Xue Baochai wore a dark cold mountain skirt and came out of the side door of Daming Palace with a floral blue burden on his back.

Listening to the sound of gongs and drums at the main gate, Xue Baochai sighed in his heart: "The army is on the march, I don't know when it will return?" ”

Looking at the palace gate behind him, now this palace is really bidding farewell to the life of the deep palace. Although there is no need to look at people's eyes in the future, there is also no goal, and the future is uncertain.

Looking back on his career in the palace in the past few years, from the beginning of the female officials intriguing with each other, to spending their hearts and minds to flatter the second concubine Xianning. Although Xue Baochai has no life in his hands, he is also unclean in the big dye vat of the harem.

Climbing high and stepping low is the norm in the harem, if she hadn't picked up a few big trees in the harem, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to return to her hometown today.

Yes, return home. Compared to those companions, she was the only one who left the palace as a female warden.

"Speaking of which, it's all the favor of Concubine Ning." Thinking of that lady, my heart was a little sour, and I was even more envious.

In the huge harem, except for the Empress Dowager Chen, there is only Concubine Ning.

Empress Dowager Chen is the emperor's biological mother and has the highest status in the harem. And Concubine Ning pressed Concubine Xian with her wrist, and she also had no scruples in the harem, and she didn't worry about the calculations of others at all.

Compared with Concubine Xian, she still needs to compete for the emperor's favor and flatter the Queen Mother, in Xue Baochai's eyes, Concubine Ning is obviously more comfortable. That kind of calmness does not come from power, but from a higher level of power.

The strength comes from herself, Wei Qian doesn't have to worry about checking the situation of every piece of food, and she doesn't have to think about being counted as heirs every day. Of course she had an easy time.

Xue Baochai thinks back to his life in the past few years, and he can only be regarded as a real peace of life on Wei Qian's side, that Niangniang tree is big and strong, and as a person in Qingbian Palace, he doesn't have to worry about others plotting at all.

"It's just that after leaving the palace, there is no daily instruction from this lady, what will you do in the future?" The road ahead is boundless, although Wei Qian promised to help Xue Baochai officiate the marriage, but Xue Baochai is really difficult to find a lover, and just wants to live quietly after leaving the palace.

Outside the door, Xue Pan and Mrs. Xue hurriedly stepped forward.

"Oh, daughter, you've finally come out!" Mrs. Xue's heart fell: "The girl from someone else's family left the palace three days ago, but she left you in the palace for three more days, and she was worried about her mother." ”

Xue Mu took Xue Baochai's hand and checked Xue Baochai's condition up and down.

Xue Baochai's eyes turned red when he saw his mother and brother, and he hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, this is Concubine Ning's love, let me go out of the palace as a courtesy, and also set up a small banquet for my daughter." ”

Wei Qian raised Xue Baochai's official position and let her leave the palace as a Shang Palace, which is the only one among this group of female officials.

Even the female officials who left the palace around the Queen Mother did not have this kind of treatment. After all, the queen mother attaches great importance to the elderly, and the young female officials around her are not pampered, just two servants who help her write and read. I can't see the Queen Mother on weekdays, and the Queen Mother doesn't bother to give them grace.

Others want to do the same. But Wei Qian and Concubine Wen pressed it, and even Yuan Chun couldn't suppress them, so they could only let the female officials around them leave the palace as a long history, and then give a certain amount of gold and silver to make entanglements.

According to Wei Qian, she is buying bones. Using Xue Baochai as an example, in the future, when the female officials saw that her side was well-welfare, they naturally went to her Qingbian Palace. And for the entire selection of female officers, there can be more people.

The first batch of female officials, a total of twenty were released from the palace and still retained the title of female official. In addition to the female warden Xue Baochai, there are five female elders and fourteen honorary female officials.

Three days ago, Xue Baochai took everyone to Ningshou Palace to thank him. Then Xue Baochai was kept by Wei Qian for three more days.

Yesterday, the princess and her relatives, today the royal drive is pro-conquest, and only after a qiē operation is completed will Xue Baochai leave.

Looking at the crowds on Suzaku Street, Baochai was stunned: he would never have such an opportunity in the future, and the honor guard in the palace looked down on the people on both sides.

"That's the brigade of His Majesty's personal expedition." Xue Pan glanced at it and said to Xue Baochai with a smile: "I heard that the concubines sent each other, so my sister came out of the palace?" ”

"Hmm." Xue Baochai cut off the feelings in his heart, and finally glanced at the solemn and tall palace gate behind him, and smiled and pulled the hands of his relatives to return to the Xue family.

Xue Baochai entered the palace, and Xue Pan and the others would no longer live in Jiafu, but chose a house in the city. Xue's mother married Xue Pan a few years ago and started a family.

"Speaking of which, my sister is going home this time, what are you going to do in the future?" On the way, Xue Pan asked.

"Didn't the lady in the palace say that she would marry you?"

Eight of the other female officials were appointed to marry by the concubines serving in the palace when they left the palace.

Xue Baochai shook his head and sighed. "Although the mother had this intention, she was rejected by her daughter."

Mother Xue knew that Xue Baochai couldn't forget Jia Baoyu, and secretly complained about Mrs. Wang. What was said back then was a certainty, and there was a golden and jade relationship, and her mother and daughter believed it. I thought that Mrs. Wang could be Jia Baoyu's master, but as soon as the will of the palace came out, it was none of their business at all!

"Before leaving the palace, my mother left me to instruct. It is said that she has the intention to establish a women's school outside the palace, which is specially designed to give lectures to the ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families, and prepare for the future female officials in the palace. Xue Baochai thought for a while and said: "Now this first female official selection is still the same as a draft. But this must not be the case in the future, otherwise it will be a joke in the palace. ”

"Oh?" The mother and son of the Xue family were puzzled: "Is this palace servant still making jokes?" ”

"At the beginning, the selection of female officials ignored the style of pen and ink, and some of the young ladies were not able to understand pen and ink. When the lady in the palace asked them to help them read and copy books, there were inevitably mistakes. In addition, if the female officials in charge of the court do not know how to calculate the accounts and coordinate the finances, it will also go wrong. Therefore, several official ladies were almost kicked out of the palace. ”

A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and even Wang Xifeng can't read or write, so she wants other official ladies to be a party on weekdays. Enter the palace to serve the concubines, and let the concubines teach them to read and write?

Because it is the first female official selection, the concubines are lonely on weekdays, and they are still in the mood to teach, and their relationship with each other is quite harmonious. But in the future, every batch of female officials entering the palace will be taught by the concubines? The concubines are not happy!

Therefore, Wei Qian asked Concubine Wen to preside over this matter, and set up a women's school in the capital, specifically to give lectures to the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles. This plan was in place a few years ago, and there was a women's school in Chang'an City, but the results were not good. Therefore, Wei Qian instructed the female officials out of the palace that if they couldn't find a way to make a living, they could help organize a women's school.

The female student explains the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some common sense rules in the palace, as well as some disease prevention and female medical questions for women. But this is only the first step, and in the future, these dignitaries will slowly spread outward. Branches were established from the center of the city to the outside.

According to Wei Qian's estimates, in a few decades, it should be possible to popularize women's education in some large cities. That is the achievement of Wei Qian and Concubine Wen.

Xue Baochai had nothing to do after leaving the palace, so Wei Qian had the heart to let her join forces with Concubine Wen to implement this matter. And this is also an important achievement of Concubine Wen's name in history.

When I returned home, I saw a plump lady decorating her home.

Seeing Xue Baochai and the three returning, the woman went up to greet her: "This is my sister?" My sister-in-law went out this morning and didn't have time to pick you up in person. ”

Zheng's face was full of smiles, Xue Baochai had seen her, and several people sat down to chat.

Because of Wei Qian, Xue Pan's fate changed, although he was still out drinking, the situation in the Xue family was better than the original fate.

Marrying this Zheng is a rich lady, but the Zheng family is thoughtful and ruthless. Within a few months of entry, Xue Pan was taken care of, and a group of concubines were cleaned up.

As she spoke, she examined Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai's heart was awe-inspiring: she had been in the palace for three years, had seen strong winds and waves, and saw the Zheng family's Buddha-faced snake heart. Treat this sister-in-law carefully, and don't dare to be a little lazy.

Two flowers bloomed, the army went out, and Wei Qian and others sent them to the camp in the suburbs.

After the concubines accompanied Situ Yun on the military parade, Situ Yun led an army of 200,000 to the south.

The army meandered like a dragon, beating drums, waving flags, and slowly walking towards the official road.

"Sanding Jiangnan, I don't know how to win or lose this first battle?" After Situ Yun left, Wei Qian clearly felt that the dragon qi in Chang'an City had lost its suppression, and his own mana was active, and he secretly had the intention of traveling at night to participate in the battle of immortals and demons.

"Niangniang, it's time to go back to the palace." The eunuchs counted the hours and urged everyone to return to the palace.

The concubines took a look, and the queen mother took the concubines back to the city.

On the left, Yuan Chun took the second prince and the second princess, while on the right, Wei Qian took the crown prince and the eldest princess. Followed by other princesses, princesses and concubines, everyone returned to the palace.

Wei Qian glanced at the back, and when she saw the few people who entered the palace in this draft, she couldn't help but shake her head: Pity this batch.

These people had just entered the palace, and Situ Yun immediately recruited in person, and he had no chance to contact Situ Yun at all. Who knows what Situ Yun's victory or defeat will be this time, if there is something unbearable, I am afraid that these people will have to be widowed.

"But these people aren't stupid. Except for a few who choose concubines, most people choose female officials. ”

First, there are examples of Xue Baochai and others, and secondly, Situ Yun can't compete for favor when he is not in the palace, so in this batch of drafts, ninety percent of the people choose female officials to refill the empty court not long ago.
