The inner court is the innermost complex of the imperial palace, and in popular terms, the inner court is the place where the emperor and his family live their daily lives, but unfortunately, there is absolutely no warmth like a family harbor here, and there is only endless deceit.

The inner court is centered on the Qianxin Palace, the Kunhe Palace and the Yuyang Palace, the east and west wings have the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, and there are countless small palaces, the first half of the architectural style is solemn, serious, magnificent, majestic, in order to symbolize the supremacy of the emperor. The latter half of the building is full of life, and the palace is quite courtyard-style, with gardens, studies, pavilions, mountains and stones, etc.

Qianxin Palace is the place where the emperor lives and deals with government affairs, but now the government affairs are in the hands of the cabinet, and there are six departments to carry out, and the emperor has not many things to deal with.

Kunhe Palace is naturally the residence of the queen, as the residence of the six palaces, the master here is definitely the most powerful person in the harem, and the Yuyang Palace is the place where the harem rituals and the queen receive the concubines, in other words, the Yuyang Palace is almost the place where the queen deals with the affairs of the harem.

It's just that now in this Kunhe Palace, there is no real master.

Before Emperor Pingguang ascended the throne, he naturally had a crown princess, but less than half a year after the crown princess became the queen, she suddenly suffered from a strange illness, and after only two days of effort, she died.

No one could tell what it was, and no one really looked into it.

Originally, there was going to be another queen, but the harem concubines had their own forces, the concubines of the family, and everyone had family support behind them, and the competition for the queen's position actually evolved into a competition between families.

It's just that the emperor later made a decree that in order to mourn the deceased queen, he would not set up a queen for ten years.

Of course, this has become a rare thing, after all, the mother is in the world, a harem without a queen, a Yan country without a queen, how can the dragon and phoenix be auspicious?

But the strange thing is that the cabinet did not raise objections, but instead wrote a letter to support the emperor's decision, and praised the emperor's love and righteousness, which is really a wise monarch through the ages.

This incident has also provoked ridicule from other countries.

Now there is no master in Kunhe Palace, the head of the harem, and Xiao Guifei will take over the queen's duties for the time being, although Xiao Guifei is strong, but after all, she does not have the name of the queen, and even more in the harem, which concubine is not a powerful character, some things, even if it is Xiao Guifei, she does not dare to tear her face, and the phoenixes are gone, and it is even more scattered.

Changchun Palace is located in the east wing of the inner court, is one of the six palaces in the east, is the residence of the concubine.

Gonggong Ling led Han Mo's sedan chair to the gate of Changchun Palace, there were already palace maids waiting outside the palace gate, and when they saw the sedan chair stop, a plump and beautiful palace maid immediately stepped forward and said goodbye, and when Han Mo got down from the sedan chair, he said respectfully: "Fifth young master, you are here, Niangniang has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Han Mo was stunned for a moment, according to common sense, this palace maid should call herself "Lord Han", the title of "Fifth Young Master" seems to be a little inappropriate, and when he saw the appearance of this palace maid clearly, he suddenly realized: "Yes...... Are you Lingyan'er? ”

The palace maid smiled and said, "Fifth Young Master still remembers the slave maid?" ”

Han Mo sighed and said, "Eight years ago, you followed the second sister ...... Well, with the entry of the noble concubine into Beijing, you were only fourteen years old at that time, but now you are a big girl! ”

He was only eighteen years old, four years younger than the Ling Yan'er in front of him, but he looked old-fashioned, quite nondescript.

This Ling Yan'er's real name is Han Lingyan, that is the girl who has been with Han Shu since she was a child, the relationship is like Han Qing and Han Mo, when Han Shu entered Beijing, Ling Yan'er also resolutely accompanied her to Yanjing, that is the most trusted girl of Concubine Shu.

"It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, eight years have passed, and the fifth young master can still recognize the slave and maid at a glance, and the fifth young master's vision is really good." Ling Yan'er pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.

Han Shu was always with Han Mo when she was young, Ling Yan'er naturally knew Han Mo quite well, knowing that this fifth young master had always been very kind to her subordinates, and she also liked to joke with her subordinates, she was locked in the deep palace with Han Shu, lonely and depressed, seeing Han Mo at this time, it was like seeing the closest person, and she couldn't help but laugh, just to remember the carefree time when she was young.

Han Mo didn't know the pain of Ling Yan'er in the deep palace, in the various channels of his previous life, of course he understood the cautious lonely and desolate living conditions of the palace maids in the harsh environment of the palace, smiled softly, and said, "You can recognize me at a glance, isn't your vision also excellent?" He looked Ling Yan'er up and down, and said with a smile: "My Ling Yan'er has grown into a big beauty." ”

Ling Yan'er blushed, bit her lip, and lowered her head slightly, but quickly raised her head and said, "Yes, Fifth Young Master, Niang Niang is still waiting for you!" ”

At this time, Father-in-law Ling had already smiled and said, "Lord Han, our family will be sent here, and we will retire first!" ”

Han Mo hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao!" ”

Father-in-law Ling smiled, and then left with his subordinates.

Han Mo looked at Father-in-law Ling and was even more sure that this father-in-law had a certain influence in the palace. Maybe Father-in-law Ling doesn't have much power outside the palace, but in the palace, he has just traveled all the way, with heavy guards, and the harem is even more strict, almost every short walk there is a place to check, but when he saw Father-in-law Ling, it was polite, all the way, in front of Father-in-law Ling's face, it was very smooth, which not only made Han Mo more sure of this person's influence in the palace, but also a little surprised.

If this Father-in-law Ling brought in an assassin, and it was not Han Mo who sat in this sedan chair but someone with other intentions, would it be possible to come in smoothly?

Ling Yan'er saw Han Mo frowning, as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't dare to disturb for a while.

Han Mo pondered for a moment, and suddenly saw Ling Yan'er looking at him, and suddenly came back to his senses, and said softly with a smile: "Take me to see Niangniang!" ”

Changchun Palace, as one of the six palaces in the east, although it is not as majestic as the main hall, but it is much more magnificent than the general palace, glazed tiles, white jade pillars, marble floors, all kinds of plate plants are placed in the corners of the palace, bright and brilliant.

There were many houses in the Changchun Palace, if it weren't for Ling Yan'er to lead the way, Han Mo felt that he was very likely to get lost in the palace.

In Han Mo's heart, Yan Kingdom is an unstable country, the imperial power is weak, before entering the palace, he only felt that with such a national atmosphere, the palace would not be luxurious, but today he really appreciated the palace, and then he understood that the palace was far more majestic than he imagined.

Perhaps the people of Yan need such a palace to prove the strength of Yan State, so as to remind those countries that are eyeing Yan State that they should understand that with such a huge palace complex, Yan State's national strength is strong enough.

There is a quiet courtyard in the Changchun Palace, there is a small pond in it, the spring water in the pond is rippling, and there are several white cranes frolicking in the pool.

There is a rockery in the courtyard, like five fingers towering the sky, there are spirit birds inhabiting on the rockery, next to it is a small piece of green bamboo forest, after the harsh winter, the green bamboo forest is still persevering, a gust of wind passes, the bamboo forest out of the sound of swishing, the bamboo forest is that pool of spring water.

Han Mo entered the courtyard and saw the figure by the pool from a distance.

Ni dress brocade clothes, fluttering clothes, the beautiful and petite figure at the beginning, but at this time it was full of grace and luxury, standing there, calm and composed.

Eight years of harem wind and rain have turned the weak little girl into a weathered woman.

Han Mo slowly walked behind the man, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "The minister knocks to see the lady concubine!" ”

The woman turned around slowly, although eight years have passed, she is resolutely beautiful, but her immature face is now calm and composed, and the wind and rain in the harem have made her stronger.

Staring at Han Mo, Concubine Shu finally sighed faintly: "Little Wu, do you know that I would rather never see you again in this life!" ”

Han Mo was stunned for a moment, raised his head, Concubine Shugui's beautiful face had a hint of sentimentality, but her beautiful eyes were full of gloom.

"Get up!" Concubine Shu said calmly, and when Han Mo got up, she took two steps forward, staring at Han Mo's beautiful face, and after a long time, she said, "You have grown up!" ”

Han Mo thought that it would be an exciting scene for his sister and brother to meet, but at this time, it was calm and unwavering.

"Everyone has to grow up!" Han Mo looked at Concubine Shu and said softly.

Concubine Shu sighed: "When I left Donghai County, you were only ten years old, at that time, you were innocent and carefree, at that time, I only hoped that you would not enter Beijing in this life, and live happily in Donghai County." I just hope to never see you again, because I know that the time I see you again is when you get involved in the battle between right and wrong! ”

Only then did Han Mo understand the meaning of Concubine Shu's words.

It turned out that she was worried about herself, Han Mo was moved in her heart, showed a smile, and said softly: "Niangniang should know that the men of our Han family have grown up like eagles soaring over the East China Sea, and they must not cower under the wings of their parents. This road is what Xiao Wu is destined to take! ”

Concubine Shu's expression was even more gloomy, but she still smiled reluctantly, took Han Mo's hand, pointed to the courtyard and said, "Little Wu, do you know this place?" ”

When outsiders heard this, they were afraid that they would feel very strange, because Han Mo was entering the palace for the first time and coming to Changchun Palace for the first time, how could he know this place?

Han Mo immediately replied: "Yes." This is the Garden of Meditation! ”

A smile appeared on Concubine Shu's face.

Of course, their siblings understand this.

Jing Si Garden is the residence of Concubine Shu in Donghai County, located in the East Mansion of the Han family, and the layout inside is exactly the same as this courtyard today, which can also show Han Shu's homesickness.

"Is the Garden of Meditation still like this?" Concubine Shu asked softly, taking Han Mo's hand and walking slowly around the spring pool.

"Yes!" Han Mo replied: "There is no change, grandpa will send someone to clean it every day!" ”

Concubine Shu sighed and asked again, "How are everyone in the family?" ”

"It's all good!" Han Mo smiled and said, "The fourth brother has already entered the Zhenfu Army and become a captain!" ”

Han Yuan is Concubine Shu's younger brother, hearing Han Yuan's news, Concubine Shugui's face showed a look of relief, turned her head to look at Han Mo, and said softly: "You should have stayed in Donghai County with him...... Well, since you have come, you will go carefully on the road ahead. ”

"Yes!" Han Mo nodded.

The two sisters and brothers were talking by the pool, but they saw a palace maid outside the courtyard hurriedly come in, and said a few words to Ling Yan'er who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, Ling Yan'er nodded, walked over quickly, and said softly: "Niangniang, the saint has arrived!" ”

Concubine Shu's reaction was very calm, as if she had expected the emperor to come over, and said to Han Mo: "Little Wu, do you know why I asked you to come?" ”

"Niangniang wants to see if Xiao Wu grows up!" Han Mo smiled.

Concubine Shu also smiled, then stood up solemnly, and said softly: "This is one of them, and the other reason is that the Holy Lord wants to see you!" ”
