Concubine Xian's real name is Xia Xian, she was 14 years old when she entered the palace, and she is 23 years old now.

His father was a military general. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xia Xian's father was a general and made great contributions.

Concubine Xian grew up in martial arts culture since she was a child, and her temperament is the same as that of Wu, and she is very straightforward.

Concubine Xian has been practicing martial arts every day since she was a child, and now Concubine Xian is still practicing martial arts every day, and she is still a habit she developed from that time.

As for books, it's quite a headache.

Concubine Xian's father is a military general, and naturally he has never forced Concubine Xian to study.

Therefore, compared with other famous ladies, Concubine Xian's childhood was relatively happy.

The happy times accompanied Concubine Xian until she was 12 years old. That summer, Concubine Xian's staff followed her father to her uncle's house as usual.

Concubine Xian's father naturally wants to talk to adults about things, and children naturally can't participate. As for when the adults talk about playing, these crazy children naturally don't know.

When she arrived at her uncle's house, Concubine Xian played with the children of her uncle's family.

Children together, favorite to play hide and seek.

In order not to be found, Xia Xian ran far away, originally planning to hide behind the rockery. Unexpectedly, from behind the rockery, there came a person's voice.

Out of curiosity, Xia Xian quietly walked into the rockery. I happened to see my uncle doing something shameful and shameless with his daughter-in-law, that is, my cousin's wife.

Xia Xian was so frightened that she didn't dare to move in place, and she was stunned for a long time before she ran away. Xia Xian ran to a corner where there was no one, and shrunk into a ball in fright, trembling.

At that time, Xia Xian was too young and scared to tell her father and mother what she saw. Just like that, for many nights, Xia Xian was scared to wake up, and she fell seriously ill because of it.

Later, Xia Xian became less fond of socializing with people, let alone going to her uncle's house.

Even if she had to meet, Xia Xian always avoided her uncle, aunt, cousin and aunt.

Girls who have not yet left the cabinet, when they are 14 or 5 years old, the family will find a matchmaker to arrange the marriage for them.

However, Xia Xian didn't want to marry at all. But when you reach the age where you have to have a family, it is particularly important to find a reason not to marry.

Just when Xia Xian was so annoyed that she was a little haggard.

She suddenly thought of the emperor.

At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and there was instability in all aspects. If Xia Xian can be a concubine at this time, it will undoubtedly be supported by the Xia family.

Although Xia Xian doesn't like to read, she likes military books very much.

I heard a lot about the affairs of the court, and I heard a lot about my father and relatives, and Xia Xian naturally still knew a little bit about it.

So Xia Xian wrote a letter to the emperor, and after several rounds, it finally reached the emperor's hands.

The content of the letter is probably that I am now 14 or 5 years old, and I should have been married, but because I saw the shameful things of my uncle and cousin in the garden rockery of my uncle's house when I was 12 years old. I was accompanied by nightmares every day, and I was seriously ill. Later, although the illness was cured, it left an indelible shadow in my heart. I am afraid of marriage and hope that the emperor can accept me as a harem concubine. The emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, and naturally there are concubines who are willing to give birth to heirs for the emperor. Getting married to an ordinary family and having children is a natural thing and a must do. The emperor only needs to come to Xia Xian's palace once a month, so that people can remember the harem and the concubines who think the emperor remembers. Of course, the emperor sleeps in the bed, and Xia Xian sleeps on the floor. As long as Xia Xian can be allowed to survive in the harem. If this is the case, then Xia Xian's father will naturally stand on the emperor's side and help the emperor stabilize the government.

Xia Xian truthfully informed the emperor of her situation, after all, telling a lie is a crime of deception.

In addition, Xia Xian is asking for help, and telling the truth is the greatest sincerity.

After Concubine Xian wrote this letter, she thought she would wait for a month. I didn't expect to receive a reply in a few days, and I could ask a faint smell in the reply.

Xia Xian couldn't wait, opened the letter, and didn't think about the smell attached to the letter.

Xia Xian opened the letter and read it, which probably said: The emperor understands Xia Xian's thoughts and is willing to include her in the harem according to his request. A few days later, the emperor will talk about this matter to Xia Xian's father, Lord Xia. The emperor asked Xia Xian to wait at home, and not to write to the palace rashly.

After reading the letter, the anxious stone that Xia Xian was hanging in her heart finally landed.

Xia Xian can finally breathe a sigh of relief and sleep peacefully for a few days.

Although, Xia Xian didn't know how deep the deep palace was and how quiet the deep palace was. However, in Xia Xian's view, this is also the best solution at present.

The reason why the emperor agreed to this matter was just like what Concubine Xian said in her heart.

The Xia family is the middle force in the court, and they are in a high position. After all, Xia Xian's father was a meritorious hero, and his status and prestige in the court were naturally not lower than that of the prime minister.

The emperor first ascended the throne, and forces like the Xia family urgently needed to be wooed.

Xia Xian's letter can be regarded as a charcoal to the emperor.

Xia Xian entered the palace and became the concubine of the emperor's harem. Xia Xian's father naturally became the emperor's father-in-law.

Since he is his father-in-law, how can he not stand on the same line with the emperor!

Unless, I want to watch Xia Xian fend for herself in the harem, or be snubbed by the emperor, or even enter the harem.

The ancients did everything according to the right word.

The emperor wants Na Xia Xian to be a harem concubine, so naturally he has to earn the consent of Xia Xian's father and Lord Xia first.

Although Lord Xia did not directly refuse, he still adopted a roundabout refusal strategy.

The ginger is still old and spicy.

Although Lord Xia didn't go to the harem, but with the concubines in his own courtyard, Lord Xia already had a headache when he thought about it, and it hurt his brain.

Not to mention being in the royal family.

Which of the emperor's concubines is not a minister of the court, and which is not a lady from a famous family.

The competition in this harem is naturally conceivable, how can the means of this competition be so low!

Lord Xia didn't want his stupid daughter to participate in the palace fight.

Because he clearly knows that this daughter of his own, what scheming there is. After entering the palace, she didn't know what hard days were waiting for her.

After talking to the emperor, Lord Xia returned home so worried.

Xia Xian knew as soon as she saw her father's expression that the emperor must have mentioned it to her father. Xia Xian was happy in her heart, but looking at the sadness on her father's face, Xia Xian was still a little unbearable.

Xia Xian walked over, held her father, leaned her head on her father, and said coquettishly, "Dad, is there anything big in the court today?" Why are you worried? ”

"Ugh." Lord Xia didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly.

"Dad, don't sigh, sigh people will grow old quickly. If you don't tell your daughter, I'm also my daughter's family anyway, so I can only listen. You may be in a better mood when you say it, but you may not be able to say it. ”

Lord Xia thought about it, after all, this matter is also about his daughter, maybe Xian'er can get the answer here, but not necessarily.

So Lord Xia told Xia Xian about the emperor today who wanted Xia Xian to be a harem concubine.

When Xia Xian heard that this was indeed the case, she comforted her father and said, "Dad, my daughter thinks that this matter is not as bad as she imagined, so bad." Even if I were to marry the son of a well-connected official, she would have taken a concubine. I still can't escape the fight. With such a character of a daughter, maybe the palace is not bad. After all, the queen doesn't seem to be so favored today, but the emperor didn't abolish the queen because of this. With an unfavored queen on top of me, I think I'll be a lot safer. It's better than being a housewife, not being favored, and being directly regarded as a thorn in the side. Father, what do you say? ”

Lord Xia looked at Xia Xian with relief. There is some helplessness, and there is a sense of relief. nodded, "Then are you willing to enter the palace to be a concubine for the emperor?" ”

"Xian'er, I am willing. It shows that the emperor is still very fond of his father's status and prestige in the court. If the daughter can enter the palace, she will naturally dispel many of the emperor's distracting thoughts about her father, isn't it? ”

The father smiled slightly, "Xian'er, you have grown up." Since you are not disgusted with entering the palace, then Dad will go back to the emperor tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Xia Xian said as she rested her head on Lord Xia's shoulder.

"When I come back from the court tomorrow, I will prepare your marriage with your mother for you."

"Thank you, father." Xia Xian said with a smile on her face, and suddenly felt a little confused in her heart. There is a kind of uncertainty about life and death, and the future is uncertain.

A few months later, the emperor married Xia Xian according to the agreement. Officially canonized Xia Xian as a virtuous concubine and gave Qi Nangong.

The emperor's bright and correct woman in this life can only be the queen.

The etiquette of marrying a virtuous concubine naturally cannot be compared with the queen.

The day before Concubine Xian entered the palace, her parents hosted a banquet at home for all the relatives and friends to thank her. Concubine Xian's childhood friend, the little girlfriend naturally wanted to come and meet Concubine Xian. After all, after entering the palace, there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future.

Among these friends, some are a little older, some are married, and some even have children. For those who are a little younger, their families are also busy saying goodbye to them.

"Xian'er, this marriage is no better than at home, everything should be paid more attention to. Don't mess with the emperor, if you do, be more obedient. My sister is also a person who has come over, and she will not harm you," said an older sister who was a few years older than Concubine Xian. It seems that this sister is a person who has come over, and she is mentioning a virtuous concubine.

"Thank you Sister Yun'er for reminding me, I naturally know that my sister won't harm me, and I will pay attention to it."

"Well, Xian'er has entered the palace, she is the virtuous concubine, and there will not be many opportunities for us to meet in the future, and I am really reluctant, otherwise we can chat together in the future."

"That's what my sister said."

"Sister knows that you like to practice martial arts on weekdays." Sister Yun'er said as she took out a dagger and handed it to Concubine Xian, "This is in the palace, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, sister smoked a dagger some time ago, thinking that you should like it." ”

Concubine Xian took the dagger, "Thank you, Sister Yun'er, I like it very much." ”

"If you like it."

"Sister Xian'er, I embroidered a purse for you." A 12 or 3-year-old girl said in a milky voice.

Concubine Xian took the purse, "It's just right, I really envy you female workers." ”

"You must not know where to go to practice martial arts, and now you regret it." Sister Yun'er joked to Xia Xian.

A few little sisters seized the last time they spent with Xia Xian, reminiscing about the past and occasionally chatting about the future.

After today, I want to see Concubine Xian again, I don't know what year and month it is. Even if they meet, they may not be as intimate as they are now.

The next morning is the selected auspicious day. In order to rush before the auspicious time, send the virtuous concubine to the palace. Concubine Xian got up early and sat down at the dresser. Concubine Xian's mother combed Concubine Xian's hair, muttering:

A comb to the end;

comb my girl's white hair and eyebrows;

The children and grandchildren of the three-comb girl are all over the ground;

The four combs have good luck, and the way out meets nobles;

Five combs and five sons came to receive the deed, and the five silver shoots were all in kind;

Six combs of relatives and friends came to help celebrate, and the boudoir dyed carmine in the mirror;

Seven combs and seven sisters go down to the earth with Dong Yong, and the Queqiao elevated is light and flat with each other;

Eight combs and eight immortals come to celebrate birthdays, and the treasure duck travels through the lotus road;

Nine combs and nine sons are all in a row;

Ten combs of husband and wife and two old men will be white-headed.

After combing her hair, Concubine Xian thanked her parents for their nurturing grace, got into the carriage, left the Xia Mansion, and drove towards the palace.

Concubine Xian entered the palace, and the emperor was still in the court for the early dynasty. After all, it's not about marrying a queen. The emperor can't be present, as the head of the harem, the queen still has to be there.

Concubine Xian gave the queen and saluted. The queen is very kind, and she doesn't straighten up the queen's frame and doesn't let Concubine Xian get up.

"Get up and sit down. This palace has been weak and sick since childhood, and in the future, the emperor will rely on the sister of the virtuous concubine to take care of him. Concubine Xian has just entered the palace, if there is anything unfamiliar in this palace, or if there is any need, you send someone to tell the palace. ”

"The concubine thanked Niangniang."

"There are naturally many differences between this palace and outside the palace, and it will be better when you get acquainted with it later."

"Yes, sissy."

"Hongu is weak and can't stay outside for a long time. Hongu went first. Bengong still said the same thing, if there is anything needed, come to Zhaoxiu Palace to find this palace. With that, the queen got up and left.

"The concubine sends the queen mother."

"Excuse me."

Concubine Xian watched the queen mother leave, thinking in her heart: The queen mother's kindness and entrustment, I am afraid that she will be disappointed. The emperor's harem is still very deserted.

Back in the Qinan Palace, Concubine Xian's dowry maid Jing'er said, "Niangniang, this queen is really frail and sickly. ”

"yes, it's a pity. Otherwise, with the appearance of the queen's mother, at least ten streets away from your young lady. ”

"Mother, don't be presumptuous."

"The queen mother is really beautiful, and your young lady can't compare."

"If you can't compare with us, you don't have to, my mother's advantages, that's a lot."

"For example?" Concubine Xian deliberately made things difficult, and looked at Jing'er with some evil eyes.

"For example, righteousness." The master who has followed him since he was a child has several advantages, and Jing'er knows better than anyone else. It's not bad to say big things, but if you really make it clear that there are advantages of single shoes, this is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"And then?"

"Well, it's all about the pros. Don't know which one to say? It's not too early for the mother, and the slave will go and prepare lunch for you. Jing'er deliberately diverted the topic and gave herself a step down.

Concubine Xian didn't embarrass him and nodded.

The virtuous concubines have already entered the palace, and the emperor naturally wants to go to Qinan Palace to have a look.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"No courtesy. This Concubine Xian of Qinan Palace lives well. ”

"Concubines are used to living."

"Just get used to it."

The chat between the two can only be regarded as an awkward chat.

The emperor dismissed all the minions, and there were only two people in the house, Concubine Xian and the emperor. After all, this is also the wedding night of the two, and they still have to be alone.

After retiring everyone, Concubine Xian hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor. This scene of the emperor actually has a similar feeling, when he canonized the queen and the queen's wedding night. The queen also knelt in front of the emperor like this, and this kneeling also broke off the relationship between the queen and the emperor.

Now that Concubine Xian enters the palace, the first thing is to kneel. This emperor is really helpless and innocent.

It is estimated that the emperor wants to pull the old man's beard and ask, what kind of red lines are signed here.

kowtowed: "The concubine thanks the emperor for saving his life." ”

"Excuse me."

"Your Majesty."

"It's not too early, Concubine Xian still packs up the floor and prepares to go to bed."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The concubines changed the emperor's clothes. ”

Concubine Xian made it very clear in the letter before, this floor belongs to Concubine Xian to sleep on, and the bed belongs to the emperor to sleep.

This night, although Concubine Xian was on the hard ground, her heart was very steady.

This night, the emperor was a little sleepless. remembered the queen, on the night of the wedding of the emperor and the queen, the emperor waved his sleeves and left. Compared to that time, who said that one person was on the ground and one person was asleep. This progress should not be underestimated.

This may also be the reason why Concubine Shu was so favored by the emperor later.

Concubine Shu, who had just entered the palace in the draft, not only did not kneel when she saw the emperor for the first time, but she was also coquettish and shy.

There was a stark contrast between before and after, and the emperor was naturally captured at once.

In the embroidery palace at night, Fan Er is changing the queen's clothes and preparing for bed.

"The emperor ascended the throne at the age of 15, and he has been on the throne for a year. This harem concubine is also the palace and the virtuous concubine. It's a little too pure. There was some guilt in the queen's weak voice. After all, neither the queen nor the virtuous concubine can give birth to an heir for the emperor.

"Niangniang, you are weak, you still have to worry less about these things, it is easy to hurt your mind."

"This palace is the lord of the six palaces, and these things are also things that are classified by this palace. Even if it hurts the gods, the main palace has to do it. The emperor's heirs have to rely on the harem to continue. Now that the emperor is still young, there may be no gossip in the court, but if it is a few years later, I am afraid that it will make people feel that the emperor has no successor, and it is easy to shake the foundation of the court. The queen thought about this, now that the father of the virtuous concubine, Lord Xia, has become the emperor's father-in-law, the civil and military pillars in the court, and the foundation stone is basically safe. There is no need to worry about the harem if it is chaotic and affect the court.

"That's what the mother said."

"While the palace still has some energy to do these things. It is still necessary to add more concubines to the emperor's harem. Only then can most of these concubines give birth to heirs for the emperor, and this court will be more stable. ”

"If there is anything to do with the mother, just leave it to the slave. Don't get tired anymore. This is since you were canonized last year, you were overworked, and you have not recovered until now. ”

"Hongu has been like this since he was a child, and he doesn't get in the way. Ming'er, the palace will tell the emperor about this draft, so that the officials above the 5th grade in the capital, and the girl who has reached the age of 14 in the family, can participate in the draft. ”

"It's a mother. You're broken tonight, get some rest early. The fan is standing by, and if anything happens to you, you are called a slave. ”

"Okay."

Since then, this harem has really become lively.
