[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

"After all, the noble concubine is young and has no experience in managing palace affairs. There is a saying that is rough but not rough. Three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang. It is also said that one person counts the short and the other three count the long. The concubines and four concubines jointly Managing palace affairs is always more comprehensive than a noble concubine's elder sister controlling the palace power alone." Concubine De said calmly.

With such a large piece of fat in the palace, Concubine De also wanted to control it alone, but she knew it was impossible after thinking about it. Therefore, in order to get the right to control palace affairs, she did not hesitate to divide this piece of fat into four parts. a quarter.

She alone can't compete for the noble concubine who has the support of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, but when Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu also have the opportunity to take charge of palace affairs, are they still willing to let the noble concubine enjoy the great power alone?Obviously impossible!

The family behind Concubine Shu is relatively weak and difficult to calculate, but Concubine Xian will never give up the palace power that she can get to the concubine. As long as the three concubines are not monolithic in this matter, she has ninety-nine percent chance It may be calculated to this palace power.

As long as the noble concubine is not allowed to hold the palace power alone, let alone only a quarter of the palace power, even if there is no palace power at all, it is also a good deal.

Sure enough, after Concubine De's words fell, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu did not retort, and a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Concubine Concubine Shu, and there was a feeling that the situation was over.

"Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, what do you three think of Concubine De's proposal that the four concubines be in charge of palace affairs together?" the emperor asked.

"The concubine listens to the emperor." The noble concubine who already knew that it was impossible to hold the palace power alone said.

The emperor looked at Yingchun again, and Yingchun also agreed, "My concubine listens to the emperor."

"The concubine also obeys the emperor's orders." Concubine Xian and Concubine De also said.

After the emperor nodded, he said, "Your four concubines are the head of the palace, so your four concubines will also be in charge of this palace affairs together!"

"Yes, the concubine obeys the order." The fourth concubine replied.

The emperor waved his hand, and four eunuchs came forward holding four trays, on which were various account books and matching cards, before the fourth concubine could discuss who should take care of which one, the four eunuchs stood in front of the fourth concubine , and one for each person.

"The palace affairs are just divided into four parts, so each of the four of you will have one part!" The emperor said again.

After the four agreed in agreement, they took over the account book and the matching cards. With a random look in their eyes, Yingchun knew that the person who got the big head was Concubine Xian. up.

The imperial concubine's place is also good, it is to distribute the palaces to the palaces, this is a job that can buy people's hearts and make the palaces fearful.

Concubine De is in charge of food and clothing, and Clothes Bureau is also included. Although it is not as good as Concubine Gui and Concubine Xian, it is quite good. Although there is a small kitchen in the palace of the concubine who has the main seat, the small kitchen takes up a lot of space. The word "small" has a lot of limitations, so the piece held by Concubine De has the most oil and water.

The one who arrives at the spring equinox is in charge of the scenery and sanitation of the imperial garden. The third concubine learned that this is the palace affairs of Yingchun, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. Because this job has the least right, it can be said that it is the fourth concubine. The worst one in hand.

However, Yingchun didn't care about it. Although this palace power seemed to have no rights, it was also the least prone to mistakes. Moreover, as a special corner like the Imperial Garden, it was also the place where gossip could be obtained the most.Of course, the most important thing is that the power in her hands is not as important as the child in her belly. The most important thing for her now is to protect her stomach.Everyone had just taken over the palace power, so they definitely couldn't get started quickly, and it would not be too late to plan after she gave birth safely, so Yingchun had no objection.

"This palace affairs are in your hands, I hope you will work together to manage all matters in the harem well." The emperor urged.

"Yes, the concubine will live up to the emperor's entrustment." The fourth concubine assured her.

Maybe it was because the wine at the banquet was getting stronger, and the emperor looked bewildered and tired, so Yingchun and the others didn't look blank, so they hurriedly got up and left.

After exiting the inner hall, Concubine De ignored everyone and turned around to leave, but at this moment, Concubine Gui spoke. "Sister De Concubine is in charge of meals and banquets. I'm afraid that this kind of banquet is still waiting for Sister De Concubine to clean up the mess. The people in this palace will not bother Sister De Concubine."

Concubine Gui suggested to Yingchun and Concubine Xian with a smile on her face, "You two sisters, let's go!"

Yingchun and Concubine Xian nodded in agreement, and the three left together.

Concubine De caressed her stomach and smiled freely. Concubine Gui, Shu and Concubine Xian looked like a group, but in the face of interests, it was only a matter of time before they turned their backs, otherwise when she suggested that the four concubines take charge of palace affairs together, Concubine Xian Why didn't Concubine He Shu object?It's not because of seeing the benefits that are coming.

She was waiting for the moment when the three concubines fought to the death!

As for now, she can still handle it without paying too much attention to palace affairs, and she understands better than anyone else that palace affairs are not as important as the child in her womb, and she wants her to be delayed because of palace affairs The child in the womb is definitely a delusion.

The three of Yingchun left, and the atmosphere was not as intriguing as Concubine De had imagined, maybe it was because they hadn't reached that point yet!

However, Yingchun keeps aloof in many matters, so even if the noble concubine and Xian concubine are really torn apart because of certain things, Yingchun, a person who is not very competitive, probably won't focus on planning!

This is also a good thing for Yingchun!

Back in the Changle Palace, Liu Yun and the others rushed to rest for the servants to welcome the spring. Pregnant people are especially prone to fatigue, let alone attend a palace banquet from beginning to end.

"Your Majesty, you should take a rest!" Liu Yun persuaded.

"Well, after arranging the palace affairs, I will rest." Yingchun said, after arranging the affairs, she can raise her baby with peace of mind. "Where's Mother Wei? Let her come to see Ben Gong."

This nurse Wei is the one who was bestowed on her by the emperor before. Since she came to Changle Palace, she has done her best in everything. As far as Yingchun knows, this nurse Wei has never been to the emperor since she came to Changle Palace. The news of her was delivered there, as if it was exactly as the emperor ordered, and from then on, she will serve Yingchun with all her heart.

Don't say that Nanny Wei used to be the emperor's servant, but now she is loyal to Yingchun, that is, she has always been the emperor's servant, and she is just putting on a show here in Yingchun, and Yingchun can rest assured that the palace affairs will be handed over to her.

"Wei Mama went to the storeroom to check what the mother and the slaves have prepared for the little prince, and the slaves are going to call Wei Momo." Liu Yun had already guessed what Yingchun meant.

After a while, Mother Wei and Liu Yun walked in with their heads bowed.

"Mother" Mother Wei saluted.

"Does Mammy know? The emperor handed over the palace power to our fourth concubine." Yingchun said.

Nanny Wei glanced across Yingchun's face, and seeing Yingchun's clear eyes, she knew that the empress was not fascinated by power.

"The empress said before that the emperor intends to hand over the palace power to the people in the harem."

"Well," Yingchun nodded and said, "Wei Mama, look at those account books and matching cards. Changle Gong Bengong will be responsible for those from now on."

After reading through carefully, Mother Wei saw neither joy nor anger, "Congratulations, empress. It's just that Empress Wanwang puts the baby in her womb at the top of her list."

"I know this, so I called you here. You know, I'm pregnant, so it's not good to be distracted by palace affairs. Fortunately, the emperor gave you to me. You have been in the palace for many years, and you are the emperor. The capable people around you are well-informed, and I am very relieved to entrust these palace affairs that should have been in charge of me to you."

After obtaining the palace power, Yingchun immediately thought of a solution, and asked Mother Wei to take charge of it for her, and then slowly sort out the palace power after she gave birth to a child.

"Yes, I will obey your mother's orders. However, I'm afraid I'm too busy alone, can Liu Yun and Liu Su help the old slave?" Wei Mama is a smart person, and she also knows what Yingchun means, so she doesn't refuse.

However, the empress valued and trusted her so much, she was willing to reciprocate and teach Liu Yun and others for the empress.The maids brought into the palace by the empress are first-class in loyalty and dexterous in mind, but what they lack is precisely some experience that she is best at.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yingchun's mouth, Mother Wei always knew what she needed most at the moment, and she was bound to intervene in palace affairs in the future, how could the maids around her not understand this?

"Please Madam, Liuyun and Liusu, since Madam Wei doesn't dislike you, you two should learn from Madam Lu," Yingchun said.

"Yes, thank you Mammy." Liu Yun and Liu Su, who were not ignorant, quickly expressed their thanks.

Not long after the palace banquet ended, the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion entered the palace again. First, they had just learned that Yingchun was pregnant. Think about it, the child in Yingchun's womb was the heir of the emperor, the heir of the Jia family. , the whole Rongguo Mansion was overjoyed, especially Mrs. Jia and Jia She, so they specially prepared a lot of precious things for Yingchun.

Yingchun didn't refuse either, if the item was too precious, she would just reward it with a batch of the same precious item.

Another point is that Wang Xifeng specially reported that Lin Ruhai had already returned to Beijing, so Lin Daiyu was taken to the Lin Mansion, but would return to Rongguo Mansion to stay for a few days every now and then.

What's more, that is Yingchun's sister, Yichun, who is not Yingchun's own sister, but a cousin. After the third master returned to Beijing, the elder explained the matter in detail, and assigned Yichun from the concubine of the big house to the concubine. According to the genealogy of the eldest daughter of the third family, Yichun moved to honor the third master because she was worried that the third master was alone. Yichun, like Sister Lin, would make an appointment to come to Rongguo Mansion for a few days when she was free. Looking for sisters and sisters to play.

Wang Xifeng knew that Yingchun had always liked these younger sisters in the mansion, so whenever these girls had something to do, they must talk about it in front of Yingchun.

Yingchun nodded, it's good to be able to get together with father and daughter, after all, they are father and daughter.

"Ma'am, this is something sent by the third master and the young master of the Lin family. I specially asked my courtier's wife to bring it in." Wang Xifeng held two wooden boxes and pointed to Yingchun one by one.

Yingchun frowned, not because the gifts from these two families were inappropriate, but because they were too precious!

The gifts from these two families were almost as good as the dowry that Yingchun brought when she first entered the palace.

"It's too precious!" Yingchun said.

"I want to report to Madam, the Elder Master also said it was too precious, but the Third Master and Uncle Lin insisted, saying that Madam's kindness should be rewarded naturally, and if Madam does not accept it, they would be concerned about it instead. So the Master made the decision to accept it, saying I would like to ask your mother to take care of Yichun and Sister Lin more in the future, and the kindness of the third master and Uncle Lin will not be in vain."

"Ben are sisters, and besides, I have always liked these younger sisters, so I should take care of them, that's all, let's not be an example!" Yingchun said.

"Yes, I will tell you when I get back." Wang Xifeng said, she is a delicate person, knowing that Yingchun might be unhappy, she explained, "Don't worry, Madam, it is the third master and uncle Lin's house, and there is a reason, And it was the first time that the master took these things for the empress, like the Wang family, the Shi family and the Xue family, they also wanted to give filial piety to the empress, but the master excused that the empress had ordered it, and the palace had its own rules , the family does not need to send money and other things to the palace, I refused!"

Only then did Yingchun show a bit of a smile. It was very appropriate for the elder to act like this. The Rongguo Mansion has relatives with the historians, the Wang family, and the Xue family. It seems that she, concubine Shu, is the support of the four families.

It is also because I have relatives with those three families. If the three families have any difficulties and ask her here, if it is reasonable, it is feasible to help. This kind of leisure is the duty of not helping each other.

When Wang Xifeng and others left the palace, Yingchun specially selected some precious and symbolic jewelry from her own, and asked Wang Xifeng to bring them to Yichun and sister Lin. Of course, Tanchun and Xichun also had them.

The days of nesting in Changle Palace to raise a baby are very leisurely. With the capable Nanny Wei around, although she has taken over some of the palace affairs, Yingchun can still eat, drink, bask in the sun in an orderly manner, and let the palace be full of wind and clouds.

Sometimes, Nanny Wei, Liu Yun and the others would pick some interesting things in the palace and tell Yingchun, so as to relieve Yingchun's boredom.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the sky was blue at a glance. With such a fine weather, people's moods would involuntarily improve.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go out for a walk?" Liu Yun asked.

Because Mother Wei said before, when the fetus is stable, it is better for the adults to walk more, and it is also good for the adults to exercise, so that the birth of the baby will be more secure. From time to time, I persuade Yingchun to move around more.

Even if it is for anti-pregnancy, you can't just stay in this small Changle Palace. A world that is too small can easily make people feel depressed, especially for pregnant women.

As for the safety issue, they are naturally fully prepared.

"Well, let's go to the Royal Garden." Yingchun agreed, she had been staying at home for almost half a month, and it was time to go for a walk.

"Yes, I will make arrangements now, servant girl." Liu Yun replied and turned around to make arrangements.

After studying with Madam Wei for so long, Liu Yun and the others already know how to eliminate dangers. For example, now, they will scout out the place where the empress is going to go, and only let the empress go out after there is nothing wrong.

Of course, this is not enough. To ensure nothing goes wrong when the empress travels, she must bring enough maids and eunuchs around her. There must be people guarding the front, back, left, and right sides, surrounding the empress, plus various investigations and follow-ups. Only then did they feel at ease and let the empress go for a walk in the imperial garden.

So strictly guarding against the afterlife, unless the emperor does it himself, otherwise they believe that it can guard against all concubines.

Of course, there is the most important point, every time Yingchun goes out for a walk, Mother Wei will definitely stay by her side every step of the way.
