I got up early every day to listen to Luo Xiang explain the rules of the palace with Lin Kexin, and got up after taking a nap in the afternoon to practice etiquette, standing, walking, greeting peace, eating and other postures. Lin Kexin and I are well-versed people, and we quickly learn skillfully. When I was free, I listened to Luo Xiang talk about gossip in the palace for a while. Luo Xiangyuan was an errand boy beside the Queen Mother, with a humble and straightforward temperament, and he was extremely thoughtful. Luo Xiang rarely mentioned the internal affairs of the palace, but the days passed, and although there were only a few words between the day and night, I also understood the situation in the palace.

I was very curious about the rank of the concubines in the palace, so I asked, "I don't know how many ranks the concubines in this palace have, can my aunt tell me?" ”

"I have a total of eight grades and twenty-two grades in the harem, and the queen is a super product, and then it is divided into one to eight products, each product is divided into genuine products, subordinate products, and concubines, such as the imperial concubine is a positive product, and the concubine, the concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the concubine Li are from the first product; The lady is a good product.

The concubine is the second grade; The noble concubine is from the second grade; Concubines are the second grade.

Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, Zhaorong; Trimming, contouring, and cultivating; Charging, filling capacity, and filling yuan are three products.

Shuyi, Shurong, Shuyuan; Guiyi, Guirong, Guiyuan; Yueyi, Yueyuan, Yuerong, and Yuehua are four products.

Wanyi, Wanyuan, Wanrong, Wanhua; Deyi, Deyuan, De Jong, Dehua; Liyi, Shunyi, Peiyi, and Fangyi are the five products.

Gui Ji; Imperial concubine; Ronghua is six products.

Jieyu; Elegant; It is often in the seventh grade.

Beauty, beauty, love; Shun people, talented people, ladies; Xiaoyi, Xiaoyuan, and Xiaodi are eight products. “

With so many titles, I was dumbfounded for a while.

"Then where do the harem concubines live in the palace?"

The harem is divided into the middle palace, the east palace and the west palace.

The queen is the middle palace and lives in Kunning Palace.

The other harem concubines lived in the east and west houses.

The east palace has Jingren Palace, Chengqian Palace, Zhongcui Palace, Yanxi Palace, Yonghe Palace, Jingyang Palace, and the West Palace has Yongshou Palace, Yikun Palace, Qixiang Palace, Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace, Chuxiu Palace.

Each palace has a palace maid servant, ten palace maids, eight palace maids, and the lowest eight-grade concubine to accompany a palace maid.

Cining Palace and the surrounding attic are inhabited by the empress dowager and the concubines and concubines, that is, the concubines of the first emperor.

"What about the emperor, do you live in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" I decided to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"The emperor usually lives in the Qianqing Palace, but sometimes he will sleep in the Yangxin Palace after he is late in the imperial study."
