Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian received the letter from Sister Feng and learned that Yu Liuyue had become irritable. Knowing that something was wrong, Jia Lian ordered Jia Rong to investigate deeply.

Although the Empress Dowager passed away, Jia Rong's relationship with Ningshou Palace was still there. After going to battle to inquire, I finally found out the reason why Yu Liuyue was eager to marry Jia Lian.

In August, Emperor Jiakang conferred the title of Empress Zhaoyi, whose maiden name was Jiang, who was said to be the daughter of the adoptive heir of Empress Xiaokang Duanjingren's natal family, that is, the daughter of Emperor Jiakang's first mother's family.

It is said that this beautiful girl originally entered the palace in March, Emperor Jiakang was very indifferent to her, it should be said that he was indifferent to all beautiful girls.Shouldn't this girl's elder brother be very competitive, he passed the Juren examination in August, and will participate in the next year's Chunwei.

The candidate secretly burned paper in honor of her aunt in the imperial garden, but was caught.

Emperor Jiakang happened to pass by, so he recognized his cousins ​​twice, and the girl immediately cried like an orphan who has found her relatives.

Emperor Jiakang's hero rescued the beauty, and it was so consoling, and the two confided and boarded the dragon chariot, alone and widowed, dry firewood.

In an instant, ancient songs were sung on the dragon chariot.

The next day, Empress Yu Liuyue had to be canonized according to the rules. Originally, she was to be canonized as a nobleman, but Emperor Jiakang said that the woman had a different status and asked to be canonized directly as his wife.

With her perfect tongue, Yu Liuyue managed to suppress her under the nine concubines, and canonized her as the head of the nine concubines, Empress Zhaoyi.

Now, Jiang Zhaoyi is three months pregnant, and it is said that she has been diagnosed as a boy. Emperor Jiakang chatted with the queen and said that once Jiang Zhaoyi gave birth to a prince, she would be canonized as a noble concubine.

Now that the four concubines in the palace are vacant, this is also the result of Yu Liuyue's suppression, who would have cleared the obstacles for this girl.

Yu Liuyue felt that this girl was too popular, and she was worried in her heart, fearing that the previous dynasty would seize the heir, so she was anxious to win over Jia Lian.

Yu Liuyue knew that they said they were righteous brothers and sisters, but in fact, Jia Lian had always been a courtier of Emperor Jiakang and had never been more partial than Liuyue.In fact, Yu Liuyue had never encountered a crisis before.

Jia Lian couldn't help but have a headache. He was always afraid of seizing the heir.This girl from the Jiang family pulled the tiger skin of Empress Dowager Xiaokang Duan Jingren, maybe it will be a disaster in the future.

However, this was the emperor's housework, and Jia Lian really didn't want to interfere too much.

Furthermore, the Empress herself already has two sons and two princesses, so what are you afraid of?

However, compared to Jiang Zhaoyi's superior position, Jia Lian preferred Liu Yue to be the queen mother.

Jia Lian wrote another letter asking for details of the March draft.

Jia Rong wrote back and said that the queen's draft picks emphasize moral character.That is to say, Yu Liuyue's method of drafting the show, discards all the beautiful people, leaving only the honest-looking girls.This girl surnamed Jiang concealed the fact that she was adopted to a branch of the Jiang family.

Yu Liuyue didn't notice for a while, and recruited a wolf in sheep's clothing for herself. She took every precaution, but was killed by this girl from the imperial garden.

Jia Lian thought for a while and wrote a sentence: "A hundred flowers bloom all over the garden in spring!"

Yu Liuyue did not choose the harem for the emperor, not because he loved the emperor so much, but because of the consideration of his heirs.It's all because of the loud clamor of those ministers. It was also Emperor Jiakang who offended Prince Xi and didn't help the emperor when the ministers asked for a draft one year after Emperor Qianyuan's death.

Furthermore, according to the etiquette system, the emperor observes filial piety with the sky and the moon, Xiaoxiang on the 25th, Daxiang on the 27th, and release clothes on the [-]th.

Emperor Jiakang kept his filial piety for a year and a half without touching meat, which can be regarded as having both loyalty and filial piety.

Moreover, the draft was also strongly demanded by the courtiers. These people said that the emperor had only two sons, and the heirs were weak, but in fact they each had ulterior motives.

Uncle Zhang's family also couldn't stop the crushing from etiquette. When persuading Emperor Jiakang to give in, he said: "Shou filial piety is not a matter of form. Your Majesty can obey the draft. After that, you will be 'heartbroken' for three years."

Unexpectedly, these words were broken by Jiang Shufen, a 14-year-old girl.

Yu Liuyue's negligence of precautions was also because he believed that Emperor Jiakang would be mourned for the past three years.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's mourning was only for Kunning Palace.

Yu Liuyue's angry liver pain can't make a fuss, once it gets out, the emperor will have no face to say nothing, and she herself will be suspected of being lax.

Yu Liuyue really smashed her teeth and swallowed her blood this time. Not only could she not reprimand her, she also wanted to raise her position.Yu Liuyue wanted to form an alliance with Jia Lian, but she was actually angry and disappointed with Emperor Jiakang in her heart.

First, he resented that he had not registered as a crown prince so far, and second, he resented that he reneged on his promise and got fat, and asked his wife to help her with the aftermath, claiming that this woman was arranged by the empress.Even to the woman surnamed Jiang, the queen must be kind, otherwise, that woman has made a mistake and is suspected of being the queen again.

When Sister Feng received Jia Lian's letter, she understood it in a moment. It was a flower that Yu Liuyue planted in a yard. The emperor let the emperor pick it. There are more flowers, and the maids of Jiang's family are not so rare.

Sister Feng used the signboard handed over on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to see her and told Yu Liuyue what Jia Lian meant.

Yu Liuyue understood in seconds, Jia Lian was hinting at Yu Liuyue, telling her not to suppress talents in the March draft, and just select some beautiful girls to enter the palace for the emperor to enjoy.

Yu Liuyue sighed: "If there are too many people, the grace will naturally be divided, but if there are more children, wouldn't it be like the previous dynasty? I really don't want my children to fall into that situation."

Sister Feng has more experience in back houses than Jia Lian, and she whispered: "When the empress is selecting, just leave out the daughters of high-ranking officials and Houjue families, and select the daughters of some middle-level officials. She only checks the pretty and well-behaved ones, and enters the palace. Finally, let them idle for a while, let them go and play, the empress is watching, those who are disobedient, who don't respect you, and those who like to exploit, let her fight with the Jiang family, and the empress will arrange those pretty and well-behaved companions Driver, are you afraid that they won't listen to your arrangement?"

Yu Liuyue had lumps in her heart, but she still listened to it.

In February, the Queen ordered the Zong Ling of the Clan Mansion to release the news of the draft, and then ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle it.

Jiang Zhaoyi heard that the queen Zhang Luo was drafting a show, and she cried with the emperor on her stomach.

Emperor Jiakang was actually a little afraid of Yu Liuyue. In fact, when Yu Liuyue married him, he was unlucky. He mentioned the daughters of several ministers, but they were all vague.Yu Liuyue's promise to marry him can be said to be a smart eye.

Secondly, Emperor Jiakang himself declared that he had kept his filial piety for three years, but after just over a year, the little concubine's belly became big.

The emperor couldn't hold back, but he couldn't be bothered by his concubine, so he had to ask Yu Liuyue cheekily: "Zitong, I have no intention of accepting the harem..." Yu Liuyue replied after paying respects: "Report Your Majesty, all the courtiers and concubines are in accordance with national laws and family rituals, supervised by the Clan Mansion, and implemented by the Ministry of Rites, and the custodians will select all 72 concubines from the Sangong and Six Courtyards for you, so you can rest assured."

Emperor Jiakang was choked speechless and went back.

In the first year of the draft, because the emperor and empress were not happy, the selection area was only within a hundred miles of Zhili. This time, after two years of war, Emperor Qianyuan’s filial piety period has also passed. All the officials and daughters of the family came together.

Yu Liuyue didn't participate in the first few rounds, and the clan's house brought in the servants to screen. As long as the facial features are correct and the skin is fair, they can be selected, and it doesn't matter whether they can read or not.A woman's lack of talent is virtue.

The girl from the Jiang family is illiterate, but she knows some kung fu. At the beginning, she used this to fight outside. Later, she was selected by the local government to become the heir of the Jiang family to inherit the incense.In fact, the last daughter of the Jiang family's first wife was killed by Prince Zhongyi's grandson.

The emperor felt ashamed of being with the Jiang family at the beginning, so he made such an arrangement.

Now Yu Liuyue is using the Jiang family's standard as the minimum standard for selecting beautiful women. Speaking of which, it is also for the Jiang family's face and the emperor's face.

This time, Yu Liuyue made a big selection all over the country in order to get all 81 royal wives for Emperor Jiakang.

Now there are only 36 people in the palace, big and small, and those people deliberately made trouble because of Yu Liuyue, which really made it difficult for the emperor to say anything.

When there were 120 show girls left, Yu Liuyue personally selected them.

This time, Yu Liuyue took a sharp turn, neither gorgeous nor enchanting and charming, Yu Liuyue chose a full 72 people to enter the palace, and all the seats in the Sangong and Sixth Courts were filled at once.

However, Yu Liuyue did not immediately confer four concubines and nine concubines, 27 concubines, and all the beautiful women are divided into three levels, Baolin, Yu Nu, Cai, or selected servants.

Beginning in March, Yu Liuyue ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue green-head cards for the 81 royal wives, and scheduled shifts on [-] days a month, and every night the servants would remind the emperor to choose the cards.

After such a round, the emperor is the groom every day, so happy that he can't find the north.

Jiang Zhaoyi burst into tears immediately.

After three months, the emperor slept with all his wives. Pregnant women in the harem sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain. Yu Liuyue arranged for the imperial physician to approve 35 pregnant women, including Jiang Zhaoyi, who was pregnant in ancient times, and 36 pregnant women.

As a result, Jiang Zhaoyi was submerged in the pregnant army, and Jiang Zhaoyi panicked. With so many pregnant women coming out, can the emperor promise to be a concubine after giving birth to a son?

After three months of mediation, the emperor finally realized that the beauty's kindness was hard to bear, so he shrank his head and rested in the Qianqing Palace instead of entering the harem.He didn't care who it was, and the queen asked how to promote the status of these pregnant royal wives, but he ignored it, and pushed everything to the queen.

However, the queen took the trouble to arrange all the 35 pregnant women to live in the main hall and side hall of the Sixth Court of the Sangong, and said that she would be promoted to the position after giving birth to a son.Four concubines and nine concubines and 27 world wives were born among them.

These pregnant women became black-eyed chickens for a while, and when they looked at others, they all felt that this person was a roadblock to their superiority.

Although Yu Liuyue has repeatedly emphasized that once someone makes trouble in the harem, their identity will be stripped immediately, but some people still take risks.From time to time, there are incidents of people falling and tire slipping in the Sixth Palace.

Yu Liuyue always dealt with it carefully, hit what should be hit, and punish what should be punished.Nine people were recruited before and after. After that, everyone learned to be smart, and they didn't drink food or water that was not sent by their confidantes.

In June, Jiang Shufen started, and Yu Liuyue was busy sending a letter to Emperor Jiakang, asking Emperor Jiakang to come and sit in the battle.

Jiang Shufen was in pain for a day and a night, and finally gave birth to a son, the emperor's third son.

Emperor Jiakang was very happy, and immediately named his son Shuiyu.

Yu Liuyue's two sons, the eldest son Shuizhen, and the second son Shuixiang.Zhen is the birth of Suzaku, and Xiang is the arrival of Phoenix.

Shuiyu is nothing but ample food and clothing.

Jiang Shufen didn't understand these meanings, but flattered Emperor Jiakang: "The emperor's name must be the best name in the world, isn't it?"

Emperor Jiakang looked embarrassing in front of the queen and coughed: "Of course!"
