Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Let Gucheng accompany me." ”

It stands to reason that this is the backyard of the palace, and ordinary men are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

But even a harem needs guards.

As the only guard by the side of the crown princess, Gucheng, like the forbidden army, can walk in the harem.

With the lonely city by her side, Huang Ying is also relieved.

"Do you want to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Huang Ying asked again.

"Where is he?"

"After lunch, His Highness went out. The slave maid did not know the whereabouts of His Highness. ”

The person who followed Li Hongyuan was Sanli, in addition to Sanli, there were also two young eunuchs.

Jiang Ning said: "Being a prince is really different. I just moved in, and I'm so busy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see people in the future. ”

Huang Ying said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, there are always many things to plan at the beginning. It's good to be busy for a while, and Your Highness will definitely be able to accompany you more. You haven't been to Wanrun Palace, I'll accompany you. ”

"Concubine Xian lives in Wanrun Palace?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ning admired the scenery of the East Palace, and suddenly asked, "Huang Ying, what will happen if I don't go to Concubine Xian's place?" ”

"Probably...... will be accused of disobeying the elders. ”

"Okay, let's go."

After all, he only lived in the East Palace, and he still had to be a good child for a few days.

Idle is idle anyway.

On the way, Jiang Ning asked Huang Ying: "How many ladies are there in this harem?" ”

Huang Ying smiled: "This slave can't tell clearly. Although the slave maid stayed in the harem for a few years, this harem has new people almost every year. According to the slave's estimate, there are more than 100 mothers. ”

"There are quite a few of them, it seems that the area of this harem is quite large."

"Except for those high-ranking concubines with heads and faces, where can the rest of the low-level concubines occupy a place. Some of them have three or four concubines living together. ”

"Yes, it's also His Majesty's woman, it's weird and aggrieved to live like this."

"Or why are they all vying for the favor? The ladies of this harem, only when they are favored by His Majesty, can they get better food and clothing. ”

"These more than 100 women, even if they change one a day, they will not be the same for three or four months."

"Where can I have one a day, Your Majesty's body also has to be taken into account. In this harem, Concubine Jin is the most favored, and she is there seven or eight days a month. Isn't there less for others? Some little concubines entered the palace from the age of fifteen or sixteen, and stayed up until they were old and decrepit, and they couldn't even see His Majesty's face, which was also common. ”

"It's miserable."

"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea." Huang Ying held her hand, "Are you tired?" Let the lonely city bring the wheelchair. ”

Although he could not see the shadow of the lonely city, he must be around.

Jiang Ning looked up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I sat all afternoon, and I just happened to walk around the activities." ”

It is the April day when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the climate is warm, and there are pink butterflies flying everywhere.

Walking in the palace is very comfortable.

As one of the four concubines, Concubine Xian was the concubine accepted by the emperor when he was the prince, except for the queen, she is the oldest.

Older too.

But when he was young, he was quite beautiful, and although he was old and decrepit, he could still see the appearance of the year.

Wanrun Palace is very simple and completely different from the gorgeous Splendid Palace.

Peach blossoms are planted in the courtyard, and they are blooming brightly.

Concubine Xian sat on the swing under the peach tree.

If you ignore her somewhat old face, this is quite a beautiful painting.

When the palace maid saw Jiang Ning, she whispered, "Niangniang, the crown princess is here." ”
