Chang Ting was a little moved, reached out and took her hand, and stared into her eyes sincerely, "Thank you, Lan Yue." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I'm really glad you can say that and know that you are doing it for my good. I come from the rivers and lakes, from the people, and I am indeed a little unaccustomed to life here. ”

"However, you must know that I asked you to do this, not because I can't adapt to it or learn the rules here, but because I have my perseverance and my plans. You, and the four of them, all have to believe that I'm doing this for your good. ”

Seeing that Lan Yue was puzzled, she didn't explain much anymore and cut to the chase, "I'm new to the palace and don't know anything about things in this palace, can you explain it to me in detail?" For example, the Queen Mother, and ...... The queen or something. ”

Lan Yue bowed her head slightly, "Slave maid...... Lan Yue knows everything and says everything. ”

Changting adjusted his sitting posture and listened attentively.

"In today's Qingsang harem, there are two queen mothers, namely the Empress Dowager Dong of Kunhua Palace and the Empress Dowager Xia of Yuqing Palace."

Chang Ting frowned, and couldn't help but interject, "I've heard of this Empress Dowager Dong, it's the Empress of the First Emperor, but I don't know ...... this Empress Dowager Xia."

"Back to the master, this Empress Dowager Xia was newly promoted to the Empress Dowager after the emperor succeeded to the throne. Empress Dowager Xia was originally the favorite concubine of the former emperor, and her position was a virtuous concubine. ”

"Virtuous concubine? Why can she be the queen mother? ”

"Today's holy mother is the princess of Yunche Kingdom, back then, she was the only favorite of the harem, and her position was second only to Empress Dowager Dong, who was still the queen at that time, and she was the concubine of Emperor Chen. When the saint was four years old, Emperor Chen's concubine died of illness, and the emperor raised the saint, who was already the prince, in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xia, who was a virtuous concubine at that time. ”

Chang Ting was surprised, "So, this Empress Dowager Xia is his adoptive mother?" ”

Lan Yue nodded, "Exactly." However, in fact, the saint has only lived in Yuqing Palace for one year, so ......"

"So, it's just a nominal adoptive mother, because, he went to Sanssouci Valley at the age of five......" Changting said, and doubts gradually arose in his heart, "Because of this, as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the queen mother?" ”

This seems far-fetched......

"The master lives in Sanssouci Valley all the year round, and may not pay much attention to the affairs of this court. Empress Dowager Xia's brother Xia Houlin is the prime minister of the dynasty. Moreover, when the saint was fifteen years old, he married Xia Donglian, the niece of the Empress Dowager Xia, that is, the daughter of Prime Minister Xia, as the crown princess, that is, the current queen. ”

Chang Ting's heart trembled, lowered his eyes and pinched the carrot in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled bitterly, "The queen is his cousin, right?" ”

Lan Yue peeked at her expression and nodded truthfully, "Yes, the queen is two years older than the emperor, and from the Empress Dowager Xia's side, she is indeed a cousin." ”

Thinking of the dignified woman in the goose yellow shirt, Chang Ting's heart ached.

Fifteen years old, it turns out that he was already married at the age of fifteen......

Trying to clean up her mood, she smiled reluctantly and continued to ask: "In this palace, the power of Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager Xia is equal?" ”

Lan Yue frowned slightly, her expression complicated, "This ...... Lan Yue also said that it was not very good. Empress Dowager Dong is the empress of the first emperor and has always ruled the harem, and her brother-in-law Liu Zhongda is the imperial lieutenant ......"

Chang Ting's eyebrows jumped, "When you are a captain?" But in the hands of the military? ”

"Exactly, Taiwei Liu has a heavy army."

Chang Ting's brain was running rapidly, and his expression became more and more solemn, "Lan Yue, this Empress Dowager Dong, do you have children?" ”

"Yes, the fourth highness Xiao Wangru fiefdom Hongyuan County, the king of Anqing."

King Anqing, son-in-law, this is the son-in-law of the first emperor......

Changting fell into deep thought, and the remaining half of the carrot was buttoned into pieces by her fingernails and scattered on the stone table.

After a long time, she slowly spoke, "Prime Minister and Taiwei...... Presumably, the two queen mothers have huge family power, and on the surface, the Empress Dowager Dong is slightly stronger. ”

Lan Yue bit her lower lip lightly, thought about it for a while, and then muttered: "Lan Yue doesn't understand this matter of the court. However, not long after the emperor married the queen as the crown princess, he married Liu Wanxin, the daughter of Taiwei Liu, as a side concubine, that is, the niece of the Empress Dowager Dong. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he canonized him as Concubine Yu. ”

Chang Ting's heart ached again, and he gritted his back teeth, "Tell me carefully, how many women did he marry before he succeeded to the throne?" After succeeding to the throne, how many women did he marry? ”

Lan Yue noticed something, her eyes showed concern, "Master......"

Changting smiled at her, "You tell the truth, I don't want to ask him, and I don't want to ask Chenyan." ”

The time spent together was too short, and Lan Yue couldn't think about the new master's intentions, so she could only tell the truth, "In addition to the queen and Concubine Yu, before the emperor succeeded to the throne, there were three concubines in the East Palace. These three concubines were all nameless at that time, and after the emperor succeeded to the throne, one was a concubine and two were nobles. ”

"In the autumn of last year, the emperor married Yiqing, the queen of the hussar general Wang Leopard, as a side concubine, and after ascending the throne, she was named Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu, an imperceptible wry smile appeared on Changting's face.

It turned out that she was attending her wedding.

"Except for these people who came from the East Palace, after the emperor ascended the throne, he canonized one concubine, one concubine and two nobles, just last night."

"What? Last night? Changting frowned.

"Yes, the emperor has been busy with government affairs since he ascended the throne, and last night he suddenly issued an edict to canonize the little daughter of Lord Ma, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, as Concubine Jing. And that concubine ......"

"That's me." Chang Ting's heart was already in chaos.

"Yes, things were too hasty, and I heard that it caused the government and the opposition to shake......" Lan Yue looked at her with deep meaning.

Why the Vibrations? Why is it shaking?

Chang Ting didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he changed the topic, "How is the Empress Dowager Xia?" ”

"The Queen Mother has a soft and kind temperament, and has an excellent reputation in the palace, and Her Royal Highness Xiao Yuqi and Princess Xiao Yumei of the Sixteenth are all from her. The first emperor once left an edict, and named His Royal Highness the fifteenth as the king of Ruiyang, and the fief was Changshui County. ”

"What about Zhan Ling? What about his mother? ”

Lan Yue's expression became a little strange and vague, "When Prince Jingjia was ten years old, his mother died of illness. ”

"Oh......" Chang Ting's expression darkened, he didn't ask any more questions, and was silent for a moment before he said again, "Lan Yue, I live in this palace, I don't want to see outsiders, if there is anything in the future, you have to pay more attention to me." ”

"Yes, the prince and the deputy chief have both told Lan Yue. The location of this Yunqi Courtyard is relatively remote, and very few people come, even if someone wants to see the master, Lan Yue will try to shirk it. ”

"That's good." Changting squeezed her hand gratefully, "Okay, you must be hungry after running so many laps, let's go, let's eat!" ”

※※※

When Dusty and Zhan Ling pushed the door in, they saw the scene in the courtyard and were stunned at the same time.

"Dry ...... Why? Zhan Ling was surprised.

When the five people who were standing heard the sound, they subconsciously turned around to salute.
