Section 891: Female Officialdom

"In that case, then I will obey the king's command. Nangong Yuhuan bowed. There was already a palace maid on the side, who moved a chair and placed it next to the emperor, and the two sisters hugged the emperor in the middle and sat down.

The emperor said: "The dancing skills of the Yuhuan girl are very good, since I heard that the Yuhuan girl has taught dance, I have been looking forward to seeing the girl dance with my own eyes, and today I saw that it really deserved its reputation." ”

Nangong Yuhuan smiled apologetically and said, "The dancing skills are ordinary, but it makes the emperor laugh." ”

"Hey, Miss Yuhuan is modest, if the girl's dancing skills are also commonplace, then these dancing girls in my palace can't bear to be seen. Not only you, but even Concubine Lan's dancing is also very good, could it be that the women of your Nangong family have been learning dance since they were young?" the emperor asked curiously.

The two Shu looked at each other and smiled, and Yulan said: "The emperor guessed correctly, this singing and dancing skill was taught by the family from below. ”

"Isn't the Nangong family known as a family heirloom with poetry and books? How can they teach girls to learn singing and dancing from an early age?" the emperor was puzzled.

Nangong Yulan said with a smile: "The family taught us to learn singing and dancing, the original intention was not to make us live in singing and dancing, but just to learn the voice." If you want to make your voice tactful, then you must learn to sing, and if you learn to sing, you can speak casually, which has the effect of a swallow and a warbler, and you don't have to sing to sing in it. If you want to be light, you must learn to dance, and if you are familiar with dancing, you can turn around and move, all with a willow smile and a smile, and you don't have to dance to dance in it. The ancients legislated, and there were often things here and there. To be an apprentice to be a good bow, you must first learn to make a dustpan, and an apprentice who wants to learn to tailor and make clothes must first learn how to make fur. When a woman learns singing and dancing, she learns the bow and the smelt and the fur. ”

The emperor suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Nangong family has such a deep meaning in teaching women's singing and dancing, since this is the case, I want you, the sister of Yuhuan, to do one thing for me." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? Nangong Yuhuan asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I hope that the girl from Yuhuan can also teach the dance in the palace and make the dance in the palace look new. I wonder if Miss Yuhuan can accept this invitation?" the emperor looked at Nangong Yuhuan expectantly.

"......?" Nangong Yuhuan glanced at Nangong Yulan with a slight hesitation, and quickly turned to the emperor and said: "Emperor, please Mingjian, it's not that I don't want to educate the palace music, it's really a little embarrassing in terms of identity, when I was teaching dance in Guocheng outside Gyeonggi before, I was incognito, and now I am asked to teach the palace music as the daughter of the Nangong family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Besides, it's really inconvenient for me to walk around the palace as a folk girl, and I always dispatch a group of people in the name of my sister, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, but I will be pampered and arrogant, and I will be infamous for bullying. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Your concerns are not unreasonable, but since I asked you to teach in the palace, you must complete your reputation." In this case, I will make you a female official in the palace. Specializing in the role of music education in the palace, do you think it's good?"

Nangong Yuhuan hurriedly stood up from the chair, curtsied and said, "Thank you emperor, but I am a person who cultivates the truth, and it is not my ideal to let me serve as an official in the palace." I'm afraid it's unacceptable. ”

The emperor frowned slightly and said: "I don't want you to be this female official for a long time, just help me teach in the palace for a year and a half, what do you think?"

Nangong Yuhuan had nothing to shirk now, so he had to say: "Since the emperor looks down on the people's daughter so much, the people's girl will stay in the palace and do her duty." ”

Only then did the emperor nod with satisfaction and said, "Yuan Yi, is there any suitable female official in the palace for the Yuhuan girl." ”

Gao Gonggong listened to it and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Emperor Qiyu and Concubine Lan, according to the old etiquette system, there are nine funerals, women in the palace, women and queens, and women wine, women pulp, women and women, all of them belong to the mound and are all in charge of the mound, these are all the duties of the palace, and they are to help the concubines to serve, not to enter the emperor. The law of the nine funeral women is to teach the nine royal women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's workers, each handsome of its subordinates, and the time is in the emperor's office.

Since you ascended the throne, so many years have passed, and the female officials in the palace have changed and become more refined, divided into six bureaus of female officials, each of which has four parts: Shang Gong Bureau, Shang Gong two, and Zheng Wupin. In charge of the palace cashier, the documents are all stamped. It is divided into secretary, secretary, secretary, and secretary.

Shangyi Bureau, Shangyi two people, in charge of etiquette and daily life, are divided into secretary, Si Le, Sibin, Sizan, and Tongshi.

Shangfu Bureau, Shangfu two, the number of palms for taking the chapter, under the division of treasure, clothing, decoration, and division.

Shang Shi Bureau, Shang Shi two people, the number of food and delicacies, the next division of the diet, the division of the food, the division of medicine, the division of the Shang Sleep Bureau, the two people of the palm of the bed, the Yan of the Son of Heaven, the subordinate division, the division of the Yu, the garden, the lamp Shang Gong Bureau, the two of Shang Gong, the head of the female red Cheng class, the division system, the division of the system, the division of the treasure, the division of the palace, the palace is one person, is the five products, the picket of the palace precept and punishment.

According to the old slave's view, the Yuhuan girl is suitable for holding important positions in the Shangyi Bureau and Si Le, and the Si Le should have two Si Le, two Dian Le, two Zhangle, and two female Shi according to the official system. Hold music and dance. Sealer is considered to be a six-grade official position. The palace officials are routinely required to serve in the palace for five to six years, and then they can leave the palace and return to their parents, or they can be married to them. Those who are willing to stay will continue to be given positions and will be given to their families. It is completely different from the concubines in the palace. The so-called funeral woman is the queen of the silk, the queen of the queen's gift, the second of the internal governance, with virtue but not color, it can be seen that the emperor is polite, as an emperor and not in beauty!"

After Gao Gonggong finished speaking, he didn't forget to pat the emperor's ass, and the emperor scolded with a smile: "Yuan Yi, don't tout me in front of the two Qing families, this makes people sound a little numb." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked Nangong Yuhuan instead: "What do you think of Si Le's position?"

Nangong Yuhuan hadn't spoken yet, and Nangong Yulan on the side didn't do it first, and said coquettishly: "How can you arrange such a low position for your sister? ”

"This ......" was said by Nangong Yulan, and the emperor also had a look of hesitation on his face.

Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said, "Sister, I'm just doing an official position for a year, and I don't have anything." ”

Nangong Yulan glanced at Yuhuan obliquely, and said with great concern: "The size of the official position is still secondary, am I not afraid that you will be bullied? You have Shang Yi and two people in charge of it, and there is also Si Le at the same level." Besides, you are a newcomer and replace the old people, and her original group of people still hates you secretly?"
