After more than ten years of desertion, the palace is finally lively again, since the second year of the emperor's wedding, the baby's cry has not been interrupted - although the first two little princesses unfortunately died, but such a thing is not uncommon in the heavenly family, at least the emperor's heirs are very smooth, there is no doubt about this, compared with his father, the emperor seems to have inherited Concubine Luo's talent for good birth. There are often more than two people in the palace who are pregnant, although there are many cases of slippery fetuses and difficult births, but such a strong fertility also makes the inner court and the outer court worry about the heir have been digested invisibly.

Under such circumstances, the eldest son of the emperor born to Concubine Zhou received a little less attention. It is not as beautiful as when the emperor was born at that time, when he was still in infancy, he was named the crown prince, and because of the inheritance of several generations of emperors, they all emphasized 'both descendants and elders', and the importance of the descendants was no less than that of the eldest son. To put it bluntly, although everyone knows that there is a cat, but in today's official statement, Prince Yiwen, King Qin, King Jin Gong, and Emperor Wen are all the sons of Empress Gao, and they are the brothers of the same mother. Therefore, after the death of Prince Yiwen, this inheritance should be passed down all the way in the name of the word, and with the death of King Qin and King Jin one after another, it fell to Emperor Wen. - Emperor Wen still wants to be face-saving in the end, and when he raised his own background, he didn't forget to whitewash the origins of his two elder brothers by the way.

In the final analysis, when Emperor Wen raised his army, he was already the eldest son of Emperor Gao, so he had to whitewash the identity of his descendants, which shows that the dynasty attaches great importance to his descendants. After the Queen Mother adopted the emperor, Emperor Zhang rarely entered the Queen Mother's bedroom, on the one hand, because the Queen Mother was indeed in poor health, and on the other hand, she was also concerned about the emperor's identity as a concubine, which was whitewashed.

In such a situation, the emperor often stayed in the Kunning Palace, which shows that the mind of giving birth to a concubine has not been extinguished, although the Zhou family gave birth to the eldest son, but still did not get the title, and the Wan family, the Liu family, are still concubines. Naturally, he didn't dare to be proud, but he was more careful than before he gave birth to his son, and he didn't go to Qingning Palace and Qing'an Palace so often to ask for peace, and when he was free, he took his son in his palace. As for the Wan family, it is even more favored, she has not yet had a child, she is just pregnant, and now she is discussing the matter of giving her a concubine Jia name - I don't know whose idea it is, this title is not the Jia name inherent in the harem of the national dynasty, it is clear that the emperor's harem is full of concubines without Jia titles, but they have to pick up the Jia name of a concubine and give Wan a canonization.

Chen is another name for Ziwei, the concubines who have received this title in the past dynasties, that is, two, one Concubine Wu Chen and one Concubine Li Chen, one of these two later established himself as the emperor, that is, when he was a concubine, he was also a powerful character, and there was no need to say much about his great achievements, which harem woman was not familiar? Another Concubine Li Chen of the Song Dynasty, who was Renzong's biological mother, although she did not recognize each other when she was alive, she was also respected and promoted many times. That's it, this Concubine Chen's title was only canonized when she was seriously ill, and she had a lot of intentions. Wan's title is here, what is the meaning of it, can it not make people think deeply?

When the eldest princess of Shanhua entered the palace to visit her mother, she also asked curiously, "Is this really the title?" ”

"The holy decree has been issued, can it still be fake?" The concubine said casually, holding her granddaughter and squeezing it, "It's better than the last time I saw you sink again, isn't it?" ”

The eldest princess of Shanhua has also been married for seven years, and has given birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is three years old this year, and she can already be brought into the palace to see the elders. It's herself, she was pregnant and gave birth last year, and she didn't enter the palace for a year, and this is the second time she has entered the palace after giving birth. The first time we met, I patronized and talked about the things before and after the production, and I didn't know much about the things in the palace.

"I heard that some time ago, I rewarded their family with hundreds of hectares of land, all of which were from the top land near Baoding," she said, gossiping. ”

The noble concubine glanced at her, and the eldest princess of Shanhua did not think so: her own mother was rampaging in the palace, and she was strict with her family to twelve points, and her grandmother, Mrs. Xu, who had been an old feudal monarch for many years, did not dare to say anything about the rights and wrongs outside her, so she had to look at the concubine and immediately shut up. But her eldest princess's temperament is much greater than that of her grandmother, even if she knows that the noble concubine doesn't like her to talk more about the rights and wrongs of the harem, she still talks about her younger brother's family affairs with confidence.

Xu Xun also can't do anything about his daughter, he was okay when he was a child, he was really afraid of her, but now that the child is older, he is a mother, and it is inconvenient to blindly suppress it - how much he has to give in and give some face. "Now it's all this trend, who let your brother loosen his hands, last year's reward for the queen, one breath is four hundred hectares, of course, for Concubine Chen."

Thinking of the past, I couldn't help but sigh, "After all, I haven't experienced the hardships of the people...... When I was first crowned a concubine, I got twenty hectares of land in addition to treasures, and that's it, and I was not less talked about. They all say that they are taking food from the people. That's how the reputation has gone, and now it's a few hundred acres, but no one says anything more. ”

The eldest princess of Shanhua still knows a lot about the affairs of her mother's family, "I can't say that, the land near Baoding, no matter how good it is, can't compare to the watered land in Nanjing, and it is connected together...... Your land, one acre is worth ten acres in the north, it looks inconspicuous, but the benefits all fall into your pocket. Now I want to reward it, but I can't reward such a good land. ”

Jiangnan was rich, and the capital had just been moved at that time, and the land price around Nanjing was the most expensive, even now, it was also multiple to the northern dry land, but at that time Emperor Zhang also did something poor, mainly because Nanjing was densely populated, and there was never a piece of land, all of which were divided into scattered small pieces, even if the official field was the same, at that time he felt that the management was inconvenient, and the space for the upper and lower hands of the officials was too large, so he ordered the official field to be replaced by a unified several large areas. Xu Xun was unlucky enough to become the first object to be rewarded with official land after such a land exchange, and of course he had to share some of the people's dissatisfaction -- the people who suffered from the change of land must also be the people who were exchanged, and it was definitely not the government's.

But the north is different, here is the homeland of the Yuan Dynasty, wars are frequent, the people in the famine years are easy to cannibalism, the population is not more than one, a large piece of land, is not a barren field, or the original official land, so there are a lot of official fields in the Gyeonggi area, and it is originally connected into a piece, and it is of course very easy to reward people. Although the number seems to be very different, considering the difference in status at that time, as well as the land price and other factors, the number of 400 hectares does not seem to be so outrageous. The concubine has been sealed all over the time, and the land has also been given, and the number is not too small, so it is a little disagreeable to the eldest princess of Shanhua.

"The number of initial rewards is so high, it will be almost a thousand hectares in less than two years, what if you are promoted again? This is only the first favorite concubine, a few more in the future, and after rewarding the existing good fields, it is inevitable that you will have to use the tuntian......" The noble concubine didn't see it that way, and said a few words, seeing that the eldest princess of Shanhua looked confused, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, you don't understand." ”

Although the eldest princess of Shanhua is also knowledgeable, she has never learned this content, where do you know this, but she speaks for the emperor, "Although her hands are scattered, she is not partial, our family also has a share, and you don't have to look at it-"

"What do I do when I can't see?" The noble concubine smiled, "If you hadn't asked and talked about it, you wouldn't have mentioned it at all." You look at Qingning Palace, the Queen Mother either went to Xiyuan to relax, or went to the South China Sea to row, and the Nanyuan Buddha was idle - how could she ever ask about the things in the harem? Not to mention the sealing of Concubine Chen, even the crowning of the imperial concubine, she will not mention a word. ”

Surrounded by old people who have served for many years, the concubine has no scruples when she speaks, "Your younger brother is a man of all kinds, and now that he has a son, he is becoming more and more an adult, whether it is a matter of the court or the palace, don't talk too much in front of him, and he will treat you well." Don't ask too many questions and annoy him. ”

The eldest princess of Shanhua first bowed her head to be taught, but she was a little unconvinced after all, "No matter how tired you are, can you still abolish my title?" You are also too careful, the Queen Mother doesn't dare to make a sound, that's a weak heart, what do you dare not say, is he really abolishing your title? ”

As a concubine, she does have an advantage, as long as Xu Xun does not try to set up another and commits a heinous crime, even if he misses his actions, as the emperor's concubine, he will still be filial to the concubines. Just look at the ten years that Empress Chengxiao tossed in Emperor Zhang's harem, you can know that it is really a very comfortable thing for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law for many years. Shanhua eldest princess's words can't be said to be unreasonable.

"What nonsense." The noble concubine glared at the eldest princess of Shanhua, "Can't you deal with you as someone else?" Don't talk about you, it's me, he said a word, and he sent it to Shouling, you are a civil and military relative of the Manchu Dynasty, and someone will say one more word for us? Even if it is the queen mother, if he wants to toss and go to guard the mausoleum, it is just a lot of effort. With the power of the world in hand, can you still do things happily? You also underestimate the emperor too much. ”

"But ......" the eldest princess of Shanhua was still a little unconvinced, she muttered quietly, "When I was serving by my father's side when I was a child, I always heard him say that he was angry with the ministers......"

"Then how can it be the same...... Xu Xun also sighed as she spoke, she whispered, "Your father is ...... than your brother."

She shook her head again, and didn't bother to continue, "You have to toss for a while to learn to live a good life...... No matter what the Qian family says to you, don't talk too much in front of your brother. ”

The eldest princess of Shanhua knew that her mind had already been seen through, and she said abruptly, "It's not that they said anything more, I just think that this concubine is really too outstanding-"

"In the past, when your mother was named the imperial concubine, did the eldest princess have many mouths?" Xu Xun glared at his daughter, "In the palace, where is the married daughter who can talk more." Your father has been gone all these years, and you have also opened your own house as a hostess, always think about your children, the queen hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing to yourself? ”

"The queen's temperament doesn't look like she can get ahead." The eldest princess of Shanhua said, "Whether it is the Zhou family or the Wan family, she is a group of harmony, how can there be any superfluous words?" ”

"Wouldn't that be good?" Xu Xundao, "The queen's belly can be accommodated, this is a good thing." Do you still expect her to come out everywhere and let the things of your father's time do it again? I know that you are good with her, but at this time, you are not helping her, but you are hurting her. ”

Although the eldest princess of Shanhua is stubborn, she is not bent on going her own way, this time she entered the palace, she also had the intention of asking her mother, and she got a few words from the concubine, so she put out the thought of speaking for the queen, and instead chatted, "This also makes sense - but I don't understand it either, now the concubine and the imperial concubine are not sealed, but they have to be concubines...... Okay, once I made a statement, when I got to the next term, I don't know what to do, do you still want to make a princess? Compared with the imperial concubine, which is higher or lower? ”

The noble concubine was also amused by her words, and she showed a little mystery, "The emperor is attentive, and I also have some guesses...... It's just inconvenient to say more, you just wait and see what happens, if my guess is right, in a few months after sealing Concubine Wanchen, there will definitely be a move. ”

The eldest princess of Shanhua will be skeptical, "Can there be such a thing?" ”

"Just wait and see." The noble concubine patted her fan, and suddenly sighed again, as if she was talking to herself, "The things in the palace, in fact, don't worry, you can't turn the sky upside down...... What I have to worry about now is the court......"

The eldest princess can still interject in palace affairs, but she really doesn't know anything about court affairs, although Zhang Yuma has received an official position, but it is not bad, and the two husbands and wives have nothing to do with the government. Hearing the noble concubine speak, he could only smile, and let the faint sigh of the noble concubine drift away in the exquisite and luxurious carved beams.

The edict to canonize Concubine Wan Chen did not stir up any turmoil - the current imperial court has too many things to worry about, and no one can take care of the trivial matters in the harem. The canonization ceremony was held smoothly, but the emperor's purpose was obviously not just to canonize Wan alone, the canonization of Concubine Wan Chen seemed to be just a temptation, and it seemed to be a smokescreen bomb thrown by him. More than ten days after the successful canonization of Concubine Wanchen, he issued another edict to posthumously honor Emperor Zhang's Concubine Luo as Concubine Chen, with the nickname Duanhui Zhaomu, and repaired the mausoleum.

The significance of this move is much more far-reaching than simply canonizing Wan as Concubine Chen, but because of Concubine Wan Chen, it is difficult for people to grasp the true intentions of the emperor.

Covered by this turmoil, the news that the eunuch Wang Zhen, who had been expelled from the palace, re-entered the palace to serve seems to be not so eye-catching......
