"The Empress Dowager rewarded the young lords who have just entered the palace with mandarin ducks."

When the maid beside the queen was serving tea on a small red lacquered tea tray, she handed over the latest information by the way.

The Empress used to drink half a cup of refreshing strong tea every morning after breakfast for a quarter of an hour. What she ate today was white peony tea, the buds of which unfolded like flowers in boiling water.

At this time, she flipped the lid of the teacup to look at her tea, and said to Xue Ya, the maid next to her, "The Empress Dowager has her own wrists, let's just watch."

This mandarin duck is not necessarily the most fashionable material, but it is the material with the best name.

The mandarin ducks don't live alone, the queen mother said it was to give Qiluo, but secretly to beat the concubine Nian.

No matter how favored the noble concubine is, no matter how much she has excuses to hinder her, these girls are legitimate concubines after all. The Queen Mother rewarding them with mandarin ducks is a positive gift, and the emperor wants to turn over the cards, which is also a positive thing.

When a newcomer enters the palace, all these little ducks will be imprisoned in the Palace of Excellence for the sake of your concubine's words of pillow flair to the emperor. No matter how much the concubine prepares in advance, the hearts of the people in this world can never be explained clearly.

When the queen picked up the tea, Xue Ya quietly backed away a few steps and stopped talking.The moment of drinking tea is a rare free time for the queen, she is used to just soaking in the fragrance of tea and taking a moment of leisure.

All the big maids around her knew that they should not bother the empress this time.

From their point of view, the empress is too busy on weekdays, taking care of the huge harem every day with a lot of troubles and even being overwhelmed: Although the emperor's concubines are limited, there are many concubines who can't stand the late emperor, and the late emperor left by himself , leaving most of the harem as widows.

The empress is the lord of the six palaces. Except for the empress dowager, the whole harem is inferior to her, but she is considered to be a junior in terms of seniority. Arranging these concubines and concubines must be careful in every way, so as not to be criticized by others.

And many concubines in this palace have heirs, their sons had quarrels with the emperor, and now there is a lot of difference, their sons have become ministers, and they have become concubines themselves, so they hold their breath everywhere, don't Talking about finding fault with the queen, even the queen mother and the others dare to say a word or two about the thorns behind her back.

After all, the emperor has only been on the throne for a little over a year, and the previous dynasty has not yet been completely convinced. The eighth master who used to have the most quarrel with the emperor is still in front of Prince Lian, managing many errands, and has many Manchurians around him Dear ministers of the imperial court.

The emperor did not move in the previous court, and the empress dowager and empress in the harem would not move lightly if there was no major event, and they did not want to cause trouble for the emperor.

Of course, the maids don't understand these things.

They can only see that in the last year and a year, in order to take care of all the affairs in the harem, the empress hardly dared to take a breath for a day. Where did the accident happen, and what needs to be decided by her, the queen.

Although the emperor took every step of the way in the previous court, what she, the queen, did in the harem was not easy.

However, with the anniversary of the emperor's ascension to the throne, especially after the empress presided over a new year, she obviously felt that the hearts of the people in the palace had calmed down a lot.

In other words, most people have accepted their fate.

Telling a lie a thousand times will become true, not to mention Si Ye is now a genuine emperor, and her Sifujin Ulanala family is already a queen, and she is no longer a junior who wants to pay her respects when she meets Concubine Yi and other concubines .

Time is the best answer.

Day by day, the people in the harem, who refuse to accept the facts, are left with broken pots and broken people.The vast majority of people are still ready to bow their heads and submit to live a good life.Under whose hands did you live?They have never been queens anyway.

So the current queen is not the same as before. Even drinking a cup of tea for a quarter of an hour every day seems to be a stolen comfort, and then she has to cheer up and get tense again.

Now, after drinking tea, she can still have leisure time, while reading the various record files in the Moon Palace, while chatting with her confidants about the latest gossip in the palace.

Now the whole palace is staring at Chuxiu Palace.

The queen thought that to some extent, the imperial concubine helped everyone by making her own rafters.Let their palaces and courtyards have long enough time to slowly examine these newcomers.

Speaking of this year, the luck of the newcomers is good or bad.

Fortunately, she is the first draft pick after the emperor's ascension to the throne. In terms of qualifications, even if she can't compare with the concubines from the palace, she is already better than countless people who came after her. It was they who took the lead.

The bad luck is that the emperor only has one concubine Nian in his heart, and the new couple enters the palace like a group of lambs halfway through, when they encounter obstacles in the way.

"The empress dowager admires the nobles the most, and the vinegar smell in the Chuxiu palace is almost wafting out through the wall." Now the empress dowager who is in charge of the Chuxiu palace is a member of the empress's palace. His eyes never left Chuxiu Palace day and night.

Jiang Heng heard a few beautiful girls gathering under the tree to talk about Concubine Nian - they probably thought that while the nuns were not here, they were free to talk for a while, but they didn't think that these words would never be secrets and spread far Faster and wider than they imagined.

How many pairs of eyes are staring at Chuxiu Palace.

The queen smirked when she heard the words: "I'm jealous now, and I'll be even more sour in the future. The queen mother likes to trust noble people. Her family background is also different from others. Among the newcomers this year, if there is no accident, she must be the one who stands out. son."

Another thing, the queen didn't tell anyone, even her confidants.

In fact, before the emperor ascended the throne, the queen's mother-in-law once mentioned the Guarjia family at Prince Yong's mansion, wanting her to be his daughter-in-law and his beloved young son's wife: "Fujin doesn't know, that's really a good idea." The child, needless to say about tutoring, is a lovely child."

At that time, Emperor Xian was in poor health and seemed to want to suspend the next year's draft. The queen remembered that Er Niang's plan was very clear: "If the imperial court does not draft next year, she will be old enough to participate in the election in three years, and she can marry on her own. At that time Tuo Fujin is decent, our family should propose marriage to her family."

It can be seen that the Guarjia family is the appearance that every old lady and wife will like, and the elders like it the most.

Of course, now that the sun and the moon are changing, these old words can no longer be mentioned.

The scale of the draft this time is not small, and it will be held in the Tiyuan Hall. Six beautiful women will form a group and line up for the emperor and queen mother to choose.

The first day's show girls are the most important. The queen mother forced the emperor to sit there for a whole noon, and wanted to choose two show girls with good backgrounds and the emperor's heart.

The Empress Dowager herself suffered from a lower family background in the early years. She was born in Baoyi.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager placed high hopes on this first day's show girl. She knew very well that if she only had looks and no family background, it would be extremely difficult to compete with the Nian Guifei, who is now favored and her family is in full swing.

However, dozens of beautiful girls looked at it this day, and the queen mother liked it at a glance, and the emperor nodded to accept it, and there was really only Xingui.

After the emperor slipped away, the empress dowager took the queen to continue to choose the show girl.

After the queen got the news here, everyone in the six palaces soon knew that the number of mandarin ducks that the queen mother gave to the nobleman was twice that of the rest of the regular ones, with four colors, a total of eight.The rest of the changzai, even Ma Jiashi and Guo shi, whose backgrounds were higher than usual, only got four horses.

Not to mention those who promised, each of them only got two horses - this is because the Queen Mother rewarded them for the first time, and it doesn't sound good to give odd numbers.

Otherwise, according to the rules in the palace, it was promised that in addition to the ten bolts of ordinary cotton cloth each year, the other high-end clothing materials such as silk, silk, and gauze should only get one bolt each.

The whole Chuxiu Palace silently accepted the reward sent by Aunt Wu Ya herself.

This nanny is the most respectable nanny in the harem.

Those who serve the Empress Dowager certainly have a lot of qualifications, the most important thing is that her surname is Wu Ya, and she was also born in Xianglan Banner, and she belongs to the same family as the Empress Dowager. After careful calculation, she is actually a distant relative of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager always treated her differently. When the First Emperor was still there, due to the palace regulations and other concubines watching over her, she was waiting to make mistakes. The master is the master, and the servant is the servant.

Now the Empress Dowager lives by pointing at her son, from needing to pay attention to the facial expressions of the whole harem, to having to watch her facial expressions for all the women in the harem.

Seeing Nanny Wu Ya coming back, she asked curiously as if she was watching a play: "What happened to Mr. Xingui's child? These little girls were spoiled and spoiled at home, and they suddenly entered the Chuxiu Palace. There are not many people in it Waiting, I'm afraid I'm not used to it?"

During the draft, it was a standardized model, but now when something happens, the queen mother wants to see how the trustworthy person is.

The Queen Mother trusted Aunt Wu Ya's vision, so she was overqualified and sent her to give the reward.
