- In the late spring and early summer, the vitality of heaven and earth has been completely awakened by the laws of nature, no water does not overflow, no wood does not cover green, grass and trees dot vermilion, and a hundred birds play. The potted flowers in Huayang Palace have also been replaced by the diligent and careful palace slaves, and the first batch of potted plants has actually only failed a little and has been replaced.

Along with that batch of potted flowers, there were six palace slaves. These six people are all close servants who have been serving the second prince for a long time in Huayang Palace, and the one with the least qualifications has also been with the second prince for four years.

The second prince is seventeen years old this year, so take this time to think about it, the six palace slaves who were replaced were all assigned to Huayang Palace at the age when His Royal Highness the prince was most likely to accumulate fixed feelings for people. This time, seeing that the servants who were familiar with it suddenly lost six people, it was no wonder that His Royal Highness the prince was not depressed.

But His Highness can only sigh a few times in his heart about this, and he can't do anything to change it on the surface.

The replacement of Huayang Palace was handled by Concubine De, who is the most respected concubine in the harem at the moment. Even if she doesn't mention the honorable seat she has in the harem by taking advantage of the emperor's favor, she only says that the second prince is the credit that she has raised for more than ten years and has taken care of growing up day by day, she wants to take care of the servants in the second prince's bedroom, which one dares to say more?

Of course, the second prince himself knows this very well in his heart. He knows better than anyone else about his poor physique when he was a child, and now he has grown up to know how to remember his kindness, and he knows better that in the case of his weak body when he was a child, Concubine De has never interrupted the care day after day, and has carefully raised him for more than ten years.

Although he did not have Concubine De's blood in his body, he was in awe of Concubine De. Respect is Concubine De's nurturing grace to him, fear, not the fear of ordinary people's children to their parents' control.

As a prince, he didn't need to be afraid of any woman in the harem, even his mother-in-law. His fear of Concubine De is just that he is sad, which is a desire to please based on family affection.

So he already vaguely knew. Concubine De quietly played with those filthy little actions behind her back, but for the things that had passed, he only advised himself to try to forget about them. And what may be accumulating and about to erupt, he only moved the idea of unilaterally blocking the interference.

Even now, Concubine De has cleaned and transferred nearly forty percent of the slaves he is used to in the palace, except for expressing his objections to Concubine De alone, but after Concubine De refused, he didn't say anything more. Until this time, he still didn't think about tearing his face with Concubine De and starting a head-on conflict.

The matter of changing slaves in the dormitory. He knew that Concubine De was for his good.

There are now many less familiar faces in the dormitory. At the same time, a few unfamiliar faces were brought in. It's like sleeping on a warm and soft futon that is suddenly taken away, and then replaced with a cold and hard new quilt, even if the new bedding has a dry and refreshing honey locust aroma, it always makes the owner who is disturbed sleepy feel uncomfortable.

But even so. It is impossible for the second prince to turn his face with his adoptive mother because his adoptive mother has changed the clothes and bedding he is used to.

So that no matter how easy the slave is, it will only be the fate of being a slave. The second prince's leniency towards others is only a personal temperament, and it is impossible to change a certain social constraint that the World Bank has used for hundreds of years.

In the past sunny and warm days, the second prince Wang Hong would stay in the front yard of Huayang Palace to bask in the sun.

That courtyard is the sunniest place in Huayang Palace in the morning, Wang Hong sits in the corner pavilion, and the palace slave moves the flower bed to the stone table under the pavilion for Wang Hong to prune the branches and leaves for leisure. The pavilion is surrounded by curtains. The careful palace maid held the fork of the bird's head, and roughly according to the law of the rising sun, the curtain was pulled down an inch at intervals, so that the warm sunlight could envelop His Highness's habitually cold body when passing through the corner pavilion. But it doesn't hit him directly on his head, making him feel dizzy.

The group of old servants of Huayang Palace who were recently replaced by Concubine De, although Wang Hong is used to it, is a little rough in terms of etiquette, but in fact, it is precisely because of the master's habits that these servants seem to be the hands and feet of the master, and they can always serve just right.

But the new group of servants who came in were too regular, and they suddenly lost the advantage that made Wang Hong feel comfortable to get used to.

The wound on his hand has been recuperating for almost half a month, and the wound has been completely closed in the past few days, but despite this, Wang Hong has been restrained more in matters such as daily life and actions. This is all thanks to those new palace slaves who came in, they know that the palace slaves who walked in front of them were because of carelessness, which caused His Royal Highness the Second Prince to suddenly become ill, and His Royal Highness's adoptive mother Concubine De would be angry, so they, the new slaves transferred by Concubine De, would be more cautious.

Wang Hong wanted to get out of the house to breathe, so these slaves all knelt at the door, mourned and pleaded for sin, saying things such as "Your Highness needs to take care, Concubine De should advise, Niangniang will be displeased, and Niangniang will be punished". Wang Hong wanted to read quietly for a while, and these servants would take advantage of the gap between serving tea and pouring water from time to time to string such words together. Three meals a day also became a test, and when Wang Hong's appetite was not good, these servants all knelt down in front of the couch and persuaded them to eat and drink for many reasons that appeared to be "for your own good, worried about you".

At first, these slaves did make Wang Hong embarrassed, it was just right to deal with his gentle and kind temperament, and pinched his weakness in not wanting others to suffer for him. But this trick will be ineffective if it is used too much, Wang Hong can see that these slaves are completely servile, very tired, he feels that he is actually being held hostage by the slaves with their lives, and these slaves will only play with his hands and feet as dolls in the way they think!

Have you considered my feelings?!

This is like a good swordsman, even if the sword in his hand is so sharp that it occasionally scratches himself, the swordsman does not want to use a wet and rotten stick in order not to hurt himself; Even Scrooge, who is the most greedy for wealth, hopes that the silver he holds in his hand will be silver and clean, and the silver ingots will feel disgusting before they fall into the pit!

So, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who had always been mild-tempered, finally became angry after spending eight days in the dormitory where the windows were closed and the warmth of the sun was replaced by the warmth of the charcoal fire. This anger was ignited by the new palace slaves who were carefully selected and sent to his dormitory by Concubine Youde.

What is the form of the anger of the second prince, those old palace slaves in Huayang Palace almost forgot about it, I didn't expect this new group of palace slaves to be so "lucky", only a few days later, they received the "treatment" from the old palace slaves who are rare to see the second highness.

When the princess Wang Qing came to Huayang Palace surrounded by a few palace maids, she heard the sound of chaotic reading coming from the wall in Huayang Palace before she reached the gate of the vestibule. When she stepped into the doorway, the sound of reading became clearer, and only the voice of the reader could be heard to be uneven. The accent of the words is not very consistent, which is completely different from the atmosphere in which Wang Qing listened to the children of the Taixue aristocracy.

Listening carefully, the confusion on Wang Qing's face became even heavier.

“…… Every day, clean the outer pavilion, from east to west, first pavilion, then tables and chairs......"

"There are two pavilions in the east courtyard, two stone tables, eight stone benches, and the west courtyard...... There are three sets of chess equipment in the chess room. It needs to be wiped and maintained daily. Qingtian jade seeds need to be wiped with Rob. ...... needed for Nanyang salt rock seeds"

"Article 11 of the ninth chapter of the harem palace slave precepts, slaves and maids must not be involved in words...... For the first offender, the pun will be punished with 10 times; Repeat offenders shall be punished with a stick for twenty ......"

The vestibule of Huayang Palace. There were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing in a row, with a bowl of water on their heads and a book in their hands. Judging from the content they read aloud, it can be inferred that these books should record the trivial affairs and regulations of the palace, and they smell of cumbersome oil and salt, which is by no means comparable to the profound interpretation of the books collected by Taixue. However, looking at the way they "read" with a bowl of water on their heads, it is easy to guess why they recited the palace rules so loudly.

Those original slaves of Huayang Palace. There are often offends in the palace rules, but among these palace slaves now, aren't there a large number of newcomers selected by Concubine De? After Concubine De's training, will they not even be able to remember the basic palace rules?

The female officer who led the way shouted: "The princess has arrived!" When the princess Wang Qing walked into the vestibule with a suspicious face, she saw that the palace slaves who had just stood there in a row and recited the palace rules were kneeling in a row at this moment. Everyone has a book and a bowl of water in front of them, and this way of saluting always feels a little weird.

"Slave maid to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chitose Chitose!"

After the neat salute and chanting, the scene fell completely silent. The servants kneeling on the ground still bowed their heads, and even the rhythm of their breathing seemed to be neatly choreographed in advance and could be suppressed, and they really didn't even dare to have more atmosphere.

Wang Qing looked at the row of black hair on the ground on the back of her head, and the corners of her mouth twitched very subtly.

She remembered that when she came to Huayang Palace before, the servants in this palace saluted her, and the big gifts were all waived. Most of them were contaminated with the habits of the emperor's younger brother, and although the etiquette was aggravated, it was only deep to the ground, and they quickly straightened their faces, and what they gave back to her was not a cold salute, but more a comfortable smile in their hearts.

Who doesn't like beautiful things, and a smile is the expressive beauty of people, no matter how beautiful the face is, when the face is straight, the beauty has to be reduced by three points.

And now this row of heads in front of me, I can't see the facial features, as if I can't even count as a human being, a row of puppets.

"Get up!" Princess Wang Qing raised her hand, not caring whether the puppets could be seen or not.

On the surface, she looked like a princess was arrogant and indifferent, but in fact, she was wondering in her heart: What happened to these slaves in Huayang Palace? In the past, when she came to Huayang Palace to chat with the imperial brother to relax, of course, these palace slaves also did their best, but they did not have such an exaggerated posture in front of them.

Although Wang Qing doesn't come to Huayang Palace every day, she is only familiar with the faces of the servants in this palace, so the large number of palace slaves has not changed significantly from the usual changes for her.

It wasn't until these people fell to their knees that this strange expression suddenly became extremely clear.

Wang Qing raised her eyebrows. She also didn't like this kind of etiquette that was too modest, but in fact it was cut out of a wide distance. These are useless things, no matter which nobleman, or even down to a large private household, the master's family also needs a few intimate servants. Although they are servants, they are really friends or half of their relatives, and when the master needs it, they can really make friends with their hearts and ask for warmth.

In the past, Wang Qing felt that there were a little too many such slaves in Huayang Palace, although they were all raised by the emperor's younger brothers, and serving the master was indeed a unique and convenient place, but she was still a little uneasy, and she was worried about spoiling the slaves. Now the state of the servants in Huayang Palace seems to have changed to suit her wishes, but she only realized at this time that if she really changed like this, the imperial brother Bacheng would be extremely uncomfortable.

- Even she, a princess who doesn't come often, already feels uncomfortable.

Wang Hong was not in the courtyard, which seemed to confirm the result she had silently deduced in her heart.

The palace slaves who knelt in a row finally stood up on the premise of receiving the master's order. Although they could no longer face Her Highness with the back of their heads, they all hung their heads humbly, and stood in a row of stakes in a stiff posture.

Wang Qing made it difficult to identify it, and found that in this row of people, although they were not sure that all of them were newcomers, they were the people who were most familiar to the second prince. But there was not one of them in it.

She had long heard about the change of slaves in Huayang Palace, but she didn't expect Concubine De's action to be so big, and after only a few days, had the old people in Huayang Palace been transferred?

The thoughts in his heart changed several times in an instant, Wang Qing's eyebrows suddenly twisted, and he said with a slight sigh: "What's going on?" That's how you serve His Royal Highness?"

A row of "stakes" all trembled on their shoulders, and their heads hung lower. One of them, a palace slave who seemed to be in charge of a small job, was a little calmer, but he was also afraid to raise his head, and still lowered his eyebrows and replied: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince instructed the slaves and maids to recite the palace rules, and the slaves and maids did not dare to slack off."

Wang Qing raised her eyebrows. Do not give the slave who leads the speaker a gap in thought. Immediately added: "Since you are all here to endorse." So which slaves and maids are serving His Royal Highness now? Go and call the slave here! ”

"It was Shangguan Qi who led the second prince and left the palace...... I went to the Yeyue Courtyard ......" This palace slave was just halfway through his words, but for some reason, suddenly his voice trembled. At the end of the words, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and confessed: "Please forgive your Royal Highness the princess, the slaves and maids really can't stop it!"

Lowering her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on the back of the head of the trembling black hair on the ground, and Princess Wang Qing could probably determine why her second brother Wang Hong had left Huayang Palace.

She secretly sighed in her heart, if she didn't use fraud like this, these slaves and maids would be exempted. It's going to be vague about the whereabouts of the second brother! In short, they don't think that His Royal Highness the prince will encounter any danger in the palace, but if they tell the master, the second highness actually goes to the cold palace, which is really dangerous for them slaves. There is a possibility of guilt at any time.

These slaves and maids keep saying that this can't be touched by the master, and the master can't go there, but in fact, these "concerns" are based on exemption from responsibility, and they don't consider the master's wishes at all. If they don't need to bear the responsibility, the real mentality of these slaves and maids is revealed, and they are often the worst slaves in the harem who bully each other.

Wang Qing didn't want to talk nonsense with such a slave, so he just threw down a sentence: "Continue to recite." , regardless of the palace slave who was kneeling on the ground, he summoned the accompanying palace maid and turned around and left Huayang Palace and went to Yeyue Courtyard.

Although the new dynasty of the southern kingdom changed its surname to Wang, and the official system of Beijing was also purged and moved by nearly thirty percent, the buildings occupied by the brain operation of the national dynasty were still in the new Kyoto of the previous dynasty, not to mention returning to the capital of Zhongzhou, which had the background of more than 300 years of imperial capital. The harem of the royal residence was also not rebuilt, but only renovated in lacquer, and most of the buildings remained in their original appearance.

The number of concubines that the emperor has today is very small. The first is because the emperor is too busy, and he is so focused on state affairs that he doesn't have the heart to take care of the harem at all. Moreover, the two princes have grown up, and the focus of the Beijing officials' thoughts has gradually shifted to whose family the crown prince's crown will fall to. At this time, if the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household jumped out to plan to add incense and send beauty to the emperor, not to mention that the emperor himself was too lazy to pay attention to it, it would be easy for the people who had built this to become the spearhead of the group of officials who were preparing to elect the crown prince.

The opportunity for the Ministry of Rites to make contributions will be about the time when the prince chooses a concubine. It's just that the crown prince's golden crown will fall on which prince's head, this matter has not yet been implemented, in this half-baked period, even if the Ministry of Rites mentions this matter, most of the high-ranking nobles who are holding the chips of the noble girl in their hands are just shrinking their hands and not cooperating. Even if you marry a daughter, it is best to marry the prince's choice, and everyone knows these things.

Gradually, the matter of the draft and abundant harem was put on hold so lukewarmly.

The harem is even colder, and the Yeyue Courtyard, which plays the role of imprisoning criminal concubines in the harem, is even colder.

But this cold palace was also built in the previous dynasty, which consumed some manpower and wood and stone resources, and the emperor was unwilling to demolish it casually, but he couldn't think of it for a while and couldn't think of it could be converted into a building with any other function, so it was left empty.

Although it's really quiet here, it's not even a little popular, what is the second prince doing here?

Standing at the gate of Yeyue Courtyard, looking at the big lock on the door, Princess Wang Qing was a little annoyed. It's just that she didn't quite believe that the palace slave dared to lie to her in Huayang Palace before, so the anger in her heart was on her face, and the calm questioning was more obvious.

Wang Qing quickly thought of the Shangguan flag collar mentioned in the palace slave's words just now.

The flag leader is a kind of small official in the royal honor guard, that is, the flag bearer, the flag leader and the flag soldier have a little superior rights, and there can be a mount when raising the flag. When there is no need for the honor guard to attend any activities with the royal driver, most of the flag-raising soldiers are on duty at the gate, and some of the flag leaders are on standby in the courtyards of the harem. This kind of small officials who are not in the formal establishment can neither be completely regarded as palace slaves, but they also do not have real power, and the only advantage is that the waist card with the flag collar can move around more flexibly in the palace.

In the previous dynasty, the location of the surface scenery of this kind of idle meal was specially set up for the children of the nobility, so that they should not always think about messing around in the market, being an errand in the palace, learning more rules, and seeing the way of doing things for some important ministers who can enter the inner courtyard of the palace, and gain some experience.

After the change of dynasty, the current emperor does not have so many intertwined aristocratic relatives, and the nobles of the previous dynasty have also been raided and killed, and the candidates for the banner leader have also become unnecessary due to the environment, all of them are idle children of the nobility standing guard. But even so, the background of the flag leader candidate can't be too contemptible.

This Shangguan Fei is an exception.

Even if you don't mention Shangguan's background as an orphan from a poor family, let's just say that he is just a small flag soldier of the royal honor guard who treats his sinful body, and he can still achieve the position of flag leader.

Although the princess Wang Qing didn't understand the second brother's reason for valuing this Shangguan Fei so much, she probably saw that Shangguan Fei was trained by the second brother to become a confidant. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the harem, even if she is a woman, the dormitory also focuses on cultivating two female officials who will not just kneel and confess, but have some ability to do practical things, and the second brother has a few henchmen.

And as a flag leader, he only needs to be called when the prince is summoned, and he usually doesn't have to stay in the dormitory, and his main duty is still in the royal honor guard, so it is not easy to be offended by the women in the harem. If Concubine De wants to cut off Shangguan Fei's connection with the second prince, unless she clears him out of the royal honor guard, but for the harem concubines, it is a little difficult to reach out to this step.

Seeing that the gate of the Yeyue Courtyard was still locked, and it was impossible for the imperial brother to be inside, the princess Wang Qing thought for a moment, and did not plan to leave immediately, but instructed the female officials around her to look around the periphery of the Yeyue Courtyard.

Concubine De is really ...... It's too worrying, the imperial brother can only find Shangguan Fei to go out for a walk at this time, isn't this a little sad and helpless? Wang Qing was thinking so in her heart, and when she reached the corner of the left hand on the periphery of Yeyue Courtyard, she saw three backs sitting in a row dozens of feet away.

Wang Qing recognized it at a glance, and the somewhat thin back sitting in the middle was her second brother, the second prince Wang Hong.

Whether it is a familiar person or not, you can get it by looking at the back. Facing the row of heads in Huayang Palace before, Wang Qing only felt dizzy, but now facing the three people sitting with their backs to this side dozens of feet away, after she recognized her second brother Wang Hong for the first time, she immediately recognized that it was about Shangguan Fei on the left, and the one on the right was Jia Zhong, the chief eunuch of Huayang Palace.

Seeing that these two people accompanied the second prince on the trip, Wang Qing was worried, and ordered all the palace maids to stay in place, only taking her confidant female official with her, and walking towards the three people sitting side by side in the distance.

The second prince, Wang Hong, sat upright on the small horse, with his shoulders flat and his back straight, as if he was not sitting on a rough horse, but a throne that shocked the vastness of the country, shouldered the heavy responsibility of the people, and symbolized the supreme power.

In fact, this kind of sitting posture is a compulsory course in the study of every prince and nobleman, standing, sitting, speaking, and walking are all knowledge, all of which need to show the momentum after becoming famous. But he's fishing now, is it so solemn? Fishing in this way is much harder than going directly into the water and fishing with a net, which obviously deviates from the original purpose of fishing and leisure!

When Wang Qing walked to a distance of about ten steps from his second brother Wang Hong, he looked at this younger brother of the prince who was used to doing things like this, but in fact his heart was quite soft, and couldn't help but joke in his heart-
