Jique Palace from the former Wei Dynasty, is not only the inner dynasty, but also the emperor's living place, its solemn and majestic, is in this snow flying when it is still difficult to hide.

However, the small courtyard where Mu Biwei is placed is just a small courtyard in this palace, Mu Biwei lifted the curtain of the small sedan chair, and took a look outside the courtyard, but only caught a glimpse of a touch of blue bricks and tiles, which is very different from the style of Yedu.

The sedan chair did not stop in front of the courtyard, but directly entered the courtyard gate and stopped on the corridor, and Gu Changfu asked Mu Biwei to get off the sedan chair.

Although after the mixing of the left and right prime ministers, Mu Biwei's identity has directly changed from a palace concubine - even if she is the lowest person in the scattered number, to a palace slave - even if she is the highest female official and the second grade, she is just a royal slave in the end.

But Gu Changfu has been serving Ji Shen for a long time, and he knows the temperament of this gentleman, knowing that Mu Biwei will become his new favorite, he dare not slack off, and after seeing Mu Biwei get off the sedan chair, he looked around, and his expression seemed to be surprised, so he smiled and said: "Mu Qingyi is the first time to see such a courtyard?" Now it's winter, the pond over there is frozen, I can't see it, if it's spring and summer, our family heard His Majesty praise, saying that this wind lotus courtyard is in response to the sentence 'dark fragrance slightly moved and the wind was startled, and a few lotus flowers opened up'! ”

As he pointed to the position, he saw that the atrium outside the railing was actually chiseled into a pool, from the courtyard gate to the main hall, but it was connected by a nine-curved bridge, and there were several scattered rockeries in the pool, which would be covered with snow, except for the corridor above the four sides were a faction of vastness, Mu Bi looked at the pool slightly, and said with a smile: "Isn't it imitating the Southern Dynasty over there?" ”

"Tsing Yi has good eyesight." Gu Changfu nodded, "It was built by Emperor Gaozu himself!" ”

After the Mu family was also regarded as a relict of the previous dynasty, Mu Biwei heard him mention Gaozu, and couldn't help but think that the Emperor Gaozu of the Northern Liang Dynasty and the former Wei Dynasty were fighting for the world in the past, and both of them took defeating each other as their life's ambition, but in the end, it was difficult to hold each other, and they had to draw the Nuchuan as the boundary, and the Wei soil was divided into the north and south - of course, the two levels and several states that were occupied by Rouran in the last years of the former Wei Dynasty have not been able to get them back.

Emperor Gaozu's dream of dominating the world was shattered by the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and he personally supervised the construction of the Southern Dynasty style courtyard in the Jique Palace in the depressed state. Comfort.

But of course, such an idea can't be spoken, but now that the snow is flying, there is no place to boast about the white expanse, so Mu Biwei skipped this scene and said tentatively: "Emperor Gaozu Qinjian, how dare I live?" ”

"Don't worry about Tsing Yi, here is His Majesty's Qin Qing Yi to live in, not to mention, although Tsing Yi is a five-grade female official, but His Majesty said that he must give Tsing Yi the treatment of a sage, and the Fang Sage next to His Majesty also has a similar courtyard." Gu Changfu smiled and stretched out his hand to lead her into the house, "Tsing Yi grew up in Yedu, I'm afraid I haven't seen the courtyard in the south yet?" Our family has been here once before, if Tsing Yi doesn't dislike it, why don't we take Tsing Yi to take a look? ”

"So it's a father-in-law!" Mu Bi smiled and pushed him to say who would enter the door - Liang Chengwei system, in addition to the concubines and ordinary palace maids, the women in the palace set up a system of female officials.

Although the female official is still strictly speaking a royal servant, she is also of grade in the end, and extraordinary concubines can be disposed of at will. The female officials in the Liang Palace are divided into four classes, the first class is only the queen mother and the palace maid around the emperor can be served, for the second grade of the division, in terms of grade, compared with the third lady, just because of the palace slave, so when you see the third lady, you still need to salute, but for the nine concubines, you only need to see each other politely, which shows that the status is high.

Below the division is the sage who is close to Zhaoyi and the three products, and now Ji Shen personally instructed Mu Biwei to give the example, the sage only needs to meet the palace concubine of the concubine position, and the non-nine concubines and above cannot be disposed of.

The next rank and fourth rank are the envoys, but they are the people who serve the third lady, and when they see Rong Hua He's class, they only need to be polite.

The last five-grade female official is called Tsing Yi, but she is the servant who serves the nine concubines. From the nine concubines downwards, the concubines such as the He family, and the attendants around them, are not qualified to have grades.

In addition, there are two kinds of female officials, female history and female book, but they are not nobles, but the elderly women who are enshrined in the palace have both talent and virtue, subordinate to the internal department, specializing in the etiquette of the palace people and some low-ranking palace concubines, palace rules and teaching, and even when the emperor was young, they also had to guide the rules, most of them were childless widows outside the palace, and women with the name of virtue were hired into the palace.

Because of the insistence of the prime minister, Mu Biwei is now the lowest female official Tsing Yi, but only five grades, although Gu Changfu is only a servant of the five grades, but she respects Gu Changfu's qualifications, but Gu Changfu knows the root of her position as a female official, and is jealous of her favor, so the two naturally give in to each other politely and humbly before they can move.

After entering the house, I saw that the interior furnishings were exquisite and chic, revealing a sense of elegance everywhere, not like the palace, but like the Jiangnan scholarly home that Mu Biwei had read in the previous book.

Gu Changfu led her to see the main hall and the side houses on both sides, and then to the back bedroom, but the bedroom was separated from the main hall by a small corridor, and the patio was now covered with heavy snow, but a small piece of bamboo in the corner showed some cyan under the snow, and the snow outside the corridor was uneven, obviously a place with a view, but it was blocked by snow.

The bedroom is also blindly elegant, but it is as cold as today, which inevitably shows a little bleakness. Gu Changfu also saw this, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Tsing Yi to live here, so I didn't get someone to clean it in advance, so it would be better for our family to accompany Mu Tsing Yi to sit outside, and someone would clean up first, so that Tsing Yi could live tonight." ”

Mu Biwei was about to nod, but after thinking about it, she asked: "Tsing Yi is only five grades, is it inappropriate to ask the palace maid to serve?" ”

"Why should Mu Qingyi worry?" Gu Changfu listened, but smiled meaningfully, and said otherwise, "Our family just said, Tsing Yi is now according to the example of the sage, although the sage also has to serve in front of the nobles, but when he returns to his residence, he has his own ordinary palace people to serve, this is the meaning of His Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with the protection of holy grace, Tsing Yi does not need to be too cautious." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice!" Mu Biwei's heart was slightly cold, Gu Changfu was telling himself, don't look down on Ji Shen's grace, so as not to dislike the king! It seems that although this gentleman is lustful, he may not be a good servant! She hurriedly thanked her, Gu Changfu just smiled and waved his hand: "Just now the Qilan Palace is in trouble, our family knows that the girl is a smart person, but our family is too talkative." ”

Mu Biwei heard him say this, but her heart moved, she quietly took off the mutton fat jade bracelet on her wrist, and handed it over from the bottom of her sleeve before she had fully walked into the courtyard, Gu Changfu glanced at it in a hurry, knowing that it was extraordinary, and hurriedly excused herself: "I have already obtained Tsing Yi, but now I only walk a few steps, but Tsing Yi is too polite." ”
