241, Harem Undercurrent (1)
Empress Changsun was grounded for a month, and then her brother was dismissed again, which caused a lot of whirlwind in the harem, and many people thought that the queen might lose the emperor's favor.
But what happened next made everyone's good wish come to naught, and the queen went to thank the emperor for his guilt after the expiration of the grounding period, and the emperor immediately reconciled as before.
Since the queen lowered her head and admitted her mistake, the emperor was the same as before, and he could only see her in his eyes, even if the queen was pregnant and could not sleep, the emperor still stayed in her bedroom for seven or eight days in a row.
Not only that, but a few days after the emperor reconciled, he personally issued an edict, sealing the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just resigned from the phase, as the opening of the palace and the three divisions, and the emperor's series of actions made everyone who wanted to see the jokes of the eldest grandson's family shut up.
Concubine Yin De was so angry that she smashed a lot of things in the palace, although she was warned by her brother and did not dare to act rashly, small actions in private were indispensable.
One day in early March, Concubine Yin De lost her temper in the palace, and then took the palace maid to the Zhaoping Palace of Concubine Yan Xian, who was the granddaughter of Yan Rong, a cool official of the previous dynasty.
Yan Rong was cruel, ruthless, and insatiable, and was later given death by Emperor Wen of Sui, and Concubine Yanxian's parents remembered her father's lessons and were extremely strict with their children's upbringing.
Concubine Yan Xian was raised to be a lady who should be, gentle and humble, knowledgeable, and in the second year of Wude, she entered the Qin Palace's mansion with Wei and Yin.
Adhering to the indisputable posture in everything, because she is about the same age as Concubine Yinde, several people who entered the house at the same time, she has the closest relationship with Concubine Yinde.
has been by Li Shimin's side for many years, and seeing that Li Shimin is the only one who favors her eldest grandson, she wants to say in her heart that it is impossible to be without the slightest jealousy and discomfort.
However, her education at a young age made her very clear that as a royal concubine, what should be done and what should not be done, if she wants to live comfortably in the palace, she can't make any mistakes in her words and deeds.
For this reason, although she has a good relationship with Concubine Yinde, she never participates in her affairs, and when she was crowned a concubine, Concubine Yinde's rank pressed her by half a level, and she was not angry.
At that time, her son Li Zhen had not yet been born, and Concubine Yinde's son was already a few years old, so it was natural that Concubine Yinde was half a level higher than her.
"Sister, what are you busy with?" When Concubine Yin De came in, Concubine Yan Xian was busy arranging a pot of flowers and trees.
"My sister is here, the flowering period of the jasper is coming soon, I have exactly two pots here, so I will help the whole branch." Concubine Yan Xian saw Yin Dexin coming in, and hurriedly put down the matter in her hand and greeted her.
"You like these flowers and plants, how about Zhen'er? Haven't you been good lately? Concubine Yin De smiled and said.
"It's very good, this little guy is more than half a year old, as long as he is not hungry, he will play with his toes and learn to turn over by himself when he wakes up, he rarely cries, and he is very easy to bring." Speaking of her son, Concubine Yan Xian's eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness, her son Li Zhen was born in August last year, and he will be seven months old in a few days.
"Time flies so fast, Zhen'er is almost one year old in a blink of an eye, my family You'er is almost seven years old, and the baby in the queen's womb should come out in a few months."
"There is also Qingluo Palace, entering His Majesty's harem as a remarriage, I thought it was a rare blessing to have a daughter, but I didn't expect that now I have a body again, she was named a concubine without a child, if she has another son......" Concubine Yin De's face sighed, and when she talked about Wei Guifei of Qingluo Palace, her eyes suddenly flashed with resentment.
"Sister is cautious." Yan Xianhou subconsciously glanced left and right, but didn't find any suspicious people, so she said a word.
"Hmph, I'm really not convinced, it's not that you don't know my temper, I've always been straightforward and fast-talking, if it's someone else, she Wei Jue, I really can't be convinced." Concubine Yin De snorted.
Concubine Yan Xian glanced at her, there was no interface, Concubine Yin De made two complaints, and soon the conversation changed: "I came to find my sister today, I have a business to discuss, the queen is getting bigger and bigger, and her body is getting heavier, so she can't take care of this trivial matter in the palace." ”
"Let a few of our sisters take over the palace affairs, we don't have much management experience before, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so I came to my sister to discuss."
"That's true, but it doesn't matter if we don't understand, call the people from the Sixth Bureau over and ask, and then according to the previous practice, we can supervise from the side." Concubine Yan Xian heard her talk about this matter, no longer perfunctory, and hurriedly discussed it with her seriously.
As the eldest grandson's belly grew, she had no energy to manage palace affairs, and Concubine Wei was also pregnant, so just three days ago, the queen called Concubine Shu, Concubine De and Concubine Xian over and asked them to temporarily help the regent take care of palace affairs.
The harem of the Tang Dynasty is divided into six bureaus and twenty-four divisions, which are Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangshu Bureau, and Shanggong Bureau.
Shanggong Bureau, the management of the secretary, the palm of the propaganda play, the secretary, the palm of the directory measurement, the division, the palm format of the punishment, the secretary, the head of the cabinet of the Gong.
Shangyi Bureau, the management of the secretary, the teaching of the history of the scriptures, the pen and paper cases, the music, the music of the music, the guest, the praise, and the related rituals and praise.
Shangfu Bureau, Zhangsi Xi, Zhangcong Seal Symbol, Divisional Clothing, Division Decoration and so on.
Shang Food Bureau, management of food, wine, medicine, charcoal and so on
Shang Sleep Bureau, manage bed mats and tents, lay wine sweeps, umbrella fans, as well as imperial garden planting, vegetables and fruits, candles and lamps and so on.
Shang Gong Bureau, pipe to create a style, headdress jewelry, a color silk, weaving and so on.
Among the six palaces, there are ten people in the Shang Palace, all of whom are from the fifth grade, twenty from the division, twenty from the sixth grade, twenty-eight from the pawn, from the seventh grade, twenty-eight from the palm, and nine from the product.
These six palaces each perform their own duties and assist the queen in managing the harem.
Xiao Wu was originally a person next to Empress Changsun, and she, like Qinglan and Chou, has been by the side of Empress Changsun since she was a child.
When Empress Changsun was still Princess Qin, she was the right-hand lady of Empress Changsun's side.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne and the eldest grandson became a country, Empress Changsun thought that although she took over the entire harem, there must be her own people among the principals in the six palaces.
It just so happened that when Xiao Wu was by the side of the eldest grandson, she had been helping her manage her clothes and belongings. He has great attainments and experience in clothing and cloth weaving.
For this reason, the eldest grandson transferred her to the Shanggong Bureau and became a great Shanggong, Xiao Wu did not disappoint her, she came to the Shanggong Bureau for less than three months, and she sat firmly in the position of the Great Shanggong.
"Well, my sister is right, then tomorrow we will go to find Concubine Shu, and the three of us will summon Shanggong Shangyi from all bureaus to understand the regulations first, how about it?"
"In two days, it will be the day to buy new clothes and new decorations for the sisters in each palace." Concubine Yin De snorted and said.
"I have no opinion, my sister and Concubine Yang Shu have discussed it, just greet me." Concubine Yan Xian nodded.
"Niangniang, you said that Concubine Yin De came here to talk to you about this?" After Yin De left, Chuan Xiu, who was beside Concubine Yan Xian, looked at her disappearing back with a puzzled expression and said.
