"Niangniang, scared the slave to death, you fell into the water this time, thanks to the emperor who saved you, otherwise all the slaves and maids will be buried together, and Niangniang must not run around by herself in the future." An Ruyi, the head of the palace maids of Yonghe Palace, came in and cried again.

I don't have any memory of the concubine level in my mind, I don't know if the original owner doesn't care about these things or if he lost his memory after falling into the water, I am very curious about the concubine level in the palace, and I want to know about it.

Then he asked: "After the palace fell into the water, I lost a lot of memories, I don't know how many levels the concubines in this palace have, can Ruyi tell me?" ”

"Niangniang has a life, how dare the slave not say it!!" , An Ruyi bowed her head and said.

"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.

Each palace has a eunuch leader, and this eunuch leader is responsible for the affairs of the palace and obeys the dispatch of the mother.

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."

"The most closely related to Niangniang is the Jingshi room, and Niangniang must keep in mind the several eunuchs in the Jingshi room." The aunt continued.

"The governing body of the harem is called Jingshifang. The head of the worship room is called the chief eunuch, and there are several deputy chiefs. ”

"The power of this respectful room is great, and the mother must not offend these eunuchs."

"Then tell the main palace in detail about the duties of the worship room!!" , I continued.

"First: manage the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace

The worship room is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are more than 2,000 eunuchs and palace maids in the worship room.

Because of the reference of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor learned a lesson and strengthened the management of eunuchs, so he set up an institution specifically responsible for the management of eunuchs and palace maids, that is, the Jingshifang. This can not only facilitate management, but also prevent eunuchs from interfering in politics. The respectful room rewards and punishes those palace maids and eunuchs, and strictly manages them.

Second: Responsible for arranging the duty time of eunuchs and palace maids

The security in the palace is very strict, in addition to the guards on duty, there are also eunuchs and palace maids on shifts, and these eunuchs and palace maids on duty also need to meet the needs of the royal family and serve the royal family.

In order to be able to serve the emperor's concubines and others in a timely manner, the respectful room will make reasonable arrangements to fill the vacant seats in the palace and transfer redundant personnel. At the same time, the eunuchs and maids in the palace will be strictly inspected to prevent assassins from pretending to be and so on.

Third: Responsible for managing the emperor's bedchambers

The emperor had many concubines. Some of those concubines have a relatively high status, and many of them can't even see the emperor's face.

With so many concubines, it is impossible for the emperor to be lucky for every one, so there will be the practice of "flopping the cards".

And the eunuchs in charge of the "flopping the brand" are the eunuchs in the Jingshifang, who will send the "brand" to the emperor after the emperor has dinner, and let him choose. It can be said that the interests behind this work are very large, and many concubines who hope to be favored by the emperor will basically give "benefits" to the eunuchs in charge in private. And because the worship room is responsible for the bed, many people are kind to them. With such a "big oil and water" benefit, many eunuchs want to serve in the worship room.

Fourth: Record the life and death of the royal family and marriage

The worship room not only records when and where the emperor is fortunate to come, but also records the date of birth of each elder brother and Gege. In this way, the records can be compared in the future to avoid impure royal blood.

In addition to this, the life and death of every member of the royal family will be recorded. When those elder brothers and Gege are ready to marry, the Jingshifang will also be responsible for preparing these matters, purchasing the materials needed, and improving the etiquette arrangements. ”

It was so carefully managed, I was not only dumbfounded after listening to it.

。。。。。。。。

The Forbidden City, the Heavenly Prison.

The prison held many political prisoners and rebels of the Qing Dynasty, and all the prisoners in this prison were repeat offenders.

But the most important thing is the criminals in the No. 1 cell of Tianzi.

A convict was held here, with three thick chains locked to his hands and feet.

He is the great disciple of Wudang, Qiu Yuji.

Shuntian Mansion Yin arrested a lot of relevant Han people for interrogation because of a theft case.

Qiu Tianji's father was also arrested and interrogated, but unexpectedly tortured to death.

Qiu Yuji, who was furious for a while, killed Shuntian Mansion Yin and all the relevant government officials.

And left the words "Murderer Qiu Yuji" at the scene.

Qiu Yuji's martial arts skills are world-famous, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department of the Qing Dynasty cannot arrest the case at all.

However, unexpectedly, Qiu Yuji's second junior brother betrayed him.

Qiu Yuji's second junior brother found an opportunity to put his tea in his tea, dissipating his internal strength.

Only then did he hand over Qiu Yuji to the yamen.

"Poor Dao has made it very clear, even if the emperor puts Poor Dao away, although Poor Dao will not oppose the emperor, but he will not be loyal to the emperor, why did the emperor come again?" Qiu Yuji saw that Dolgon had come to persuade him again, and said indifferently.

"I know that you are not willing to surrender and be loyal to me, but this time I only need you to protect and pledge allegiance to another person, this person is Han Chinese, and it is a woman!!."

"Han, female?" Qiu Yuji looked at Dolgon suspiciously.

"She is my beloved concubine, she has both a peerless appearance and amazing talents, she is not only familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but also knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you just need to protect her and listen to her orders, so it is not difficult for you, how?"

"Your beloved concubine, do you want to be poor and protect and loyal?"

Qiu Yuji did not seem to fully understand the meaning of Dorgon's words.

"My concubine is kind-hearted, if she persuades me, I may kill a few fewer Han people, isn't that what you asked?" Seeing that Qiu Yuji didn't say anything, Dolgon increased his chips.

"Aren't there a lot of internal guards and internal supervisors in the palace? Why do you have to protect your concubine? Qiu Yuji asked.

"It's just because there are martial arts masters lurking in my palace, if this person wants to assassinate my concubine, the inner guards can't protect my concubine at all, so I look for you, don't you want to be such a master, don't you Han people like to compete with an opponent who can compete with you?"

"The emperor is not afraid that I will assassinate you when I go out?" Qiu Yuji stared at Dolgon.

"Hahaha, Daoist Qiu laughed, if it weren't for the Huagong Scatter given by your junior brother, which was used once every six days, this little chain and heavenly prison would not have been able to trap Daoist at all."

"It is precisely because of the dispersion of the Daoist that the Daoist is currently unable to gather internal forces at all, so this is the last chance for the Daoist, no matter what, I let the Daoist go this time, and it can be regarded as a favor to the Daoist, I believe that the Daoist is a great disciple and will not do anything to take revenge." Dorgon said without fear.

"Then the emperor has already sentenced the Daoist Ling Chi to the punishment, and he will be executed at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, how can the emperor explain to the outside world?" Qiu Yuji said.

"This is just a trivial matter for me, I will still be executed tomorrow, just exchange a death row prisoner for you, so externally, the Taoist is dead." Dorgon said unhurriedly.

"Hahaha, the emperor who knows me, the deal is !!." Qiu Yuji said with great emotion.

"Very good, come here, loosen the ties, and take him to my Heart Cultivation Palace."

"My beloved concubine is finally safe."

Controlling the ecstasy in his heart, Dole muttered to himself with excitement and walked out of the No. 1 cell of Tianzi quickly.
