Chapter 11: Concubines
The ceremonial grandmother informed An Ruozhi of this, An Ruozhi was furious after hearing this, she didn't expect the third daughter to be rampant so much, this is already this virtue before entering the palace, if you enter the palace, you have to go, isn't it crazy to have no edge, the queen mother and the queen are most afraid of this kind of person, it doesn't matter if she wants to die, but the other two daughters of the An family and the An family can't die with her, especially Angel, who is the only daughter of him and Nalan Xiyue.
slapped the table with a big hand, and asked Nalan June to find two stern and skilled grandmothers to strictly restrain An Meng'er, if she can't learn the rules well in one day, she will be punished with ten notes of family law, and if she doesn't learn well in two days, she will be punished with twenty notes of family law, and so on in the future.
At the beginning, An Meng'er thought that her father was just scaring her, and she still went her own way, but when the two grandmothers pressed her and beat her hands with red and swollen eyes, An Meng'er knew that her father was not so simple this time.
After a few days of separation, some rules were also learned, although they were still unfamiliar, they still made a general appearance, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran to Ye Min rubbing the ground, spitting bitterness, and said that the grievances of a few days were ten percent.
Ye Min rubbed her always as a sweetheart, the last time she accidentally splashed her with water, and later she apologized to her daughter in person, promised her this, and promised her like that, only then did she reveal the matter, watching her daughter being beaten, what kind of sanity did she have there, and as soon as she turned around, she went to An Ruozhi to intercede, and also put a lot of Nalan June's eye medicine in front of An Ruozhi.
An Ruozhi smiled disdainfully after hearing this, who is Nalan June? The stepwife of the An family, who has been busy with the An family for more than ten years, treats the concubines and concubines more gently, and is almost the object of respect of the whole house, and is also the little sister of Nalan Xiyue, and has been in harmony with An Ruozhi for many years.
How could he turn his face for a woman who was sent by the Ye family and eased the family relationship with An Ruozhi, he immediately pointed at Ye Min's nose, scolded the other party with a split head and face, and sternly told him not to care about An Meng'er's affairs, otherwise he would open the ancestral shrine and inherit An Yu'er to Nalan Liuyang.
These words made Ye Min completely panicked, An Yu'er is the youngest daughter of the An family, just turned one year old, and she doesn't remember when she said that she loved An Meng'er the most, but An Meng'er was about to enter the palace to be the master's mother, she had no son in the An family, only one daughter, if An Yu'er was taken away, her future dependence would be gone, and she hurried back to her yard and didn't care about anything.
This word soon spread to several other courtyards, and the An family also had two aunts in a side room, An Yuer's mother was an official woman, and there was an elder brother above, who learned the rules with Nalan Xiyue in her early years, plus she was named An Ren, and she was the wife of the royal family, so she was naturally not afraid of her, but she also looked down on that woman's style even more.
After An Lin'er knew about this, she shook her handkerchief and smiled sarcastically, it didn't seem to make much sense for her to shout that she wanted to be the first to choose Mama, it was better to pick up the leftovers, at least Angel would owe her a favor, "Let's sweep the snow in front of the door!" After that, I went to learn the rules with my grandmother.
As soon as Angel entered the boudoir, she bent her knees and gave a small salute to Mama Xi, "Have you seen Mama Jin, how is the concubine?" ”
Mama Jin hurriedly turned sideways and glanced at her with some displeasure, but her expression was still faintly drowning, "The little master can't do this, how can the master give us slave luggage?" The concubine knows about this, and she still wants to punish us who are slaves and maids and teach bad masters. ”
Angel didn't seem to be afraid at all, and still said with a light smile, "Mama Jin is teaching Ruoxi etiquette, she is Ruoxi's teacher, the master of heaven and earth, what does it matter if the disciple gives the master a salute!" ”
Mama Jin shook her head helplessly, pulled her up, and said as she walked, "It's okay for the concubine, but the little prince has already moved out as the king, and they don't usually meet each other much except when they enter the palace to ask for peace." When I heard that you were elected to the palace, I was more worried at first, but the emperor was relatively lenient to you, and let you live in the Liuying Water Pavilion, so I was relieved. ”
Mama Jin is the old mama in the palace, when she was young, she was a famous needlework lady in the palace, and then because of something her hand hurt, she can no longer embroider, so she will be a rough mama in the imperial garden, and she will be bullied from time to time, one year when she met with her family, Nalan took Angel into the palace in June, and happened to see Mama Jin being bullied, and Angel saved Mama Jin by mistake.
and pestered Concubine Xiang to serve Mama Jin by her side, Mama Jin has suffered in the imperial garden for several years, and she has already been able to observe words and feelings, and Concubine Xiang saw that she was a brain, and her body was innocent, so she stayed and made a palm lamp.
Don't look at this palm lamp is a position from the seventh grade, and the night shift at night is a chore, but this is still a sign in the Shang Sleep Bureau, some emperors are not subject to the ** change of clothes, and the likes of women have to be respectful when they see her, the prime minister is still a seven-grade official in front of the door, not to mention the palm lamp of Concubine Xiang, Mama Jin's old age is also considered to be blessed, and she still has a feeling of gratitude for Angel.
Angel smiled faintly and pulled Mama Jin to sit on the soft couch, "Why is there anything else to say about this Liuying Water Pavilion?" ”
Mama Jin shook her head helplessly after hearing this, "It's not just a saying, the name in this is big, although the little master has learned the etiquette in the palace since he was a child, he doesn't know much about the grades in this palace, so if the old slave tells the little master about some positions in the palace." ”
Angel nodded, anyway, there is no problem with her rules for a long time, and learning some things in the palace now will not be blind in the future.
"The palace is generally divided like this, the queen of the middle palace is the emperor's wife, and she is also the only serious master in the palace except for the emperor and the queen mother, which has no grade. Followed by the first product of the four concubines, from the first product of the four concubines, from the second product of the six concubines, from the second product of the six concubines, from the third product of the nine concubines, from the third product of the nine Shunyi, from the fourth product of the nine Jieyu, from the fourth product of the twelve to fill the Hua, from the fifth product of the twelve nobles, from the fifth product of the twelve good people, from the sixth product of the eighteen beauties, from the sixth product of the eighteen talents, from the seventh product of eighteen clothes, from the seventh product of twenty-seven Baolin, from the eighth product of thirty-six royal maidens, from the eighth product of fifty-four women, from the ninth product eighty-one dressing. ”
"Oh my God!" Angel felt that her brain was not enough, she married a complete **, "The emperor actually has so many women!" ”
"Please also ask the little supervisor to take care of his words and deeds, the emperor must be responsible for the royal heirs, the emperor carries the fate of the Yuguo country, so there are so many palace concubines and masters, it is imperative." Mama Jin said with some displeasure.
Angel pouted, even if you are polite, the emperor cherishes his reputation, he should not fill all these positions, otherwise I am afraid that the people will say that he is a mysterious and beautiful faint king, "After this draft, how many women are left?" ”
After Mama Jin roughly calculated, she said, "It's not much, counting the few little masters of the An family, that's just twenty-three!" ”
The corners of Angel's mouth twitched after hearing this, "If you add his previous woman, it means that I may not see him once a month, right?" ”
After hearing this, Mama Jin was silent, and she didn't want to say it so clearly, so she could only ask Ai Ai, "The little master can be calculated, how many palace concubines are there for Emperor Taizu in Ming, how many palace concubines are there for Emperor Shengzu in Ming, and how many people are in the Ming Dynasty for Emperor Gaozu?" ”
"Taizu ascended the throne at the age of forty, and it took twenty-five years to fight the world, and he was forty-five years old when the world was peaceful, but at that time there were about nineteen women in his **, and then there were more than forty young girls in the palace during the general election, and in the following years, different women entered the palace, until the old man was sixty-seven years old, he stopped the draft, and passed away two years later."
Thinking of this, Angel's head is big, the emperor has been more fraternity since ancient times, except for the first draft, and the last draft has a record, there are almost no records in the last seven times, and no one knows how many women the emperor welcomed into the palace.
Mama Jin nodded, "In this way, the little master understands?" ”
Angel was a little helpless to enter the palace gate as deep as the sea, all said that some women did not see the emperor from entering the palace to death, Angel originally thought it was just a joke written in a novel, it seems that this time there is really solid evidence.
"What does this have to do with me living in the Ryurea Water Pavilion?"
"The residences in the palace correspond to the position of their owners, and the place where the queen lives is called Kunning Palace, which will not change. The place where the woman on the concubine throne generally lives is also called the palace, but its name cannot coincide with the Kunning Palace. The place where Liuyi and the noble concubines live is called the palace, the nine concubines live in the pavilion, and the place where Shunyi and Jieyu live is called Xuan. That place is not far from the Imperial Garden, and there is only one official master, Kang Shunyi, and Kang Shunyi is young, and he doesn't know anything like that, after the little lord lives in the palace, as long as it is handled properly, the palace will get a favorable ally. ”
Angel nodded, Mama Jin meant that Kang Shunyi could be befriended, and then Angel asked, "Since ancient times, it has not been the ninth rank and eighteenth level, why is it that the palace has reached the ninth rank?" ”
