The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

"What I mean is to teach Yongrong to stay in the palace for two more years. The mansion is newly built, so going out now may not make you feel at ease." Yongrong's wedding date is set on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. , Simply follow the example of Concubine Yu and ask her son to get married outside the palace.

Concubine Su said with a smile: "Yong Rong is already 17 years old, and Yong Zhang is still watching him outside, so the concubine has nothing to worry about."

"It's nice outside, but it's far away after all." Han Ling smiled wryly, "Then again, I don't know if Yong Xin can stay with me for a few more years."

The two big men in the harem were chatting about family affairs, but Zhi Wu came in and replied: "My lord, the empress Jia concubine has brought noble Lan to make an apology."

"Apology?" Han Ling frowned, "Apology for what?"

Zhi Wu briefly narrated: "Yigui and Langui wanted bird's nest for their front and rear feet, and the imperial dining room gave the blood swallow to Yonghe Palace. Jingyang Palace, which came first, only got white swallows. The errand maids started arguing and made the imperial dining room into a mess, so—”

Han Ling rubbed her forehead: "Teach them to come in."

Concubine Jia was honest: "My lord, it was because the ministers and concubines were not strict, which caused today's trouble."

Lan Guiren brought the court lady to kowtow to confess the crime: "I beg the master to punish you."

"I'm not afraid to make people laugh because of a blood swallow. Can the Lord Long Live shorten the cost of the harem?" The so-called "strike first when beating people, and capture the king first when catching thieves", Yonghe Palace took the initiative to plead guilty, Han Ling Naturally, there is no reason to impose a heavier punishment, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. The first month of the fine will be confiscated, and it will be used to make up for the loss of the imperial dining room."

The Yonghe Palace is like this, but the Jingyang Palace next door is not so self-conscious.

Concubine Xiang and Yigui are almost in a state where the king does not see the king. One is beautiful and arrogant, and the other is arrogant and beautiful, so there is no dispute. On the one hand, Concubine Xiang has learned from the past and dare not easily provoke disputes. The status of the concubine is not good for violating the queen's family law. The concubine Jia and the nobleman Lan can hand in hand to plead guilty. It is impossible for the concubine Xiang and the nobleman Yi to imitate the example.

Mrs. Yigui didn't think she was at fault, she believed that the root cause of the sudden dispute was that the imperial dining room watched people order dishes and didn't take her as a new nobleman into consideration; Willing to bow down to the queen to plead guilty for the love rival in the palace. Compared with Yonghe Palace, Jingyang Palace immediately fell behind.

If you don't look for me, it doesn't mean that I won't look for you. There is no such thing as Mrs. Lan's apology. Han Ling will turn a blind eye and close one eye. Now it's fine. Why should you treat the conflict between the two sides as nothing? Like everyone else?It doesn't matter if you have a high status or seniority, if you indulge yourself, how can the empress be the lord of the sixth house?

Zhang Lei sent a message according to the decree: "Xiang's concubine neglected to supervise, and she was fined for one month; the Yigui people behaved poorly, and the green head card was withdrawn for one month. There will be a next time, and they will be punished severely!"

Concubine Xiang was very angry, she felt that she was the victim of a lying gun: "Mr. Yigui is messing around, what does this have to do with me?"

Palace is a small matter, but face is a big matter. As the main position of the resurrection, Concubine Xiang especially attaches great importance to this.

Zhang Lei smiled lightly: "Miss Xiang, if you are not the head of Jingyang Palace, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Xiang choked enough: "Concubine accepts punishment."

"I want to see the empress!" Yi Gui was also angry, "It turned out that the servants of the imperial dining room and the Yonghe Palace bullied people, and Lan Gui only punished the palace, so why do I have to think about it behind closed doors?"

"My lord, questioning the Empress Dowager is a crime of disrespect. If you refuse to accept it, you might as well tell the Empress Dowager or the Lord Long Live to see how the two saints answer you." As the old saying goes, from Concubine Yi to Concubine Xiang to Yigui, Zhang Lei seriously doubted the Feng Shui problem of Jingyang Palace.

"Slave dare not!" The situation is stronger than others, and Yi Guiren still has some raised eyebrows, and secretly stamped Lan Guiren's black account, obediently accepting the queen's order of punishment.

Compared with the increasingly impetuous concubines in the harem, Huifanara Hanling went further and further on the road of a virtuous empress.

Li Yu bowed and replied: "The slaves are ordered to select five painters in the Ruyi Pavilion and wait for the orders of the master and empress."

Five court painters saluted and greeted: Minister Lang Shining, Zhang Zongcang, Xu Yang, Yu Sheng, Ding Guanpeng kowtowed to the empress. "

"That's all." Han Ling said in a flat voice, "My palace has read the previous books. In ancient times, there were virtuous concubines and concubines who can be role models for our generation. Now I have called all the ministers to draw twelve pictures according to my wishes, as the palace training. Use, if you follow my palace's will, the emperor will reward you with great rewards."

The crowd shouted: "The minister leads the decree!"

"These twelve pictures are teaching silkworms in Xiling, Hou Nian piercing the wall, Taisi Huanzi, Jiang Hou taking off her hairpin, Fan Ji looking at the moon, Gong Ji Linhuo, showing her secret without salt, Cheng Jun serving the case, Feng Yuan blocking the bear, Ban Ji Cixuan, Concubine Xu Zhijian, Zhaode Throwing Lake, you are all court priests who are well-learned in poetry and books, and these allusions are probably familiar." Han Ling picked up the teacup and took a sip, "If you don't understand, Now bluntly, if there is a mistake, I will punish you severely."

"Hey!" Everyone whispered to each other for a quarter of an hour, and finally recommended Xu Yang to review the information to the queen: "The first eleven concubines and officials have heard of it, and there is only one item of 'Zhaode Throwing Lake' that has not been heard of. Point out the maze!"

Han Ling smiled slightly: "During the Great Jin Dynasty, King Hailing was desolate and tyrannical. Hearing that Sejong's concubine Wu Linda was virtuous and beautiful, he was ordered to accompany him in Beijing. Wu Linda was chaste, so it was a disaster for Sejong. He went to Liangxiang and threw himself into a lake. Sejong Inheriting the Great Tradition, posthumously conferring the concubine Yuan as Empress Zhaode, and having not been registered as a central palace during her 30-year reign, this kind of righteousness is enough to be a model for my generation."

Except for Lang Shining's background, all five of Xu Yang were sweating profusely: "Master, the empress is knowledgeable and talented, and the ministers are ashamed. Now I have the advice of the empress, and the ministers are all impressed by the character of Empress Zhaode."

The Qing Dynasty claimed to be in the same line as the former Dajin Kingdom. Emperor Taizu established the foundation outside the Guanwai, and set the country name as "Dajin". Until now, the emperor has sent a special person to sacrifice the tomb of the Dajin Emperor. In the early years, he revised the history and left Lin'an Zhao Song directly took Tang (Northern) Song, Jin and Yuan as the orthodoxy, and Yongzheng went to the sea to select martial arts saints. Yue Wangye, who once fought against the Jin soldiers, was blown by the referee with a high vote rate, and lost to another candidate, Guan Yunchang.In the same way, you know the names of the eleven virtuous concubines of the Han people, but Empress Zhaode, who was born in the Jurchen clan, has never heard of it. If this is not done well, the heads of the nine clans will all be lost.

There is no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the present. There is no need for Han Ling to slap a few painters with words. It is extremely necessary to frighten the painters. If you don't paint well, you will be punished for both crimes!"

The painters have learned the power of Queen Nala: it is really not a good thing for a woman to study.

How did Xu Yang know that Han Ling is the master who has worked hard in this era of concubines. Although she listed Empress Zhaode as one of the twelve virtuous concubines, speaking from the bottom of her heart, she may not be contemptuous of Jin Shizong: you don't If you want to be a queen, you have to have a reputation of chasing after your dead wife, what a ghost!

No matter what Queen Nala thought, Ruyi Pavilion completed the painting task in accordance with the queen's requirements with quality and quantity guaranteed.

Princess Heming asked curiously: "Emiang, do you want to give these palace training pictures to all the concubines and concubines?"

Just as Han Ling was about to speak, Zhang Lei sent a message: "Master, my lord, the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother are here to greet you."

"It's just in time." Han Ling turned and took the seat, "Tell them to come in."

Yong Qi and Yong Rong saw the scrolls in the hands of the maids, and there were voices of praise: "The painters in the Ruyi Pavilion are really extraordinary, each of the twelve pictures has its own merits, and there is no way to pick out any flaws in a hurry."

Han Ling ordered: "I know that you two brothers are very good at calligraphy. When I go back this time, I will copy the biography of the Twelve Concubines on the back according to the history books. I have to use small letters to copy it. My painting will be stained, and I will be punished. You make it up as it is."

Yong Qi smiled apologetically: "Mother Huang, this is a picture of palace training, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to write it?"

"You are sharing your father's worries." Han Ling helped Cheng Shuang to stand up, "It's okay if you don't write, and it's not shameful to find two disciples who are better at calligraphy than yours. Choose your reasons for the last trivial matter?"

The Yongqi brothers readily agreed: "I would like to obey Yi's order."

The mother, son, and siblings were chatting, Zhang Lei replied the second time: "Master, the eldest son is here."

Han Ling nodded with a smile: "What day is it today, why are we all rushing here to get together?"

Yongying came here for his cousin's birthday: "Auntie, August is the crowning ceremony for the prince of the clan. The masters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs pushed my son to find out the news. If you want to make a big deal, you have to make preparations now."

"Where is it his turn to celebrate a big birthday?" Han Ling thought for a while, because she said to Yongying, "This year, we will only make the Mid-Autumn Festival more lively, in time for next year's fifty-year-old birthday. At that time, it is time to celebrate, and the emperor will definitely Compliment you."

Yongying smiled and said: "It's not easy to do the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. My son is selfishly thinking that he will hide for a while after the uncles are filial piety."

"I'll see that you are no worse than them." Han Ling ordered Cheng Shuang, "Ask the small kitchen to add more food, and I will leave the four of them for lunch before leaving."

Yong Ying said quickly: "I'll go and see Ten Sister, and once I see her, I'll feel tired all day long."

The two-year-old Gu Lun and Princess Xiao still maintain the good habit of laughing first when they see people. It was rare for a long time to be hugged by the three brothers, and they also got a seat to share lunch with Er Niang, brothers and sisters, until Yongqi four Everyone knelt down to rest, and Han Ling led her daughter to take a nap in the inner hall.

In life in the harem, one must not be slack and negligent. Han Ling feels that the Empress Dowager has no intention of being picky for the time being. The concubines are fairly honest, and the prince and princess are also healthy. If it weren't for this, where would I have the energy to focus on the irrelevant palace training pictures?Because of this kind of mentality, a huge mistake was exposed at the mid-autumn night banquet on August [-]th.

The author has something to say: Spoiler alert, the next year will be a turning point for the heroine.
