Chapter 133
"The emperor intends to confer the harem this year?" Yun Guo raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Linzi, "When and where did you hear this news?"
Xiao Linzi thought for a while and said: "The servant heard the news from Chengqian Palace this morning. I went to inquire later, and it seems that it has spread all over the harem."
"Does that mean everyone else knows about this?" Yun Guo asked.
Xiao Linzi nodded: "It should be that when the servant went to inquire about the news, there were already people talking about who could be a concubine."
Glancing at Yun Guo, Xiao Linzi said cautiously: "Everyone is optimistic about Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Borzigit and Concubine Hesheli."
As for Yun Guo, because of his poor family background, not many people are optimistic about it. Daqing is all about family background.
Yun Guo was not too upset when she heard the words, because many people didn't know that there were rumors in the previous life before the emperor sealed the harem in the 20th year of Kangxi, and few people were optimistic about Wu Ya's family, but in the end Wu Ya's family fell below everyone's glasses. In order to become the fourth concubine, it made people deeply jealous.
Now these people in the imperial palace still have some habitual thinking, that is: for concubines in the harem, family background is greater than grace.
After all, there are living examples in front of the front. Among the concubines of the late emperor, the last concubine who was canonized and had children was only Concubine Ningmi, the forehead of Prince Yu Fuquan. She has been a concubine all her life.
And those with rich family backgrounds were canonized even if they had no children. For example, the younger sister of the empress dowager was honored as concubine Huang Kao Shuhui.This is especially the case with Taizong and Taizu's harem.
But these people don't know that times have changed!
Family background can't be said to be unimportant, but it is no longer the decisive factor. Whether you can be in the top position depends on the emperor's favor.
Otherwise, no matter how good the family background is, it is just like the concubine Xuan in her previous life. She was a concubine all her life and finally won a consolation prize.
Of course, Wu Ya's being able to become the fourth concubine in her previous life was not just because she was favored. Apart from the fact that she gave birth to a good son, the emperor probably had the idea of letting Wu Ya's fill the fourth concubine's position because she didn't want other people to be in power.
Seeing Yun Guo's silence, Sumei who was at the side said worriedly: "Master, how can you believe the rumors in the harem." But she couldn't say that the emperor would make Yun Guo a concubine.
Yun Guo came back to her senses when she heard the words, smiled and shook her head and said, "I'm fine." Touching her stomach, "It doesn't count who says whoever is named concubine. You're welcome, the empress dowager and the master have both said it." It doesn’t count, it only counts if the emperor says it.”
Hearing that Sumei and the others were even more worried, Yunguo's words had already expressed her thoughts, and she still hoped that the emperor would grant her a promotion.
But now it has always been cruel, not to mention other people, even they who are Yunguo's slaves, although they hope for their master's good, but they also have doubts about whether the master can be a concubine.
Yun Guo didn't seem to notice the expressions and eyes of these people, "The last time there was a rumor that the emperor was going to confer the harem, something happened. I am pregnant now, and the sixth elder brother is still young. Be careful and don't let anyone catch you."
"Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely protect the master and the sixth elder brother." Sumei and others said.
Rubbing her stomach, Yun Guo seemed to be talking to herself or deliberately speaking to the servants below, "No matter what happens outside, the baby in my womb and brother six are the most important things."
Sumei and the others were shocked when they heard the words, yes, so what if they can't be named concubines?
Yun Guo is still the forehead of the prince, and if he is inferior, it depends on the target.
In fact, to be honest, even if Yunguo is a concubine Yi now, in fact, in general, no matter what others think or Yunguo herself, when facing Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and others, she will feel a little short, and her confidence is somewhat lacking. Big things cannot be backed down.
Therefore, the biggest impact of being a concubine or not is not that others, Gao Yunguo, have the suppression of status.It's because Yunguo might not be able to become the lord of the Yonghe Palace.
In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, the master of the first palace is equivalent to a large housekeeper under the empress, in charge of the affairs of the first palace.
Although he can't interfere with other palace affairs and affairs of other palaces, he is the boss in this palace where he lives.
Personnel, finance, diplomacy... It can be said that they are all in the hands of the lord of the first house.
Why in the previous life, Yunguo was suppressed by Concubine Hui to death, but Concubine Wu Ya could suppress Zhang Jia, Wang, Chen and others who lived in Yonghe Palace by herself.
Concubine Rong has long been out of favor, and she can still suppress the low-ranking concubines of Zhongcui Palace from stepping on her head.
There is also the concubine Dong, who has long since fallen out of favor, has no children, and her family background is not as good as many people, but she can still sit firmly as a concubine.
This is not to say that their family backgrounds are good. It makes sense that the emperor’s favored concubines are all men and women in clothes. After all, the harem depends more on means. Family background only makes you start a little higher, but it is not a decisive factor. The real reason is because they are the lords of the first house.
It is true that according to the palace rules, a concubine can also be the head of the first palace, but this requires the emperor or empress to speak.It's not as legitimate as a concubine, and it doesn't matter if the emperor or queen speaks.
Just like now, all the concubines live in the side hall instead of the main hall as in the previous life.
The reason is that in the previous life, the empress moved into the Kunning Palace, and then the emperor moved his favorite concubine Yi to the Yikun Palace to live in the main hall.
But now, the emperor and the queen don't make a decree, no one dares to live in the main hall by themselves, even if they have the qualifications, they don't have the guts.
So now, apart from the Queen and Concubine Tong, there is no other master of the harem.
Regarding the concubine concubine, to be honest, Yunguo is not very sure, unlike the rescue before, that no matter who rescues her successfully, she can be promoted to the concubine.In the matter of concubine concubine, heirs and family background are only prerequisites, and more depends on the emperor's will.
As for the emperor, in his previous life, Yunguo also had a girl pray at the beginning, but in the end he saw through it, and the emperor took many things very seriously.
Favoring is one thing, status is another, offspring is another, and family background is another.
Connected, but not connected.
Although she is a little uneasy because of this, Yunguo is still stable overall. For her, other ways to increase the capital of the concubine are not as good as the child she is pregnant with, and she is currently protecting her stomach It is the most important thing for this child to protect the sixth brother.
For the others, I can only resign myself to fate, and I am lucky to lose my life.
??
Many people thought that Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi would definitely be promoted this time, but in fact, the three of them were not as confident as others, and were even a little worried.
The queen didn't reveal it. This time it might be the fifth concubine. In fact, even if she revealed it, it would not reduce some people's anxiety, but it would increase it.
Because, who said that the emperor must fill the book of concubines?
It means that it is not certain that no concubine will be canonized this time.
After all, the last time a single concubine was not canonized, and it only took a few years, except for the concubine Yi who gave birth to a son, what is the difference from before?It was even worse than before, at least for Hui Concubine.
Based on her current situation, Concubine Hui didn't think she could be a concubine at all. Fortunately, she still has a son and a family.
After sending the news out of the palace, concubine Hui asked Yinti, the elder brother who came to pay his respects after much difficulty, to make him live up to his spirit and to be valued and appreciated by the emperor.
Now Concubine Hui can only count on her son and family
The.
Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi did similar things, as well as the concubine Hesheli, and some concubines who wanted to give it a go.
Just when the concubines in the harem were attracted by the news that "the emperor is going to confer the harem" and started to take active actions secretly, a big news broke out in Changchun Palace.
It wasn't that Concubine Yi had a miscarriage, but concubine Guo Luoluo's two-month pregnancy!
Calculating the time, Yipin was pregnant and the Empress went to visit her, and by the way, she was resting at the Concubine Guo Luoluo's place.
As soon as this news came out, an unknown number of people in the harem almost gritted their teeth.
Fifth!
Sister Guo Luoluo is pregnant with her fifth child!
This makes some concubines in the harem who can't even ask for a child, how can they not be jealous?
Especially when the emperor intends to canonize the harem.
There are not many people who can guess the emperor's mind, but as for the promotion of the harem, anyone who is not a fool can think of it. Having an elder brother will definitely increase the chance of being promoted.
In the past, the Changchun Palace and the Yonghe Palace shared the pressure, but now the Changchun Palace can be regarded as thriving. Who made people have two pregnant women.
If Yunguo used to have the spirit of going to the theater, but now Yunguo can't care about sisters Guo Luoluo anymore. After four months of pregnancy, Yunguo's stomach is already bulging, and she looks like she is five years pregnant. Like six months.
"Doctor Lin, how are you?" Yun Guo asked nervously.
Imperial physician Lin withdrew his hand, cupped his hands to the emperor beside him with joy and said: "My minister congratulates the emperor, congratulations to concubine Yi, concubine Yi's concubine has double happiness pulses."
That is twins.
"Good!" The emperor was overjoyed, "There are rewards, there are rewards."
Liang Jiugong, Sumei and other servants at the side all knelt down to congratulate the emperor, and then retreated sensiblely, leaving the room to the emperor and Yunguo.
The emperor hugged Yun Guo cautiously, stroked Yun Guo's pregnant belly with his hands, and said with a happy face: "My concubine is relieved now."
"With Imperial Physician Lin, my concubine will feel much more at ease." Of course Yun Guo would not throw cold water on the emperor without a face at this time.
"Don't worry, just take good care of your baby. I see that your little face has become thinner."
Yun Guo couldn't help but pouted when she heard the words: "The concubine has gained a lot of weight, the emperor should not make the concubine happy."
She really gained a lot of weight, perhaps because she was pregnant with two children. Yun Guo has a particularly big appetite recently and eats a lot.Pregnant women can't do any exercise, how can they not be fat.
"Fat, I like it too."
Oh, Yun Guo scoffed in her heart, this is
The craziest thing she's ever heard.
The author has something to say: PS: A little angel said that the queen is more eye-catching than the heroine. I exaggerated it too much. Otherwise, in my heart, a queen from the Niuhulu clan can be so powerful.
Empress Xiaozhaoren's reign was too short. Apart from proposing to build a family temple, there is nothing to be found.
My description of her is more derived from the various operations and IQ and EQ of the Niu Hulu queens in the Qing Dynasty.
Let’s not talk about Qianlong’s mother, it’s all about blood and son, even so, Concubine Xi was able to protect Qianlong from growing up, and during the Yongzheng period, everyone ignored the fifth elder brother Hong Zhou who was a few months younger than his son , it can be seen that there are still means.Empress Xiao Mucheng died before her husband succeeded to the throne, and there are not many historical materials, so I won't talk about it.
Let’s talk about the two queens who were born in the Niu Hulu family who have been in power for more than ten years—Empress Xiaoherui and Empress Xiaozhenxian (Empress Dowager Ci’an).
Empress Xiao and Rui, after becoming the successors, could accommodate the eldest son born to the Empress Yuan, and finally let the eldest son succeed her instead of her own son. She has two biological sons.
Letting the eldest son succeed to the throne may be due to the situation, but being able to accommodate the eldest son who lost his mother for more than 20 years is definitely a proof of her mind.
Among other things, look at Huang Taiji's harem. After the death of the Yuan concubine Niu Hulu, her son died within a few years.
For a full 20 years, I don't believe that Xiao Xiao and Empress Rui couldn't find a chance to make a move.
Don't say that Empress Xiao and Rui are timid and fearful, she is not timid. On September 18th, [-]th year of Jiaqing, Emperor Jiaqing held Mulan Autumn Festival at the Summer Resort. At nine o'clock in the morning, dozens of gangsters with weapons rushed into the palace. .
It is the famous "Tianli believers broke the palace".At that time, Emperor Jiaqing was not in the palace, and it was Empress Xiao and Rui who presided over the arrest and interrogation of the gangsters without fear.
So I wrote that Empress Xiaozhao could accommodate Concubine Tong's son, and Horqin's Borzigit family was canonized as a concubine, which is not an exaggeration.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager Ci'an, with her around for a day, Cixi didn't make any big waves, and only after her death did Cixi dare to mess around.
Killing Cixi's confidant eunuch An Dehai, Cixi could only admit it no matter how upset she was, and had to put on a smile and say that Ci'an did the right thing.
As the empress of Tongzhi, Cixi wanted to choose the famous Fucha family [one is to consolidate the throne of Tongzhi, and the other is to distribute Ci'an's power in the harem. ], but Ci'an disagreed, and Cixi had no choice but to let her family background be mediocre in the end.
It was Ci'an's aunt and niece Arute who became the queen, which shows her methods.
Whether it is to balance the court officials and Cixi, to win over Tongzhi and Guangxu, and to leave a good name behind him, Ci'an's methods are obviously very clever, firmly occupying the "di", and Cixi is so powerful. There is no way to take her down everywhere.
If Ci'an hadn't been sick [Ci'an had always been sick, she had it when she was the empress, and there are related medical records, so she died of illness, not Cixi's murder. ], died early, and Cixi would not dare to do that later.
I even think that part of the reason why Cixi is so unscrupulous in the back is that she was suppressed too much by Ci'an before. Tongzhi Guangxu and the courtiers all favored Ci'an, so the revenge was crazy later.
Judging from the two queens, Niu Hulu's queen is of high quality, with good EQ, IQ, and skills.
Of course, the concubine of the Niu Hulu clan still has means, low IQ, poor EQ, and stupid, but that kind of person has long been cold.
But those who achieved the Queen's position had good means.I wrote Empress Xiao Zhaoren according to Empress Xiao Herui and Empress Xiao Zhenxian.
In addition, Empress Xiao Quancheng, who can be regarded as the most powerful concubine in the Qing Dynasty, is not a descendant of Empress Xiaozhao's family, nor is she a distant relative, but it just happens to have the same surname.
