiu Palace to deliver the reward!"
