Jinshang picked up Qiuhe and said: "You have been by my side for many years, and you have always been cautious and virtuous, not to mention that you have a princess now, and you have been promoted to rank, of course, there is no need to shirk." ”

Qiu He said again: "The concubine is bless, she only gave birth to one daughter, she has never given birth to an imperial heir, how dare she make a contribution?" Beauty is in the fourth grade, and the rank is high, so those who are talented and virtuous should be allowed to do so. The concubine is among the ten pavilions, and there is no shortage in all the uses, so she really doesn't dare to leap to this point again. ”

Now I thought about it and said to her, "If you feel that it is not appropriate for you to suddenly rise to beauty, then how about I make you a noble first?" The noble person is in the fifth rank of the inner woman, and he will be promoted in turn, and he will not cause criticism. ”

Qiuhe shook his head, as if he wanted to refuse, and the ladies of the Ten Pavilions who were watching spoke one by one, persuading her to accept the promotion, among which the Pengcheng County Jun Liu Shi was even more half-joking, and said it very clearly: "Sister, our sisters have served the official family for many years, but they are still just some unranked imperial servants, and they participate in an internal banquet on weekdays, and they have no serious position. Now that my sister has a good life and gives birth to a princess first, the sisters are very happy, counting on the light of some sister and the little princess. My sister has been promoted, and we can finally follow behind to ask for a talented and noble person to do it. But if my sister insists on pushing back, and she refuses to be promoted after giving birth to a princess, then those of us who are not blessed will have to continue to mix with my sister without a name or position, and I don't know when and when we will have a bright future. ”

And she said it was. The promotion of the harem concubines must be approved by the Zhongshu, and if Qiuhe, who gave birth to the princess, is not ranked, the rest of the ladies will be rejected by the Zhongshu if they want to surpass her and be promoted.

Qiu He stopped saying because of this, so he didn't insist anymore. So now the admiral moved her to a nobleman, and at the same time added an official to her father, and was named the inner temple chongban.

After Anding Junjun gave birth to the ten princesses, she was also ordered to enter the rank according to the rules, because her original title was one order higher than Qiu He, so she was rewarded in order and moved her to a beauty.

At the full moon banquet of the ninth princess, the rest of the ten pavilion ladies mentioned the promotion of "dipping light" again, and now shook their heads and said: "If it is not for the grace of the children, there must be virtuous deeds. Now that you have asked for the relocation of the officials, there is no allusion, and the court will not approve it. ”

Pengcheng County Jun smiled and said: "The official family is the emperor and the saint, and the exit is the edict, but if there is a word from the official, as soon as the emperor's order comes out, who dares to disobey it?" ”

Jinshang also smiled and said, "You don't believe it? Okay, let's give it a try. Then he turned to Ren Shouzhong beside him, "Are the ministers still in the Chinese book?" ”

Ren Shouzhong bowed down and replied, "It's still in the middle of the book." ”

Now he bowed his head and ordered: "Take pen and ink, I will write down the words, and you will send someone to hand it over to the rich minister." ”

Wait for the ministers to offer pen and ink, and now write the beginning of the word, let people send it to the door of the Chinese book. After a while, the waiter came back and returned the words with both hands: "The rich minister said that among the ladies of the Ten Pavilions, only Dong Guiren and Zhou Meiren gave birth to princesses, and the rest of the ladies moved to worship without a name, and Zhongshu did not dare to take the order." ”

The ladies of the Ten Pavilion looked at each other, laughed loudly today, and said, "How? Now it's time to believe it, right? ”

Concubine Miao Xian also smiled and said to the ladies: "You are young and don't know the joints. The official family has a good temperament, and they have spoiled the officials in the court, and now they are all big-tempered, especially the ministers of the Chinese book, since Du Xianggong back then, the official family wants to move individuals, and nine times out of ten they will be rejected. ”

The county monarch of Pengcheng still did not give up, and his eyes turned towards Jin's body, and he said angrily: "The emperor's edict may not always be issued and implemented through the Chinese book, right?" Isn't there still an edict from within? If the official family writes the royal pen himself, and waits for us to enter the official, when we receive the moon, we will take the imperial treasure to receive it, isn't it okay? ”

Imakami laughed and sighed, and was about to explain something, but was stopped by the princess. The princess smiled at him and deliberately persuaded him: "Daddy, there is still a year of remuneration for the promotion of officials in the DPRK and China." Mrs. Liu, they have served you for so many years, and it is indeed time to move. You will write a letter to them, transfer them to officials, and let them hand over to Yousi Zenglu, so what's the matter? ”

Today, I agreed, let people take the pen and ink and color notes, and first asked Pengcheng County Jun: "What official does Liu Niangzi want to turn to?" ”

The monarch of Pengcheng County couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Sister Dong is only for nobles, and concubines don't dare to arguably live above the five grades, and the official family will move the concubine to a talented person." ”

With a smile today, he really wrote: "Take the imperial servant Pengcheng County Jun Liu as a talented person." ”

Pengcheng County Jun smiled and thanked him, happily took the imperial treasure, and looked at it again and again. The rest of the ten pavilion ladies who had not been ranked immediately rushed up, all around Jinshang to ask for the imperial treasure, and Jinshang also agreed, and wrote to them one by one. Only the monarch of Qinghe was alone in his original position, and he did not ask for an edict with the public.

Seeing this, the queen asked Qinghe Junjun with a smile: "Why doesn't Mrs. Zhang ask the official family to descend the imperial pen?" ”

Qinghe Junjun owes and says: "The county monarch is a concubine, and the concubine has more than enough, no matter how much it is, it is useless, so why ask for another official to increase Lu?" ”

In the blink of an eye, it is time for the palace people to receive the moon. On that day, the princess went to visit Qiuhe, and when she saw that the sky was beautiful, she invited her to enjoy the flowers in the back garden. Today, he also came over and chatted with the second daughter. Suddenly, I saw the young ladies led by Pengcheng County Jun coming one after another, holding the imperial treasure in their hands, frowning and pouting, all of them were displeased.

"Official," Pengcheng County Jun raised his edict and appealed to the present, "The concubine asked people to show the imperial treasure to the official who issued the concubine, and asked him to give the concubine the monthly money, but he flatly refused, saying that it was not the Chinese book, he did not dare to obey, so he could only return it." ”

The rest of the ladies also chattered about their experiences, which were roughly the same as those of Pengcheng County, and they were all rejected by begging for Zenglu. Seeing that Jinshang was not surprised and annoyed, Pengcheng County Junyue became angry, and tore the edict in half with half anger and half anger, and threw it on the ground and stepped on it twice, and said angrily: "It turns out that I can't do it!" ”

All the ladies followed suit, and they all destroyed the royal pens they had obtained, and the fragments of colored paper were scattered all over the ground.

Jinshang was still not angry, and laughed and said: "I said earlier that the imperial court would not agree to move the official for no reason, you don't believe it, you have to die like this." This matter is not over yet, so wait and see, and in less than three days, there will be a meeting of the officials to discuss this matter. ”

And so it was. Two days later, Fan Shidao of the Tongzhi Academy said: "I heard that the princesses of the pavilion are princesses of Zhou and Dong Yu, and the imperial treasure is white, and they are talented people. Zhou and Dong can be moved, what is the name of the female emperor and moved? The rank of talented people is high, there is a quota in ancient times, Tang stopped seven people, and the ancestors of the palace can only serve two or three hundred, and there are few people who are among the five grades. If all the cabinets are moved, there will be no more members, and outsiders will not know in detail, so it will be said that His Majesty is too favored and unfavorable. The husband and wife and the villain have the same sex, and if they are too pampered, they will be blasphemous, and if they are not temperate, they will have insatiable grievances, and they must not help but use their ways. And the degree is too annoying, the need is too wide, a talented person, the month is straight in the middle of the household, and the year is not given. Besides, if the decree comes out, it does not have its own division, and the things of the prosperous time are also ......."

"If you are too pampered, you will be blasphemous, and if you are not gracious, you will have insatiable resentment", this sentence seems to be implicit, and the performance of Pengcheng County Jun has also attracted the special attention of Yushitai. Soon after, Han Jiang found out that the Jun of Pengcheng County had asked for a traitor, and secretly told Jinshang, and then strictly investigated the people of the Ten Pavilion Palace, selected other unscrupulous and arrogant people, and expelled them from the palace together with the Jun of Pengcheng County, demoted to female Taoists, or ordered them to cut their hair as nuns. And Qinghe Junjun, after being proposed by the queen and approved by the Chinese book, moved her to a talented person.

This incident also made the people in the harem see the power of the Tai Ji again, and Concubine Miao Xian secretly warned the princess after lamenting what happened to the people of the Ten Pavilion Palace: "This Tai Ji is the second pair of eyes of the official family, and if he says something disrespectful, sometimes he is like his father, and if he finds something wrong, they will catch it, and he must deal with it according to their intentions." They are very lenient, and they have to intervene in state affairs and the emperor's family affairs, so they will also be a sword hanging over your head, and you must be careful in everything when you are away from home, so as not to fall into the situation that they have something to say, and do not let the sword fall. ”
