"Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao didn't know that there were so many etiquettes in the court, she was used to being imaginative and didn't know anything about the rules of the palace. However, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di chased after her, made an exception to canonize her as Wang Guifei, and named Concubine Feng. The princess is a rank second only to the queen, and her power is above the concubine. There is no queen in the harem after Queen Xu's death, Zhu Di has his plans, Wang Guifei is just an excess, temporarily taking the harem, and then being crowned queen.

It was not until Emperor Shunzhi that the princess was changed to the imperial concubine, and then it gradually became customized. When the later concubines wanted to succeed to the middle palace, they would generally be crowned imperial concubines first, temporarily taken into the harem, and then crowned as queens.

Chen Fengjiao was canonized as Wang Guifei by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di caused a sensation, this has never been a thing, several concubines were jealous and went crazy, only Concubine Quan was calm and calm, she understood that the Ming Dynasty had established the rules that the harem should not interfere in politics from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, and canonized Chen Fengjiao as Wang Guifei, first, the emperor really liked her, and secondly, Chen Fengjiao had a heavy responsibility, and the emperor must give her the greatest support. Moreover, Concubine Quan Yifei also knew in her heart that Zhu Di was just wishful thinking, Chen Fengjiao was not uncommon in this status, she was not a caged bird, she would fly sooner or later, and the emperor couldn't tie her.

The new concubine needs to learn the rules of the palace, and Concubine Quan said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to personally guide the princess, lest she make a mistake and disgrace the reputation of the royal family." ”

Zhu Di looked at her and smiled: "It's rare that Concubine Yi has such a mind, I am very pleased." I'll leave it to Concubine Yi's office, I can rest assured. ”

Zhu Di also asked someone to decorate the "Fengming Palace" carefully, and said to Chen Fengjiao that he would live temporarily and discuss it after the matter was completed. Zhu Di wanted to hold a ceremony as soon as possible to officially canonize her as Wang Guifei, so that her name would be justified. was rejected by Chen Fengjiao. Her reason is also very subtle, she said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the concubine is ready to do her best to fulfill the wish of the saint, but the saint should know such a sentence, the crockpot is not broken from the well." The general will inevitably die in battle. King Huashan's subordinates are full of talents, and it will be a vicious battle to the death. If a concubine has three longs and two shorts, it is not a pity for me to die, but if the emperor canonizes me as a royal concubine, how will he explain it to the people of the world? ”

Zhu Di was stunned, he thought of everything, but he didn't expect that the battle between Chen Fengjiao and the "Glacier Saintess" Ou Hanbing would be a battle of life and death. When two tigers fight, one will die. In case Chen Guifei dies on the battlefield, she really can't explain it to her ministers. Ming Chengzu's heart suddenly felt a pang, was it a wise move for the woman he liked to fight with Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan? Zhu Di began to wonder if his extermination of the Shen family and the Ou family was worth it. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen did not see anyone dead or dead, his power had been completely deprived, and he could no longer set off any storms, what else was he afraid of? But the arrow had to be sent on the string, the emperor had golden lips and jade teeth, the words of the emperor could not be changed casually, Ou Lingtian, the king of Huashan, must die, and only when he died could Zhu Di have a thorough explanation. Otherwise, the Ming Emperor would have been smeared with a layer of gray color on his undefeated record. Let posterity laugh.

Chen Fengjiao and Chen Guifei are now a pawn on his chessboard, and they can only rush forward. There is no turning back.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di frowned and replied: "The princess thought more than me, so she followed your idea and postponed the ceremony." It's just that I feel ashamed of the princess, and I feel uneasy. ”

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was telling the truth. Chen Fengjiao was a little moved. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. The emperor is the Ninety-Five, and it is rare for him to be like this. Chen Fengjiao knelt down and said sincerely: "Thank you for the emperor's understanding, for being able to make the emperor so loving." The concubines were sincerely frightened and grateful. ”

Zhu Di nodded, and finally got Chen Fengjiao's thoughtful words. He was still very relieved.

Next, Chen Fengjiao has to face endless court etiquette, for the sake of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's face, she must learn, of course, her first teacher turned out to be Concubine Expedient. Concubine Quan Yi wants to teach Concubine Chen Guifei to learn court etiquette, all the concubines are secretly surprised, it stands to reason that the most difficult thing is Concubine Convenience, she is Zhu Di's favorite concubine, before Chen Fengjiao appeared, she basically replaced the queen to exercise power, but Concubine Quan is very smart, left and right, no one can be offended. The concubines came to Concubine Justifia's residence in twos and threes, telling the emperor's injustice, how did they fall in love with a folk woman who didn't know how to be polite, and it is said that she is still a powerful character, and she dares to kill people with a temper. The harem is a peaceful world of singing and dancing, and it can't accommodate such a woman to behave indiscriminately. Broken rules. As for how Chen Guifei acted recklessly, no one could give practical examples.

Concubine Quan smiled without saying a word, fully letting them perform. The palace walls are red, the pillars in the palace are also red, some people say that the palace walls are like blood, there is no killing in the palace, the emperor appears as a sacred image of benevolence and compassion, he uses a face in the court to make the ministers be cautious all day long, trembling, for fear of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing to invite death. When he arrived at the harem, the emperor immediately changed his smile, the harem is a place where he can relax physically and mentally, and there is a woman he likes in the harem, the prince and grandson, when the emperor smiled and stroked the child's pink little face. He doesn't care how many children outside the palace die prematurely, or die in the chaos of war. What he cares about is that the peaceful world outside can last a little longer, so that he can fully enjoy the life of the emperor.

The harem is not a peaceful world, and torture and killing are doubled in other places, but they are more secretive and less known. As the blood scabs over and dries on the palace walls, more blood fills up, and the palace needs the blood to keep it bright forever. It's as if the emperor always needs someone else to pay for his existence.

The concubines are jealous of each other, and it is common for them to fight openly and secretly, and the emperor himself is helpless. These flowery women serve a man, the emperor's energy is limited, they have time, they need to find something to pass the extra time. They are suspicious of each other, jealous of each other, and hate to kill all their opponents under the superficial harmony, so that the emperor can concentrate on pampering himself. But that's not possible. For example, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di likes expedient concubines and pampers other women, and the emperor likes to try new things, which is a common problem for men, but the emperor also knows that the harem maidens are his concubines, not folk women who play casually. A bowl of water should be flat.

Now the sudden intrusion of a folk woman has broken this balance, and this folk woman has ascended to the sky in one step, and she has unknowingly firmly occupied the heart of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and the construction of the golden house has surprised everyone. The emperor even canonized her as a royal concubine, which is unreasonable. The intention of the concubines was to encourage the expedient concubines to blow the wind on the pillow, so that the emperor should not be so impulsive, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

But Concubine Quan became Chen Fengjiao's teacher, and the concubines couldn't accept this fact.

Sending away waves of people, Concubine Quan always smiled, smiled, and smiled, did not show her attitude, did not snub them, persuaded them with good words, or diverted the topic. When no one came, Concubine Quan Yi set off to see Chen Fengjiao in the "Fengming Palace", the gate of the splendid palace in the back garden of Kunning Palace was guarded by soldiers, and she didn't dare to slack off when she saw that Concubine Quan was coming, so she hurriedly reported, "Qin Sheng" Chen Fengjiao greeted her with a smile, and when she saw Concubine Quan Fei, she hurriedly gave a salute, Concubine Quan took a step forward and helped her and said: "Concubine Feng is killing me, it stands to reason that I should give a gift to Concubine Wang first." ”

Chen Fengjiao smiled and said: "Fengjiao is just a folk woman who doesn't understand the rules of the palace. Concubine Yi came to be a teacher for the slave family. The dignity of the teacher must be observed. In addition, the slave family is one year younger than Concubine Yi, so she should call you sister, I don't know if Concubine Yi is willing to accept it. ”

Concubine Expedient's heart was hot, the title of sister Concubine Expedient had not been heard for a long time. Chen Fengjiao's expression was sincere, without the slightest hypocrisy. She doesn't need to be hypocritical, the palace is just a place where she temporarily lives, and her footprints are all over the country, free and easy, which is the envy of Concubine Expedien. Since entering the palace, I have lost my freedom as if I was in a cage, and the outside world is exciting, but it is insulated from her. Being able to recognize this sister today may be a kind of fate. There's nothing wrong with that.

Concubine Quan Yifei took Chen Fengjiao's hand and said, "Good sister, I agreed." ”

Both of them were happy, but what happened next began to give Chen Fengjiao a headache. The first is to understand the level of the concubine, the concubine of the Ming Dynasty, divided into more than a dozen grades: queen, concubine, concubine, talent, Jieyu, Zhaoyi, beauty, Zhaorong, selection of waiters, ladies and other titles or ranks, but there are changes in each dynasty, not static. There are 12 eunuchs and 8 palace maids around the concubine, and the general concubines are 10 eunuchs and 6 palace maids. Their expenses such as eating, dressing, drinking tea, and petty expenses are all provided according to their ranks. From the queen to the promise, their salaries are called "palace points", and the difference in rank is very large.

Now there is no queen in the palace, and the newly canonized princess Chen Fengjiao is temporarily the head of the harem, and she can usually wear it casually, but the crown must be decorated with phoenix luan, real pearls and jade, more than the big ceremony.

The costumes of the concubine are also very particular, as far as the silk brocade is concerned, there are makeup satin, soft smoke Luo, cloud brocade, rain flower brocade, Ling brocade, Shu brocade, Huanhua brocade, scattered flower brocade, color halo brocade, rain silk brocade, brocade, jade brocade, woven gold brocade and so on, dazzling. "Qin Saint" Chen Fengjiao has also seen the world through wind and rain, what kind of clothing has not been seen, but the luxury of the palace still surprised her. She has seen Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu" which describes the luxury of the palace: "The concubines and concubines, the princes and grandsons, resigned from the palace and came from Qin." Singing the night strings, for the Qin palace people. The star is on the screen, and the makeup mirror is also open. The green clouds are disturbed, and the comb is also small. Weiliu is greasy, and fat water is also discarded. The smoke is slanting and the fog is horizontal, and the pepper orchid is also burned. The thunder was shocked, and the palace car passed by. I listen to it from afar, and I don't know what it is......"

It seems that this is true. (To be continued......)
