I knew it was time to leave. It seems that more than 80 years of ups and downs of honor and disgrace are actually just vanity at the snap of a finger, and in the end, dust returns to dust, and dust returns to earth.

Flowers and ink, smiled and turned around, looking back at the past, the clouds and the breeze looked at the love and hatred in the vermilion wall, it turned out that I was also a back in this long history, a text in the history book......

I heard that the snow outside the window was beautiful, just like the first snow I had seen here, but it was rare to see it for the last time after being sick for a long time. The time to return is slowly approaching, and I can finally unload my burden and find my long-lost purity.

The consciousness gradually blurred, and only the people in their ears were left crying without knowing how true or not. I'm tired, I'm really tired, and I can't afford to pursue this truth anymore, after all, everyone has a way to survive, and this kind of hypocrisy is just to live, although hypocrisy, at least I can still live, and I have come step by step like this.

When he was dying, his body was getting lighter and lighter, and he seemed to be able to see the last smile on his lips on his old lips on the couch, and he could finally leave without any ties......

Time goes back - the winter of the fortieth year of Qing Kangxi

"Kangqian Shengshi", also known as "Kang Yongqian Shengshi", was a prosperous era under the early rule of the Qing Dynasty in China. It is the return of China's feudal society, and it is also the last prosperous era of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties. Emperor Kangxi reigned for sixty-one years, and in the first thirty-six years, he captured Aobai, leveled the three feudatories, unified Taiwan, expelled Tsarist Russia, and broke Dzungaria, bringing an era into its heyday.

After four years of recuperation after the war, the country's situation has entered an unprecedented good situation. The fifty-six-year-old Kangxi Emperor is gradually entering his twilight years, and the princes are all adults. Although the choice of the crown prince was decided early, the struggle for power will never end here, and factional struggles are on the verge of breaking out.

All this is just a game of the powerful, which has no effect on ordinary people, and living and working in peace and contentment is the greatest satisfaction for them.

The snow is very large, and the white expanse makes the world seem extraordinarily ethereal, as if the black and white ink is timeless and quiet.

A charcoal fire had already been lit in the house, and the warmth made people a little lazy. I half-leaned on the warm couch by the window, staring at the withered dead wood in the courtyard through the window, and my thoughts drifted with the snow outside the window to another world parallel to this era.

Geng Wenyang - my name in this era, born in the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, it is said that there were very beautiful colored clouds in the sky when I was born, and my father hoped that his daughter would not be as weak as ordinary women, and hoped to be as tough and independent as the poplar outside the Saiwai.

I can't remember how I came to this era, but the moment I opened my eyes, a flash appeared in my mind - parallel time and space.

Maybe this is the only hint that fate has given me, but this hint is too profound to explain in one sentence. But because of this flash of thought, I suddenly realized that my presence may change many things, but there will be no so-called "butterfly effect". It's just a matter of time before what should happen happens. So I accepted all this calmly without any pressure, carried the memory of "her", and began to continue with "her" life.

Speaking of the Geng family, Geng's father Geng Dejin was the leader of the Han Army flag with the white flag, and after Yinzhen was named Baylor and became the owner of the white flag flag, he was ordered to be an errand by his side. The leader is not a big official, but a small official who helps the master run errands. Geng's mother is ordinary and ordinary, and she is a typical good wife and mother. Therefore, the Geng family is not wealthy, but because of Geng's father's errand in Baylor Mansion, it can be regarded as worry-free food and clothing.

I have a lot of similarities with "her", the previous "she" was pampered and pampered by Geng's father, who was a military attaché, and her personality was atmospheric and hearty, and her lively and active personality made Geng's mother very sad. Today, my straightforward personality is still the same, but I don't have "her" lively and active, in the eyes of Geng's mother, my daughter is becoming sensible and well-behaved as she gets older.

In addition to reluctantly accepting such a change, I can only comfort myself with "blessing the soul, peace and security".

"You kid, I didn't respond to calling you a few times, why are you so distracted, don't keep staring at the snow, hurt your eyes......"

It seems to be scolding, but with a doting voice ringing in his ears. I turned around and called out, "Mother-" and then said with a smile, "My daughter is just thinking about when the snow will stop, so that I can ask Shangchun'er to go out to play." ”

My real age is no longer when I was a child, and my playfulness is naturally much weaker. It's just that at the age of twelve or thirteen, such an excuse seems to be taken for granted.

Chun'er is the daughter of the family next door, the ancestor is the Manchurian Baoyi who entered the customs with the Taizu, in this era when the Manchus are in charge of the world, Chun'er's father's identity is still higher than Geng's father, but the family is in the middle of the road, and his father is addicted to gambling, and the family's land and property are sold very little, and now he just has the identity of a Manchurian, and his life is not as good as the Geng family. Chun'er is a year older than me, and she is still a half-old child, naïve by nature, although her family background is not good, she can look carefree and happy all day long.

"Chun'er can't be as playful as you. Listening to Chun'er Niang, she has asked someone to find a way, and when the weather warms up next year, she will be asked to enter the Jiuye Mansion to wait for her in the draft of the clothed woman. She's been busy learning the rules these days. My mother is also thinking about letting you follow to learn, and you will always have to use it in the future. As she spoke, Geng's mother reached out and closed the window.

"Draft?" I was slightly stunned as I listened. "Is Chun'er only fourteen years old going to participate in the draft? Not to mention that the draft is not once every three years, how can it be next year?"

Geng's mother was not surprised by my surprise. In the past, Geng's mother felt that her daughter was still young, so she never mentioned it, but now that she is almost old, she does not shy away from talking about it, so that I can be mentally prepared.

Geng's mother closed the window, sat down on the couch, and talked to me about the draft.

In the process of unifying the Jurchens, the Qing Taizu Nurhachi created the Eight Banners system, and after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the banner people had the difference between the Eight Banners and the Three Banners of the Internal Affairs Bureau. The Eight Banners included the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, a total of 24 banners, which were the main pillars of the Qing regime's rule, and the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were the slaves of the Qing imperial family, and the two had different political statuses. Therefore, although the women of the Eight Banners and the Three Banners of Baoyi were called show girls in the early Qing Dynasty, the methods of selection and their status in the palace were also different.

Because of the strict examination of the flag and age, those who are not in the flag want to participate in the draft, and those who are in the flag want to avoid the draft, and they are also asking for hardship. The Shunzhi Dynasty stipulated that all officials of the Eight Banners of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies, sergeants from another household, and women aged 14 to 16 from the families of idle and strong men must participate in the triennial draft of women, and women over the age of 17 will no longer participate. All show girls are not allowed to marry without participating in the selection. Even those who are really unable to be selected because of illness, disability, or ugliness must go through the guarantee layer by layer, state the reason, and the Metropolitan Household Department will consult the Household Department, and the Household Department will play the emperor, and only after obtaining permission can they be exempted from the obligation to be elected, and they will be allowed to marry on their own.

The Eight Banners Show Girl, selected every three years, is presided over by the household department, and can be selected for the queen's concubines, or given to the marriage of the close branch (that is, within three generations, the blood relationship is relatively close) clan. The three banners of the cloth show girl, selected once a year, presided over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the three banners of the cloth of the three banners of the woman who has reached the age of thirteen, requires good facial features, quick action, clear speech; The Accounting Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will compile a register of candidates according to their flag and age. Interviews are generally conducted in the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City, and only one interview is conducted, with each batch of five or six people. The unsuccessful candidate can only get married when he returns home. Although some of them were eventually gradually promoted to concubines, those who undertook the chores of the harem were all the daughters of the internal affairs government.

Chun'er and I are among the girls to be drafted in the Three Banners.

Few people are willing to let their daughters enter the palace, and Chun'er Niang is also unwilling, so she will ask someone to find a way to enter the mansion of the elder brother, after all, there is less right and wrong than the palace, and if the officials in the deacon of the elder brother's mansion can be pointed out in the future, it can be regarded as a good way out.

Geng's father is the leader of the fourth master Yinzhen's side, although his official position is not high, he also makes friends with people who can enter and exit the palace, and he knows that the palace is dark, so he naturally does not want his daughter to be involved. Geng's mother was even more reluctant to let her daughter be a slave and serve others, but she just wanted to find a good family and have no worries for a lifetime.

It's just that I'm already wiser than other daughters, and although my appearance hasn't grown yet, I can see that I am beautiful, and I don't think it will be mediocre in the future. This made Geng's mother and his wife worried.

Geng's mother's words silenced me, and I pursed my lips to say something, but I didn't say anything. In fact, since I began to accept the arrangement of fate, I have been adjusting my mentality, a couple of people from generation to generation in my life is just thinking about it, if I really think about it, I will only suffer myself in the end. In this era when men can have many beautiful faces as long as they are rich and powerful, women's minds will only become an excuse for jealousy and divorce in the "Seven Outs". I resigned myself to my fate, but I didn't think that I might have to face not only ordinary men, but also endless battles.

I knew that fate would arrange such a special event, and it would not let me live in peace and waste, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so complicated.

I'm not a cross-border party in the novel, and the concept of Qing history only stays in the jokes of film and television dramas, and I don't know what the future will be. But thinking about those palace fighting pictures, I inevitably felt scared in my heart, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously from my heart.

Seeing that I was silent, and thinking about listening to Geng's father talk about those pickled things in the inner court on weekdays, she couldn't help sighing, and was afraid that I would mind, so she took my hand and comforted: "You don't have to worry, when the time comes, let your father ask the fourth master to be the master, allow you to enter the Sibeile Mansion to serve for a few years, and then ask the fourth master to help point out a good family." Although the fourth master has a lonely personality, he is upright and upright, and he is not a master who treats slaves harshly, so it is better than facing those masters in the palace every day. ”

Listening to Geng's mother's words, I just smiled lightly, and said in my heart that after this day, the nine sons will start to seize the heir, and I am afraid that there is no place in the palace and outside the palace that is a place to live, and what difference is there when I go, after all, I am a slave, and how much better can I live. It's just that I won't say this, just know it in my heart, after all, some things can't be changed by saying them-

The author has something to say: The heroine of this article is my favorite concubine in the history of the Qing Dynasty, her life is just a few paragraphs in the history books, but she can survive the harem battle, and be respected by the next emperor like a mother, and live to be more than 90 years old, it can be seen that the means are not as simple as in the history books.

I'm not a liberal arts graduate, nor am I studying history, but no matter what, I'll do my best to write a vivid plot and give everyone a story worth looking forward to.
