Volume 1 The Wind and Snow Enter the Purple Terrace Chapter 12 The aftermath of Qilan
"Father-in-law Gu rest assured, I don't mean anything - it's just that I entered the palace in a hurry, my grandmother and mother didn't have time to tell me, now in the palace, except for Zuo Zhaoyi and Sun Guifei, I really don't know what the situation is, although I am serving Your Majesty now, but there are other nobles in the harem, if I meet them, I don't know what the impact of their dignity is......" Gu Changfu was relieved when he heard this, and quietly caught the bracelet, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Tsing Yi wants to ask this?" Our family is dull, although we are serving in Jique, but we also know a little about the nobles of the harem. ”
Gu Changfu knew that today's Mujia girl's entry into the palace was very tortuous, first she was almost poisoned in the Qilan Palace, and then even the left and right prime ministers were alarmed, and now although she has entered the eyes of Ji Shen, she can stay in the palace for the time being, and she can't be offended for the time being, but she doesn't dare to get too involved, but what Mu Biwei is asking now is just the general situation of the harem, which is something she will know sooner or later, and it is not a secret, and he is also happy to make a fortune - in the end, Mu Biwei was brought into the palace by him by order, if something happens in the Qilan Palace, He Ronghua is not afraid of pampering, Gu Changfu must have been on the board, this is just a place where it doesn't matter!
The most important thing is that although He Ronghua made a move, he didn't succeed, Mu Biwei has already entered Ji Shen's eyes, this girl looks cowardly, but she called Qilan Hall to occupy the home field of the time, place and people, but she couldn't secretly calculate, but let her face the saint calmly, it can be seen that it is not a good stubble. Now although she is only a fifth-grade female official, Gu Changfu is not a newcomer who has just entered the palace, she will only look at people by grade, Ji Shen is heavy on color and light on morality, if Mu Bi is slightly suspicious that the affairs of Qilan Palace are also related to herself, she can't move for the time being, He Shi, who is still a favorite concubine, turned around and cried in front of Ji Shen, wanting to be angry first, although Gu Changfu worshiped Ji Shen's close servant Ruan Wenyi as his father-in-law, but Ruan Wenyi's righteous son always has seven or eight in this Jique Palace, and it is not so rare. Ruan Wenyi is not the kind of person who is willing to offend Ji Shen's new favorite for the sake of a random righteous son.
Therefore, since Ji Shen ordered to send Mu Biwei to Jique Palace first, Gu Changfu thought about how to clear himself from the fact that the He family made the palace maid want to destroy Mu Biwei's appearance with charcoal, and he took the initiative to mention it to show goodwill, as for receiving the benefits, he was willing to talk to Mu Biwei in detail about the situation in the palace, but it implied that Mu Biwei had a clear conscience, and it had nothing to do with He's calculations.
This time Mu Biwei treated herself as usual, and thought of Mu Biwei in the Qilan Hall of Fang Cai after finding herself, she also said straightforwardly, thinking that this new book of Tsing Yi is quite a city, and now she has just entered the palace, there is an indissoluble enmity between the He family and her, and it is useless for her to show weakness, so she has to rise up to resist, as for herself, she is a person in front of the emperor, even if Mu Biwei doubts herself in her heart, most of them will not rashly slap Ruan Wenyi's face at this moment...... Dealing with such smart people, there is only one way to see people's hearts over time.
Although Gu Changfu was dissatisfied with He's rash drag himself into the water, he also knew that Mu Biwei's situation might not be as good as He's, he just wanted to take precautions and solve Mu Biwei's possible grievances. The Empress Dowager of the palace chose Zuo Zhaoyi to take care of it, and the position of the right Zhaoyi was vacant, and the three ladies under it, namely the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine, only one person was registered. ”
Speaking of this, because of his intention to show goodwill, Gu Chang Forte whispered, "Concubine Sun Gui is beautiful and fragrant, although she has no palace power, but Her Majesty loves her very much. ”
Mu Biwei nodded seriously, most of the palace people who served in front of the emperor would recognize a few words, Gu Changfu used love rather than favor, which shows that Sun Guifei's status in Ji Shen's eyes is extraordinary, when he mentioned Zuo Zhaoyi, Gu Changfu did not mention favor, but he didn't know how Zuo Zhaoyi, who was like a queen and was born in a family, was favored?
"The nine concubines under the three ladies, the upper three concubines Guangyou, Zhaoxun, and Longhui, now there are two mothers of Ouyang Zhaoxun and Tang Longhui, and the six concubines Xuanhui, Ninghui, Xuanming, Shunhua, Ninghua, and Guangxun are only registered with Jiang Shunhua." Gu Changfu saw that she understood, and Fang continued, "Under the nine concubines, there are five concubines at the level of Jieyu, Ronghua, Chonghua, Chenghui, and Lierong, and now Jieyu's position is also vacant, so He Ronghua is the head, there are Yan Chonghua and Cui Lierong, as for the next world, there are thirteen women, four royal women, and in addition, the scattered numbers are divided into three grades, beauty, talent and love, adding up to a total of fourteen. ”
In this way, Ji Shen's current harem has a total of thirty-nine concubines with official positions, and it is only two years after the removal of national filial piety, and the number of people in the harem of Gaozu and Ruizong is only a few people, so in comparison, it is no wonder that he will have a reputation of emphasizing color and ignoring morality.
Gu Changfufu talked about Jique Palace: "Now the Jique waiters are naturally headed by our family's father-in-law Ruan, and I have also seen Tsing Yi in the Qilan Palace. He deliberately mentioned the head of Neisi as his father-in-law, and also reminded Mu Biwei.
Mu Biwei heard what he meant, smiled faintly, and motioned for him to continue.
"Under the eunuch is the eunuch, the rank is the same as the sage, because most of the father-in-law Ruan is with His Majesty, so most of the daily affairs are handled by the eunuch and the sage, that is, the Feng eunuch who is now in charge of the palace attendant and the sage Fang who is in charge of the palace maid."
Speaking of this, he saw that Mu Biwei was engrossed in listening, smiled slightly, and said, "Although the attendants of other palaces with grades are under the direct jurisdiction of the nobles of each palace, but the palace maids of our Jique Palace, whether they are of grade or not, are all managed by Fang Xian, of course, there is no need to rush to see Tsing Yi today." ”
Mu Bi said strangely: "Is there no secretary in the Jique Palace?" ”
"Once upon a time, there was one, but because of his dedication to serving, it happened that the secretary next to the Queen Mother left the palace, and His Majesty ordered him to serve the Queen Mother." Gu Changfu's smile seemed to have a deep meaning, and Mu Biwei was thoughtful.
I only heard Gu Changfu continue: "Fang Xianren has taken care of Ji Que very well over the years, and even Zuo Zhaoyi has praised him in front of the Queen Mother, but in the end, when he is young, His Majesty thinks it is better to mention it in a few years, below the sage, there are two lieutenant envoys to assist Fang Xianren." ”
Although she had only met once in the Qilan Palace, Mu Biwei vaguely felt that Ji Shen was not like a person who would say something like that in a few years, plus Gu Chang Ford made up such a sentence, as if she was hinting at something, she secretly wrote it down and asked, "Then how many are there in Tsing Yi?" ”
"Except for Mu Qingyi, there are only two of them, both of whom serve His Majesty closely." Gu Changfu seemed to think of something, and nodded with a smile, "Although the Wind Lotus Courtyard is not as beautiful as the palace, it is in Jique in the end, and there is a unique style here." ”
The meaning of his words is already very clear, the reputation of the palace slave is not as good as the palace concubine, even if it is the lowest level of love, it is Ji Shen's concubine, and even if it is the second grade, it is just a slave. Now because one of the two is an inner servant and the other is a female official, you and I can call each other when they speak, and if they are in front of the nobles in the palace, even if they are beloved, they must call themselves slaves and maids.
Gu Changfu is just that, being an internal servant is a poor family or a person who has no way, Mu Biwei is a dignified official girl, and the family is also coaxed to hold it, Shen Taijun said that it was sent to the palace to serve Ji Shen, but he never thought of asking her to start as a slave and maid, and always thought that with the family background of the Mu family and Mu Biwei's own appearance, not to mention the concubine, the position of the royal maid should always have one.
Therefore, in terms of heart alone, Mu Biwei has to pass this level.
However, Gu Changfu said comfort, but it reminded her of the benefits of being a slave - that is, if she was a palace concubine, even if she lived in the Flying Feather Hall that Mu Biwei chose before, it would not be as close as the Fenghe Courtyard in the Jique Palace. And since it is Tsing Yi, it also has the convenience of serving Ji Shen closely, which is actually more beneficial to Mu Biwei, who is destined to leave the Israeli servant when she enters the palace - of course, she has to endure the self-proclaimed slave first.
"Father-in-law Gu's hard work, I must remember it!" Mu Biwei didn't care what she thought in her heart at the moment, she solemnly thanked him in the end.
Gu Changfu was involved a lot because of Mu Biwei's entry into the palace, and he didn't know what the future of Tsing Yi was that Ji Shen was still interested in at this moment, and now that he had said so many words, he thought that he had taken a good mutton fat jade bracelet for nothing, which also made Mu Biwei have a good impression, so he smiled, said no more, and when he arrived at the corridor, he brought in four people to clean up.
Mu Biwei was thinking about what he had just said, and saw that in addition to the two chambermaids carrying the sedan chair, there were suddenly two more palace maids, and she was not stunned, Gu Changfu saw that her face was already known, and said with a smile: "The sages have two ordinary palace maids who serve tea at night, and two other chamberlains run errands. ”
"But I'm tired of you." Mu Biwei wanted to ask more carefully, but seeing Gu Changfu's smiling expression, he knew that since he could serve in front of the palace, his tone was naturally extremely tight, since he only said such a sentence, he didn't plan to reveal more, and now that he had only entered the palace for less than a day, and he was only the identity of Tsing Yi, he could say that he had already taken up the light of the Qilan Palace, but he couldn't seem too anxious, so he only smiled and nodded.
