No pets
What if there is no pet?
This is a very realistic and urgent problem, at least for Xu Xun, being unfavored means that she can't get much salary every year. According to Mama Li's explanation, there is no fixed number of this money at Xu Xun's level.
The rules in the palace, below the concubines, are miscellaneous, and the number of Jieyu, Zhaoyi, nobles, beauties and so on varies from time to time. Except for the concubines who can take offerings, the rest of the palace concubines have no fixed treatment. Xu Xun doesn't need to be too smart to know that the favored palace concubines must take a lot, and the unfavored, although they will not have nothing, but of course it is not easy to compare with others. Maybe she will take a few hundred times a year, but if it is more miserable, she may not even have a few hundred times.
Of course, even the concubines in the cold palace still have dozens of pocket money in a year's name. Xu Xun's worries are a bit excessive, but she rewards her grandmothers four times a year, eight times at a time, and it is almost a hundred times here. If she gets two hundred yuan of pocket money a year, the remaining one hundred yuan Xu Xun can't use it at all, and she has to keep it to reward some of the princesses and princesses. She can't afford any private money at all, if she wants to make her own powder like the concubine, or ask someone to go out to buy some bits and pieces to return to the palace, or - think a little further, if she asks someone to bring some money to the family, where is 200 yuan a year enough? At least 400 can be said to be 500 times.
Xu Xun has not yet reached the level of being able to communicate with the family, and she can't think of it so far for a while, but she heard a few words from the concubines in the womb, and heard that if the years are deep in the future, you can send someone to deliver a few words to the house, and you have to put on a few feet of silk at a time: according to this statement, the cloth that Xu Xun takes in a year can't be consumed for long, except for the dowry she just fell into the palace, she wants to save money, but it is not so easy. It is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to barely break even.
But then again, there is nothing to spend money in the palace, anyway, she is famous, she has been registered, and it is impossible for her to be released for the rest of her life. It's not a big deal if you don't save money, is there still a mouthful of food for her in the palace? Xu Xun comforted himself every time he counted the money and was worried, if there is no favor, there is no favor, anyway, life is still the same?
Indeed, except for money, whether there is a pet or not, Xu Xun's life doesn't seem to make much difference.
There is a lot of imagination about life in the palace outside, and when Xu Xun used to listen to books in the teahouse, he also heard the story of 'Tanuki for the Prince'. She doesn't know how the harem of the previous dynasty was, but in the harem of this dynasty, there is no such thing as competing for favor at all. - It's not that the concubines of this dynasty are all virtuous and virtuous lady models (first of all, Xu Xun feels that he is not), but if you want to compete for favor, the first one, at least you have to find a person to compete for favor.
Xu Xun didn't know what happened to the emperor and the crown prince, but the grandson has always been very busy. In addition to meeting each other every morning and saying a few words, throughout the day, the grandson generally has to go to class, and when he is not in class, he is also outside, Xu Xun doesn't know what he has to be busy with, but the grandson will not go back to the inner courtyard residence until after dinner.
When he returned to the courtyard in the evening, if he wanted to spare anyone, he sent someone to call them over. Xu Xun also noticed that although He Xianxian and Taisun Concubine are obviously very different in Taisun's heart, they are treated very consistently in this kind of matter, both of them have come back in the past two or three hours, and they generally don't spend the night by Taisun's side.
In this case, if you want to compete for favor, how should you fight? Do you want to run to the grandson's residence and fight over an empty house?
Besides, the affairs in the Taisun Palace are all in charge of the Taisun Concubine, and the Taisun never seems to ask about the life of the ladies in the palace, whether they are favored or not, they are just two hours after He Xianxian sees the Taisun every three or five hours. There are twelve hours in a day, more than three hundred hours in a month, and most of the time, women and women stay together. I just want to show off, but there's nothing to say. Aren't we all living the same life? Except for He Xianxian blushing and saying a few words to her, "It really hurts", Xu Xun's life has not changed.
By the time the Inner Court started classes in March, Xu Xun had really accepted the fact that he was about to lose favor for the rest of his life. It's been almost a month since the grandson came back, and he was very kind to her, but he didn't mean to let her sleep, it seems that Xu Xun just doesn't like the grandson, let alone Xu Xun, even a few grandmothers seem to have accepted this result. At the beginning, when Xu Xun asked them how much money this unfavored concubine could get a year, Mama Qian also counted her down, "I just can't pretend in my heart, it's too frizzy." ”
But in the past few days, when Xu Xun brought up this topic again, Mama Qian changed her tone, "You don't have to worry about this, the money of Taisun Palace, it is in charge of Concubine Taisun." With your relationship with her, how can you be treated badly? You are blessed with such the first batch of concubines. Running for election with the princess, sister-like friendship, don't worry about this anymore. Those girls who come in the future, if they are not favored, they will be worried, and they will not be able to go around the princess and concubine......"
Although these words are not high-sounding at all, they speak to Xu Xun's heart. How the princess and her relationship were, the little girl knew in her heart, she settled down at once, she was not favored, but she didn't care anymore. On the contrary, he was more curious about the upcoming court training class in the inner court.
This is the old rule of Empress Renxiao, once a month to give internal training, all the ladies in the palace go together, even the crown princess and the princess have to go, and of course a large group of concubines such as the two palaces also have a share. Xu Xun is not curious about what she talks about internal training - she is by no means such a person who loves to learn. She just wanted to see the concubines in the palace, and she also wanted to take a walk in the inner palace. Usually, the concubines of Chunhe Hall and Taisun Palace can't enter the inner palace casually, Xu Xun doesn't know Weishenme, only knows that it is the rules set by the crown princess, except for the time when he was canonized, Xu Xun has not entered the inner palace, and he has not visited the imperial garden.
Compared with the distant day of favor, the day of the internal training on March 2, but it was in the blink of an eye, and that morning, several grandmothers came to help Xu Xun dress up, in the words of grandma Sun, "You went out, that represents the face of the Taisun Palace, in a day like today, you must not fall into the share of the Taisun Palace." ”
Having said that, after all, I went to listen to the lecture, and I was too ostentatious and inappropriate to dress up. Xu Xun wore a long jacket with a vertical collar with blue cloud pattern, a horse-faced skirt with dark patterns of goose yellow flowers and birds, a cloak with peach gauze embroidered flowers and birds, a small gold silk crown, and two pearl earrings. Mama Sun said, "Jieyu is at this age, she can't hold it down, but she is so light and playful, the weather is a little hot, she doesn't wear too much gold jewelry, and the pearl earrings look cooler." ”
Xu Xun took a picture of the bronze mirror, and he also felt very good, and when he went to greet the princess, the princess also smiled and said, "Well, Xiaoxun wears the sky and the water is blue, it is very elegant and good-looking." ”
Taisun was originally sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed drinking tea, but at this time, he also turned his head to look at Xu Xun a few times, and asked a little curiously, "Why didn't you have powder today?" ”
Taisun this person, although black and strong, but indeed very kind, Xu Xun is not afraid of him now, although he doesn't say much, but when he speaks, he is also very casual, she said honestly, "It's hot, I will listen to the class for a while, there are many people, in case I sweat, my face is sticky, it will be too uncomfortable." ”
Taisun smiled dumbly, thought about it, and said, "Yes, on the day of the summer last year, if there is anything, you must salute that day, the powder on the faces of many Chinese people is a little mushy, and it is an underworld road when you wipe it, which is strange and disgusting." ”
Concubine Taisun said, "You forgot, last year it was praying for rain, and you had heat stroke that day......
Then Taisun and Taisun talked to Taisun about the drought in the capital last year, and Xu Xun and Taisun ran out of shares of today's conversation - after she said it, she also complained to herself a little in her heart: How did you tell Taisun that it was either snooze or paste, it was such a disgusting thing.
However, then again, Xu Xun is wearing light clothes today and no makeup, which is indeed beneficial. Although the Zhengyang Palace that listened to the internal training is not small, it is very difficult to squeeze out a palace concubine, there are four in the Taisun Palace, and there are more than 20 in the Taigong Palace, and they are all only famous, and the emperor has more than half of the people, and the small half has not arrived, judging from the futon, it seems that there are always dozens of people. With so many people crowded in the main hall, it was just Meng Chun's weather, and it was already hot enough. Sun Yunu, Xu Xun, and He Xianxian are young, sitting in the place near the palace gate, they can still blow the wind, and they all feel a little stuffy, and those who sit in the depths of the hall can imagine how hot they are.
The people of Taisun Palace arrived at the earliest, and the Taisun Concubine had to sit in front, she and the crown princess and Zhang Guifei Niangniang had special seats, so the three little girls were crowded in a row of Zuihou sitting by the side door, He Xianxian found a position that could blow through the hall, the three of them sat together, while being greedy for the cool breeze, while quietly biting their ears, Sun Yunu introduced them to the concubines who came in from the main gate one after another, "This is Concubine Han Li, that is Concubine Cui Hui, ah, Concubine Wang Xian Niangniang......"
These ladies are not very old, the youngest seems to be Concubine Han Li, who seems to be a few years older than them, and the eldest Cui Hui Niangniang seems to be in her fifties, and the two stand together, looking like they can have two or three generations apart. Concubine Cui Hui's waist is a little bent, and the corners of Concubine Han Li's eyes are not wrinkled.
Except for Empress Renxiao, the emperor's concubines did not give birth to heirs, and Concubine Cui Hui was naturally no exception. is in her fifties this year, and of course she is not spoiled, but the Tai half concubine is still respectful to her. Even Concubine Zhang Guiniang, although she is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, is still very polite to Concubine Cui Hui and asks her to sit down next to her. In fact, in terms of age, she is still younger than Concubine Hui, and she can be more than ten or twenty years old.
Xu Xun watched from a distance, her heart couldn't help but move, and after a closer look, she also found that although the older concubines were definitely not favored, the young Jieyu and Zhaoyi were very polite and respectful to the elders who were equivalent to their names.
Of course, the internal training also taught the palace concubines to be gentle and thrifty, and to live in harmony. It is also natural for the elderly to be respected, but Danli says so, and whether or not it can be done is another matter. Xu Xun didn't take this too seriously at all, but now when he saw that the concubines and concubines were actually strictly implementing this rule, a big stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart - no favor, it doesn't matter if there is no favor, after boiling up the seniority and getting old, He Xianxian or her, everyone is not the same without favor?
When she returned to Taisun Palace on this day, Xu Xun's steps were unprecedentedly brisk, and she was ready to start her own happy life without pets.
However, that night, the little middle-aged man in the grandson's house came to pick her up in Xu Xun's house.
