[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

Chapter 258

Today, there are still three missing concubines of the first rank, and all the concubines below the first rank are vacant. " Yingchun said.

The harem of the current emperor is in stark contrast to the harem of other emperors. In the harem of other emperors, if you want to be promoted to the position of concubine, you need to consider that there is no place for it. After all, the position in the harem is also a radish and a pit. There is a rule, but today, the problem is that no one can seal the position.

This is probably the reason why the harem struggles of other emperors are particularly fierce, because if the concubines below want to be promoted, they must kill someone above them to have a position for them. At the same time, there are many people who are staring at a certain position. , no wonder you want to fight to the death.

"Let's leave the position of first-rank concubine empty. If you want to promote a woman to be a first-rank concubine in the future palace, you must make great achievements." The emperor said.

"Why did you suddenly make such a rule?" Yingchun asked, "But what do you say?"

Doesn't the emperor think that the status of a first-class concubine is a bit high?

"If you can be named a concubine as soon as you enter the palace, then if you make great achievements in the future, how will you be rewarded? Isn't there nothing to seal?" the emperor said.

For the concubine, what is a great achievement?However, the rule set by the emperor was in her favor, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"What position does the emperor think should be given to the Chen family?" Yingchun asked, after all, the entry of the Chen family into the palace has political significance.

"Just look at it, as long as you can get by." The emperor said without objection.

"Then give it to a lady of the second rank?" Yingchun said.

"Too high." The emperor disagreed.

"Then from the concubine of the second rank, if it's lower, I'm afraid it's hard to say." Yingchun suggested that when the Chen family entered the palace, I don't know how many people watched it. If it is too low, it will make people think too much.

"Where's the Wu family? Why don't you give me a concubine as well!" Yingchun said.For the sake of the overall situation, she is willing to give a high position, but the corresponding balance still needs to be done.

Still the same sentence, the most taboo thing in the harem is to stand out. As a queen, she needs to let all the flowers in the harem bloom, so she can do well in this post.

"Just do as you say!" The emperor did not object.

"Then the status of Feng, Ding and others..." Yingchun was interrupted just as she was about to say.

"You decide on your own, and by the way, arrange the palace after they enter the palace. After it is done, draw up the imperial decree as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will bestow marriages to the royal family and clan members. This canonized decree must be issued tonight." The emperor reminded.

"Okay! But I have to trouble the emperor to think about what titles these two concubines use?" Yingchun reminded, she really didn't want to help others draw up titles.

"Just 'Zhuang' and 'Cheng'!" The emperor randomly chose.

"Okay, then the Chen family will live in the Changchun Palace as the second-rank concubine Zhuang.

The Wu family became a concubine from the second grade and lived in Yongshou Palace.

The Feng family is the third-rank noble concubine and lives in the side hall of Chang'an Palace.

The Ding family is Jieyu of the third rank, and lives in the side hall of Chang'an Palace.

Mrs. Ye is a concubine of the fifth rank, and Mrs. Zeng is a beauty of the sixth rank, living together in the side hall of Chang'an Palace. "

Because Yingchun was thinking about sister Lin's being given marriages, she quickly arranged the positions and residences of the six people.

"Dai Cheng, according to what the queen just said, go draw up an order." The emperor ordered.

"Yes"

"I know you're concerned about the marriage of your four younger sisters. I've already made plans. Take a look." The brocade box on the emperor's table was handed to Yingchun, and when Yingchun opened it, she saw four copies of the imperial decree lying inside.

With the joy of Yingchun, I opened and watched one by one, and it was exactly as I asked before.

The marriage between Xichun and Tanchun was personally chosen by Yingchun. One was from a clan with a title, and the other was a promising person with a bright future, but Yingchun did not attract too much attention.

Sister Lin was given a marriage to one of Lin Ruhai's disciples surnamed Jiang.

Yingchun heard from Tanchun that this person was from an innocent family but his parents died early, he was trained by Lin Ruhai himself, his character is absolutely fine, and he learned from others at a young age, and now he is already a juren.I heard that when Lin Ruhai talked about marriage back then, this person said that Lin Ruhai's kindness of adoption and education would be unrepayable. He would like to join the Lin family and become the Lin family. He only asked Lin Ruhai for permission. His surname is Jiang, which can be regarded as his living up to his parents' kindness in raising them.

After Lin Ruhai thought about it deeply, he rejected his disciple's marriage and let Lin Daiyu marry him, but the second son he gave birth to would be adopted by the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai's actions can be regarded as farsighted, and there is such a person selected by his father who will definitely not treat sister Lin badly. Moreover, according to Lin Ruhai's means, I am afraid that he will not leave behind.

As for Yichun's marriage, the third uncle, out of consideration for Yichun's younger sister's character, chose the husband-in-law for her as the eldest son of Li Tao, the head of Jinling Mountain Spirit Academy. Without any interest, every successful Li family member will devote himself to Shanling Academy and start teaching and educating people.

Fortunately, teaching and educating people in this era is a noble and noble job, because it has taught many talented people. Shanling Academy is well-known throughout Daqin. Correspondingly, the Li family is quite famous among scholars. have status.

Yingchun was grateful in her heart, got up and bowed in a serious manner, "The concubine thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the four younger sisters of the concubine."

Yingchun used to be a red fan, liked the girls in the red building, and was sad for their final ending, but now, it is finally different.

Sister Lin was protected by her own father, and she also had a wishful husband personally selected by Lin Ruhai. The sister Lin who died of tears in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Red Mansion was just a story she had heard.

Sister Tanchun also has her own goal of struggle. She is no longer the poor person whose family was ruined and married in tears during the Qingming Festival.Sister Xichun also has her own destination, not using the green lamp and ancient Buddha for a lifetime, and there is Yichun who has never appeared in her previous life.

These excellent and painful girls finally have a direction that may lead to happiness. As for the future, no matter how bad it is, as the elder sister, she can protect them from being bullied.

Originally, Yingchun wanted to wait for the decree of the marriage to be delivered to her four younger sisters, but she and the emperor arranged for the concubine to enter the palace, and the empress stayed in Fengzao Palace, Yingchun finally had no time to make arrangements .

The next day, when Yingchun woke up, it was already dawn.

"Why is it so late?" Yingchun asked in surprise.

"Where's Huan'er?" Yingchun asked quickly.

Although Ding'er has moved to the Crown Prince's East Palace, Huan'er is still young and has always lived in Fengzao Palace with Yingchun, and Huan'er is a person who gets up early and makes troubles. At this time, Huan'er should have rushed to the palace to look for her. Queen Mother.

"Young lady, don't worry, the second prince was taken away by the emperor." Seeing Yingchun's expression, Xiuju hurriedly explained.

"It's this time, why didn't you wake me up?" Yingchun asked.

The palace servants standing on the side all smiled in good faith. There was a thin-skinned one whose face was stained red, but embroidered orange. He had experienced a lot, so it was an explanation that his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"The slaves originally planned to call the empress, but the emperor said that the empress was tired last night, so he asked the empress to sleep more, and did not let the servants wake the empress. Moreover, the emperor was afraid that the second prince would wake up and clamor for the empress, so he went The side hall took away the sleeping Second Prince."

Now, Yingchun's face was dyed red, this emperor, why did he say anything!

"The emperor still loves the empress as always." Xiuju laughed.

"Okay, let's wait for Ben Gong to get up and make up." Yingchun said.

"Yes"

Xiuju said hello, and the palace servants came forward with the clothes they picked out yesterday. After Yingchun finished changing, another line of palace servants came forward to serve Yingchun to wash and wash. The palace people sent out.

Xiutong tied her hair for Yingchun. Seeing that Yingchun was wearing comfortable uniforms, she knew that the empress would not be leaving Fengzao Palace today, so she neatly tied a light and comfortable bun for Yingchun. Looking at the bare bun with no accessories, Xiutong asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to wear the phoenix hairpin sent by the emperor a few days ago?"

"No, let's match that phoenix hairpin when I wear a fancy dress that day!" Yingchun refused.

Yingchun opened the jewelry box on the table, flipped through it and took out a simple one, saying, "Wear this."

"Yes"

After Xiutong put on the hairpin for her, Yingchun looked in the mirror. The person in the mirror had a ruddy complexion and a fair complexion. I quite like this change.

After Yingchun finished her dressing and had her breakfast, the palace servants reported that it was Ye Liangdi and Zeng Meiren's sedan chairs that had entered Chang'an Palace.

Yingchun ordered, "Take good care of Ye Liangdi and Zeng Meiren, and assign the maids who should be distributed to them immediately, and there must be no shortage of rations."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves are watching, everything is guaranteed to be done properly, no one can criticize." Xiuju said reassuringly.

"Well, although the results of the first draft hosted by this palace have come to fruition, it is not over until the selected show girls are safely moved into the palace."

"Yes, empress, don't worry, the slaves are watching!"

When delivering the decree to the awarded ladies, they start from the high position, for example, this time it is Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Cheng, then Concubine Feng, then Ding Jieyu, and finally Ye Liangdi Zeng Meiren, but the one who entered the palace The order is completely reversed, as if the small dishes are served first and then the big ones, from low to high, first is Zeng Meiren Ye Liangdi, then Ding Jieyu, Feng Guipin, and finally Zhuang Concubine Chengfei.

Ye Liangdi and Zeng Meiren have entered the palace, but as long as the emperor does not allow them to attend bed, they are not eligible to come to Fengzao Palace to pay their respects.

Yes, the ancients paid attention to morning and evening, and the younger generation must abide by it in front of the elders, and the concubine must also abide by it in front of the main house.Previously, because there were not many concubines in the palace, there was almost only one concubine Xian left after Yingchun, and because Yingchun was not in good health since she was named empress, and Concubine Xian was almost under confinement and could not easily leave Changning Palace. Morning and evening meditation is the same as falsehood.

But with Yingchun's body recovering and subsequent concubines entering the palace, this rule still needs to be established.

One day was spent teaching Suan'er how to read by Yingchun, and when it was almost time for dinner, Yingchun saw that the emperor had come to Fengzao Palace again.

Yingchun smiled in surprise, "Huan'er went to look for Ding'er, and this concubine is thinking that I'm going to use it alone tonight!"

"Knowing that you are alone, I came here specially to have dinner with you." The emperor smiled.

"Oh, the emperor has clairvoyance. Huan'er just left, the emperor knew about it and rushed to Fengzao Palace immediately." Yingchun said with a smile.

The leg has its own consciousness and wants to go this way, and he doesn't want to force himself to change, what can he do, he can only come.

"No, after leaving Daming Palace and passing through Jiaotai Palace, isn't it your Fengzao Palace? I can hear the sound of your Fengzao Palace closing when I rest in Daming Palace at night."

"The concubine would like to thank the emperor for choosing such a good place for the concubine. As a thank you, the concubine invites the emperor to taste the peach blossom wine newly brewed by the concubine this year."

"Okay, but I'm the only one drinking, you watch."

"Your Majesty!" Yingchun exclaimed unyieldingly.

"Just pretend I don't know what kind of idea you have." The emperor was very happy with Yingchun.

"The courtiers don't drink it, it's up to you, the emperor, how you can drink it alone."

"Although it's boring, it's still very interesting to think that you brewed the wine yourself." Said that when he sat down, the emperor was unwilling to fulfill his wish of welcoming the spring.

The palace people quickly and orderly set the meal, and the meal was very quiet. After dinner, the emperor and Yingchun sat on the couch with a bowl of tea to enjoy the coolness and gossip. Yingchun also expressed the idea that he had thought about for a long time.
