Concubine Shu was stunned when she heard this, but Yun Qingman immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, sister, you said yesterday that Feng Lian is different from those palace concubines before, but the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict to hire her into the palace, Concubine Yue Niangniang must not dare to do anything to her, but now looking at it, Concubine Yue Niangniang is narrow-minded, and Feng Lian is now involved in the wrestling between the Queen Mother and Concubine Yue's aunt and nephew, if you don't get her out of Huzhu Palace, what will you do?" ”

“…… Let's go back to Tongxia Palace first. Concubine Shu glared at Yun Qingman with hatred, took a deep breath, and scolded in a low voice, "It's okay if this palace says a few words about Concubine Yue, you are a beauty, what qualifications do you have to talk about the lord of the first palace?" I told you, this court is no better than at home, and at all times, you must remember to be cautious in your words and deeds! ”

Yun Qingman smiled and grabbed her arm, and said coquettishly: "I know, I know, isn't this my sister you?" Sister definitely won't let us be bullied, right? ”

While talking, he gave Yun Fenghuan a look, Yun Fenghuan just smiled with low eyebrows, and did not mean to hold the other arm of Concubine Shu with her, after all, even though Yun Qingman and Concubine Yun Shufei are not the same mother, they are also sisters from the same father, and it is natural for her sister to be coquettish and obedient, everyone knows what is the situation of her so-called sister, why should she draw a tiger and become an anti-dog?

After a while, the step stopped outside the Chengcai Hall of the main hall of Tongxia Palace, Yun Fenghuang and Yun Qingman helped Yun Shufei to get off the step, and the concubines of Tongxia Palace who followed came up to say goodbye, and Concubine Shu said a few words to them in a good voice, and let them go back to their residences, and then took the two of them into the palace.

Tongxia Palace has always been the residence of high-ranking concubines, and the whole palace is magnificent and magnificent, but the layout of the Chengcai Palace is very low-key, and the elegance is simple.

It seems that Concubine Shu is not the kind of person who values enjoyment...... Of course, this simplicity is relative to the position of the fourth concubine.

"You only entered the palace yesterday, and Feng Huang is not in front of the palace." Concubine Yun Shu ordered the palace people to serve tea and pastries, so she sent them around, only asked the two younger sisters to sit down, and said with her heart, "So I didn't tell Qingman about the situation in this palace, you are all here today, and the palace will tell you some things that you don't know or don't know outside." ”

The harem of Emperor Chunjia is estimated to be the most complicated harem of the dynasty.

Even if you look at the dynasties in history, when it comes to the degree of muddy, it must be among the best.

First of all, this emperor is the heir, and his previous relationship with the former emperor Xiaozong was a cousin and nephew. Xiaozong only had three princesses under his knees, and he died childless, so it was natural for him to have a step-nephew...... The problem is that Xiaozong has no sons, but he has a half-brother!

This younger brother, the youngest son of Emperor Shenzong, is the former King Yi and the current regent.

Although the regent has no heirs like Xiaozong, he has a son, who is the son of the current regent.

So when Xiaozong was critically ill and it was rumored in the palace that he planned to pass the throne of his stepson and nephew in the East Palace, the highest voice was the father and son of the regent. As a result, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Ji, and the Ji family succeeded Emperor Chunjia, who was further away, on the grounds that the regent had only one son and needed to succeed his biological father and could not be passed on to Xiaozong...... The problem is that Emperor Chunjia is also the only son of his biological father, King Duanyang of Fuyang, and he is still a concubine, and he was able to inherit the title of King of Fuyang under the calculations of his mother Yuan.

This is how the father and son of the regent swallowed this breath!

When Concubine Shu said this, her voice was imperceptible: "There are rumors in the palace ban: when the first emperor was sick, he actually didn't mention the succession at all, but hoped to make the regent the emperor's younger brother...... But was sternly refuted by the Empress Dowager. ”

Yun Fenghuang thought that it would be strange that the Empress Dowager would agree.

The Ji family can have the current prominence, it started when the Empress Dowager was canonized as the Empress Shenzong. Not only is the regent not the Empress Dowager's own son, but the princess regent comes from a humble background and has nothing to do with the Ji family. The key is that the regent is old, strong and strong, and has gone to the border army to temper himself, even if he is willing to abandon his wife and marry the daughter of the Ji family as the main palace, how can Emperor Chunjia be so easy to control now?

In short, Emperor Xiaozong failed to become the emperor's younger brother, but he should have given this younger brother some support during his lifetime, and after Emperor Chunjia ascended the throne, this became the regent.

What's going on with the mutual compromise in the middle, even Concubine Shu doesn't know.

The harem originally revolved around the emperor, but now the emperor himself has a complicated background and looks like a puppet, so today's six palaces do not seem to be full, but in fact, there are many mountains, each with its own master.

Needless to say, Empress Ji Lingzi and Zhaoyuan Ji Duzi are destined to succeed the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Ji from their backgrounds, and become an important guarantee for their relatives to abuse power;

His concubine Zheng Xiangchu is the niece of the eunuch, and his uncle Zheng Gu is the great eunuch who served Emperor Shenzong.

As for Concubine Yunshuang herself, as the beloved daughter of the Duke of Yiguo, she is naturally regarded as a representative of the royalist party;

Below, Concubine Xin's grandfather Cui Lianye is not only an official and a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but also a well-known Confucian in China, a literati leader, and a leader of the Qing Stream;

Needless to say, Concubine Yue, Emperor Chunjia's childhood sweetheart, the niece of the Empress Dowager, is Emperor Chunjia's descendant from her position to her feelings;

Later, Gu Zhen, the wife of Yaoning, was the pearl of Gu Fangshu, the hardcore supporter of the regent and the commander of the Dingbei Army, Zhaowubo, and belonged to the regent's faction.

The above is the general situation of this harem, relatives, eunuchs, courtiers, regents and Emperor Chunjia himself...... If you count the royalists like Yiguo Gong, who doesn't care who sits on the throne anyway, who he supports, Emperor Chunjia is not too dangerous, but if you only look at Emperor Chunjia's own power, there is no doubt that he is the weakest.

When Concubine Shu said this, she took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, and then talked about the accommodation assigned by Yun Qingman and Yun Fenghuang after entering the palace: "You all know that this ceremony to hire a noble girl and select a good family are all the meaning of the Queen Mother...... Originally, the Empress Dowager had not asked about the world for a long time, even if she was worried about the imperial heir, she only urged the Empress Dowager to be attentive, and the reason why she bypassed these two to personally pass down the decree was because of one thing: Not long ago, there was no girl in Huzhu Palace. ”

This Cai Nu was originally the palace maid of Huzhu Palace, and it is said that she secretly climbed into bed before she was named a Cai Nu.

As far as Concubine Yue's temper is concerned, she successfully climbed into bed and was not killed on the spot and was canonized, and eighty percent of it was deliberately made disgusting by Queen Ji and others. Then it's not surprising that Concubine Yue looked for a chance to kill her, but the queen and others deliberately blocked Concubine Yue, and maintained it for a few months, and when Concubine Yue found an opportunity to beat people to death, they found out that this girl was actually pregnant after sleeping once!

When she was killed, the fetus in her womb had already been formed, and it was still a male fetus...... This matter reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, who had always been worried about the heirs of Emperor Chunjia, was suddenly furious, and summoned Empress Dowager Ji and Empress Dowager Yuan to Qingci Palace to be furious!

It is said that the two pairs of aunts and nephews were scolded and couldn't kneel down in Qingci Palace, trembling.

After that, the Empress Dowager issued an edict to enrich the palace, no matter what these four people thought in their hearts, they would definitely not dare to talk more under the circumstances at that time.

It's just that they don't dare to talk more about Yi Zhi, but it doesn't mean that they can't do some other small actions, for example, Empress Ji complained to the Empress Dowager on the spot: "Concubine Yue is Your Majesty's childhood sweetheart, and she is the niece of the Empress Dowager of Love, even if the granddaughter-in-law knows that she has a violent temper, where can she dare to discipline her with a heavy hand?" But the words were so light that she couldn't listen to them......"

When Empress Dowager Yuan heard this, she hurriedly pulled Concubine Yue to continue to plead guilty, and euphemistically said that her niece was actually calculated, and the meaning in and out of the words was that this matter was a trap set by Queen Ji, otherwise Concubine Yue wanted to kill the Cai Nu for several months without success, how could she suddenly succeed smoothly, not to mention, and even before beating the person to death, she didn't know that Cai Nu was pregnant?

Eighty percent was Queen Ji who found out that Cai Nu was pregnant, so she removed her protection, and she borrowed Concubine Yue's hand to poison her!

"Daughter-in-law Sun thinks about it, the newcomers who enter the palace this time, those from a good family, forget it." Empress Ji didn't hear what Empress Dowager Yuan meant, so she asked the Empress Dowager to herself, "Sisters of courtesy, don't arrange to go to Huzhu Palace, right?" Otherwise, what will happen to Concubine Yue's sister again, so that the six palaces will see that the joke is small, and it will hurt the hearts of the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, this? ”

She didn't say that it was okay if Huzhu Palace wanted to enter the newcomer this time, she said so, how could Empress Dowager Yuan not help her niece get someone? Otherwise, if you really do what the queen said, the former harem will not have to implement Concubine Yue's reputation for being mean and unkind, and ruthless?

So Empress Dowager Yuan did everything she could, first pointing out that Cai Nu was beaten to death because she was to blame, because according to the palace rules, this kind of rash seduction of the emperor should have been disposed of, Empress Ji not only did not support Concubine Yue to deal with her request on the spot, but also mentioned Cai Nu, which is inappropriate in itself!

Of course, Empress Dowager Yuan understands why the queen did this, because the queen is gentle, kind, tolerant and generous.

In this case, Queen Ji can't just be gentle, kind, tolerant and generous to Cai Nu, right? My niece, Concubine Yue, who is calling your sister a child, also needs your gentleness, kindness, tolerance and generosity...... Yes, she is not very sensible, and her family never thought that she could be a palace concubine before, isn't this spoiled? Therefore, we need the queen's gentleness, kindness, tolerance and generosity even more!

Therefore, regarding the arrangement of the newcomers entering the palace, especially the distribution of the nobles who are hired by the courtesy, Huzhu Palace should not only not be abandoned, but should be taken care of!

Anyway, after a war of words, in the end, Empress Ji reluctantly agreed to the request of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and promised not to omit Huzhu Palace when arranging the concubines who were hired.

"And then the queen chose the wind fence?" Yun Qingman asked puzzled when he heard this, "Why?" ”

“…… The queen has chosen you! Concubine Yun Shu looked at her sister speechlessly, "The reason is that this palace has a gentle and graceful personality, presumably your sister is also a docile temperament, and she can get along with Concubine Yue, and she is tall enough, even if Concubine Yue has a bad temper, she should be afraid and dare not act recklessly." ”

Yun Qingman was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Yun Fenglian.

Concubine Yun Shu nodded expressionlessly: "That's right, it was because I heard about this that the palace discussed with my father and sent another Yun girl into the palace to replace you!" What kind of person is Concubine Yue is very clear in this palace, you are sexual. When the son goes to her palace, even if she doesn't dare to hurt your life, it is not difficult for you to cry and cry out...... You are from the same father of this palace, and you were raised by your own mother in this palace, and you are no different from your sister in this palace, how can this palace be willing to let you suffer this grievance? ”

Although it is said that the Yun clan is not without girls suitable for entering the palace except for Yun Qingman, but now that the harem water is so deep, if there is no way, who wants to send their own daughter in? It just so happens that Yun Ju's family has a niece of his wife and clan who came from afar, and her age and appearance are just right, the so-called dead friends are not dead and poor, this is not Xie Fenghuan has become Yun Fenghuan, and he has come to the palace to give the Yun family a top cylinder?

Concubine Shu took a sip of tea, looked at Yun Fenghuan, who lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and said calmly, "As for you, after you came to the imperial capital from the north, you relied on becoming a close friend with Qingman in the boudoir to quickly gain a foothold in the ladies of the imperial capital, and in the past three years, Qingman has helped you a lot, whether intentionally or unintentionally." This is one of them. ”

"Second, the matter of your sister-in-law not only caused you to leave the imperial capital, but the Xie family was also affected a lot in the local area. After the palace decided to let you enter the palace to replace Qingman, it has already informed the people of the Yiguo Mansion in the Northland to take care of the Xie family! ”

"So, whether you are a threat to the palace, or a threat to the palace, in short, the ins and outs of the matter, the palace has already told you, as the result of the compromise between the palace and the queen, it is impossible for the palace to get you from the Huzhu Palace to another place now!"

With that, Concubine Shu picked up the tea again, squinting and waiting for Yun Fenghuan's reaction.
