Late at night, the fourth elder brother sat in the study reading a book, and Su Peisheng waited on the side.

Although the fourth elder brother was reading, he couldn't read it. He wondered, how could Manhua be so bold and dare to tell a joke to his brother?

Su Peisheng saw that the fourth elder brother was distracted, and asked, "Does the fourth master still want to read?" ”

The fourth elder brother was silent, so Su Peisheng asked the palace maid to bring dessert to the fourth elder brother for supper.

"Put it down, you get out!" Su Peisheng saluted and agreed.

Su Peisheng was waiting outside the room, and he couldn't hear any movement from the fourth elder brother, but he didn't dare to go in.

Finally, there was movement in the house, Su Peisheng quietly stretched his head in to take a look, and saw that the fourth elder brother put down the book, but did not move those snacks, and walked to the desk and stopped.

"What's going on with the fourth elder brother tonight, he can't read the book, he has been sitting for so long, and he has to write again, isn't he tired?" Su Peisheng wanted to go in and persuade him, but he hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't dare to go in, after all, he was a slave and was afraid of being scolded by the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother stood in front of the desk for a while, picked up the brush, and brushed and wrote on the white paper.

Su Peisheng still knows a few words, and he is not illiterate. He is the personal attendant eunuch beside the fourth elder brother, and he knows a lot of things about the fourth elder brother. He was a little surprised when he saw these words written by the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother wrote the word "Manhua" again.

Su Peisheng thought to himself, why did the fourth elder brother write the name of Manhua Gege again? Last time, I also saw a piece of paper with the word "Manhua" written on it, could it be that the fourth elder brother has ideas about Manhua Gege?

After Manhua followed Concubine Tong Jia to manage the chores of the harem, she better understood why the concubines in the harem were desperately flattering Kangxi. Because of the level of status, it not only determines the difference in treatment, the disparity in identity and treatment, and the difference in living treatment, but also controls the fate and life and death of oneself and others. No wonder those harem concubines, when they saw Kangxi, they were like butterflies seeing flowers, beeswax seeing honey, and they seemed to go in to offer flattery!

The rank of harem women in the Qing Dynasty can be divided into: queen, imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, always present, promised, and official woman. The palace share in the palace is divided into grades, and the palace share of the queen mother is the highest, and the palace share is 20 taels of annuity and 1,000 taels of silver. There was no gold in the queen's palace, only 1,000 taels of silver. The imperial concubine and the concubine's palace share is eight hundred taels of silver. The palace share of the concubine is 600 taels of silver, while the palace share of the concubine is 300 taels of silver, and the palace share of the nobleman is 200 taels of silver. Below the nobles, they are not considered people at all, only a few dozen taels of silver in the palace, and some palace women with the lowest rank have to do things to have food to eat.

In addition to cash, the harem lady also has physical distribution. Silk, cotton, mink, pork, mutton, and even turnips, greens, rice, and oil are all clearly defined.

According to the regulations, the queen is equipped with 1 palace maid, the imperial concubine is matched with 8 palace maids, the concubine is matched with 8 palace maids, the concubine is matched with 6 palace maids, the concubine is matched with 6 palace maids, and the noble person is matched with 4 palace maids.

Although there are a certain number of palace maids waiting for the concubine according to the regulations, there are so many palace maids and physical objects, you want more palace maids, everyone shares it, and everyone has to live with their stomachs, therefore, every harem concubine wants fewer palace maids than the regulations.

Manhua looked at the splendid Forbidden City, thinking that in the eyes of outsiders, it was a beautiful palace. However, it is important to live in it. I don't care here, and I don't know when I'm dead.
