Chapter 112: Finally Entering the Palace
On October 18, the tenth year of Kangxi, this day is an auspicious day set by Qintian, and it is also the day when Yun Yao enters the palace.
Today's autumn weather is crisp, and it can be regarded as a good weather.
I have to say that Yun Yao's entry into the palace has been tossed for a long time, and finally entered the palace in November. Not only Yun Yao, but everyone involved breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Yun Yao has been outside the palace for too long after being named Zhao Concubine, and even unrelated people in the court have to ask the emperor to quickly welcome the palace concubine into the palace so as not to lose his manners.
Because the Qing Dynasty has not been established for a long time, there are no rules to be found in this regard, but a palace concubine who has been canonized canonized can't stay outside the palace for so long!
Therefore, Yun Yao's road to the palace finally began at this moment, under the urging of outsiders, under the anxiety of Yun Yao's family, under the resentment of hostiles and with the acquiescence of the emperor.
It is said that Yun Yao's process of entering the palace this time is not ordinary at all, and even Yun Yao entered the palace this time according to the etiquette of Concubine Niu Hulu when she first entered the palace. As soon as this situation came out, not only the harem was boiling, but even the previous dynasty had many discussants, but this was not the queen's etiquette after all, so they didn't care about it after they discussed.
Yun Yao found out in this tossing road to the palace that the harem has not established a real hierarchy until now, and even when Concubine Niu Hulu entered the palace, she entered the palace in accordance with the etiquette system of the five concubines of the first emperor, and before that, there was no such thing as a concubine in the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, those who are familiar with the harem of the former dynasty know that the titles of the concubines of the Ming Dynasty are in order of rank: queen; Imperial Concubine; Chaise; Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shun, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning; Virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, Zhuang concubines, Li concubines, Hui concubines, An concubines, and concubines, concubines, and concubines; Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauty, talent, waiter, lady and so on.
So now everyone only knows that the concubine is under the concubine, but when Concubine Niu Hulu entered the palace, she didn't say what the title was, and Zhao Concubine entered the palace, although it was only a concubine, but she had a title, although Zhaozi as the emperor's nickname is also a good name, but it also has the meaning of jealousy of the untimely death of talents, but the title of a concubine can already be regarded as a favor, and there are no concubines in all dynasties with Zhao Zi as the title, so Zhao Concubine is also eye-catching.
But Concubine Niu Hulu is different, she and the queen were drafted together, one for the latter and the other as a concubine, but I don't know if it was because she wanted to suppress Concubine Niu Hulu, so she was not given a title at all, there were only these two people in the high position of the harem before, so there is no problem for Concubine Niu Hulu not to have a title, but now with Yun Yao's status infinitely close to Concubine Niu Hulu's Zhao Concubine, Concubine Niu Hulu's status is embarrassing for a while.
Of course, some people may say that the harem system of the Qing Dynasty has not been fully established, but in the two generations of Huang Taiji and Shunzhi, the concubines in the concubines have titles, and in the eyes of others, only the position of the concubine is not titled. However, the concubine is the head of the five concubines, so it is not uncommon to have no other title.
There are four other concubines in the imperial Taiji harem, namely Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, Concubine Chen of Guan Sui Palace, Concubine of Lintoe Palace, and Concubine Shu of Yanqing Palace. But in fact, I think that the five concubines in Manchurian customs also include the queen, and Manchuria is polygamy, and there may be a gap between the five concubines, but the juxtaposition of them as five concubines already explains the situation. So at this time, the rights of the concubine are still quite large.
And when it came to Shunzhi, because of the obedience to the Han system, the queen was taken out and placed at the head of the harem and in charge of all the harem concubines, but although the power of the concubine was weakened, it was still very large. However, because the queen is not favored by Shunzhi, the queen does not have as much power as the queen during the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the concubines of Shunzhi were all sent by Mongolia to marry, and they all have a lot of power behind them, even if they are Shunzhi, they dare not deal with it easily.
So just looking at the two dynasties, I knew that Concubine Niu Hulu was not much worse than the queen when she entered the palace at that time, of course, because the emperor now respects the Han system, so in the eyes of the emperor, the queen's status is higher than that of other concubines. But even so, Concubine Niu Hulu is on par with the queen in the harem, or even better.
However, before Yun Yao entered the palace this time, she always thought about the status of the concubine in the middle of Kangxi, but she didn't expect that before entering the palace, she actually enjoyed the treatment of the concubine beyond the specifications, and even more exaggerated than the concubine in some aspects.
Yun Yao found out after asking Mama Su that she had underestimated the gold content of the concubines at this time, at this time, the concubines in the main position all had a lot of power, and after she entered the palace in the last life, because Concubine Niu Hulu, who had been named the queen, had superb means and put a lot of power into her own hands, so Yun Yao, who had only entered the palace at that time, did not know that the queen did not have such great power before this.
Later, even if Concubine Tong Guifei became the imperial concubine, she did not have the prestige of Empress Niu Hulu when she was alive, not to mention that Concubine Tong died after only one day as a queen, so in Yun Yao's impression, the queen was the master of the harem, and the other concubines had no way to resist.
But now after Mama Su's popular science, Yun Yao found that she had taken it for granted. Even Yun Yao's position as a concubine appeared in the Qing Dynasty for the first time, so Yun Yao's status was not so easy to define. And Kangxi took great pains to give Yun Yao this position at the beginning.
However, Yun Yao also found that the definition of her status seemed to be a little vague this time, but today she enjoyed a relatively high level of etiquette. Yun Yao saw it now and knew how much her uncle had made a lot of effort in it, although there was Kangxi's acquiescence in it, but if it wasn't for Tu Hai's insistence enough, she wouldn't be like this.
Yun Yao also found that the turmoil behind her road to the palace was really not small, not to mention that after entering the palace this time, the Niu Hulu family seemed to be divided into two factions, one group of people came over with a stammering attitude towards Yun Yao when she entered the palace, and it could not be said that it was a stammer, it was more a friendship.
And the other group of people is completely ignoring or treating them coldly, these people seem to be a little cold and even contemptuous of Yun Yao's entry into the palace. These people are mainly Fa Qi, the sibling brother of Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace, and Yun Yao found that Fa Qi's wife was weird towards Yun Yao and Ma Jia's family, and even the gifts she gave were only the number of gifts, not much at all.
But on the contrary, it turned out to be another son of Suppilon, Alinga, this person's wife was full of praise for him as soon as she saw Yun Yao, and she couldn't wait to praise Yun Yao like a fairy in the sky, which made Yun Yao herself get goosebumps when she heard it. And it is said that Alinga also gave Yun Yao a heavy gift, which made everyone who saw it a little smacked, it is said that he didn't even send so much to Concubine Niu Hulu into the palace.
Yun Yao found that the completely opposite actions of Fa Qi and Ah Ling'a made all the people who congratulated them look sideways, but none of the people present were surprised by this matter, obviously the fight between the two brothers was already well known.
