The palace, as the head of an empire, undoubtedly has many rules, including the prohibition of flying kites or high-altitude items such as Kong Ming lanterns, this is to prevent people from using such objects to transmit news outside the palace, generally palace maids and chamberlains will strictly abide by them, only those new show girls do not understand the rules or although they understand it, they do not take this palace rule too seriously will make mistakes.

Seeing the emperor playing with the falling kite, an attendant ran over with a pale face, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid should die, I don't know which subordinate is worried about the emperor, and the slave and maid will immediately find out and give a heavy punishment." ”

This chamberlain is more than 30 years old, surnamed Zhao Mingnian, the palace chamberlain eunuch, who is responsible for the management of the new show girl, if the emperor is angry, he is the first to be unlucky.

"No need, just let them do it." Yang Yong said lightly. For these show girls, I am afraid that only the selection of show girls can be carefree during this time, and in a few months, no matter how high or low their status is, they will be bound by strict palace rules, if the entire palace is lifeless, what happiness can he have as an emperor, Yang Yong sighed in his heart.

"Yes, slave and maid."

Zhao Nian breathed a sigh of relief and retreated, if it was an ordinary small family jasper, it would naturally be trembling when he entered the palace, but among the new show girls, there were not people with prominent family backgrounds, such as the daughter of Li Hun, the prince of Shenguo, the daughter of the general Wei Wensheng, the daughter of Wei Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, etc., whether it was a family background or a possible force in the harem, such a show girl Zhao Nian not only could not manage, but also tried to find a way to tie up, maybe it would not be long before they would become the emperor's official concubines. Become the lord of the first house. If this kite is flown by such a noble girl, it is not possible to find out the punishment, and it is not possible to punish it, so you can only be in a dilemma.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yun Mei'er's mouth, obviously knowing why the emperor connived at these show girls. The little bit of vinegar just now disappeared suddenly, she is second only to the queen's concubine, and her son is very likely to get the position of the prince, what about these show girls, why should she be jealous of just show girls?

After strolling around the Imperial Garden with Yun Meier for almost an hour, and after having lunch together, Yang Yong returned to the study. Several pieces have been approved. There was a turmoil in my heart, I glanced up at random, and saw that the kite I picked up in the morning was placed on the table, and I reached out to pick up the kite again, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the kite was exquisitely made.

Yang Yong couldn't help but become interested in the owner of this kite, what kind of skillful hands did the girl stab out such a vivid flower and bird, and whether the kite in the morning was unintentional or intentional. If she just deliberately attracts her own attention, she is undoubtedly a bold and intelligent girl.

"Someone."

"What does the emperor command?" A chamberlain flashed in.

"Go, call Zhao Nian over."

"Yes, slave and maid."

The chamberlain bowed his head and stepped back after a while. Zhao Nian tiptoed in. Seeing the kite on the emperor's table, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, "Slave and maid, see the emperor." ”

"Hmm. Excuse me, dog thing, what are you laughing at? Yang Yong glared, knowing that Zhao Nian must have some dirty thoughts in his heart, and warned him.

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid are wronged." Zhao Nian shouted and was wronged, although he was an internal official, he hadn't read much poetry and books, but he was smart and good at figuring out people's hearts, which was also the reason why he was only in his thirties and became an inner eunuch.

The eunuch's heart is twisted, Yang Yong, as a person of later generations, naturally knows the danger of eunuchs, but unless Yang Yong is willing to cut his own power, the palace is inseparable from eunuchs, Yang Yong can only minimize the number and power of eunuchs, however, compared to normal people, eunuchs are undoubtedly pitiful people, for their welfare, Yang Yong has strengthened it several times since he ascended the throne.

"Forget it, I ask you, how many show girls are entering the palace right now?"

"Back to the emperor, there are already 1,120 of them, and if the show girls from the state capitals arrive, there will be more than 3,700 in total." Zhao Nian knew the advance and retreat, and replied quite formally.

The sentence of 3,000 beauties in the harem is not in vain, in fact, if all the palace maids are counted, no matter which dynasty or generation, there are tens of thousands of people in the palace harem, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, the number of palace people has swelled to more than 100,000.

"One thousand and one hundred people, they all live in the Silk Courtyard?"

This is pure nonsense, the emperor naturally knows where the show girl lives, and Zhao Nian still replied seriously: "Back to the emperor, that's exactly the case." ”

One thousand and one thousand people, although they have not gone through the selection of the last level, but at least they have the posture of a Chinese, Yang Yong's heart suddenly rose a thought to go to the Caisi Courtyard to see: "Well, I want to change clothes, go to the Caisi Courtyard to see, how about it?" ”

According to the etiquette system, after the show girl entered the palace, she did not go through the final selection, and the emperor could not meet the show girl, but the emperor was the largest in the world, and this Zhao Nian was obviously not a minister who could advise the emperor, but showed a flattering smile: "The emperor wants to go to the color silk courtyard, and the slave maid will lead the way for the emperor." ”

Yang Yong changed his clothes, and Zhao Nian and the two secretly went in the direction of the Silk Courtyard, the Silk Courtyard lived in all the new show girls, in order to prevent the show girls who were not familiar with the palace rules from breaking in, breaking the rules of the palace, although it was the inner courtyard of the palace, there were still a few guards, and the guards were all palace attendants.

Although Yang Yong is the emperor, it doesn't matter if he is discovered, but his face is not honorable, along the way, Zhao Nian first transferred the guards' inner servants in front, and then Yang Yong covered it in the back, and after a while, the three guards were like a fictitious, and Yang Yong smoothly entered the Caisi Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the Silk Courtyard, the sound of the girls chirping came into his ears, and along the direction of the sound, Yang Yong saw hundreds of girls standing on a flat ground, these girls were in groups of three or five, but they were very close to each other, as if they were about to hold some event.

Because the draft has always been the queen's responsibility, Yang Yong didn't know anything about the rules in it, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What are they doing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they probably have to accept the teachings of the grandmothers." Zhao Nian replied.

These show girls will undoubtedly have an advantage when they enter the palace first, and receiving many palace etiquette teachings in advance is one of them, which is very beneficial through the last selection, which will determine the level of their status in the palace.

In addition to the fact that the queen is unique in the palace, there are four seats for the lady, and the following are nine concubines, Jieyu, beauties, and talents; There are twenty-seven Baolin, the royal maid, and the picker girl.

Now in the palace, except for the queen and the lady, the rest of the seats are all vacant, and people who are interested in competing for favor in the palace will naturally stare at those positions, even if they get the lowest status of the bride, they are ten times stronger than ordinary palace maids.

Sure enough, as dozens of palace maids over forty years old came over, these groups of girls immediately separated, and with the command of the older palace maids, they formed a big or small ***.

Through the cover of the trees, Yang Yong approached the girls who were being taught, and a long-lost sense of excitement surged in his heart, this feeling is undoubtedly the feeling of voyeurism, these girls are young and lively, to Yang Yong's disappointment is that although most of the girls are beautiful, they are only very beautiful but none of them.

"What, are all the show girls in the palace like this?" Yang Yong couldn't hide his disappointment in his tone, if he was twenty years old, Yang Yong might think that the more women, the better, but now that women can be inexhaustible, there is no doubt that his eyes will be demanding.

"Your Majesty, this is just an ordinary show girl, and a really beautiful show girl has to go to the inner courtyard."

"Why, oh, I see." Yang Yong just figured it out in a blink of an eye, the status of the current show girls has begun to be divided into high and low, these temporarily managed chamberlains and grandmothers are also people, and the show girls who are outstanding in themselves and have prominent family backgrounds will naturally be taken care of more, so that they will remember the current favor after they soar, and now the people who can only receive these grandmother training in the outer courtyard may have been treated as ordinary palace maids.

Or Zhao Nian led the way in front, sneaking forward, Yang Yong came to the inner courtyard without danger, the inner courtyard is much quieter than the outer courtyard, and the number of people is much less, the color silk courtyard and the imperial flower courtyard are separated by a wall, in fact, there are many flowers and trees inside, and there are still flowing water in the rockery, Yang Yong followed Zhao Nian to hide behind a rockery, and swept the show girls around with his eyes.

The show girls in the inner courtyard seem to be much freer than the outer courtyard, Yang Yong has seen some people playing with jumping keys, skipping ropes, swinging and the like, and watching more than ten people in a row, most of these show girls are good-looking.

Just as Yang Yong was watching with joy, a voice like a yellow warbler sounded behind him: "Hmph, what are you doing here?" ”

This voice startled the two monarchs and ministers who were peeping, Yang Yong turned around, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing a light green dress standing behind the two, the girl's melon seed face, willow eyebrows, no matter from any point of view, it was very good, but at this time, her chest was heaving, obviously very angry.

"Hmph, you dead eunuchs, you will only sneak behind and peek, don't you know what it is to be above board, uh......"
