Inshou Palace.

After a war of words in the cabinet, Zhu Changluo sent Wang An to pass the word, then returned to the harem, walked and walked, and arrived at the door of Renshou Palace.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The little envoy who accompanied him understood, waved his hand to stop Bu Yuan, and shouted loudly.

"See the emperor!"

The palace maid and eunuch on duty at the gate of Renshou Palace hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and after a while, a middle-aged palace man wearing a splendid moire jacket and skirt walked out of the palace with people joyfully, but he was not too afraid of Zhu Changluo, Ying Ying bowed, and his face was full of smiles.

"Didn't Your Majesty just come to say hello in the morning? Why did it come again so soon? ”

The palace man led the way, and then asked, looking very affectionate, not as awe as ordinary palace maids.

Zhu Changluo didn't put on the emperor's shelf, and said with a hippie smile.

"What is Yun Niang talking about, I am thinking about my mother and my mother, so I came to take a look, is it still early in the morning and late in the morning?"

"It's all the emperor's person, and it's still so unorthodox, I'll teach you a lesson carefully!"

Yun Niang looked helpless, pointed to the house in front of her, and said.

"The two ladies are talking in the warm pavilion, Your Majesty and go in by yourself, and the slave will go and bring some pastries for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Changluo shrugged his shoulders, then turned around and stepped into the warm pavilion.

In the warm pavilion, two graceful and luxurious women sit on the couch and talk, now it is the early spring, most places in the palace have gradually extinguished the furnace, only a few places are left to burn the furnace prosperous, Renshou Palace is one.

"The emperor is here, and he is sitting, the mourning family and his sister are still talking about the emperor, saying that now that the emperor has officially succeeded to the throne, the affairs of the harem should also be put on the agenda, and you will not become the emperor, your daughter-in-law is still the crown princess, it will be a joke!"

It was Queen Wang, or the Queen Mother, who spoke, in this chaotic month, Zhu Yijun's death was actually a little sudden, and Zhu Changluo was not prepared in advance.

After a month, I finally sorted out the affairs of the previous dynasty, but I didn't care much in the harem.

Of course, this is also because there are Empress Dowager Li and Queen Wang in the harem, and there is no big mess, so Zhu Changluo can feel at ease in the government affairs of the previous dynasty.

It's just that now that he has ascended the throne, things in the harem will naturally change.

Originally, because of the chaos of the previous dynasty, the harem was only maintained by the Empress Dowager Li and the queen Wang, first of all, the problem of the first emperor and the concubine, but this is easy to arrange, Zhu Changluo agreed in front of Zhu Yijun, and the concubines who came out of the order all followed the heirs to the king, and if they had nothing to do, they found a palace in the palace to settle down, so that they could live and support.

This is a small matter, a big thing is a matter of status, on the third day of Zhu Yijun's death, Queen Wang moved out of Kunning Palace, and lived in Renshou Palace with Zhu Changluo's mother, Concubine Gong.

And Zhu Changluo's crown princess Guo Shi moved into the side hall of Kunning Palace, but the gift of canonizing the queen has not yet been carried out......

"This is the right reason, my son will order the Ministry of Rites to go to the Ministry of Rites to carry out the queen's canonization ceremony on a date in the near future!"

Zhu Changluo has no opinion on this matter, it should be.

"Well, there's one more thing, what do you think of those concubines in your palace?"

Queen Wang also asked symbolically, and this sentence was what she really wanted to ask.

Zhu Changluo is not an abusive person, there is only one concubine in his palace, and the rest are all waiters, and there are only five or six of them, but how to arrange these five or six, Queen Wang has to ask Zhu Changluo's meaning.

"This ...... I wonder what the queen mother has arranged? ”

Zhu Changluo hesitated for a moment and asked.

Queen Wang smiled, and knew that he had a plan in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it, but then he sighed softly, this harem matter, after all, could not be satisfactory.

"The meaning of the mourning family, there are not many people in your palace, and it is very well arranged, the two women brought back from the Jurchens, the mourning family doesn't know what arrangements you have, but since they were in the East Palace, they didn't arrange much, and they didn't think about it was a person who had anything to do with the national economy, but the mourning family heard that they were all princesses of small tribes, and they shouldn't be too slow, and it was enough to canonize a concubine......"

Queen Wang paused, and seeing that Zhu Changluo's face had not changed, she continued.

"As for the Li family in your palace, although she is pregnant, after all, her identity is not enough, if she can give birth to a prince, she can be promoted to the concubine, but now it is not too high-profile, and it is the same as the first two, let's register a concubine! As for the remaining two......"

Zhu Changluo's expression changed slightly, but Queen Wang didn't care, glanced at the Wang family next to her, and said softly.

"Previously, Concubine Gong's sister told the mourning family about the life experience of the two girls, and the mourning family also knew that they were the first to follow you, but although you took off their good status for them, there are some things that can't be erased.

The harem system of the Ming Dynasty is not stricter than that of other dynasties, but it also has a set of rules.

Under the queen, there are two imperial concubines and four concubines, this is customized, and the concubines under it are relatively relaxed, but generally no more than nine people, at the bottom is the nine concubines set up by Emperor Sejong and other scattered titles such as Jieyu, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, nobles, etc., there are grades, but not high, and the treatment needs to be determined according to the emperor's favor, but under these titles, there is a layer called the selection of servants or talents.

These two titles, in fact, cannot be counted as titles, just to distinguish them from ordinary palace maids, although they have been favored by the emperor, but under normal circumstances, they will only get a part of the reward, and ordinary life is no different from ordinary palace maids.

If it hadn't been for the fact that she was pregnant with Zhu Changluo by mistake, I'm afraid that the Wang family would have ended up like this, and they wouldn't even be able to choose a waiter.

However, these arrangements of Queen Wang made Zhu Changluo's brows slowly twisted.

"Queen Mother, those two female real women, I don't have any opinions, it's just that the Li family and the other two girls, does the Queen Mother think about it a little more?"

Lingxue Wanzhu two girls, although their status is low, and it is a mistake to come to him, but they are the two most favored by Zhu Changluo Suri, although Queen Wang said that the treatment of Yulu is comparable to Jieyu, but in the end it is not a serious name.

As for the Li family, Zhu Changluo had a lot of help in the process of ascending the throne, and now she is pregnant, if she only gives nine concubines, she will owe her too much.

"In that case, it doesn't hurt for those two girls to give a beautiful title, but this Li ......"

Queen Wang frowned slightly, a little hesitant.

Now that Zhu Changluo has opened his mouth, she can't refute his face, the two girls have a low status, and they like the Wang family, so it doesn't hurt to lift it up, but the identity of the Li family, although Queen Wang is not very clear, how many things in the deep palace can really be hidden?

When Zhu Changluo asked the Li family to leave the palace, Queen Wang guessed her identity, and later sent people to picket her repeatedly......

Such a scheming woman is really not liked by Queen Wang, so she deliberately suppressed the position of the Li family, and after a little thought, Queen Wang continued to speak.

"It's better to be like this, this Li family will be crowned as a concubine first, and when she gives birth to the emperor's heir, both men and women, they will be promoted to concubines, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the outer court and the inner court!"

The practice of the Ming harem, if the prince is born, it must be named a concubine, after all, the prince has the opportunity to inherit the throne, and the position of the biological mother cannot be too low, but the birth of the princess is not necessarily, if it is a favored concubine, you can take advantage of the situation to be promoted to the concubine, but if it is not very favored, you have to stay up.

Now that Queen Wang promised, both men and women were promoted to concubines, which was a small concession, and Zhu Changluo couldn't continue to entangle, so he had to arch his hand helplessly.

"Everything is arranged by the queen mother!"

It's just that what everyone didn't notice was that Wang An, who was serving beside Zhu Changluo, suddenly changed his face and returned to calm again.

After arranging this matter, Zhu Changluo mentioned his intention today.

"Speaking of which, Zhenqin is indeed the queen who should be canonized, but the honorific titles of the two mothers should have been set now, and it was the son's negligence that was delayed for so long!"
