Meilan Zhuju, Concubine Mei has many merits that have been passed down to future generations, and her influence is far-reaching, and she deserves to be the first of the four concubines. But in second place is Concubine Lan.

Lan Zhe, a gentleman also. Although Concubine Lan was born in the harem and has watched the palace struggle for a long time, she has a pure nature, and she co-ordinates all things with Concubine Mei, and is famous for her "Wen" in later generations, and is also known as Concubine Wen. Later generations of literati held a grand meeting of Zhaolan every four years to commemorate this Lan concubine.

---- the biography of the four concubines

Queen Wang was born in a small family, and when she first became a queen, she was also worried, for fear that those concubines would cause her trouble. But now a year has passed, and she has gradually developed the bearing of a queen.

"What are you afraid of! This palace is the queen, it should be that they are afraid of this palace! No matter how noble the birth is? Why don't you still bow to this palace now? ”

After a year, she was full of confidence, phoenix eyes, and Queen Wang smiled and asked Wei Qian to sit down: "This palace has been a god to my sister for a long time." It stands to reason that my sister should have entered the house a long time ago, but because of various reasons, it has been delayed until now, and I finally saw the true face of my sister Lushan with my sisters. ”

Wei Qian said a few words modestly and greeted several concubines.

Wei Qian had just taken the position, and the news immediately spread all over the Sixth Palace, and now there are only six people above her.

Queen Wang, Concubine Wu Guifei, Concubine Xiande, as well as Deng Zhaoyi of the Peacock Phase, Li Zhaoyuan of the Dapeng Phase, and Wen Xiuyi of the Honghu Phase.

These six people each have a palace, and the most favored ones at present are Concubine Xiande and Deng Zhaoyi. Sister Deng Zhaoyi is Situ Yun's first woman, and she is also the only concubine at the beginning. Later, he died of illness, and there were Wu and Wei.

Situ Yun was grateful for his affection, and brought her sister into the mansion, where she currently lives in the Hanxiang Palace.

Speaking of the residence of the concubines, I have to talk about the layout in the Daming Palace.

Zichen Hall is the inner hall of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the sleeping palace where he rests alone. After the Zichen Hall is where the harem is located. Hanxiang Palace, Ming Coupon Palace, Penglai Palace, including the Qingning Palace where the queen lives are all behind.

The distance from the Zichen Hall to the concubine's dormitory can also be seen that it is favored.

Deng Zhaoyi lived in the Hanxiang Palace, which was one of the four palaces closest to the Zichen Palace.

Yuan Chun lived in the bathhouse hall, and Yuan Chun was indecent with his name, and it was changed to Fengzao Palace. The phoenix is fire, and the algae is water, which means that water and fire help each other.

Wu Guifei lived in the Hot Spring Palace, also known as Mingquan Palace. Originally, I wanted to name it Ganquan Palace, but I was beaten back by the queen's mother. Ganquan Palace? Really, the queen doesn't know what this means?

Li Zhaoyuan lived in Yanying Palace, which was originally the place where the emperor summoned foreign ministers, and later changed to Li Zhaoyuan's residence, which was very close to the emperor's location.

These four people wrapped up the four palaces closest to the Zichen Palace. Even the Qingning Palace of the Queen Mother is in the Penglai Hall complex.

The same is true for Wen Zhaoyi and others, Wen Zhaoyi lives in the Ayaqi Palace, and Wei Qian's Yongfu Palace, also known as the Chenghuan Palace, is the largest of the Penglai Hall complex. Because there are still those noble ladies in Yongfu Palace to marry, so I ordered her directly.

Wei Qian treated each other with good words, but Li Zhaoyuan and Deng Zhaoyi had stiff faces, and Wei Qian thought about it for a while.

The harem battle is nothing more than a matter of face, in addition to honor.

According to the rules of this dynasty, the queen and the four concubines live in the palace, and the nine concubines all live in the palace. Because Wei Qian came late, there was no way to get too close to Zichen Hall when she was looking for a palace at that time. Looking for it from the scope of Penglai Palace, although Penglai Hall is the best, it is obviously not suitable for her to use a full yuan. Even Wu Guifei doesn't dare to use Penglai Hall at present.

Because Penglai Hall and Zichen Hall are both on the central axis of Daming Palace, there is a Qingning Palace in the middle. When there is no queen, Penglai Hall is the head of the concubines and rules over the concubines. Wei Qian's grade is not enough, so it can't be used here, so you can only use the largest Chenghuan Hall around Penglai Palace. And the queen mother herself changed the name to Yongfu Palace. This is the prerogative of the concubines. In the name of beauty, Wei Qian entered the palace as a side concubine, and should not be treated lightly. all of a sudden, Wei Qian offended Deng Zhaoyi and Li Zhaoyuan.

After thinking about it, Wei Qian nodded to Wen Xiuyi with a smile, this Xiuyi lady is not bad, and there is no resentment from beginning to end.

Then Wei Qian and the queen spoke.

Since they are hostile, why should they come forward and put a cold face?

Seeing that Wei Qian didn't answer, she smiled and talked to the queen about what she had seen in the palace, Deng Zhaoyi's attack was like hitting cotton, she couldn't bear it, and she secretly sulked.

"My sister is still used to living yesterday?"

"It's okay, but I'm new to it, and I'm not familiar with the rules after all." Wei Qian said: "I'm afraid that I still need to mention it in the future." "It's an alliance.

The queen heard the kindness in her words, and said: "This palace commands the six palaces, if you have anything to ask, just come to Qingning Palace." ＂

Wei Qian should get down, sit next to Wen Xiuyi, and listen to everyone chatting about spices, clothing and other topics.

Wei Qian has been used to living in the mountains since she was a child, so she is not interested in these topics, and sits quietly on the side pretending to be dumb. While the others were not familiar with Wei Qian, the enemy did not dare to make a move immediately, and the others did not know this temperament, so they waited and waited for the changes.

Wen Xiuyi was originally a quiet character, and sat on the side with her. , Wei Qian tentatively talked, and the two gradually had a tacit understanding.

"By the way, how do you arrange those girls in my sister's palace?" The queen mother suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, this is also the first time in this dynasty." After all, Prince Yizhong is gone, and the emperor is here, so it is not good for His Majesty to make a big fuss about the draft. The Queen Mother used this method to send people to the palace. It's my sister's Yongfu Palace, I'm afraid it's hard to be idle. ”

In other palaces, it is already the limit to live in four or five Baolin at most. Where is there such a person in the palace like Wei Qian?

The reason why she was given the largest palace was to settle these people!

That's it, it's not easy to achieve a side hall per person. It's still two by two, just like when it was drafted.

Wei Qian said that she had arranged in the palace, and the queen shook her head: "In this way, how will you arrange the sleeping in the future?" Could it be that the two of them are together? What a system! ”

"In the end, my sister just entered the palace yesterday, and the soldiers are in chaos, so I will temporarily resettle these people, and then I will choose another palace and bring them out." Jia Yuanchun smiled at Queen Wang: "Simply let my cousin move out of a side hall to sleep, and if you want to add a sister to your majesty, you will directly let that sister move out to live." Fengzao Palace, Sister Wu's Mingquan Palace, and Niangniang's Qingning Palace, plus the palaces of several sisters, can all be divided into people. ”

The queen thought for a while, and nodded: "This is okay, and there will be all the sisters when the time comes." ”

Everyone agreed, and the queen said to Wei Qian: "Although they all live in your palace now, they will all be sisters in the future, and you can't be pampered and arrogant." You can't have the idea of dominating the holy grace, you can't bully these sisters, you have to let all your sisters get wet with rain and dew. Otherwise, if the palace hears the rumors at that time, you will be punished. ”

Wu Guifei and Deng Zhaoyi laughed secretly in their hearts: "Let you enter the palace with such a beautiful scenery, those people in your palace are like a small sixth palace, and the future will be tossed by you." And the queen spoke, if you still dare to dominate Your Majesty, it will be up to you to explain it when the time comes. ”

In a different place, if they were to replace them, and push the emperor out to others when they were newly married, of course they would not be reconciled. But these people are all in the palace, is it possible to let them live for a lifetime?

Pushing the emperor out with his own hands is not a good feeling! The concubines looked at Wei Qian with pity.

Wei Qian didn't have any opinions, she wished that these people would serve Situ Yun, so that she could slowly figure out how to learn how to govern the country after she was idle.

After responding, the queen mother was kind to each other, and it seemed that the reprimand she had just reprimanded was completely out of the queen's identity. At the end of the palace, he gave Wei Qian a bunch of satin cloth as a reward.

Leaving the palace, Jia Yuanchun stepped forward and grabbed Wei Qian. Wei Qian was not able to struggle, and walked with Jia Yuanchun for a while, Jia Yuanchun said in a low voice: "Cousin, be careful of the queen, don't forget how Concubine Deng died in the first place." ”

Concubine Deng? Without waiting for Wei Qian to figure it out, Jia Yuanchun left in a hurry.

The palace of the two was far away, so they could only watch Jia Yuanchun return to Fengzao Palace, and she also drove back to the palace.

Back at Yongfu Palace, Hong Chun pouted: "Miss, what to do with these silks?" "The king humiliated the ministers to death, and Wei Qian's low eyebrows in Qingning Palace are rare. Wei Qian didn't speak herself, and Hongchun gave her hugs.

"Let's go back and make some clothes for the sisters in the palace." Wei Qian didn't think so, since she wanted to sharpen her Dao heart and step out of the darkest place in this world, then she couldn't care about these faces.

If you lose some of the dough, you can exchange it for the Flying Immortal Dao, so what's the matter? Just let her tear off the dough by herself, and she will be willing to step on her feet again!

Holding a golden potato ball, Wei Qian said vaguely: "Didn't the queen ask me to take good care of them?" Then the cloth will be used on them. I'm not unfamiliar with these things! ”

"Alright, I'm tired after a busy day. All kinds of greetings to the big guy, you go and prepare, I'll rest early, I'm afraid Situ Yun will have to come again tonight. ”

There was no one around, only the master and servant, and they didn't have many scruples when they spoke: "It's a pity that you can't leave the palace now, otherwise I can also ask about the matter on Midway." ”

As he was talking, Hongchun was about to help Wei Qian take off her formal clothes, and Xiangling ran in: "Miss, those people in the side hall came over to congratulate you." ”

Side halls? Wei Qian rubbed her forehead. The people who lived in the side hall were her original "dowry". Because this year's draft is not good, let the nobles enter the palace in the name of marriage. When he turned around, he would be able to live in the palace when he was lucky.

But now, not embarrassed to stay in Yongfu Palace, and there are two poisonous snakes inside, Wei Qian not only had a headache: "Forget it, let them in first." ”

Although these nobles were arrogant at home, they gradually understood Wei Qian's temperament in the few days in Ruiming Palace. As soon as someone made a fuss, they were locked up in the yard by Wei Qian's cold treatment, and slowly they all knew that Wei Qian was the master of soft and hard.

Now that everyone is in Yongfu Palace, living under Wei Qian's hands, they need to be more careful to face this palace master.

The women saluted respectfully and looked at Wei Qian.

Wei Qian understood what they meant, it was okay to live like this all the time, and she had to find a way to cut the number of people here.

After thinking about it, Wei Qian's eyes fell on the cloth given by the queen, and she had an idea in her heart.

"This is a gift from the queen's mother, a total of twenty-four horses, with different colors. You see, who likes what color, just pick one, go back to the palace to make palace clothes for you, and prepare to sleep when the time comes. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, including the shadows of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and they all stepped forward to choose their favorite cloths. Wei Qian deliberately took away the fabrics with similar colors and patterns, and asked everyone to choose fabrics with large differences.

After the sixteen people were selected, Wei Qian ordered someone to write it down: "When the palace makes you good clothes, I will try to arrange for you to sleep at that time." ”

Sending everyone away, Wei Qian asked Hongchun to send the cloth to be cut: "Let them make zuò palace clothes, and by the way, keep the rags for me to make zuò sixteen sachets, and then I will arrange for them to sleep." ”

Then, together with Xiangling, he found the palace maid of Yongfu Palace. These palace maids Wei Qian had just taken over, and she didn't know how many spies had been sent by outsiders inside, so she didn't bother to pay attention to them. asked them to help clean up their dowries together, and by the way, a side hall was vacated for the newlyweds to sleep.

When Situ Yun came over at night, Wei Qian's side hadn't finished cleaning up. I saw two boxes in the main hall, which contained all kinds of gold and jade porcelain, as well as a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. At the beginning, several ancient paintings of imperial gifts given by Wei Qian to Jia Yu were also sent to the palace as dowries.

"Your Majesty came just in time, if you have time, you can come and help."

Situ Yun's coming here was just a passing scene, anyway, the two of them couldn't do anything at night, so they simply ordered the eunuchs and helped with the decoration themselves.

"Not good!" Wei Qian saw Situ Yun hanging a painting on the east wall, shook his head and took it down: "This bamboo is delicate, and it doesn't match the vase next to it, why don't you hang it on the south wall?" ”

After a while, Situ Yun also removed the incense burner set up by Wei Qian: "Why do you put so many incense burners in the house, I don't know, I still think that you are sick and need spices to be raised." I know you like patterns like cranes and white deer, so let's just change them to bronze crane winged lanterns. "Tell your subordinates to prepare.

The two of them spent a long time tossing and decorating, and these actions fell in the eyes of the palace maids, and turned around into the ears of several mothers, and said secretly: "It is said that this county lord has a lot of eyes, and now it looks like it really deserves its reputation." Let Majesty help with the furnishings, and invisibly grasp the preferences of Majesty. And with His Majesty personally decorating the new house, His Majesty naturally has more feelings, and he has to stay here for a few more days. ”

Wei Qian's unintentional actions made everyone figure out the deep meaning, and several mothers played quickly in their hearts, and one by one they also asked Situ Yun for help in the name of refurbishing.

However, helping one can be said to be fun, and helping two can be said to be the same. But help all the concubines to set up the palace? He's not a worker!

Later, he simply shook his face, and the concubines behind him were honest and didn't dare to have other crooked thoughts. Only the queen and the two concubines enjoy this treatment.

This is the next day, and Situ Yun is still resting here with Wei Qian.

Wei Qian spoke first: "It's not that the concubine's physical condition is unknown, so there is no need to do this." If His Majesty is willing, the concubine can arrange for someone to sleep. Anyway, there are so many people in Yongfu Palace, and it doesn't hurt for His Majesty to come in turn. ”

Situ Yun's heart moved, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, you just entered the palace, I have to give you some honor." The first three days must be on the side of the main hall. ”

Lighting the incense burner, another night's sleep.
