[Red House] Lixian

The harem was canonized wildly, and even several Jieyu were promoted to concubines, but why didn't Wei Qian's name come down?

In the harem, everyone muttered to themselves.

The empress is unwilling to have one more noble daughter, and Concubine Wu Gui is not happy to have one more enemy. Even the newly promoted virtuous concubine Yuan Chun has complicated thoughts about her cousin.Back then, she had spent a lot of effort to get from the empress to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Later, she tried her best to fight for favor, and revealed a secret about the previous dynasty, so she became the current concubine.But her cousin doesn't have to do anything, just come up in one breath?

Jia Yuanchun was naturally unwilling.Not to mention the noble concubine, the position of any official concubine is enough to surpass that of the de concubine.Therefore, she also blew the pillow wind in Emperor Shunde's ear.

Situ Yun was blocked by the Minister of Rites and others in the previous dynasty. The ministers refused to give her a high position in the name of Wei Qian's previous engagement.In particular, Old Wu Ge was unwilling to face the cunning opponent of Jinling County Lord with his granddaughter.It is very important to give Wei Qian a big blow when she enters the palace, and keep her status lowered, preferably Jieyu or Cairen.

"Jinling County has four ranks in the main rank. Now entering the palace can be promoted to the first rank, and the palace is Jieyu. But she has been kind to His Majesty in the past, and can be pardoned to be the only one in charge of the palace."

The concubine system of this dynasty is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.Except for one empress, there are only four concubines and nine concubines who have a fixed number, and other Jieyu talents have no fixed number, and they are registered at will.

When a Jieyu enters the palace, how can there be a storm?

But Situ Yun refused to do so, and the two argued endlessly.As the emperor, Situ Yun personally experienced the taboo of the emperors in the past.

"Old Wu Ge has gone through three dynasties, and now he is the head of a hundred officials. He has too much power. If it weren't for the six ministries to check and balance, I am afraid that he would really have the power of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!" Situ Yun held back his anger.

After returning to the Zichen Palace, someone close to him came to report: "Today the Lord of Jinling County entered the palace, and secretly ordered the villain to deliver a plate."

So, the eunuch presented the plate that Wei Qian gave him when he entered the palace.

Seeing the plate, Situ Yun understood Wei Qian's thoughts, and casually took a Yunshan inkstone from the table to him: "You send this to the county lord, and tell her to rest assured."

This eunuch was one of the servants in Zichen Palace, he didn't understand what the two nobles were going to play, so he honestly reported back with the inkstone.

At this time, Wei Qian entered the palace to chat with the old lady.As we talked, we talked about the custom of outing on the Shangsi Festival.

"In these years in the palace, I seldom have the opportunity to go outside to play, let alone the habit of going out and eating green during the Shangsi Festival."

"A few days ago, I was walking around the Imperial Garden, and I saw that the Imperial Garden is not too small. If the empress is willing, why not set up a lawn in the Imperial Garden, carefully trim it, and prepare for spring outing?" Wei Qian pinched her fingers and said, "Do the math." Days, the beginning of spring has passed, and it’s time for everything to recover. Just tidy up the lawn, find someone to weave a few kites, and then find a few palace people to fly the kites. If you have the conditions, you might as well recall the food you used to eat when you were young, Shangsi Get ready for the festival."

Empress Dowager Chen recalled when she was young: "The Shangsi Festival is not too late now. I remember that when I was young, I had to eat green vegetables, spread pancakes, wash and bathe during the Shangsi Festival. There are too many rules. After a little time, I will spend a whole morning. It’s over. In the afternoon, I was flying kites with a few sisters. How are you doing in Jinling?”

"Almost, the world is different. Nowadays, men and women are more important. During the Shangsi Festival, only a few little sisters will pack a mountain together, then eat Qibao rice, fly kites, and sometimes need to offer incense to ancestors. It should be in various places. Are the customs different?"

Empress Dowager Chen pondered, and said with a smile: "It happens that there are still some days left. You can fly a kite with me during the Shangsi Festival this year. By the way, call the queen and the others. If your majesty is willing, you can also find them. Our own family Play by yourself, even if you want to come to those censors, you can't say anything."

The meaning in the words is clear, Wei Qian will be allowed to enter the palace before the Shangsi Festival.

"Now the etiquette has been prepared by the Ministry of Rituals, and you and Yun'er's marriage can be arranged later." Empress Dowager Chen smiled, and Wei Qian entered the palace. She secretly inserted eight dowry Baolin and eight dowry daughters.In other words, including Wei Qian, a total of 17 people entered the palace.Even if you don't take it as an elective, you can enrich the harem and let Situ Yun flourish as soon as possible.

This is the top priority right now.

Spring is the season of hair growth, and the Shangsi Festival used to have the custom of reproduction and matchmaking.Maybe at that time, you can go to worship the gods so that Yun'er can give birth to a son.

Empress Dowager Chen thought of the peace in the harem, full of children and grandchildren, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Wei Qian blushed, and said softly, "Isn't it too early?"

"What's this early--" Empress Dowager Chen wanted to say something more, but suddenly the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiande has arrived."

"Concubine Xiande?" Empress Dowager Chen glanced at Wei Qian. "Your cousin is here, do you want to see her?"

"Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future." Wei Qian shook his head: "It is inconvenient for me to get involved in the affairs of the harem. Besides, I have to go to the Taiji Pavilion to study Daozang with the Emperor." So he stood up and resigned.

When Jia Yuanchun came in, Wei Qian bowed and bowed, but Jia Yuanchun saw Wei Qian's eyes lit up: "Your sister is here?" He said and went to hold Wei Qian's hand.

Wei Qian walked away without any trace, not wanting the queen mother to think that the two sisters were joining forces.After saluting cautiously, he said: "My sister still has to go to the Taiji Pavilion, so I don't want to disturb my sister to greet the Queen Mother."

After speaking, he left directly.

Jia Yuanchun's complexion changed, and his heart turned cold: You and I are cousins, and I intended to join hands with you to support you in the harem, but judging by your attitude, it's like this before you enter the palace. on the head?Thinking that Wei Qian's position has not yet been settled, she has an idea in her mind.

On the other side, Wei Qian left Ningshou Palace.Situ Yun sent someone to bring the inkstone, and relayed that sentence to Wei Qian.

"Reassure me? Does that mean he has an idea?"

"Forget it, since Your Majesty has already made a plan, I will wait and see." Ming Xiangling gave the reward, and went to the Tai Chi Pavilion to find the Supreme Emperor to discuss.

Not to mention, a few days ago, I went to the Supreme Emperor to study Daoism, and Wei Qian did gain a lot from enlightenment.

After discussing with the Supreme Emperor until the afternoon, Wei Qian left the palace and went home.

That night, Situ Yun came to Jia Yuanchun Palace to rest.Because of the affairs with the Queen Mother, Yuan Chun persuaded Wei Qian in the name of thinking about Wei Qian: "Cousin Wei first entered the palace, and she suddenly occupied a high position and attracted people's attention. What about the others?"

Emperor Shunde was leaning on the pillow, feeling a little tired at first, but suddenly cheered up and looked at Yuan Chun beside him.Yuanchun has been flattering for several years, but the charm still exists, which is just in line with the taste of Emperor Shunde.The emperor joked: "I also know about the harem dispute, but are you really not jealous?"

Yuan Chun had already grasped the context of Emperor Shunde, and pretended to sigh: "If you are not jealous, it is a lie, but the concubine has given her whole body and heart to your majesty, and only her majesty can have a concubine. If it wasn't for the help of my cousin in the past, your majesty will be in danger. Where are the rest of us in the harem? Cousin is not only His Majesty's benefactor, but also our benefactor."

Hearing Yuan Chun's words, Emperor Shunde's expression eased: "That's right, you still understand me! You are knowledgeable and reasonable, and the family style of Duke Rong is really good." Thinking of the Queen's solemnity, Emperor Shunde gradually became disgusted, and said to Yuan Chun: "If In your opinion, how do you deal with your cousin?"

Yuan Chun deliberately changed his posture, his fat was exposed, his face was rosy, his eyebrows were full of spring, full of provocative meaning: "I still want to have a double concubine, and I have no objection to my cousin being a concubine. It's just that I live above the concubine. It should be, after all, he has the function of saving his family. But after all, he is new here, why not start from the position of Ninth Concubine, and then find a way to gradually promote? The position of Ninth Concubine can also enter the palace with glory, and by the way, he can also go well with the Empress Dowager My heart, please bring more people in for His Majesty."

Another resistance in the harem to Wei Qian's entry into the palace is that the Empress Dowager Chen took this opportunity to select more female pickers to the palace to offset the inconvenience of canceling the draft.

Emperor Shunde's heart fluttered, and he got up and rushed forward: "That's right, it's not good to let your cousin overwhelm you from the beginning. If I don't think so, I will make Zhaoyi the head of the nine concubines."

As they said that, the two of them had another chatter.Seeing that Wei Qian's status is not higher than his own, Yuan Chun's eyes flashed a smug smile, bearing Situ Yun's torture with a smile, and mentioned one thing again: "My cousin is currently living in Wei's house. I think the Wei family has just moved to the capital. Where can I get her?" What kind of family background? My sister entered the palace as the ninth concubine. If she left from Wei's house, she would look ugly. I thought about it, so I might as well let my sister marry from Jia's mansion. Once there are all kinds of regulations in Jia's mansion, getting married Time is less troublesome. Secondly, my younger sister has always been loved by my grandfather, so it is better to marry in the name of Duke Rong than to marry from the Earl's Mansion of Weifu."

After saying this, Situ Yun put down his hands, and said in thought: "That's true, after all, Weifu's Xinjian is too small."

Jia Yuanchun was overjoyed, and after a few words of persuasion, he thought to himself: You and I are blood cousins ​​after all, and you don't want to form an alliance with me because you are worried that you will set up an enemy from the beginning and be dominated by me.But since you entered the palace from Jia's mansion, in the eyes of others, you and I are naturally both prosperous, how can you let me be separated from you and become another power?

"The concubine can talk to the grandmother and let the grandmother tidy up the Rongxi Hall for the younger sister to marry into the palace."

"No need. Why let the old matriarch handle it like this? Just let the Jinling County Lord marry from Ruiming Palace."

"Ruiming Palace is married?" Jia Yuanchun was taken aback and couldn't help crying out.

"Why, are you not happy?"

"No, I'm just happy for my younger sister. I didn't expect His Majesty to throw out the Ruiming Palace for her to use." Jia Yuanchun hurriedly smiled, as if to help Wei Qian happy. "I just don't know if it's in the side hall or..."

"Let's go from the side hall. After all, the main hall has to worry about the face of the Empress and Concubine Wu." Situ Yun also had his own plan to marry from Ruiming Palace.At that time, the palace examination can be carried out directly in Ruiming Palace, which can hide Wei Qian's physical illness.After all, Ruiming Palace is also a part of the imperial palace, so the palace inspection is justified here, isn't it?

The next day, Situ Yun issued an order to invite Wei Qian back to Ruiming Palace.Wei Qian immediately understood what Situ Yun meant, but she was speechless: no one would move here and there.From Jia's Mansion to Ruiming Palace, then to Wei's Mansion, and finally back to Ruiming Palace, I have been cleaning the house every day.

But moving to Ruiming Palace is better than going to Jia's Mansion, and this time only Wei Qian lived there by himself.This time I lived in the past, so I had to wait directly for the day of marriage.

Three matchmakers and six recruits are handled by the Ministry of Rites one by one, and Ruiming Palace and Daming Palace run at both ends.In another half a month, the Ruiming Palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red cloth was hung up.The pre-selected ladies from various families also entered Ruiming Palace to follow Wei Qian when she got married.

The Book of Songs is flirting, and the jade plate is sending messages. These two are tossing and tossing.It took several months to finally get Wei Qianan into the palace safely.

The two of them naturally didn't know that the coming and going of the two of them directly made marriage a custom for future generations.In the past, girls only needed to know a little female celebrity, but because of Situ Yun and Wei Qian.In the future, when a man proposes to give a dish from the Book of Songs, the woman needs to spoon the spoon herself to show her love.If the woman does not do it herself, then it means politely refusing.

So later, there was an extra spoon in the compulsory courses for women.But because of technical problems, when the dishes are delivered to the husband, many people will ask doctors for diagnosis and treatment.However, this kind of food that expresses the girl's heart must be eaten clean, and it also suffered from a large group of unmarried men.Women complain that they have an extra compulsory course, and men complain that they have an extra chance of getting sick and being hospitalized.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Wei Qian.It was only on the eighth day of February, the day before Wei Qian's big wedding, that Wei Qian quietly left Ruiming Palace, squeezed a handful of dirt outside the city and left quietly.
