(118) Harem concubines

At present, some of the concubines in the harem are a little old, the princes and princesses have basically established a mansion, and the concubines have nothing to worry about.

The queen sent people to invite, all of them were very positive, really not to do something, or to be bored, to be a little lively, always to see.

Everyone arrived one after another, and the queen introduced them one by one

The emperor originally had four concubines, but Concubine Yao was no longer there, and there are currently three concubines, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yan and Concubine Xian.

Lady

She is the youngest daughter of Jingning Hou, he is the daughter of Jingning Hou's old son, and he has been spoiled since he was a child. Yun Xiangrong couldn't figure out why Marquis Jingning would send his youngest daughter into the palace, there was a gap in age between Concubine Shu and the emperor.

Maybe this is a way for important ministers to show loyalty.

Later, Yun Xiangrong knew more about the things in the palace, and with her understanding of the emperor's style of doing things, Concubine Shu was actually the queen's substitute. The world is unpredictable, and the emperor's idea is that if the current queen has a problem that day, the substitute concubine will go directly to the court.

The queen should have understood it a long time ago, so she will have a good relationship with Concubine Shu. It can not only show his generosity, but also show his loyalty to the emperor.

Concubine Shu also lives clearly, she knows the emperor's intentions, compared with being the queen, she is more satisfied with her current identity and status, the emperor is favored to her, after all, she is a substitute, the queen is wooing her, she doesn't have to take care of things, she is the person who wants the queen to live a long life.

Concubine Shu is the youngest of the concubines in the audience, although she is not beautiful, but she looks like the kind of lady with rich knowledge, with a strong bookish atmosphere, she is pregnant at the moment, but except for her belly, the whole person is very thin.

This time I came with the fifth princess Ning Muxiang, the little girl looked like she was seven or eight years old, with a bun of horns, very cute and quiet.

Ning Muxiang said two words throughout the scene, one was to greet the queen, and it could be seen that she and the queen were familiar. The second is called Yun Xiangrong's third sister.

Concubine Yan

She is the daughter of the predecessor Shang Shuling, Shang Shuling has now returned to her hometown, Concubine Yan looks average, and her temperament is a little arrogant. It is said that the saint was able to ascend the throne smoothly that year, and the former Shangshu Ling contributed a lot.

said that the reason why the former Shang Shuling sent his daughter to the palace was because he thought that she could become a queen, but it turned out to be just a concubine, Yun Xiangrong felt that Concubine Yan was really not suitable to be a queen, so to put it simply, it seemed that the affinity was insufficient.

It is said that when she was young, Concubine Yan's temper came up, and even the emperor dared to contradict it.

Concubine Yan has a daughter under her knees, that is, the fourth princess Ning Muying, who has just passed away this year. The four princesses are very beautiful, and they are also very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the four princesses are the most favored princesses by the emperor.

Yun Xiangrong didn't know if it was an illusion or what, he always felt that the fourth princess was hostile to him, so it shouldn't be, the two must have met for the first time, and there was no conflict of interest.

Virtuous Concubine

She is the younger sister of the Duke of Zhenguo, and she seems to be indisputable, but she is considered powerful in the palace, and at present, she is the same as the queen, with a prince and a princess.

The eldest princess Ning Muxi got married a long time ago, and she has two children. married Tang Bingchen, the eldest son of the secretary of the military department.

The third prince, Ning Xuyi, has already married Shi Miaoyu, the daughter of Zhongshuling, who is said to have just become pregnant. The third prince is the substitute for the crown prince appointed by the emperor.

Later, Yun Xiangrong had more contact, and he had a good impression of the three princes, who wanted to do something, but was very principled.

The eight concubines are Zhuang Concubine, Jing Concubine, Wan Concubine, Hui Concubine, He Concubine, Kang Concubine, Shun Concubine, and An Concubine.

Zhuang Concubine

She is from the Yienhou Mansion, is the younger sister of Yienhou, the daughter of the concubine, and when she was young, she was not only beautiful, but also very good at pleasing the saints. There is only one son under his knees, the second prince Ning Xuhe, and the granddaughter of the second imperial concubine Guozi Sacrificial Wine, Qu Xiaomin, has already given birth to a daughter, the little county lord Ning Zhen.

Respect for concubines

She is the younger sister of General Jin Wuwei of the current dynasty, and she looks a little chubby, with kind eyebrows and good intentions. The main thing is that I love to eat too much, and it was okay when I was young, but once I got older, my metabolism slowed down, and I didn't control my diet, so of course I would be fat.

At first glance, Concubine Jing is a person with no liver and lungs, a wide heart and a fat body.

Concubine Jing has a fourth prince under her knees, and the four princes were married in the middle of last year, and it has been a year now. The character of the four princes is that they have no ambitions and just want to enjoy the joy of being a prince.

The fourth prince is really a responsible man, and when he meets a folk woman he likes, as long as people are willing, he will immediately become a side concubine, completely ignoring the hidden royal regulations that the so-called side concubine must come from the official eunuch's family.

Fortunately, the royal family has clear regulations that only three side concubines can be established, and the two places have been used up at present.

For this reason, the fourth imperial concubine Gu Lingwei is really itching, she is not unable to accept the fourth prince marrying a side concubine, let alone caring about the background of the side concubine, but she feels that she has just been married for a year, and she is not pregnant, so she came out with two side concubines, which is too ugly.

The four princes also feel aggrieved, he likes gentle women, but the four princesses do things at a glance, and they are always very serious, so he feels very bored when he looks at the four princesses every day.

Concubine

She is the younger sister of the household servant, that is, Hu Xiaoyue's aunt, although the concubine is also a little old, but it can be seen that she was also a beauty embryo when she was young.

She had the best relationship with Concubine Yan in the palace, because his elder brother Tobe Shirou was a proud protégé of his predecessor Shangshu.

Concubine Wan gave birth to the fifth prince, and the fifth prince originally had some plans for his future, but he also knew that his family was not strong and could not help himself too much, so he could only be a quiet prince.

The fifth prince just got married at the end of last year and married Cai Jindan, the granddaughter of the Taishi.

said before that Jiang Qingchen was taken by a noble girl because of his heroic performance at the princess's banquet, and he was forced to go on a hunger strike and had to get married.

is Cai Jindan's sister Cai Jintong. A heroic woman who dares to love and hate.

Cai Jindan also felt that Yun Xiangrong was a dove occupying the magpie's nest and robbing her sister's position. Who would have thought that Yun Xiangrong and Cai Jintong had a good relationship later, Cai Jintong had long forgotten about Jiang Qingchen, because there was a more suitable one for him.

Hui Concubine

She is the daughter of Taichang Temple Taichang, who is very quiet and low-key, and often makes everyone ignore her existence.

The six princes under the knee of Hui Concubine are also a talent, Ning Xubo, he is not very interested in the affairs of the court, but he is very interested in traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he has traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland at a young age.

The relationship between him and Changping Hou is the best in the whole capital, because they have the same hobbies.

In the past few years, Concubine Hui really couldn't stand the days when he ran around all day long, mainly because she was worried that something would happen to him outside, so she begged the emperor to marry and set people in the capital.

Ning Xubo became the youngest prince of the royal family, and the emperor gave him a marriage and found a woman of the same age as him, that is, Liang Ruolin, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

It is said that Liang Ruolin's martial arts are good, Ning Xubo wanted to go out, but he failed several times, and he didn't use his family, so Liang Ruolin watched him alone.

Recently, I heard that Ning Xubo was going to write a book of Xiliang travels, and wrote about the interesting places he had been to in Xiliang over the years. There should be no plans to go out in the short term.

There are also concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines, all of whom were born princesses, and there is no clear record of several people on the relationship map given by Jiang Yaoyao, all of whom helped the emperor ascend the throne back then, and are now no longer in the court, and basically have no power in the court.

After so many years, they have not been favored, and the emperor named them concubines, firstly because they gave birth to heirs for the royal family, and secondly, because this also shows that the emperor's attitude towards the old ministers is not to forget their roots.

It is said that the woman that the emperor has been favoring in the past few years is a draft from the people, and after entering the palace, she was named a nobleman, everyone called her Chen Guiren, and she has not been promoted for many years after entering the palace, because the grade is too low, she will not attend formal occasions, and Yun Xiangrong has never had the opportunity to see her.

Yun Xiangrong felt that this might be the way my father really favored a woman, and didn't let you show up, but I would accompany you often.

Later, Yun Xiangrong and Zhuang Concubine became acquainted, and Concubine Zhuang once said when she was gossiping with Yun Xiangrong, that Chen Guiren was very average in all aspects, and the biggest growth was that she looked very similar to Yan'er, who was the princess when she was still a prince.

No matter how strong a person looks on the outside, there will be a mark in his heart, some of which will not be revealed because the conditions do not allow, and some of which are really placed in front of your eyes.

Yun Xiangrong finished the salute.

Originally, when the concubines arrived, they ate crabs and joked about it, which was considered to be an acquaintance, but the prince kept accompanying them, and these concubines really couldn't let go, and they basically concentrated on eating crabs.

The queen also thought it was boring, so she said that the time was almost up, and everyone should disperse.

The prince was the first to leave the Changchun Palace, and all the concubines also said goodbye.

Yun Xiangrong felt that it was a little interesting that Concubine Shu didn't move, it seemed that because she was pregnant, she couldn't get up immediately after sitting for a long time, and the fifth princess and the palace maid helped beat her legs and rubbed her waist, to be honest, it was a bit pretentious.

Concubine Zhuang was even more exaggerated, saying that the basket that the eunuch brought to hold the crabs was missing, and she had to go to the queen's small kitchen to find it herself. Concubine Zhuang's play is a bit excessive.

After the other concubines said goodbye and left, they saw that this concubine was not uncomfortable, Ma Li stood up, walked to Yun Xiangrong's side, and said with a smile: "Princess Rong, this is the first time we have met, I don't know that you are going to enter the palace today and have no preparations, this hairpin is a tribute from Persia this year, and I am pregnant after the saint rewards, Quan Xiliang is this one, it should be my meeting gift." ”

After the concubine finished speaking, like a trick, she took down a hairpin from the head of the fifth princess, which was finely made and inlaid with colorful gems. It's very beautiful.

Yun Xiangrong knew that this could not be shirked, so he hurriedly said: "Concubine Shu is too polite, thank you." ”

Yun Xiangrong took the hairpin.

Concubine Shu has been in the palace for so many years, and the wind direction is the best, I heard the queen say before, and the Duchess of Fuguo is very satisfied with Princess Rong, because she took the initiative to help the Fuguo Mansion get rid of Yang Xingkang's heart disease.

Concubine Shu knows in her heart that even if she is a prince in this child, it will take decades to do the best things, and now she has a good relationship with the upstarts in the DPRK and China, it doesn't cost much, and she can use it in the future.

Today, Princess Rong met people for the first time, and the prince came to accompany her, what does that mean, it shows that Princess Rong's status is not ordinary, and she will definitely make a profit with this gift.

Yun Xiangrong felt that this concubine was really scheming, and she didn't want everyone to see her giving a gift, but now that her summer clothes can't be covered, she puts it on the head of the fifth princess, who can notice this.

But also, to be a concubine at such a young age, it is not just by the family, it must have strength.
