training
Xu Xun didn't enter the palace of the imperial grandson from the beginning.
Mama Zhao told her that the Heavenly Family attaches great importance to the orthodox inheritance, and before the Taisun Concubine became pregnant, the palace people around the Taisun had to take the Shunzi soup on time even if they were favored by the Taisun, so as not to give birth to the child in front of the Taisun Concubine and bring unnecessary trouble to the inheritance of the Heavenly Family. Now that the princess is just getting started, Xu Xun, these imperial concubines, will not be admitted to the palace for a while, which is also for their consideration.
They are different from palace maids, they are seriously selected, and as concubines, although they cannot be compared with the treatment of the princess, they are also cared for. If you start with the princess, then you have to take the child avoidance soup every time you are favored, which is also quite damaging to the body, and it is likely that you will not be able to give birth to the grandson in the future, which is contrary to the original intention of the draft. Therefore, Zhang Guifei, who is now the most respected in the palace, took Xu Xun to this palace in the remote part of the West Sixth Palace, and lived with He Xianxian, the grandson Zhaoyi, and when the time was right, let them enter the palace to serve the imperial grandson.
Xu Xun didn't care about this at all, after a few grandmothers' teachings, she had buried a deep fear of the imperial grandson in her heart, and always felt that the imperial grandson was a fierce person with an unpredictable temper, and if she was not satisfied, she would be sent to the cold palace. She also wished to live with He Xianxian for a while longer, although she couldn't go out of the palace at will, but at least she was freer than at home.
He Xianxian is also very familiar with her, she has been living alone in the palace for a year, how can she be unhappy when someone comes to talk with her? Although the two of them have to go to class separately and live in different palaces, they will be invited to talk and eat snacks together when they have a little time.
After entering the palace, Mama Zhao began to slowly introduce the personnel in the palace to her, knowing that she herself was from the Department of Teaching Workshop, and she was more familiar with people in the palace.
A long, long time ago, when the grandfather was great, there were originally more than 100 female officials in the palace, which were in charge of the queen mother, divided into six bureaus and one division, and most of the things in the palace were arranged by these female officials. No matter what level of concubines they are, they can't act arbitrarily, and all needs must be brought forward by the Shang Palace, communicate with the envoys, and then communicate with the ministers. To put it simply, no matter what, you can't communicate directly with the outside of the palace, you have to communicate through the Shanggong Bureau. However, because there are also problems in the education and training of female officials themselves, most of the responsibilities of the six bureaus and one division are now replaced by eunuchs, and the basic system remains unchanged. Only the Si Bao, Si Yi, Si Ornament, and Si Gong under the Service Bureau, these four divisions are still held by female officials. In addition, there is also a female history in the palace, and 20 internal trainings formulated by Empress Renxiao are regularly preached, and the harem concubines must participate in the lectures regardless of their grade.
Other duties are under the control of eunuchs, but there is no specific personnel system, with the happiness of the master, maybe there will be more people in the palace department as errands, maybe this department will be abolished, and there will be no more messengers in this area in the future. However, these things don't need Xu Xun, the grandson Jieyu, to delve into them, she won't have any chance to manage people, she just needs to be managed. What exactly should be done with someone, her guide mother naturally knows.
In addition to these eunuchs and female officials in the palace, there are also a large number of palace maids and middle-aged people, some old palace maids are quite prestigious, they are called grandma, and the treatment and rewards are thicker than ordinary palace maids. For example, Xu Xun's four grandmothers, although they are only palace maids in the records, are regarded as nurturing and guiding grandmothers, even if they are the emperor's concubines, they can't be separated from such old people. The concubines who have just entered the palace need their help to familiarize themselves with the situation so that they can integrate into the court life as soon as possible. As for other palace maids, it is not something Xu Xun needs to care about, if she is not satisfied, of course, she can be replaced at any time.
The concubines in the harem are now managed by Zhang Guifei. This is a well-known virtuous and virtuous lady, who was a sister with the Empress Renxiao, treated the harem concubines equally, was very kind and generous, and naturally took care of the concubines of the imperial grandson. Although Xu Xun and He Xianxian couldn't go out if they were fine, they didn't feel that they were left out. Whether it is Zhang Guifei or the crown princess, they often send some fresh melons and fruits, and there are many eunuchs and palace people who come and go to the Roujia Palace, tailor-made clothes for them, and buy some dowries for them.
The dowry of the princess was specially ordered by the emperor to procure - Xu Xun did not know until now that when the draft girl was selected, the emperor had ordered Si Tian to divination, and the star qi was in the Jining area of Shandong. So Jining specially selected a virtuous woman, and the princess was an ideal candidate for the princess because of her innocent background, talent and virtue, and her auspicious and wealthy life. In the harem draft, she received special attention from the emperor and Zhang Niangniang, and was selected as the princess of the princess.
In other words, people come with backgrounds, and they are not quite the same as unlucky people like Xu Xun from the beginning.
Because it was valued by the emperor, the dowry of the princess was very prominent, and it was procured and sent to the princess's mother's house and transported to the capital during the ceremony. As for Xu Xun and He Xianxian, of course, they don't have this treatment, but they also got a lot of silk and silver money, and I don't know how much the amount is. Zhang Niangniang asked people to bring words, saying that the Roujia Palace was located in a small and inconvenient collection, and it had been sent to the crown princess, and the princess would collect it for them.
As for furniture and the like, the little girls don't care about this yet, and what they have now is mainly all kinds of jewelry, as well as rouge gouache and other things.
The palace also quickly sent them countless new clothes, Xu Xun used to just listen to some materials from Grandma Sun, but now he finally saw the real thing, what makeup satin, woven gold satin, shining gold satin, unicorn silk, silk silk, and silk Luoluo...... Now they have all turned into Xu Xun's new clothes, and the clothes of the four seasons from winter to summer have been made, and several of her grandmothers and palace maids have changed Xu Xun's clothes day and night to make them more suitable. And leave room for her to wear it when she grows up.
Xu Xun was drafted at the age of thirteen, and it was when she grew taller, because she was in the palace, she ate well, slept well, and didn't have to work, so she rose a lot in that half a year, not to mention the year at home, a few grandmothers opened a recipe, and the largest landlord's family in the Yuhuatai area may not eat so well - the Yuhuatai neighborhood used to eat two meals, and Mr. Xu's family changed it to three meals because of Xu Xun, and sometimes added a snack. She is more than halfway through fourteen years old, and she is quite tall among her peers, but she looks like she may be able to grow more. Therefore, when several grandmothers change their clothes, they consciously leave a little wrinkle, so that it is more convenient to change the line in the future.
Of course, there are also sets of various colored jewelry, all kinds of living utensils, many of which are unheard of by Xu Xun and He Xianxian, such as when Xu Xun entered the palace, it was soon summer, and there were two large copper plates in her house, Xu Xun didn't know what it was for, she thought it was a candlestick, but it was not like it, and she also put a little sundries on it, and later people told her that she knew that it was the summer that fixed the iceberg for her.
∥ Cheng started by looking at the pictures, Xu Xun first recognized the man's body from those bold and freehand spring paintings, understood what the gesture of Zhou Gong's gift meant, and she also knew that as the concubine of the grandson, she should also make him happy in the bed.
"The first few times will hurt like a knife cut, but you can't expect your grandson to serve you and tolerate you." Mama Zhao said. "Concubine Taisun and Taisun are enemies, and they still have to learn these things, so the nobles can't be squeamish. For your own sake, you still have to learn everything you need to learn as soon as possible. ”
These lessons are very difficult, and Xu Xun sometimes can't understand what she is doing, but she always remembers her mother's words, these four grandmothers will be her guiding grandmothers in the future, and they will not harm her.
So what the four grandmothers taught Xu Xun, Xu Xun learned with his heart. No matter how difficult it is, she also uses diligence to overcome it, Mrs. Xu has told her many stories of apprentices stealing art, those apprentices have to serve the master for many years in order to be allowed to learn from the side, Xu Xun feels that she must cherish the current good conditions.
Sometimes when they are free, the two little girls will sit together and say a few words about this matter, He Xianxian's several grandmothers also teach similar content, He Xianxian is unwilling to learn, she can't learn - those qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is very talented, but when it comes to the limbs, she is clumsy, the more she can't learn, the more unwilling to learn.
Xu Xun was also a little shy when she mentioned this, she blushed and didn't dare to say anything.
When they entered the palace for more than eight months, and at the time of the New Year, Xu Xun and He Xianxian waited for their own canonization edict, and Taisun Jieyu used a silver book, without a seal. With this silver book, she can be regarded as a score, and in the future, she will be able to leave her name in the score. can also be used as the grandson Jieyu to enjoy a fixed salary.
As a concubine like them, sometimes it is cheaper to act, Xu Xun himself does not know, but it is said that on the day she entered the palace, there were already officials from the Ministry of Rites who went to greet her. This time is equivalent to making up for a gift, Xu Xun and He Xianxian cleaned up for a while early this morning, and the people around them put on a dress, put on a full set of heads, and were hugged by a group of people to make a salute.
