Three days later, at the end of the day, Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang had breakfast, so she sent someone to summon Emperor Kangxi and Princess Ruobing here, ready to discuss the matter of giving titles and titles to the newcomers.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang showed a kind look, and slowly smiled at Kangxi: "Xuan Ye, your blessings are not shallow, the newcomers selected recently, the imperial grandmother is very satisfied, and there is no shortage of famous ladies, people who are full of poetry and books, they will be very good to assist the queen, the companions are around you, the palace masters are few and empty, I want to discuss the position of the newcomers with you today, I don't know what you have in mind, and said to listen to the imperial grandmother and your Aunt Ruobing." ”

Kangxi was a little shy, pretending to be normal, and said with a smile: "The selection of newcomers this time is thanks to the hard work of the imperial grandmother and aunt, and the selected person is very much in line with the grandson's wishes, but it is up to the imperial grandmother to decide." ”

Xiaozhuang laughed, turned his head to Miss Ruobing and said, "Look, Xuan Ye has grown up and learned to be shy, how about you, as an aunt, help him plan?" ”

Miss Ruobing said with a smile: "The emperor's mother has been rarely happy recently, and we, who are aunts, are also happy for the emperor, so we should plan for it."

The people of the harem accompany the king all day long, and the most important thing is to take care of the emperor properly, the closer the person is, the more he should get the emperor's heart, this is one of them;

Second, since ancient times, the harem has been inextricably linked with the court, and this time the arrangement of the position naturally needs to consider the affairs of the people in the court, presumably the emperor can better understand the way of the emperor;

Third, although there are many reasons, there must be a newcomer who is extremely favored by the emperor and has no family background to take the throne, otherwise, the harem will not become a ruthless and unrighteous place.

Fourth, the newcomer should also take into account the queen and Concubine Zhao, the queen is the master of the harem, so it is naturally the duty to lead the affairs of the harem.

Therefore, among the newcomers, there are people with prominent family backgrounds and outstanding appearances in the emperor's mind, and there are Shangguan Lan'er, the daughter of Shangguan Qingyun, who is a third-class loyal waiter, and Niu Hulu, the daughter of Concubine Zhao and the daughter of Kubilong. Chenxi, the daughter of the prince Shaobao Aobai, Guerjia. Wanruo, Nangong Yan, the daughter of Nangong Xixi, a third-class guard, and Shuhui, the daughter of Ji Ayuxi, a third-class prince of Horqin, I don't know what the Empress Dowager and the emperor think. ”

The Empress Dowager said loudly: "Okay, Ruobing said it well, except for Chenxi and Wanruo's family background, the appearance of these two daughters is really worthy of my grandson, and the rest are even more beautiful, especially Shangguan Lan'er, who is really a likable little beauty, which is very much in line with me." Xuan Ye, what do you think of the charter of these people? ”

Kangxi said with a smile: "Grandmother of the Emperor, Aunt Ruobing's analysis is very good, these grandchildren also feel very agreeable, and Shangguan Lan'er is also agreeable." At the end of the day, the voice was quieter.

Xiaozhuang said with a smile: "Emperor Xuanye's grandmother will help you come up with an idea first, the queen will rule the six palaces, Concubine Zhao will be promoted to concubine, the daughter of Shangguan Qingyun, the daughter of Shangguan Qingyun, and the daughter of Concubine Zhao, Niu Hulu, the daughter of Jubilon. Concubine Chen, the daughter of the prince Shaobao Aobai, Guerjia. Wan Ruo Ji Wan Concubine, the daughter of the third-class guard Nangong Xixi, Nangong Yan Ji Yi Concubine, the daughter of the third-class Gongji Ayuxi of Horqin, Borzigit. Shuhui is a concubine, and the rest of the nobles often promise that your Aunt Ruobing will agree with the queen, what do you think? ”

Kangxi said: "Very good, imperial grandmother, it's just that the grandson doesn't understand, whether the status of Nangong Yan, the daughter of Nangong Xixi, is higher, after all, the person of your mother's clan, Borzigit. Shuhui Fang is registered as a concubine. ”

Xiaozhuang said with a smile: "Good grandson, I have a heart, Nangong Yan came from a mediocre background, and canonized him as a concubine, which can show the courage of my Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to look down on the world and treat everyone equally. The position of Shuhui, the daughter of Jia Yuxi, is not in the way. ”

Kangxi smiled: "In this way, my grandson is relieved." ”

In the past few days, the family that was finally selected to accompany the king in the palace was left with a sign in Beijing, and the people who came from other places to live in the major inns were all happy and busy.

The Shangguan Marquis Mansion is even more lively, extremely glorious, and ascending step by step. The day before yesterday, there was a decree of the Empress Dowager, and Shangguan Lan'er left a card and entered the palace directly; Today is even more envious of everyone, just after the hour, a group of royal people came, it turned out that the chief manager Xi Gonggong came with a will: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the third-class loyalty and righteousness of Shangguan Qingyun's daughter Shangguan Lan'er Lan Xinhui quality, born a famous family, virtue and blessing, even heartfelt, specially given Lan word, title Lan Concubine, Qin this!" ”

After receiving the holy decree, Mrs. Shangguan, Shangguan Hong and Xie Bo'an's family were so happy that they had nothing to do, and they were canonized as concubines before they entered the palace, which was a great glory and a blessing for several lifetimes. ”

Shangguan Lan'er said with a smile: "Thank you for your words, no matter what time it is, it is indispensable to raise your father-in-law, if there is anything inconsiderate, please also ask Father-in-law Xi to take care of it, Lan'er is polite." Shangguan Hong was busy ordering people to give heavy wedding gifts to the emperor, and being able to get the chief eunuch around the emperor to pass on the holy decree shows the importance of the royal family, and he can't ignore the people around the emperor.

Father-in-law Xi hurriedly said: "Concubine Lan, Shangguan Houye, the old slave has been tormented, Concubine Lan has to be promoted, in the future, the old slave can count on the mother, the old slave thanked him first, say goodbye to his family, I will not delay, I have to go to other families to pass the decree, you are the first one." ”

After sending off her father-in-law, Shangguan Lan'er knelt on the ground, and the three of them hurriedly supported Shangguan Lan'er and said, "You are now Concubine Lan's mother, how dare you make such a big gift, I am waiting for you to salute." ”

Shangguan Lan'er said: "The grace of nurturing cannot be repaid, this time I entered the palace, I don't know when I will meet, let my daughter do her best!" After saying that, he bowed three times and bowed to Mrs. Shangguan and Xie Bo'an and his wife, and tears poured out like springs and beads. Bian said: "This time I will protect my sister in the palace, please rest assured that my father and mother will not be able to do my filial piety, the second elder will take care of his body, don't worry." Brother, my mother relies on you to do my filial piety for my sister, and it is convenient for you to move around the palace, so bring more news of your mother to me. ”

Shangguan Hong said: "Although my sister can rest assured, everything in the family can be assured, but you are in the palace, you have to take care of yourself, if you have difficulties, go to find Princess Ruobing, she will definitely protect you." ”

At this moment, the endless words and endless tears came out of my brain, and I couldn't hide from it or shake it off.

Near noon, Princess Ruobing rushed to Shangguan Mansion, a group of people hurriedly took over, everyone sat down, Ruobing girl smiled: "Shangguan Marquis, today I will bother in the mansion about a meal, so as to save you from owing me the unfinished favor." ”

Shangguan Hong hurriedly smiled and said: "The princess, I can't ask for it, so the sister will give the princess a lot of mention." Sheng Ying quickly ordered a feast. ”

When Miss Ruobing heard this, she said angrily: "Old lady Shangguan, look at you, the young lady of Shangguan, you really don't suffer a loss, and arrange an errand for me, and let him say, I will be thoughtful Concubine Lan, this is the façade of your old lady Shangguan, and it has nothing to do with him." The crowd laughed.

Shangguan Lan'er said: "I have thanked my aunt in advance, Lan'er will definitely be more attentive and try not to disturb my aunt." ”

Miss Ruobing smiled: "Concubine Lan is talented and intelligent, I am relieved, don't listen to my nonsense with your untrue brother, it's okay, you and I are a family."

Shangguan Hong, I would like to remind you, don't just care about the joy, forget to bring enough money to Concubine Lan, and let her be wronged. The land of the harem, that is the place where money is spent and flowing. In addition, in the past two days, I will enter the palace with me and take you to meet the Empress Dowager Xie En, which can be regarded as a decent consideration for Concubine Lan. ”

Shangguan Hong patted his head, and was even more grateful to Miss Ruobing in his heart, and hurriedly instructed the family to prepare items and belongings, and bring enough gold, silver, softness, and jewelry to his two younger sisters.

For three consecutive days, the Shangguan Mansion congratulated guests continuously, and there was an endless stream, compared with before, it was a different kind of lively scene. It's true: the ancients didn't see the present time and the moon, and the current month used to shine according to the ancients, the ups and downs of ordinary things, and the bustle was full of vicissitudes.
